Relative effectiveness of vitamin D metabolites in increasing bone mineral solubility

Weanling rats were given a vitamin D-deficient diet containing 1.4% calcium and 1.0% phosphorus. After 4 weeks these deficient animals were injected for 7 days with selected doses of one of the following vitamin D metabolites: 25(OH)D3, 1,25(OH)2D3, 24,25(OH)2D3, 25,26(OH)2D3 or the ethanol vehicle. A vitamin D-replete group was placed on the same diet but injected with 50 IU of vitamin D3 once a week for the entire 5-week period. By the use of a modified Ussing chamber [1], the measurements of calcium fluxes into and from the rat calvaria were possible. These data enabled the apparent mineral solubilities to be derived. After 5 weeks on this diet the vitamin D-deficient rats had low levels of serum calcium (1.41 mM) and decreased mineral solubility when compared to the vitamin D-replete group. The apparent solubility of the bone mineral increased toward the vitamin D-replete level in calvaria from vitamin D metabolite-treated rats. However, these changes did not directly reflect the alterations in the level of serum calcium. At any given dose level, 1,25(OH)2D3 was the most effective metabolite in increasing serum calcium. In fact, the high dose (250 pmoles/day) was hypercalcemic. Next in effectiveness was 25(OH)D3. These two metabolites were equally effective in increasing mineral solubility. At a 10 times higher dose, the 24,25(OH)2D3 metabolite was able to normalize serum calcium and improve but not normalize mineral solubility. At the high dose (260 pmoles/day), the 25,26(OH)2D3 metabolite caused no effect on mineral solubility and minimal increases in serum calcium.     

下腔静脉滤器置入与下肢深静脉血栓形成复发的相关性分析

目的探讨下腔静脉滤器(ICVF)置入与下肢深静脉血栓形成(DVT)治疗后复发的关系。方法回顾性分析2002年1月至2009年3月我院的确诊为DVT且符合入选标准的261例患者的临床资料。按照随访结果将患者分为复发组和未复发组,分别对可能引起复发的相关因素,如年龄、性别、分型、是否放置ICVF等11项因素进行对比分析。结果多因素logistic回归法分析放置ICVF,未完成抗凝治疗,分型及未行压力循环袜治疗是下肢DVT治疗后复发的独立危险因素(P0.05),而其他7项因素与DVT复发无统计学意义(P0.05)。结论 ICVF置入是DVT治疗后复发的重要危险因素,使用压力循环袜治疗和规范的抗凝治疗对预防DVT治疗后复发有重要的临床意义。     

肝细胞生长因子基因转染骨髓间充质干细胞对脂肪颗粒移植存活率的影响

目的研究携带人肝细胞生长因子基因的重组腺病毒（Ad—HGF）修饰骨髓间充质干细胞（MSCs）对大鼠脂肪颗粒移植存活率的影响。方法用携带绿色荧光蛋白的重组腺病毒（Ad-GFP）、Ad—HGF转染雄性Wistar大鼠MSCs,测定转染效率与感染上清中肝细胞生长因子（HGF）的表达。用雌性Wistar大鼠150只,随机分为5组：空白对照组（A组）、Ad—HGF组（B组）、MSCs组（C组）、Ad—GFP感染MSCs组（D组）和Ad—HGF感染MSCs组（E组）,每组30只。各组均匀振动5分钟,将颗粒脂肪移植于自体背部皮下;移植后3、5、7、14、28、60d,每组各取5只大鼠脱颈处死,取出移植物;测体积、HE、Masson染色观察病理改变,免疫组织化学法测定组织中HGF表达和血管生成。结果积分吸光度＝100时,Ad—GFP转染MSCs效率可达89．6％;移植后3、5、7、14d,E组移植物中HGF的表达高于其他各组（P〈0．05）;移植后5、7、14、28、60d,E组血管数量也多于其他各组（P〈0．05）;28d和60d时,E组脂肪颗粒体积保持率明显好于其他4组（P〈0．05）。结论携带HGF基因的MSCs在移植物中能够持续表达HGF,有效地减少脂肪颗粒移植后的吸收,从而提高移植颗粒脂肪的存活率。     

Hyaluronic acid signals for repair in ethanol-induced apoptosis in skin cells in vitro

Ethanol is commonly used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations.ObjectiveThe present study aimed to assess ethanol-induced apoptosis and the possible repair by hyaluronic acid (HA) in vitro. In addition we aimed to determine the modulation of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and interferon (IFN-α).Design and methodsWe treated human A431 epidermoid skin cells and mouse fibroblasts with two concentrations of ethanol for 24 h. HA obtained from umbilical cord excision was used at three concentration levels (2%, 4% and 8%) to determine its efficacy in the treatment. We measured cytotoxicity, TNF-α and IFN-α and visualized the cultures by electron microscopy.ResultsTreatment of cells with ethanol at 50 mM and 100 mM increased both the percentage of cells undergoing apoptosis, as well as the release of TNF-α into the culture medium.ConclusionsEthanol may induce apoptosis in skin cells by enhancing the effects of TNF-α. HA in the 2% and 4% concentrations reduced TNF-α and morphological inflammation both in human A431 epidermoid skin cells and in mouse fibroblasts.     

Physiologic Effects of the TASER After Exercise

Objectives: Incidents of sudden death following TASER exposure are poorly studied, and substantive links between TASER exposure and sudden death are minimal. The authors studied the effects of a single TASER exposure on markers of physiologic stress in humans. Methods: This prospective, controlled study evaluated the effects of a TASER exposure on healthy police volunteers after vigorous exercise, compared to a subsequent, identical exercise session that was not followed by TASER exposure. Subjects exercised to 85% of predicted heart rate (HR) on an ergometer and then were given a standard 5-second TASER activation. Measures before and for 60 minutes after the TASER activation included minute ventilation, tidal volume, respiratory rate, end-tidal pCO₂, oxygen saturation, HR, blood pressure (systolic BP/diastolic BP), 12-lead electrocardiogram, and arterialized blood for pH, pO₂, pCO₂, and lactate. Each subject repeated the exercise and data collection session on a subsequent data, without TASER activation. Data were analyzed using paired Student’s t-tests with differences and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Statistical significance was adjusted for multiple comparisons. Results: A total of 25 officers (21 men and 4 women) completed both portions of the study. After adjusting for multiple comparisons, the TASER group was significantly higher for systolic BP at baseline (difference of 14.1, 95% CI = 8.7 to 19.5, p < 0.001) and HR at 5, 30, and 60 minutes with the largest difference at 30 minutes (difference of 7.0, 95% CI = 2.5 to 11.5, p = 0.004). There were no other significant differences between the two groups in any other measure at any time. Conclusions: A 5-second exposure of a TASER following vigorous exercise to healthy law enforcement personnel does not result in clinically significant changes in ventilatory or blood parameters of physiologic stress.
