The menisci are a pair of knee joint structures that are wedge-shaped in cross-section and semi-lunar in superior view. They play roles in force distribution that help maintain the health of the articular cartilage. In adults, the menisci can be divided into a fibrous, vascularized outer region...

Clinical Screening and Identification of Sarcopenic Obesity in Adults with Knee Osteoarthritis
DownloadFall 2019
Background: Obesity [defined using body mass index (BMI)] is associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and increased surgical infection risk in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However sarcopenic obesity, a phenotype of low muscle mass with high fat mass, may have greater relevance and implications...

Collagen I: an aberrantly expressed molecule in chondrocytes or a key player in tissue stabilization and repair both in vivo and in vitro?
DownloadSpring 2010
Barley, Randall Douglas Corwyn
Extrinsic repair techniques for the treatment of acute chondral injuries continue to yield suboptimal repair. The inability of these techniques to produce hyaline cartilage underscores the limitations in our understanding of basic chondrocyte biology. Conversely, intrinsic repair tissue has not...

Physical activity is recommended in the management of arthritis. This thesis utilized the CCHS 2007-2008 to 1) determine what factors modify physical activity in explaining the likelihood of having arthritis; and 2) what demographic, behavioural and medical factors influence physical activity...

Initial differences in lipid processing leading to pig- and beef-derived mature adipocyte dedifferentiation
Download2009
Fernyhough, Melinda E., Hausman, Gary J., Guan, Leluo, Guridi, Maitea, Jiang, Zhihua, Dodson, Michael V., Chen, Jie
Clonal cultures of pig-derived mature adipocytes are capable of dedifferentiating and forming proliferative-competent progeny cells in vitro. Initial lipid processing, is different to that observed in cultures of beef-derived adipocytes. Mature pig adipocytes extrude lipid before proliferation,...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by progressive destruction of articular cartilage, subchondral bone sclerosis, and osteophyte formation. Currently there is no disease modifying drug for treatment of OA. Usually OA is not diagnosed until the advanced stages, where palliative treatment is the...

Fall 2010
Osteoarthritis is characterized by pain and inflammation in joints, typically weight-bearing joints such as the knee. An early warning sign of osteoarthritis is the loss of proteoglycan molecules in the cartilage matrix. A surrogate method for measuring proteoglycan loss is detection of sodium...

Proteome differences associated with fat accumulation in bovine subcutaneous adipose tissues
Download2010
Basu, U., Guan, L., Dodson, M. V., Zhao, Y. M., Basarab, J. A.
Background The fat components of red meat products have been of interest to researchers due to the health aspects of excess fat consumption by humans. We hypothesized that differences in protein expression have an impact on adipose tissue formation during beef cattle development and growth....
