Takayasu arteritis: Follow-up studies for 20 years

We reviewed retrospectively 126 (5 male, 121 female) patients suffering from Takayasu arteritis who had been treated in our clinics from 1971 to 1990. The patients' ages ranged from 19 to 80yrs old (1990) with a mean age of 48.7 ± 11.8 years. HLA typing analysis in 98 patients revealed that 45 patients (47%) were confirmed as carrying the Bw52 antigen, a high result that is statistically significant as compared with that in healthy Japanese. Arteriograms (performed in 75 patients) revealed that 28 patients (37%) were affected in the aorta and its main branches by this disease (type IV by Nasu's classification) and 23 patients (31%) were affected only in the main branches (type I). The C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) improved significantly from 2.55 ± 0.28(+) and 57.0 ± 5.69 mm/hr to 0.53 ± 0.12(+) and 31.2 ± 3.45 mm/hr, respectively after treatment including steroid and antiplatelet therapy (P < 0.01).=" patients=" with=" bw52=" exhibited=" more=" severe=" inflammatory=" conditions=" than=" those=" without=" bw52.=" lung=" scintillations=" performed=" in=" 81=" patients=" showed=" pulmonary=" arterial=" lesions=" in=" 50=" patients=" (62%).=" echocardiograms=" revealed=" aortic=" regurgitation=" (ar)=" in=" 44=" patients=" (35%),=" with=" a=" significant=" difference=" noted=" between=" the=" bw52=" positive=" group=" and=" the=" bw52=" negative=" group=" [29/40=" (73%)=" versus=" 11/47=" (23%),=">P < 0.001].=" patients=" with=" bw52=" were=" prescribed=" higher=" doses=" of=" steroids=">P < 0.05)=" for=" longer=" periods=">P < 0.01)=" than=" those=" without=" bw52.=" of=" 11=" patients=" who=" died=" during=" our=" study=" period,=" 7=" died=" of=" cardiac=" complications,=" all=" of=" whom=" were=" suffering=" from=" ar.=" hla=" analysis=" performed=" in=" 6=" of=" these=" 7=" patients=" revealed=" that=" all=" carried=" the=" bw52=" antigen.=" in=" conclusion,=" the=" retrospective=" survey=" revealed=" that=" patients=" carrying=" the=" bw52=" antigen=" showed=" more=" severe=" inflammatory=" conditions=" and=" progressed=" more=" rapidly=" to=" complications=" and=" the=" fatal=" morbid=" condition,=" as=" compared=" with=" those=" without=" bw52.=" this=" suggests=" the=" important=" role=" of=" gene=" disequilibrium=" with=" this=" hla=">     

New spectral detection and elimination test algorithms of ECG and EOG artefacts in neonatal EEG recordings

New methods for the detection of ECG and EOG artefacts in the EEG are introduced, which can also be used for the evaluation of the quality of the elimination procedure. These algorithms are based on the estimation of the power or coherence spectrum by means of FFT. The advantage of this method is that the EEG spectrum is monitored by the test algorithm. The spectrum will be plotted if no influence of the ECG and EOG can be found. On the other hand, if artefacts are detected the correction of the EEG time series will be carried out and the spectrum of the corrected EEG time series will be plotted after repeated monitoring by the test algorithm.     

Fibrinolytic system of the armadillo <Emphasis Type="Italic">Chaetophractus villosus</Emphasis> (Xenarthra,Dasypodidae)

The fibrinolytic mechanism in the armadillo Chaetophractus villosus (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Dasypodidae) quite unknown until now was studied. Results were compared with those corresponding to healthy adult human beings. Whole blood lysis time and diluted blood lysis time were not detectable in armadillos. Euglobulin clot lysis time and plasminogen activity (Plg) were lower than in healthy humans. We established the presence of the fibrinolytic system in Ch. villosus through the measurement of fibrin fibrinogen degradation products. The activity of the plasminogen activator inhibitor was two to four times greater than in healthy humans. The activity of the alpha 2 anti-plasmin (α2AP) was similar and displaced toward lower values. The Plg/α2AP relation was lower. The results obtained suggest that Ch. villosus has a hypercoagulable and hypofibrinolytic profile. Our findings are not only the first contribution to elucidate the physiology of the fibrinolytic system in Xenarthra but also contribute to develop an animal model for studies in haemostasis and thrombosis.

Influence of vascular parameters on the effectiveness of intra-aortic balloon pumping: A model study

The intra-aortic balloon pump has been widely used as a temporary heart-assist device. In this investigation, a nonlinear mathematical model of the arterial system and intra-aortic balloon pump was studied analytically. Thus, the influences of a number of vascular parameters on the effectiveness of intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) were determined. The effects of changes in vascular parameters of the model on a number of performance indexes were investigated. These performance indexes (aortic mean diastolic pressure, aortic end diastolic pressure, cardiac output, coronary flow and phase differences between the fundamental Fourier components of aortic root pressure and flow) were used as the criterion for an evaluation of the effectiveness of the assist pump. The following vascular parameters were perturbed by four steps (±10%, ±20%) from the values in the standard model: heart rate, peripheral resistance, left ventricular pressure, aortic elastance, aortic radius, arterial wall thickness, and aortic length. This model was evaluated for a wide range of balloon-pump phase-control settings (assisted case) and for the unassisted case (when the pump is disabled). It is concluded that changes in heart rate, peripheral resistance and left ventricular pressure cause the most significant changes in pump performance.

A LISREL 8 model with constrained parameters for twin and adoptive families

Constrained optimization recently has been implemented in the LISREL software package, allowing formulation of parent-offspring transmission models in a simple and efficient manner. A reverse path model of parental transmission is described within the LISREL framework for application to twin and/or adoptive family data. The model incorporates genetic and environmental parameter constraints arising from assortative mating and cultural transmission. An illustration of the LISREL model is given using measures obtained from twins and parents involving fear of social criticism.
