formaldehyde/infarction

Although mortality rates during acute myocardial infarction (AMI) continue to drop, cardiac rupture (left ventricular free wall [LVFW] or ventricular septum [VS] or papillary muscle [PM] or combination) remains relatively common. The aim was to identify commonalities among patients with AMI

In the present study, we evaluated the applicability of ex vivo photoacoustic imaging (PAI) on small animal organs. We used photoacoustic tomography (PAT) to visualize infarcted areas within murine hearts and compared these data to other imaging techniques [magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),

We describe a technique for repairing the ventricular septal perforation 10 days post acute anteroseptal myocardial infarction using the modified infarction exclusion method. The repair involves endoventricular circular patch plasty and application of gelatin-resorcinol-formaldehyde biological glue

The anterior branch of the left coronary artery of the rat heart was ligated and the effects of anoxia on adrenergic nerves were studied histochemically using formaldehyde-induced fluorescence for localization of norepinephrine. Greenish catecholamine fluorescence was associated in the normal or

Depletion of human heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) from cardiomyocytes in infarcted areas with varying postinfarction intervals was studied in 25 autopsy cases. In 23 autopsy cases myocardial infarction was the clinical diagnosis; 2 cases were noncardiac deaths and served as controls.

A surgical technique for simple and safe repair of oozing-type postinfarction cardiac rupture secondary to extended myocardial infarction is described. A hood-shaped pericardium was glued with gelatin-resorcinol and formaldehyde glue to cover the extended oozing infarcted myocardium. This technique

Basing on analysis of 1383 hospitalizations because of myocardial infarction during 5 years the following climatic events were found to be associated with development of the disease: rapid changes of atmospheric pressure, temperature or humidity, and magnetic storms. Technogenic ecological factors

OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of recent coronary thrombus in a population died of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to evaluate the relation between its presence and some clinical parameters (age, gender, time interval between the onset of symptoms and death and cause of

In brain injury, concentrations of extracellular excitatory amino acids are increased and stimulate glutamate receptors in general and the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-preferring subtype in particular. That stimulation causes substantial calcium influx, which appears to initiate a cascade of events

MCA occlusion in animals is a common model for experimental stroke. In previous studies we have shown that one of the factors, which influence evolution of an infarct is microthrombosis in the area of infarction and in the surrounding brain tissue. The present study was undertaken for assessment of

To investigate the effects of hyperinsulinemia on the myocardial vessels, long acting insulin (mixtard, a combination of 30% regular human insulin and 70% NPH human insulin) was injected daily for 8 weeks, intraperitoneally, in two strains of rats, normotensive WKY and hypertensive SHR. There were

Light microscopic immunohistochemical studies were performed to evaluate the distribution of fibronectin in paraffin sections of p-formaldehyde-fixed normal rat hearts and the hearts of rats that had undergone ligation of the left coronary artery. A peroxidase-labeled antibody technique was used,

BACKGROUND Inflammation after myocardial infarction (MI) heralds worse left ventricular (LV) function and clinical outcomes. However, whether inflammation affects LV function by extending myonecrosis and/or altering LV remodeling remains unknown. We hypothesized that cytotoxic aldehydes generated

Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) catalyzes the conversion of methylamine to formaldehyde. This enzyme is located on the surface of the cytoplasmic membrane and in the cytosol of vascular endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and adipocytes. Increased SSAO activity has been found in

Previously, it has been shown that following occlusion of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) in cats, i.v. administration of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAD) significantly decreases the incidence of ventricular fibrillation (VF), which terminates spontaneously upon appearance. Furthermore,
