Transient receptor potential canonical type 3 channels control the vascular contractility of mouse mesenteric arteries [PDF]
Transient receptor potential canonical type 3 (TRPC3) channels are non-selective cation channels and regulate intracellular Ca2+ concentration. We examined the role of TRPC3 channels in agonist-, membrane depolarization (high K+)-, and mechanical ...

ATHEROSCLEROSIS OF THE INTERNAL MAMMARY ARTERY IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFTING [PDF]
In patients requiring coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), usually at least one of the internal mammary arteries is used. This study evaluates the degree of atherosclerotic involvement of the internal mammary artery (IMA) in patients undergoing CABG ...

REVASCULARIZACIÓN MIOCÁRDICA CON AMBAS ARTERIAS MAMARIAS INTERNAS, UN RETO PARA LOS CIRUJANOS CARDIOVASCULARES ACTUALES / Myocardial revascularization with both internal mammary arteries, a challenge for cardiovascular surgeons nowadays [PDF]
The left internal mammary artery is currently the most common graft in surgical myocardial revascularization. However, in spite of the works showing the effectiveness of the use of both mammary arteries, this technique remains a controversial topic in ...

Coronary artery grafting in infants [PDF]
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiac vale repair is an uncommon surgery in infants. CABG is technically demanding in infants due to the small size not only of the coronary arteries but also the potential graft arteries.

Interventional radiology treatments for iatrogenic severe bleeding during percutaneous coronary interventions [PDF]
Purpose: Interventional cardiology and interventional radiology are separate medical disciplines in which intra-arterial contrast media are used. Interventional cardiology has resigned from many types of treatment techniques that are now used and ...

ACE2 and AT4R are present in diseased human blood vessels
A growing body of evidence suggests that the angiotensin II fragments, Ang(1-7) and Ang(3-8), have a vasoactive role, however ACE2, the enzyme that produces Ang(1-7), or AT4R, the receptor that binds Ang (3-8), have yet been simultaneously localised in ...

Coronary artery fistulas are abnormal connections between the coronary arteries with a heart chamber or any of the major blood vessels. Fistulous connections between systemic arteries and pulmonary vessels are even less frequent.

High glucose enhances store-operated calcium entry by upregulating ORAI/STIM via calcineurin-NFAT signalling [PDF]
© 2014, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. Abstract: ORAI and stromal interaction molecule (STIM) are store-operated channel molecules that play essential roles in human physiology through a coupling mechanism of internal Ca 2+ store to Ca 2+ influx ...

Microengineered Gradient Hydrogels for Mechanobiology
Gradient hydrogels are used to mimic the mechanical heterogeneity in native tissues, offering powerful in vitro platforms to study cell‐material interactions in diverse pathophysiological contexts. Here, we present a comprehensive review of the design and experimental considerations for stiffness gradient hydrogels, discussing exemplary achievements ...
