Full textFirstly, we aimed to establish an ex vivo model of high glucose (HG)-induced endothelial dysfunction in isolated arteries from male Wistar rat and porc. Then, our goal was to clarify the contribution of SGLT1/2 in endothelial cells under HG conditions to evaluate the protective effect of gliflozins on the endothelial function. However, HG did not affect the endothelium-dependent relaxation response in all tested types of artery. The lack of effect of HG might be related to certain factors, such as the incubation conditions, gender, age, strain, species of studied animals, and conditions of housing of animals. Secondly, we characterized human internal mammary arteries (IMA) of 58 patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting in the New Civil Hospital of Strasbourg. We found the association of diabetes and hypertension in the enhanced level of oxidative stress in human IMA. The expression levels of eNOS, SGLTs and the components of angiotensin system need to be further investigated

Full textInternal thoracic artery grafts has demonstrated capacity for remodeling due to interaction with the coronary artery bed. The goal was to analysis the influence of clinical and angiographic factors in this remodeling as defined as grafts caliber variation. Methods: In a period from 1983 to 1999, 356 patients underwent to coronary artery bypass surgery using the left internal thoracic artery anastomosed to interventricular anterior branch and the right internal thoracic artery to circumflex branches. Thirty two patients were submitted to postoperative coronary angiography which was further analysed by CASS II® software. The mean follow-up of this observational study was 42 months(6- 204 months). Angiographic variables analyzed was proximal and distal diameters of arterial grafts(dependent variable), coronary area, TIMI flow grade, proximal stenosis diameter, dominant distal flow and patent branches. Cardiovascular risk factors were included indeed. Results: The multiple regression model demonstrated R2adjusted=0.69 (p=0.0001) for right side and R2adjusted=0.46 (p=0.002) for left side. The grafts presented proximal and distal diameters of 2.67mm ±0.085 and 2.232mm ±0.085 from left side; 2.458mm ±0.088 and 2.010mm ±0.091 (mean±SE) from right side respectively (p > 0,05). None of the clinical variables had statistical significant correlation. The coronary area presented as a beta coefficient=0.42 (0.14-0.6/CI-95%) and proximal stenosis diameter of 0.55 (0.40-0.65/CI-95%) for right side remodeling. The coronary area shown a beta coefficient=0.54 (0.3- 0.68/CI-95%) for left side remodeling. Conclusions: The internal thoracic artery did not demonstrate difference in caliber about its laterality (left vs right). The proximal stenosis degree of the bypassed coronary artery demonstrated positive correlation with remodeling for the right side grafts. Bilateral grafts remodeling was only explained by positive correlation with the bypassed coronary area

Full textEnxertos compostos com artÃria torÃcica interna esquerda (ATIE) tem aumentado sua aplicabilidade na cirurgia de RevascularizaÃÃo MiocÃrdica (RM). A confirmaÃÃo de patÃncia do enxerto de ATIE à pedra fundamental na RM. O melhor parÃmetro de patÃncia calculado pelo ecoDopplercardiograma à a fraÃÃo diastÃlica (FD) ≥ 0,5. O objetivo geral deste estudo foi estabelecer parÃmetros ecoDopplercardiogrÃficos de patÃncia do enxerto composto de ATIE, quando revasculariza a artÃria interventricular anterior (AIA) e outro ramo do sistema coronariano esquerdo. O especÃfico foi definir a sensibilidade e a especificidade de trÃs variÃveis: RelaÃÃo da velocidade-pico na diÃstole sobre a velocidade-pico na sÃstole (VPD/VPS), integral da velocidade-tempo na diÃstole (VTID) e FD quanto à patÃncia do enxerto composto utilizando FD ≥ 0,5 como