8-iso-prostaglandin F(2 alpha)(8-iso-PGF(2 alpha)), a representative isoprostane, has been reported to be a reliable marker for oxidant stress in vivo. To examine if 8-iso-PGF(2 alpha)is generated in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), we measured the level of immunoreactive 8-iso PGF(2
BACKGROUND
Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of atherogenesis. The aim of our study is to examine whether the plasma 8-iso-prostaglandin F(2alpha) level, a marker of oxidative stress, is elevated in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
METHODS
Three groups of patients
There is increasing evidence that platelets play an important role in the pathogenesis of acute ischemic heart disease. Therefore an understanding of factors that influence platelet performance is important. This study was undertaken (1) to characterize during evolving myocardial infarction platelet
The aim of this study was to compare the therapeutic effects of muskone, a traditional preparation containing slender Dutchmanspipe root (MCS) used to treat angina pectoris and related conditions, muskone containing inula root (MCI) in place of MCS, and muskone (M) without either slender
Statins reduce infarct size by upregulating nitric oxide synthases and PGI2 production. In this article, the infarct size-limiting effect of low-dose simvastatin + ezetimibe, ezetimibe, and high-dose statins were compared. Rats received 3-day water, atorvastatin (10 mg/kg/d), simvastatin (10
The aim of this study was to examine the expression of antibodies against two different sources of low density lipoprotein (LDL) that were oxidized by CuSO(4), in patients with early stage of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). When LDL purified from sera with high level of LDL was used as a modified
Allopurinol, an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, was shown to improve the regional ventricular function after coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion in animal models. The effects of oral administration of allopurinol on a transient increase in free radical generation after primary percutaneous
OBJECTIVE
This study evaluated the efficacy of catheter-based transcoronary myocardial hypothermia (CTMH) in pigs with acute myocardial ischemia.
BACKGROUND
Although it has been suggested that hypothermia therapy can attenuate myocardial necrosis, few applications have been accepted for clinical
ZJM-289 is a potent racemic agent which inhibits both platelet aggregation and thrombosis superior to a known anti-ischemic stroke drug 3-n-butylphthalide (NBP). Herein, the enantiomers of ZJM-289, (S)-ZJM-289 and (R)-ZJM-289, were synthesized and evaluated for their biological activities. It was
8-Iso-prostaglandin F(2)(alpha) (8-iso-PGF(2)(alpha)), a representative isoprostane, is a reliable biomarker for enhanced oxidant stress in vivo. Its urinary excretion has been proposed as a risk marker in patients with coronary heart disease. Isoprostane content has not yet been well elucidated so
OBJECTIVE
The TRPV1, transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1, agonist capsaicin is considered to be beneficial for cardiovascular health because it dilates coronary arteries through an endothelial-dependent mechanism and may slow atheroma progression. However, recent reports indicate that high
Prostacyclin (PgI(2)) and endothelium-derived nitric oxide (EDNO) are produced by the arterial and venous endothelium. In addition to their vasodilator action on vascular smooth muscle, both act together to inhibit platelet aggregation and promote platelet disaggregation. EDNO also inhibits platelet
The D allele of the insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism in the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene and the C allele of the A1166-C polymorphism in the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AGT1R) gene have been associated with altered vascular structure and with an increased risk of myocardial
OBJECTIVE
To observe effects of effective components compatibility of aqueous extracts of Salviae Miltiorrhizae and Rhizoma Chuanxiong on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rat.
METHODS
Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sham group, model group, Guanxinning injection
Objective: Several observational epidemiological studies have shown an increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in oral contraceptive (OC) users who smoke cigarettes. Nearly a quarter of all OC users are smokers. The etiology of MI in OC users has been shown to be thrombotic, and the
