Contributions à l’exploration fonctionnelle respiratoire de l’enfant : mesure de la force des muscles respiratoires et étude de la perception d’une charge respiratoire par les potentiels évoqués respiratoires

Nicot, Frédéric 10 September 2010 (has links)
Certains enfants souffrant de maladies bronchopulmonaires et de maladies neuromusculaires présentent lors de l'évaluation de la force des muscles respiratoires des valeurs anormales et évaluent mal leur état dyspnéique. Le peu de gène respiratoire ressenti par ces patients permet d'émettre l'hypothèse qu'une anomalie de l'intégration corticale des afférences somesthésiques d'origines respiratoires serait responsable. Une nouvelle technique d'exploration neurophysiologique, les potentiels évoqués respiratoires (PER) provoqués par l'occlusion des voies aériennes permet d'investiguer cette voie.Des manoeuvres volitionnelles d'évaluation de la force des muscles respiratoires (Sniffs et SNIP) et non volitionnels (stimulation magnétique) ainsi que les PER ont été enregistrés chez des enfants sains et atteints de pathologies respiratoires et neuromusculaires.Les valeurs de force des muscles respiratoires enregistrées dans les différents groupes étaient semblables. Les composantes des PER enregistrées au sommet de la pariétale ascendante (C3-Cz ; C4-Cz) ont toutes été retrouvées chez les enfants sains et les enfants malades. Seules N1 et P2 ont été plus souvent recueillies chez les patients atteints de maladies neuromusculaires que chez les enfants souffrant de pathologies bronchopulmonaires (p < 0,005).Ces études ont montré que la force des muscles respiratoires peut être évaluée par différentes manœuvres chez les enfants atteints de maladies pulmonaires chroniques et de maladies neuromusculaires et que ces enfants présentent des altérations des PER. / Some children with chronic lung and neuromuscular diseases showed abnormal values of respiratory muscle strength and misjudge their dyspneic state. These breathing difficulties allow us to hypothesize an abnormal integration of cortical somatosensory afferents. A new neurophysiological approach, Respiratory Related Evoked Potentials (RREPs) caused by upper airways occlusion allows to investigate this pathway.Volitional manoeuvres assessment of the strength of respiratory muscles (Sniff and SNIP) and non-volitional (Magnetic stimulation) and RREPs were recorded in healthy and children suffering from respiratory and neuromuscular diseases.Respiratory muscle strength values recorded in different groups by these techniques were similar. The components of RREPs recorded at C3-Cz and C4-Cz have all been found in healthy children and patients. Only N1 and P2 were more often collected from patients with neuromuscular diseases than in children with lung disease (p <0.005).These studies have shown that muscle strength breathing can be assessed by different manoeuvres in children with chronic lung diseases, neuromuscular diseases and thatChildren show alterations of RREPs.

Avaliação da função pulmonar, força e endurance muscular respiratória, resistência do sistema respiratório e capacidade funcional de pacientes com obesidade grau III e correlação com a percepção de dispneia e qualidade de vida / Evaluation of pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength and endurance, respiratory system resistance and functional capacity of grade III obesity patients and correlation with the dyspnea perception and quality of life

Nascimento, Larissa Perossi 26 April 2017 (has links)
Introdução: A obesidade grau III está relacionada com o alto risco de desenvolvimento de comorbidades que afetam a qualidade de vida. Nesses indivíduos, alterações do sistema respiratório podem ocorrer pela diminuição da complacência pulmonar e/ou obstrução das vias aéreas, que podem refletir na capacidade funcional. Apesar disso, a literatura é controversa quanto ao comportamento do sistema respiratório em sujeitos com obesidade grau III. Objetivo: Avaliar a função pulmonar, força e endurance muscular respiratória, resistência do sistema respiratório e capacidade funcional de mulheres com obesidade grau III e correlacionar com a percepção de dispneia e qualidade de vida. Métodos: As pacientes foram avaliadas pela espirometria, manovacuometria, teste de endurance dos músculos inspiratórios, oscilometria de impulso e teste de caminhada de seis minutos (TC6). Também foram aplicados o Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ), o Questionário Short Form 36 (SF-36) e a escala modificada do Medical Research Council (mMRC). Resultados: Foram avaliadas 40 mulheres com 36,4±7,6 anos e IMC igual 47,0±6,2 kg/m2. Não foram detectados distúrbios ventilatórios pela espirometria (%CVF: 95,13±13,38; %VEF1: 92,37±14,81; %VEF1/CVF: 97,21±7,25; %FEF25-75%: 86,26±27,00) enquanto que a oscilometria de impulso identificou alterações significantes na resistência das vias aéreas (kPa/L/s) em relação ao previsto (R5: 0,56±0,15 e 0,36±0,01; R20: 0,41±0,08 e 0,30±0,01; R5-20: 0,16±0,09 e 0,06±0,00; X5: -0,24±0,10 e -0,03±0,02). A média dos valores obtidos da PImáx e PEmáx (cmH2O) foi de -114,7±24,3 e 132,0±30,1; respectivamente e, o tempo de endurance dos músculos inspiratórios foi inferior ao esperado para 47% das voluntárias. A distância percorrida no TC6 não apresentou diferença significativa em relação aos valores previstos. As participantes não tiveram queixa de dispneia importante e referiram bom estado geral de saúde no SF-36. Não foram observadas correlações fortes entre a percepção de dispneia e a qualidade de vida com os resultados dos testes da avaliação. Conclusão: Os resultados do IOS sugerem obstrução das vias