padrÃo de referÃncia. O estudo foi realizado segundo um desenho em duas fases, fase controle e fase estudo. Na fase controle, todos os pacientes tinham a patÃncia dos enxertos confirmadas por cineangiocoronariografia (CINE). Estes pacientes tinham registro das variÃveis VPD/VPS, VTID e FD. Foram entÃo estabelecidos pontos de cortes para essas variÃveis baseando-se nos cÃlculos de sensibilidade e especificidade atravÃs da curva ROC (ReceiverOperationCharacteristic) com o objetivo de diferenciar enxertos compostos de enxertos simples quando a ATIE somente revasculariza a AIA. Esses pontos de corte foram aplicados nos pacientes com enxerto composto da fase estudo. Foi construÃda uma tabela de contingÃncia 2x2 para o cÃlculo de sensibilidade e especificidade, tendo como indicador de patÃncia uma FD≥0,5. Na fase controle, observou-se diferenÃas estatisticamente significativas na anÃlise das trÃs variÃveis em diferenciar o enxerto simples do composto. Os parÃmetros de patÃncia do enxerto composto estabelecidos pela fase estudo foram VPD/VPS ≥ 0,71, VTId ≥ 0,09 e FD ≥ 0,58. A especificidade para todas essas variÃveis foi de 100%. A sensibilidade foi de 40% para VPD/VPS ≥ 0,71, 36,4% para VTId ≥ 0,09 e 68% para FD ≥ 0,58. Conclui-se que valores maiores ou iguais aos estabelecidos para cada variÃvel representam um provÃvel indicador de patÃncia do enxerto composto. Valores abaixo do estabelecido apresentam grande proporÃÃo de falsos negativos, nÃo sendo conclusivo quanto à patÃncia.
Composite grafts with left internal thoraic artery (LITA) has incresed its applicability in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CAGB). Confirmation of patency of the LITA graft is the cornerstone of Miocardial Revascularization. The best measure of patency calculated by Doppler echocardiogram (Doppler) is the diastolic fraction (DF) ≥ 0.5. The aim of this study was to establish Doppler echocardiographic parameters which could suggest the presence of a composite graft of LITA, when it revascularizes the anterior interventricular artery (AIA) and another branch of the left coronary artery system. The endpoint of this study was to define sensitivity and specificity considering three variables: ratio of peak velocity in diastole over the systolic peak velocity (DPV / SPV), the mean velocity-time integral in diastole (VTID) and FD of the composite graft patency using FD ≥ 0.5 as the reference standard. The study was conducted according to a design in two stages. It was defined a control group and study group. In the control group, all patients had graft patencies confirmed by coronary angiography (CINE) and the variables DPV / SPV,VTID and DF measured. So, we use this data to establish cutoff points for these variables , based on the calculation of sensitivity and specificity using the ROC curve (Receiverv Operation Characteristic) in order to differentiate composite from simple graft when ATIE only revascularizes the AIA. These cutoff points were applied in patients with composite graft group study. We built a 2x2 contingency table to calculate sensitivity and specificity, considering the indicator of patency a DF ≥ 0.5. In the control group, we observed statistically significant differences in the analysis of the three variables in differentiating simple from composite grafts. The parameters of composite graft patency established by the study group were DPV / SPV ≥ 0.71,VTID ≥ 0.09 and FD ≥ 0.58. The specificity for all these variables was 100%. The sensitivity was 40% for DPV / SPV ≥ 0.71, ≥ 36.4% for VTId≥ 0.09 and 68% for FD ≥ 0.58. We conclude that values greater than or equal to those established for each variable represents a likely indicator of graft patency compound. Values below the established are not conclusive to exclude composite grafts due to a large proportion off alse negatives.

