Comparative effects of dilator drugs on human penile dorsal artery and deep dorsal vein
1998
The present study was designed to characterize the response of human penile dorsal artery and deep dorsal vein to dilator drugs used in the diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction with special emphasis on the effects on sympathetic neurotransmission. Ring segments of penile dorsal artery and deep dorsal vein were obtained from 20 multi-organ donors during procurement of organs for transplantation. The rings (3 ;mm long) were suspended in organ bath chambers for isometric recording of tension. We then studied the relaxant responses to prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), papaverine (PV), sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and linsidomine chlorhydrate (SIN-1), and ana…
Telomere length in leukocytes and cervical smears of women with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR HPV) infection
2019
Objective: Persistent high-risk HPV (HR HPV) infection leads to the development of squamous intraepithelial lesions, which in turn may progress to cervical cancer. Telomere elongation or shortening may indicate a carcinogenesis process. In the present study, we analyzed telomere length from blood and cervical smears of women without and with high-risk HPV infection. Materials and methods: Telomere length was quantified by real-time PCR in blood and cervical smears from 48 women with high-risk HPV infection and HGSIL or LGSIL, 29 women HR-HPV positive without SIL, and 11 HPV-negative women. Results: No correlation was found between age and telomere length in blood and cervical smears. Women …
Cervical Cancer Screening in Women With Severe Mental Disorders An Approach to the Spanish Context
2018
Background The incidence of invasive cervical cancer and its mortality have been reduced through primary and secondary prevention. Screening rates tend to be lower in vulnerable groups, such as people with severe mental disorders, who have a later detection of cancer and a higher mortality. The access of these women to cervical cancer screening is uncertain in our context. Objective The aim of this study was to determine the cervical cancer screening rates in women with severe mental disorders. Methods This was a descriptive cross-sectional study. Women 25 to 65 years old who were admitted during 2016 to the psychiatric unit of a public hospital in Spain were included in the study, and it w…
Screening for breast and cervical cancer in a large German city: participation, motivation and knowledge of risk factors.
2005
Few data exist on attendance for cervical and breast cancer screening, breast self-examination and knowledge about risk factors for cervical cancer among German women. A population-based survey was performed in the city of Bielefeld in Germany.A questionnaire was mailed to 1500 randomly selected women age 25 to 75. Of those, 540 questionnaires were returned and 532 were analysed.Women participating in the survey considered themselves well informed about possibilities for early detection of breast cancer (84.0%). Most information was received from office-based gynaecologists (82.4%). 82.8% had a breast examination by a medical doctor annually and 43.1% practised breast self-examination every…
EFFETTO DEGLI ESTRATTI DI PAPAYA FERMENTATA SULLO STRESS OSSIDATIVO IN PAZIENTI CON MALATTIA DI ALZHEIMER
2013
Brain tissue is particularly susceptible to oxidative damage, which has been associated with pathological findings of Alzheimer's disease (AD), such as amyloid plaques and protein fibrils. Oxidative stress alterations, including increased production of reactive oxygen metabolites, decline of antioxidant systems, and decreased efficiency in repairing molecules, have been linked to the development of AD. Postmortem studies on brain tissue from AD patients have shown several oxidative damage markers, such as increased lipid peroxidation, oxidative damage of proteins, glyco-oxidation, and reduction of antioxidant systems. We studied 40 patients referred to our Geriatric Unit (age 78,2 ± 1,1 yea…
The 5-HT and alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist effect of four benzylisoquinoline alkaloids on rat aorta.
1998
Abstract The action of four benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (two aporphines—glaucine and apomorphine, a benzylisoquinoline—papaverine and a bisbenzyltetrahydroisoquinoline—antioquine) on 5-HT-induced contraction in rat thoracic aorta has been examined and compared with that of the control drugs: ketanserin, nifedipine, prazosin and phentolamine. The relaxant action on 5-HT-induced contraction was contrasted with that on the contraction induced by noradrenaline and KCl. The results obtained with control drugs show that ketanserin has clear selectivity for 5-HT receptors, whereas prazosin and phentolamine have high selectivity for the α1-adrenoceptor and nifedipine seems to have a more potent ef…
