Human red blood cells at work: identification and visualization of erythrocytic eNOS activity in health and disease

, 2012
A nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-like activity has been demonstrated in human red blood cells (RBCs), but doubts about its functional significance, isoform identity and disease relevance remain.

Identification of bioactive compounds and molecular targets of Fuke Huahuang formulation to treat vaginitis

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Fuke Huahuang formulation (FHF) is used to treat vaginitis, and it exerts a promising anti‐inflammatory effect in clinical use. However, the detailed components and mechanisms of FHF for treating vaginitis remain unreported, and further preclinical evaluation is required to reveal its potential pharmacological activities against vaginitis.

Radial Type Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy Enhances Penile Microvascular Perfusion in an Aging Rat Model: A Novel Interventional Strategy to Treat Erectile Dysfunction

The World Journal of Men's Health
Purpose: Physiological aging is associated with microvascular dysfunction, including in the penis, and this may contribute to age-related erectile dysfunction (ED). Low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) is a non-invasive intervention

The endothelial glycocalyx prefers albumin for evoking shear stress-induced, nitric oxide-mediated coronary dilatation [PDF]

, 2007
Background: Shear stress induces coronary dilatation via production of nitric oxide ( NO). This should involve the endothelial glycocalyx ( EG). A greater effect was expected of albumin versus hydroxyethyl starch ( HES) perfusion, because albumin seals ...

Management of hypotension in dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker overdose: The role of high‐dose insulin therapy

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Amlodipine poisoning is a leading cause of cardiovascular medication‐related deaths, commonly managed with high‐dose insulin (HDI) therapy. However, HDI is a vasodilator that is counterproductive in managing vasoplegia. We aim to study HDI therapy in patients with hypotension following dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist (CCA) overdose ...

Angiotensin-(1-7) and angiotensin-(1-9): function in cardiac and vascular remodeling [PDF]

, 2014
The renin angiotensin system (RAS) is integral to cardiovascular physiology, however, dysregulation of this system largely contributes to the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

The effect of sodium nitroprusside in scaffolds for synergetic gas‐photothermal therapy of osteosarcoma

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The PCLA‐SNP scaffolds can produce photothermal agents in situ under ultraviolet radiation. Then, the scaffold can release nitric oxide gas spontaneously and generate hyperthermia under near‐infrared laser to enhance ablation of bone tumors. Furthermore, the calcium and iron ions released from PCLA‐SNP scaffolds can accelerate bone regeneration ...
