RESUMO

AIM: Venice, Italy, provides a unique environment to study physical activity as there are no automobiles, and walking is the most common means of transportation. The purpose of the present investigation was to objectively assess the physical activity (PA) levels of residents in Venice, Italy, using an accelerometer. METHODS: Twenty-seven Venetians (12 men and 15 women, 48 ± 16 yr, 169.4 ± 6.6 cm, 71.7 ± 11.1 kg) had worn an accelerometer (Lifecorder Ex) for 7 consecutive days in order to determine daily number of steps, time spent in light (LPA), moderate (MPA), or vigorous intensity (VPA) and moderate to vigorous intensity (MVPA) as well as energy expenditure associated with PA (PAEE). The time for all PA and MVPA lasting at least 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes and 10 minutes were also assessed. RESULTS: The PAEE, number of steps, LPA, MPA, VPA and MVPA averaged over 7 days of week were 1575 ± 524 kJ∙day⁻¹, 11920 ± 3667 steps∙day⁻¹, 77 ± 23 min∙day 43 ± 19 min∙day⁻¹, and 45 ± 21 min∙day⁻¹. The time for MVPA lasting >10 min was 0.3 ± 0.9 min∙day⁻¹. CONCLUSION: The amount and intensity of PA in Venetian adults is substantially higher than in most other populations previously evaluated, particularly American adults. The effects of the highly active Venetian lifestyle on important health outcomes remain unclear, but warrant further investigation.

RESUMO

Phospholipase A(2) plays a role in cholesterol gallstone formation by hydrolyzing bile phospholipids into lysolecithin and free fatty acids. This study investigated its effects on cholesterol crystallization in model bile systems. Supersaturated model bile solutions with different cholesterol saturation indexes (1.2, 1.4, and 1.6) were prepared using cholesterol, taurocholate, and egg yolk phosphatidylcholine, soybean phosphatidylcholine, palmitoyl-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine, or palmitoyl-linoleoyl phosphatidylcholine. Then the effect of digestion of phosphatidylcholine by phospholipase A(2) on bile metastability was assessed by spectrophotometry and video-enhanced differential contrast microscopy. Addition of phospholipase A(2) caused the release of free fatty acids in a time-dependent manner. Cholesterol crystallization was enhanced by an increased crystal growth rate in model bile containing hydrophilic species such as soybean or palmitoyl-linoleoyl phosphatidylcholine, consisting predominantly of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Because phospholipase A(2) enhanced cholesterol crystallization in bile containing hydrophilic phosphatidylcholine species, but not hydrophobic phosphatidylcholine species, release of polyunsaturated fatty acids by hydrolysis may be responsible for such enhancement. Therefore, the role of phospholipase A(2) in cholesterol gallstone formation depends on the phospholipid species present in bile, so that phospholipid species selection during hepatic excretion is, in part, crucial to the cholesterol stone formation.

RESUMO

The concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is inversely correlated with the risk of coronary heart disease. The effects of low-intensity aerobic training on serum HDL-C and other lipoprotein concentrations were examined in healthy elderly subjects. The subjects were randomly assigned to two groups matched for sex, age, height, and weight. The training group (n = 20, 10 men and 10 women aged 67 +/- 4 years) participated in a supervised physical exercise regimen using a bicycle ergometer at an intensity of 50% estimated maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) for 60 minutes two to four times per week for 5 months. In contrast, the control group (n = 20, 10 men and 10 women aged 68 +/- 4 years) did not perform any particular physical training. The training protocol resulted in significant increases in the VO2max (P < .05), HDL-C, HDL2-C, and HDL2-C/HDL3-C ratio (P < .01). The change in HDL2-C (r = .57, P < .01) and HDL2-C/HDL3-C (r = .63, P < .01) was positively associated with an increase in the total exercise duration per week. In addition, the total weekly exercise duration also showed a significant positive relationship with HDL-C (r = .75, P < .01), HDL2-C (r = .81, P < .01), and HDL2-C/HDL3-C (r = .71, P < .01) after the training period. The changes in body weight and the VO2max were not significantly correlated with any lipid parameters. Low-intensity aerobic training may improve the profile of HDL-C and its subfractions in healthy elderly subjects. Also, the total exercise duration may be an important factor for improving HDL-C and HDL2-C in elderly subjects.

