Abstract

In acute experiments of 22 cats with simultaneous perfusion of the crus and small intestine's vessels, the neurocytes affecting the neurogenic tone of the vessels were found 2 mm caudal of the middle of exposure of the n. n. hypoglossi roots and 6 mm rostral of this level, the depth being 1000-2000-3000 mu ventral of the medulla oblongata surface. Cerebral structures situated at the level of the middle of exposure of the n. n. hypoglossi roots, 2-4-6 mm rostral of this level, at the depth 1000-2000-3000 mu and stimulation of which increases regional vascular resistance, are called pressor ones. Electrical activity of the neurocytes situated 2 mm caudal of the middle of exposure of the n. n. hypoglossi roots, at the depth 1000-2000-3000 mu, mostly decreases neurogenic tone of the organ vessels (depressor area). Proportional dependence of the vasoconstrictor response of the vessels on the stimulation intensity was only found in activation of neurons in the points of pressor area. A greater increase (1.5-fold) of perfusion pressure in the crus vessels as compared with the small intestine's those in stimulation of comparable points of the pressor area suggests different density of distribution of the neurons affecting neurogenic to...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
