卒中后抑郁患者小脑磁共振波谱成像改变的临床研究
2016
目的应用氢质子磁共振波谱成像(1H-MRS)技术,探讨卒中后抑郁(PSD)患者小脑代谢的改变及其与抑郁严重程度的关系。方法以卒中患者作为研究对象,回顾性收集人口学、个人疾病史和生活方式的数据,对40例卒中患者及20例健康志愿者进行自评抑郁量表(SDS)和汉密尔顿抑郁量表(HAMD)评分。根据评分结果,将卒中患者分为卒中后抑郁(PSD)组和卒中后无抑郁(CONT)组。对PSD组、CONT组和正常对照(NORM)组进行T1WI、T2WI、DWI及1H-MRS检查,评估脑梗死体积和脑白质病变部位及严重程度,测定小脑半球N-乙酰天冬氨酸(NAA)/肌酸(Cr)、胆碱复合物(Cho)/Cr、Cho/NAA比值,并分析卒中后小脑代谢改变与HAMD评分间的关系。结果 CONT组双侧小脑NAA/Cr、Cho/Cr、Cho/NAA比值与NORM组比较差异均无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。与NORM组和CONT组比较,PSD组病灶对侧小脑Cho/Cr、Cho/NAA比值均较高(P〈0.05),病灶同侧小脑Cho/Cr、Cho/NAA比值差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05),而双侧小脑NAA/Cr比值差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。PSD组家庭APGAR问卷评分、ARWMC总分、发病14d时NIHSS评分、病灶对侧小脑Cho/Cr和Cho/NAA比值与CONT组比较差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。多重线性回归分析显示,病灶对侧小脑Cho/Cr、Cho/NAA比值与HAMD评分具有相关性(P〈0.05)。结论小脑可能参与了卒中后抑郁的发生。

2012
目的观察大鼠饮用不同剂量氟水后发生中、重度氟斑牙的下颌切牙超微结构。方法给SD雄性大鼠分别自由饮用0、25、50、100mg/L的含氟水,于不同的时间点用数码相机对大鼠下颌切牙进行唇侧正位照相,将中、重度氟斑牙的左、右侧下颌切牙分别进行扫描电镜及透射电镜的超微结构观察。结果正常鼠切牙的釉质是一层由成釉细胞形成的棕色色素薄层,呈橘黄色、棕黄色;中度氟斑牙表面呈现不同程度棕、白色相间的水平状条纹,透光度降低;重度氟斑牙牙面出现白垩色外观,不透明。扫描电镜显示正常大鼠下颌切牙牙面平整、致密,仅在颈部有小的点窝;中、重度氟斑牙牙面粗糙,点窝在牙冠和牙颈部都明显存在,颈部甚至出现堆积的无釉柱状突起。透射电镜显示随着氟斑牙严重程度加重成釉细胞呈现一系列细胞凋亡的迹象。结论不同程度的氟斑牙分泌期成釉细胞呈现一系列细胞凋亡迹象,且氟斑牙越严重,细胞凋亡的改变越明显。

Chemerin is present in various inflammatory sites and is closely involved in tissue inflammation. Recent studies have demonstrated that chemerin treatment can cause either anti-inflammatory or pro-inflammatory effects according to the disease model being investigated. Elevated circulating chemerin was recently found in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); however, the role of chemerin in intestinal inflammation remains unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that the administration of exogenous chemerin (aa 17-156) aggravated the severity of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis, which was characterized by higher clinical scores, extensive mucosal damage and significantly increased local and systemic production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, TNF-a and interferon (IFN-7). Interestingly, chemerin did not appear to influence the magnitudes of inflammatory infiltrates in the colons, but did result in significantly decreased colonic expression of M2 macrophage-associated genes, including Arginase 1 (Arg-1), Yml, FIZZ1 and IL-IO, following DSS exposure, suggesting an impaired M2 macrophage skewing in vivo. Furthermore, an in vitro experiment showed that the addition of chemerin directly suppressed M2 macrophage-associated gene expression and STAT6 phosphorylation in IL-4-stimulated macrophages. Significantly elevated chemerin levels were found in colons from DSS-exposed mice and from ulcerative colitis (UC) patients and appeared to positively correlate with disease severity. Moreover, the in vivo administration of neutralizing anti-chemerin antibody significantly improved intestinal inflammation following DSS exposure. Taken together, our findings reveal a pro-inflammatory role for chemerin in DSS-induced colitis and the ability of chemerin to suppress the anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage response. Our study also suggests that upregulated chemerin in inflamed colons may contribute to the pathogenesis of IBD.

