Re-canalization of cerebral vessels in ischemic stroke is pivotal to rescue dysfunctional brain areas that are exposed to moderate hypoxia within the penumbra from irreversible cell death. Goal of the present study was to evaluate the effect of moderate hypoxia followed by reoxygenation (MHR) on the evolution of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity in brain endothelial cells (BEC). BBB integrity was assessed in BEC in vitro and in microvessels of the guinea pig whole brain in situ preparation. Probes were exposed to MHR (2 hours 67-70 mmHg O2, 3 hours reoxygenation, BEC) or towards occlusion of the arteria cerebri media (MCAO) with or without subsequent repe…

In vivo analysis of noise dependent activation of white blood cells and microvascular dysfunction in mice

2021

This article contains supporting information on data collection for the research article entitled “Aircraft noise exposure drives the activation of white blood cells and induces microvascular dysfunction in mice” by Eckrich et al. We found that noise-induced stress triggered microvascular dysfunction via involvement of innate immune-derived reactive oxygen species. In this article, we present the instrumentation of mice with dorsal skinfold chambers for in vivo microscopic imaging of blood flow, interaction of leukocytes with the vascular wall (also by fluorescent labelling of blood cells) and vessel diameter. In addition, we explain the preparation of cerebral arterioles for measurement of…

Biochemical identification and tissue-specific expression patterns of keratins in the zebrafish Danio rerio

1998

We have identified a number of type I and type II keratins in the zebrafish Danio rerio by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, complementary keratin blot-binding assay and immunoblotting. These keratins range from 56 kDa to 46 kDa in molecular mass and from pH 6.6 to pH 5.2 in isoelectric point. Type II zebrafish keratins exhibit significantly higher molecular masses (56-52 kDa) compared with the type I keratins (50-48 kDa), but the isoelectric points show no significant difference between the two keratin subclasses (type II: pH 6.0-5.5; type I: pH 6.1-5.2). According to their occurrence in various zebrafish tissues, the identified keratins can be classified into "E" (epider…

Confocal Endomicroscopy Shows Food-Associated Changes in the Intestinal Mucosa of Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome

2014

Background & Aims We investigated suspected food intolerances in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) using confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) for real-time visualization of structural/functional changes in the intestinal mucosa after food challenge. Patients with functional changes after food challenge (CLE+) were placed on personalized exclusion diets and followed up for long-term symptom relief. Methods Thirty-six IBS patients with suspected food intolerance and 10 patients with Barrett's esophagus (controls) without IBS symptoms were examined by CLE at University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein (Kiel, Germany). Diluted food antigens were administered directly to the duodenal mucosa…

Microcirculatory Dysfunction Induced by Cigarette Smoking

2000

This review deals with the deleterious effects of cigarette smoking on the microcirculation, both in terms of morphological (i.e., vessel wall injury, capillary loss) and functional aspects. The latter concerns predominantly changes in tissue perfusion and its regulatory mechanisms (i.e., reactive hyperemia, sequestration of blood cells in the microcirculation). The mechanisms of action of cigarette smoking on the microcirculation include compromised endothelial-dependent vasorelaxation, platelet aggregation, endothelial cell dysfunction, and the activation of circulating leukocytes. Through these mechanisms, cigarette smoking elicits the aggregation and adhesion of leukocytes and/or platel…

Nachweis von alpha1-Fetoprotein an Blutspuren mit Hilfe der Celluloseacetatfolien-(CAF)-Elektrophorese

1977

Die von Patzelt, Geserick und Lignitz fur Agargelelektrophorese zum Nachweis von alpha1-Fetoprotein beschriebene Technik konnte mit Erfolg auf das Celluloseacetatfolien-(CAF)-System ubertragen werden. Die Unterscheidbarkeit von Neugeborenen- oder Fetalblut und Erwachsenenblut wurde an 219 Neugeborenenbluten gepruft, die auf verschiedenen Spurentragern (Glas, Holz, Filterpapier und Leinen) getrocknet worden waren und gelang ausnahmslos nach Lagerung bei Zimmertemperatur bis zu einem Spurenalter von 8 Monaten. Die Spurentrager beeinflusten die Darstellung nicht.

Einflu� von Medikamenten auf den Acetaldehydspiegel im Blut nach Alkoholzufuhr (enzymatische Bestimmung des Acetaldehyd)

1957

Mit einer enzymatischen und damit spezifischen Bestimmung des Acetaldehyd in Korperflussigkeiten konnte folgendes festgestellt werden. 1. Im Blutserum von Ratten konnte in der Mehrzahl der Falle keine Acetaldehydkonzentration bestimmt werden, im Einzelfall jedoch bis zu 0,09 mg- %. Die bisher in der Literatur angegebenen Normwerte hinsichtlich des Acetaldehydgehaltes, die aber mit relativ unspezifischen Methoden bestimmt worden waren, liesen sich an Ratten nicht bestatigen. 2. Die bisher mitgeteilten Konzentrationen an Acetaldehyd nach Verabreichung einer Sattigungsdosis von Antabus und Alkohol liegen uber 2 mg- %. Auch bei Uberprufung dieser Versuchsanordnung konnte niemals die Hohe dieser…

DOUBLE TRANSVERSE FORAMEN IN INFANTILE CERVICAL VERTEBRAE OF THE LATE 17TH AND EARLY 18TH CENTURIES. Doble foramen transverso en las vértebras infant…

2016

La presencia de doble foramen transverso es una variante anatómica que se observa con frecuencia en el raquis cervical inferior y que presenta implicaciones clínicas en relación con la arteria vertebral. Aunque en la actualidad existe cierta controversia acerca de si el origen de esta variante cervical es congénito o adquirido, y a pesar de que la presencia de doble foramen transverso en población infantil descartaría un origen degenerativo-artrósico, se encuentra una falta de información acerca de su presencia en vértebras cervicales infantiles. En este sentido, nuestro objetivo ha sido analizar la presencia de doble foramen transverso en vértebras cervicales infantiles procedentes de rest…
