Isolated syngeneic epiphyseal chondrocytes transplanted into a muscle formed cartilage in which matrix resorption and endochondral ossification began at the end of the second week after transplantation. After 56 days cartilage was converted into an ossicle. In 7-day-old intrarenal transplants, epiphyseal chondrocytes formed nodules of cartilage. In 10-day-old transplants, islands of bone appear...

Sixty gravid crossbred gilts were allotted to a 2 x 3 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments: two Ca sources (sun-cured alfalfa meal and CaCO3), three dietary concentrations of Ca (50, 75, and 100% of NRC requirements), and two phases of gestation (55 and 105 d). The objectives were to determine the effect of Ca source, dietary Ca concentration, and gestation phase on bone characteristics (bon...

a seven year-old boy with several painless masses on the ribs and shoulder was referred to our hospital. the masses were so prominent that they prevented the child’s sleep. since the patient had been ridiculed by his friends due to the rib prominences, he had refused to attend school. after clinical and radiological evaluations, the masses were diagnosed as hereditary multiple exostoses of the ...

hemangioma of the rib is a rare benign vascular tumor. herein, we report a 63-year-old man presenting with hemangioma of the left sixth rib. an osteolytic eccentric expansive mass with calcification and focal cortical disruption was detected on chest computed tomography (ct). the mass showed low 2-deoxy-2-[18f]-fluoro-d-glucose (18f-fdg) avidity on positron emission tomography. the patient unde...

Effects of castration and anabolic implants on weight gain, rib soft tissue composition and serum hormones were studied in cattle using a completely random design with a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement. Half of 16 bulls and 16 steers (Angus or Angus x Brahman) aged 9 mo and weighing 290 kg were treated with an implant (200 mg trenbolone acetate and 24 mg estradiol). Half of each group were not trea...

The growth in the number of communication satellites and increase antenna signal frequencies places higher demands on accuracy mass reflectors. reflector depends not only its structure materials but is also influenced by mounting. In this paper, based rib-reinforced designed Bauman Moscow State Technical University, effect reticulated shell mountings with different numbers interlacing ribs a sh...

short rib polydactyly syndrome (srps) is a very rare congenital anomaly that is classified into four subtypes. it is an autosomal recessive inherited disease. we report a case of this syndrome without a previous family history of congenital defects.
