Identification of functional programmable mechanical stimulation (PMS) on tendon not only provides the insight homeostasis under physical/pathological condition, but also guides a better engineering strategy for regeneration. The aims study are to design bioreactor system with PMS mimic in vivo loading conditions, and define impact different cyclic tensile strain tendon. Rabbit Achilles tendons were loaded with/without (0.25 Hz 8 h/day, 0-9% 6 days). Tendons without lost its structure...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe a preliminary investigation into the heat treatment Ti‐6Al‐7Nb components that had been produced via selective laser melting (SLM). Design/methodology/approach Bars were using SLM by MCP‐HEK Tooling GmbH in Lubeck, Germany. These bars then subjected range treatments and resultant microstructure evaluated with respect its likely effect on fatigue. Findings It was found as received material consisted an α′ martensitic structure metastable β...
Physiotherapy is one of the effective treatments for tendinopathy, whereby symptoms are relieved by changing biomechanical environment pathological tendon. However, underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we first established a model progressive tendinopathy-like degeneration in rabbit Achilles. Following ex vivo loading deprivation culture bioreactor system 6 and 12 days, tendons exhibited degenerative changes, abnormal collagen type III production, increased cell apoptosis,...

The adsorption of nitrogen, carbon tetrachloride and water vapour was studied on various well-characterized chromium oxide gels in an attempt to relate the adsorptive properties with texture surface chemistry gels. Standard data obtained non-porous oxides provided a basis for analysis isotherms porous by application αs-method. pore structures identified were within both micropore mesopore range. For microporous it possible use nitrogen αs-plot assess volume external area; comparison volumes...
Our aim was to assess the intra- and inter-observer reliability in establishment of anterior pelvic plane used imageless computer-assisted navigation. From this we determined subsequent effects on version inclination acetabular component. A cadaver model developed with a specifically-designed rod which held component tracker at fixed orientation pelvis, leaving as only variable. Eight surgeons by palpating registering bony landmarks reference points. The exact then established using...
From nitrogen and water-vapour adsorption experiments the surface of pure rutile calcined at 450° has been characterized. Evidence for micropores which fill with water very low pressure, was obtained from t plots in multilayer region. Water-vapour isotherms determined 25° after outgassing various temperatures up to 470°, show an increasing level reaching a constant value >200°. Molecular remains on <200°. Rehydroxylation surfaces containing only isolated OH groups does not occur any...
The relative contributions of the forearm extensors to tensile force at lateral epicondyle were examined by implanting a transducer in common extensor tendon four soft fixed cadaver elbows and sequentially stretching each muscle arising from epicondye. Extensor carpi radialis brevis digitorum communis produced largest increases while superficial head supinator moderate increase tendon. longus ulnaris had no significant effect. Radial tunnel pressure was measured using balloon catheter...
To investigate the effect of intramedullary pin size in combination with various monocortical screw configurations on locking compression plate-rod constructs.A synthetic bone model a 40 mm fracture gap was used. Locking plates screws were tested no (LCP-Mono) and pins 20% (LCPR-20), 30% (LCPR-30) 40% (LCPR-40) diameter. bicortical (LCP-Bi) also tested. Screw two or three per fragment modelled long (8-hole), intermediate (6-hole), short (4-hole) plate working lengths. Responses to axial...
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to determine the effect plate–bone distance (PBD) and working length on 2.0-mm locking compression plate (LCP) stiffness strain in four-point bending torsion a diaphyseal fracture gap model. Study Design A total 54 LCP with three screws per fragment were assigned one nine combinations (WL; short, medium, long), PBD (1, 1.5, 3 mm) for sample size six construct configuration. Stiffness measured under quasistatic, nondestructive torsion. Plate...
