BACKGROUND Joint immobilisation improves the therapeutic effect of intra-articular glucocorticoid injection for knee synovitis. This may be due to retarded steroid resorption by immobilisation, a procedure that also could influence cartilage and bone metabolism. OBJECTIVE To evaluate changes in cartilage and bone turnover after intra-articular glucocorticoid treatment for knee synovitis with ...

This paper demonstrates an optical segment tracking (OST) approach for assessing the in vivo bone loading regimes in humans. The relative movement between retro-reflective marker clusters affixed to the tibia cortex by bone screws was tracked and expressed as tibia loading regimes in terms of segment deformation. Stable in vivo fixation of bone screws was tested by assessing the resonance frequ...

Objective: This study clarified bone turnover at different training intensities based on the annual schedule of a male college artistic gymnastics club. Methods: For 21 male college artistic gymnasts, bone metabolism markers (bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), intact procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), bone-specific tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP-5b), type I collagen c...

Abstract Although multiple studies have investigated the mesenchymal stem and progenitor cells (MSCs) that give rise to mature bone marrow, high heterogeneity in their morphologies properties causes difficulties molecular separation of distinct populations. In this study, by taking advantage resolution single cell transcriptome, we analyzed Sca-1 PDGFR-? fraction mouse marrow tissue. The transc...

The article outlines results of weapon complex analysis the PyanyBor culture population from Novo-Sasykul burial ground, dated back to 1st – 2nd cc. BC. main this was ranged e.g. bone and iron arrowheads. Features archer’s burials are compared with all funeral complexes culture. As a result, some patterns finding arrowheads its certain types were revealed. Bony sleeve common during at whole cul...

OBJECTIVE This study assessed the osteogenic effect (T-Score) and changes in bone markers in healthy subjects by 12-weeks of aerobic training. METHODS Total 65 healthy subjects (36 males, 29 females), their age ranged between 30 and 60 years with normal body mass index, were recruited to participate in this study and they were selected among healthy subjects who do not have any metabolic diso...

Patients with poorly controlled noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) are shown to have higher bone mass. However, the influence of changes in glycemic control on bone turnover is not known. To clarify whether metabolic improvement of poorly controlled NIDDM affects bone turnover, markers for glucose, mineral, and bone metabolism were assessed before and after glycemic control for 3 we...
