Increased interleukin-8 (IL-8) expression is related to aseptic loosening of total hip replacement
Aseptic loosening is an increasing problem in total hip replacement (THR). Chronic inflammatory reaction against implant wear particle results in collageno- and osteolysis, leading to loosening of the implant...

Theoretical analysis of contributions of disuse, basic multicellular unit activation threshold, and osteoblastic formation threshold to changes in bone mineral density at menopause
Although bone loss at menopause is known to be associated with disuse and estrogen deficit, their contributions and mechanisms are not completely clear. This article presents a computer simulation aimed at cla...
