Transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1(TRPV1) is a ligand gated calcium channel expressed by sensory neurons which mediates neurogenic inflammatory response. Substance p which can be released following exposure to capsaicin is a TRPV1 inducer, shown to have altered concentration and function in m...
متن کاملDifferences in sex distribution, anatomic location and MR imaging appearance of pediatric compared to adult chordomas

We compared the imaging appearance, demographic and anatomic distributions of adult and pediatric chordomas in a large cohort. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of medical records of 220 subjects with histologically confirmed chordomas of the axial skeleton and pre-tre...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA damage is associated with damage accrual and disease duration in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
OBJECTIVE To determine the extent of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients compared to healthy subjects and to determine the factors associated with mtDNA damage among SLE patients. METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed in 86 SLE patients (per American College of Rheumatology classification criteria) and 86 healthy individuals matched for age ...
متن کاملLack of partial renal response by 12 weeks after induction therapy predicts poor renal response and systemic damage accrual in lupus nephritis class III or IV
