RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: This laboratory study assessed the performance of a novel fluoride dentifrice containing micro-fibrillated cellulose (MFC) and entrapped silica. METHODS: Removal of extrinsic stains was assessed using the pellicle cleaning ratio (PCR) method, and radioactive dentin abrasivity (RDA) was measured, to calculate a cleaning efficiency index (CEI). Fluoride efficacy was evaluated using widely used remineralization and fluoride uptake methods. The test product (Protegera™) was compared to common dentifrices (Crest - Cavity Protection™ and ProHealth™, Sensodyne Pronamel™, Arm & Hammer™ Advanced Whitening, Crest ProHealth™, and Colgate Optic White™). RESULTS: The PCR for the MFC dentifrice (141) was comparable to three known marketed stain-removing dentifrices (Arm & Hammer™ Advanced Whitening, Crest ProHealth™, and Colgate Optic White™) but it had a significantly lower RDA (88 ± 6) than 5 other products. This gave it the highest CEI of the tested products (2.0). In a 10-day pH cycling study, the fluoride efficacy of the MFC product was comparable to Sensodyne Pronamel and Crest Cavity Protection. The MFC dentifrice was superior for promoting fluoride uptake into incipient enamel lesions compared to the USP reference dentifrice. CONCLUSION: The MFC dentifrice has low abrasion, but despite this, it is highly effective in removing stained pellicle. It also is an efficacious fluoride source when compared to relevant commercially available fluoride dentifrices with high dentin abrasivity. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The addition of micro-fibrillated cellulose to a fluoride dentifrice gives a low abrasive product that can effectively remove external stains, and serve as an effective fluoride source. This combination of benefits seems well suited to enamel protection and caries prevention.

OBJECTIVE: To study the prevalence of abnormal renal functions among children living with HIV (CLHIV) receiving tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) containing antiretroviral therapy (ART). METHODS: A prospective, observational study was conducted among CLHIV aged 10 years to 21 years attending the pediatric HIV clinic. We included CLHIV weighing ≥ 30 kg who had been receiving TDF-containing regimens for at least 6 months, with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 60 ml/min/m2 at enrolment and for whom baseline laboratory parameters were available before starting ART. Clinical and laboratory parameters like serum creatinine, serum phosphate, urinary protein and glucose estimation, CD4 count and viral load were noted from records. The mean change in serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), creatinine clearance, serum phosphate, and presence of urinary glucose and protein by dipstick were assessed at 3- and 12-months follow-up. RESULTS: We enrolled 70 patients with mean (SD) age 14.99 (2.45) years who had been receiving TDF-based ART for a mean (SD) duration of 14.60 (12.80) months. At 3-months and 12-months follow-up, 32.85% and 41.42% patients, respectively, had eGFR below 90 mL/min/1.73m2, while 4.2% and 2.8% patients, respectively, had eGFR between 50-60 mL/min/1.73m2. One patient had creatinine clearance below 50 mL/min/1.73m2. Four patients had hypophosphatemia at the first and last follow-up respectively, and five patients had proteinuria. There was no statistically significant change in CD4 counts, serum potassium, or serum uric acid during study duration. CONCLUSION: TDF-containing ART regimen is associated with decreased eGFR, creatinine clearance and proteinuria.

OBJECTIVES: To compare the effectiveness of using a 0.454% stannous fluoride-containing dentifrice twice daily in relieving dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) in a Chinese population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a single-centre, randomized, controlled, examiner-blind, three-treatment-arm, parallel-group study in participants with clinically diagnosed DH. Subjects who met inclusion criteria (n = 197) were randomly allocated into 3 groups: test group (n = 66)-using a 0.454% stannous fluoride-containing dentifrice twice daily; positive control group (n = 64)-using a 5.0% calcium sodium phosphosilicate-containing dentifrice twice daily; negative control group (n = 67)-using a 1150 ppm of NaF dentifrice twice daily. Status of DH was assessed at week 4 and week 8 by the same independent examiner. Changes from baseline in Schiff sensitivity score, tactile threshold and Dentine Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire (DHEQ) score were analysed using analysis of covariance models. The DHEQ evaluated subject-perceived oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). RESULTS: Statistically significant improvements in mean Schiff scores (p < 0.0001 for all products at Weeks 4 and 8), tactile threshold (p < 0.0001 for test and negative control at Weeks 4 and 8: Week 4 p = 0.0040 and Week 8 p < 0.0001 for positive control) and all DHEQ scores (p < 0.01 for all groups) were observed. No statistically significant differences were observed in the adjusted mean between all dentifrices at both timepoints, potentially driven by a placebo effect. Forty-two treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported (n = 32 subjects), with 2 serious AEs (n = 1) in the test group. TEAEs were not considered treatment-related. CONCLUSIONS: All groups demonstrated statistically significant improvements in Schiff score, tactile threshold and OHRQoL. However, due to a possible placebo effect in the negative control, there were no statistically significant differences between the dentifrices. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study adds to the growing research exploring why the placebo effect is a common phenomenon in DH studies. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04950465.

