It is widely accepted that the pressure variation of interstitial fluid is one of the most important factors in bone physiology. In order to understand the role of interstitial fluid on porous bony structure, a consideration for the biomechanical interactions between fluid and solid constituents within bone is required. In this study, a poroelastic theory was applied to investigate the elastic behavior of calf vertebral trabecular bone composed of the porous solid trabeculae and the viscous bone marrow. The poroelastic behavior of trabecular bone in a uniaxial stress condition was simulated using a commercial finite difference analysis software (FLAC, Itasca Consulting Group, USA), and tested for 5 different strain rates, i.e., 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, and 10 per second. The material properties of the calf vertebral trabecular bone were utilized from the previous experimental study. Two asymptotic poroelastic responses, the drained and undrained deformations, were predicted. From the predicted results for the simulated five strain rates, it was found that the pore pressure generation has a linearly increasing behavior when the strain rate is the highest at 10 per second, otherwise it showed a nonlinear behavior. The pore pressure generation with respect to the strain was found to be increased as the strain rate increased. The elastic moduli predicted at each strain were 208.3, 212.2, 337.6, 593.1, and 602.2 MPa, respectively. Based on the results of the present study, it was suggested that the calf vertebral trabecular bone could be modeled as a poroelastic material and its strain rate dependent material behavior could be predicted.

Orthodontic tooth movement is a unique process which tooth, solid material is moving into hard tissue, bone. Orthodontic force in general provides the strain to the PDL and alveolar bone, which in turn generates the interstitial fluid flow(in detail, fluid flow in PDL and canaliculi). As a results of matrix strain, periodontal ligament cells and bone cells are deformed, releasing variety of cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors. These molecules lead to the orthodontic tooth movement(OTM). In these inflammation and tissue remodeling sites, all of the cells could closely communicate with one another, flowing the information for tissue remodeling. To accelerate the rate of OTM in future, local injection of single growth factor(GF) or a combination of multiple GFs in the periodontal tissues might intervene to stimulate the rate of OTM. Corticotomy is effective and safe to accelerate OTM.

The object of this study is to develop a model of the cardiovascular system capable of simulating the short-term transient and steady-state hemodynamic responses such as hypotention and disequilibrium syndrome during hemodialysis or hemofiltration. The model consists of a closed loop 12 lumped-parameter representation of the cardiovascular circulation connected to set-point models of the arterial and cardiopulmonary baroreflexes and 3 compartmental body fluid and solute kinetic model. The hemodialysis model includes the dynamics of sodium, urea, and potassium in the intracellular and extracellular pools, fluid balance equations for the intracellular, interstitial, and plasma volumes. We have presented the results of many different simulations performed by changing a few model parameters with respect to their basal values.

The Wnt/β-catenin signaling is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that plays a pivotal role in embryonic development and adult homeostasis. However, we have limited information about the involvement of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in the lymphatic vascular system that regulates fluid homeostasis by absorbing interstitial fluid and returning it to blood circulation. In this recent publication we report that canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling is highly active and critical for the formation of lymphovenus valves (LVVs) and lymphatic valves (LVs). β-catenin directly associates with the regulatory elements of the lymphedema-associated transcription factor, FOXC2 and activates its expression in an oscillatory shear stress (OSS)-dependent manner. The phenotype of β-catenin null embryos was rescued by FOXC2 overexpression. These results suggest that Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a mechanotransducer that links fluid force with lymphatic vascular development.

Protective effect of superoxide dismutase[SOD] and substrates on acute ischemic and reperfused myocardium was assessed by cardiac microdialysis. 30 Rabbits were divided into 4 groups; normal control group [group I, n=5], ischemic group [group II, n=5], SOD treated group [group III, n=10], and substrates treated group [group IV, n=10]. After a microdialysis apparatus was implanted in rabbit myocardium, coronary artery was occuluded for 5 minutes and reperfusion was performed for 30 minutes. Hemodynamic changes, CK-MB isoenzyme level and adenine ring compound level in effluent dialysates [equilibrated with interstitial fluid], and ultrastructural changes of myocardial cell were analysed. Systolic blood pressure at 10 and 30 minutes after reperfusion was higher in group III and IV than in group II [p<.05]. Also percent recovery of systolic blood pressure in group III [p<.01] and IV [p<.02] was higher than in group II. CK-MB isoenzyme level in effluent dialysates was peaked at 10 minutes after reperfusion, thereafter decreased in group II, III and IV. At 30 minutes after reperfusion, its level was lower in group III and IV than in group II[p<.05]. Adenine ring compound level in effluent dialysates increased till 10 minutes after reperfusion and progressively decreased. At 10 and 30 minutes after reperfusion, its level was lower in group III and IV than in group II without significance. Degree of myocardial damage was estimated by scoring of mitochondrial injury. Group I was within normal range and most severe injury was seen in group II. And the score of mitochondrial injury in group III and IV was lower than in group II. In conclusion, SOD and substrates[KMP solution] had protective effect on stunned myocardium. The microdialysis appratus was a good device for studying stunned myocardium, and cardiac microdialysis might be a unique technique for analysis of regional intramyocardial interstitial fluid.

Backgrounds & Objectives: Many acute and chronic lung disorders with variable degrees of pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis are collectively referred to as interstitial lung diseases. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is one of several idiopathic interstitial pneumonias with the pathogenesis unclear. Astragali Radix is known to inhibit the Th2 immune response. The effects of Astragali Radix on bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis were evaluated. Materials and Methods: Astragali Radix extract was daily given to the normal rats, control (bleomycin) and treated (bleomycin and Astragali Radix extract, 24.0 mg/10g body weight) rats for 14 days. After 14 days, we observed the change of total leukocyte count and percentage, IFN-gamma and IL-4 in BALF (Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid), and of semiquantitative histological index (SHI). Results: Compared to the control group, Astragali Radix decreased total leukocyte count (p<0.05), lymphocyte (p<0.05), neutrophil (no significance) percentage, SHI (p<0.05), IFN-gamma and IL-4 (p<0.05). Otherwise, macrophage percentage was increased (p<0.01). Conclusion: This study showed that Astragali Radix reduced the incidence of inflammatory cells and cytokines and prevented the fibrosis of tissue in bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis rats.
