Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE There are large differences in health care among countries. A higher perioperative mortality rate (POMR) in neonates than in older children and adults has been recognized worldwide. The aim of this study was to provide a systematic review of published 24-h and 30-day POMRs in neonates from 2011 to 2022 in countries with different Human Development Index (HDI) levels. DESIGN AND SETTING A systematic review with a meta-analysis of studies that reported 24-h and 30-day POMRs in neonates was performed. We searched the databases from January 2011 to July 30, 2022. MEASUREMENTS The POMRs (per 10,000 procedures under anesthesia) were analyzed according to country HDI. The HDI levels ranged from 0 to 1, representing the lowest and highest levels, respectively (very-high-HDI: ≥ 0.800, high-HDI: 0.700-0.799, medium-HDI: 0.550-0.699, and low-HDI: < 0.550). The magnitude of the POMRs by country HDI was studied using meta-analysis. MAIN RESULTS Eighteen studies from 45 countries were included. The 24-h (n = 96 deaths) and 30-day (n = 459 deaths) POMRs were analyzed from 33,729 anesthetic procedures. The odds ratios (ORs) of the 24-h POMR in low-HDI countries were higher than those in very-high- (OR 8.4, 95% CI 1.7-40.4; p = 0.008), high- (OR 7.3, 95% CI 2.2-24.4; p = 0.001) and medium-HDI countries (OR 7.7, 95% CI 3.1-18.7; p < 0.0001) but with no odds differences between very-high- and high-HDI countries (p = 0.879), very-high- and medium-HDI countries (p = 0.915) and high- and medium-HDI countries (p = 0.689). The odds of a 30-day POMR in low-HDI countries were higher than those in very-high-HDI countries (OR 6.9, 95% CI 1.9-24.6; p = 0.002) but not in high-HDI countries (OR 1.4, 95% CI 0.6-3.0; p = 0.396). CONCLUSIONS The review demonstrated very high global POMRs in a surgical population of neonates independent of the country HDI level. We identified differences in 24-h and 30-day POMRs between low-HDI countries and other countries with higher HDI levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neonates and infants have a higher perioperative risk of cardiac arrest and mortality than adults. The Human Development Index (HDI) ranges from 0 to 1, representing the lowest and highest levels of development, respectively. The relation between anaesthesia safety and country HDI has been described previously. We examined the relationship among the anaesthesia-related cardiac arrest rate (ARCAR), country HDI, and time in a mixed paediatric patient population. METHODS Electronic databases were searched up to July 2022 for studies reporting 24-h postoperative ARCARs in children. ARCARs (per 10,000 anaesthetic procedures) were analysed in low-HDI (HDI<0.8) vs high-HDI countries (HDI≥0.8) and over time (pre-2001 vs 2001-22). The magnitude of these associations was studied using systematic review methods with meta-regression analysis and meta-analysis. RESULTS We included 38 studies with 5,493,489 anaesthetic procedures and 1001 anaesthesia-related cardiac arrests. ARCARs were inversely correlated with country HDI (P<0.0001) but were not correlated with time (P=0.82). ARCARs did not change between the periods in either high-HDI or low-HDI countries (P=0.71 and P=0.62, respectively), but were higher in low-HDI countries than in high-HDI countries (9.6 vs 2.0; P<0.0001) in 2001-22. ARCARs were higher in children aged <1 yr than in those ≥1 yr in high-HDI (10.69 vs 1.48; odds ratio [OR] 8.03, 95% confidence interval [CI] 5.96-10.81; P<0.0001) and low-HDI countries (36.02 vs 2.86; OR 7.32, 95% CI 3.48-15.39; P<0.0001) in 2001-22. CONCLUSIONS The high and alarming anaesthesia-related cardiac arrest rates among children younger than 1 yr of age in high-HDI and low-HDI countries, respectively, reflect an ongoing challenge for anaesthesiologists.

