Purpose: Studies involving mouse models and human uterine smooth muscle cells have shown that phenylephrine inhibits uterine contractions in non-pregnant mice and human in vitro cell via cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling. However, there has

Tetrahydrobiopterin analogues with NO-dependent pulmonary vasodilator properties [PDF]
Reduced NO levels due to the deficiency of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) contribute to impaired vasodilation in pulmonary hypertension Due to the chemically unstable nature of BH4 it was hypothesised that oxidatively stable analogues of BR, would be able to ...

Pathologic gene network rewiring implicates PPP1R3A as a central regulator in pressure overload heart failure [PDF]
Heart failure is a leading cause of mortality, yet our understanding of the genetic interactions underlying this disease remains incomplete. Here, we harvest 1352 healthy and failing human hearts directly from transplant center operating rooms, and ...

A selective alpha1D-adrenoreceptor antagonist inhibits human prostate cancer cell proliferation and motility "in vitro" [PDF]
The progression of prostate cancer (PC) to a metastatic hormone refractory disease is the major contributor to the overall cancer mortality in men, mainly because the conventional therapies are generally ineffective at this stage. Thus, other therapeutic

Conduction of activity between muscles in the terminal region of the common bile duct and in the neighboring duodenum [PDF]
The relationship between muscle activity at the terminal region of the common bile duct and the duodenal muscle was examined in rabbits. The rhythmic muscle activity in the terminal region was synchronous with duodenal muscle activity.

Comparing the effect of hypotension treatment due to spinal anesthesia with ephedrine or phenylephrine on arterial blood gases and neonatal Apgar score during cesarean delivery in obese mothers: randomized clinical trial [PDF]
Introduction: Hypertension in obese patients is more affected by spinal anesthesia than normal people. Due to the lack of study and recommendation of articles about comparison of ephedrine and phenylephrine in obese patients during cesarean section, this

A polymer coated cicaprost-eluting stent increases neointima formation and impairs vessel function in the rabbit iliac artery [PDF]
Drug-eluting stents have been successful in reducing in-stent restenosis but are not suitable for all lesion types and have been implicated in causing late stent thrombosis due to incomplete regeneration of the endothelial cell layer.

Modulation of Neurally Mediated Vasodepression and Bradycardia by Electroacupuncture through Opioids in Nucleus Tractus Solitarius. [PDF]
Stimulation of vagal afferent endings with intravenous phenylbiguanide (PBG) causes both bradycardia and vasodepression, simulating neurally mediated syncope.
