Top Companion Anim Med 2023; 52:100757. [PMID: 36592860 DOI: 10.1016/j.tcam.2022.100757] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2022] [Revised: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
FOP is a rare genetic condition, described mainly in man and cats, characterized by progressive, painful debilitation and shortened lifespan. A 10-month-old neutered male Savannah cat was referred for progressive gait abnormalities and multifocal firm masses within the soft-tissues that were unresponsive to previous treatment. Diagnosis of FOP was based on histopathological evaluation of intralesional biopsies, which revealed osteo-cartilaginous metaplasia and fibrocellular proliferation with intralesional chondrogenesis and endochondral ossification. The cat was managed with 5 mg/kg BID enrofloxacin and hydrotherapy for 3 years until acute death. During that three-year period, the cat displayed consistent improvement in endurance, quality of life, and range of motion. Postmortem histopathology further confirmed the diagnosis of FOP via identification of intramuscular and intra-fascial ossification with lymphoplasmacytic infiltration, degeneration, and regeneration of adjacent myocytes. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of long-term enrofloxacin treatment and hydrotherapy for the management of FOP in a cat, leading to improved mobility and survival time, and the first report of FOP in an exotic breed cat.

Abstract
Several aetiological theories have been proposed for the development of osteochondritis dissecans. Cartilage toxicity after fluoroquinolone use has been well documented in vitro. We present a case report of a 10-year-old child who underwent a prolonged 18-month course of ciprofloxacin therapy for chronic urinary tract infections. This patient later developed an osteochondritis dissecans lesion of the medial femoral condyle. We hypothesise that the fluoroquinolone therapy disrupted normal endochondral ossification, resulting in development of osteochondritis dissecans. The aetiology of osteochondritis dissecans is still unclear, and this case describes an association between fluoroquinolone use and osteochondritis dissecans development.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics are associated with a wide spectrum of musculoskeletal complications that involve not only tendon but also cartilage, bone, and muscle. Insights into the pathoetiology of fluoroquinolone toxicity on musculoskeletal tissues have been evolving over recent years. Although the pathoetiology is certainly multifactorial, alterations in cell signaling proteins and direct toxic effects on musculoskeletal tissues have been strongly implicated. Increasing age and concomitant systemic corticosteroid use appear to significantly increase the risk of adverse events. The purpose of this article is to review the musculoskeletal complications associated with use of fluoroquinolone antibiotics by adults; identify risk factors associated with fluoroquinolone toxicity; explore the possible pathoetiology of fluoroquinolone toxicity on tendon, cartilage, bone, and muscle; and offer recommendations regarding evaluation and treatment of fluoroquinolone-associated musculoskeletal complications. In addition, this review will provide recommendations regarding fluoroquinolone use in athletes and return to play after fluoroquinolone exposure.

Abstract
OBJETIVO: Apresentar um estudo experimental sobre o efeito da ciprofloxacina na resistência do calo ósseo de fraturas padronizadas de fêmures de ratos. MÉTODOS: Os ratos foram separados em dois grupos de oito animais: o grupo estudo (cipro) e o grupo controle. Os animais foram submetidos à fixação dos fêmures esquerdos com fio metálico intramedular e à confecção de fraturas padronizadas no mesmo osso. O grupo estudo recebeu ciprofloxacina e o grupo controle soro fisiológico durante seis semanas. Após este período, realizou-se estudo radiográfico controle e ensaio biomecânico de três pontos para obtenção da força de flexão mensurada em Newtons. RESULTADOS: As radiografias e a análise macroscópica demonstraram consolidação óssea em todas as fraturas. Foram comparados os resultados encontrados no estudo biomecânico entre os dois grupos, sendo que o grupo cipro apresentou resistência à força de flexão média 71,11 e o grupo controle, força de flexão média 74,78, não apresentando significância estatística (p = 0,601, test t). CONCLUSÃO: Não houve diferença estatística significante na resistência do calo ósseo de fraturas padronizadas de fêmur de ratos após o uso de ciprofloxacina em relação ao grupo controle.

Abstract
Bone healing is an extremely complex process which depends on the coordinated action of several cell lineages on a cascade of biological events, and has always been a major medical concern. The use of several drugs such as corticosteroids, chemotherapeutic agents, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antibiotics, anticoagulants and drugs which reduce osteoclastic activity have been shown to affect bone healing. This review article presents our current understanding on this topic, focusing on data illustrating the effect of these drugs on fracture healing and bone regeneration.

