Effects of acute and chronic midthoracic spinal cord injury on neural circuits for male sexual function. II. Descending pathways. (1/59)
In normal animals, microstimulation of the medullary reticular formation (MRF) has two effects on efferent neurons in the motor branch of the pudendal nerve (PudM). MRF microstimulation depresses motoneuron reflex discharges (RD) elicited by dorsal nerve of the penis (DNP) stimulation and produces long latency sympathetic fiber responses (SFR). The midthoracic spinal location of these descending MRF-PudM projections was studied electrophysiologically using a variety of acute and chronic lesions. Chronic lesions, in 27 mature male rats, included dorsal (DHx) or lateral (LHx) hemisections or moderate/severe contusions (Cx) at spinal level T(8). Behavioral data (sexual reflex latency, bladder voiding) obtained throughout the recovery period revealed a significant impairment of urogenital function for the DHx and severe Cx groups of animals. Microstimulation-induced PudM-RDs and PudM-SFRs, obtained in terminal electrophysiological experiments 30 days postinjury in the same 27 rats (urethan-anesthetized), were tested for a combined total of 1,404 bilateral MRF sites. PudM-RD was obtained for LHx and moderate Cx groups of animals but not for DHx or severe Cx groups. PudM-SFRs were obtained for LHx, DHx (although significantly weakened) and moderate Cx groups but not for those having received either an over-DHx or a severe Cx injury. PudM responses also were tested for 6 MRF sites in six intact control rats both before and after various select acute spinal cord lesions. For MRF sites producing a robust PudM-RD and PudM-SFR, acute bilateral lesions confined to the dorsolateral quadrant (DLQ) eliminated the PudM-RD but failed to eliminate PudM-SFRs. A deeper lesion encompassing additional white matter located dorsally in the ventrolateral quadrant (VLQ) was necessary to eliminate PudM-SFRs. Overall, these electrophysiological results provide evidence for descending projections conveying information between MRF and the lower thoracic/lumbosacral male urogenital circuitry within the DLQ and the dorsal-most aspect of VLQ at the midthoracic level of spinal cord. The alterations of supraspinal projections observed after chronic injury are likely of important clinical significance for functional recovery in cases of clinically incomplete spinal cord injury at midthoracic spinal cord. (+info)Collagen studies in late pregnant relaxin null mice. (2/59)
The relaxin knockout (rlx -/-) mouse was used to assess the effect, during pregnancy, of relaxin with regard to water, collagen content, growth, and morphology of the nipple (N), vagina (V), uterus, cervix (C), pubic symphysis (PS), and mammary gland (MG). The results presented here indicate that during pregnancy, relaxin increases the growth of the N, C, V, and PS. Large increases in water content in the PS (20%) occurred in pregnant (Day 18.5) wild-type (rlx +/+) mice but not in rlx -/- animals. This indicates that in the PS, relaxin might increase the concentration of a water-retaining extracellular matrix component (hyaluronate). In the pregnant rlx +/+ mouse, collagen content decreased significantly in the N and V but not in other tissues. There were no significant changes in the rlx -/- mouse. This contrasts with findings in the rat, in which relaxin has been found to cause decreases in collagen concentrations in the V, C, and PS. Histological analysis showed that the collagen stain was more condensed in the tissues (V, C, PS, N, and MG) of rlx -/- mice than in those of rlx +/+ mice. This phenomenon indicates that the failure of collagen degradation and lack of growth in the N underlie the inability of the rlx -/- mice to feed their young, as reported previously. Vaginal and cervical luminal epithelia, which proliferated markedly in the rlx +/+ pregnant mice, remained relatively atrophic in the rlx -/- mice. As proliferation and differentiation of uterine and vaginal epithelia are thought to be induced by a paracrine stromal factor that acts upon estrogen stimulation, our results indicate that relaxin may be this paracrine factor. (+info)The relaxin receptor-binding site geometry suggests a novel gripping mode of interaction. (3/59)
Relaxin has a unique, clearly identifiable, mixed function receptor-binding region comprising amino acid residues that evolve sequentially from the central portion of the B chain alpha-helix. Two arginine residues in positions B13 and B17 that project like forefinger and middle finger from the helix provide the electrostatic element opposed by the hydrophobic (thumb) element isoleucine (B20), offset from the arginines by about 40 degrees. The binding intensity of relaxin to its receptor decreases by 3 orders of magnitude if alanine is substituted for the newly discovered binding component isoleucine in position B20. The arginine residues cannot be replaced by other positive charges, nor can the guanidinium group be presented on a longer or shorter hydrocarbon chain. In contrast, the hydrophobic interaction is incremental in nature, and the contribution to the total binding energy is roughly proportional to the number of hydrocarbon units in the side chain. It appears that a hydrophobic surface exists on the receptor that offers optimal van der Waals' interaction with beta-branched hydrophobic amino acids. The binding energy increases roughly 10-fold with each methylene group whereby beta-branching is more effective per surface unit than chain elongation. Aromatic side chains appear to demarcate the extent of the binding region in so far as residues larger than phenylalanine decrease receptor binding. The exceptional clarity of binding site geometry in relaxin makes for an excellent opportunity to design peptido-mimetics.

