Published: June 1993

The biological methods of animal organism protection, the role of stress and the nociceptive signals, the hierarchy of defence mechanism--from the autonomic reflexes, neuroendocrine regulations, emotional reactions and expressions up to peculiar to the human being intellectual safeguard have been considered. The latest data on the role of tachykinins in transmission have been examined. The discovery of mediator function of "substance P" (SP), other related peptides, which coexists and realizes from the primary afferents and other terminals of SP-containing, capsaicin-sensitive neurons--opened a new chapter in the neurobiology and medicine. The necessity to support the medico-biological (fundamental) experiments by the modern society is grounded.

Background: Patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with chest pain often have abnormal high-sensitivity troponin (hsTn). However, only about 5% have an acute coronary syndrome. We aimed to assess the safety, feasibility and utility of a clinical disposition protocol including outpatient observation with stress cardiac-magnetic-resonance (CMR) in intermediate-risk patients with abnormal hsTn of unclear etiology.

Chronic pain and depression exhibit a high comorbidity, are challenging to manage, and their pathophysiology mechanisms are intricated and closely related to the up-regulation of pro-inflammatory response and oxidative stress. Chronic pain and depression often coexist and present significant management challenges. Their underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are complex and closely linked to the up-regulation of pro-inflammatory responses and oxidative stress.

Background: Neurons are susceptible to oxidative stress due to the elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the limited antioxidant defense mechanisms. Therefore, it is possible to treat oxidative stress-related neurological disorders via the inhibition of oxidative stress. Chryxanthone A is an extracted substance derived from the endophytic fungal Aspergillus versicolor, with an atypical dihydropyran ring.

Endometriosis affects about 10% of women of reproductive age, leading to a disabling gynecologic condition. Chronic pain, inflammation, and oxidative stress have been identified as the molecular pathways involved in the progression of this disease, although its precise etiology remains uncertain. Although mitochondria are considered crucial organelles for cellular activity, their dysfunction has been linked to the development of this disease.

Pre-established anaesthetic protocols in animal models might unexpectedly interfere with the main outcome of scientific projects and therefore they need to account for the specific research goals. We aimed to optimize the anaesthetic protocol and animal handling strategies in a diabetes-related-study exemplifying how the anaesthetic approach must be adjusted for individual research targets. Aachen minipigs were used as a model to test long-lasting skin glucose sensors for diabetic human patients.
