Airway responsiveness: role of inflammation, epithelium damage and smooth muscle tension
(1999)THE purpose of this study was the effect of epithelium damage on mechanical responses of airway smooth muscles under different resting tension. We performed acetylcholine (ACh) (10(-5) M)-induced contraction on tracheal ... -
Clinical, ultrasonographic, bacteriological, cytological and histological findings during uterine involution in ewes with pregnancy toxaemia and subsequent reproductive efficiency
(2020)Objectives were to evaluate characteristics of uterine involution in ewes with pregnancy toxaemia during gestation and to study effects on subsequent reproductive performance. Pregnancy toxaemia was induced in ewes (A) by ... -
Comparison of isotonic activation of cell volume regulation in rat peritoneal mesothelial cells and in kidney outer medullary collecting duct principal cells
(2021)In disease states, mesothelial cells are exposed to variable osmotic conditions, with high osmotic stress exerted by peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluids. They contain unphysiologically high concentrations of glucose and result ... -
Effect of adrenaline on the electrophysiologic profile of isolated visceral sheep peritoneum
(2004)The peritoneal mesothelium is a barrier to ion transport in peritoneal dialysis. In the present study, we investigated, by means of Ussing chamber experiments, the effect of adrenaline on the electrical transepithelial ... -
Epithelium-dependent regulation of airways smooth muscle function. A histamine nitric oxide pathway
(1998)THE airway epithelium is responsible for the production of a number of arachidonic acid and nonprostanoid inhibitory factors. Epithelium synthesises nitric oxide (NO) which may be important in regulating the function of ... -
Flash proton radiotherapy spares normal epithelial and mesenchymal tissues while preserving sarcoma response
(2021)In studies of electron and proton radiotherapy, ultrahigh dose rates of FLASH radiotherapy appear to produce fewer toxicities than standard dose rates while maintaining local tumor control. FLASHproton radiotherapy (F-PRT) ... -
Immunohistochemical Expression of Keratins in Normal Ovine Skin and in Chronic Dermatitis due to Sarcoptes scabiei
(2021)Hyperproliferation of epidermal keratinocytes is a major histopathological feature of chronic Sarcoptes scabiei dermatitis. We investigated the immunohistochemical expression of several keratins in scabietic dermatitis in ... -
Inhibition by mercuric chloride of aquaporin-1 in the parietal sheep peritoneum: an electrophysiologic study
(2006)The peritoneal mesothelium is a barrier to ion transport in peritoneal dialysis. In this study, we used Ussing-chamber experiments to investigate the effect of HgCl2, an aquaporin-1 inhibitor, on the transmesothelial ... -
Non-genomic effect of testosterone on airway smooth muscle
(2006)Background and purpose: Recent studies on blood vessels have provided evidence that testosterone may exert direct effects on smooth muscle. However, an acute effect on airway reactivity has not been shown yet. The aim of ... -
Pleural Effusion IL-33/sST2 Levels and Effects of Low and High IL-33/sST2 Levels on Human Mesothelial Cell Adhesion and Migration
(2019)Interleukin 33 (IL-33) is an alarmin with multiple roles in immunity and cell homeostasis, highly expressed in barrier sites, acting via the suppression of tumorigenicity 2 receptor (ST2). Production of IL-33 and soluble ... -
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 ... -
Sestrin-2 is significantly increased in malignant pleural effusions due to lung cancer and is potentially secreted by pleural mesothelial cells
(2016)Objectives: Sestrin-2 (Sesn2) belongs to a family of highly conserved antioxidant proteins that were discovered as p53-inducible proteins and inhibits cell growth and proliferation. Our aim was to assess the levels of Sesn2 ... -
Soluble Non-Starch Polysaccharides From Plantain (Musa x paradisiaca L.) Diminish Epithelial Impact of Clostridioides difficile
(2021)Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is a leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Adhesion of this Gram-positive pathogen to the intestinal epithelium is a crucial step in CDI, with recurrence and relapse of ...
