Cytokine balance in infants undergoing cardiac operation.
Hedwig H. Hövels-Gürich,Kathrin Schumacher,Jaime F. Vazquez-Jimenez,Ma Qing,Ulrike Hüffmeier,Brigitte Buding,Bruno J. Messmer,Götz von Bernuth,Marie-Christine Seghaye +8 more
TL;DR: Infants with hypoxemia show a preoperative inflammatory state with low antiinflammatory cytokine balance in contrast to those with heart failure, which is associated with lower perioperative antiinflammation balance and might contribute to postoperative morbidity.

Intramyocardial synthesis of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in infants with congenital cardiac defects.
Ma Qing,Kathrin Schumacher,Ruth Heise,Michael Wöltje,Jaime F. Vazquez-Jimenez,Thomas Richter,Monika Arranda-Carrero,John Hess,Götz von Bernuth,Marie Christine Seghaye +9 more
TL;DR: Results show intramyocardial synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines in infants with congenital cardiac defects is associated with activation of both the NF-kappa-B and p38 MAPK pathways, which could be particularly important for the transduction of mechanical signals in the infant's myocardium.

Moderate hypothermia during cardiopulmonary bypass reduces myocardial cell damage and myocardial cell death related to cardiac surgery
Jaime F. Vazquez-Jimenez,Ma Qing,Benita Hermanns,Bernd Klosterhalfen,Michael Wöltje,Raj Chakupurakal,Kathrin Schumacher,Bruno J. Messmer,Götz von Bernuth,Marie-Christine Seghaye +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that moderate hypothermia during CPB provides myocardial protection by enhancing intra-myocardial anti-inflammatory cytokine balance.

The hypoxia-inducible factor HIF-1 promotes intramyocardial expression of VEGF in infants with congenital cardiac defects.
Ma Qing,Agnes Görlach,Katharina Schumacher,Michael Wöltje,Jamie F Vazquez-Jimenez,John Hess,Marie-Christine Seghaye +6 more
TL;DR: Findings show that chronic hypoxemia is associated with the induction and stabilization of the transcription factor HIF-1 as well as its target genes VEGF and eNOS in the myocardium of infants with cyanotic cardiac defects.
Effect of biologically active coating on biocompatibility of Nitinol devices designed for the closure of intra-atrial communications.
Xiangqing Kong,R. G. Grabitz,W. van Oeveren,Doris Klee,T.G. van Kooten,Franz Freudenthal,Ma Qing,G von Bernuth,Marie-Christine Seghaye +8 more
TL;DR: R-hirudin and fibronectin coating improve in vitro biocompatibility of Nitinol devices designed for the closure of intra-atrial communications by causing no acute cytotoxicity, decreasing thrombogenicity and increasing endothelialisation.