OBJECTIVES: To analyze the evolution of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the presence of renal tubular dysfunction during the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and to determine the risk factors involved. METHODS: Retrospective cohort observational study of adults with chronic hepatitis B. Exclusion: hepatitis C virus-HBV coinfection, diabetes, baseline GFR less than 60â ml/min. Measurements of serum and urinary creatinine and phosphate; urinary albumin, retinol-binding protein (RBP) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) were performed. Univariate and multivariate analyses tracked factors associated with worsening GFR. RESULTS: A total of 120 individuals were included: 35% NAÏVE (G1); 49.2% HBV using TDF (G2); 15.8% HBV-HIV using TDF (G3); 63.3% men; 60.8% white; 30% hypertensive. Average age was 50.5 years (SDâ ±â 12.9 years). Reactive HBeAg predominated in G3 ( P â <â 0.001) and cirrhosis in G2 ( P â <â 0.036). NGAL was elevated in 5.3% of cases (G1â =â 3.2%; G2â =â 8.7%; G3â =â 0%; P â =â 0.582), RBP in 6.7% (G1, G3â =â 0%; G2â =â 13.6%; P â =â 0.012), urinary phosphate/creatinine ratio in 16.2% (G1â =â 15.2%; G2â =â 14.5%; G3â =â 23.5%; P â =â 0.842) and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio in 12.9% (G1â =â 12.2%; G2â =â 10.7%; G3â =â 21.1%; P â =â 0.494). Worsening of renal function occurred in 22.5% of the population (G1â =â 11.9%; G2â =â 28.8%; G3â =â 26.3%; P â =â 0.122), independently associated only with systemic arterial hypertension [adjusted odds ratio (AOR)â =â 4.14; P â =â 0.008], but not to TDF (AORâ =â 2.66; P â =â 0.110) or male sex (AORâ =â 2.39; P â =â 0.135). However, the concomitance of these variables generated a high estimated risk for this outcome (51%). CONCLUSIONS: Renal tubular dysfunction was uncommon according to NGAL, RBP or urinary phosphate/creatinine ratio. TDF was not an independent factor for worsening renal function, significantly associated only with systemic arterial hypertension. However, in hypertensive men, the use of TDF should be monitored.

