Comparison of gene delivery techniques for therapeutic angiogenesis ultrasound-mediated destruction of carrier microbubbles versus direct intramuscular injection.

25 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to compare the efficacy of angiogenic gene delivery by ultrasound-mediated (UM) destruction of intravenous carrier microbubbles to direct intramuscular (IM) injections. BACKGROUND: Current trials of gene therapy ... Read more...

The effect of dobutamine on blood flow of free tissue transfer flaps during head and neck reconstructive surgery*.

29 Sep 2009 SUMMARY: In view of the controversy over the use of inotropes in free tissue transfer surgery, we assessed the effect of different intra-operative dobutamine infusion rates on blood flow in the anastomosed recipient artery. Twenty patients ... Read more...

Impaired function of coronary BK(Ca) channels in metabolic syndrome.

9 Sep 2009 The role of large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK(Ca)) channels in regulation of coronary microvascular function is widely appreciated, but molecular and functional changes underlying the deleterious influence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) have ... Read more...
