Alterations in the vascular β-adrenoceptors of the rabbit knee joint due to acute inflammation
It has been shown that acute inflammation reduces the effectiveness of sympathetic nerves in the regulation of knee joint blood flow. To investigate the role of vascular β- adrenoceptors in this event, 12 NZW rabbits were maintained anaesthetized by 1 % halothane in N2O/O2, and acute knee joint inflammation was induced by intra-articular injection of 1 ml of 2% carageenan solution 24 hours be...
متن کاملHuman lumbar facet joint capsule strains: I. During physiological motions.
BACKGROUND CONTEXT The lumbar facet joint capsule is innervated with nociceptors and mechanoreceptors, and is thought to play a role in low back pain as well as to function proprioceptively. PURPOSE In order to examine the facet capsule's potential proprioceptive role, relationships between intracapsular strain and relative spine position were examined. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING Lumbar facet joi...
متن کاملFluid movement in occluded single capillaries of rabbit omentum.
The sequence of transcapillary fluid movement during microocclusion of single capillaries was investigated on the theoretical basis of the Starling hypothesis. For most capillaries studied, the theory agrees reasonably well with the experiments with red cells used as the tags for fluid movement. By analyzing the sequence of the movement of the red cell in one single occlusion, it was possible t...
متن کاملJoint Proprioception in Normal and Osteoarthritic Knees
The worldwide increase in the elderly population is the most important change as per the public health statistics for 21st century [1]. It is being estimated that the number of people over the age of 65 will be doubled in the next 20 years [2]. Consequently, osteoarthritis (OA) and similar diseases that are more frequently encountered in advancing years become much more important from both medi...
متن کاملThe flexion gap in normal knees. An MRI study.
Varus and valgus joint laxity of the normal living knee in flexion was assessed using MRI. Twenty knees were flexed to 90 degrees and were imaged in neutral and under a varus-valgus stress in an open MRI system. The configuration of the tibiofemoral joint gap was studied in slices which crossed the epicondyles of the femur. When a varus stress was applied, the lateral joint gap opened by 6.7 +/...
