Purpose: The aim of this investigation was to study the osteogenesis activation following asymmetric inter-maxillary elastic on the subchondral bone of adult SD rats.
Methods: Twenty SD ten-week old rats were used in this study (eight rats loading 0.39 N elastic force, another eight rats loading 1.18 N elastic force, the other four rats without loading as control group). The extra-joint device was fixed on the right side by surgery. Tetracycline, calcein and xylenol orange were intraperitoneally injected on one day before surgery, one day before device removal and one day before sacrifice. Masson trichrome staining and in vivo fluorescence technique were used to detect the osteogenesis.
Results: The results of bone collagen maturation and velocity of osteogenesis were different from the control group after force loading. Bone collagen showed better maturity in force-loading side and light force induced more active osteogenesis.
Conclusions: The results suggest that even in the adult SD individuals, the subchondral bone still shows remodeling ability to adapt the various mechanical environments. Stress increases the maturity of bone collagen while rotation inhibits maturity. Mechanic force promotes the osteogenesis, especially the light force.

Background: Currently, the pathophysiology of new bone formation in radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) remains unclear. Cellular elements and their secreted bone turnover markers might be one of the underlying mechanisms that drive the new bone formation. Our study aimed to investigate the role of bone turnover markers in r-axSpA patients with fatty lesions.

Perfluorinated compounds (PFAS) are well recognized toxic pollutants for humans, but if their effect is equally harmful for healthy and fragile people is unknown. Addressing this question represents a need for ensuring global health and wellbeing to all individuals in a world facing the progressive increase of aging and aging related diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) exposure on development and skeletal phenotype using the osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) zebrafish model Chihuahua (Chi/+), carrying a dominant glycine substitution in the α1 chain of collagen I and their wild-type (WT) littermates.

Our aim was to determine the effects of P intake on P balance, serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and bone resorption during the final 4 weeks prepartum and the first 8 weeks of lactation. Sixty pregnant multiparous Holstein Friesian dairy cows were assigned to a randomized block design with repeated measurements and dietary treatments arranged according to a 2 × 2 factorial design. The experimental diets contained 3.

Background: Skeletal fluorosis is a chronic metabolic bone disease caused by excessive accumulation of fluoride in the bones. Previous studies have found that when the intake of tea fluoride is similar, the prevalence of skeletal fluorosis varies greatly among different ethnic groups, which may be related to different genetic backgrounds. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) and collagen type 1 α1 (COL1A1) were strongly associated with bone metabolism as well as bone growth and development, but their association with the risk of skeletal fluorosis has not been reported.

Reports of proteins in fossilized bones have been a subject of controversy in the scientific literature because it is assumed that fossilization results in the destruction of all organic components. In this paper, a novel combination of analytical techniques is used to address this question for an exceptionally well-preserved sacrum excavated from the Upper Cretaceous strata of the South Dakota Hell Creek Formation. Cross-polarized light microscopy (XPol) shows birefringence consistent with collagen presence.
