Response to demineralized bone matrix implantation in foals and adult horses.
1995
Douglas J. | Clarke A.
Equine demineralized bone matrix, particle size 2 to 4 mm, was implanted SC and IM in 4 foals and 4 adult horses. The implants were removed between 5 and 8 weeks after implantation. Bone formation was induced by SC and IM implantations in all animals. The implantation site had a marked effect on the amount of bone that developed, bone being formed earlier and in greater amounts when the matrix was implanted IM. The amount of bone formed increased with increasing time after matrix implantation at both sites. Demineralized bone matrix implantation also led to formation of small amounts of chondroid tissue; this tissue was more common in IM than SC matrix implants, and increased in amount with increasing time after implantation. Formation of this chondroid tissue did not precede the formation of bone, and there was no evidence that implantation of demineralized bone matrix in horses induced endochondral ossification. Age of the host did not appear to affect the response.

1995
Geor, R. | Hope, E. | Lauper, L. | Piela, S. | Klassen, Jon | King, V. | Murphy, M.
The effects of dexamethasone (0.2 mg/kg of body weight; IV, IM, and PO) and methylprednisolone acetate (120 mg, given intra-articularly) on serum osteocalcin and cortisol concentrations were studied in 6 horses. Serum osteocalcin and cortisol concentrations were serially monitored after each treatment. A significant (P < 0.05) decrease in serum osteocalcin and cortisol concentrations was observed from 12 to 24 and 2 to 48 hours, respectively, after IV and IM administrations of dexamethasone. Serum osteocalcin and cortisol concentrations were significantly decreased from 6 to 48 and 3 to 72 hours, respectively, after oral administration. In contrast, a change in serum osteocalcin concentration was not detected after intra-articular administration of methylprednisolone. Oral, IV, or IM treatment with 0.2 mg of dexamethasone/kg caused a decrease in serum osteocalcin concentration in horses.