Full textObjective: To analyze the patency of the pedicled, anteroaortic, right internal mammary artery (RIMA) anastomosed to the left anterior descending (LAD) and branches in coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), in comparison with the left internal mammary artery (LIMA). Methods: From December 2008 to December 2011, 100 patients were selected to undergo a prospective off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery and were randomly divided by computer into Group 1 (G-1) and Group 2 (G-2), so that the technique was known at the beginning of the surgery. In each group, with 50 patients, the patency of both right and left internal mammary arteries, which were used pedicled to the LAD, was comparatively studied through coronary computed tomography angiography. G-1 had 50 patients who received the LIMA to the LAD or LAD/diagonal (sequential) and had the CABG complemented with the free RIMA to circumflex branches and other arterial or venous grafts to the right coronary artery (RCA) and/or branches. G-2 had 50 patients who received the pedicled RIMA to the LAD or LAD/diagonal (sequential) and had the CABG complemented with the pedicled LIMA to circumflex branches and other arterial or venous grafts to the RCA and/or branches. Results: Both groups were similar in pre-operative clinical data, such as: diabetes mellitus, systemic arterial hypertension, obesity. Also, there was predominance of males in both groups, with 75,6% and 88% in Groups 1 and 2 respectively. Five patients were switched from G-1 to G-2 owing to atheromatous disease in the ascending aorta, and one of them was dropped for having to use composite graft. The average of distal anastomosis in G-1 was 3,48 (standard deviation (SD=0,72) and in G-2 was 3,20 (SD=0,76). Mediastinitis didn\'t occur in any patient. A patient from G-1 had osteomyelitis that required surgical intervention. Two patients from G-1 underwent reoperation because of bleeding. The 64-slice coronary computed tomography angiography was performed in the 6th postoperative month; 96 patients have been re-studied so far and all pedicled IMAs to the LAD were patent. In G-1 a free RIMA graft to the circumflex branches presented total occlusion, another two had a discreet stenosis and in one moderate at the proximal anastomosis and one more had a string signal at the distal portion. In G-2 two patients had total occlusion of the pedicled LIMA to circumflex artery branches, and another one presented moderate stenosis at its distal portion. In two patients the saphenous vein graft to the RCA branches were occluded. There were no deaths in any of the groups. Conclusion: The CABG surgery using the pedicled, anteroaortic RIMA to the LAD has a similar outcome to that of the LIMA used for this same coronary.

Full textObjective: The aim of this study was to compare the patency of left internal mammary artery (LIMA) robotically harvested for left anterior descendent (LAD) artery minimally invasive bypass with conventional LIMA to LAD off-pump bypass. Method: From 2007 to 2010, 36 patients were randomized to either LIMA robotically harvested to LAD artery minimally invasive bypass or standard LIMA to LAD off-pump bypass. Patients assigned to robotic group underwent robotic endoscopic harvesting of LIMA with the AESOP system followed by a small left thoracotomy in the 4th intercostal space for off-pump LAD bypass. Patients assigned to standard group underwent full median sternotomy, open LIMA harvesting followed by off-pump LAD bypass. Transit time flow measurement was used for intraoperative evaluation of LIMA to LAD patency. After a mean 24-month follow-up, Multislice Computed Tomography was used to evaluate LIMA to LAD midterm patency. Results: The mean LIMA harvesting time in robotic group was 50.1 ± 11.2 min vs. 22.7 ± 3.3 min in conventional group. There was no significant difference in intraoperative LIMA to LAD flow between robotic and conventional groups (46.17 ± 20.11 mL/min vs. 48.61 ± 23.42 mL/min, p=0.86). There were no significant differences in incidence of wound infection (0 vs. 2, p=0,48) and reoperation for bleeding (0 vs. 1, p=1.00) between robotic and conventional groups respectively. In robotic group, Multislice CT revealed patent LIMA graft in 100% patients vs. 94.1% patients in conventional group (p=1.00). There was no mortality in the study group. Conclusions: Minimally invasive LAD bypass using LIMA graft robotically harvested was safe and feasible. Early and mid-term LIMA patency was similar between both techniques

Full textINTRODUCTION: The use of combined well-vascularized flaps offers better results and rehabilitation for complex head and neck defects. Microsurgical reconstructions are the gold standard. However, there are patients with vessel-depleted necks from multiple recurrences and resections, failed reconstructions, neck dissections, infections, fistulas and radiotherapy, which impair adequate free tissue transfers. With better oncologic therapies, these patients have become more common and lack reconstructive options. OBJECT: To describe a combined ostemyocutaneous pedicled flap based on the internal mammary artery for complex head and neck reconstructions. METHOD: Osteomyocutaneous flaps with 6th and 7th ribs and the rectus abdominis muscle were dissected bilaterally on 35 cadavers, 26 male and 9 female. We studied the upper abdominal irrigation through isolation of the superficial superior epigastric artery perforators (SSEA) and the vascular pedicles to the 6th and 7th ribs, and the rectus abdominis muscle arising from the internal mammary, the musculophrenic and the intercostal arteries. The arc of rotation of the flap to the cephalic segment was tested with the pivot point on the lower margin of the first rib. RESULTS: We dissected 114 SSEA, 62 on the right side and 52 on the left. They had an homogeneous mean arterial diameter of 0,68 mm. Sixty perforators (52,7%) were on the group that ranged from 0,5 to 1,0 mm. After statistical analysis, there were no differences in relation to the side as for location and caliber of the perforators. Neither there was any relation of the arterial calibers to the location, age, weight and height of the cadavers. Sixty-two internal mammary artery pedicled osteomyocutaneous flaps, that carried the 6th and 7th ribs and the rectus abdominis muscle, were divided in 3 types depending on the vascular pattern to the 6th costal arch. Type 1, where the pedicle to the 6th rib branches from the musculophrenic artery, was the most frequent and dissected in 46 flaps (74,2%). Ten different vascular pedicles to the components of the flap were isolated and measured bilaterally. Only four of them were significantly longer in males and, two, were longer on the right side. The arterial diameters were also homogeneous in relation to the side and sex. The pedicle length to the osseous component of the flap varied from 18,5 to 21,6 cm, which allowed to reach mandible and maxilla in all dissections. The myocutaneous component of the rectus abdominis muscle reached the occipitum in all cases and carried along the deep inferior epigastric vessels for vascular anastomosis if needed. Five patients were operated in 2 years with adequate flap integration and recovery of the mandible contour and function. CONCLUSION: In all cadaveric dissections SSEA perforators were bilaterally present with a caliber bigger than 0,3 mm; internal mammary artery osteomyocutaneous pedicled flaps were constant and reached the cephalic segment. The operated patients recovered mandibular form and function. This flap can be an alternative for secondary head and neck reconstructions

Full textVascular aging is associated with a decrease in endothelial dilatory and antithrombotic functions. This typical endothelial dysfunction, however, is also present in younger patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). At the cellular level, aging of healthy vascular endothelial cells (EC) leads to senescence, a state of permanent growth arrest. Senescence is characterized by specific changes in cell morphology and gene expression, which reduce EC function and thus are proposed to be pro-atherogenic. Age-associated telomere shortening leads to replicative senescence of human endothelial cells, but senescence can also be induced prematurely by oxidative stress (SIPS). Our aim was to characterize senescence of EC isolated from atherosclerotic patients and look at the influence of risk factors for CVD on the onset of senescence. To confirm the contribution of each of the two mains pathways triggering senescence, we then looked at the impact on senescence of a chronic treatment with an antioxidant combined or not with an overexpression of the catalytic subunit of telomerase (hTERT), a reverse transcriptase involved in telomere elongation. We used EC isolated from internal mammary arteries discarded during coronary bypass graft surgery. Depending on the study, EC were infected or not with a lentivirus overexpressing hTERT, and cells were cultured in vitro until senescence, in the presence or the absence of the antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC). Different markers of the two main pathways of senescence (replicative ou SIS) were quantified. Senescence develops exponentially with time in culture and is associated with a decrease in cell viability and proliferation. In atherosclerotic patients, cellular aging displays an overlap between replicative and stress-induced senescence: short initial telomere length in vitro and a long exposure to risk factors for CVD in vivo predict the onset of a premature senescence. However, in smoking patients, premature senescence is exclusively induced by oxidative stress. Risk factors for CVD seem to accelerate the biological aging leading to EC dysfunction. When treated chronically with NAC, EC presenting initially lower levels of damage and a better endogenous antioxidant capacity develop a delayed senescence, probably due to a slight hTERT activation. When NAC is combined with an overexpression of hTERT, both pathways triggerring senescence are blocked and cellular immortalization is observed. In contrast, in EC presenting higher levels of damage undergone in vivo, NAC has no effect by itself on the onset of senescence, hTERT delays the onset of senescence in combination or not with NAC, but no cellular immortalization was observed in NAC-hTERT cells. In conclusion, our studies show that a chronic in vivo exposition to oxidative stress associated with risk factors for CVD accelerates the onset of vascular endothelial cells senescence that could potentially contribute to atherogenesis. EC having strong antioxidant defense capacity and DNA repair mechanisms may be rescued from replicative and stress-induced senescence unless EC have undergone an insurmountable cellular and molecular damage possibly due to uncontrolled free radical production associated with risk factors for CVD.

