In the XIAFLEX® controlled trials in Peyronies disease, 65.5% of XIAFLEX®-treated patients developed penile hematoma, and 14.5% developed penile ecchymosis. Patients with abnormal coagulation (except for patients taking low-dose aspirin, eg, up to 150 mg per day) were excluded from participating in these studies. Therefore, the efficacy and safety of XIAFLEX® in patients receiving anticoagulant medications (other than low-dose aspirin, eg, up to 150 mg per day) within 7 days prior to XIAFLEX® administration is not known. In addition, it is recommended to avoid use of XIAFLEX® in patients with coagulation disorders, including patients receiving concomitant anticoagulants (except for low-dose aspirin ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Enhancement of the structural stability of full-length clostridial collagenase by calcium ions. AU - Ohbayashi, Naomi. AU - Yamagata, Noriko. AU - Goto, Masafumi. AU - Watanabe, Kimiko. AU - Yamagata, Youhei. AU - Murayama, Kazutaka. PY - 2012/8. Y1 - 2012/8. N2 - The clostridial collagenases G and H are multidomain proteins. For collagen digestion, the domain arrangement is likely to play an important role in collagen binding and hydrolysis. In this study, the full-length collagenase H protein from Clostridium histolyticum was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified. The N-terminal amino acid of the purified protein was Ala31. The expressed protein showed enzymatic activity against azocoll as a substrate. To investigate the role of Ca2+ in providing structural stability to the full-length collagenase H, biophysical measurements were conducted using the recombinant protein. Size exclusion chromatography revealed that the Ca2+ chelation by EGTA induced interdomain ...

WASHINGTON -- The FDA has approved the first drug for the progressive hand disease known as Dupuytrens contracture -- the injectable collagenase clostridium histolyticum (Xiaflex).

This study evaluated the relative tolerability and efficacy of collagenase clostridium histolyticum [AA 4500] in patients with residual-type Dupuytrens

The early stages of degradation of native collagen by two bacterial collagenases were studied by electron microscopy and by automatic Edman degradation. The purified collagenase from Clostridium histolyticum was shown to cleave native collagen at several sites, but not progressively from the N-terminus, as had been previously suggested. The homogeneous collagenase from Achromobacter iophagus cleaves native collagen preferentially at two sites corresponding to the interbands 33-34 and 41-42. The latter lies within the region cleaved by the eukaryotic collagenases. ...

Our most active crude collagenase, type XI, contains significant activities of other proteolytic enzymes, including clostripain, caseinase, and a tryptic activity. While this product is highly suited for preparation of pancreatic islets and islet cells, the tryptic activity of the collagenase medium can activate the zymogens of the digestive enzymes produced by pancreatic acinar cells. The addition of trypsin inhibitor to the culture medium from Clostridium histolyticum prevents or greatly reduces the activation of the protease proenzymes stored in the pancreas.

The preparation is a class I collagenase (Col G gene) from Clostridium histolyticum prepared by recombinant E. coli and free of class II collagenase (Col H gene).

The Liberase projects showed that collagenase and neutral protease were the enzymes required for the release of islets from human pancreatic tissue. Liberase contains purified class I and class II C histolyticum collagenase, and thermolysin or Dispase. Different formulations and doses were used to isolate cells from different tissues.. The identification of the C. histolyticum genes and corresponding protein domain structures of class I and class II collagenase provided new insights into the mechanism of enzyme-mediated tissue dissociation. Both classes of collagenase contain four protein domains: a large catalytic domain that cuts native collagen or gelatin, linking domain(s) (no known function), and collagen binding domain(s). Intact class I has one catalytic domain, a linking domain, and two collagen binding domains whereas intact class II has a catalytic domain, two linking domains, and one collagen binding domain. Only those forms of collagenase containing a catalytic domain and at least ...

The fixation of dissociated chick embryonic cells in the presence of ruthenium red or alcian blue revealed a remarkable reduction in the binding of these cations to cell surfaces following tryptic digestion at 37 °C, but not after trypsin used at 4 °C or EDTA.. The reconstitution of anionic sites present over the cell plasma membrane was studied in retina, liver and heart cells from embryos of different ages, cultivated according to a method which promotes cell reaggregation. All these cells regenerated ruthenium red-stainability within the first hour of culture. Culturing at 15 °C, substitution of saline for the culture medium or addition of puromycin or of neuraminidase to the culture media did not affect this restitutive process. Neuraminidase and hyaluronidase digestion were not able to alter the ruthenium red-binding, once it was present.. From these data and from the reports available in the literature it has been concluded that the anionic binding-sites cannot be identified with the ...

