Exacerbation of antigen-induced arthritis in inducible nitric oxide synthase-deficient mice. (1/146)

OBJECTIVE: Inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) produced by inducible NO synthase (iNOS) is suggested to be beneficial in experimental arthritis. Although NO is important for the integrity of the microcirculation, the effects of inhibition of iNOS on the synovial microcirculation are not currently known. This study investigated the synovial microcirculation and leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions in iNOS-deficient mice with antigen-induced arthritis (AIA) and compared these findings with disease severity. METHODS: Fourteen homozygous iNOS-/- and 14 iNOS+/+ mice were used. The severity of AIA was assessed by measuring knee joint swelling and by histologic scoring. The number of rolling and adherent leukocytes was quantitatively analyzed in synovial microvessels using intravital microscopy of intraarticular synovial tissue. Nitrite/nitrate concentrations were measured, and the expression of iNOS, E- and P-selectin, intercellular adhesion molecule 1, and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) was assessed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: In iNOS+/+ animals with AIA, the plasma concentration of nitrite/nitrate was increased 3-fold and iNOS expression was detected in cells of the joint. Swelling of the knee joint as well as leukocyte infiltration were enhanced in the iNOS-/- arthritic animals compared with iNOS+/+ mice with AIA. AIA-associated leukocyte-endothelial cell interaction in synovial postcapillary venules was more pronounced in iNOS-/-, compared with iNOS+/+, arthritic mice. A strong expression of P-selectin and VCAM-1 was observed in the iNOS-/- arthritic mice only. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that NO production by iNOS in vivo has antiinflammatory effects in experimental arthritis, by mediating a reduction in leukocyte adhesion and infiltration.  (+info)

Matrix metalloproteinases and aggrecanases cleave aggrecan in different zones of normal cartilage but colocalize in the development of osteoarthritic lesions in STR/ort mice. (2/146)

OBJECTIVE: To map aggrecan cleavage by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and aggrecanases in normal murine tibial articular cartilage (CBA strain) and in the development of spontaneous osteoarthritis (OA) in the STR/ort mouse and to assess the influence of sex hormone status on these conditions in gonadectomized STR/ort mice. METHODS: The distributions of neoepitopes of aggrecan generated by MMP (VDIPEN) and aggrecanase (NITEGE) cleavage were investigated by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: VDIPEN neoepitope was detected mainly in the pericellular matrix of deep-zone chondrocytes in normal tibial cartilage from STR/ort and CBA mice. In early OA, VDIPEN immunostaining also localized to the pericellular matrix of chondrocytes at the site of the lesion. With increasing severity of OA lesions, VDIPEN immunostaining was also detected in the interterritorial matrix, close to the site of the lesion. In contrast, NITEGE mapped most strongly to the pericellular matrix of upper-zone chondrocytes in normal tibial cartilage. As with VDIPEN, NITEGE was strongly expressed in the pericellular matrix at the site of early OA lesions. With advancing OA, NITEGE colocalized with VDIPEN in both the pericellular and interterritorial matrices of chondrocytes adjacent to OA lesions and in those of the deep zones. Hormone status did not appear to influence the development of OA or the distribution of aggrecan neoepitopes in STR/ort mice. CONCLUSION: MMP- and aggrecanase-generated neoepitopes map predominantly to different regions in normal murine tibial cartilage. However, both groups of enzymes generate increased amounts of neoepitopes in pericellular and interterritorial matrix adjacent to histopathologic lesions of OA. Aggrecan degradation and the development of OA appear to be independent of sex hormone status in this model.  (+info)

Processing of nociceptive mechanical and thermal information in central amygdala neurons with knee-joint input. (3/146)

Pain has a strong emotional dimension, and the amygdala plays a key role in emotionality. The processing of nociceptive mechanical and thermal information was studied in individual neurons of the central nucleus of the amygdala, the target of the spino-parabrachio-amygdaloid pain pathway and a major output nucleus of the amygdala. This study is the first to characterize nociceptive amygdala neurons with input from deep tissue, particularly the knee joint. In 46 anesthetized rats, extracellular single-unit recordings were made from 119 central amygdala neurons that were activated orthodromically by electrical stimulation in the lateral pontine parabrachial area and were tested for receptive fields in the knee joints. Responses to brief mechanical stimulation of joints, muscles, and skin and to cutaneous thermal stimuli were recorded. Receptive-field sizes and thresholds were mapped and stimulus-response functions constructed. Neurons in the central nucleus of the amygdala with excitatory input from the knee joint (n = 62) typically had large symmetrical receptive fields in both hindlimbs or in all four extremities and responded exclusively or preferentially to noxious mechanical stimulation of deep tissue (n = 58). Noxious mechanical stimulation of the skin excited 30 of these neurons; noxious heat activated 21 neurons. Stimulus-response data were best fitted by a sigmoid nonlinear regression model rather than by a monotonically increasing linear function. Another 15 neurons were inhibited by noxious mechanical stimulation of the knee joint and other deep tissue. Fifteen neurons had no receptive field in the knee but responded to noxious stimulation of other body areas; 27 nonresponsive neurons were not activated by natural somesthetic stimulation. Our data suggest that excitation is the predominant effect of brief painful stimulation of somatic tissue on the population of central amygdala neurons with knee joint input. Their large symmetrical receptive fields and sigmoid rather than monotonically increasing linear stimulus-response functions suggest a role of nociceptive central amygdala neurons in other than sensory-discriminative aspects of pain.  (+info)

