25. Scratching Behavior and Fos Expression in Superficial Dorsal Horn Elicited by Protease-Activated Receptor Agonists and Other Itch Mediators in Mice
Protease-activated receptor (PAR)-2 and PAR-4 are implicated in nonhistaminergic itch. We investigated dose dependence, tachyphylaxis, and cross-tachyphylaxis of itch-associated scratching elicited by intradermal injections of PAR-2 and PAR-4 agonists, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), and histamine in ICR mice, as well as μ-opioid modulation of PA

26. Mysterious form of referred sensation in man.
A phenomenon is described in which scratching a small excrescence on the skin on one part of the body is referred to a distant point as a "prick" or a "tingle". "Referral" points are elicited mainly by absent-minded scratching of the skin when attention is not focused on the local sensation produced by the scratch. Location of "referral" points seems to foll

27. Scratching the (T cell) surface
Using a genome-scale approach to study transcription levels in a human CD8+ T-cell clone, a recent study has suggested that the repertoire of molecules on the surface of T cells is close to being completely characterized.

28. Self-inflicted corneal injuries in children with congenital corneal anaesthesia.
Severe corneal ulceration related to self-inflicted injury in the presence of congenital corneal anaesthesia is described in four boys under 2 1/2 years of age. The ulcers had failed to heal until it was recognised that the children were scratching their own eyes. The application of arm splints allowed rapid healing. Although corneal ulceration is a recognis

29. Modification of Escherichia coli B glutathione synthetase with polyethylene glycol for clinical application to enzyme replacement therapy for glutathione deficiency.
Glutathione synthetase of Escherichia coli B was modified with polyethylene glycol, and the properties of the resultant modified enzyme were investigated. The thermal stability of the modified enzyme and its resistance against several proteases increased compared with those of the native enzyme. The modified enzyme was injected intravenously via the rat tail

30. Anatomical and physiological evidence for involvement of tuberoinfundibular peptide of 39 residues in nociception
The parathyroid hormone 2 (PTH2) receptor's anatomical distribution suggests that, among other functions, it may be involved in modulation of nociception. We localized PTH2 receptor protein to spinal cord lamina II and showed that it is synthesized by subpopulations of primary sensory neurons and intrinsic spinal cord dorsal horn neurons. Tuberoinfundibular

31. Injuries of the heart and great vessels due to pins and needles
Three instances of cardiac injury from needles in two adults are described. Trauma was accidental in one and due to suicidal attempts in the other two. The objects were removed. There are 157 published accounts of wounding of the heart and/or great vessels by pins and needles. The victims have ranged from infants to the elderly. Causative agencies were accid

32. Acute lethal toxicity following passive immunization for treatment of murine cryptococcosis.
Passive immunization with monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for the major capsular polysaccharide of Cryptococcus neoformans alters the course of murine cryptococcosis. During studies of passive immunization for treatment of murine cryptococcosis, we noted the occurrence of an acute, lethal toxicity. Toxicity was characterized by scratching, lethargy, re

33. Vaccination with an attenuated Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease strain prevents expression of a virulent agent
Although slow and persistent viruses often escape host defenses infection may be prevented by live vaccines. To determine whether an attenuated “slow” strain of the Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease agent (SY) could block expression of a virulent “fast” strain (FU), outbred CD-1 mice were inoculated intracerebrally with low infectious doses of SY and chall

34. Identification and partial characterization of a prolactin-like hormone produced by rat decidual tissue.
Previous studies have strongly, but indirectly, suggested that rat decidual tissue produces a prolactin-like hormone, decidual luteotropin, which markedly affects luteal cell function. However, it was also found that extracts of decidual tissue do not cross-react with antisera to either rat or ovine prolactin (PRL). The purpose of this study was to determine