Klostridiji so grampozitivne bakterije, ki tvorijo spore. Naravno okolje klostridijev je nasplošno živalsko in človeško črevesje, zato so vegetativne oblike bakterij in spore prisotne v zemlji, še posebej v tisti, ki je gnojena s hlevskim gnojem, ter v prahu, vodah in na rastlinah. So obligatni anaerobi, kar pomeni, da lahko rastejo in se razmnožujejo samo v okolju, v katerem ni prisoten kisik. Prisotnost kisika izrazimo z oksido-redukcijskim potencialom (Eh), ki mora biti za rast klostridijev v določenem okolju čim bolj negativen. V tkivu pride do znižanja Eh v primeru slabe prekrvljenosti in prisotnosti tujkov, ki vsebujejo kalcij (Ca2+), kar je največkrat posledica raznovrstnih poškodb. Zato so okužbe s klostridiji povezane z vojnami (npr. strelne rane) in raznovrstnimi nesrečami, kjer nastanejo obsežne in okužene rane. Plinsko gangreno najpogosteje povzroča C. perfringens tipa A, lahko pa tudi C. septicum, C. novyi tipa A, C. histolyticum, C. sordelii in C. ramnosum[1]. Vse ...

Compare the frequency distribution of the number of patients with reduction in finger contracture to within 0-5 degrees of normal (zero degrees) and the number who require re-treatment with open-label collagenase after treatment with these regimens. ...

Transcriptome profiling is widely used to infer functional states of specific cell types, as well as their responses to stimuli, to define contributions to physiology and pathophysiology. Focusing on microglia, the brains macrophages, we report here a side-by-side comparison of classical cell-sorting-based transcriptome sequencing and the RiboTag method, which avoids cell retrieval from tissue context and yields translatome sequencing information. Conventional whole-cell microglial transcriptomes were found to be significantly tainted by artifacts introduced by tissue dissociation, cargo contamination and transcripts sequestered from ribosomes. Conversely, our data highlight the added value of RiboTag profiling for assessing the lineage accuracy of Cre recombinase expression in transgenic mice. Collectively, this study indicates method-based biases, reveals observer effects and establishes RiboTag-based translatome profiling as a valuable complement to standard sorting-based profiling strategies.

In a study of chronic epileptics in a residential centre we recorded a 56% incidence of Dupuytrens disease. The lesions were usually bilateral and symmetrical and frequently associated with knuckle pads and plantar nodules. There was no direct relationship between Dupuytrens disease and frozen shoulder. Dupuytrens disease was seen equally in those with idiopathic or symptomatic epilepsy. The incidence increased with the duration of epilepsy and is probably a sequel to long-term administration of phenobarbitone. Reasons are given for presuming that the association between Dupuytrens disease and antiepileptic therapy is mediated through the peripheral stimulation of tissue growth factors and not through the central release of growth hormone or through alterations in liver metabolism.. ...

BACKGROUND: Dupuytrens disease of the hand is a common condition affecting the palmar fascia, resulting in progressive flexion deformities of the digits and hence limitation of hand function. The optimal treatment remains unclear as outcomes studies have used a variety of measures for assessment. METHODS: A literature search was performed for all publications describing surgical treatment, percutaneous needle aponeurotomy or collagenase injection for primary or recurrent Dupuytrens disease where outcomes had been monitored using functional measures. RESULTS: Ninety-one studies met the inclusion criteria. Twenty-two studies reported outcomes using patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) ranging from validated questionnaires to self-reported measures for return to work and self-rated disability. The Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score was the most utilised patient-reported function measure (n=11). Patient satisfaction was reported by eighteen studies but no single method was used

Symptoms of Dupuytrens disease usually include lumps and pits within the palm. The lumps are generally firm and adherent to the skin. Thick cords may develop, extending from the palm into one or more fingers, with the ring and little fingers most commonly affected. These cords may be mistaken for tendons, but they actually lie between the skin and the tendons. These cords cause bending or contractures of the fingers. In many cases, both hands are affected, although the degree of involvement may vary.. The initial nodules may produce discomfort that usually resolves, but Dupuytrens disease is not typically painful. The disease may first be noticed because of difficulty placing the hand flat on an even surface, such as a tabletop (see Figure 3). As the fingers are drawn into the palm, one may notice increasing difficulty with activities such as washing, wearing gloves, shaking hands, and putting hands into pockets. Progression is unpredictable. Some individuals will have only small lumps or ...

