Exercise-induced signs of muscle overuse in children

Signs of overuse after intense muscular exertion are well described in adults, while little research has been conducted in children. The aim of the study was to investigate some indirect markers of muscle damage in 13 years old boys following two different protocols of one-leg stepping exercise to exhaustion. This stepping exercise was performed by two experimental groups with different contributions of concentric and eccentric contractions in a 1:1 vs 1:2 ratio of timing. Subjective soreness perception and maximum voluntary isometric force of the knee extensor muscles were measured immediately prior to and immediately following the exercise, and at 1, 3, 24, 48, 72, 96 hours post exercise. Metabolic markers of exercise stress were taken at similar time intervals and included plasma glutathione concentrations as a marker for oxidative stress, circulating leukocyte numbers, and plasma creatine kinase (CK) activity. All parameters studied demonstrated a higher level of muscular exertion, with more evident signs of overuse in the group with the more eccentric contribution. Complete recovery was achieved between 72 and 96 hours after exertion. However, in this group of boys, the CK activity did not show the typical adult-like increase. Therefore the wide use of CK as an indicator of intense muscle exertion was not supported in this group of children. It can be concluded that children, like adults, experience similar degrees of muscle disturbances following intense exercise and that they may recover more quickly from such exercise.     

Chagasic heart disease in Mexico. 1st case diagnosed by positive xenodiagnosis

We describe the first case of chronic Chagas heart disease in México, in whom the illness was corroborated by means of the "xenodiagnosis". The patient had changing bundle branch block and also A-V block that required insertion of a pacemaker. This disease is seldom seen in Mexico.     

Immunomodulatory effect of cimetidine on the proliferative responses of splenocytes from T. cruzi-infected rats.

The immunomodulatory effect of cimetidine (CIM), a histamine type-2 receptor antagonist, was evaluated in respect to the blastogenic response to Con A of Wistar Furth (WF) rats infected by the Y strain of Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi). Enhancement of blastogenesis of normal splenocytes was observed at a concentration of 10(3) M. However, the splenocytes from infected animals responded to concentrations of CIM ranging from 10(-8) to 10(-3) M. The mitogenic response to Con A of cells from infected animals was restored in the presence of CIM. The results show that CIM modulates the "in vitro" proliferative response of cells from T. cruzi-infected rats and suggest an immunoregulatory role of histamine and/or of cells that express H2 receptors in this infection.     

Multiple sclerosis, spinal cord ependymoma and intracranial meningioma: case report

We report the association a multiple sclerosis (MS), spinal cord tumour and intracranial tumor in a 63 years-old female patient with a 10 years history of relapsing/remitting MS. Symptoms usually remitted in response to costicosteroid therapy. In 1997 the patient presented with paraparesis and paresis of right arm which did not respond to corticotherapy. A spinal RMI revealed in the cervical spinal an intra spinal cord tumour, further diagnosed as ependymoma, and a parietal region meningioma. We call attention to this rare association of central nervous system tumour and MS, enphasizing the need for investigation of new and uncommon symptoms during the evolution of MS.
