Does meta-analysis of prostate cancer gene expression data identify a novel discriminatory signature enriched for glycosylating enzymes?
In conclusion, robust transcript biomarkers are present within datasets assembled over many years and cohorts and our study provides both examples and a strategy for refining and comparing datasets to obtain additional markers as more data are generated.
(1) Bronchial artery blood flow can quantitatively be assessed during CPB when microspheres are injected into the ascending aorta and the reference samples are taken from the descending aorta. (2) Despite adequate perfusion pressure bronchial artery blood flow is decreased substantially during CPB. (3) The decrease in blood flow and the ultrastructural changes present at the end of CPB suggest the presence of low-flow ischemia of the lung during total CPB.
