  2. 1. Intra-articular Glucocorticoid Treatment : Efficacy and Side Effects

    Author : Tomas Weitoft; Lars Rönnblom; Ronald vanVollenhoven; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; arthritis; intra-articular glucocorticoid; triamcinolone hexacetonide; arthrocentesis; bone metabolism; cartilage; cortisol; ACTH; joint infection; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin;

    Abstract : Intra-articular glucocorticoid injection therapy is frequently used to relieve symptoms of arthritis, but there is considerable variation in injection routines among physicians. One issue of debate concerns the importance of synovial fluid aspiration during the injection procedure. READ MORE

  4. 2. Matrix resorption in endochondral bone growth : ultrastructural studies, with special attention to the chondroclast

    Author : Joakim Nordahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : chondroclast; osteoclast; cartilage resorption; TRAP; cathepsin K; fibronectin; bone sialoprotein; osteopontin;

    Abstract : A substantial amount of the calcified cartilage in the distal parts of the epiphyseal plate is resorbed during endochondral growth of long bones. However, the mechanisms involved in this process are still largely unknown. On the other hand, bone-resorption in the lower metaphysis has been thoroughly investigated. READ MORE

  5. 3. Temporomandibular joint disk displacement and subsequent adverse mandibular growth : a radiographic, histologic and biomolecular experimental study

    Author : Fredrik Bryndahl; Annika Isberg; Lars Eriksson; Lars G Hollender; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adolescence; adverse growth; condylar cartilage; subchondral bone; TMJ; Radiology; Radiologi;

    Abstract : The mandibular condyles represent important growth sites within the facial skeleton. Condylar growth is not a pacemaker of mandibular development, but it provides regional adaptive growth that is of considerable clinical significance, as the condyle’s upward and backward growth movement regulates the anteriorly and inferiorly directed displacement of the mandible as a whole.

  6. 4. Development of Novel Therapies, Models, and Biomarkers for Osteoclast-Related Diseases

    Author : Henrik Löfvall; Avdelningen för molekylärmedicin och genterapi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Osteopetros; Biomarkör; Cellodling; Extracellulär matrix ECM ; Osteoklast; Osteoclast; Biomarker; Cell culture; Osteopetrosis; Gene Therapy; Extracellular matrix ECM ;

    Abstract : Osteoclasts are derived from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and form upon stimulation of osteoclast precursors by macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and receptor activator of nuclear factor κΒ ligand (RANKL). Osteoclasts resorb bone by secreting hydrochloric acid, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and cathepsin K. READ MORE

  7. 5. The fixation of joint prostheses. Aspects on mechanics and biology

    Author : Ulrik Hansson; Lund Ortopedi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; radiostereometry; histology; interface; micromotion; knee; joint replacement;

    Abstract : Abstract: In the interface, between implant and bone or between the cement and bone, there will develop some amount of fibrous tissue. The synovial fluid, the synovium, the cartilage and the subchondral bone from the non-replaced knee compartment that had been exposed to wear particles were studied by histological analyses. READ MORE
