Managing CP/CPPS remains challenging and there is not any common option to treat all patients effectively because of the complex disease nature.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFSeveral neurologic diseases including spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis are accompanied by disturbances of the lower urinary tract functions. Clinical data indicates that chronic spinal cord stimulation can improve not only motor function but also ability to store urine and control micturition. Decoding the spinal mechanisms that regulate the functioning of detrusor (Detr) and external urethral sphincter (EUS) muscles is essential for effective neuromodulation therapy in patients with disturbances of micturition.

Unlabelled: Peripheral magnetic stimulation (pMS) has shown its effectiveness in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms, such as symptoms of an overactive bladder (OAB). The perineal region (pelvic floor) and the sacral roots area (projection S3 of the root) are used as the locus of stimulation. The published literature presents protocols with different parameters of stimulation, while each of them reliably demonstrates clinical efficacy, however, no comparative studies have been found to select priority stimulation modes when analyzing available sources.

The most challenging aspect of the existing approaches is to achieve the optimal tension of the sling which treatment results are directly dependent on. To solve this problem, sling systems enabling an adjustment of the tension in the early postoperative period were created.

Although the current clinical classification of BC is well-established, the addition of minimally invasive laboratory tests based on peripheral blood biomarkers that reflect pathological changes in the body is of utmost importance. In the current study, the serum proteome and lipidome profiles for 50 BC patients with (25) and without (25) metastasis were studied.

Aim: To find the most safe and effective method of surgical treatment of POP.
Materials And Methods: To evaluate the efficiency of surgical techniques, a retrospective study of 5031 medical records from an electronic database was carried out.
Behavioral and neurochemical effects of the new racetam derivative GIZh-290 were studied in a mouse attention deficit model (the ED-Low animals subpopulation selected during preliminary behavioral typing in the "closed enriched cross maze" test). Subchronic administration of GIZh-290 (1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg, intraperitoneally, for 6 days), increased the initially low level of attention in ED-Low animals; the highest selectivity was observed at a dose of 3 mg/kg. Radioligand analysis showed that at this dose, the drug changed density (Bmax) of D2 and GABAB receptors as markers in the pre-frontal cortex of the ED-Low subpopulation to Bmax values observed in the ED-High subpopulation.

They have attracted extensive attention from the scientific community due to their significant pharmacological potential. Here we report the first synthesis of avermectin-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine hybrids promising as GABA receptor positive allosteric modulators (PAMs).

A small but growing body of data suggests that antidepressant-like effect of CPG is associated with neuroplastic changes in the brain or 5-HT system modulation. However, the mechanisms of the dipeptide action remain elusive.

The recently developed parallel reaction monitoring-parallel accumulation-serial fragmentation (prm-PASEF) approach on a Bruker timsTOF Pro mass spectrometer allows the addition of ion mobility as a new dimension to LC-MS-based proteomics and increases proteome coverage at a reduced analysis time. In this study, a prm-PASEF approach was used for the multiplexed absolute quantitation of proteins in human plasma using isotope-labeled peptide standards for 125 plasma proteins, over a broad (10-10) dynamic range.

Two subpopulations of rodents differed spontaneously in attention to enriched compartments (ED-Low and ED-High), were estimated on the basis of time spent by the mice in the empty or enriched compartments. The ED-Low and ED-High mice insignificantly differed in parameters associated with anxiety, exploratory efficacy and motor activity.

Material And Methods: Inclusion criteria included decrease of urge symptoms following insertion of a gauze tampon in the posterior fornix of vagina ('simulated operation'). Exclusion criteria included SUI, POP grades 3-4.
The aim of the study was to develop better anxiolytics and antidepressants. We focused on GABA receptors and the α2δ auxiliary subunit of V-gated Ca channels as putative targets because they are established as mediators of efficacious anxiolytics, antidepressants, and anticonvulsants. We further focused on short peptides as candidate ligands because of their high safety and tolerability profiles.

The aim of this work was to study the involvement of ERK1/2 and dopamine D2 receptor in the mechanism of the anticonvulsant action of valproic acid (VA) and a new benzoylpyridine oxime derivative (GIZH-298), which showed antiepileptic activity in different models of epilepsy. We showed that subchronic exposure to maximal electroshock seizures (MES) for 5 days reduced the density of dopamine D2 receptors in the striatum of mice.

Its symptoms are often characterized not only with detrusor hyperactivity, but also with the increased sensitivity of afferent fibers, which is clinically manifested as urgency. In addition, the disorders at the level of receptors expression and the synthesis of mediators lead to the development of bladder pain syndrome (BPS), which also significantly reduces the quality of life of patients.

This syndrome can be caused by different conditions, and currently no universal pathogenetic treatment has been developed. In addition, there are virtually no Russian-language publications providing information on the neurophysiology and neuroanatomy of the lower urinary tract.

The PCR-based test, however, shows limited sensitivity, especially in the early and late stages of disease development ( 2020, 581, 465-469; 2020, 119 (6) 1123), and is relatively time-consuming. Fast and reliable complementary methods for detecting the viral infection would be of help in the current pandemic conditions.

Three series of novel γ-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAR) ligands belonging to imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles, imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles, and benzo[d]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles were synthesized and characterized as active agents against GABAR benzodiazepine-binding site. In each of these series, potent compounds were discovered using a radioligand competition binding assay.

Such strains serve as the basis for developing probiotics with a curative potential for the central nervous system - psychobioitcs. However, the question of how to find such strains and which criteria to use for their selection remains unanswered.

The release of zolpidem in saline solution and in polymer film modelling nasal mucosa was investigated. The anxiolytic effect of zolpidem upon intranasal administration of microcontainers and free medicine was determined by in vivo experiments on mice.

Here we evaluated two different polymer formulations of SVP-encapsulated antigens and tested their ability to induce cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) in combination with SVP-encapsulated adjuvants. One formulation led to efficient antigen processing and cross-presentation, rapid and sustained CTL activity, and expansion of CD8+ T cell effector memory cells locally and centrally, which persisted for at least 1-2 years after a single immunization.
