In this study we determined the levels of trace elements (zinc, copper, lead, cadmium and mercury) in three layers of bones
of the hip joint (cartilage, compact bone and spongy bone) of 30 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) from north-western Poland. Concentrations of Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (ICP-AES)
in inductively coupled argon plasma using a Perkin-Elmer Optima 2000 DV. Determination of Hg concentration was performed by
atomic absorption spectroscopy. In cartilage, compact bone and spongy bone samples from the red fox, median concentrations
of the metals studied could be arranged in the following descending series: Zn > Cu > Pb > Cd > Hg, the values ranging from
142 to 0.002 mg/kg dw. There was a significant difference in Cu concentrations, among all the materials analyzed, with much
more Cu found in spongy bone than in compact bone. Significant differences were also noted in the case of Hg concentrations
in cartilage with compact bone and the spongy bone, and between concentrations of this metal in compact bone and spongy bone.
In males, the concentration of Hg in spongy bone was greater than in females. Younger foxes had a higher concentration of
this metal in cartilage than adults. The strongest synergistic relationships were observed in spongy bone between the Zn and
Cu, Zn and Cd, as well as between Cu and Cd. Statistically significant antagonistic relationships were detected between zinc
and lead in compact bone. In addition to monitoring studies conducted on the abiotic environment, an urgent need exists for
long-term monitoring of concentrations of heavy metals with long-term effects on living organisms. An important addition is
provided by biomonitoring studies on domesticated and free-living mammals, including Canidae. 相似文献

The aim of this paper was to determine the level of five elements, two essential for life [zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu)] and three distinctly toxic [lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg)], in four types of biological material in bones of the dog Canis lupus familiaris. The experiment was carried out on bones from the hip joints of dogs. The samples of cartilage, compact bone, spongy bone, and cartilage with adjacent compact bone came from 26 domestic dogs from northwestern Poland. Concentrations of Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd were determined by ICP-AES (atomic absorption spectrophotometry) in inductively coupled argon plasma, using a Perkin-Elmer Optima 2000 DV. Determination of Hg concentration was performed by atomic absorption spectroscopy. In the examined bone material from the dog, the greatest concentrations (median) were observed for Zn and the lowest for Hg (98 mg Zn/kg and 0.0015 mg Hg/kg dw, respectively). In cartilage and spongy bone, metal concentrations could be arranged in the following descending order: Zn > Pb > Cu > Cd > Hg. In compact bone, the order was slightly different: Zn > Pb > Cd > Cu > Hg (from median 70 mg/kg dw to 0.002 mg/kg dw). The comparisons of metal concentrations between the examined bone materials showed distinct differences only in relation to Hg: between concentrations in spongy bone, compact bone, and in cartilage, being greater in cartilage than in compact bone, and lower again in spongy bone. 相似文献

Biochemical anatomy of human bone: comparative study of compact and spongy bone in femur, rib and iliac crest 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Using EDTA extraction procedure, compact and spongy bone from human femur, rib and iliac crest were compared in terms of their content in collagen, sialoprotein, proteoglycan and carbohydrate. The bone matrix sizes displayed significant variations, the femur having the smallest size and iliac crest the largest one. No significant difference in the matrix size has been found between the spongy and compact bone. The EDTA extractability of the spongy bone was higher than that of the compact bone, with femur showing the lowest extractability. The collagen content of the 3 bones studied was similar although the femur had slightly lower values. The sialic and uronic acids and hexose contents were higher in the femur than in the rib and iliac crest. The collagen/hexose, collagen/sialic acid and collagen/uronic acid ratios in the bone matrix were highest in the iliac crest and lowest in the femur, suggesting that alterations in the amounts of bone matrix can affect the mechanical properties of different parts of the bony skeleton and vice versa. 相似文献

