| Abstract | Tissue factor (TF), the initiator of blood coagulation and thrombosis, is up-regulated after vascular injury and in atherosclerotic states. Systemic administration of recombinant TF pathway inhibitor (TFPI) has been reported to decrease intimal hyperplasia after vascular injury and also to suppress systemic mechanisms of blood coagulation and thrombosis. Here we report that, in heritable hyperlipidemic Watanabe rabbits, adenoviral gene transfer of TFPI to balloon-injured atherosclerotic arteries reduced the extent of intimal hyperplasia by 43% (P < 0.05) compared with a control vector used at identical titer (1 × 1010 plaque-forming units/ml). Platelet aggregation and coagulation studies performed 7 days after local gene transfer of TFPI failed to show any impairment in systemic hemostasis. At time of sacrifice, 4 weeks after vascular injury, the 10 Ad-TFPI treated carotid arteries were free of thrombi, whereas two control-treated arteries were occluded (P, not significant). These findings suggest that TFPI overexpressed in atherosclerotic arteries can regulate hyperplastic response to injury in the absence of changes in the hemostatic system, establishing a role for local TF regulation as target for gene transfer-based antirestenosis therapies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
