Circulatory Arrest and Low-Flow Cardiopulmonary Bypass Alter CREB Phosphorylation in Piglet Brain
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of low-flow cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest followed by postbypass recovery on the phosphorylation state of transcription factor, cyclic adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate response element-binding protein (CREB), in the striatum of neonatal brain.
Femoral Versus Aortic Cannulation for Surgery of Chronic Ascending Aortic Aneurysm
In this study, the impact of the arterial cannulation site on the perioperative results after proximal aortic surgery is evaluated.
Using a Miniaturized Circuit and an Asanguineous Prime to Reduce Neutrophil-Mediated Organ Dysfunction Following Infant Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We determined whether using a miniaturized circuit and an asanguineous prime attenuated the post-bypass inflammatory response, and improved right ventricular and pulmonary function.
High Flow Rates During Modified Ultrafiltration Decrease Cerebral Blood Flow Velocity and Venous Oxygen Saturation in Infants
We investigated the effects of different blood flow rates during modified ultrafiltration on the cerebral hemodynamics of children with weights above and below 10 kg.
Propofol is Cardioprotective in a Clinically Relevant Model of Normothermic Blood Cardioplegic Arrest and Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Propofol may therefore be a useful adjunct to cardioplegic solutions as well as being an appropriate anesthetic for cardiac surgery.

Changes in Platelet Aggregation During Dardiopulmonary Bypass: Comparison of Poly-2-methoxyethylacrylate and Heparin as a Circuit Coating Material
In this study, a CPB system coated with poly-2-methoxyethylacrylate (X coating) was used to ascertain whether platelet aggregation could be suppressed during CPB, and a comparison was made between X coating and ordinary (covalently bonded) heparin coating.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Combined With a Porous Hydroxyapatite Graft for the Treatment of Intrabony Periodontal Defects in Humans: A Comparative Controlled Clinical Study
The aim of the present controlled clinical study was to compare platelet-rich plasma (PRP) combined with a biodegradable ceramic, porous hydroxyapatite (HA) with a mixture of HA and saline in the treatment of human intrabony defects.
Optimal pH Strategy for Selective Cerebral Perfusion
Selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) affords brain protection superior to hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) for prolonged aortic arch procedures.
