Receptor affinity and drug delivery to the receptor sites could be determinant factors for the increased bronchial responsiveness seen in asthma. Competitive antagonism blockade which is measured as dose ratio-l (DR-I) depends only on these two factors. Therefore, in this study we have examined histamine HI blockade by chlorpheniramine on isolated tracheal chains of asthmatic compared to co...

BACKGROUND Outcomes of patients undergoing cavopulmonary palliation for single ventricle physiology may be impacted by living at altitude, as the passive pulmonary circulation is dependent on the resistance of the pulmonary vascular bed. The objective of this study is to identify risk factors for failure of cavopulmonary palliation at elevated altitude. METHODS AND RESULTS Between January 199...

The gamma tool was developed to quantitatively compare dose distributions, either measured or calculated. Before computing gamma, the dose and distance scales of the two distributions, referred to as evaluated and reference, are renormalized by dose and distance criteria, respectively. The renormalization allows the dose distribution comparison to be conducted simultaneously along dose and dist...

The effect of the nonsteroidal antiestrogen tamoxifen on carbachol (CCh)-triggered intracellular Ca2+ surges was determined in granulosa cells from the two largest preovulatory follicles of laying hens. The intracellular calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]i) was measured in cells loaded with the Ca(2+)-responsive fluorescent dye fura-2. Resting [Ca2+]i was 96 +/- 5 nM (n = 20), and CCh (1 mM) tri...