Abstract
Intra-operative cardiac arrests differ from most in-hospital cardiac arrests because they reflect not only the patient's condition but also the quality of surgery and anaesthesia care provided. We assessed the relationship between intra-operative cardiac arrest rates and country Human Development Index (HDI), and the changes occurring in these rates over time. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, LILACS, Web of Science, CINAHL and SciELO from inception to 29 January 2020. For the global population, rates of intra-operative cardiac arrest and baseline ASA physical status were extracted. Intra-operative cardiac arrest rates were analysed by time, country HDI status and ASA physical status using meta-regression analysis. Proportional meta-analysis was performed to compare intra-operative cardiac arrest rates and ASA physical status in low- vs. high-HDI countries and in two time periods. Eighty-two studies from 25 countries with more than 29 million anaesthetic procedures were included. Intra-operative cardiac arrest rates were inversely correlated with country HDI (p = 0.0001); they decreased over time only in high-HDI countries (p = 0.040) and increased with increasing ASA physical status (p < 0.0001). Baseline ASA physical status did not change in high-HDI countries (p = 0.106), while it decreased over time in low-HDI countries (p = 0.040). In high-HDI countries, intra-operative cardiac arrest rates (per 10,000 anaesthetic procedures) decreased from 9.59 (95%CI 6.59-13.16) pre-1990 to 5.17 (95%CI 4.42-5.97) in 1990-2020 (p = 0.013). During the same time periods, no improvement was observed in the intra-operative cardiac arrest rates in low-HDI countries (p = 0.498). Odds ratios of intra-operative cardiac arrest rates in ASA 3-5 patients were 8.48 (95%CI 1.67-42.99) times higher in low-HDI countries than in high-HDI countries (p = 0.0098). Intra-operative cardiac arrest rates are related to country-HDI and decreased over time only in high-HDI countries. The widening gap in these rates between low- and high-HDI countries needs to be addressed globally.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Older patients have a higher probability of developing major complications during the perioperative period than other adult patients. Perioperative mortality depends on not only on a patient condition but also on the quality of perioperative care provided. We tested the hypothesis that the perioperative mortality rate among older patients has decreased over time and is related to a country's Human Development Index (HDI) status. DESIGN A systematic review with a meta-regression and meta-analysis of observational studies that reported perioperative mortality rates in patients aged ≥60 years was performed. We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, LILACS and SciELO databases from inception to December 30, 2019. SETTING Mortality rates up to the seventh postoperative day were evaluated. MEASUREMENTS We evaluated the quality of the included studies. Perioperative mortality rates were analysed by time, country HDI status and baseline American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status using meta-regression. Perioperative mortality and ASA status were analysed in low- and high-HDI countries during two time periods using proportion meta-analysis. MAIN RESULTS We included 25 studies, which reported 4,412,100 anaesthesia procedures and 3568 perioperative deaths from 12 countries. Perioperative mortality rates in high-HDI countries decreased over time (P = 0.042). When comparing pre-1990 to 1990-2019, in high-HDI countries, the perioperative mortality rates per 10,000 anaesthesia procedures decreased 7.8-fold from 100.85 (95% CI 43.36 to 181.72) in pre-1990 to 12.98 (95% CI 6.47 to 21.70) in 1990-2019 (P < 0.0001). There were no studies from low-HDI countries pre-1990. In the period from 1990 to 2019, perioperative mortality rates did not differ between low- and high-HDI countries (P = 0.395) but the limited number of patients in low-HDI countries impaired the result. Perioperative mortality rates increased with increasing ASA status (P < 0.0001). There were more ASA III-V patients in high-HDI countries than in low-HDI countries (P < 0.0001), and the perioperative mortality rate increased 24-fold in ASA III-V patients compared with ASA I-II patients (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION The perioperative mortality rates in older patients have declined over the past 60 years in high-DHI countries, highlighting that perioperative safety in this population is increasing in these countries. Since data prior to 1990 were lacking in low-HDI countries, the evolution of their mortality rates could not be analysed. The perioperative mortality rate was similar in low- and high-HDI countries in the post-1990 period, but the low number of patients in the low-HDI countries does not allow a definitive conclusion.