Periostin and osteopontin are matricellular proteins abundantly expressed in bone fracture callus. Null mutation of either the periostin ( Postn ) gene or Spp1 can impair healing. However, cell molecular pathways affected by loss POSTN SPP1 which lead to impaired healing not well understood. To identify potential pathways, a detailed radiological, histological, immunohistochemical analysis femur -null KO), normal (WT) mice was performed. Apparent changes specific protein levels identified...
Abstract The effects of naproxen, a nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drug (NSAID), on articular cartilage degeneration in female Sprague–Dawley rats was examined. Osteoarthritis (OA) induced by destabilization the medial meniscus (DMM) each knee. Rats were treated with acetaminophen (60 mg/kg), naproxen (8 or 1% carboxymethylcellulose (placebo) oral gavage twice daily for 3 weeks, beginning 2 weeks after surgery. OA severity assessed histological Research Society International (OARSI) scoring...

Estimating the mechanical properties of bone in vivo without destructive testing would be useful for research and clinical orthopedic applications. Micro-computerized tomography (μCT) imaging can provide quantitative, high-resolution 3D representations morphology is generally basis from which are non-destructively estimated. The goal this study was to develop metrics using qualitative quantitative aspects microarchitecture derived μCT estimate integrity fracture calluses. Mechanical data...
Abstract Shortcomings of fixation have been reported as a source graft failure in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. While interference screws long used devices for ACL reconstruction, they are not without complications. Previous studies highlighted the use bone void filler method; however, no biomechanical comparisons using soft tissue grafts with exist to our knowledge. The purpose this study is evaluate strength calcium phosphate cement compared screw an reconstruction...