aéreas centrais e periféricas, que não foram detectadas pela espirometria. As pacientes relataram boa percepção da qualidade de vida e baixa sensação de dispneia, com bom desempenho no TC6 e sem fraqueza dos músculos respiratórios, porém com limitação do tempo de endurance dos músculos inspiratórios. / Introduction: Grade III obesity is related to risk of developing comorbidities that can influence the quality of life. In this population, respiratory dysfunctions can occur by the pulmonary complacency decrease and/or airways obstruction that can affect the functional lung capacity. Despite this, there are disagreements in the literature about the respiratory system behavior in severely obese subjects. Objective: To evaluate respiratory muscle strength, inspiratory muscle endurance, respiratory system resistance and, functional capacity and to correlate these parameters with dyspnea and quality of life perceptions. Methods: The participants were evaluated by spirometry, manovacuometry, inspiratory muscle endurance test, impulse oscillometry (IOS) and the six minute walk test (6MWT). They also answered the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Quality of Life Questionnaire (SF-36) and the modified Medical Research Council scale (mMRC). Results: We evaluated 40 women with mean age of 36.3±7.9 years and body mass index of 47.1±6.3 kg/m2. The spirometry exam did not detect pulmonary function dysfunctions (%FEV1: 92.4±14.8; %FVC: 95.3±13.4; %FEV1/FVC: 97.2±7.3 and %FEF25-75%: 86.3±27.0). The IOS detected alterations in the airways resistance in comparison to the predicted values (kPa/L/ s) (R5: 0.56±0.15 and 0.36±0.01, R20: 0.41±0.08 and 0.30±0.01, R5-20: 0.16±0.09 and 0.06±0.00, X5: -0.24±0.10 and -0.03±0.02, respectively) (p<0.05). The mean maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressures (cmH2O) were -114.7±24.3 and 132.0±30.1, respectively; and the inspiratory muscle endurance time was under the expected value in nearly 50% of the participants. The six minute walked distance did not show statistical differences compared to the predicted value. According to the mMRC, the participants did not have relevant dyspnea complaints and reported good quality of life perception by the SF-36. We did not find strong correlations between quality of life and dyspnea perception with the variables of protocol assessment. Conclusion: The IOS results suggest central and peripheral airway obstruction, which were not detected by spirometry. Patients reported good quality of life and low dyspnea perceptions. They had good performance in the 6MWT without respiratory muscle weakness but with limitations in inspiratory muscle endurance time.

Santana, Pauliane Vieira 26 October 2016 (has links)
INTRODUÇÃO: As doenças pulmonares intersticiais fibrosantes (DPIFs) se caracterizam por dispneia, intolerância aos esforços e prejuízo da qualidade de vida. Apesar de existirem vários mecanismos implicados, a fisiopatologia da dispneia e limitação aos esforços não é completamente elucidada. A disfunção da musculatura ventilatória tem sido postulada como um fator envolvido. O objetivo do estudo foi investigar a ocorrência de disfunção muscular ventilatória em pacientes com DPIF comparados a indivíduos sadios, e correlacionar a disfunção muscular com a qualidade de vida, dispneia e intolerância ao exercício. METODOLOGIA: Foi realizado um estudo prospectivo, caso-controle envolvendo 62 indivíduos, sendo 31 pacientes com DPIF e 31 voluntários sadios. Os indivíduos foram avaliados em 2 visitas. Na visita 1 foram avaliados o grau de dispneia (escala de MRCm), a qualidade de vida (SGRQ), a função pulmonar, e o desempenho num teste de caminhada de 6 minutos (TC6M) além de caracterização da mobilidade e espessura do diafragma ao ultrassom (US). Na visita 2, foram avaliadas:1) a força muscular ventilatória estática volitiva (PImáx, PEmáx, SNIP, PesSniff, PgaSniff, PdiSniff, e PgaTosse) e não volitiva através da estimulação magnética bilateral do nervo frênico (TwPes, TwPga e TwPdi) e das raízes dorsais em T10 (TwT10Pga); 2) a sincronia toracoabdominal (por pletismografia de indutância); 3) o recrutamento dos músculo inspiratórios (eletromiografia de superfície do musculo escaleno) e expiratórios (eletromiografia de superfície do musculo obliquo externo). A seguir foi realizado um teste de exercicio cardiopulmonar (TECP) em cicloergômetro limitado por sintomas. As medidas de força muscular não volitiva foram repetidas após o TECP para investigar a ocorrência de fadiga muscular ventilatória. RESULTADOS: os pacientes com DPIFs apresentavam: dispneia aos esforços; limitação do desempenho no TC6M e prejuízo de qualidade de vida. Os pacientes com DPIF apresentaram redução da mobilidade diafragmática na respiração profunda, aumento da espessura na CRF e redução da fração de espessamento do diafragma ao US. Não houve diferenças entre pacientes e controles na força muscular volitiva e não volitiva e na proporção de fadiga ins e expiratória após o esforço. Contudo, os pacientes apresentaram fadiga ventilatória em cargas menores de exercicio. Nos pacientes com DPIF houve uma redução no desempenho do exercicio associada a uma limitação ventilatória, dessaturação e dispneia. Os pacientes com DPIF apresentaram uma proporção maior de assincronia no pico do exercício além de maior recrutamento do musculo escaleno. As relações entre a força ventilatória inspiratória e o os volumes pulmonares indicaram um desacoplamento neuromecânico (DNM) que se correlacionou com a dispneia nos pacientes com DPIF. CONCLUSÕES: Os pacientes com DPIF apresentam disfunção muscular ventilatória ao repouso caracterizado pela