“…Above, the close relationship between the two scores and the large reductions in the changes from 3 to 6 weeks compared with baseline to 3 weeks have relevance to the healing process, including the end of the inflammation period, reformation of blood vessels, reoccurring local circulation, and reconstruction of the synovial membrane23 ) . We think that after the healing process, a greater physical therapy effect appears.…”

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in pain, dysfunction, and grip strength of patients with acute lateral epicondylitis and to suggest the appropriate treatment frequency and period. [Subjects] The subjects were divided into three: 2 days per week group (n=12), 3 days per week group (n=15), and 6 days per week group (n=13). [Methods] All groups received conventional physical therapy for 40 minutes and therapeutic exercises for 20 minutes per session during 6 weeks. The outcome measurements were the visual analogue scale (VAS), Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE), and grip strength. [Results] The results of this study were as follows: at 3 weeks, there were no significant differences in VAS and PRTEE in the 3 groups, but at 6 weeks, 6 days per week group significantly decreased these two outcomes. Grip strength was significantly increased in 3 and 6 days per week groups at 6 weeks. [Conclusion] In conclusion, physical therapy is needed 3 days per week for 3 weeks in patients with acute lateral epicondylitis. After 3 weeks, 6 days per week is the most effective treatment frequency.

“…3). Peaks were present at 413 cm -1 and 549 cm -1 (P-O bending of the PO 4 3-ion), 388 cm -1 (O-H stretching) and a shoulder peak at 892 cm -1 represents the HPO 4 2-ion in the hydrated sample with a strong peak at 985 cm -1 shows P-O stretching from the PO 4 3-ion. Further P-O stretching modes are seen at 1079-1166 cm -1 (v 1 , v 2, and v 3 respectively).…”

“…Both the presence of fibrocartilage and the gradual calcification that occurs within this region, act to dissipate stress at the insertion site. 3 Although both soft and hard tissue exhibit similar tensile properties, 4 it is the elastic modulus mismatch, where the elastic modulus of bone is ten times that of tendons 3 which is the primary reason direct surgical reattachment of tendons and ligaments to bone often fail. 5 Current methods of repair using synthetic materials include: sutures; fixation plates; silastic sheets; carbon fibres; and fibrin glues, however, a lack of a graded interface region induces common failure of these repair methods.…”

(2011 AbstractIn order to combat the low regenerative capabilities of ligaments full 'bone to bone' replacements are required, which will integrate with bone while providing a smooth transition to the replacement soft tissue (tissues surrounding organs in the body, not being bone). This study investigated the use of 3D powder printing technology to form calcium phosphate brackets, previously used for forming bespoke scaffold geometries, to 95% ± 0.1% accuracy of their original CAD design. The surface and internal structure of the printed samples was characterised both chemically and morphologically and compared with hand-moulded cements in the dry state and after 3 days of immersion in phosphate buffered saline. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) all showed the presence of brushite in the hand-moulded samples and brushite and monetite within the printed samples. Furthermore, the printed structures have a higher level of porosity in the dry state in comparison to the hand-moulded (36 ± 2.2% compared to 24 ± 0.74%) despite exhibiting a compressive strength of almost double the hand cast material. Although the compressive strength of the printed cements decreases after the 3-day immersion, there was no significant difference between the printed and hand-moulded cements under the same conditions. 3D powder printing technology has enabled the manufacture of bespoke calcium phosphate brackets with properties similar to those reported for hand-moulded cements.

“…Deeper zones with higher concentrations of proteoglycans allow for the equal distribution of mechanical stress, thus protecting the subchondral bone from increased loading. 5 Excessive loads that damage collagen and proteoglycan fibre networks, thereby causing water loss, result in numerous morphological and biochemical changes in cartilage structure. AC is devoid of blood and lymphatic vessels and nerves; for this reason, it has a decreased ability to self-renew after injury.…”

Directed differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells into chondrogenic lineages for articular cartilage treatment

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In recent years, increases in the number of articular cartilage injuries caused by environmental factors or pathological conditions have led to a notable rise in the incidence of premature osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis, considered a disease of civilization, is the leading cause of disability. At present, standard methods for treating damaged articular cartilage, including autologous chondrocyte implantation or microfracture, are short-term solutions with important side effects. Emerging treatments include the use of induced pluripotent stem cells, a technique that could provide a new tool for treatment of joint damage. However, research in this area is still early, and no optimal protocol for transforming induced pluripotent stem cells into chondrocytes has yet been established. Developments in our understanding of cartilage developmental biology, together with the use of modern technologies in the field of tissue engineering, provide an opportunity to create a complete functional model of articular cartilage.
