AB  - Hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) is the youngest member of the gasotransmitters family consisting
of nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). This signalling molecule is implicated in the
regulation of a wide range of processes, such as inflammation, pain, and tissue repair, and has an
important role in signalling processes affecting cardiovascular health, either as an independent
effector or as an enhancer of the NO system.
With the discovery of the H2 S role in the pathogenesis of many diseases, the development
of new pharmaceuticals that could be useful in conditions with disturbed levels of endogenous
H2 S began. Today, the development of H2 S-releasing drugs has reached the level of clinical
studies. Drugs such as SG1002, aimed at the treatment of heart failure, and ATB-346, aimed at
the treatment of arthritis, have been tested in Phase I/II clinical studies and have shown significant
therapeutic potential. Additionally, it has been shown that some already known drugs, such as
zofenopril, produce part of their beneficial effects by releasing H2 S.
Evidence from clinical studies presented in this paper encourages further clinical testing of
H2 S-based therapeutics and the possibility of their application in a wide range of diseases, such
as hypertension, diabetes and chronic kidney disease.
AB  - Vodonik-sulfid (H2S) je najmlađi član porodice gasovitih medijatora koju čine azot-oksid
(NO) i ugljen-monoksid (CO). Ovaj signalni molekul uključen je u regulaciju širokog spektra
procesa, kao što su zapaljenje, bol, reparacija tkiva, i ima važnu ulogu u signalnim procesima koji
utiču na zdravlje kardiovaskularnog sistema, bilo kao nezavisni efektor ili kao pojačivač NO
signalnog puta.
Sa otkrivanjem uloge H 2 S-a u patogenezi mnogih bolesti, započeo je razvoj novih
farmaceutika koji bi mogli biti od koristi u stanjima sa poremećenim nivoima endogenog H2 S-a.
Razvoj lekova koji oslobađaju H2S danas je dosegao nivo kliničkih studija. Lekovi poput SG1002,
za terapiju srčane insuficijencije, i ATB-346, za terapiju artritisa, ispitivani su u Fazi I/II kliničkih
studija i pokazali značajan terapijski potencijal. Dodatno, pokazano je da neki već poznati lekovi,
poput zofenoprila, deo svojih korisnih efekata ostvaruju upravo oslobađanjem H 2 S-a.
Dokazi iz kliničkih studija izneti u ovom radu ohrabruju dalja klinička testiranja terapeutika
baziranih na H2 S-u i mogućnost njihove primene u širokom spektru bolesti, poput hipertenzije,
dijabetesa i hronične bolesti bubrega.

AB  - Background: Anterior mitral leaflet prolapse repair is a highly effective procedure, but despite excellent operative results still has an inferior long‐term durability when compared to posterior leaflet repair. Methods: We analysed mitral repair durability in 74 consecutive patients operated for anterior leaflet prolapse between 2010 and 2021. Their pre‐ and postoperative clinical, echocardiographic data and repair durability as well, were compared with 74 randomly assigned posterior leaflet prolapse patients who underwent valve repair during the same period. Results: While groups were of similar age, patients with anterior leaflet prolapse had an inferior preoperative status in terms of functional reserve, atrial fibrillation, operative risk, ejection fraction and had more dilated left heart chambers as well. 1, 5, and 10‐year freedom from repair failure was 87.1 ± 4.6%, 79.8 ± 6.5% and 50.7 ± 12.5% in the anterior, and 98.5 ± 1.5% respectively in the posterior leaflet group. Atrial fibrilation (hazard ratio [HR] 5.365; 95%; confidence interval [CI] 1.093–26.324 p = .038) and left ventricle end‐systolic diameter (HR 1.160 95%; CI 1.037–1.299 p = .010) independently predicted anterior leaflet repair failure. Receiver Operating Curve analysis established left ventricle end‐systolic diameter ≤42 mm as a cut‐off value associated with improved anterior leaflet repair durability. Accordingly, 10‐year repair durability in a subset of patients, with preserved left ventricle end‐systolic diameter (≤42 mm) was 86.4 ± 7.8%. Conclusion: Better long‐term repair durability in patients with anterior mitral leaflet prolapse and preserved sinus rhytm and left‐ventricle diameters justifies early reconstructive approach.