RESUMO

The use of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors has become common in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. The present uncontrolled study was undertaken to determine the effect of cerivastatin sodium (BAY w 6228), a new HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, on biliary lipid levels in patients with hypercholesterolemia. Twenty-one hypercholesterolemic patients (World Health Organization type IIa = 16 patients; type IIb = 5 patients) received placebo during a 4- to 6-week observation period, after which they received cerivastatin sodium 0.2 mg/d for 12 weeks. Fasting blood samples were drawn for the measurement of serum lipid levels early in the morning before the start of treatment and once a month for each of the 12 weeks of cerivastatin sodium treatment. Gallbladder bile samples were aspirated with a duodenal tube by cerulein stimulation to assess bile lithogenicity. Serum total cholesterol levels decreased markedly after 12 weeks. However, no significant difference was found in the molar percentage composition of biliary lipids (e.g., cholesterol, phospholipids, and total bile acids) or in individual biliary bile acids. Consequently, no significant change in bile cholesterol saturation index was found. The index values before and after 12 weeks of treatment were 0.81 +/- 0.38 and 0.80 +/- 0.47, respectively, whereas when patients were grouped by type of hypercholesterolemia, there was a tendency toward decreased lithogenicity in patients with type IIb but not type IIa hypercholesterolemia. We concluded that cerivastatin sodium was an effective cholesterol-lowering drug that did not appear to worsen biliary lipid metabolism and that may decrease lithogenicity in patients with type IIb hypercholesterolemia.

RESUMO

The characteristics of mitochondrial monoamine oxidase (MAO) in carp liver were studied with MAO inhibitors and substrates. This enzyme was thermolabile, but was stabilized in the presence of bovine serum albumin. With clorgyline and deprenyl, single-sigmoidal curves for inhibition of the activity towards tyramine or 5-hydroxytryptamine were obtained; the sensitivities to the two inhibitors were identical. The activity towards beta-phenylethylamine was not completely inhibited by clorgyline or deprenyl, but the remaining activity was inhibited by semicarbazide and the inhibition curves by either clorgyline or deprenyl and semicarbazide were also identical to the curves with the other two substrates. These results suggest that carp liver mitochondria contain "classical" MAO and a clorgyline- and deprenyl-resistant amine oxidase and that the classical MAO does not seem to be MAO-A or MAO-B, which are present in mitochondria of most mammalian tissues.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of 9 months of low intensity aerobic training on blood pressure in elderly hypertensive patients who were receiving antihypertensive medication. METHODS: The training group (N = 13; mean age 75.4 +/- 5.4 yr) agreed to take part in physical training using a treadmill with an exercise intensity at the blood lactate threshold (LT) for 30 min three to six times a week for 9 months. The rest (N = 13; mean age 73.1 +/- 4.2 yr) served as controls. RESULTS: The resting systolic (-15 +/- 8 mm Hg), mean (-11 +/- 6 mm Hg), and diastolic blood pressures (-9 +/- 9 mm Hg) decreased significantly after 3 months of training and the blood pressure of all participants stabilized at a significantly lower level by the end of the study (9 months) in the training group, whereas no significant changes in blood pressure were found in the control group. Both the pretraining systolic and diastolic blood pressure of those recruited patients negatively correlated with those changes after the training (SBP: P < 0.01; DBP: P < 0.05, respectively). After 1 month of detraining in five patients, the blood pressure levels were similar to those in the pretraining state. The LT increased significantly in the training group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: In conclusion, an additional antihypertensive effect of mild aerobic training at the LT was confirmed in elderly patients receiving antihypertensive medication. The cessation of such training in five patients, however, resulted in a relatively rapid return to pretraining levels within a month.

RESUMO

Twenty-five cases of paraplegia due to fracture-dislocations of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae were treated using the halo-pelvic apparatus. Thirteen of them only needed the apparatus, two underwent laminectomy, and ten had posterior spinal fusion in addition. The advantages of this method are that gentle reduction can be achieved without severe complications, and that posterior spinal fusion can be performed with this apparatus on, thus enabling an early start to the subsequent exercise program and minimal absence from work.

