PURPOSE The aim of present study was to identify characteristic and response of mouse bone marrow (BM) derived low-adherent bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) obtained by quantification of extracellular matrix (ECM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Non-adherent cells acquired by ECM coated dishes were termed low-adherent BMMSCs and these cells were analyzed by in vitro and in vivo methods, inc...

Osteopetrosis, also known as marble bone disease, is a clinically rare genetic disease, which represents a heterogeneous group of rare, inherited bone dysplasias that share the hallmark of abnormally increased bone density caused by osteoclast dysfunction. Hereby, the authors describe a case of osteopetrosis that showed increased diffuse radioactive uptake on whole body bone Tc-methylene diphos...

Objective- To measure statistically bone cortex to diameter  (C/D) ratio in metocarpo/metatarsal and proximal phalanges in camel. This ratio may be used in diagnosing possible metabolic and nutritional diseases in camel. Design- Experimental study. Animals- Twelve camel limbs (6 fore limbs & 6 hind limbs)      Procedures- This study was conducted on dorsopalmar/dorsoplantar radiographs of t...

1 Characteristic 0 We start with a basic question: given a polynomial f ∈ C[z1, · · · , zn] with a singularity at 0, how can we measure the “singularness” of this polynomial in a precise way? In other words: we can look at various singularities and see intuitively that some singularities are worse than others. For instance, it feels like a transverse self-intersection is probably not as bad as ...

Alveolar bone loss is a characteristic of the development periodontitis; its prevention major clinical challenge in treatment periodontal disease. can significantly affect patient's quality life. In addressing chal-lenges recovering alveolar loss, fucoidan has attracted attention as potential material due to numerous biological activities, one which regulate osteogenic cell function so facilita...

Quantitative ultrasound has shown a significant promise in the assessment of bone characteristics recent reports. However, our understanding wave interaction with tissues is still far from complete since propagation ultrasonic waves bones very challenging topic due to their multilayer nature. The aim current study develop theoretical model for guided bone-mimicking plate coupled two soft-tissue...

Background: The sutural bones and fontanelle of the skull display unique morphological characters. Sutural bones are also called supernumerary bones or ossicles or Wormian bones (WB). These are irregular and develop from the independent ossification centers present along the cranial sutures. They appear on periosteal and endosteal surfaces of the skull with variations in size, number, shape, an...

BACKGROUND There is a lack of understanding of the morphological characteristics of the cartilage-bone interface. Materials that are currently being used in tissue engineering do not adequately support the regeneration of bone and cartilage tissues. The present study aimed to explore the morphological characteristics of cartilage-bone transitional structures in the human knee joint and to desig...

This study was aimed to determine chemical and physical characteristics of extracted tilapia fish bone gelatin using acid (HCl) alkaline (NaOH) solutions. The research method used comparative experimental with Paired t-test consisting 2 treatments, namely 4% HCl NaOH 3 replications. Analysis parameters consisted yield, gel strength, viscosity, pH, moisture content, ash. Characteristics solution...

We describe a case of intramuscular vascular malformation with extensive ossification within the posterior compartment muscles of leg which grossly mimicked long bone leading to equinus deformity of foot. Phleboliths and calcifications are characteristic of vascular malformations, while massive ossification is rare. To our knowledge, no extensive ossified vascular malformation within the leg mu...
