Filtered Load

By means of the infusion of small amounts of sodium sulphate it has been possible to elevate the filtered load of inorganic phosphate to the renal tubule in fasted dogs without the administration of exogenous phosphate. Under these circumstances, the reabsorption of phosphate remains virtually complete, even when filtered loads are reached which result in a substantial phosphaturia when phosphate has been administered. By comparing phosphate reabsorption and excretion in fasted animals, and in animals at various intervals after feeding, the existence of homeostatic adjustments in the renal tubular transport of inorganic phosphate has been demonstrated. The available evidence suggests that the intracellular disposition of phosphate itself may be an important factor in determining the rate of renal tubular phosphate transport at filtered loads in the physiological range. The limitations of the determination of the phosphate "Tm" as a device for studying homeostatic processes have been discussed.

Category: Ankle Arthritis Introduction/Purpose: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is a broad term that describes a clinically heterogeneous group of arthritides of unknown cause, which begin before 16 years of age persist for more than 6 weeks. It is one of the main diseases affecting Paediatric age group Joints in a form of a chronic, long standing and debilitating disease. It is estimated that 1 in 1000 children present with JIA in the UK alone. Radiographic progression of the disease occurs early, and if not addressed may result in permanent joint destruction and poor functional outcomes. The ankle is frequently involved, but it is unclear whether this is due to synovitis, tenosynovitis. To date, no evidence of combined therapies or integrated care for juvenile idiopathic arthritis patients with F&A problems exists. Methods: JIA patients with ankle involvement presented to orthopedic foot and ankle services between 2012-2017 were include. All patients had weight bearing x-rays ankle measuring Tibio talar angle, also underwent Ankle MRI following standard hospital MRI protocols. The MRI scans were used to measure the affected areas in talus. Talus was divided into 4 anatomical regions (Anterio-medial, Anterio-lateral, posterior-medial, posterolateral). lesion involving wider areas were recorded as two or more regions accordingly, i.e.: AM and PM involvement at the same time were given yes for area of involvement in both region and recorded separately. Bilateral Ankles involvement were also recorded. Tibial growth plate involvement in these patients on the MRI scan was recorded. Demographic data was collected along with side, disease pattern, age at diagnosis and age at presentation to F&A speciality and patients requiring surgical intervention. Measurements were carried out by two in dependent orthopaedics F&A surgeons. Results: 14 patients were included in this study with a total of 17 ankles. 12 were females (N=12, 85.7%). Mean age was between 8-21 years (15.0 ± 4.08, M±SD). Time to presentation was 2.9 to 8.4 years (5.1 ± 1.4 years). 5 had Oligo-articular involvement (37.5%),9 patients had polyA (64.2%). 11/17 Right Ankles (64.7%), 3 left (21.4%). 3 bilateral (21.4%). 11/17 Ankles in Varus (64.7%), 1/17 valgus (5.8%), 5/17 neutral (29.4%). Mean Tibiotalar angle was 80° ± 13.5° (Range 49° - 100°). 12/17(70.5%) had involvement of the antero-medial part of the talus,1/17(5.8%)antero-lateral, 8/17 postero-medial(47.06%), 3/17(17.6%) postero-lateral . All the patients with postero-lateral involvement, they also had postero-medial involvement. (p=0.043). 13/17 ankles (76.4%) had tibial growth plate involvement. 5 patients (35.7%) had subsequent operations. Conclusion: This study shows a pattern of involvement in the talus and the effect this disease has on Tibiotalar alignment. This needs to be confirmed on a larger number of patients. And highlights the need for an earlier presentation of these patients to F&A surgeon to prevent the disease sequela. Further research is required to study the tibial growth plate involvement for its contribution to the varus / valgus deformity in a chronological method. Further research is also required to quantify the time frame for disease and deformity progression in the Tibiotalar Joint.

Tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) is a tibia bone problem in broilers. Anacardic acid (AA) is a traditional Chinese medicine, which is commonly used to treat arthritis in human. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of AA against TD. A total of 300 day-old poultry birds were equally divided and distributed into three different groups: Control, TD and AA groups. The results showed that the feed conversion ratio was significantly lower in the TD group than control chickens. The tibia bone parameters including weight, length and width were of low quality in TD chickens, while the width of the tibial growth plate was enlarged remarkably. Whereas, in the AA treatment group, the tibia bone parameters showed improvement and tend to return to normal. The antioxidant parameters level of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD), total and antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) was significantly decreased, while malondialdehyde (MDA) level was increased significantly in TD affected chickens. AA administration restored the antioxidant parameters significantly. The gene expression revealed a decrease in Wnt4 expression in TD chickens as compared to control chickens, while AA treatment up-regulated the Wnt4 expression. The present study demonstrates that the AA plays an important role to prevent the lameness and restore the size of tibial growth plate of chickens by regulating the expression of Wnt4.

Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitor

Cyclic GMP (cGMP) is an important intracellular regulator of endochondral bone growth and skeletal remodeling. Tadalafil, an inhibitor of the phosphodiesterase (PDE) type 5 (PDE5) that specifically hydrolyzes cGMP, is increasingly used to treat children with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), but the effect of tadalafil on bone growth and strength has not been previously investigated. In this study, we first analyzed the expression of transcripts encoding PDEs in primary cultures of chondrocytes from newborn rat epiphyses. We detected robust expression of PDE5 as the major phosphodiesterase hydrolyzing cGMP. Time-course experiments showed that C-type natriuretic peptide increased intracellular levels of cGMP in primary chondrocytes with a peak at 2 min, and in the presence of tadalafil the peak level of intracellular cGMP was 37% greater ( P < 0.01) and the decline was significantly attenuated. Next, we treated 1-mo-old Sprague Dawley rats with vehicle or tadalafil for 3 wk. Although 10 mg·kg−1·day−1 tadalafil led to a significant 52% ( P < 0.01) increase in tissue levels of cGMP and a 9% reduction ( P < 0.01) in bodyweight gain, it did not alter long bone length, cortical or trabecular bone properties, and histological features. In conclusion, our results indicate that PDE5 is highly expressed in growth plate chondrocytes, and short-term tadalafil treatment of growing rats at doses comparable to those used in children with PAH has neither obvious beneficial effect on long bone growth nor any observable adverse effect on growth plate structure and trabecular and cortical bone structure.