redução da mobilidade do diafragma na respiração profunda, aumento da espessura e redução da fração de espessamento. Ao esforço, na DPIF, a disfunção muscular ventilatória foi caracterizada pela ocorrência de fadiga ventilatória em baixas cargas de exercicio, recrutamento predominante dos músculos inspiratórios acessórios, assincronia toracoabdominal e desacoplamento neuromecânico que contribuíram para limitação do desempenho e dispneia / INTRODUCTION: fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (FILDs) are characterized by dyspnea, exercise intolerance and impaired quality of life. While there are several mechanisms involved, the occurrence of dyspnea and exercise limitation is not fully elucidated. The dysfunction of the respiratory muscles has been postulated as a contributing factor. The aim of the study was to investigate the occurrence of respiratory muscle dysfunction in patients with FILDs compared to healthy subjects and to correlate respiratory muscle dysfunction with quality of life, dyspnea and exercise intolerance. METHODS: A prospective, case-control study involving 62 subjects, 31 patients with FILD and 31 healthy volunteers. Subjects were evaluated in two visits. At visit 1, subjects underwent clinical evaluation to access dyspnea (MRCm), quality of life (SGRQ), pulmonary function and also characterization of mobility and thickness of the diaphragm on ultrasound (US). Subjects performed a 6-minute walk test (6MWT). In the second visit were evaluated: 1) maximum static respiratory pressures through volitional (MIP, MEP, SNIP, PesSniff, PgaSniff, PdiSniff and PgaCough) and non-volitional methods - cervical Twitchs (TwPes, TwPga and TwPdi) and T10 Twitchs (TwT10Pga); 2) thoracoabdominal synchrony (by respiratory inductance plethysmography); 3) recruitment of inspiratory muscle (surface electromyography of scalene muscle) and expiratory (surface electromyography of the external oblique muscle). Then, subjects performed an incremental cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). The non-volitional muscle strength measures were repeated after the CPET to investigate the occurrence of fatigue. RESULTS: The patients with FILDs exhibited dyspnea on exertion; limited performance on 6MWT and impaired quality of life. On ultrasound, patients with FILD had decreased diaphragmatic mobility during deep breathing, increased thickness in the functional residual capacity (FRC) and reduced diaphragm thickness fraction. Between patients and controls, there were no differences in volitional and non-volitional strength and in the occurrence of respiratory fatigue. However, patients presented respiratory fatigue under lower exercise loads. In patients with FILD there was a decrease in exercise performance associated with ventilatory limitation, desaturation and dyspnea. Patients with FILD had a higher proportion of asynchrony at exercise peak and greater recruitment of the scalene muscle. In patients with FILD, higher inspiratory effort- displacement ratios indicated a neuromechanical uncoupling (DNM) that correlated with dyspnea. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with FILD exhibited respiratory muscle dysfunction at rest characterized by the reduction of diaphragmatic mobility in deep breathing, increased thickness on FRC and reduced thickness fraction. In FILD, exercise was associated with respiratory muscle dysfunction characterized by the occurrence of respiratory fatigue, thoracoabdominal asynchrony, greater recruitment of inspiratory muscles and neuromechanical uncoupling that contributed to limiting the performance and dyspnea

Πολυμορφισμός του γονιδίου του μετατρεπτικού ενζύμου της αγγειοτενσίνης και λειτουργία των αναπνευστικών μυών σε νεογνά

Παπακωνσταντίνου, Δέσποινα 24 January 2011 (has links)
Το γονίδιο του ανθρώπινου μετατρεπτικού ενζύμου της αγγειοτενσίνης ACE περιέχει έναν πολυμορφισμό δύο αλληλομόρφων που αποτελείται είτε από την παρουσία (I) είτε από την απουσία (D) ενός τμήματος 287 ζευγών βάσεων (bp). Πρόσφατες μελέτες έχουν προτείνει ότι το αλληλόμορφο Ι, μπορεί να σχετίζεται με απόδοση σχετιζόμενη με τη μυϊκή αντοχή. Αντιθέτως, το αλληλόμορφο D γονίδιο έχει συσχετισθεί με απόδοση σχετιζόμενη με τη μυϊκή ισχύ. Επιπλέον, έχει καταδειχθεί ότι η δραστικότητα του κυκλοφορούντος ACE (cACE) συσχετίζεται ευθέως με τη μυική ισχύ σε υγιείς ενήλικες. Η φυσιολογία και η βιοχημεία των αναπνευστικών μυών είναι παρόμοια με αυτή των σκελετικών μυών. Επομένως, η λειτουργικότητα των αναπνευστικών μυών και ιδίως του διαφράγματος, του πλέον σημαντικού αναπνευστικού μυ, μπορεί να επηρεάζεται αναλόγως. Η κόπωση των αναπνευστικών μυών μπορεί να οδηγεί σε αδυναμία διατήρησης του απαραίτητου κυψελιδικού αερισμού. Διάφορες μέθοδοι έχουν χρησιμοποιηθεί για να αξιολογηθούν οι ιδιότητες αντοχής των αναπνευστικών μυών. Ο διαφραγματικός δείκτης πίεσης-χρόνου (PTIdi) και ο μη επεμβατικός δείκτης πίεσης-χρόνου των αναπνευστικών μυών (PTImus), είναι δύο μέθοδοι εκτίμησης της αντοχής του διαφράγματος και των αναπνευστικών μυών, αντίστοιχα. Έχουν χρησιμοποιηθεί σε ενήλικες και παιδιά και έχουν τεκμηριωθεί σε νεογνά. Η διαφραγματική ισχύς και η ισχύς των αναπνευστικών μυών στα νεογνά μπορεί να αξιολογηθούν ειδικά με τη μέτρηση της μέγιστης δια-διαφραγματικής πίεσης (Pdimax) και της μεγίστης εισπνευστικής πίεσης αεραγωγών (Pimax), αντίστοιχα. Σκοπός. Να εξετασθεί η πιθανή συσχέτιση του πολυμορφισμού I/D του ACE και του κυκλοφορούντος ACE με την λειτουργικότητα του διαφράγματος και των αναπνευστικών μυών σε νεογνά. Δευτερεύων σκοπός ήταν ο προσδιορισμός της κατανομής του πολυμορφισμού I/D του ACE στον συγκεκριμένο πληθυσμό και η συσχέτισή του με την δραστικότητα