Publication Metadata only In vitro vessel-forming capacity of endothelial progenitor cells in high glucose conditions(2012-03-01) Chaiwat Jiraritthamrong; Pakpoom Kheolamai; Yaowalak U-Pratya; Methichit Chayosumrit; Aungkura Supokawej; Sirikul Manochantr; Chairat Tantrawatpan; Hathaitip Sritanaudomchai; Surapol Issaragrisil; Mahidol University; Faculty of Medicine, Thammasat University)-carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester-labeling vessel formation assay. The EPCs were cultured in three different glucose concentrations (100, 189.5, and 295.5 mg/dl of d-glucose) representing normal control and diabetes with either good or poor glycemic... control, respectively. We found that the in vitro vessel-forming capacity was impaired in EPCs cultured in high glucose concentrations compared to normal control (43.4 ± 0.8% and 34.7 ± 0.7% vs. 50.8 ± 2.1%). We further studied expression of various genesPublication Metadata only Fractional flow reserve guided coronary revascularization in drug-eluting era in Thai patients with borderline multi-vessel coronary stenoses.(2011-02-01) Teeranan Angkananard; Nattawut Wongpraparut; Damras Tresukosol; Pradit Panchavinin; Mahidol University. It is a challenge to demonstrate the benefit of the FFR-guided coronary revascularization in the patient with multivessel coronary disease (MVD) in the drug-eluting era in Thai patients. Forty-nine patients with MVD (71 stenotic vessels) underwent FFR...-guided revascularization (FFR group) compared with forty-nine patients with MVD (79 stenotic vessels) underwent traditional PCI (Traditional group) on the basis of visual estimation of the stenotic lesion. PCI has been performed in the FFR group patientItem Metadata only The effectiveness of alternative vessel grafts for meso-rex bypass in the treatment of extrahepatic portal vein obstruction in children(2025-12-01) Tantemsapya N.; Laohapensang M.; Tantemsapya N.; Mahidol UniversityPurpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of alternative autologous vessel grafts in creating a Meso-Rex bypass (MRB) compared to the distal splenorenal shunt (DSRS) in resolving symptoms of portal hypertension in children. Methods: All... children with EHPVO evaluated for surgery at Siriraj Hospital from January 2011 to December 2023 were reviewed. Alternative autologous vessel grafts were used in all cases where MRB was feasible. DSRS was performed in patients for whom MRB was not possiblePublication Metadata only Prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Retinal Vessel Occlusion and Its Association: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis(2019-12-02) Jakrin Kewcharoen; Elysse S.

Objective: Recent studies have shown that atrial fibrillation (AF) is more prevalent in patients with retinal vessel occlusion and may be associated with both central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO..., involving a total population of 12,305 subjects with retinal vessel occlusion. The prevalence of AF ranged from 4.1% to 21.4% (pooled prevalence = 11.5%, 95% CI: 7.0–16.1, I2 = 96.3%). Five studies reported a control group of patients without retinal vesselPublication Metadata only Cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis: The yield of direct immunofluorescence study(2004-05-01) Kanokvalai Kulthanan; Sumruay Pinkaew; Sukhum Jiamton; Punkae Mahaisavariya; Puan Suthipinittharm; Mahidol Universitydeposits in blood vessel walls in 76 cases(76%). Forty seven per cent of patients showed immunoreactant deposit only in superficial blood vessel walls, 3% had deposits only in deep blood vessel walls. Superficial and deep blood vessel-wall deposits were... seen in 26%. Dermoepidermal deposit in addition to blood vessel wall deposit was found in 39%. The most common immunoreactive deposit was C3 (71%), followed by IgM (35%), IgA (12%) and IgG (8%) respectively. The age of the skin lesions at the timeItem Metadata only Utility of high-resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging in differentiating between atherosclerotic plaques, vasculitis, and arterial dissection(2023-03-01) Tritanon O.; Mataeng S.; Apirakkan M.; Panyaping T.; Mahidol UniversityPurpose: Differentiating between atherosclerosis, vasculitis, and dissection is a diagnostic challenge because of inconclusive findings on conventional imaging and some overlap in the vessel wall patterns. The aim of this study was to determine... whether vessel wall MRI patterns can differentiate between these vasculopathies. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 3T high-resolution vessel wall imaging studies of patients diagnosed with atherosclerotic plaques, vasculitis, and dissectionPublication Metadata only Increased smooth muscle actin expression from bone marrow stromal cells under retinoic acid treatment: An attempt for autologous blood vessel tissue engineering(2005-06-01) Aungkura Jerareungrattana; Monnipha Sila-asna; Ahnond Bunyaratvej; Mahidol University; Faculty of Medicine, Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol UniversityVascular replacement in vital organs is sometimes necessary for human life for example because of atherosclerosis. Blood vessel tissue engineering is applied for autologous transplantations to avoid graft rejections. Stem cells are used for blood... vessel tissue engineering because they are the origin of smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts. This paper shows that bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) can be induced to differentiate into the early stage of smooth muscle cells by using 0Publication Metadata only Anatomy of superficial inferior epigastric vessels: revival of superficial inferior epigastric (SIEA) flap(2018-06-01) Suphalerk Lohasammakul; Chairat Turbpaiboon; Rosarin Ratanalekha; Visnu Lohsiriwat; Kongkrit Chaiyasate; Ali Roham; Apirag Chuangsuwanich; William Beaumont Hospital; Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol Universityvessel size for anastomosis are the major limitations. This study was therefore aimed to investigate these aspects of this flap. Methods: Twenty cadavers were dissected bilaterally to demonstrate vascular anatomy of these vessels. The SIEA of each cadaver... was dissected and traced from the origin (femoral arteries) to their presence in the subcutaneous layer. Originating patterns of these vessels, whether sharing a common trunk with other vessels such as superficial circumflex iliac (SCI) or superficial externalPublication Metadata only A comparison of mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion in acute ischemic stroke between patients with and without atrial fibrillation(2018-07-01) Anchalee Churojana; Atithep Mongkolratnan; Boonrerk Sangpetngam; Thaweesak Aurboonyawat; Ekawut Chankaew; Pattarawit Withayasuk; Dittapong Songsaeng; Christophe Cognard; Hôpital Purpan; Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University© 2018, Siriraj Medical Journal.
