The ionic conductance, Gt, through the isolated human amnion is the sum of several conductances: Gt = Gp + Gc + Gs. Gp, the paracellular conductance is: Gp = Gj + Gjc (Gj is due to the intercellular channel and Gjc due to the electrical coupling factor); Gc, the cellular conductance is: Gc = Gc1.
Background: While the influence of microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity on the development of spontaneous preterm delivery is unquestionable, the use of an invasive procedure to diagnosis the status of infection limits its clinical
Using whole-body autoradiography of 14C-taurine in mice we have observed a high concentration in the nasal mucosa followed by accumulation in the olfactory bulb at longer survival times. When 14C-taurine was administered in the nasal cavity unilaterally, a high accumulation was observed in the
The formation of ommatidia in the compound eyes and sensilla on the antennae of the honeybee was followed and the development of their sensory neurons was traced using an antiserum against taurine as a marker. Taurine-like immunoreactivity (Tau-IR) is expressed in sensory neurons of several
In order to understand whether some special amino acids in the medial vestibular nucleus (MVN) of rats are involved in the regulation of blood pressure, we used microdialysis technique and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to measure the changes of glutamate and taurine in this central
Human Papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) has a significant role in various cancers and Alzheimer's disease. 500 breast cancer mammograms as well as 3 cases of adenocarcinomas of esophagus, stomach, colon, prostate gland, uterus, ovary that was examined had significant infection of HPV- 16 with
BACKGROUND
Uncontrolled bacteria of dental plaque generate formation of oral biofilm located on teeth and subgingival surfaces. It may induce local inflammation (gingivitis) with further development of periodontal diseases. A variety of oral bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans and Porhyromonas
Taurine chloramine (TauCl) is produced by activated neutrophils in the inflammatory joint cavities of rheumatoid arthritis and is known to have anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects. However, the mechanisms underlying the anti-arthritic effect of TauCl have not been elucidated. Here, we
The current treatment for allergic rhinitis (AR) is inadequate.The present study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of taurine on AR and to identify the underlying molecular mechanisms.The serum level of the antioxidant In this study, in an animal model of zymosan-induced peritonitis we have tested anti-inflammatory properties of Taurolidine (TRD), a synthetic derivative of taurine. In vitro, the effect of TRD and HOCl treated TRD on peritoneal macrophages was compared with that of TauCl. We report that locally
Taurine chloramine (TauCl) is produced from taurine by the -myeloperoxidase-halide system in activated neutrophils via a stoichiometric reaction between taurine and HOCl. TauCl has been shown to provide cytoprotection against inflammatory tissue injury by inhibiting the overproduction of
Taurolidine (Taurolin) is a derivative of the amino acid taurine, successfully used in the treatment of peritonitis. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that taurolidine inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in a variety of tumor cell lines. At present there are no published studies
[31P]-Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in vivo spectra of Echinococcus multilocularis cysts growing subcutaneously in Meriones unguiculatus showed prominent signals due to phosphomonoesters (PME), phosphodiesters (PDE), inorganic phosphate (Pi) and the alpha, beta and gamma phosphate groups of
This work introduces a tunable mid-infrared (mid-IR) external cavity quantum cascade laser (EC-QCL) as a new molecular specific detector in liquid chromatography. An EC-QCL with a maximum tunability of 200 cm(-1) (1030-1230 cm(-1)) was coupled to isocratic high performance liquid chromatography