Oncogenic hypophosphataemic osteomalacia is a rare condition. The causative tumour is often difficult to locate. Primary tumours have been reported in the head and neck, skeleton, and soft tissue. Octreotide scanning was used in this case and detected a mesenchymal tumour in the pubic symphysis. (+info)Symphysis-fundal height growth chart of an obstetric cohort of 817 Mozambican women with ultrasound-dated singleton pregnancies. (6/59)
Our aim was to construct a new symphysis-fundus height (SFH) growth chart, based on Mozambican women with ultrasound-dated singleton pregnancy, who represent the largest obstetric cohort in a developing country followed for this purpose. Two antenatal clinics were chosen in the suburban area of Maputo City. A cohort of 904 consecutively recruited antenatal clients was followed until delivery. The growth of the SFH was measured every second to third week. Gestational age was determined by ultrasound at enrolment. Women with multiple pregnancy or with gestational age > 21 weeks at enrolment were excluded. The average number of antenatal SFH measurements per woman was 7.8 (SD 2.4). The drop out rate was 9.6%. Mean birthweight was 2909 g. Pre-term deliveries occurred in 15% and low birthweight deliveries (< 2500 g) in 16%. Using proper longitudinal methods, we constructed an FH growth chart and compared it with various previously published SFH charts, which showed the Mozambican chart to be 0-3 cm below the others. Nulliparous women were 0.5 cm below multiparous women. We did not find any difference in the SFH growth charts between women with or without overt morbidity. Women with a body mass index (BMI) < 19 and women with a BMI > 27 had approximately 1 cm lower and 1 cm higher readings, respectively, than women with normal BMI. The Mozambican SFH growth chart is an example of an elaborated growth chart for a well-defined population in a low-income country. It constitutes the basis for further studies to predict the small-for-gestational age newborn from anthropometrical data obtained by use of appropriate technology. (+info)The impact of adjustment for parity and mid-upper-arm circumference on sensitivity of symphysis-fundus height measurements to predict SGA foetuses in Mozambique. (7/59)
BACKGROUND: With a new symphysis-fundus height (SFH) growth chart, based on Mozambican women with ultrasound-dated singleton pregnancies, the aim was to examine the possibility to enhance sensitivity of predicting small for gestational age (SGA) newborns by attempts to adjust the chart for parity and for mid-upper-arm circumference (MUAC). METHODS: Two antenatal clinics were chosen in the suburban area of Maputo City. A cohort of 904 consecutively recruited antenatal clients was followed until birth. Gestational age was determined by ultrasound at enrolment. The growth of the SFH was measured every 2-3 weeks. Women with multiple pregnancy or with gestational age >21 weeks at enrolment were excluded. Attempts were made to adjust SFH measurements for parity and MUAC by developing a mathematical model to increase sensitivity of the SFH method to predict a foetus being SGA. RESULTS: Parous women had on average 0.5-1 cm higher SFH readings than nulliparous women. Women with a body mass index (BMI) <19 and women with BMI >27 had approximately 1 cm lower and 1 cm higher readings, respectively, compared with women of normal BMI. There was a significant correlation between BMI and MUAC (r = 0.621; P < 0.001). The usefulness of SFH measurements to predict SGA newborns was analysed. The sensitivity was 49%, the specificity was 66%, the positive predictive value was 14% and the negative predictive value, 93%. By using the correlation between BMI and MUAC we tried to find a simple and useful method to improve the sensitivity of SFH to detect SGA foetuses. By reducing the SFH measurement by 1 cm for women with MUAC >29 and