Botulinum Toxin Type A In The Prophylactic Treatment Of Chronic Tension-Type Headache: A Multicentre, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study, Stephen D. Silberstein, H. Göbel, R. Jensen, A. H. Elkind, R. Degryse, J. M.C.M. Walcott, C. Turkel Jul 2006

Department of Neurology Faculty Papers

We studied the safety and efficacy of 0 U, 50 U, 100 U, 150 U (five sites), 86 Usub and 100 Usub (three sites) botulinum toxin type A (BoNTA; BOTOX); Allergan, Inc., Irvine, CA, USA) for the prophylaxis of chronic tension-type headache (CTTH). Three hundred patients (62.3% female; mean age 42.6 years) enrolled. For the primary endpoint, the mean change from baseline in the number of TTH-free days per month, there was no statistically significant difference between placebo and four BoNTA groups, but a significant difference favouring placebo vs. BoNTA 150 was observed (4.5 vs. 2.8 tension headache-free days/month; P …

Antioxidant Enzyme Gene Delivery To Protect From Hiv-1 Gp120-Induced Neuronal Apoptosis, Lokesh Agrawal, Jean-Pierre Louboutin, Beverly A.S. Reyes, Elisabeth J. Van Bockstaele, David S. Strayer Jul 2006

Antioxidant Enzyme Gene Delivery To Protect From Hiv-1 Gp120-Induced Neuronal Apoptosis, Lokesh Agrawal, Jean-Pierre Louboutin, Beverly A.S. Reyes, Elisabeth J. Van Bockstaele, David S. Strayer

Department of Pathology, Anatomy, and Cell Biology Faculty Papers

Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection in the central nervous system (CNS) may lead to neuronal loss and progressively deteriorating CNS function: HIV-1 gene products, especially gp120, induce free radical-mediated apoptosis. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), are among the potential mediators of these effects. Neurons readily form ROS after gp120 exposure, and so might be protected from ROS-mediated injury by antioxidant enzymes such as Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) and/or glutathione peroxidase (GPx1). Both enzymes detoxify oxygen free radicals. Because they are highly efficient gene delivery vehicles for neurons, recombinant SV40-derived vectors were used for these studies. Cultured mature neurons derived from NT2 cells …


Quantifying Gene Network Connectivity In Silico: Scalability And Accuracy Of A Modular Approach, Nirupama Yalamanchili, Daniel E. Zak, Babatunde A. Ogunnaike, James S. Schwaber, Andres Kriete, Boris N. Kholodenko Jul 2006

Quantifying Gene Network Connectivity In Silico: Scalability And Accuracy Of A Modular Approach, Nirupama Yalamanchili, Daniel E. Zak, Babatunde A. Ogunnaike, James S. Schwaber, Andres Kriete, Boris N. Kholodenko

Department of Pathology, Anatomy, and Cell Biology Faculty Papers

Large, complex data sets that are generated from microarray experiments, create a need for systematic analysis techniques to unravel the underlying connectivity of gene regulatory networks. A modular approach, previously proposed by Kholodenko and co-workers, helps to scale down the network complexity into more computationally manageable entities called modules. A functional module includes a gene's mRNA, promoter and resulting products, thus encompassing a large set of interacting states. The essential elements of this approach are described in detail for a three-gene model network and later extended to a ten-gene model network, demonstrating scalability. The network architecture is identified by analysing …


Comparison Of Dynamic (Brush) And Static (Pressure) Mechanical Allodynia In Migraine, C. Lopinto, W. B. Young, Avi Ashkenazi Jul 2006

Comparison Of Dynamic (Brush) And Static (Pressure) Mechanical Allodynia In Migraine, C. Lopinto, W. B. Young, Avi Ashkenazi

Department of Neurology Faculty Papers

Allodynia has been described in migraine but has not been fully investigated for the different sensory modalities. The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of dynamic (brush) and static (pressure) mechanical allodynia in migraine patients and to suggest a practical method of testing them in a clinical setting. Patients with International Headache Society-defined episodic migraine (EM) or with transformed migraine (TM) as defined by Silberstein and Lipton were prospectively recruited from the Jefferson Headache Center out-patient clinic. A questionnaire of migraine features and symptoms of allodynia was administered. Brush allodynia (BA) was tested by cutaneous stimulation with …

Systems Analysis Of Circadian Time-Dependent Neuronal Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Signaling, Daniel E. Zak, Haiping Hao, Rajanikanth Vadigepalli, Gregory M. Miller, Babatunde A. Ogunnaike, James S. Schwaber Jun 2006

Systems Analysis Of Circadian Time-Dependent Neuronal Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Signaling, Daniel E. Zak, Haiping Hao, Rajanikanth Vadigepalli, Gregory M. Miller, Babatunde A. Ogunnaike, James S. Schwaber

Department of Pathology, Anatomy, and Cell Biology Faculty Papers

Background

Identifying the gene regulatory networks governing physiological signal integration remains an important challenge in circadian biology. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been implicated in circadian function and is expressed in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), the core circadian pacemaker. The transcription networks downstream of EGFR in the SCN are unknown but, by analogy to other SCN inputs, we expect the response to EGFR activation to depend on circadian timing.

Results

We have undertaken a systems-level analysis of EGFR circadian time-dependent signaling in the SCN. We collected gene-expression profiles to study how the SCN response to EGFR activation depends on …
