It is estimated that by the year 2020, cardiovascular disease will surpass infectious disease, to become the world’s leading cause of mortality and morbidity. Approximately half of the cardiovascular mortality is due to acute myocardial infarction, whereas subsequent heart failure and stable coronary artery disease account for the majority of morbidity. Stem cell therapy to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease has been the topic of extensive research over the past decade. The assumption that multipotent cells can graft to the injured heart and incorporate into the host’s myocardium, thereby contributing to contractility and improving cardiac function, is considered to be the holy grail for cardiac cell therapy. Hence, the first attempt of cardiac cell therapy more than a decade ago was with skeletal myoblasts (SkM) in end-stage heart failure patients. These progenitor cells are derived from striated skeletal muscle, and are destined to become contracting myofibers. It was hypothesized that, once injected into myocardial scars, these SkM would differentiate into con- tractile units in vivo, and actually contribute to the contractile apparatus. Unfortunately, clinical reality turned out to be less manipulable, and subsequent research has indicated that the road towards the holy grail is still long and comprises many obstacles on the way. More specifically, injected SkM did not actually incorporate into scars, but rather formed re-entry cir- Chapter 1 Chapter cuits for ventricular arrhythmias, whereas cardiac function was not enhanced following SkM injection. In the clinical arena, these disappointing results were rather generalized into the notion that cardio- vascular cell therapy did not work. However, as there are several different cardiovascular pathologies and even more different stem cell types, cell therapy is not a single entity. Therefore, the last decade has been devoted to unraveling numerous questions, as 1) what is the ideal stem cell type and dose; 2) what cardiovascular disease types qualify for stem cell therapy; 3) when should stem cell therapy be initiated; 4) how should cells be administered; 5) what is the best surrogate end point to evaluate the effect of cell therapy; etcetera. This thesis aims to clarify some of these questions, and summarizes our current knowledge about car- diovascular cell therapy. The latter is described and discussed in part I, in which a systematic review covers most relevant pre-clinical and clinical experience. Moreover, in two meta-analyses, the clinical efficacy of the first generation of stem cells is assessed in both myocardial infarction and heart failure patients. This thesis also aims to elaborate on various cell types, as well as the cardiovascular diseases these cells aim to heal. More specifically, safety and efficacy of first generation stem cells in both heart failure and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients is depicted in part II. In part III, first-in-man clin- ical experience with intracoronary infusion of adipose tissue-derived cells (second generation stem cells) is described in AMI patients. These initial results formed the basis for a larger phase II/III study. Part IV covers third generation stem cells for the adjunctive treatment of AMI, which comprise alloge- neic mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Safety and efficacy of both single cell suspensions of MSC, as well as encapsulated MSC, were investigated in large animal models of AMI. In contrast to previous reports, 14 it was found that intracoronary infusion of these cells is both safe and effective when infused briefly following AMI. This finding resulted in the design of a phase I/II clinical study that is currently enrolling AMI patients. Part V encompasses studies with the Genous™ stent, which is designed to attract endo- thelial progenitor cells (second generation stem cells). This stent is hypothesized to promote vascular healing post stent implantation, and theoretically reduces thrombogeneity and in-stent restenosis. Part VI summarizes the current findings and touches upon future steps that should be taken to ac- commodate stem cell therapy as a clinical entity in the future of cardiovascular medicine. 15 Chapter 2 A concise review of cell-based therapies for cardiovascular repair What the clinician needs to know Jaco H.

The aS trap Of Western Anatolia And The Greeks Abstract This dissertation explores the extent to which Persian policies in the western satrapies originated from the provincial capitals in the Anatolian periphery rather than from the royal centers in the Persian heartland in the fifth ec ntury BC. I begin by establishing that the Persian administrative apparatus was a product of a grand reform initiated by Darius I, which was aimed at producing a more uniform and centralized administrative infrastructure. In the following chapter I show that the provincial administration was embedded with chancellors, scribes, secretaries and military personnel of royal status and that the satrapies were periodically inspected by the Persian King or his loyal agents, which allowed to central authorities to monitory the provinces. In chapter three I delineate the extent of satrapal authority, responsibility and resources, and conclude that the satraps were supplied with considerable resources which enabled to fulfill the duties of their office. After the power dynamic between the Great Persian King and his provincial governors and the nature of the office of satrap has been analyzed, I begin a diachronic scrutiny of Greco-Persian interactions in the fifth century BC.

