The endothelium responds to numerous chemical and mechanical factors in regulating vascular tone, blood pressure, flow. endothelial volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC) has been proposed be mechanosensitive thereby sense fluid flow hydrostatic pressure regulate function. Here, we show that the leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 8a, LRRC8A (SWELL1), is required for VRAC human umbilical vein cells (HUVECs). Endothelial regulates AKT-endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) signaling under...
Directly observed treatment short-course (DOTS) strategy is an effective mode of treating TB. We aimed to study the cost effectiveness and patients' satisfaction with home based direct observation (DOT), innovative approach community-based DOT (CBDOT) hospital (HBDOT).A randomized controlled trial involving 150 newly diagnosed pulmonary TB patients in four clinics Ile Ife , Nigeria, was done. They were randomly assigned receive anti drugs for intensive phase administered at by a worker or...
Abstract The endothelium responds to a multitude of chemical and mechanical factors in regulating vascular tone, angiogenesis, blood pressure flow. endothelial volume regulatory anion channel (VRAC) has been proposed be mechano-sensitive, activate response fluid flow/hydrostatic putatively regulate reactivity angiogenesis. Here, we show that the Leucine Rich Repeat Containing Protein 8a, LRRC8a (SWELL1) functionally encodes VRAC human umbilical vein cells (HUVECs). Endothelial SWELL1...
Background: Purinergic receptor activation by extracellular nucleotides is involved in thrombosis and neointimal hyperplasia that accompany atherosclerosis postangioplasty restenosis. Human apyrases [ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (E-NTPDases)] are membrane bound enzymes hydrolyze nucleotides, thereby inhibiting purinergic activation. CD39, the first identified human apyrase, constitutively expressed on endothelial cell (EC) vascular smooth muscle (VSMC) surfaces. APT102, a...
