Although quantitative MRI can be instrumental in the diagnosis and assessment of disease progression in orbital diseases involving the extra‐ocular muscles (EOM), acquisition can be challenging as EOM are small and prone to eye‐motion artefacts. We explored the feasibility of assessing fat fractions (FF), muscle volumes and water T2 (T2water) of EOM in healthy controls (HC), myasthenia gravis (MG) and Graves' orbitopathy (GO) patients. FF, EOM volumes and T2water values were determined in 12 HC (aged 22‐65 years), 11 MG (aged 28‐71 years) and six GO (aged 28‐64 years) patients at 7 T using Dixon and multi‐echo spin‐echo sequences. The EOM were semi‐automatically 3D‐segmented by two independent observers. MANOVA and t‐tests were used to assess differences in FF, T2water and volume of EOM between groups (P < .05). Bland–Altman limits of agreement (LoA) were used to assess the reproducibility of segmentations and Dixon scans. The scans were well tolerated by all subjects. The bias in FF between the repeated Dixon scans was ?0.7% (LoA: ±2.1%) for the different observers; the bias in FF was ?0.3% (LoA: ±2.8%) and 0.03 cm3 (LoA: ± 0.36 cm3) for volume. Mean FF of EOM in MG (14.1% ± 1.6%) was higher than in HC (10.4% ± 2.5%). Mean muscle volume was higher in both GO (1.2 ± 0.4 cm3) and MG (0.8 ± 0.2 cm3) compared with HC (0.6 ± 0.2 cm3). The average T2water for all EOM was 24.6 ± 4.0 ms for HC, 24.0 ± 4.7 ms for MG patients and 27.4 ± 4.2 ms for the GO patient. Quantitative MRI at 7 T is feasible for measuring FF and muscle volumes of EOM in HC, MG and GO patients. The measured T2water was on average comparable with skeletal muscle, although with higher variation between subjects. The increased FF in the EOM in MG patients suggests that EOM involvement in MG is accompanied by fat replacement. The unexpected EOM volume increase in MG may provide novel insights into underlying pathophysiological processes. 相似文献

Inhibition of VEGF signalling effectively suppresses localized tumour growth but accelerates tumour invasiveness and micrometastasis by unknown mechanisms. To study the dynamic and reciprocal interactions between tumour cells and their microenvironment during these processes, we established a xenograft model by injecting tumour cells into the blood circulation of transparent zebrafish embryos. This reproducibly results in rapid simultaneous formation of a localized tumour and experimental micrometastasis, allowing time-resolved imaging of both processes at single-cell resolution within 1 week. The tumour vasculature was initiated de novo by remodelling of primitive endothelial cells into a functional network. Roles of myeloid cells in critical tumourigenesis steps such as vascularization and invasion were revealed by genetic and pharmaceutical approaches. We discovered that the physiological migration of neutrophils controlled tumour invasion by conditioning the collagen matrix and forming the metastatic niche, as detected by two-photon confocal microscopy and second harmonic generation. Administration of VEGFR inhibitors blocked tumour vascularization and a localized tumour growth but enhanced migration of neutrophils, which in turn promoted tumour invasion and formation of micrometastasis. This demonstrates the in vivo cooperation between VEGF signalling and myeloid cells in metastasis and provides a new mechanism underlying the recent findings that VEGFR targeting can promote tumour invasiveness. 相似文献

