Abstract
Proteins C and S are vitamin K-dependent anticoagulative factors that also exert a significant influence on bone quality. Clinical studies have linked the deficiency of proteins C and S to lower bone mineral density and the onset of femoral head osteonecrosis in children. Rare foundational studies analyzing this topic have demonstrated that activated protein C, upon binding to the endothelial protein C receptor expressed on the surface of osteoblasts, promotes osteoblast proliferation. It is also established that proteins C and S play crucial roles in proper collagen synthesis and in maintaining the number of osteoclasts and blood vessels. However, the association between protein C and/or S deficiency and the gradual onset of osteoporosis remains largely uninvestigated. Calculations based on data from peer-reviewed journals suggest that approximately one in every 10 individuals may develop osteoporosis due to congenital protein C or S deficiency. Moreover, when secondary causes of protein C and S deficiency are also considered, the proportion likely further increases. In this paper, we discuss the pathophysiological background of the potential relationship between protein C and S deficiency and the genesis of osteoporosis.

Secondary osteoporosis prevention: three-year outcomes from a Fracture Liaison Service in elderly hip fracture patients. Aging Clin Exp Res 2024; 36:103. [PMID: 38704788 PMCID: PMC11070393 DOI: 10.1007/s40520-024-02761-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip fractures are the most serious fragility fractures due to their associated disability, higher hospitalization costs and high mortality rates. Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) programs have enhanced the management of osteoporosis-related fractures and have shown their clinical effectiveness. AIMS To analyze the effect of the implementation of a FLS model of care over the survival and mortality rates following a hip fracture. METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study on patients over 60 years of age who suffered a hip fracture before and after the implementation of the FLS in our center (between January 2016 and December 2019). Patients were followed for three years after the index date. Mortality, complications and refracture rates were compared between the two groups using a Multivariate Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS A total of 1366 patients were included in this study (353 before FLS implementation and 1013 after FLS implementation). Anti-osteoporotic drugs were more frequently prescribed after FLS implementation (79.3% vs 12.5%; p < 0.01) and there was an increase in adherence to treatment (51.7% vs 30.2%; p < 0.01). A total of 413 (40.8%) patients after FLS implementation and 141 (39.9%) individuals before (p = 0.47) died during the three-years follow-up period. A second fracture occurred in 101 (10.0%) patients after FLS implementation and 37 (10.5%) individuals before (p = 0.78). Patients after the implementation of the FLS protocol had a lower all cause one-year mortality [adjusted Hazard Ratio (HR) 0.74 (0.57-0.94)] and a decreased risk of suffering a second osteoporotic fracture [adjusted HR 0.54 (0.39-0.75) in males and adjusted HR 0.46 (0.30-0.71) in females]. CONCLUSIONS The implementation of a FLS protocol was associated with a lower all-cause one-year mortality rate and a higher survivorship in elderly hip fracture patients. However, no three-year mortality rate differences were observed between the two groups. We also found a reduction in the complication and second-fracture rates.

