To establish a causal role for locally produced IGF-I in the mechanical strain response in the bone, we have generated mice with conditional disruption of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I gene in type 1α(2) collagen-expressing cells using the Cre-loxP approach. At 10 wk of age, loads adjusted to account for bone size difference were applied via four-point bending or axial loading (AL) in mice. Two wk of bending and AL produced significant increases in bone mineral density and bone size at the middiaphysis of wild-type (WT), but not knockout (KO), mice. In addition, AL produced an 8-25% increase in trabecular parameters (bone volume-tissue volume ratio, trabecular thickness, and trabecular bone mineral density) at the secondary spongiosa of WT, but not KO, mice. Histomorphometric analysis at the trabecular site revealed that AL increased osteoid width by 60% and decreased tartrate-resistance acidic phosphatase-labeled surface by 50% in the WT, but not KO, mice. Consistent with the in vivo data, blockade of IGF-I action with inhibitory IGF-binding protein (IGFBP4) in vitro completely abolished the fluid flow stress-induced MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation. One-way ANOVA revealed that expression levels of EFNB1, EFNB2, EFNA2, EphB2, and NR4a3 were different in the loaded bones of WT vs. KO mice and may, in part, be responsible for the increase in bone response to loading in the WT mice. In conclusion, IGF-I expressed in type 1 collagen-producing bone cells is critical for converting mechanical signal to anabolic signal in bone, and other growth factors cannot compensate for the loss of local IGF-I. 相似文献

Receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL), produced by osteoblastic lineage cells and activated T cells, is an essential factor for osteoclast differentiation, activation, and survival. Therefore, RANKL is a focal point of therapies targeting bone diseases where there is an imbalance of bone metabolism in favor of bone resorption. The present study assesses the effects of exogenous RANKL on growing bone. RANKL (100 microg x kg-1x day-1 for 7 days) administered to Sprague-Dawley weanling rats caused major deficits in growth, appearance, and bone mineral densities (BMD). Urinary deoxypyridinoline crosslinks, a measure of bone turnover, were higher in the RANKL-treated rats (P = 0.031), and the bone mineral content was lower (P < 0.001). The final BMD in the RANKL-treated rats was lower (P = 0.039) than in the control rats (19 +/- 7 vs. 38 +/- 5 mg/cm3). Moreover, calculated cortical bone density in each bone slice (total BMD - trabecular BMD) indicated there was only 5% cortical bone remaining in RANKL-treated rats. We conclude that therapies targeting RANKL are likely to have effects on cortical as well as trabecular bone density. 相似文献

The ability to determine trabecular bone tissue elastic and failure properties has biological and clinical importance. To date, trabecular tissue yield strains remain unknown due to experimental difficulties, and elastic moduli studies have reported controversial results. We hypothesized that the elastic and tensile and compressive yield properties of trabecular tissue are similar to those of cortical tissue. Effective tissue modulus and yield strains were calibrated for cadaveric human femoral neck specimens taken from 11 donors, using a combination of apparent-level mechanical testing and specimen-specific, high-resolution, nonlinear finite element modeling. The trabecular tissue properties were then compared to measured elastic modulus and tensile yield strain of human femoral diaphyseal cortical bone specimens obtained from a similar cohort of 34 donors. Cortical tissue properties were obtained by statistically eliminating the effects of vascular porosity. Results indicated that mean elastic modulus was 10% lower (p<0.05) for the trabecular tissue (18.0+/-2.8 GPa) than for the cortical tissue (19.9+/-1.8 GPa), and the 0.2% offset tensile yield strain was 15% lower for the trabecular tissue (0.62+/-0.04% vs. 0.73+/-0.05%, p<0.001). The tensile-compressive yield strength asymmetry for the trabecular tissue, 0.62 on average, was similar to values reported in the literature for cortical bone. We conclude that while the elastic modulus and yield strains for trabecular tissue are just slightly lower than those of cortical tissue, because of the cumulative effect of these differences, tissue strength is about 25% greater for cortical bone. 相似文献