του cACE. Υλικό και Μέθοδοι. Μελετήθηκαν νεογνά που είχαν εισαχθεί στην Μονάδα Εντατικής Νοσηλείας Νεογνών- Παιδιατρική κλινική του Πανεπιστημίου Πατρών. Τα Ι και D αλληλόμορφα του γονιδίου του ACE προσδιορίστηκαν με αλυσιδωτή αντίδραση πολυμεράσης (PCR amplification) σε DNA το οποίο εξήχθη από 0,5 mL ολικού αίματος. Η δραστηριότητα του ACE ορού αξιολογήθηκε με τη χρησιμοποίηση μιας UV κινητικής μεθόδου. Η αντοχή του διαφράγματος και των αναπνευστικών μυών εκτιμήθηκαν με μέτρηση του διαφραγματικού δείκτη πίεση-χρόνου (PTIdi) και του δείκτη πίεσης-χρόνου των αναπνευστικών μυών (PTImus), αντίστοιχα. Η διαφραγματική ισχύς και η ισχύς των αναπνευστικών μυών στα νεογνά αξιολογήθηκαν με μέτρηση της μέγιστης δια-διαφραγματικής πίεσης (Pdimax) και της μεγίστης εισπνευστικής πίεσης αεραγωγών (Pimax), αντίστοιχα. Αποτελέσματα. Συνολικά εξετάστηκαν 171 νεογνά. Στην πρώτη μελέτη της διατριβής μελετήθηκαν 148 νεογνά, στην δεύτερη μελέτη 132 και στην τρίτη μελέτη 110 νεογνά. Η κατανομή του πολυμορφισμού του ACE στο συγκεκριμένο πληθυσμό βρέθηκε κοντά σε προηγούμενα αναφερόμενα στοιχεία. Τα νεογνά με Ι/Ι γονότυπο είχαν χαμηλότερο PTIdi και PTImus από τα νεογνά με γονοτύπους είτε D/D ή I/D. Η ανάλυση των επιμέρους στοιχείων των PTIdi και PTImus έδειξε ότι μόνο οι λόγοι Pdimean (μέση διαδιαφραγματική πίεση) προς Pdimax και Pimean (μέση πίεση αεραγωγών) προς Pimax, αντίστοιχα, ήταν χαμηλότεροι σε νεογνά με γονότυπο I/I έναντι των νεογνών με γονοτύπους είτε D/D είτε I/D. Οι Pdimax και Pimax δεν ήταν στατιστικά διαφορετικές ανάμεσα στις τρείς ομάδες. Ανάλυση βηματικής παλινδρόμησης κατέδειξε σημαντική συσχέτιση των γονότυπων του ACE με τις τιμές του PTIdi και του PTImus, ανεξαρτήτως παραγόντων που θα μπορούσαν να επηρεάσουν την λειτουργικότητα του διαφράγματος και των αναπνευστικών μυών. Νεογνά με το D/D γονότυπο είχαν αυξημένη δραστικότητα ACE ορού σε σχέση με νεογνά με I/I ή I/D γονοτύπους. Η δραστικότητα του cACE σχετιζόταν σημαντικά ευθέως με τη Pimax και αντιστρόφως με το PTImus. Συμπεράσματα. Στις μελέτες αυτής της διατριβής ανεδείχθη συσχέτιση ανάμεσα στους γονοτύπους του ACE και την αντοχή του διαφράγματος και γενικότερα των αναπνευστικών μυών όπως αξιολογείται με τη μέτρηση των PTIdi και PTImus, αντίστοιχα, σε νεογνά. Δεν ανεδείχθη συσχέτιση ανάμεσα στους γονοτύπους του ACE και την ισχύ του διαφράγματος και γενικότερα των αναπνευστικών μυών όπως αξιολογείται με τη μέτρηση των Pdimax και Pimax, αντίστοιχα, σε αυτό τον πληθυσμό. Εντούτοις, κατεδείχθη μια θετική συσχέτιση μεταξύ της δραστικότητας του ACE ορού και της ισχύος των αναπνευστικών μυών, όπως αυτή αξιολογείται από μετρήσεις της Pimax , και μια αρνητική συσχέτιση ανάμεσα στη δραστικότητα του ACE ορού και του PTImus. Επιπλέον, δείχθηκε μια συσχέτιση του αλληλόμορφου D γονιδίου του γονοτύπου ACE με την αυξημένη δραστικότητα του cACE στα νεογνά. / The human ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) gene contains a polymorphism consisting of either the presence (insertion, I) or absence (deletion, D) of a 287 base pair (bp) fragment. Recent studies have suggested that the I-allele may be associated with endurance performance. Conversely, D-allele has been associated with power-oriented performance. Moreover, it has been suggested that circulating ACE (cACE) activity is correlated with muscle strength in healthy adults. The physiological and biochemical properties of the respiratory and skeletal muscles are quite similar. Therefore, respiratory muscle and specific diaphragmatic function, may be similarly influenced. Fatigue of respiratory muscles may result in inability to maintain adequate alveolar ventilation. Several methods have been used to assess the endurance properties of respiratory muscles. Diaphragmatic pressure-time index (PTIdi) and the non-invasive pressure-time index of respiratory muscles (PTImus), are two methods of assessment of diaphragmatic and respiratory muscle endurance, respectively. They have been validated in both adults and infants. Diaphragmatic and respiratory muscle strength in infants can be assessed specifically, by measurement of maximum transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdimax) and maximum inspiratory pressure (Pimax), respectively. Aims. To examine the possible association of the I/D genotypes of ACE and cACE, with diaphragmatic and respiratory muscle performance, in infants. Secondary aims were to identify the distribution of the I/D genotypes of ACE in the specific population and its association with cACE activity. Material and methods. Infants cared for at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit- Paediatric Department of the University General Hospital of Patras, Greece, were eligible for the study. ACE genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction amplification on DNA, extracted from 0,5 ml of whole blood. Serum ACE activity was assayed by using a UV-kinetic method. The endurance of the diaphragm and the respiratory muscles was assessed by measurement of diaphragmatic pressure-time index (PTIdi) and pressure-time index of the respiratory muscles (PTImus), respectively. Diaphragmatic and respiratory muscle strength was assessed by measurement of maximum transdiaphragmatic (Pdimax) and maximum inspiratory (Pimax) pressures, respectively. Results. One hundred seventy one infants were recruited. One hundred fourty eight infants were included in the first study, one hundred thirty two in the second study and one hundred ten in the third study of this thesis. The distribution of the I/D genotypes of ACE in the specific population was close to previous reported data. Infants with I/I ACE genotype had lower PTIdi and PTImus than