The primary objective of this investigation is to employ synchrotron radiation phase-contrast imaging computed tomography (SR-PCI-CT) to examine the morphological and structural attributes of different types of callus in a murine model of diabetic partial fractures. Additionally, a deep learning image segmentation model was utilized to facilitate both qualitative and quantitative analysis of callus during various time intervals. A total of forty male Kunming mice, aged five weeks, were randomly allocated into two groups, each consisting of twenty mice, namely, simple fracture group (SF) and diabetic fracture group (DF). Mice in DF group were intraperitoneally injected 60 mg/kg 1 % streptozotocin(STZ) solution for 5 consecutive days, and the standard for modeling was that the fasting blood glucose level was ≥11.1 mmol /l one week after the last injection of STZ. The right tibias of all mice were observed to have oblique fractures that did not traverse the entire bone. At three, seven, ten and fourteen days after the fracture occurred, the fractured tibias were extracted for SR-PCI-CT imaging and histological analysis. Furthermore, a deep learning image segmentation model was devised to automatically detect, categorize and quantitatively examine different types of callus. Image J software was utilized to measure the grayscale values of different types of callus and perform quantitative analysis. The findings demonstrated that:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;1)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;p&gt;SR-PCI-CT imaging effectively depicted the morphological attributes of different types of callus of fracture healing.

A 3D morphable model was constructed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Partial least squares – Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were used to characterize and compare hyoid shape differences between patients with RS and an age-matched control group.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>The study included 23 subjects with RS (mean age 9.8 ± 10.3 months) and 46 age-matched control samples. A less voluminous hyoid was observed for the RS group with a larger lateral divergence of the greater horns compared to controls (MANOVA, <em>p</em>-value&lt;0.001). The first shape variable from the PLS-DA model showed a significant correlation for the observed variance between the two groups (Spearman <em>R</em> = −0.56, <em>p</em>-value&lt;0.001). The control samples and 151 CT-scans of subjects up to age 4 years were used to create a 3D morphable model of normal hyoid shape variation (<em>n</em> = 197, mean age 22.1 ± 13.1 months). For the normal 3D morphable model, a high degree of allometric shape variation was observed along the first principal component.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>The 3D morphable models provide a comprehensive and quantitative description of variation in normal hyoid bone morphology, and allow detection of distinct differences between patients with isolated RS and controls.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9043,"journal":{"name":"Bone Reports","volume":"20 ","pages":"Article 101738"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352187224000056/pdfft?md5=dfe2c4a3e6d4058125a47668f4952c78&pid=1-s2.0-S2352187224000056-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139473605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
