Pulmonary artery acceleration time in young children is determined by heart rate and transpulmonary gradient but not by pulmonary blood flow: A simultaneous echocardiography-cardiac catheterization study

Christiana Tai, Anyir Hsieh, Anita J. Moon-Grady, Roberta L. Keller, David Teitel, Hythem M. NawaytouUniversity of California, San FranciscoUnited States EchocardiographyEchocardiography 2022; 39: 895-905DOI: 10.1111/echo.15397 AbstractIntroduction: Pulmonary artery acceleration time (PAAT) is considered useful for the non-invasive evaluation of pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). PAAT is dependent on PAP, PVR, pulmonary artery compliance, […]

Upregulated TSP1 and CD47 Expression in the Lung in Nitrofen-induced Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

Hajime TakayasuKitasato University. University of Tsukuba.Japan Pediatrics InternationalPediatr Int 2022; DOI: 10.1111/ped.15447 AbstractBackground: Persistent pulmonary hypertension remains a major cause of mortality and morbidity in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The secreted glycoprotein thrombospondin-1 (TSP1), a ligand for receptor CD47, is widely expressed on both systemic and pulmonary vascular cells. TSP1-CD47 signaling has been reported to be one
