FIELD: medicine. ^ SUBSTANCE: osteons and intermediate lamellas are delineated and framed as members of analysis; osteocyte lacunae are numbered in each formed image; total number is presented, as well as a number of lacunae containing minerals in an amorphous phase. A percentage of the latter is described as a coefficient of osteocyte involvement in bone matrix mineralisation. If the minerals in the amorphous phase are found in less than 30% of lacunae, mineralisation activity of osteocyte is considered to be low. The presence of the amorphous minerals in 30-80% of lacunae shows moderate activity, and if more than 80% of lacunae contain the minerals in the amorphous phase, high activity is stated. ^ EFFECT: improved assessment accuracy. ^ 1 ex, 2 dwg |
