    Calcitonin gene-related peptide augments parasympathetic contraction of rabbit tracheal smooth musclein vitro

    The effect of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) on parasympathetic contraction of rabbit airway smooth muscle was studied under isometric conditionsin vitro. CGRP (10−7 M) did not contract tracheal smooth mu...

    In vivo transfer of human hepatocyte growth factor gene accelerates re-endothelialization and inhibits neointimal formation after balloon injury in rat model

    Although most therapeutic strategies to prevent restenosis are designed to inhibit vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation directly, VSMC proliferation might be indirectly inhibited by re-endotheliali...

    Gene therapy for preventing neuronal death using hepatocyte growth factor: in vivo gene transfer of HGF to subarachnoid space prevents delayed neuronal death in gerbil hippocampal CA1 neurons

    To develop a novel strategy to prevent delayed neuronal death (DND) following transient occlusion of arteries, the gene of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a novel neurotrophic factor, was transfected into the ...

    Inhibition of intimal hyperplasia after balloon injury in rat carotid artery model using cis-element ‘decoy’ of nuclear factor-kB binding site as a novel molecular strategy

    The transcription factor, NFkB, plays a pivotal role in the coordinated transactivation of cytokine and adhesion molecule genes involved in atherosclerosis and lesion formation after vascular injury. We hypoth...

    Down-regulation of the two-component system and cell-wall biosynthesis-related genes was associated with the reversion to daptomycin susceptibility in daptomycin non-susceptible methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

    Daptomycin (DAP) is widely used in the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection. The emergence of DAP non-susceptible MRSA strains during therapy is a major concern in clinical se...
