运动对大鼠腓肠肌一氧化氮含量和铁转运蛋白表达的影响

目的观察游泳运动后大鼠腓肠肌一氧化氮(NO)含量及铁转运相关蛋白表达的变化,探讨运动对骨骼肌铁代谢的调节机制。方法20只雌性SD大鼠随机分为对照组和运动组(每天游泳1.5小时,6次/周),每组10只。实验10周后分别采用试剂盒测定两组大鼠腓肠肌和血清一氧化氮合酶(NOS)活性及NO含量,免疫组织化学方法测定腓肠肌二价金属离子转运体1(DMT1)、膜铁转运蛋白1(FP1)和转铁蛋白受体1(TfR1)的表达,分析其平均光密度变化。结果(1)运动组大鼠血清和腓肠肌NO含量和NOS活性均显著高于对照组(P<0.05);(2)运动组大鼠腓肠肌DMT1(IRE)和TfR1表达较对照组显著增加,FP1表达显著减少(P<0.05),而DMT1(non-IRE)表达无明显变化。结果提示运动可能通过增加NOS活性刺激NO合成增加,进而调节腓肠肌铁转运蛋白的表达,提高腓肠肌摄铁能力,以满足运动中机体对铁的需求。

Effect of low glycogen on glycogen synthase in human muscle during and after exercise

Subjects cycled at a work load calculated to elicit 75% of maximal oxygen uptake on two occasions: the first to fatigue (34.5 ± 5.3 min; mean ± SE), and the second at the same workload and for the same duration as the first. Biopsies were obtained from the quadriceps femoris muscle before and immediately after exercise, and 5 min post-exercise. Before the first experiment, muscle glycogen was lowered by a combination of exercise and diet, and before the second, experiment muscle glycogen was elevated. In the low glycogen condition (LG), muscle glycogen decreased from 169 ± 15 mmol glucosyl units kg^-1dry wt at to rest to 13 ± 6 after exercise. In the high glycogen condition (HG) glycogen decreased from 706 ± 52 at rest to 405 ± 68 after exercise. Glycogen synthase fractional activity (GSF) was always higher during the LG treatment. During exercise in the HG condition, those subjects who cycled for < 35 min (n= 3) had GSF values in muscle which were lower than at rest, whereas those subjects who cycled for > 35 min (n= 4) had values which were similar to or higher than at rest. Thus the change in GSF in muscle during HG was positively related to the exercise duration (r= 0.94; y = 254–17x + 0.3x²; P < 0.001) and negatively related to the glycogen content at the end of exercise (r=–0.82; y= 516–2x + 0.001x²; P < 0.05). During LG exercise GSF remained constant. GSF increased markedly after 5 min post-exercise in both HG and LG conditions. cAMP dependent protein kinase activity increased similarly during both LG and HG exercise and reverted to the preexercise values 5 min post-exercise. It is concluded that muscle contraction decreases GSF, but low glycogen levels can attenuate or abolish the decrease in GSF. The rapid increase of GSF during recovery from exercise does not require glycogen depletion during the exercise.     

肾综合征出血热病毒气溶胶的物理稳定性实验研究

Influence of handedness on calcaneal ultrasound: Implications for assessment of osteoporosis and study design

Calcaneal ultrasound has been increasingly studied for its potential in the assessment of osteoporotic fracture risk. The accuracy of such an assessment is, in part, dependent on the reproducibility of the measurement. This study examines the impact of handedness on ultrasound measurements [broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) and velocity of sound (VOS)] in the calcaneus. Two hundred and sixty-four subjects (57 men and 297 women) aged 51.1+13.6 years (mean ± SD) were studied. For each subject, calcaneal ultrasound measurements were performed on both heels with a McCue CUBA ultrasound densitometer. Right-handed dominance (94.7%) was determined by structured interview. In men, BUA measurements were significantly higher on the dominant side: mean difference 4.1±1.5 dB/MHz (mean ± SD;p=0.009), equivalent to 4.2+1.5% and more than 4 times the average rate of annual change in BUA. The difference between sides was greater in young (<50 years) than old men (>50 years). Among the women, the difference was not statistically significant (0.7±0.9 dB/MHz;p=0.4); however, it was significant in younger women (20–30 years) (99±4 vs 90±4 dB/MHz,p=0.01). By contrast VOS did not differ between sides in either men or women irrespective of age. Within-subject standard deviation of BUA was 9.8 dB/MHz for men and 8.6 dB/ MHz for women and the component due to right and left difference was 8.4 dB/MHz for men and 6.9 dB/MHz for women. This variability of BUA between right and left heels could increase the false-positive rate by up to 28% for a cut-off of 2 SD below the mean. These data indicate that variation between left and right heel measurements of BUA is higher than that of random error measurements, particularly in men and younger, presumably more physically active subjects. Although VOS measurements were not side dependent, in the smaller number of studies examining VOS and fracture risk, VOS appears to have a weaker predictive power than BUA. Clinical and epidemiological studies involving calcaneal BUA measurements should standardize the side measured to either the dominant or non-dominant heel, to reduce within-subject variation and increase their power.     

The disability rating index: An instrument for the assessment of disability in clinical settings

The purpose of this study was to evaluate an instrument for assessment of physical disability, mainly intended for clinical settings, the Disability Rating Index (DRI). Healthy persons (n = 1092), both white and blue collar workers, and patients (n = 366) with different levels of physical capacity, were assessed. Most of the patients (n = 303) underwent rehabilitation programmes for neck/shoulder/low-back pain but some (n = 47) were arthritis patients waiting for hip or knee replacement surgery, or wheelchair patients with multiple sclerosis (n = 16). The reliability was investigated by test-retest studies, intra- and inter-rater and internal consistency studies. Five construct validity tests were carried out: a discrimination study; a converging validity test; a test for sensitivity to small alterations in health status; and two correlational validity tests. Correlation of the self-reported DRI to the actual performance in similar activities was carried out. Responsiveness was tested by correlation of the DRI before/after replacement surgery for arthritis. The test-retest correlations were 0.83–0.95 in the studies, including correlation of different versions. The intra- and inter-rater reproducibility was 0.98 and 0.99 respectively. The Kruskal-Wallis test in the discrimination study yielded p < 0.0001. More than 90% of the respondents completed the questionnaire correctly. Correlation of the DRI to the Functional Status Questionnaire was 0.46. The responsiveness was excellent, p = 0.0001. The DRI proved to be a robust, practical clinical and research instrument with good responsiveness and acceptability for assessment of disability caused by impairment of common motor functions.
