Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE In randomized controlled trials, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is reported as lowering blood pressure (BP) with a mean systolic blood pressure effect size of 2.5 mmHg. These trials have a median follow-up of less than 6 months. Whether this initial BP response during the first months of CPAP treatment translates into a reduction in long-term cardiovascular events and mortality is unknown. METHODS This observational study addressed long-term hard cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality in a well-defined population of 241 patients previously included in the AgirSASadom parallel randomized controlled trial (assessing whether fixed-pressure CPAP was superior to auto-adjusted CPAP in reducing BP (baseline evaluations 2010-2012)). Long-term outcomes were analyzed using a Cox survival model, and a logistic regression analysis was performed for long-term CPAP adherence. RESULTS Sixty-nine cardiovascular events occurred in 61 patients during a median follow-up of 113 months (interquartile range [102 ; 124]) giving an incidence of 26 for 1000 person-years. Twenty-one (8.7%) patients died. BP values at baseline (i.e., office and 24-h BP) was a strong predictor of incident cardiometabolic events and mortality (p < 0.01) whereas initial BP response after the first four months of CPAP was not related to outcomes. Long-term CPAP adherence above 4 h/night was associated with a reduction in all-cause mortality (Log-rank P = 0.02) but not in the occurrence of long-term cardiovascular events. CONCLUSION Independently of initial blood pressure response, long-term CPAP adherence is one of the prerequisites for reducing mortality.

Abstract
Taxol, an antineoplastic drug, increases the fraction of cells in G2/M phases of cell cycle, induces apoptosis of leukemic cells, and activates macrophages to produce nitric oxide (NO) in response to interferon-gamma. NO has been found to play roles as pro-apoptotic or anti-apoptotic effector molecules. In this study, we investigate effects of NO on taxol-induced apoptosis in human myeloid leukemia cell, HL-60. Incubation of the cells with taxol for 24 hr induced marked DNA fragmentation of HL-60 cells. Treatment of the cells with S-nitrosogluthathione (GSNO), a NO-generating agent, protected the cells against taxol-induced apoptosis. Cell cycle analysis showed that treatment of the cells with 100 nM taxol for 12 hr rendered the cells to be accumulated in G2/M phase, but the cotreatment of the cells with taxol and 0.1 mM GSNO decreased the accumulation of the cell in G2/M phases, suggesting that NO might interfere entering of taxol-treated cells into G2/M phases. Deferoxamine or mimosine, which can arrest cells mainly at G1/S phases, also decreased taxol-induced apoptosis and reduced the number of the taxol-treated cells arresting in G2/M phases. Thus, we conclude that a protective effect of NO on taxol-treated cells from apoptosis may be partially caused by interfering entering of the taxol-treated cells into G2/M phases.

Abstract
The introduction of rams to a group of previously isolated anoestrous ewes has been shown to stimulate ovarian follicular development and ovulation. The present experiment was carried out to determine the ability of follicles arising from this ram stimulus to produce steroids and bind hCG. Seasonally anoestrous Southdown ewes were exposed to rams for 24 h, 40 h, 3 days, 10 days or 20 days before ovariectomy. Steroid production and the concentration of hCG binding sites in follicles dissected from the ovaries were measured in vitro. The presence of a ram caused ovulation and enhanced oestradiol production by follicles, but had little effect on total androgen production or the number of hCG binding sites present in the follicles when compared to follicles from anoestrous ewes. The oestradiol concentrations in large follicles were not as high as in preovulatory follicles from cyclic ewes reported in other studies. Follicles continued to develop through the ram contact period and when incubated after 40 h and 10 days of ram contact produced high levels of progesterone, indicating partial luteinization, although the corpora lutea (CL) resulting from the induced ovulations regressed prematurely. We suggest that the lack of hCG binding sites in ram-induced follicles may be the cause of poor luteinization and suboptimal development of luteal tissue after induced ovulation in ewes during seasonal anoestrus.