The sacroiliac joint: An original and highly sensitive tool to highlight altered bone phenotype in murine models of skeletal disorders. Bone 2024; 178:116931. [PMID: 37839664 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2023.116931] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Revised: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023]
Abstract
Bone disorders may affect the skeleton in different ways, some bones being very impaired and others less severely. In translational studies using murine models of human skeletal diseases, the bone phenotype is mainly evaluated at the distal femur or proximal tibia. The sacroiliac joint (SIJ), which connects the spine to the pelvis, is involved in the balanced transfer of mechanical energy from the lumbar spine to the lower extremities. Because of its role in biomechanical stress, the SIJ is a region of particular interest in various bone diseases. Here we aimed to characterize the SIJ in several murine models to develop a highly reliable tool for studying skeletal disorders. We performed a 12-month in vivo micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) follow-up to characterize the SIJ in wild-type (WT) C57BL/J6 mice and compared the bone microarchitecture of the SIJ and the distal femur at 3 months by micro-CT and histology. To test the sensitivity of our methodology, the SIJ and distal femur were evaluated at 3 and 6 months, in 2 murine models of skeletal disorder, X-linked hypophosphatemia (Hyp mice) and HLA-B27 transgenic mice and compared to WT mice. A multimodal analysis was performed, using a combination of microCT and histological analysis. With the Hyp model, the SIJ displayed more bone microarchitecture alterations than the distal femur. Hyp mice showed a significant reduction in trabecular bone at both the distal femur and sacral slope as compared with WT mice, with a significant positive correlation between trabecular bone parameters of the distal femur and sacral side of the SIJ. Furthermore, trabecular bone parameters (Bone Volume/Total Volume (BV/TV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular pattern factor (Tb.Pf)) were significantly increased compared to femoral parameters at the SIJ. The sacral articular cortical bone, which is indicative of osteoarticular lesions, was altered in Hyp mice. Interestingly, in accordance to previous studies, HLA-B27 transgenic mice did not show any osteoarticular lesions as compared with WT mice. Cortical bone parameters (thickness, porosity), as well as scoring performed with double blinding, did not show difference between the 2 genotypes. The characterization and evaluation of the SIJ surface appears very sensitive to emphasize alterations of bone and joint. The SIJ may represent a valuable tool to investigate both bone and local osteoarticular alterations in murine models of skeletal disorders and might be a relevant site for assessing the response to treatment of chronic bone diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically review the published parameters for the assessment of subchondral bone in human osteoarthritis (OA) using computed tomography (CT) and gain an overview of current practices and standards. DESIGN A literature search of Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library databases was performed with search strategies tailored to each database (search from 2010 to January 2023). The search results were screened independently by two reviewers against pre-determined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Studies were deemed eligible if conducted in vivo/ex vivo in human adults (>18 years) using any type of CT to assess subchondral bone in OA. Extracted data from eligible studies were compiled in a qualitative summary and formal narrative synthesis. RESULTS This analysis included 202 studies. Four groups of CT modalities were identified to have been used for subchondral bone assessment in OA across nine anatomical locations. Subchondral bone parameters measuring similar features of OA were combined in six categories: (i) microstructure, (ii) bone adaptation, (iii) gross morphology (iv) mineralisation, (v) joint space, and (vi) mechanical properties. CONCLUSIONS Clinically meaningful parameter categories were identified as well as categories with the potential to become relevant in the clinical field. Furthermore, we stress the importance of quantification of parameters to improve their sensitivity and reliability for the evaluation of OA disease progression and the need for standardised measurement methods to improve their clinical value.