AB  - Findings from epidemiological studies indicate that polyphenols, widespread in
human diet and with numerous biological activities, act cardioprotectively. Procyanidins are
subclass of polyphenols with high content in commonly consumed foods and beverages, such
as grapes, tea, chocolate, nuts and apples. Cardioprotective abilities of procyanidins, might, at
least partly, attribute to their vasodilator properties. Since exact mechanisms of procyanidin
B2-induced vasorelaxation are unknown, our study aimed to investigate relaxant effect of
procyanidin B2 on isolated human saphenous vein (HSV) and its underlying mechanisms.
Discarded segments of HSV were collected from patients undergoing bypass surgery and
studied in organ baths. Procyanidin B2 caused concentration-dependent relaxation of HSV
precontracted by phenylephrine. The relaxation was strongly affected by inhibitors of
NO/cGMP pathway, L-NAME, hydroxocobalamin and ODQ. Indomethacin, a cyclooxygenase
inhibitor, significantly reduced only relaxation produced by the highest concentrations of
procyanidin B2. Combination of apamin and TRAM-34, selective blockers of small- and
intermediate-conductance Ca 2+ -activated K+ (KCa ) channels (SKCa and IK Ca ), in the presence of
L-NAME and indomethacin, did not additionally affect procyanidin B2-induced relaxation.
Additionally, relaxation induced by procyanidin B2 was partially attenuated by 4-
aminopyridine, predominant blocker of voltage-gated K+ (KV) channels, significantly
inhibited by glibenclamide, selective ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels inhibitor, and almost
abolished by iberiotoxin, highly selective blocker of large-conductance KCa (BKCa ). Our results
revealed that procyanidin B2 acts as a potent vasodilator on isolated human venous graft.
Mechanism of this relaxation of HSV probably involves stimulation of NO production, as well
K+ channels opening, especially BK Ca , and partially KATP and KV

izazvao je koncentracijski-zavisnu relaksaciju HSV prekontrahovane fenilefrinom. Na
relaksaciju su snažno uticali inhibitori NO/cGMP puta, L-NAME, hidroksokobalamin i ODQ.
Indometacin, inhibitor ciklooksigenaze, značajno je umanjio samo relaksaciju izazivanu

blokatora Ca 2+ -zavisnih K+ (KCa ) kanala male i srednje provodljivosti (SKCa i IK Ca ), u prisustvu
L-NAME i indometacina, nije dodatno uticala na relaksaciju uzrokovanu procijanidinom B2.
Osim toga, procijanidinom B2 izazvana relaksacija bila je delimično umanjena 4-
aminopiridinom, dominantnim blokatorom voltažno-zavisnih K+ (KV) kanala, značajno
inhibirana glibenklamidom, selektivnim inhibitorom ATP-zavisnih K+ (KATP) kanala, i skoro
potpuno blokirana iberiotoksinom, selektivnim blokatorom K Ca velike provodljivosti (BK Ca).
Naši rezultati pokazuju da procijanidin B2 deluje kao moćni vazodilatator na izolovanom
humanom venskom graftu. Mehanizam ove relaksacije HSV verovatno uključuje stimulaciju
proizvodnje NO, kao i otvaranje K+ kanala, posebno BK Ca , i delimično KATP i KV

AB  - Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) represents the third and the youngest member of the gaseous transmitters family. The dominant effect of H2S on isolated vessels is vasodilation. As the mechanism of H2S-induced relaxation in human vessels remains unclear, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of H2S donor, sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS), on isolated human saphenous vein (HSV) and to determine the mechanism of action. Our results showed that NaHS (1 µM–3 mM) induced a concentration-dependent relaxation of endothelium-intact HSV rings pre-contracted by phenylephrine. Pre-treatment with L-NAME, ODQ and KT5823 significantly inhibited NaHS-induced relaxation, while indomethacin induced partial inhibition. Among K+ channel blockers, the combination of apamin and TRAM-34 significantly affected the relaxation produced by NaHS, while iberiotoxin and glibenclamide only reduced maximal relaxation of HSV. NaHS partially relaxed endothelium-intact rings pre-contracted by high K+, as well as phenylephrine-contracted rings in the presence of nifedipine. Additionally, the incubation of HSV rings with NaHS increased NO production. These results demonstrate that NaHS produces the concentration- and endothelium-dependent relaxation of isolated HSV. Vasorelaxation to NaHS probably involves activation of NO/cGMP/PKG pathway and partially prostacyclin. In addition, different K+ channels subtypes, especially SKCa and IKCa, as well as BKCa and KATP channels in high concentrations of NaHS, probably participate in the NaHS-induced vasorelaxation.

