不同鼠龄小鼠骨折愈合过程中钙沉积变化

本实验采用~(45)Ca液闪技术,测定骨折后不同天数的幼年小鼠和成年小鼠在注射~(45)Ca-氯化钙后24 h,各骨段~(45)Ca沉积量,发现:1.幼年小鼠各骨段中钙的沉积量均高于成年小鼠;2.右股骨中段骨折后,骨折股骨中段的钙沉积量急剧升高;健侧股骨上、中、下三段,骨折股骨上段及左右胫骨上段的钙沉积量则逐渐下降而骨折股骨下段的骨转换增加。说明骨折部位以外的各骨段均最大限度地调动了一切可以调动的钙,以满足骨折修复的需要。     

The treatment of hypertension

1 A 'retrospective' of the development of the drug treatment of hypertension is presented from the early days of ganglion blockers to the present time together with a review of the evidence of benefit from treatment.
2 Current issues and debates are summarised including shortfalls in the control of hypertension in populations, difficulties surrounding the measurement of blood pressure, disagreement on the levels of blood pressure to treat, the goal blood pressures to aim at, issues surrounding lifestyle measures such as the low salt diet and low intensity exercise, and treatment with diuretics and with calcium antagonists.
3 A 'perspective' is presented on some avenues for progress in the years ahead. These will include the identification of genetic markers to determine the hypertensive individuals with the greatest risk of death and of cardiovascular complications.     

Cardioprotection by nisoldipine: role of timing of administration

Nisoldipine was administered at 10^–9M, a dose lackingnegative inotropism, to isolated and perfused rabbit heartssubmitted to 60 min ischaemia (1 ml.min^–1) followed by30 min reperfusion. The drug was delivered either 30 min beforeischaemia, at the onset and after 30 min of ischaemia and duringreperfusion only. Cardiac protection was evaluated in termsof recovery of left ventricular pressure during reperfusion,release of creatine phosphokinase (CPK), mitochondrial function,tissue content of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and creatinephosphate (CP), calcium homeostasis and the occurrence of oxidativestress, established measuring content and release of reducedand oxidized glutathione. The cytoprotective action of nisoldipine occurs in the absenceof negative inotropism and is closely related to the time ofadministration. Optimal myocardial preservation is achievedwhen nisoldipine is given before or at the onset of ischaemia.Prophylactic administration of nisoldipine improved the recoveryof the developed pressure from 159±10 (SE) mmHg to 478±19mmHg, P<0.01 and reduced the release of CPK from 830±29to 229±27 mU. min^–1 g^–1 wet wt, P<0.01.The accumulation of tissue and mitochondrial calcium was reducedfrom58±11 and49±9 to 14±6 and 10±4 mmol.kg^–1 dry wt respectively, P<0.01. This resulted ina signficant (P<0.01) preservation of all indices of mitochondrialfunction, allowing a higher recovery of ATP and CP after reperfusion(from 4.1±0.7 and 10.0±0.6 to 16.1±1.0and 29.9±0.2 µmol.g^–1 dry wt respectively,P<0.001). Reperfusion-induced myocardial accumulation and release of oxidizedglutathione were reduced from 0.493±0.07 nmol.mg^–1protein and 0.768±0.063 nmol.min^–1g^–1 wetwt to 0.225±0.07 and 0.157±0.038 respectively,P<0.01. Similar data were obtained when nisoldipine was givenat the time of ischaemia, while administration 30 min afterthe onset of ischaemia showed only a trend towards protection.Nisoldipine lost its protective effect when given on reperfusion. A multifactorial analysis of the data suggest that the cardioprotectiveeffect of nisoldipine is related to the maintenance of membraneintegrity, possibly since nisoldipine is highly lipophilic.     

母体钙代谢与补钙对妊娠的影响

妊娠期缺钙严重影响母婴的安全健康 ,其原因是由于妊娠期母体钙代谢发生变化 ,使母体血清游离钙离子浓度降低 ,血清铅浓度增高。有关研究表明 ,母体缺钙导致血铅竞争性过高 ,使胎儿身长、体重均小于胎龄儿 ,胎儿宫内发育迟缓的发生率增高 ,甚至发生早产、死胎等。同时发现血清钙离子可能对内源性一氧化氮合成释放起调节作用 ,而内皮素是最强的缩血管物质之一 ,母体补钙可调节一氧化氮与内皮素的平衡 ,从而降低妊高征的发生率。因此孕期补充钙剂是非常重要的。     

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PLATELET CYTOSOLIC FREE CALCIUM CONCENTRATION AND PLASMA RENIN ACTIVITY

1. Plasma renin activity (PRA) and platelet cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) were simultaneously determined in 18 untreated essential hypertensive subjects and 17 normotensive controls. A significant positive correlation was found between [Ca2+]i and PRA (slope = 42 nmol/l/ng/ml/h) in these 35 subjects. 2. Two determinations more than one week apart in nine subjects confirmed the parallel fluctuations of [Ca2+]i and PRA. A strict sodium restriction produced a progressive PRA elevation associated with a parallel rise in [Ca2+]i in one subject. 3. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that angiotensin II causes a concentration-dependent calcium mobilization.

