Adenosine monophosphate, inosine monophosphate, inosine, adenosine, guanosine, adenine, guanine, hypoxanthine, xanthine and uric acid were determined in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 15 children after complex febrile seizures (CFS) and in 27 after simple febrile seizures (SFS), and compared with those in a control group of 63 children. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups for any of these metabolites, suggesting that CFS and SFS neither significantly disturb the metabolism of nucleotides, nucleosides or bases nor significantly deplete neuron adenosine triphosphate levels. 相似文献
Background: Sevoflurane undergoes Baralyme- or soda lime-catalyzed degradation in the anesthesia circuit to yield compound A (2-[fluoromethoxy]-1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoro-1-propene), which is nephrotoxic in rats and undergoes metabolism via the cysteine conjugate beta-lyase pathway in those animals. The objective of these experiments was to test the hypothesis that compound A undergoes beta-lyase-dependent metabolism in humans.
Methods: Human volunteers were anesthetized with sevoflurane (1.25 minimum alveolar concentration, 3%, 2 l/min, 8 h) and thereby exposed to compound A. Urine was collected at 24-h intervals for 72 h after anesthesia. Rats, which served as a positive control, were given compound A intraperitoneally, and urine was collected for 24 h afterward. Human and rat urine samples were analyzed by19 F nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for the presence of compound A metabolites.
Results: Analysis of human and rat urine showed the presence of the compound A metabolites [S-[2-(fluoromethoxy)-1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoropropyl]-N-acetyl-L-cysteine, (E)- and (Z)-S-[2-(fluoromethoxy)-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propenyl]-N-acetyl-L-cyst eine, 2-(fluoromethoxy)-3,3,3-trifluoropropanoic acid, 3,3,3-trifluorolactic acid, and inorganic fluoride. The presence of 2-(fluoromethoxy)-3,3,3-trifluoropropanoic acid and 3,3,3-trifluorolactic acid in human urine was confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. 相似文献
The dominant cone-rod dystrophy gene CORD6 has previously been mapped to
within an 8 cM interval on chromosome 17p12-p13. The retinal- specific
guanylate cyclase gene (RETGC-1), which maps to within this genetic
interval and previously was implicated in Leber's congenital amaurosis, was
screened for mutations within this family and in a panel of small families
and individuals with various cone and cone- rod dystrophy phenotypes. A
missense mutation (E837D) was identified in affected members of the CORD6
family, as well as a second missense mutation (R838C) in three other
families with dominant cone-rod dystrophy. RETGC-1 is only the fourth gene
to be implicated in cone-rod dystrophy and this is the first report of
dominant mutations in this gene.