The present study was undertaken to assess the vasorelaxant effect of procyanidin B2 on isolated human saphenous vein (HSV) and its underlying mechanisms. Procyanidin B2 relaxed phenylephrine-induced contraction of HSV rings in concentration-dependent manner. The relaxation was dependent on the presence of endothelium and was strongly affected by l-NAME, hydroxocobalamin or ODQ, the inhibitors of NO/cGMP pathway.

AB  - Objectives: We recently reported the involvement of ER stress-mediated BKCa channel inhibition in homocysteine-induced coronary dilator dysfunction. In another study, we demonstrated that tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), an active ingredient of the Chinese herb Chuanxiong, possesses potent anti-ER stress capacity. The present study investigated whether TMP protects BKCa channels from homocysteine-induced inhibition and whether suppression of ER stress is a mechanism contributing to the protection. Furthermore, we explored the signaling transduction involved in TMP-conferred protection on BKCa channels. Methods: BKCa channel-mediated relaxation was studied in porcine small coronary arteries. Expressions of BKCa channel subunits, ER stress molecules, and E3 ubiquitin ligases, as well as BKCa ubiquitination were determined in porcine coronary arterial smooth muscle cells (PCASMCs). Whole-cell BKCa currents were recorded. Results: Exposure of PCASMCs to homocysteine or the chemical ER stressor tunicamycin increased the expression of ER stress molecules, which was significantly inhibited by TMP. Suppression of ER stress by TMP preserved the BKCa beta 1 protein level and restored the BKCa current in PCASMCs, concomitant with an improved BKCa mediated dilatation in coronary arteries. TMP attenuated homocysteine-induced BKCa beta 1 protein ubiquitination, in which inhibition of ER stress-mediated FoxO3a activation and FoxO3a-dependent atrogin-1 and Murf-1 was involved. Conclusions: Reversal of BKCa channel inhibition via suppressing ER stress-mediated loss of beta 1 subunits contributes to the protective effect of TMP against homocysteine on coronary dilator function. Inhibition of FoxO3a-dependent ubiquitin ligases is involved in TMP-conferred normalization of BKCa beta 1 protein level. These results provide new mechanistic insights into the cardiovascular benefits of TMP.

AB  - Introduction. Mitral valve calcifications are frequent finding in Barlow disease. This is making mitral repair surgery even more demanding in already complex valve pathology. Case report. A fifty-five-year-old Barlow disease patient underwent a mitral repair surgery due to posterior leaflet prolapse at P2 level and extensive posterior leaflet and annular calcifications as well. The prolapsed scallop was resected, while P1 and P3 scallops were detached from the annulus. After complete posterior annulus decalcification, so formed the large atrio-ventricular defect was reconstructed with the autologous pericardial patch and double suture line technique. The P1 and P3 segments were reattached there by the sliding technique and sutured with no strain. Annuloplasty was performed with a saddle rigid ring No 36. The patient was discharged nine days after the surgery with just a trace of mitral regurgitation. Conclusion. Annular decalcification and reconstruction in the patients with calcified Barlow mitral disease is necessary for safe and durable mitral valve surgical repair.

