Example Sentences:

(6) A complete review of the literature was made which shows that most chondrosarcomas occur in middle-aged males originating most often from the posterior cricoid lamina, next from the thyroid cartilage.
(7) For comparison, the expression of genes encoding type II collagen and cartilage proteoglycan core protein was also examined.
(8) In osteoarthritic cartilage, compared with normal cartilage, there was no increase in water binding but water content increased by 9 per cent and the avidity with which the newly bound water was held also increased.
(9) They were identified by the immunoblotting technique in extracts of chick articular cartilage from various sites and in extracts of cartilage from other species.
(10) A lysosomal membrane labilizer, vitamin A, exacerbated the cartilage pathology, whereas a stabilizer, cortisone, retarded it.
(11) The complete thyroid cartilage is dissected out, and then a horizontal cut is made through the cricoid cartilage.
(12) The buccal glands of adults of the Southern Hemisphere lamprey Geotria australis consist of a pair of small, bean-shaped, hollow sacs, embedded within the basilaris muscle in the region below the eyes and to either side of the piston cartilage.
(13) These observations suggest that the function of BMG is to evoke mesenchymal cell differentiation into prechondroblasts during the latent or migratory morphogenetic phase while the effect of the culture medium is to provide the bionutritional requirements for synthesis of hyaline cartilage matrix by chondrocytes during the patent phase of development.
(14) The cartilage of the concha is a valuable substitute of the bridge and the posterior wall of the external auditory conduct.
(15) the synovium has a) a direct, presumably enzymatic action on cartilage matrix and b) an indirect effect mediated through the chondrocytes.
(16) New insights into the biochemical and cell-biological alterations occurring in articular cartilage during the early phase of osteoarthrosis (OA) have been gained in the past decade by analysing experimentally induced osteoarthrosis in animals, mostly dogs and rabbits, while early phases of OA in humans so far have escaped diagnostic evaluation.
(17) The use of SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the cyanogen bromide derived peptides from fibrous cartilage collagens enabled to calculate type I to type II collagen ratio in this tissue.
(18) After transplantation chondrocytes from regenerated cartilage reconstructed cartilage in one out of ten transplants.
(19) Chemically isolated separate preparations of the non-aggregating protein-chondroitin-keratin sulphate (PCKS) fraction from the hyaline cartilage and hyaluronic acid (HUA) of the vitreous body and of the umbilicus were investigated by electron microscopy.
(20) Standard methods of glycosaminoglycan separation were used to confirm the presence of hyaluronic acid in sheep and rabbit articular cartilage.
Endochondral
Definition:
(a.) Growing or developing within cartilage; -- applied esp. to developing bone.
Example Sentences:
(1) Hence, neonatal condylar cartilage, an active site of endochondral bone formation in the craniofacial skeleton, can be regarded as a genuine target tissue for the biological effects of glucocorticoids.
(2) Specific binding was detectable in all endochondral bones examined, including those of the skull, but no specific binding was found in the membrane bones of the skull.
(3) The aim of the investigation was to elucidate further the role of nutritional factors in the pathogenesis of disturbed endochondral ossification, occurring in osteochondrosis.
(4) The observed pattern of development in nonirradiated specimens was the following: hypertrophy of the rostral process and endochondral-type ossification, fibrous atrophy in the midsection, and mineralization of the malleus and incus.
(5) Pulse-chase studies in organ culture did not demonstrate an obvious precursor to the 63-kDa form, and there was no conversion to the 46-kDa after 20 h. Synthesis of short chain collagen appears to be specific to the process of endochondral ossification in the growth plate; its appearance may be critical to this transition process.
(6) The cells exhibit many morphological and biochemical characteristics of resting chondrocytes and they do not produce collagen X, a marker for hypertrophic cartilage undergoing endochondral ossification.
(7) Endochondral ossification was responsible for the longitudinally, rostrally directed growth.
(8) During early stages of development of matrix-induced implants, ED1, Ia-positive monocytes-macrophages were observed, suggesting that in the initial phases of the endochondral bone formation cascade, the bone-inductive protein osteogenin and related bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) might serve as potent chemoattractants to recruit circulating monocytes.
(9) Demineralized bone matrix induces ectopic endochondral bone formation.
(10) Membranous and endochondral ossification processes are insufficient to describe all the aspects observed in the growing skeleton.
(11) Endochondral ossification did not occur in this system.
(12) Thanatophoric dwarfism is associated with disorganized endochondral ossification similar to that in homozygous achondroplasia, but there is no accumulation of glycogen within chondrocytes.
(13) The following results were obtained: The thickness of the cartilaginous layer and the growth rate of the endochondral bone formation decreased with age.
(14) It has been proved that lengthening of 0.4 mm per day by way of slow distraction would not cause epiphysiolysis, and that lengthening took place as a result of increased osteogenesis and augmented endochondral ossification in the epiphyseal plate, being induced by distraction at a slow rate.
(15) can induce ectopic endochondral bone formation when implanted into the skeletal muscle of immunosuppressed or autologous animals.
(16) The organic specificity of the metaepiphyseal borderline zone depends, first of all, on its intermediate position between the cartilage, fulfilling further bone growth lengthwise as an organ, and a developing endochondral bone substituting cartilage in the epiphysis.
(17) Type II collagen gene transcripts were found in all the chondrogenic tissues of the axial and appendicular skeleton until the onset of endochondral ossification.
(18) Theoretical investigations indicate that mechanical loading histories beginning very early in skeletal development may guide endochondral ossification patterns and the initial architectural construction of bones.
(19) As the transplanted tumor shows features of calcified chondrosarcoma, this tumor is thought to be an excellent model for study of the process of dystrophic endochondral calcification.
(20) On the contrary, our data clearly demonstrate that bone-forming tumors can be obtained by either IP route, in a way which mimics endochondral ossification, or in the brain (IB), a region usually devoid of connective tissue.
