Berlin · New York Isoelectric Focussing of Human Thyroxine Binding Globulin (Thyropexin) and Human Prealbumin (Transthyretin) By Christine Luckenbach^ R. Wahl2 and E. Kailee2 1 Institut fur Anthropologie und Humangenetik 2 Medizinische Klinik und Poliklinik, Abteilung IV Eberhard-Karls- Universität Tübingen (Received November 7, 1991/Aprü 22, 1992) Summary: Two batches of the highly purified thyroid hormone-binding plasma proteins, human thyropexin and transthyretin, which were prepared in gram quantities for use in animal experiments, were subjected to analysis by isoelectric focussing. Under these conditions, it was observed that human transthyretin was composed of two components. This was presumably due to the use of 8 mol/1 urea. The preparations of both human transthyretin and human thyropexin contained some products of decomposition which probably arose in the course of the purification processes and, in addition, possibly also contained some normal genetic variants of human thyropexin. In spite of the alterations, both protein preparations largely retained their thyroid hormone-binding capacity, which is essential for in vivo studies on the re-entry of thyroid hormones from the extravascular space into the circulation. For therapeutic use in thyrotoxicosis, human transthyretin seems to be preferable to human thyropexin.

Personalized Medicine for Reconstruction of Critical-Size Bone
www.nature.com/npjregenmed ARTICLE OPEN Personalized medicine for reconstruction of critical-size bone defects – a translational approach with customizable vascularized bone tissue ✉ Annika Kengelbach-Weigand 1 , Carolina Thielen 1, Tobias Bäuerle2, Rebekka Götzl 1,5, Thomas Gerber3, Carolin Körner4, Justus P. Beier1,5, Raymund E. Horch 1 and Anja M. Boos1,5 Tissue engineering principles allow the generation of functional tissues for biomedical applications. Reconstruction of large-scale bone defects with tissue-engineered bone has still not entered the clinical routine. In the present study, a bone substitute in combination with mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) with or without growth factors BMP-2 and VEGF-A was prevascularized by an arteriovenous (AV) loop and transplanted into a critical-size tibia defect in the sheep model. With 3D imaging and immunohistochemistry, we could show that this approach is a feasible and simple alternative to the current clinical therapeutic option. This study serves as proof of concept for using large-scale transplantable, vascularized, and customizable bone, generated in a living organism for the reconstruction of load-bearing bone defects, individually tailored to the patient’s needs. With this approach in personalized medicine for the reconstruction of critical-size bone defects, regeneration of parts of the human body will become possible in the near future. npj Regenerative Medicine (2021) 6:49 ; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41536-021-00158-8 1234567890():,; INTRODUCTION vascular networks consisting of endothelial cells can be created Therapeutic options for bone defects that cannot heal sponta- directly within tissue replacement materials7.

The Femoral Hernia: Some Necessary Additions
International Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2014, 5, 752-765 Published Online July 2014 in SciRes. http://www.scirp.org/journal/ijcm http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ijcm.2014.513102 The Femoral Hernia: Some Necessary Additions Ljubomir S. Kovachev Department of General Surgery, Medical University, Pleven, Bulgaria Email: [email protected] Received 28 April 2014; revised 27 May 2014; accepted 26 June 2014 Copyright © 2014 by author and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Purpose: The anatomic region through which most inguinal hernias emerge is overcrowded by various anatomical structures with intricate relationships. This is reflected by the wide range of anatomic interpretations. Material and Methods: A prospective anatomic study of over 100 fresh cadavers and 47 patients operated on for femoral hernias. Results: It was found that the transver- salis fascia did not continue distally into the lymphatic lacuna. Medially this fascia did not reach the lacunar ligament, but was rather positioned above it forming laterally the vascular sheath. Here the fascia participates in the formation of a fossa, which varies in width and depth—the pre- peritoneal femoral fossa. The results did not confirm the presence of a femoral canal. The dis- tances were measured between the pubic tubercle and the medial margin of the femoral vein, and between the inguinal and the Cooper’s ligaments. The results clearly indicate that in women with femoral hernias these distances are much larger. Along the course of femoral hernia exploration we established the presence of three zones that are rigid and narrow.
