Electrophysiology of rat distal colon after partial nephrectomy

Previous in vivo studies in rat and man indicate that chronic renal insufficiency leads to an increase in the capacity of the large intestine for K secretion. The present studies were performed in isolated rat distal colon with conventional and K-sensitive microelectrodes to determine the cellular basis for enhanced colonic K secretion after 70% nephrectomy. The data revealed that in animals fed a regular diet, nephrectomy had no effect on the Na or K conductance of the apical membrane, or the kinetics of the basolateral membrane Na-K pump, but intracellular K activity decreased from 70±4 mmol/l to 58±4 mmol/l (P<0.005). In control (non-nephrectomised) animals, feeding a diet modestly (4-fold) enriched with K resulted in small but significant increases in the Na and K conductance of the apical membrane, no change in the kinetics of the basolateral membrane Na-K pump, and a rise in intracellular K activity from 70±4 mmol/l to 94±7 mmol/l (P<0.005). In contrast, in animals fed the K enriched diet, nephrectomy resulted in (i) large, amiloride-sensitive increases in transepithelial voltage and total tissue conductance (consistent with an appreciable degree of secondary hyperaldosteronism), (ii) marked increases in the Na and K conductance of the apical membrane, (iii) significant hyperpolarisation of the basolateral membrane, (iv) a 100% increase (P<0.02) in the maximum activity of the basolateral membrane Na-K pump, and (v) a rise in intracellular K activity from 94±7 mmol/l to 129±7 mmol/l (P<0.0025). These data suggest that the combination of modest dietary K enrichment and 70% nephrectomy stimulated an active K secretory process which reflected an increase in the K excretory load applied to the colonic mucosa, and the effects of aldosterone. In this model of renal insufficiency, enhanced K secretion by the transcellular and paracellular (potential-dependent) pathways results in a marked rise in the K excretory capacity of the colon.

Serum creatinine concentration and renal interstitial volume

Summary Renal biopsies of 44 patients with endocapillary acute glomerulonephritis (gn) and 64 patients with moderately severe mesangioproliferative gn were investigated morphometrically (point-counting-method, tubulometry).In both gn's statistically significant positive correlations between relative interstitial volume and the concentration of serum creatinine at the time of biopsy were found.Despite severe glomerular lesions the serum creatinine concentration is not increased in most cases of endocapillary acute gn, providing the relative interstitial volume is not increased by more than 15%.Increased serum creatinine concentration without a markedly enlarged interstitium was found in 11 cases of endocapillary acute gn with clinically and morphologically proven acute renal failure. In these cases the glomerular function is probably impaired by the Thurau-mechanism.In all other patients, especially in those with moderately severe mesangioproliferative gn, the serum creatinine concentration rises with an enlargement of relative interstitial volume. This reduction of renal function may be explained by a decrease to the total cross-sectional area of postglomerular vessels, caused by interstitial fibrosis. That may possibly lead to diminished renal blood flow and glomerular filtration with an increase of the serum creatinine concentration.Supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft     

Pharmacokinetics of high doses of piretanide in moderate to severe renal failure

Summary The pharmacokinetics of piretanide was studied in 10 patients with chronic renal failure. After administration of a high oral dose (12 to 192 mg) of piretanide the kinetics behaved according to an open 2-compartment model. The elimination constant in the first phase () ranged from 0.385 to 0.756 h^–1 and in the second phase () from 0.079 to 0.274 h^–1. The corresponding elimination half-lives ranged from 55 to 108 min (t_1/2 ) and from 152 to 524 min (t_1/2 ). Only an average of 2.8% of the orally administered drug was recovered in 24 h urines. Nevertheless, a good correlation was found between urinary recovery or renal clearance of the drug and residual renal function. The elimination of piretanide by non-renal mechanisms appeared to be increased when renal function was greatly diminished.

