Tear of the distal biceps brachii tendon is an uncommon injury. Ultrasound evaluation of the distal tendon using an anterior approach is often difficult because of technical factors. We describe a new method of ultrasound evaluation of the distal biceps tendon insertion. This involves a posterior approach with the forearm pronated. With pronation of the forearm, the radial tuberosity faces posteriorly, bringing the distal biceps tendon insertion into view. A surgically proven case of distal biceps tendon tear is presented to illustrate our technique. 相似文献
The metabolism of deltamethrin (DLM), cis-permethrin (CPM) and trans-permethrin (TPM) was studied in liver microsomes, liver cytosol and plasma from male Sprague–Dawley rats aged 15, 21 and 90 days and from adult humans.
DLM and CPM were metabolised by rat hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and to a lesser extent by microsomal and cytosolic carboxylesterase (CES) enzymes, whereas TPM was metabolised to a greater extent by CES enzymes.
In human liver, DLM and TPM were mainly metabolised by CES enzymes, whereas CPM was metabolised by CYP and CES enzymes.
The metabolism of pyrethroids by cytosolic CES enzymes contributes to the overall hepatic clearance of these compounds.
DLM, CPM and TPM were metabolised by rat, but not human, plasma CES enzymes.
This study demonstrates that the ability of male rats to metabolise DLM, CPM and TPM by hepatic CYP and CES enzymes and plasma CES enzymes increases with age. In all instances, apparent intrinsic clearance values were lower in 15 than in 90?day old rats. As pyrethroid-induced neurotoxicity is due to the parent compound, these results suggest that DLM, CPM and TPM may be more neurotoxic to juvenile than to adult rats.
Although a number of studies have indicated correlations between histologic subtypes of tumors and certain nonrandom chromosome changes, cytogenetic studies of lymphoma are in an early stage compared to those of leukemia. No comprehensive analysis of available data has so far been attempted in the literature either. Here we present an analysis of chromosome changes and their correlation with subtypes of lymphoma studied by conventional histology and cell surface markers, as observed in two sets of data: a group of 65 karyotypically abnormal tumors sequentially ascertained and studied by us during the period January 1, 1984 to April 30, 1985, and a larger data set derived by combining our data with those from two published series from the University of Minnesota that are comparable to our data. These combined data, which comprise the largest data set on the cytogenetics of lymphomas assembled so far, enabled a comprehensive analysis of correlation between chromosome change and tumor histology and the patterns of chromosome instability in these tumors. We found several significant associations, some previously described and others now recognized, between nonrandom chromosome gains, breaks, translocations, and deletions and histologic subtypes of tumors that characterize lymphomas. The data indicate that finding of chromosome breaks at certain sites (eg, 8q24, 14q32, 18q21) is of diagnostic value in dealing with cases of unusual lymphoma. Furthermore, nonrandom chromosome breakage exhibited three distinct patterns that reflected three levels of etiologically relevant genetic change. 相似文献
