Understanding the mechanics of the mitral valve is crucial in terms of designing and evaluating medical devices and techniques for mitral valve repair. In the current study we characterize the in vivo strains of the anterior mitral valve leaflet. On cardiopulmonary bypass, we sew miniature markers onto the leaflets of 57 sheep. During the cardiac cycle, the coordinates of these markers are recorded via biplane fluoroscopy. From the resulting four-dimensional data sets, we calculate areal, maximum principal, circumferential, and radial leaflet strains and display their profiles on the averaged leaflet geometry. Average peak areal strains are 13.8 +/- 6.3%, maximum principal strains are 13.0 +/- 4.7%, circumferential strains are 5.0 +/- 2.7%, and radial strains are 7.8 +/- 4.3%. Maximum principal strains are largest in the belly region, where they are aligned with the circumferential direction during diastole switching into the radial direction during systole. Circumferential strains are concentrated at the distal portion of the belly region close to the free edge of the leaflet, while radial strains are highest in the center of the leaflet, stretching from the posterior to the anterior commissure. In summary, leaflet strains display significant temporal, regional, and directional variations with largest values inside the belly region and toward the free edge. Characterizing strain distribution profiles might be of particular clinical significance when optimizing mitral valve repair techniques in terms of forces on suture lines and on medical devices.

Predicting bone remodeling around tissue- and bone-level dental implants used in reduced bone width Eser, Atilim; Tönük, Ergin; Akça, Kıvanç; Dard, Michel M.; Cehreli, Murat Cavit (Elsevier BV, 2013-09-03) The objective of this study was to predict time-dependent bone remodeling around tissue- and bone-level dental implants used in patients with reduced bone width. The remodeling of bone around titanium tissue-level, and titanium and titanium-zirconium alloy bone-level implants was studied under 100 N oblique load for one month by implementing the Stanford theory into three-dimensional finite element models. Maximum principal stress, minimum principal stress, and strain energy density in pen-implant bone and ...
In vitro and in vivo evaluation of the effects of demineralized bone matrix or calcium sulfate addition to polycaprolactone-bioglass composites ERDEMLİ, ÖZGE; Captug, O.; Bilgili, H.; ORHAN, DİCLEHAN; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Keskin, Dilek (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-01-01) The objective of this study was to improve the efficacy of polycaprolactone/bioglass (PCL/BG) bone substitute using demineralized bone matrix (DBM) or calcium sulfate (CS) as a third component. Composite discs involving either DBM or CS were prepared by compression moulding. Bioactivity of discs was evaluated by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (ESCA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) following simulated body fluid incubation. The closest Calcium/Phosphate ratio to that of hydroxyl carbonate apatit...
Vibration measurements predict the mechanical properties of human tibia Bediz, Bekir; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Korkusuz, Feza (Elsevier BV, 2010-05-01) Background: Vibration analysis is a promising technique in diagnosing metabolic bone diseases such as osteoporosis and monitoring fracture healing. The aim of this study is to observe the structural dynamic property changes of the tibia extracted from the vibration analysis data.
A Study of Prosthetic Heart Valve Sounds Koymen, Hayrettin; Altay, Bulent K.; Ider, Yusuf Ziya (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1987-11) In this paper a new mechanism is proposed for the generation of phonocardiogram (PCG) sounds from implanted mechanical prosthetic heart valves. The structures in the chest, the heart, its partitions, and major vessels, constitute a frequency selective system excited by the rapidly decelerating valve occluder. It is shown that the source, the rapidly decelerating valve, has a wide and flat power spectrum and hence is an impulsive excitation that couples energy to the resonance modes specified by the structur...
