Microcracks: an alternative index for evaluating bone biomechanical quality
To investigate microcracks as a potential index of bone biomechanical quality in rats, 98 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, 10 months old, were used. Eight rats were killed at the beginning of the study, to serve as b...

Determination of age-specific bone mineral density and comparison of diagnosis and prevalence of primary osteoporosis in Chinese women based on both Chinese and World Health Organization criteria
The aim of this study was to determine age-specific bone mineral density (BMD) at various skeletal regions in a native Chinese reference population, and to explore the differences in the diagnosis of primary o...

Application of micro-ct assessment of 3-d bone microstructure in preclinical and clinical studies
As the mechanical competence of trabecular bone is a function of its apparent density and 3-D distribution, assessment of 3-D trabecular structural characteristics may improve our ability to understand the pat...

Establishment of BMD reference curves at different skeletal sites in women, using a Cartesian coordinate numeration system
The BMD reference curve is the reference value used for diagnosing osteoporosis and assessing bone mass changes. Its accuracy would affect the correctness of T -score and Z -score values and thus the reliability ...

Basic fibroblast growth factor improves trabecular bone connectivity and bone strength in the lumbar vertebral body of osteopenic rats
Recently, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has been found to increase trabecular bone mass and connectivity in the proximal tibial metaphyses (PTM) in osteopenic rats. The purpose of this study was to det...

Open AccessPhenotypic characterization of skeletal abnormalities of Osteopotentia mutant mice by micro-CT: a descriptive approach with emphasis on reconstruction techniques
The novel protein osteopotentia (Opt) has recently been described as an essential regulator of postnatal osteoblast maturation and might possibly be responsible for some of the rarer types of osteogenesis impe...

East Asians’ T-scores for the diagnosis of osteoporosis should be calculated using ethnicity- and gender-specific BMD reference ranges: justifications
The 2013 ISCD consensus recommended a Caucasian female reference database for T-score calculation in men, which says “A uniform Caucasian (non-race adjusted) female reference database should be used to calculate ...

Revision of the 1994 World Health Organization T-score definition of osteoporosis for use in older East Asian women and men to reconcile it with their lifetime risk of fragility fracture
The 1994 WHO criterion of a T-score ≤ -2.5 for densitometric osteoporosis was chosen because it results in a prevalence commensurate with the observed lifetime risk of fragility fractures in Caucasian women ag...
