Familiar drugs may prevent cancer

Despite positive results in large scale chemoprevention trials, many physicians are unaware of the potential cancer preventive properties of drugs in common usage. The antioestrogen tamoxifen and the selective cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitor celecoxib have been licensed in the USA for the chemoprevention of breast and colorectal cancers respectively in selected high risk individuals. Similarly, folate and retinol have been shown to decrease the incidence of colorectal cancer and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin respectively in large scale intervention trials. Other retinoids have proved efficacious in the tertiary chemoprevention of cancers of the breast and head/neck. Epidemiological evidence also exists in favour of aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors preventing certain cancers. Phytochemicals may represent less toxic alternatives to these agents. Although some of these drugs are available without prescription and most are not yet licensed for use in cancer chemoprevention, physicians and students of medicine should be aware of this accumulating evidence base. Practitioners should be amenable to patient referral to discuss complex issues such as risk estimation or potential benefit from intervention.

A new dasyurid marsupial from Kroombit Tops, south-east Queensland, Australia : the Silver-headed Antechinus, Antechinus argentus sp. nov. (Marsupialia: Dasyuridae)

Antechinus argentus sp. nov. is currently only known from the plateau at the eastern escarpment of Kroombit Tops National Park, about 400km NNW of Brisbane and 60km SSW of Gladstone, south-east Queensland, Australia. Antechinus flavipes (Waterhouse) is also known from Kroombit Tops NP, 4.5km W of the nearest known population of A. argentus; A. mysticus Baker, Mutton and Van Dyck has yet to be found within Kroombit Tops, but is known from museum specimens taken at Bulburin NP, just 40km ESE, as well as extant populations about 400km to both the south-east and north-west of Kroombit NP. A. argentus can be easily distinguished in the field, having an overall silvery/grey appearance with much paler silver feet and drabber deep greyish-olive rump than A. flavipes, which has distinctive yellow-orange toned feet, rump and tail-base; A. argentus fur is also less coarse than that of A. flavipes. A. argentus has a striking silver-grey head, neck and shoulders, with pale, slightly broken eye-rings, which distinguish it from A. mysticus which has a more subtle greyish-brown head, pale buff dabs of eyeliner and more colourful brownish-yellow rump. Features of the dentary can also be used for identification: A. argentus differs from A. flavipes in having smaller molar teeth, as well as a narrower and smaller skull and from A. mysticus in having on average a narrower snout, smaller skull and dentary lengths and smaller posterior palatal vacuities in the skull. A. argentus is strongly divergent genetically (at mtDNA) from both A. flavipes (9.0–11.2%) and A. mysticus (7.2–7.5%), and forms a very strongly supported clade to the exclusion of all other antechinus species, in both mtDNA and combined (mtDNA and nDNA) phylogenies inferred here. We are yet to make detailed surveys in search of A. argentus from forested areas to the immediate east and north of Kroombit Tops. However, A. mysticus has only been found at these sites in low densities in decades past and not at all in several recent trapping expeditions conducted by the authors. With similar habitat types in close geographic proximity, it is plausible that A. argentus may be found outside Kroombit. Nevertheless, it is striking that from a range of surveys conducted at Kroombit Tops in the last 15 years and intensive surveys by the authors in the last 3 years, totalling more than 5 080 trap nights, just 13 A. argentus have been captured from two sites less than 6 km apart. If this is even close to the true geographic extent of the species, it would possess one of the smallest distributions of an Australian mammal species. With several threats identified, we tentatively recommend that A. argentus be listed as Endangered, pending an exhaustive trapping survey of Kroombit and surrounds.

Segmental torso masses and joint torques produced by gravity in the adolescent scoliotic spine

