Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma restoration of endothelial glycocalyx in a rodent model of hemorrhagic shock.
Rosemary A. Kozar,Zhanglong Peng,Rongzhen Zhang,John B. Holcomb,Shibani Pati,Pyong Woo Park,Tien C. Ko,Angel Paredes +7 more
TL;DR: The protective effects of plasma may be due in part to its ability to restore the endothelial glycocalyx and preserve syndecan-1 after hemorrhagic shock.
Journal ArticleDOI
Length-tension relationships of small arteries, veins, and lymphatics from the rat mesenteric microcirculation
TL;DR: The pressure calculated from the optimal preload was significantly higher than that found previously in isobaric studies of isolated lymphatics, suggesting the capacity to operate at higher than normal pressures for increased responsiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of iberiotoxin-sensitive, Ca2+-activated K+ channels of porcine isolated left anterior descending coronary artery by diosgenin.
Alice Lai Shan Au,Ching Chi Kwok,Allen T C Lee,Yiu Wa Kwan,Macey Mei Sze Lee,Rongzhen Zhang,Sai-Ming Ngai,Simon Ming-Yuen Lee,Guo Wei He,Kwok-Pui Fung +9 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that diosgenin caused an acute, endothelium-independent coronary artery relaxation via protein kinase G signalling cascade and an activation of BK(Ca) channel of arterial smooth muscle cells.
Journal Article
Constitutive activation with overexpression of the mTORC2-phospholipase D1 pathway in uterine leiomyosarcoma and STUMP: morphoproteomic analysis with therapeutic implications.
Sadhna Dhingra,Michelle E. Rodriguez,Qi Shen,Xuizhen Duan,Melissa L. Stanton,Lei Chen,Rongzhen Zhang,Robert E. Brown +7 more
TL;DR: The results show significant activation with overexpression of phosphorylated mTORC2 complex in uterine leiomyosarcoma (ULMS) and smooth muscle tumors of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP) as evidenced by nuclear localization of p-mTOR (Ser 2448) in ULMS and STUMP and insight into their tumorigenic mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Length‐Dependence of Lymphatic Phasic Contractile Activity Under Isometric and Isobaric Conditions
Rongzhen Zhang,Rongzhen Zhang,Anatoliy A. Gashev,David C. Zawieja,Megan M. Lane,Michael J. Davis +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of preload on spontaneous contractile activity of rat mesenteric lymphatics would be different under isometric and isobaric conditions, with the amplitude of spontaneous force transients increasing with preload from 0.05 to 0.3 mN and remained constant at higher preloads.