infants with either D/D or I/D genotypes. Analysis of the components of the PTIdi and PTImus has shown that the ratios of Pdimean to Pdimax and Pimean to Pimax , only, were lower in infants with the I/I genotype, compared to infants with either the D/D or I/D genotypes. Neither Pdimax, nor Pimax were statistically different between the three groups. A stepwise regression analysis revealed that ACE genotypes were significantly related to the PTIdi and PTImus measurements, independent of other factors that may affect diaphragmatic and respiratory muscle function. Infants with D/D genotype had significantly higher serum ACE activity than infants with I/I or I/D genotypes. Circulating ACE activity was significantly related to Pimax and inversely related to PTImus. Conclusions. In the studies of this thesis, an association between ACE genotypes and the endurance of the diaphragm and the respiratory muscles, assessed by measurement of PTIdi and PTImus, respectively, was demonstrated, in infants. No such association was demonstrated between ACE genotypes and strength of the diaphragm and the respiratory muscles, assessed by measurement of Pdimax and Pimax, respectively, in the specific population. However, a positive correlation between serum ACE activity and respiratory muscle strength, assessed by measurement of Pimax and and a negative correlation between serum ACE activity and PTImus, was shown. Moreover, an association of D-allele of ACE genotype with increased circulating ACE activity in infants, was demonstrated.

Efeitos da facilitação neuromuscular proprioceptiva aplicada à musculatura acessória da respiração sobre variáveis pulmonares e ativação muscular em pacientes com DPOC

Dumke, Anelise January 2012 (has links)
INTRODUÇÃO: A desvantagem mecânica induzida pela hiperinsuflação leva os pacientes com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica (DPOC) a usar a musculatura acessória da respiração. Os efeitos do alongamento destes músculos em pacientes com DPOC não são bem conhecidos. OBJETIVOS: a) Comparar a ativação dos músculos acessórios da respiração em pacientes com DPOC e controles e estudar a relação entre a ativação muscular e a capacidade inspiratória (CI); b) avaliar os efeitos de uma técnica de facilitação neuromuscular proprioceptiva (FNP) sobre os músculos acessórios da respiração em pacientes com DPOC. MÉTODOS: Foram estudados 30 homens com DPOC e 30 controles com espirometria normal. Todos os indivíduos realizaram espirometria, medida das pressões inspiratória e expiratória máxima (PImáx, PEmáx) e avaliação da ativação muscular através da eletromiografia de superfície (EMGs). Os pacientes com DPOC foram randomizados para FNP dos músculos acessórios da respiração ou contração isotônica do bíceps (tratamento simulado, TS). Capacidade vital forçada (CVF), CI, PImáx, PEmáx, oximetria de pulso (SpO2) e mobilidade torácica foram medidos antes e após a intervenção. RESULTADOS: Os valores basais dos pacientes com DPOC foram: CVF 2,69 ± 0,6 L, VEF1 1,07 ± 0,23 L (34,9 ± 8,2%), CI 2,25 ± 0,5 L, PImáx -71,8 ± 19,8 cmH2O e PEmáx 106,1 ± 29,9 cmH2O. No grupo controle os valores funcionais basais foram normais. Pacientes com DPOC apresentaram maior ativação dos músculos escalenos e intercostal direito no repouso e do músculo escaleno e intercostal esquerdo durante a manobra da CI (p<0,05). Foi observada correlação moderada entre CI e atividade muscular do esternocleidomastoideo direito (r=-0,41;p=0,026) e do escaleno esquerdo (r=- 0,40;p=0,031) em pacientes com DPOC. Nenhuma associação foi verificada no grupo controle. A CI variou (OCI) 0,083 ± 0,04 L após FNP e -0,029 ± 0,015 L após TS (p=0,03). A PEmáx aumentou de 102,4 ± 20,6 cmH2O para 112,4 ± 24,5 cmH2O (p=0,02) após FNP e não variou significativamente após TS. Observou-se um aumento significativo da SpO2 com a FNP (p=0,02). Não houve alteração da CV, da PImáx e da mobilidade torácica após a FNP. Não houve alteração no sinal EMG após FNP ou TS. CONCLUSÕES: Nossos resultados sugerem que pacientes com DPOC apresentam maior ativação dos músculos acessórios da respiração no repouso e durante a realização da CI em comparação com controles e que esta ativação está inversamente associada com a CI. Nosso estudo também demonstrou que uma sessão de FNP dos músculos acessórios da respiração em pacientes com DPOC aumentou a CI, a PEmáx e a SpO2, sem alteração no sinal EMG. Estudos adicionais são necessários para avaliar os efeitos da técnica de FNP em longo prazo em pacientes com DPOC. / BACKGROUND: The mechanical disadvantage induced by hyperinflation forces chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients to use their accessory respiratory muscles. In COPD patients the effects of applying stretching techniques to these muscles are not well understood. AIM: The aims of our study were: a) to compare the activation of accessory respiratory muscles in patients with COPD and control subjects and study the relationship between muscle activation and inspiratory capacity (IC); b) to analyze the effects of a proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching technique applied to the accessory respiratory muscles on patients with COPD. METHODS: We studied 30 male COPD and 30 control subjects. All subjects underwent spirometry, measurement of maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures (MIP, MEP) and assessment of muscle activation by surface electromyography (sEMG). COPD patients were randomized for PNF of accessory respiratory muscles or isometric contraction of the biceps (sham treatment; ST). Mean forced vital capacity (FVC), IC, MIP, MEP, pulse oximetry (SpO2) and thoracic expansion