Expression of osteonectin in articular cartilage of osteoarthritic knees.
The expression of osteonectin (ON) in osteoarthritic articular cartilage was investigated by enzyme immunohistochemistry and colloidal gold immunoelectron microscopy. A total of 96 specimens from 9 knees of 8 patients with osteoarthritis (OA) were examined. In OA cartilage, ON-positive cells varied in distribution and were not seen in all the specimens obtained from the same patient. However, i...
متن کاملDifferential Immunohistochemical Expression Pattern of Galectin-3 in Normal and Osteoarthritic Human Articular Cartilage
Background: Previous studies have shown that Galectin-3, a member of lectin family, is expressed in developing cartilage in mouse embryo and also in growth plate of long bones. Objective: In the present work, the expression pattern of Galectin-3 in normal and various grades of osteoarthritic (OA) human articular cartilage has been studied. Methods: Using immunohistochemistry and standard we...
متن کاملCalcifications in human osteoarthritic articular cartilage: ex vivo assessment of calcium compounds using XANES spectroscopy.
Calcium (Ca(2+))-containing crystals (CCs), including basic Ca(2+) phosphate (BCP) and Ca(2+) pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystals, are associated with severe forms of osteoarthritis (OA). Growing evidence supports a role for abnormal articular cartilage mineralization in the pathogenesis of OA. However, the role of Ca(2+) compounds in this mineralization process remains poorly understood. S...
متن کاملIn-vivo Passive Kinematics of Osteoarthritic Knees
INTRODUCTION Osteoarthritis (OA) can lead to pain, disability, and loss of range of motion in the knee. The pre-operative condition of the knee has been shown to influence the functional outcome of treatments for OA [1]. A greater understanding of how motion of the knee is affected by OA may facilitate the assessment of the efficacy of potential treatments. We used a computer-assisted navigatio...