AB  - In this study, we aimed to investigate relaxant effect of flavanol (-)-epicatechin on the isolated human saphenous vein (HSV), as a part of its cardioprotective action, and to define the mechanisms underlying this vasorelaxation. (-)-Epicatechin induced a concentration-dependent relaxation of HSV pre-contracted by phenylephrine. Among K+ channel blockers, 4-aminopyridine, margatoxin, and iberiotoxin significantly inhibited relaxation of HSV, while glibenclamide considerably reduced effects of the high concentrations of (-)-epicatechin. Additionally, (-)-epicatechin relaxed contraction induced by 80 mM K+, whereas in the presence of nifedipine produced partial relaxation of HSV rings pre-contracted by phenylephrine. In Ca2+-free solution, (-)-epicatechin relaxed contraction induced by phenylephrine, but had no effect on contraction induced by caffeine. A sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor, thapsigargin, significantly reduced relaxation of HSV produced by (-)-epicatechin. These results demonstrate that (-)-epicatechin produces endothelium-independent relaxation of isolated HSV rings. Vasorelaxation to (-)-epicatechin probably involves activation of 4-aminopyridine- and margatoxin-sensitive K-V channels, BKCa channels, and at least partly, K-ATP channels. In addition, not only the inhibition of extracellular Ca2+ influx, but regulation of the intracellular Ca2+ release, via inositol-trisphosphate receptors and reuptake into sarcoplasmic reticulum, via stimulation of Ca2+-ATPase, as well, most likely participate in (-)-epicatechin-induced relaxation of HSV.

AB  - Dyslipidemia is the leading risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis and associated consequences, such as coronary heart disease, ischemic cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular disease. These diseases are the major cause of mortality in the world and in Europe as well, where they are responsible for around 45% of all deaths. Treatment of dyslipidemia includes the use of statins, ezetimibe, fibrates, niacin, bile acids sequestrants and omega-3 fatty acids. Although statins play the major role in dyslipidemia treatment by reducing the risk of cardiovascular (CV) events by 30%, there is a need for additional new drugs that reduce the residual risk even more. PCSK9 inhibitors, apolipoprotein B (apoB) synthesis inhibitors, MTP inhibitors and CETP inhibitors are already approved for the specific indications, or are in the advanced stages of clinical investigation. Two PCSK9 inhibitors, alirocumab and evolocumab are approved for use in combination with statins for the treatment of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), but also in patients with clinical atherosclerotic CV diseases who require additional low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level reduction. In addition, evolocumab is approved for use in patients with homozygous FH. Mipomersen, apoB synthesis inhibitor, lomitapide, and oral MTP inhibitor are currently approved in the treatment of patients with homozygous FH as an adjunct to the maximum tolerated doses of statins and other lipid-lowering drugs. Although the new lipid-lowering agents produce significant LDL-C level reduction, more clinical studies are necessary to confirm their efficacy and safety in dyslipidemia treatment.
AB  - Dislipidemije su vodeći faktor rizika za razvoj ateroskleroze i njenih posledica, kao što su koronarna bolest srca, ishemična cerebrovaskularna i periferna vaskularna bolest. Ove bolesti su glavni uzrok mortaliteta, kako u svetu tako i u Evropi, gde su odgovorne za 45% ukupne smrtnosti. Terapija dislipidemija uključuje primenu: statina, ezetimiba, fibrata, niacina, smola koje vezuju žučne kiseline i omega-3 masnih kiselina. Od pomenutih lekova, vodeću ulogu u terapiji dislipidemija imaju statini. Treba istaći da uprkos primeni statina, koji redukuju rizik od pojave kardiovaskularnih (KV) događaja za oko 30%, još uvek ostaje tzv. rezidualni rizik za nastanak KV događaja, što ukazuje da su potrebni novi lekovi koji će dalje redukovati rezidualni rizik. Novi lekovi u terapiji dislipidemija uključuju PCSK9 inhibitore, inhibitore sinteze apolipoproteina B (apoB), MTP inhibitore i CETP inhibitore, koji su ili već odobreni za primenu u određenim indikacijama, ili se nalaze u odmaklim fazama kliničkog ispitivanja. Alirokumab i evolokumab, dva PCSK9 inhibitora, odobrena su za primenu, u kombinaciji sa statinima, u terapiji heterozigotne familijarne hiperholesterolemije (FH), kao i kod bolesnika sa kliničkim aterosklerotičnim KV bolestima koji zahtevaju dodatnu redukciju nivoa lipoproteina male gustine (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C). Pored toga, evolokumab je odobren za primenu kod bolesnika sa homozigotnom FH. Mipomersen, inhibitor sinteze apoB, i lomitapid, oralni MTP inhibitor, su, odobreni za primenu samo kod bolesnika sa homozigotnom FH kao dodatak maksimalnoj tolerišućoj dozi statina i drugih hipolipemika. Iako novi hipolipemici značajno redukuju nivo LDL-C, neophodno je sprovesti studije, duže i sa većim brojem ispitanika, koje će potvrditi njihovu efikasnost i bezbednost i time omogućiti njihovu širu primenu u terapiji dislipidemija.

