Is sonic Hedgehog involved in human fracture healing? --a prospective study on local and systemic concentrations of SHH. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
INTRODUCTION: Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) is a new signalling pathway in bone repair. Evidence exist that SHH pathway plays a significant role in vasculogenesis and limb development during embryogenesis.

Intact Glucocorticoid Receptor Dimerization Is Deleterious in Trauma-Induced Impaired Fracture Healing

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Following severe trauma, fracture healing is impaired because of overwhelming systemic and local inflammation. Glucocorticoids (GCs), acting via the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), influence fracture healing by modulating the trauma-induced immune response.

The Role of the Immune Cells in Fracture Healing

open access: yesCurrent Osteoporosis Reports, 2018
Purpose of reviewBone fracture healing is a complex physiological process relying on numerous cell types and signals. Inflammatory factors secreted by immune cells help to control recruitment, proliferation, differentiation, and activation of ...

Muscle atrophy in polytraumatized patients – a longitudinal observational pilot study

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology
In polytraumatized patients, muscle atrophy appears more pronounced than in immobilized healthy study participants. However, rates and trajectories of the acute muscle atrophy and associated parameters have not been reported.

Biomechanical Characteristics of Osteoporotic Fracture Healing in Ovariectomized Rats: A Systematic Review.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Biomechanical tests are widely used in animal studies on osteoporotic fracture healing. However, the biomechanical recovery process is still unknown, leading to difficulty in choosing time points for biomechanical tests and in correctly assessing ...

NPY and CGRP Inhibitor Influence on ERK Pathway and Macrophage Aggregation during Fracture Healing

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2017
Aim: The aims of this study are to investigate the effects of neurotransmitters NPY and CGRP on ERK signaling in fracture healing, and to identify the correlation between macrophage aggregation and fracture healing. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were

Cognitive Resilience in Apolipoprotein ε4 Carrier Women Predicted by Neuron‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The Apolipoprotein (APOE) ε4 allele is the strongest genetic risk factor for late‐onset Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, many ε4 carriers remain cognitively intact into old age. Leveraging plasma neuron‐derived extracellular vesicles (NDEVs), we sought to identify biomarkers of cognitive resilience and their interplay with APOE ...

Longitudinal weight and plantar pressure distribution while standing after tibial or malleolar fractures in patients with or without fracture union

open access: yesScientific Reports
Fracture healing is usually monitored by clinical impressions and radiographs. Objective and easy methods for assessing fracture healing without radiation would be beneficial. The aim of this study was to analyse whether weight and plantar pressure while

New Parameters Based on Ground Reaction Forces for Monitoring Rehabilitation Following Tibial Fractures and Assessment of Heavily Altered Gait

open access: yesSensors
Instrumented insoles have created opportunities for patient monitoring via long-term recordings of ground reaction forces (GRFs). As the GRF curve is altered in patients after lower-extremity fracture, parameters defined on established curve landmarks ...
