Coronary microvascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) respond to luminal pressure by developing myogenic tone (MT), a process integral to the regulation of microvascular perfusion. The cellular mechanisms underlying poor myogenic reactivity in patients with heart valve disease are unknown and form the focus of this study.
Intramyocardial coronary micro-arteries (IMCAs) isolated from human and pig right atrial appendage (RA) and left ventricular (LV) biopsies were studied using pressure myography combined with confocal microscopy. All RA- and LV-IMCAs from organ donors and pigs developed circa 25% MT. In contrast, 44% of human RA-IMCAs from 88 patients with heart valve disease had poor (<10%) MT yet retained cell viability and an ability to raise cytoplasmic Ca2+ in response to vasoconstrictor agents. Comparing across human heart chambers and species we found that based on patient medical history and six tests, the strongest predictor of poor MT in IMCAs was increased expression of the synthetic marker caldesmon relative to the contractile marker SM-myosin heavy chain. In addition, high resolution imaging revealed a distinct layer of longitudinally-aligned SMCs between ECs and radial SMCs, and we show poor MT was associated with disruptions in these cellular alignments.
These data demonstrate the first use of atrial and ventricular biopsies from patients and pigs to reveal that impaired coronary MT reflects a switch of viable SMCs towards a synthetic phenotype, rather than a loss of SMC viability. These arteries represent a model for further studies of coronary microvascular contractile dysfunction.

Breast reduction using the superomedial technique can relieve symptoms related to breast hypertrophy; however, as the lateral and inferior portion of the breast parenchyma is removed and displaced, reduction mammoplasty may lead to an impaired ability to breastfeed.
To assess the patient's ability to breastfeed after superomedial reduction mammoplasty.
This was a cross-sectional study including patients treated with superomedial reduction mammoplasty between January 2009 and December 2018 at two tertiary hospitals in Denmark. Patients were stratified into two cohorts, depending on whether they had childbirth before or after their reduction mammoplasty. Patients were sent specific questionnaires regarding maternity, breastfeeding before and after reduction mammoplasty, nipple sensitivity, and current demographic information. Operative details were retrieved from electronic medical records.
We identified 303 patients eligible for this study (37 patients giving birth after and 266 before reduction mammopcity.
Extracellular chromatin and deoxyribonuclease (DNase) have been identified as important players of thrombosis, inflammation and homeostasis in a murine model. We previously demonstrated that activated neutrophils release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) at the culprit site in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), which significantly contribute to extracellular chromatin burden, and are associated with larger infarcts. To understand the correlation between neutrophil activation, extracellular chromatin and infarct size (IS), we investigated these parameters in a porcine myocardial infarction model, and at different time points and sites in a prospective STEMI trial with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) endpoints.
In a prospective STEMI trial (NCT01777750), 101 STEMI patients were included and blood samples were obtained from first medical contact until 6 months after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) including direct sampling from the culprit site. CMR was performed 4 ± 2 days andeterminants of MVO in STEMI. Rapid degradation of extracellular chromatin by DNases appears to be crucial for microvascular patency and outcome.
We show that NETs and extracellular DNA obstruct microvessels in the porcine myocardial infarction model and is connected to increased infarct size. We are able to prove this observation in human STEMI patients. DNase is capable to counteract these effects. Extracellular DNA could be a new treatment target in STEMI.

For example, C4 crops such as maize and sorghum are major contributors to both first and third world food production and the C4 grasses sugarcane, miscanthus and switchgrass are major plant sources of bioenergy. In the challenge to manipulate and enhance C4 photosynthesis, steady state models of leaf photosynthesis provide an important tool for gas exchange analysis and thought experiments that can explore photosynthetic pathway changes. Here the C4 photosynthetic model by von Caemmerer and Furbank (1999) has been updated with new kinetic parameterisation and temperature dependencies added. The parameterisation was derived from experiments on the C4 monocot, Setaria viridis, which for the first time provides a cohesive parametrisation. Mesophyll conductance and its temperature dependence have also been included, as this is an important step in the quantitative correlation between the initial slope of the CO2 response curve of CO2 assimilation and in vitro PEP carboxylase activity. Furthermore, the equations for chloroplast electron transport have been updated to include cyclic electron transport flow and equations have been added to calculate electron transport rate from measured CO2 assimilation rates.
Face fat overfilling sometimes occurs and is very difficult to repair unfortunately.
The authors report their first experience of micro-liposuction with low negative pressure combined with super-tumescence (LNPST) in a case series of 32 patients.
The LNPST micro liposuction was performed in 32 patients aged 22 to 41 (mean, 29.6±4.9) years with facial overfilling. Two independent plastic surgeons intraoperatively monitored and recorded discomfort and bleeding using a grading system. All patients were followed up for haematoma within 1 week postoperatively and for skin numbness and muscle paralysis at 1 week and 3 months postoperatively. In addition, 6 months postoperatively, patient satisfaction with the postoperative aesthetic effects was analysed by Face-Q.
All patients successfully completed the operation under local anaesthesia. The intraoperative discomfort and blood-loss scores were 1.69±0.62 and 1.22±0.41, respectively. The haematoma score was 1.13±0.34 within 1 W [other scores postoperative skin numbness (1 W 1.
