Fig. 7From: Psoralen synergies with zinc implants to promote bone repair by regulating ZIP4 in rats with bone defectEffects of Zn + CS/pPRL implants on bone formation in rats with bone defects. (A) TRAP/ALP staining images of femurs with bone defects from rats. Purple represents TRAP positive; brown represents ALP positive. Scale bars, 100 μm. (B) BALP levels in serum detected using an ELISA assay. (C) Representative fluorescence images of femurs with bone defects from rats after xylenol orange (red) and calcein labelling (green). Dynamic histomorphometric analyses of femur including mineral apposition rate (MAR). Bars represent mean ± S.D. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01Back to article page
