The human fibrin-stabilizing factors

Summary A review of the present knowledge of human fibrin-stabilizing factors (FSFs) is given. Thus far three human FSFs have been isolated and characterized, namely the FSFs from plasma, platelets and placentae.Placental and platelet FSF are identical; their molecules are composed of two identical polypeptide chains (subunits A) having a molecular weight of 80.000 daltons which are held together by non-covalent bonds. The subunit structure of these FSFs can be written A2.The molecules of plasma FSF (factor XIII) also contain 2 subunits A but in addition another component (subunit S, molecular weight 180.000 daltons) which are held together by non-covalent bonds, too. The subunit structure of plasma factor XIII can be written A₂S.The physical and immunochemical properties as well as the amino acid and carbohydrate composition of the FSFs, respectively of the subunits A and S are reported.The biological active part in the FSFs resides in subunit A. The biological role of subunit S is unknown. Protein S occurs in normal plasma in a free state, too; it combines with placental or platelet FSF to form a complex A₂S which is indistinguishable from plasma factor XIII. It has been suggested to designate protein S as FSF-binding globulin.The human FSFs are proenzymes which have to be activated by thrombin. The activation step is a limited proteolysis resulting in the release of a peptide (36 amino acid residues) from subunit A. The enzymes formed are transglutaminases; they crosslink the fibrin molecules by the formation of -glutamyl-s-lysine bonds, a process which is designated as fibrin-stabilization.The different methods which exist for assessment of the FSFs are reported. Deficiencies in FSFs which occur can be either hereditary or acquired. The possibilities of substituting FSFs in cases of deficiency and for accelerating wound healing after major surgeries are described.

A Retrospective Review of Patients with Atypical Femoral Fractures While on Long-Term Bisphosphonates: Including Pertinent Biochemical and Imaging Studies

ObjectiveTo elucidate the effects of prolonged bisphosphonate (BP) exposure on the development of atypical fragility fractures, and to define the associated risk factors.MethodsApproval was obtained from the institutional review board, and a retrospective chart analysis was performed on 51 patients who had been on BPs for at least 3 years and had complete subtrochanteric or diaphyseal femoral fracture(s) between January 2005 and April 2011. All relevant data were available for 25 patients (mean age, 67.52 years). All fractures included in the study were low- or no-energy. Relevant clinical and demographic data were collected regarding age, gender, ethnicity, height, weight, and comorbid medical conditions. Imaging and laboratory data collected on all patients included: calcium, alkaline phosphatase, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD), intact parathyroid hormone, serum c-telopeptide, and urine n-telopeptide levels, bone mineral density, radiography, and magnetic resonance imaging.ResultsMost of the patients in this study were Caucasian, were on alendronate, had bilateral findings, and almost half had prodromal symptoms. The 25-OHD level was suboptimal (<30 ng/mL) in 45.8% of the patients. Mean BP duration was 9.84 years, and mean bone density was in the osteopenic, not osteoporotic, range.ConclusionCharacteristics of patients with atypical BP-related fracture include relatively young age, long duration of BP use, suboptimal 25-OHD level, and bone density in the nonosteoporotic range. All of these may be significant risk factors for insufficiency fracture development. (Endocr Pract. 2013;19:456-461)

Study on Omentin-1 and miR-502-3p in osteoporotic fracture

Objectives:To explore the expression and correlation of Omentin-1 and miR-502-3p in serum of patients with osteoporotic fracture (OPF).Methods:Sixty OPF patients diagnosed and treated in our hospital from June 2018 to December 2019 were included in group A. Fifty-six osteoporosis patients without fractures were included in group B. Omentin-1 and miR-502-3p levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). Their predictive value for diagnostic efficiency was assessed by ROC curve. Spearman’s rank correlation test was used for correlation analysis. The risk factors related to the prognosis of OPF were analyzed by Logistic univariate and multivariate analysis.Results:The expression of Omentin-1 and miR-502-3p in group A was markedly lower than in group B (P<0.001). Spearman correlation analysis showed that in OPF, there was a negative correlation between serum Omentin-1 and TNF-α (r=0.8579, P<0.001), a negative correlation between serum miR-502-3p and TNF-α (r= 0.8653, P<0.001), and a positive correlation between serum Omentin-1 and miR-502-3p (r= 0.8764, P<0.001).Conclusions:Omentin-1 and miR-502-3p were down-regulated in serum of patients with OPF, both of which could be used as potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and disease evaluation of OPF.     

骨质疏松椎体压缩性骨折患者经皮椎体成形术后再次骨折的危险因素分析

目的:探讨骨质疏松椎体压缩骨折患者接受椎体成形术后再次新发骨折的危险因素。方法:选取2009年1月到2015年1月就诊于我院诊断为骨质疏松椎体压缩性骨折且行经皮椎体成形术的患者,收集患者的诊疗信息及影像学资料。收集患者的年龄、性别等基本资料及基于定量CT测量的骨矿物含量、骨水泥注射占椎体体积的比、骨水泥的分布及骨水泥的渗漏情况。将单椎体骨折且在随访时间内再次新发椎体骨折的患者分为A组,未骨折的患者分为B组,对比分析两组之间的参数的差异,并利用二项Logistic回归分析分析再次骨折的危险因素。结果:共有287例患者纳入研究,平均随访时间为34.7±17.8个月,压缩性骨折最常见的椎体依次为L1(29.1%)、T12(20.8%)及L2(13.5%)。在随访时间内共有32例患者再次发生椎体骨折。252例单椎体骨折患者中,26例(A组)再次发生骨折,226例(B组)未发生骨折。A组骨矿物含量低于B组(P0.001),骨水泥分布较B组差(P0.001),年龄高于B组(P0.001)且骨水泥渗漏发生率(34.6%)高于B组(13.7%)(P=0.006),两组在骨水泥占椎体的比、后凸程度、性别比例没有统计学差异。回归分析显示骨矿物含量(OR=1.092,P0.001)、年龄(OR=1.091,P0.001)及骨水泥渗漏(OR=1.200,P=0.002)均是再次骨折的危险因素,骨水泥的均匀分布是保护因素(OR=0.922,P0.001)。结论:年龄较大且骨质较差的患者容易再次发生椎体骨折,在行椎体成形术过程中应尽量使骨水泥均匀分布并避免骨水泥的渗漏。     

