Physiological studies on functionally identified myenteric neurons are scarce because of technical limitations. We combined retrograde labeling, cell culturing, and fluorescent intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) signaling to study excitatory neurotransmitter responsiveness of myenteric motor neurons. 1, 1-Didodecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethyl indocarbocyanine (DiI) was used to label cir...

Inflammation is an underlying pathophysiological process in chronic diseases, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. In fact, a number of systematic reviews have shown the association between inflammatory biomarkers, such as CRP, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-4, or IL-10, and cardio-metabolic diseases. Diet is one of the main lifestyle-related factors which modulates the...

This paper presents an (innnite dimensional) geometric framework for control system, based on innnite jet bundles, where a system is represented by a single vector eld and dynamic equivalence (to be precise : equivalence by endogenous dynamic feedback) is conjugation by diieomorphisms. These diieomorphisms are very much related to Lie-BB acklund transformations. It is proved in this framework t...

Examination of repaired spinal cord tracts has usually required separate groups of animals for anterograde and retrograde tracing owing to the incompatibility of techniques such as tissue fixation. However, anterograde and retrograde labeling of different animals subjected to the same repair may not allow accurate examination of that repair strategy because widely variable results can occur in ...

Stimulation of the noradrenergic nucleus locus coeruleus (LC) releases norepinephrine in the spinal cord, which inhibits dorsal horn neurons and produces analgesia. Activation of this descending noradrenergic pathway also contributes to the analgesic action produced by systemic opioids. The delta-opioid receptors are present presynaptically in the LC. However, their functional role in the contr...

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be used to treat premature ovarian failure (POF). Different methods have already been applied to detect MSCs in tissues. This study aimed to investigate the quantitative distribution of CM-DiI-labeled human umbilical cord vein MSCs (hUCV-MSCs) in different regions of the ovarian tissue of the cyclophosphamide ( CTX )-induced POF in mice. Methods: Ad...

Large eddy simulation (LES) of the Martian convective boundary layer (CBL) with a Mars-adapted version Weather Research and Forecasting model is used to examine impact aerosol dust radiative-dynamical feedbacks on turbulent mixing. The LES validated against spacecraft observations prior modeling. To study redistribution by coherent dynamical structures within CBL, two radiatively active distrib...

Apesar de não estarem bem elucidadas as causas das Doenças Inflamatórias Intestinais (DII) sabe-se que os hábitos vida têm relação com o seu desenvolvimento. Nesse contexto, verifica-se alguns alimentos apresentam melhora ou piora no quadro da doença, acordo a fase em paciente se encontra, pode ser: aguda, crônica remissiva. Então, quais são parâmetros para elaborar um plano alimentar adequado?...

The Defense Information Infrastructure (DII) connects Department of Defense (DoD) mission support, command and control, and intelligence computers and users through voice, data, imagery, video, and multimedia services, and provides information processing and value-added services. For such a critical infrastructure to effectively mitigate risk, optimize its security posture and evaluate its info...

Objective: The dietary inflammatory index (DII) is an that examines the effects of components on serum pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory indicators. aim this study was to examine relationship between potential, eating attitude appetite students Department Nutrition Dietetics.
 Method: Questions including sociodemographic characteristics nutritional status, EAT-40 evaluate attitudes, S...