Complex polysaccharide inclusions in skeletal muscle adjacent to sarcomas in two dogs. (4/146)

Inclusions of periodic acid-Schiff-positive, amylase resistant material were found within skeletal muscle fibers adjacent to an osteosarcoma in the proximal femur of an 8-year-old intact female Cocker Spaniel dog (dog No. 1) and adjacent to a synovial cell sarcoma of the stifle joint in a 7-year-old spayed female Bouvier des Flandres dog (dog No. 2). Inclusions were pale blue-gray with hematoxylin and eosin stain and formed irregular inclusions, replacing up to approximately 80% of the fiber diameter. Inclusions from dog No. 2 were of non-membrane-bound granular to filamentous material that occasionally formed discrete, elongate electron-dense masses. The features of these inclusions were similar to those of materials previously described as complex polysaccharide, polyglucosan bodies, amylopectin, and Lafora bodies. Evidence for a generalized metabolic disorder was not found in these two dogs, suggesting that storage of complex polysaccharide can occur as a relatively nonspecific response to metabolic alterations in skeletal muscle in a variety of conditions.  (+info)

Differential function of nitric oxide in murine antigen-induced arthritis. (5/146)

BACKGROUND: The aim of our study was to investigate the role of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)-derived nitric oxide (NO) production in different stages of murine antigen-induced arthritis (AiA). METHODS: Clinical, histological and microcirculatory parameters (measured by intravital fluorescence microscopy) were assessed in the knee joint during acute and chronic AiA after inhibition of iNOS with L-N(6)-(1-iminoethyl)lysine (L-NIL). Plasma concentrations of and were evaluated by the Griess reaction and the expression of iNOS, P- and E-selectin, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: In both stages of the disease, plasma concentrations of and were increased and iNOS was expressed. In the acute phase, swelling, leucocyte adhesion, leucocyte infiltration and expression of adhesion molecules were increased in arthritic animals treated with L-NIL in comparison with untreated arthritic animals. In the chronic phase, no change in the disease parameters could be detected after L-NIL treatment. CONCLUSION: Increased NO production induced by iNOS during the acute phase of AiA can be regarded as a protective response in the prevention of further leucocytic infiltration and joint destruction, whereas it seems to play a subordinate role in chronic AiA.  (+info)

One of two chondrocyte-expressed isoforms of cartilage intermediate-layer protein functions as an insulin-like growth factor 1 antagonist. (6/146)

OBJECTIVE: Aging and osteoarthritic (OA) cartilage commonly demonstrate enhanced expression of the large, transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta)-inducible glycoprotein cartilage intermediate-layer protein (CILP) as well as enhanced extracellular inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) that promotes the deposition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals. In normal chondrocytes, TGFbeta induces elevated chondrocyte extracellular PPi. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) normally blocks this response and reduces extracellular PPi. However, chondrocyte resistance to IGF-1 is observed in OA and aging. Because CILP was reported to chromatographically fractionate with PPi-generating nucleotide pyrophosphatase phosphodiesterase (NPP) activity, it has been broadly assumed that CILP itself has NPP activity. Our objective was to directly define CILP functions and their relationship to IGF-1 in chondrocytes. METHODS: Using primary cultures of articular chondrocytes from the knee, we defined the function of the previously described CILP (CILP-1) and of a recently described 50.6% identical protein that we designated the CILP-2 isoform. RESULTS: Both CILP isoforms were constitutively expressed by primary cultured articular chondrocytes, but only CILP-1 expression was detectable in cultured knee meniscal cartilage cells. Neither CILP isoform had intrinsic NPP activity. But CILP-1 blocked the ability of IGF-1 to decrease extracellular PPi, an activity specific for the CILP-1 N-terminal domain. The CILP-1 N-terminal domain also suppressed IGF-1-induced (but not TGFbeta-induced) proliferation and sulfated proteoglycan synthesis, and it inhibited ligand-induced IGF-1 receptor autophosphorylation. CONCLUSION: Two CILP isoforms are differentially expressed by chondrocytes. Neither CILP isoform exhibits PPi-generating NPP activity. But, increased expression of CILP-1, via N-terminal domain-mediated inhibitory effects of CILP-1 on chondrocyte IGF-1 responsiveness, could impair chondrocyte growth and matrix repair and indirectly promote PPi supersaturation in aging and OA cartilage.  (+info)

Hamstring graft technique for stabilization of canine cranial cruciate ligament deficient stifles. (7/146)

