Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRelationship of Body Composition Parameters with Hip and Fore Arm Bone Mineral Density: An Indian PerspectiveK.B. Kishore Mohan, V. Sapthagirivasan, M. AnburajanProblem statement: The relationship between obesity and osteoporosis has been widely studied and epidemiological evidence shows that obesity is correlated with increased bone mass. Anthropometric factors such as body height and body weight which are related to body mass index should be considered. Approach: We measured whole body fat mass, fat free mass, muscle mass, Body water, percentage fat mass … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 5 Oct 2011 · 7,912 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOsteoporosis Induction in Animal ModelKamran Kaveh, Rashid Ibrahim, Mohd Zuki AbuBakar, Tengku Azmi IbrahimProblem statement: Osteoporosis; the major health problem is an imperative disease requires a significant attention to discover different aspects of this threatening abnormality. There are some problems in osteoporotic human population to conduct researches such as lack of a homogenous sample size or ethical problems.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiomimetic Finite Element Analysis Bone Modeling for Customized Hybrid Biological Prostheses DevelopmentAversa Raffaella, Florian Ion T. Petrescu, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Apicella AntonioThe human femur shows a high capacity to withstand external stresses and it is due to the mass distribution, morphology, and orthotropic behaviors of trabecular and cortical bone. Faithful modeling of the femur accounting for bone distribution and material orthotropic behavior is presented. The use of biofidel model is aimed to develop an "in silico" tool that could enable the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2016 · 8,980 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Cytokines and Transcription Factors in Periodontitis: A Review of Cellular and Molecular MechanismsAnne Carolina Eleutério Leite, Valéria Martins de Araújo Carneiro, Júlia Faria Nunes et al.Periodontal Diseases (PD) are characterized by pathological manifestation of host immune response to bacterial infection at the tooth/gingival interface. Evidences points periodontitis as a risk factor for pathological systemic conditions, such as, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The identification of host factors that determine their susceptibility to immune subversion can provide useful information in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Protective acute inflammatory … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2015 · 7,807 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of a Combination of Autogenous Fresh Bone Marrow and Omental Free Graft in the Cervical Esophageal Wound Healing in DogsOmid Azari, Mohammad Mahdi Molaei, Reza Kheirandish, Sara Hamzeh AliabadProblem statement: Esophageal surgery is associated with greater wound healing problems than surgery on other portion of the alimentary tract. Omentum and fresh bone marrow are rich source of angiogenic factors that promote the growth of blood vessels into wound tissue. The aim of this study was evaluation of the effects of a combination of autogenous fresh bone marrow and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,770 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunodeficiency Provides Partial Protection from Bone Loss Induced by Castration and OvariectomyCedo M. Bagi, Edwin Berryman, Nels Hanson et al.Problem Statement: The interaction of osteoblasts and osteoclasts with cells of the immune system has been suggested as a contributing factor in the development of osteoporoses. Evidence from studies in rodents suggests that T cells play a significant role in bone loss following estrogen deficiency. The goal of this study was to investigate whether the lack of functional T cells … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,074 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffects of Unilateral Cervical Vagotomy on Murine Dendritic CellsDaniel Sanzio Gimenes da Cruz, Ana Paula Nascimento de Lima, Patrícia Benites Gonçalves da Silva et al.The cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway has been demonstrated to be an important mechanism that modulates several inflammatory diseases. This modulation occurs upon activation of the vagus nerve, which modulates splenic macrophages and lymphocytes through the predominant neurotransmitter, Acetylcholine (ACh). We hypothesized that this modulation could also take place in dendritic cells, as these cells represent a link between the innate and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 12 Jul 2015 · 6,948 accessesView PDF Cite
