AU - Howell, David S.. AU - Cheung, Herman S.. PY - 1999. Y1 - 1999. N2 - To study the effect of immobilization, the compressive and shear properties of articular cartilage were quantified at sites corresponding to those of elevated MMP staining on the tibial plateau of mongrel dogs. Cartilage samples were tested in compression and torsion on a displacement-controlled rheometer. The samples were weighed after testing and again after lyophilization to determine water content as the percentage of tissue wet weight. The results support the hypothesis that knee joint immobilization will produce deleterious changes in cartilage function at the tibial plateau..

Stressful stimuli induced by immobilization are perceived as acute stress in rats. This acute stress activates corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) neurons in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), resulting in stimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The ventral ascending noradrenergic bundles (V-NAB) from the brainstem innervate the PVN. To investigate the relationship between the response of the HPA axis and the V-NAB, we examined changes in plasma corticosterone, the final output of the HPA axis, and extracellular noradrenaline (NA) in the PVN following immobilization stress in rats that received bilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesions of the V-NAB. 6-OHDA microinjection into the V-NAB reduced the magnitude of the responses of plasma corticosterone and extracellular NA in the PVN following immobilization stress. Our results suggest that V-NAB innervation of the PVN is involved in immobilization stress-induced activation of the HPA axis.

LRB 0477/1, Motor Vehicle Immobilization Devices. Current law defines immobilization device as a device or mechanism that immobilizes a motor vehicle by locking around a wheel (AKA the Boot), thereby making the motor vehicle inoperable. This bill creates a broad definition of immobilization device to allow communities to use other methods beside the Boot to immobilize a vehicle. The bill also authorizes a municipality to enter into a contract with a person that authorizes the person to immobilize motor vehicles. By Sen. Rob Cowles (R-Green Bay) and Rep. John spiros (R-Marshfield). The League supports this bill. ...

N2 - After an immobilization period of 3 weeks, the effects of free remobilization (8 weeks) as well as low- and high-intensity treadmill running on the bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD) of the hindlimbs of Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 70) were studied using a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometric scanner. In the low-intensity running program, the rats were allowed to move freely in the cage for 1 week, after which they started to run on a treadmill twice a day for 7 weeks. The speed of the treadmill was 20 cm/s, with an uphill inclination of 10°. The running time was gradually increased from 20 minutes per session to 45 minutes per session. In the high- intensity ...

CONCLUSION: HIDs are important to provide stability and support during neurosurgical procedures.Modifications in the material or the shape of the pins can significantly change the pressure exerted.Most of these complications are preventable if certain precautionary measures are taken especially in certain high-risk patients, and the overall benefits of HIDs continue to outweigh the risks. There is a need for consensus on guidelines for the safe ...

Figure 7. Myrip promotes SG attachment to the plasma membrane. A, B, Example of a single SG trajectory and detection of immobilization periods. The x-y displacement of a single SG is shown in A. The initial point of the trajectory is depicted by a red dot. The Dxy values were computed along the trajectory using a rolling analysis window and plotted against time in B. Below a threshold value Dmin = 5 × 10−4 μm2 · s−1 (red line), SGs were considered immobile. In this example, the SG displayed a constrained behavior during two subtrajectories. Period 2 was categorized as an immobilization period. C, The cumulative distribution of the number of immobilization events identified in control trajectories (filled circles, 32 cells) is plotted as a function of the minimum duration of immobilization. The best fit was obtained with the sum of two exponentials, indicating the existence of two different processes (black line, slow component; blue line, fast component). A similar distribution is found ...

The appointment is always confirmed with the client prior to the device application to ensure all information is correct and verified and that the client is aware of the immobilization.. While the appointment is set, we collect an installation fee and one month of servicing fees. The client will be made aware of the duration of immobilization which is usually defined by the court. If it is not defined by the court, the client will have to coordinate an end date with the court and the court will notify us of an end of service date.. When the immobilization device can be removed, we will setup a removal appointment and collect a final removal fee from the client. There is no other obligation for the client after removal is completed.. ...

Because of their ability to modulate the Gamma Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) a receptor complex, the principal aim of the current work is to assess two essential heavy metals: Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) by atomic absorption in different brain areas of stressed rats. To do so, we investigated the effect of acute immobilization stress (single 1-hour session) on the distribution and the densities of GABAA receptors as well as the concentrations of Zn and Fe in several rat brain regions of the stressed rats. Animals were randomly assigned to either control or stress conditions and changes in specific binding of the GABAA receptor as labelled with T-Butylbicyclophosphonothionate (TBPS) (ligand useful for GABAA receptor) were assessed by in vitro quantitative autoradiography with the aid of a computer-assisted image analysis system whereas the assessment of Fe and Zn concentrations was done by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Exposure to 1h immobilization stress led to a significant increase in [35S]-TBPS binding

OBJECTIVE: Mechanical joint loading is critical for the development of osteoarthritis (OA). Although once regarded as a disease of cartilage attrition, OA is now known to be controlled by the expression and activity of key proteases, such as ADAMTS-5, that drive matrix degradation. This study was undertaken to investigate the link between protease expression and mechanical joint loading in vivo. METHODS: We performed a microarray analysis of genes expressed in the whole joint following surgical induction of murine OA (by cutting the medial meniscotibial ligament). Gene expression changes were validated by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction in whole joints and microdissected tissues of the joint, including the articular cartilage, meniscus, and epiphysis. Following surgery, mouse joints were immobilized, either by prolonged anesthesia or by sciatic neurectomy. RESULTS: Many genes were regulated in the whole joint within 6 hours of surgical induction of OA in the mouse. These included Arg1,