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the harvest and application of hamstring grafts for canine cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) reconstruction. STUDY DESIGN: Experimental study. ANIMALS: Four adult female hounds, weighing 26.3 +/- 1.6 kg (mean +/- SEM). METHODS-One stifle in each dog was randomly chosen for hamstring graft CrCL reconstruction after native CrCL transection. Arthroscopy was performed to evaluate graft integrity at 12 weeks. Gait analysis and stifle radiographs were performed preoperatively and up to 52 weeks after graft placement. Dogs were killed 12 (n = 2) or 52 weeks (n = 2) after CrCL reconstruction. Tissues were evaluated grossly and with light and confocal laser microscopy. RESULTS: Hamstring grafts were intact in all stifles at 12 weeks (n = 4) and 52 weeks (n = 2). Grossly, there was no osteoarthritis in stifles at 12 weeks and only chondrophytes along the trochlear ridges at 52 weeks. Minimal radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis developed in stifles with grafts during the study. Lameness in limbs with grafts resolved by 52 weeks. Graft tissue was highly vascular, ligamentized, and undergoing active remodeling at 12 weeks. Fifty-two weeks after graft placement, intraarticular graft tissue was well vascularized, mature, and encapsulated by synovium, and graft-bone interfaces were characterized by Sharpey's fiber insertions. There was no evidence of graft necrosis using confocal laser microscopy at either time point. CONCLUSIONS: The hamstring graft technique may be a viable method of canine CrCL reconstruction. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Hamstring grafts may be an alternative technique for canine CrCL reconstruction. Further study is needed before clinical application.  (+info)

Basic fibroblast growth factor mediates transduction of mechanical signals when articular cartilage is loaded. (8/146)

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) mediates signal transduction in articular cartilage in response to mechanical loading. METHODS: Articular cartilage from porcine metacarpophalangeal or knee joints was cyclically loaded (62.5-250N) for 2 minutes in the absence or presence of a bFGF receptor inhibitor, SB 402451 (250 nM). Activation of the extracellularly regulated kinase MAP kinase ERK was measured by Western blot analysis. Changes in protein synthesis were assessed by measuring the incorporation of (35)S-Met/Cys into proteins secreted by cartilage explants or by isolated chondrocytes. RESULTS: Rapid activation of the ERK MAP kinase occurred when articular cartilage was loaded. This was dependent upon release of the bFGF because it was restricted by the FGF receptor inhibitor. Loaded explants were shown to release bFGF. Loading or bFGF stimulation of explants induced synthesis and secretion of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP-1), which was inhibited by SB 402451. CONCLUSION: Cyclical loading of articular cartilage causes bFGF-dependent activation of ERK and synthesis of TIMP-1.  (+info)

Stifle joint - WikipediaStifle joint - Wikipedia
The stifle joint (often simply stifle) is a complex joint in the hind limbs of quadruped mammals such as the sheep, horse or dog. It is the equivalent of the human knee and is often the largest synovial joint in the animals body. The stifle joint joins three bones: the femur, patella, and tibia. The joint consists of three smaller ones: the femoropatellar joint, medial femorotibial joint, and lateral femorotibial joint. The stifle joint consists of the femorotibial articulation (femoral and tibial condyles), femoropatellar articulation (femoral trochlea and the patella), and the proximal tibiofibular articulation. The joint is stabilized by paired collateral ligaments which act to prevent abduction/adduction at the joint, as well as paired cruciate ligaments. The cranial cruciate ligament and the caudal cruciate ligament restrict cranial and caudal translation (respectively) of the tibia on the femur. The cranial cruciate also resists over-extension and inward rotation, and is the most commonly ...

Stifle lock in its more chronic forms may present as the horses leg extending out and backwards, with its fetlock resting on the ground. This is quite an obvious symptom, although horses can suffer from milder forms of this condition and not have the obvious extension. In some milder cases the horses stifle locks intermittently when the horse is moving, occurring with greater frequency if the horse has been at rest for some time. This may be observed when the horse in slowing down in gait, say from canter to trot. The hind leg will appear to collapse briefly, the stifle often unlocking itself with a loud click. In its most mild form stifle lock can be quite difficult to diagnose. It may appear as a slight shaking or vibration of the hind as the ligament unlocks itself, a mechanism which may be unnoticeable to many riders or onlookers..

Three surgical techniques, grouped as intra-articular techniques, extra-capsular techniques and fibular head transposition, were used for repair of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL)-deficient stifle in 113 dogs over a 4 year 4 month period. The clinical outcome of the techniques were compared using information provided by the owners and physical examination. Regardless of surgical technique, 85.7 to 91.0% of dogs showed clinical improvement after surgery. However, less than 50% of dogs became clinically sound on the operated leg and 9.0 to 14.3% of dogs remained persistently lame on the operated leg. No statistical association was found between result after surgery and age, body weight, sex, duration of injury before surgery, association with injury, tibial plateau angle, degree of radiographic osteoarthritis before surgery or the presence of concurrent medial meniscal injury. On physical examination, extra-capsular techniques appeared superior to the fibular head transposition in terms of ...

After a night spent in the comfort of their own beds at home, Lilly and Tara returned the following day for surgery. They were anaesthetised a few minutes apart and transferred to the imaging team for radiography.. X-rays confirmed evidence of right stifle joint effusion in Lilly and bilateral stifle joint effusion in Tara, as well as mild osteophytosis in both. These findings were consistent with a diagnosis of cranial cruciate ligament tears for both dogs. Lilly and Tara were both prepared for surgery and successively underwent the same procedure on their right stifles, with Tara operated less than an hour after Lilly.. Russell performed a mini-medial sub-patellar arthrotomy of the right stifle, which confirmed a 90% rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament for Lilly and a 50% tear for Tara. Meniscal tears were not identified in either dog. Both dogs then underwent standard tibial plateau-levelling osteotomy (TPLO). The osteotomies were stabilised with Synthes 3.5mm 6-hole TPLO plate and ...

