The activities were 0.31±0.09 and 0.57±0.16 imp/s for control and injection of the TNF-α mixture (n=9; P<0.01), respectively. These nociceptors did not respond to location injection of normal saline. Our results show that TNF-α, like IL-1β, can activate airway nociceptors. It ...
Two additional activities of H2R antagonists have been reported which could directly affect inflammatory processes. First, famotidine has documented powerful antioxidant effects in vitro, particularly for scavenging nitric oxide (Ahmadi et al. 2011), the hydroxyl radical (Ching et al. 1993), and myel...
coordinated body activities. Development and working principle of the VNS device Full size image Full size image To investigate how the implanted VNS device functioned in response to stomach movements, voltage signals were first measured between the two Au leads. The stomach was arbitrarily deformed ...
However, the visceral nerves innervating the abdominal/pelvic cavity are not confined exclusively to sensory and sympathetic nerves. Within several nerve plexuses in the pelvic cavity, there are also parasympathetic nerves, which consist of mostly cholinergic vagus nerves (VN)32. The activities of the...
Can Zapping the Vagus Nerve Jump-Start Immunity?Douglas Fox,Nature
Aims The aim of this study was to explore the potential effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at ST36 on mice bearing breast tumors by regulating inflammatory cytokines to enhance antitumor immunity via vagus nerve. Materials and methods Female BALB/c mice were implanted with 4T1-luc2 breast tumor ...
Hence, there is a need for materials that can bind selectively to specific microorganisms for diagnostic or anti-infective applications, but that can be formed from simple and inexpensive building blocks. Here, we exploit bacterial redox systems to induce a copper-mediated radical polymerization of ...

In this study, we examined effects of luminal amino acids on the afferent nerve activities of the rat abdominal vagus. Male Sprague鈥揇awley rats were used for this experiment. Under urethane anesthesia, the nerve bundle of the left gastric or celiac branch was split, and vagal filaments were...
