[Experimental study on effect of qishejingkang recipe on activity of alkaline phosphatases in osteophyte formation of degenerated cervical vertebrae of rabbits].

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of Qishejingkang recipe (QSJKR) on activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in osteophyte formation of degenerated cervical vertebrae. METHODS A model of degenerated cervical vertebrae in the rabbit was established through resection of the cervical supraspinous and

A histochemical study of alkaline and acid phosphatase activity in subchondral bone from osteoarthrotic human hips.

Only registered users can translate articles

In order to analyze the presence of alkaline and acid phosphatase activity in osteoarthrotic subchondral bone frozen sections from 24 femoral heads were prepared for semiquantitative analysis, using the enzyme-histochemical methods described by Burstone and by Barka and Anderson. Different areas of

Oncogene expression in the peri-articular osteophytes.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to ascertain the proliferative and probably reparative potentials of the periarticular osteophytes by evaluating the sites of expression of c-myc, c-jun and c-fos oncogenes in this neoplastic repair tissue. METHODS Sections of osteophytes were obtained from knees

Osteoblasts and osteoclasts in adult human osteophyte tissue express the mRNAs for insulin-like growth factors I and II and the type 1 IGF receptor.

Only registered users can translate articles

Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are among the most abundant growth factors present in bone. In vitro, bone-derived cells both produce and respond to IGFs I and II, suggesting that these growth factors play an autocrine role in the regulation of bone turnover. In vivo, however, particularly in

Osteophyte formation and matrix mineralization in a TMJ osteoarthritis mouse model are associated with ectopic hedgehog signaling.

Only registered users can translate articles

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a diarthrodial joint that relies on lubricants for frictionless movement and long-term function. It remains unclear what temporal and causal relationships may exist between compromised lubrication and onset and progression of TMJ disease. Here we report that

Histological Evaluation of Early-Phase Changes in the Osteochondral Unit After Microfracture in a Full-Thickness Cartilage Defect Rat Model.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND The microfracture (MF) technique is an established surgical treatment for cartilage injury. However, the early-phase histological changes in full-thickness cartilage defects (FTCDs) after MF and the concomitant changes in the subchondral bone are still unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine the

Insight on Bone Morphogenetic Protein 7 in Ankylosing Spondylitis and its association with disease activity and radiographic damage.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Fusion of joints as well as intervertebral spaces by the formation of bony spurs appearing as syndesmophytes and osteophytes are the hallmark of spondyloarthropathies which accounts for disability. The aim of this study was to assess the serum level of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-7

Distribution of 99mTc-phosphate compounds in osteoarthritic femoral heads.

Only registered users can translate articles

In a study of the distribution of 99mTc-polyphosphate and 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate in osteoarthritic femoral heads by macroautoradiography of samples obtained during replacement surgery, the bone-seeking agents were seen to accumulate in the weight-bearing, denuded areas, mainly in the cyst

Carprofen simultaneously reduces progression of morphological changes in cartilage and subchondral bone in experimental dog osteoarthritis.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug, carprofen, on the structure and metabolism of cartilage and subchondral bone in the experimental osteoarthritic (OA) canine model. METHODS Experimental Groups 1 and 2 received a sectioning of the anterior cruciate ligament

Osteoarthrosis. Changes of bone, cartilage and synovial membrane in relation to bone scintigraphy.

Only registered users can translate articles

The present study was undertaken to investigate the sites at which the 99mTc phosphorous compounds bind to skeletal tissue in general, and their localization at different stages of osteoarthritis in particular, in order thereby to arrive at a better morphological basis for interpreting the

The effect of carprofen on selected markers of bone metabolism in dogs with chronic osteoarthritis.

Only registered users can translate articles

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug carprofen on bone turnover and to monitor the progress of chronic osteoarthritic dogs by measuring different bone markers and radiographic evalutation of the corresponding joints. For this purpose 20

A critical review. Heterotopic ossification in total hip replacement.

Only registered users can translate articles

Heterotopic ossification (HO) status post total hip arthroplasty is a relatively common phenomenon with clinical significance in approximately 5% of all cases. Risk factors appear to include males with osteoarthritis, particularly with marked osteophyte formation, and those with ankylosing

A role for N-cadherin in the development of the differentiated osteoblastic phenotype.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cadherins are a family of cell surface adhesion molecules that play an important role in tissue differentiation. A limited repertoire of cadherins has been identified in osteoblasts, and the role of these molecules in osteoblast function remains to be elucidated. We recently cloned an

Response of knee fibrocartilage to joint destabilization.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE A major challenge to understanding osteoarthritis (OA) pathology is identifying the cellular events that precede the onset of cartilage damage. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of joint destabilization on early changes to fibrocartilage in the joint. METHODS The

Expression of mRNA for IL1 beta, IL6 and TGF beta 1 in developing human bone and cartilage.

Only registered users can translate articles

Using in situ hybridization, we investigated the expression of mRNA for interleukin-1 beta (IL1 beta), interleukin-6 (IL6), and transforming growth factor-beta-1 (TGF beta 1) in sections of developing bone in human osteophytes. The expression was related to the cellular activity of alkaline