Arthritis Res Ther 2023; 25:242. [PMID: 38093316 PMCID: PMC10717893 DOI: 10.1186/s13075-023-03213-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the causal relationship between low bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoarthritis (OA) using Mendelian randomization (MR) design. METHODS Two-sample bi-directional MR analyses were performed using summary-level information on OA traits from UK Biobank and arcOGEN. Sensitivity analyses including MR-Egger, simple median, weighted median, MR pleiotropy residual sum, and outlier approaches were utilized in conjunction with inverse variance weighting (IVW). Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analyses and expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) colocalization analyses were used to investigate the potential mechanism and shared genes between osteoporosis (OP) and OA. RESULTS The IVW method revealed that genetically predicted low femoral neck BMD was significantly linked with hip (β = 0.105, 95% CI: 0.023-0.188) and knee OA (β = 0.117, 95% CI: 0.049-0.184), but not with other site-specific OA. Genetically predicted low lumber spine BMD was significantly associated with OA at any sites (β = 0.048, 95% CI: 0.011-0.085), knee OA (β = 0.101, 95% CI: 0.045-0.156), and hip OA (β = 0.150, 95% CI: 0.077-0.224). Only hip OA was significantly linked with genetically predicted reduced total bone BMD (β = 0.092, 95% CI: 0.010-0.174). In the reverse MR analyses, no evidence for a causal effect of OA on BMD was found. GO enrichment analysis and eQTL analysis illustrated that DDN and SMAD-3 were the most prominent co-located genes. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggested that OP may be causally linked to an increased risk of OA, indicating that measures to raise BMD may be effective in preventing OA. More research is required to determine the underlying processes via which OP causes OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Ward triangle is an important area used clinically to diagnose and assess osteoporosis and its fracture risk in the proximal femur. The main objective of this study was to investigate the rules of development and maturation of the trabeculae of Ward's triangle to provide a basis for the prevention and treatment proximal femur fracture. METHODS From January 2018 to December 2019, individuals from 4 months to 19 years old who underwent hip growth and development assessments at the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University were selected retrospectively. The outpatient electronic medical record system was used to collect information such as age, gender, imaging images, and clinical diagnosis. The development score and maturity characteristics of the trabecular bone were analyzed using hip radiograph data. Correlation analysis was performed to identify the relationship among age, neck-shaft angle and development and maturity score of the trabecular bone. RESULTS A total of 941 patients were enrolled in this study, including 539 males and 402 females. Primary compression trabeculae were all present at 1 year of age and matured at 7 years of age and older; primary tension trabeculae were all present at 4 years of age and matured at 18 years of age. Secondary compression trabeculae were present at 4 years of age and matured at 18 years of age. In addition, the neck-shaft angle progressively decreases from 4 months to 14 years of age but barely changes between 15 and 19 years of age. CONCLUSION In short, the development and maturation of the trabeculae in the ward' triangle followed a specific temporal pattern that was related to the neck-shaft angle. Therefore, these findings can help us understand structure and mechanical characteristics of proximal femoral trabeculae, and improve our understanding of the mechanism and treatment of proximal femoral fractures.

Mol Biol Rep 2023; 50:7437-7444. [PMID: 37479877 PMCID: PMC10460722 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-023-08505-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We compared the bone microstructure and metabolism of the femoral heads in patients with osteoporosis (OP) and non-OP patients to investigate the pathologic mechanism of OP and guide clinical treatment. METHODS AND RESULTS From January 2020 to June 2021, we obtained femoral head samples from 30 patients undergoing hip replacement due to femoral neck fracture. All patients were women aged approximately 67 to 80 years (mean age, 74 years). According to the dual-energy X-ray results, the femoral head samples were divided into the OP (T< - 2.5) and non-OP (T > - 1.5) groups. Microcomputed tomography scanning, bone metrology analysis, hematoxylin and eosin staining, and Masson's trichrome staining were used to compare the local bone trabecular microstructure changes. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR was performed to identify changes in the osteogenesis-related genes and the osteoclast-related genes in specific regions to reflect osteogenic and osteoclastic activities. Femoral heads with OP showed significant changes in the local bone microstructure. Bone density, bone volume fraction, and the number and thickness of the bone trabeculae decreased. Local bone metabolism was imbalanced in the areas with microstructural changes in femoral heads with OP, with increased osteoclast activity and decreased osteoblast activity. CONCLUSIONS Deterioration of bone microstructure is closely related to abnormal bone metabolism associated with the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts in osteoporotic femoral heads. Promoting bone formation by improving local bone metabolism, enhancing osteogenic activity and inhibiting osteoclast activity may be a promising way of preventing local OP and osteoporotic fractures.

