Does stiffness index identify patients with osteoporotic fractures better than ultrasound velocity or attenuation alone?
QUS variables discriminated women with low density or fracture from healthy postmenopausal controls. The SI was a significantly better indicator than BUA or SOS in this retrospective study.
These results show for the first time that DHA can inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis via caspase-3-dependent mitochondrial death pathway in ASTC-a-1 cells. Our work may provide evidence for further studies of DHA as a possible anticancer drug in the clinical treatment of lung adenocarcinoma.
