The role of Chlamydia pneumoniae in 110 Sudanese children with signs of acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRI) was investigated. Four (3.6%) had evidence of C. pneumoniae infection, of whom 3 were culture-positive, while 1 had an antibody response suggesting a recent infection. IgG antibodies at a titer of ≥1:32 to C. pneumoniae, Chlamydia psittaci and Chlamydia trachomatis were detected in 27 (24.5%), 27 (24.5%) and 7 (6.4%) of the 110 ALRI cases, respectively. C. pneumoniae, C. trachomatis or C. psittaci were not detected in nasopharyngeal secretions from any of 110 patients when fluorescence-labeled specific monoclonal antibodies were used. In a seroepidemiological survey, 318 healthy Sudanese persons aged between 1 month and 67 years were studied for C. pneumoniae antibodies. 相似文献

The Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a growth disorder for which an increased frequency of monozygotic (MZ) twinning has been reported. With few exceptions, these twins are discordant for BWS and for females. Here, we describe the molecular and phenotypic analysis of 12 BWS twins and a triplet; seven twins are MZ, monochorionic and diamniotic, three twins are MZ, dichorionic and diamniotic and three twins are dizygotic. Twelve twins are female. In the majority of the twin pairs (11 of 13), the defect on chromosome 11p15 was hypomethylation of the paternal allele of DMR2. In 5 of 10 twins, there was additional hypomethylation of imprinted loci; in most cases, the loci affected were maternally methylated, but in two cases, hypomethylation of the paternally methylated DLK1 and H19 DMRs was detected, a novel finding in BWS. In buccal swabs of the MZ twins who share a placenta, the defect was present only in the affected twin; comparable hypomethylation in lymphocytes was detected in both the twins. The level of hypomethylation reached levels below 25%. The exchange of blood cells through vascular connections cannot fully explain the degree of hypomethylation found in the blood cell of the non-affected twin. We propose an additional mechanism through which sharing of aberrant methylation patterns in discordant twins, limited to blood cells, might occur. In a BWS-discordant MZ triplet, an intermediate level of demethylation was found in one of the non-affected sibs; this child showed mild signs of BWS. This finding supports the theory that a methylation error proceeds and possibly triggers the twinning process. 相似文献

The clinical, biochemical and histochemical features of 14 patients (nine females and five males) with severe childhood autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy (SCARMD) seen at a tertiary hospital in Riyadh from 1982 to 1993 arc described. Onset was at 3 (o 9 (median 3) years and four of five children aged >12 years lost ambulation. Five of the eight pairs of parents were closely consanguineous. The mean creatine kinase was 20 times the upper normal limit. Histochemistry of muscle showed dystrophic features in all cases, and dystrophin was positive in all cases examined (N=6). Three patients (two girls and a boy) were deficient in adhalin, the 50-kDa dystorphin-associated glycoprotein. A boy aged 13 years had rapidly progressing disease. Another boy of the same age (from a family characterized by early onset and slower progression) had normal dystrophin and adhalin. The clinical features conformed with previous observations from Sudan. North Africa and Qatar in the Arabian Peninsula. The disease is common in Saudi Arabia and seems to be more prevalent than Duchenne muscular dystrophy. 相似文献

This open-label study was conducted to examine the long-term tolerability and efficacy of the novel 5HT1 agonist naratriptan tablets 2.5 mg used to treat all migraine attacks for 6 months. Patients could reduce the dose to 1 mg in the event of intolerable adverse events. The results demonstrate that the majority (median 83%) of attacks treated with naratriptan tablets 2.5 mg were not associated with an adverse event. Among attacks treated with naratriptan tablets 2.5 mg (+optional 2.5 mg for headache recurrence), the most frequently reported adverse event was nausea (4% of attacks after a single naratriptan dose). Both the overall incidence of adverse events and the incidences of specific adverse events were no higher during months 4–6 of treatment compared with months 1–3. Only 5 of 414 patients elected to reduce their naratriptan dose to 1 mg. Headache relief 4 h postdose was reported in a mean of 68% of 6770 moderate or severe migraine attacks treated with naratriptan tablets 2.5 mg. The median number of naratriptan tablets used per attack was 1.0 (mean 1.25); patients treated only a median 7% of attacks (mean 13%) with a 2nd naratriptan tablet for headache recurrence. Patients rated naratriptan tablets as good or excellent in 61% of 7566 treated attacks. In summary, the data from this study demonstrate that naratriptan tablets 2.5 mg were very well tolerated and effective for the acute treatment of migraine for 6 months in a situation closely resembling actual clinical use. 相似文献

Summary The configuration of the constant properitoneal body of fat with contained vasculature (ensiform vessels and portions of the ligamentum teres) and its relationship to the falciform ligament were studied by reviewing 122 computer tomographic scans of 103 patients with ascites. The maximal width was found in 57% at the level of the intrahepatic ligamentum teres immediately after entry into the liver but maximal thickness was mostly found higher up. Our measurements of mean maximal width and thickness of 7.2 cm and 1.2 cm respectively, corresponded well with disssection findings in the literature. A variety of pathologic conditions can affect the fat pad via connecting or adjacent structures like the falciform ligament, lesser omentum, properitoneal flank fat, mediastinal fat or transperitoneally. However, involvement by pathology was infrequent.
Le bourrelet adipeux propéritonéal. Etude par imagerie de ses relations avec le ligament falciforme. Déductions cliniques
Résumé Une étude morphologique du bourrelet adipeux pro-péritonéal médian, de son contenu et de ses relations avec le ligament falciforme a été faite à partir de l'analyse de 122 examens TDM effectués chez 103 patients présentant une ascite. La largeur maximale de ce capitonnage adipeux se situe dans 57 % des cas, juste après la pénétration du ligament rond du foie dans le parenchyme hépatique et l'épaisseur maximale se situe un petit peu plus haut. Les dimensions moyennes de la largeur et de l'épaisseur maximales de ce bourrelet adipeux sont respectivement de 7,2 cm et 1,2 cm, mesure identique à celle que l'on trouve dans la littérature à partir de travaux de dissection. Un certain nombre de modifications pathologiques des structures de voisinage, telles que le ligament falciforme, le grand épiploon, la graisse extra-péritonéale des flancs, la graisse médiastinale peuvent modifier ce capitonnage; toutefois, les lésions propres au bourrelet adipeux sont rares.相似文献

Background
Animal models with various combination of host-parasite have long been employed to study malaria pathogenesis. Here, we describe the combination of Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection in inbred ICR mice as a model of cerebral malaria (CM).Methods
Infection in mice was initiated by intraperitoneal injection of 2 x 107 (0.2ml) parasitized red blood cells (PRBCs).Results
This model can produce a severe degree of infection presented by the high degree of parasitaemia followed by death 6-7 days post infection. Severe anemia, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly and discolourations of major organs were observed. Histopathological findings revealed several important features mimicking human CM including, microvascular sequestration of PRBCs in major organs, particularly in the brain, hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the kupffer cells in the liver, pulmonary edema and hyaline membrane formation in the lungs and haemorrhages in the kidney''s medulla and cortex. Proinflammatory cytokines TNFα, IFNγ, IL-1, IL-6 and IL-18, and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 were all found to be elevated in the plasma of infected mice.Conclusion
This model can reproduce many of the important features of CM and therefore can be used as a tool to advance our understanding of the disease pathogenesis. 相似文献9.
