The p47phox mouse knock-out model of chronic granulomatous disease
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is caused by a congenital defect in phagocyte reduced nicotinamide dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase production of superoxide and related species. It is characterized by recurrent life-threatening bacterial and fungal infections and tissue granuloma formation. We have created a mouse model of CGD by targeted disruption of p47phox, one of the genes in whi...
متن کاملRectal Stenosis: A Rare Anorectal Malformation
A 2-day-old male baby presented with abdominal distension and failure to pass meconium. The perineal examination revealed normally placed patent anus. A rectal examination with thermometer revealed a resistance at 2-3cm from the anal verge. A contrast enema was given to document the suspicion of rectal atresia. The contrast enema revealed a 2cm long stenosis of the rectum opening abruptly into ...
متن کاملInvestigation of olfactory function in a Panx1 knock out mouse model
Pannexin 1 (Panx1), the most extensively investigated member of a channel-forming protein family, is able to form pores conducting molecules up to 1.5 kDa, like ATP, upon activation. In the olfactory epithelium (OE), ATP modulates olfactory responsiveness and plays a role in proliferation and differentiation of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). This process continuously takes place in the OE, a...
متن کاملKnock-out models reveal new aquaporin functions.
Knockout mice have been informative in the discovery of unexpected biological functions of aquaporins. Knockout mice have confirmed the predicted roles of aquaporins in transepithelial fluid transport, as in the urinary concentrating mechanism and glandular fluid secretion. A less obvious, though predictable role of aquaporins is in tissue swelling under stress, as in the brain in stroke, tumor...
متن کاملPerirectal block for out-patient anorectal surgery: a new technique.
INTRODUCTION Perirectal block using four puncture places has been classically described for rectal surgery. OBJECTIVE This paper was aimed at showing the quality of anesthesia and postoperative analgesia using a new two-puncture-site technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients scheduled for ambulatory rectal surgery between January/2003 and December/2007 were included consecutively. The new t...
