Unlabelled: Hypoxemia is a common event in many vascular diseases, especially vascular ischemia. Since endothelial cells of blood vessels are exposed to conditions within the vascular space and leucocytes play a key role in ischemia/reperfusion injury, we hypothesized that endothelial exposure to hypoxia may regulate expression of surface proteins important in leucocyte-endothelial interactions, such as E-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1). In this study, we used isolated bovine aortic endothelial monolayers to examine endothelial surface alterations of E-selectin and ICAM-1 induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and hypoxia using a whole cell enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Bovine endothelial exposure to TNF-alpha (50 ng/mL) induced a time dependent increase (range 0-24h) in specific E-selection surface expression. Endothelial exposure to hypoxia alone (pO2 approximately 3 mmHg, range 0-24 h), however, failed to elicit endothelial E-selectin expression. Endothelial exposure to LPS brought about a dose- and time-dependent (range 0.5 ng/mL and 2-8 h) increase in specific ICAM-1 surface expression (max. 3.5 +/- 0.15-fold increase over no cytokine control at 10 ng/mL, 4 h). Hypoxia (pO2 approximately 3 mmHg, 8h), however, did not induce ICAM-1 surface expression over normoxia levels.
In conclusion: i) bovine endothelial E-selectin and ICAM-1 surface expression are regulated molecules, ii) hypoxia, per se, does not regulate surface expression of either E-selectin or ICAM-1. These results suggest that hypoxic endothelia may require additional external signals for generation of adaptive inflammatory responses.

The present study investigates the physical properties and the in vivo application of in vivo of a self-expandable stent (Wallstent) with an incorporated sealant of microporous polyurethane. Measurements of diameter and length as a function axial load featured the data for the calculation for radial pressure. Porosity control was assessed in comparison to non gelatin-sealed knitted Dacron. 11 stents on a 11.5F catheter were inserted in the aorta of three minipigs and evaluated by pressure measurement and angiography. The coverage of the stent causes an increase of 0.05-0.1 bar of radial pressure. The graph received by calculations demonstrates the corresponding pressure for every given diameter of the stents. Porosity is similar to the Dacron graft. The patency-rate is 100%. Characteristics of this covered stents meet requirements of an endovascular prostheses. Exclusion of fistulas and small aneurysms seems to be possible.
