    Notes: Abstract Objective: To determine whether the therapeutic intervention scoring system (TISS) reliably reflects the cost of the overall intensive care unit (ICU) population, subgroups of that population and individual ICU patients. Design: Prospective analysis of individual patient costs and comparison with TISS. Setting: Adult, 12 bedded general medical and surgical ICU in a university teaching hospital. Subjects: Two hundred fifty-seven consecutive patients including 52 coronary care (CCU), 99 cardiac surgery (CS) and 106 general ICU (GIC) cases admitted to the ICU during a 12-week period in 1994. A total of 916 TISS-scored patient days were analysed Main outcome measures: A variable cost (VC) that included consumables and service usage (nursing, physiotherapy, radiology and pathology staff costs) for individual patients was measured daily. Nursing costs were calculated in proportion to a daily nursing dependency score. A fixed cost (FC) was calculated for each patient to include medical, technical and clerical salary costs, capital equipment depreciation, equipment and central hospital costs. The correlation between cost and TISS was analysed using regression analysis. Results: For the whole group (n = 257) the average daily FC was £ 255 and daily VC was £ 541 (SEM 10); range £ 23–£ 2,806. In the patient subgroups average daily cost (FC + VC) for CCU was £ 476 (SEM 17.5), for CS £ 766 (SEM 13.8) and for GIC £ 873 (SEM 13.6). In the group as a whole, a strong correlation was demonstrated between VC and the TISS for each patient day (r = 0.87, p 〈 0.001) and this improved further when the total TISS score was compared with the total VC of the entire patient episode (r = 0.93, p 〈 0.001). This correlation was maintained in CCU, CS and GIC patient cohorts with only a small median difference between actual and predicted cost (2.2 % for GIC patients). However, in the individual patient, the range of error was up to ± 65 % of the true variable cost. For the whole group the variable cost per TISS point was £ 25. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that TISS reliably measures overall ICU population costs as well as those of the subgroups CCU, CS and GIC. However, the relationship between TISS and cost is less reliable for the individual patient.

    Notes: Three different types of mechanically deboned poultry meat (MDPM) were obtained from a Pennsylvania poultry processing plant and studied for nutrient composition. Samples of MDPM included material from broiler skinless necks (protein 15.3%, fat 7.9%, moisture 76.7%), broiler backs (protein 11.9%, fat 24%, moisture 63.1%), and a combination of skinless necks and backs (protein 13.7%, fat 17.0%, moisture 69.0%). Protein efficiency ratios (PER) were determined for each type using casein as the standard diet. MDPM from skinless necks had an adjusted PER value of 2.65 which was comparable to the standard casein diet. The combination of necks and backs MDPM also resulted in a PER value that was comparable to the standard casein diet. PER values for MDPM from backs were significantly lower possibly due to protein alternation as a result of rancidity. Amino acids, fatty acids, caloric content and selected trace minerals were measured also.

    Notes: Three types of mechanically deboned turkey meat (MDTM) were obtained from a Pennsylvania poultry processing plant and studied for nutrient composition. Samples of MDTM included meat from turkey breast cages (protein 15.4%, fat 10.2%, moisture 71.3%), turkey racks (protein 13.4%, fat 17.0%, moisture 67.9%), and turkey backs (protein 13.0%, fat 21.7%, moisture 65.9%). Protein efficiency ratios (PER) were determined on each type, and with and without an antioxidant. Material without an antioxidant resulted in gross errors. Adjusted PER values of MDTM treated with an antioxidant were significantly higher than the 2.50 value for the standard casein diet. Amino acids, fatty acids, caloric content and selected minerals were also measured.

    Notes: Three types of mechanically deboned spent layer meat (MDSL) were found to have adjusted protein efficiency ratios (PER) equivalent or superior to a standard (casein) diet. These same materials proved to be good sources of calcium, iron and zinc. Percentage protein ranged from 15.39 for MDSL from whole spent layers to 16.55 for MDSL from spent layer frames with wings. Fat levels were highest for whole birds (20.41%) and lowest for frames without skin (16.84%). High levels of unsaturated fatty acids were found to be associated with these products.

    Notes: Abstract. Age-dependent gene expression and protein synthesis associated with chondrocyte differentiation were evaluated in the epiphyseal growth plates of normal and tibial dyschondroplasia (TD)-afflicted chickens. In the normal growth plate, collagen type II gene is expressed mainly by chondrocytes at the upper zone of the growth plate and by the chondrocytes in the articular cartilage. Collagen type X and osteopontin (OPN) genes are expressed in the lower zone of the growth plate and in the zone of cartilage-to-bone transition. No age-dependent changes in the pattern of OPN and collagen type II or X gene expression were observed up to 20 days of age. In the TD-afflicted growth plates, the lesion is enlarged with age, and chondrocytes expressing the collagen type II gene were observed in the hypertrophic zone as early as 8 days posthatching. Abnormal expression of OPN and collagen type X genes was also observed starting at 13 days of age. At day 20, the entire TD lesion—which was significantly enlarged—was surrounded by collagen type II, collagen type X, and OPN expressing cells. The level of OPN in TD was reduced with increasing age, and at 20 days almost no OPN could be detected in either the upper or the lower hypertrophic zones. The level of bone sialoprotein (BSP) also diminished with increasing age in the TD growth plates. In contrast to OPN, the age-dependent reduction in BSP levels was mainly in the lower hypertrophic zone (LHZ), and at 20 days of age, BSP was barely detected in the LHZ, whereas in the upper hypertrophic zone, the levels of BSP were similar to those in normal growth plate. In summary, our results suggest that the primary event of the TD lesion occurs in cells of proliferative phenotype within the hypertrophic zone. These cells divide and form the TD lesion, which consists of cells that do not express the genes associated with hypertrophy.