This study was conducted to assess the effects of long-term ingestion of moderate excesses of vitamin A on trabecular bone remodeling in the fifth lumbar vertebral body of aged rats. Eighteen-month-old rats were fed diets with vitamin A content equal to the daily requirement (DR), 2-fold, and 5-fold the DR along with calcium content of either the DR or 0.3-fold the DR, for 14 months each. As expected, serum concentrations of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D were higher in the reduced than in the normal calcium intake groups (65.1 +/- 2.4 SEM vs 47.8 +/- 2.1 pg/ml, P less than 0.001). Calcium balance was more positive at the higher than the lower calcium intake (5.7 vs 0.9 mg, P less than 0.001) but was unaffected by vitamin A intake. Histomorphometric analysis of the fifth lumbar vertebral body revealed that the 2-fold but not the 5-fold excess in vitamin A intake resulted in a 15% increase in percentage of trabecular bone (P less than 0.02). The low calcium diet depressed bone growth (total bone tissue) but did not affect percentage of trabecular bone. Several effects of the vitamin A excess and low calcium diet were noted along the trabecular surface including increased mineral apposition rate and resorption surfaces and decreased formation surfaces. The net effect of vitamin A on trabecular bone of the rat varies as intake begins to exceed the DR. At a 2-fold excess, a modest favorable effect on percentage of trabecular bone was observed. 相似文献

Effects of long-term tennis loading on volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and geometric properties of playing-arm radius were examined. Paired forearms of 16 tennis players (10 women) and 12 healthy controls (7 women), aged 18-24 yr, were scanned at mid and distal site by using peripheral quantitative computerized tomography. Tomographic data at midradius showed that tennis playing led to a slight decrease in cortical vBMD (-0.8% vs. nonplaying arm, P < 0. 05) and increase both in periosteal and endocoritcal bone area (+15. 2% for periosteal bone, P < 0.001; and +18.8% for endocortical bone, P < 0.001). These data suggest that, together with an increase in cortical thickness (+6.4%, P < 0.01), cortical drift toward periosteal direction resulted in improvement of mechanical characteristics of the playing-arm midradius. Enlargement of periosteal bone area was also observed at distal radius (+6.8%, P < 0.01), and the relative side-to-side difference in periosteal bone area was inversely related to that in trabecular vBMD (r = -0.53, P < 0.05). We conclude that an improvement of mechanical properties of young adult bone in response to long-term exercise is related to geometric adaptation but less to changes in vBMD. 相似文献

