Characteristics of Osteocyte and bone microstructure changes in S teroid-Induced Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: In Novel Exper imental Rabbit Models Open
Background Exploring the pathogenesis of femoral head necrosis and finding effective treatments have always been challenges faced by clinicians, and establishing suitable and reproducible experimental animal models of human disease is a pr…
View article: Effect of porosity and phase composition in 3D printed calcium phosphate scaffolds on bone tissue regeneration in vivo
Effect of porosity and phase composition in 3D printed calcium phosphate scaffolds on bone tissue regeneration in vivo Open
Highly porous calcium phosphate (CaP) scaffolds with multiple phases were fabricated through combination of material extrusion type 3D printing process, salt-leaching, and bone cement chemistry under physiological conditions. Scaffolds wit…
View article: Effects of Abdominal Aortic Calcification and Facet Joint Arthritis On Lumbar Bone Mineral Density Using Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry
Effects of Abdominal Aortic Calcification and Facet Joint Arthritis On Lumbar Bone Mineral Density Using Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry Open
Background Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) may overestimate lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) examined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA); however, the degree of effect of AAC on lumbar BMD has not been quantified. In particula…
View article: Effect of Whitlockite as a new bone substitute for bone formation in spinal fusion and ectopic ossification animal model
Effect of Whitlockite as a new bone substitute for bone formation in spinal fusion and ectopic ossification animal model Open
Background Bone substrates like hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate have been widely used for promoting spinal fusion and reducing the complications caused by autograft. Whitlockite has been reported to promote better bone formation in…