Abstract
Micromass cultures (MMC) of rat embryonic limb bud (LB) and midbrain (CNS) cells were applied to compare the developmental toxicity of three quinolone antimicrobials: norfloxacin (Nor), enrofloxacin (Enr) and ciprofloxacin (Cip). Cultures were exposed for 5 days to seven concentrations of drugs. Cytotoxicity was assessed by quantifying neutral red uptake; differentiation-by quantifying alcian blue uptake (LB) or by image analysis of Gill's haematoxylin stained foci (CNS). Both, LB and CNS cultures showed dose-dependent reduction in total cell number and differentiation. To distinguish specific effect on differentiation, IC(50) for proliferation (P) and differentiation (D) were calculated and P/D ratios were compared. In LB cultures all three drugs were cytotoxic (P/D ratios were 1). In CNS cultures P/D ratios were 1 (up to 2.7 for Nor, up to 4.4 for Enr and up to 16 for Cip) what can suggest specific action on differentiation. Ciprofloxacin was the most toxic and CNS cells were more sensitive than LB. The ranges of IC(50)-D values (microg/ml) were as follows: Nor (79-14), Enr (127-179), Cip (91-101) in LB cultures; Nor (22-52), Enr (38-91), Cip (3-17) in CNS cultures. With one exception (Cip in CNS culture) all drugs were classified as weak embryotoxic.

Abstract
By using real-time quantitative PCR, the population dynamics and gene transcription of Borrelia burgdorferi were examined in ticks and skin of mice during acquisition of the infection from mice by ticks and during transmission of the infection from ticks to mice. Population dynamics were determined by using a flaB DNA target. A quantitative analysis of flaB, ospA, ospC, dbpA, and arp transcription was also performed. The results revealed that both uninfected larval and nymphal Ixodes scapularis ticks acquired B. burgdorferi as early as 1 day after attachment and that the sizes of spirochete populations within ticks increased during feeding. In addition, all gene targets revealed that there was RNA transcription during feeding. Similar events occurred within infected nymphal ticks feeding on uninfected hosts. Transmission from infected nymphal ticks to mice could be detected within 1 day after attachment. Analysis of skin during the first 3 days after attachment of infected ticks revealed rising numbers of spirochetes but minimal gene transcription. In contrast, the skin of mice with established infections revealed static populations of spirochetes and active but stable transcription of flaB, ospC, dbpA, and arp. There were consistent reductions in the number of spirochetes in the skin at the tick attachment sites compared to the number of spirochetes in the skin at nontick sites, but there were no differences in gene expression between tick and nontick skin sites. Evidence of ospA transcription in skin could be found 1 day after tick attachment but not thereafter.

Abstract
The pathologic mechanisms underlying fluoroquinolone-induced tendinopathy are poorly understood. The observed incidence of tendinitis and tendon rupture in patients treated with ciprofloxacin hydrochloride suggests that the fluoroquinolone antibiotics alter tendon fibroblast metabolism. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of ciprofloxacin on fibroblast metabolism in vitro. Canine Achilles tendon, paratenon, and shoulder capsule specimens were maintained in culture with ciprofloxacin (5, 10, or 50 microg/ml). Fibroblast proliferation, collagen synthesis, proteoglycan synthesis, and matrix-degrading activity were analyzed. Incubation of Achilles tendon, Achilles paratenon, and shoulder capsule fibroblasts with ciprofloxacin resulted in a statistically significant 66% to 68% decrease in cell proliferation compared with control cells at day 3 in culture. Ciprofloxacin caused a statistically significant 36% to 48% decrease in collagen synthesis compared with controls in all fibroblast cultures. Ciprofloxacin caused a statistically significant 14% to 60% decrease in proteoglycan synthesis in all fibroblast cell lines. Compared with unstimulated control fibroblasts, culture media from Achilles tendon, paratenon, and shoulder capsule cells that were exposed to ciprofloxacin demonstrated statistically significant increases in matrix-degrading proteolytic activity after 72 hours in culture. This study demonstrates that ciprofloxacin stimulates matrix-degrading protease activity from fibroblasts and that it exerts an inhibitory effect on fibroblast metabolism. The increase in protease activity and the inhibition of both cell proliferation and the synthesis of matrix ground substance may contribute to the clinically described tendinopathies associated with ciprofloxacin therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluoroquinolones, such as ciprofloxacin, have an adverse effect on growing cartilage and endochondral ossification in children. This study was carried out to determine whether ciprofloxacin also has an adverse effect on the healing of experimental fractures. METHODS Sixty male 300-gram Wistar rats were divided equally into three groups, which received ciprofloxacin, cefazolin, or no treatment for three weeks, beginning seven days after production of a closed, nondisplaced, bilateral femoral fracture. The serum concentrations of the ciprofloxacin and the cefazolin were 2.4 and 146 micrograms per milliliter, respectively. Radiographic, histological, and biomechanical studies were used to evaluate fracture-healing. RESULTS Radiographs revealed significantly more advanced healing of the control fractures compared with the fractures in the ciprofloxacin-treated group (average stage, 2.1 compared with 1.5, p = 0.01). The cefazolin-treated group was not different from the controls with respect to radiographic healing (average stage, 1.8 compared with 2.1, p = 0.18). Torsional strength-testing of fracture callus exposed to ciprofloxacin revealed a 16 percent decrease in strength compared with the controls (284 compared with 338 newton-millimeters, p = 0.04) and a 49 percent decrease in stiffness (twenty compared with thirty-nine newton-millimeters per degree, p = 0.001). The biomechanical strength in the cefazolin-treated group was not different from that of the controls. Fracture calluses in the animals treated with ciprofloxacin showed abnormalities in cartilage morphology and endochondral bone formation and a significant decrease in the number of chondrocytes compared with the controls (0.77 x 10(4) compared with 1.3 x 10(4) cells per square millimeter, p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that experimental fractures exposed to therapeutic concentrations of ciprofloxacin in serum demonstrate diminished healing during the early stages of fracture repair. The administration of ciprofloxacin during early fracture repair may compromise the clinical course of fracture-healing.

