Background
Although non-specific pain in the upper limb muscles of workers engaged in mild repetitive tasks is a common occupational health problem, much is unknown about the associated structural and biochemical changes. In this study, we compared the muscle energy metabolism of the extrinsic finger extensor musculature in instrumentalists suffering from work-related pain with that of healthy control instrumentalists using non-invasive phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P-MRS). We hypothesize that the affected muscles will show alterations related with an impaired energy metabolism.Methodology/Principal Findings
We studied 19 volunteer instrumentalists (11 subjects with work-related pain affecting the extrinsic finger extensor musculature and 8 healthy controls). We used 31P-MRS to find deviations from the expected metabolic response to exercise in phosphocreatine (PCr), inorganic phosphate (Pi), Pi/PCr ratio and intracellular pH kinetics. We observed a reduced finger extensor exercise tolerance in instrumentalists with myalgia, an intracellular pH compartmentation in the form of neutral and acid compartments, as detected by Pi peak splitting in 31P-MRS spectra, predominantly in myalgic muscles, and a strong association of this pattern with the condition.Conclusions/Significance
Work-related pain in the finger extrinsic extensor muscles is associated with intracellular pH compartmentation during exercise, non-invasively detectable by 31P-MRS and consistent with the simultaneous energy production by oxidative metabolism and glycolysis. We speculate that a deficit in energy production by oxidative pathways may exist in the affected muscles. Two possible explanations for this would be the partial and/or local reduction of blood supply and the reduction of the muscle oxidative capacity itself. 相似文献2.

The roots and aerial parts of Tephrosia major Micheli, afforded a new prenylated-beta-hydroxychalcone, characterized as 2',6'-dihydroxy-3'-prenyl-4'-methoxy-beta-hydroxychalcone. In addition, seven prenylated flavonoids, two rotenoids, beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol, lupeol and quercetin were isolated. The structure of the new beta-hydroxy chalcone was established by spectroscopic methods, including 2D NMR experiments. 相似文献

Several pathogens including Gram-negative bacteria hijack complement regulators to escape host's innate response. Pathogenic Leptospira species bind Factor H, C4b binding protein and vitronectin from the complement system. We evaluated the ability of low passage (LP) and culture-attenuated (CA) pathogenic strains of Leptospira, to bind Factor H. We used LOCaS46 (Leptospira interrogans sv Canicola), LOVe30 (L. interrogans sv Icterohaemorrhagiae) and MOCA45 (L. santarosai sv Tarassovi), and ten high passage strains of Leptospira [used in the microscopic agglutination test (MAT)]. Afterwards, we assessed their survival in normal human serum (NHS). Interestingly, the ability in binding Factor H was higher for LOCaS46 and LOVe30 LP strains, than for the respective CA strains suggesting that the ability of evading the alternative complement pathway is lost after culture attenuation. Accordingly, the level of mRNA expression of the Factor H binding proteins, LigA, LigB and Lsa23 was higher in these LP strains than in the corresponding CA strains. Unexpectedly, no difference in Factor H binding and surviving was observed between LP and CA MOCA45 strains. The high passage MAT-reference strains showed variation in Factor H binding ability, but, in most cases, the ability for capturing Factor H by Leptospira strains correlated with their survival in NHS. 相似文献