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Studies have shown that both perioperative and anesthesia-related cardiac arrest (CA) and mortality rates are much higher in developing countries than in developed countries. This review aimed to compare the rates of perioperative and anesthesia-related CA and mortality during 2 time periods in Brazil. METHODS A systematic review with meta-analysis of full-text Brazilian observational studies was conducted by searching the Medline, EMBASE, LILACS and SciELO databases up to January 29, 2020. The primary outcomes were perioperative CA and mortality rates and the secondary outcomes included anesthesia-related CA and mortality events rates up to 48 postoperative hours. RESULTS Eleven studies including 719,273 anesthetic procedures, 962 perioperative CAs, 134 anesthesia-related CAs, 1,239 perioperative deaths and 29 anesthesia-related deaths were included. The event rates were evaluated in 2 time periods: pre-1990 and 1990-2020. Perioperative CA rates (per 10,000 anesthetics) decreased from 39.87 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 34.60-45.50) before 1990 to 17.61 (95% CI: 9.21-28.68) in 1990-2020 (P < 0.0001), while the perioperative mortality rate did not alter (from 19.25 [95% CI: 15.64-23.24] pre-1990 to 25.40 [95% CI: 13.01-41.86] in 1990-2020; P = 0.1984). Simultaneously, the anesthesia-related CA rate decreased from 14.39 (95% CI: 11.29-17.86) to 3.90 (95% CI: 2.93-5.01; P < 0.0001), while there was no significant difference in the anesthesia-related mortality rate (from 1.75 [95% CI: 0.76-3.11] to 0.67 [95% CI: 0.09-1.66; P = 0.5404). CONCLUSIONS This review demonstrates an important reduction in the perioperative CA rate over time in Brazil, with a large and consistent decrease in the anesthesia-related CA rate; however, there were no significant differences in perioperative and anesthesia-related mortality rates between the assessed time periods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pelvic floor muscles (PFM) and rectus abdominis muscles (RAM) of pregnant diabetic rats exhibit atrophy, co-localization of fast and slow fibers and an increased collagen type I/III ratio. However, the role of similar PFM or RAM hyperglycemic-related myopathy in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) remains poorly investigated. This study aims to assess the frequency of pelvic floor muscle disorders and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence (PS-UI) 12 months after the Cesarean (C) section in women with GDM. Specifically, differences in PFM/RAM hyperglycemic myopathy will be evaluated. METHODS The Diamater is an ongoing cohort study of four groups of 59 pregnant women each from the Perinatal Diabetes Research Centre (PDRC), Botucatu Medical School (FMB)-UNESP (São Paulo State University), Brazil. Diagnosis of GDM and PS-UI will be made at 24-26 weeks, with a follow-up at 34-38 weeks of gestation. Inclusion in the study will occur at the time of C-section, and patients will be followed at 24-48 h, 6 weeks and 6 and 12 months postpartum. Study groups will be classified as (1) GDM plus PS-UI; (2) GDM without PS-UI; (3) Non-GDM plus PS-UI; and (4) Non-GDM without PS-UI. We will analyze relationships between GDM, PS-UI and hyperglycemic myopathy at 12 months after C-section. The mediator variables to be evaluated include digital palpation, vaginal squeeze pressure, 3D pelvic floor ultrasound, and 3D RAM ultrasound. RAM samples obtained during C-section will be analyzed for ex-vivo contractility, morphological, molecular and OMICS profiles to further characterize the hyperglycemic myopathy. Additional variables to be evaluated include maternal age, socioeconomic status, educational level, ethnicity, body mass index, weight gain during pregnancy, quality of glycemic control and insulin therapy. DISCUSSION To our knowledge, this will be the first study to provide data on the prevalence of PS-UI and RAM and PFM physical and biomolecular muscle profiles after C-section in mothers with GDM. The longitudinal design allows for the assessment of cause-effect relationships between GDM, PS-UI, and PFMs and RAMs myopathy. The findings may reveal previously undetermined consequences of GDM.