Hemodynamic Changes During Posterior Vessel Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass: Comparison Between Deep Pericardial Sutures and Vacuum-Assisted Apical Suction Device
Displacement of the heart using either a deep pericardial suture technique or a vacuum-assisted apical suction device caused a significant decrease in SVI. The hemodynamic changes during OM grafting were smaller when using a vacuum-assisted apical suction device.
A Prospective Randomized Study to Evaluate the Effect of Leukodepletion on the Rate of Alveolar Production of Exhaled Nitric Oxide During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Continuous arterial line leukocyte-depletion significantly reduces the rate of alveolar production of exhaled nitric oxide after cardiopulmonary bypass. Changes in the rate of alveolar production of exhaled nitric oxide may be used as a marker of pulmonary inflammation in coronary artery surgery.
A Review of Anti-Inflammatory Strategies in Cardiac Surgery
The overall conclusion is that although certain strategies reduce plasma levels of inflammatory mediators, convincing evidence of significant clinical benefits is yet to come.

Ischaemia-Reperfusion Injury Activates Matrix Metalloproteinases in the Human Heart
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) regulate matrix remodelling in the heart and play a pivotal role in myocardial dysfunction immediately following ischaemia-reperfusion injury ex vivo in rats.
Relationship Between Cerebral Injury and Inflammatory Responses in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass
In conclusion, it is considered that ghrelin as well as S-100B can be a useful marker for the prediction of stoke after CPB. Increase of TNF-alpha, interleukin-10 and soluble TNF-receptor I after CPB may be involved in the pathogenesis of stroke after CPB.
Experimental Study of the Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Osteogenesis in Rabbit
In this study, PRP compounded with porous bioceramic was used to repair a bone defect in rabbit radius. The radiographic and histological qualitative and quantitative observations were performed to evaluate osteogenesis.
Controversial Significance of Early S100B Levels After Cardiac Surgery
We conclude that the clinical value of S100B as a predictive measurement of postoperative cognitive dysfunction after cardiac surgery is limited.
Negative Fluid Displacement: An Alternative Method to Assess Patency of Arterial Line Cannulation
With increased use of femoral cannulation for minimally invasive cardiac surgical procedures, this RAP technique can enhance the perfusionist's and the surgeon's ability to safely perform bypass in the presence of higher dissection risk.
The Effect of Zero-Balanced Ultrafiltration During Cardiopulmonary Bypass on S100b Release and Cognitive Function
Zero-balanced ultrafiltration (ZBUF) might reduce the systemic inflammatory response (SIRS) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) by removing inflammatory mediators.
