Question: To investigate the effect of targeted antiosteosarcoma methotrexate-bisphosphonate conjugate on growth inhibition and apoptosis in human osteosarcoma MG-63 cells.', 'MG-63 cells were treated with various concentrations of methotrexate-bisphosphonate conjugate and apoptosis was monitored via an MTT assay, cell morphology, TUNEL assay and flow cytometry analysis.', 'The survival rate of MG-63 cells treated for 24 to 96 hours with 2000 mg/ml or more of methotrexate-bisphosphonate conjugate decreased significantly. Cells treated with conjugate showed typical apoptotic features using inverted phase contrast microscopy and fluorescence staining, and the majority of cells demonstrated a positive result in the TUNEL assay. Karyopyknosis and crescent aggregation of chromatin were observed in conjugate-treated cells by electron microscopy. Flow cytometry of MG-63 cells treated with methotrexate-bisphosphonate conjugate showed a time and dose-dependent increase in apoptosis (p < 0.05).

Question: The aim of this study is to determine the consequences of delayed presentation of anorectal malformations and emphasize the causes of delayed diagnosis of these malformations.', 'We retrospectively reviewed 54 neonatal patients with a diagnosis of anorectal malformations. Group 1 consisted of 35 patients diagnosed within the first 48\u2009h of life and Group 2 included 19 patients diagnosed after 48\u2009h of life.', 'Obstructive symptoms at the time of diagnosis, overall complications and the mean postoperative hospitalization period in Group 2 were markedly higher than that of Group 1. A comprehensive neonatal examination within the first 48\u2009h of life was performed in 32 (91.4%) patients in Group 1 and 5 (26.3%) of the patients in Group 2 (p\u2009<\u20090.001).

Question: We studied the relations between bone geometry and density and the mechanical properties of human cadaveric tibiae. Bone geometry, assessed by MRI and pQCT, and bone density, assessed by DXA, were significantly associated with bone's mechanical properties. However, cortical density assessed by pQCT was not associated with mechanical properties.", 'The primary objective of this study was to determine the contribution of cross-sectional geometry (by MRI and pQCT) and density (by pQCT and DXA) to mechanical properties of the human cadaveric tibia.', 'We assessed 20 human cadaveric tibiae. Bone cross-sectional geometry variables (total area, cortical area, and section modulus) were measured with MRI and pQCT. Cortical density and areal BMD were measured with pQCT and DXA, respectively. The specimens were tested to failure in a four-point bending apparatus. Coefficients of determination between imaging variables of interest and mechanical properties were determined.', 'Cross-sectional geometry measurements from MRI and pQCT were strongly correlated with bone mechanical properties (r(2) range from 0.55 to 0.85). Bone cross-sectional geometry measured by MRI explained a proportion of variance in mechanical properties similar to that explained by pQCT bone cross-sectional geometry measurements and DXA measurements.
