Leg muscle atrophy in idiopathic congenital clubfoot: is it primitive or acquired?
PURPOSE To investigate whether atrophy of the leg muscles present in congenital clubfoot (CCF) is primitive or secondary to treatment of the deformity. METHODS Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of both legs was taken in three cohorts of patients with unilateral congenital clubfoot (UCCF): eight untreated newborns (age range 10 days to 2 weeks); eight children who had been treated with the Pons...
متن کاملNeurogenic muscle atrophy in myasthenia gravis.
Two cases of severe myasthenia gravis are described, with histological findings. Both cases showed severe neurogenic atrophy of the muscles of the tongue, with fatty pseudohypertrophy and a remarkable proliferation of terminal nerve fibres. Similar, but less severe, changes were present in other bulbar muscles. The findings are in keeping with the view that functional interruption at the neurom...
متن کاملFHL1 activates myostatin signalling in skeletal muscle and promotes atrophy
Myostatin is a TGFβ family ligand that reduces muscle mass. In cancer cells, TGFβ signalling is increased by the protein FHL1. Consequently, FHL1 may promote signalling by myostatin. We therefore tested the ability of FHL1 to regulate myostatin function. FHL1 increased the myostatin activity on a SMAD reporter and increased myostatin dependent myotube wasting. In mice, independent expression of...
متن کاملMyostatin expression in age and denervation-induced skeletal muscle atrophy.
Myostatin is hypothesized to regulate skeletal muscle mass and to be a potential target for therapeutic intervention in sarcopenia. To clarify whether myostatin is invariably associated with sarcopenia, this study examined the levels of expression of myostatin mRNA and protein in Sprague Dawley rats during aging- and denervation-induced sarcopenia. The level of myostatin mRNA in the gastrocnemi...
متن کاملCongenital contractural arachnodactyly with neurogenic muscular atrophy: case report.
We report the case of a 3-(1/2)-year-old girl with hypotonia, multiple joint contractures, hip luxation, arachnodactyly, adducted thumbs, dolichostenomelia, and abnormal external ears suggesting the diagnosis of congenital contractural arachnodactyly (CCA). The serum muscle enzymes were normal and the needle electromyography showed active and chronic denervation. The muscle biopsy demonstrated ...
