Bone graft materials, autologous bone, allogeneic bone and synthetic polymer scaffolds have been commonly utilized surgically as substrates for bone grafting. In this dissertation, periosteum, a thin membrane in which progenitor cells can develop into osteoblasts to regenerate bone tissue, has been applied in three different studies to determine its capability to induce new bone formation. In the first study, human periosteum-wrapped bone allografts were implanted subcutaneously in athymic mice followed by sample harvest and gene expression analysis and histological assessment. The second study developed a tissue-engineering approach to generate a functional tendon-to-bone enthesis. In this instance, the constructs were fabricated from human periosteum-wrapped allograft bone and tenocyte- and chondrocyte-seeded biomaterials. The constructs were then implanted with and without mechanical force by either tethering them to the trapezius and gluteus maximus muscles of athymic mice or not tethering them at all. Biomechanical, histological, and histochemical properties of these tendon-to-bone enthesis models were analyzed following their iii implantation. The third study was designed to determine the possible effects of bromine- or silicon-functionalized poly(lactic acid) (Si-PLA) scaffolds on skeletal development. To examine initially the cytotoxicity of bromine on periosteal cells, a PrestoBlue® assay was performed on human periosteal cell-seeded brominated PLA scaffolds over a 21-day time period. With application of histological and gene expression analysis, new bone formation and resorption were detected in human-periosteum allografts implanted for different time periods. Correlated histological and gene data showed that periosteum has the capability of inducing bone regeneration in allografts and in tendon-to-bone enthesis models. Tissue-engineered enthesis models fabricated with periosteum-allograft and chondrocyte- and tenocyte- seeded scaffolds provide a novel method for healing enthesis defects in regenerative medicine. In addition, results from bromine cytotoxicity studies of human periosteal cells imply subsequent Si-PLA experiments with minimal numbers of bromine residues on the backbone of PLA. These tissue engineering investigations suggest that both allograft bone and biosynthetic polymers have great potential in regenerative medicine applications for bone. iv DEDICATION To my mother, who has been the most supportive and loveliest person in the world. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Firstly, I would like to express my deep and sincere appreciation to Dr. William J.

ABSTRACT Sesamoid bones are a special group of small auxiliary bones that form in proximity to joints and contribute to their stability and function. Sesamoid bones display high degree of variability in size, location, penetrance and anatomical connection to the main skeleton across vertebrate species. Therefore, providing a comprehensive developmental model or classification system for sesamoid bones is challenging. Here, we examine the developmental mechanisms of three anatomically different sesamoid bones, namely patella, lateral fabella and digit sesamoids. Through a comprehensive comparative analysis at the cellular, molecular and mechanical levels, we demonstrate that all three types of sesamoid bones originated from Sox9+/Scx+ progenitors under the regulation of TGFβ and independent of mechanical stimuli from muscles.

  • 2015 AACA Annual Meeting Program
    June 9 – 12, 2015 | Henderson, Nevada President’s Report June 9-12, 2015 Green Valley Ranch Resort & Casino Henderson, NV Another year has quickly passed and I have been asked to summarize achievements/threats to the Association for our meeting program booklet. Much of this will be recanted in my introductory message on the opening day of the meeting in Henderson. As President, I am representing Council in recognizing the work of those individuals not already recognized in our standing committee reports that you will find in this program. One of our most active ad hoc committees has been the one looking into creating an endowment for the association through member and vendor sponsorships. Our past president, Anne Agur, has chaired this committee and deserves accolades for having the committee work hard and produce the materials you have either already seen, or will be introduced to in Henderson. The format was based on that used by many clinical organizations. It allows support at many different levels, the financial income from which is being invested for student awards and travel stipends. Our ambitious 5 year goal is $100,000. I hope that you will join me in thinking seriously about supporting this initiative - at whichever level you feel comfortable with. Every dollar goes to the endowment. In October, Council ratified the creation of our new standing committee - Brand Promotion and Outreach. This committee was formed by fusing the two ad hoc committees struck by Anne Agur when she was President. Last year our new branding was highly visible in Orlando and we want to use this momentum to continue raising the profile of the Association at many different types of events within and outside North America.

  • Orthopaedics 1
    LEARNING PLATFORM- Terminology Orthopaedics 1 1. Read the text1 and underline the keywords that describe the human musculoskeletal system. Make sure you know how to say these terms in all your working languages. Modern orthopaedics is concerned with the diagnosis and management of disorders of the musculoskeletal system, that is the skeleton and the soft tissues associated with it. The skeletal system forms the rigid internal framework of the body and consists of the bones, cartilages, ligaments and tendons. Bones support the weight of the body, allow for body movements and protect internal organs. Cartilage provides flexible strength and support for body structures such as the thoracic cage, the external ear, and the trachea and larynx. At joints of the body, cartilage can also unite adjacent bones or provide cushioning between them. Ligaments are the strong connective tissue bands that hold the bones at a moveable joint together and serve to prevent excessive movements of the joint that would result in injury. Providing movement of the skeleton are the muscles of the body, which are firmly attached to the skeleton via connective tissue structures called tendons. As muscles contract, they pull on the bones to produce movements of the body. As each bone of the body serves a particular function, bones vary in size, shape and strength, based on their function. For example, the bones of the lower back and lower limb are thick and strong to support our body weight. Similarly, the size of a bony landmark that serves as a muscle attachment site on an individual bone is related to the strength of this muscle (bony landmarks are areas on a bone to which something attaches – another bone, a muscle, blood vessels and nerves).

ABSTRACT Being a type of scientific nomenclature, anatomy terms must be clear, precise, logical, coherent and accepted worldwide. Therefore, astandardized veterinary anatomical nomenclaturehasnot only recognised internationally but also came highly recommended and must bringto the attention of not only teachers, students and researchers, but also to clinicians, translators, editors and publishers for use throughout their activities. Although a standard veterinary anatomical nomenclature exists, e.g.NominaAnatomicaVeterinaria,it is not always followed or well known by everyone within the profession. Additionally, casual or jargon terms are commonly used, and that is in addition to differing languages being utilised. This manuscript discusses some of the examples derived from the mix of technical versus jargon anatomical veterinary words,makesrecommendations regardingthe use of jargon or technical words according each situation and highlights some of the complexities involved in structuring and maintaining anatomical nomenclature.
