1. The effect of losartan on angiotensin II-induced cell proliferation in a rat aorta smooth muscle cell line
The success of revascularization procedures is limited by recurrent stenosis, which is a narrowing of a blood vessels that results from neo-intimal hyperplasia. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neo-intimal hyperplasia, and a role for angiotensin II in vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation has been propos

2. Efeitos de um protocolo de fortalecimento da musculatura do assoalho pélvico em grupo para mulheres com perda urinária
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a kinesiotherapy protocol in a group-based for strengthen the pelvic floor muscles (KGSPF) for the pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function and pressure level, quality of life (QOL) and isometric and isokinetic hip adductors peak torque (PT) among women with urinary incontinence (UI) that was not sedentary.

3. Uma outra possibilidade para a adequação/reeducação da forma/função da musculatura da lingua / Another possibility for the fitness/reeducation of the tongue musculature shape/function
The alterations in tongue musculature and functions have resulted in atypical deglutitions, articular disorders, oral breathing and the sleep apnea syndrome (SOHAS), as well as esthetic alterations, such as the "double chins". The Lingual Exerciser was developed by the author in order to strengthen tongue musculature, minimize the exercising time and provide

4. Influência de um programa de atividade física sobre o torque muscular, o equilíbrio, a velocidade da marcha e a qualidade de vida de mulheres portadoras de osteoporose. / Physical exercise program influences on muscle torque, balance, gait velocity and quality of life to women suffering from osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disorder characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration leading to skeletal fragility and increasing of fracture risk. Due to the lack of well defined protocols on the intensity and frequency of physical exercises to reduce multiple risk factors in falls, the purpose of this study was to propose, to apply

5. Estudo morfofuncional, em nivel mesoscopico, da transição faringo-esofagica no homem adulto
The aim of this study was to reaxamine at, the mesoscopic and microscopic levels, the structure and relationships of the tissues of the pharingo-esophageal transitions in adult man. This regions is the site of some pathologies, among which the most frequent is the Zenker?s diverticulum. Thirty five pieces of the regions were removed from cadavers fixed in 10

6. Reduced thin filament length in nebulin-knockout skeletal muscle alters isometric contractile properties
Nebulin (NEB) is a large, rod-like protein believed to dictate actin thin filament length in skeletal muscle. NEB gene defects are associated with congenital nemaline myopathy. The functional role of NEB was investigated in gastrocnemius muscles from neonatal wild-type (WT) and NEB knockout (NEB-KO) mice, whose thin filaments have uniformly shorter lengths c

7. Incidence, severity, and time-course of motoneurone dysfunction in myotonic dystrophy: their significance for an understanding of anticipation.
The numbers of functioning motor units and the amplitudes of the maximum evoked muscle responses have been measured in 198 muscles of 102 patients with myotonic dystrophy. Losses of units could be demonstrated in most of the extensor digitorum brevis and thenar muscles but less commonly in the hypothenar groups. A more proximal limb muscle, the soleus, was a

8. Controlled trial of respiratory muscle training in chronic airflow limitation.
BACKGROUND: Whether respiratory muscle training is of benefit to patients with chronic airflow limitation is controversial. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of resistance breathing training on physiological and functional measures in patients with chronic airflow obstruction. METHODS: The design was a randomised, double blind, controlle

9. Evidence for a functional role of endogenously produced somatomedinlike peptides in the regulation of DNA synthesis in cultured human fibroblasts and porcine smooth muscle cells.
Cultured porcine aortic smooth muscle cells and human fibroblasts produce somatomedinlike peptides and secrete them into the surrounding microenvironment. This production has been linked to their ability to replicate. The objective of this study was to determine if a specific anti-somatomedin-C (Sm-C) monoclonal antibody that binds the somatomedinlike peptid

10. On the calcium receptor activating exocytosis: inhibitory effects of calmodulin-interacting drugs on rat mast cells.
1. A series of neuroleptic drugs (five phenothiazines, imipramine, and pimozide) and the smooth muscle relaxant W-7, which all inhibit calcium-calmodulin-activated processes inhibited rat mast cell secretion elicited by antigen, by 48/80, and by the calcium ionophore A23187. 2. Neither the phenothiazines nor W-7 reduced 45Ca uptake in response to A23187. The

11. Further observations on the behaviour of ouabain-insensitive sodium efflux towards proctolin in barnacle muscle fibres.
1. A further study has been made of the stimulatory action of proctolin on the ouabain-insensitive Na+ efflux in single muscle fibres from the barnacle, Balanus nubilus. 2. (i) Strontium (Sr2+) behaves as a substitute for external Ca2+. In this case, however, the response to proctolin fails to decay. (ii) Injection of Sr2+ stimulates the ouabain-insensitive
