Effect of BMP-2 adherent to resorbable sutures on cartilage repair: A rat model of xyphoid process
(MDPI AG, 2020-08-26)Meniscal tears are often seen in orthopedic practice. The current strategy for meniscal repair has only had limited success with a relatively high incidence of re-operative rate. This study evaluates the therapeutic effects ... -
Effect of experimentally altered food abundance on fat reserves of wintering birds
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2003-08-15)1. Current models of adaptive fat regulation make opposing predictions concerning the effect of increased winter food supply on size of the avian winter fat reserve. To distinguish between models, food supply was varied ... -
The effect of intraluminal contact mediated guidance signals on axonal mismatch during peripheral nerve repair
(Elsevier, 2012-10)The current microsurgical gold standard for repairing long gap nerve injuries is the autograft. Autograft provides a protective environment for repair and a natural internal architecture, which is essential for regeneration. ... -
The effect of intraluminal contact mediated guidance signals on axonal mismatch during peripheral nerve repair
(Elsevier, 2012-06-24)The current microsurgical gold standard for repairing long gap nerve injuries is the autograft. Autograft provides a protective environment for repair and a natural internal architecture, which is essential for regeneration. ... -
Effect of maternal blood phenylalanine level on mouse maternal phenylketonuria offspring
(Academic Press, 2001-12)The genetic mouse model BTBR-Pah(enu2) was used to more thoroughly investigate the pathogenesis of maternal phenylketonuria (MPKU). More specifically, it was used to examine the effect of maternal blood phenylalanine (PHE) ... -
The effect of osteoprotegerin gene modification on wear debris-induced osteolysis in a murine model of knee prosthesis failure
(Elsevier, 2009-10)Using an in vivo adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated gene transfer technique, this study evaluated the therapeutic effects of an osteoprotegerin (OPG) transgene against orthopaedic wear debris-induced osteolysis in a ... -
Effect of porosity and pore size on microstructures and mechanical properties of poly-epsilon-caprolactone- hydroxyapatite composites
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2008-03)The influence of variant pore-size and porosity on the microstructure and the mechanical properties of poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) and hydroxyapatite (HA) composite were examined for an optimal scaffold in bone tissue ... -
Effect of Scutellarin inhibits collagen-induced arthritis through TLR4/NF-kappa B-mediated inflammation
(D.A. Spandidos, 2017-10)Scutellarin is the major effective constituent of the commonly used Chinese medicine Erigeron breviscapus. It has been applied in the clinic to treat various diseases, and is characterized by high content, a stable source, ... -
Effect of soil heterogeneity and endogenous processes on plant spatial structure
(John Wiley and Sons, 2016-07-22)Within communities, organisms potentially self-organize through endogenous processes that create nonrandom spatial structure as they interact with one another or modify the abiotic environment. In contrast, exogenous ... -
Effects of apical meristem mining on plant fitness, architecture, and flowering phenology in Cirsium altissimum (Asteraceae)
(American Journal of Botany, Inc., 2014-12)Premise of the study: Interactions that limit lifetime seed production have the potential to limit plant population sizes and drive adaptation through natural selection. Effects of insect herbivory to apical meristems ... -
The effects of carbon dioxide and temperature on microRNA expression in Arabidopsis development
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013-07)Elevated levels of CO2 and temperature can both affect plant growth and development, but the signalling pathways regulating these processes are still obscure. MicroRNAs function to silence gene expression, and environmental ... -
The effects of epidural application of allografted nucleus pulposus in rats on cytokine expression, limb withdrawal and nerve root discharge
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-12-14)This study investigated cytokine expression, behavioral and neurophysiologic changes in Lewis rats whose lumbar nerve roots were exposed to nucleus pulposus (NP). Allografted NP or fat was implanted over the left L5 nerve ... -
Effects of hypoxia on proliferation and apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells
(International Institute of Anticancer Research, 2021-09-30)Background: Hypoxia can happen during solid tumor growth including osteosarcoma. This study investigated the relationship of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on osteosarcoma ... -
Effects of neonatal administration of diethylstilbestrol in male hamsters: disruption of reproductive function in adults after apparently normal pubertal development
(Society for the Study of Reproduction, 1998-01)Prenatal and neonatal exposure to natural and synthetic estrogens induces developmental abnormalities in the male and female reproductive systems in several species. In hamsters, a single injection of diethylstilbestrol ... -
Effects of nitrogen and phosphorus limitation on lipid accumulation by Chlorella kessleri str. UTEX 263 grown in darkness