The aims of the study were to determine manganese (Mn), iron (Fe) and strontium (Sr) concentrations in fox bone samples from north-western Poland and to examine the relationships between the bone Mn, Fe and Sr concentrations and the sex and age of the foxes. In the studied samples of fox cartilage, cartilage with adjacent compact bone, compact bone and spongy bone, the concentrations of the analysed metals had the following descending order: Fe > Sr > Mn. The only exception was in compact bone, in which the concentrations were arranged in the order Sr > Fe > Mn. Manganese concentrations were significantly higher in cartilage, compact bone and cartilage with compact bone than in spongy bone. Iron concentrations were higher in cartilage and spongy bone compared with compact bone. Strontium concentrations were greater in compact bone than in cartilage and spongy bone. The manganese, iron and strontium concentrations in the same type of bone material in many cases correlated with each other, with the strongest correlation (r?>?0.70) between Mn and Fe in almost all types of samples. In addition, concentrations of the same metals in different bone materials were closely correlated for Mn and Fe in cartilage and cartilage with adjacent compact bone, and for Sr in compact bone and cartilage with compact bone. In the fox from NW Poland, there were no statistically significant differences in Mn, Fe and Sr in any of the types of bone material between the sexes and immature and adult foxes. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine the concentrations of manganese (Mn), iron (Fe) and strontium (Sr) in the cartilage with adjacent compact bone and spongy bone collected from patients after total hip replacement surgery. In addition, we examined relations between the concentrations of the metals in the bone and selected environmental factors. The concentration of Fe was the highest while Mn concentration was the lowest. The concentrations of Fe in the spongy bone in patients from larger cities were higher than in those living in smaller towns and villages. Significant correlations were found between Fe and Mn concentrations in the cartilage with adjacent compact bone and in the spongy bone, and between Mn and Sr in the spongy bone. In general, Mn, Fe and Sr concentrations in the bones of patients from NW Poland were lower than in other Polish regions and Europe, especially in industrialized countries. In conclusion, it seems that in addition to routine monitoring of the abiotic environment, it is essential to monitor concentrations of heavy metals having a long-term impact in humans. 相似文献

A synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence microprobe analysis technique was used to scan a slice of the femoral head from
its periphery to its center, via cartilage, compact, and spongy zones in order to determine the distribution and the way inorganic
substances are lost in bone tissue. The sample preparation and experimental apparatus are described in detail. The quantitative
computerized tomography of elemental distribution, such as Ca, P, K, Fe, Zn, Sr, and Pb in bone slice tissue, including cartilage,
substantial compact, and substantial spongy, is investigated. Combined with the correlation among, P, K, Zn, Sr, and Ca, the
route of loss of minerals and the physiological functions of some metal elements in bone are also discussed. 相似文献

The aim of this research was to determine the concentrations of two essential elements (copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn)) and three toxic elements (lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg)) in the hip joint bones of patients from the Chair and Clinic of Orthopaedics and Traumatology at the Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin. We examined 111 samples of hip joint bones obtained from patients from north-western Poland who had undergone arthroplasty of the femoral head. In cartilage with the adjacent compact bone, and in spongy bone from the examined patients, the concentrations (medians) determined were placed in the following descending sequence Zn>Pb>Cu>Cd>Hg. The concentrations ranged from 86 mg Zn/kg to 0.0020 mg Hg/kg dw. It was found that the concentration of lead in the cartilage with adjacent compact bone was higher in men than in women. In conclusion, it seems that in addition to routine monitoring of the abiotic environment, it is essential to monitor concentrations of heavy metals having a long-term impact in humans. 相似文献

The common ventricle in the heart of the Thunnus alalunga was studied. The ventricular myocardium consists of an outer compact layer and a thick inner spongy layer. The compact layer has slightly larger cells (4-6 microns diameter) than the spongy layer (2.5-5 microns diameter). Ultrastructurally the myocardium displays normal arrangements of myofibrils and mitochondria. The sarcoplasmic reticulum is poorly developed. The intercalated discs are simple with the fascia adherens being the most frequent junctional type observed; occasionally a desmosome was seen. Nexus type junctions are present but are unassociated with the intercalated discs. There are no t-tubules evident but the plasmalemma exhibits numerous caveolae which rarely form couplings with the sarcoplasmic reticulum. A morphometric analysis of the volume percent of mitochondria and myofibrils showed that the myocardial cells in the spongy layer of the heart have a significantly greater volume percentage of mitochondria than the compact layer. No significant differences were found between myocardial regions when the volume percentages of myofibrils were compared. The physiological studies revealed that the albacore tuna has heart rates (120 bpm) and ventricular blood pressures (100 mmHg) that are among the highest reported for fish. 相似文献

