Autofluorescence of bone tissues

Autofluorescence spectroscopy of epithelial tissues.

Autofluorescence of rabbit and human epithelial tissues were studied by using a depth-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy system with multiple excitations. Keratinization was found to be common in the squamous epithelium. Strong keratin fluorescence with excitation and emission characteristics similar to collagen were observed in the topmost layer of the keratinized squamous epithelium. The kera...

Heterotopic Bone in Elephantoid Tissues

Miss P., an Anglo-Indian lady, age 32 years, a resident of Malabar, was admitted to hospital on the 15th September, 1934, suffering from a gross condition of elephantiasis of both legs. The swelling of the legs began 20 years ago and since 1923 the patient had suffered from attacks of fever with occasional rigors about once a month. During these attacks the legs became very painful and she was ...

A simple and cost-effective technique to quench autofluorescence in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded cnidarian tissues

Analysis of anisotropic viscoelastoplastic properties of cortical bone tissues.

Bone fractures affect the health of many people and have a significant social and economic effect. Often, bones fracture due to impacts, sudden falls or trauma. In order to numerically model the fracture of a cortical bone tissue caused by an impact it is important to know parameters characterising its viscoelastoplastic behaviour. These parameters should be measured for various orientations in...

Fatigue of mineralized tissues: cortical bone and dentin.

Gaining a mechanistic understanding of the mechanical properties of mineralized tissues, such as dentin and cortical bone, is important from the perspective of developing a framework for predicting and preventing failure of teeth and whole bones, particularly with regard to understanding the effects of microstructural modifications from factors such as aging, disease, or medical treatments. Acc...