Abstract
PURPOSE Radiomics of vertebral bone structure is a promising technique for identification of osteoporosis. We aimed at assessing the accuracy of machine learning in identifying physiological changes related to subjects' sex and age through analysis of radiomics features from CT images of lumbar vertebrae, and define its generalizability across different scanners. MATERIALS AND METHODS We annotated spherical volumes-of-interest (VOIs) in the center of the vertebral body for each lumbar vertebra in 233 subjects who had undergone lumbar CT for back pain on 3 different scanners, and we evaluated radiomics features from each VOI. Subjects with history of bone metabolism disorders, cancer, and vertebral fractures were excluded. We performed machine learning classification and regression models to identify subjects' sex and age respectively, and we computed a voting model which combined predictions. RESULTS The model was trained on 173 subjects and tested on an internal validation dataset of 60. Radiomics was able to identify subjects' sex within single CT scanner (ROC AUC: up to 0.9714), with lower performance on the combined dataset of the 3 scanners (ROC AUC: 0.5545). Higher consistency among different scanners was found in identification of subjects' age (R2 0.568 on all scanners, MAD 7.232 years), with highest results on a single CT scanner (R2 0.667, MAD 3.296 years). CONCLUSION Radiomics features are able to extract biometric data from lumbar trabecular bone, and determine bone modifications related to subjects' sex and age with great accuracy. However, acquisition from different CT scanners reduces the accuracy of the analysis.

Endocr Metab Immune Disord Drug Targets 2023; 23:1077-1086. [PMID: 36624641 DOI: 10.2174/1871530323666230109124631] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at high risk for osteoporosis. SIRT1 plays an important regulatory role in the occurrence and development of diabetes mellitus; however, it is still not clear whether SIRT1 is directly related to the osteogenic ability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in T2DM patients. METHODS We obtained BMSCs from patients with T2DM and healthy volunteers to determine the effect of SIRT1 expression on the osteogenic capacity of BMSCs. As a result, SIRT1 expression in BMSCs in T2DM was significantly lower compared to healthy volunteers, but the proliferative capacity of BMSCs in the T2DM group was not significantly different from that of healthy volunteers. RESULTS During osteogenic differentiation, the expression of SIRT1 in MSCs from T2DM patients was significantly decreased, and the osteogenic differentiation ability of MSCs from T2DM patients was significantly lower than healthy volunteers. After intervention with resveratrol, the expression of SIRT1 increased significantly, and the apoptotic rate of MSCs in T2DM patients decreased significantly. Moreover, resveratrol promoted osteoblast differentiation of MSCs. CONCLUSION Our study confirmed that the expression of SIRT1 is directly related to the osteogenic potential of BMSCs in patients with T2DM. Resveratrol promoted the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs by increasing the expression of SIRT1. The increased expression of SIRT1 significantly reduced BMSC apoptosis during osteogenic differentiation, which is one of the important mechanisms by which SIRT1 regulates the osteogenic ability of BMSCs. Our data also provide strong evidence that resveratrol may be used in the treatment of osteoporosis in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoporosis (OP) is a widespread disease that causes risks of spine and hip fractures. Morinda officinalis polysaccharide (MOP) shows therapeutic potential in OP. This article intended to understand the mechanism by which MOP impacts bone mineral density (BMD) and serum trace elements in OP rats. METHODS OP rat models were established by bilateral ovariectomy (OVX). Rats were intragastrically administered with MOP or ZLN005 [the activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α)] since the first day after operation for 8 weeks. Microstructural changes in OP rats were analyzed using micro-computed tomography system. Contents of serum Zn, Cu, Fe, and Mg in rats were measured. Levels of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), GSH, and malondialdehyde (MDA) in rats were determined by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Protein levels of PGC-1α and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) in cartilage tissues of rats were determined via Western blotting. RESULTS MOP enhanced BMD, bone volume per trabecular volume (BV/TV), Tb.N, and Tb.Th and reduced Tb.Sp in the distal femur of OVX rats, elevated levels of serum Cu, Fe, and Mg and contents of SOD, GSH, and GSH-PX and decreased MDA content. Moreover, MOP suppressed the PGC-1α/PPARγ pathway. Activation of PGC-1α partially abolished the action of MOP on ameliorating OP in OVX rats and strengthening anti-oxidation ability. CONCLUSION MOP mitigated OP in OVX rats by inhibiting the PGC-1α/PPARγ pathway.

