Objectives: To investigate the effects of teeth apical stress changes caused by teeth missing and its restoration on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) stresses. Materials and Methods: The apical stresses measured from photo-elastic experiments (2Kg centric vertical loading to different kinds of occlusion separately) were applied to the established three-dimension finite elemental model. The str...
Biomechanical factors are believed to play an important role in regulating the metabolic activity of chondrocytes in articular cartilage. Previous studies suggest that cytoskeletal proteins such as actin, vimentin, and tubulin influence cellular mechanical properties, and may therefore influence the mechanical interactions between the chondrocyte and the surrounding tissue matrix. In this study...
Introduction: Articular cartilage is typically subjected to physiological loading at high strain rates. The mechanical response to this type of load is mainly governed by interactions among three material phases: collagen fibrils, proteoglycan matrix and water containing diffusible ions. Previous model studies, which have adopted the same constitutive laws for the fibrils and the proteoglycans,...
the importance of mesenchymal stem cells (mscs), as adult stem cells (ascs) able to divide into a variety of different cells is of utmost importance for stem cell researches. in this study, the ability of cartilage extract to induce differentiation of rat derived omentum tissue mscs (rot-mscs) into chondrocyte cells (ccs) was investigated. after isolation of rot-mscs, they were co-cultured with...
Diced rib cartilage is an acceptable option in severe nasal deformities. We present our preliminary experience in KAMC in nasal septoplasties using the autologous diced costal cartilage. This is a retrospective study of the 22 cases who needed the autologous diced costal cartilage in our centre in 4 years. All our patients needed autologous diced rib cartilages. Twelve were wrapped with tempora...
BACKGROUND Tissue engineering is used for the treatment of many diseases, and the ideal cell source for cartilage tissue engineering is chondrocytes. The main limitation of chondrocyte is the low number of cells in cartilage tissue engineering. This study investigated a suitable cell source with high proliferation rate to obtain a large number of chondrocytes. METHODS Adult cartilage t...
Introduction: Damaged or diseased articular cartilage has limited repair opportunities. The development of functional articular cartilage repair techniques is conditional on the attainment of biotribological and biomechanical properties similar to native tissue. Typically, studies have been limited to either the biomechanical aspect or the biotribological aspect. Until recently, biotribological...
background: integrins are a family of transmembrane proteins that allow communication between the extracellular matrix and the interior of cells. chondrocytes, cells of articular cartilage, express integrins and these molecules appear to have a variety of roles including mechanotransduction. integrins are known to associate with a number of accessory molecules such as cd147 that may act to regu...
A better understanding of the three-dimensional mechanics of the pelvis, at the patient-specific level, may lead to improved treatment modalities. Although finite element (FE) models of the pelvis have been developed, validation by direct comparison with subject-specific strains has not been performed, and previous models used simplifying assumptions regarding geometry and material properties. ...
We have previously demonstrated that polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have caused phenotypic feminization/demasculinization of gonadal development in Xenopus laevis. Whether PCBs affect secondary sexual development has remained unknown. In this study, X. laevis tadpoles were exposed to Aroclor1254 and PCB(3) from stage 46/47 (system of Nieuwkoop and Faber) for up to 1 month postmetamorphosis. A...
