In this study, it is proposed that osteoporosis is due to altered signals resulting from either (i) a decrease in the mechanosensitivity of the sensor cells or (ii) an increase in the bone tissue elastic modulus. To test these hypotheses, a mechanobiological......
These results indicate that although weight gain in young anorexics is associated with linear growth, bone mineral density does not increase. Whether this deficit can be corrected subsequently requires longer-term prospective studies. 展开 关键词: Anorexia nervosa Body composition Bone mineral density ...
containing diet for 16 weeks, the results of immunohistochemical (IHC) staining revealed an increase in MMP13 and Col-X expression and a decrease in aggrecan (ACAN) expression in the joint cartilage, and the results of micro-CT showed a decrease in the bone volume fraction of the tibia84. ...
Dental expansion in the MARPE group was associated with a decrease in buccal alveolar bone height and thickness. The anchoring miniscrews of C-expander are placed in the inter-radicular space of the palatal slope, with a potential risk to the adjacent root damages21, 29, 30. This is why ...
The results showed that the subjects have an excellent overall user experience and indicate that the system is comprehensive and easy-to-use. Nevertheless, the percentage of people willing to use it frequently does not correspond to the percentage of the number of people who feel good about the...
Adipose tissue stores energy and nutrients to prevent malnutrition, maintain bone mineral density and prevent osteoporotic fractures in older adults and can also provide a cushion in the event of an impact, preventing fractures in falls [24]. Overweight and obese older adults may have better ...
4c and i). The TM and TMV3-3 groups exhibited a significant decrease in bone volume compared with the C and V3-3 groups and TMV3-3 group was significantly decreased more than TM group (Fig. 4j). This decreased bone volume in the TM and TMV3-3 groups was accompanied by an increase...
Vitamin D deficiency is a candidate risk factor for osteoporosis, characterized by decreased bone mineral density (BMD). We performed this two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the causal effect of vitamin D on BMD. We extracted 143 single-nucleotide polymorphisms from a re...
The MSCs are obtained from the bone marrow of healthy non-HLA matched donors in the GMP-licensed Cell Therapy Facility (Department of Clinical Pharmacy, University Medical Center Utrecht) and cultured and characterized as described previously [22]. To summarize, the bone marrow aspirate is density...
The influences of potential bone-to-implant contact (BIC) area (pBICA), BIC area (BICA), and three dimensional (3D) BIC percentage (3D BIC%; defined as BICA divided by pBICA) in relation to the implant length on initial implant stability were studied. Correlations between these parameters...