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The impact of excess body fat on bone remodeling was evaluated in overweight, obese, and extremely obese adolescents. In adolescents with excess weight, it was observed that the higher the bone mineral content and bone mineral density values, the lower the levels of the biomarkers. Nutritional imbalances by excess had a negative effect on bone formation in this stage of life. INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of excess body fat on bone remodeling in adolescents. METHODS Body weight, height, and body mass index were determined in 391 adolescents classified as normal weight, overweight, obese, and extremely obese. Bone age was obtained and bone mineral content and bone mineral density were evaluated in the lumbar spine, proximal femur, and total and subtotal body. Blood samples were collected for evaluation of the following bone biomarkers: osteocalcin, bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), and serum carboxy-terminal telopeptide (S-CTx). The data were analyzed according to nutritional status and age. RESULTS In girls with excess weight, the biomarkers were higher in the 10 to 13-year age group and no significant differences were observed between groups according to nutritional status. In boys, the levels were higher in those aged 13 to 15 years. According to nutritional status, significant differences were only observed in mean S-CTx for the age groups of 10-15 years, with higher levels between overweight and obese adolescents aged 10-12 years and between obese and extremely obese adolescents aged 13-15 years. In girls, significant negative correlations were observed between lean mass, fat mass, and fat percentage and each of the three bone markers studied. There was no correlation between lean mass or fat mass and the three biomarkers in boys. The biomarker trends demonstrated across the age groups follow the age trends for growth velocity. CONCLUSIONS The higher the fat percentage and fat mass in girls, the lower the levels of the biomarkers, indicating that excess body fat has a negative effect on the evolution of these markers during adolescence.

Abstract
Objective The objective of this study was to assess Modified Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) and European Consensus Lupus Activity Measurement (ECLAM) disease activity correlation in addition to their respective correlation to Pediatric Systemic Lupus International Collaborative Clinics/American College of Rheumatology (SLICC/ACR) Damage Index (Ped-SDI), in juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE). Methods The activity indices were scored retrospectively and summarized by adjusted means during follow-up. The Ped-SDI was scored during the last visit for those with more than six months follow-up. Pearson correlation between the Modified SLEDAI-2K and ECLAM, as well as Spearman correlations between the Modified SLEDAI-2K, ECLAM, and Ped-SDI were calculated. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was calculated for both activity indices discriminating damage measured by Ped-SDI. Results Thirty-seven patients with mean age at diagnosis 11 ± 2.9 years and mean follow-up time 3.2 ± 2.4 years were studied. The Modified SLEDAI-2K and ECLAM adjusted means were highly correlated ( r = 0.78, p < 0.001). Similarly, Spearman correlation between the activity indices was also high ( rs > 0.7, p < 0.001), but Modified SLEDAI-2K and ECLAM correlation with Ped-SDI was only moderate. ROC analysis discriminant performance for both activity indices resulted in area under curve (AUC) of 0.74 and 0.73 for Modified SLEDAI-2K and ECLAM, respectively. Conclusion The high correlation found between the Modified SLEDAI-2K and ECLAM adjusted means indicated that both tools can be equally useful for longitudinal estimates of JSLE activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this article is to assess disease activity patterns and their relationship to damage, death and growth failure in a cohort of juvenile lupus. METHODS Chronic active, relapsing-remitting and long quiescent activity patterns were retrospectively classified according to longitudinal scores of both the Modified SLEDAI-2K and ECLAM. The Pediatric SLICC/ACR Damage Index (Ped-SDI) was scored at the last visit in patients followed more than six months. Survival analysis was performed considering death, damage and growth failure, and stratified according to disease activity patterns. Cox model analysis identified predictors for damage and growth failure among onset clinical variables. RESULTS Thirty-seven patients with 11 years mean age at diagnosis and 3.2 years mean follow-up were studied. According to the Modified SLEDAI-2K, activity pattern was 67.5% relapsing-remitting, 29.8% chronic active and 2.7% long quiescent and by ECLAM, 45.9%, 48.7% and 5.4%, respectively. The five-year survival was 90%. Damage accrued in 62.5% and growth failure in 31.3%. Chronic active cases progressed to damage earlier than relapsing-remitting (log-rank test, p < 0.05). Damage was associated with disease duration (p < 0.0001), thrombocytopenia (p < 0.05) and alopecia (p < 0.004). Growth