The aim was to evaluate the influence of food intake on liver stiffness measurement (LSM), performed with 2-D shear wave elastography (Logiq E9, GE Medical Systems, Wauwatosa, WI, USA). One hundred healthy volunteers were prospectively enrolled. Mean age was 25.8 (19–55) y, and mean body mass index was 22.43 (17.3–30.8) kg/m². Patients fasted for at least 3 h and subsequently ingested a liquid meal of 800 kcal. Liver stiffness and portal vein velocity were measured before and after food intake. Food intake resulted in significantly higher LSM values compared with baseline LSM (5.74 ± 0.94 kPa vs. 4.80 ± 0.94 kPa, p < 0.001). On multiple linear regression analysis, body mass index was significantly positively correlated with the LSM increase after food intake (p?=?0.01). No correlation between the increase in LSM and the increase in post-prandial portal vein velocity was observed (r?=?0.09). In summary, food intake has a significant influence on LSM. There is an 11% risk of misclassifying non-fasting, healthy patients as having significant fibrosis. 相似文献

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a uniquely effective treatment for major depressive disorder. An increase in hippocampal neurogenesis is implicated in the recovery from depression. We used an inducible genetic mouse model in which only GFAP‐expressing stem‐like cells (type‐1 cells) and their progeny are selectively labeled with the reporter protein β‐galactosidase to track the process of neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus over 3 months following electroconvulsive seizures (ECS), the mouse equivalent of ECT. All ECS protocols tested induced a transient increase in type‐1 cell divisions. While this led to an expansion of the type‐1 cell pool after high‐frequency ECS sessions for 5 consecutive days (5‐ECS), asymmetric divisions drove neurogenesis by giving rise to Doublecortin (DCX)‐expressing neuroblasts that matured into NeuN+ neurons. Significantly, the increase in newly generated DCX+ and NeuN+ cells after 5‐ECS could be traced back to proliferating type‐1 cells. Low‐frequency continuation ECS (c‐ECS) consisting of five single ECS sessions administered every 2 weeks resulted in a similar increase in newborn neurons as the high‐frequency 5‐ECS protocol. Moreover, the combination of 5‐ECS and c‐ECS led to a further significant increase in newborn neurons, suggesting a cellular mechanism responsible for the propitious effects of high‐frequency ECT followed by continuation ECT in severely depressed patients. The ability of high‐ and low‐frequency ECS to induce normally quiescent type‐1 cells to proliferate and generate new neurons sets it apart from other antidepressant treatments and may underlie the superior clinical efficacy of ECT. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Adolescence is characterized by important molecular and anatomical changes with relevance for the maturation of brain circuitry and cognitive function. This time period is of critical importance in the emergence of several neuropsychiatric disorders accompanied by cognitive impairment, such as affective disorders and schizophrenia. The molecular mechanisms underlying these changes at neuronal level during this specific developmental stage remains however poorly understood. GluA1‐containing AMPA receptors, which are located predominantly on hippocampal neurons, are the primary molecular determinants of synaptic plasticity. We investigated here the consequences of the inducible deletion of GluA1 AMPA receptors in glutamatergic neurons during late adolescence. We generated mutant mice with a tamoxifen‐inducible deletion of GluA1 under the control of the CamKII promoter for temporally and spatially restricted gene manipulation. GluA1 ablation during late adolescence induced cognitive impairments, but also marked hyperlocomotion and sensorimotor gating deficits. Unlike the global genetic deletion of GluA1, inducible GluA1 ablation during late adolescence resulted in normal sociability. Deletion of GluA1 induced redistribution of GluA2 subunits, suggesting AMPA receptor trafficking deficits. Mutant animals showed increased hippocampal NMDA receptor expression and no change in striatal dopamine concentration. Our data provide new insight into the role of deficient AMPA receptors specifically during late adolescence in inducing several cognitive and behavioral alterations with possible relevance for neuropsychiatric disorders. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Lefetamine‐derived designer drugs N‐ethyl‐1,2‐diphenylethylamine (NEDPA) and N‐iso‐propyl‐1,2‐diphenylethylamine (NPDPA): Metabolism and detectability in rat urine using GC‐MS,LC‐MSn and LC‐HR‐MS/MS

