Black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) and estrogen positively influence osteoporotic bone. Both substances may improve fracture healing in early osteoporosis as well. In 48 twelve-week-old ovariectomized or, respectively, sham-operated (SHAM) rats, a standardized metaphyseal tibia osteotomy with bridging T-plate fixation was performed. During the healing process of 35 days, rats received soy-free (SHAM, osteopenic C), estrogen-(E) or Cimicifuga racemosa-(CR) supplemented diets. After sacrifice, the callus formation was analyzed with regard to biomechanical quality, morphology, quantity, time course of new bone built and gene expression. CR induced a high rate of metaphyseal callus formation. The biomechanical properties and the amount of new callus formation indicated that fracture healing was still in progress. Therefore, gene expression of osteoblasts was comparatively high. Body weight and the trabecular structure were influenced little by CR. Estrogen improved the biomechanical properties of the callus. Resistance to microfracturing was significantly enhanced in the E group and even superior to SHAM. Remodeling of the callus formation had already begun. The trabecular network and the typical endosteal fracture healing were especially improved. Osteoporotic metaphyseal fracture healing was improved by estrogen more than by Cimicifuga racemosa. The process of fracture healing occurred nearly physiologically. The generation of callus formation was supported by Cimicifuga racemosa as well, but the five-week duration of application was too short for Cimicifuga racemosa to show its complete potential. Already-initiated Cimicifuga racemosa therapy for menopausal symptoms could be continued during fracture healing without hesitation."],["dc.description.sponsorship","DFG [STU 478/2-1]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1055/s-0029-1240798"],["dc.identifier.isi","000279668400002"],["dc.identifier.pmid","20104444"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/19846"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Georg Thieme Verlag Kg"],["dc.relation.issn","0032-0943"],["dc.title","Effects of Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) and Estrogen on Metaphyseal Fracture Healing in the Early Stage of Osteoporosis in Ovariectomized Rats"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

While they have demonstrated some positive effects on bone healing, more progress is needed in this area. This study used the well-known osteoporotic agents estrogen (E) and raloxifene (R) in conjunction with biomechanical whole body vibration (WBV) at a frequency of 70 Hz twice daily for six weeks to stimulate bone healing. Eighty-four 3-month old female Sprague-Dawley rats (12 per group) were bilaterally ovariectomized to develop osteopenia within eight weeks. Osteotomy of the metaphyseal tibiae was performed and fracture healing was then studied using mechanical tests, histomorphometry, computed tomography (mu CT), and gene analysis. We found that E and R improved the structure of osteopenic bones as did WBV alone, although significant levels for WBV were seldom reached. Combination treatments significantly enhanced stiffness (R + WBV; p < 0.05), endosteal bone (R + WBV; p < 0.01), and trabecular density (E + WBV; p < 0.05, R + WBV; p < 0.05). In addition, the expression of osteoclast-specific Trap was significantly reduced after treatment with E, R, or their combination with WBV (p < 0.01). The effects were additive and not inhibitory, leading us to conclude that the combined applications of WBV with E or R may improve the healing of osteopenic bones. The therapies studied are all currently approved for human use, suggesting ready applicability to clinical practice. To better understand the effects of WBV on osteopenic bones, the ideal vibration regime will require further study. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.

The effects of UCN are mediated via stimulation of CRF-receptors 1 and 2 (CRFR1 and 2, CRFR's) with a high affinity for CRFR2. It has been shown that the CRF-related peptides and CRFR's are involved in the regulation of stress-related endocrine, autonomic and behavioural responses. Using immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR, we now can show the differentiation dependent expression of UCN mRNA and peptide in human mesenchymal progenitor cells (MSCs) directed to the osteoblastic phenotype for the first time. UCN expression was down regulated by TGF-beta and BMP-2 in the early proliferation phase of osteoblast development, whereas dexamethasone (dex) minimally induced UCN gene expression during matrix maturation after 24 h stimulation. Stimulation of MSCs for 28 days with ascorbate/beta-glycerophosphate (asc/bGp) induced UCN gene expression at day 14. This effect was prevented when using 1,25-vitamin D3 or dex in addition. There was no obvious correlation to osteocalcin (OCN) gene expression in these experiments. In MSCs from patients with metabolic bone disease (n = 9) UCN gene expression was significantly higher compared to MSCs from normal controls (n = 6). Human MSCs did not express any of the CRFR's during differentiation to osteoblasts. Our results indicate that UCN is produced during the development of MSCs to osteoblasts and differentially regulated during culture as well as by differentiation factors. The expression is maximal between proliferation and matrix maturation phase. However, UCN does not seem to act on the osteoblast itself as shown by the missing CRFR's.