Abstract
Bone homeostasis is the equilibrium between organic and inorganic components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and cells. Alteration of this balance has consequences on bone mass and architecture, resulting in conditions such as osteoporosis (OP). Given ECM protein mutual regulation and their effects on bone structure and mineralization, further insight into their expression is crucial to understanding bone biology under normal and pathological conditions. This study focused on Type I Collagen, which is mainly responsible for structural properties and mineralization of bone, and selected proteins implicated in matrix composition, mineral deposition, and cell-matrix interaction such as Decorin, Osteocalcin, Osteopontin, Bone Sialoprotein 2, Osteonectin and Transforming Growth Factor beta. We developed a novel multidisciplinary approach in order to assess bone matrix in healthy and OP conditions more comprehensively by exploiting the Fourier Transform Infrared Imaging (FTIRI) technique combined with histomorphometry, Sirius Red staining, immunohistochemistry, and Western Blotting. This innovatory procedure allowed for the analysis of superimposed tissue sections and revealed that the alterations in OP bone tissue architecture were associated with warped Type I Collagen structure and deposition but not with changes in the total protein amount. The detected changes in the expression and/or cooperative or antagonist role of Decorin, Osteocalcin, Osteopontin, and Bone Sialoprotein-2 indicate the deep impact of these NCPs on collagen features of OP bone. Overall, our strategy may represent a starting point for designing targeted clinical strategies aimed at bone mass preservation and sustain the FTIRI translational capability as upcoming support for traditional diagnostic methods.

Abstract
The development of a biodegradable and shape-adaptable bioscaffold that can enhance local cytokine retention and bioactivity is essential for the application of immunotherapy in periodontal diseases. Here, we report a biodegradable, anti-inflammatory, and osteogenic ILGel that uses a physically cross-linked DNA hydrogel as a soft bioscaffold for the long-term sustained release of cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) to accelerate diabetic alveolar bone rebuilding. Porous microstructures of ILGel favored the encapsulation of IL-10 and maintained IL-10 bioactivity for at least 7 days. ILGel can be gradually degraded or hydrolyzed under physiological conditions, avoiding the potential undesired side effects on dental tissues. Long-term sustained release of bioactive IL-10 from ILGel not only promoted M2 macrophage polarization and attenuated periodontal inflammation but also triggered osteogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), leading to accelerated alveolar bone formation and healing of alveolar bone defects under diabetic conditions in vivo. ILGel treatment significantly accelerated the defect healing rate of diabetic alveolar injury up to 93.42 ± 4.6% on day 21 post treatment compared to that of free IL-10 treatment (63.30 ± 7.39%), with improved trabecular architectures. Our findings imply the potential application of the DNA hydrogel as the bioscaffold for cytokine-based immunotherapy in diabetic alveolar bone injury and other periodontal diseases.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative disease of the joint, featured by articular cartilage destruction and subchondral bone marrow lesions. Articular cartilage and subchondral bone constitute an osteochondral unit that guarantees joint homeostasis. During OA initiation, activated osteoclasts in subchondral bone ultimately result in impaired capacities of the subchondral bone in response to mechanical stress, followed by the degradation of overlying articular cartilage. Thus, targeting osteoclasts could be a potential therapeutic option for treating OA. Here, we observed that farnesoid X receptor (FXR) expression and osteoclast fusion and activity in subchondral bone were concomitantly changed during early-stage OA in the OA mouse model established by anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT). Then, we explored the therapeutic effects of FXR agonist GW4064 on the osteochondral pathologies in ACLT mice. We showed that GW4064 obviously ameliorated subchondral bone deterioration, associated with reduction in tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) positive multinuclear osteoclast number, as well as articular cartilage degradation, which were blocked by the treatment with FXR antagonist Guggulsterone. Mechanistically, GW4064 impeded osteoclastogenesis through inhibiting subchondral bone osteoclast fusion via suppressing c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) 1/2/nuclear factor of activated T-cells 1 (NFATc1) pathway. Taken together, our results present evidence for the protective effects of GW4064 against OA by blunting osteoclast-mediated aberrant subchondral bone loss and subsequent cartilage deterioration. Therefore, GW4064 demonstrates the potential as an alternative therapeutic option against OA for further drug development.

