Rat tibia tissue into which calcium ion (Ca2+)-implanted titanium was surgically placed was histologically analyzed to investigate the performance of the Ca(2+)-implanted titanium as a biomaterial. Calcium ions were implanted into only one side of titanium plates at 10(17) ions/cm2 and the Ca(2+)-treated titanium was surgically implanted into rat tibia for 2, 8, and 18 days. Tetracycline and calcein were used as hard-tissue labels. After excision of the tibia, the tissues were fixed, stained, embedded in polymethyl methacrylate, and sliced. The specimens were observed using a fluorescence microscope. A larger amount of new bone was formed on the Ca(2+)-treated side than on the untreated side, even at 2 days after surgery. In addition, part of the bone made contact with the Ca2(+)-treated surface. On the other hand, bone formation on the untreated side was delayed and the bone did not make contact with the surface. Mature bone with bone marrow formed in 8 days. Neither macrophage nor inflammatory cell infiltration was observed. The results indicated that Ca(2+)-implanted titanium is superior to titanium alone for bone conduction.

Objective: Osteoporosis is a systemic disease with high morbidity and significant adverse effects. Increasing evidence supports the close relationship between oxidative stress and osteoporosis, suggesting that treatment with antioxidants may be a viable approach. This study evaluated the antioxidant properties of dichotomitin (DH) and its potential protective effects against osteoporosis.

The study aimed to evaluate the potential protection against fractures of oral Q10 supplementation in the tibias of rats exposed to nicotine. Nicotine is known to negatively impact bone density and increase the risk of fractures, in addition to affecting other systems such as the gastrointestinal system, impairing its absorption capacity, negatively affecting bone health. To investigate this, eighty male rats were divided into four groups (n = 20) receiving either nicotine hemisulfate or saline solution (SS) for 28 days.

Background: The study aimed to explore whether Miya (MY), a kind of Clostridium butyricum, regulated osteoarthritis (OA) progression through adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway.
Methods: The OA rats were orally given MY daily for 4 weeks and were intramuscularly injected with AMPK inhibitor once a week for 4 weeks. Hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the histological morphology of the knee joint.

This study evaluated the cytotoxicity and biocompatibility of a new strontium silicate-based root canal sealer (C-Root SP), in comparison with those of iRoot SP and AH plus. The sealer extract was diluted to the concentrations of 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%. L929 cells were cultured for 24 h, and the absorbance value was determined.

: The beneficial effects of ω-3 fatty acids on the cardiovascular system have been observed in many epidemiological studies; however, their effects on the skeleton and in particular on postmenopausal bone loss appear to vary. The present study's purpose was to investigate the effects of oral fish oil (rich in ω-3 fatty acids) consumption on bone, plasma, and inflammation parameters in the ovariectomized (Ovx) rat model of osteopenia. : Four Groups of ten rats each were separated into Non-Ovx receiving fish oil (2.
