    Notes: Summary Adult male rats were fed a diet containing 0.15% calcium, 0.3% phosphorus, and either 100, 50, or 20 mg of prednisolone per kg of diet. All these levels of prednisolone led to osteopenia, decreased intestinal absorption of calcium, slightly lower serum calcium and phosphorus, and a decreased level of serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. Exogenous parenteral 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 corrected steroid-induced changes in serum calcium and phosphorus, but could not completely correct the low intestinal calcium transport; nor did it prevent the development of osteopenia. The prednisolone-induced osteopenia seems at least in part to be caused by impaired intestinal calcium transport. The impaired calcium transport may be the result of low levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and a direct effect of presnisolone on the intestine.

    Bone density in medieval skeletons (1995)

    Notes: Abstract We studied the most complete skeletons found in an excavation from the 14th and 15th century in central Stockholm. One hundred eighty-seven were from men and 156 from women: 241 individuals were estimated to be between 20 and 39 and 102 between 40 and 59 years old at death. We examined the bones radiographically and by dual photon absorptiometry. The bone mineral density (BMD) was similar to the finding in North America and Northern Europe today as was the relationship between men and women. However, there appeared to be a higher diaphyseal bone density in the lower extremities, especially in men. The femur score was higher and the BMD of the femoral and tibial shafts was higher than today. In the upper extremities the diaphyseal bone density was lower. Meema's index, as well as the metacarpal score, was smaller than in individuals in this century and the BMD of the humeral shaft was also lower than seen today. Overall, the metaphyseal bone density was similar to what we now consider normal; i.e., the mean BMD of the femoral neck was 0.96 g/cm2 in men and 0.90 g/cm2 in women and of the distal radius 0.43 and 0.32 g/cm2, respectively. The low diaphyseal density and in the upper extremities may be related to the nutritional status, whereas the greater need for walking and standing in the 14th and 15th century might have led to the high diaphyseal density in the lower extremities. There was no evidence of bone loss after 40 years of age in either sex in our study. The average expected lifespan for an adult individual was less than 50 years and we suggest that the relatively high bone density in the older age group may be due to selection of the most physically fit. The activity pattern, therefore, may be considered the most important determinant for the differences.

    Effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 on bone tissue in the rabbit: Studies on fracture healing, disuse osteoporosis, and prednisone osteoporosis (1984)

    Notes: Summary A closed tibial fracture, which was controlled by an intramedullary stainless steel pin, was created in 16 rabbits. Eight rabbits were treated with 75 ng of 1,25(OH)2D3 daily as subcutaneous (s.c.) injections. After three weeks, the fractured tibia resisted a force of 101,7±21.0 Newtons in the control group and 57.3±8.0 Newtons in animals given 1,25(OH)2D3 (m±SE,P〈0.05). In another group of eight rabbits, the left hindleg was immobilized in a plastic splint. Four rabbits were given 75 ng of 1,25(OH)2D3/day s.c. and the effect of immobilization was studied on the calcaneus. Bone ash/cm3 of the calcaneus on the immobilized side was decreased by 11±2% in control rabbits and by 20±2% in the group treated with 1,25(OH)2D3 indicating a more advanced immobilization osteoporosis (m±SE,P〈0.05), which was also demonstrated by studies of bone density. Eighteen rabbits were used in a study of the effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 on the development of prednisolone osteoporosis. The dose of prednisolone was 2.5 mg per day, given by the oral route. After four months, the density of the femur was 1.53±0.02 g/cm2 in control rabbits and 1.42±0.01 in prednisolonetreated animals (P〈0.01). In rabbits additionally given 1,25(OH)2D3, the mean value for bone density was further lowered (n.s.). It appears that 1,25(OH)2D3 exaggerates disuse osteoporosis and prednisolone osteoporosis and impairs fracture healing in rabbits. These results differ from what has been shown earlier with 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment in the rat.

    Effect of 1-alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 on osteoporosis in rats induced by oophorectomy (1979)

    Notes: Summary Fifty adult female rats were used to study the effect of 1-alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 (1α-OH-D3)on bone after oophorectomy. The experimental period was 6 months. At the end of the experiment the femurs and the tibias were investigated for bone mass and composition. Significant signs of osteopenia occurred as a result of oophorectomy. The treatment with 1α-OH-D3 induced only minor changes in blood chemistry but increased bone mass significantly. The findings support the view that 1α-OH-D3 may be a valuable tool in the treatment of osteoporosis resulting from ovarian insufficiency.

    Tissue reactions to wear products from polyacetal (Delrin®) and UHMW polyethylene in total hip replacement (1987)

    Notes: The tissue reaction to implanted materials and their wear products is important for the long-term fixation of a total hip replacement (THR). Recent reports indicate a relatively high incidence of aseptic loosening with Christiansen total hip prostheses. We examined tissue reactions to wear products in two groups of prostheses: (1) 16 Christiansen prostheses with polyacetal (Delrin) sockets, and (2) 18 Charnley-Müller total hip prostheses with ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWP) sockets. Specimens from these 34 patients were compared in a combined qualitative and semiquantitative morphological study. We saw similar histological changes in specimens of both groups, but specimens from the bone-cement interfaces of the acetabulum and femur shaft in the polyacetal group showed more inflammation and necrosis.
