BACKGROUND
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes, particularly neutrophils, are important mediators of ischemia/reperfusion-induced myocardial and coronary vascular injury. The selectin family of glycoprotein receptors mediates neutrophil "rolling," a loose, transient adhesion to the coronary endothelium
Myocardial infarction (MI) is identified as one of the major causes of mortality and disability worldwide. For severe myocardial infarction, even advanced forms of clinical intervention often lead to unsatisfactory therapeutic results. Thus, alternative strategies for MI treatment are still
BACKGROUND
Thrombus formation, a phenomenon primarily related to increased platelet activation, plays a key role in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Although the established antiplatelet agents, such as aspirin and clopidogrel, have been shown to be beneficial in treating thromboembolic
Alginate oligosaccharide (AOS) has recently demonstrated the ability to protect against acute doxorubicin cardiotoxicity and neurodegenerative disorders by inhibiting oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated apoptosis, which are both involved in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) are directly involved in development of ischemic myocardial injury. Adhesion of PMN to endothelial cells is an initial step that triggers a sequential process leading to acute inflammatory responses. Interaction between P-selectin and its oligosaccharide ligand,
Previous studies have implicated the selectins (P- and L-selectin) in the acute phase of myocardial reperfusion injury. However, it is unclear whether these adhesion molecules are involved in the pathogenesis of myocardial reperfusion associated with longer periods of reperfusion. Dogs (n = 8/group)
The ability to interact with cell surface glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) is essential to the cell migration properties of chemokines, but association with soluble GAGs induces the oligomerization of most chemokines including CXCL12. Monomeric CXCL12, but not dimeric CXCL12, is cardioprotective in a
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether soybean oligosaccharides (SO) protects heart function against myocardium ischemia reperfusion (MIR) injury. Hearts were 20min global ischemia and 50min reperfusion. Rats were fed for 30days with saline (sham and MIR groups) or the SO (200 or
Although serum total sialic acid has been shown to be a cardiovascular risk factor, with elevated levels associated with increased cardiovascular mortality and also with cerebrovascular disease, the reason for the elevation in serum sialic acid content remains obscure. It has been shown that an
Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) is one of the leading causes of neonatal mortality and permanent neurological disability worldwide and the effective treatment strategies are not yet available. It has been demonstrated that Chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) exerts protective effect in
2'-Fucosyllactose (2'-FL) is a major oligosaccharide in human milk and is present at trace levels in cow milk. 2'-FL reduces inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. Its action in the central nervous system has not been well characterized. The purpose of this study is to determine 2'-FL-mediated
OBJECTIVE
To estimate the stability and reliability of lipoprotein(a) cholesterol measurement, and explore the possibility to evaluate lipoprotein(a) excess in plasma by using lipoprotein(a)-cholesterol assay alternatively to assay lipoprotein(a).

Asthma and COPD are chronic inflammatory conditions that affect hundreds of millions of patients worldwide. New therapeutics are desperately needed, especially those that target the underlying causes and prevent disease progression. Although asthma and COPD have distinct etiologies, both are
Since currently available thrombolytics still show disadvantages, such as administration by infusion, occurrence of intracranial hemorrhage, major hemorrhagic complications, allergic reactions, and high price, a novel tissue plasminogen activator has been developed. BM 06.022 is a t-PA mutant
