We have investigated 13 families, each of which have one member with infantile hypercalcaemia/Williams-Beuren syndrome (IHWBS), for either a germ cell mutation of, or an association with, the calcitonin-CGRP gene. Restriction fragment mapping studies of the calcitonin-CGRP gene using five restriction enzymes (TaqI, Bg/II, PvuII, PstI, and SacI) and region specific probes failed to show any abno...

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The parathormone level after parathyroidectomy in dialysis patients are of interest. Low levels may require cryopreserved tissue implantation; however, the resection is necessary case recurrence. We analyzed post renal hyperparathyroidism. METHODS: Prospective observation postoperative over defined periods a cohort that underwent total and immediate forearm autograft from 200...

Objective: Parathyroid adenomas are the most common cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. Biological studies have shown that parathyroid adenomas are monoclonal proliferations. Up to date, five cell types have been identified in normal parathyroid tissues; chief cells, vacuolated chief cells, dark chief cells, oxyphil cells and transitional oxyphil cells. Most parathyroid adenomas are predomina...

BACKGROUND In this study, we determined the serum levels of IL-17A and IL-10 in context with 1, 2 dihydroxy vitamin D3, parathormone and Ca2+/Pi ions to investigate their pathological or protective roles respectively in bone metabolism. METHODS The bone mineral density (BMD) was determined for 1203 participants using energy X-ray absorptiometry. Subjects with a history of diseases and using b...

Thus far, three methods have been used for the extraction of the parathyroid hormone from bovine parathyroid glands (2-4). The first was that introduced by Collip in 1925 (2) in which hot dilute hydrochloric acid was the extracting agent. Further purification of such acid extracts has proven difficult, but recently the purification of parathyroid polypeptides from such extracts has been reporte...
