[Long-term therapy with calcitonin in Paget's diseases (author's transl)]. 1978

U J Schmidt, and K Trzenschik, and K Abendroth, and H Graner, and A Ansorg

16 patients with a Paget's disease at the age of 51--80 years were treated by synthetic salmon calcitonine in a dosis of 20 mcg (80 MRCU/die). 14 patients could be observed for a longer time. In all cases there was a statically significant decrease of the increased alkaline serum phosphatase. The excretion of hydroxyproline in the collected urine had a decreasing tendency. Other laboratory parameters as calcium, phosphatase and acid phosphatase in the serum and the excretion of calcium and phosphate in the urine were not significant influenced by therapy. The patients felt subjective a clear improvement of the bone pains. After a six month-treatment the dosis was reduced (each 2--7 days 20 mcg salmon calcitonin sc). There was observed a rebehaviour of the subjective symptoms and an increase of the alkaline serum phosphatase, which did not reach the unitial values before the beginning of treatment. Calcitonine is an effective substance for the treatment of an active Paget's disease.

D010001 Osteitis Deformans A disease marked by repeated episodes of increased bone resorption followed by excessive attempts at repair, resulting in weakened, deformed bones of increased mass. The resultant architecture of the bone assumes a mosaic pattern in which the fibers take on a haphazard pattern instead of the normal parallel symmetry.

D011392 Proline A non-essential amino acid that is synthesized from GLUTAMIC ACID. It is an essential component of COLLAGEN and is important for proper functioning of joints and tendons. L-Proline,L Proline
D002116 Calcitonin A peptide hormone that lowers calcium concentration in the blood. In humans, it is released by thyroid cells and acts to decrease the formation and absorptive activity of osteoclasts. Its role in regulating plasma calcium is much greater in children and in certain diseases than in normal adults.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
