Intracellular calcium is influenced by the nuclear magnetic resonance therapy in Cal-78 chondrosarcoma cells

Steinecker-Frohnwieser Bibiane , Weigl Lukas , Kullich Werner

Calcium represents one of the most versatile and universal signalling particles regulating many different cellular processes. Changes in [Ca2+]i give rise to a vast diversity of modulatory events, amongst others, influencing activities of kinases and ion channels.It was demonstrated that nuclear magnetic resonance therapy (NMRT) treatment in osteoarthritis led to reduced pain and improved function followed by increase in quality of ...

Background: Bone marrow edema (BME) is a localised bone lesion. We hypothesize that structural bone alterations increase the susceptibility to BME. Aim of this study was to analyse bone micro structure, bone mineral density (BMD) and serum fasting bone turnover marker (BTM) values in patients with BME.Methods: We compared 14 nonosteoporotic patients (43.7±19.2 years) with atraumatic BME of lower limb to 35 age-matched healthy controls (HC). HR-pQCT ...
