MEMBRANE DEPOLARIZATION IS REQUIRED FOR PRESSURE-DEPENDENT PULMONARY ARTERIAL TONE BUT NOT ENHANCED VASOCONSTRICTION TO ENDOTHELIN-1 FOLLOWING CHRONIC HYPOXIA

Enhanced vasoconstriction is increasingly identified as an important contributor to the development of pulmonary hypertension.Chronic hypoxia results in enhanced Rho kinase mediated Ca 2+ sensitization contributing to pressure-dependent pulmonary arterial tone as well as augmented vasoconstriction to endothelin-1 and depolarizing stimuli.We sought

The main aim of this work was to assess the possibility of using dried walnut leaves (Juglans regia L.) in the production of wheat bread.In the developed recipe, wheat flour was partially replaced with dried and powdered walnut leaves (WLs) in amounts of 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0% and 2.5%.Serving as a control sample was wheat bread without WLs.The bre

This article is about structural resemblances, linguistic and rhetoric similarities and media-strategic as well as tactical operations, that Nordic LARPers and 20th century avant-garde artists share.Many of the 20th century avant-garde movements and subcultural formations started from a shared collective experience and then branches out into refine

Aortic Billiard Tables sarcomas have not been linked to Lynch syndrome in humans, although other soft tissue malignancies have been.We report the case of a 31-year-old man with Lynch syndrome, who presented with abdominal pain and severe claudication.The clinical and diagnostic workup revealed near occlusion of the infrarenal aorta due to aortic an

Converter vanadium slag is a byproduct of the iron making process when the vanadium titanomagnetite is used as iron raw material.A cleaner process including calcified roasting, dilute acid leaching, precipitation purification, vanadium precipitation with ammonium salt, followed by thermal decomposition was proposed to extract vanadium Western leath
