Antithrombin reduces shedding of the endothelial glycocalyx following ischaemia/reperfusion.
AIMS Antithrombin is an important inhibitor of the coagulation system, additionally exerting specific anti-inflammatory effects on endothelial cells. Healthy vascular endothelium is coated by the endothelial glycocalyx, diminution of which increases capillary permeability, e.g. after ischaemia. Antithrombin is known to infiltrate the glycocalyx, binding to glycosaminoglycans, and to preserve th...
متن کاملToxoplasma gondii genomics: shedding light on pathogenesis and chemotherapy.
The parasitic protozoan Toxoplasma gondii and its relatives (e.g. Plasmodium spp., which cause malaria) constitute a major global health problem. In recent years, the elucidation of biological processes in these parasites has accelerated with the application of genetic and genomic methodologies. Genetic analyses in T. gondii have revealed a remarkably stable 87 Mb (megabase) nuclear genome cons...
متن کاملShedding Light on Light*
There are four books describing early studies and views on light, optics and vision that are considered to be landmarks in this branch of science. The first of these is Euclid’s Optica, published about 300BC, in which he postulated that light travelled in straight lines; he described the laws of reflection and described them mathematically. The second is by Ptolemy. He is best known for his 15 ...
متن کاملDexamethasone Suppressed LPS-Induced Matrix Metalloproteinase and Its Effect on Endothelial Glycocalyx Shedding
The aim of this study is to determine the mechanism of sepsis-induced vascular hyperpermeability and the beneficial effect of glucocorticoid in protecting vascular endothelium. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given either a bolus intraperitoneal injection of a nonlethal dose of LPS (Escherichia coli 055:B5, 10 mg/kg, Sigma) or vehicle (pyrogen-free water). Animals of treatment groups were also gi...
متن کاملShedding light on NSOM.
I took patience and hard work. Now, finally, researchers are seeing some sunshine break through what was once a cloudy beginning for near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM). Paul Barbara of the University of Texas–Austin (UT– Austin) is among a group of analytical chemists who have a deep respect for this tool and see it as a technique ripe with potential, ranging from chemistry to physic...
