Synergism between neuropeptide Y and norepinephrine highlights sympathetic cotransmission: studies in rat arterial mesenteric bed with neuropeptide Y, analogs, and BIBP 3226.

Although abundant literature supports the notion that neuropeptide Y (NPY) synergizes in vivo and in vitro, the vasomotor activity elicited by norepinephrine (NE), the converse interaction (i.e., the adrenergic modulation of the NPY vasomotor response) has been less characterized.

[Condylomatous lesions of the uterine cervix: LLETZ conization].

Eight cases are reported about women with the diagnosis of HPV related lesions; a "dot-blot" hybridization technique with radioactive probes was done with each of them, also a conization with a diathermic loop (LLETZ) and a post operative follow-up with methods such as Pap smear, colposcopy and hybridization. We think the way we manage HPV related lesions has the advantage of an accurate diagnosis, with the exact envolved HPV type, and it discards the possibility of an infiltrating carcinoma, after studying the conization sample. Hybridization techniques are complementary to Pap smear in order to know the infective viral type and to exclude a possible occult infection in the post-operative period.