Pathogenesis of Spontaneous Failure of Cranial Cruciate Ligament in the Dog - WSAVA2004 - VINPathogenesis of Spontaneous Failure of Cranial Cruciate Ligament in the Dog - WSAVA2004 - VIN
INTRODUCTION. Injuries of the Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CrCL) of the stifle are a common clinical finding in dogs of any breed, age and weight. CrCL injuries are consisting of partial tears and of complete rupture. Partial tears are associated to short term and self limiting acute lameness, evolving in chronic grade 1 lameness, usually underestimated and leading to complete rupture after a variable time. The cranial tibial thrust associated to the tibial slope and the weight bearing forces has been demonstrated to be responsible of the continuous stress on the damaged ligament leading to its complete rupture.. CrCL complete rupture is clinically associated to acute grade 3 lameness and can be a consequence of a chronic tear or it can be associated to a recent acute trauma, usually consisting of stifle hyperextension and internal rotation, the same condition leading to traumatic partial tears when of less amount.. When CrCL complete rupture is a evolution of partial tears the radiographic ...

Tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO) is increasingly being used for treatment of stable partial cruciate ligament rupture (CR) in dogs. Medical records for TPLO-treated dogs from 2003 to 2014 were reviewed and five cases were identified. Data retrieved included physical examination, diagnostic imaging and treatment. At long-term follow-up, the outcome was evaluated by clinical examination, stifle radiographs and force platform gait analysis. The time to follow-up examination was 892±673 days for six stable stifle TPLO treatments in five dogs. Stifles with partial CR remained cranial drawer and cranial tibial thrust negative at follow-up, with little progression of stifle osteoarthritis (OA). These observations suggest that TPLO is an effective clinical treatment for dogs with lameness because of partial CR. TPLO treatment reduces cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) strain, based on ex vivo model studies. Clinically, TPLO may act to block fibre tearing in the CrCL and associated progression of ...

Cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) deficiency is the leading cause of lameness of the canine stifle and has important consequences in terms of morbidity and cost associated with its management. In spite of this impact, development of preventive strategies remains in its infancy, largely because of gaps in our understanding of the complex and likely multifactorial origin of CCL deficiency. The purpose of this article is to provide a critical review of the literature related to the pathogenesis of CCL deficiency and place this evidence in the context of potential preventive measures. Trauma accounts for a minority of CCL ruptures in dogs, whereas progressive degeneration of the ligament has been attributed to a variety of factors that may be broadly classified as genetic, conformational, environmental, immune-mediated, and inflammatory. Genetic screening appears promising as a long-term option in selected breeds while immunomodulating therapies may be implemented in the nearer future to reduce the ...
Partial Injuries of Cranial Cruciate Ligament: Diagnosis and Treatment - WSAVA2004 - VINPartial Injuries of Cranial Cruciate Ligament: Diagnosis and Treatment - WSAVA2004 - VIN
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY. Cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) injuries occur both as partial and as complete rupture. The ethiology of CrCL injures is traumatic and non traumatic. CrCL injuries of traumatic origin are caused by forced hyperextension and or internal torsion of the stifle; high impact trauma causes the complete rupture of the ligament, while less intense trauma causes partial rupture. Partial rupture usually evolves with time in complete rupture, because of the joint inflammation, of weakening of the ligament and of altered biomechanics imbalance that enhances the cranial tibial thrust. CrCL of non-traumatic origin are caused by a chronic biomechanics imbalance of the forces acting on the CrCL as it is seen in large breed dogs, in overweight dogs, in bowlegged dogs and in dogs with straight rear leg conformation and open knee angle in standing and walking. In these dogs the cranial tibial thrust caused by the forces acting on the slope of the tibial plateau continuously stresses the CrCL and ...

Patellar Luxation (or "loose knees") is a common condition in dogs, especially small breeds. The dog knee is very similar in structure to the human knee, with the patella (kneecap) sliding in a groove in the femur (thigh bone) within the patellar tendon. Depending on the severity of the condition, when the patella luxates, or slides out of its groove, it may be sudden and painful, or it may become chronic and spend most of its time out on either side of the knee. In small-breed dogs, the patella most often slides medially, or towards the dogs midline, is usually seen in both knees, and can produce a bow-legged deformity of the rear legs. This medial sliding of the patella puts abnormal forces on the bones and muscles of the leg, causing progressive deterioration of the cartilage in the knee joint and eventual arthritis.

