The optimal microarchitecture of 3D-printed β-TCP bone substitutes for vertical bone augmentation differs from that for osteoconduction

Materials & Design, 2021
Synthetic bone substitutes are used for regeneration of bone defects and for vertical or horizontal bone augmentation. With the development of new manufacturing methodologies such as additive manufacturing, not only can the outer shape of a scaffold (the

Association of serum periostin with bone microarchitecture, muscle mass and function in Chinese postmenopausal women [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology
PurposeHigh serum periostin is linked to an increased risk of osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women. However, the relationships between serum periostin and bone microarchitecture, particularly muscle mass, and muscle function remain unclear ...

Bone Microarchitecture in Obese Postmenopausal Chinese Women: The Chinese Vertebral Osteoporosis Study (ChiVOS)

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
BackgroundObesity is associated with improved bone mass and microarchitecture in Caucasian individuals, but evidence in obese Asian individuals is lacking.ObjectiveTo analyze the areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and bone microarchitecture in normal ...

Local and global microarchitecture is associated with different features of bone biomechanics

Bone Reports, 2020
Purpose: Beside areal bone mineral density (aBMD), evaluation of fragility fracture risk mostly relies on global microarchitecture. However, microarchitecture is not a uniform network.

Contemporary kidney transplantation has a limited impact on bone microarchitecture

Bone Reports, 2022
Bone microarchitecture is an important component of bone quality and disturbances may reduce bone strength and resistance to trauma. Kidney transplant recipients have an excess risk of fractures, and bone loss affecting both trabecular and cortical bone ...

Association between intracortical microarchitecture and the compressive fatigue life of human bone: A pilot study

Bone Reports, 2020
Many mechanical properties of cortical bone are largely governed by the underlying microarchitecture; however, the influence of microarchitecture on the fatigue life of bone is poorly understood.

Characterization of Microarchitectures, Stiffness and Strength of Human Trabecular Bone Using Micro-Computed Tomography (Micro-CT) Scans

BioMed, 2023
The present work presents evaluation and experimental verification of the use of X-ray computed tomographic microscopy (micro-CT) for accurate characterization of geometry, microarchitecture, and stiffness properties of bones.

Bone Volumetric Density, Microarchitecture, and Estimated Bone Strength in Tumor-Induced Rickets/Osteomalacia Versus X-linked Hypophosphatemia in Chinese Adolescents

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Tumor-induced rickets/osteomalacia (TIR/O) severely impairs bone microarchitecture and bone strength. However, no study has described the microarchitectural quality of bone in adolescent patients with TIR/O.

Heterogeneous glycation of cancellous bone and its association with bone quality and fragility. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Non-enzymatic glycation (NEG) and enzymatic biochemical processes create crosslinks that modify the extracellular matrix (ECM) and affect the turnover of bone tissue.

A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial to investigate the effects of nasal calcitonin on bone microarchitecture measured by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computerized tomography in postmenopausal women — Study protocol

Trials, 2008
Background Bone microarchitecture is a significant determinant of bone strength. So far, the assessment of bone microarchitecture has required bone biopsies, limiting its utilization in clinical practice to one single skeletal site.
