Many studies have been performed on the structure, molecular composition, and biochemical properties of tendons. However, comparatively little research has been conducted on the content of various trace elements within tendons. Six elements were analyzed in four regions of the peroneus longus tendon: the tensional part of the tendon immediately proximal to the lateral malleolus (region A), the compressive region of the tendon in contact with the lateral malleolus (region B), the compressive region of the tendon in contact with the deep surface of the cuboid (region C), and the tensional part of the tendon between the cuboid and first metatarsal, to which the tendon is attached (region D). Regions B and C are wraparound regions. The calcium content was higher in region C (2.10?±?0.93 mg/g) than in both regions A (1.25?±?0.51 mg/g) and D (1.43?±?0.41 mg/g) (p?<?0.05), indicating that it is likely related to regional differences in cartilage degeneration. The phosphorus content was also higher in region C, possibly because of low alkaline phosphatase activity in this region. The sulfur content was higher in the wraparound regions (region B: 0.98?±?0.09 mg/g, region C: 1.24?±?0.19 mg/g) than in both regions A (0.83?±?0.11 mg/g) and D (0.83?±?0.1 mg/g) (p?<?0.01); sulfur content is thought to be influenced by tendon–bone compression. Finally, the magnesium content in the wraparound regions was also higher, which is probably related to a higher level of fibrocartilage. No significant relationships were found with regard to zinc or iron. Overall, the findings of the present study indicate that element contents are related to function and anatomical differences in tendons, and that they may even vary within the same tendon. 相似文献

Two new isoflavonoids were isolated from red clover as germination inhibitors for the same plant and their structures were determined as a glucoside of biochanin A (7-d-β-glucosyl-5,7-dihydroxy-4′-methoxyisoflavone) (II) and its 5-malonate (I), respectively. Besides these compounds the following substances were also isolated as inhibitors: trifolirhizin (III), ononin (IV), daidzein (V) and its 7-glucoside (VI), formononetin (VII), genistein (VIII) and biochanin A (IX). 相似文献

This study evaluated the sleep quality of athletes in normobaric hypoxia at a simulated altitude of 2,000 m. Eight male athletes slept in normoxic condition (NC) and hypoxic conditions equivalent to those at 2,000-m altitude (HC). Polysomnographic recordings of sleep included the electroencephalogram (EEG), electrooculogram, chin surface electromyogram, and electrocardiogram. Thoracic and abdominal motion, nasal and oral airflow, and arterial blood oxygen saturation (Sa(O(2))) were also recorded. Standard visual sleep stage scoring and fast Fourier transformation analyses of the EEG were performed on 30-s epochs. Subjective sleepiness and urinary catecholamines were also monitored. Mean Sa(O(2)) decreased and respiratory disturbances increased with HC. The increase in respiratory disturbances was significant, but the increase was small and subclinical. The duration of slow-wave sleep (stage 3 and 4) and total delta power (<3 Hz) of the all-night non-rapid eye movement sleep EEG decreased for HC compared with NC. Subjective sleepiness and amounts of urinary catecholamines did not differ between the conditions. These results indicate that acute exposure to normobaric hypoxia equivalent to that at 2,000-m altitude decreased slow-wave sleep in athletes, but it did not change subjective sleepiness or amounts of urinary catecholamines. 相似文献

Background
Fibromatosis or desmoid tumor covers a broad spectrum of benign fibrous tissue proliferations. It is characterized by infiltrative growth and a tendency towards recurrence; however, unlike sarcoma, it never metastasizes. 相似文献5.
The skeletal attachment of tendons--tendon "entheses" 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Tendon entheses can be classed as fibrous or fibrocartilaginous according to the tissue present at the skeletal attachment site. The former can be "bony" or "periosteal", depending on whether the tendon is directly attached to bone or indirectly to it via the periosteum. At fibrocartilaginous entheses, the uncalcified fibrocartilage dissipates collagen fibre bending and tendon narrowing away from the tidemark; calcified fibrocartilage anchors the tendon to the bone and creates a diffusion barrier between the two. Where there are additional fibrocartilaginous specialisations in the tendon and/or bone next to the enthesis, an "enthesis organ" is created that reduces wear and tear. Little attention has been paid to bone at entheses, despite the obvious bearing this has on the mechanical properties of the interface and the clinical importance of avulsion fractures. Disorders at entheses (enthesopathies) are common and occur in conditions such as diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis and the seronegative spondyloarthropathies. They are also commonly seen as sporting injuries such as tennis elbow and jumper's knee. 相似文献

At around embryonic day 9, the primitive heart of a mouse embryo undergoes spectacular alterations within 24 hours. We created mice harboring an nls-lacZ gene in place of connexin45, which encodes the only known gap junction protein in the primitive heart before embryonic day 9, using the Cre-loxP system. Connexin45-deficient mice died of heart failure at around embryonic day 10. They initiated heart contractions, but conduction block appeared within 24 hours after the first contractions. Their cardiac walls displayed an endocardial cushion defect, while the cardiac jelly was present. These abnormalities were caused by impairment of the epithelial-mesenchymal transformation of the cardiac endothelium. Activation of the cardiac endothelium depended on the presence of the connexin45 gap junctions since signaling through Ca(2+)/calcineurin and NF-ATc1 (originally named NF-ATc) was disrupted in the mutant hearts. These results indicate a requirement for gap junction channels during early cardiogenesis and hence implicate connexin45 in congenital heart diseases. http://www. biologists.com/Development/movies/dev4369.html 相似文献

