Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 and Substance P Mediate the Development of Gastric Mucosal Lesions in a Water Imm...
Published in Digestion
Background: Activation of substance P (SP) contributes to the development and maintenance of gastric lesions, but the mechanisms underlying the release of SP and SP-mediated damage to the gastric mucosa remain unknown. Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is expressed in SP-positive neurons in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and stomach of...
Local Resiniferatoxin Induces Long-Lasting Analgesia in a Rat Model of Full Thickness Thermal Injury.
Published in Pain medicine (Malden, Mass.)
These results indicate that local RTX induces long-lasting analgesia in a rat model of pain associated with burn. While opioids are undesirable in trauma patients due to side effects, RTX may provide valuable long-term, nonopioid analgesia for burn patients.
Substance P and patterned silk biomaterial stimulate periodontal ligament stem cells to form corneal stroma in a bioengi...
Published in Stem cell research & therapy
Multi-lamellar human corneal stroma-like tissue can be constructed successfully in vitro by PDLSCs seeded on orthogonally aligned, multi-layered silk membranes with SP supplementation, which shows potential for future corneal tissue engineering.
Increase of Substance P Concentration in Saliva after Pharyngeal Electrical Stimulation in Severely Dysphagic Stroke Pat...
...Published in Neurosignals
Background/Aims: Substance P (SP) is a neuropeptide, likely acting as a neurotransmitter in the pharyngeal mucosa enhancing the swallow and cough reflex. Pharyngeal Electrical Stimulation (PES) induces a temporary increase of salivary SP levels in healthy adults. Previous evidence suggests that post-stroke dysphagia is related to reduced SP levels....
Substance P and the neurokinin-1 receptor expression in dog ileum with and without inflammation.
Published in Research in veterinary science
In the gastrointestinal tract, the tachykinin Substance P (SP) is involved in motility, fluid and electrolyte secretion, and blood flow and regulation of immunoinflammatory response. SP exerts its biological activity on target cells by interacting mainly with the neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R). The present study aims to quantify the percentage of SP-...
Increased enteric glial cells in proximal margin of resection is associated with postoperative recurrence of Crohn's dis...
Published in Journal of gastroenterology and hepatology
Increased S100-positive enteric glial cells is associated with a high risk of both endoscopic and clinical recurrence after surgery. These findings have implications in individualized postoperative prophylaxis for Crohn's disease.
A Pilot Study Investigating Clinical Responses and Biological Pathways of Azelastine/Fluticasone in Nonallergic Vasomoto...
Published in International Archives of Allergy and Immunology
Background: Nonallergic vasomotor rhinitis (NAVMR) has been considered a diagnosis by exclusion due to unknown mechanisms or lack of diagnostic biomarkers. Methods: To determine clinical responses and biological pathways in NAVMR subjects challenged to cold dry air (CDA) in an environmental exposure chamber (EEC) pre- and posttreatment with azelast...
Model for studying anti- allergic drugs for allergic conjunctivitis in animals
Published in Open Medicine
Allergic conjunctivitis (AC), which is characterized by ocular itching, hyperemia, and edema, deteriorates quality of life. In this study, effects of anti-allergic drugs were evaluated by assessing eye-scratching behavior, the number of eosinophils in conjunctiva epithelial tissues, and concentrations of chemical mediators in the tears of the guine...
Upregulated expression of substance P (SP) and NK1R in eczema and SP-induced mast cell accumulation.
Published in Cell biology and toxicology
Substance P (SP) was reported to be associated with eczema and acts as a potent skin mast cell secretagogue. However, little is known of its expression in inflammatory cells in eczema and its ability in induction of mast cell accumulation. In the present study, we investigated expression of SP and neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R) on peripheral blood le...