AB  - The aim of the present study was to investigate and characterize vasorelaxant effect of procyanidin B2 on human internal mammary artery (HIMA) as one of the mechanisms of its protective effect against vascular risk. Procyanidin B2 induced strong concentration-dependent relaxation of HIMA rings pre-contracted by phenylephrine. Pretreatment with L-NAME, a NO synthase inhibitor, hydroxocobalamin, a NO scavenger, and ODQ, an inhibitor of soluble guanylate cyclase, significantly inhibited procyanidin B2-induced relaxation of HIMA, while indomethacin, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor, considerably reduced effects of low concentrations. Among K+ channel blockers, iberiotoxin, a selective blocker of large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (BKCa), abolished procyanidin B2-induced relaxation, glibenclamide, a selective ATP-sensitive K+(K-ATP) channels blocker, induced partial inhibition, while 4-aminopyridine, a blocker of voltage-gated K+(K-V) channels, and TRAM-34, an inhibitor of intermediate-conductance Ca2+-activated K+(IKCa) channels, slightly reduced maximal relaxation of HIMA. Further, procyanidin B2 relaxed contraction induced by phenylephrine in Ca2+-free Krebs solution, but had no effect on contraction induced by caffeine. Finally, thapsigargin, a sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor, significantly reduced relaxation of HIMA produced by procyanidin B2. These results demonstrate that procyanidin B2 produces endothelium-dependent relaxation of HIMA pre-contracted by phenylephrine. This effect is primarily the result of an increased NO synthesis and secretion by endothelial cells and partially of prostacyclin, although it involves activation of BKCa and K-ATP, as well as K-V and IKCa channels in high concentrations of procyanidin B2.

AB  - Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an idiopathic chronic disease. According to the latest data, about 2.5 million people in Europe, as well about 8 thousands in Serbia, have IBD. The main symptoms of this disease are diarrhoea, abdominal pain, bleeding, anaemia and weight loss. The two major form of IBD are ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. There is no drug that would lead to complete healing of IBC. The goals of the therapy include introducing remission, maintaining remission, minimizing side effects of drugs and improving the quality of life. The IBC therapy includes the use of drugs such as: aminosalicylates, glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, and biologics. As an initial therapy in the treatment of ulcerative colitis, aminosalicylates are the most commonly used, and maintenance therapy is recommended for all patients. Drugs of the first choice for maintenance of remission are also aminosalicylates. For the treatment of Crohn's disease, first-line drugs are glucocorticoids. Maintenance therapy is not mandatory for all patients with Crohn's disease. If maintenance therapy is necessary, immunosuppressors (azathioprine or methotrexate), as well as biologic agents (anti-TNF drugs or anti-integrin medications), are used.

Terapija IBC uključuje primenu lekova kao što su: aminosalicilati, glukokortikoidi, imunosupresori, kao i biološki lekovi. Kao inicijalna terapija u lečenju ulceroznog kolitisa najčešće se koriste aminosalicilati, a terapija održavanja remisije se preporučuje svim pacijentima. Lekovi prvog izbora u održavanju remisije su, takođe, aminosalicilati. Za terapiju Kronove bolesti lekovi prvog izbora su glukokortikoidi. Terapija održavanja remisije nije obavezna za sve pacijente sa Kronovom bolešću. Ukoliko je terapija održavanja neophodna, koriste se imunosupresori (azatioprin ili metotreksat), kao i biološki lekovi (anti-TNF lekovi ili anti-integrinski lekovi).

