Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is a factor associated with normal development and physiology of the nervous, cardiovascular, immune, reproductive, and musculoskeletal systems in higher vertebrates. It also stimulates whole body calcium uptake in sea bream (Sparus auratus) larvae with an estimated 60% coming from intestinal uptake in seawater. The present study investigated the role...

serosal n-butyric acid (O, O,1, 1, or 1O mmollL, adjusted to neutral pH) on the epithelial cell proliferation rate of pig colonic mucosa in organ culture taking crypt cell production rate (CCPR) as the measure of proliferative activity With O or O.1 mmolfL n-butyric acid on the serosal side, luminal n-butyric acid increased CCPR at 1,O mmol/L, and decreased CCPR at 1O mmollL when compared to th...

Endometrial stromal sarcoma, a rare disease, accounts for approximately 0.2％ of all types uterine malignancies. The disease may be difficult to differentiate from the benign one using preoperative imaging and histological diagnosis. We report case patient who underwent robot-assisted surgery adenomyosis was diagnosed with low-grade endometrial sarcoma. She additional laparoscopic initial surgic...

Endometriosis is an enigmatic painful disorder whose pain symptoms remain difficult to alleviate in large part because the disorder is defined by extrauteral endometrial growths whose contribution to pain is poorly understood. A rat model (ENDO) involves autotransplanting on abdominal arteries uterine segments that grow into vascularized cysts that become innervated with sensory and sympathetic...

introduction: heterotype pregnancy has been defined as coexistence of intrauterine and ectopic pregnancy. coexistence of intrauterine and ovarian pregnancy is rare and often occurs in women who use intra-uterine device (iud) or women under assisted reproductive technology. we report a case who presented abdominal pain and an adenexal mass in ultrasound scanning. post-operative diagnosis was coe...

BACKGROUND To analyse risk factors that influence the recurrence of endometrioma after laparoscopic excision. METHODS A total of 224 patients who had a minimum of 2 years of post-operative follow-up after laparoscopic ovarian endometrioma excision were studied retrospectively. Recurrence was defined as the presence of endometrioma more than 2 cm in size, detected by ultrasonography within 2 y...

The present studies probe the role of Ca2+ and Na+ in the stimulation-permeability coupling sequences by which antidiuretic hormone (ADH) induces a cyclic AMP (cAMP)-mediated increase in urea permeability in toad urinary bladder. The following results were obtained: (a) Removal of mucosal Na+ or Ca2+ or deletion of serosal Ca2+ did not modify ADH action. (b) Reduction of the serosal Na+ concent...

Acidification of the luminal solution by the isolated turtle bladder involves H(+) secretion by a pump at the luminal membrane. The OH(-) dissociated in this process reacts with CO(2) and forms HCO(3) (-) which moves passively out of the cell across the serosal cell membrane. In the present study, this exit step for HCO(3) (-) was inhibited by serosal addition of the disulfonic stilbene, SITS, ...

Mesothelia in the adult vertebrate are the simple squamous epithelia covering all coelomic organs and body cavities. Until recently, analysis of the generation and differentiative potential of mesothelia in organogenesis has largely focused on development of visceral mesothelium of the heart; the epicardium and its progenitor, the proepicardium. Here, we review emerging data on the development ...
