To understand the mechanism of allosteric coupling between the ligand-binding domain and the ion channel of the Cys-loop ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs), we fused the soluble acetylcholine-binding protein (AChBP), which lacks an ion channel, to either the cationic serotonin type-3A ion channel (5HT(3A)) or the anionic glycine ion channel. Both linear chimeras expressed in HEK-293 cells display high affinity for the nicotinic agonist epibatidine (K(D) = 0.2-0.5 nM), but are not targeted to the cell surface. Only after substituting a ring of three loops located at the putative membrane side of the AChBP three-dimensional structure by the homologous residues of 5HT(3A), the resulting chimera AChBP(ring)/5HT(3A) (i) still displayed on intact cells an apparent high affinity for epibatidine, yet with a fourfold decrease (K(D) = 2.1 nM), (ii) displayed a high proportion of low affinity sites (11 +/- 7 microM) for the resting state stabilizing competitive antagonist alpha-bungarotoxin and (iii) was successfully targeted to the cell surface, as seen by immunofluorescence labelling. The AChBP(ring)/5HT(3A) chimera forms a pentameric structure, as revealed by sucrose gradient sedimentation. However, no whole-cell patch-clamp currents were detectable. Interestingly, binding assays with membrane fragments prepared from cells expressing AChBP(ring)/5HT(3A) showed a decrease in the apparent affinity for the agonists nicotine and epibatidine (5-fold), concomitant with an increase in the proportion of high-affinity sites (48 +/- 1 nM) for alpha-bungarotoxin. These results indicate that fusion of AChBP to an ion channel forms a pentameric receptor exposed to the cell surface and able to convert between discrete allosteric states, but stabilized in a high affinity state for epibatidine that likely corresponds to a desensitized form of LGICs. These artificial chimeras might offer a useful system to investigate signal transduction in LGICs. 相似文献

The in vitro antibacterial activity of the glass-ionomer restorative cements Ketac-Cem, Ketac-Bond, Ketac-Silver and Vitrebond was studied in conjunction with 32 strains of five bacteria involved in the development of caries: Streptococcus spp., Lactobacillus spp., Actinomyces spp., Porphyromonas spp. and Clostridium spp. The agar plate diffusion method was used for the cultures, which included a chlorhexidine positive control. All the glass-ionomer cements tested inhibited bacterial growth, but with considerable differences in the scope of their action. Of the four cements, Vitrebond, a resin-modified glass-ionomer cement, was determined to be the most effective bacterial inhibitor. 相似文献

Resin onlay restoration is an esthetic alternative technique used for restoring extensively damaged primary molars. Understanding the behavior of materials under repeated functional stress and how the stress is transmitted to the remaining tooth structure is important. The aim of this study was to compare stresses in primary molars restored with indirect composite and compomer onlay. 3D frame models of the right mandibular and maxillary primary molars and the alveolar bone were created using computerized tomography images of a six-year-old girl. The enamel and dentine layers above the cement layer were unified to generate onlay restoration, and composite and compomer were used as restorative materials. The vertical occlusal load (100?N) was applied to the teeth in the occlusal contact areas. The von Mises stress distributions and normal stress distributions of the y-axis (parallel to the long axis of tooth) were evaluated. The occlusal stress is transmitted to the cervical part of healthy teeth by spreading it through the enamel layer. The composite and compomer restorative materials exhibited similar stress distribution patterns. An indirect technique creates a structure similar to the original morphological form, and it allows restorations to distribute high occlusal stresses and to minimize possible breakages. 相似文献

Composition of the cement line and its possible mechanical role as a local interface in human compact bone 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Human compact bone may be viewed as a fiber reinforced composite material in which the secondary osteons act as the fiber reinforcements. The cement line, which is the interface between the 'fibers' (osteons) and extraosteonal bone matrix, may impart important mechanical properties to compact bone. The nature of these properties is not known partly because the composition of the cement line is unknown. This analysis examines the constituents of the osteon cement line using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray microprobe analysis to address its biomechanical functions as a local interface. The analysis suggests that the cement line is a region of reduced mineralization which may contain sulfated mucosubstances. This composition is consistent with the hypothesis that the cement line provides a relatively ductile interface with surrounding bone matrix, and that it provides the point specific stiffness differences, poor 'fiber'-matrix bonding and energy transfer qualities required to promote crack initiation but slow crack growth in compact bone. 相似文献

