Metamorphosis of human lumbar vertebrae induced by VEPTR growth modulation and stress shielding
INTRODUCTION Distraction-based spinal growth modulation by growing rods or vertical expandable prosthetic titanium ribs (VEPTRs) is the mainstay of instrumented operative strategies to correct early onset spinal deformities. In order to objectify the benefits, it has become common sense to measure the gain in spine height by assessing T1-S1 distance on anteroposterior (AP) radiographs. However,...
متن کاملEffects of Low-Dose Recombinant Human Growth Hormone on Bone Densities of Radius, Tibia and 4th Lumbar Vertebrae in Rabbits
Objective- To determine the effects of growth hormone (GH) therapy on bone density in controlled conditions in healthy adult rabbits. Design- Experimental in vivo study. Animal- 20 healthy, adult New Zealand White rabbits. Procedures- The rabbits were divided into 2 groups; receiving Human GH (0.006 mg/kg/d) and controls; receiving placebo for 3 months. The density of radius and tibia was m...
متن کاملCongenital lumbar vertebrae agenesis in a lamb
Congenital agenesis of lumbar vertebrae was diagnosed in a day-old female lamb based on radiology and clinical examinations. There was no neurological deficit in hindlimb and forelimb associated with standing disability. Radiography of the abdominal region revealed absence of lumbar vertebrae. Necropsy confirmed clinical and radiographic results. No other anomaly or agenesis was seen macroscopi...
متن کاملSclerotial metamorphosis in filamentous fungi is induced by oxidative stress.
Sclerotium-forming filamentous fungi are of great agricultural and biological interest because they can be viewed as models of simple metamorphosis. They differentiate by asexually producing sclerotia but the processes involved in sclerotial metamorphosis were poorly understood. In 1997, it was shown for the first time that the sclerotial differentiation state in Sclerotium rolfsii concurred wi...
متن کاملCYTOKINE AND GROWTH FACTOR MODULATION OF CELL CYCLE EVENTS IN HUMAN MELANOMA CELL LINES
Cytokines influence cell cycle events, which in some but not all instances can be associated with melanoma progression. Analysis of the G0/G 1 and S phase fractions of the cell cycle was used to assay the proliferative or inhibitory activity of cytokines against ten human melanoma cell lines, including pairs of cell lines derived from primary and metastatic tissue of individual patients. Cy...
