Growth and development of fetal trabecular micro-architecture
ثبت نشده
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Very little is known about prenatal growth and development of trabecular micro-architecture [1-4]. Yet the quantity and quality of fetal bone laid down in early life is thought to have a significant impact on adult bone quality and senescent bone disease [5]. Understanding the mechanisms determining fetal bone growth may give insights into those factors determining bone quality in adult life, including the incidence of osteoporotic bone fractures, which blight old age. While the pattern of infant bone development is well described, this study set out to describe the ontogeny of fetal trabecular micro-architecture in the upper and lower limb bones, in the weightless environment of the uterus.

Background and purpose: Osteoporotic fractures are much more common in older post-menopausal women and account for significant morbidity and mortality. Although age is an independent risk factor for fractures, bone micro-architecture is the predictor of subsequent fractures. Adequate calcium and Weight-bearing exercise are known to affect skeletal development, however, the effects of calcium su...
متن کاملIncrease in bone volume fraction precedes architectural adaptation in growing bone.
In mature trabecular bone, both density and trabecular orientation are adapted to external mechanical loads. Few quantitative data are available on the development of architecture and mechanical adaptation in juvenile trabecular bone. We studied the hypothesis that a time lag occurs between the adaptation of trabecular density and the adaptation of trabecular architecture during development. To...

The purpose of the present study was to examine the changes in apparent mechanical properties of trabecular bone in the mandibular condyle during fetal development and to investigate the contributions of altering architecture, and degree and distribution of mineralization to this change. Three-dimensional, high-resolution micro-computed tomography (microCT) reconstructions were utilized to asse...

The goal of this study was to investigate the mutual relationship between architecture and mineralization during early development of the pig mandible. These factors are considered to define the balance between the requirements for bone growth on the one hand and for load bearing on the other. Architecture and mineralization were examined using micro-CT, whereas the mineral composition was asse...
