    Predicting late myocardial recovery and outcomes in the early hours of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction : traditional measures compared with microvascular obstruction, salvaged myocardium, and necrosis characteristics by cardiovascular magnetic resonance
    (Elsevier, 2010-06-01) Bertrand, Olivier; Noël, Bernard; Woerly, Stéphane; De Larochellière, Robert; Boudreault, Jean-Roch; Larose, Éric; Rodés-Cabau, Josep; Barbeau, Gérald; Nguyen, Can Manh; Rouleau, Jacques; Proulx, Guy; Amyot, Marc; Déry, Jean-Pierre; Pibarot, Philippe; Roy, Louis; Gleeton, Onil
    Objectives : The aim of this study was to determine whether a very early imaging strategy improves the prediction of late systolic dysfunction and poor outcomes in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) compared with traditional predictors. Background : Earlier prediction of poor outcomes after STEMI is desirable, because it will allow tailored therapy at the earliest possible time, when benefits might be greatest. Methods : One hundred and three patients with acute STEMI were studied by contrast-enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance within 12 h of primary angioplasty and at 6 months and followed >2 years. The primary end point was left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, whereas poor outcomes were a key secondary end point. Results : Traditional risk factors were only modest predictors of late LV dysfunction. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) volume maintained a stronger association to LV ejection fraction change than infarct transmurality, microvascular obstruction, or myocardial salvage during STEMI (p = 0.02). Multivariable logistic regression identified LGE volume during STEMI as the best predictor of late LV dysfunction (odds ratio: 1.36, p = 0.03). An LGE =23% of LV during STEMI accurately predicted late LV dysfunction (sensitivity 89%, specificity 74%). The LGE volume provided important incremental benefit for predicting late dysfunction (area under the curve = 0.92, p = 0.03 vs. traditional risk factors). Twenty-three patients developed poor outcomes (1 death, 2 myocardial infarctions, 5 malignant arrhythmias, 4 severe LV dysfunction <35%, 11 hospital stays for heart failure) over 2.6 ± 0.9 years; LGE volume remained a strong independent predictor of poor outcomes, whereas LGE =23% carried a hazard ratio of 6.1 for adverse events (p < 0.0001). Conclusions : During the hyperacute phase of STEMI, LGE volume provides the strongest association and incremental predictive value for late systolic dysfunction and discerns poor late outcomes.

    Skin equivalent produced with human collagen
    (Society for In Vitro Biology, 1995-06-01) Noël, Bernard; Tremblay, Nathalie; Germain, Lucie; Auger, François A.; López Valle, Carlos Antonio; Guignard, Rina; Goulet, Francine
    Several studies have recently been conducted on cultured skin equivalent (SE), prepared using human keratinocytes seeded on various types of dermal equivalents (DE). We previously showed the advantages of our anchorage method in preventing the severe surface reduction of DE due to fibroblast contractile properties in vitro. A new anchored human SE was established in our laboratory in order to obtain a bioengineered tissue that would possess the appropriate histological and biological properties. In order to compare the effects of different collagen origins on the evolution of SE in vitro, human keratinocytes were seeded on three types of anchored DE. A comparative study was carried out between bovine SE (bSE), human SE (hSE), and human skin equivalent containing additional dermal matrix components (hSE +). Immunohistological analysis showed that hSE and hSE+ presented good structural organization, including the deposition of several basement membrane constituents. Higher amounts of transglutaminase, ceramides, and keratin 1 were detected in the epidermal layers of all SE when cultured at the air-liquid interface. However, a 92 kDa gelatinase activity was higher in bovine skin equivalent (bSE) compared to hSE cultures. The use of human collagens comparatively to bovine collagen as SE matricial component delayed the degradation of the dermal layer in culture.
