The relation between leptin and osteocalcin and various anthropometric measures in preterm and full-term babies
Leptin plays a role in foetal growth. Osteocalcin, a bone specific protein, reflects bone formation rate. This study aims to investigate the effect of leptin and osteocalcin on physical growth of newborns. About 40 full-term and 41 preterm healthy babies were included. Umbilical cord samples were analysed for leptin and osteocalcin. Anthropometric measurements were taken on newborns. Leptin was ...

Synthesis of biphasic calcium phosphate powders by a simple hydrolysis process
An ideal bone grafting material should be compatible with physiological environment, provoke osseous tissue formation and adapt degradation behaviour to new bone tissue growth. Calcium phosphates, a main inorganic constituent of the human hard tissue, are by far the best substitute materials for bone reconstruction because of their excellent bioactivity, biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. In ...

What Are the Health Benefits of Probiotics?
Probiotics are a type of beneficial bacteria that exist in the human gut itself. There are more than 100 trillion bacteria in the human gut, which are roughly divided into beneficial bacteria, intermediate bacteria and harmful bacteria. When the human body is healthy, the intestinal flora is in a balanced state, but when you have symptoms of constipation and diarrhea, it means that the number of ...

Titanium but not just titanium
Titanium and its alloys have many advantages as surgical implant materials, such as low density, high strength, good toughness, good biocompatibility, non-toxicity, low elastic modulus, good corrosion resistance, and low X-ray absorption rate Etc., thus occupying an increasingly important position in medical metal materials. Titanium and its alloys can be used for the repair and replacement of ...

Effects of intermittent overloads on fatigue of PMMA bone cement
PMMA bone cements are widely used in orthopaedics, but questions remain as to their long term durability. Although fatigue of bone cements has been widely studied, the effects of variable amplitude loading are not fully understood. This paper presents a novel method using a crossover experimental design, in which a crack is propagated under ΔK control and a series of different overload patterns ...