Lekovi prvog izbora u održavanju remisije su, takođe, aminosalicilati. Za terapiju Kronove bolesti lekovi prvog izbora su glukokortikoidi. Terapija održavanja remisije nije obavezna za sve pacijente sa Kronovom bolešću. Ukoliko je terapija održavanja neophodna, koriste se imunosupresori (azatioprin ili metotreksat), kao i biološki lekovi (anti-TNF lekovi ili anti-integrinski lekovi).",

AB  - More than 50 years ago, vitamin K antagonists were the only available oral anticoagulants. Since their application involves a number of limitations, it was necessary to develop new oral anticoagulant drugs and introduce them into clinical practice. These drugs have many advantages over vitamin K antagonists, including rapid onset/offset, a small number of interactions with other drugs and food, simplified dosing and predictable pharmacokinetics, eliminating the need for daily laboratory monitoring. In addition, new oral anticoagulant drugs act selectively on a single coagulation factor. Currently, the following drugs are approved for use: direct thrombin inhibitor, dabigatran etexilate, direct factor Xa inhibitor, rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban. Dabigatran etexilate and apixaban are approved for the primary prevention of venous thromboembolism in adult patients undergoing elective surgery of total hip or knee replacement, while in addition to these anticoagulants edoxaban is approved for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in adult patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. For the treatment and prevention of recurrent deep vein thrombosis dabigatran etexilate, rivaroxaban and edoxaban are approved. In addition, rivaroxaban is approved for the secondary prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
AB  - Više od 50 godina, antagonisti vitamina K bili su jedini dostupni oralni antikoagulantni lekovi. S obzirom na to da njihova primena podrazumeva brojna ograničenja, bilo je neophodno razviti i uvesti u kliničku praksu nove oralne antikoagulantne lekove. Ovi lekovi imaju brojne prednosti u poređenju s antagonistima vitamina K, koje uključuju brz početak i prestanak dejstva, mali broj interakcija s drugim lekovima i hranom, pojednostavljen način doziranja, kao i predvidivu farmakokinetiku, čime se eliminiše potreba za svakodnevnim laboratorijskim praćenjem. Osim toga, novi oralni antikoagulantni lekovi deluju selektivno samo na jedan faktor koagulacije. Trenutno su odobreni za upotrebu direktni inhibitor trombina, dabigatran eteksilat, kao i direktni inhibitori faktora Xa, rivaroksaban, edoksaban i apiksaban. Dabigatran eteksilat i apiksaban odobreni su za primarnu prevenciju venske tromboembolije kod odraslih pacijenata koji se podvrgavaju elektivnom hirurškom zahvatu totalne zamene kuka ili kolena, dok je za prevenciju moždanog udara i sistemske embolije kod odraslih pacijenata sa nevalvularnom atrijalnom fibrilacijom, pored navedenih antikoagulantnih lekova, odobren i edoksaban. Za terapiju i prevenciju rekurentne duboke venske tromboze odobreni su dabigatran eteksilat, rivaroksaban i edoksaban. Osim toga, rivaroksaban je odobren i za sekundarnu prevenciju aterotrombotičkih događaja nakon akutnog koronarnog sindroma.

AB  - Background. Graft spasm remains challenging in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Calcium antagonists are commonly used in patients with coronary artery disease. This study investigated the inhibitory effect of third-generation dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist benidipine on the vasoconstriction induced by various vasoconstrictors in the human internalmammary artery(IMA). Methods. Isolated human IMA rings (N = 65, taken from 37 patients undergoing CABG) were studied in a myograph in 2 ways: the relaxing effect of benidipine on vasoconstrictor-induced precontraction by KCl and U46619 and the depressing effect of benidipine at plasma concentrations on the contraction. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the change of the protein related to the L-type calcium channel. Results. Benidipine caused more relaxation in KCl-contracted (86.7% +/- 3.3%; n = 12) than in U46619-contracted (63.8% +/- 5.3%; n = 8; p  lt  0.001) IMA rings. Pretreatment of IMA with plasma concentrations of benidipine (-6.92 log M) significantly depressed subsequent contraction by KCl (from 17.3 +/- 2.7 mN to 7.4 +/- 1.2 mN; n = 6; p  lt  0.05) but did not significantly affect the contraction caused by U46619. Benidipine also caused a decrease of caveolin (CaV) 1.2 protein content (0.55 +/- 0.02 versus 0.63 +/- 0.02 mg/mL; p  lt  0.05). Conclusions. We conclude that in human IMA, the third-generation dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist benidipine has a potent inhibitory effect on the vasoconstriction mediated by a variety of vasoconstrictors. Use of benidipine in patients undergoing CABG may provide vasorelaxant or antispastic effects in the grafts.