Introduction Calculating segmental torso masses in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients allows the gravitational loading on the scoliotic spine during relaxed standing to be estimated. Methods Low dose CT data was used to calculate vertebral level-by-level torso masses and spinal joint torques for 20 female AIS patients (mean age 15.0 ± 2.7 years, mean Cobb angle 53 ± 7.1°). ImageJ software (v1.45 NIH USA) was used to threshold the T1 to L5 CT images and calculate the segmental torso volume and mass for each vertebral level. Masses for the head, neck and arms were taken from published data. Intervertebral joint torques in the coronal and sagittal planes at each vertebral level were found from the position of the centroid of the segment masses relative to the joint centres (assumed to be at the centre of the intervertebral disc. The joint torque at each level was found by summing torque contributions for all segments above that joint. Results Segmental torso mass increased from 0.6kg at T1 to 1.5kg at L5. The coronal plane joint torques due to gravity were 5-7Nm at the apex of the curve; sagittal torques were 3-5.4Nm. Conclusion CT scans were in the supine position and curve magnitudes are known to be smaller than those in standing. Hence, this study has shown that gravity produces joint torques potentially of higher than 7Nm in the coronal plane and 5Nm in the sagittal plane during relaxed standing in scoliosis patients. The magnitude of these torques may help to explain the mechanics of AIS progression and the mechanics of bracing. This new data on torso segmental mass in AIS patients will assist biomechanical models of scoliosis.

Gravity-induced coronal plane joint moments in the adolescent scoliotic spine

INTRODUCTION Calculating segmental (vertebral level-by-level) torso masses in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients allows the gravitational loading on the scoliotic spine during relaxed standing to be estimated. METHODS Existing low dose CT scans were used to calculate vertebral level-by-level torso masses and joint moments occurring in the spine for a group of female AIS patients with right-sided thoracic curves. Image processing software, ImageJ (v1.45 NIH USA) was used to reconstruct the torso segments and subsequently measure the torso volume and mass corresponding to each vertebral level. Body segment masses for the head, neck and arms were taken from published anthropometric data. Intervertebral joint moments at each vertebral level were found by summing each of the torso segment masses above the required joint and multiplying it by the perpendicular distance to the centre of the disc. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Twenty patients were included in this study with a mean age of 15.0±2.7 years and a mean Cobb angle 52±5.9°. The mean total trunk mass, as a percentage of total body mass, was 27.8 (SD 0.5) %. Mean segmental torso mass increased inferiorly from 0.6kg at T1 to 1.5kg at L5. The coronal plane joint moments during relaxed standing were typically 5-7Nm at the apex of the curve (Figure 1), with the highest apex joint of 7Nm. CT scans were performed in the supine position and curve magnitudes are known to be 7-10° smaller than those measured in standing [1]. Therefore joint moments produced by gravity will be greater than those calculated here. CONCLUSIONS Coronal plane joint moments as high as 7Nm can occur during relaxed standing in scoliosis patients, which may help to explain the mechanics of AIS progression. The body mass distributions calculated in this study can be used to estimate joint moments derived using other imaging modalities such as MRI and subsequently determine if a relationship exists between joint moments and progressive vertebral deformity.

