The mitogenic effect of testosterone and 17 beta-estradiol on airway smooth muscle cells
(2011)
Airway disease distribution and/or severity exhibit sex differences suggesting that sex hormones are involved in the respiratory system physiology and pathophysiology. The implication of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) ...
Differential expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha in non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer
(2012)
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha and vascular endothelial growth factor in small cell lung cancer and subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer and examine ...
Endothelial Progenitor Cells in the Pathogenesis of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: An Evolving Concept
(2013)
Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has been associated with abnormal vascular remodeling. Bone marrow derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are considered to possess lung tissue repair and vascular ...
Effect of Ranolazine in Preventing Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Coronary Revascularization Surgery
(2013)
Background/Objective: Ranolazine is a new anti-ischemic agent approved for chronic angina with additional electrophysiologic properties. The purpose of the present trial was to investigate its effect in preventing postoperative ...
Long-term exposure to muscarinic agonists decreases expression of contractile proteins and responsiveness of rabbit tracheal smooth muscle cells
(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 ...
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 ...
