Human articular cartilage and fibrocartilage: a study with high-angle x-ray diffraction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
High-angle x-ray diffraction was applied to the study of four meniscal fibrocartilages and 11 articular cartilages from patients suffering from various articular disorders. In eight samples microcrystals were seen, apatite most frequently, CaHPO4 in two instances, calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) in one. These results confirm the association of various crystals in a single joint, and favour their heterogenous partition on collagen fibres.

Diffraction Enhanced X-ray Imaging of the Articular Cartilage of Experimental Animals
Introduction: The clinical techniques utilized in the assessment of the health status of articular cartilage of synovial joints include x-ray radiography, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound (1). Conventional radiography provides the highest spatial resolution (2) and is the most commonly used technique. However, because cartilage is not visible with standard x-rays, the radiographic eval...
متن کاملThe Long-Term Clinical Outcomes Following Autogenous Bone Grafting for Large-Volume Defects of the Knee
Objective: We report the long-term clinical outcomes of patients who underwent autogenous bone grafting of large-volume osteochondral defects of the knee due to osteochondritis dessicans (OCD) and osteonecrosis (ON). This is the companion report to one previous published on the biological response. We hypothesized that these grafts would integrate with host bone and the articular surface would ...

OBJECTIVE The matricellular protein NOV/CCN3, is implicated in osteoarthritis (OA) and targeted mutation of NOV in mice (Nov(del3)) leads to joint abnormalities. This investigation tested whether NOV is required for joint homeostasis and if its disruption causes joint degeneration. METHOD NOV expression in the adult mouse joint was characterized by immunohistochemistry. A detailed comparison ...
متن کاملCD147 (Extracellular Matrix Metalloproteinase Inducer-EMMPRIN) Expression by Human Articular Chondrocytes
Background: Integrins are a family of transmembrane proteins that allow communication between the extracellular matrix and the interior of cells. Chondrocytes, cells of articular cartilage, express integrins and these molecules appear to have a variety of roles including mechanotransduction. Integrins are known to associate with a number of accessory molecules such as CD147 that may act to regu...