OBJECTIVE: Iron deficiency anemia is a very common health problem during pregnancy and intravenous (IV) iron substitution has become part of routine management. However, recent studies have raised concerns about the association of IV iron infusion and the development of secondary transitory hypophosphatemia (HP) in adults, including pregnant women. We aimed to evaluate the impact of IV iron administration during pregnancy on the phosphocalcic metabolism of newborns. METHODS: A prospective, single-center, observational study was performed from December 2022 to May 2023 at the maternity facility of Geneva University Hospitals. We included women treated with either IV or oral iron during pregnancy. At delivery, a maternal blood sample was collected to assess hemoglobin, hematocrit, and levels of ferritin, phosphate and calcium, as well as an umbilical cord blood sample to assess levels of phosphate and calcium. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the contribution of IV iron substitution on cord blood phosphatemia and calcemia, considering potential confounding factors. Neonatal HP was defined as a phosphate level <1.3 mmol/L. RESULTS: Forty-three pregnant women were included in our study. Among these, 22 were treated with ferric carboxymaltose and 21 with oral iron. There were three cases of maternal HP in the IV iron group (13.6%) and one (4.8%) in the control group (p value for the difference= .607). We observed one case (4.5%) of neonatal HP in the IV iron group and no cases in the control group. Median cord blood phosphatemia and calcemia were 1.7 mmol/L vs. 1.71 mmol/L and 2.67 mmol/L vs. 2.64 mmol/L in the IV iron and oral groups, respectively. After adjustment, IV iron administration had no impact on cord blood phosphate (p= .919) and calcium (p= .891) levels. CONCLUSION: No impact of IV iron administration during pregnancy was observed on the newborn phosphocalcic metabolism.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy and safety of a toothpaste containing 7.5 % HX-BGC in combating dentinal hypersensitivity. METHODS: A single-center, randomized, double-blind, three-group parallel-controlled design was employed, with Schiff Index and Yeaple Index as measurement indicators. The study evaluated the effectiveness of HX-BGC toothpaste, NovaMin toothpaste, and a negative control toothpaste without desensitizing agents. Eligible subjects underwent baseline examination after a 2-week washout period, and those meeting inclusion criteria and not meeting exclusion criteria entered the study. Participants were randomly assigned to use one of the three toothpastes. Follow-up examinations were conducted immediately after a single use and at 2, 4, and 6 weeks. Intra-group and inter-group comparisons were made for Schiff and Yeaple indices. Safety of the experimental toothpastes was assessed through participant feedbacks and oral soft tissue examinations. RESULTS: Subjects in the three groups were balanced in terms of age and gender distribution, with no baseline differences in indicators. Immediately after a single application of toothpaste, Yeaple indices increased, and Schiff indices decreased, with no significant differences among the groups. After 2 weeks of continuous use, Yeaple indices increased in all groups, with significant differences observed between the HX-BGC group and the other two groups. Schiff indices decreased in all groups, with the NovaMin group showing significant differences compared to the negative control group. At weeks 4 and 6, both indices in the HX-BGC group and the NovaMin group were significantly better than those in the negative control group, with the HX-BGC group outperforming the NovaMin group in the Yeaple index. No serious adverse reactions related to the study products were observed or reported by any participants. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This clinical trial confirmed the efficacy of HX-BGC in anti-dentinal hypersensitivity and supported the clinical application of the dentifrice containing HX-BGC. CONCLUSION: Compared to the negative control group, both HX-BGC and NovaMin toothpaste groups demonstrated more significant effects in combating dentinal hypersensitivity. No adverse reactions related to the experimental toothpastes were observed.

BACKGROUND: Disease-related variants in PHEX cause XLH by an increase of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) circulating levels, resulting in hypophosphatemia and 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D deficiency. XLH manifests in early life with rickets and persists in adulthood with osseous and extraosseous manifestations. Conventional therapy (oral phosphate and calcitriol) improves some symptoms, but evidence show that it is not completely effective, and it can lead to nephrocalcinosis (NC) and hyperparathyroidism (HPT). Burosumab (anti-FGF23 antibody) has shown to be effective and safety in the clinical trials. METHODS: The current real-world collaborative study evaluated genetic, clinical and laboratory data of XLH Brazilian adult patients treated with burosumab. RESULTS: Nineteen unrelated patients were studied. Patients reported pain, limb deformities and claudication, before burosumab initiation. 78% of them were previously treated with conventional therapy. The severity of the disease was moderate to severe (15 patients with score >5). At the baseline, 3 patients presented NC (16.7%) and 12 HPT (63%). After 16 ± 8.4 months under burosumab, we observed a significant: increase in stature (p = 0.02), in serum phosphate from 1.90 ± 0.43 to 2.67 ± 0.52 mg/dL (p = 0.02); in TmP/GFR from 1.30 ± 0.46 to 2.27 ± 0.64 mg/dL (p = 0.0001), in 1,25 (OH)2 D from 50.5 ± 23.3 to 71.1 ± 19.1 pg/mL (p = 0.03), and a decrease in iPTH from 86.8 ± 37.4 pg/mL to 66.5 ± 31.1 (p = 0.002). Nineteen variants were found (10 novel). HPT tended to develop in patients with truncated PHEX variants (p = 0.06). CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms the efficacy and safety of burosumab on XLH adult patients observed in clinical trials. Additionally, we observed a decrease in iPTH levels in patients with moderate to severe HPT at the baseline.