AB  - As we previously demonstrated the role of different K+ channels in the action of nicorandil on human saphenous vein (HSV) and human internal mammary artery (HIMA), this study aimed to analyse the contribution of the cGMP pathway in nicorandil-induced vasorelaxation and to determine the involvement of cGMP in the K+ channel-activating effect of nicorandil. An inhibitor of soluble guanylate cyclase (GC), ODQ, significantly inhibited nicorandil-induced relaxation, while ODQ plus glibenclamide, a selective ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel inhibitor, produced a further inhibition of both vessels. In HSV, ODQ in combination with 4-aminopyridine, a blocker of voltage-gated K+ (K-V) channels, did not modify the concentration-response to nicorandil compared with ODQ, whereas in HIMA, ODQ plus iberiotoxin, a selective blocker of large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channels, produced greater inhibition than ODQ alone. We showed that the cGMP pathway plays a significant role in the vasorelaxant effect of nicorandil on HSV and HIMA. It seems that nicorandil directly opens KATP channels in both vessels and BKCa channels in HIMA, although it is possible that stimulation of GC contributes to KATP channels activation in HIMA. Contrary, the activation of K-V channels in HSV is probably due to GC activation and increased levels of cGMP.

AB  - Evidences have suggested that flavanol compound (-)-epicatechin is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases. One of the mechanisms of its cardioprotective effect is vasodilation. However, the exact mechanisms by which (-)-epicatechin causes vasodilation are not yet clearly defined. The aims of the present study were to investigate relaxant effect of flavanol (-)-epicatechin on the isolated human internal mammary artery (HIMA) and to determine the mechanisms underlying its vasorelaxation. Our results showed that (-)-epicatechin induced a concentration-dependent relaxation of RNA rings pre-contracted by phenylephrine. Among the K+ channel blockers, 4-aminopyricline (4-AP) and margatoxin, blockers of voltage gated K+ (K-V) channels, and glibenclamide, a selective ATP sensitive K+ (K-ATP,) channels blocker, partly inhibited the (-)-epicatechin-induced relaxation of HIMA, while iberiotoxin, a most selective blocker of large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (BKCa), almost completely inhibited the relaxation. In rings pre-contracted by 80 mM K+, (-)-epicatechin induced partial relaxation of HIMA, whereas in Ca2+-free medium, (-)-epicatechin completely relaxed HIMA rings pre-contracted by phenylephrine and caffeine. Finally, thapsigargin, a sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor, slightly antagonized (-)-epicatechin-induced relaxation of HIMA pre-contracted by phenylephrine. These results suggest that (-)-epicatechin induces strong endothelium independent relaxation of HIMA pre-contracted by phenylephrine whilst 4-AP- and rnargatoxin-sensitive K-V channels, as well as BKCa and K-ATP channels, located in vascular smooth muscle, mediate this relaxation. In addition, it seems that (-)-epicatechin could inhibit influx of extracellular Ca2+, interfere with intracellular Ca2+ release and re uptake by the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

abstract = "Evidences have suggested that flavanol compound (-)-epicatechin is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases. One of the mechanisms of its cardioprotective effect is vasodilation. However, the exact mechanisms by which (-)-epicatechin causes vasodilation are not yet clearly defined. The aims of the present study were to investigate relaxant effect of flavanol (-)-epicatechin on the isolated human internal mammary artery (HIMA) and to determine the mechanisms underlying its vasorelaxation. Our results showed that (-)-epicatechin induced a concentration-dependent relaxation of RNA rings pre-contracted by phenylephrine. Among the K+ channel blockers, 4-aminopyricline (4-AP) and margatoxin, blockers of voltage gated K+ (K-V) channels, and glibenclamide, a selective ATP sensitive K+ (K-ATP,) channels blocker, partly inhibited the (-)-epicatechin-induced relaxation of HIMA, while iberiotoxin, a most selective blocker of large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (BKCa), almost completely inhibited the relaxation. In rings pre-contracted by 80 mM K+, (-)-epicatechin induced partial relaxation of HIMA, whereas in Ca2+-free medium, (-)-epicatechin completely relaxed HIMA rings pre-contracted by phenylephrine and caffeine. Finally, thapsigargin, a sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor, slightly antagonized (-)-epicatechin-induced relaxation of HIMA pre-contracted by phenylephrine. These results suggest that (-)-epicatechin induces strong endothelium independent relaxation of HIMA pre-contracted by phenylephrine whilst 4-AP- and rnargatoxin-sensitive K-V channels, as well as BKCa and K-ATP channels, located in vascular smooth muscle, mediate this relaxation. In addition, it seems that (-)-epicatechin could inhibit influx of extracellular Ca2+, interfere with intracellular Ca2+ release and re uptake by the sarcoplasmic reticulum.",

