Prenatal ethanol exposure is the leading preventable cause of congenital mental disability. Whereas a diagnosis of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) requires identification of a specific pattern of craniofacial dysmorphology, most individuals with behavioral and neurological sequelae of heavy prenatal ethanol exposure do not exhibit these defining facial characteristics. Here, a novel integration of MRI and dense surface modeling-based shape analysis was applied to characterize concurrent face-brain phenotypes in C57Bl/6J fetuses exposed to ethanol on gestational day (GD)7 or GD8.5. The facial phenotype resulting from ethanol exposure depended upon stage of insult and was predictive of unique patterns of corresponding brain abnormalities. Ethanol exposure on GD7 produced a constellation of dysmorphic facial features characteristic of human FAS, including severe midfacial hypoplasia, shortening of the palpebral fissures, an elongated upper lip, and deficient philtrum. In contrast, ethanol exposure on GD8.5 caused mild midfacial hypoplasia and palpebral fissure shortening, a shortened upper lip, and a preserved philtrum. These distinct, stage-specific facial phenotypes were associated with unique volumetric and shape abnormalities of the septal region, pituitary, and olfactory bulbs. By demonstrating that early prenatal ethanol exposure can cause more than one temporally-specific pattern of defects, these findings illustrate the need for an expansion of current diagnostic criteria to better capture the full range of facial and brain dysmorphology in fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. 相似文献

Purpose: To compare the clinical success of a self-adhesive resin cement used in combination with different adhesive bonding systems with that of a conventional dual-cure resin cement. Methods: The study was performed with 136 freshly extracted molars embedded in acrylic resin blocks and 136 IPS e.max Press discs. Teeth and discs were randomly divided into four equal groups and cemented together using either RelyX ARC (ARC), RelyX Unicem (Unicem), RelyX Unicem+Adper-Prompt L-pop (L-pop), or RelyX and Unicem+Total-etch (Total-etch). Shear bond strength measurements were obtained before and after thermocycling. Following bond testing, the surfaces of one sample per subgroup (thermocycled and non-thermocycled), were assessed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results: Among the non-thermocylced subgroups, ARC exhibited the highest bond strength values, followed by Total Etch, Unicem and L-pop. ARC also exhibited the highest bond strength values among the thermocycled subgroups, followed by Unicem, Total-etch, and L-pop. SEM analysis clearly revealed the negative effects of thermo-cycling on the mechanical properties of adhesive agents. Conclusions: RelyX Unicem may be preferable in many cases because of its simplified application and reduced technique-sensitivity. 相似文献

Numerous studies have investigated the potential impact of migration on psychiatric morbidity levels. Relatively little research
has studied how the symptom profiles of patients with similar disorders and similar backgrounds are linked to the culture
in which they live. Such research requires comparisons of immigrant patient samples with samples of patient who remain in
their country of origin. In this study we compared symptoms in Turkish patients with depression living in Ankara, Turkey,
and Berlin, Germany. To understand symptoms of patients with depression, not only the culture of origin but also the cultural
context in which patients have been living needs to be considered as an important factor. The new culture can be associated
with distinct, and not necessarily more serious, symptom profiles. 相似文献

Purpose: To determine vibration parameters affecting the amplitude of the reflex activity of soleus muscle during low-amplitude whole-body vibration (WBV).Materials and methods: This study was conducted on 19 participants. Vibration frequencies of 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50?Hz were used. Surface electromyography, collision force between vibration platform and participant’s heel measured using a force sensor, and acceleration measured using an accelerometer fixed to the vibration platform were simultaneously recorded.Results: The collision force was the main independent predictor of electromyographic amplitude.Conclusion: The essential parameter of vibration affecting the amplitude of the reflex muscle activity is the collision force. 相似文献

The relationship between serum cytokine levels with obesity and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) may have a direct effect on glucose and lipid metabolism. On the other hand, it is known that IL-6 and TNF-alpha are important pro-inflammatory cytokines in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The goal of present study was to test whether sleep apnea contributes to the previously reported increases of IL-6 and TNF-alpha independent of obesity. Forty-three obese (body mass index, BMI>27 kg/m2) men with newly diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) (apnea-hypopnea index, AHI> or =5) and age- and BMI-matched 22 obese nonapneic male controls (AHI<5) were enrolled in this study. To confirm the diagnosis, all patients underwent standard polysomnography in the sleep disorders center. Serum samples were taken at 08:00 h in the morning after overnight fasting. Serum IL-6 and TNF-alpha levels were found significantly higher in OSAS patients than in controls (p=0.002, p=0.03). Serum IL-6 and TNF-alpha levels were significantly correlated with AHI in OSAS patients (r=0.03, p=0.046 and r=0.36, p=0.016). There was no significant correlation between serum IL-6, TNF-alpha levels and AHI in controls. Serum IL-6 and TNF-alpha levels were not correlated with BMI both in OSAS patients and controls. In conclusion, circulating IL-6 and TNF-alpha levels in patients with OSAS, as independent of BMI are significantly higher than levels in controls and there is a positive relationship between previously mentioned cytokines' levels and the severity of OSAS. According to these results, the link between cardiovascular morbidity and OSAS may be explained by the coexistence of other cardiovascular risk factors such as circulating IL-6 and TNF-alpha levels. 相似文献

Hirsutism is a clinical condition commonly encountered in the practice of primary care medicine. The etiology and the age of the patient when it occurs vary widely. Causes range from a basic illness or condition (drug exposure, smoking, idiopathic, and obesity) to complex and serious diseases (Cushing's syndrome, neoplasms, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, insulin-resistance syndromes, hyperprolactinemia, polycystic ovary syndrome, and hyperthecosis). Hirsutism may appear in childhood as well as in older persons. Some drugs (oral contraceptives, L-thyroxine, danazol, and diazoxide), tobacco smoke, some syndromes (polycystic ovary syndrome, obesity, insulin resistance, hyperprolactinemia, hyperthecosis, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and idiopathic), and some neoplasms (adrenal or ovarian) may lead to hirsutism. The most frequently defined "causes" of hirsutism are polycystic ovary syndrome and idiopathic hirsutism. In hirsutism of gradual onset, hyperprolactinemia, insulin-resistance syndromes, hyperthecosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, and idiopathic hirsutism may be responsible. Cushing's syndrome, neoplasms, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia should be suspected if there has been rapid onset. 相似文献