Sepsis is a major cause of death worldwide, with a mortality rate that has remained stubbornly high. The current gold standard of risk stratifying sepsis patients provides limited mechanistic insight for therapeutic targeting. An improved ability to predict sepsis mortality and to understand the risk factors would allow better treatment targeting. Sepsis causes metabolic dysregulation in patients; therefore, metabolomics offers a promising tool to study sepsis. It is also known that that in sepsis endothelial cells affecting their function regarding blood clotting and vascular permeability. We integrated metabolomics data from patients admitted to an intensive care unit for sepsis, with commonly collected clinical features of their cases and two measures of endothelial function relevant to blood vessel function, platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule and soluble thrombomodulin concentrations in plasma. We used least absolute shrinkage and selection operator penalized regression, and pathway enrichment analysis to identify features most able to predict 30-day survival. The features important to sepsis survival include carnitines, and amino acids. Endothelial proteins in plasma also predict 30-day mortality and the levels of these proteins also correlate with a somewhat overlapping set of metabolites. Overall metabolic dysregulation, particularly in endothelial cells, may be a contributory factor to sepsis response. By exploring sepsis metabolomics data in conjunction with clinical features and endothelial proteins we have gained a better understanding of sepsis risk factors.

Los enemas fosfatados son utilizados frecuentemente en el tratamiento de la constipación. Errores en la posología pueden producir complicaciones graves. Objetivo: Reportar un caso de toxicidad grave por enema fosfatado en un pre escolar sin factores de riesgo. Caso clínico: Paciente de 2 años con constipación funcional, evaluada en servicio de urgencia por dolor abdominal a quién se le diagnosticó un fecaloma impactado. Recibió 2 dosis de enema de fosfato, medio frasco de Fleet® adulto (Synthon, Chile) por vez, sin resolución de su fecaloma, decidiéndose hospitalización para proctoclisis. Posterior al ingreso presentó un cuadro clínico de tetania. Ingresó a la Unidad de Paciente Crítico donde se confirmó una hiperfosfemia e hipocalcemia secundaria. Se realizó corrección electrolítica progresiva, retiro de enema fosfatado residual del recto e hiperhidratación forzando diuresis. La tetania cedió 2 horas después del ingreso sin otras complicaciones. Se realizó proctoclisis y fue dada de alta a los 3 días. Conclusión: Los enemas fosfatados pueden presentar complicaciones graves en niños sin factores de riesgo. Errores en la posología son la causa más frecuente de toxicidad en este grupo, pero esta puede estar favorecida también por una administración y eliminación inadecuadas. Pediatras y personal de salud que atiende a niños deben conocer factores de riesgo, signos y síntomas de intoxicación por enemas fosfatados.
Phosphate enemas are frequently used in the treatment of constipation. Errors in dosage and administration can lead to severe complications. Objective: To report a case of severe toxicity of phosphate enemas in a child with no risk factors. Case: 2 years old female, with functional constipation, was brought to emergency department because abdominal pain. She was diagnosed with fecal impaction and received half a bottle of Fleet Adult® (Laboratorio Synthon, Chile) two times, with no clinical resolution, deciding to start proctoclisis in pediatric ward. Soon after admission, she presented painful tetany, but alert and oriented. Patient was transferred to PICU where severe hyperphosphatemia and secondary hypocalcemia were confirmed. Her treatment included electrolyte correction; removal of residual phosphate enema and hyperhydration. Tetany resolved over 2 hours after admission and no other complications. Proctoclisis was performed and patient was discharged three days after admission with pharmacological management of constipation. Conclusion: Phosphate enemas may cause serious complications in children with no risk factors. Errors in dosage, administration and removal of the enema are causes of toxicity in this group. Pediatricians and health personnel must be aware of risks and signs of toxicity of phosphate enema.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the use of desensitizing dentifrices used 15 days prior to and after in-office tooth bleaching could eliminate or reduce tooth sensitivity. After institutional review board approval and informed consent, 45 subjects were selected and divided into 3 groups according to the dentifrice selected: Colgate Total (CT), Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief (CS) or Sensodyne ProNamel (SP). The subjects used toothpaste and a toothbrush provided to them for 15 days prior to bleaching. They were then submitted to two in-office bleaching sessions (Whiteness HP Blue Calcium). Their tooth sensitivity was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for a week after each session. Their tooth shade alteration was measured with a Vitapan Classical shade guide to determine if the dentifrices could influence the effectiveness of the bleaching agent. The data were submitted to Wilcoxon, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests (α = 0.05). The use of desensitizing dentifrices did not affect the bleaching efficacy. In regard to tooth sensitivity, there was a statistically significant difference between the results of the Control Group and Group T2 after the first session (p = 0.048). There was no statistically significant difference in the results for the other groups after the first session. In regard to the second session, there was no statistically significant difference in the results for all the groups. The use of a desensitizing dentifrice containing nitrate potassium reduced tooth sensitivity during the bleaching regimen. Dentifrices containing arginine and calcium carbonate did not reduce tooth sensitivity. Color change was not influenced by the dentifrices used.

