TL;DR: P purification of an endothelial cell growth inhibitor from a guanidine extract of bovine epiphyseal cartilage suggests a regulatory role of ChM-I in vascular invasion during endochondral bone formation.

TL;DR: NO generated with O⨪2 nitrates tyrosine with a reactivity and efficacy similar to those of chemically synthesized OnOO−, indicating that ONOO− can be a significant source of tyrosines nitration in physiological and pathological events in vivo.

TL;DR: The new reference values faithfully reflect spirometric indices and provide an age-specific LLN for the 17-95-year age range, enabling improved diagnostic accuracy and more accurately reflect the transition in pulmonary function during young adulthood.
Abstract: Background Reference values for lung function tests should be periodically updated because of birth cohort effects and improved technology. This study updates the spirometric reference values, including vital capacity (VC), for Japanese adults and compares the new reference values with previous Japanese reference values. Methods Spirometric data from healthy non-smokers (20,341 individuals aged 17–95 years, 67% females) were collected from 12 centers across Japan, and reference equations were derived using the LMS method. This method incorporates modeling skewness (lambda: L ), mean (mu: M ), and coefficient of variation (sigma: S ), which are functions of sex, age, and height. In addition, the age-specific lower limits of normal (LLN) were calculated. Results Spirometric reference values for the 17–95-year age range and the age-dependent LLN for Japanese adults were derived. The new reference values for FEV 1 in males are smaller, while those for VC and FVC in middle age and elderly males and those for FEV 1 , VC, and FVC in females are larger than the previous values. The LLN of the FEV 1 /FVC for females is larger than previous values. The FVC is significantly smaller than the VC in the elderly. Conclusions The new reference values faithfully reflect spirometric indices and provide an age-specific LLN for the 17–95-year age range, enabling improved diagnostic accuracy. Compared with previous prediction equations, they more accurately reflect the transition in pulmonary function during young adulthood. In elderly subjects, the FVC reference values are not interchangeable with the VC values.

TL;DR: Remnant lipoprotein levels were independently associated with abnormal endothelium-dependent vasomotor function in large and resistance coronary arteries in humans, indicating that remnant lipoproteins may impair endothelial vasom motor function in human coronary arteries.
Abstract: Background—It remains undetermined whether triglyceride-rich lipoproteins are an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. Methods and Results—The correlation of responses of coronary arterial d...
