Cerebral water accumulation was studied during induction of brain edema in dystrophin-null transgenic mice ( mdx- β geo ) and control mice. Immunofluorescence immunoelectron microscopic analyses brains revealed a dramatic reduction AQP4 (aquaporin-4) astroglial end-feet surrounding capillaries (blood–brain barrier) at the glia limitans (cerebrospinal fluid–brain interface). The protein is mislocalized, because immunoblotting showed that total abundance unaltered. Brain induced by i.p....
Simultaneous measurement of plasma renin activity (PRA), aldosterone concentration (PA) and urinary excretion (UAE) was made using the RIA method along with determination Na K balance in 1-week-old neonates gestational age 30-41 weeks (mean 35.9 weeks) birth weight 1,160-4,670 g 2,680 g). It demonstrated that PRA decreased from value 36.3 +/- 6.3 ng/ml/h SE) to a level 10.2 2.1 (p less than 0.001), PA did not change UAE increased 3.3 0.8 7.8 1.4 microgram/day 0.01) as advanced 30-32 39-41...
Background. Atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS) is associated with defective complement regulation. Recently, an autoimmune aHUS form has been described that factor H (CFH) autoantibodies. The aim of this study was to address the pathologic relevance CFH autoantibodies in aHUS. Methods. were identified and antibody levels analysed three patients during disease course by ELISA method. Epitope mapping performed using recombinant fragments domain-mapped monoclonal antibodies. effect...
The present study was carried out to investigate leptin levels in arterial and venous cord serum amniotic fluid full-term infants at birth on the 5th postnatal day define relationship of intrauterine growth rate, gender early life. relation weight gain male preterm determined measuring concentration weekly first 5 weeks. Testosterone were simultaneously explore a possible between testosterone concentrations.Fifty-three term newborn with mean gestational age 3,419 g (range 2,150–4,480) 38.9...
The influence of environmental humidity and temperature on the thermal balance 45 full-term newborn infants was studied by direct calorimetry within 24 hours after birth. respiratory heat loss measured at 32C 20% relative (RH) represented 9.5% total production, it decreased to 2.9% when RH 80%. In neutral environment (32C, 50% RH), mean lower than that during a warm exposure (36C, in spite higher absolute latter condition. This suggests respiration might have thermoregulatory function...
In a case-control study the role of hyponatremia in hearing loss preterm infants was investigated. One hundred and sixty-four premature treated at neonatal intensive care unit were screened with transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEAOE). 32 TEAOE results indicated need for further investigations. Auditory brainstem response performed 22 cases had bilateral impairment (HI). The birth weight gestational age HI group 1,425 ± 528 g 30.4 3.7 weeks. matched control consisted 25 mean 1,410 280...
This study was designed to evaluate the levels of oxidative stress (OS) markers, total non-enzymatic antioxidant capacity (TAC) and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in serum follicular fluid (FF) patients undergoing vitro fertilization (IVF). The impact these biomarkers on IVF outcome also analysed. Samples were obtained from 61 (age: 36.40 ± 4.99 years; BMI: 22.54 2.46; infertility: 3.7 2.5 years [mean SD]) before after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH). Patients with without...
This preliminary study was designed to determine follicular fluid (FF) vanin-1 levels, assess their relation serum and reveal potential predict the outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Eighteen unselected, consecutive women undergoing IVF were included. Serum pooled FF samples obtained simultaneously during routine procedures. Vanin-1 levels measured by using commercially available ELISA kits. As most values below 0.6 ng/mL, data are given as optical density. It found that can be...
Aquaporin-1 and aquaporin-4, water channel membrane proteins reported in both experimental animals adult humans, have been detected different, non-overlapping areas of the central nervous system. This immunohistochemical study describes developmental expression pattern proteins, aquaporin-1 various structures human fetal brain over gestational period 14-40 weeks. immunostaining was exclusively found epithelial cells choroid plexus from 14th week, staining altered slightly time. At week 14,...
Objective This observational, clinical study was designed to assess the role of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), 6 (SIRT6), and resveratrol in vitro fertilization (IVF). Methods Paired serum follicular fluid (FF) samples were obtained from 30 consecutive patients (age: 36.43 ± 4.17 years, body mass index: 22.90 2.05 kg/m 2 , duration infertility: 5.10 2.80 years) who received IVF treatment. SIRT1, SIRT6, levels measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results Ovarian hyperstimulation resulted...