RESUMO

Today Vitallium is used for surgical implants. It is a casting alloy which, with advances in casting technology, is also used commercially for making instruments of fairly complex shape. Because of its expense, however, it is not widely used in Japan. Instead, a series of 18-8 Mo alloys are used in Japan even though of insufficient strength. Used over a long period of time in the body, especially for the purpose of preserving structual functions as part of the human skeleton, it often corrodes, resulting in either abnormalities in tissue cells or, because of its insufficient strength, danger of bending and breaking with aging. In spite of a marked advance in fracture treatment, we have hardly any suitable materials for making instruments appropriate to the internal fixation of fractures in Japan. We, therefore, conducted various experiments to develop an alloy with sufficient corrosive resistance and strength that could be formed into a complex shape to take the place of Vitallium alloy, finally succeeding in developing an alloy we call "COP". The characteristic properties of COP may be summarized as follows: 1. The main components are 20% Cr, 20% Ni, 20% Co and 4% Mo aside from 0.2% P. 2. As it contains "P", it shows a marked age-hardening. In its molten state its machinability is excellent, and later it can readily be hardened by heat-treatment. 3. It has not only a marked yield point and tensile strength but also has toughness in elongation and reduction of area, showing a strength which surpasses Vitallium. 4. Its corrosive resistance is great. 5. Its cost is far cheaper than Vitallium.

RESUMO

Operative treatment of fractures of the neck and trochanter of the femur does not always produce a satisfactory result. This is usually due to biomechanical problems with the available internal fixation methods. We studied the anatomy of the neck of the femur by roentgenograms and sectional specimens from 70 cadavers. In addition, various nail-plates were subjected to buckling tests and, by simultaneously attaching a strain-gauge, stress distribution was calculated. The results of these preliminary studies were then used to design a new nail-plate better than those available at present. Testing of this new nail-plate confirmed that it had a strength equal to that of the Holt nail-plate (the strongest of the available nail-plates).

RESUMO

Five patients with abdominal tuberculous lymphadenitis were studied by ultrasound. The final diagnosis of tuberculosis was based on open biopsy in 2 patients, neck lymph node biopsy in 1, needle biopsy under ultrasound control in 2. Low-echoic and iso-echoic abdominal lymph nodes were seen in all patients and a mixed echoic lymph node was found in one of them. Enlarged, round or oval, lymph nodes were conglomeratically observed along the common hepatic artery, in the hepatoduodenal ligament and along the abdominal aorta. The size of the lymph node was found to be 20-70 mm. In one case, compression of the portal trunk and the common bile duct due to a large lymph node was observed, and arterioportography showed hepatopetal collateral veins. In the other case, multiple mass lesions in the liver and the spleen were observed. In the 4 patients who were observed by ultrasound at 2 months after anti-tuberculosis therapy, enlarged lymph nodes decreased and 3 of them changed from low-echo to iso-echo in the echo pattern. Of the 4 patients who were followed for more than 4 months, lymph nodes disappeared in 2 at 4 months and in one at 12 months. The remaining patient showed residual nodes which decreased in half at 8 months. Ultrasound is now used commonly in the examination of the abdomen, and there are cases of abdominal lymph nodes swelling due to varied diseases. In this study, there were no characteristic ultrasonographic findings in abdominal tuberculous lymphadenitis. So, it is difficult to diagnose the cause of abdominal lymph node swelling by only ultrasound.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

RESUMO

In Japan, BCG vaccination, which covers more than 90% of infants, has been given according to the national immunization policy. Moreover, first-grade children in elementary school are screened with tuberculin skin test, and those who show negative reaction in the Japanese standard, i.e. size of erythema less than 10 mm, are re-vaccinated with BCG according to the Tuberculosis Prevention Law. However, since the incidence of tuberculosis among children below age 14 is as low as 1.5/100,000 in Japan, it is time to reconsider the BCG vaccination policy. As the first step to assess the efficiency of the present program, we observed the occurrence of Koch's phenomenon after BCG vaccination in elementary school children in Chiba City in 1995 and 1996, and we introduced the two-step tuberculin test to elementary school children in 1997. Among 180 BCG vaccinated children in 1995 and 1996, 168 (93.3%) had been vaccinated by 4-year of age. We could follow local reaction of BCG re-vaccination and observed Koch's phenomenon in 117 (69.6%, 95% C.I. of 62.7-76.6%). Among 92 tuberculin negative children in 1997, 85 (92.4%) had been vaccinated by 4-year of age. In the two-step tuberculin test program of 85 initial negative-reactors, 63 (74.1%, 95% C.I. of 64.8-83.4%) turned to positive by the second test. Those results suggest that more than 69% of tuberculin-negative school children who were vaccinated previously maintained immunity with BCG. Our studies raised a problem of the current BCG re-vaccination policy that depends on the result of tuberculin test. Due to the discrepancy between tuberculin allergy and immunity in tuberculosis, many school children may be given BCG vaccination unnecessarily. Taking into consideration the incidence of tuberculosis in children, discontinuation of BCG re-vaccination policy at elementary school entrance should be considered.

