The myelodysplastic syndromes represent a preleukaemic state in which a clonal abnormality of haemopoietic stem cell is characterised by a variety of phenotypic manifestations with varying degrees of ineffective haemopoiesis. This state probably develops as a sequence of events in which the earliest stages may be difficult to detect by conventional pathological techniques. The ...

Mice possessing no Has2 expression in chondrocytes died near birth and displayed abnormalities throughout their skeleton. By embryonic day 18.5, the long bones were short and wide, and possessed excessive mineralization within their diaphysis, with little evidence of diaphyseal bone modeling. However, this does not appear to be ...

Thyroid hormones are critical determinants of postnatal skeletal development. Thyroid hormone deficiency or excess in children results in severe abnormalities of linear growth and bone maturation. These clinical observations have been recapitulated in mutant mice and these models have facilitated studies of the mechanisms of thyroid ...

Osteochondrodysplasias are caused by abnormal development and growth of cartilage and bone. These abnormalities have been reported in both humans and animals with dwarfism. The basset hound is considered a breed with a disproportionate prevalence of dwarfism, the cause of which is unknown. To determine the type of ...
The book is divided into seven major sections on Decrease in bone density, Osteosclerosis, Localized lesions in bone, Lesions affecting the epiphyses, Abnormalities in the region of the metaphysis, Periosteal reactions, and Abnormalities in size and modelling of bone.
Growth is a physiologically demanding process that requires adequate amounts of energy as well as optimal intake of essential nutrients. Key nutritional factors, including energy and calcium, have been identified as important during growth. Large-breed puppies have a genetic tendency toward fast growth rates that can stress developing ...
Growth hormone is essential for normal linear growth and the attainment of an adult mature height. It also plays an important role in cartilage growth and the attainment of normal bone mass. There is only one rheumatic disorder, namely acromegaly, in which abnormalities of ...
Bone development is dependent on the functionality of three essential cell types: chondrocytes, osteoclasts and osteoblasts. If any of these cell types is dysfunctional, a developmental bone phenotype can result. The bone disease osteopetrosis is caused by osteoclast dysfunction or impaired osteoclastogenesis, leading to increased ...

Osetogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a heritable disease, which results from an abnormal amount or structure of Type I collagen. Bisphosphonates, a class of synthetic antiresorptive drugs used in osteoporosis management, are also used to decrease fracture incidence and improve quality of life in children with OI. In this study we used the oim mouse to test the hypotheses that ...
During investigations on the carcinogenic effects of alpha and BETA - emitting radionuclides, serial radiographs of rats injected with single and repeated doses of P/sup 32/, Pu/sup 239/ or Am/sup 241/ were studied to record the development of radioinduced changes. Among the lesions observed were failure of longitudinal bone growth, ...
This article describes an unusual skeletal dysplasia in a male fetus diagnosed by ultrasound at 18 weeks of gestation. The clinical and radiologic findings resemble thanatophoric dysplasia. Histologic examination revealed abnormalities in the resting cartilage, physeal growth plate, and bone. The resting cartilage contained peculiar ...
Desmosterolosis is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the 3?-hydroxysterol-Delta24 reductase (DHCR24) gene, with severe developmental anomalies including short limbs. We utilized DHCR24 knockout (KO) mice to study the underlying bone pathology. Because the KO mice died within a few hours after birth, we cultured metatarsal bones from ...
Skeletal growth is a dynamic process. A knowledge of the structure and function of the normal growth plate is essential in order to understand the pathophysiology of abnormal skeletal growth in various diseases. In this well-illustrated article, the authors provide a radiographic classification of ...
The relation of the distribution of Pu to the sequence of histopathologic bone changes was studied using autoradiographic, microradiographic, histopathologic, and v ascular injection techniques. Dogs were sacrificed from 1 to 1576 days following a single intravenous administration of 2.7 mu c/kg of Pu/sup +4/ citrate given at 14 to 18 morths of age. Pu induced ...
GH and IGF-I are important regulators of bone homeostasis and are central to the achievement of normal longitudinal bone growth and bone mass. Although GH may act directly on skeletal cells, most of its effects are mediated by IGF-I, which is present in the systemic circulation and is synthesized by peripheral ...
The growth/differentiation factors (GDFs) are a subgroup of the bone morphogenetic proteins best known for their role in joint formation and chondrogenesis. Mice deficient in one of these signaling proteins, GDF-5, exhibit numerous skeletal abnormalities, including shortened limb bones. The primary aim of this ...
The longitudinal growth of long bones occurs in growth plates where chondrocytes synthesize cartilage that is subsequently ossified. Altered growth and subsequent deformity resulting from abnormal mechanical loading is often referred to as mechanical modulation of bone ...
Bone regeneration is a complex, well-orchestrated physiological process of bone formation, which can be seen during normal fracture healing, and is involved in continuous remodelling throughout adult life. However, there are complex clinical conditions in which bone regeneration is required in large quantity, such as for skeletal ...
Thirty-three infants less than six weeks of age and suspected of having osteomyelitis were examined by bone scintigraphy. Each of the 25 sites of proved osteomyelitis in 15 individuals demonstrated abnormal radionuclide localization. Ten additional scintigraphically positive but radiographically normal sites were detected. Optimal quality scintigrams of ...
Bone abnormalities have repeatedly been reported in animals experimentally depleted of Mg and, less frequently, in conditions associated with hypermagnesemia. Effects of Mg depletion include reduced bone growth and maturation, brittleness and reduced breaking strength, increased bone density, ...

Lesions due to abnormal modelling of trabecular bone were identified in the femurs of 26 of 55 prenatal and neonatal calves at postmortem examination. Abnormalities included growth retardation lines and lattices, focal retention of primary spongiosa and persistence of secondary spongiosa. The possible cause and ...
The mechanisms by which inorganic phosphate (P(i)) homeostasis controls bone biology are poorly understood. Here we used Dmp1 null mice, a hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia model, combined with a metatarsal organ culture and an application of neutralizing fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) antibodies to gain insight into the roles of P(i) in ...
Given the dramatic increase in skeletal size during growth, the need to preserve skeletal mass during adulthood, and the large capacity of bone to store calcium and phosphate, juxtaposed with the essential role of phosphate in energy metabolism and the adverse effects of hyperphosphatemia, it is not surprising that a complex systems biology has evolved ...
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a lipid mediator that acts in paracrine systems via interaction with a subset of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). LPA promotes cell growth and differentiation, and has been shown to be implicated in a variety of developmental and pathophysiological processes. At least 6 LPA GPCRs have been identified to date: LPA(1)-LPA(6). Several studies ...