Here we aimed to investigate the short-term effects of genistein and equol on the proximal femur of ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Forty-eight, 3-month-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were ovarectomized; after eight weeks the bilateral osteotomy and osteosynthesis (OS) of their tibiae was performed and the rats were randomly divided into the following four groups: OVX control group (C), treated with estradiol-17beta (E2) -benzoate (E; daily intake 0.086 mg/d per animal), genistein (GEN; daily intake 12.7 mg/d per animal) and equol (EQ; daily intake 4.65 mg/d per animal). At 5 weeks postoperatively (OS), the breaking test was performed on the trochanteric region of femur. Additionally, histomorphometric assessment, and trabecular and cortical bone microstructure analyses were performed. The relative gain of body weight (BW) in the EQ (24%) group was significantly (p < 0.05) lower than in the C (33%) and GEN (30%) groups.

Due to the potential side effects of HRT, natural alternatives are appealing. The aim of this study was to determine whether Cimicifuga racemosa extract BNO 1055 improves metaphyseal fracture healing in severe osteopenic bone in rats. Thirty-three 12-week-old female rats developed severe osteopenia during 10 weeks after ovariectomy. After metaphyseal tibial-osteotomy and standardized T-plate-osteosynthesis, the healing periods in ovariectomized rats (C), 17-beta-estradiol (E) and Cimicifuga racemosa (CR) supplemented diets were assessed for 35 days. Changes in callus morphology were evaluated qualitatively by biomechanical testing and quantitatively in microradiographies and fluorochrome-labeled histological sections. The CR-supplementation slightly improved callus quality and trabecular bone formation. It significantly enhanced the endosteal callus density compared to C group (CI.Dn.e C: 59.08 +/- 21.89, E: 45.95 +/- 18.39, CR: 60.85 +/- 18.66 ), though most of the other morphological parameters examined showed no improvement. The time course of fracture healing did not change due to CR. Estrogen-supplementation enhanced the biomechanical properties of the fracture site. Trabecular bone was improved indicating the physiological endosteal healing process. The CR-supplementation did not exhibit positive effects in severe (senile) osteopenic fracture healing as seen in early (postmenopausal) osteoporosis in rats. Callus formation was slightly improved under CR. Estrogen improved fracture healing in severe osteopenic bone, while the extent of callus formation played a minor role.

Nonpharmacological and supportive therapy procedures, sport, and physical exercises seem to prevent bone loss and improve bone mass. In the present study, we examined the effect of whole-body vertical vibration (WBVV) on femoral intertrochanteric bone quality in the rat osteoporosis model. Sixty female Sprague-Dawley rats, 3-month old, were ovariectomized (OVX) or sham-operated. After 3 months, each group was divided into two subgroups. In one of the subgroups, rats were treated with WBVV at 90 Hz (3.9 g) for 35 days; the second subgroup remained untreated. After killing the animals, biomechanical strength and trabecular bone architecture of the proximal region of femurs were analyzed. New cortical bone appositions and mineral density of femurs were additionally measured. Treatment with WBVV resulted in improved biomechanical properties. Maximal load and stiffness of the intertrochanteric region of femurs after WBVV were significantly enhanced. Maximal load and stiffness in treated OVX animals reached the levels observed in untreated sham rats. WBVV significantly improved all measured histomorphometric parameters in the trabecular area. Treated rats showed significantly improved mineral content in ashed femurs compared to untreated animals. A comparison of widths of fluorescence bands in cortical bone of subtrochanteric cross sections did not show any significant differences between the groups after WBVV. Low-magnitude, high-frequency mechanical stimulation improves bone strength in the proximal femur and may be a possible nonpharmacologic treatment option for postmenopausal osteoporosis."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00223-010-9423-7"],["dc.identifier.isi","000286201200005"],["dc.identifier.pmid","21052653"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/7296"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/24279"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","0171-967X"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","Improvement of Femoral Bone Quality After Low-Magnitude, High-Frequency Mechanical Stimulation in the Ovariectomized Rat as an Osteopenia Model"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
