Ultrasound Detection of Myocardial Ischemic Memory Using an E-Selectin Targeting Peptide Amenable to Human Application by Xiaoping Leng, Jianjun Wang, Andrew Carson, Xucai Chen, Huili Fu, Susanne Ottoboni, William R. Wagner, Flordeliza S. Villanueva

“…Ultrasound molecular imaging of recent myocardial ischemia was performed in rats 4 hours after transient (15 minutes) coronary occlusion. MB ESEL adhesion was higher to inflamed versus normal ECs in vitro; there was no difference in MB CTL or MB IgG adhesion to inflamed versus normal ECs. …”

N-Acetylcysteine Attenuates Diabetic Myocardial Ischemia Reperfusion Injury through Inhibiting Excessive Autophagy by Sheng Wang, Chunyan Wang, Fuxia Yan, Tingting Wang, Yi He, Haobo Li, Zhengyuan Xia, Zhongjun Zhang

“…Diabetes was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats with streptozotocin and they were treated without or with NAC (1.5 g/kg/day) for four weeks before being subjected to 30-minute coronary occlusion and 2-hour reperfusion. The results showed that cardiac levels of 15-F2t-Isoprostane were increased and that autophagy was evidenced as increases in ratio of LC3 II/I and protein P62 and AMPK and mTOR expressions were significantly increased in diabetic compared to nondiabetic rats, concomitant with increased postischemic myocardial infarct size and CK-MB release but decreased Akt and eNOS activation. …”

Association between the triglyceride-glucose index and contrast-induced nephropathy in chronic total occlusion patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention by Serdar Söner, Adem Aktan, Raif Kılıç, Hamdullah Güzel, Ercan Taştan, Metin Okşul, Adnan Duha Cömert, Mehmet Sait Coşkun, Hülya Tosun Söner, Tuncay Güzel

“…In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between the TyG index and CIN and mortality in patients who underwent PCI due to chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO). Methods Two hundred eighteen individuals from three separate medical centers who underwent procedural PCI between February 2010 and April 2012 and had a CTO lesion in at least one coronary artery were recruited. …”

Acute Pericarditis Occurring Three Days after Intravesical Instillation of Mitomycin C after Transurethral Bladder Tumor Resection in a 64-Year-Old Woman by Vineet Meghrajani, Arsalan Hashmi, Shuo Cheng Lin, Zvi Plawes, Shelly Brejt

“…During her angiogram, it was found that she had multiple stenotic coronary artery lesions, with no acute total coronary occlusions, and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was done with placement of a single drug-eluting stent for a 95% stenotic lesion in the left anterior descending artery. …”