were measured before and after intervention. RESULTS: Baseline values of COPD patients were: FVC 2.69 ± 0.6 l, FEV1 1.07 ± 0.23 l (34.9 ± 8.2%), IC 2.25 ± 0.5l, PImax -71.8 ± 19.8 cmH2O and PEmax 106.1 ± 29.9 cmH2O. Control subjects had all baseline values normal. Patients with COPD showed higher activation of both scalene and right intercostal muscles at rest and of left intercostal and left scalene muscle during the IC maneuver (p <0.05). Moderate correlation was observed between CI and the right sternocleidomastoid muscle activity (r = -0.41, p = 0.026) and left scalene (r = -0.40, p = 0.031) in patients with COPD. No association was observed in the control group. CI varied (OCI) 0.083 ± 0.04 l after PNF and -0.029 ± 0.015 l after ST (p = 0.03). The MEP increased from 102.4 ± 20.6 to 112.4 ± 24.5 cmH2O (p = 0.02) after PNF and did not change significantly after TS. There was a significant increase in the SpO2 with PNF (p=0.02). There was no change in FVC, MIP or thoracic mobility after PNF. There was no change in EMG after PNF or TS. CONCLUSIONS: Our results showed that patients with COPD have greater activation of accessory respiratory muscles at rest and during CI compared with controls, and that this activation is inversely associated with CI. Our study also demonstrated that a session of PNF applied to the accessory respiratory muscles in patients with COPD increased CI, MEP and SpO2, with no change in the sEMG signal. Additional studies are needed to evaluate the long-term effects of PNF applied to the acessory respiratory muscles on patients with COPD.

A quebra do jejum com bebida enriquecida com carboidratos e proteínas pode reduzir a resposta catabólica ao jejum, com consequente melhora da função e fadiga muscular. Objetivo: Avaliar a força e a fadiga muscular respiratória e periférica de adultos saudáveis submetidos ao jejum de 12 horas completo ou a protocolo de suplementação contendo carboidratos e proteínas. Materiais e métodos: Foi realizado um ensaio clinico randomizado, cruzado com 15 voluntários saudáveis do sexo masculino, com IMC normal e idade entre 20 e 30 anos. Os mesmos voluntários foram submetidos a testes de avaliação de função muscular após jejum noturno de 12 horas, e após período de suplementação de carboidratos e proteína (Jucy Drink, Fresenius-Kabi) 2 horas antes dos testes (200ml). O intervalo entre os 2 testes foi de 2 a 4 semanas. Todos realizaram os seguintes testes: manovacuometria para mensuração da força muscular respiratória através das medidas de pressões respiratórias máximas (PImáx e PEmáx), dinamometria do membro superior dominante e não dominante para determinação da potência e fadiga muscular periférica. Resultados: Os resultados da força muscular periférica foram maiores após o protocolo de suplementação tanto da mão dominante como da não-dominante comparado ao jejum de 12 horas (p<0.004). A fadiga muscular foi significativamente maior após o protocolo de jejum nas primeiras 4 medidas da sequência (p<0,01). A força muscular tanto inspiratória quanto expiratória apresentaram tendência a valores superiores após protocolo de suplementação nutricional, no entanto a força expiratória não apresentou significância estatística. De maneira geral houve piora da função muscular aos testes empregados quando os voluntários estavam em jejum de 12 horas. Conclusão: Após período de jejum em indivíduos saudáveis ocorre piora da função e força muscular global. O protocolo de suplementação com a bebida rica em carboidratos e proteínas melhoram a força e o desempenho da função muscular. / Introduction: After a few hours of fasting, glycogen is consumed and muscle protein is then metabolized for providing glucose to the tissues. The breaking of the fast with drink enriched with carbohydrates and protein can reduce the catabolic response to fasting, with consequent improvement of muscle function and fatigue. Objective: To evaluate fatigue and strength muscle respiratory and peripheral in healthy adults fasted for 12 full hours or supplementation protocol containing carbohydrates and proteins. Materials and methods: A randomized cross-over clinical trial was conducted, with 15 healthy male volunteers, with normal IMC and age between 20 and 30 years. The volunteers underwent assessment of muscle function tests after either an overnight fast of 12 hours or after period supplementation of carbohydrate and protein (Jucy Drink, Fresenius-Kabi) 2 hours before the tests (200ml). The interval between two tests was 2 to 4 weeks. All individuals underwent the following tests: manovacuometer for measurement of respiratory muscle strength by measuring the maximal respiratory pressures (PImáx e PEmáx), and grip strength of the dominant and non-dominant upper limb to determine the strength and peripheral muscle fatigue. Results: The results of peripheral muscle strength were higher after the supplementation protocol in both the dominant hand and the non-dominant compared to the 12-hour fasting (p<0.004). Muscle fatigue was significantly greater after fasting protocol for the first 4 steps of the sequence (p <0.01). Both inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength showed higher values after nutritional supplementation protocol, though expiratory force was not statistically significant. In general, worsening of muscle function tests was to employees when the volunteers had fasted for 12 hours. Conclusion: After an overnight fasting of healthy subjects, loss of function and overall muscle strength are evident. The supplementation protocol with carbohydrates rich drink proteins improves the muscle strength and the performance of muscle function.