Introducción. La difusión de la colonoscopía incrementó el uso del fosfato sódico oral (NaP). Se han notificado complicaciones como deshidratación, hipotensión, insuficiencia renal aguda e insuficiencia renal crónica con nefrocalcinosis, y hasta casos fatales de hiperfosfatemia severa. Basado en la evidencia científica actual, en el presente trabajo se presentan los riesgos y contraindicaciones de la utilización de laxantes de fosfato sódico y cómo evitarlos. Material y métodos. Se realizó un análisis bibliográfico sobre el tema en PubMed y Google Advanced Search, de publicaciones en español e inglés, en el que se incluyen ensayos clínicos, revisiones bibliográficas, cartas, editoriales, guías prácticas, meta análisis y revisiones Cochrane. Resultados. Las complicaciones por NaP se relacionan con patologías que incrementan la absorción del fosfato, con hiperparatiroidismo y con disfunción renal. También se asocian con dosis mayores a 60 g y con intervalos entre las tomas menores a 5 h, y son facilitadas por la deshidratación. Se reportaron algunos casos en los que no se respetaron estas condiciones. La insuficiencia renal por nefrocalcinosis es irreversible. Conclusión. Se debe realizar una selección adecuada de los pacientes para evitar el uso de NaP en aquellos que presenten riesgo de desarrollar hiperfosfatemia o insuficiencia renal; además, es necesario efectuar una correcta hidratación oral, no administrar más de 60 g de NaP y evitar que los intervalos entre las dosis sean menores a 5 h.
Introduction. The spread of colonoscopy has increased the use of oral sodium phosphate (OSP). Complications such as dehydration, hypotension, acute renal failure and chronic kidney disease with nephrocalcinosis and even fatal cases of severe hyperphosphatemia have been reported. The risk and contraindications of OSP use and the ways to avoid them are shown in this paper according to the scientific evidence. Material and methods. Bibliographic analysis on this subject is carried in PubMed and Google Advanced Search, publications in Spanish and English, including clinical trials, bibliographic revisions, letters, editorials, practical guidelines, meta analyses and Cochrane reviews. Results. OSP complications are related to pathologies that increase its absorption, with hyperparathyroidism and with kidney impairment. They are also associated with OSP doses >60 g and with dose intervals <5 h and are facilitated by dehydration. Some cases have been reported in patients without those conditions. Nephrocalcinosis kidney disease is irreversible. Conclusion. Adequate patient selection is mandatory to avoid OSP in patients with risk of developing hyperphosphatemia or renal impairment; proper oral hydration is also essential as is not administering more than 60 g OSP, and avoiding dose intervals <5 h.

