We examined the anatomical structure of a ligament (ligamentum meniscofibulare) between apex fibulae and lateral meniscus by macroscopic and microscopic dissection and transillumination method in 50 knees of 25 cadavers (5 were fresh). We analyzed the function of this ligament, which runs between the head of the fibulae and lateral meniscus. The existence of a connection between knee joint and proximal tibiofibular joint was demonstrated by injecting colored liquid into the knee joint space and transillumination. The mensicofibular ligament is a capsular ligament originating from the lateral meniscus that is anterior to the popliteal muscle tendon. The meniscofibular ligament, which is attached to fibula with rotatory motion at one end and to the lateral meniscus at the other, is believed to position the lateral meniscus and therefore to play a key role in the knee joint.

An Experimental study of mechanical properties of non enzymatically glycated bovine femur cortical bone Fındıkoğlu, Gülin; Evis, Zafer; Department of Engineering Sciences (2012) The aim of this study is to investigate the deterioration in mechanical integrity of the collagen network in bovine bone with aging, which are related to fracture toughness. Age-related changes in collagen molecular structures formed by non-enzymatic glycation were examined and indentation fracture technique was used as a method for measuring the microstructural toughness of cortical bone. Microcrack propagation characteristics of bone for fragility were also studied. Young and old group of bovine cortical ...
The molecular investigation of the effects of simvastatin, a cholesterol reducing drug, on different rat skeletal muscle tissues Şimşek Özek, Nihal; Severcan, Feride; Department of Biology (2007) In the present study Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Attenuated Total Reflectance FTIR (ATR-FTIR) Spectroscopy were used to examine the effects of simvastatin on structure, composition and function of macromolecules of three different rat skeletal muscles EDL (Extensor Digitorium Longus), DIA (Diaphragm) and SOL (Soleus) containing different amount of slow and fast twitch fibers, at molecular level. Simvastatin, a lipophilic statin, is widely used in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and cardiovas...
The evaluation of some flexural properties of a denture base resin reinforced with various aesthetic fibers DOĞAN, ORHAN MURAT; Bolayir, Giray; Keskin, Selda; DOĞAN, ARİFE; Bek, Buelent (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-06-01) This study was performed to determine whether some flexural properties of a denture base resin material could be improved through reinforcement with five types of aesthetic fibers at 3% concentration by weight and in 2, 4, and 6 mm length. Five specimens of similar dimensions were prepared for each of the test groups; base resin and the same resin with glass, rayon, polyester, nylon 6 and nylon 6,6 fibers in three different lengths. Flexural properties were evaluated by using a 3-point bending test. A visua...
An in vivo study on the effect of scaffold geometry and growth factor release on the healing of bone defects Yilgor, P.; Yilmaz, G.; Onal, M. B.; Solmaz, I.; Gundogdu, S.; Keskil, S.; Sousa, R. A.; Reis, R. L.; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2013-09-01) The hypothesis of this study was that the extent of bone regeneration could be enhanced by using scaffolds with appropriate geometry, and that such an effect could be further increased by mimicking the natural timing of appearance of bone morphogenetic proteins BMP-2 and BMP-7 after fracture. Bioplotted poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) disks with four different fibre organizations were used to study the effect of 3D scaffold architecture on the healing of bone defects in a rat pelvis model. Moreover, one PC...
A multiscale model for eccentric and concentric cardiac growth through sarcomerogenesis Göktepe, Serdar; Parker, Kit; Kuhl, Ellen (2010-08-07) We present a novel computational model for maladaptive cardiac growth in which kinematic changes of the cardiac chambers are attributed to alterations in cytoskeletal architecture and in cellular morphology. We adopt the concept of finite volume growth characterized through the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into an elastic part and a growth part. The functional form of its growth tensor is correlated to sarcomerogenesis, the creation and deposition of new sarcomere units. In respo...
