A New Treatment Strategy for Advanced Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonia: Living-Donor Lobar Lung Transplantation
To analyze the effect of living-donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT) for patients with advanced IIP including those receiving high-dose systemic corticosteroids.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Provides Nucleus for Minerilization in Cultures of Partially Differentiated Periodontal Ligament Cells
We have now examined the effects of PRP on in vitro mineralization.
Effects of Pulsatile CPB on Interleukin-8 and Endothelin-1 Levels
In the present study, pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was investigated in terms of the effects on cytokines, endothelin, catecholamine, and pulmonary and renal functions.
Effects of Autotransfusion of Mediastinal Shed Blood on Biochemical Markers of Myocardial Damage in Coronary Surgery
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of autotransfusion of mediastinal shed blood on the serum levels of CK-MB, cardiac troponin T (cTnT), and H-FABP after uncomplicated primary CABG.
The Effects of Aprotinin and Tranexamic Acid on Thrombin Generation and Fibrinolytic Response After Cardiac Surgery
The aim of the study was to examine the effects of aprotinin and tranexamic acid on thrombin generation and fibrinolytic activity in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Experimental Studies on Artificial Blood Usage for Hemodilution during Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a novel perfluoro-octyl bromide (PFOB) emulsion, one of perfluorochemicals (PFCs) emulsions, administered during hemodilution CPB.
Perioperative Monitoring of Primary and Secondary Hemostasis in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
To evaluate the PFA performance in perioperative monitoring, a study was performed in 49 patients selected for low bleeding risk undergoing selective primary coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Microvessel Angiogenesis: A Possible Cardioprotective Mechanism of External Counterpulsation for Canine Myocardial Infarction
It has been proposed that the beneficial effects of EECP observed in clinical studies may be due to the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and collateral development.
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Inhibits Demineralized Bone Matrix-Induced Intramuscular Cartilage and Bone Formation. A Study of Immunocompromised Mice
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of PDGF on the ability of human demineralized bone matrix to induce bone formation in a nude-mouse muscle-implantation model.