Background: Postmastectomy pain syndrome (PM PS) is defined as a chronic (continuing for 3 or more months) neuropathic pain affecting the axilla, medial arm, breast, and chest wall after breast cancer surgery. The prevalence of PMPS has been reported to range from 20% to 68%. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of PMPS among mastectomy patients, the severity of neuropathic pain in these patients, risk factors that contribute to pain becoming chronic, and the effect of PMPS on life quality. Methods: This cross-sectional study was approved by the Sakarya University, Medical Faculty Ethical Council and included 146 patients ranging in age from 18 to 85 years who visited the pain clinic, general surgery clinic, and oncology clinic and had breast surgery between 2012 and 2014. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether they met PMPS criteria: pain at axilla, arm, shoulder, chest wall, scar tissue, or breast at least 3 months after breast surgery. All patients gave informed consent prior to entry into the study. Patient medical records were collected, and pain and quality of life were evaluated by the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, a short form of the McGill Pain Questiomlaire (SF-MPQ), douleur neuropathique-4 (DN-4), and SF-36. Results: Patient mean age was 55.2 ± 11.8 years (33.0-83.0 years). PMPS prevalence was 36%. Mean scores on the VAS, SF-MPQ, and DN-4 in PMPS patients were 1.76 ±2.38 (0-10), 1.73 ± 1.54 (0-5), and 1.64 ± 2.31 (0-8), respectively. Of these patients, 31 (23.7%) had neuropathic pain characteristics, and 12 (9.2%) had phantom pain according to the DN-4 survey. Patients who had modified radical mastectomy were significantly more likely to develop PMPS than patients who had breast-protective surgery (P = 0.028). Only 2 (2.4%) of PMPS patients had received proper treatment (anticonvulsants or opioids). Conclusions: PMPS seriously impacts patients' emotional situation, daily activities, and social relationships and is a majior economic burden for health systems. We conclude that the rate of PMPS among patients receiving breast cancer surgery in Turkey is 64.1% and that challenges to the proper treatment of these patients deserve further investigation.

Background: Early adversity (EA) can contribute to the onset, manifestation, and course of various mental disorders. Measuring EA is still conceptually and psychometrically challenging due to issues such as content coverage, item-wording, scaling methods, and validation procedures. Further, despite research demonstrating the importance of the severity of EA, most EA scales solely focused on the 'presence-versus-absence' indicator of adverse events.
Objective: To address these potentially relevant gaps, we have developed a 13-item measure of EA, the Youth and Childhood Adversity Scale (YCAS). Beyond a dichotomous assessment of whether a set of adverse events have been experienced, this scale also assesses the respective severity of these events.
Methods: We evaluated the YCAS in a sample of 596 adolescent students (ages 16-19) and a second sample of 451 medical students (ages 18-30+). Exploratory factor analysis was used to determine the underlying structure as proposed by the data, which was then tested with confirmatory factor analysis. We psychometrically assessed both factor scores and sum scores.
Results: In both samples, a one-factorial solution was found for both responses to dichotomous items and severity items. Item loadings had a broad range, with minimum loadings of .1-.2 and maximum loadings of .7-.9. Irrespective of the response type, this factor exhibited good reliability (omega total, range: .80 − .89) and was associated with a range of mental-health outcomes, self-esteem, and childhood maltreatment. The fit of the model resembling sum scores was not satisfactory, but the sum score reliability (coefficient alpha, range: .78 − .89) was acceptable and most of the associations with the validation measures held.
Conclusions: The YCAS allows an efficient, reliable, and valid assessment of EA and its severity. It covers a reasonable breadth of events, whilst simultaneously being parsimonious. We discuss next steps of how to improve this measure to fully capture the complexity of EA.
We present the Youth and Childhood Adversity Scale (YCAS), measuring the presence and severity of adversities.
Both yes/no and severity ratings had a 1-factor solution of good reliability and validity.
Further refinement of the YCAS, eg improved content breadth, is suggested.

Complement 5a (C5a) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of sepsis by inducing the functional impairment of neutrophils; however, the utility of C5a receptors (C5aRs; C5aR and C5L2) as biomarkers for the management of sepsis is uncertain. This study investigated the dynamic expression of C5aR and C5L2 on neutrophits and their effects on neutrophil function. We found that sepsis patients displayed low expression levels of C5aR and C5L2 on neutrophils compared to healthy and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) subjects, and this expression pattern was correlated with disease severity. Additionally, the expression levels of C5aR and C5L2 were associated with the survival of sepsis patients. In vitro, the addition of C5a significantly reduced C5aR and C5L2 expression levels and IL-8 production in neutrophils from sepsis patients. Those findings suggest that the reduced expression of C5aRs was associated with the functional impairment of neutrophils and a poor prognosis for sepsis patients. Overall, these findings may help establish C5aRs expression levels as early markers to predict the severity of sepsis.