Objective â 1) To determine whether a graft of fascia lata and part of the patellar ligament, used in an extracapsular fashion from the tibial crest to the femorofabellar ligament, would eliminate abnormal cranial drawer motion in the cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) deficient stifle 2) To determine if two new tibial suture anchor points would enhance biomechanical function of the lateral fabellar-tibial suture (FTS). Study Design â Experimental. Animals â 28 canine cadaver hind limbs. Methods â Stifles were mounted in a jig that allowed tibial rotation during loading and were tested between loads of â 65 to 80 N in caudal and cranial drawer respectively. Stifles were tested with the CrCL intact followed by one of four stabilization techniques after CrCL transection: lateral graft technique (LGT) and three FTS with different tibial anchor points. Results â Differences in cranial drawer motion (displacement) and stiffness between the LGT and standard FTS were not significant in two data ...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of a one year programme of running training (up to 40 km/day for 15 weeks) on the spatial orientation pattern of collagen and glycosaminoglycans in articular cartilage in different parts of the knee (stifle) and shoulder joints of young beagle dogs. METHODS: Area specific measurements of the optical path difference (= retardation, gamma) and the cartilage zone thickness were performed using conventional procedures and a new computer based quantitative polarised light microscopy method. Transmission electron microscopy was used to determine the zonal volume density of collagen fibrils. The concentrations of collagen and hydroxypyridinium crosslinks were investigated biochemically. RESULTS: Running training decreased gamma by 24-34% (p , 0.05) in the superficial zone of the lateral femoral condyle articular cartilage and at the centre of the tibial condyles. Gamma of glycosaminoglycans decreased by 26% (p , 0.05) in the superficial zone of the lateral condyle ...
Development of a standardized surgical (osteo-)chondral defect model in the equine stifle.Development of a standardized surgical (osteo-)chondral defect model in the equine stifle.
Osteoarthritis is an important factor for lameness in horses. This degenerative joint disease is characterized by breakdown of articular cartilage. Therefore a significant amount of research on cartilage repair is currently undertaken (Harmel, 2004). Hyaline cartilage consists of chondrocytes, proteoglycans, collagen and water (Weeren van, 2010). Where proteoglycan can be ... read more replaced, collagen can be created, however the body is unable to recreate the arching configuration of collagen that anchors hyaline cartilage to the subchondral bone. This configuration is required for cartilage to perform as unique mechanical properties (Bramlage, 2009). Different osteochondral scaffolds are developed for cartilage defect repair. These different scaffolds aim to repair tissue that is superior to fibro-cartilage, which is formed after the natural cartilage repair process (Bramlage, 2009). These scaffolds for human use are currently being tested in animal models. The equine stifle model seems to ...
Will Currency Swap deal stifle Nigerian economy? | Naija247newsWill Currency Swap deal stifle Nigerian economy? | Naija247news
By Simon Akoje. Financial analysts have expressed concern that the currency swap deal recently signed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Peoples Bank of China (PBoC) will stifle the Nigerian economy.. The Currency Swap Deal was signed on April 27.. Mr Boniface Okesie, the president Progressive Shareholders Association of Nigeria, told NAN that the currency swap deal was unnecessary.. He said the deal would ensure that majority of the countrys foreign trade deals were channeled to the Chinese economy.. "This will lead to economic dependence despite that Nigeria is a sovereign nation. The policy will lead to the influx of Chinese goods into our country considering that we are contending with weak regulation," he said.. Similarly, Dr Austine Nwaeze, a lecturer in the department of Economics, Pan Atlantic University, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos told NAN that the deal was only good on its surface value.. He noted that in the long run, the initiative would allow the Chinese to compete with our local ...

Management of Osteoarthritis in Dogs - PetConnectionsManagement of Osteoarthritis in Dogs - PetConnections
Osteoarthritis is a chronic, incurable disease of joints that is characterized by joint instability, and loss of articular cartilage. Clinically, osteoarthritis causes varying degrees of pain and dysfunction. Osteoarthritis generally is characterized as primary or secondary. Primary osteoarthritis is old age wear and tear arthritis and while common in humans, is uncommon in dogs. Secondary arthritis is common in dogs and is a response to a joint injury of some type. The most common causes of secondary osteoarthritis in dogs include hip and elbow dysplasia, cranial cruciate ligament ruptures, osteochondritis dissicans of various joints, patellar luxation and joint trauma. All of these conditions cause instability or abnormal weight bearing of joints leading to loss of articular cartilage, joint instability and periarticular osteophyte (bone spur) formation.. Osteoarthritis begins with an insult to the joint that causes damage to the articular cartilage. Once the cartilage is damaged, the injured ...
Cranial Cruciate Ligament Disease in Dogs - Animal Medical Center - New York CityCranial Cruciate Ligament Disease in Dogs - Animal Medical Center - New York City
Because every patient is different, the AMC uses several different surgical techniques to repair cranial cruciate ligaments. Two common techniques are known by acronyms: TPLO, which stands for tibial plateau leveling osteotomy, and TTA, or tibial tuberosity advancement. Both of these techniques cut and replace a section of the tibia using special bone plates. The bone is replaced in a fashion to improve joint biomechanics. The postoperative x-ray shown here demonstrates the TPLO repair.. Another type of surgical repair involves using suture material as a stand in for the torn ligament. The extracapsular lateral fabellotibial suture technique and the Tightrope® procedure are examples of a suture method of repair. Board certified surgeons at AMC prefer the TPLO and the extracapsular lateral fabellotibial suture techniques. Postoperatively, rehabilitation therapy is often prescribed to improve the rate of recovery through AMCs Tina Santi Flaherty Rehabilitation & Fitness Service.. Dogs with an ...

Total derangement or dislocation of the stifle joint is a serious injury usually caused by severe direct or indirect trauma to the knee. The type of dislocation observed depends upon the direction and location of the inciting trauma. Luxation of the stifle joint is not a very common injury because of the many soft tissue structures that interact to provide stability for the joint. These structures include the cranial and caudal cruciate ligaments along with the medial and lateral collateral ligaments. In addition, some support may also be derived from the quadriceps muscle and patella tendon cranially and the oblique poplitcal muscle, hamstring muscles, and the gastroenemius muscle, caudally. In many cases, fractures may accompany dislocations. Other structures are also likely to be injured including the menisci, joint capsule, popliteal artery, and peroneal nerve. Vascular integrity and neurologic function must be carefully evaluated as these complications usually are the limiting factor in the ...

Cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) rupture is one of the most common orthopedic problems in dogs. A dogs stifle joint corresponds to the human knee joint, and the CCL is comparable to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in humans. Just as in humans, a partial or complete rupture of this ligament is debilitating and extremely painful, resulting in lameness and joint instability. Untreated, CCL rupture results in additional degenerative changes in the joint and, eventually, osteoarthritis. CCL rupture can occur in any dog. Risk factors include obesity, existing osteoarthritis or instability in the knee, and a lack of proper conditioning for the activity taking place, such as a normally sedentary dog that suddenly begins vigorous play..

we see at BluePearl is rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL), comparable to a humans anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).. One of our Pet 411 readers contacted me because his 12-year-old dog suffered damage to his CCL and hes wondering about the best treatment options. Since CCL surgery is typically handled by our skilled BluePearl surgeons, I reached out to my colleague Dr. Amanda Conkling, who is board-certified in veterinary surgery, to get her input on the best course of action for our reader. Heres what she had to say:. The CCL joins the thigh bone or femur to the tibia or shin bone at the knee joint. This ligament plays an important role in stabilizing the knee joint and giving it flexibility. In our canine friends, CCL rupture is actually a very complex degenerative process. CCL rupture can affect virtually any breed of dog, but among the most susceptible are Labrador retrievers, Newfoundlands, golden retrievers, German shepherds and Rottweilers. There are also certain factors ...

Stresses Associated with Subchondral Bone Cysts - A Finite Element Analysis on an Extended Stifle JointStresses Associated with Subchondral Bone Cysts - A Finite Element Analysis on an Extended Stifle Joint
Subchondral cystic lesions (SCL), sometimes referred to as subchondral bone cysts (SBC) or subchondral lucencies, occur in the medial femoral condyle (MFC) of horses and can cause lameness. They are more common in horses ≤ 2 years of age, but can occur in older horses. The causes of SCL are not well understood, however, trauma and osteochondrosis are most commonly implicated. Radiographs of young horses that develop SCLs indicate a progression from sclerosis to MFC flattening, and then a defect (SCL) that enlarges. Treatments are directed at reducing local inflammation and promoting bone and cartilage healing, with approximately 50-75% of horses becoming sound enough for work. However, bone healing after surgery is inconsistent, occurring in ,20% of patients. Recently, a treatment of MFC SCL using a lag screw was reported to improve the rate of lameness resolution and is the first study to report significant and consistent bone healing. This suggests a biomechanical approach can improve the ...
Cruciate Ligament Rupture in CatsCruciate Ligament Rupture in Cats
The knee joint of the cat is one of the weakest in its body. It is relatively unstable because there are no interlocking bones in the knee joint. Instead, it is held together by several ligaments, including the cruciate ligaments, which allow it to move back and forth like a hinge, but restrict its front-to-back and side-to-side motion.. When severe twisting of the knee joint occurs; the anterior or cranial cruciate ligament most commonly tears or breaks. When the cranial cruciate ligament is torn, instability occurs that allows the bones to move in an abnormal fashion in relation to each other. It is difficult for the cat to bear weight on the leg without it collapsing. This condition is painful and, if untreated, can lead to permanent joint complications.. ...
Medial Patellar Luxation (MPL) - Dallas Veterinary Surgical Center (DVSC)Medial Patellar Luxation (MPL) - Dallas Veterinary Surgical Center (DVSC)
Not all MPLs are problematic. Many small dogs are diagnosed with MPL that do not result in clinical problems. The classic breeds are Yorkshire terriers, Chihuahua, and Toy Poodles, but any small breed dog should be examined for this condition. Large breed dogs can also develop this condition, most notably Labrador Retrievers.. In some instances dogs will limp as a result of patella luxation. When lameness is noted surgical correction is indicated. Medical management with anti-inflammatories can be tried initially, but is generally ineffective because the disease will only continue to progress as mechanical alignment worsens. Over time arthritis can result which could have been prevented with early surgical intervention. For these reasons surgery is indicated for most Grade II dogs with lameness, and any dogs diagnosed with Grade III and Grade IV MPL.. MPL can cause a classic "skipping lameness" where the patella pops out causing the dog to lift the affected pelvic limb and skip on 3 legs. Once ...

DIAGNOSTIC MODALITIES of STIFLE and SHOULDER JOINT DERANGEMENTSDIAGNOSTIC MODALITIES of STIFLE and SHOULDER JOINT DERANGEMENTS
Chronic MCL tears may be detected by calcification adjacent to the medial femoral condyle (8). Arthrography is not of significant importance in detecting MCL tears. Arthrographic demonstration of leakage of dye in an assesment of degree of laxity is not of significant value (5), but in complete MCL tears, contrast leakage will be presented in the vicinity of the ligament (6, 8, 13). The arthrographic diagnosis of MCL tears must be performed within 24-36 hours, by time the tears will not seal off (5). Since lateral collateral ligament (LCL) is an extracapsular structure, arthrographic evaluation of this anatomic structure can not be done (5, 8, 13). In a study reported by Bonomo, duble- contrast arthrography was found to be accurate in the diagnosis of the type of meniscal tears (3). In OCD lesions, favorable results have been obtained with double contrast arthrography in children (7), and adults (13). This is inconsistent with achievement of good results in articular cartilage diagnosis (6). ...