failure was associated with disease duration (p < 0.007) and renal failure (p < 0.007). CONCLUSION Damage was observed in nearly two-thirds of patients, and occurred earlier in the chronic active pattern. Disease duration, thrombocytopenia and alopecia at onset predicted damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Inadequate iodine intake is still a problem in various regions of the world, and limited data exist regarding the ingestion of iodine in elderly people. We investigated the prevalence of iodine intake inadequacy in a group of elderly women living in a region of Brazil considered to be iodine-sufficient. DESIGN AND SETTING Cross-sectional study conducted in the public healthcare system of Bauru, São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS We evaluated 135 elderly women (average age of 68.2 years) who participated in a program of assistance to the elderly with respect to iodine intake through two 24-hour recalls using a nutritional computer program. The women were also evaluated with respect to serum levels of free thyroxin (FT4) and thyrotropin (TSH) and were classified as euthyroid, hypothyroid or hyperthyroid. RESULTS The average iodine intake of the group was 100.7 ± 39.2 μg. Twenty-nine patients (21.5%) presented thyroid dysfunction: 27 (20%) had hypothyroidism, and two (1.5%) had hyperthyroidism. The average iodine intake of the patients with hypothyroidism and euthyroidism was 92.7 μg and 101.7 μg, respectively. The prevalence of iodine intake inadequacy, considering the co-variables of age, race, income, body mass index, TSH, FT4 and arterial hypertension, was 51%, 48% and 66% in the general, euthyroid and hypothyroid patients, respectively. CONCLUSION We concluded that high prevalence of iodine intake inadequacy was present in this group of elderly women living in a region of Brazil considered to be iodine-sufficient.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Steroid joint injection is indicated as starting treatment for juvenile idiopathic arthritis, but its effect as single treatment has not been explored. Our aim was to estimate arthritis remission probability after single or repeated injections. METHODS Conduct a retrospective analysis of inactive arthritis status, remission on medication and remission off medication, estimating cumulative probability and mean time to survival, from the first joint injection session to the last follow-up visit or disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs initiation. Remission and time to achieve remission status after single or repeated injections were compared. RESULTS Seventy-seven patients with 4-year medium follow-up and 254 treated joints, were reviewed. Eighty-three percent of the individuals had oligoarticular subtype and 57% had persistent oligoarticular course. Overall, 26% achieved remission off medication status, 4% remission on medication and 38% initiated disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. Survival analysis resulted in mean time of achieving inactive disease status, remission on medication and off medication of 8, 11 and 56 months, respectively. The cumulative probability of remission off medication was 2% at 12 months, 8% at 24 months and 18% at 36 months. Frequency of inactive disease, remission on medication and remission off medication status decreased proportionally following repeated joint injections in comparison with the frequency of the same status for those receiving single treatment. CONCLUSIONS The dropout rates due to anti-rheumatic drugs initiation indicated limited long-term benefits of intra-articular steroids for juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

Abstract
In this study we investigated the population dynamics of Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann) with laboratory experiments, employing survival analysis and stage structure mathematical models, emphasizing survival among life stages. The study also assessed the theoretical influence of density dependence and cannibalism during immature stages, on the population dynamics of the species. The survival curves were similar, indicating that populations of C. albiceps exhibit the same pattern of survival among life stages. A strong nonlinear trend was observed, suggesting density dependence, acting during the first life stages of C. albiceps. The time-series simulations produced chaotic oscillations for all life stages, and the cannibalism did not produce qualitative changes in the dynamic behavior. The bifurcation analysis shows that for low values for survival, the population reaches a stable equilibrium, but the cannibalism results in chaotic oscillations practically over all the parametric space. The implications of the patterns of dynamic behavior observed are discussed.

