Ca2+ currents in smooth muscle cells isolated from human prostate.

BACKGROUND: The objective of the investigation was to demonstrate the presence of voltage-dependent Ca2+ current in human prostate smooth muscle cells and to determine their biophysical characteristics. METHODS: Prostate smooth muscle cells were isolated from biopsy samples of human prostates obtained from prostatectomy specimens or TURP chips. Electrophysiological recordings were made under current- or voltage-clamp using patch-type electrodes. RESULTS: The average resting potential of prostate myocytes was 63 +/- 11 mV and action potentials (APs) could be elicited when K+ currents were blocked. With K-filled electrodes inward current was followed by a large outward component. When K+ currents were blocked a large Ca2+-sensitive inward current was measured. The inward current could be divided into two components, a fraction blocked by 30 microM verapamil and another by 20 microM NiCl2. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the sensitivity to antagonists and holding potential both L-type and T-type Ca2+ channels were identified in human prostate smooth muscle.

Detection of Helicobacter species DNA by quantitative PCR in the gastrointestinal tract of healthy individuals and of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

In many animal species different intestinal Helicobacter species have been described and a few species are associated with intestinal infection. In humans, the only member of the Helicobacter family which is well described in literature is Helicobacter pylori. No other Helicobacter-associated diseases have definitely been shown in humans. We developed a sensitive quantitative PCR to investigate whether Helicobacter species DNA can be detected in the human gastrointestinal tract. We tested gastric biopsies (including biopsies from H. pylori positive persons), intestinal mucosal biopsies and fecal samples from healthy persons, and intestinal mucosal biopsies from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) for the presence of Helicobacter species. All gastric biopsies, positive for H. pylori by culture, were also positive in our newly developed PCR. No Helicobacter species were found in the mucosal biopsies from patients with IBD (n = 50) nor from healthy controls (n = 25). All fecal samples were negative. Our study suggests that Helicobacter species, other than H. pylori, are not present in the normal human gastrointestinal flora and our results do not support a role of Helicobacter species in IBD.

Neurofibromatosis type I with periodontal manifestation. A case report and literature review.

The term neurofibromatosis (NF) is used for a group of genetic disorders that primarily affect the cell growth of neural tissues. Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), also known as von Recklinghausen's disease, is the most common type of NF and accounts for about 90% of all cases. It is one of the most frequent human genetic diseases, with a prevalence of one case in 3,000 births. The expressivity of NF1 is extremely variable, with manifestations ranging from mild lesions to several complications and functional impairment. Oral manifestations can be found in almost 72% of NF1 patients. A case of a NF1 patient with a gingival neurofibroma in the attached gingiva of the lingual aspect of the lower central incisors is presented. The lesion was nodular, with sessile base, non-ulcerated, non-painful, with normal colour and measured 1 cm in diameter. An excisional biopsy of the oral lesion was performed. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the clinical hypothesis of neurofibroma. Because NF1 is one of the most common genetic diseases and oral manifestations are very common, dentists should be aware of the characteristics of this disease.