Fatigue effect on cross-talk in mechanomyography signals of extensor and flexor forearm muscles during maximal voluntary isometric contractions

Objective:This paper presents the analyses of the fatigue effect on the cross-talk in mechanomyography (MMG) signals of extensor and flexor forearm muscles during pre- and post-fatigue maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC).Methods:Twenty male participants performed repetitive submaximal (60% MVIC) grip muscle contractions to induce muscle fatigue and the results were analyzed during the pre- and post-fatigue MVIC. MMG signals were recorded on the extensor digitorum (ED), extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL), flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) and flexor carpi radialis (FCR) muscles. The cross-correlation coefficient was used to quantify the cross-talk values in forearm muscle pairs (MP1, MP2, MP3, MP4, MP5 and MP6). In addition, the MMG RMS and MMG MPF were calculated to determine force production and muscle fatigue level, respectively.Results:The fatigue effect significantly increased the cross-talk values in forearm muscle pairs except for MP2 and MP6. While the MMG RMS and MMG MPF significantly decreased (p<0.05) based on the examination of the mean differences from pre- and post-fatigue MVIC.Conclusion:The presented results can be used as a reference for further investigation of cross-talk on the fatigue assessment of extensor and flexor muscles’ mechanic.     

7例影像学表现为弥漫肺间质性病变的肺结核报道及文献复习

目的:通过对7例高分辨CT(High Resolution Computed Tomography,HRCT)表现为弥漫肺间质性病变的肺结核患者的相关资料进行分析,结合相关文献,提高对该类肺结核的认识。方法:分析本院2012.2~2015.3确诊的7例HRCT表现为弥漫肺间质性病变的肺结核的临床症状、体征、影像学资料及痰抗酸杆菌、结核菌素纯蛋白衍生物(Purified Protein Derivative,PPD)试验、T细胞斑点试验(T-SPOT.TB)、抗结核抗体、血常规、血沉(Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate,ESR)等实验室检查、病理检查等资料。结果:6例经2次以上痰涂片阳性确诊为肺结核,1例抗结核治疗有效诊断为肺结核;弥漫肺间质性病变的肺结核患者HRCT上间质性病变的范围与抗酸杆菌的检出及发热症状的出现有关联;与盗汗、乏力、咯血等结核中毒症状及PPD、结核抗体、ESR等指标无明显相关关系。结论:弥漫肺间质性病变也可为肺结核的一种特殊表现,极易误诊为其他间质病变。当患者临床表现及实验室检查无特殊发现时,需考虑肺结核的可能并进行结核病相关检查,尤其是抗酸杆菌及肺组织病理检查,以尽早明确诊断。     

Anticonvulsant use and fracture: a case-control study

Objectives:We aimed to investigate fracture risk associated with anticonvulsant use in a population-based sample of men and women.Methods:Data from 1,458 participants (51.8% women) with a radiologically confirmed incident fracture (cases) were compared to 1,796 participants (46.5% women) without fracture (controls). Lifestyle factors, medication use and medical history were self-reported. Associations between anticonvulsant use and fracture were explored using binary logistic regression following adjustment for confounders.Results:In men, fracture cases and controls differed in age, smoking history, education, alcohol use, and gonadal hormone supplementation. In women, fracture cases and controls differed by previous fracture history, alcohol use, physical activity levels and use of anti-fracture agents. After adjustment for age, pooled anticonvulsant use was associated with a 3.4-fold higher risk of fracture in men and a 1.8-fold higher risk in women. Following further adjustments for confounders these patterns persisted; a 2.8-fold higher fracture risk in men and a 1.8-fold higher fracture risk in women.Conclusions:Anticonvulsant use was associated with increased fracture risk, independent of demographic, lifestyle, medical and medication related factors. While further studies exploring potential underlying mechanisms are warranted, regular monitoring of bone health in anticonvulsant users with risk factors may be useful.     

Low psoas major muscle area as a risk factor for contralateral hip fracture following intertrochanteric fracture

Objective:This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the psoas major muscle area as a risk factor and subsequent contralateral hip fractures in patients with initial intertrochanteric fractures.Methods:Of 136 treated for intertrochanteric fractures, 104 female patients had computed tomography done to assess their fractures at initial stage and had been followed up for more than 2 years. These patients were then divided into 2 groups: i.e. those who had a contralateral hip fracture (CF) (n=16) and those who did not (NF) (n=88) groups. We mainly assessed the relationship between the corrected psoas major muscle area (CPMA) at initial fracture and the occurrence of contralateral hip fracture.Results:The CF group had significantly lower CPMA than the NF group (p=0.001). There was positive correlation between the CPMA and the period from the initial to the contralateral hip fracture in the CF group. The CPMA cutoff value of 480.98 mm²/m², was showed sensitivity of 63.6% and specificity of 87.5% in receiver operating characteristic curve analysis for all patients.Conclusions:The lower CPMA was associated with the contralateral hip fracture within 2 years from initial intertrochanteric fracture. The low CPMA would be a risk factor for contralateral hip fracture.
