Study on the damage mechanism of articular cartilage based on the fluid-solid coupled particle model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Articular cartilage damage is the primary cause of osteoarthritis. Very little literature work focuses on the microstructural damage mechanism of articular cartilage. In this article, a new numerical method that characterizes fluid coupling in particle model is proposed to study the damage mechanism of articular cartilage. Numerical results show that the damage mechanism of articular cartilage is related to the microstructure of collagen. The damage mechanism of superficial articular cartilage is tangential damage. On the other hand, horizontal separation is the damage mechanism of deep articular cartilage. The new numerical method shows the capability to effectively reveal the damage mechanism of superficial articular cartilage.

Experimental Study on Protective Role of NSAID on Articular Cartilage Destruction in Septic Arthritis
Background: Surgical drainage and antibiotic therapy are the cornerstones of treatment protocols in septic arthritis; however, in some circumstances, the diagnosis and initiation of treatment may be retarded by slow disease progression or the time when the patient’s condition precludes early surgery. Therefore, it is beneficial to find ways to reduce the amount of articular injury. This study a...

This study is concerned with the prediction of particles’ velocity in a dilute turbulent gas-solidboundary layer flow using a fully Eulerian two-fluid model. The closures required for equationsdescribing the particulate phase are derived from the kinetic theory of granular flows. Gas phaseturbulence is modeled by one-equation model and solid phase turbulence by MLH theory. Resultsof one-way and...

Introduction The aim of the research was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks’ exercise training and ozone therapy on articular cartilage tissue mRNA Beclin-1, AMPK, and mTOR gene expression in rat’s model of osteoarthritis (OA). Materials and Methods In this experimental study, 40 adult male rats 210±10 gr were randomly divided into 5 groups: 1) control (CN), 2) OA, 3) OA + ozone, 4) OA + ex...
متن کاملA novel study of temperature effects on the viscoelastic behavior of articular cartilage
This paper presents a new approach to study the effects of temperature on the poroelastic and viscoelastic behavior of articular cartilage. Biphasic solid-fluid mixture theory is applied to study the poro-mechancial behavior of articular cartilage in a fully saturated state. The balance of linear momentum, mass, and energy are considered to describe deformation of the solid skeleton, pore fluid...
متن کاملConditioned medium derived from mesenchymal Stem cells regenerates’ defected articular cartilage
Background & Aims: One of cell- based technical issues associated with cartilage repair assay is delivering cells to the site of the parts where damage is created. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with their chondrogenic potential are ideal candidates for cartilage regeneration. High expression of cartilage hypertrophy markers by MSCs would result in apoptosis and ossification. This investigation ...
