Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are the products of non-enzymatic reactions between free amino groups of macromolecules and reducing sugars. AGEs accumulation in bone tissues changes the activity and function of bone cells by binding to their surface receptors, causing abnormalities in the process of bone remodeling. AGEs accumulation can also change the original structure and mineral deposition of bone collagen, affect the micro-mechanical properties of bone tissues, and further reduce bone strength and toughness, increase the bone fracture risk, which will lead to bone diseases and do great harm to human health. This article summarized the causes of AGEs and their detection methods, and reviewed previous studies about the effects of AGEs accumulation on bone biomechanics at micro and macro levels, so as to provide references for the early diagnosis and treatment of bone diseases in clinic.

As the main organ of the body, the load-bearing ability of bone is closely connected to its biomechanical properties. Bone is a complex hierarchical biomaterial, whose biomechanical properties are determined by its own structure and biological characteristics. Because of its mechanical adaptability, bone tissues represent different biomechanical properties under different mechanical loading. To quantify the complicated properties of bone and provide an accurate theoretical basis for clinical research, it is necessary to give insight into the biomechanical properties of bone at different levels and the constitutive relationships of bone tissues. In this review, relative researches on constitutive relationships in recent years were summarized based on its hierarchical biomechanical properties.

En el trabajo se estima la prevalencia del dolor óseo metastásico en nuestro país en no menos de 3 750 pacientes. Se examina, asimismo, el papel del Fosfato de sodio-[], de eficacia comparable y menor costo que el de otros radiofármacos, lo que hace posible el renacer de su uso. Aunque más radiotóxico, ello no lo invalida como opción, lo que se evidencia también en la experiencia cubana. El Centro de Isótopos (Centis) puso en marcha una línea de producción con posibilidad de obtener hasta 37 GBq (1 Ci) de de alta calidad cada semana. El hecho de que se produzca por separación electroquímica mediante un generador de radionúclidos, a partir del 90Sr, hace que no se requiera importación de materia prima radiactiva, prácticamente, por tiempo indefinido, es decir, que el radionúclido estaría disponible de manera sostenible. Al tener el una energía de emisión β- mayor, pudiera pensarse que debiera ser más radiotóxico que el . Sin embargo, se dan evidencias de que el en forma de fosfato es más radiotóxico que el 90Y en forma de citrato. En Europa un radiofármaco basado en un liofilizado de EDTMP y Cloruro de itrio-[] ha tenido buen efecto para el alivio del dolor en 191 pacientes. (Centis) tiene registrado el Cloruro de itrio-[] para marcaje y se trata de introducir en el mercado un radiofármaco con este precursor radioactivo y el liofilizado importado, a los efectos de dar adecuada atención al importante número de pacientes que se beneficiarían
In this paper the prevalence of metastatic bone pain is estimated in our country in no less than 3 750 patients. Moreover, the role of -phosphate, which effectiveness is comparable to other radiopharmaceuticals, and the possible return to its previous general use, as it is cheaper, is examined. The fact that is considered more radiotoxic doesnt invalidate it as a treatment option, which is also evidenced by the Cuban experience. The Center of Isotopes (Centis) has established a production line of up to 37 GBq (1 Ci) per week of high quality . The fact of its being obtained through a radionuclide generator by electrochemical separation from makes the import of radioactive raw material practically not required for indefinite time. This implies that the radionuclide could be available in a sustainable way. By having the greater β- emission energy, it might be more radiotoxic than . Nevertheless, some evidences show that in the form of orthophosphate is more radiotoxic than 90Y citrate. In Europe, a radiopharmaceutical consisting of a lyophilized kit of EDTMP and Chloride solution was able to relief pain in 191 patients. Centis has registered the chloride solution for labeling. Then the task is to introduce in the market a radiopharmaceutical with this radioactive precursor and the imported lyophilized kit in order to increase the treatment to an important number of patients that, as a result, could be benefitted

Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of free fibula and flap grafts on the repair of all the first metatarsal bone at one stage.Methods There were 9 cases with the first metatarsal bone defect from Janurary 2003 to December 2009 that treated with free vascularized fibular bone and free vascularized flap at one stage.In which 6 cases reconstructed at the primary stage and 3 cases reconstructed at the second stage.Seven cases reconstructed by free vascularized fibular combined with ALTPF,two cases reconstructed by free vascularized fibular combined with TAPF.The free vascularized fibular and flap restored the first metatarsal bone and the soft tissue defects respectively.Vascular anastomosis was the artery of flap anastomosis with anterior tibial artery and the vein of the flap anastomosis with great saphenous vein,the peroneal artery and accompany vein anastomosis with artery and vein of the flap.Results The grafted tissues survived smoothly in 8 cases,vein crisis happened in I case and the ALTPF necrosis after blood vessels expedition.So the TAPF was changed to cover the soft defect and survived smoothly.Followiy-up were done from 6 to 36 months in 9 cases.There were no ulcer on flaps and no fracture again,the fibulas had been bone healing.Evaluated by Maryland standards,six cases were excellent,two cases were fine,one case was good.Conclusion The fibula combined flap grafts provide a relatively better alternative to repair the first metatarsal bone compound tissue defects at one stage.In addition,the procedure decreased frequency of operations and short the course of treatment.Sensory function reconstruction of fibula flaps should be given full attention.As fine function of the reconstructed foot,it is a effective method for reconstruction the burdened area of the foot.