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) has attracted considerable interest as a bone anabolic agent. PTH plays a central role in regulating calcium phosphate metabolism and its increases in production in response to low serum calcium levels. A continuous hypersecretion of PTH, as occurs in primary hyperparathyroidism, leads to bone resorption. In this study, the effect of different doses of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on bone mineral content (BMC) in rats was investigated by particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE). This study will help in investigating further the toxicity of extremely high doses of PTH on BMC. For this study, PTH at doses of 15, 45, or 135 μg/kg/day were applied to 9-month-old male and female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. The concentrations of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), strontium (Sr), and zinc (Zn) were measured for bone treatment of PTH. From the results of the research, it was revealed that the biomechanical characteristics of the bone as well as the bone mass were enhanced after the treatment. It was further found that the concentrations of other elements also increased, excluding Zn. This research proved that PTH assists in the treatment of osteoporosis as revealed by the characteristics of different elements. PIXE can be used to determine the concentrations of bone mineral content. 相似文献

The relationship between magnesium (Mg) and zinc (Zn) in soft tissues and bone of rats was studied after administration of unbalanced mineral diets. Minerals and metals in soft tissues and bone were determined using inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP). There were significant positive correlations between serum Zn and Mg levels, between serum Zn and Zn content of soft tissues and bone, and between serum Mg levels and Zn content of bone and soft tissues in rats fed unbalanced mineral diets. A significant positive correlation was also found between Zn and Mg content in the lumbar spine and femoral bone of rats. It appears that altered bone mineralization induced by unbalanced mineral diets leads to mobilization of Mg and Zn from rat bones in similar ways. 相似文献

Bone mineralization of antlers and the depth of the antler seal (the basal surface of the cast antlers) are positively related to testosterone concentrations. Pampas deer males that are in permanent contact with females have greater, heavier, and darker antlers than males that are isolated from them. The objectives were to determine if antler compact/spongy bone ratio, antler seal depth, and compact bone darkness are greater in pampas deer males permanently allocated with females than those in males isolated from them. Antlers from males permanently allocated with or without females were cut transversally in seven points and scanned, and the compact/spongy ratio was calculated. The pixel intensity of each image was determined with a software for image analysis. The coronet of the antler was cut longitudinally, and the height of the most prominent protrusion was measured. The compact/spongy ratio was greater in antlers from males that were in contact with females in the second tine (P?=?0.02) and tended to be great in the two other tines (P?=?0.06 and P?=?0.1, respectively). Compact bone pixel color was darker in males in contact with females than that in males isolated from females in two points (P?=?0.02 and P?=?0.05, respectively) and tended to do so in two more (P?=?0.055 and P?=?0.1, respectively). Antler seal convexity was also greater in antlers from males in contact with females (P?=?0.006). We concluded that permanent contact with females stimulated pampas deer males increasing compact bone portion of the antler tines, the seal depth size, and the darkness of the compact bone. 相似文献

To examine whether the bone mineral density (BMD) decreases uniformly with aging in any spongy bones, the authors investigated
age-related changes of BMD in the calcaneus, talus, and scaphoid bone. After the ordinary dissection by medical students was
finished, calcanei, tali, and scaphoid bones were resected from the subjects, and BMDs were measured by dual-energy X-ray
absorptiometry. Their BMDs seemed to decrease gradually with aging in the calcanei, tali, and scaphoid bones. It was found
that there were statistically significant relationships between age and BMD in the men’s and women’s scaphoid bones, women’s
tali, and women’s calcanei, but not in the men’s tali and calcanei. It should be noted that there were significant relationships
between age and BMD in both men’s and women’s scaphoid bones. In regard to relationship in BMD between the bones of the upper
and lower limbs in individuals, it was found that the relationship between the calcaneus and talus was higher than that between
the calcaneus and scaphoid bone. This suggests that there is a higher relationship in BMD between the two tarsal bones compared
with that between the tarsal and carpal bones. 相似文献

