Autoantibodies Targeting AT1 Receptor from Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome Upregulate Proinflammatory Cytokines Expression in Endothelial Cells Involving NF-κB Pathway by Weijuan Li, Zhi Li, Yaoqi Chen, Songhai Li, Yuanyuan Lv, Wenping Zhou, Mengyang Liao, Feng Zhu, Zihua Zhou, Xiang Cheng, Qiutang Zeng, Yuhua Liao, Yumiao Wei

“…These improvements could be inhibited by specific AT1 receptor blocker valsartan, NF-κB blocker pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), and specific short peptides from the second extracellular loop of AT1 receptor. These results suggested that AT1-AAs, via the AT1 receptor, induce expression of proinflammatory cytokines involved in the activation of NF-κB. …”

Liver Cirrhosis/Severe Fibrosis Is a Risk Factor for Anastomotic Leakage after Colorectal Surgery by Samuel Andreas Käser, Irina Hofmann, Niels Willi, Felix Stickel, Christoph Andreas Maurer

“…Based on a prospective database with all consecutive colorectal resections performed at the authors’ institution from 07/2002 to 07/2012 (n=2104) all colonic and rectal anastomoses were identified (n=1875). A temporary loop ileostomy was constructed in 257 cases (13.7%) either due to Mannheimer Peritonitis-Index > 29 or rectal anastomosis below 6 cm from the anal verge. …”
