Percutaneous Bone Marrow Grafting in Radial Fracture in Rabbits

The use of beta-tricalcium phosphate bone graft substitute in dorsally plated, comminuted distal radius fractures

BACKGROUND Intraarticular distal radius fractures can be treated with many methods. While internal fixation with angle stable implants has become increasingly popular, the use of bone graft substitutes has also been recommended to address comminution zones and thus increase stability. Whether a combination of both methods will improve clinical outcomes was the purpose of the study METHODS The...

Toxicity of ascaridole from Chenopodium ambrosioides in mammalian mitochondria

Methods Ascaridole was synthesized from alpha-terpinene and characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy. The toxic effects of these compounds on macrophages from BALB/c mice and on the bioenergetics of submitochondrial particles from bovine heart (SMP) and rat liver mitochondria (RLM) were studied. Toxic radical intermediates arising from the endoperoxide ascaridole were characterized by ESR spect...
