Abstract We previously showed that Irisin, a myokine released from skeletal muscle after physical exercise, plays central role in the control of bone mass. Here we report treatment with recombinant Irisin prevented loss hind-limb suspended mice when administered during suspension (preventive protocol) and induced recovery mass were injected due to period 4 weeks (curative protocol). MicroCT analysis femurs r-Irisin preserved both cortical trabecular mineral density, dramatic decrease volume...

The Italian Society for Orthopaedics and Traumatology conceived this guidance—which is primarily addressed to orthopedic surgeons, but should also prove useful other bone specialists general practitioners—in order improve the diagnosis, prevention, treatment of osteoporosis its consequences. Literature reviews by a multidisciplinary team. following topics are covered: role instrumental, metabolic, genetic evaluations in diagnosis osteoporosis; appraisal risk fracture thresholds intervention;...

Abstract Dendritic cells (DCs) are thought to play a key role in driving the immunopathogenic response underlying chronic inflammatory arthritis. In this study, we have examined presence and phenotype of plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) synovial fluids (SF) patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic (PA), osteoarthritis (OA) determined chemotactic properties SF from these toward pDCs. Flow cytometry analysis showed that percentage pDCs, identified as population Lin−CD123++ cells, is 4- 5-fold...

Despite the high level achieved in field of shoulder surgery, a global consensus on rotator cuff tears management is lacking. This work divided into two main sessions: first, we set questions about hot topics involved tears, from etiopathogenesis to surgical treatment. In second, answered these by mentioning Evidence Based Medicine. The aim present provide easily accessible guidelines: they could be considered as recommendations for good clinical practice developed through process systematic...

Introduction: Frailty is a condition characterized by reduced resistance to low-level stress events, resulting from the progressive decline of multiple physiological systems observed with aging. Many factors can contribute pathogenesis frailty, and nutritional status appears play key role. The objective study was investigate relationship between status, evaluated using Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), frailty among older people. Patients methods: An observational carried out at University...

Bone metabolism is affected by mechanical, genetic, and environmental factors plays a major role in osteoporosis. Nevertheless, the influence of pollution on occurrence osteoporosis still unclear controversial. In this context, heavy metals are most important pollutants capable to affect bone mass. The aim study was investigate whether accumulation tissues could be related altered architecture osteoporotic patients. To end, we analyzed 25 head biopsies patients osteoarthritic Moreover...

ABSTRACT Irisin is a myokine produced by skeletal muscle during exercise in both mice and humans. We previously showed that irisin treatment ameliorates immobility-induced osteoporosis muscular atrophy mice.
