Texto completoIntroduzione: La spasticità è un danno neurologico comune conseguente ad una lesione al sistema nervoso centrale, ma i contributi neurali e biomeccanici ad esso correlati sono ancora poco conosciuta. Studi istopatologici hanno dimostrato un aumento generalizzato nel tessuto connettivo extracellulare nei muscoli spastici, che può diminuire la sua funzionalità e ridurre la soglia per la stimolazione dei fusi neuromuscolari. Con questo lavoro proponiamo e forniamo le prove preliminari per una nuova ipotesi per l'esacerbazione della spasticità in un arto immobilizzato: l'ipotesi ialuronato. Si Ipotizza che il tessuto connettivo extracellulare, che è composto principalmente da ialuronato, diventi iper-viscoso e rigido in un arto immobilizzato grazie alle sue proprietà non-Newtoniane. Metodi: In questo case series, è stata valutata la sicurezza, tollerabilità e efficacia della ialuronidasi ricombinante umana, che idrolizza lo ialuronato, in combinazione con una soluzione salina per ripristinare la funzionalità dei tessuti. Ventuno persone fisiche, con moderata-grave spasticità degli arti superiori in più di una articolazione, hanno ricevuto multiple iniezioni intramuscolari di ialuronidasi-salina. Gli effetti avversi sono stati monitorati per 15 settimane. La Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) ha valutato la riduzione della spasticità mentre la l’escursione articolare di movimento attiva e passiva è stata valutata mediante analisi quantitativa del movimento dell'arto (ROM) superiore tramite video. Risultati: 21 partecipanti sono stati inclusi. La procedura è stata ben tollerata. Il monitoraggio estensivo sulla sicurezza dei pazienti non ha rivelato eventi avversi clinicamente significativi a 15 settimane. Il trattamento è risultato efficace nel ridurre la spasticità in tutti i ventuno partecipanti che hanno ricevuto le iniezioni (p <0.05 di 16 valutazione su 24 nella ROM passivo e 17 su 24 nel ROM attivo). Le misure di funzione motoria (MAS) hanno mostrato un mantenimento del miglioramento a 15 mesi (p = 0,000). Conclusioni: La somministrazione di ialuronidasi-salina in più siti è risultata sicura e ben tollerata in pazienti adulti con spasticità; tuttavia, questi risultati devono essere visti come preliminari fino a quando ulteriori studi clinici controllati in cieco non saranno disponibili.

Texto completoArterial stiffness and fibrosis have a predictive value in the development of cardiovascular diseases (CV). These two phenotypes involve vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) including membrane receptors and cytoskeletal proteins. The objectives were to examine: (i) the influence of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) on vascular reactivity, (ii) the role of avb3 integrin in the development of arterial stiffness and vascular fibrosis, and (iii) the impact of vimentin and synemin on arterial structure and function. The mice with genetic invalidation of the proteins of interest were used in these three studies. Results: the absence of MR decreased vascular reactivity by altering the contraction/relaxation coupling of VSMC through Ca2+- and NO-dependent mechanisms (a decrease of vasoconstriction in response to extracellular Ca2+ and impaired endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation in response to acetylcholine). The invalidation of the αv subunit prevented fibrosis in response to the administration of angiotensin II. The absence of vimentin, and not that of the synemin, increased arterial stiffness via changes in focal adhesions of VSMCs as well as endothelial cells. In conclusion, the studied membrane receptors and intracellular proteins that influenced the structure and function of arteries through specific actions on muscle tone, the mechanotransduction and the ultra-structural organization of VSMCs. These studies show the multifactorial dependency of the stiffness-fibrosis phenotypes of the arterial wall at the cellular and molecular levels. These results require more mechanistic work to determine the role of these proteins in CV diseases related to aging

Texto completoMyofibrillar Myopathy is a slowly progressive neuromuscular disease characterized by severe muscular disorders caused by mutations in the gene encoded cytoskeletal proteins. One of the genes described in connection with the development of MFM is DES. Mutations in the desmin gene lead to skeletal and cardiac muscles myopathies. However, the cardiac pathological consequences caused by them remain poorly understood. My objective is to create an in vitro human stem cell model of MFM to specifically investigate the role of patient-specific mutations in desmin on cardiac lineage development and function. To achieve that objective, in collaboration with Drs. Behin and K. Wahbi and Phenocell, we generate patient-specific iPSC from peripheral blood cells of the patient suffering severel form of desmin-deficient cardiomyopathy. The generated iPSC lines carrying DES gene mutations enable a powerful examination of the role of desmin mutation on cardiomyocyte specification and function. Bioenergetic, structural, and contractile function will be assessed in a single cell. In conclusion, it should be noted that desmin mutations lead to a disorganization of sarcomere structures in cardiomyocytes and to a perturbation of mitochondrial protein expression. This leads to a distortion of functions in the mitochondria. These data facilitate the understanding of the molecular pathway underlying the development of desmin-related myopathy. And the system we have created could also allow us to better evaluate the correlation between the desmin genotype and phenotype in terms of effect on the heart

Texto completoThe functional adaptations of various skeletal muscles, were investigated in response to a high-intensity exercise training, i. E. Jumping. The mechanical analysis reveals an increase in resistance and passive stiffness of pennate Extensor Digitorum Longus (EDL) and Rectus Femoris (RF) muscles after training, in addition to a general increase induced by age. This increase in passive mechanical qualities could be linked to an increase in collagen concentration of muscles. .

