The effects of enamel matrix derivative (EMD; Emdogain) on new trabecular bone induction after pure bioinert titanium (Ti) implantation in the rat femur were examined by means of routine light and transmission electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and backscattered electron image analysis. Newly designed mini-Ti implants (3.5 mm in length and 1.6 mm in diameter) were placed in the corticotrabecular area of the femur with either EMD or its carrier, propylene glycol alginate, as control. On post-implantation days 4, 7, 14, and 30, the dissected femur was examined in the transverse direction through Ti implants. In both control and EMD-applied femurs, trabecular bone formation was recognized over the implant surfaces and within medullary cavities even at 4 days post-implantation. These newly formed bone trabeculae around the Ti implants were immunoreactive for bone sialoproteins as a bone matrix marker, and osteoclastic bone resorption became evident in these bone trabeculae after 7 days post-implantation. Although trabecular bone area around the implants was markedly decreased at 30 days post-implantation compared with those at 14 days, the trabecular bone areas in EMD-applied femurs were significantly greater than those in propylene glycol alginate-applied femurs at both 14 and 30 days post-implantation. Our results suggest that EMD is an effective biological matrix for enhancing new trabecular bone induction and resulting attachment of orthopedic prostheses to the recipient bone.

Mandibular trabecular bone pattern before and two years after medical or surgical obesity treatment in young Swedish women.

Objective: To investigate if changes in body mass index (BMI) result in changes of the mandibular trabecular bone structure.
Materials And Methods: Females (18-35 years at baseline, mean BMI 42,3) were followed from before (n = 117) until two years (n = 66) after obesity treatment (medical or surgical). The mandibular bone trabeculation was classified as sparse, dense, or mixed on intraoral radiographs (Lindh's index).
Degeneration of the nucleus pulposus affects the internal volumetric strains and failure location of adjacent human metastatic vertebral bodies.

Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is suspected to affect the distribution of stress and strain near the vertebral endplates and in the underlying bone. This scenario is worsened by the presence of metastatic lesions on the vertebrae (primarily thoracic vertebrae (60-80%)) which increase the risk of fracture. As such, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of IVD degeneration on the internal volumetric strains and failure modes of human metastatic vertebral bodies.

This study aims to provide an initial database to gain more detailed knowledge of the trabecular and cortical bone structure of pelvic and femur bones in cats and smaller dogs. Additionally, the bony microarchitecture between cats and smaller dogs was compared to identify possible differences between those species. These findings could potentially improve the development of non-cemented total hip replacement (THR).

The metastable β-Ti21S alloy exhibits a lower elastic modulus than Ti-6Al-4V ELI while maintaining high mechanical strength and ductility. To address stress shielding, this study explores the integration of lattice structures within prosthetics, which is made possible through additive manufacturing. Continuous adhesion between the implant and bone is essential; therefore, auxetic bow-tie structures with a negative Poisson's ratio are proposed for regions under tensile stress, while Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) structures with a positive Poisson's ratio are recommended for areas under compressive stress.

Purpose: Lipids increase osteoporosis and fracture risk, yet research on Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP), bone mineral density declines (BMD), and trabecular bone score (TBS) is limited. This study examined the relationships between AIP, TBS, and BMD in American adults using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data, including the effect of obesity.
Methods: Based on data from 3,162 Americans, multivariable logistic regression and a generalized additive model (GAM) were used to analyze AIP, BMD, and TBS.
