Bone grafting

Bone Grafting Bone grafting is a surgical procedure to repair defective bones or certain types of broken bones. In this procedure, pieces of bone or a type of man-made (synthetic) bone is used to strengthen a broken bone or to fill in a defect. There are three basic types of bone grafts. Your graft may be from: • Your own bone (autograft). A bone graft is often taken from your hip, rib, or leg. • Donated bone from a tissue bank (allograft). These grafts are taken from healthy donors and frozen for future use. • Man-made bone substitutes. A bone graft supports your bone. It also stimulates healing. New bone may grow from cells in the graft (osteogenesis). Certain proteins within the graft may also convert other cells to bone-forming cells…

Deciduous Tree Grafting Introduction The Apple Tree, or Malus pumila, is a deciduous tree in the rose family that is best known for its pome fruit, the apple. The most widely cultivated tree within the genus Malus, the Apple Tree has been grown for thousands of years in Asia and Europe and was brought to North America by European Colonists in the 17th century. In 1625, the first apple orchard in North America was planted within the Boston area by Reverend William Blaxton. Typically, a…

1ml per sample. The samples were incubated at 4⁰C overnight. The following day, the samples were washed with DPBS at 4⁰C and then washed with 2ml 1 perm buffer twice. Anti-mouse Foxp3- PE Ab was added in a 1:100 dilution for 30 mins at 4⁰C. The samples were washed with perm buffer and resuspend in DPBS for flow cytometry analysis.

Osteitis Fibrosa Cystica is closely interrelated to hyperparathyroidism and therefore, the bone disease’s epidemiology is similar to the latter. As of late, there have been far less reports of OFC than in the 1950s. It is primarily detected in Asian countries. A recent study in India shows that the occurrences of the disease are parallel to the reports of first world countries back when OFC was slowly becoming rare. The disease does not appear in one gender more often than the other, but there…

etiology of the bone defect, whether it’s congenital, iatrogenic, or pathologic such as tumor, trauma, infection, or necrosis, a majority of the time the treatment in adults requires segmental mandibulectomy and reconstruction of the bony defect. (Rana et al., 2011) Although most mandibular defects in adults are treated and repaired by segmental mandibulectomy, that is not always the case in children. In children, due to their…

common bone tumors of the foot and ankle are osseous and cartilaginous lesions, including enchondromas, osteochondromas, and chondromyxoid fibromas [1]. Giant cell tumors (GCT), chondroblastomas, osteoid osteomas, and osteoblastomas also occur. Non-neoplastic conditions include intraosseous lipomas, simple (unicameral) bone cysts, and aneurysmal bone cysts [2]. GCT, also known as osteoclastomas, are fairly common bone tumors, accounting for 5% of all primary bone tumors. They are benign tumors…

Abstract Due to oxytocin’s impact on bone restoration in maternal skeletons, it has been discovered that the same concept is not limited to pregnant women. Research has led scientists to believe that there is a wide range of uses for the oxytocin hormone with their role being heavily relied on by the aid of bone metabolism in osteoporosis. Osteoporosis results in a decrease of bone metabolism from a decrease in bone density and bone mass. Numerous studies have suggested that a link between…

face after their bones wears down. Osteoporosis is when your bones do not have enough calcium and due to that the bones become brittle and weak. Old people and postmenopausal have the higher risk of getting this disease due to their bones getting older and weaker. Younger people wouldn’t have this problem if they ate enough calcium. Bones are an important part of your body because half of your body is bones and muscles. They protect all your organs and necessary parts. Without them, you wouldn’t…

As I have mentioned in my previous posts, I have atrophic scars – some rolling scars on my left cheek and more box scars while on my right, few box scars and more ice pick scars. I guess I’m just lucky to have them all on my face. :/ Three weeks ago, I decided to have Fraxel done. Right after the procedure, I felt that the pits were really raised to the surface but I was not sure as it could be just the effect of having a swollen face. Truly, it was. After the scabs fell off completely (on day…
