The purpose of the present study was the synthesis and the biological screening of new analogues of N/OFQ(1-13)NH2, the minimal sequence maintaining the same activity as the natural peptide nociceptin. In order to investigate the role of Lys, we substituted Lys at positions 9 and/or 13 by Orn, Dab (diaminobutanoic acid) or Dap (diaminopropanoic acid). The new N/OFQ(1-13)NH2 analogues exerted strong and naloxone-resistant inhibition of electrically evoked contractions of rat vas deferens. Lys replacement with Orn maintained or even enhanced the inhibitory activity, while replacements with Dab and Dap decreased inhibitory activity. 相似文献

Heparan sulfate (HS) glycosaminoglycans are essential modulators of
fibroblast growth factor (FGF) activity both in vivo and in vitro, and
appear to act by cross-linking particular forms of FGF to appropriate FGF
receptors. We have recently isolated and characterized two separate HS
pools derived from immortalized embryonic day 10 mouse neuroepithelial 2.3D
cells: one from cells in log growth phase, which greatly potentiates the
activity of FGF-2, and the other from cells undergoing contact-inhibition
and differentiation, which preferentially activates FGF-1. These two pools
of HS have very similar functional activities to those species isolated
from primary neuroepithelial cells at corresponding stages of active
proliferation or differentiation. We present here a structural comparison
between these cell line HS species to establish the nature of the changes
that occur in the biosynthesis of HS. A combination of chemical and
enzymatic cleavage, low pressure chromatography and strong anion-exchange
HPLC were used to generate full chain models of each species. Overall, the
HS pools synthesized in the dividing cell line pools possessed less complex
sulfation than those derived from more differentiated, growth arrested
cells.

Java language has been demonstrated to be an effective tool in supporting medical image viewing in Russia. This evaluation was completed by obtaining a maximum of 20 images, depending on the client's computer workstation from one patient using a commercially available computer tomography (CT) scanner. The images were compared against standard CT images that were viewed at the site of capture. There was no appreciable difference. The client side is a lightweight component that provides an intuitive interface for end users. Each image is loaded in its own thread and the user can begin work after the first image has been loaded. This feature is especially useful on slow connection speed, 9.6 Kbps for example. The server side, which is implemented by the Java Servlet Engine works more effective than common gateway interface (CGI) programs do. Advantages of the Java Technology place this program on the next level of application development. This paper presents a unique application of Java in telemedicine. 相似文献

Autologous disc cell implantation, growth factors and gene therapy appear to be promising therapies for disc regeneration. Unfortunately, the replicative lifespan and growth kinetics of human nucleus pulposus (NP) cells related to host age are unclear. We investigated the potential relations among age, replicative lifespan and growth rate of NP cells, and determined the age range that is suitable for cell-based biological therapies for degenerative disc diseases. We used NP tissues classified by decade into five age groups: 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. The mean cumulative population doubling level (PDL) and population doubling rate (PDR) of NP cells were assessed by decade. We also investigated correlations between cumulative PDL and age, and between PDR and age. The mean cumulative PDL and PDR decreased significantly in patients in their 60s. The mean cumulative PDL and PDR in the younger groups (30s, 40s and 50s) were significantly higher than those in the older groups (60s and 70s). There also were significant negative correlations between cumulative PDL and age, and between PDR and age. We found that the replicative lifespan and growth rate of human NP cells decreased with age. The replicative potential of NP cells decreased significantly in patients 60 years old and older. Young individuals less than 60 years old may be suitable candidates for NP cell-based biological therapies for treating degenerative disc diseases. 相似文献
