- Thirty Nobelpharma implants were retrieved from 17 patients despite a remaining clinical stability, after between 1 and 16 years of clinical function. The reasons for implant removal were bone resorption in combination with soft tissue disorders, psychological causes, implant fracture and post mortem cases. When measured at the cortical passage, there was an average of 84.9% direct bone-to-implant contact and 81.8% average surface bone area in individual threads as evaluated in a computerized morphometric system at the light microscopic level.

Thromboprophylaxis in emergency surgery
- 1993

Ingår i: Haemostasis. - 0301-0147. ; 23:Suppl. 1, s. 51-56

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Except for hip fracture surgery, emergency surgery has been only exceptionally studied concerning thromboprophylaxis. There are, however, several reasons to believe the frequency to be fairly high and that the patient group would be in need of prophylaxis. This paper discusses various emergency situations and also gives the design for an ongoing controlled study on the effect of postoperative start of thromboprophylaxis with low molecular weight heparin in emergency abdominal surgery.

Thromboprophylaxis with a low molecular weight heparin (tinzaparin) in emergency abdominal surgery. A double-blind multicenter trial

- In this prospective randomized double-blind study the thromboprophylactic effect of postoperative low molecular weight heparin (tinzaparin) was compared with placebo in 80 patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery. The fibrinogen uptake test was used but because of withdrawal of the labelled fibrinogen from the market the calculated number of patients was not reached. However, this is one of the few studies in emergency abdominal surgery we thought it important to report. The frequency of deep vein thrombosis was reduced with prophylaxis from 22% (95% conf. intervall 11-38%) to 8% (2-21%), a risk reduction of 65%, which is however not significant. Together with data from the few previously published studies it can be concluded that patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery seem to benefit from prophylaxis, which should be instituted either before operation or at latest 24 hours after. The exact prophylactic relation between pre- and post-operative start would, however, require a separate, randomized study.

Evaluation of bone density using cutting resistance measurements and microradiography: an in vitro study in pig ribs.

- A method using cutting resistance measurements during low-speed threading for identification of various bone densities has been evaluated with regard to its precision and potential. Pig ribs were used as test samples. Differing hand pressure, minor deviation (5 degrees) from a vertical tapping direction and individual threading did not reveal any significant differences in cutting resistance values. After implants were inserted into the threaded canals, the total bone as well as trabecular and compact bone areas surrounding the implants were calculated via a computer program and using microradiographs of the bone test samples. The outcome of the cutting resistance measurements was compared with that of the microradiographic technique, and good agreement was observed between the two procedures in the ability to identify bone density. Therefore, cutting resistance measurements may in the future also be used to clinically identify bone qualities in jaws.

Cyclosporin A, but not FK 506, protects mitochondria and neurons against hypoglycemic damage and implicates the mitochondrial permeability transition in cell death
- 1998

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Induction of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) has been implicated in cellular apoptosis and in ischemia-reperfusion injury. During MPT, a channel in the inner mitochondrial membrane, the mitochondrial megachannel, opens and causes isolated mitochondria to swell. MPT and mitochondrial swelling is inhibited by cyclosporin A (CsA), which may also inhibit apoptosis in some cells. Treatment with CsA (50 mg/kg, i.v.) showed a robust reduction of brain damage when administered 30 min before insulin- induced hypoglycemic isoelectricity of 30 min duration. Ultrastructural examination of the dentate gyrus revealed a marked swelling of dendrites and mitochondria during the hypoglycemic insult. In CsA-treated animals, mitochondria resumed a normal and contracted appearance during and after the hypoglycemic insult. Treatment with FK 506 (2 mg/kg, i.v.), a compound with immunosuppressive action similar to that of CsA, was not protective. Studies on the swelling kinetics of isolated mitochondria from the hippocampus showed that CsA, but not FK 506, inhibits calcium ion-induced MPT. We conclude that CsA treatment during hypoglycemic coma inhibits the MPT and reduces damage and that mitochondria and the MPT are likely to be involved in the development of hypoglycemic brain damage in the rat.

Differences in the activation of the mitochondrial permeability transition among brain regions in the rat correlate with selective vulnerability

- Mitochondria from different regions of the brain were prepared, and the activation of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) by calcium was investigated by monitoring the associated mitochondrial swelling. In general, the properties of the MPT in brain mitochondria were found to be qualitatively similar to those observed in liver and heart mitochondria. Thus, swelling was inhibited by adenine nucleotides (AdNs) and low pH (<7.0), whereas thiol reagents and alkalosis facilitated swelling. Cyclosporin A and its nonimmunosuppressive analogue N-methyl-Val-4-cyclosporin A (PKF 220- 384.) both inhibited swelling and prevented the translocation of cyclophilin D from the matrix to the membranes of cortical mitochondria. However, the calcium sensitivity of the MPT differed in mitochondria from three brain regions (hippocampus > cortex > cerebellum) and is correlated with the susceptibility of these regions to ischemic damage. Depleting mitochondria of AdNs by treatment with pyrophosphate ions sensitized the MPT to [Ca2+] and abolished regional differences, implying regional differences in mitochondrial AdN content. This was confirmed by measurements showing significant differences in AdN content among regions (cerebellum > cortex > hippocampus). Our data add to recent evidence that the MPT may be involved in neuronal death.
