The Sirtuin1 Activator SRT3025 Down-Regulates Sclerostin and Rescues Ovariectomy-Induced Bone Loss and Biomechanical Deterioration in Female Mice. [PDF]

open access: yesEndocrinology, 2014
Abstract Estrogen deficiency leads to rapid bone loss and skeletal fragility. Sclerostin, encoded by the sost gene, and a product of the osteocyte, is a negative regulator of bone formation. Blocking sclerostin increases bone mass and strength in animals and humans.

Biomechanical Mechanism of Distal Stent-Graft-Induced New Entry Deterioration After Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair

Physics of Fluids, 2022
Stent-grafts are bringing new life to aortic dissection patients through thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). However, various postoperative complications are threatening the recovery of patients and even require clinical reintervention. The objective of the present study is to reveal the biomechanical mechanism of distal stent-graft-induced ...

The Effect of Insulin Therapy on Biomechanical Deterioration of Bone in Streptozotocin (STZ)-Induced Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus in Rats

Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, 2012
To investigate the effect of insulin therapy on biomechanical properties of bone in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in rats.A total of 28 male Wistar-Albino rats (12-week-old; 210-300g) were divided into 4 groups (n=7 for each) including control [C; no treatment], sham [Sh; distilled water i.p., for 8 weeks], diabetes [T1DM;

Daily or Monthly Ibandronate Prevents or Restores Deteriorations of Bone Mass, Architecture, Biomechanical Properties and Markers of Bone Turnover in Androgen-Deficient Aged Rats

open access: yesAging Male, 2011
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the bisphosphonate ibandronate (IBN) in a male osteoporosis animal model.Two studies were performed in 9-month-old orchidectomised (ORX) or sham-operated rats. In prevention study, subcutaneous IBN was administered daily (1 μg/kg) or monthly (28 μg/kg every 28 days) starting on day of surgery for ...

Bone Biomechanical Property Deterioration Due to Tobacco Smoke Exposure

Calcified Tissue International, 2005
Tobacco smoking has been implicated in the development of osteoporosis and early onset of menopause in women smokers. We measured various biomechanical properties of femurs and tibiae obtained from smoke-exposed and control mice to determine cigarette smoke influences on bone mass, structure, and strength.

Tendon Mineralization Is Progressive and Associated With Deterioration of Tendon Biomechanical Properties, and Requires BMP-Smad Signaling in the Mouse Achilles Tendon Injury Model [PDF]

open access: yesMatrix Biology, 2016
Ectopic tendon mineralization can develop following tendon rupture or trauma surgery. The pathogenesis of ectopic tendon mineralization and its clinical impact have not been fully elucidated yet. In this study, we utilized a mouse Achilles tendon injury model to determine whether ectopic tendon mineralization alters the biomechanical properties of the ...

Subtle deterioration in shunted childhood hydrocephalus

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1986
✓ Eighteen hydrocephalic children who presented with subtle deterioration when their shunts malfunctioned were studied during shunt revision by means of the pressure-volume index (PVI) technique. Bolus manipulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was used to determine the PVI and the resistance to the absorption of CSF (Ro).
