Noxious gases in greenhouses

Likas, C.; Exarchou, V.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Giaglaras, P.; Gemptos, T.; Kittas, K.; Molyvdas, P. A. (2001)

The concentration of NO2 and SO2 was measured in a commercial greenhouse from 23/9/1999-25/01/2000. The measurements showed that the level of the two gases is very high in the greenhouse atmosphere. Lung function tests in ...

Long-term exposure to muscarinic agonists decreases expression of contractile proteins and responsiveness of rabbit tracheal smooth muscle cells

Stamatiou, R.; Paraskeva, E.; Vasilaki, A.; Mylonis, I.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Hatziefthimiou, A. (2014)

Background: Chronic airway diseases, like asthma or COPD, are characterized by excessive acetylcholine release and airway remodeling. The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effect of muscarinic agonists on ...

REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN THE MODULATORY ROLE OF THE EPITHELIUM IN SHEEP AIRWAY

Hatziefthimiou, A.; Kiritsi, M.; Kiropoulou, C.; Vasilaki, A.; Sakellaridis, N.; Molyvdas, P. A. (2009)

P>The airway epithelium may modulate smooth muscle responsiveness via the release of biologically active substances, such as nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandins. Based on regional differences in structure and function ...

Intracellular action of magnesium in airways smooth muscle relaxation in rabbit

Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Chatziparasidis, G.; Chatziefthimiou, A.; Molyvdas, P. A. (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

Aidonidis, I.; Doulas, K.; Hatziefthimiou, A.; Tagarakis, G.; Simopoulos, V.; Rizos, I.; Tsilimingas, N.; Molyvdas, P. A. (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 ...

Ranolazine enhances the antiarrhythmic activity of amiodarone by accelerating conversion of new-onset atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery

Aidonidis, I.; Simopoulos, V.; Tagarakis, G.; Skoularingis, I.; Leftheriotis, D.; Rizos, I.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Tsilimingas, N. (2013)

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

Aidonidis, I.; Poyatzi, A.; Stamatiou, G.; Lymberi, M.; Stamatoyannis, N.; Molyvdas, P. A. (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

Aidonidis, I.; Poyatzi, A.; Stamatiou, G.; Lymberi, M.; Molyvdas, P. A. (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 ...

Ranolazine prevents inducibility of atrial fibrillation elicited by acetylcholine and rapid atrial pacing in anesthetized rabbits

Aidonidis, I.; Doulas, K.; Stamatiou, G.; Papadopoulos, D.; Makantasis, I.; Molyvdas, P. A. (2010)

Effect of adrenaline on the electrophysiologic profile of isolated visceral sheep peritoneum

Zarogiannis, S.; Stefanidis, I.; Hatzoglou, C.; Liakopoulos, V.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Molyvdas, P. A. (2004)

The peritoneal mesothelium is a barrier to ion transport in peritoneal dialysis. In the present study, we investigated, by means of Ussing chamber experiments, the effect of adrenaline on the electrical transepithelial ...