Full textCymbopogon citratus, Stapf, também conhecido como capim-limão, é uma planta que pertence à família Poaceac-Gramineae. É derivado da Índia, sendo atualmente cultivado em muitos países tropicais e subtropicais. É amplamente utilizado na medicina tradicional, devido aos potenciais efeitos antioxidantes, anti-inflamatórios, antimicrobianos, hipoglicemiantes e anti-hipertensores associados aos compostos bioativos da planta. Neste projeto de estudo pretendeu-se avaliar e comprovar a atividade vascular e antioxidante do extrato total de folhas secas de Cymbopogon citratus, bem como testar o efeito vascular das frações de flavonóides, taninos e ácidos fenólicos, utilizando a artéria mamária interna humana (HIMA) como modelo humano de reatividade vascular. O extrato total mostrou ter potencial como agente antioxidante, com um EC50 = 33,98±1,51 μg/ml. O extrato total (nas concentrações de 0,002 e 2 mg/mL) e as frações de ácidos fenólicos e taninos (na concentração de 1mg/mL) induziram um aumento significativo da contração máxima à noradrenalina, enquanto a concentração de 0,0002 mg/mL de extrato total e 0,2 mg/mL de fração de flavonóides inibiram essa contração. A curva de concentração-resposta da fração de taninos (0,002 a 0,2 mg/mL) apresentou atividade intrínseca de relaxamento na HIMA. A potencial atividade vasodilatadora e antioxidante demonstrado no presente trabalho suscita a necessidade de aprofundar conhecimentos e realizar novos trabalhos com extratos de diferentes partes da planta ou frações/compostos isolados. A validação e caracterização dos potenciais efeitos farmacológicos de Cymbopogon citratus, sustentam o uso desta planta para fins medicinais.
Cymbopogon citratus, Stapf, also known as lemongrass, is a plant that belongs to the Poaceac-Gramineae family. It is derived from India, being currently cultivated in many tropical and subtropical countries. Cymbopogon citratus is commonly used in folk medicine due to potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, hypoglycemic and antihypertensive effects from the bioactive compounds of the plant. The aim of the present study was to evaluate and verify the vascular activity of the crude extract of dry leaves of Cymbopogon citratus, as well as to test the vascular effects of the flavonoid, tannin and phenolic acid fractions using the human internal mammary artery (HIMA) as a human model of vascular reactivity. The crude extract showed potential as an antioxidant, with an EC50 = 33.98±1.51 μg/ml. The crude extract (at the concentrations of 0.002 and 2 mg/mL) and the phenolic acid and tannin fractions (at the concentration of 1 mg/mL) elicited a significant increase in the maximum contraction to noradrenaline. While that the concentration of 0.0002 mg/mL of the crude extract and 0.2 mg/mL of flavonoid fraction inhibited this contraction. The concentration-response curve of the tannin fraction (0.002 to 0.2 mg/mL) presented intrinsic relaxation activity in HIMA. The potential vasorelaxant and antioxidant activity demonstrated in the present study makes it necessary to deepen knowledge and to carry out new work with extracts from different parts of the plant or isolated fractions/compounds. The validation and characterization of the potential pharmacological effects of Cymbopogon citratus, will sustain the use of this plant for medicinal purposes.
