Nitrosative stress plays a role in calcium oxalate stone formation, as nitrosated proteins have been identified in stone formers. Nitric oxide (NO(*)), the common precursor for reactive nitrogen species, is synthesized in the juxtaglomerular apparatus of the kidneys. The present study is aimed to

To date few reports have discussed the presence and function of nitric oxide (NO) in structures of the facial nerve. We performed nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH-d)-diaphorase-histochemistry and immunohistochemistry on the intratemporal portion of the facial nerve, including the

BACKGROUND Continuing research ex vivo and in vivo with animal models is performed to advance the oncological safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of liver tumors. In these experiments, frequently imaging modalities (e.g. MRI or CT) or macro-morphological measurements are used to determine the

Objectives: Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) is used to monitor technical success immediately after hepatic microwave ablation (MWA). However, it remains unclear, if CECT shows the exact extend of the thermal destruction zone, or if tissue changes such as peri-lesionary edema are

OBJECTIVE Postoperative dysphagia is a well-recognized complication of the anterior surgical approach to the cervical spine. However, its incidence and etiology remain unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of automatic retractor use on the esophagus and to describe the related

The aims of this work were to evaluate the effects of the deficient ingestion of protein and vitamin B on the biochemical and hematologic parameters and on the NADH- and NADPH-diaphorase positive myenteric neurons. The control animals (n=10) received commercial chow and the experimental rats (n=10)

Using histological, morphometric, histochemical and immunocytochemical methods, the effect of cytotoxic treatment on structural and functional characteristics of the epithelium of esophageal mucosa was studied in mice together with the reversibility of the changes induced by cytotoxic drug. Fourfold

Tendon tissue of eleven athletes suffering from insertion tendopathy and of two controls was examined. Part of the tissue was prepared for routine light microscopy, a part for enzyme histochemical staining of Nicotinamide-adenine-dinudeotide-diaphorase (NADP-diaphorase), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),

Slight ultrastructural and metabolic changes in the spermatogenic epithelium of the testicles were identified 10 min after cardiac arrest. One hour after direct mechanical cardiomassage (DMCM) a moderately pronounced edema of the intercellular spaces in the basal compartment of the seminiferous

Leukoaminochrome o-semiquinone radical is generated during one-electron reduction of dopamine oxidation product aminochrome when DT-diaphorase is inhibited. Incubation of 100 microM aminochrome with 100 microM dicoumarol, an inhibitor of DT-diaphorase during 2 h, induces 56% cell death (P < 0.001)
