Plain X-ray of the left femur and hip revealed extensive calcification involving the periarticular soft tissue shadows around the left hip and left upper thigh. The patient received diltiazem 90 mg/day in divided doses and follow-up plain X-ray study after 6 months of treatment revealed ...
A 25-year-old female patient with documented diagnosis of polymyositis developed extensive muscle calcification in the left thigh muscles with overlying skin induration one year after her disease onset, despite well controlled myositis. Plain X-ray of the left femur and hip revealed extensive ...

Furthermore, in vitro studies revealed increased phosphate (Pi)-induced mouse vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) calcification following either testosterone or dihydrotestosterone (DHT) treatment for 9 days. Testosterone and DHT treatment increased tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (Alpl) mRNA ...
The calcification was evaluated by tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) activity, Alizarin Red (AR) staining, and calcium deposition. Results: Brazil nut extract treatment for 14 days in both concentrations was able to reduce calcium deposition when compared to stimulated cells (0.1 μM: ...
摘要: Extensive subcutaneous and muscular calcification developed in a patient having adult-onset dermatopolymyositis (DM-PM) with an 'overlap' connective tissue disease. We wish to emphasize the rarity of calcification in adult onset DM-PM, which is contrary to the generally held impression....
Vascular calcification (VC) is highly correlated with cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality, but anti-VC treatment remains an area to be tackled due to the ill-defined molecular mechanisms. Regardless of the type of VC, it does not depend on a single cell but involves multi-cells/organ...
Calcification occurs in the skin and subcutaneous tissues either as a consequence of the alteration of systemic calcium homeostasis or as a local side effect of inflammation, infection, trauma or neoplastic disease. In its most benign form, calcification is noticed as an incidental finding on histo...
Extracellular pyrophosphate metabolism and calcification in vascular smooth muscle Extracellular inorganic pyrophosphate (ePP(i)) is an important endogenous inhibitor of vascular calcification, but it is not known whether systemic or loca... R Villa-Bellosta,X Wang,JL Millán,... - 《Am J Physiol ...
Calcification is the accumulation of calcium salts in a body tissue. Itnormally occurs in the formation of bone, but calcium can be deposited abnormally in soft tissue, causing it to harden. Calcifications may be classified on whether there is mineral balance or not, and the location of the ...
