In vivo animal experimentation has been one of the cornerstones of biological
and biomedical research, particularly in the field of clinical medicine and
pharmaceuticals. The conventional in vivo model system is invariably associated
with high production costs and strict ethical considerations. These limitations
led to the evolution of an ex vivo model system which partially or completely
surmount... hiện toàn bộ
Outcomes following fractured neck of femur in an Australian metropolitan teaching hospitalBone and Joint Research - Tập 2 Số 8 - Trang 162-168 - 2013
Ping Han Chia, L. Gualano, Siven Seevanayagam, Laurence Weinberg
Objectives To determine the morbidity and mortality outcomes of patients
presenting with a fractured neck of femur in an Australian context.
Peri-operative variables related to unfavourable outcomes were identified to
allow planning of intervention strategies for improving peri-operative care.
Methods We performed a retrospective observational study of 185 consecutive
adult patients admitted to an... hiện toàn bộ
MRI of articular cartilage at microscopic resolutionBone and Joint Research - Tập 2 Số 1 - Trang 9-17 - 2013
Yang Xia
This review briefly summarises some of the definitive studies of articular
cartilage by microscopic MRI (µMRI) that were conducted with the highest spatial
resolutions. The article has four major sections. The first section introduces
the cartilage tissue, MRI and µMRI, and the concept of image contrast in MRI.
The second section describes the characteristic profiles of three relaxation
times (T1,... hiện toàn bộ
Enhancement of fracture healing in the rat, modulated by compounds that stimulate inducible nitric oxide synthaseBone and Joint Research - Tập 6 Số 2 - Trang 90-97 - 2017
Rebecca Rajfer, A. Kılıç, Andrew S. Neviaser, Leah M. Schulte, Su M Hlaing, Jose Landeros, Mónica G. Ferrini, Edward Ebramzadeh, So Hyun Park
ObjectivesWe investigated the effects on fracture healing of two up-regulators
of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in a rat model of an open femoral
osteotomy: tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, and the recently reported
nutraceutical, COMB-4 (consisting of L-citrulline, Paullinia cupana, ginger and
muira puama), given orally for either 14 or 42 days.Materials and

Altered expression of microRNA during fracture healing in diabetic ratsBone and Joint Research - Tập 7 Số 2 - Trang 139-147 - 2018

ObjectivesDiabetes mellitus (DM) is known to impair fracture healing. Increasing
evidence suggests that some microRNA (miRNA) is involved in the pathophysiology
of diabetes and its complications. We hypothesized that the functions of miRNA
and changes to their patterns of expression may be implicated in the
pathogenesis of impaired fracture healing in DM.MethodsClosed transverse
fractures were cre... hiện toàn bộ
Age-related differences in the neck strength of adolescent rugby playersBone and Joint Research - Tập 1 Số 7 - Trang 152-157 - 2012

Objectives To evaluate the neck strength of school-aged rugby players, and to
define the relationship with proxy physical measures with a view to predicting
neck strength. Methods Cross-sectional cohort study involving 382 rugby playing
schoolchildren at three Scottish schools (all male, aged between 12 and 18
years). Outcome measures included maximal isometric neck extension, weight,
height, grip... hiện toàn bộ
Patient-reported outcome measures after total knee arthroplastyBone and Joint Research - Tập 4 Số 7 - Trang 120-127 - 2015
Prem N. Ramkumar, Joshua D. Harris, Philip C. Noble
Objectives A lack of connection between surgeons and patients in evaluating the
outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has led to the search for the ideal
patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) to evaluate these procedures. We
hypothesised that the desired psychometric properties of the ideal outcome tool
have not been uniformly addressed in studies describing TKA PROMS. Methods A
