5-hydroxytryptamine-3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonists inhibit gastric phase-3 motor activity in the dog. This study examined the role of 5-HT3 receptors in the generation of gastric phase 3 of the migrating motor complex in humans.', 'Interdigestive motor activity was recorded manometrically in 16 subjects before and after administration of ondansetron, a selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. Plasma motilin values were also assayed in 7 individuals. The incidence of gastric activity fronts before and after ondansetron was compared with a control group that had not received ondansetron. The ability of erythromycin to induce a gastric activity front in the presence of ondansetron was also evaluated in 7 subjects.', 'The incidence of gastric activity fronts was 69% before ondansetron vs. 19% after ondansetron. In contrast, in the control group there was no significant change in the incidence of gastric activity fronts over time. Activity fronts preceding ondansetron were associated with motilin peaks while activity fronts after ondansetron were not. Despite the previous administration of ondansetron, erythromycin induced gastric activity fronts in 89% of cases.

Ex Output:
Are 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 receptors involved in the initiation of gastric phase-3 motor activity in humans?

It is known that noxious stimuli from inflamed tissue may increase the excitability of spinal dorsal horn neurons (a process known as central sensitization), which can signal back and contribute to peripheral inflammation. However, the underlying mechanisms have yet to be fully defined. A number of recent studies have indicated that spinal NF-κB/p65 is involved in central sensitization, as well as pain-related behavior. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine whether NF-κB/p65 can facilitate a peripheral inflammatory response in rat adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA).', "Lentiviral vectors encoding short hairpin RNAs that target NF-κB/p65 (LV-shNF-κB/p65) were constructed for gene silencing. The spines of rats with AIA were injected with LV-shNF-κB/p65 on day 3 or day 10 after treatment with Freund's complete adjuvant (CFA). During an observation period of 20 days, pain-related behavior, paw swelling, and joint histopathologic changes were evaluated. Moreover, the expression levels of spinal tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) were assessed on day 14 after CFA treatment.", 'The presence of peripheral inflammation in rats with AIA induced an increase in NF-κB/p65 expression in the spinal cord, mainly in the dorsal horn neurons and astrocytes. Delivery of LV-shNF-κB/p65 to the spinal cord knocked down the expression of NF-κB/p65 and significantly attenuated hyperalgesia, paw edema, and joint destruction. In addition, spinal delivery of LV-shNF-κB/p65 reduced the overexpression of spinal TNFα, IL-1β, and COX-2.

Ex Output:
Does activation of spinal NF-κB/p65 contribute to peripheral inflammation and hyperalgesia in rat adjuvant-induced arthritis?

KIR genes coding for natural killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors, KIR, influence the effector and regulatory function of NK cells as well as some subpopulations of T lymphocytes (e.g. CD4+CD28-KIR+) depending on presence of ligands (particularly HLA-C molecules). KIR-KIR ligand interaction may lead to the development of autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, their role in the response of RA patients to methotrexate therapy is not known.', 'KIR genes and KIR-ligand (HLA-C C1/C2 allomorphs) genotyping was performed using the PCR-SSP method in 312 RA patients (179 classified as good responders and 133 as poor responders using DAS28 criteria). Thus, we evaluated the association of KIR genes and HLA-C allomorphs with the response to methotrexate (MTX) treatment.', 'We observed that patients possessing the full-length KIR2DS4 (KIR2DS4f) gene had a lower chance of responding in comparison to KIR2DS4f-negative cases. This phenomenon was observed both in erosive disease (ED) and rheumatoid factor (RF) positive and in ED- and RF-negative patients. Interestingly, the observed effect of the KIR2DS4f gene was strongest in individuals possessing medium values (20-33 mm/h) of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Patients with high ESR values had low probability and, in contrast, patients with low ESR had a high probability of MTX response, and the presence of KIR2DS4f did not affect their outcome. Additionally, we show that the KIR2DS4f effect did not depend on the presence of either C1 or C2 allomorphs.
