Comparative study of oral conditions in schoolchildren of Strasbourg, France, 1974–85

A representative sample of 1650 children randomly selected in the 6-15-yr-old schoolchild population of Strasbourg was examined by well-calibrated examiners. The prevalence of caries was determined with the DMFT, DMFS and dft indices using bitewing radiographs. Plaque, calculus and gingival indices were also determined. The results obtained were compared with the initial study of 1974 performed in Strasbourg using the same epidemiologic methods. Whereas no important variations were observed in caries prevalence of primary teeth, a significant reduction of caries activity was observed in DMFT and DMFS indices in all age groups. There was a reduction of these two indices of respectively 32% and 33% in the 12-yr-old children. The reduction was the most significant on approximal surface lesions. A statistically significant decrease of the calculus and gingival indices was also observed between 1974 and 1984. A less significant decrease was observed for the plaque index.

核因子kB在大鼠胃缺血再灌注损伤中的表达及意义

目的研究核因子kB（NF-kB）在大鼠胃缺血再灌注损伤中的表达及意义。方法采用大鼠胃缺血再灌注（gustric ischemia/reperfusion, CI／R）模型（夹闭腹腔动脉30min后再灌注），分别于再灌注0．5、1、3、24h取胃，计算胃黏膜损伤指数。应用免疫组化、Western blot方法检测胃黏膜NF-kB p65。结果大鼠GUR后引起胃黏膜损伤，再灌注1h时损伤最明显，随后降低，24h接近正常。GI／R后胃黏膜NF—kB阳性细胞数和蛋白表达量增多，与胃黏膜损伤变化规律一致。结论NF-kB在大鼠CI／R损伤过程中发挥着重要作用。     

Effective pulmonary blood flow in children with acute asthma attack requiring hospitalization

In children with acute obstructive lung disease gas exchange is affected by ventilation-perfusion mismatch and the degree of bronchoconstriction. Standard lung function measurements do not reflect the impairment in gas exchange. Alternatively, the effective pulmonary blood flow (EPBF), that is, the proportion of the cardiac output that is supplying well-ventilated lung units, can give accurate and noninvasive estimates of ventilation-perfusion mismatch. We measured EPBF with the argon freon ?22 rebreathing technique in children with acute severe asthma to assess their response to nebulized salbutamol and to determine whether induced changes in the EPBF could be predicted from baseline measurements. Twenty-four children admitted with an acute asthma attack had spirometry and triplicate EPBF measurements before and after nebulized salbutamol. Eighteen patients had repeated tests 50 days later when fully recovered; 4 patients were taking methylxanthines on at least one occasion. The mean forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV₁) rose from 55% of predicted to 66% after salbutamol and to 83% with recovery. The mean coefficients of variation for EPBF measurements on the three test occasions were 11.3%, 8.2%, and 9%. Except in children on methylxanthines, the EPBF values were reduced during the acute asthma attack (median, 2.53 L/min/m²; range, 1.99–3.60 L/min/m²) compared with paired values obtained after recovery (median, 2.89 L/min/m²; range, 2.2Eb4.04 L/min/m²) (P = 0.009). Salbutamol caused a highly significant increase in EPBF from 2.88 L/min/m² (range, 1.86–3.80) before treatment to 3.34 L/min/m² (range, 2.264.65) immediately afterwards (P = 0.0003). The spirometric indices did not relate to the changes in the EPBF values. However, when the effective stroke volume index was calculated in 11 patients, the changes induced by nebulized salbutamol had a significant inverse relation with the pretreatment FEV, (P = 0.61; P = 0.02). In conclusion, the argon freon-22 rebreathing technique can be used successfully and reproducibly to measure EPBF in children with an acute asthma attack. Except in children taking methylxanthines, EPBF during the acute attack is reduced and rises significantly after salbutamol. EPBF values after recovery were significantly higher than the presalbutamol values during the attack. Spirometric indices do not relate to the EPBF changes but are inversely related to the effective stroke volume changes. Pediatr Pulmonol. 1994; 17:370–377. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Absence of a relationship between umbilical cord thickness and coiling patterns.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate a relationship between the umbilical cord thickness and cord coiling patterns during the fetal sonographic anatomic survey in the second trimester of pregnancy. METHODS: This was a prospective study of 470 patients with singleton pregnancies who had a fetal anatomic survey with recorded umbilical coiling patterns between 18 and 23 weeks' gestation. The umbilical cord thickness was assessed as an umbilical diameter at the level of the fetal abdominal cord insertion and compared with the antenatal umbilical coiling index (aUCI), calculated as a reciprocal value of the distance between a pair of umbilical cord coils. RESULTS: Three hundred twenty-one patients had adequate sonographic umbilical cord images and maternal demographic, antenatal, and labor data to meet inclusion criteria. The mean aUCI was 0.41 with 10th and 90th percentiles of 0.21 and 0.60, respectively. A total of 10.6% (34/321) and 9.3% (30/321) of patients were categorized as having hypocoiled and hypercoiled umbilical cords, respectively. The mean cord diameter +/- SD was 9.48 +/- 0.97 mm (range 7.0-12.5 mm). There was no statistically significant correlation between aUCI and umbilical cord thickness (P = .1164). CONCLUSIONS: An aUCI, or umbilical coiling pattern, does not correlate with umbilical cord thickness. It appears that a lesser amount of the umbilical supportive tissue, mainly Wharton jelly, is not related to an increased umbilical cord coiling pattern.

Pulsatility and resistance indices in intrarenal arteries of normal adults

In order to establish the normal range of values of Pulsatility (PI) and Resistance (RI) Indices in the intrarenal vasculature, a study of 50 healthy volunteers (23 males, 27 females), divided into five groups of 10 according to age, was performed with Duplex Doppler ultrasound. Both kidneys were examined in all individuals and, in 12, indices were also compared between upper and lower poles of both kidneys. In addition, repeat examinations were performed in nine subjects on three different days, in order to assess the reproducibility of the method. No differences were found in the mean values of both indices between males and females, upper and lower poles, right and left kidneys. A statistically significant increase (p < 0.01, unpaired t-test) was demonstrated when the oldest age group (7th decade) was compared to the youngest age group (3rd decade). The method appeared remarkably reproducible for RI (4.2–7%), with wider variation in the PI (9.5–22.7%).
