Quantitative analysis on the rate of secondary bone mineralization (original) (raw)
Abstract
The microradiographic-photometric method of studying the X-ray absorption, and the microhardness testing technique were concurrently applied to investigate the rate of secondary mineralization of bone of known age in the osteons of young immature and adult dogs.
The results of the two series of measurement show a close agreement. They indicate that the rate of secondary mineralization, (a) slowly and progressively decreases with time in each osteon, (b) undergoes little variations in the various osteons of each subject independently of the reconstruction rate characteristic of each skeletal region, and (c) markedly decreases with the ageing of the animal.
Résumé
La méthode microradiographique-photométrique d'étude de l'absorption de rayons X, ainsi que la technique de microdureté, sont utilisées conjointement pour étudier la vitesse de minéralisation secondaire de l'os d'âge connu dans les ostéones de chiens jeunes et adultes. Les résultats des deux séries de mesures montrent une très bonne concordance. Ils montrent que la vitesse de la minéralisation secondaire a) décroit lentement et progressivement avec le temps dans chaque ostéone, b) subit peu de variations dans les divers ostéones de chaque sujet indépendemment de la vitesse de reconstruction, caractéristique de chaque région squelettique et c) décroit nettement avec l'âge de l'animal.
Zusammenfassung
Die photometrische Methode zur Untersuchung der Mikroradiographien und die Mikrotechnik zur Beurteilung der Knochenhärte wurden beide zur Bestimmung der Geschwindigkeit der sekundären Mineralisation von Knochen bekannten Alters in den Osteonen von jungen und ausgewachsenen Hunden angewandt.
Die Resultate beider Meß-Serien stimmten gut überein. Sie zeigten, daß die Geschwindigkeit der sekundären Knochenmineralisation a) mit der Zeit in jedem Osteon langsam und stetig abnimmt; b) kleinen Variationen in den verschiedenen Osteonen von jedem Tier unterliegt, unabhängig von der Neubildungsgeschwindigkeit, die für jede Skelettregion charakteristisch ist; c) mit dem Altern des Tieres beträchtlich abnimmt.