by 1 cm for multiparous women the sensitivity raised to 65% at the expense of reducing the specificity to 51%. Using a linear function of BMI, MUAC and parity to adjust the SFH measurement for each individual woman, it was possible to get a sensitivity of 70% with a corresponding specificity of 56%. CONCLUSION: By using BMI, MUAC and parity, it might be possible to improve the sensitivity of the SFH growth chart in predicting newborn being SGA but mostly at the expense of specificity. (+info)Guinea-pig interpubic joint (symphysis pubica) relaxation at parturition: underlying cellular processes that resemble an inflammatory response. (8/59)
BACKGROUND: At term, cervical ripening in coordination with uterine contractions becomes a prerequisite for a normal vaginal delivery. Currently, cervical ripening is considered to occur independently from uterine contractions. Many evidences suggest that cervical ripening resembles an inflammatory process. Comparatively little attention has been paid to the increased flexibility of the pelvic symphysis that occurs in many species to enable safe delivery. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the guinea-pig interpubic joint relaxation process observed during late pregnancy and parturition resembles an inflammatory process. METHODS: Samples of pubic symphysis were taken from pregnant guinea-pigs sacrificed along gestation, parturition and postpartum. Serial sections of paraffin-embedded tissues were used to measure the interpubic distance on digitalized images, stained with Giemsa to quantify leukocyte infiltration and to describe the vascular area changes, or studied by the picrosirius-polarization method to evaluate collagen remodeling. P4 and E2 serum levels were measured by a sequential immunometric assay. RESULTS: Data showed that the pubic relaxation is associated with an increase in collagen remodeling. In addition, a positive correlation between E2 serum levels and the increase in the interpubic distance was found. On the other hand, a leukocyte infiltration in the interpubic tissue around parturition was described, with the presence of almost all inflammatory cells types. At the same time, histological images show an increase in vascular area (angiogenesis). Eosinophils reached their highest level immediately before parturition; whereas for the neutrophilic and mononuclear infiltration higher values were recorded one day after parturition. Correlation analysis showed that eosinophils and mononuclear cells were positively correlated with E2 levels, but only eosinophilic infiltration was associated with collagen remodeling. Additionally, we observed typical histological images of dissolution of the connective tissue matrix around eosinophils. CONCLUSION: The present study shows that a timely regulated influx of infiltrating leukocytes is associated with an extensive collagen remodeling process that allows the pubic separation for a normal delivery in guinea-pig. Thus, the findings in this study support the hypothesis that the guinea-pig pubic symphyseal relaxation at parturition resembles an inflammatory process. (+info)The pubic symphysis is the joint in the front of the pelvis that connects the two halves of the pelvic girdle, specifically the pubic bones. It's located at the lower part of the anterior (front) pelvic region. Unlike most joints, which are movable and contain synovial fluid, the pubic symphysis is a cartilaginous joint, also known as an amphiarthrosis.
The joint consists of fibrocartilaginous discs, ligaments, and the articular surfaces of the adjacent pubic bones. The fibrocartilaginous disc helps to absorb shock and reduce friction between the two bones. The main function of the pubic symphysis is to provide stability for the pelvis and transfer weight and forces from the upper body to the lower limbs during activities like walking, running, or jumping.