Monophasic action potentials (MAPs) were recorded from the spongy and compact layers of the yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares ventricle as stimulation frequency was increased. MAP duration decreased with increase in stimulation frequency in both the spongy and compact myocardial layers, but no significant difference in MAP duration was observed between the layers. 相似文献

The uneven distributed microstructure featured with plate-like spongy bone in woodpecker’s skull has been found to further help reduce the impact during woodpecker’s pecking behavior. Therefore, this work was to investigate the micro-mechanical properties and composition on different sites of Great Spotted woodpecker’s (GSW) skull. Different sites were selected on forehead, tempus and occiput, which were also compared with those of Eurasian Hoopoe (EH) and Lark birds (LB). Micro structural parameters assessed from micro computed tomography (μCT) occurred significantly difference between GSW, EH and LB. The micro finite element (micro-FE) models were developed and the simulation was performed as a compression process. The maximal stresses of GSW’s micro-FE models were all lower than those of EH and LB respectively and few concentrated stresses were noticed on GSW’s trabecular bone. Fourier transform infrared mapping suggesting a greater organic content in the occiput of GSW’s cranial bone compared with others. The nano-hardness of the GSW’s occiput was decreasing from forehead to occiput. The mechanical properties, site-dependent hardness distribution and special material composition of GSW’s skull bone are newly found in this study. These factors may lead to a new design of bulk material mimicking these characteristics. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to compare zinc, copper, lead, cadmium, and mercury concentrations in the bones of long-living mammals—humans (Homo sapiens) and Canidae (dogs Canis familiaris and foxes Vulpes vulpes) from northwestern Poland and to determine the usefulness of Canidae as bioindicators of environmental exposure to metals in humans. Zinc concentrations in cartilage with adjacent compact bone and in spongy bone were highest in foxes (~120 mg/kg dry weight (dw)) and lowest in dogs (80 mg/kg dw). Copper concentrations in cartilage with adjacent compact bone were greatest in foxes (1.17 mg/kg dw) and smallest in humans (~0.8 mg/kg dw), while in spongy bone they were greatest in dogs (0.76 mg/kg dw) and lowest in foxes (0.45 mg/kg dw). Lead concentrations in both analyzed materials were highest in dogs (>3 mg/kg dw) and lowest in humans (>0.6 mg/kg dw). Cadmium concentration, also in both the analyzed materials, were highest in foxes (>0.15 mg/kg dw) and lowest in humans (>0.04 mg/kg dw). Mercury concentration in bones was low and did not exceed 0.004 mg/kg dw in all the examined species. The concentrations of essential metals in the bones of the examined long-living mammals were similar. The different concentrations of toxic metals were due to environmental factors. As bone tissues are used in the assessment of the long-term effects of environmental exposure to heavy metals on the human body, ecotoxicological studies on the bones of domesticated and wild long-living mammals, including Canidae, may constitute a significant supplement to this research. 相似文献

The vertebral centra of teleost fishes are amphicoelous. They resemble biconid hour-glass shaped cylinders, the ends of which are concave. The development, function, and design of the biconid amphicoelous shape of teleost centra are discussed in view of: the role of morphogenesis in the development of centra shape; function of the precaudal portion of the vertebral column in teleost locomotion; design of the centra as an adaptive response to functional problems. The biconid portion of the centrum is formed in compact bone by ossification within the cylindrically arranged sclerotome. The characteristic biconid shape is controlled by alternating dilation and constriction of the developing anlage, a result of differential growth of the sclerotome and notochordal sheaths. The shape of the biconid compactum is not correlated with stress distributions resulting from locomotion. Much spongy bone is present in teleost centra; it surrounds the compact biconid and forms longitudinal bars of bone along the lateral margin of the centra. Spongy bone is derived from sclerotomal mesemchyme. The time for formation, its position, and alignment of bony trabeculae within the spongy bone suggests it to be deposited in response to mechanical stresses. 相似文献

