Subchondral bone fatigue injury in the parasagittal condylar grooves of the third metacarpal bone in thoroughbred racehorses elevates site-specific strain concentration
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater. 2024 Apr 24;155:106561. doi: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106561. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCondylar stress fracture of the distal end of the third metacarpal/metatarsal (MC3/MT3) bones is a major cause of Thoroughbred racehorse injury and euthanasia worldwide. Functional adaptation to exercise and fatigue damage lead to structural changes in the subchondral bone that include increased modeling (resulting in sclerotic bone tissue) and targeted remodeling repair (resulting in focal resorption spaces in the parasagittal groove). Whether these focal structural changes, as detectable by standing computed...

Studying the nonlinear response of incompressible hyperelastic thin circular cylindrical shells with geometric imperfections
This study presents a comprehensive analysis of hyperelastic thin cylindrical shells exhibiting initial geometrical imperfections. The nonlinear equations of motion are derived using an improved formulation of Donnell's nonlinear shallow-shell theory and Lagrange's equations, incorporating the small strain hypothesis. Mooney-Rivlin constitutive model is employed to capture the hyperelastic behavior of the material. The coupled nonlinear equations of motion are analytically solved using Multiple-Scale method, which effectively accounts for the inherent nonlinearity of the system. To ensure the model's accuracy, the linear m...

Trehalose enhanced cold atmospheric plasma-mediated cancer treatment
Biomaterials. 2024 Apr 18;309:122582. doi: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122582. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is a unique form of physical plasma that has shown great potential for cancer therapy. CAP uses ionized gas to induce lethal oxidative stress on cancer cells; however, the efficacy of CAP therapy continues to be improved. Here, we report an injectable hydrogel-mediated approach to enhance the anti-tumor efficacy of CAP by regulating the phosphorylation of eIF2α. We discovered that reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), two main anti-tumor components in CAP, can lead to lethal ...

Approach for contact medical device development via integrated testing, skeletal muscle modeling, and finite element analysis

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDevelopment of novel medical devices for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain associated with neuro-muscular trigger points requires a model for relating the mechanical responses of in vivo biological tissues to applied palliative physical pressures and a method to design treatments for optimal effects. It is reasonable to hypothesize that the efficacy of therapeutic treatment is proportional to the maximum tensile strain at trigger point locations.