N‐Ethyl‐1,2‐diphenylethylamine (NEDPA) and N‐iso‐propyl‐1,2‐diphenylethylamine (NPDPA) are two designer drugs, which were confiscated in Germany in 2008. Lefetamine (N,N‐dimethyl‐1,2‐diphenylethylamine, also named L‐SPA), the pharmaceutical lead of these designer drugs, is a controlled substance in many countries. The aim of the present work was to study the phase I and phase II metabolism of these drugs in rats and to check for their detectability in urine using the authors’ standard urine screening approaches (SUSA). For the elucidation of the metabolism, rat urine samples were worked up with and without enzymatic cleavage, separated and analyzed by gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) and liquid chromatography‐high resolution‐tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐HR‐MS/MS). According to the identified metabolites, the following metabolic pathways for NEDPA and NPDPA could be proposed: N‐dealkylation, mono‐ and bis‐hydroxylation of the benzyl ring followed by methylation of one of the two hydroxy groups, combinations of these steps, hydroxylation of the phenyl ring after N‐dealkylation, glucuronidation and sulfation of all hydroxylated metabolites. Application of a 0.3 mg/kg BW dose of NEDPA or NPDPA, corresponding to a common lefetamine single dose, could be monitored in rat urine using the authors’ GC‐MS and LC‐MSn SUSA. However, only the metabolites could be detected, namely N‐deethyl‐NEDPA, N‐deethyl‐hydroxy‐NEDPA, hydroxy‐NEDPA, and hydroxy‐methoxy‐NEDPA or N‐de‐iso‐propyl‐NPDPA, N‐de‐iso‐propyl‐hydroxy‐NPDPA, and hydroxy‐NPDPA. Assuming similar kinetics, an intake of these drugs should also be detectable in human urine. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

AIM: Chemokines and their receptors are crucial for immune responses in HCV and HIV infection. RANTES gene polymorphisms lead to altered gene expression and influence the natural course of HIV infection. Therefore, these mutations may also affect the course of HIV/HCV coinfection. METHODS: We determined allele frequencies of RANTES-403 (G→A), RANTES-28 (C→G) and RANTES-IN1.1 (T→C) polymorphisms using real-time PCR and hybridization probes in patients with HIV (n = 85), HCV (n = 112), HIV/HCV coinfection (n = 121), and 109 healthy controls. Furthermore, HIV and HCV loads as well as CD4+ and CD8+ cell counts were compared between different RANTES genotypes. RESULTS: Frequencies of RANTES-403 A, RANTES-28 G and RANTES-IN1.1 C alleles were higher in HIV infected patients than in healthy controls (-403: 28.2% vs 15.1%, P = 0.002; -28: 5.4% vs 2.8%, not significant; IN1.1: 19.0% vs 11.0%, P = 0.038). In HIV/HCV coinfected patients, these RANTES alleles were less frequent than in patients with HIV infection alone (15.4% P = 0.002; 1.7%; P = 0.048; 12.0%; not significant). Frequencies of these alleles were not significantly different between HIV/HCV positive patients, HCV positive patients and healthy controls. CONCLUSION: All three RANTES polymorphisms showed increased frequencies of the variant allele exclusively in patients with HIV monoinfection. The finding that the frequencies of these alleles remained unaltered in HIV/HCV coinfected patients suggests that HCV coinfection interferes with selection processes associated with these alleles in HIV infection. 相似文献

Milestones of neuronal development in the adult hippocampus 总被引:26,自引:0,他引:26
Adult hippocampal neurogenesis originates from precursor cells in the adult dentate gyrus and results in new granule cell neurons. We propose a model of the development that takes place between these two fixed points and identify several developmental milestones. From a presumably bipotent radial-glia-like stem cell (type-1 cell) with astrocytic properties, development progresses over at least two stages of amplifying lineage-determined progenitor cells (type-2 and type-3 cells) to early postmitotic and to mature neurons. The selection process, during which new neurons are recruited into function, and other regulatory influences differentially affect the different stages of development. 相似文献
