A Heuristic Bayesian Approach to Knowledge Acquisition: Application to Analysis of Tissue-Type Plasminogen Activator [PDF]
This paper describes a heuristic Bayesian method for computing probability distributions from experimental data, based upon the multivariate normal form of the influence diagram. An example illustrates its use in medical technology assessment. This approach facilitates the integration of results from different studies, and permits a medical expert to ...

Erythrocyte-Inspired Discoidal Polymeric Nanoconstructs carrying Tissue Plasminogen Activator for the Enhanced Lysis of Blood Clots [PDF]
Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is the sole approved therapeutic molecule for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. Yet, only a small percentage of patients could benefit from this life-saving treatment because of medical contraindications and severe side effects, including brain hemorrhage, associated with delayed administration.

Effect of valsartan on angiotensin II-induced plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 biosynthesis in arterial smooth muscle cells [PDF]
Previous studies have shown that angiotensin II stimulates the synthesis of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 in cultured vascular cells, which suggests that activation of the renin-angiotensin system may impair fibrinolysis.

Abstract Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from incomplete fossil fuel combustion (coal, oil, gas and diesel) has been linked to increased morbidity and mortality due to metabolic diseases. PM2.5 exaggerate adipose inflammation and insulin resistance in mice with diet‐induced obesity.

Genetics of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in a Ghanaian Population. [PDF]
Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), a major modulator of the fibrinolytic system, is an important factor in cardiovascular disease (CVD) susceptibility and severity.

Numerical study of cancer cell invasion dynamics using adaptive mesh refinement: the urokinase model [PDF]
In the present work we investigate the chemotactically and proteolytically driven tissue invasion by cancer cells. The model employed is a system of advection-reaction-diffusion equations that features the role of the serine protease urokinase-type plasminogen activator.

There is no pharmacological treatment available to limit progressing neuronal death after cerebral ischemia. Here we show that targeting the interaction of GABAB receptors with CaMKII using a synthetic interfering peptide after an excitotoxic insult in cultured neurons or in brain slices from MCAO‐treated mice restored downregulated GABAB receptor ...

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt regulates the balance between plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and urokinase to promote migration of SKOV-3 ovarian cancer cells [PDF]
Increased levels of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) are associated with shortened overall survival in ovarian cancer patients. Additionally, elevated levels of the serine protease inhibitor (serpin), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1 ...
