Histological And Ultrastructural Differences Between Normal And Softened Articular Cartilage, Jue-Long Wang, Jyh-Seng Wang, Huann Chang, Rai-Chi Chan, Tao-Chang Hsu Mar 2000

Histological And Ultrastructural Differences Between Normal And Softened Articular Cartilage, Jue-Long Wang, Jyh-Seng Wang, Huann Chang, Rai-Chi Chan, Tao-Chang Hsu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Articular cartilage is a highly compressive load-bearing tissue by virtue of the functional interplay between a 3-dimensional (3-D) structure of collagen fibrils and the entrapped water-swollen proteoglycan macromolecules. Any loss of interconnectivity in the collagen network that might reduce the constraints on the swelling tendency of the proteoglycan domain will lead to swelling and low matrix stiffness. The 3-D fibrillar architecture of the cartilage matrix strongly influences its stiffness and therefore its ability to maintain a sufficient hydrated thickness under load.One of the pathologies of osteoarthritis is softening and swelling of the articular cartilage. Such degenerative process is thought to …

The Entrapment Syndrome Of The Intermediate Dorsal Cutaneous Branch Of The Superficial Peroneal Nerve：A Casereport, Hui-Wen Chen, Chein-Wei Chang, Ssu-Yuan Chen

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

The entrapment syndrome of the intermediate dorsal cutaneous branch of the superficial peroneal nerve is rarely reported. Here we reported a 17-year-old male patient, who suffered from left dorso-lateral foot numbness after prolonged local compression of left lateral foot. The electrophysiological studies of the left intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve, 10 days after onset of symptoms, revealed normal sensory nerve conduction velocity with significantly reduced amplitude of nerve action potential. These findings were compatible with the diagnosis of entrapment syndrome of left intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve. The patient’s symptoms disappeared spontaneously 8 weeks later.The purpose of this casereport is to state …

The Expression Of P53, C-Erbb-2 And C-Yes In Canine Skin Tumors, Anudep Rungsipipat, Susumu Tateyama, Yuichi Murakami, Kazuyuki Uchida

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The exact role of the p53 tumor suppressor gene, c-erbB-2 and c-yes oncogenes in the development of canine skin tumors is still debatable. To elucidate the involvement of these oncogenes in canine skin carcinogenesis, we examined the expression of the protein in 60 skin tumor samples using avidin-biotin complex immunohistochemistry, with polyclonal antibodies directed against each protein, on formalinfixed, paraffin-embedded sections. Positive nuclear staining for p53 protein was observed in 12/60 cases (20%) which included, 6/15(40%) squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and 4/8(50%) perianal gland tumors (PGT). Out of all the tumors examined, mixed membrane/ cytoplasmic staining of c-erbB-2 protein was …

Periprosthetic Humeral Shaft Fracture Caused By Stretching Exercises After Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty: A Casereport, Han-Jay Chiu, Yung-Ching Lin, Zong-Jing Wang

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Periprosthetic humeral fractures constituted only 2 % of all the complications during or after a shoulder hemiarthroplasty or total shoulder arthroplasty. Most of the fractures occurred intraoperatively. Postoperative fractures were caused by falls or traffic accidents. To our knowledge, they have never been caused by stretching exercises after a shoulder hemiarthroplasty. We present a 57-year-old female patient who had a periprosthetic humeral shaft spiral fracture caused by stretching exercises after a shoulder hemiarthroplasty because of proximal humeral fracture. The fracture was close reduced and fixed with a sugar-tong splint. Three months later, the fracture successfully healed with good alignment. Possible …
