Timing and rate of spheno-occipital synchondrosis closure and its relationship to puberty
OBJECTIVES This study examines the relationship between spheno-occipital synchondrosis (SOS) closure and puberty onset in a modern American population. It also investigates the timing and the rate of SOS closure in males and females. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample includes cross-sectional and longitudinal 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans of 741 individuals (361 males and 380 fe...
متن کاملSpheno-Occipital Synchondrosis Fusion Correlates with Cervical Vertebrae Maturation
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the closure stage of the spheno-occipital synchondrosis and the maturational stage of the cervical vertebrae (CVM) in growing and young adult subjects using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). CBCT images with an extended field of view obtained from 315 participants (148 females and 167 males; mean age 15.6 ±7.3 years; range 6 to...
متن کاملBrief communication: timing of spheno-occipital closure in modern Western Australians.
The spheno-occipital synchondrosis is a craniofacial growth centre between the occipital and sphenoid bones-its ossification persists into adolescence, which for the skeletal biologist, means it has potential application for estimating subadult age. Based on previous research the timing of spheno-occipital fusion is widely variable between and within populations, with reports of complete fusion...
متن کاملExpression of glutathione peroxidase 1 in the spheno-occipital synchondrosis and its role in ROS-induced apoptosis.
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Chondrogenesis is an integral part of endochondral bone formation, by which the midline cranial base is developed. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are required in chondrogenic differentiation and antioxidant enzymes regulate their levels. The aim of this study was to localize the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase 1 (Gpx1) at the spheno-occipital synchondrosis, as well...
متن کاملThe effect of quercetin on expression of SOX9 and subsequent release of type II collagen in spheno-occipital synchondroses of organ-cultured mice.
OBJECTIVE To identify the expressions of SOX9 and type II collagen in spheno-occipital synchondrosis in response to quercetin, using a mouse in vitro model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 50 one-day-old male BALB/c mice were randomly assigned to the control and experimental groups. Each group was subdivided into five different time points, which were 6, 24, 48, 72, and 168 hours, and each s...
