OBJECTIVE To investigate whether the titrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5 (ACP5) gene polymorphisms were associated with the occurrence or curve severity of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). METHODS There were 372 AIS patients from January 2006 to December 2008 and 239 normal controls from

Authors made a comparison between 167 suffers from Scheuermann's disease (SD), 70 adolescence idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and 132 age, sex, height, weight, pubertal developmental stages (Tanner stages) matched controls. The height percentile in 130 cases was also determined. The bone mineral density

Abnormalities of membranous and endochondral ossification in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) remain incompletely understood. To investigate abnormalities in the melatonin signaling pathway and cellular response to melatonin in AIS, a case‑control study of osteogenic and

METHODS Pinealectomy was used to induce scoliosis in Broiler chickens, and a histologic investigation of the pinealectomized chickens was performed. OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence of scoliosis in pinealectomized Broiler chickens and to determine histologic changes in vertebrae in the

UNASSIGNED To analyze the correlation between the polymorphism on interleukin 6 (IL-6) gene promoter region-174 locus and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), including the susceptibility, the bracing effectiveness, and the possible mechanism. UNASSIGNED The 182 AIS patients and 210 healthy

UNASSIGNED Retrospective cohort study. UNASSIGNED To assess bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism ≥27 years after surgery in female patients who underwent spinal fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) during adolescence and to determine their associations with physical

Melatonin deficiency has been postulated as an etiologic factors in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). In previous studies, melatonin was shown to regulate skeletal growth and bone formation in both humans and rats. Although it remains controversial whether there are differences in serum

To clarify the mechanism of osteoporosis in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), we investigated radiological and histological changes in the cervical vertebrae of a chicken thoracic scoliosis model. Forty newly hatched broiler chicks were randomly divided into four equal groups: sham-operated

METHODS Single-center, observational, case-control study. OBJECTIVE Comparison and analysis of the metabolic and coagulative profiles in patients with idiopathic scoliosis, patients with congenital scoliosis, and healthy controls. BACKGROUND Serum melatonin deficiency has been a controversial topic

Generalized low bone mass and osteopenia in both axial and peripheral skeletons have been reported in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). However, the mechanism and causes of bone loss in AIS have not been identified. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between the osteogenic and

Although several theories have been advanced about etiology of idiopathic scoliosis, the pathogenesis still remains unknown. One study detected a decrease in the glycosaminoglycan content of the nucleus pulposus in idiopathic scoliosis, and it was theorized that this represented increased
