Abstract

We investigated ectopic cartilage and bone formation induced by transplantation of cells which were transfected with Sonic hedgehog (Shh) cDNA encoding amino-terminal peptide for gene therapy in bone regeneration. These results indicated Shh regulated early chondrogenesis and stimulation of prechondrocytes, and consequently the synergistic effects of Shh and BMP induced bone formation in vivo. In the future, further study of transfection of Shh combined with other gene groups regulating bone formation, or other bone-stimulating factors, or using new type of scaffold will be needed to confirm clinical application.

[Patient injuries in response to anaesthetic procedures: cases evaluated by the Danish Patient Insurance Association--secondary publication].

We investigated the Danish Patient Insurance Association files of patients, who were given financial compensation, because of an injury caused by an anaesthetic procedure. In the six-year-period 1996-2002, 374 patients were compensated in total 8.0 million euros for an injury caused by an anaesthetic procedure. Some anaesthetic complications may result in severe disability, whereby the financial compensation to the suffering patients is high. We estimate that approximately 0.2 per 1,000 of all patients receiving anaesthesia may develop complications that entitle them to financial compensation.

[Noninferiority and equivalence randomized trials: lessons and reservations--secondary publication].

A noninferiority trial seeks to determine, whether a new intervention is not inferior to a reference intervention within a prespecified noninferiority interval (-Delta to 0) for the primary outcome. An equivalence trial aims to determine whether two interventions have a similar effect within a prespecified interval (-Delta to +Delta). These trials are controversial and difficult to grasp and very often poorly reported and conducted. Any claims regarding efficacy of new treatments, based on these trials, should be interpreted with caution, and it should be noted that Delta is often far too large to be clinically meaningful.
