Maintenance of serum calcium by parathyroid hormone-related peptide during lactation in a hypoparathyroid patient.

Mather KJ, Chik CL, Corenblum B.

Department of Medicine, University of Calgary, AB, Canada.

We describe the changes in calcium homeostasis seen in a hypoparathyroid woman during the third trimester and with lactation following her second pregnancy. During lactation her need for supplemental calcium and calcitriol abated, and in fact she was transiently hypercalcemic and hypophosphatemic. This change was associated with a rise of serum parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) released systemically during lactation. This is the first documentation of the time course of serum PTHrP levels from the late third trimester throughout lactation in a hypoparathyroid woman. In this context PTHrP may have sufficient biological activity to compensate for parathyroid hormone deficiency.

Adipsic hypernatremia in two patients with AIDS and cytomegalovirus encephalitis.

Keuneke C, Anders HJ, Schlondorff D.

Medizinische Poliklinik, Ludwig-Maximilian University, Munich, Germany.

In patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), hypoosmolality is frequently observed, whereas hypernatremia is distinctly rare. We report two patients with advanced AIDS and cytomegalovirus (CMV) encephalitis, who developed severe hypernatremia without any thirst sensation, that is, adipsic hypernatremia. Both developed severe hypernatremia of up to 164 and 162 mmol/L, with serum osmolalities of 358 and 344 mOsmol/kg while remaining alert and denying thirst. Serum antidiuretic hormone (ADH) levels were 0.9 and 1.5 pg/mL, inappropriately low for the concomitant serum osmolalities. Vital signs were stable. During hypernatremia, urine osmolalities were 327 and 340 mOsmol/kg, and urine Na+ levels were 56 and 119 mmol/L, respectively. Periventricular white matter lesions were seen on cerebral nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI) in case 1, but the pituitary appeared normal in both cases. Survival after onset of hypernatremia was 6 and 4 weeks, respectively. Autopsy in case 1 showed typical findings of CMV encephalitis but normal pituitary, confirming that infection with HIV or CMV most likely caused the dysfunction of the central osmostat.

Decreased immunoexpression of prostate inhibin peptide in prostatic carcinoma: a study with monoclonal antibody.

Zhang PJ, Driscoll DL, Lee HK, Nolan C, Velagapudi SR.

Department of Pathology, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo, NY, USA.

Prostate inhibin peptide (PIP) is a follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) regulating peptide produced by the prostate. The mechanism of its endocrine role in regulating prostate growth is believed to be androgen-independent but FSH-dependent. Previous studies using polyclonal antibody proposed PIP as a prostatic-specific marker in cancer diagnosis. However, the recently available monoclonal antibody has not yet been evaluated. Paraffin sections of 72 prostatectomy specimens for prostate cancer with or without hormonal blockage therapy and 10 nonneoplastic prostate tissues from autopsy were stained by using PIP monoclonal antibody (clone: 4A6A6) with the avidin-biotin complex method. PIP reactivity was semiquantitatively estimated in prostatic carcinoma (PCA), prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and normal tissue in each case when ever present. Statistical analyses were performed accordingly. PIP expression is predominantly cytoplasmic. Urothelium, seminal vesicles, inflamed prostatic glands, basal cells, and squamous metaplasia were negative for PIP. Average percentage of cells expressing PIP was significantly decreased in PIN (40%) and PCA (14%) when compared with BPH (81%) and normal tissue (68%). There was no correlation of tumor PIP level with patient's age, tumor size, Gleason score, tumor stage, or the usage of preoperative hormonal blockage therapy. PIP monoclonal antibody should be used with caution as a prostate-specific marker in surgical pathology. The mechanism for this alteration and the effect of PIP on prostatic tumor growth, particularly in patients under a variety of hormonal therapies, needs further study.