The etiopathogenesis is multifactorial with a strong genetic predisposition. It is the most frequent genetic disorder of connective tissues. We have collected clinical data from 736 unrelated individuals with DD who underwent surgical treatment from Germany and Switzerland. We evaluated a standardised questionnaire, assessed the importance of different risk ...

Hypothesis: Early DD can be treated in a variety of ways, including Intralesional steroid injections and radiotherapy, but there are no objective ways of assessing disease regression. The current literature relies on clinical examination of palmar nodule consistency. An objective non-invasive measure of tissue pliability that can be used as an outcome measure to effectively compare clinical interventions is required. Method: Tonometry has been used clinically to evaluate tissue hardness of cutaneous scars and lymphoedema. The resistance of tissues to compression is measured using a durometer, a hand-held mechanical gauge which is rested against the patients skin. Patients with Dupuytrens disease and healthy volunteers were recruited prospectively to a clinical trial to determine whether tonometry can be used to distinguish between the hardness of palmar nodules in patients with Dupuytrens disease and palmar skin of healthy volunteers at an equivalent site. Ethical approval was obtained and all

XIAFLEX® (an FDA-approved version of the enzyme clostridial collagenase histolyticum) is FDA approved to treat adult Dupuytrens contracture patients with a palpable cord. The medication is injected into the cord in the patients palm and melts it away. Now researchers at Stony Brook University in Long Island, New York are about to begin phase IIa placebo-controlled clinical trials injecting the same collagenase to break down the collagen that anchors cellulite dimples in order to even out skin irregularities. This could be the first FDA approved medication to treat cellulite. The phase I pilot clinical trial of 10 women treated for cellulite on the back of their thighs showed an average 77% reduction of cellulite as soon as 1 day after the injection with maintenance of the result after 6 months, average 76% reduction of cellulite in the injected area at 6 months. Only minimal side effects such as bruising, soreness, and mild swelling, were reported shortly after the injection. After 6 months, ...

Background: Dupuytrens disease (DD) is a debilitating fibro-proliferative disorder of the hand characterized by the appearance of fibrotic lesions (nodules and cords) leading to flexion contractures of the fingers and loss of hand function. Although the molecular mechanism of DD is unknown, it has been suggested that transforming growth factor-beta2 (TGF-beta2) may play an important role in the underlying patho-physiology of the disease. The purpose of this study was to further explore this hypothesis by examining the effects of TGF-beta2 on primary cell cultures derived from patient-matched disease and normal palmar fascia tissue using a three-dimensional collagen contraction assay. Methods: Fibroblast-populated collagen lattice (FPCL) contraction assays using primary cell cultures derived from diseased and control fascia of the same DD patients were studied in response to exogenous TGF-beta2 and neutralizing anti-TGF-beta2 antibodies. Results: Contraction of the FPCLs occurred significantly faster

Dupuytrens Disease (DD) has surely plagued people for hundreds of years at least. Whilst the 20th century saw surgery for any condition - DD included - becoming safer, the ideal treatment was not established. For a disease with an inexorable tendency to progress until treatment was inevitable and to recur after treatment, opinions ranged from the most radical excision with grafting, to the most simple least invasive option of needle fasciotomy. The wound could be left open to heal by secondary intention, or closed with a variety of flaps. In the 21st century, treatment paradigms have been challenged with the option of collagenase which can dissolve a segment of disease - a surgical drug.. There is much we do not yet know and that we may never know. Whilst randomized studies of one intervention against another would be desirable there are many issues. Would patients really consent to surgery rather than to a needle? If they are to have a needle, would they really consent to the concept of ...

Dupuytrens contracture can affect one or both hands. It typically results in a claw-like contracting of the hand with the pinky and ring finger curled into the palm. Learn about hand exercises that can help mild to moderate Dupuytrens contracture and after surgery.