IMPACTO DA RESPIRAÇÃO ORAL OCORRIDA DURANTE A INFÂNCIA NA FASE ADULTA: ASPECTOS FÍSICOS E QUALIDADE DE VIDA / IMPACT OF MOUTH BREATHING OCCURRED DURING CHILDHOOD IN THE ADULT AGE: PHYSICAL ASPECTS AND QUALITY OF LIFE

Milanesi, Jovana de Moura 03 March 2011 (has links)
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The child with mouth breathing may suffer several changes in different body systems. The act of breathing through the mouth can affect the growth and development of structures and functions of the stomatognathic and the respiratory systems, body posture and quality of life. For this reason, children who grow up with this stimulus may have, as adults, effects on physical and psychological levels with loss in the quality of life. Thus, this research aimed to evaluate the impact of mouth breathing in adulthood on the physical aspects and the quality of life. For this, they were selected 24 adults, aged from 18 to 30 years old, with history of mouth breathing during childhood to comprise the study group (SG). The control group (CG) was constituted by 20 adults with the same age of the SG, without significant respiratory impairment from childhood to current age. All volunteers underwent a physical therapy evaluation consisting of postural assessment by photogrametry, evaluation of ventilatory parameters such as measurement of maximal respiratory pressures, peak expiratory flow, thoraco-abdominal circumference and the 6-minute walk test. In addition, all of them answered to the SF-36 quality of life questionnaire. Additionally, just those volunteers in the study group underwent to the otorhinolaringologic and speech examination. According to the results obtained, the SG presented more forward head posture confirmed by measuring of two angles (p=0,0000; p=0,0414) and the cervical distance (p=0,0079). Moreover, these participants showed a greater angular measurement of lumbar lordosis compared to the CG (p=0,0141). Among the variables with statistically significant differences, the measures of the percentage of maximal respiratory pressures (p=0,0007; p=0,0000) for SG and the distance covered in the walking test (p=0,0032) were lower than the GC. Among the variables analyzed in the speech therapy evaluation in the SG, it is highlighted the presence of open or half-open lips in 55% of the subjects, deep palate in 60%, asymmetric cheeks in 75% and the lower lip in a discrete or accentuated eversion form in 95% of the subjects. Also, the score obtained in the General Health Questionnaire domain assessed the quality of life was lower in this group (p=0,0019). From this results, it can be concluded that adults with a history of mouth breathing in childhood have or maintain changes in the head posture and lumbar spine, in the respiratory muscle strength, aerobic performance and quality of life. / A criança que apresenta respiração oral pode sofrer diversas alterações em diferentes sistemas do corpo humano. O ato de respirar pela boca pode acometer o crescimento e desenvolvimento das estruturas e funções do sistema estomatognático, bem como do sistema respiratório, postura corporal e qualidade de vida. Por esta razão, a respiração oral na infância pode provocar repercussões na idade adulta em níveis físico e psicológico com prejuízo na qualidade de vida. Desta forma, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar o impacto da respiração oral na idade adulta nos aspectos físicos e na qualidade de vida. Para tanto, foram selecionados 24 adultos, de 18 a 30 anos, com história de respiração oral na infância que compuseram o grupo de estudo (GE). O grupo de controle (GC) foi constituído por 20 adultos da mesma faixa etária, sem comprometimento respiratório significante desde a infância. Todos os voluntários realizaram uma avaliação fisioterapêutica composta de avaliação postural por biofotogrametria e avaliação dos parâmetros ventilatórios tais como: medida das pressões respiratórias máximas, pico de fluxo expiratório, cirtometria tóraco-abdominal e teste de caminhada de seis minutos. Além disso, todos responderam ao questionário de qualidade de vida SF-36. Apenas os voluntários do grupo de estudo realizaram avaliação otorrinolaringológica e fonoaudiológica. Entre as variáveis analisadas na avaliação fonoaudiológica do GE, destacam-se a presença de postura habitual dos lábios abertos ou entreabertos em 55% da amostra, palato profundo em 60%, bochechas assimétricas em 75% e a forma do lábio inferior com eversão discreta ou acentuada em 95% dos indivíduos. Os resultados da avaliação postural demonstraram que o GE apresenta maior anteriorização da cabeça confirmada pela medida de dois ângulos diferentes (p=0,0000; p=0,0414) e ainda pela distância cervical (p=0,0079). Além disso, os adultos desta pesquisa com história de respiração oral na infância apresentaram uma maior medida angular da lordose lombar (p=0,0141) quando comparada ao GC. Na avaliação ventilatória houve diferença estatisticamente significante nas medidas percentuais previstas das pressões respiratórias máximas (p=0,0007; p=0,0000), bem como na distância percorrida no teste de caminhada (p=0,0032), ambas com valores inferiores no GE. Também foi significativamente menor o escore no domínio Estado Geral de Saúde avaliado pelo questionário de qualidade de vida neste grupo (p=0,0019). Com isso, conclui-se que adultos com história de respiração oral na infância apresentam ou mantém alterações na postura de cabeça e coluna lombar, na força dos músculos respiratórios, no desempenho aeróbico e na qualidade de vida.