This study evaluated the effect of short bouts of stretching on the soleus muscle after immobilization, by measuring the birefringence of the intramuscular connective tissue (ICT) and the muscle fiber area. Thirty rats were divided into five groups: the left soleus was immobilized in the shortened position; after immobilization the animals remained free; after immobilization, the soleus was stretched daily (10 stretches of 60 sec followed by 30 sec rest); after immobilization, the soleus was stretched 3 times a week; control. Immobilization caused a loss of birefringence of the ICT and of muscle fiber area and only daily stretching increased both compared with the control (p , 0.01). In conclusion, short daily bouts of stretching after immobilization induced molecular reorganization of the collagen bundles and muscle fiber hypertrophy in the rat soleus ...

Abstract: The serotonergic system in the brain plays a major role in mood and anxiety regulation when exposed to stress. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of Sertraline administration in coping with stress using the behavioural paradigms of the acoustic startle reflex (ASR) and its prepulse inhibition (PPI) in both sexes. Wistar rats were divided into two groups: intact animals and exposed to restraint stress (RS) 3 times per day during 7 days, which were then subdivided into three other groups: injected with Sertraline (5 mg/kg/day) or the drug vehicle saline for 8 consecutive days, and non-injected. ASR and PPI values were analyzed along 4 sessions to determine behavioral changes. Upon it, we also determine the effects of acute immobilization stress analyzing physiological stress indicators in blood. Our data show sex differences in response to stress paradigms. RS affected more intensely males than females, disturbing the males growth and the long-term startle ...

Finally....I have completed 44 days of radiation treatments at the University of Pennsylvania. When I began, I thought they would never end. Now that it is over, it wasnt so bad. It was quite an interesting experience though. I took advantage of the Calypso beacons which were implanted in my prostate prior to initiation of the treatments. The beacons were electromagnetic radiofrequency beacons that helped to ensure that the radiation beam concentrated on the prostate, and not the bladder or colon. I also had a balloon inserted in my rectum prior to each treatment. The balloon is more formally referred to as the Radiadyne Prostate Immobilization device (www.radiadyne.com). The purpose of this is to keep the prostate from moving and to keep as much of the colon surface away from the radiation beam. During the 44 days of treatment I was also on a no fiber diet. The purpose was to eliminate any gas in the bowel that could cause the prostate to move during treatment. As a result, I have ...

With growing attention to the adverse effects of SI, there is an increasing trend toward the process of Selective Immobilization, sometimes called Spinal Clearance, which was developed from a study commonly known as the NEXUS trial. Successfully implemented by EMS agencies throughout North America for over a decade, pre-hospital professionals applied evidence-based physical exam criteria to select patients who were low-risk, or who met the spinal immobilization criteria outlined in the trial.6 The impetus for spinal clearance is also supported by recent literature that demonstrates that some trauma patients with penetrating trauma experience worse outcomes when spinal immobilization is implemented. In addition, there are a growing number of patients who refuse SI because it is uncomfortable. It has been over ten years since Fresno County EMS and others successfully implemented selective immobilization protocols. Yet, many EMS entities have not implemented similar clearance protocols despite the ...

Technologists of Russian Academy of Sciences accomplish a task of electron beam usage for proteases immobilization on 1,4-polyalkylene oxide(1,4-PAO)was sudied to obtain biologically active complex for multi-purpose usage.Immobilization improves heat resistance of enzyme up to 60℃,without substrate and up to 80℃ in presence of substrate,widens range of pH activity in comparison with non-immobilized forms.Immobilized proteases do not contain peroxides or long-live radicals.

Lipases from Candida rugosa (CRL) and from C. antarctica (isoform A) (CALA) have been successfully immobilized on octyl-glyoxyl agarose (OCGLX) beads and compared to the octyl-agarose (OC) or glyoxyl (GLX) beads immobilized counterparts. Immobilization on OCGLX gave similar hyperactivations than those found for the immobilization on OC supports, although the incubation at pH 10.0 for 4 h decreased the activity of both enzymes by 25%. After reduction, more than 95% of the enzyme activity was covalently attached to the support. The fraction not covalently attached was desorbed by washing with detergent. These biocatalysts were more stable than the octyl counterparts in thermal or organic solvent inactivation. More interestingly, the irreversible immobilization permitted the reactivation of CALA biocatalysts inactivated by incubation in organic solvent, after unfolding in the presence of guanidine and refolding in aqueous buffer (around 55% of the activity could be recovered during 3 successive ...

The cell assay group establishes and runs cell based assays for the different epigenetic targets to test the in vitro characterised tool compounds for cellular activity. We first focus on demonstrating the on-target effect of the characterised compounds in cells to provide a well validated compound. The characterised inhibitors will then be used to explore biology of the targets and dissect findings obtained by genetic methods. Well characterised inhibitors provide detailed knowledge regarding the role of specific domains of a protein or on catalytic versus scaffolding functions of an enzyme, complementing findings obtained using siRNA, shRNA or related methods.. The group works on cellular assays for bromodomains as well as demethylases. Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) is the most direct assay to interrogate if an inhibitor displaces binding of the bromodomain from chromatin. Chromatin associated proteins typically show low mobility due to their tight immobilization on ...
