| Abstract | Bone formation in vivo is stimulated by mechanical loads. The primary endogenous biomechanical stimulus at the cell level, which results from mechanical loading, is fluid shear stress. Pulsed ultrasound (US) also induces bone formation and accelerates fracture healing. To determine the combined effect of these mechanical stimuli, MLO-Y4 cells were exposed sequentially to US (1.5 MHz, 30 mW/cm$^{2}$, 1 kHz pulse rate, 20% duty cycle) and fluid shear stress (SS) (19 dynes/cm$^{2}$) for a range of duration periods. Nitrite levels were measured which indirectly show the nitric oxide (NO) production from the cells. The amount of nitric oxide (NO) produced by cells exposed to combined US and SS treatments that consisted of equivalent exposure periods of 2.5, 5 and 10 min per treatment type, were respectively 0.7, 1.2 and 2.2 fold greater than the sum of the amounts of NO produced by cells exposed to lone US and shear stress treatments for the corresponding time periods (2.5, 5 and 10 min). Alone and in conjunction with mechanical stimuli, serum increases the NO production in the cells. 1400 W, a selective iNOS inhibitor, decreased by 33% the amount of NO produced by cells exposed sequentially to 10 min US and 10 min shear stress treatments. L-NAME, a non-selective inhibitor, completely inhibited NO production. Intermediate and long term experiments, where cells were exposed to US for 20 min and then to shear stress for 3 and 24 h, were also performed. For both durations nitrite levels were higher in the media of sequentially exposed cells than in the media of cells exposed to only one mechanical stimulus. In the long term, the rate of NO production decreased markedly. However, NO production remained significantly higher in the mechanically stimulated cells as compared to controls. In both the intermediate and long term experiments, US combined with SS to have a synergistic effect on eNOS mRNA levels and an additive effect on iNOS levels. These studies demonstrate that US and SS synergistically increase NO production in osteocyte-like cells and they suggest that it may be beneficial to use both exogenous US and endogenously derived SS to increase the formation of bone tissue. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
