Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Inhibitor and 14,15-Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acid-Facilitated Long-Term Potentiation through cAMP and CaMKII in the Hippocampus by Han-Fang Wu, Yi-Ju Chen, Su-Zhen Wu, Chi-Wei Lee, I-Tuan Chen, Yi-Chao Lee, Chi-Chen Huang, Chung-Hsi Hsing, Chih-Wei Tang, Hui-Ching Lin

“…The role of EETs in synaptic function in the central nervous system is still largely unknown. We found that pharmacological inhibition of sEH to stabilize endogenous EETs and exogenous 14,15-EET significantly increased the field excitatory postsynaptic potential (fEPSP) response in the CA1 area of the hippocampus, while additionally enhancing high-frequency stimulation- (HFS-) induced long-term potentiation (LTP) and forskolin- (FSK-) induced LTP. sEH inhibitor (sEHI) N-[1-(oxopropyl)-4-piperidinyl]-N’-[4-(trifluoromethoxy) phenyl)-urea (TPPU) and exogenous 14,15-EET increased HFS-LTP, which could be blocked by an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunit NR2B antagonist. …”

The clinical role of blood coagulation and platelet receptors gene allelic variants in development of cryoglobulinemic vasculitis at chronic hepatitis C by Yekaterina Ye. Starostina, M. V. Sokolova, L. M. Samokhodskaya, T. П. Rozina, T. N. Krasnova, Ye. B. Yarovaya, N. A. Mukhin

“…Patients with CGV allele C and CC homozygosity of the gene ITGB3 1565 T/C is associated to presence of renal diseases, while allele C genotypes (TC+CC) of ITGB3 1565 T/C gene is associated with involvement of muscular and nervous system. Conclusion. Carriage of mutant genotypes of PAI-675 5G/4G and ITGB3 1565 T/C genes is a factor which allows to predict CGV development in CHC patients, and can determine clinical manifestations of the latter.…”
