Canine trachealis muscle shortening and cartilage mechanics.
Canine trachealis muscle will shorten by 70% of resting length when maximally stimulated in vitro. In contrast, trachealis muscle will shorten by only 30-40% when stimulated in vivo. To examine the possibility that an elastic load applied by the tracheal cartilage contributes to the in vivo limitation of shortening, single pairs of sonomicrometry crystals were inserted into the trachealis muscl...
متن کاملAltered Knee Joint Mechanics in Simple Compression Associated with Early Cartilage Degeneration
The progression of osteoarthritis can be accompanied by depth-dependent changes in the properties of articular cartilage. The objective of the present study was to determine the subsequent alteration in the fluid pressurization in the human knee using a three-dimensional computer model. Only a small compression in the femur-tibia direction was applied to avoid numerical difficulties. The materi...
متن کاملAltered swelling and ion fluxes in articular cartilage as a biomarker in osteoarthritis and joint immobilization: a computational analysis.
In healthy cartilage, mechano-electrochemical phenomena act together to maintain tissue homeostasis. Osteoarthritis (OA) and degenerative diseases disrupt this biological equilibrium by causing structural deterioration and subsequent dysfunction of the tissue. Swelling and ion flux alteration as well as abnormal ion distribution are proposed as primary indicators of tissue degradation. In this ...
متن کاملElastic cartilage grafting in canine radial fracture
Bone has a capability to repair itself when it is fractured. Repair involves the generation of intermediatetissues, such as fibrous connective tissue, cartilage and woven bone, before final bone healing can occur. Theprocess of cartilage-to-bone transition (CBT) is a key for the achievement of rigid bone healing duringfracture repair. We tested this potential for elastic cartilage using a long ...
متن کاملChanges in corticospinal transmission following 8weeks of ankle joint immobilization.
OBJECTIVES Joint immobilization has previously been shown to modulate corticospinal excitability. The present study investigated changes in the excitability of distinct fractions of the corticospinal pathway by means of conditioning the H-reflex with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the primary motor cortex (Hcond). This method allows assessment of transmission in fast (monosynaptic) ...
