Involvement of soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) in thrombosis and inflammation on the context of coronary artery disease is currently being revised. In that perspective, we had studied the association of sCD40L with markers of platelet activation and markers of endothelial and vascular function. On that cohort, a stratification of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) 1 month after percutaneous coronary i...
Reported in vitro data implicated soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) in endothelial dysfunction and angiogenesis. However, whether sCD40L could exert that influence in endothelial dysfunction and angiogenesis after injury in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients remains unclear. In the present study, we evaluated the association of sCD40L with markers of platelet activation, endothelial, and vascular function du...
Moxifloxacin is a new fluoroquinolone antimicrobial approved for the treatment of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis. In order to assess its distribution pattern into the paranasal sinuses, and specifically to evaluate how the histopathologic changes associated with chronic inflammation affect its tissue penetration, we conducted the present investigation, a randomized, open-label, single dose, sinus-tissue pharmac...
