BACKGROUND: Teratomas are the most common type of childhood germ cell tumor, arising in both ovary and extragonadal locations. From 40% to 50% of the extragonadal teratomas occur in the sacrococcygeal region. Teratomas in the head, neck, brain, mediastinum, abdominal, and spinal cord locations are seen less frequently. Congenital anomalies are observed up to 26% of the cases with teratoma. METHODS: A 2-day-old newborn was admitted to the hospital because of a mass in the interscapular region. She was evaluated for this and other anomalies. The mass was excised totally, and histopathologic evaluation was done. RESULTS: Histopathologic examination of the mass revealed a mature teratoma. In addition, the child had a Taussig-Bing anomaly of the heart. CONCLUSIONS: This appears to be the first report of the association between congenital thoracic spinal cord teratoma and Taussig-Bing anomaly, a specific type of transposition of the great arteries. 相似文献

Thermopsis turcica is distributed naturally in saline soils. Interestingly, how T. turcica can live in harsh salt conditions is unknown. To study its defense responses under salinity, T. turcica was grown in a medium containing 100 and 200 mM NaCl for 7 and 14 days. Physiological parameters, ion contents, reactive oxygen species accumulation, activities of antioxidant enzymes/isozymes, NADPH oxidase enzyme/isozyme, lipid peroxidation (TBARS) and osmolyte contents were investigated. Stress caused a rapid decline in relative growth rate, relative water content and chlorophyll fluorescence (F v/F m) under both NaCl treatments. These traits were more suppressed at 200 mM NaCl. The decline in osmotic potential (Ψ Π) with salinity increased the gradient for water flux into the cell and assisted in turgor maintenance. The increased membrane permeability under stress caused the entrance of excess Na+ and K+ into the cell. Stress decreased superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase after 14 days of growth in 200 mM NaCl, whereas glutathione reductase (GR) increased throughout the experiment. While ascorbate peroxidase (APX) increased by 44 % at 7 days, it decreased after 14 days exposure to 200 mM NaCl. 200 mM NaCl caused the highest increase in TBARS at 14 days, indicating a decrease in OH· scavenging activity. Increasing concentrations of salinity caused an increase in glycine betaine (GB) and choline (Cho), though an increase in proline was only observed at 200 mM NaCl for 14 days. Briefly, H2O2 was more efficiently eliminated in 100 mM-treated plants by the ascorbate–glutathione cycle in which APX acts a strong catalyst together with GR. Also, Cho and GB help to maintain osmotic adjustment and cytoplasmic function. 相似文献

The present study was designed to examine whether exogenous sodium nitroprusside (SNP) supplementation has any ameliorating action against PEG-induced osmotic stress in Zea mays cv. FRB-73 roots. Twenty percent or 40 % polyethylene glycol (PEG6000; ?0.5 MPa and ?1.76 MPa, respectively) treatment alone or in combination with 150 and 300 μM SNP was applied to hydroponically grown maize roots for 72 h. Although only catalase (CAT) activity increased when maize roots were exposed to PEG-induced osmotic stress, induction of this antioxidant enzyme was inadequate to detoxify the extreme levels of reactive oxygen species, as evidenced by growth, water content, superoxide anion radical (O 2 ?? ), hydroxyl radical (OH?) scavenging activity, and TBARS content. However, supplementation of PEG-exposed specimens with SNP significantly alleviated stress-induced damage through effective water management and enhancement of antioxidant defense markers including the enzymatic/non-enzymatic systems. Exogenously applied SNP under stress resulted in the up-regulation of glutathione peroxidase (GPX), glutathione S-transferase (GST), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR), total ascorbate, and glutathione contents involved in ascorbate–glutathione cycle. On the other hand, growth rate, osmotic potential, CAT, APX, GR, and GPX increased in maize roots exposed to both concentrations of SNP alone, but activities of monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) and dehydroascorbate reductase decreased. Based on the above results, an exogenous supply of both 150 and 300 μM SNP to maize roots was protective for PEG-induced toxicity. The present study provides new insights into the mechanisms of SNP (NO donor) amelioration of PEG-induced osmotic stress damages in hydroponically grown maize roots. 相似文献

Sphaerophysa kotschyana is a Turkish endemic and endangered plant that grows near Salt Lake, in Konya, Turkey. However, little is known about the ability of this plant to generate/remove reactive oxygen species (ROS) or its adaptive biochemical responses to saline environments. After exposure of S. kotschyana to 0, 150, and 300 mM NaCl for 7 and 14 days, we investigated (1) the activities and isozyme compositions of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and glutathione reductase (GR); (2) the oxidative stress parameters NADPH oxidase (NOX) activity, lipid peroxidation (MDA), total ascorbate (tAsA) content, and total glutathione content (tGlut); and (3) ROS levels for superoxide anion radical (O 2 ·? ), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydroxyl radicals (OH·), and histochemical staining of O 2 ·? and H2O2. H2O2 content increased after 14 days of salt stress, which was consistent with the results from histochemical staining and NOX activity measurements. In contrast, oxidative stress induced by 150 mM NaCl was more efficiently prevented, as indicated by low malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and especially at 7 days, by increased levels of SOD, POX, APX, and GR. However, at 300 mM NaCl, decreased levels of protective enzymes such as SOD, CAT, POX, and GR, particularly with long-term stress (14 days), resulted in limited ROS scavenging activity and increased MDA levels. Moreover, at 300 mM NaCl, the high H2O2 content caused oxidative damage rather than inducing protective responses against H2O2. These results suggest that S. kotschyana is potentially tolerant to salt-induced damage only at low salt concentrations. 相似文献

In this study, physiological and biochemical responses of Centaurea tuzgoluensis, a Turkish endemic halophyte, to salinity were studied. Therefore, the changes in shoot growth, leaf relative water content (RWC), ion concentrations, lipid peroxidation, hydroxyl (OH.) radical scavenging activity, proline (Pro) content, and antioxidant system [superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR)] were investigated. The 60 days (d) old C. tuzgoluensis seedlings were subjected to 0, 150 and 300 mM NaCl for 7 d and 14 d. The relative shoot growth was generally did not change in the 150 mM NaCl, but reduced with 300 mM NaCl stress at 7 d and 14 d. RWC was higher in 150 mM NaCl-treated leaves than that of 300 mM NaCl. Salinity decreased K+/Na+ ratio, but increased Na+, Cl?, Ca+2 and Na+/Cl? ratio in the leaves. On the other hand, it did not change or increase the K+ content at 150 and 300 mM NaCl, respectively. MDA content in the 150 and 300 mM NaCl-treated leaves remained close to control at 7 d. This was related to enhanced activities of SOD, CAT, APX and GR enzymes, and their isoenzymes especially Fe-SOD in the leaves. On the other hand, the higher sensitivity to 300 mM NaCl at 14 d was associated with inadequate increase in antioxidant enzymes and the decreased OH radical scavenging activity. All these results suggest that C. tuzgoluensis has different antioxidant metabolisms between short- (7 d) and long-term (14 d) salt treatments and salinity tolerance of C. tuzgoluensis might be closely related to increased capacity of antioxidative system to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and accumulation of osmoprotectant proline under salinity conditions. 相似文献
