Sentence examples for mechanical loading patterns from inspiring English sources

The goal of this study is to elucidate whether mechanobiological factors, including mechanical loading patterns, presence of bone graft, and proximity to the periosteum, correlate to de novo tissue generation and healing in critical sized long bone defects, which are enveloped by periosteum in situ and are bridged at 16 weeks, in sheep femora.

To our knowledge, the use of the major and minor centroidal axes to relate prevailing mechanical loading patterns to area and density of early bone generation in bone defects has not been reported prior to this study and may provide a new means to assess structure function relationships in de novo bone generation and healing of bone defects.

Finally, although the mean area of bone resorption is not significantly different within or between groups defined by the presence of graft and/or mechanical loading patterns in the defect zone, the mean area of infilling resorption spaces is significantly higher in areas of the defect zone least able to resist bending (minor CA) but is not significantly related to the presence of bone graft.

With advances in nano- and micro-scale technologies, a variety of approaches have been developed to engineer cell alignment in vitro, including mechanical loading, topographical patterning, and surface chemical treatment.

For instance, mechanical loading, topographical patterning, and surface chemical treatment can also be combined to engineer cell alignment in vitro.

Shape memory materials, active polymeric materials such as liquid crystal elastomers, injection of liquids in subsurface microchannels, application of magnetic fields to orient magnetic structures, or mechanical loading of rubber elastic patterned samples was applied to obtain switchability.

Despite similar collagen fiber distributions, UBML and UBS showed quite different mechanical behavior for the applied loading patterns with UBS showing a much more pronounced toe region.

It is conceivable that the rebuilding phase may occur indirectly through the effect of altered patterns of mechanical loading by increasing the production of growth factors (TGFβ1, IGF-1, bFGF), anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4) or soluble mediators (Substance P, glutamate) [ 56- 60].

LV pacing in the early reperfusion phase was shown to lead to significant redistribution of mechanical load and abnormal patterns of shortening and stretch within the LV wall [ 27, 39].

Other potential mechanisms include cumulative mechanical loading and micro-trauma and proprioceptive deficits.

Regional differences in mechanical loading may contribute to the spatial pattern of aggrecanolysis in the meniscus.
