The biology of fracture healing: optimising outcome

Optimising the results of fracture treatment requires a holistic view of both patients and treatment. The nature of the patient determines the priority targets for outcome, which differ widely between the elderly and the young, and between the victims of high and low energy trauma. The efficacy of treatment depends on the overall process of care and rehabilitation as well as the strategy adopted to achieve bone healing. The rational basis for fracture treatment is the interaction between three elements: (i) the cell biology of bone regeneration; (ii) the revascularisation of devitalized bone and soft tissue adjacent to the fracture; and (iii) the mechanical environment of the fracture. The development of systems for early fracture stabilisation has been an advance. However, narrow thinking centred only on the restoration of mechanical integrity leads to poor strategy--the aim is to optimise the environment for bone healing. Future advances may come from the adjuvant use of molecular stimuli to bone regeneration.     

Early and delayed cardioprotection by heat stress is mediated by calcitonin gene-related peptide

Brief ischaemia or heat stress protects the myocardium against ischaemia-reperfusion injury. Heat stimulus evokes release of sensory nerve transmitters, including calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Since CGRP has been shown to play an important role in the mediation of ischaemic preconditioning, the present study examined whether early or delayed preconditioning induced by retrograde hyperthermic perfusion in vitro or by whole-body hyperthemia in vivo also involves endogenous CGRP. Isolated rat hearts were perfused in the Langendorff mode and subjected to 30 min global ischaemia and 30 min reperfusion. Heart rate, coronary flow, left ventricular pressure and its first derivatives (±dp/dt) were recorded and the CGRP-like immunoreactivity (CGRP-LI) content and the release of creatine kinase (CK) during reperfusion were measured. Retrograde hyperthermic perfusion (42 °C) for 5 min improved the recovery of cardiac function, decreased the release of CK and elevated the content of CGRP-LI in the coronary effluent. CGRP_8–37 (10^–7 mol/l), a selective CGRP receptor antagonist, abolished the cardioprotection by heat stress. Pretreatment with capsaicin (50 mg/kg s.c.), which specifically depletes sensory nerve transmitter content, abolished both the cardioprotection and the increased release of CGRP-LI. Whole-body hyperthermia (42 °C for 15 min) caused an increase in the plasma concentration of CGRP-LI. Early or delayed protection was shown in the hearts obtained from the animals subjected to whole-body hyperthermia 10 min or 48 h before the experiments. The early or delayed protection by heat stress was also abolished by pretreatment with capsaicin. The present study suggests that, in the rat, the early and delayed cardioprotection induced by heat stress involves endogenous CGRP. Received: 31 December 1998 / Accepted: 6 April 1999     

Retigabine N-glucuronidation and its potential role in enterohepatic circulation.

The metabolism of retigabine in humans and dogs is dominated by N-glucuronidation (), whereas in rats, a multitude of metabolites of this new anticonvulsant is observed (). The comparison of the in vivo and in vitro kinetics of retigabine N-glucuronidation in these species identified a constant ratio between retigabine and retigabine N-glucuronide in vivo in humans and dog. An enterohepatic circulation of retigabine in these species is likely to be the result of reversible glucuronidation-deglucuronidation reactions. Rats did not show such a phenomenon, indicating that enterohepatic circulation of retigabine via retigabine N-glucuronide does not occur in this species. In the rat, 90% of retigabine N-glucuronidation is catalyzed by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT)1A1 and UGT1A2, whereas family 2 UGT enzymes contribute also. Of ten recombinant human UGTs, only UGTs 1A1, 1A3, 1A4, and 1A9 catalyzed the N-glucuronidation of retigabine. From the known substrate specificities of UGT1A4 toward lamotrigine and bilirubin and our activity and inhibition data, we conclude that UGT1A4 is a major retigabine N-glucuronosyl transferase in vivo and significantly contributes to the enterohepatic cycling of the drug.     

康乐霉素C与环孢素对小鼠免疫抑制作用的比较

AIM: To study inhibitory effects of kanglemycin C (Kan) on the mouse immune system, and compare with the effects of ciclosporin (Cic). METHODS: Delayed hypersensitivity (DH) and cyclophosphamide-potentiated DH induced by dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB); heart allograft and skin allograft; hemolysin; the phagocytosis of the peritoneal macrophage. RESULTS: Kan (12.5, 25, 50 mg.kg-1.d-1, ig, 8 d) markedly inhibited DH and cyclophosphamide-potentiated DH induced by DNFB (P < 0.01), prolonged survival times of heart and skin allografts (P < 0.01), and decreased the content of hemolysin (P < 0.01), but had no significant effect on the neutral-red phagocytosis of the peritoneal macrophage (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Kan had marked suppressive effects on cell-mediated and humoral-mediated immune responses, but no effect on phagocytosis of macrophage.
