MR morphometry of posterior tibialis muscle in adult acquired flat foot

We conducted magnetic resonance imaging of the posterior tibial (PT) and flexor digitorum longus (FDL) muscle bellies in 12 patients undergoing surgical treatment for unilateral posterior tibial tendon (PTT) dysfunction. All patients had atrophy of the PT muscle compared to the normal leg (mean 10.7%, p=0.008). In those patients with a complete rupture of PTT there was replacement of the PT muscle by fatty infiltration. Conversely, the FDL muscle showed a compensatory hypertrophy (mean 17.2%, p

Therapeutic activation of V alpha 24(+)V beta 11(+) NKT cells in human subjects results in highly coordinated secondary activation of acquired and innate immunity

Human Valpha24(+)Vbeta11(+) natural killer T (NKT) cells are a distinct CD1d-restricted lymphoid subset specifically and potently activated by alpha-galactosylceramide (alpha-GalCer) (KRN7000) presented by CD1 d on antigen-presenting cells. Preclinical models show that activation of Valpha24(+)Vbeta11(+) NKT cells induces effective antitumor immune responses and potentially important secondary immune effects, including activation of conventional T cells and NK cells. We describe the first clinical trial of cancer immune therapy with alpha-GalCer-pulsed CD1d-expressing dendritic cells. The results show that this therapy has substantial, rapid, and highly reproducible specific effects on Valpha24(+)Vbeta11(+) NKT cells and provide the first human in vivo evidence that Valpha24(+)Vbeta11(+) NKT cell stimulation leads to activation of both innate and acquired immunity, resulting in modulation of NK, T-, and B-cell numbers and increased serum interferon-gamma. We present the first clinical evidence that Valpha24(+)Vbeta11(+) NKT cell memory produces faster, more vigorous secondary immune responses by innate and acquired immunity upon restimulation.

Physical activity cost in children following an acquired brain injury - a comparative study

Background: Alterations in energy expenditure during activity post head injury has not been investigated due primarily to the difficulty of measurement. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare energy expenditure during activity and body composition of children following acquired brain injury (ABI) with data from a group of normal. controls. Design: Energy expenditure was measured using the Cosmed K4b(2) in a group of 15 children with ABI and a group of 67 normal children during rest and when walking and running. Mean number of steps taken per 3 min run was also recorded and body composition was measured. Results: The energy expended during walking was not significantly different between both groups. A significant difference was found between the two groups in the energy expended during running and also for the number of steps taken as children with ABI took significantly less steps than the normal controls during a 3 min run. Conclusions: Children with ABI exert more energy per activity than healthy controls when controlled for velocity or distance. However, they expend less energy to walk and run when they are free to choose their own desirable, comfortable pace than normal controls. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