Polycythemia and vascular remodeling in chronic hypoxic pulmonary hypertension in guinea pigs. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Chronic hypoxia increases pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) as a result of vasoconstriction, polycythemia, and vascular remodeling with medial thickening. To determine whether preventing the polycythemia with repeated bleeding would diminish the pulmonary hypertension and remodeling, we compared hemodynamic and histological profiles in hypoxic bled (HB, n = 6) and hypoxic polycythemic guinea pigs (H, n = 6). After 10 days in hypoxia (10% O2), PAP was increased from 10 +/- 1 (SE) mmHg in room air controls (RA, n = 5) to 20 +/- 1 mmHg in H (P less than 0.05) but was lower in HB (15 +/- 1 mmHg, P less than 0.05 vs. H). Cardiac output and pulmonary artery vasoreactivity did not differ among groups. Total pulmonary vascular resistance increased from 0.072 +/- 0.011 mmHg.ml-1.min in RA to 0.131 mmHg.ml-1.min in H but was significantly lower in HB (0.109 +/- 0.006 mmHg.ml-1.min). Hematocrit increased with hypoxia (57 +/- 3% in H vs. 42 +/- 1% in RA, P less than 0.05), and bleeding prevented the increase (46 +/- 4% in HB, P less than 0.05 vs. H only). The proportion of thick-walled peripheral pulmonary vessels (53.2 +/- 2.9% in HB and 50.6 +/- 4.8% in H vs. 31.6 +/- 2.6% in RA, P less than 0.05) and the percent medial thickness of pulmonary arteries adjacent to alveolar ducts (7.2 +/- 0.6% in HB and 7.0 +/- 0.4% in H vs. 5.2 +/- 0.4% in RA, P less than 0.05) increased to a similar degree in both hypoxic groups. A similar tendency was present in larger bronchiolar vessels.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Using analyses of iliac crest cell and tissue, back-scattered electron imaging, and biochemical techniques, we characterized the effects of a 14-day spaceflight (Bion 11) on bone structure and bone formation in two 3- to 4-yr-old male rhesus monkeys compared with eight age-matched Earth-control monkeys. We found that postflight bone volume was 35% lower than preflight values in flight monkeys. This was associated with reduced osteoid (-40%) and mineralizing (-32%) surfaces and decreased bone formation rate (-53%). Moreover, flight monkeys exhibited trends to lower values of mineralization profile in iliac bone (back-scattered electron imaging) and to decreased osteocalcin serum levels (P = 0.08). The initial number of trabecular bone cells yielded in cultures did not differ in flight and control animals before or after the flight. However, osteoblastic cell proliferation was markedly lower in postflight vs. preflight at 9 and 14 days of culture in one flight monkey. This study suggests that a 14-day spaceflight reduces iliac bone formation, osteoblastic activity, and/or recruitment in young rhesus monkeys, resulting in decreased trabecular bone volume. 相似文献

Despite decades of research, there are few effective ways to treat ventricular fibrillation (VF), ventricular tachycardia (VT), or cardiac ischemia that show a significant survival benefit. Our aim was to investigate the combined therapeutic effect of two common antiarrhythmic compounds, adenosine and lidocaine (AL), on mortality, arrhythmia frequency and duration, and infarct size in the rat model of regional ischemia. Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 49) were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (60 mg.ml(-1).kg(-1) i.p.) and instrumented for regional coronary occlusion (30 min) and reperfusion (120 min). Heart rate, blood pressure, and a lead II electrocardiogram were recorded. Intravenous pretreatment began 5 min before ischemia and extended throughout ischemia, terminating at the start of reperfusion. After 120 min, hearts were removed for infarct size measurement. Mortality occurred in 58% of saline controls (n = 12), 50% of adenosine only (305 microg.kg(-1).min(-1), n = 8), 0% in lidocaine only (608 microg.kg(-1).min(-1), n = 8), and 0% in AL at any dose (152, 305, or 407 microg.kg(-1).min(-1) adenosine plus 608 microg.kg(-1).min(-1) lidocaine, n = 7, 8, and 6). VT occurred in 100% of saline controls (18 +/- 9 episodes), 50% of adenosine-only (11 +/- 7 episodes), 83% of lidocaine-only (23 +/- 11 episodes), 60% of low-dose AL (2 +/- 1 episodes, P < 0.05), 57% of mid-dose AL (2 +/- 1 episodes, P < 0.05), and 67% of high-dose AL rats (6 +/- 3 episodes). VF occurred in 75% of saline controls (4 +/- 3 episodes), 100% of adenosine-only-treated rats (3 +/- 2 episodes), and 33% lidocaine-only-treated rats (2 +/- 1 episodes) of the rats tested. There was no deaths and no VF in the low- and mid-dose AL-treated rats during ischemia, and only one high-dose AL-treated rat experienced VF (25.5 sec). Infarct size was lower in all AL-treated rats but only reached significance with the mid-dose treatment (saline controls 61 +/- 5% vs. 38 +/- 6%, P < 0.05). We conclude that a constant infusion of a solution containing AL virtually abolished severe arrhythmias and prevented cardiac death in an in vivo rat model of acute myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. AL combinational therapy may provide a primary prevention therapeutic window in ischemic and nonischemic regions of the heart. 相似文献