In this study, two micro finite element models of trabecular bone–cement interface developed from high resolution computed tomography (CT) images were loaded under compression and validated using the in situ experimental data. The models were then used under tension and shear to examine the load transfer between the bone and cement and the micro damage development at the bone–cement interface. In addition, one models was further modified to investigate the effect of cement penetration on the bone–cement interfacial behaviour. The simulated results show that the load transfer at the bone–cement interface occurred mainly in the bone cement partially interdigitated region, while the fully interdigitated region seemed to contribute little to the mechanical response. Consequently, cement penetration beyond a certain value would seem to be ineffective in improving the mechanical strength of trabecular bone–cement interface. Under tension and shear loading conditions, more cement failures were found in denser bones, while the cement damage is generally low under compression. 相似文献

This paper is concerned with the fracture mechanics of a bone-cement interface that includes a cohesive zone effect on the crack faces. This accounts for the experimentally observed strengthening mechanism due to the mechanical interlock between the crack faces. Edge crack models are developed where the cohesive zone is simulated by a continuous or a discrete distribution of linear or nonlinear springs. It is shown that the solution obtained by assuming a homogeneous material is fairly close to the exact solution for the bimaterial interface edge crack problem. On the basis of that approximation, the analysis is conducted for the problem of two interacting edge cracks, one at the interface, and the other one in the cement. The small crack that was observed to initiate in the cement, close to the bone-cement interface, does not affect much the mode I stress-intensity factor at the tip of the interface crack. However it may grow, leading to a catastrophic breakdown of the cement. The analysis and following discussion point out an interdependency between bone-cement interface strength and cement strength not previously appreciated. The suggested crack models provide a framework for quantifying the fracture mechanisms at the bone-cement interface. 相似文献

Stem surface roughness alters creep induced subsidence and 'taper-lock' in a cemented femoral hip prosthesis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Norman TL Thyagarajan G Saligrama VC Gruen TA Blaha JD 《Journal of biomechanics》2001,34(10):1325-1333
The clinical success of polished tapered stems has been widely reported in numerous long term studies. The mechanical environment that exists for polished tapered stems, however, is not fully understood. In this investigation, a collarless, tapered femoral total hip stem with an unsupported distal tip was evaluated using a 'physiological' three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis. It was hypothesized that stem-cement interface friction, which alters the magnitude and orientation of the cement mantle stress, would subsequently influence stem 'taper-lock' and viscoelastic relaxation of bone cement stresses. The hypothesis that creep-induced subsidence would result in increases to stem-cement normal (radial) interface stresses was also examined. Utilizing a viscoelastic material model for the bone cement in the analysis, three different stem-cement interface conditions were considered: debonded stem with zero friction coefficient (mu=0) (frictionless), debonded stem with stem-cement interface friction (mu=0.22) ('smooth' or polished) and a completely bonded stem ('rough'). Stem roughness had a profound influence on cement mantle stress, stem subsidence and cement mantle stress relaxation over the 24-h test period. The frictionless and smooth tapered stems generated compressive normal stress at the stem-cement interface creating a mechanical environment indicative of 'taper-lock'. The normal stress increased with decreasing stem-cement interface friction but decreased proximally with time and stem subsidence. Stem subsidence also increased with decreasing stem-cement interface friction. We conclude that polished stems have a greater potential to develop 'taper-lock' fixation than do rough stems. However, subsidence is not an important determinant of the maintenance of 'taper-lock'. Rather subsidence is a function of stem-cement interface friction and bone cement creep. 相似文献

Impedance between the electrode inserted in a root canal of a human tooth and the outer electrode placed on the oral mucosa serves as a measure of the root canal length, a vital parameter necessary for efficient endodontic procedure in dentistry. For better understanding of current conduction through the tooth, the impedance has been measured on extracted teeth (in vitro) and further used to develop corresponding electrical lumped element models. For modeling the metal/solution interface and complex structure of the tooth, Fricke's constant phase elements are employed. More detailed insight into current conduction is given by numerical simulation. Numerical simulation demonstrates the influence on the impedance of several important parameters, such as dentin conductance, canal preparation, and solution conductance. 相似文献

