In the pacing + olmesartan group, this up-regulation of CTGF was suppressed in both atria in comparison with the pacing control group.
The mRNA expressions of COL1, COL3, and FN1, which reflect ECM synthesis, exhibited a similar pattern to CTGF, except for COL1 in the LA in which up-regulation was not suppressed in the pacing + olmesartan group in comparison with the pacing control group.
Can you imagine how many people would already have died if H.I.V. could be transmitted by a cough?" Viruses mutate rapidly, particularly in comparison with the glacial pace of human evolution.
In comparison with the non-pacing group, the pacing control group exhibited enhanced expression of CTGF.
In comparison with the non-pacing group, the pacing control group exhibited partial cellular degeneration, fatty degeneration, and interstitial proliferation, but the infiltration of mononuclear cells was not observed.
The protein level of COL1 did not show any difference among the three groups; however, the protein level of COL3 was up-regulated in the pacing control group in comparison with the non-pacing group in both the LA and RA, and this up-regulation was suppressed in the pacing + olmesartan group, almost completely in the RA and partially in the LA.
In the pacing control group, the mRNA expression of CTGF was up-regulated in comparison with the non-pacing group in both the LA and RA.
Mr. Bernanke, citing estimates by outside economists that foreign trade may have led to the loss of as many as 167,000 jobs a year since 2001, said the numbers were small in comparison with the nation's overall pace of both job creation and job destruction.
The proposed mechanistic hypothesis is further supported by an earlier study performed using a canine model of pacing-induced HF where LVEDV exhibited a delayed response to rapid RV pacing in comparison with the response seen in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure [ 17].
The majority of the recent Medtronic CRT-Ds was endowed with algorithms for automatic pacing output adjustment, which have been demonstrated to reduce pacing output in comparison with the standard manual management approach.
