Concept of developing treatment's Algorithms

Osteoporosis

-Idenitifcation of Patient's phenotype

 

- Patient Screening

 

-Poor nutrition and exercise is an indicator for Osteoporosis

 

-Defects in collagen 1a1 and 1a2 genes

 

-Variations of the Wnt coreceptor; LPR5;

Osteolysis and implant loosening

-Variations in the TNF gene promoter

 

-IL-1 gene family and related protein 3

Monitoring patients postsurgically

-Urine metal ion level, serum cytokine, lymphocyte response

Mechanotransduction signaling and skeletal repair

-COX2

Acute systemic inflammation and bone resorption

-TNF-α, IL-6, translocation of NF-kappa-B and TNF-alpha-mRNA expression in peripheral blood monocytes

Posttraumatic stress

-Trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy

Cell viability, Osteoblast differentiation, gene expression of osteoblasts

-Level of canonical Wnt-,IGF-, TGF-β, FGF