AB  - Introduction: In this report, we aim to present a rare case of isolated internal iliac artery aneurysm with associated left ureteric obstruction and consequent hydronephrosis. Case report: A 66-year-old male patient was admitted for occasional pain in the lower back that appeared one month earlier. CT arteriography revealed isolated internal iliac artery (diameter 99 mm) with ureteral obstruction, hydroureter and left kidney hydronephrosis occurrence. Aneurysm was resected, after six months the patient was doing well. Bearing in mind that 77% of the patients with isolated internal iliac artery have symptoms caused by aneurysmal compression on adjacent organs, we wanted to highlight that despite the amazing expansion of endovascular procedures in the last decades, its therapeutic effect in isolated internal iliac artery's treatment is to a great extent limited since compression symptoms cannot be solved. Conclusion: Open surgery remains the gold standard for isolated internal iliac artery's treatment considering significant limitations of endovascular procedures due to the inability to eliminate problems caused by compression.

When this occurs, several options are available to restore blood flow: catheter-directed thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy or open surgery. Fundamental reasons to apply percutaneous interventions are avoiding open procedures in high risk patients, and avoiding difficult dissection through scar tissue. Case Outline A 67-year-old male was admitted at our Institution for critical limb ischemia. After performed angiography the diagnosis of occluded femoropopliteal graft was established. Occlusion was resolved by catheter-directed thrombolysis with plasmin. Culprit lesions were treated by angioplasty.

AB  - After an acute coronary syndrome, patients remain at risk of recurrent ischemic events despite the use of antiplatelet therapy. In order to reduce the risk of recurrent ischemia in the treatment of patients with acute coronary syndromes, standard oral anticoagulants, such as vitamin K antagonists, have been introduced. These drugs have an important role in preventing stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation. Vitamin K antagonists (e.g., warfarin) reduce the risk of recurrent cardio­vascular events and stroke but increase the risk of bleeding. In addition, the traditional anticoagulants have other significant drawbacks. Therefore, modulation of the coagulation process represents an important target in the development of new oral anticoagulants today. The new oral anticoagulants selectively target thrombin (dabigatran etexilate) or factor Xa (rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban). Unlike traditional anticoagulants, these drugs have rapid onset of action and a relatively wide therapeutic range, do not require routine prothrombin time (PT) monitoring and have low potential for food and drug interaction. Dabigatran etexilate and rivaroxaban have been already approved in many countries for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation. The third phase of clinical studies in which rivaroxaban was investigated in patients with acute coronary syndrome has been successfully completed. .

U cilju smanjenja rizika od rekurentne ishemije, u terapiju visokorizičnih bolesnika sa akutnim koronarnim sindromom uvode se standardni oralni antikoagulansi, kao što su antagonisti vitamina K. Ovi lekovi imaju važnu ulogu u prevenciji moždanog udara i sistemskog embolizma kod bolesnika sa atrijalnom fibrilacijom. Antagonisti vitamina K (varfarin) smanjuju rizik od nastanka ponovnih kardiovaskularnih događaja i moždanog udara, ali povećavaju rizik od krvarenja. Pored toga, antagonisti vitamina K poseduju i druge, značajne nedostatke, tako da modulacija procesa koagulacije danas predstavlja značajnu metu za razvoj novih oralnih antikoagulanasa. Novi oralni antikoagulansi deluju selektivno na trombin (dabigatran eteksilat) ili na faktor koagulacije Xa (rivaroksaban, apiksaban, edoksaban). Za razliku od standardnih antikoagulanasa, imaju brz početak dejstva i relativno veliku terapijsku širinu, ne zahtevaju laboratorijsku kontrolu protrombinskog vremena (PT) i retko stupaju u interakcije sa hranom i lekovima.