RESUMO

The effects of short-term low intensity aerobic training on the physiological indexes and the Quality of Life were examined in 43 middle-aged White Collar Workers. Training was carried out for 205 +/- 117 minutes/week, at least 2-3 times/week for 2 months on a cycle ergometer or walking with intensity level set at the 50% VO2max. Following this training protocol, thirty-six men (exercise group) completed the 2-month training program and 7 men dropped out (the dropout group). In the exercise group, both the VO2max (l/min) and VO2max/wt increased significantly (VO2max (l/min): P < 0.05. VO2max/wt: P < 0.01), whereas the weight, body mass index, %fat, fat (kg) and the waist hip ratio (WHR) decreased significantly (WHR: P < 0.05, others: P < 0.01) after 2 months. In addition, the DBP and serum TC, LDL-c/HDL-c decreased significantly (LDL-c/HDL-c: P < 0.01, others: P < 0.05) whereas the HDL-c increased significantly (P < 0.05). A modified Croog questionnaire was used to assess the subject's Quality of Life. The questionnaire consisted of 59 questions and the overall assessment was based on eight components. Regarding the Quality of Life, physical symptoms, work performance and satisfaction, total Quality of Life all improved significantly (physical symptoms, P < 0.05; others: P < 0.01) and social participation also tended to improve (P < 0.08). There was a significantly negative correlation between the initial Quality of Life and the changes in the Quality of Life (6 of the 8 components). In the all subjects, there was a significantly positive correlation between the changes in physical symptoms and the changes in VO2max/wt (r = 0.36, P < 0.05). In the dropout group, the FBS increased significantly (P < 0.05) but no other variables regarding the Quality of Life significantly changed after 2 months. In conclusion the above results suggest that short-term low intensity aerobic training in the present study can help improve the physiological indexes, VO2max and Quality of Life in middle-aged White Collar Workers and the observed improvement in the Quality of Life was also found to be greater in the subjects with a low Quality of Life than in those with a high Quality of Life.

RESUMO

We describe the cases of 2 patients, a father and his son, with DRPLA who underwent MR examinations prior to death and in whom postmortem examinations of the brain were obtained. MR imaging findings had the following features: 1) atrophy of the cerebellum and brain stem were the common findings, 2) high-signal-intensity lesions in the cerebral white matter and brain stem were observed on T2-weighted images in the patient with adult-onset DRPLA, 3) signal-intensity changes in the cerebral white matter were restricted to the periventricular white matter in the patient with juvenile-onset DRPLA, but these changes appear in the advanced stage, and 4) progressive cerebral atrophy was more marked in the patient with juvenile-onset DRPLA. In the patients with DRPLA, the abnormal high signal intensity of the cerebral white matter or brain stem on MR images reflect the loss of myelinated fibers. Cerebral atrophy mainly reflects atrophy of the neuropile.

RESUMO

The gallbladder role in cholesterol gallstone pathogenesis occurs through modulation of bile cholesterol metastability. The present study characterized the effects of concentrating bile on cholesterol crystallization through vesicle transformation, crystal habits, and potentiation of effector substances. Supersaturated model biles with total lipid concentrations of 12, 9, 6, and 3 g/dl were prepared with identical molar ratios (taurocholate-egg yolk phosphatidylcholine-cholesterol: 71:18:11). Bile metastability was assessed spectrophotometrically, and morphology of vesicle and crystal was sequentially scanned by video-enhanced differential contrast microscopy. The effects of replacing 30% of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine with soy bean phosphatidylcholine, 30% of taurocholate with taurodeoxycholate or tauroursodeoxycholate, and addition of concanavalin A-binding glycoprotein on each model bile were examined. By lowering total lipid concentration, cholesterol crystallization was retarded with less fusion and aggregation of vesicles. The effects of substances promoting cholesterol crystallization were enhanced with lesser bile. By replacing 30% of taurocholate with tauroursodeoxycholate, cholesterol crystallization was markedly inhibited in all concentrations, forming stable liquid-crystals. Impaired water absorption by the gallbladder may stabilize vesicles and inhibit rapid cholesterol crystallization, but the potential of cholesterol crystallization effector substances must be modified to alter bile cholesterol metastability.