BACKGROUND: Hormone replacement therapy has been associated in some studies with reductions in breast cancer mortality among women who develop this disease. It is unclear whether this association reflects the biologic activity of the hormones or the earlier detection of tumors among hormone users. We examined breast cancer mortality among women who were diagnosed with axillary lymph node-negative and node-positive breast cancer according to the currency of estrogen use at diagnosis. METHODS: Vital status through June 1995 was determined for 2614 patients with postmenopausal breast cancer diagnosed during the period from 1973 to January 1981. We estimated adjusted hazard-rate ratios (adjusting for tumor size, age, race, Quetelet [body mass] index, and number of positive lymph nodes in women with node-positive disease) and unadjusted cumulative probabilities of breast cancer death over time since diagnosis. RESULTS: Among patients with node-negative disease, rate ratios for breast cancer mortality associated with current use compared with nonuse at diagnosis were 0.5 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.3-0.8) until 144 months after diagnosis and 2.2 (95% CI = 0.9-5.2) thereafter. Mortality was not statistically significantly lower in past users. The cumulative probabilities of breast cancer mortality at the end of follow-up were 0.14, 0.14, and 0.09 in nonusers, past users, and current users, respectively. Among women with node-positive disease, the rate ratios associated with current and past use were both 0.5 until 48 months after diagnosis (95% CI = 0.3-0.8 for current users; 95% CI = 0.3-0.9 for past users) and were 1.1 (95% CI = 0.7-1.7) and 1.8 (95% CI = 1.2-2.7), respectively, thereafter. The cumulative probabilities of breast cancer mortality were 0.32, 0.39, and 0.27 in nonusers, past users, and current users, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with breast cancer who were using replacement estrogens at the time of diagnosis experienced reductions in breast cancer mortality, which waned with the time since diagnosis.

Distinct anabolic response of osteoblast to low-intensity pulsed ultrasound.

Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound, a form of mechanical energy transmitted as high-frequency acoustical pressure waves, provides noninvasive therapeutic treatment for accelerating fracture repair and distraction osteogenesis. Relatively young osteoblasts respond to ultrasound by transiently upregulating message levels of immediate-early genes as well as that of osteocalcin and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). Osteocytes derived from newborn rat tibia and calvaria responded to a lesser extent only in c-fos and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) messages. Compared with the stretched osteocytes, which use stretch-activated and parathyroid hormone (PTH)-potentiated Ca2+ influx as an entry route to the protein kinase A (PKA) signal transduction pathways, there was no evidence of Ca2+ internalization by any of the cells tested on exposure to the ultrasound. On the other hand, inhibitors of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and upstream phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) blocked COX-2 and osteocalcin upregulation by the ultrasound-exposed ST2, murine bone marrow-derived cells. This is distinct from the aforementioned osteocytic response to low-frequency stretching and implies the involvement of integrins. Our findings suggested that accelerated fracture repair and distraction osteogenesis by the low-intensity pulsed ultrasound depend, at least in part, on the stimulation of osteoblastic cells at relatively early stages of osteogenic lineage. Bone is under control of multiple regulatory mechanisms so that diverse physical forces can be reflected to the microenvironment of each cell, in turn, to the entire bone.

The average human scalp is covered by approximatey 100,000 hair follicles. Each hair undergoes hair cycle and normally 50-100 hairs randomly fall out a day, which is unnoticeable because lost hair is replaced by as many new hairs springing up daily. Hair loss results from the fall out of hair from the hair follicle. Alopecia or excessive, premature hair loss is the condition caused by many factors. Loss of hair itself does not pose critical health problems because biological role of human hair is relatively marginal. Hair on our scalp protects the head from mechanical shock, heat loss, and exposure to UV-light. The eyelashes and eyebrowes protect the eyes, and hair in the ear canal or the nasal passages help filter out particles and pathogens, thus protecting our internal organs. However, hair does play important social role: it is one of the major determinants of our appearance and identity in daily life. Fullness of hair also implicates or manifests physical integrity and youthfulness of the person. Losing hair could have more than just emotional impacts on individuals. The hair is a unique organ that goes through a characteristic cycle consisting of an immature phase, a growing phase called anagen, a transitional phase between the growing phase and the resting phase called catagen, and finally a resting phase called telogen in which the hair stops growing, waiting to fall out. 85-90% of hairs on our body are in anagen phase or growing phase, which lasts anywhere from two to five years. This phase is followed by a short regression phase, or catagen, which lasts 2-3 weeks. Approximately 1% of hair follicles are in catagen. Approximately 10-15% of hair follicles are in the resting phase, the telogen, which lasts about 3-5 months. Hair follicles typically goes through 10-20 asynchronous cycles during the lifetime. Persistent loss of more than 150 hairs would consist a state of hair loss, or alopecia, albeit it could be temporary.
