It has been suggested that copper ion is involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases. The aim of this study is to examine the association of serum copper levels and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. We recruited a total of 132 patients with type 2 diabetes, and measured their serum copper levels by atomic absorption spectrometry. Serum copper levels were positively correla...

High steroid doses are often necessary in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) to suppress androgens and may increase blood pressure (BP). We evaluated 24-hour BP profile (ambBP), BP during exercise (excBP), and echocardiography in 20 young CAH patients. Systolic and diastolic BP during ambBP and excBP was normal in all patients. None presented myocardial hypertrophy. Nocturnal diastolic BP was...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the incidence, frequency, and contributing factors of microembolic signals (MESs) in patients with cryptogenic stroke with or without patent foramen ovale (PFO). METHODS Transcranial Doppler monitoring for MESs detection was performed for 62 patients with acute cryptogenic stroke with PFO (PFO(+)) and 34 patients with acute cryptogenic stroke without PFO (PFO(-)). RES...

Details are given of the v ( S O ) ~ ~ ~ ~ stretching (dmso = dimethyl sulphoxide), v,(SO,), v,(SO,), and v,(SO,) regions of the Raman spectra of SO,-dmso mixtures at 293 K and sub-ambient temperatures. Analysis of the v( SO)dmso region, which contains at least seven component bands, provides evidence of several component species. Bands at 1 067,l 057, and 1 044 cm-l are due to monomers and ass...
