The continuous turnover of BONE MATRIX and mineral that involves first an increase in BONE RESORPTION (osteoclastic activity) and later, reactive BONE FORMATION (osteoblastic activity). The process of bone remodeling takes place in the adult skeleton at discrete foci. The process ensures the mechanical integrity of the skeleton throughout life and plays an important role in calcium HOMEOSTASIS. An imbalance in the regulation of bone remodeling's two contrasting events, bone resorption and bone formation, results in many of the metabolic bone diseases, such as OSTEOPOROSIS.

Slime was occasionally produced by S. caprae strains but all of them carried nucleotide sequences hybridizing at low stringency with the following genes: atlE encoding a S. epidermidis autolysin binding vitronectin and responsible for the primary adhesion to polystyrene, ica operon involved in the biosynthesis of a S. epidermidis extracellular polysaccharide, and the part of clfA encoding the serine-aspartate repeated region of a S. aureus cell-wall fibrinogen-binding protein.

Aspergillosis in children with cancer: A 34-year experience. (2/59)

A retrospective review of medical records, microbiology and pathology laboratory records, and nosocomial infection surveillance data was undertaken to describe the experience with culture-documented aspergillus infection in pediatric cancer patients at our facility. Sixty-six patients were identified from a 34-year period. The most common underlying diagnosis was leukemia. Risk factors included neutropenia, immunosuppression, and prior antibiotic therapy. On the basis of clinical presentation, 23 patients were believed to have disseminated disease and 43 to have localized disease. The lung was the most frequently affected organ. Despite aggressive medical and surgical management, overall mortality was 85% within the first year after diagnosis. Patients who presented with disease in sites other than the lungs fared better than patients with initial pulmonary involvement (P=.0014). Aspergillosis continues to be associated with poor outcome. Development of improved medical and adjuvant therapies, including surgery, is warranted. (+info)

Tackling osseous hydatidosis using orthopaedic oncology techniques. (3/59)

Scedosporium apiospermum in chronic granulomatous disease treated with an HLA matched bone marrow transplant. (4/59)

A patient with chronic granulomatous disease who was being treated with steroids was diagnosed with a soft tissue Scedosporium apiospermum infection. Despite extensive treatment with antifungals progression to involve solid tissue (bone) occurred. Treatment required an HLA matched bone marrow transplant, which led to complete clearance of the fungal infection, although the patient subsequently died. (+info)

Mechanism of accumulation of 99mTc-sulesomab in inflammation. (5/59)

99mTc-Sulesomab, the Fab fragment of anti-NCA-90, is used as an in vivo granulocyte labeling agent for imaging inflammation. It is not clear to what extent it targets cells that have already migrated into the interstitial space of an inflammatory lesion as opposed to circulating cells. The contribution to signal of radioprotein diffusion in the setting of increased vascular permeability is also poorly documented. METHODS: We compared the local kinetics of (99m)Tc-sulesomab and (99m)Tc-labeled human serum albumin (HSA), which have similar molecular sizes, in 7 patients with orthopedic infection proven by clearly positive (111)In-leukocyte scintigraphy. (99m)Tc-Sulesomab and (99m)Tc-HSA were administered in sequence separated by an interval of 2-6 d. Images were obtained 1, 3, 4, and 6 h after injection, and multiple venous blood samples were obtained for blood clearance measurement. Patlak-Rutland (P-R) analysis was performed to measure lesion and control tissue protein clearance. Target-to-background tissue (T/Bkg) ratios were calculated for each radioprotein and compared with the T/Bkg ratio for (111)In-leukocytes. (99m)Tc-Sulesomab binding to granulocytes was measured in vitro and ex vivo and to primed and activated granulocytes in vitro. RESULTS: After intravenous injection, <5% of the circulating radioactivity was cell bound with both radioproteins so that the P-R curves could therefore be assumed to represent extravascular uptake of free protein. The blood clearance (mean +/- SD) of sulesomab was 23.4 +/- 11.7 mL/min, approximately 5 times greater than that of HSA, for which it was 4.8 +/- 3.1 mL/min. Likewise, clearance into the lesion of sulesomab was consistently higher than that of HSA, on average about 3 times as high. Nevertheless, the T/Bkg ratios for sulesomab and HSA were similar, except at 6 h when that of HSA (2.14 +/- 0.6) was higher than that of sulesomab (1.93 +/- 0.5; P approximately 0.01). Both values were considerably less than the T/Bkg ratio on the (111)In-leukocyte images, which, at 22 h, was 12.3 +/- 5.3. Moderate clearance of sulesomab, but not HSA, was seen in the control tissue. Granulocytes bound significantly more (99m)Tc-sulesomab in vitro when primed or activated. CONCLUSION: (a) Sulesomab does not localize in inflammation as a result of binding to circulating granulocytes; (b) sulesomab is cleared into inflammation nonspecifically via increased vascular permeability; nevertheless, it may be cleared after local binding to primed granulocytes or bind to activated, migrated extravascular granulocytes; and (c) HSA produces a similar or higher T/Bkg ratio than sulesomab because sulesomab is cleared into normal tissues and because image positivity in inflammation is significantly dependent on local blood-pool expansion.

