The Tendon Approximator Device in Traumatic Injuries

Abstract

The new nerve approximator device is cheap, feasible to use and reduces the time of tendon repair with sustained outcomes comparable to the conventional methods.

Morin Exerts Anti‐Arthritic Effects by Attenuating Synovial Angiogenesis via Activation of Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor‐γ

“…Based on the evidence that several flavonoids are able to activate PPARγ [20][21][22][23] and that PPARγ is actively involved in the regulation of angiogenesis, [25] we proposed a hypothesis that morin might exert its anti-angiogenic effects by activating PPARγ . To verify this, we utilized HUVECs to explore the suppressive effect of morin on VEGF-induced endothelial cell migration and tube formation in vitro and treated HUVECs with PPARγ siRNA, GW9662 (PPARγ antagonist), and/or rosiglitazone (PPARγ agonist) to ascertain the involvement of PPARγ .…”