How does one perform an MRI on an otter? It involves much planning, phone calls, emails, and preparation. When the big day arrived, her keeper brought Sweet Otter to the Zoos Jennings Center for Zoological Medicine in a crate, which was then loaded into one of our vehicles. A veterinarian, vet technician, and hospital keeper then drove our special patient to an off-site animal hospital. If youve ever had an MRI, you know that you DONT MOVE while you are slid into a very small tube and inundated with noisy, sporadic pops and clicks. That is almost impossible for anyone, especially an otter! Hence, Sweet Otter was anesthetized, and because she was such a perfectly placid patient, the MRI was able to pick up her problem almost immediately, and surgery was performed.. What was discovered was a 90 percent tear of her right cranial cruciate ligament. A tibial plateau leveling osteotomy was performed to stabilize the stifle, or knee, joint with a bone plate and screws, which were added to eliminate ...

Sarah Damian of the Government Accountability Project, a whistleblower advocacy organization, observes over at the Food Integrity Campaigns blog that Monsanto has been throwing lobbying dollars behind Iowas effort to draw a steel curtain around food production. And not without reason: ... Monsanto has more facilities in Iowa than in any other state in the country , with more than 25 offices. The company is heavily invested in the bills outcome because crop operations are also covered, which would apply to Monsantos seed ... Full article: http://www.grist.org/food ...

TEA stifles public review of textbooks - San Antonio Express-NewsTEA stifles public review of textbooks - San Antonio Express-News
Parents have a right, even an obligation, to participate in their childrens education, but in Texas, the Texas Education Agency and major textbook publishers are blocking parents from having a voice in what the students are taught. By June 17, only 13 of the 62 social studies textbooks were made available to the public. [...] by November, the state will have had six months to consider these textbooks. According to the SBOE, the textbooks that cannot be accessed online are available at local Educational Service Centers, or ESCs. There is no way to responsibly evaluate a textbook from the confines of a distant ESC. [...] at least one major publisher, Pearson, has not made textbooks available at all, but has instead provided only disordered excerpts that correlate to the state standards.
Giants blow lead again, win in 9th / 3-run uprising stifles Arizona - SFGateGiants blow lead again, win in 9th / 3-run uprising stifles Arizona - SFGate
[...] Barry Bonds is sore enough that he missed his second consecutive start. [...] they have the worst bullpen in the majors, with a 7.55 ERA even before a catastrophic collapse Thursday night. The Giants scored 26 runs and allowed 33 in the four games, and may find it difficult to find some sanity in their next series since theyre heading to Denvers Coors Field. With second base open, Arizona manager Bob Melvin had reliever Brandon Medders walk Bonds intentionally to load the bases. In a five-run first, Durham hit a three-run triple, his first extra-base hit of the season. The positive spin out of all of this, that we have to take out of it, is were winning the one-run games, the close games, in the ninth inning, Sweeney said. Steve Kline relieved Fassero and got the final out of the seventh, but a leadoff walk to Tracy in the eighth led to a third run on Luis Gonzalezs RBI single. After a two-out walk, Alou had Worrell face Andy Green, who extended the rally with a bunt single.

US Fisheries at Grave Risk if Government Stifles Science Data | CFOOD - Science of Fisheries SustainabilityUS Fisheries at Grave Risk if Government Stifles Science Data | CFOOD - Science of Fisheries Sustainability
Those who know me have no doubt that my personal political opinions reflect more Massachusetts and California than Texas and Louisiana. But in an industry that has a diverse range of political views, there has always been common ground when it comes to the business of fish.. We all support profitable and healthy fish companies; we support use of our seafood resources for food and encourage maximum sustainable production, and we support business accountability, accurate labeling, sustainability, and compliance with labor laws.. And most importantly, to get these things we support sound fisheries science. The genius of the fishery management system in place since the passage of the original 200 mile limit and the Magnuson Act in 1976 has been the commitment to make fisheries decisions based on sound science.. The regional management councils were set up to allow conflict: various fisheries stakeholders will not agree about gear, allocation, seasons, quota shares, observers or many other features ...
Rockets stifle Oldham County, win 53-31 | SentinelNews.comRockets stifle Oldham County, win 53-31 | SentinelNews.com
On a night when the 1978 State Championship team was recognized, the Rockets had that old look. Not only was the Shelby County boys basketball team wearing throwback uniforms similar to those of the 78 squad, but they also had that look they had early in the season when they opened the year on a 10-game winning streak. The Rockets jumped out quickly and never looked back in a convincing 53-31 win over rival Oldham County Friday. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for the Rockets (14-6), but it didnt catch head coach Mike Clark by surprise.

The son of the NY Times bureau chief is in the Israeli army;"pundit" Jeffrey Goldberg served in the IDF; Wolf Blitzer worked for AIPAC. Because the U.S. gives Israel over $8 million/day - more than to any other nation - we feel it is essential that we be fully informed on this region.

