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 ...
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) expression in the femoral heads of patients with avascular necrosis
(2013)
Avascular necrosis (AVN) is a disorder of the bone repair process which usually results in femoral head (FH) destruction. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are the key proteins regulating bone remodelling and healing. ...
Smoking affects mRNA expression of bone morphogenetic proteins in human periosteum
(2012)
Periosteum is important for bone homoeostasis through the release of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and their effect on osteoprogenitor cells. Smoking has an adverse effect on fracture healing and bone regeneration. ...

Tumors and tumor-like lesions in or around the median nerve are uncommon causes of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The purpose of the present study is to highlight the diagnostic approach and point out the profile of patients ...
Vascularized Bone Grafting and Distal Radius Osteotomy for Scaphoid Nonunion Advanced Collapse
(2014)
Purpose To determine the outcome of an alternative treatment for wrists with stages I to III scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse using a closing-wedge osteotomy of the distal radius and a vascularized bone graft for scaphoid ...
Surgical treatment of hip fractures: factors influencing mortality
(2013)
Background: Data for osteoporotic hip fractures in Greece is limited and little is known upon the meaning of family support during the postoperative/rehabilitation period. Objective: To identify the factors influencing the ...
RhBMP-7 for the Treatment of nonunion of fractures of long bones
(2015)
We report the outcome of 84 nonunions involving long bones which were treated with rhBMP-7, in 84 patients (60 men: 24 women) with a mean age 46 years (18 to 81) between 2003 and 2011. The patients had undergone a mean of ...
