To assess visual interpretation of the coronary arteriogram as a means of predicting the
physiologic effects of coronary obstructions in human beings, we compared caliper …

Aconitase is a member of a family of iron-sulfur-containing (de)hydratases whose activities
are modulated in bacteria by superoxide radical (O)-mediated inactivation and iron-…

The effect of hyperoxia on activity of the superoxide-sensitive citric acid cycle enzyme aconitase
was measured in cultured human epithelial-like A549 cells and in rat lungs. Rapid and …

PULMONARY hemangiomatosis is a rare, fatal disorder characterized by diffuse microvascular
proliferation within the lung. The disease most often affects children and young adults …

An ideal coronary vasodilator for studying coronary flow reserve in humans would rapidly
produce maximal coronary vasodilation, be short acting to permit repeated measurements, and …

Humans can come into contact with chlorine gas during short-term, high-level exposures
due to traffic or rail accidents, spills, or other disasters. By contrast, workplace and public (…

Studies in animals with normal coronary arteries have shown that coronary flow reserve can
be predicted by angiographic measurements of arterial stenosis. Studies in man, however, …

To determine the effects of coronary angioplasty on coronary flow reserve (CFR), we
studied 32 patients before and immediately after single-vessel coronary angioplasty and 31 …

Exposure to hypoxia (PO 2 = 9 ± 1 torr) increased human peripheral blood mononuclear
cell production and secretion of interleukin-1 (IL-1)α, IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) (…

To define the long-term variability of serial coronary flow reserve (CFR) measurements in
humans and to evaluate the influence of changes in heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and left …
