Possible mechanisms involved in the discrepancy of hepatic and aortic endothelial nitric oxide synthases during the development of cirrhosis in rats.

25 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND/AIM: In cirrhosis, systemic nitric oxide (NO) overproduction and hepatic NO hypoproduction lead to arterial vasodilatation and portal hypertension. The mechanisms involved in these alterations in endothelial NO synthase (eNOS)-derived NO ... Read more...

Combined surgical treatment in aortic type A dissection.

7 Nov 2009 Acute Stanford type A aortic dissection is a fatal event that, for its high mortality when left untreated, requires urgent surgical intervention. The established treatment includes repair of the ascending aorta and various portions of the aortic ... Read more...

Arterial-venous segregation by selective cell sprouting: an alternative mode of blood vessel formation.

7 Oct 2009 Blood vessels form de novo (vasculogenesis) or upon sprouting of capillaries from preexisting vessels (angiogenesis). With high-resolution imaging of zebrafish vascular development, we uncovered a third mode of blood vessel formation whereby the ... Read more...
