Three-dimensional motion analysis featuring ground reaction force (GRF) and electromyography (EMG) of the dominant leg was used.

RFS cutting had greater knee flexion, hip flexion, knee valgus, knee varus moment, knee varus moment, and ankle eversion ROM. FFS cutting produced a lower vertical GRF, lateral GRF, and a loading rate. Both vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscle activities were remarkably greater during cutting of 90° than 45°.

The application of amniotic membrane (AM) on wounds with challenging contexts (e.g., chronification and diabetic foot ulcer) has proven very successful.

Moreover, AM collection and processing requires a cleanroom, together with specialized staff and equipment, and facilities that are not usually available in many hospitals and healthcare units. In this publication, we kept previously cryopreserved AM at different temperatures (37°C, 20°C, and 4°C) in different media (DMEM high glucose and saline solution with or without human albumin) and for long incubation time periods after thawing (24 h and 48 h). HaCaT keratinocytes and TGF-β1-chronified HaCaT keratinocytes were used to measure several parameters related to wound healing: migration, cell cycle arrest rescue, and the expression of key genes and migration-related proteins. Our findings indicate that AM kept in physiological saline solution at 4°C for 24 h or 48 h performed excellently in promoting HaCaT cell migration compared to AM that had been immediately thawed (0 h). Indeed, key proteins, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and c-Jun, were induced by AM at 4°C in saline solution. Similarly, cell proliferation and different genes related to survival, inflammation, and senescence had, in all cases, the same response as to standard AM.

Displacement and von Mises stress pattern during maxillary protraction, expansion, and combined protraction and expansion were analyzed.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The seven bone-grafted models exhibited significantly smaller horizontal displacements at the non-cleft side landmarks during maxillary protraction and expansion compared to non-bone grafted models. Additionally, alveolar cleft bone grafted in the upper 1/3 and middle 1/3 exhibited greater asymmetry displacement and stress under maxillary protraction and expansion.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The study highlights the necessity of considering occlusal forces in finite element study on orthodontic therapies for UCLP patients. The upper 1/3 and middle 1/3 bone graft conditions may require secondary bone graft supplementation to ensure the effectiveness of maxillary orthodontic treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":12444,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology","volume":"12 ","pages":"1448286"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11573579/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142675348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
