NADPH diaphorase histochemical protocols were optimized for the histochemical labeling of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) in the nasal cavity and their axon terminals in glomeruli of the main olfactory bulb (MOB) in the Syrian hamster. This labeling was then used to map and quantify the spatial
Fetal frontal cortex from 18-d-old embryonic rat brain was transplanted into cavities of juvenile host motor/sensory cortex. Two to seven months later, sections were reacted for NADPH-diaphorase (NADPH-d) enzyme histochemistry. NADPH-d-positive neurons survived in 11 of 13 grafts. All but one of the
Despite extensive interest in the rodent nasal cavity as a target organ for toxicity, there is very limited information regarding nasal defenses against oxidative stress and xenobiotic-derived oxidants. Using immunohistochemistry, we have examined the distribution of Cu,Zn and Mn superoxide
Inflammatory changes in the dental pulp are accompanied by release of a wide variety of chemical mediators. Nitric oxide, an oxidative free radical produced by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS), has been implicated in multiple inflammatory processes, which makes it a suitable marker for changes
The aim of this study was to describe the anatomic distribution of neuronal nitric oxide synthase immunoreactivity (nNOS-IR) and nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate-diaphorase (NADPH-d) staining in the olfactory epithelium of the axolotl, juvenile, and neotenic adult, Ambystoma mexicanum.
Fetal frontal cortex transplants that survived 2-9 months in cavities in adult rat motor/sensory cortex were processed for vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), somatostatin 14 (SS), and neuropeptide Y (NPY) immunocytochemistry, and NADPH-diaphorase (NADPH-d) histochemistry. All transplants had
Human African trypanosomiasis, Chagas disease, and leishmaniasis are human infections caused by kinetoplastid parasites of the genera Trypanosoma and Leishmania. Besides their severity and global impact, treatments are still challenging. Currently available drugs have important limitations,
OBJECTIVE
To study the production of nitric oxide (NO), and the presence of different isoforms of the NO-synthesising enzyme, NO-synthase (NOS), in the paranasal sinus.
METHODS
Ten patients, undergoing surgery for pituitary adenoma, were examined for the presence of NO gas in the sphenoidal and
Choroid plexuses (CPs) play pivotal roles in many processes that establish, survey, and maintain the biochemical and cellular status of the central nervous system (CNS). Changes in the anatomy and physiology of CPs have been linked to several CNS diseases. However, CP structure and function are not
Nitric oxide synthase is a useful maker for nitric oxide's scope. Localized by either NADPH-diaphorase histochemistry or immunohistochemical methods, most nitric oxide synthase activity in the normal heart is present in endothelium along the extensive network of arteries, veins and capillaries
A thermal balloon and control system designed to produce endometrial ablation blindly is described. A latex balloon on a plastic catheter is inserted into the uterus and connected to a control unit. The unit monitors the pressure and temperature of 5% dextrose in water, which has been injected into
Oral cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, and India has recorded the highest annual incidence of oral cancer in comparison with other countries. Altered lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status along with defect in detoxification cascade have been implicated in the pathogenesis
Transforming growth factors beta (TGF-beta), a family of pleiotropic cytokines, are widely distributed in the developing and adult nervous system. In order to further determine the neural functions of TGF-beta, we have localized the TGF-beta isoforms 1, 2 and 3 in the adult rat adrenal medulla and
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the thermal effects on tissue structures during microwave endometrial ablation (MEA) and seek a feasible method of endometrial thinning and a fitting mode of applicator radiating microwaves.
METHODS
Operations were performed between the group of thorough uterine curettage
The distribution and origin of cerebrovascular nitrergic nerves were studied immunohistochemically and histochemically in the bent-winged bat. The supply of nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-immunoreactive (IR) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate diaphorase (NADPHd)-positive nerves to the bat
