Objective:

TMJ arthritis is common in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Condylar height loss can shift mandibular loading and increase compressive TMJ stress, which may persist even when synovitis is controlled with biologics. We hypothesize that light elastics delivered via anchorage devices (TADs) can partially unload the joint.

Methods:

This hypothesis driven biomechanical model integrates condylar support loss, lever geometry, hyperdivergent susceptibility, and feasibility of routing low forces through a perioral soft tissue corridor. A cephalad inter implant elastic vector of ~25 to 50 g is evaluated.

Results:

Condylar height loss is predicted to promote backward mandibular rotation about the pterygomasseteric sling, increasing compression and vertical destabilization, especially in leptoprosopic patterns. The cephalad elastic vector is predicted to generate a counter moment, support posterior vertical neutrality, and reduce joint reaction forces.

Conclusion:

A low force, TAD based adjunct may complement systemic therapy by addressing loading. Imaging studies are needed to confirm.

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints

Joints form during embryonic development in conjunction with the formation and growth of the associated bones. The embryonic tissue that gives rise to all bones, cartilage, and connective tissues of the body is called mesenchyme.
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway

Several cytokine receptors have tightly bound Janus kinase or JAK proteins attached at their cytosolic tail. Small signaling molecules such as cytokines, growth hormones, or prolactins bind to the cytokine receptors and initiate their dimerization. The dimerization brings the cytosolic JAKs together that trans-phosphorylate and activates each other. The activated JAKs now phosphorylate cytosolic tails of the cytokine receptors, which serve as binding sites for adaptor proteins such as SH2...
