TL;DR: In patients with less complex disease (low SYNTAX scores for 3VD or low/intermediate terciles for LM patients), PCI is an acceptable revascularization, although longer follow-up is needed to evaluate these two revascularized strategies.
Abstract: Aims Long-term randomized comparisons of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in left main coronary (LM) disease and/or three-vessel disease (3VD) patients have been limited. This analysis compares 3-year outcomes in LM and/or 3VD patients treated with CABG or PCI with TAXUS Express stents.
Methods and results SYNTAX is an 85-centre randomized clinical trial ( n = 1800). Prospectively screened, consecutive LM and/or 3VD patients were randomized if amenable to equivalent revascularization using either technique; if not, they were entered into a registry. Patients in the randomized cohort will continue to be followed for 5 years. At 3 years, major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events [MACCE: death, stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), and repeat revascularization; CABG 20.2% vs. PCI 28.0%, P < 0.001], repeat revascularization (10.7 vs. 19.7%, P < 0.001), and MI (3.6 vs. 7.1%, P = 0.002) were elevated in the PCI arm. Rates of the composite safety endpoint (death/stroke/MI 12.0 vs. 14.1%, P = 0.21) and stroke alone (3.4 vs. 2.0%, P = 0.07) were not significantly different between treatment groups. Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event rates were not significantly different between arms in the LM subgroup (22.3 vs. 26.8%, P = 0.20) but were higher with PCI in the 3VD subgroup (18.8 vs. 28.8%, P < 0.001).
Conclusions At 3 years, MACCE was significantly higher in PCI- compared with CABG-treated patients. In patients with less complex disease (low SYNTAX scores for 3VD or low/intermediate terciles for LM patients), PCI is an acceptable revascularization, although longer follow-up is needed to evaluate these two revascularization strategies.

TL;DR: A simple and selective assay for monomeric and filamentous actin is presented, based on the inhibition of DNAase I by actin, which is rapid enough to detect changes in the polymerization state of actin in vitro over time intervals as short as 3 min.

01 Jan 1997TL;DR: The Perceived Restorativeness Scale (PRS) as discussed by the authors was developed to measure psychological factors thought to work in restorative experiences, which can help renew psychological resources depleted in environments that do not fully support intended functions.
Abstract: Restorative environments help renew psychological resources depleted in environments that do not fully support intended functions The design of restorative environments can be aided and underlying theory elaborated with a means for measuring psychological factors thought to work in restorative experiences This paper reports on four studies carried out to develop such a measure, the Perceived Restorativeness Scale (PRS) Each study employed several strategies for assessing reliability and validity Factor analysis was used to examine the stability of the measure's factor structure across different sites and studies To assess criterion, convergent, and discriminant validities, measures of emotional states and other environmental qualities were also completed for each site The sites selected for evaluation differed on theoretically relevant dimensions (natural‐urban; outdoor‐indoor), enabling checks on the PRS's sensitivity to meaningful differences among environments The results were consistent across

TL;DR: Genome-wide association with forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and the ratio of FEV1 to forced vital capacity (FVC) in the SpiroMeta consortium offers mechanistic insight into pulmonary function regulation and indicate potential targets for interventions to alleviate respiratory disease.
Abstract: Pulmonary function measures are heritable traits that predict morbidity and mortality and define chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We tested genome-wide association with forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV(1)) and the ratio of FEV(1) to forced vital capacity (FVC) in the SpiroMeta consortium (n = 20,288 individuals of European ancestry). We conducted a meta-analysis of top signals with data from direct genotyping (n < or = 32,184 additional individuals) and in silico summary association data from the CHARGE Consortium (n = 21,209) and the Health 2000 survey (n < or = 883). We confirmed the reported locus at 4q31 and identified associations with FEV(1) or FEV(1)/FVC and common variants at five additional loci: 2q35 in TNS1 (P = 1.11 x 10(-12)), 4q24 in GSTCD (2.18 x 10(-23)), 5q33 in HTR4 (P = 4.29 x 10(-9)), 6p21 in AGER (P = 3.07 x 10(-15)) and 15q23 in THSD4 (P = 7.24 x 10(-15)). mRNA analyses showed expression of TNS1, GSTCD, AGER, HTR4 and THSD4 in human lung tissue. These associations offer mechanistic insight into pulmonary function regulation and indicate potential targets for interventions to alleviate respiratory disease.
