Nitric oxide (NO) is an important mediator of biological functions. Absence or shortage of NO plays a role in the pathogenesis of both hypertrophic pyloric stenosis and persistent pulmonary hypertension. We present a neonate diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension after birth caused by
BACKGROUND
The aim was to identify susceptibility alleles for infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) in a pedigree previously linked to IHPS5 on chromosome 16q24.
METHODS
We screened the positional and functional candidate gene FOXF1 by Sanger sequencing in a single affected individual. All
The concentration of 21 amino acids was measured in the venous plasma of 41 patients with cancer of the gastrointestinal tract who had lost weight, 12 patients who had lost a similar amount of weight from non-malignant, non-septic conditions (benign weight loss), 12 patients with cancer of the
Administration of the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) during pregnancy has been shown to compromise fetal growth. This study was designed to determine whether aminoguanidine, a predominate inhibitor of inducible NOS, affects fetal outcome. In
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects of enteral hormones on pyloric muscle in order to clarify the etiopathogenesis of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS).
METHODS
Forty-two newborn Wistar-Albino rats were included. No intervention was done in the control group (CG, n=6). In the sham group (SG, n=6)
The relaxation mechanism of the pyloric smooth muscle is largely dependent on a nonadrenergic noncholinergic (NANC) inhibitory innervation mediated in part by nitric oxide (NO). The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of NO antagonists on the contractility of the pyloric smooth
Nitric oxide (NO) is a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator in the central nervous system, but this small labile substance also seems to serve as a peripheral neurotransmitter. Abundant evidence is now available that NO, synthesized from L-arginine by NO synthase (NOS), is a nonadrenergic
Modern molecular biology has revealed vast numbers of large and complex proteins and genes that regulate body function. By contrast, discoveries over the past ten years indicate that crucial features of neuronal communication, blood vessel modulation and immune response are mediated by a remarkably