  • How to Restart an Oracle: Politics, Propaganda, and the Oracle of Apollo
    How to Restart an Oracle: Politics, Propaganda, and the Oracle of Apollo at Didyma c.305-300 BCE The Sacred Spring at Didyma dried up when the Persians deported the Branchidae to central Asia at the conclusion of the Ionian revolt c.494. It remained barren throughout the fifth and most of the fourth centuries and thus prophecy did not flow. However, when Alexander the Great liberated Miletus in 334, the spring was reborn and with it returned the gift of prophecy. After nearly two centuries, the new oracle at Didyma was not the same as the old one. This begs the question, how does one restart an oracle? The usual account is that Alexander appointed a new priestess, who immediately predicted his victory over Persia and referred to him as a god. In the historical tradition, largely stemming from Callisthenes, the renewed oracle is thus linked to Alexander, but words are wind and tradition can be manipulated. There are issues with the canonical chronology: Miletus reverted briefly to Persian control in Alexander’s wake; the Branchidae, the hereditary priests, still lived in central Asia (Hammond 1998; Parke 1985); and, most tellingly, construction on a new temple did not start for another thirty years. In fact, the renewal of the oracle only appears after Seleucus, who supposedly received three favorable oracles in 334, found the original cult statue and returned it to Miletus (Paus. 1.16.3). In the satiric account of the prophet Alexander, Lucian of Samosata declares the oracles of old, including Delphi, Delos, Claros, and Branchidae (Didyma), became wealthy by exploiting the credulity and fears of wealthy tyrants (8).

  • From Cardia to Babylon
    CHAPTER � From Cardia to Babylon Eumenes, the son of Hieronymus (Arr. Ind. 18. 7), was born in 361 BC, in Cardia in the Thracian Chersonese.1 Beyond this, little is known of his life prior to the death of Alexander the Great. Our major source for this later period, Hieronymus, was not writing biography, but a history of post-Alexandrine events,2 and this is reflected in our sources, where little of Eumenes’ activi- ties before 323 is mentioned. The information that does survive is found principally in Plutarch’s Life of Eumenes. Nepos (Eum. 1. 4–6) only notes that Eumenes became secretary to both Alexander and his father Philip, and late in Alexander’s reign he commanded one of the two corps of the elite Macedonian Companion Cavalry. Plutarch presents two accounts of the origin of Eumenes’ association with the Macedonian court, one which comes from Duris of Samos and relates that Eumenes was the son of a poor carter whose athletic prowess so impressed the Macedonian king that he was immediately taken into Philip’s entourage (Plut. Eum. 1. 1–2). There was even a tradition that Eumenes was the son of an impov- erished funeral-musician (Ael. VH 12. 43). Ptolemy, also, is described as having risen from the ranks of the infantry (Just. 13. 4. 10); Antigonus, born of a farmer (Ael. VH 12. 43), and Lysimachus, the son of a Thessalian (FGrH 260 F-3.8).3 Certainly in the case of Ptolemy the evidence is clear that he came from the 1 Eumenes died in January 315 (see Chapter 6), having served the Macedonian royal house since he was 19; he served Alexander for 13 years (Nepos Eum.1.

  • Seleukos I and the Origin of the Seleukid Dynastic Ideology1
    Seleukos I and the Origin of the Seleukid Dynastic Ideology1 Krzysztof Nawotka This paper deals with the constituent components of the Seleukid ideology in the age of the founder of the dynasty, Seleukos I. It will reassess the role played by Alexander the Great as the point of reference for Seleukos, arguing for Seleukos’ intention to anchor his legitimacy in decisions of Alexander. It will further provide evidence for introducing the idea of the special protection of Apollo enjoyed by the Seleukid dynasty from ca. 300 BCE. It will be shown that this concept did not stem from Seleukos personal piety but it was successfully promoted by the city of Miletus and its prominent citizen, Demodamas. There are a number of generally recognizable features of the Seleukid imagery and ideology. Some are specifically Seleukid, such as the anchor and Apollo seated on the omphalos2 on the coins of the Seleukid era. The others had more universal appeal in the early Hellenistic age, such as putting the king’s name on coins in place of Alexander’s,3 naming newly founded cities or renaming existing ones after members of the royal family, placing the images of elephants on coins4 or advertising victory in royal nicknames (Nikator, Kallinikos, Nikephoros)5 or in names of cities (Nikephorion, Nikopolis).6 Of course nickname Nikator was much more than an image-building trick, as the exceptional military prowess of Seleukos in re-building the empire of Alexander was a fact acknowledged by ancient authors.7 Some of these features proved extremely resistant to the passage of time.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT Literary evidence on Lysimachus reveals a series of images which may say more about contemporary or later views on kingship than about the actual man, given the intrusion of bias, conventional motifs and propaganda. Thrace was Lysimachus* legacy from Alexander's empire; though problems posed by its formidable tribes and limited resources excluded him from the Successors' wars for nearly ten years, its position, linking Europe and Asia, afforded him some influence, Lysimachus failed to conquer "all of Thrace", but his settlements there achieved enough stability to allow him thoughts of rule across the Hellespont, in Asia Minor, More ambitious and less cautious than is often thought, Lysimachus' acquisition of empire in Asia Minor, Macedon and Greece from c.315 BC to 284 BC reflects considerable military and diplomatic skills, deployed primarily when self-interest demanded rather than reflecting obligations as a permanent member of an "anti-Antigonid team".
