A role for the small G protein rho and rho-kinase has been shown in smooth muscle contraction regarding Ca++ sensitivity. However, there are no data in the literature assessing how this system operates in human umbilical arteries
(HUA). Therefore, we evaluated the effects of HA-1077 and Y-27632, two rho-kinase inhibitors, on agonist-(5-hydroxytryptamine
[5-HT]) and depolarization-induced (KCl) contractions of HUA. HA-1077 and Y-27632 inhibited 5-HT-induced contractile responses

M also significantly attenuated contractions induced by 20 mM KCl. In addition, HUA precontracted with 5-HT relaxed concentration dependently in response to HA-1077 and Y-27632. When
precontracted with KCl, HUA also relaxed dose-dependently in response to HA-1077, but the maximal relaxation was significantly
smaller than the response obtained when precontracted with 5-HT. To determine possible involvement of rho-kinase on agonist-induced
intracellular calcium-mediated contractions, tissues were precontracted with 5-HT in Ca++-free Krebs solution before cumulative addition of HA-1077 or Y-27632 (10−7 to 10−4
M). Both rho-kinase inhibitors relaxed HUA completely. Maximum relaxations of HUA to HA-1077 and Y-27632 were significantly
larger than the responses seen in normal Krebs solution and were obtained with lower concentrations of the drugs considered
to be more specific for rho-kinase inhibition. However, preincubation of HUA with HA-1077 or Y-27632 (10−5
M for both) did not affect the 5-HT-induced contractions in this medium. Finally, immunoblot experiments revealed the expression
of rho-kinase isoform rockII protein in HUA. These results indicate that rhoA/rho-kinase pathway can contribute to agonist-induced
contractions of HUA. However, this effect appears to be limited to intracellular calcium-induced contractions and may be more
important in sustaining contractions rather than the initial phase of force development. 相似文献

In the present work, spectroscopic, kinetic and dosimetric features of the radicalic intermediates produced after gamma irradiation
at room temperature of solid triclosan (2,4,4-trichloro-2-hydroxydiphenyl ether; TCS) were investigated by means of electron
spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) at various temperatures. The same material was also irradiated with UV light, and an ESR
spectrum very similar to that obtained for gamma-irradiated TCS, was recorded. The ESR spectrum of TCS is characterized by
an unresolved doublet with resonance lines split into other doublets. An evaluation technique based on variations of four
assigned peak-to-peak amplitudes and signal intensity was adopted, to monitor the evolution of the spectrum under different
experimental conditions. Radicals of one type were proposed to be created upon irradiation exhibiting decays via intra-track
and inter-track recombination reactions with activation energies of 43 ± 2 and 139 ± 6 kJ/mol, respectively. A radical exhibiting
axial g anisotropy and interacting with two un-equivalent protons was found to describe the experimental spectrum well. The sensitivity
of TCS to gamma radiation was high (G = 0.12) suggesting TCS to be a suitable dosimetric material in measuring normal and accidental radiation doses in the range
of (1–25 kGy). 相似文献

AbstractIn this study, three Bacillus sp.-producing amylase enzymes were isolated from soil samples and identified using 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Amylase production and total protein productions were spectrophotometrically measured. The following media were tested to increase enzyme production: LB medium and molasses. Three Bacillus sp. were identified as follows: Bacillus subtilis subtilis, Bacillus thuringiensis, and Bacillus cereus. Amylase production levels were in the range of 10?U/mL, whereas total protein production levels were at 15?mg/mL. Higher amylase activity was found in the Bacillus subtilis isolate. Ethylmethane sulfonate (EMS) and ultraviolet (UV) mutagenesis in combination were applied to compare amylase production. Amylase activity was increased to around 58% in the treatment with 0.03?mL of EMS and UV when compared to the control group. A pilot scale bioreactor with a total working volume of 10 liters was used to produce amylase by B. subtilis subtilis. In conclusion, B. subtilis subtilis can be used to produce amylase enzyme for various industrial purposes, and, for the first time, the amylase activities of B. subtilis can be enhanced with EMS and UV treatment. 相似文献

Cephinae is traditionally divided into three tribes and about 24 genera based on morphology and host utilization. There has been no study testing the monophyly of taxa under a strict phylogenetic criterion. A molecular phylogeny of Cephinae based on a total of 68 sequences of mtDNA COI gene, representing seven genera of Cephinae, is reconstructed to test the traditional limits and relationships of taxa. Monophyly of the traditional tribes is not supported. Monophyly of the genera are largely supported except for Pachycephus. A few host shift events are suggested based on phylogenetic relationships among taxa. These results indicate that a more robust phylogeny is required for a more plausible conclusion. We also report two species of Cephus for the first time from Turkey. 相似文献

Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment is based on the principle of having the patient breath 100% oxygen in an environment above atmospheric pressure. Ozone (O(3)) is a colourless gas with a specific odour and consists of three oxygen atoms. The classical scientific understanding is that the world has become a place suitable for life for aerobic organisms with the increasing oxygen in the atmosphere billions of years ago. The formation of ozone after oxygen has then protected aerobic creatures from harmful rays. We now use these two gases for treatment purposes. It is noteworthy that the oxygen and ozone molecules that are formed by the same atom in different numbers are used for similar medical indications. We will try to emphasize the similarities and differences of HBO and medical ozone applications in this article. 相似文献
