Knee Cartilage Thickness, T1ρ and T2 Relaxation Time Are Related to Articular Cartilage Loading in Healthy Adults
Cartilage is responsive to the loading imposed during cyclic routine activities. However, the local relation between cartilage in terms of thickness distribution and biochemical composition and the local contact pressure during walking has not been established. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relation between cartilage thickness, proteoglycan and collagen concentration in the kn...
متن کاملCartilage Nominal Strain Correlates with Gag Content and Shear Modulus in Meniscectomized Joints
* **Song, Y, **Greve, J, **Gold, GE, * **Carter, DR, * **Giori, NJ * Bone and Joint Center, VA Palo Alto Health Care System, Palo Alto, CA [email protected] INTRODUCTION Meniscectomy leads to osteoarthritis (OA) in both human and animal knee joints.

متن کاملTopographical variation in glycosaminoglycan content in human articular cartilage.
The weight-bearing status of articular cartilage has been shown to affect its biochemical composition. We have investigated the topographical variation of sulphated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) relative to the DNA content of the chondrocyte in human distal femoral articular cartilage. Paired specimens of distal femoral articular cartilage, from weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing regions, were obt...
متن کاملEffect of Degenerative Changes of Articular Cartilage on Knee Joint Stresses – Functional Imaging by Combining Clinical MRI and Finite Element Modeling
INTRODUCTION: Degenerative changes in the structure and composition of articular cartilage in osteoarthritis, such as collagen fibrillation, proteoglycan depletion and increased water fraction, alter the mechanical behavior of cartilage [1, 2]. It has been shown that the collagen fibrils primarily modulate cartilage mechanical response under dynamic and impact loading [3]. This emphasizes the r...
متن کاملDevelopment of Dedicated dGEMRIC Protocol for Biochemical Imaging of the Temporomandibular Joint Disc at 3 Tesla: A Feasibility Study
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most complex joints in the human body. TMJ degenerative changes are studied by means of MRI morphological techniques. So far, to our best knowledge, there was no attempt to show the biochemical ultrastructure of cartilage in the TMJ in humans in-vivo. Our feasibility study show that the tracer accumulation occurs within 30 minutes and an inversion...
