Lower fibroblast growth factor 23 levels in young adults with crohn disease as a possible secondary compensatory effect on the disturbance of bone and mineral metabolism
(2014)
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) is a bone-derived circulating phosphaturic factor that decreases serum concentration of phosphate and vitamin D, suggested to actively participate in a complex renal-gastrointestinal-skeletal ...
1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D-3 and extracellular inorganic phosphate activate mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway through fibroblast growth factor 23 contributing to hypertrophy and mineralization in osteoarthritic chondrocytes
(2012)
Hypertrophy and impaired mineralization are two processes closely associated with osteoarthritis (OA). 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 (1a,25(OH)(2)D-3) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) are two important factors that are implicated ...
Acute calcific tendinitis of the longus colli muscle: case report and review of the literature
(2013)
Purpose Acute calcific tendinitis of the longus colli muscle (or retropharyngeal tendinitis) is an aseptic inflammatory process characterized by acute posterior neck pain, neck stiffness and dysphagia or odynophagia. ...
The Catabolic Role of Toll-Like Receptor 2 (TLR-2) Mediated by the NF-kappa B Pathway in Septic Arthritis
(2011)
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are involved in mediating cell activation on stimulation with microbial components. Our objective was to investigate the role of 'PLR-2 mediated by the NF-kappa B pathway in septic arthritic ...
Autologous (non-vascularised) fibular grafting with recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-7 for the treatment of femoral head osteonecrosis: Preliminary report
(2014)
This preliminary study evaluates a combination of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-7 and non-vascularised autologous fibular grafting (AFG) for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. BMP-7/AFG combination was ...
The effect of osteoporotic treatment on the functional outcome, re-fracture rate, quality of life and mortality in patients with hip fractures: A prospective functional and clinical outcome study on 520 patients
(2015)
Numerous high quality studies have shown the positive effects of various osteoporotic medical treatment regimens on bone mass and on the reduction of risk for new spinal, hip and non-spinal fractures in osteoporotic patients. ...
An anatomical update on the morphologic variations of S1 and S2
(2010)
Although percutaneous fixation with iliosacral screws has been shown to be a safe and reproducible method for sacroiliac dislocation and sacral fractures, it is a technically demanding technique, and one of its contraindications ...
Fast sequences MR imaging at the investigation of painful skeletal sites in patients with hip osteonecrosis
(2015)
Background: Multiple osteonecrotic foci can be clinically silent when located in metaphyses and becomes painful when it affects juxta-articular areas. The purpose of this study was to assess the value of fast MR imaging ...
Munchausen syndrome: A differential diagnostic trap for hand surgeons
(2010)
A 24-year-old woman was referred with an extremely painful, stiff, swollen, and hypersensitive right upper extremity. She had history of four previous operations on the same extremity. The primary diagnosis was complex ...