Abstract
AIM We aim was to compare the sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) with waist circumference (WC) as a predictor of central obesity among adults and to identify the sensitivity and specificity of the best cut-off point for SAD. METHODS A cross-sectional study of 266 Brazilians adults (euthrophic and overweight), aged 31-84 years old, of which 89 men and 177 women, was carried out. Anthropometric measurements such as SAD, weight, height, waist and hip circumferences, waist and hip ratio, body mass index, body fat percentage were performed. Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve was used to identify the sensitivity and specificity of the best cut off point for SAD as a predictor of central obesity. Statistical analysis were considered significant with a value of p < 0.05. RESULTS The SAD measurement was positively correlated with WC for both genders, although stronger among overweight and obesity women (r = 0.71; p < 0.001 and r = 0.79; p < 0.001, respectively) than men. ROC curves identified the best cut-off points for SAD of 23.1 cm and 20.1 cm for men and women (96% and 85% sensitivity, 86% and 84% specificity, respectively). CONCLUSION SAD measurement may be used as an anthropometric tool to identify central obesity among women for presenting adequate sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe onset features, classification and treatment of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) and juvenile polymyositis (JPM) from a multicentre registry. METHODS Inclusion criteria were onset age lower than 18 years and a diagnosis of any idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) by attending physician. Bohan & Peter (1975) criteria categorisation was established by a scoring algorithm to define JDM and JPM based on clinical protocol data. RESULTS Of the 189 cases included, 178 were classified as JDM, 9 as JPM (19.8: 1) and 2 did not fit the criteria; 6.9% had features of chronic arthritis and connective tissue disease overlap. Diagnosis classification agreement occurred in 66.1%. Median onset age was 7 years, median follow-up duration was 3.6 years. Malignancy was described in 2 (1.1%) cases. Muscle weakness occurred in 95.8%; heliotrope rash 83.5%; Gottron plaques 83.1%; 92% had at least one abnormal muscle enzyme result. Muscle biopsy performed in 74.6% was abnormal in 91.5% and electromyogram performed in 39.2% resulted abnormal in 93.2%. Logistic regression analysis was done in 66 cases with all parameters assessed and only aldolase resulted significant, as independent variable for definite JDM (OR=5.4, 95%CI 1.2-24.4, p=0.03). Regarding treatment, 97.9% received steroids; 72% had in addition at least one: methotrexate (75.7%), hydroxychloroquine (64.7%), cyclosporine A (20.6%), IV immunoglobulin (20.6%), azathioprine (10.3%) or cyclophosphamide (9.6%). In this series 24.3% developed calcinosis and mortality rate was 4.2%. CONCLUSION Evaluation of predefined criteria set for a valid diagnosis indicated aldolase as the most important parameter associated with definite JDM category. In practice, prednisone-methotrexate combination was the most indicated treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION One important aggression to human biology is constituted by metallic mercury intoxication, mainly expressed by neuropsychiatric disorders. OBJECTIVE To explore interaction between the domains of Quality of Life (QoL.) and neuro-muscular evidences in intoxicated people by the metal within an urban-industrial environment. MATERIAL AND METHODS 47 patients have been assessed, through SF36 application and semiological tests. Multiple regression was performed and, to test parameters estimated in adjustments, Student t test was used. RESULTS Although there are low scores present in the instrument, there have been noticed good results in physical capacities. Muscular strength seems to be an influencing variable on physical and social functioning and mental health (p<0.05). Motor coordination influence on Vitality (p <0.05) was also remarked. As to equilibrium, it presents a negative interaction (p <0.03) with social functioning. CONCLUSIONS Neuropsychiatric disorders influence negatively QoL perception, making people to subestime their motor performances. Complementarily, it is distinguished strength as physical capacity that presents positive interaction with the subjective perception of QV.