With the improvement in outcomes, there is a need to consider the morbidity to generate the protocols used in children under treatment. Aim: To evaluate pulmonary function in children with acute leukemia. Method: This study is an observational cross sectional. We evaluated 34 children distributed in groups A and B. Group A comprised 17 children with acute leukemia in the maintenance phase of chemotherapy treatment and group B with 17 healthy students from the public in the city of Natal / RN, matched for gender, age and height. The thoracic mobility was evaluated by thoracic expansion in the axillary and xiphoid levels. Spirometry was measured using a spirometer Microloop Viasys ? following the rules of the ATS and ERS. Maximal respiratory pressures were measured with digital manometer MVD300 (Globalmed ?). The maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) were measured from residual volume and total lung capacity, respectively. The data were analyzed using the SPSS 17.0 software assigning the significance level of 5%. Descriptive analysis was expressed as mean and standard deviation. T'student test was used to compare unpaired values found in group A with group B values, as well as with the reference values used. To compare the respiratory coefficients in the axillary level with the xiphoid in each group, we used paired testing t student. Results: Group A was significantly decreased thoracic mobility and MIP compared to group B, and MIP compared to baseline. There was no significant difference between spirometric data from both groups and the values of group A with the reference values Mallozi (1995). There was no significant difference between the MIP and MEP values and lower limits of reference proposed by Borja (2011). Conclusion: Children with acute leukemia, myeloid or lymphoid, during maintenance phase of chemotherapy treatment have reduced thoracic mobility and MIP. However, to date, completion of clinical treatment, the spirometric variables and the strength of the expiratory muscles appear to remain preserved in children between five and ten years / Introdu??o: As leucemias constituem a doen?a maligna mais frequente em crian?as e adolescentes. Com a melhora no progn?stico, surge a necessidade de considerar a morbidade que os protocolos utilizados geram nas crian?as em tratamento. Objetivo: Avaliar a fun??o pulmonar de crian?as com leucemia aguda. M?todo: Trata-se de um estudo observacional do tipo anal?tico transversal. Foram avaliadas 34 crian?as, alocadas nos grupos A e B. O grupo A foi formado por 17 crian?as com leucemia aguda na fase de manuten??o do tratamento quimioter?pico e o grupo B por 17 estudantes saud?veis da rede p?blica do munic?pio de Natal/RN, pareados em rela??o a g?nero, idade e altura. A mobilidade tor?cica foi avaliada por meio de cirtometria tor?cica nos n?veis axilar e xif?ide. A espirometria foi mensurada utilizando o espir?metro Microloop Viasys? seguindo as normas da ATS e ERS. As press?es respirat?rias m?ximas foram mensuradas com o manovacu?metro digital MVD300 (Globalmed?). As press?es inspirat?rias m?ximas (PIm?x) e as press?es expirat?rias m?ximas (PEm?x) foram medidas a partir do volume residual e da capacidade pulmonar total, respectivamente. Os dados foram analisados atrav?s do software SPSS 17.0 atribuindo-se o n?vel de signific?ncia de 5%. A an?lise descritiva foi expressa atrav?s de m?dia e desvio padr?o. Foi utilizado o teste t student n?o pareado para compara??o dos valores encontrados no grupo A com os valores do grupo B, bem como com os valores de refer?ncia utilizados. Para compara??o entre os coeficientes respirat?rios no n?vel axilar com o n?vel xif?ide em cada grupo, utilizou-se o teste t student pareado. Resultados: O grupo A apresentou diminui??o significativa da mobilidade tor?cica e da PIm?x quando comparado ao grupo B, bem como da PIm?x quando comparada aos valores de refer?ncia. N?o houve diferen?a significativa entre os dados espirom?tricos dos dois grupos avaliados e os valores do grupo A com os valores de refer?ncia de Mallozi (1995). Tamb?m n?o existiu diferen?a significativa entre os valores de PIm?x e PEm?x e os valores de limites inferiores propostos como refer?ncia por Borja (2011). Conclus?o: As crian?as com leucemia aguda, linf?ide ou miel?ide, durante o per?odo de manuten??o do tratamento quimioter?pico apresentam redu??o da mobilidade tor?cica e da for?a muscular inspirat?ria. Entretanto, at? este momento, de conclus?o do tratamento quimioter?pico, as vari?veis espirom?tricas e a for?a dos m?sculos expirat?rios parecem manter-se preservadas em crian?as entre cinco e dez anos