The range of fat corrected distal forearm mineral content (FMC) (at a site which comprises approximately 75% cortical and 25% trabecular bone) and the effect of aging on FMC were determined in normal premenopausal women. In 106 women (mean age 39; range 18-56) the mean FMC was 1.184 (SD 148) g/cm; fat correction increased this to 1.239 (SD 148) g/cm. There were significant correlations between fat corrected FMC and height, weight and BMI (r greater than 0.16; P less than 0.05). In 43 of these women (mean age 35; range 18-51) repeat measurements of FMC were performed. The last measurement was separated from the first by a mean time interval of 27 +/- 3 months. There was no significant change in uncorrected FMC (baseline 1.185 +/- 0.21 g/cm compared with their final measurement 1.182 +/- .020 g/cm; P = 0.51). Fat-corrected FMC (baseline 1.229 +/- .021 g/cm compared with 1.223 +/- .020 g/cm later) tended to decrease although this change was not significant (P = 0.06). Age ranked cusum analysis demonstrated a non-significant fat-corrected rate of change in FMC of -.3% yr in those over 35 years of age (P less than 0.10). This data suggests that if there is any distal forearm bone loss before the menopause it is negligible. 相似文献

Dependence of yield strain of human trabecular bone on anatomic site 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
Understanding the dependence of human trabecular bone strength behavior on anatomic site provides insight into structure-function relationships and is essential to the increased success of site-specific finite element models of whole bones. To investigate the hypothesis that the yield strains of human trabecular bone depend on anatomic site, the uniaxial tensile and compressive yield properties were compared for cylindrical specimens from the vertebra (n=61), proximal tibia (n=31), femoral greater trochanter (n=23), and femoral neck (n=27) taken from 61 donors (67+/-15years). Test protocols were used that minimized end artifacts and loaded specimens along the main trabecular orientation. Yield strains by site (mean+/-S.D.) ranged from 0.70+/-0.05% for the trochanter to 0.85+/-0.10% for the femoral neck in compression, from 0.61+/-0.05% for the trochanter to 0.70+/-0.05% for the vertebra in tension, and were always higher in compression than tension (p<0.001). The compressive yield strain was higher for the femoral neck than for all other sites (p<0.001), as was the tensile yield strain for the vertebra (p<0.007). Analysis of covariance, with apparent density as the covariate, indicated that inter-site differences existed in yield stress even after adjusting statistically for density (p<0.035). Coefficients of variation in yield strain within each site ranged from only 5-12%, consistent with the strong linear correlations (r(2)=0.94-0.98) found between yield stress and modulus. These results establish that the yield strains of human trabecular bone can differ across sites, but that yield strain may be considered uniform within a given site despite substantial variation in elastic modulus and yield stress. 相似文献

The effect of 1 Hz, 30 mT pulsed magnetic fields on young adult rat femoral metaphyseal bone thickness was assessed. Ten same litter, female Wistar rats were studied; five of them underwent 30 min magnetic stimulation sessions for 20 consecutive days. The anterior and posterior cortical, as well as trabecular bone transverse thicknesses were measured. The results obtained under clear field microscopy in stimulated and control histological cuts were (in microm) 398 +/- 32 versus 260 +/- 22 (P = 0.002), 380 +/- 68 versus 252 +/- 21 (P = 0.03), and 168 +/- 11 versus 112 +/- 11 (P = 0.002), respectively. The transcranial magnetic stimulation system, approved for human therapy, generates pulsed electromagnetic fields, which induce a significant thickness increase in cortical and trabecular in vivo stimulated bone tissues. This is the first time this effect in healthy animals is shown. 相似文献

