Regional Structural and Functional Specializations in the Urethra of the Female Rat: Evidence for Complex Physiological Control Systems
This study characterizes the complex structural and functional elements of the female rat urethra that may be involved in controlling urethral closure and continence. Urethras were dissected from female Sprague‐Dawley rats (N = 12) euthanized by pentobarbital overdose. Tissues were fixed (4% paraformaldehyde), frozen, and sectioned (8 μm) for light microscopy and immunohistochemistry. Antibodies were used to detect immunoreactivity to calcitonin gene related peptide, nitric oxide synthase, vesicular acetylcholine transporter, and tyrosine hydroxylase. Measurements of urethral wall compliance were taken along its len...

Reducing ‐Autophagy Derived Mitochondrial Dysfunction during Resveratrol Promotes Fibroblast‐Like Synovial Cell Apoptosis
ABSTRACT In rheumatoid arthritis patients, the fibroblast‐like synovial cells (FLS) growth is not controlled normally, but is similar to the tumor cells proliferation in histology. Our previous studies have shown that resveratrol inhibits the proliferation of FLS and promotes FLS apoptosis. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in resveratrol‐induced FLS apoptosis have not been determined yet. Here, we showed that the FLS cell viability (following pretreatment with 5 µM H2O2 for 24 hr) exhibited better proliferation performance than at other concentrations via the CCK‐8 assay. The cell apoptotic rate increased ...

Resveratrol Suppresses Rotenone ‐induced Neurotoxicity Through Activation of SIRT1/Akt1 Signaling Pathway
ABSTRACT Rotenone is a common pesticide and has been reported as one of the risk factors for Parkinson disease. Rotenone can cause neuronal death or apoptosis through inducing oxidative injury and inhibiting mitochondrial function. As a natural polyphenolic compound, resveratrol possesses the antioxidant capacity and neuroprotective effect. However, the mechanism underlying the neuroprotective effect of resveratrol against rotenone‐induced neurotoxicity remains elusive. Here, we treated PC12 cells with rotenone to induce neurotoxicity, and the neurotoxic cells were subjected to resveratrol treatment. The CCK8 and LDH act...

Study of Endochondral Ossification in Human Fetalcartilage Anlagen of Metacarpals: Comparative Morphology of Mineral Deposition in Cartilage and in the Periosteal Bone Matrix
This study aimed to provide a morphologic/morphometric comparative analysis of the calcification process in cartilage and periosteal osteoid used as models of endochondral ossification. Thin, sequential sections from the same paraffin inclusions of metacarpal anlagen (gestational age between the 20th and 22nd weeks) were examined with light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, either stained or heat‐deproteinated. This process enabled the analysis of corresponding fields using the different methods. From the initial CaPO4 nucleation in cartilage matrix, calcification progressed increasing the size of focal, globu...

Potential adult neurogenesis in the telencephalon and cerebellar cortex of the Nile crocodile revealed with doublecortin immunohistochemistry
This study indicates that at least part of the gain in brain mass with age in the Nile crocodile may be accounted for by the potential addition and integration of new neurons into the existing circuitry, especially so for the olfactory system, telencephalon and cerebellar cortex.
