چکیده
Abstract With the global population aging, especially in China, prevention and management of osteoporotic fragility fractures has become increasingly important. Bone mineral density (BMD) is an important index fracture risk, which aroutine measurement inclinical practice thus formed cornerstone monitoring treatment efficacy osteoporosis. In past 30 years, several pharmacologic therapies have been developed to increase BMD reduce fractures, vertebral fractures. However, nonvertebral hip remains challenging as low only one multi-factors for these conditions. Hip mainly result from a fall its incidence higher frigid zone due temperature affecting neuromuscular function high latitude with less sunlight, conditions rendering active vitamin D conversion, apart increased falling. this paper, we focus on two therapeutic strategies targeting both skeletal non-skeletal factors, that is, Tai Chi (TC) exercise improving balance “kidney-tonifying” traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) against muscle atrophy. TC mind-body potential effective safe intervention preventing fall-related elderly. This makes it promising feasible physical activity elderly prevent Several TCM formula popular northeast China within are also introduced. They reportedly maintaining or strength reducing fracture. more rationally designed vigorous basic investigations prospective clinical trials highly desired validate consolidate preliminary observations future.

متن کاملInfantile Mandibular Fracture Treatment with Double-crossed Skeletal and Circummandibular Wires: A Case Report
Abstract The prevalence of mandibular fracture is relatively lower in the pediatric population compared to adults. The treatment of these fractures is more challenging for oral and maxillofacial surgeons due to the concerns regarding mandible growth and the presence of developing tooth buds. According to the literature, conventional methods (e.g., soft diets or closed red...
متن کاملPrevention of Skeletal Muscle Myopathy
Heart failure is a syndrome leading to a skeletal myopathy with muscle atrophy and shift toward fast contracting fibres. It has been shown that the major cause of atrophy is muscle waste due to skeletal muscle myonuclei apoptosis. Apoptosis is triggered by circulating cytokines and their second messengers, in particular sphingolipids. We report here several attempts to block apoptosis. Thalidom...
متن کاملFreeze Fracture of Skeletal Muscle from the Tarantula Spider
The structure of the membranes of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), tubular (T) system, and sarcolemma has been studied by freeze fracture in leg muscles of the Tarantula spider. Two regions of the sarcoplasmic reticulum can be differentiated by the distribution of particles on the fracture faces: a junctional SR, at the dyads, and a longitudinal SR, elsewhere. The dyads are asymmetric junctions, th...
متن کاملPrevention and Treatment of Multiple Osteoporotic Compression Fracture
Korea's demographic profile is undergoing tremendous change as the country rapidly ages at one of the fastest rates in the world. Indeed, the country is expected to become an "aged society" in 2018 when the proportion of elderly is estimated to reach 14.3% of the total population. With the notable increase in the number of elderly individuals, the incidence of osteoporotic fractures will also l...