Erythrocyte membranes of patients with liver disease are characteristically enriched in cholesterol, a change known to impair several carrier-mediated membrane transport functions. In the present study we have assessed whether experimental liver disease can affect the membrane lipid composition and transport function of kidney epithelial cells. Small (about 5%) but significant (P less than 0.01) increases were found in the cholesterol-to-phospholipid molar ratio (C/PL) of rat renal cortical brush-border membrane (BBM) vesicles 3, 8, and 15 days after bile duct ligation which correlated closely with increased fluorescence polarization, i.e., decreased membrane fluidity (r = 0.75, P less than 0.001; n = 27). A lipoprotein-mediated pathogenesis was suggested by the close relationship between BBM C/PL and plasma C/PL (r = 0.69, P less than 0.001). The mean high-affinity Na(+)-coupled D-glucose uptake by BBM vesicles was higher 1, 3, 8, and 15 days after ligation than in non-operated rats, significantly so at 3 and 8 days (611 +/- 37 and 593 +/- 22 vs. 507 +/- 21 pmol/mg protein per 4 sec; P less than 0.05), and was positively correlated with BBM C/PL (r = 0.58, P less than 0.01) and fluorescence polarization (r = 0.41, P less than 0.05). Brief incubation of BBM vesicles from normal rats with cholesterol-rich phospholipid liposomes simultaneously increased BBM C/PL and Na(+)-dependent D-glucose uptake. Stimulation of BBM Na(+)-glucose cotransport in ligated rats was not due to delayed dissipation of the Na+ gradient or to a more rapid development of membrane potential. High-affinity Na(+)-dependent D-glucose uptake kinetics in 3-day bile duct-ligated rats showed a lower Kt, without an alteration in maximum velocity, Vmax, compared to sham-operated animals (0.298 +/- 0.015 vs. 0.382 +/- 0.029 mM; P less than 0.05), whilst the binding dissociation constant, Kd of high-affinity phlorizin binding sites was reduced by ligation (0.453 +/- 0.013 vs. 0.560 +/- 0.015 microM; P less than 0.001). We conclude that an early effect of bile duct ligation is to enrich renal cortical brush-border membranes in cholesterol, thereby decreasing membrane fluidity and stimulating Na(+)-dependent D-glucose uptake by increasing the affinity of the carrier. 相似文献

High-dose testosterone enanthate (TE) may prevent hypogonadism-induced osteopenia. For this study, 3-mo-old male and female Fisher SAS rats underwent sham surgery, gonadectomy (GX), or GX plus 28 days TE administration (7.0 mg/wk). GX reduced serum sex hormones (i.e., testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, and estradiol) (P < 0.05) in both sexes and bone concentrations of testosterone (males only), and estradiol (females only). GX also elevated urine deoxypyridinoline/creatinine in both sexes and serum osteocalcin (females only), findings that are consistent with high-turnover osteopenia. GX reduced cancellous bone volume (CBV) and increased osteoid surfaces in tibia of both sexes. GX males also experienced reduced trabecular number and width and increased trabecular separation, whereas GX females experienced increased osteoblast and osteoid surfaces. Bone biomechanical characteristics remained unaffected by GX, except that femoral stiffness was reduced in females. In contrast, TE administration to GX rats elevated serum and bone androgens to supraphysiological concentrations in both sexes but altered neither serum nor bone estradiol in males. Additionally, TE did not prevent GX-induced reductions in serum or bone estradiol in females. TE also reduced markers of high-turnover osteopenia in both sexes. In males, TE prevented GX-induced changes in trabecular number and separation, CBV, and osteoid surfaces while diminishing osteoblast and osteoclast surfaces; however, these changes were not fully prevented in females. In both sexes, TE increased femoral length and femoral maximal strength to above that of Sham and GX animals while preventing the loss of femoral stiffness in females. In conclusion, TE administration appears protective of cancellous bone in male rats and augments cortical bone strength in both sexes. 相似文献

