Abstract
We have found that multidendritic nociceptors in the head respond to harsh touch throughout their receptive field but respond to gentle touch only at the tip of the nose. Whereas the harsh touch response depends solely on cell-autonomous mechanosensory channels, gentle nose touch responses require f...

Abstract
Knowledge of airflow in animal noses is sparse. Such knowledge could be important for selection of animal models used in environmental studies. From the phylogenetic and ontogenetic point of view, a comparison between the animal and human nose is interesting.
Nose mod...

Abstract
Acoustic Rhinometry, Rhinomanometry, Nasal Spirometry and Nasal Peak Inspiratory flow (NPIF) all measure subtly different constructs of nasal function. All have limitations but NPIF is simple and quick to integrate into clinical practice. The minimum clinically important difference (...

We developed a new trivalent inactivated vaccine, Kyoto Biken Feline-CPR, consisting of three FCV strains; one was the production strain of our previous vaccine, and the others were screened from 60 field isolates obtained between 1998 and 2000 based on cross-neutralization tests. In this report, th...

Abstract
Epithelial/ectodermal plug formation in the developing nose, ear, and eye regions is followed by canalization/recanalization mediated by cell death. However, the mechanism is not well understood. Recently, substance P (SP)-mediated cell death, rather than cell apoptosis, has been reported in neurona...

Abstract
We have evaluated GL67A gene transfer to the murine nasal epithelium of wild-type and CF knockout mice to assess this tissue as a test site for gene transfer agents. The plasmids used were regulated by either (1) the commonly used short-acting cytomegalovirus promoter/enhancer or (2) the ubiquitin C...

Of the 468 HCWs, 213 (45.5%) participants were men and 255 (54.5%) were women. Eighty five (18.2%) were nasal carriers of S. aureus, 07 (1.5%) for MRSA, 343 (73.3%) for CoNS and 10 (2.1%) for MRCoNS. The highest carriage rate for S. aureus was in midwives (30%) followed by maintenance staff (28.6%),...

The nose is a promising immunization site and intranasal (i.n.) vaccination studies with whole inactivated influenza virus (WIV) adjuvanted with N,N,N-trimethylchitosan (TMC-WIV) have shown promising results. In this study, the influence of TMC on the i.n. delivery of WIV was studied in mice by comp...

Injury stimulated the nasal fibroblasts to express uPA and tPA and active and inactive MMP-2 and -9. In CRS patients, plasminogen significantly decreased MMP-9 expression after 48 hours (p < 0.04). In untreated fibroblasts, we observed a decrease in active MMP-9 expression, whereas plasminogen incre...
