Angiotensin II up-regulates CX3CR1 expression in THP-1 monocytes: impact on vascular inflammation and atherogenesis
(2010)The potential regulatory effect of angiotensins on circulating mononuclear cell activation and migration has not yet been thoroughly evaluated. Using flow cytometry we assessed the possible effect of angiotensin I and II ... -
Endothelin-1 overexpression: a potential biomarker of unfavorable prognosis in non-metastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer
(2015)Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a multifunctional peptide exerting its effects via receptors A and B. ET-1 and its receptors, endothelin axis (ET axis), play a promoting role in cancer biology. Alterations of proteins of ET axis ... -
Epithelium-dependent effect of L-glutamate on airways: involvement of prostaglandins
(2002)WE, investigated the effect of the excitatory amino acid (EAA) receptor agonists L-glutamate, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), (RS)-a-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) and kainic acid on KCl-induced ... -
In vitro effects of endothelin-1 on the contractility of myometrium obtained from pre- and postmenopausal women
(2001)This study was conducted to evaluate the responsiveness of human nonpregnant myometrium to endothelin 1 (ET1) (10(-10) M-10(-6) M) and KCl (80 mM) in relation to the hormonal profile of the women, who were allocated into ... -
Is Botulinum Neurotoxin Type A (BoNT-A) a Novel Therapy for Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Due to Benign Prostatic Enlargement? A Review of the Literature
(2008)Context: The intraprostatic injection of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) is a minimally invasive but still-experimental treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic enlargment (BPE) based ... -
Isocapnic Cold Air Challenge in Patients with COPD: Are There any Predisposing Factors?
(2008)Cold air hyperventilation is an indirect challenge (cold air challenge, CACh) with high specificity and low sensitivity in defining asthmatic subjects. A small proportion of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) ... -
Medical Expulsive Therapy for Distal Ureteral Stones
(2009)Although minimally invasive treatments for ureteral stones are efficacious, they are not free of complications and are associated with high cost. Medical expulsive therapy (MET) has recently emerged as an alternative ... -
REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN THE MODULATORY ROLE OF THE EPITHELIUM IN SHEEP AIRWAY
(2009)P>The airway epithelium may modulate smooth muscle responsiveness via the release of biologically active substances, such as nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandins. Based on regional differences in structure and function ... -
Statins and Infrainguinal Vascular Bypass Procedures
(2013)Statins exert several beneficial effects on patients with peripheral arterial disease, whether managed conservatively or undergoing open surgical/endovascular procedures. Statins improve perioperative and long-term mortality ...
