Delayed Gadolinium-Enhanced MRI of Cartilage (dGEMRIC) Shows No Change in Cartilage Structural Composition after Viscosupplementation in Patients with Early-Stage Knee Osteoarthritis
INTRODUCTION Viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid (HA) of osteoarthritic (OA) knee joints has a well-established positive effect on clinical symptoms. This effect, however, is only temporary and the working mechanism of HA injections is not clear. It was suggested that HA might have disease modifying properties because of its beneficial effect on cartilage sulphated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG...
متن کاملA Chick Embryo in-Vitro Model of Knee Morphogenesis
Background: In this feasibility study, a mechanically loaded in-vitro tissue culture model of joint morphogenesis using the isolated lower extremity of the 8 day old chick embryo was developed to assess the effects of mechanical loading on joint morphogenesis. Methods: The developed in-vitro system allows controlled flexion and extension of the chick embryonic knee with a range of motion of ...
متن کاملIn vivo effects of unloading and compression on T2 and T1Gd (dGEMRIC) relaxation times of healthy knee articular cartilage at 3 Tesla
INTRODUCTION T2 mapping and T1 mapping after delayed gadolinium enhancement (dGEMRIC) are well-accepted biochemical MRI techniques for the quantitative evaluation of the 3D collagen network structure and the glycosaminoglycan concentration of articular cartilage, respectively (1). While these techniques have been used for in vitro assessment of biomechanical properties of cartilage in the major...
متن کاملContrast Enhanced Imaging of Cartilage Reflects Changes in Both Water and GAG Content
INTRODUCTION: Contrast enhanced imaging of articular cartilage is predicated on the use of anionic contrast agents that function as mobile ionic probes that partition themselves in inverse proportion to the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content of the cartilage matrix. GdDTPA (charge -2, 548 g/mol) has been used for delayed gadolinium enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of cartilage (dGEMRIC) and Iox...
متن کاملDelayed Gadolinium-Enhanced MRI of Cartilage (dGEMRIC) 12 Months after ACL Reconstruction
INTRODUCTION: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries place the knee at risk for early osteoarthritis (OA), and there is evidence to suggest that ACL reconstruction, the standard of care for ACL injuries, does not reduce this risk. An in vivo method that can detect early changes in articular cartilage integrity could provide insight into the mechanisms by which post-traumatic OA develops in t...
