Intracellular action of magnesium in airways smooth muscle relaxation in rabbit
(1999)
This study was designed to examine whether magnesium has an intracellular action on airways smooth muscle contraction. Tracheal muscle strips were obtained from six male rabbits and perfused in a bathing chamber. The muscle ...
Ranolazine-Induced Postrepolarization Refractoriness Suppresses Induction of Atrial Flutter and Fibrillation in Anesthetized Rabbits
(2013)
Ranolazine (Ran) is a novel anti-ischemic agent with electrophysiologic properties mainly attributed to the inhibition of late Na+ current and atrial-selective early Na+ current. However, there are only limited data regarding ...
Dose-Related Shortening of Ventricular Tachycardia Cycle Length After Administration of the K-ATP Channel Opener Bimakalim in a 4-Day-Old Chronic Infarct Anesthetized Pig Model
(2009)
Potassium channel openers are known to act on potassium ATP-dependent channels in cardiac tissue. Such agents may exacerbate acceleration of acute ischemia-induced ventricular repolarization and aggravate arrhythmias. To ...
Assessment of local atrial repolarization in a porcine acetylcholine model of atrial flutter and fibrillation
(2009)
Objectives - Progressive electrical alternans followed by conduction block and fibrillatory conduction have been suggested to precede disorganization of atrial flutter (Afl) to atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of the ...
Cytokine levels in the sera of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(2006)
Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fibroprotiferative disorder. Cytokines contribute an important but yet undefined role to its pathogenesis. Objectives: The present study aims to compare serum levels of ...
Depression and pulmonary function in outpatients with asthma
(2004)
The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between depression, anxiety and pulmonary function in asthmatics. Thirty-eight adult asthmatic patients underwent psychometric evaluation with the DSSI/sAD questionnaire, ...
Pleural electrophysiology alterations in spontaneous pneumothorax patients
(2010)
Physiology changes of the pleura in spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) patients are not known with its etiology remaining unclear. The aim of the study was to investigate the pleural electrophysiology profile of SP patients and ...