Extensive sampling and metagenomics analyses of plankton communities across all aquatic environments are beginning to provide insights into the ecology of microbial communities. In particular, the importance of metabolic exchanges that provide a foundation for ecological interactions between microorganisms has emerged as a key factor in forging such communities. Here we show how both studies of environmental samples and physiological experimentation in the laboratory with defined microbial co‐cultures are being used to decipher the metabolic and molecular underpinnings of such exchanges. In addition, we explain how metabolic modelling may be used to conduct investigations in reverse, deducing novel molecular exchanges from analysis of large‐scale data sets, which can identify persistently co‐occurring species. Finally, we consider how knowledge of microbial community ecology can be built into evolutionary theories tailored to these species’ unique lifestyles. We propose a novel model for the evolution of metabolic auxotrophy in microorganisms that arises as a result of symbiosis, termed the Foraging‐to‐Farming hypothesis. The model has testable predictions, fits several known examples of mutualism in the aquatic world, and sheds light on how interactions, which cement dependencies within communities of microorganisms, might be initiated. 相似文献

A theoretical analysis of the distinguishability problem of two rival models of the single enzyme-single substrate reaction, the Michaelis-Menten and Henri mechanisms, is presented. We also outline a general approach for analysing the structural indistinguishability between two mechanisms. The approach involves constructing, if possible, a smooth mapping between the two candidate models. Evans et al. [N.D. Evans, M.J. Chappell, M.J. Chapman, K.R. Godfrey, Structural indistinguishability between uncontrolled (autonomous) nonlinear analytic systems, Automatica 40 (2004) 1947-1953] have shown that if, in addition, either of the mechanisms satisfies a particular criterion then such a transformation always exists when the models are indistinguishable from their experimentally observable outputs. The approach is applied to the single enzyme-single substrate reaction mechanism. In principle, mechanisms can be distinguished using this analysis, but we show that our ability to distinguish mechanistic models depends both on the precise measurements made, and on our knowledge of the system prior to performing the kinetics experiments. 相似文献

Experimental periodontal regeneration studies have revealed the weak binding of repair cementum to the root surface, whereas attachment of cementum to dentin preconditioned by odontoclasts appears to be superior. The aim of this study has been, therefore, to analyze the structural and partial biochemical nature of the interface that develops between resorbed dentin and repair cementum by using human deciduous teeth as a model. Aldehyde-fixed and decalcified tooth samples were embedded in acrylic or epoxy resins and sectioned for light and transmission electron microscopy. Antibodies against bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteopontin (OPN), two noncollagenous proteins accumulating at hard tissue interfaces in bone and teeth, were used for protein A-gold immunocytochemistry. Light microscopy revealed a gradually increasing staining intensity of the external dentin matrix starting after the withdrawal of the odontoclast. Labeling for both BSP and OPN was first detected among the exposed collagen fibrils and in the intratubular dentin matrix when odontoclasts had withdrawn but mesenchymal cells were present. Subsequently, collagen fibrils of the repair cementum were deposited concomitantly with the appearance of labeling for BSP and OPN over the intratubular, intertubular, and peritubular dentin matrix. Labeled mineralization foci indicated the advancing mineralization front, and the collagenous repair matrix became integrated in an electron-dense organic material that showed labeling for BSP and OPN. Thus, no distinct planar interfacial matrix layer lies between the resorbed dentin and the repair cementum. The results suggest that odontoclasts precondition the dentin matrix such that the repair cementum becomes firmly attached.This study was supported by the Clinical Research Foundation (CRF) for the Promotion of Oral Health, University of Berne, Berne, Switzerland. 相似文献

The aim of this study is to define stem design related factors causing both gaps in the metal-bone cement interface and cracks within the cement mantle. Six different stem designs (Exeter; Lubinus SP II; Ceraver Osteal; Mueller-straight stem; Centega; Spectron EF) (n=15 of each design) were cemented into artificial femur bones. Ten stems of each design were loaded, while five stems served as an unloaded control. Physiologically adapted cyclical loading (DIN ISO 7206-4) was performed with a hip simulator. After loading both interfaces and the bone cement itself were analysed regarding gaps and cracks in the cement mantle. Significant differences between the stem designs concerning gaps in the metal-bone cement interface and cracks in the cement mantle became apparent. Additionally, a high correlation between gaps in the metal-bone cement interface and cracks within the cement mantle could be proven. Gaps in the metal-bone cement interface but no cracks within the cement mantle were seen in the unloaded specimens. Differences between the unloaded control groups and the cyclical loaded stems regarding the longitudinal extension and width of gaps in the metal-bone cement interface were obvious. The designs of cemented femoral stems have an influence on both the quality of the metal-bone cement contact and the failure rate of the cement mantle. Less interface gaps and less cement defects were found with anatomically formed, collared, well-rounded stem designs without undercuttings. 相似文献

