Temporomandibular joint disc: a proposed histopathological degeneration grading score system.
AIMS The purpose of this study was to draw up a TMJ disc histopathological score that is a semi-quantitative transcription of the entire spectrum of TMJ disc degenerative diseases related to changes in disc tissue, and then validate the proposed grading, in order to contribute to a standardized histopathological diagnosis. METHODS Sections from sixty two temporomandibular joint disc specimens...
متن کاملInfrared Fiber Optic Probe(ifop) Evaluation of Cartilage Degeneration Correlates Withvisual and Histological Grading of Cartilage
Aim of study: Recent studies from our laboratory have utilized an infrared fiber optic probe (IFOP) to identify molecular signatures associated with degenerative collagen in harvested osteoarthritic human cartilage (1). In the current study, this research is advanced by the development of methodology to extend the IFOP to a clinical setting to be used as an arthroscopic diagnostic tool to evalu...
متن کاملValidity of histopathological grading of articular cartilage from osteoarthritic knee joints.
OBJECTIVES To determine the validity of the histological-histochemical grading system (HHGS) for osteoarthritic (OA) articular cartilage. METHODS Human articular cartilage was obtained from macroscopically normal (n = 13) and OA (n = 21) knee joints. Sections of central and peripheral regions of normal samples were produced. Sections of regions containing severe, moderate, and mild OA changes...
متن کاملOsteoarthritis cartilage histopathology: grading and staging.
OBJECTIVE Current osteoarthritis (OA) histopathology assessment methods have difficulties in their utility for early disease, as well as their reproducibility and validity. Our objective was to devise a more useful method to assess OA histopathology that would have wide application for clinical and experimental OA assessment and would become recognized as the standard method. DESIGN An OARSI ...
متن کاملLocal intra-articular injection of rapamycin delays articular cartilage degeneration in a murine model of osteoarthritis
INTRODUCTION Recent studies have revealed that rapamycin activates autophagy in human chondrocytes preventing the development of osteoarthritis (OA) like changes in vitro, while the systemic injection of rapamycin reduces the severity of experimental osteoarthritis in a murine model of OA in vivo. Since the systemic use of rapamycin is associated with numerous side effects, the goal of the curr...
