One year's study of growth and total hydroxyproline excretion in scoliotic children.

چکیده
21 children with scoliosis were studied for a year during which time 24-hour urinary total hydroxyproline levels are estimated and anthropometric measurements were made on 4 occasions. The total hydroxyproline levels (using hydroxyproline centiles) and the uncorrected heights of the children were all normal. The sitting heights of the children were below average, but, although the sample was small, the findings indicate that the children's 'uncoiled' height would be greater than average.

Sir, We are glad that Dr. P. F. Benson wrote to you (Archives, 1972, 47, 476) drawing attention to the work on this subject which he published in 1965 (Benson, 1965). Had he been less modest, he might have added that it was the exciting discovery which he made-that urinary hydroxyproline excretion is increased in scoliotic children-which led to the much larger study, subsequently made here by u...

The height velocity of 122 boys of 11 to 17 years is compared with their urinary total hydroxyproline excretion and a close relation is shown. The importance of this is discussed in relation to undersized children and to those...

Allison, Walker, and Smith (1966) showed that the ratio of total hydroxyproline to creatinine in a 24-hour collection of urine gives more consistent results than measurement of hydroxyproline alone, an observation which has been extended to random samples of urine collected during waking hours (Howells, Wharton, and McCance, 1967; Younoszai et al., 1969).

متن کاملRelationship between urinary hydroxyproline and growth.
Beginning with the report of Ziff, Kibrick, Dresner, and Gribetz (2), evidence accumulated in recent years has indicated that urinary hydroxyproline excretion reflects collagen metabolism, since collagen is the only protein in the body that contains hydroxyproline in significant amounts (3). Ziff and co-workers, observing that the excretion of this amino acid in peptide form was greater in chil...
