Published: June 2012

A high-frequency NMR apparatus for use in pressure cell is described. All components of the resonance circuit are set in the pressure cell. This method makes the resonance frequency much less influenced by large stray capacitance residing at the electrical feedthrough of the pressure cell. With the use of this apparatus, a pressure-induced neutral-ionic phase transition in DMTTF-QBr(4) was successfully observed by (79)Br nuclear quadrupole resonance, whose resonance frequency is ∼300 MHz.

Role of Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor in Angiotensin II-Induced Hypertension.

Hypertension

January 2025

Department of Nephrology, Medical Faculty, University Hospital Düsseldorf, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, Germany (S.A.P., I.Q., D. Arifaj, M.K., D. Argov, L.C.R., J.S.).

Background: Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), mainly known for its neuroprotective properties, belongs to the IL-6 (interleukin-6) cytokine family. In contrast to IL-6, the effects of CNTF on the vasculature have not been explored. Here, we examined the role of CNTF in AngII (angiotensin II)-induced hypertension.

Wounds from gunshots and other explosive devices are a source of loss of substances directly or secondary to a well- conducted debridement. In addition, these types of wounds are by definition contaminated. The major challenge in this context for any surgeon remains coverage.

Extracellular vesicular microRNAs and cardiac hypertrophy.

Cardiac hypertrophy is an adaptive response to pressure or volume overload such as hypertension and ischemic heart diseases. Sustained cardiac hypertrophy eventually leads to heart failure. The pathophysiological alterations of hypertrophy are complex, involving both cellular and molecular systems.

Gene therapy targeting ischemic heart disease is a promising therapeutic avenue, but it is mostly restricted to viral-based delivery approaches which are limited due to off-target immunological responses. Focused ultrasound presents a non-viral, image-guided technique in which circulating intravascular microbubble contrast agents can reversibly enhance vascular permeability and gene penetration. Here, we explore the influence of flow rate on the microbubble-assisted delivery of miR-126, a potent pro-angiogenic biologic, using a custom acoustically coupled pressurized mesenteric artery model.

Enhancing High-Level Food-Grade Expression of Glutamate Decarboxylase and Its Application in the Production of γ-Aminobutyric Acid.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a non-proteinogenic amino acid, exhibits diverse physiological functions and finds extensive applications in food, medicine, and various industries. Glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) can effectively convert L-glutamic acid (L-Glu) or monosodium glutamate (MSG) into GABA. However, the low food-grade expression of GAD has hindered large-scale GABA production.
