Effects of Magnesium on Mechanical Properties of Human Bone
نویسندگان
چکیده
The human bone is multiphase material consisting of collagenous matrix interspread with mineral crystals. Magnesium participates in the normal formation and remodelling of bone. Magnesium deficiency has been associated with a number of clinical disorders including osteoporosis. The present investigation focuses on quantitative estimation of magnesium, an inorganic constituent of bone and determination of mechanical strength associated with magnesium namely tensile, compression, bending, torsion and shear loads. In particular, this investigation shows that bending strength in human bone is highly dependent on magnesium content of the bone. A correlation is developed to establish relationship between mechanical strength and magnesium composition. The study shows that quantity of magnesium present in the bone and ageing process are interdependent and are highly correlated.

متن کاملIn vitro behavior of silk fibroin-coated calcium magnesium silicate scaffolds
Bioceramic scaffolds such as silicate bioceramics have been widely used for bone tissue engineering. However, their high degradation rate, low mechanical strength and surface instability are main challenges compromising their bioactivity and cytocompatibility which further negatively affect the cell growth and attachment. In this study, we have investigated the effects of silk fibroin coating o...