Kohdennetut liposomit syövän hoidossa

Suurin ongelma syöpätautien lääkehoidossa on sen aiheuttamat toksiset sivuvaikutukset. Tyypillisesti vain noin 1 % elimistöön annostellusta lääkeaineesta saavuttaa hoitoa tarvitsevat syöpäsolut, loppuosa lääkeaineesta jää vahingoittamaan elimistön terveitä soluja. Toksiset sivuvaikutukset rajoittavat lääkehoidon annoksen nostamista elimistössä riittävälle pitoisuudelle, mikä johtaa usein sairauden ennenaikaiseen pahenemiseen ja mahdollisen lääkeaineresistenssin kehittymiseen. Liposomien välittämä lääkeaineen kohdentaminen voidaan jakaa kahteen eri menetelmään: passiiviseen ja aktiiviseen kohdentamiseen. Liposomien passiivisen kohdentamisen tarkoituksena on lisätä sytotoksisen lääkeaineen paikallistumista pelkästään kasvainkudokseen. Passiivinen kohdentaminen perustuu liposomien kulkeutumiseen verenkierron mukana, jolloin liposomit kerääntyvät epänormaalisti muodostuneeseen kasvainkudokseen. Liposomien aktiivisella kohdentamisella pyritään parantamaan passiivisesti kohdentuvien liposomien terapeuttista tehokkuutta kohdentamalla lääkeaineen vaikutus pelkästään syöpäsoluihin. Aktiivisessa kohdennuksessa liposomin pintaan kiinnitetään ligandi, joka spesifisesti tunnistaa kohdesolun. Tämän pro gradu -tutkielman kirjallisen osion tarkoituksena oli tutustua syöpäkudokseen kohdennettujen liposomien ominaisuuksiin tehokkaan soluunoton ja sytotoksisuuden saavuttamiseksi. Kokeellisessa osiossa tutkittiin kohdennettujen liposomien soluunottoa ja sytotoksista vaikutusta ihmisen munasarjasta eristetyillä adenokarsinoomasoluilla (SKOV-3). Liposomit kohdennettiin setuksimabi (C225, Erbitux®) vasta-aineella, jonka on todettu olevan tietyissä syöpätyypeissä (mm. keuhko- ja kolorektaalisyövissä, pään ja kaulan syövissä sekä rinta-, munuais-, eturauhas-, haima- ja munasarjasyövissä) yli-ilmentyneen epidermaalisen kasvutekijäreseptoriperheen HER1-proteiinin (ErbB-1, EGFR, epidermal growth factor receptor) spesifinen ja selektiivinen inhibiittori. Afrikan viherapinan munuaisista lähtöisin olevaa CV-1 solulinjaa käytettiin kontrollina kuvaamaan elimistön normaaleja soluja. Kohdennettujen liposomien soluunottoa tutkittiin soluunottokokeilla, joissa käytettiin kontrollina kohdentamattomia pegyloituja liposomeja. Setuksimabi-vasta-aineen spesifinen sitoutuminen EGF-reseptoriin todettiin kilpailutuskokeilla. Doksorubisiinia sisältävien immunoliposomien sytotoksisuutta selvitettiin Alamar Blue™ -elävyystestillä. Lisäksi immunoliposomien säilyvyyttä seurattiin mittaamalla liposomien keskimääräinen halkaisija noin kahden viikon välein. Setuksimabi-vasta-aineella kohdennettujen liposomien soluunotto oli huomattavasti suurentunut SKOV-3 syöpäsoluissa ja doksorubisiinia sisältävät kohdennetut liposomit aiheuttivat voimakkaamman sytotoksisen vaikutuksen kuin kohdentamattomat liposomit. Kohdennettujen doksorubisiiniliposomien sytotoksisuus tuli kuitenkin esille viiveellä, mikä viittaa lääkeaineen hitaaseen vapautumiseen liposomista. Suurentunutta soluunottoa ja sytotoksista vaikutusta ei havaittu CV-1 solulinjassa. Kohdennettujen liposomien sovellusmahdollisuudet lääketieteessä ja syövän hoidossa ovat merkittävät. Tällä hetkellä liposomien kliininen käyttö rajoittuu passiivisesti kohdennettuihin liposomeihin (Doxil® (Am.),Caelyx® (Eur.)). Lupaavista solukokeista huolimatta kohdennettujen liposomien terapeuttinen käyttö tulevaisuudessa näyttää haasteelliselta.

Cortical thickness mapping to identify focal osteoporosis in patients with hip fracture.

BACKGROUND: Individuals with osteoporosis are predisposed to hip fracture during trips, stumbles or falls, but half of all hip fractures occur in those without generalised osteoporosis. By analysing ordinary clinical CT scans using a novel cortical thickness mapping technique, we discovered patches of markedly thinner bone at fracture-prone regions in the femurs of women with acute hip fracture compared with controls. METHODS: We analysed CT scans from 75 female volunteers with acute fracture and 75 age- and sex-matched controls. We classified the fracture location as femoral neck or trochanteric before creating bone thickness maps of the outer 'cortical' shell of the intact contra-lateral hip. After registration of each bone to an average femur shape and statistical parametric mapping, we were able to visualise and quantify statistically significant foci of thinner cortical bone associated with each fracture type, assuming good symmetry of bone structure between the intact and fractured hip. The technique allowed us to pinpoint systematic differences and display the results on a 3D average femur shape model. FINDINGS: The cortex was generally thinner in femoral neck fracture cases than controls. More striking were several discrete patches of statistically significant thinner bone of up to 30%, which coincided with common sites of fracture initiation (femoral neck or trochanteric). INTERPRETATION: Femoral neck fracture patients had a thumbnail-sized patch of focal osteoporosis at the upper head-neck junction. This region coincided with a weak part of the femur, prone to both spontaneous 'tensile' fractures of the femoral neck, and as a site of crack initiation when falling sideways. Current hip fracture prevention strategies are based on case finding: they involve clinical risk factor estimation to determine the need for single-plane bone density measurement within a standard region of interest (ROI) of the femoral neck. The precise sites of focal osteoporosis that we have identified are overlooked by current 2D bone densitometry methods.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHS) (I): Measures of prevention and control

Measures of prevention and control against polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) focus on an official food control, a code of best practice to reduce PAHs levels by controlling industry and in the development of a chemopreventive strategy. Regulation (EU) 835/2011 establishes maximum levels of PAHs for each food group. In addition, Regulations (EU) 333/2007 and 836/2011 set up the methods of sampling and analysis for its official control. Scientific studies prove that the chemopreventive strategy is effective against these genotoxic compounds effects. Most chemopreventive compounds studied with proven protective effects against PAHs are found in fruit and vegetables.

