Effect of experimental pulmonary arterial hypertension on renal and bone parameters of rats submitted to resistance exercise training. AN ACAD BRAS CIENC 2024; 96:e20230446. [PMID: 38655920 DOI: 10.1590/0001-3765202420230446] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by right ventricular failure and diminished cardiac output, potentially leading to renal and bone impairments. In contrast, resistance exercise training (RT) offers cardiovascular and bone health benefits. This study aimed to assess the impacts of stable PAH induced by monocrotaline (MCT) and RT on renal morphometry, as well as bone morphometry and biomechanical properties in male Wistar rats. Four experimental groups, untrained control (UC, n=7), trained control (TC, n=7), untrained hypertensive (UH, n=7), trained hypertensive (TH, n=7), were defined. After the first MCT or saline injection (20 mg/kg), trained rats were submitted to a RT program (i.e., Ladder climbing), 5 times/week. Seven days later the rats received the second MCT or saline dose. After euthanasia, renal and femoral histomorphometry and femoral biomechanical properties were assessed. PAH reduced renal glomerular area and volume, which was prevented by the RT. While PAH did not harm the femoral morphometry, structural and mechanical properties, RT improved the femoral parameters (e.g., length, percentage of trabeculae and bone marrow, ultimte and yield loads). Experimental stable PAH promotes renal but not bone damages, whereas RT prevents renal deteriorations and improves the femoral morphological and biomechanical properties.

Abstract
Bone tissue plays a crucial role in protecting internal organs and providing structural support and locomotion of the body. Treatment of hard tissue defects and medical conditions due to physical injuries, genetic disorders, aging, metabolic syndromes, and infections is more often a complex and drawn out process. Presently, dealing with hard-tissue-based clinical problems is still mostly conducted via surgical interventions. However, advances in nanotechnology over the last decades have led to shifting trends in clinical practice toward noninvasive and microinvasive methods. In this review article, recent advances in the development of nanoscale platforms for bone tissue engineering have been reviewed and critically discussed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of noninvasive and microinvasive methods for treating medical conditions related to hard tissue regeneration and repair.

Abstract
Multiphysics models have become a key tool in understanding the way different phenomenon are related in bone remodeling and various approaches have been proposed, yet, to the best of the author's knowledge there is no model able to link a cell population model with a mechanical stimulus model using a discrete approach, which allows for an easy implementation. This article couples two classical models, the cell population model from Komarova and the Nackenhorst model in a 2D domain, where correlations between the mechanical loading and the cell population dynamics can be established, furthermore the effect of different paracrine and autocrine regulators is seen on the overall density of a portion of trabecular bone. A discretization is performed using frame 1D finite elements, representing the trabecular structure. The Nackenhorst model is implemented by using the finite element method to calculate the strain energy as the main mechanical stimulus that determines the bone mass density evolution in time. This density is normalized to be added to the bone mass percentage proposed by the Komarova model, where coupling terms have been added as well that guarantee a stable response. In the simulations, the equations were solved employing the finite element method with a user subroutine implemented in ABAQUS (2017) and by applying a direct formulation. The methodology presented can model the cell dynamics occurring in bone remodelling in accordance with the asynchronous nature of this process, yet allowing to differentiate zones with higher density, the main trabecular groups are obtained for the proximal femur. Finally, the model is tested in pathological cases, such as osteoporosis and osteopetrosis, yielding results similar to the pathology behavior. Furthermore, the discrete modelling technique is shown to be of use in this particular application.

Abstract
Bone remodeling is a complex physiological process that spans across multiple spatial and temporal scales and is regulated by both mechanical and hormonal cues. An imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation in the process of bone remodeling may lead to various bone pathologies. One powerful and non-invasive approach to gain new insights into mechano-adaptive bone remodeling is computer modeling and simulation. Recent findings in bone physiology and advances in computer modeling have provided a unique opportunity to study the integration of mechanics and biology in bone remodeling. Our objective in this review is to critically appraise recent advances and developments and discuss future research opportunities in computational bone remodeling approaches that enable integration of mechanics and cellular and molecular pathways. Based on the critical appraisal of the relevant recent published literature, we conclude that multiscale in silico integration of personalized bone mechanics and mechanobiology combined with data science and analytics techniques offer the potential to deepen our knowledge of bone remodeling and provide ample opportunities for future research.

Abstract
The present study focuses on a model for three-dimensional bone remodeling of the human femur that considers cellular dynamics to determine the volume fraction of new bone. The model considers the interaction among responsive osteoblasts, active osteoblasts, and osteoclasts, as well as signaling molecules and parathyroid hormone (PTH). The stimulus of the model has a systemic origin due to the PTH effect, and a local origin due to the action of cytokines, growth factors, and mechanical stimuli near the site of the bone cells. The present work considers that the mechanical stimulus that activates cellular activity is obtained from stresses acting on the bone tissue and the number of daily loading cycles. In addition to simulating the bone modeling process in an intact femur, the numerical model is used to simulate bone adaptation in relation to the stress shielding phenomenon after the implantation of a femoral prosthesis. The results showed that the simulations provide a distribution of bone density that is similar to a radiograph and, in addition, allows the visualization of osteoblast and osteoclast dynamics in bone adaptation response after prosthesis implantation.