Bone scintigraphy as an adjunct for the diagnosis of oral diseases. (6/59)

Bone scintigraphy is a very sensitive method for the detection of osteoblastic activity of the skeleton. The technique consists of imaging the uptake of bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals, particularly technetium-99m labeled diphosphonates, in the mineral component of bone, which consists of hydroxyapatite crystals and calcium phosphate, as well as in the organic matrix such as collagen fibers. Plain radiographs, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are classified as structural imaging modalities, whereas bone scintigraphy is a functional method. In many cases, radionuclide imaging techniques are the only means by which early physiologic changes that are a direct result of biochemical alteration may be assessed, before significant bone mineral changes can be detected by other means. Since many oral diseases may cause metabolic changes in the oromaxillofacial complex, it would be of great value to use bone scintigraphy to evaluate more completely some conditions involving the bones in the region to formulate more appropriate treatment plans. Based upon the current literature, the authors discuss the possible applications of bone scintigraphy as a diagnostic and treatment planning adjunct for oral diseases. Bone scintigraphy has proven particularly useful in the study of malignant lesions and in the evaluation of vascularized bone grafts used for maxillofacial reconstructions. (+info)

Cost-minimization analysis and audit of antibiotic management of bone and joint infections with ambulatory teicoplanin, in-patient care or outpatient oral linezolid therapy. (7/59)

Bone and joint infections are significant causes of morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. The cost of treatment for such infections is driven primarily by the length of hospital stay. Many of these infections will require treatment with prolonged periods of parenteral antibiotic therapy. Clinicians and healthcare managers are being attracted increasingly by administering treatment in the ambulatory setting as this offers clinical, economic and quality of life advantages from both the hospital's and patient's perspective. Our retrospective audit of managing 55 treatment episodes of bone and joint infections with teicoplanin delivered in the outpatient or home setting revealed that the mean cost of care per episode of infection was less with treatment in the ambulatory setting ( pound 1749.15) compared with the in-patient setting ( pound 11 400) or compared with the hypothetical situation of treatment with oral linezolid in the home setting ( pound 2546). Teicoplanin therapeutic drug monitoring appears to be valuable in establishing optimal serum levels, which appear to correlate with good clinical outcomes. The potential for alternative day or thrice weekly dosing with teicoplanin may offer further cost advantages whilst maintaining equivalent clinical effectiveness. (+info)

Synthesis and characterization of hydroxyapatite-ciprofloxacin delivery systems by precipitation and spray drying technique. (8/59)

This investigation synthesized and characterized hydroxyapatite (HAP) microspheres, agglomerated microspheres, and implants containing ciprofloxacin. This delivery system is to be used as an implantable drug delivery system for the treatment of bone infections. The HAP microspheres were made by chemical precipitation followed by a spray-drying technique. Agglomerated microspheres were prepared by a wet granulation process using a granulator. Implants were prepared by direct compression of the granules on a Carver press. Ciprofloxacin was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Characterization of the HAP microspheres include particle size, size distribution, physical state of the drug in the microsphere, and microstructure of the drug delivery system before and after in vitro release. The particle size, porosity, and morphology of the microspheres were dependent on viscosity and concentration of the slurry as well as the atomization pressure used during spray drying. Even at the highest drug load (2% wt/wt), the drug was present in a noncrystalline state. The drug release from the agglomerated microspheres was quick and almost complete within 1 hour. However, compressing the same amount of agglomerated microspheres into an implant greatly reduced the rate of ciprofloxacin release. Only 12% (wt/wt) of the drug was released from the implant within 1 hour. The in vitro release of ciprofloxacin from these implants follows a diffusion-controlled mechanism. This method provides a unique way of producing various shapes and drug loads of HAP microspheres that can be easily manufactured on a commercial scale. (+info)
