Bone injury and fracture healing biology.

OBJECTIVE To better comprehend the molecular structure and physiological function of the housefly larval peritrophic matrix (PM), a mass spectrometry approach was used to investigate the PM protein composition. METHODS The PM was dissected from the midgut of the third instar larvae, and protein extracted from the PM was evaluated using SDS-PAGE. A 1D-PAGE lane containing all protein bands was...

Fracture healing: bone healing, fracture management, and current concepts related to the hand.

Bones fracture frequently and often result in significant impairments, functional limitations, and disabilities, especially when the hand is involved. When fractures occur, there is a disruption of the skeletal tissue organization and a loss of mechanical integrity. The goal of fracture healing is to regenerate mineralized tissue in the fracture area and restore mechanical strength to the bone....

Bone-turnover markers in fracture healing.

Biochemical markers of bone-turnover have long been used to complement the radiological assessment of patients with metabolic bone disease. Their implementation in daily clinical practice has been helpful in the understanding of the pathogenesis of osteoporosis, the selection of the optimal dose and the understanding of the progression of the onset and resolution of treatment. Since they are de...