Vitamin D Status in Adolescents during COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Comparative Study

Vitamin D has been claimed to be effective in the response to infections, including the respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It is supposed that lockdown measures and fear of SARS-CoV-2 infection might reduce vitamin D levels through the modification of lifestyle. However, very few data exist on the association between lockdown measures and vitamin D status in humans. For this cross-sectional comparative study, adolescents (n = 298) aged 18 to 19 years were enrolled during the compulsory military fitness-for-duty evaluation between July and December 2020 in Southern Switzerland. Beyond anthropometric measurements, participants filled in a structured questionnaire about their lifestyle and a blood specimen was sampled for the determination of total 25-hydroxy-vitamin D. The obtained data were compared with those of 437 adolescents enrolled at the military fitness-for-duty evaluation during the same period of the year in the context of the CENERI study (2014–2016). The anthropometric measures were similar between the two study groups. The levels of vitamin D were also comparable (77 (64–91) vs. 74 (60–92) nmol/L, p = 0.50; median and interquartile range). A total of 38 (13%) and 43 (9.8%) subjects presented insufficient (<50 nmol/L) levels of vitamin D (p = 0.42) during the current pandemic and in the CENERI study, respectively. These data do not support the hypothesis that during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, late adolescents are at higher risk of vitamin insufficiency.     

不同剂量维生素D补充在早产儿中的应用研究

目的 评估不同剂量维生素D补充对胎龄≤34周早产儿出院时维生素D水平的影响,为早产儿生后合理补充维生素D提供依据。方法 选择2019年1月—2020年6月在博罗县妇幼保健计划生育服务中心出生的胎龄≤34周早产儿67例,在完全肠内喂养后开始口服维生素D,并随机分为维生素D低剂量组(n=32)和高剂量组(n=35),比较两组患儿出院时25(OH)D水平、维生素D缺乏/不足的比例及相关不良反应发生率。结果 两组患儿出生时脐带血25(OH)D水平、维生素D缺乏/不足发生率比较,差异无统计学意义(P＞0.05);出院时高剂量组血清25(OH)D水平明显高于低剂量组、维生素D缺乏/不足发生率明显低于低剂量组(t=2.872、χ²=4.189,P＜0.05),但高剂量组出院时维生素D缺乏/不足发生率仍为28.6%。结论 对于胎龄≤34周的早产儿,给予补充维生素D 800 U/d可明显改善患儿出院时维生素D缺乏或不足的情况,但对于胎龄更小、出生体重更低的超低出生体重儿,可能需要更大剂量的维生素D补充。

The Functional Status of the ACL in Varus OA of the Knee: The Association With Varus Deformity and Coronal Tibiofemoral Subluxation

BackgroundThe present article analyzes the association of the functional anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) status and the overall varus deformity and coronal tibiofemoral subluxation (CTFS) in varus OA of the knee.MethodsOne hundred consecutive knees with varus OA in 84 patients were prospectively included. Knees were divided into two groups, in accordance with the ACL status (functionally sufficient or insufficient). All included patients were potential candidates for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty with predominantly medial compartment OA. Knees with Kellgren/Lawrence ≥ grade 3 in the lateral compartment were excluded leaving 79 knees to be included in this study. Mechanical varus deformity and CTFS were evaluated on AP radiographs and valgus stress radiographs, and compared between the two groups.ResultsKnees with a functionally insufficient ACL had significantly more varus deformity on hip-to-ankle AP standing radiographs (P = .001) and on valgus stress radiographs (P = .017). CTFS on AP standing radiographs was significantly higher (P = .045) in knees with a functionally insufficient ACL. Seventy-three percent (8/11) of the ACL-insufficient knees had a varus deformity of ≥10° and 64% (7/11) of ACL-insufficient knees had CTFS ≥ 6mm. By contrast, only one patient (2%, 1/41) with an insufficient ACL had< 10° varus deformity and a CTFS of < 6mm.ConclusionFunctional ACL insufficiency in osteoarthritic varus knees is associated with greater varus deformity and more advanced CTFS. Seventy-three percent of ACL-insufficient knees had a varus deformity of ≥10° and 64% of ACL-insufficient knees a CTFS of ≥ 6mm. In the work-up for medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, functional ACL insufficiency is likely in knees with varus deformity of ≥10° and CTFS of ≥ 6mm.
