概括
尽管过去的努力,但仍然需要对铁酸盐沉积 (CPPD) 进行标准化命名. 重新定义CPPD术语和利用先进的成像将改善研究,患者理解和临床结果.
科学领域:
- 风湿病学和水晶关节病症
- 医疗命名法和沟通
- 在肌肉骨疾病的诊断成像.
背景情况:
- 聚酸沉积 (CPPD) 缺乏标准化的命名法,导致临床实践和研究中的混乱.
- 以前的标准化尝试,如2011年EULAR倡议,并没有完全解决命名不一致和使用模糊的缩写.
- 痛风,高尿血和结晶相关疾病网络 (G-CAN) 正积极致力于重新定义CPPD命名法,以实现更清晰的沟通.
结论:
- 建立CPPD的共同语言对于协调研究工作和改善患者结果至关重要.
- 通过标准化术语和简单的解释来加强沟通,将促进公众对CPPD的认识和理解.
- 将先进成像的见解与清晰的命名系统相结合,将大大有助于CPPD的综合管理.

5.1K
Calmodulin (CaM) is a calcium-binding protein in eukaryotes that controls various calcium-regulated cellular processes. It has four calcium-binding sites that bind calcium to form the calcium-calmodulin ( Ca2+-CaM) complex. GPCR stimulation increases the calcium levels in the cells that bind to CaM and induces a conformational change.
The Ca2+-CaM complex does not have enzymatic activity by itself. Instead, the complex binds downstream target proteins, including membrane proteins or enzymes,...

4.5K
Calcium is not only the most abundant mineral in bone but also the most abundant mineral in the human body. Calcium ions are needed for bone mineralization, tooth health, heart rate regulation and strength of contraction, blood coagulation, the contraction of smooth and skeletal muscle cells, and the regulation of nerve impulse conduction. The average calcium level in the blood is about 10 mg/dL. When the body cannot maintain this level, a person will experience hypo or hypercalcemia.

01:18The Bone Matrix
3.1K
Bone contains a relatively small number of cells entrenched in a matrix of collagen fibers that provide an adherent surface for inorganic salt crystals. Both components of the matrix, organic and inorganic, contribute to the unusual properties of bone. Without collagen, bones would be brittle and shatter easily. Without mineral crystals, bones would flex and provide little support. This can be observed by an experiment: when the minerals of a bone are dissolved by soaking the bone in...