Influence of social status on the welfare of growing pigs housed in barren and enriched environments

One hundred and twenty-eight pigs were reared in barren or enriched environments from birth to slaughter at 21 weeks of age. Pigs remained as litter-mate groups until 8 weeks of age when they were mixed into groups of eight animals. These groups were balanced for gender and weight and contained two pigs from each of four different litters. Each pig was assigned high or low social status on the basis of relative success in aggressive interactions at mixing. Injury levels were assessed on a weekly basis from 8 to 2 1 weeks of age. Pigs were exposed to two group food competition tests after a period of food restriction at 10 weeks of age, and to an individual novel pen test at 11 weeks of age. Behavioural and plasma cortisol responses to both types of test were recorded. Low social status was associated with increased injuries to the head, neck and ears, and therefore reduced welfare. Pigs with low social status showed reduced resource-holding ability in the food competition test, and greater avoidance of a novel object during the novel pen test. It is suggested that avoidance of the novel object reflected 'learned' fearfulness in these individuals. Environmental enrichment did not negate the effect of low social status on injury levels, but did appear to reduce the negative influence of low social status on stress during food restriction, and led to a reduction in fearfulness in response to the novel pen test. These results suggest that environmental enrichment may improve the we/fare of growing pigs with low social status.

Relargage d’ions métalliques après l’arthroplastie de la hanche à grand diamètre avec couple de frottement métal sur métal

La dégénérescence articulaire sévère de la hanche est une pathologie fréquente et son traitement ultime est le remplacement prothétique. L’arthroplastie la plus répandue au monde est la prothèse totale de hanche (PTH) avec un couple de frottement métal-sur-polyéthylène (MPE). Cependant ce type d’intervention présente une longévité limitée à cause de l’usure de PE et ne convient pas aux patients actifs souffrant de coxarthrose sévère tôt dans leur vie. Afin de palier à ce problème, une nouvelle génération de surfaces de frottement métal-sur-métal (MM) est actuellement employée. Ces surfaces de frottement sont utilisées en PTH avec tête de 28 mm, en resurfaçage (RH) et avec la PTH à tête de grand diamètre. Alors qu’il y a beaucoup d’évidence à l’égard du bon fonctionnement des implants PTH 28 mm et du RH, les données quant aux performances in vivo des PTH MM à grand diamètre manquent. Malgré cela, ces implants sont utilisés à grande échelle. Dans un premier temps, l’objectif de ce travail de recherche était d’évaluer l’effet et de comparer les taux d’ions chrome (Cr) et cobalt (Co) chez des sujets porteurs de PTH MM à grand diamètre à ceux de 64 porteurs de RH, tous deux possédant des surfaces de frottement aux propriétés tribologiques identiques. Dans un deuxième temps, nous avons comparé les taux ioniques (Cr, Co et titane (Ti)) entre quatre PTH MM à grand diamètre provenant de fabricants différents (Zimmer, DePuy, Smith & Nephew et Biomet). Les mesures d’ions étaient effectuées dans le sang entier dans un laboratoire indépendant par la technique de spectrophotométrie de masse à haute résolution HR-ICP-MS, pour l’ensemble de ce travail de recherche. Les deux comparaisons ont démontré le rôle crucial joué par la modularité au niveau de la jonction tête-col des PTH MM à grand diamètre. En effet, des écarts considérables dans les concentrations ioniques de Co ont été retrouvés entre les RH et PTH Durom ayant un couple de frottement identique, ainsi qu’entre les 4 différents designs de PTH MM à grand diamètre comparés entre eux. La PTH MM à grand diamètre Durom était la moins favorable alors que celle de Biomet était la plus performante. Nos observations démontrent que des sources inattendues comme la jonction tête-col de certains implants PTH MM à grand diamètre peuvent contribuer au relargage ionique systémique. Une meilleure compréhension de ce phénomène est indispensable avant l’utilisation clinque de nouveaux implants de ce type.