We previously reported that reduced platelet endogenous antioxidant enzymes activities are related to the low plasma zinc
level in patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRF). In this study, we attempt to evaluate whether dietary zinc deprivation
reduces the activities of endogenous antioxidant and then enhances oxidative stress in the unstimulated platelet of normal
and 5/6 nephrectomized (Nx) rats because increased platelet oxidative stress is suggested to involve in the incidence of thrombotic
and atherosclerotic diseases. Male Sprague–Dawley rats (n = 48) were fed a zinc-deficient diet and deionized distilled water for 1 week to induce reduction of plasma zinc level. Half
of the rats continued on this diet for 4 weeks as zinc-deplete group, and the other half were maintained on the same diet
but with zinc-supplemented water (120 mg/L zinc sulfate solution) to correct the reduction of plasma zinc level as zinc-replete
group. Half of each group underwent 5/6 Nx, while the other half underwent sham operation. Another 12 normal rats were fed
standard rat chow (containing 23.4% protein and 50 ppm zinc) and drank deionized distilled water as normal control rats. In
zinc-deplete rats including sham-operated and 5/6 Nx rats exhibited lower endogenous antioxidant enzymes activities such as
reduced glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and higher malondialdehyde (MDA) levels
than normal control rats in the unstimulated platelets. However, in zinc-replete rats including sham-operated and 5/6 Nx rats
have a normal endogenous antioxidant enzymes activity and normal MDA levels in the unstimulated platelets. We suggest that
in uremia, the low plasma zinc level may be a risk factor for thrombotic and atherosclerotic diseases because it reduces the
activities of endogenous antioxidant enzymes and increases oxidative stress in the unstimulated platelet.

We investigated the effects of fasudil, a Rho kinase inhibitor, on hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats and on the catecholamine synthetic pathway. Ten-week-old male SHR and Wistar-Kyoto rats were administered fasudil (10 mg/kg/day s.c.) for 4 days. Systolic blood pressure was measured using the tail-cuff method. Catecholamine levels were measured with high-performance liquid chromatography-ECD methods. Tyrosine hydroxylase protein levels were measured in Western blot analysis. The tyrosine hydroxylase mRNA level was measured using real-time PCR methods. Fasudil significantly decreased systolic blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats, but not in Wistar-Kyoto rats. Fasudil also significantly decreased catecholamine, tyrosine hydroxylase protein, and tyrosine hydroxylase mRNA levels in the adrenal medulla of spontaneously hypertensive rats. These results suggest that the depressor effects of fasudil on hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats may be related to inhibition of the catecholamine synthetic pathway. 相似文献

Vertebral columns were dissected and analyzed after birth with oral administration of silicon for 4 wk and for 8 wk. The silicon
level was lower (20 μg/g) at the beginning. It remains unchanged after 4 wk and then increases twice as much as that for those
mice bred for 8 wk than those bred for 4 wk. This increase depends remarkably on the mass ratio of Si/Ca (M/M). The ratio increases to three times higher than that of the control at the beginning of the experiments (5 wk after birth).
Although the S and P contents appeared to be lower, these increased when Si was administered in combination with phosphopeptide.
Other elements, such as Ca, Mg, Fe, and Zn, appeared to be unchanged as the weeks proceeded. These findings seem to support
a proposal that silicon is necessary for the growth of backbones in mice. 相似文献

Effect of NaCl-tolerant lactic acid bacteria and NaCl on the fermentation characteristics and aerobic stability of silage 总被引:5,自引:1,他引:4
NaCl-tolerant lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains LC-10 ( Lactobacillus casei ) and LP-15 ( Lact. plantarum ) and NaCl were used as additives to sorghun ( Sorghum bicolor ). Numbers of LAB were significantly ( P < 0·05) higher in all the additive-treated silages than in the control silage at an early stage of ensiling. During the fermentation process, addition of NaCl or LAB effectively inhibited the growth of aerobic bacteria and clostridia, but not yeasts. All the additive-treated silages had significantly ( P < 0·05) lower pH, ammonia nitrogen content, dry matter loss and gas production but significantly ( P < 0·05) higher lactic acid content and residual water soluble carbohydrates compared with the control silage. The improvement in silage quality was in the order : LAB > NaCl > control. Yeast counts were high in all additive-based silages and they increased during the exposure of the silages to air. As a result, these silages suffered aerobic deterioration, whereas the control silage was stable. The results confirmed that the NaCl or LAB improved fermentation quality but did not prevent aerobic deterioration of the silage. 相似文献
