Short-term and long-term results after early treatment with the castillo morales stimulating plate

The present study is divided into 2 parts: The first explains the concept of stimulating plate therapy at the Muenster Clinic and the second presents a longitudinal study of mouth and tongue posture in trisomy 21 children treated with this concept.47 children underwent a pre-treatment examination (Rec1), and 38 attended a first follow-up examination (Rec2) after an average of 4 months of stimulating plate treatment. The second follow-up examination (Rec3) was on average 53 months after the end of treatment and covered 18 patients. Data acquisition was based on standardized parent questionnaires and standardized clinical examination records. Rec2 showed in part a highly significant improvement in orofacial appearance. These results were confirmed by the parent interview, according to which the mouth and tongue posture improved in 76.3% of the children during the time they were wearing the plate. Even when the plate was not in place, the result remained stable in 65.8% of the patients. Up to Rec3, further improvement was recorded in some results. The symptoms: mouth mostly wide open and tongue mostly protruding way over lips were reduced. The number of children whose tongue was mostly in the oral cavity increased correspondingly.At Rec3, the parents also rated the mouth posture in 88.9% and the tongue posture in 77.7% of the children as stable or further improved.It can be concluded from the results of this study that stimulating plate treatment in combination with physiotherapy provides a long-term improvement in the mouth and tongue posture of children with Down's syndrome.

Preservation of the non-rectangular cuticular plate/cell axis angle of outer hair cells

Motile properties of outer hair cells (OHCs) may contribute to sharp tuning and amplification in the mammalian cochlea. Shape changes of isolated OHCs in response to various physical and chemical influences have been investigated intensively. However, determinations of shape may have been influenced by unanticipated effects of preparation and preservation of the OHCs investigated. Thus, in a first step, lengths of freshly isolated OHCs from the guinea pig cochlea were determined using a video-enhancing magnification system. The cuticular plate/cell axis angle (CP/CA angle) was then measured in native cells and under the influence of potassium chloride and potassium gluconate incubation. To show the influence of glutaraldehyde (GA) fixation on the isolated OHCs, fixative dependent changes on cell length and CP/CA angle were recorded in native and preincubated OHCs. In these experiments, the cell length of vital isolated OHCs was between 41.5 m, in the basal turn, and 103.7 m, in the apical turn. The average CP/CA angle was 106° ± 4.2° (n = 324 cells, turns 1–4) with no statistically significant differences for the four turns. Under the influence of potassium chloride, cell length was reduced by 8.1%. Potassium gluconate incubation led to a shortening of cell length, followed by a 5.3% increase after 5 min. The CP/CA angle under potassium chloride was decreased (97.0°) and was then increased under the influence of potassium gluconate (110.7°) as a result of cuticular plate tilting. Cell shrinkage after fixation depended on the fixative's osmolarity and on the GA concentration. Increased GA levels amplified cell shrinkage from 34% for hypo-osmolar solutions to 15% in iso-osmolar and 29% in hyperosmolar solutions. The CP/CA angle of native and incubated OHCs was not different from those fixed with GA. The present data provide a rational basis for isolated OHC shape parameters. Moreover, functionally induced changes can be better interpreted when OHCs are influenced by fixatives, as shown in the GA experiments.     

Formation of “neo-cortex” in a congenital human teratoma

Summary A congenital human teratoma contained a neuroectodermal mass with architectonic features similar to those of the normal developing neo-cortex. Surrounding a central cavity, a germinal, an intermediate and a cortical zone were clearly distinguishable from innermost to outermost. Glial fibers coursed radially through the intermediate and cortical zones. In the cortical plate neuronal elements were oriented radially with an inside out gradient of differentiation. Mesothelial tissue covered the outer surfaces of the cortex. Over limited sectors a gap in the integrity of the meso-glial barrier were associated with neuroglial ectopias.The following points are of neurobiologic importance: the formation of the miniature cerebral cortex occurred in the absence of any influence of afferent subcortical fibers. The radial alignment of glial fibers between the germinal pseudostratified epithelium and the outer surface occurred only in sectors of the neuro-ectodermal mass where a neo-cortex was present, and may therefore have been a critical determinant in the formation of the cortical plate. The integrity of the outer glial mesenchymal barrier may be necessary for the normal arrangement of cortical neurons.     

Growth plate injury of the long bones in treated β-thalassemia

In 12 patients affected by thalassemia major who received an intensive transfusion regimen combined with continuous iron chelation therapy (desferrioxamine 50–80 mg/kg daily), radiologic abnormalities of the long bones were observed similar to those observed in rickets and scurvy. These abnormalities were associated with a growth retardation. The pathogenesis of these lesions is uncertain, but probably the toxic effect of desferrioxamine plays an important role in their development. A relative deficiency of vitamins D and/or C cannot be entirely excluded.

2-Methoxyestradiol Inhibits Longitudinal Bone Growth in Normal Female Rats

2-Methoxyestradiol (2-MeO-E₂), a major metabolite of 17β-estradiol, may function as a physiological tumor suppressor and is being investigated for clinical applications. It has been reported to target rapidly dividing cells. We investigated the effects of 2-MeO-E₂ on the growth plate of young rats because normal longitudinal bone growth requires rapid proliferation of cartilage and endothelial cells. Sexually mature (3-month-old) normal female rats were treated with 2-MeO-E₂ (100 mg/kg/day) for 13 days and it was found to have no effect on uterine weight but reduced serum cholesterol. The estrogen metabolite had no effect on either cortical or cancellous bone. In contrast, 2-MeO-E₂ dramatically reduced longitudinal bone growth rate at the proximal tibia from 55 ± 2 to 20 ± 2 μm/day (P < 0.001) and growth plate thickness from 153 ± 14 to 70 ± 6 μm (P < 0.001). The latter decrease was due to significant reductions in the height of both the proliferative (P < 0.001) and the hypertrophic (P < 0.001) zones. These results in normal female rats demonstrate that 2-MeO-E₂ inhibited longitudinal bone growth but had no effect on either radial bone growth or cancellous bone turnover. 2-MeO-E₂ was shown by these studies to have the ability to discriminate between bone and cartilage, as well as between reproductive and nonreproductive estrogen-target tissues. Thus, 2-MeO-E₂ is a naturally produced estrogen metabolite that demonstrates unique tissue selectivity. Received: 21 July 1999 / Accepted: 12 January 2000     

关节－干骺端软骨细胞移植修复兔桡骨缺损

目的研究组织工程软骨移植于成年兔桡骨缺损后的生长、分化与转归特点,以及引导性骨再生和骨缺损的修复机制。方法取自一日龄新生兔关节－干骺端复合物的软骨细胞在几丁质纤维网中增殖21d后装入硅胶管内,套接在成年兔桡骨干1cm的缺损处（实验组12只）;对照组10只在缺损处套接空硅胶管,2只仅填入裸几丁质纤维。术后4周两组各处死3只动物取材,其余在术后16周取材。结果实验组术后4周3只动物的工程软骨组织在骨缺损内形成软骨样组织,术后16周9只动物中有2只动物的缺损愈合。对照组术后4周已开始骨愈合,术后16周9只动物的骨缺损全部愈合。结论新生兔关节－干骺端复合物的软骨细胞在成年兔桡骨缺损区（套管内）未肥大钙化,未再现软骨内化骨过程。缺损内的工程软骨可能因占据空间、阻碍成骨成分进入而中断了骨缺损修复过程。引导性骨再生的机制可能是人工膜管加强了骨膜的天然引导作用而促进了骨愈合。
