Full disclosure: I have somehow written a book about the appeal and history of crosswords (Two Girls, One on Each Knee) and of quiz (The Joy of Quiz).
To determine if rTRAIL affects joint inflammation, LSF was obtained from each knee joint of the rabbits before and after injection of rTRAIL.
OA was induced by a single injection of iodoacetate (5 mg/ml, 2 μl) into each knee joint of 4-month-old mice (WT) or gal-3 null mice (KO).
The last three seasons, Richter's own season has been cut short by injury: the first two by a torn anterior cruciate ligament in each knee, each of which required reconstructive surgery.
For each knee, assessment of the PFJ function was performed with an acceleration sensor placed 1 cm above the apex of the patella using double-sided adherent tape.
Swelling was assessed on days 0 to 5, 7, 14, and 21 of AIA by measuring the mediolateral diameter of each knee by means of an Oditest caliper (Kroeplin, Schlüchtern, Germany).
For assessing the overall grade, the scores of the four specimens from each knee surface and of the two observers were averaged (a maximum of 11).
Simplified outcomes of better, the same or worse was given to each knee after evaluation of the pre- and post-operative radiographs.
We mixed 2 g of antibiotics with 40 g of cement, and each knee contained 6 g of antibiotics in total.
The coil was positioned in parallel with each knee, allowing simultaneous acquisition of images of both knees.
