The Formation of Bone in the Skeleton of the Mother during PregnancyAmerican Journal of the Medical Sciences
Distraction osteogenesis is a bone-regenerative process in which an osteotomy is followed by distraction of the surrounding vascularized bone segments, with formation of new bone within the distraction gap. Distraction osteogenesis is efficacious for reconstructing critical sized bony defects in the appendic...
In the skeleton of elderly men, two opposite activities occur: bone loss at the endosteal envelope, which increases bone fragility, and periosteal apposition, which improves bending strength of bone. Both may contribute to serum bone formation markers although they have an opposite effect on bone ...
Quantitative histologic methods have been devised to measure several processes dealing with formation and mineralization of matrix and bone resorption. In vitamin D-deficient rats, the total osteoblastic matrix formation rate was 20% less and the total osteoclastic bone resorption rate was 80% more th...
Histomorphometric studies were conducted in rats to determine whether bone particles would disturb new bone formation on the interface of titanium implants inserted after reaming of the marrow cavity. In eighty 10-week-old female Wistar rats, smooth-surfaced titanium alloy implants were inserted bilate...
Based on our quantum concept for mechanically adaptive bone formation, we hypothesized that a single bout of loading would increase bone formation at the endosteal surface in rat tibiae, with a maximal response 4-8 days after loading and a stimulus-response relationship for load magnitude. Bending...
the bone formation performance of segmental bone defect repaired by autologous transplantation after combination of MSCs and basal hydroxyapatite materials.DESIGN:Open experiment.SETTING:Department of Cells,Third People's Hospital of Wuxi.MATERIALS:The experiment was conducted in the Department of Cells,...
The aim of this paper was to evaluate the repair of onlay autogenous bone grafts covered or not covered by an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) membrane using immunohistochemistry in rats with induced estrogen deficiency. Eighty female rats were randomly divided into two groups: ovariectomized...
Spaceflight-induced vertebral bone loss in ovariectomized rats is associated with increased bone marrow adiposity and no change in bone formation However, in the context of ovarian hormone deficiency, bone formation during spaceflight was insufficient to balance increased resorption, indicating defective coup...
