Abstract To improve the quality and efficiency of femoral stem prosthesis design, a Monte Carlo method based on femoral bone marrow cavity analysis is proposed to measure morphological parameters using anatomical semantics. The region of interest is the femur, which includes the medullary cavity and cortical region. After this region is extracted, the size of the cavity and region is simulated using the Monte Carlo method. Finally, based on clinical needs, the morphological parameters are calculated and analyzed based on the size of the region of interest. From the perspective of the probability model, the non-random problem of solving the cross-section area of the femoral marrow cavity is transformed into one having a random nature so that a probability model can be used. The experimental results show that this method is simple, flexible, and efficient. It provides a new and reasonable scientific method for comprehensively understanding the anatomical morphological changes of the femoral marrow cavity. The measurement and analysis of the morphological parameters of the femoral bone marrow cavity in this paper provide the necessary scientific theoretical support for improved morphologic research, design, and clinical selection of femoral stem prostheses and has important significance and application value in clinical practice.

Abstract A technic has been developed for studying the femoral bone marrow of the dog by perfusing the isolated hind limb. With the use of this method, bone marrows were perfused for 4-6 hours with donor dog blood alone and blood containing sheep erythropoietin, cobalt, growth hormone, hydrocortisone, 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine or testosterone. Significant increases were seen in nucleated erythroid cell counts within femoral marrows perfused with blood containing sheep erythropoietin and cobalt. A slight increase was also noted in the bone marrows from limbs in which growth hormone was added to the perfusion system. It may be concluded from these experiments that erythropoietin, cobalt and growth hormone are capable of stimulating erythroid hyperplasia in the bone marrow directly.

Abstract Procedures of bone marrow quantitation have been applied to the study of the pathogenesis of a leukemia in rats. Mature Long-Evans rats developed an acute form of the Shay Chloroleukemia after intravenous administration of leukemic cells. Assessment of total nucleated cell numbers (normal and leukemic) per mg. of femoral bone marrow was made during the course of the pathogenesis (20 days). Reductions in the numbers of normal marrow elements were observed prior to significant increases in chloroleukemic cells. A progressive decrease in total marrow cellularity was noted in all subsequent stages. In animals surviving 17-20 days, the total number of hemic cells in the femoral marrow was found to be approximately 40 per cent of that seen in normal animals. The leukemia developed more rapidly in young than in adult animals. Using total and differential bone marrow cellularity as a criterion for the stage of pathogenesis, standardized leukemic rats can be prepared for experimentation.

Adult bone marrow is a major site for hematopoiesis, and reduction of the bone marrow cavity induces hematopoiesis in extramarrow tissues. To investigate the rudimentary intramarrow and the compensatory extramarrow hematopoiesis, particularly B lymphopoiesis, we used 3 osteopetrotic mouse strains [op/op, mi/mi, and Fos(−/−)], which are severely deficient in functional osteoclasts and therefore form inadequate bone marrow cavities. We found that bone marrow in these osteopetrotic mice supports myelopoiesis but not B lymphopoiesis, although cells that have the potential to differentiate into B lineage cells are present in the bone marrow. Although B lymphopoiesis normally occurs both in the spleen and liver of newborn mice, compensatory B lymphopoiesis in adultop/op and mi/mi mice is observed only in the liver, while myelopoiesis is enhanced in both organs. Interestingly, mice lacking the Fos proto-oncogene exhibit B lymphopoiesis in the spleen as well as liver. The amounts of expression of steel factor, Flt3/Flk-2 ligand, and interleukin-7 in the bone marrow, spleen, or liver were not significantly affected in these osteopetrotic mutants. These findings suggest that the volume of the bone marrow cavity regulates B lymphopoiesis without affecting the production of certain hematopoietic growth factors. The splenic microenvironments that support both myelopoiesis and B lymphopoiesis in the neonatal stage are lost in adults and are not reactivated even in the osteopetrotic adults unless the Fos gene is disrupted.