Young women are less fatigable than young men for maximal and submaximal contractions, but the contribution of supraspinal fatigue to the sex difference is not known. This study used cortical stimulation to compare the magnitude of supraspinal fatigue during sustained isometric maximal voluntary contractions (MVCs) performed with the elbow flexor muscles of young men and women. Eight women (25.6 +/- 3.6 yr, mean +/- SD) and 9 men (25.4 +/- 3.8 yr) performed six sustained MVCs (22-s duration each, separated by 10 s). Before the fatiguing contractions, the men were stronger than the women (75.9 +/- 9.2 vs. 42.7 +/- 8.0 N.m; P < 0.05) in control MVCs. Voluntary activation measured with cortical stimulation before fatigue was similar for the men and women during the final control MVC (95.7 +/- 3.0 vs. 93.3 +/- 3.6%; P > 0.05) and at the start of the fatiguing task (P > 0.05). By the end of the six sustained fatiguing MVCs, the men exhibited greater absolute and relative reductions in torque (65 +/- 3% of initial MVC) than the women (52 +/- 9%; P < 0.05). The increments in torque (superimposed twitch) generated by motor cortex stimulation during each 22-s maximal effort increased with fatigue (P < 0.05). Superimposed twitches were similar for men and women throughout the fatiguing task (5.5 +/- 4.1 vs. 7.3 +/- 4.7%; P > 0.05), as well as in the last sustained contraction (7.8 +/- 5.9 vs. 10.5 +/- 5.5%) and in brief recovery MVCs. Voluntary activation determined using an estimated control twitch was similar for the men and women at the start of the sustained maximal contractions (91.4 +/- 7.4 vs. 90.4 +/- 6.8%, n = 13) and end of the sixth contraction (77.2 +/- 13.3% vs. 73.1 +/- 19.6%, n = 10). The increase in the area of the motor-evoked potential and duration of the silent period did not differ for men and women during the fatiguing task. However, estimated resting twitch amplitude and the peak rates of muscle relaxation showed greater relative reductions at the end of the fatiguing task for the men than the women. These results indicate that the sex difference in fatigue of the elbow flexor muscles is not explained by a difference in supraspinal fatigue in men and women but is largely due to a sex difference of mechanisms located within the elbow flexor muscles. 相似文献

Animal studies suggest that bone remodeling is under beta-adrenergic control via the sympathetic nervous system. To our knowledge, the impact of beta-agonist substances, at doping doses, has not been studied in adult rats. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of salbutamol injections with or without treadmill exercise on trabecular and cortical bone in adult rats. Adult (36 wk of age) female Wistar rats (n = 56) were treated with salbutamol (3 mg.kg(-1).day(-1) sc, 5 days/wk) or vehicle (sham) with or without subsequent treadmill exercise (13 m/min, 60 min/day, 5 days/wk) for 10 wk. Tibial and femoral bone mineral density was analyzed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Metaphysic trabecular bone structure was analyzed by micro-CT at the time of the animals' death. Bone cell activities were assessed histomorphometrically. After 10 wk, the increase in bone mineral density was less in salbutamol-treated than in sham rats (+3.3% vs. +12.4%, P < 0.05), and trabecular parameters were altered and bone resorption was increased in salbutamol-treated rats compared with controls. The negative effect on bone architecture in salbutamol-treated rats persisted, even with treadmill exercise. These results confirm the deleterious effect of beta(2)-agonists on bone mass during chronic treatment and describe its effects on bone mechanical properties in adult rats. Bone loss occurred independently of a salbutamol-induced anabolic effect on muscle mass and was equally severe in sedentary and exercising rats, despite a beneficial effect of exercise on the extrinsic and intrinsic energy to ultimate strain. These bone effects may have important consequences in athletes who use salbutamol as a doping substance. 相似文献

