Disease relevance of Densitometry

 

Psychiatry related information on Densitometry

 

High impact information on Densitometry

  • Technetium bone scans and bone densitometry determinations proved insensitive for detection of skeletal changes [8].
  • Thyroid functions in patients receiving long-term levothyroxine treatment should be closely monitored and bone densitometry should be performed in patients at risk for osteoporosis [9].
  • When a novel inhibitor of the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor (SDZ GPI 562) was administered immediately before MCA occlusion, platelet accumulation was reduced 48%, and fibrin accumulation was reduced by 47% by immunoblot densitometry [10].
  • Immunoblotting and densitometry revealed a decrease in AQP2 levels to 27+/-3.4% of control levels (n=11, P<0.001) in inner medulla, and 34+/-15% of controls (n=5, P<0.05) in cortex [11].
  • Using a 1.3-kb rat cardiac DHP receptor probe, and Northern analysis quantified by laser densitometry, we found that norepinephrine exposure produced a 2.2-fold increase in DHP receptor mRNA levels at 2 h followed by a decline to 50% of control at 4-48 h (P < 0.02) [12].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Densitometry

  • Her evaluation revealed central diabetes insipidus, hypothalamic amenorrhea, an elevated free calcium on multiple occasions with an elevated 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D level, and osteoporosis by densitometry [13].
  • METHODS: Whole body bone densitometry, estradiol (E2) levels, and biochemical bone markers (calcium, phosphorus, total alkaline phosphatase, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, and total proteins) were determined in 28 patients with endometriosis and compared with findings in 33 controls [14].
  • The amount of vasogenic edema produced was assessed by quantitation of the extravasation of Evans blue dye into the area of maximum blood-brain barrier breakdown by means of optical densitometry following formamide extraction [15].
  • The hybridized Dig-labeled probes are detected with an anti-Dig antibody conjugated to detector molecules for luminometry (aequorin) or optical densitometry (peroxidase), yielding results that are quantifiable over the range of 100-10,000 copies of HIV gag [16].
  • The efficiency of PPU was calculated from the increased leucine oxidation observed during feeding, and the apparent protein requirement was defined as metabolic demand/PPU and calculated in relation to both body weight (BW) and fat-free mass (FFM) determined by densitometry or bioimpedance [17].
 

Biological context of Densitometry

 

Anatomical context of Densitometry

  • The relative amounts of actin, tubulin, and neurofilament polypeptides in the operated ventral roots were measured by quantitative densitometry of stained two-dimensional electrophoretic gels [23].
  • Five of the six patients had NF1 gene deletions on the basis of quantitative densitometry, locus hemizygosity, and analysis of somatic cell hybrid lines [24].
  • Quantitation of the immunoreactive bands by video densitometry indicated that normal human neutrophils contain 1.5 +/- 0.8 ng DBP/10(6) cells (n = 9) [25].
  • Using quantitative densitometry of cDNA-hybridized RNA blots from cells isolated from crypts, villus middle (mid), or villus tip (tip), we found a 2- to 3-fold increase in villin, calmodulin and tropomyosin steady-state mRNA levels; an increase parallel to morphological brush border development [26].
  • Cooperative effects in the interaction between melittin and phosphatidylcholine model membranes. Studies by temperature scanning densitometry [27].
 

Associations of Densitometry with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Densitometry

  • Using both densitometry and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, we found that relative WT:MU IKBKAP RNA levels were highest in cultured patient lymphoblasts and lowest in postmortem central and peripheral nervous tissues [33].
  • In conclusion, PTH exerts an anabolic action at the tissue and cellular levels in intact mice and the magnitude and temporal pattern of this anabolic action, as assessed by densitometry and histomorphometry, are skeletal site specific [34].
  • These structural and functional changes were associated with significant decreases in renal nuclear SREBP-1 (5.2 in 24 m AL versus 3.3 densitometry units in 24 m CR; P < 0.01) and SREBP-2 (7.1 in 24 m AL versus 4.1 densitometry units in 24 m CR; P < 0.01) protein abundance and renal triglyceride and cholesterol contents [35].
  • Latent MMP-1, -2, -3, and -9 were detected by zymography and quantitated by densitometry, and production of all enzymes was increased on withdrawal of P [36].
  • Then, hybridization with 32P-labeled pE7 (a cDNA of EGFR), autoradiography, and densitometry were performed [37].