Abstract
Although fluoroquinolone antibacterials have a broad therapeutic use, with a relatively low incidence of severe side effects, they have been reported to induce lesions in the cartilage of growing animals by a mechanism that remains unclear. This study was undertaken to determine the potentially deleterious effect of a high dose of pefloxacin (400 mg/kg of body weight) on two main constituents of cartilage in mice, i.e., proteoglycans and collagen. Variations in levels of proteoglycan anabolism measured by in vivo [(35)S]sulfate incorporation into cartilage and oxidative modifications of collagen assessed by detection of carbonyl derivatives were monitored after administration of pefloxacin. Treatment of mice with 1 day of pefloxacin treatment significantly decreased the rate of biosynthesis of proteoglycan for the first 24 h. However, no difference was observed after 48 h. The decrease in proteoglycan synthesis was accompanied by a marked drop in serum sulfate concentration and a concomitant increase in urinary sulfate excretion. The decrease in proteoglycan synthesis, also observed ex vivo, may suggest a direct effect of pefloxacin on this process, rather than it being a consequence of a low concentration of sulfate. On the other hand, treatment with pefloxacin for 10 days induced oxidative damage to collagen. In conclusion, this study demonstrates, for the first time, that pefloxacin administration to mice leads to modifications in the metabolism and integrity of extracellular proteins, such as collagen and proteoglycans, which may account for the side effects observed. These results offer new insights to explain quinolone-induced disorders in growing articular cartilage.

Abstract
Chondrocyte-matrix interaction is mediated by a series of adhesion molecules. Both alpha and beta integrin subunits are involved and govern crucial functions of cell adhesion and signal transduction. These molecules modulate proliferation and differentiation, thus establishing cartilage integrity. We studied the influence of magnesium deficiency and quinolone antibiotics (which form chelate complexes with divalent cations) on chondrocytes in vitro in order to assess the role of Mg2+ ions in integrin function and to establish cellular changes mediated via integrin signal transduction. Mg2(+)-free medium and quinolone supplementation was found to decrease chondrocyte attachment to collagen type II-coated coverslips. Adhesion and growth of chondrocytes were reduced in the respective medium. Organisation of cytoskeletal fibers (vimentin) was changed and formation of stress fibers (f-actin) was disturbed. Additionally, rates of cell proliferation declined. These results indicate that quinolone-magnesium complex formation is important for chondrotoxicity of these substances. Cell-matrix detachment and morphological alterations described in vitro may explain the lesions observed in articular cartilage after quinolone administration in vivo. The attachment assay described could serve as a simple test to establish the susceptibility of chondrocytes of different species to different quinolones in use or new ones to be introduced.

Abstract
Chondrocyte toxicity and necrosis were seen with electron microscopy after incubation of human adult cartilage biopsy specimens in ciprofloxacin or ofloxacin. In vitro exposure of chondrocytes to fluoroquinolones did not affect apoptosis as determined by flow cytometry. While the immediate clinical significance of this finding remains unclear, the possibility of long-term cartilage damage after fluoroquinolone treatment cannot be excluded.
