Inhibition of an increase of osteoclasts has become the most important treatment for osteoporosis. The CXCR4 antagonist, AMD3100, plays an important role in the mobilization of osteoclast precursors within bone marrow (BM). However, the actual therapeutic impact of AMD3100 in osteoporosis has not yet been ascertained. Here we demonstrate the therapeutic effect of AMD3100 in the treatment of ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis in mice. We found that treatment with AMD3100 resulted...

Introduction: Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a well known surgical method to put the bone cement at osteoporotic vertebrae. There was a few report concerning about bone cement related complication such as dislodgment of injected cement. There are some contradictory study for long term reaction to bone cement in osteoporotic bone, especially injected cement features. This study is to assess the radiographic features of patients who underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in...

Objectives: To evaluate risk factors of subsequent vertebral fracture following acute osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture.Methods: As a multicenter retrospective study, we recruited 135 patients treated for acute osteoporotic compression fracture with available spine image taken at 1-year follow-up in three hospitals. The patients were divided into two groups according to occurrence of subsequent vertebral fracture. Two groups were analyzed with ...

The purpose of this study is to understand the changes of TBS scores in Asian females by comparing 1990’s and 2010’s DXA images.We have compared the DXA images of 3774 Korean females (age: 20–79) to Japanese (age: 20–79). While Korean DXA images were obtained in 2014 and 2015, Japanese data were obtained in 1996. Participants who have abnormal DXA images or lumbar disease were excluded.