Avaliou-se o efeito de dois fosfatos, tripolifosfato de sódio (TPF) e hexametafosfato de sódio (HMF), incorporados à ração seca sob diferentes formas, como cobertura do grânulo da ração e no interior da massa da ração, na prevenção do desenvolvimento de cálculo dentário em 25 cães. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente ao acaso, com cinco tratamentos e cinco repetições. Os tratamentos experimentais foram: 1) ração seca; 2) ração seca com TPF incorporado na cobertura do grânulo da ração; 3) ração seca com TPF incorporado na massa da ração; 4) ração seca com HMF incorporado na cobertura do grânulo da ração; 5) ração seca com HMF incorporado na massa da ração. Os animais receberam as dietas por um período experimental de 90 dias e, após esse período, foram submetidos à avaliação da área de cálculo dentário formado. A inclusão do HMF na ração seca, tanto na cobertura dos grânulos como no interior da massa, e do TPF, como cobertura dos grânulos, reduziu o acúmulo de cálculo dentário em cães, comparada à dieta sem adição de fosfatos. O HMF foi o fosfato mais eficiente, ao reduzir o acúmulo de cálculo dentário em até 47 por cento. As formas de inclusão do HMF na ração não influenciaram o acúmulo de cálculo dentário. Houve redução do desenvolvimento de cálculo dentário pela incorporação do TPF como cobertura do grânulo da ração, comparada à inclusão deste fosfato no interior da massa da ração. Conclui-se que os fosfatos incorporados na ração seca reduzem o acúmulo de cálculo dentário em cães.
The effect of dry food treated with sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) or sodium hexametaphosphate (HMP), as kibble coated or added into the interior of the kibble on the accumulation of dental calculus in 25 dogs was evaluated. The study used a completely randomized design with five treatments and five repetitions. The experimental treatments were: 1) dry food; 2) dry food coated with TPP; 3) dry food with TPP incorporated into the interior of the kibble; 4) dry food coated with HMP; 5) dry food with HMP incorporated into the interior of the kibble. The animals received the diets for a 90-day experimental period, and then, the teeth were clinically examined for the presence of calculus. The inclusion of HMP in the dry food, as kibble coated or added into the interior of the kibble, and the inclusion of TPP as kibble coated reduced the accumulation of dental calculus compared to the control group without anti-calculus agents. HMP was the most efficient phosphate, reducing the accumulation of dental calculus in 47 percent. The forms of HMP inclusion in the dry food exerted no significant effect upon calculus formation. However, there was a reduction of calculus accumulation when TPF was incorporated as coating of the kibble, compared to the inclusion of this phosphate into the interior of the kibble. It was concluded that phosphates incorporated in the dry food reduce the accumulation of dental calculus in dogs.

La osteomalacia tumoral (OT) u osteomalacia oncogénica es un síndrome paraneoplásico producido por una pérdida renal de fosfato. Es una enfermedad rara, con aproximadamente 130 casos publicados. Recientemente, se han descrito varios factores de origen óseo que participarían en el mantenimiento de la homeostasis del fósforo; en conjunto se los denomina ?fosfatoninas?, y el más conocido es el Factor de Crecimiento Fibroblástico 23 (FGF-23). Ésta es una hormona proteica detectable en el suero de sujetos sanos y ha sido relacionado con la fisiopatología de tres tipos de raquitismo/osteomalacia con hipofosfatemia: dos enfermedades hereditarias (raquitismo u osteomalacia hipofosfatémicos asociado/a al cromosoma X [XLH], y raquitismo u osteomalacia autosómicos dominantes [ADHR]), y la OT. Los tumores asociados a la OT son de origen mesenquimático, de crecimiento lento, complejos y polimórficos. En general estos tumores son benignos, de tamaño pequeño, asintomáticos y de localización incierta; también se ha descrito el cuadro en asociación con neoplasias malignas. El diagnóstico presuntivo requiere la documentación de hipofosfatemia y de una disminución marcada en la reabsorción tubular de fósforo. Deben registrarse los antecedentes familiares, y proceder a estudios de localización del tumor: la TC y la RNM son de poca utilidad, y recientemente se ha visto la sensibilidad de centellogramas con análogos de somatostatina y del PET scan con fluorodesoxiglucosa. El diagnóstico de certeza se obtiene si se logra la reversión de la hipofosfatemia con la extracción del tumor. El tratamiento médico requiere dosis altas de fosfatos y calcitriol por vía oral, no siempre bien tolerados. Se han usado también el octreotide y el calcimimético cinacalcet. El tratamiento curativo es la remoción quirúrgica del tumor causante.

