Desensitization of the dopaminergic system in bovine retina following incubation with high potassium.

Activation of Inward Rectifier Potassium Channels in High Salt Impairment of Hydrogen Sulfide-Induced Aortic Relaxation in Rats

Introduction: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays a key role in the regulation of vascular tone and protection of blood vessels against endothelial dysfunction. Since the mechanism of salt impairing H2S-induced vascular relaxation is not fully clear, therefore this study was designed to investigate the role of potassium (K+) channels in the vasodilatory effects of exogenous H2S in rat aortic rings.&nb...

Improvement of Incubation Conditions, Buffer System and the Effect of Airflow on Kinetic Growth Rate of Theileria annulata Schizont Infected Bovine Myeloid Cell.

P-65: Effective Parameters on the Bovine Follicle Stimulating Hormone Expression in The Pichia Pastoris System

Background: Bovine follicle-stimulating hormone (bFSH) is a heterodimer hormone that consists of a common -subunit which noncovalently associated with the hormone-specific -subunit. During the past 15 years, the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris has become an important host organism for recombinant protein production because it is able to use methanol as a sole carbon and energy source. Th...

Solar Retinopathy Following Methamphetamine Abuse

Purpose: To report a case of solar retinopathy following methamphetamine (MA) abuse. Case report: A 37-years-old man was visited with sudden painless loss of vision in both eyes. He was addicted to methamphetamine for three years. He used MA at the day of admission. Excessive sun gazing (4 hours) took place due to using hallucinations secondary to the MA. Visual acuity was 15/400 Snellen chart ...

Successful Diflunisal Desensitization in a Transthyretin Amyloidosis Patient with NSAID Allergy: A Case Report

Introduction: Amyloid diseases have been known to be hereditary, including transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis where subunit protein mutations may occur in genes for TTR leading to the deposition of fibrils (low molecular weight subunits (5 to 25 kD) of proteins) in extracellular tissues. By reducing the formation of TTR amyloid, diflunisal, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), has shown ...