JOR Spine 2022; 5:e1195. [PMID: 35386753 PMCID: PMC8966878 DOI: 10.1002/jsp2.1195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2021] [Revised: 12/19/2021] [Accepted: 02/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Focal osteoporosis defect has shown a high association with the bone fragility and osteoporotic fracture prevalence. However, no routine computed tomography (CT)-based vertebral focal osteoporosis defect measurement and its association with vertebral compression fracture (VCF) were discussed yet. This study aimed to develop a routine CT-based measurement method for focal osteoporosis defect quantification, and to assess its association with the VCF prevalence. Materials and Methods A total of 205 cases who underwent routine CT scanning, were retrospectively reviewed and enrolled into either the VCF or the control group. The focal bone mineral content loss (focal BMC loss), measured as the cumulated demineralization within bone void space, was proposed for focal osteoporosis defect quantification. Its scan-rescan reproducibility and its correlation with trabecular bone mineral density (BMD) and apparent microarchitecture parameters were evaluated. The association between focal BMC loss and the prevalence of VCF was studied by logistic regression. Results The measurement of focal BMC loss showed high reproducibility (RMSSD = 0.011 mm, LSC = 0.030 mm, ICC = 0.97), and good correlation with focal bone volume fraction (r = 0.79, P < 0.001), trabecular bone separation (r = 0.76, P < 0.001), but poor correlation with trabecular BMD (r = 0.37, P < 0.001). The focal BMC loss was significantly higher in the fracture group than the control (1.03 ± 0.13 vs. 0.93 ± 0.11 mm; P < 0.001), and was associated with prevalent VCF (1.87, 95% CI = 1.31-2.65, P < 0.001) independent of trabecular BMD level. Discussion As a surrogate measure of focal osteoporosis defect, focal BMC Loss independently associated with the VCF prevalence. It suggests that focal osteoporosis defect is a common manifestation that positively contributed to compression fracture risk and can be quantified with routine CT using focal BMC Loss.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the micro structural properties of the subchondral trabecular bone (STB) and the macro mechanical properties of the articular cartilage (AC) in patients with osteoporotic (OP) and osteopenic (OPE) fractures. Sixteen femoral head samples (OP;OPE, n = 8 each) were obtained from female patients who underwent hip hemiarthroplasty. STB and AC specimens were harvested from those heads. Bone specimens were scanned using µ-CT to determine the micro structural properties. In-situ nondestructive compressive tests were performed for the cartilages to obtain elastic properties. The finite element technique was implemented on STB models created from µ-CT data to compute apparent elastic modulus. In addition, dynamic cyclic destructive tests were performed on STB and AC specimens to assess failure cycles. The results demonstrated that STB specimens in OPE group have more interconnected structure and higher cyclic dynamic strength than those in OP group. Furthermore, bone mineral density, failure cycle, and trabecular number of STB were positively correlated with the cartilage failure cycle, which indicates that STB alteration may affect the macroscopic mechanical properties of AC. The findings suggest that STB loss correlates with a decrease in cartilage strength and that improving of bone quality may prevent cartilage weakness.

Abstract
Bone microarchitecture has been shown to provide useful information regarding the evaluation of skeleton quality with an added value to areal bone mineral density, which can be used for the diagnosis of several bone diseases. Bone mineral density estimated from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has shown to be a limited tool to identify patients' risk stratification and therapy delivery. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been proposed as another technique to assess bone quality and fracture risk by evaluating the bone structure and microarchitecture. To date, MRI is the only completely non-invasive and non-ionizing imaging modality that can assess both cortical and trabecular bone in vivo. In this review article, we reported a survey regarding the clinically relevant information MRI could provide for the assessment of the inner trabecular morphology of different bone segments. The last section will be devoted to the upcoming MRI applications (MR spectroscopy and chemical shift encoding MRI, solid state MRI and quantitative susceptibility mapping), which could provide additional biomarkers for the assessment of bone microarchitecture.
