... on the construction of a biological blood vessel, significant research and technological advances have led to the generation of clinically relevant large and small diameter tissue engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs). However, developing a biocompatible blood-contacting surface is still a major challenge. Researchers...

... and specificity to the classic biomarker troponin I for diagnosis of AMI. Increased cardiac-specific E3 ligase Rnf207 in plasma may be a novel and sensitive biomarkers for AMI in humans. acute myocardial infarction blood biomarkers E3 ubiquitin ligases Rnf207 • Because of the delayed release...

...-pyruvate transaminase) are two enzymes that are able to metabolize blood glutamate facilitating the lowering of extracellular levels of brain glutamate. Our aim was to study the association between blood levels of both enzymes and stroke outcome in patients with acute ischaemic stroke. We prospectively...

...Gregory D. Sloop; David W. Garber 1. Increased blood or plasma viscosity has been observed in almost all conditions associated with accelerated atherosclerosis. Cognizant of the enlarging body of evidence implicating increased viscosity in atherogenesis, we hypothesize that the effects of low...

...A. J. A. Al-Modhefer; M. W. B. Bradbury; T. J. B. Simons 1. The binding of lead to human blood serum, and components of serum, was studied by titration with the addition of Pb(NO 3 ) 2 solution, monitoring the free Pb 2+ concentration with a Pb 2+ electrode, and by equilibrium dialysis. 2. In fresh...

...K. Peter Öhman; Bengt E. Karlberg 1. This study aims to further elucidate the role of the tissue and plasma kallikrein-kinin systems in blood pressure, electrolyte and volume homoeostasis. Components thereof and of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system were measured in conjunction with frusemide...
