Analysis of cartilage matrix fixed charge density and three-dimensional morphology via contrast-enhanced microcomputed tomography.
Small animal models of osteoarthritis are often used for evaluating the efficacy of pharmacologic treatments and cartilage repair strategies, but noninvasive techniques capable of monitoring matrix-level changes are limited by the joint size and the low radiopacity of soft tissues. Here we present a technique for the noninvasive imaging of cartilage at micrometer-level resolution based on detec...
متن کاملCompartmentalization Evaluated to Explain Discrepancies Calculating Cartilage Fixed Charge
Recent studies on methods of detecting the early onset of arthritic cartilage degradation using NMR-based techniques have shown that such detection is possible. The use of sodium NMR observations, along with an ideal Donnan single compartment model of cartilage, has already been validated as a means of measuring cartilage fixed charge density a known indicator of cartilage condition. Similar ca...
متن کاملExtracellular Fixed Charge Density and Osmotic Effects on Chondrocyte Proteoglycan Replenishment after Enzymatic Digestion of Cartilage Explants
INTRODUCTION Chondrocytes maintain a balance between catabolic and anabolic activities in order to provide cartilage tissue with its characteristic concentrations of extracellular matrix molecules such as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and collagen. Disruption of this balance may have implications for disease progression and loss of tissue properties. As demonstrated in a recent study [1], when the ...
متن کاملAN ELECTROMAGNETISM-LIKE ALGORITHM FOR FIXED CHARGE SOLID TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM
Fixed charge solid transportation problem (FCSTP) is one of the main and most important problems in transportation and network research areas. To tackle such an NP-hard problem, An Electromagnetism-like algorithm (EM) is employed. To the best of our knowledge, EM has been considered for any kind of transportation problems. Due to the significant role of parameters on the algorithm’s performance...
متن کاملArticular cartilage surface rupture during compression: investigating the effects of tissue hydration in relation to matrix health.
This study aimed at investigating articular cartilage rupture by investigating the response of healthy and degenerate cartilage through altering the osmotic swelling environment of surface-intact, cartilage-on-bone specimens. The osmotic environment in healthy and degenerate bovine cartilage was varied by soaking tissues in either distilled water or 1.5 M NaCl saline to render the tissues into ...