We have previously shown that an intravenous infusion of adenosine and lidocaine (AL) solution protects against death and severe arrhythmias and reduces infarct size in the in vivo rat model of regional ischemia. The aim of this study was to examine the relative changes of myocardial high-energy phosphates (ATP and PCr) and pH in the left ventricle during ischemia-reperfusion using 31P NMR in AL-treated rats (n = 7) and controls (n = 6). The AL solution (A: 305 microg.(kg body mass)-1.min-1; L: 608 microg.(kg body mass)-1.min-1) was administered intravenously 5 min before and during 30 min coronary artery ligation. Two controls died from ventricular fibrillation; no deaths were recorded in AL-treated rats. In controls that survived, ATP fell to 73% +/- 29% of baseline by 30 min ischemia and decreased further to 68% +/- 28% during reperfusion followed by a sharp recovery at the end of the reperfusion period. AL-treated rats maintained relatively constant ATP throughout ischemia and reperfusion ranging from 95% +/- 6% to 121% +/- 10% of baseline. Owing to increased variability in controls, these results were not found to be significant. In contrast, control [PCr] was significantly reduced in controls compared with AL-treated rats during ischemia at 10 min (68% +/- 7% vs. 99% +/- 6%), at 15 min (68% +/- 10% vs. 93% +/- 2%), and at 20 min (67% +/- 15% vs. 103% +/- 5%) and during reperfusion at 10 min (56% +/- 22% vs. 99% +/- 7%), at 15 min (60% +/- 10% vs. 98% +/- 7%), and at 35 min (63% +/- 14% vs. 120% +/- 11%) (p < 0.05). Interestingly, changes in intramyocardial pH between each group were not significantly different during ischemia and fell by about 1 pH unit to 6.6. During reperfusion, pH in AL-treated rats recovered to baseline in 5 min but not in controls, which recovered to only around pH 7.1. There was no significant difference in the heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and rate-pressure product between the controls and AL treatment during ischemia and reperfusion. We conclude that AL cardioprotection appears to be associated with the preservation of myocardial high-energy phosphates, downregulation of the heart at the expense of a high acid-load during ischemia, and with a rapid recovery of myocardial pH during reperfusion. 相似文献

Nine of 24 patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis were found to have evidence of moderate to severe bone disease. Two had bone pain and muscle weakness and two had pseudofractures. Eight of the nine were treated with dihydrotachysterol (DHT), 0.25 to 0.375 mg/d initially, but four required doses between 0.5 and 1.0 mg/d. Ther serum alkaline phosphatase value decreased in all patients and returned to normal in six. The bone pain and muscle weakness resolved and the pseudofractures healed. Bone biopsies in six patients before and after initiation of treatment with DHT showed that the osteoid area decreased significantly from 29.6 +/- 22.8% (mean +/- standard deviation) to 11.5 +/- 7.5% (P less than 0.025) and the resorptive surface decreased in all patients. DHT, in doses of up to 1.0 mg/d, is effective in treating both the osteitis fibrosa and the osteomalacic components of bone disease in patients undergoing hemodialysis. 相似文献

In the context of reconciling the mechanical properties of trabecular bone measured from in vitro mechanical testing with the true in situ behavior, recent attention has focused on the "side-artifact" which results from interruption of the trabecular network along the sides of machined specimens. The objective of this study was to compare the magnitude of the side-artifact error for measurements of elastic modulus vs. yield stress and to determine the dependence of these errors on anatomic site and trabecular micro-architecture. Using a series of parametric variations on micro-CT-based finite element models of trabecular bone from the human vertebral body (n=24) and femoral neck (n=10), side-artifact correction factors were quantified as the ratio of the side-artifact-free apparent mechanical property to the corresponding property measured in a typical experiment. The mean (+/-SD) correction factors for yield stress were 1.32+/-0.17 vs. 1.20+/-0.11 for the vertebral body and femoral neck (p<0.05), respectively, and the corresponding factors for modulus were 1.24+/-0.09 vs. 1.10+/-0.04 (p<0.0001). Correction factors were greater for yield stress than modulus (p<0.003), but no anatomic site effect was detected (p>0.29) after accounting for variations in bone volume fraction (BV/TV). Approximately 30-55% of the variation in the correction factors for modulus and yield stress could be accounted for by BV/TV or micro-architecture, representing an appreciable systematic component of the error. Although some scatter in the correction factor-BV/TV relationships may confound accurate correction of modulus and yield stress for individual specimens, side-artifact correction is nonetheless essential for obtaining accurate mean estimates of modulus and yield stress for a cohort of specimens. We conclude that appreciation and correction for the differential effects of the side-artifact in modulus vs. yield stress and their dependence on BV/TV may improve the interpretation of measured elastic and failure properties for trabecular bone. 相似文献

