BACKGROUND Clinical tendon injuries represent serious and unresolved issues of the case on how the injured tendons could be improved based on natural structure and mechanical strength. The aim of this studies the effect of aquatic activities and alogenic platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection in healing Achilles tendons of rats. METHODS Forty rats were randomly divided into 5 equal groups. Se...

In this study postmortem changes in the character of the stress-strain limit cycle were analyzed for cat extensor communis and extensor lateralis tendons maintained in a stream of Ringer’s solution and loaded with a short series of symmetrical triangular-wave stress cycles. The mechanical behavior of these tendons was compared with that of similar tendons which had been preserved by freezing. I...

background: sdft, ddft and suspensory ligament are the most important tendons and ligament of the palmar aspect of the metacarpus that contribute to stability mechanism. objectives: the purpose of this study was to describe the tendons and ligaments of the palmar surface of metacarpus in anatoly donkey and compare them with those in horse. methods: 14 healthy anatoly donkeys without lameness we...

The extensor digitorum muscle of the hand originates from the common extensor origin i.e., from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus and ends in four tendons, one for each digit except for the thumb. This paper reports a case, in which the tendon of the extensor digitorum ended as four tendons to the index, middle, ring and little fingers, but displayed variations in the number of tendons to e...

The use of radiofrequency ablation for thermomodulation of connective tissues has gained acceptance with some surgeons. It is now mainly used for shoulder instability, and two techniques are commonly applied - ablation in a uniform pattern (paintbrush) and ablation in a linearly dispersed fashion (grid). The use of these techniques for shrinkage of tendons or cruciate ligaments is not widely ac...

background clinical tendon injuries represent serious and unresolved issues of the case on how the injured tendons could be improved based on natural structure and mechanical strength. the aim of this studies the effect of aquatic activities and alogenic platelet rich plasma (prp) injection in healing achilles tendons of rats. methods forty rats were randomly divided into 5 equal groups. sevent...

One of the fundamental attributes a liquid chromatography column is its stability when exposed to acidic and basic mobile phases. However, there have been relatively few reports date on hydrophilic interaction (HILIC) columns. Here, we report results evaluations carried out for HILIC columns packed with ethylene-bridged hybrid or silica particles using accelerated conditions, employing 100% aqu...

BACKGROUND de Quervain's disease is a condition in which there is pain in the radial styloid process caused by stenosing tenosynovitis of the abductor pollicis longus (APL) or/and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) tendons in the first extensor compartment of the wrist. In this study we studied variations in the tendons of the EPB in the first extensor compartment and its site of insertion. METHO...

BACKGROUND Deer tendons are believed more effective than cattle tendons in tonifying kidney yang (shen yang) and enhancing bone and tendons. This study aims to differentiate the two types of tendons by a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) test and bone remodeling bioassays. METHODS Internal control primers to detect both types of tendons and specific primers for deer tendons were d...
