The tendon-to-bone transition of the rotator cuff: a preliminary Raman spectroscopic study documenting the gradual mineralization across the insertion in rat tissue samples.

29 Nov 2008 We applied Raman spectroscopy to monitor the distribution of mineral and the degree of mineralization across the tendon-bone insertion site in the shoulders of five rats. We acquired Raman spectra from 100 to 4,000 Deltacm(-1) on individual 1 microm ... Read more...

Modulation of aggrecan and ADAMTS expression in ovine tendinopathy induced by altered strain.

30 Mar 2008 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate histologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular changes in tendon induced by altered strain in a large-animal model. METHODS: A full-thickness partial-width laceration of the infraspinatus tendon was created in 5 sheep, while 5 ... Read more...

Enhanced alpha 1(I) mRNA expression in frozen shoulder and dupuytren tissue.

12 Dec 2007 The purpose of this study has been to investigate collagen I and III synthesis during the fibrosing stage of frozen shoulder and Dupuytren samples in comparison to normal capsule tissue. - By using the quantitative PCR significantly increased levels ... Read more...