PURPOSE: Colonoscopy plays an essential role in the therapeutic and diagnostic approach in various colonic pathologies, the aim of the present study was to compare three solutions and their efficacy for the bowel preparation in adult patients submitted to elective colonoscopy. METHODS: Sixty patients were randomly divided into three groups of 20 each. Each group was submitted to a bowel preparation with one of the following solutions: 10 percent manitol, sodium picosulphate or sodium phosphate. The parameters evaluated were: taste, tolerance, associated side effects and quality of cleansing. Postural blood pressure and pulse rate as well as serum sodium, potassium, calcium and phosphate were compared. RESULTS: Sodium phosphate and 10 percent manitol solutions provided superior results in terms of colon cleansing compared to sodium picosulphate solution. All serum electrolytes evaluated were significantly altered in the three groups, without important clinical signs. DISCUSSION: High levels of serum phosphate were the most striking alteration in patients prepared with sodium phosphate solution, again with no clinical signs. Variations related to blood pressure and pulse rate suggested contraction of intravascular volume, with no clinical effects. CONCLUSION: Sodium phosphate and 10 percent manitol solutions are equivalent in providing good quality colon cleansing, with no significant side effects that could compromise the procedure.
INTRODUÇÃO: A colonoscopia é exame fundamental na avaliação das doenças do cólon e na abordagem terapêutica de determinado grupo de patologias. O preparo intestinal é obrigatório para a realização das colonoscopias eletivas, e a qualidade encontra-se relacionada ao sucesso do procedimento. Comparou-se três soluções para limpeza anterógrada do cólon em pacientes adultos, submetidos à colonoscopia. METODOS: Sessenta pacientes foram distribuídos em três grupos de vinte. Cada grupo realizou o preparo do cólon com uma das três soluções estudadas: manitol a 10 por cento (MN), picossulfato sódico (PS) e fosfato monobásico e dibásico de sódio (NaP). O sabor, a tolerância, os efeitos colaterais, os custos e a qualidade de limpeza do preparo foram avaliados. Frequência cardíaca e pressão arterial sistêmica foram analisados. Variações dos eletrólitos foram dosados antes e após o preparo. RESULTADOS: Os resultados foram semelhantes em relação aos efeitos colaterais. O sabor da solução de NaP não chegou a comprometer a sua aceitação. DISCUSSÃO: Soluções de NaP e MN proporcionaram resultados superiores tanto em qualidade de limpeza colônica, como em relação aos custos, quando comparadas à solução de PS. CONCLUSÃO: Comparados os três, os eletrólitos avaliados apresentaram diferenças significativas, sendo a hiperfosfatemia dos pacientes com a solução de NaP, a mais importante.

A osteomalacia hipofosfatêmica é uma doença rara caracterizada por hipofosfatemia, níveis elevados de fosfatase alcalina e diminuição da densidade óssea. O tratamento é realizado com suplementação oral com fosfato e vitamina D e, nos casos de osteomalacia oncogênica, com a ressecção do tumor. Relatamos o caso de uma paciente que apresentou quadro de osteomalácia hipofosfatêmica de causa indeterminada. Apesar de extensivamente procurado, nenhum tumor produtor de substância hipofosfatêmica foi localizado. A paciente foi tratada como suplementação de fosfato e vitamina D por longo período, evoluindo com quadro de hiperparatireoidismo terciário. A retirada de três paratireóides não normalizou os níveis de PTH e a paciente recusou-se a continuar a investigação e o tratamento. Após dez anos de tratamento irregular, foi internada por insuficiência respiratória causada por colabamento do arcabouço costal e múltiplas fraturas, evoluindo para o óbito. Os autores discutem a relação entre osteomalácia e hiperparatireoidismo e o curso agressivo da doença.

In this report we describe different forms of clinical presentation of an autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets (ADHR) in 4 members of the same family as well as the treatment used in these patients and their response to it. Patient No 1: a 60 year old female who consulted for bone pain: Bone densitometry showed osteoporosis. Laboratory assays showed hypophosphatemia with low renal phosphate threshold, high total alkaline phosphatase, normal intact PTH and normal serum calcium. With neutral phosphate and calcitriol, the biochemical parameters normalized and bone densitometry improved significantly in less than a year. Patient No 2 her grand daughter consulted at 1 year and 8 months of age for growth retardation (height at percentile 3) and genu varum. Laboratory assays showed low serum phosphate and high total alkaline phosphatase; thickening and irregular epiphyseal borders of the wrists were observed radiologically. She began treatment with calcitriol and phosphorus with normalization of laboratory parameters and increase in growth (height increasing to percentile 50 after 20 months of therapy). Patient No 3: mother of patient No 2, she had no clinical manifestations and normal densitometry but presented low serum phosphate (1.9 mg/dl) that normalized with neutral phosphate therapy. Patient No 4: he was the youngest son of Patient No 1, who had had hypophosphatemic rickets, by age 5; his serum phosphate normalized without treatment At age 29, he presented normal serum phosphate and bone densitometry. Genomic DNA analysis performed in patient No 3, showed missense mutation with substitution of arginine at position 179 for glutamine. The family was catalogued as having autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia.
