osteolysis/プロリン

We examined the osteolytic ability of metastatic cells and the role of tumour matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in bone degradation. The histomorphometry of experimental bone metastases of B16/F1 melanoma cells showed that osteolysis was associated with a 90% decrease in osteoclast number and

Aseptic loosening of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) fixed prosthesis is characterized by formation of a radiolucent fibrous membrane, accumulation of inflammatory cells and osteolysis. Since this membrane is produced by fibroblasts, it is likely that these connective tissue cells play a critical role

Prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors have, in the past, been shown to inhibit osteolysis caused by breast carcinoma tissue in vitro. We therefore assessed the effect of Indomethacin and aspirin on some parameters of calcium metabolism in patients with breast cancer. Neither drug reduced the serum

Methanol extract (MeOH), n-hexane (Hx), chloroform (CHCl3), ethyl acetate (EA), butanol (BuOH) and aqueous (H2O) fractions of Eucommiae Cortex including geniposidic acid (GA), geniposide (GP) and aucubin (AU) were tested for their therapeutic efficacy on osteoporosis. The contents of GA, GP and AU

Bone resorption is a dominant feature of many bone metastases and releases factors from the bone matrix that can promote the expression of the metastatic phenotype in cancer cells. Since proteolytic enzymes, including matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) contribute to bone destruction by metastatic

More efficient therapies that target multiple molecular mechanisms are needed for the treatment of incurable bone metastases. Halofuginone is a plant alkaloid-derivative with antiangiogenic and antiproliferative effects. Here we demonstrate that halofuginone is an effective therapy for the treatment

Lateral meningocele syndrome (LMS, OMIM%130720), also known as Lehman syndrome, is a very rare skeletal disorder with facial anomalies, hypotonia and meningocele-related neurologic dysfunction. The characteristic lateral meningoceles represent the severe end of the dural ectasia spectrum and are