Symptoms of Dupuytrens contracture usually include lumps and pits within the palm. The lumps are generally firm and stuck to the skin. Thick cords may develop from the palm into one or more fingers. The ring and small fingers are most commonly involved. These cords may cause bending of the fingers. In many cases, both hands are affected, but each hand can be affected differently. The lumps can be uncomfortable in some people, but Dupuytrens contracture is not typically painful. The disease may first be noticed because of difficulty placing the hand flat on a surface. As the fingers are drawn into the palm, it may be more difficult to wash hands, wear gloves, shake hands, and get hands into pockets. It is difficult to predict how the disease will progress. Some people have only small lumps or cords while others will develop severely bent fingers. The disease tends to be more severe if it occurs at an earlier age.. ...

A scientist from the Lawson Health Research Institute has been recognized for research that may contribute to an increased quality of life for people suffering from Dupuytrens contracture. Dupuytrens contracture is a disease of the hand that results in an inability to straighten the fingers. Because the cause of Dupuytrens contracture is unknown, the development of a curative therapy has been hampered and treatment is now symptomatic. Molecular studies, performed by a team lead by Dr. Bing Siang Gan, a Scientist at the Lawson Health Research Institute and Staff Surgeon at the Hand and Upper Limb Centre, have now uncovered a possible cause of Dupuytrens contracture, thereby making it possible that curative therapies can be developed..

The precise cause of a Dupuytrens contracture is not known. However, it is known that it occurs more frequently in patients with diabetes mellitus, seizure disorders (epilepsy), and alcoholism.. A Dupuytrens contracture can be inherited. In medical terms, the inherited form of a Dupuytrens contracture is transferred in the family as a so-called autosomal dominant trait with incomplete penetrance and partial sex-limitation. This means that the gene for a Dupuytrens contracture is not on an X or Y chromosome (sex chromosome) but on one of the other 44 chromosomes. Consequently, one version of the gene is enough to cause the disorder (it is dominant), but not everyone who has the gene has the disorder (the gene is not fully penetrant), and the disorder is most frequent in males (the gene expression is partially limited to males).. Typically, a Dupuytrens contractures occur in males over the age of 50. It is more common in males of Northern European descent. The ring and little finger are ...

Consultant Orthopaedic Hand & Wrist Surgeon, Mr Raj Bhatia, specialises in Dupuytrens contracture surgery, performed at his Bristol Hand and Wrist clinic.

Dupuytrens contracture is a condition that affects the hands and fingers, causing one or more fingers to gradually and irreversibly curl into the palm of the hand. Over time, this prevents the sufferer from being able to use the hand properly, making day to day tasks, such as grooming and shaking hands more difficult. It occurs when the connective tissue in the palm thickens, causing small hard lumps, called nodules, to develop under the skin of the palm. Over time, the nodules can develop to form cords of tissue that then shorten (contract) and pull a finger or thumb towards the palm. There are no agreed guidelines for the surgical treatment of this condition. However, 16,000 surgical procedures were performed in 2011-2012 costing the NHS £50 million. The most common operation is a limited fasciectomy (LF), which involves opening up the hand and removing the thickened cords causing the condition. It can be performed under general or regional anaesthesia and has a 4-6 week recovery period. A ...

They have told us that there is nothing they can or will do for her because she is so young. She has, however, been accepted to a wonderful hospital in Portland, Oregon (Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children). What do you know about this disorder, and is there a cure for it? What is the prognosis for her life? Is there any good news that you can give me about a possible future? If not, what can we expect for her? The progress of the symptoms are getting worse fast and she has had some major difficulties lately. Robi Nelson - Concerned Mom - Portland, Oregon

BACKGROUND: Inflammation and matrix degradation are the hallmarks of high-risk atherosclerosis that leads to myocardial infarction and stroke. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), key players in innate immunity, are upregulated in atherosclerotic lesions, but their functional role in human atherosclerosis is unknown. We explored the effects of blocking TLR-2, TLR-4, and myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88), a signaling adaptor shared by most TLRs and interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R), in an in vitro model of human atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Carotid endarterectomies were obtained from patients with symptomatic carotid disease. Cells were isolated via enzymatic tissue dissociation and cultured in the presence or absence of TLR signaling blockers. A dominant-negative form of MyD88 (MyD88(DN)) decreased the production of monocyte chemotactic protein-1/CCL2 (P=0.000), IL-8/CXCL8 (P=0.006), IL-6 (P=0.002), matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1; P=0.002), and MMP-3 (P=0.000), as well as nuclear
