Dermatomyositis: ultrastructure of abnormal mitochondria in the skeletal muscle.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mitochondrial anomalies observed in the skeletal muscle of a patient with dermatomyositis included paracrystalline inclusions, dense bodies and stacks of lamellae. Virions were not found. These anomalies are similar to those noted in other myopathies.

متن کاملAntioxidant SkQ1 delays sarcopenia-associated damage of mitochondrial ultrastructure
A comparative electron-microscopic study of ultrastructure of mitochondria in skeletal muscles of the 3- and 24-month-old Wistar and OXYS rats revealed age-dependent changes in both general organization of the mitochondrial reticulum and ultrastructure of mitochondria. The most pronounced ultrastructure changes were detected in the OXYS rats suffering from permanent oxidative stress. In the OXY...
متن کاملThe Spectrum of Mitochondrial Ultrastructural Defects in Mitochondrial Myopathy
Mitochondrial functions are intrinsically linked to their morphology and membrane ultrastructure. Characterizing abnormal mitochondrial structural features may thus provide insight into the underlying pathogenesis of inherited and acquired mitochondrial diseases. Following a systematic literature review on ultrastructural defects in mitochondrial myopathy, we investigated skeletal muscle biopsi...
متن کاملBreast Cancer Associated with Dermatomyositis
Dermatomyositis (DM) is a rare idiopathic inflammatory myopathy with characteristic skin lesions. Case series have shown an association between dermatomyositis and malignancy. Malignancy has been found in 15-25% of the adult patients with dermatomyositis. A 50-year-old new case of breast cancer, was admitted with muscle weakness and inability to walk. Physical examination revealed fever, perior...

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of a 12 weeks interval training with high and moderate intensity on PGC-1α of skeletal muscle in type 2 diabetic male rats. Methods: 40 male rats were divided into two groups: High fat diet (HFD) (n=32) and standard diet (C) (n=8) for 10 weeks. After inducing type2 diabetes via STZ, 8 diabetic rats (D) and 8 rats in group C rats ...
