Abstract

Objective:

To observe the effect of fibrous capsule to prevent the flexor tendon adhesion.

Methods:

Six bum patients with 33 digits were treated with the fibrous capsule of the expanded flaps which was used to wrap the exposed flexor tendon in zone III in order to prevent the flexor tendon adhesion.

Results:

From 1999-2001 ,all of the patients were followed up to 1-3 years. The functions, assessed with the TAM method, were excellent in 18 digits, fair in three and poor in one. The excellent and good rate was 87.88%.

Conclusion:

The fibrous capsule could be used to prevent or reduce the tendon adhesion.

Fibril-associated Collagen

Fibril-associated Collagen

Fibril-associated collagens are a type of collagens present in the extracellular matrix with interrupted triple helices or FACIT (Fibril-associated collagens interrupted triple-helices). FACIT help connect and attach the collagen fibrils with each other as well as with other proteins of the extracellular matrix.
For example, the type II collagen fibrils in cartilage have covalently bound type IX fibril-associated collagens at regular intervals. Other types of fibril-associated collagens are...

Cell-matrix's Response to Mechanical Forces

Cell-matrix's Response to Mechanical Forces

In animal cells, the extracellular matrix allows cells within tissues to withstand external stresses and transmits signals from the outside of the cell to the inside. The extracellular matrix is extensive, and its composition varies between different types of tissues. For example, the reticular fibers and ground substance make up the ECM in loose connective tissue, while collagen and bone minerals make up the ECM of bone tissue.
Anchoring junctions mechanically attach a cell to the...

Gross Anatomy of Skeletal Muscles

Gross Anatomy of Skeletal Muscles

The connective tissues play a significant role in arranging the muscle fibers into a hierarchical structure that forms a complete muscle. Consider a muscle like the bicep brachii, commonly called the bicep. This muscle comprises thousands of muscle fibers enclosed by a protective layer of connective tissue called the endomysium. The endomysium is primarily composed of reticular fibers, a type of thin collagen fiber. It allows the exchange of nutrients and waste products at the fiber level,...