The collagen from the mesenteric sheath of the tenebrionid insect Tenebrio molitor was extracted by limited pepsin digestion and purified. This collagen was characterized using CM-cellulose chromatography, sodium-dodecylsulfate disc-gel electrophoresis and aminoacid analysis. This molecule was found to be assembled from three identical alpha chains and could be represented by the formula (alpha) 3. The amino acid composition is characteristic of collagen (one-third glycine, high iminoacid content), with high content of hydroxylysine and low content of alanine. Cyanogen bromide digests of these chains indicated that they are not related to any of the known invertebrate or vertebrate chains of interstitial collagens. The molecular weight (M = 280000D) and length (290 nm) were typical, and the banding patterns of the segment-long-spacing crystallites (SLS) and of the reconstitued fibrils were very similar to type I collagen. The denaturation temperature (Td) was 30.7 degrees C and correlated with the total pyrrolidine content as observed in other collagens (von Hippel & Wong's relation). It was concluded that the collagen from this insect showed the classical biochemical and biophysical features of other invertebrate interstitial "primitive" collagens. 相似文献

This study aimed to improve understanding of the mechanical aspects of cemented implant loosening. After aggressive fatigue loading of stem/cement/femur constructs, micro-cracks and stem/bone micro-motions were quantified to answer three research questions: Are cracks preferentially associated with the stem/cement interface, the cement/bone interface or voids? Is cement damage dependent on axial position? Does cement damage correlate with micro-motion between the stem and the bone? Eight Charnley Cobra stems were implanted in cadaveric femora. Six stem/cement/femur constructs were subjected to "stair-climbing" loads for 300 kcycles at 2Hz. Loads were normalized by construct stiffness to avoid fracture. Two additional constructs were not loaded. Transverse sections were cut at 10mm intervals, stained with a fluorescent dye penetrant and examined using epi-fluorescence stereomicroscopy. Crack lengths and cement areas were recorded for 9 sections per specimen. Crack length-density was calculated by dividing summed crack length by cement mantle area. To isolate the effect of loading, length-density data were offset by the baseline length-density measured in the non-loaded specimens. Significantly more cracks were associated with the interdigitated area (35.1%+/-11.6%) and the cement/bone interface (31.0%+/-6.2%) than with the stem/cement interface (11.0%+/-5.2%) or voids (6.1%+/-4.8%) (p<0.05). Load-induced micro-crack length-density was significantly dependent on axial position, increasing proximally (p<0.001). Micro-motions were small, all stems rotated internally. Cement damage did not correlate with micro-motion. 相似文献

During the 20th century, because of urbanization, most palaeontological sites yielding plants (Hettangian–Sinemurian in age) from the city of Mende have disappeared, or they have been forgotten. This article presents a synthesis of sites yielding plants, from their discoveries in the 19th century to recent prospecting. New lithostratigraphic and palaeobotanical data are brought for two historic sites (Ravin del Pouset and Petit Séminaire), as well as two new localities (Causse d’Auge road and Gardès road). This study reveals the diversity of plant-containing lithofacies (dolomudstone, marl, limestone/calcarenite and oo-bioclastic limestone) and the diversity of plant preservations (charcoalified compressions with or without cuticle, isolated cuticle, external casts/impressions). Microfaciological study of plant beds demonstrates the diversity of depositional environments. Protected, restricted and shallow environments with low wave exposure and probable euryhaline conditions are clearly the most favourable to the accumulation and the preservation of fossil plants. These early Liassic palaeofloras, among the southernmost yet reported for Laurasia, are of significance for the plant geography and global paleoecology at that time. 相似文献

Well-preserved specimens of Stauropteris oldhamia are described. The material was collected in the early 1920s from the Lower Westphalian (Early Pennsylvanian) Saurue seam from Belgium. The fossil plants occur as permineralized axes fragments within a coal ball. This study confirms most of the interpretations made by previous researchers. The observation of immature axis however suggests a less regular organization than previously interpreted beyond the three first branching orders. We also highlight the presence of profusely and dichotomously branched aphlebiae, the lack of laminate organs as well as the presence of hypodermal aerenchyma in all plant parts. We interpret these features as part of a very specialized assimilatory apparatus indicating an adaptation to a humid swamp environment. 相似文献

