Information regarding the domestic cat as a model animal in biomedical research has not been widely carried out. This study was aimed to see correlation between testicular weight, volume and total sperm count left testicle, right testicle both testes. In addition, this examine effect of weight on quantitative histomorphometry testes cats Indonesia. The results showed that there no difference Te...

BACKGROUND Glucocorticoid induced osteoporosis is a common clinical problem. OBJECTIVE To determine the pathophysiology of glucocorticoid induced osteoarthritis at the organ level. METHODS Iliac crest biopsy specimens were obtained from nine patients receiving prednisone treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. Osteocyte viability and histomorphometric indices were assessed. RESULTS Compared w...

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder characterized by increased bone fragility and low bone mass. Four clinical types are commonly distinguished. Schematically, type I is the mildest phenotype, type II is usually lethal, type III is the most severe form compatible with postnatal survival, and type IV is moderately severe. Although mutations affecting collagen type I are responsibl...

The purpose of present study was to apply histomorphometry to estimate the age at death using the clavicular osteonal remodeling rate and to develop an age-predicting equation. 46 clavicular samples consisting 28 males and 18 females were obtained from Korean cadavers. Two sequential 1-mm-thick sections, were prepared using a diamond wheel, and a 100 um-thick section was then made by manual gri...

Transiliac biopsies from 34 female patients with corticosteroid treated chronic active hepatitis have been examined to determine the contributions made by decreased bone formation and increased bone resorption to bone loss associated with this condition and to determine the structural basis of the bone loss. Mean wall thickness was significantly reduced when compared with control values (p less...
