The parameters used to measure embryotoxicity (litter size, gross anatomical defects, weight, number of resorption sites, proportion of fetal deaths) showed no significant difference between this group of mice and the control group given distilled water.
A mutation-associated defect in weight gain during the nursing period thus appears greater in mice of B6 background, as compared to 129 and F1 mice.
Tissue-engineered bone construct comprised of segmental ceramic block impregnated with osteogenically-induced autologous MSCs and plasma-derived fibrin can be an alternative to bone allograft for repairing critical size load-bearing segmental bone defect, early weight loading, and recovery of limb functions.
A vascularized double-barreled fibular graft is an ideal option for reconstructing a massive defect in weight-bearing bone: it provides not only sufficient mechanical strength but also good union for early rehabilitation.
Here we report profound effects of the earthquake upon birth-defect, birth weight and sex ratio at birth and other primary characteristics.
Which part of the joint is affected and whether or not the defect is weight-bearing are also of interest (Hurtig 1988, Frisbie et al. 1999).
Based on these results, we conclude that bare HASi can aid in bone regeneration but, with the combination of cells and PRP, the sequence of healing events are much faster in large segmental bone defects in weight-bearing areas in goats.
The technique presented is a sound and feasible salvage procedure to address large osteochondral defects in weight-bearing zones.
There has been an increasing trend towards intraoperative filling of these lesions, and this is especially so when dealing with defects in weight-bearing areas.
The femoral condyle is the most often used defect site for weight bearing models, especially those located inferioposteriorly (An & Freidman 1999).
