Heat Engines

3.6K
A heat engine is a device used to extract heat from a source and then convert it into mechanical work used for various applications. For example, a steam engine on an old-style train can produce the work needed for driving the train.
Whenever we consider heat engines (and associated devices such as refrigerators and heat pumps), we do not use the standard sign convention for heat and work. For convenience, we assume that the symbols Qh, Qc, and W represent only the amounts of heat transferred...

Spongy Bone01:09

Spongy Bone

7.6K
All bones comprise an outer layer of compact bone, and an interior made up of spongy bone tissue, also called cancellous or trabecular bone. In long bones, spongy bone tissue is mainly found in the interior of the epiphyses (broad ends of the bone).
Spongy bone is more porous, and less dense compared to compact bone. It is composed of concentric lamellae that are arranged irregularly to form the trabecular network. In some bones, the spaces between trabeculae contain red marrow, where...

Compact Bone01:27

Compact Bone

16.2K
Most bones contain compact and spongy osseous tissue, but their distribution and concentration vary based on the bone's overall function.
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...

Bone Disorders01:29

Bone Disorders

5.1K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

The Hyoid Bone01:12

The Hyoid Bone

4.8K
The hyoid bone is a small U-shaped bone located in the upper neck at the level of the inferior mandible, with its tips pointing posteriorly. It does not directly articulate with any other bone in the body. The hyoid acts as the attachment site for the tongue, the larynx, and the pharynx. It is held in position by a series of small muscles attached from above or below. These muscles help to move the hyoid up/down or forward/back in coordination with movements of the tongue, larynx, and pharynx...

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Bone tissue engineering aims to restore bone defects using scaffolds and cells.
  • Current models often lack quantitative data or clinical relevance.
  • Developing effective bone regeneration strategies requires robust preclinical models.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a large animal model for bone tissue engineering using sheep.
  • To quantitatively assess the impact of bioactive factors within bone grafts.
  • To simulate clinical needs and methods for bone regeneration.

Main Methods:

  • Skeletally mature sheep (n=20) received hollow chambers implanted against rib periosteum.
  • Chambers were filled with autologous bone graft (MBG), denatured bone graft (DeMBG), or were empty (control).
  • Samples were harvested at 3, 6, 9, 12, and 24 weeks for quantitative analysis.

Main Results:

  • MBG chambers maintained tissue volume best, though volume decreased over time.
  • Continuous active bone formation was observed in MBG chambers.
  • Osteogenesis penetrated up to 0.75 cm from the periosteum by 9 weeks, with peak area at 12 weeks.

Conclusions:

  • The ovine model provides quantitative data on bone formation and tissue volume.
  • Autologous bone grafts (MBG) enhance bone regeneration compared to scaffold-only or denatured grafts.
  • This model is suitable for developing and validating clinical osseous tissue-engineering strategies.