The pubic symphysis has a limited range of motion, allowing only slight movement in response to pressure or tension. During pregnancy and childbirth, the hormone relaxin is released, which increases the laxity of the pelvic joints, including the pubic symphysis, to accommodate the growing fetus and facilitate delivery. This increased mobility can sometimes lead to discomfort or pain in the area, known as symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD) or pelvic girdle pain.
Pubic symphysis diastasis is a medical condition where there is an abnormal separation or widening of the pubic symphysis, which is the joint in the front of the pelvis that connects the two halves of the pelvic bone (innominate bones). This joint is normally made up of fibrocartilage and is held together by strong ligaments.
In pubic symphysis diastasis, these ligaments can become stretched or torn, leading to an increased distance between the two sides of the joint. This condition is often associated with pregnancy and childbirth, particularly in cases of prolonged labor, large birth weight, or instrument-assisted delivery (such as forceps or vacuum extraction). It can also occur due to trauma, such as a pelvic fracture, or as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the ligaments, like Marfan syndrome.
Mild cases of pubic symphysis diastasis may not cause significant symptoms and may heal on their own over time. However, severe cases can lead to pain, difficulty walking, and problems with bladder or bowel control. Treatment typically involves rest, physical therapy, and pain management, although in some cases surgery may be required to repair the joint.
The pubic bone, also known as the pubis or pubic symphysis, is a part of the pelvis - the complex ring-like structure that forms the lower part of the trunk and supports the weight of the upper body. The pubic bone is the anterior (front) portion of the pelvic girdle, located at the bottom of the abdomen, and it connects to the other side at the pubic symphysis, a cartilaginous joint.
The pubic bone plays an essential role in supporting the lower limbs and providing attachment for various muscles involved in movements like walking, running, and jumping. It also protects some abdominal organs and contributes to the structure of the pelvic outlet, which is crucial during childbirth.
Osteitis is a medical term that refers to the inflammation of bone tissue. It can occur as a result of various conditions, such as infection (osteomyelitis), trauma, or autoimmune disorders. The symptoms of osteitis may include pain, swelling, warmth, and redness in the affected area, as well as fever and general malaise. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause of the inflammation, which may involve antibiotics for infection or anti-inflammatory medications for other causes. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove infected or damaged bone tissue.
The pelvic bones, also known as the hip bones, are a set of three irregularly shaped bones that connect to form the pelvic girdle in the lower part of the human body. They play a crucial role in supporting the spine and protecting the abdominal and pelvic organs.
The pelvic bones consist of three bones:
1. The ilium: This is the largest and uppermost bone, forming the majority of the hip bone and the broad, flaring part of the pelvis known as the wing of the ilium or the iliac crest, which can be felt on the side of the body.
2. The ischium: This is the lower and back portion of the pelvic bone that forms part of the sitting surface or the "sit bones."
3. The pubis: This is the front part of the pelvic bone, which connects to the other side at the pubic symphysis in the midline of the body.
The pelvic bones are joined together at the acetabulum, a cup-shaped socket that forms the hip joint and articulates with the head of the femur (thigh bone). The pelvic bones also have several openings for the passage of blood vessels, nerves, and reproductive and excretory organs.
The shape and size of the pelvic bones differ between males and females due to their different roles in childbirth and locomotion. Females typically have a wider and shallower pelvis than males to accommodate childbirth, while males usually have a narrower and deeper pelvis that is better suited for weight-bearing and movement.
A dislocation is a condition in which a bone slips out of its normal position in a joint. This can happen as a result of trauma or injury, such as a fall or direct blow to the body. Dislocations can cause pain, swelling, and limited mobility in the affected area. In some cases, a dislocation may also damage surrounding tissues, such as ligaments, tendons, and nerves.
Dislocations are typically treated by reducing the dislocation, which means putting the bone back into its normal position. This is usually done with the help of medication to relieve pain and relaxation techniques to help the person stay still during the reduction. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair damaged tissues or if the dislocation cannot be reduced through other methods. After the dislocation has been reduced, the joint may be immobilized with a splint or sling to allow it to heal properly.
