Osteoclast

Micro-fracture consolidation can be treated with bone remodeling, and the adaptation of skeleton is applied to “calcium homeostasis” and to mechanical use. The bone remodeling involves the bone resorption regarding to osteoclasts and bone formation relating to osteoblasts. Regular bone-related diseases including “bone-metastasized cancers”, Paget’s disease, multiple myeloma, and osteoporosis are caused by the disproportion between the resorption and formation processes. The increased deterioration of health and mortality rate results in concerns regarding to knowledge enhancement on bone remodeling process. It is discovered that osteoporosis (mostly detected in postmenopausal) causes extreme bone resorption in contrary to new bone formation.…

Stabilized fractures of the tibia will be performed under anesthesia and the bones will be examined by X-ray and microCT at 14 or 21 days after fracture (n=6 per group) to obtain bone morphometric parameters including total callus volume, callus bone volume, callus mineralized volume fracture, callus mineral density, callus mineral content, and polar moment of inertia, . Histomorphometric analysis will be performed on the decalcified tibias stained with Safranin O/Fast Green for the assessment…

Cudratricusxanthone A (CTXA), one of the xanthone, was isolated from Cudrania tricuspidata Bureau, and its anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, anti-proliferative activites has been studied in vitro; however its effects on osteoclast differentiation have not been demonstrated. In this study, CTXA was found to suppress RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis, actin ring formation, and bone resorption in RAW 264.7 cell lines and mouse bone marrow monocytes (BMMs). CTXA significantly inhibited the…

Osteoclast don’t care that the spongy bone is new; they break it down. As a result, the medullary cavity is formed, it serves as a yellow marrow storage facility. The epiphysis continues to elongate and is composed of hyaline cartilage and its chondroblasts that continue dividing. The bone formation occurs where cartilage is calcified and deteriorates. When a baby is born the diaphysis of most of his or her bones are osteogenic tissue, however, the epiphysis remains as hyaline cartilage. It is…

Osteoporosis Cameron Buss CNA 9/10 April Overview of Osteoporosis The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) defines osteoporosis as a disease in which the density and quality of bone are reduced (iofbonehealth.org). No symptoms can be identified until a fracture happens. As we get older the minerals in our bones become less and less making them weaker and more brittle. When our bones become brittle they do not absorb as much stress and can cause them to break. As we age, our…

performed. The biopsy revealed an increased amount of osteoclasts which are bone cells that no longer secrete extracellular matrix. The six month follow-up there was no sign of returning Gorham’s disease. The second case was reported in 1972 when a 70-year-old woman complained about slow progressing pain in her right hip. Radiology tests showed damage on her right femur. The affected area was taken out and replaced with a prosthetic. Again, over the course of three years there was no sign of…

Bones help animals move, shape and support for an animal’s body. Bones are made up of tissues that continue to grow throughout the animal’s lifetime. But, as an animal gets older the body adds new bone quicker than getting rid of the old. With growth, an animal can run into many issues, one being bone disorders. Bone disorders can affect the growth of a healthy bone, can cause infection, and injure the animal. Bone disorders can be treated with nutritional treatments to help the bone or bones…

Osteoporosis Osteoporosis can be defined as the weakening of bones in the body. This makes the bones so fragile, that something as simple as a cough or a sneeze can cause a fracture to the bone. The fractures occur most in the wrist, spine, or hip. Osteoporosis can disable a person from daily activities that they are used to doing without the troubles of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis can occur in any person, man or woman, of any race. There are no exceptions or exemptions. Osteoporosis has…

Osteogenesis and the stages of bone development The early stages of bone development. Osteogenesis, also known as ossification, is the process in which bone forms. In the early stages, the ‘skeleton’ is made up of loose fibrous connective tissue membranes and hyaline cartilage, and are already in the shape of bones, these are the site where ossification will begin. This provides the foundation for subsequent ossification, starting in the 6th or 7th week of embryonic development. They will…

Michael Orr Professor Shuler Brittle Bone Disease September 22, 2014 Brittle Bone Disease Have you ever experienced an accident that resulted in a broken bone? Maybe you fell roller skating or were in an automobile accident. If you answered yes, then you know how painful it can be. Breaking a bone is not only painful, but can also be troublesome and life changing. Breaking a bone can cause one to have restricted range of motion and movement. Each bone in the skeletal system serves a specific…