The label anti-Semitic is a tactic used to stifle debate | The FulcrumThe label 'anti-Semitic' is a tactic used to stifle debate | The Fulcrum
What does one make of an academic who attempts to label all criticism of Israeli policy "anti-Semitic"? This is the favoured tactic of Dr. Henry Srebrnik, a political science professor at the University of Prince Edward Island. In a recent article submitted to the Prince Arthur Herald, Professor Srebrnik adopts a strategy more often employed by left-wing university activists obsessed with political correctness.. Dr. Srebrnik insists that if Jewish students at York University find overt criticism of Israel offensive then the speech or expression must be censored in order to provide a "safe space." He is particularly upset over an acrylic painting on display over one of the entrance foyers to the Student Centre. The mural titled "Palestinian Roots" depicts Israeli aggression and occupation from a Palestinian viewpoint, which professor Srebrnik claims is an anti-Semitic statement, not a critique of the Israeli government. As his op-ed suggests, the painting demonstrates a "callous disregard for the ...

Among the demands of Egyptian protesters in Cairos Tahrir Square, one of the most central is constitutional reform that will prevent a repeat of the concentration of power achieved under President Hosni Mubarak. Vice President Omar Suleiman announced Feb. 8 that a committee had been formed to discuss constitutional reforms necessary for free and fair elections, but many protesters are wary that the reforms will be only superficial.Below are a few of the constitutional provisions that have served to limit Egypts opposition and cement the governments power.

One of the most common injuries of the stifle is rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL). Surgery can repair the ligament, but it does not necessarily help restore other damaged joint tissues. Fortunately, the emerging field of regenerative medicine gives hope that it might be possible to generate such replacement tissues in the lab.

An 11-year-old, 41-kg female spayed mixed-breed dog was examined for a chronic left hind limb lameness, with swelling of the proximal left tibia. A tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) using an angle stable implant had been performed 8 years earlier at the site. Initial radiography showed mild degenerative signs in the stifle joint and osteolytic lesions in the proximal tibial metaphysis. Three weeks later, the clinical and radiographic changes had worsened. A transition from a moth-eaten pattern to permeative bone lysis was radiographically evident, along with an extensive increase of soft tissue swelling. Ultrasonographically-guided fine needle aspiration of the epiperiosteal tissue and lymph nodes, CT with pre-and post-contrast scans, and an incisional biopsy were performed. The radiographic and CT findings were consistent with an aggressive and monostotic bone lesion at the site of previous TPLO. The cytology and histology confirmed the diagnosis of an osteosarcoma (OSA) with a chondroid ...

Use of novel tissue engineering approaches to heal an injured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) requires suture repair and/or augmentation to provide joint stability. We evaluated the effects of the location of suture augmentation at the femur and tibia in terms of joint stability using a goat model. Eight goat stifle joints were tested with augmentation sutures placed in two femoral tunnel locations: (1) anterior to, or (2) through the ACL footprint, and two tibial tunnel locations: (1) medial to, or (2) medial and lateral to the footprint. Using a robotic/universal force-moment sensor testing system, the anterior tibial translation (ATT) and the corresponding in situ force carried by the sutures were obtained at 30 degrees , 60 degrees , and 90 degrees of flexion in response to external loads. No significant differences were found between augmentation groups due to tunnel location in terms of ATT or the in situ forces carried by the sutures at all flexion angles tested. Similar results were ...

Dog Medially Luxating Patella Surgery - Surgical Repair Of Medially Luxating Patella Dogs - Grant Animal ClinicDog Medially Luxating Patella Surgery - Surgical Repair Of Medially Luxating Patella Dogs - Grant Animal Clinic
Medially luxating patella is a condition where the patella (knee cap) pops in and out of place in response to extension, flexion, or weight bearing of the knee joint. The disease is congenital in origin, resulting from inherited shallow patellar grooves (the groove in which the patella normally sits in), an inherited abnormally medially located tibial attachment point for the patellar tendon or both. The luxations almost always occur in the medial direction (toward the center of the body). For example, in the left limb, the tendency is for the patella to luxate to the right. The opposite is true for the right limb. The majority of luxating patella cases are bilateral.. Luxations cause inflammation and pain in the knee joint. Also, because the chief purpose of the patella is to redistribute tendon forces to best handle weight bearing and stress, patellar luxations tend to throw off the physics of the entire leg, causing excessive wear on the hips and ankles. This predisposes to degenerative joint ...

Do you have a toy breed of dog that is running on three legs? Is the leg that is being held up a rear one? Then you are possibly dealing with Medial Patellar Luxation (MPL), the most common congenital abnormality seen in dogs. In one study ,7% of puppies were affected. MPL is most frequently seen in small breeds of dogs, however the frequency in larger breeds is increasing. Small breeds commonly affected include miniature poodles, Yorkshire terriers, Cairn terriers, toy poodles, Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Pekingese, Boston terriers, and the Maltese.. ...

Common Medical Issues in the Pomeranian Dog. Pomeranian dogs have been popular ever since Queen Victoria had a favored one over 100 years ago. They originated from the northern Germany/Poland area, which explains their thick hair coat, which comes in a variety of colors, though reddish-brown is the most common.. Young Pomeranians should be checked for patellar luxation (slipping of the kneecap out of position). The mild form of this orthopedic disease can be safely monitored, but with more severe disease associated with limping surgical correction is often needed. Pomeranians are one of the breeds that can be born with a portosystemic shunt, where the blood from the intestines isnt filtered properly by the liver. These puppies usually exhibit vomiting and diarrhea, and they may act "spacey" or demented after eating a meal or they may even have seizures. A specific blood test, called a bile acid stimulation test, will be high in these dogs. Surgery is usually recommended to help correct the ...
