A new approach to the application of solid phase extraction disks with LC-MS/MS for the analysis of drugs on a 96-well plate format

A new 96-well disk solid phase extraction sample preparation technique which does not involve vacuum pumps integrated with liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric (LC–MS/MS) was developed for high throughput determination of benzodiazepines (nordiazepam, diazepam, lorazepam and oxazepam). In addition, the method completely allows the re-use of the SPE disk membranes for subsequent analyses after re-conditioning. The method utilizes a robotic autosampler for parallel extractions in a 96-well plate format. Results have been presented for independent extractions from three matrices; phosphate buffer solution, urine, and plasma. Factors affecting data reproducibility, extraction kinetics, sample throughput, and reliability of the system were investigated and optimized. A total time required per sample was 0.94 min using 96-well format. Method reproducibility was ≤9% relative standard deviation for all three matrices. Limits of detection and quantitation recorded were respectively in the range 0.02–0.15 and 0.2–2.0 ng/mL with linearity ranging from 0.2 to 500 ng/mL for all matrices.     

Does the thickness of the vertebral subchondral bone reflect the composition of the intervertebral disc?

Degeneration of the intervertebral disc, seen radiologically as loss of disc height, is often associated with apparent remodelling in the adjacent vertebral body. In contrast, maintenance or apparent increase in disc height is a common finding in osteoporosis, suggesting the properties of the intervertebral disc may be dependent on those of the vertebral body or vice versa. We have investigated this relationship by measuring the radiological thickness of the subchondral bone and comparing it to the chemical composition of the adjacent disc. Sagittal slabs were sampled from lumbar spines obtained at autopsy and X-rayed microfocally. The thickness of the subchondral bone was measured and correlated with the composition of the adjacent intervertebral disc. Eighty-three cadaveric endplates were studied from individuals aged 17–85 years. There was regional variation in thickness of the subchondral bone, being greater adjacent to the annulus than the nucleus, and the endplates cranial to the disc were thicker than those caudal. There was a positive correlation between the thickness of the subchondral bone and the proteoglycan content of the adjacent disc, particularly in the region of the nucleus. A weaker correlation was seen here between water content and thickness, whilst there was no significant correlation at the annulus or between the bone thickness and collagen content. The positive relationship between the radiographic thickness of vertebral subchondral bone and the proteoglycan content of the adjacent disc seen in human cadaveric material could be due to the bone responding to a greater hydrostatic pressure being exerted by discs with higher proteoglycan content than by those with less proteoglycan present. It is suggested that while this is true in normal specimens, the relationship becomes altered in disease states, possibly because of changes to the nutritional pathway of the disc, with resultant endplate-bone remodelling affecting the flow of solutes to and from the intervertebral disc.

Enhanced prolylhydroxylase activity in the posterior annulus fibrosus of canine intervertebral discs following long-term running exercise

Summary The effect of long-term exercise on the intervertebral disc collagen concentration (hydroxyproline), collagen-synthesizing enzymes (prolyl-4-hydroxylase, PH, and galactosyl-hydroxylysyl glucosyltransferase, GGT) and hydroxypyridinium crosslinks was studied in ten female beagle dogs. The dogs were run on a treadmill for 1 year starting at the age of 15 weeks. The daily running distance was gradually increased to 40 km, which distance the dogs ran for the final 15 weeks. Ten untrained dogs from the same breeding colony served as controls. The nucleus pulposus and anterior and posterior halves of the annulus fibrosus of C2–3, T10–12, L4–5 disc segments were analysed. Crosslinks were measured from the anterior annulus fibrosus of the T10–11 disc. Hydroxyproline and hydroxypyridinium concentrations remained similar in both groups. PH and GGT were significantly elevated by running in the posterior annulus fibrosus of the thoracic and lumbar discs and in the lumbar nucleus pulposus. In the thoracic nucleus pulposus GGT was reduced significantly. The results suggest activated collagen metabolism in the posterior annulus fibrosus of the thoracic and lumbar discs as a result of locally increased strains on the spine.The research was carried out at the Department of Anatomy, University of Kuopio     

Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD)

Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) is a new technique for the decompression of the lumbar disc space and removal of nucleus pulposus via a posterolateral approach. The technique was introduced in Germany by the authors in April 1987. The method is indicated in patients with non-equestrated lumbar disc herniation with an intact lorsal longitudinal ligament. In local anesthesia, a working cannula (OD 5 mm) is placed at the dorsal lateral border of the disc. The disc space is opened with anulus trephines and the nucleus pulposus is removed with rigid and flexible forceps as well as with automated shaver systems under intermittent endoscopic control (discoscopy). The procedure is performed in local anesthesia. The results of the first thirty patients with a follow-up time between 6 months and 17 months could be graded as excellent in 13 cases, as good in 9 cases, as fair in 6 cases, and as bad in 2 cases. The relief of symptoms as judged by the patients was between 70–100 percent in the majority of the cases. Three patients had to be reoperated at the same level and site, because of either persistent or recurrent sciatica. The performance in local anesthesia, the atraumatic extraspinal approach, the reduced time of hospitalization and post-operative morbidity as well as the reduced time of work incapability are the main advantages of this new method.

Contrast enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of recurrent disc herniation

Summary A positive result of re-operation in patients with recurrent symptoms after lumbar disc surgery is likely only if a new disc herniation is present. An improved ability to differentiate between recurrent disc herniation and scar tissue by contrast enhanced CT and MRI is suggested in earlier studies.In a prospective study 29 patients were selected for operation for suspected recurrent disc herniation. The inclusion of the patients was based on clinical symptoms and signs and myelography or non-enhanced CT. All patients were examined by CT and MRI both with and without intravenous contrast pre-operatively. The examinations were evaluated blind on a five point scale and statistical analysed by a regret function.Intravenous contrast improved the diagnostic power of both CT and MRI. MRI was superior to CT in both non-enhanced and enhanced examinations. MRI with intravenous contrast enhancement is proposed as the primary examination in patients with suspected recurrent disc herniation.     

Relative stiffness, transverse displacement and dynamization in comparable external fixators

Several unilateral external fixators were laboratory tested under applied axial, bending, and torsional loads. In certain cases the shear movement at the fracture site was substantial, up to 4 mm, and in all cases it was as significant as axial displacement. Also, under average full weight bearing, all the fixator/bone screw frameworks will allow too much axial movement at the fracture. This could inhibit healing and cause peak bone and screw stresses to approach yield.