Carcass composition of Venda indigenous scavenging chickens under village management

Four Venda indigenous scavenging (VIS) chickens (one young male and one young female of 10-16 weeks of age, a mature cockerel and a mature hen) were randomly purchased from each of six adjacent rural villages during three different seasons (autumn, winter and spring) to determine the meat yield and carcass chemical composition. A total of 72 chickens were slaughtered and feathers, head, neck, viscera, feet and lungs were removed. The live body weight, dressed carcass weight and also the mass of the breast without wings, thighs and drumsticks were recorded with bones and skin. The muscle tissues of the breast and both legs without tendons and fat were sampled for chemical analysis and were analysed for dry matter, ether extract, crude protein and ash. The carcass weight, dressing %, mass of the breast, mass of the thighs, mass of the drumsticks, breast yield, thighs yield and drumsticks yield of both grower and adult VIS chickens were not influenced by season. The crude protein of the grower chickens breast muscles and fat content of the adult chicken leg muscles differed with season. The meat from VIS chickens provided a constant nutrient (crude protein) supply throughout the year to the rural communities.

Impacto de la auto - percepción de imagen corporal en sujetos con VIH y lipoatrofia facial.

La lipoatrofia facial es uno de los efectos secundarios que con más frecuencia se presenta y afecta la calidad de vida del paciente con VIH que recibe tratamiento antiretroviral. Metodología: Estudio observacional de corte transversal que involucró 126 sujetos, a quienes se aplicó una encuesta semi-estructurada para determinar cómo percibe el paciente que la lipoatrofia facial lo afecta en áreas afectiva, social, laboral y ocupacional; evaluar la percepción de la imagen corporal; caracterizar sociodemográficamente; determinar la prevalencia de lipoatrofia facial y establecer si hay diferencias de percepción de la imagen corporal según la caracterización sociodemográfica. Resultados: La Prevalencia de lipoatrofia facial fue del 57.1%. El grado de satisfacción en cuanto a apariencia física tuvo un promedio de 5.01±2.69. El 88.7% y 80.3% de los pacientes evaluados sintieron tristeza y frustración con su apariencia respectivamente. El 53.5% y el 42.9% informaron menos oportunidades laborales y educativas. La orientación sexual reportada con mayor frecuencia fue homosexualidad. No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre el grado de satisfacción de apariencia con aspectos sociodemográficos excepto en pacientes que recibieron apoyo psicológico. Conclusión: Primer estudio en el país que evalúa el impacto de la lipoatrofia facial en pacientes con VIH y tratamiento antiretroviral. Aunque la presencia de lipoatrofia facial sobre la cotidianidad no es estadísticamente significativa, si resulta trascendental pues existen porcentajes importantes de emociones y alteraciones psicológicas que afectan directamente a estos sujetos en las áreas afectiva, social, laboral y ocupacional. Se hace necesaria la realización de más estudios que permitan obtener mayor de evidencia.

Uso de lisados bacterianos en la prevención de la infección respiratoria recurrente en pediatría. Revisión sistemática de la literatura

Las infecciones respiratorias altas y bajas son una causa común de morbimortalidad infantil. Se ha propuesto el uso de los lisados bacterianos para prevenir las infecciones recurrentes sin embargo su uso aún se considera controversial. Metodología: Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura. La búsqueda se realizó a través de las bases de datos PUBMED, Embase, Ovid, LiLaCS y Cochrane library plus. Se incluyeron metanálisis publicados en idiomas inglés y español, entre los años 1998 y 2012. Se realizó una evaluación de calidad siguiendo la estrategia Quorum y un análisis cualitativo y cuantitativo de los resultados. Resultados: Se incluyeron 4 revisiones sistemáticas de la literatura con metanálisis. Fue apreciable la disminución de las recurrencias de las infecciones respiratorias relacionadas con el uso de los lisados bacterianos. Los lisados bacterianos disminuyen la necesidad de uso de antibióticos. No se encontró evidencia sobre el uso de los lisados sobre desenlaces como la necesidad de intervenciones adicionales, tiempo de hospitalización, costo relacionado con la atención en salud. No se reportaron eventos adversos de importancia. Conclusión: Los lisados bacterianos son eficaces en disminuir la recurrencia de las infecciones respiratorias en pacientes en edad pediátrica.