"The relative effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitated stretching immediately after eccentric exercise vs proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitated stretching post delayed onset muscle soreness in healthy, sedentary male subjects". Thesis, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/10321/2096.
Texto completoDelayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is muscular pain which ranges from mild discomfort to severe debilitating pain, caused by eccentric exercise. It generally sets in 12 - 24 hours after the causative activity and subsides within approximately seven days. The aim of this study was to determine whether proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitated (PNF) stretching immediately after eccentric exercise was more beneficial than PNF stretching 24 hours after eccentric exercise on the muscle pain experienced in DOMS. This study was a prospective, randomised clinical trial. Thirty healthy sedentary male participants were randomly selected to participate in the study by advertising in local newspapers and pamphlet distribution in Durban and its surrounding areas. The patients' ages ranged from 20 to 32 years of age. Subjective and objective readings were taken at the beginning and end of each visit, over the three-day study period. This was done with the numerical pain rating scale and the algometer force gauge, respectively. Baseline measurements were taken before any exercise or stretching at the initial visit. All participants then were asked to do squats until fatigue to induce delayed onset muscle soreness. III The participants were divided randomly into two groups, Group A and Group B. The former group underwent PNF stretching immediately after exercise and the latter group underwent PNF stretching twenty four hours after exercise. Both groups were asked to return for two subsequent days following the initial visit and they again underwent PNF stretching at each visit. Comparison was made between the individual patients' pain perception over time, as well as between each group. Descriptive analysis was done using frequency tables (reporting counts and percentages) for categorical variables and summary statistics (reporting mean, standard deviation and range), for quantitative variables. Baseline and demographic characteristics were compared between the two treatment groups using independent t-tests for quantitative variables and Pearson's chisquare tests for categorical variables. The treatment effect was assessed using repeated measures ANOVA testing. Statistical analysis revealed that there was no difference in the improvement of pain experienced between the two groups. However, Group B (PNF stretching 24 hours after exercise) appeared to improve at a greater rate than Group A (PNF stretching immediately after exercise). A larger study needs to be conducted in order to provide statistically relevant results.

Texto completoThrough the literature review it has become apparent that low back pain is a very real problem in most societies. It has been suggested that there is enough evidence to prove the relationship between low back pain and local muscle dysfunction and that focus in management of these patients should be the rehabilitation of these muscles by exercise. Literature suggests that optimal core muscle strength, control and endurance working synergistically with the rest of the neuromusculoskeletal system is necessary for lumbar spine stability . Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition is caused by distension and/or damage of a joint and is thought to disable the muscle from contracting all its muscle fibres. When a joint is injured it is thought that AMI causes muscle weakness, which in turn hampers the rehabilitation process of that joint despite complete muscle integrity. Spinal manipulative therapy has been shown to alter the excitability of spinal muscle motor neurons due to the stimulation of mechanoreceptors in the joint capsules suggesting that SMT could be a means to remove this inhibitory action. The literature supports the hypothesis that a decrease in the neurological deficit caused by AMI may result in a faster recovery rate. Aims The aim of this study is to determine the immediate effect of thoraco-lumbar spinal manipulation compared to lower lumbar spinal manipulation on core muscle endurance and activity in patients with mechanical low back pain by assessing the correlation between the objective and subjective measures. Method A prospective, convenience sample with purpose allocation (pre /post) clinical trial was used as the sampling method. Thirty participants where placed in two groups, group one and group two, of fifteen people each. Group one underwent spinal v manipulative therapy between L4 and S1 spinal levels. Group two underwent spinal manipulative therapy in between T8 and L1 spinal levels. The objective and subjective testing was done pre- and post-intervention. The objective data was that of a surface EMG attached bilaterally over the internal oblique as well as a prone abdominal draw in biofeedback test. The subjective data included a pain numerical rating scale (0-100). Results The results showed to partially favour group two (thoraco-lumbar), in both increased endurance time that would prove that AMI does in fact inhibit the transversus abdominis and obliques internus, thus it would hinder the rehabilitative process. Some of the statistics where not in favour of the aims, as there was no difference in the effect of group one or two on the NRS, as both improved consistently. It would be recommended that use be made of fine-wire EMG for testing the activity in both the obliques internus and the transversus abdominis, which would allow for more consistent readings, thus adding strength to the research.

Texto completoThe Transversus Abdominis (TrA) muscle is recognised in the literature as playing a vital and protective role in maintaining a healthy core and aiding lumbar biomechanics in the dampening of external forces applied to the lumbar spine. Pilates purports to employ the principles of core training yet there remains a deficit in the literature despite its popularity in rehabilitation and fitness industries. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Pilates method in training the TrA in comparison to a moderately active population that regularly exercises in a gym environment, as well as a sedentary control.
