For more than a century two opposing views on the pathogenetic mechanisms and the timing of the origin of cerebral palsy (CP) have prevailed: the idea first formulated by Little attributing CP to “difficult deliveries” has been opposed by the view by Freud recognizing fetal influences, and the issue seems to be unsettled. The present review seeks to bridge the gap by recognizing that late prenatal or perinatal hypoxic-hemodynamic insult is a dominating final common path in the pathogenesis of static encephalopathies during development, in particular in premature infants. In turn, however, such lesions are determined by early genetic and environmental influences. The pathogenesis of static encephalopathy should therefore be seen as a chain of events, with its origin before gestation. 相似文献
This study investigates the rule that repeating cytological preparations on liquid-based cytology improves sample adequacy, diagnosis, microbiological, and hormonal evaluations. We reviewed 156 cases of pap-stained preparations of exfoliated cervical cells in two slides processed by DNA-Cytoliq System. After sample repeat/dilution, limiting factors affecting sample adequacy were removed in nine cases and three unsatisfactory cases were reclassified as satisfactory. Diagnosis was altered in 24 cases. Of these, the original diagnosis in 15 was atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance; after the second slide examination, diagnosis in 5 of the 15 cases changed to low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, 3 to high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, and 7 to absence of lesion. Microbiological evaluation was altered, with Candida sp. detected in two repeated slides. Repeat slide preparation or dilution of residual samples enhances cytological diagnosis and decreases effects of limiting factors in manually processed DIGENE DCS LBC. 相似文献
The mucosal layer plays an important role in regulating the intestinal barrier function. However, the underlying mechanisms of intestinal barrier dysfunction caused by trauma-hemorrhagic shock (THS) are still unknown.
Methods
In this study, we examined the barrier damages, inflammatory responses as well as the metabolic changes of the mucosal layer of the colon in a THS rat model.
Results
The results showed that compared to the rats treated with trauma only, THS induced marked failure of intestinal barrier characterized by increased intestinal permeability, inflammatory cell infiltration and decreased expression of genes involved in epithelial integrity. Moreover, decreased colonic mucus content and goblet cell numbers indicated that the mucosal layer was also impaired in response to THS. This was companied by the anomalous inflammatory responses in the tissue. Finally, microdialysis catheter examination showed that metabolites including glycerol, glucose, lactate and pyruvate, glutamate and glutamine were also altered by THS.
Conclusion
Our results provide evidence that mucus layer-associated metabolic changes may contribute to the THS-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction. 相似文献
Objective: In this study, we first performed a meta-analysis to assess the role of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) gene and TNF alpha expression in the risk of nasal polyposis.
Methods: STATA 12.0 software was utilized to conduct the Mantel–Haenszel statistics, Cohen statistics, Begg’s test, Egger’s tests and sensitivity analysis.
Results: We systemically carried out the database retrieval and initially identified 486 articles. After screening, 15 articles were included in our meta-analysis. For TNF alpha rs1800629 G/A SNP, compared with control group, an increased risk of nasal polyposis of case group was observed in the models of A vs. G [p (P value of association) = 0.009, OR (odds ratio) = 1.35], GA vs. GG (p = 0.001, OR = 1.69), GA+AA vs. GG (p = 0.010, OR = 1.47). The similar results were observed in Caucasian subgroup (p < 0.05, OR > 1). For TNF alpha rs361525 G/A SNP, no significant difference between control and case group was detected (all p > 0.05). In addition, a significant difference exists between case and control groups in the meta-analyses of TNF alpha expression in nasal mucosal cells, secreted TNF alpha (p < 0.05, OR > 1), but not serum TNF alpha (p = 0.090).
Conclusion: The present meta-analysis revealed that TNF alpha rs1800629, increased TNF alpha expression and secretion of nasal mucosal cells were associated with an increased risk of nasal polyposis. 相似文献
