Does low-intensity pulsed ultrasound enhance BMP-7-induced osteogenic differentiation of human fracture hematoma-derived progenitor cells in vitro?
These findings demonstrated for the first time the significant effect of LIPUS on the osteogenic differentiation of HCs in the presence of BMP-7. This study may provide significant evidence for the clinical combined application of BMP-7 and LIPUS for the treatment of acute bone fractures.
NC and NHtR are good predictors of MetS and cardiovascular risk factors in Asian Indians. NHtR is reliable and perhaps an even better index than NC with regards to cardiovascular risk prediction.