Rabbits fed low-fat, cholesterol-free, semi-purified diets containing casein developed a marked hypercholesterolemia compared to rabbits fed a similar diet containing soy protein (plasma cholesterol 281 +/- 31 vs. 86 +/- 9 mg/dl; P less than 0.05). Turnover studies (three per dietary group) were carried out in which homologous 125I-labeled VLDL and 131I-labeled LDL were injected simultaneously into casein- (n = 8) or soy protein- (n = 9) fed rabbits. ApoB-specific activities were determined in VLDL, IDL and LDL isolated from the pooled plasma of two or three rabbits per dietary group. The production rate of VLDL apoB (1.20 +/- 0.3 vs. 1.09 +/- 0.1 mg/h per kg) was similar for the two dietary groups. The fractional catabolic rate of VLDL apoB was lower for the casein group (0.15 +/- 0.03 vs. 0.23 +/- 0.01.h-1; 0.05 less than P less than 0.10). Although the pool size of VLDL apoB was higher in the casein group (8 +/- 2 vs. 5 +/- 0.3 mg/kg), this value did not reach statistical significance. For LDL apoB, the increased pool size in casein-fed rabbits (30 +/- 5 vs. 5 +/- 1 mg/kg; P less than 0.01) was associated with a decreased fractional catabolic rate (0.03 +/- 0.005 vs. 0.08 +/- 0.008.h-1; P less than 0.01) and a 2-fold increase in the production rate of LDL apoB (1 +/- 0.3 vs. 0.4 +/- 0.06 mg/kg per h; 0.05 less than P less than 0.10) compared to rabbits fed soy protein. Analysis of precursor-product relationships between the various lipoprotein fractions showed that casein-fed rabbits synthesized a higher proportion of LDL apoB (95% +/- 2 vs. 67% +/- 2; P less than 0.001) independent of VLDL catabolism. These results support the concept that the hypercholesterolemia in casein-fed rabbits is associated with impaired LDL removal consistent with a down-regulation of LDL receptors. These changes do not occur when the casein is replaced by soy protein. 相似文献

Our purpose was to test the hypothesis that hypoxia potentiates exercise-induced sympathetic neural activation in humans. In 15 young (20-30 yr) healthy subjects, lower leg muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA, peroneal nerve; microneurography), venous plasma norepinephrine (PNE) concentrations, heart rate, and arterial blood pressure were measured at rest and in response to rhythmic handgrip exercise performed during normoxia or isocapnic hypoxia (inspired O2 concn of 10%). Study I (n = 7): Brief (3-4 min) hypoxia at rest did not alter MSNA, PNE, or arterial pressure but did induce tachycardia [17 +/- 3 (SE) beats/min; P less than 0.05]. During exercise at 50% of maximum, the increases in MSNA (346 +/- 81 vs. 207 +/- 14% of control), PNE (175 +/- 25 vs. 120 +/- 11% of control), and heart rate (36 +/- 2 vs. 20 +/- 2 beats/min) were greater during hypoxia than during normoxia (P less than 0.05), whereas the arterial pressure response was not different (26 +/- 4 vs. 25 +/- 4 mmHg). The increase in MSNA during hypoxic exercise also was greater than the simple sum of the separate responses to hypoxia and normoxic exercise (P less than 0.05). Study II (n = 8): In contrast to study I, during 2 min of exercise (30% max) performed under conditions of circulatory arrest and 2 min of postexercise circulatory arrest (local ischemia), the MSNA and PNE responses were similar during systemic hypoxia and normoxia. Arm ischemia without exercise had no influence on any variable during hypoxia or normoxia.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
