Cui, Jian, Satoshi Iwase, Tadaaki Mano, and Hiroki Kitazawa. Responses of sympathetic outflow to skin during caloric stimulation in humans. Am. J. Physiol. 276 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 45): R738–R744, 1999.—We previously showed that caloric vestibular stimulation elicits increases in sympathetic outflow to muscle (MSNA) in humans. The present study was conducted to determine the e...

Hayward, Linda F., and Robert B. Felder. Electrophysiological properties of rat lateral parabrachial neurons in vitro. Am. J. Physiol. 276 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 45): R696–R706, 1999.—Anatomical studies have demonstrated that the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN) is composed of at least seven separate subnuclei distinguished by cell morphology, spatial clustering, and afferent...

Laboratory-bred females of Culex quinquefasciatus, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus from the insectarium, Unit of Medical Entomology, Institute for Medical Research were used in the experiment. The late third stage of the F0 larvae which survived the high selection pressure of malathion, permethrin and temephos were reared and colonies were established from adults that emerged. Cx. quinquefas...

BACKGROUND Disturbances in the expression or structure of E-cadherin-catenin, a cell-cell adhesion complex, perturb its cell adhesive function. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied the expression and distribution of the E-cadherin-catenin complex in 24 adenocarcinomas of the gastro-oesophageal junction (GOJ) by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting of the Triton X-100-soluble (membrane bound)...

The ability of antibiotic resistant E. faecalis and E. faecium isolated from food to form biofilm at different temperatures in the absence or presence of 0.75% glucose was evaluated. A synergistic effect on biofilm at 10 °C, 28 °C, 37 °C and 45 °C and glucose was observed for E. faecalis and E. faecium.

Bewick, N. L., C. Fernandes, A. D. Pitt, H. H. Rasmussen, and D. W. Whalley. Mechanisms of Na1-K1 pump regulation in cardiac myocytes during hyposmolar swelling. Am. J. Physiol. 276 (Cell Physiol. 45): C1091–C1099, 1999.—We have previously demonstrated that the sarcolemmal Na1-K1 pump current (Ip) in cardiac myocytes is stimulated by cell swelling induced by exposure to hyposmolar solutions. Ho...

Braam, Branko. Renal endothelial and macula densa NOS: integrated response to changes in extracellular fluid volume. Am. J. Physiol. 276 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 45): R1551–R1561, 1999.—If, only 20 years ago, anyone had postulated that the absence of nitric oxide gas (NO) would lead to severe hypertension and destruction of the vascular bed of the kidney within weeks, it is not un...

Kriston, Tünde, Rocco C. Venuto, Christine Baylis, and György Losonczy. Hemodynamic and renal effects of U-46619, a TXA2/PGH2 analog, in late-pregnant rats. Am. J. Physiol. 276 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 45): R831–R837, 1999.—The vasoconstrictor effects of pressor agents are attenuated during pregnancy. Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) is produced in great quantities during hypertension in pre...
