The role of substance P in cerebral edema associated with rat and human infarction and contusion
… and that injured SP-containing perivascular nerve fibres are involved. A study which examined tissue obtained from rat models and human post mortem infarct and contusion tissue, demonstrated that in all the examined tissue, perivascular SP-IR was present in astrocytic processes rather than in …

Distribution and function of TRP ion channels in primary sensory neurons
… located on TRPV1-expressing primary sensory nerve fibres in peripheral tissues. However, we find no evidence of CB1 receptor immunoreactivity on nerve fibres in rat or mouse hindpaw skin and mesenteric artery. The CB1 receptor agonists anandamide and HU210 also fail to inhibit TRPV1-mediated …

Leveraging Modelling and Machine Learning for the Analysis of Curvilinear Structures in Medical Images
… anatomical structures such as corneal nerve fibres, suggesting that tortuosity changes might detect early stages of specific conditions. Currently, clinical studies are mainly based on subjective, visual assessment, with limited repeatability and inter-observer agreement.<br/><br/>In …

Studies in cholestrol metabolism
… with sphingomyelin, in the myelin sheaths of nerve fibres, where these lipids may have an insulating function necessary at least for saltatory conduction.

Anatomy, Histological Features, Innervation and Vascularity of the Glenoid Labrum
… studies have clearly demonstrated its blood and nerve supply.<br/><br/><b>Aims</b>: The aims of this study are: (I) identify the detailed blood supply of the glenoid labrum macroscopically and histologically; (II) evaluate the mode of the attachment of the glenoid labrum to the glenoid fossa …

An investigation into the involvement of cell adhesion molecules and perineurial cells in endogenous tissue repair following experimental spinal cord injury in the rat
… subsequently became associated with in-growing nerve fibres. Using double immunofluorescence, it was possible to identify Schwann cells and leptomeningeal cells contributing to the pattern of cell adhesion molecule expression within the lesion. Many of the regenerating nerve fibres entered the …

Neuropathology and sensitivity in the keratoconic cornea
… of the disease nor the visibility of the corneal nerve fibres. Lid margin touch thresholds (LTT) were investigated for the central position on the lower and upper eyelid margins. No statistical differences were found between keratoconic and normal eyes nor between upper and lower eyelid margins. …

Secretomotor substances in the rat lacrimal gland: Immunocytochemical functional and ligand binding studies
… have demonstrated the presence of peptidergic nerves, and the neuropeptide VIP is established as a lacrimal secretagogue, however the involvement ofother neurotransmitters in the control of lacrimal function remains unclear. Ageing has been suggested to be involved in one of the common …

Immunopathological and Structural Alterations in Difficult to Control Asthma
… muscle, neuroendocrine epithelial cells, and nerve fibres. In Paper IV, we show that bronchial thermoplasty treatment likewise has long-lasting immunological effects as evident by a reduction of key bronchial immune cells including mast cell populations and T helper cells. These changes may to …

Cerebro-spinal fever
… products of degeneration of the myelin of the nerve fibres, namely cholin and neurin. • All these factors are present in any one case, the varying pictures produced. depending on which. predominates. • Cases of Cerebro-spinal Fever may be classified into the following types : - 1. Fulminating …

The role of external non-rigid ankle bracing in the prevention of inversion injuries
… of inversion injuries by enhancing afferent nerve fibres in order to prematurely stimulate the protective peroneal muscles. Evidence indicates that it is more likely that the brace functions to limit motion by redistributing and supporting a proportion of the load experienced by the lateral …

The sophisticated architecture of the rat atrioventricular node
… not detected. Na1.3 labelling was restricted to nerve fibres and nerve cell bodies and was not detected in myocytes.Na1.3 labelling was abundant in the enclosed node and the common bundle, but much less abundant in other regions. Na1.4, the skeletal isoform, was not studied. Na1.5 labelling was …

Neuroendocrine regulation of broodiness in the domestic hen
… was greater in incubating than in laying hens. Nerve fibres containing VIP did not contact GnRH-I-ir cell bodies, but potential contact between those VIP and GnRJ-I-I fibres was seen in the median eminence. GnIH was localized in cells in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) in incubating and laying …

L'infiammazione intestinale nell'animale sperimentale come modello per lo sviluppo di nuovi farmaci: ruolo della via tachichininergica nelle malattie infiammatorie intestinali
… expressed in the extrinsic primary afferent nerve fibres and enteric neurons of the gut: they exert their action through three distinct receptors, termed NK1, NK2 and NK3. SP modulates intestinal motility and enteric secretion, acting preferentially through the NK1 receptor. SP neural network …

Orthodontic tooth movement and neurotrophins in the rat dento-alveolar complex.
… on the periodontal ligament, it is believed that nerve fibres and neuroreceptors within the tissue are distorted, leading to the release of neurotrophins and a common concomitant clinical response of pain and pressure. These neurotrophins may interact with cells within the dentoalveolar complex, …

Neural and Physical Niches Orchestrate Skeletal Remodelling and Promote Cartilage Regeneration
… by sympathetic noradrenergic and cholinergic nerve fibres. While several studies suggest the bone-catabolic nature of noradrenergic innervation in decreasing osteoblast activity and promoting osteoclastogenesis, there is little known on the development and function of skeletal cholinergic …