Multiple osteochondral grafts can be used to resurface large joint defects in both humans and horses. In humans, immediate postoperative weight bearing can be prevented, however in the equine, it is unavoidable. Early weight bearing can create detrimental graft micromotion. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of a bioresorbable cement in improving the initial stability of multiple osteochondral graft repairs of large subchondral cystic lesions in the horse. Configurations employed for filling a 20mm diameter cylindrical defect included: (A) twelve 4.5mm diameter grafts with cement, (B) five 6.5mm diameter grafts with cement, (C) four each of 4.5mm and 6.5mm grafts with cement and (D) cement only. Intact bone slices (E) were also tested. Push-out tests were used to quantify construct to host sidewall interface fixation. Configuration (A) proved clinically impractical (n=3). Configurations (B) (n=6), and (C) (n=4) had statistically similar interface stiffnesses and failure stresses (43+/-8 and 30+/-12 MPa and 0.96+/-0.1 and 1.2+/-0.3 Mpa, respectively) suggesting that they are equally susceptible to interface movement in the immediate postoperative period. By way of comparison, defects filled only with cement had an average stiffness of 53+/-7MPa and failure stress of 1.8+/-0.3 MPa (n=6) while the intact femoral condyle demonstrated a stiffness of 108+/-7 MPa and failure stress of 18+/-0.4 MPa (n=6). Cement augmentation improved immediate postoperative stability of multiple osteochondral graft constructs over uncemented constructs, although in all cases the observed moduli of elasticity and yield stress values were lower than those observed for cement only and intact bone test specimens.

The late Miocene North African mammalianassemblage is considered here from three viewpoints: survivals, extinctions, and immigrations. The Eurasiatic affinities of the large mammals slightly prevail over the Ethiopian affinities. Amongst the North African large mammals, 4 to 8 taxa are Eurasiatic immigrants, while 4 to 6 are of Subsaharian origin. Contrarily, the micromammalian fauna is highly endemic, with only one species, a murid (Paraethomys miocaenicus), considered here as being related to an Asiatic form (Karnimata darwini). Our study of Eurasian and African Miocene faunas reveals that during the late Astaracian-early Turolian interval, the Saharo-Arabic belt permitted very little latitudinal faunal exchanges. However, during the middle and late Turolian such faunal exchanges became frequent. The micromammal record unequivocally indicates that a brief period of faunal exchange occurred between Africa and western Europe at the end of the Miocene, corresponding with the Messinian Salinity Crisis. The increased intercontinental faunal exchange between Africa and Eurasia during the late Miocene coincides with, and counterbalances the extinction of more than 10 taxa at the Mio/Pliocene boundary. 相似文献

Experimental models can be used for pre-clinical testing of cemented and other type of hip replacements. Total hip replacement (THR) failure scenarios include, among others, cement damage accumulation and the assessment of accurate stress and strain magnitudes at the cement mantle interfaces (stem-cement and cement-bone) can be used to predict mechanical failure. The aseptic loosening scenario in cemented hip replacements is currently not fully understood, and methods of evaluating medical devices must be developed to improve clinical performance. Different results and conclusions concerning the cement micro-cracking mechanism have been reported.The aim of this study was to verify the in vitro behavior of two cemented femoral stems with respect to fatigue crack formation. Fatigue crack damage was assessed at the medial, lateral, anterior and posterior sides of the Lubinus SPII and Charnley stems. All stems were loaded and tested in stair climbing fatigue loading during one million cycles at 2 Hz. After the experiments each implanted synthetic femur was sectioned and analyzed. We observed more damage (cracks per area) for the Lubinus SPII stem, mainly on the proximal part of the cement mantle. The micro-cracking formation initiated in the stem–cement interface and grew towards the direction of cortical bone of the femur.Overall, the cement–bone interface seems to be crucial for the success of the hip replacement. The Charnley stem provoked more damage on the cement–bone interface. A failure index (maximum length of crack/maximum thickness of cement) considered was higher for the cement–stem interface of the Lubinus SPII stem. For a cement mantle thickness higher than 5 mm, cracking initiated at the cement–bone interface and depended on the opening canal process (reaming procedure and instrumentation). The analysis also showed that fatigue-induced damage on the cement mantle, increasing proximally, and depended on the axial position of the stem. The cement thickness is an important factor for the success of THR and this study evidenced that cement thickness higher than 2 mm apparently does not affect the mechanical behavior of the cement mantel and induce more crack formation on the cement–bone interface. 相似文献
