Is sequence and expression of NAPlr conserved among group A streptococci isolated from patients with acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis ( APSGN ) and non-APSGN?
These groups of streptococci that express NAPlr should be associated with APSGN, and this association may be independent of serotype or disease type.
These results demonstrate a subpopulation of preganglionic parasympathetic neurons in the sacral parasympathetic nucleus that are involved in uterine innervation. In addition, both acetylcholine and nitric oxide could be used to modify activity in the postganglionic neurons, which directly innervate the uterus.
