Diaphragmatic myoblasts (DM) are stem cells of the diaphragm, a muscle displaying high resistance to stress and exhaustion. We hypothesized that DM modified to overexpress connexin-43 (cx43), seeded on aligned poly (l-lactic acid) (PLLA) sheets would decrease infarct size and improve ventricular

Some gel types have been reported to prevent left ventricular (LV) remodeling in myocardial infarction (MI) animal models. In this study, we tested biodegradable thermoresponsive gels. Poly(L-lactic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLLA-PEG) and poly(D-lactic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PDLA-PEG) were

Electrospinning using biocompatible polymer scaffolds, seeded with or without stem cells, is considered a promising technique for producing fibrous scaffolds with therapeutic possibilities for ischemic heart disease. However, no optimal scaffolds for treating ischemic heart disease have been

Visual loss following esthetic treatment of the face is a rare but devastating iatrogenic complication. The authors report a case of a 43-year-old man with blindness and ophthalmoplegia of the left eye following a treatment of the left periorbital region with the subcutaneous filler poly-(L)-lactic

Congestive heart failure is mostly resulted in a consequence of the limited myocardial regeneration capacity after acute myocardial infarction. Targeted delivery of proangiogenic factors and/or stem cells to the ischemic myocardium is a promising strategy for enhancing their local and sustained

Diaphragmatic myoblasts (DMs) are precursors of type-1 muscle cells displaying high exhaustion threshold on account that they contract and relax 20 times/min over a lifespan, making them potentially useful in cardiac regeneration strategies. Besides, it has been shown that biomaterials for stem cell

302 male myocardial infarction patients were divided into 4 groups according to their symptom-limited physical working capacity and examined during bicycle ergometer training. Lactic acid and heart rate during training were measured. RESULTS Arterial lactic acid and training heart rate decreased

OBJECTIVE We performed a basic investigation using white rabbits of the sustained release and embolizing effects of poly L-lactic acid microspheres (PLA) to determine their usefulness for chemoembolization. METHODS Fifteen male Japanese white rabbits were used. Sustained release of an embolizing

92 female patients with myocardial infarction were divided into three exercise groups of 25 W, 50 W and 75 W according to their symptom-limited working capacity and examined during bicycle ergometer training. Exercise tolerance, training heart rate and arterial lactic acid were analyzed. RESULTS 1.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term safety of the Igaki-Tamai stent, the first-in-human fully biodegradable coronary stent made of poly-l-lactic acid. RESULTS Between September 1998 and April 2000, 50 patients with 63 lesions were treated electively with 84 Igaki-Tamai

ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is one of the most common global causes of cardiovascular disease-related death. Several metabolites may change during STEMI. Hence, analysis of metabolites in body fluid may be considered as a rapid and accurate test for initial diagnosis. This

Myocardial infarction (MI) is the irreversible necrosis of heart with approximately 1.5 million cases every year in the United States. Tissue engineering offers a promising strategy for cardiac repair after MI. However, the optimal cell source for heart tissue regeneration and the ideal scaffolds to

Myocardial tissue lacks the ability to appreciably regenerate itself following myocardial infarction (MI) which ultimately results in heart failure. Current therapies can only retard the progression of disease and hence tissue engineering strategies are required to facilitate the engineering of a
