Abstract

Patients with chronic renal failure often suffer from severe metabolic bone disease. This is usually either osteitis fibrosa cystica or osteomalacia. While parathyroidectomy is indicated in osteitis fibrosa cystica, desferrioxamine is an exciting new development in the treatment of osteomalacia.

Effect of temperature and some common metals on the stability of volatile anaesthetic-Entonox mixtures.

Thermal stability of pressurised ready-to-use volatile liquid anaesthetic mixtures (halothane, isoflurane and enflurane) in Entonox (commercially available premixed 50% N2O, 50% O2 mixture) were investigated at temperatures of 20, 258, 400, 503 and 602 degrees C on glass, stainless steel, copper and aluminium by gas chromatography and GC-MS. It was found that most of the decomposition products formed were halogenated compounds and the observed thermal stabilities in glass, stainless steel and copper allowed a thermal treatment up to 250 degrees C without any decomposition problem. Aluminium was found to be the most effective metal at causing decomposition of the anaesthetic mixtures even at lower temperatures.

Aluminum alters intracellular calcium homeostasis in vitro.

The present paper reports data regarding the influence of aluminum, at micromolar concentrations, on intracellular calcium homeostasis. Al3+ modifies Ca2+ uptake in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), accelerates Ca2+ release from mitochondria and strongly inhibits Ca2+-ATPase activity with a consequent high-level calcium accumulation inside the cell. These results suggest that Al3+ neurotoxicity may be related to an alteration of the intracellular calcium regulatory system.
