The GP IIb/IIIa Inhibitor Abciximab (ReoPro((R))) Decreases Activation and Interaction of Platelets and Leukocytes During In Vitro Cardiopulmonary Bypass Simulation
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor abciximab (ReoPro((R))) on the function and interaction of platelets and leukocytes during experimental CPB.
Autologous Preparations Rich in Growth Factors Promote Proliferation and Induce VEGF and HGF Production by Human Tendon Cells in Culture
Our goal was to evaluate the potential beneficial effect of proteins released from platelet-rich clots on tendon healing.
Propofol Attenuates Lung Endothelial Injury Induced by Ischemia-Reperfusion and Oxidative Stress
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of the anesthetic propofol, which has antioxidant properties, to prevent oxidative lung injury by measuring ACE shedding.

Comparison of Pulsatile With Nonpulsatile Mechanical Support in a Porcine Model of Profound Cardiogenic Shock
The aim of this study was to examine whether pulsatility by intraaortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) is an important adjunct to the treatment of profound cardiogenic shock (CS) with a widely used, nonpulsatile centrifugal pump (CP).
Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Humans – Jejunal Mucosal Perfusion Increases in Parallel With Well-Maintained Microvascular Hematocrit
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of mild hypothermic CPB on intestinal mucosal perfusion in man undergoing cardiac surgery.
Left Ventricular Diastolic Function Similar After On-Pump and Off-Pump CABG
Left ventricular (LV) diastolic function improvement after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is similar regardless of whether the patient undergoes surgery on-pump or off-pump, according to a report in the March 1st issue of The American Journal of Cardiology.