Experiments were performed to check the tolerance to severe hypoxia of the tissue layers (compact and spongy) of the tortoise heart. The animals were subjected to hypoxia (7% O2) at 18 degrees C, 28 degrees C and 38 degrees C for 30, 6 and 2 hr respectively, or to anoxia for 30 hr at 18 degrees C and 2 hr at 38 degrees C. At 18 degrees C the metabolic alterations caused by a 30 hr hypoxia were mild whereas at 28 degrees C and 38 degrees C the cardiac glycogen was depleted, lactate had accumulated and the phosphate creatine and ATP content had decreased. The extent of these metabolic changes was similar in the compact and in the spongy layers of the heart. 相似文献

Mineralized tissues exhibit varying degrees of mineralization in different areas within the same bone. Using the technique of density gradient fractionation, bone powder from the diaphysis of human femur has been separated in different fractions corresponding to the degree of mineralization. Isolated bone fractions were analysed for their content in collagen and non-collagenous proteins. The results showed marked differences between compact and spongy bones, this latter containing higher proportions of little mineralized bone particles than the former (p less than 0.01). The ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid (EDTA) extractability and the bone matrix size decreased relative to the decrease in specific gravity of bone particles. Among the matrix components of different fractions, sialoprotein consistently increased with the increase in specific gravity while proteoglycan decreased in reverse manner to the increase in collagen. However, in the most mineralized fraction (specific gravity: 2.33 g/cm3), the proteoglycan amount increased while collagen decreased. In conclusion, this study of bone maturation in human femur confirms the suitability of the technique of density gradient fractionation in the studies of bone matrix-mineral interactions. Apart from the fraction with the highest specific gravity, the analytical results obtained in fractions are similar to those observed in age-related bone changes, suggesting that the increase in mineralization degree of bone particles may be related to their age. 相似文献

In this paper the relation between long term consumption of a high dose of sodium phytate and the mineral status of the organism is evaluated in rats. For this purpose, element concentrations (Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn) were determined in liver, heart, testicle, bone and urine of a second generation of Wistar rats, treated with a phytate free diet (AIN-76A) and with the same diet plus 1% phytate as sodium salt. The most significant differences were observed between bone zinc contents of male and female rats. The zinc content of rats fed a 1% phytate as sodium salt diet resulted clearly lower than that found in no-phytate treated rats. Hence, it is concluded that when up to 1% of phytate as sodium salt is consumed together with an equilibrated purified diet (free of phytate), no decrease in mineral bioavailability is observed in second generation rats, except for an indication of lower zinc availability by lower zinc concentrations in some organs, mainly bone. However, using this purified diet, the zinc concentration in bone resulted around 10 times higher than found in rats fed with a common non purified rat chow. 相似文献

To clarify why calcification of the mitral valve occurred, the authors chose the abdominal aorta and the scaphoid bone among many arteries and bones, and they studied both relationships in element contents between the mitral valve and the abdominal aorta and between the mitral valve and the scaphoid bone. The subjects consisted of 11 men and 8 women, ranging in age from 52 to 96 yr. The accumulation of calcium and phosphorus occurred progressively with aging in the mitral valve, whereas it became the highest in the sixties in the abdominal aorta and did not increase thereafter. The accumulation of calcium and phosphorus occurred in the abdominal aorta earlier than the thoracic aorta, in which it became remarkable in the seventies. It should be noted that in regard to the accumulation of calcium and phosphorus, no significant correlations were found between the mitral valve and the abdominal aorta. It is suggested that calcification of the abdominal aorta is not essentially accompanied by calcification of the mitral valve. The scaphoid bone was chosen among many bones consisting mainly of spongy bone and the relationship was examined between the calcium content in the mitral valve and the bone mineral density of the scaphoid bone. It was found that there was a low relationship between them. Therefore, it is suggested that a part of the surplus calcium released from bones is deposited in the mitral valve. 相似文献