Describimos distintas formas de presentación clínica de un raquitismo hipofosfatémico autosómicodominante en 4 miembros de una misma familia y su respuesta al tratamiento. Paciente N° 1: de sexofemenino de 60 años que consultó por dolores costales y pélvicos, con osteoporosis densitométrica, hipofosfatemia con bajo umbral renal de fósforo, PTH intacta normal y calcemia normal. Tratada con fósforo neutro y calcitriol logró la normalización bioquímica y una notable mejoría de la densitometría en menos de un año. Paciente N° 2: su nieta, consultó al año y ocho meses de edad por presentar talla en percentil 3 y genu varum. En el laboratorio mostró hipofosfatemia y fosfatasa alcalina total muy elevada y en la Rx de mano, ensanchamiento y deflecamiento epifisario compatible con raquitismo. Tratada con fósforo neutro y calcitriol, normalizó los parámetros bioquímicos y logró un ascenso en el percentil de talla de 3 a 50 a los 20 meses de tratamiento. Paciente N° 3: la madre de la paciente N° 2, quien sin ninguna manifestación clínica y con densitometría ósea normal presentó hipofosfatemia que se normalizócon tratamiento con fosfato neutro. Paciente N° 4: el tío de la paciente N° 2, tuvo raquitismo hipofosfatémico de niño,y luego de los 5 años normalizó el fósforo sin tratamiento. Estudiado a los 29 años presentó fósforo normal y densitometría ósea normal. El análisis del ADN genómico de la paciente N° 3 mostró una mutación con sentido erróneo en el gen del factor de crecimiento fifroblástico 23 (sustitución de arginina por una glutamina en posición 179). Por lo tanto se llegó al diagnóstico de raquitismo/osteomalacia hipofosfatémico autosómico dominante.

According to previous pharmacokinetic studies the biovailability of fluorine (F) from sodium monofluorophosphate (MFP) doubles that of sodium fluoride (NaF). This paper reports a study designed to verify whether the vertebral bone mass increasing effect of NaF (30 mg F/day) was comparable to that of MFP (15 mg F/day), given for 18 months to osteoporotic postmenopausal women. The BMD of lumbar vertebrae of both groups showed significant increases (MFP: 60 + 15 mg/cm2, NaF: and 71 + 12 mg/cm2) over basal levels (P < 0.001). The difference between treatments was not significant (P = 0.532). The serum levels of ionic F (the mitogenic species on osteoblasts) were not related to the above mentioned effects. In NaF-treated patients, the fasting levels of total serum F increased significantly (6.7 + 0.9 muM vs. Basal: 2.0 + 0.8 muM; P < 0.001). This phenomenon was accounted for by ionic fluoride that increased over 20-fold (6.5 + 1.9 muM vs. Basal: 0.3 + 0.04 muM). In MFP-treated patients the fasting serum levels of total (7.0 + 0.7 muM vs. Basal: 2.2 + 0.9 M) and diffusible F (0.5 + 0.02 muM vs. Basal 0.2 + 0.02 muM) increased significantly (P < 0.001). The increase in the non diffussible F fraction is accounted for by proteinboud F, probably by the complexes formed between MFP and alpha2-macroglobulin and C3. Serum diffusible F was formed by two fractions: ionic F and F bound to low molecular weight macromolecule/s (2 200 + 600 Da), in approximately equal amounts. The general information afforded by the present observations support the hypothesis that ionic F is released progressively during the metabolism of MFP bound to alpha2-macroglobulin and C3. These phenomena explain why comparable effects to those obtained with 30 mg F/d of NaF could by obtained with one half the dose of MFP.