Inter-relations between the calcium set-points of Parfitt and Brown in primary hyperparathyroidism: a sequential citrate and calcium clamp study

Abstract. The objective of the present study was to compare the calcium set-points of E. M. Brown and A. M. Parfitt obtained by sequential citrate and calcium clamp in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and healthy controls. Twenty-six patients with primary hyperparathyroidism were investigated and compared to 22 healthy volunteers. All participants were investigated by sequential calcium lowering and raising comprising the following four phases: Phase (1) blood ionized calcium lowering of about 0·20 mmol l^-1; phase (2) steady-state (relative) hypocalcaemia of blood ionized calcium 0·20 mmol l^-1 below baseline; phase (3) blood ionized calcium is raised to about 0·20 mmol l^-1 above baseline; and phase (4) (relative) hypercalcaemia of blood ionized calcium 0·20 mmol l^-1 above baseline. Serum parathyroid hormone (1–84) was measured by an immunoradiometric assay. Blood ionized calcium was measured by a calcium selective electrode. We found the calcium set-points of Parfitt to be 1·42 mmol l^-1 (SD 0·12, n= 52) vs. 1·25 mmol l^-1 (SD 0·04, n= 44) in patients and controls, respectively (P < 0·001). The calcium set-points of Brown were 1·32 mmol l^-1 (SD 0·10, n= 26) vs. 1·13 mmol l^-1 (SD 0·04, n= 22), respectively (P < 0·001). By comparing the calcium set-points of Parfitt and Brown, a strikingly good correlation was observed, in patients (r= 0·91, P < 0·001) and in controls (r= 0·85, P < 0·001). We demonstrate in this paper in vivo that Brown's and Parfitt's calcium set-points are raised in primary hyperparathyroidism and return to normal following parathyroidectomy. The values for Brown's and Parfitt's calcium set-points are significantly different, but strikingly well correlated, supporting the view that Brown and Parfitt describe two different points on the same sigmoidal curve, corresponding to 50% and about 85% inhibition of PTH maximum, respectively. The mathematical form of the sigmoidal curve between blood ionized calcium and parathyroid hormone is very similar in primary hyperparathyroidism and normal humans.

Sevelamer hydrochloride with or without alphacalcidol or higher dialysate calcium vs calcium carbonate in dialysis patients: an open-label, randomized study.

BACKGROUND: Sevelamer hydrochloride was recently proposed as a phosphate binder to prevent hypercalcaemia in place of calcium alkaline salts in dialysis patients. So far, it has been evaluated only in patients receiving calcitriol, without comparison with CaCO(3) alone, although the latter was found to be as effective as the combination of calcitriol and Al(OH)(3) in suppressing parathyroid hormone (PTH) without inducing hypercalcaemia and to have a better lowering effect on serum phosphate. Moreover, this bile salt binder may decrease serum 25-OH vitamin D. Therefore, we compared for 5 months two strategies for controlling moderate hyperparathyroidism: CaCO(3) alone vs sevelamer in conjunction with measures to increase calcium balance. METHODS: Forty-two patients were randomized: 21 continued their treatment with 4.8 g/day CaCO(3) and 21 were switched to sevelamer (initial dose: 2.4 g/day, increased to 4.4 g/day). Each month, when serum-corrected calcium decreased below 2.30 mmol/l, dialysate calcium was increased or alphacalcidol was given at each dialysis session, according to serum PO(4) levels. The following parameters were monitored: serum Ca, PO(4), bicarbonate and protein, weekly; and serum PTH, 25-OH vitamin D and total, LDL and HDL cholesterol monthly. RESULTS: Except for higher serum phosphate at month 1, lower serum bicarbonate at month 2 and lower LDL cholesterol at month 5 in the sevelamer group, no difference was found between the two groups. Compared with baseline levels, PTH increased and 25-OH vitamin D decreased significantly in both groups, these two parameters being inversely correlated. CONCLUSIONS: Given comparable control of plasma calcium, phosphate and 25-OH vitamin D, PTH control is comparable in both strategies. Sevelamer does not induce greater vitamin D depletion than CaCO(3). The transient decrease of serum bicarbonate after discontinuation of CaCO(3) in the sevelamer group suggests a less optimal prevention of acidosis. The sevelamer-induced decrease in LDL cholesterol gives this drug a potential advantage in cardiovascular prevention.
