Improving ischaemic skin revascularisation by nerve growth factor in a child with crush syndrome.
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is the first described neurotrophin that stimulates the growth and differentiation of nerve cells and promotes skin and peripheral tissue regeneration. Recent studies suggest that NGF influences endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenic activity. In view of these proposed regenerative effects, we evaluated the efficacy of subcutaneous administration of highly purif...
متن کاملCo-expression of recombinant human nerve growth factor with trigger factor chaperone in E. coli
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a neurotrophic factor that is functional in the survival, maintenance and differentiation of nervous system cells. This protein has three subunits, of which the beta subunit has the main activity. Its structure consists of a cysteine knot motif made up of beta strands linked by disulfide bonds. It can be used as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of many diseases....
متن کاملExogenous nerve growth factor protects the hypoglossal nerve against crush injury.
Studies have shown that sensory nerve damage can activate the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, but whether the same type of nerve injury after exercise activates the p38MAPK pathway remains unclear. Several studies have demonstrated that nerve growth factor may play a role in the repair process after peripheral nerve injury, but there has been little research focusing on the...
متن کاملUrinary nerve growth factor in women with overactive bladder syndrome.
OBJECTIVE • To measure urinary nerve growth factor (NGF) in women with overactive bladder (OAB)-dry and OAB-wet and investigate the association of urinary NGF expression with these factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS • Differentiation between OAB-wet and OAB-dry was based on symptoms and a 3-day voiding diary. • Urinary NGF levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). • The ur...
متن کاملFibroblast Growth Factor-1 vs. Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 in Ischemic Skin Flap Survival in a Rat Animal Model
BACKGROUND One of the main challenges in skin flap surgery is tissue ischemia and following necrosis. The present study compares the effects of fibroblast growth factors 1 and 2 on increasing cutaneous vasculature, improving ischemia, and preventing distal necrosis in ischemic skin flaps in rat model. METHODS Thirty rats were allocated into 3 groups (n=10) and 2×8 cm dorsal rando...
