摘要

The mechanical properties of the cancellous bone in the laboratory rat animalmodel are of great interest to the research community for the evaluation of treatments forosteoporosis. Cancellous bone responds rapidly and dramatically to disuse, variouspathologies, nutritional deficiencies, and hormonal deficiencies and hence is often aprimary focus in animal studies. Previous methods for evaluating the mechanicalproperties of cancellous bone in rat test specimens included both cortical and cancellousbone. This thesis introduces a new method to core cancellous specimens using adiamond wire saw in concert with specially designed fixtures. This method has beentermed Isolated Cancellous Coring (ICC). The location and the geometry of the coredspecimens were determined based on uCT analysis. The isolated cancellous specimenswere subjected to uni-axial compression testing to evaluate the mechanical properties.Furthermore, the new method is evaluated by directly applying it to a study investigatingthe effects of estrogen replacement therapy in post-menopausal osteoporosis assimulated by the ovariectomized rat model.The results show that the ICC method can be applied to bone specimens with alarge range in density and micro-architecture parameters. The compression testing of theisolated cancellous specimens provides a sensitive indicator of the effects ofosteoporosis and treatment on the mechanical properties of the cancellous bone in thedistal rat femur. Also, the results indicate a possible discordant relationship betweenbone mineral density and bone strength with respect to estrogen treatment. Power law regressions show that approximately 50% of the variation in ultimate strength can beaccounted for with bone mineral density and the percent of bone volume per totalvolume.
