Context: Established bone turnover markers do not reflect fracture risk in idiopathic male and premenopausal osteoporosis the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) these patients is currently unclear. miRNAs are a class small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression tissue homeostasis. They considered new endocrine regulators with promising potential as biomarkers. Objective: Evaluation circulating miRNA signatures female subjects postmenopausal osteoporotic low-traumatic fractures. Design,...
The assessment of bone quality and the prediction fracture risk in idiopathic osteoporosis (IOP) are complex prospects as mineral density (BMD) turnover markers (BTM) do not indicate fracture-risk. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) promising new biomarkers for diseases, but current understanding biological information contained variability miRNAs is limited. Here, we investigated association between serum-levels 19 miRNA to microstructure histomorphometry based upon biopsies µCT (9.3 μm) scans from 36...
Liver cirrhosis leads to bone loss. To date, information on quality (three-dimensional microarchitecture) and, thus, strength is scarce. We observed decreased at both assessed sites, independent of disease severity. Therefore, all patients should undergo early-stage screening for osteoporosis. Recent studies found low mineral density in cirrhosis, but data microstructure are This study weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing bones with healthy controls. The primary objective was evaluate...
Background: Bone mineral density at the humeral head is reduced in patients with chronic rotator cuff tears. loss associated repair failure after reconstruction. Bisphosphonates (eg, zoledronic acid) increase bone density. Hypothesis: Zoledronic acid improves of and biomechanical properties enthesis reconstruction tears rats. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: A total 32 male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent unilateral (left) supraspinatus tenotomy delayed transosseous 3 weeks....
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is a treatment modality, originally introduced into the clinic as lithotripsie, which has also been successfully used in last two decades non-invasive of delayed or non-healing fractures. Initially, mechanism action was attributed to microfracture-induced repair, but intensive basic research now shown that generates its effect tissue via mechanotransduction. Numerous signal transduction pathways have already demonstrated, their entirety trigger an endogenous...
MicroRNAs regulate bone homeostasis, and circulating microRNAs have been proposed as novel biomarkers. The effect of anti-osteoporotic treatment on has not described in detail. Therefore, we performed a comprehensive analysis microRNA serum levels ovariectomized (OVX) sham-operated (SHAM) rats over 12 weeks antiresorptive or osteoanabolic treatment. Forty-two Sprague Dawley underwent SHAM surgery (n = 10) ovariectomy 32). After 8 weeks, OVX were randomized to with zoledronate 11),...
Background: Characteristics of chronic rotator cuff tears include continuous loss tendon structure as well elasticity, followed by a high failure rate after surgical reconstruction. Several studies have already shown the beneficial effect extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) on tissue regeneration in pathologies. Hypothesis: ESWT improves biomechanical properties functional shoulder outcomes reconstruction rodents. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: After detachment and 3...
Summary Background Patients with hepatic cirrhosis are at increased risk of bone loss. Recent work on areal mineral density has reported contradictory findings. As the assessment microarchitecture is complex, a search was made for correlations new serum markers turnover. Current data sclerostin levels in patients fracture divergent and to date only one study examined cirrhosis. Therefore, aim this evaluate test microarchitecture. Methods This performed 32 recently diagnosed controls. The...
Bone stress injuries are commonly due to repetitive loading, as often described in competitive athletes or military recruits. The underlying pathophysiology of bone is multifactorial. present cross-sectional study investigated (i) cortical and trabecular microstructure well volumetric mineral density subjects with at the tibial diaphysis, measured distal tibia radius by means high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (CT), (ii) areal using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry...
Zoledronic acid improves bone microarchitecture and biomechanical properties after chronic rotator cuff repair (RCR) in rats. Besides the positive effects of zoledronic on mineral density microarchitecture, bisphosphonates have skeletal muscle function.
Abstract The primary objective was to compare the intraoperative data assessed by OrthoPilot (Aesculap AG, Tuttlingen, Germany) with postoperative coronal and sagittal long-leg standing radiographs. secondary evaluate influence of sex body mass index (BMI) on accuracy effectiveness implantation knee prosthesis OrthoPilot. We included 75 patients in our investigation. Participants received an e.motion AG) using navigation system. Postoperative anteroposterior lateral radiographs were...
To date there are few studies that have investigated bone mineral density (BMD) and markers of metabolism in patients with thalassemia minor form. None the previous trials presented structure analysis patient populations. We present case a 24-year-old Turkish woman heterozygous beta alpha who sustained low-trauma fracture inferior pubic ramus. Despite normal metabolism, dual X‑ray absorptiometry (DXA) showed decreased areal density. Furthermore, severely reduced parameters volumetric was...
