| Research Abstract |
Promotion of bone healing is favorable for preventing the elderly from falling into osteoporosis, a bedridden state, or situation necessitating nursing care. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of low-magnitude whole-body vibration (WBV) on early-stage bone healing, mainly focusing on angiogenesis. Mice subjected to a drill-hole surgery on a tibial diaphysis were exposed to 0.3g WBV at 30 Hz for 20 min/day over a 12-day period. Following vascular casting, the defect site was CT-scanned by synchrotron light. Structural analysis suggests the WBV-induced promotion of the defect repair with reduced angiogenesis. In addition, the second harmonic generation microscopy showed that WBV had no effect on collagen synthesis. Furthermore, the enhancement of angiogenesis under WBV did not increase the promotion effect of WBV on bone healing.