Abstract
The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is the most sensitive method used to evaluate gene expression. Although many advances have been made since quantitative RT-PCR was first described, few reports deal with the mathematical bases of this technique. The aim of the present study was to develop and standardize a competitive PCR method using standard-curves to quantify transcripts of the myogenic regulatory factors MyoD, Myf-5, Myogenin and MRF4 in chicken embryos. Competitor cDNA molecules were constructed for each gene under study using deletion primers, which were designed to maintain the anchorage sites for the primers used to amplify target cDNAs. Standard-curves were prepared by co-amplification of different amounts of target cDNA with a constant amount of competitor. The content of specific mRNAs in embryo cDNAs was determined after PCR with a known amount of competitor and comparison to standard-curves. Transcripts of the housekeeping -actin gene were measured to normalize the results. As predicted by the model, most of the standard-curves showed a slope close to 1, while intercepts varied depending on the relative efficiency of competitor amplification. The sensitivity of the RT-PCR method permitted the detection of as few as 60 MyoD/Myf-5 molecules per reaction but approximately 600 molecules of MRF4/Myogenin mRNAS were necessary to produce a measurable signal. A coefficient of variation of 6 to 19% was estimated for the different genes analyzed (6 to 9 repetitions). The competitive RT-PCR assay described here is sensitive, precise and allows quantification of up to 9 transcripts from a single cDNA sample.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the biochemical markers of bone turnover in children with juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA) and to compare these parameters with those in healthy children in order to evaluate the relationships between age, disease activity and biochemical variables. METHODS Sixty-two children with JCA and 157 healthy children were studied. Serum samples were analyzed for their concentrations of minerals, osteocalcin (OC) and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP). Urine samples were examined to monitor the excretion of hydroxyproline (HYP) and deoxypyridinoline crosslinks (DPD). RESULTS OC, BAP, HYP/Cr, DPD/Cr values were decreased in healthy girls more than 12 years of age and in healthy boys more than 14 years of age compared to younger children from the same population. Lower levels of OC and BAP were observed in younger children with JCA (girls < or = 12 yrs.; boys < or = 14 yrs.) compared to healthy children of the same age. Older girls with JCA (> or = 13 yrs.) were found to have increased HYP/Cr and DPD/Cr values compared to older healthy children. CONCLUSION These results indicate that abnormalities of bone metabolism occur in an age-related fashion in JCA. This was demonstrated by a reduction in the markers of bone formation in younger JCA patients. Moreover, in older girls the markers of bone resorption were found to be elevated. Taken together, these findings suggest that bone formation is reduced from early childhood to mid-puberty, while resorption levels increase in children with JCA after this time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the relationship between bone mineral loss and disease subtype, disease duration and corticosteroid use in children with juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA). METHODS Bone mineral density (BMD) was evaluated by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), using a Hologic QDR 1000 densitometer. Sixty-two children with JCA and 157 healthy children, aged 5-18 years, were studied. Bone mass was measured in the lumbar spine at the L1-L4 level (LS), in the femoral neck (FN) and in the distal one-tenth radius (DR). RESULTS A decrease in bone mineral density was observed in 50-60% of the JCA patients in the three regions studied. Those patients who had undergone corticosteroid treatment showed significant bone loss in the DR and LS (trabecular bone), but not in the FN (cortical bone). Bone mass loss was seen for all three disease subtypes, being higher in the patients with polyarticular JCA (particularly in the DR), although this different was not significant. There was a significant difference in disease duration between the children with decreased BMD and those with no BMD decrease in the same regions. CONCLUSION A decrease in bone mineral density was found in 50-60% of all the JCA patients in this series, regardless of the disease subtype. Corticosteroid use apparently had an effect on the BMD in the trabecular bone. The data also show a correlation between the loss of BMD in both cortical and trabecular bone and a long disease duration.