Nanoplastic debris is currently expected to be ubiquitously distributed in aquatic environments and an emerging environmental issue affecting organisms across trophic levels. While ingestion of particles receives most attention, other routes of uptake and cellular accumulation remain unexplored. Here, the planktonic filter feeder Daphnia magna was used to track routes of uptake and target tissues of polystyrene nanoparticles (PSNPs). A sublethal concentration of 5?mg L?1 fluorescent PSNPs (25?nm) was used to monitor accumulation in adult animals as well as their embryos in the open brood pouch. A time series throughout embryonic development within the brood pouch revealed accumulation of PSNP in or on lipophilic cells in the early stages of embryonic development while the embryo is still surrounded by a chorion and before the beginning of organogenesis. In contrast, PSNP particles were neither detected in the gut epithelium nor in lipid droplets in adults. An ex vivo exposure of embryos to PSNP demonstrated a similar accumulation of PSNP in or on lipophilic cells, illustrating the likelihood of brood pouch-mediated PSNP uptake by embryos. By demonstrating embryo PSNP uptake via the brood pouch, data presented here give novel insights in bioaccumulation of nanoparticles and likely other lipophilic contaminants. Since this uptake route can occur within a diverse array of aquatic organisms, this study warrants consideration of brood pouch-mediated accumulation in efforts studying the hazards and risks of nanoparticle contamination. 相似文献

In this study, 105 healthy children (45 to 156 months old, 57 girls) were examined using ultrasound (US) imaging to obtain reference values of muscle dimensional and aspect parameters. We measured biceps and quadriceps sizes and subcutaneous tissue thickness. To quantify muscle aspect, we calculated muscle density, inhomogeneity and white-area index by digital image analysis. Age-, weight- and gender-dependencies were discussed. We demonstrated earlier that the complete set of parameters allows for differentiation between myopathies and neuropathies in adults, with high sensitivity. In this study, we investigated if these parameters have additional value in the diagnostic evaluation of 36 children with proven neuromuscular disease (20 Duchenne muscular dystrophy, 16 neuropathies). We found that density analysis provides a sensitive method for distinguishing between healthy children and children with neuromuscular disorders. We have also found that more detailed aspect analysis is necessary to further distinguish between these types of neuromuscular disorders in children. In conclusion, this set of normal muscle parameters can be used to help diagnose neuromuscular disorders in children. It will also facilitate follow-up in disease progression and therapy. 相似文献

Reference values of maximum isometric muscle force obtained in 270 children aged 4-16 years by hand-held dynamometry 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Since muscle force and functional ability are not related linearly; maximum force can be reduced while functional ability is still maintained. For diagnostic and therapeutic reasons loss of muscle force should be detected as early and accurately as possible. Because of growth factors, maximum muscle force in children varies with age, which makes detection of force loss difficult. The purpose of this study was to establish reference values for muscle force in children aged 4-16 years, obtained by hand-held dynamometry in 11 muscle groups. In boys muscle force was predicted best by weight whereas in girls weight and age were best predictors. At age 14 boys become significantly stronger for nearly all tested muscle groups. These age-related reference values can be used to quantify muscle weakness in individual muscle groups in children aged 4-16 years and to evaluate the effects of therapy. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Prednisone treatment is used to prolong ambulation in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). However, since severe adverse effects often accompany prednisone treatment, it is debatable whether the benefits of prednisone treatment outweigh its adverse effects. OBJECTIVES: To study the effects of prednisone on muscle function and to determine the extent of steroid-related adverse effects and their influence on the quality of life of ambulant patients with DMD. DESIGN: A randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial with 6 months of treatment: prednisone or placebo (0.75 mg/kg daily) during the first 10 days of each month. After a washout period of 2 months, patients received the other regimen for an additional 6 months. SETTING: University hospital and rehabilitation center in the Netherlands. PATIENTS: Seventeen ambulant patients with DMD aged 5 to 8 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Change in muscle function assessed by timed functional testing: running 9 m, climbing 4 standard-sized stairs, and rising from the floor to a standing position. RESULTS: The increase in time needed to run 9 m (P = .005) and to climb 4 standard-sized stairs (P = .02) was significantly lower during the prednisone period. CONCLUSIONS: Prednisone slowed deterioration of muscle function and muscle force in ambulant patients with DMD. Although adverse effects were present, patient quality of life was not affected. Therefore, short-term prednisone treatment can be recommended to preserve motor functions in ambulant patients with DMD. 相似文献