It is important to seek medical attention promptly if you suspect that you have a dislocation. If left untreated, a dislocation can lead to further complications, such as joint instability and chronic pain.
Estradiol antagonists, also known as antiestrogens, are a class of drugs that block the effects of estradiol, a female sex hormone, by binding to estrogen receptors without activating them. This results in the inhibition of estrogen-mediated activities in the body.
These drugs are often used in the treatment of hormone-sensitive cancers, such as breast cancer, where estrogen can promote the growth of cancer cells. By blocking the effects of estrogen, estradiol antagonists can help to slow or stop the growth of these cancer cells and reduce the risk of cancer recurrence.
Examples of estradiol antagonists include tamoxifen, raloxifene, and fulvestrant. While these drugs are generally well-tolerated, they can cause side effects such as hot flashes, mood changes, and vaginal dryness. In some cases, they may also increase the risk of blood clots and endometrial cancer.
Periostitis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the periosteum, which is the highly vascularized tissue that covers the outer surface of bones. The periosteum contains nerves and blood vessels that supply the bone and assist in bone repair and remodeling. Periostitis can occur as a result of various factors such as repetitive trauma, infection, or inflammatory diseases, leading to pain, swelling, and tenderness in the affected area. In some cases, periostitis may also lead to the formation of new bone tissue, resulting in bony outgrowths known as exostoses.
Relaxin is a hormone produced by the ovaries and, during pregnancy, also by the placenta and the fetal membranes. Its primary function is to relax the uterus and pelvic joints in preparation for childbirth, hence its name. It does this by softening the connective tissues and increasing their elasticity, which allows them to stretch more easily. Relaxin also plays a role in the cardiovascular system during pregnancy, helping to maintain healthy blood pressure levels.
Additionally, relaxin has been shown to have effects on other parts of the body, such as reducing muscle stiffness and joint pain, increasing flexibility, and potentially even playing a role in bone metabolism. However, more research is needed to fully understand all of its functions and potential therapeutic uses.
Ligaments are bands of dense, fibrous connective tissue that surround joints and provide support, stability, and limits the range of motion. They are made up primarily of collagen fibers arranged in a parallel pattern to withstand tension and stress. Ligaments attach bone to bone, and their function is to prevent excessive movement that could cause injury or dislocation.
There are two main types of ligaments: extracapsular and intracapsular. Extracapsular ligaments are located outside the joint capsule and provide stability to the joint by limiting its range of motion. Intracapsular ligaments, on the other hand, are found inside the joint capsule and help maintain the alignment of the joint surfaces.
Examples of common ligaments in the body include the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in the knee, the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) in the elbow, and the coracoacromial ligament in the shoulder.
Injuries to ligaments can occur due to sudden trauma or overuse, leading to sprains, strains, or tears. These injuries can cause pain, swelling, bruising, and limited mobility, and may require medical treatment such as immobilization, physical therapy, or surgery.
The sacrum is a triangular-shaped bone in the lower portion of the human vertebral column, located between the lumbar spine and the coccyx (tailbone). It forms through the fusion of several vertebrae during fetal development. The sacrum's base articulates with the fifth lumbar vertebra, while its apex connects with the coccyx.
The sacrum plays an essential role in supporting the spine and transmitting weight from the upper body to the pelvis and lower limbs. It also serves as an attachment site for various muscles and ligaments. The sacral region is often a focus in medical and chiropractic treatments due to its importance in spinal stability, posture, and overall health.
Bone plates are medical devices used in orthopedic surgery to stabilize and hold together fractured or broken bones during the healing process. They are typically made of surgical-grade stainless steel, titanium, or other biocompatible materials. The plate is shaped to fit the contour of the bone and is held in place with screws that are inserted through the plate and into the bone on either side of the fracture. This provides stability and alignment to the broken bones, allowing them to heal properly. Bone plates can be used to treat a variety of fractures, including those that are complex or unstable. After healing is complete, the bone plate may be left in place or removed, depending on the individual's needs and the surgeon's recommendation.
