Article Abstract

Phytochemical investigation of the trunks from led to the isolation of a novel phenolic glucoside, 2-2,4-di-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)but-2-en-1-yl---D-glucopyranoside (), along with five known stilbene derivatives (). Their structures were determined mainly using high-resolution electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic analyses, followed by comparisons of observed spectral data with reported values. The novel compound in was found to be useful as a chemotaxonomic marker. Biological evaluation revealed that compound had remarkable inhibitory effects on nitric oxide production, with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC) value of 4.85 ± 0.20 µM, which was much higher than that of the positive control dexamethasone (IC = 14.20 ± 0.54 M).

Intestinal dysmotility is a major complication that significantly impacts the prognosis of acute pancreatitis (AP). The neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) -expressing neurons within the enteric nervous system promote intestinal relaxation via the release of nitric oxide (NO). As the rate-limiting enzyme of NO synthesis, nNOS directly regulates NO production, thereby modulating intestinal motility.

Sex differences in childhood atopic disease and the role of sex-steroid metabolites.

J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract

COPSAC, Copenhagen Prospective Studies on Asthma in Childhood, Herlev and Gentofte Hospital, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark; Department of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark.

Background: Studies have described sex differences in childhood asthma, allergy, and atopic dermatitis, but the development and clinical phenotype of these differences remain poorly understood.

Objective: To characterize sex differences in atopic disease throughout childhood and study the potential role of sex-steroid metabolites.

Methods: We examined sex differences in asthma, allergy, and atopic dermatitis using longitudinal generalized estimating equation models in the COPSAC (n=411) and COPSAC (n=700) birth cohorts.

Objective: To assess the production of nitric oxide and endothelin in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting by comparing two techniques of internal thoracic artery preparation: skeletonized and pedicled without endothoracic fascia.

Methods: In this prospective, randomized clinical study, 40 patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting were randomized according to internal thoracic artery preparation technique into the skeletonized or pedicled (without endothoracic fascia) groups (n=20 each). Endothelial expression of CD31 was evaluated by means of immunohistochemistry and en-face immunofluorescence.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Chronic inflammatory pain represents a significant global health burden, seriously affecting the patient's quality of life. Jin-Tian-Ge Capsules (JTG), a substitute for natural tiger bone, has been approved in China for the treatment of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Clinical observations show that JTG can mitigate chronic pain associated with the above bone-related diseases.

Phagocytosis is mediated mainly by immune cells, such as macrophages, monocytes and neutrophils, that clear large pathogens including bacteria. The small GTP-binding protein Rab5 is crucial for both clathrin-dependent endocytosis and phagocytosis, but the role and mechanism of Rab5 activation during phagocytosis are poorly understood. Here we report that nitric oxide (NO), a novel regulator of Rab5, regulates phagocytosis through S-nitrosylation of Rab5.
