Skeletal muscle recovery after tenotomy and 7-day delayed muscle length restoration.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rabbit extensor digitorum longus (EDL) tendons were cut with the muscle active (active tenotomy, AT) or with the EDL at rest (passive tenotomy, PT). One, 7, and 21 days after tenotomy, contractile testing was performed. A second experiment was performed in which EDL tendons underwent PT and, after a 7-day delay, muscle-tendon units were restored to their original length. Maximum isometric tension dropped precipitously 1 day after either AT or PT to approximately 50% of normal and continued to decline by day 7. In contrast to PT, where peak tension (P(0)) decreased further by 21 days, after AT, P(0) partially recovered. Differences in muscle mass, cross-sectional area, fiber type, and sarcomere number did not explain the differential response. One day after length restoration of muscles, P(0) rapidly increased by approximately 40%. These observations have implications for understanding the outcome of muscle-tendon unit injury and surgical repair.

Differential expression of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) after tenotomy in rabbit skeletal muscle.
Tenotomy is a commonly encountered event in orthopaedic surgery. In 23 rabbit extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles, within 24 h after tenotomy, a marked drop in maximum force production occurred. This was not explainable based on architectural changes and histological examination using standard markers for muscle injury, i.e., haematoxylin and eosin morphology, developmental myosin heavy cha...
متن کاملDistinct protein degradation profiles are induced by different disuse models of skeletal muscle atrophy.
Skeletal muscle atrophy can be a consequence of many diseases, environmental insults, inactivity, age, and injury. Atrophy is characterized by active degradation, removal of contractile proteins, and a reduction in muscle fiber size. Animal models have been extensively used to identify pathways that lead to atrophic conditions. We used genome-wide expression profiling analyses and quantitative ...
متن کاملTension- and afferent input-associated responses of neuromuscular system of rats to hindlimb unloading and/or tenotomy.
Responses of electromyogram (EMG) in soleus muscle and both afferent and efferent neurograms at the fifth lumbar (L(5)) segmental level of spinal cord were investigated during acute and chronic unloading induced by hindlimb suspension and/or tenotomy in adult rats. The soleus EMG and afferent neurogram decreased 88 and 37%, respectively, relative to those at quadrupedal posture on the floor aft...
متن کاملEffect of 20-Hydroxyecdysone on Proteolytic Regulation in Skeletal Muscle Atrophy.
BACKGROUND/AIM 20-Hydroxyecdystone (20E) is an ecdysteroid hormone which controls molting and reproduction in arthropods. 20E also produces a variety of effects in vertebrates, including enhancing protein synthesis and skeletal muscle regeneration. The effect of 20E on disuse muscle atrophy has not been reported to date. This study examined the proteolytic regulation of 20E in tenotomized rat s...
متن کاملThe effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on recovery of skeletal muscle after neurotization surgery in rat
Objective(s): When the nerve is injured near its entrance to the muscle belly, we cannot perform conventional methods. One useful method in such a situation is neurotization surgery. In this study, Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) implanted into the paralyzed muscle after neurotization surgery. These cells can stimulate axon growth and motor endplate formation, also prevent muscle atr...
