The influence of mechanical loading on the knee-joint. Animal-experimental examinations.

A physiological maximal loading of the knee-joint of sheep is simulated by a 4-hour peak overloading of 24.5 N and a frequency of 42 impulses per minute. The reactions of articular cartilage, synovia and periarticular muscular tissue to the load were examined histologically, histochemically and biochemically. 20 hours after the loading we could observe a leucocytic influx into the joint and a metabolic hyperactivity in the examined tissue. The changes found during this acute phase are reversible as 180 days after peak overloading the parameters detected to be changed had returned to normal again.

[Monoiodoacetic acid-induced arthropathy of the rabbit knee--a contribution to the pathogenesis of arthrosis].

A chemically-induced joint degeneration was produced by an one-time intraarticular injection of the glycolysis inhibitor monoiodic acetate into the rabbit knee joint (32 joints of 16 rabbits + 4 control animals). The investigation is founded on Kalbhen's animal model of osteoarthrosis and on Salter's and Moskowitz' experiments. Histomorphological examinations were done in intervals of 1 day to 12 weeks. The results raise several open questions in experimental as well as clinical aspects. On that account these results were discussed pathogenetically in the view of the own pathophysiological and biocybernetical conception of osteoarthrosis development.

[Pathophysiologic aspects of inflammatory and degenerative joint diseases].

Authors describe the physiological particularities of components of articular system (cartilage, synovialis, synovia, subchondral bone, ligamentous and neuromuscular apparatus). The essential resultant pathophysiological pattern in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are demonstrated. Differences between temporary attendant synovitis in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are pointed out.

Myopathy induced by clofibrate treatment in normolipaemic patients.

On the basis of the occurrence of myopathy in a clofibric acid treated child with diabetes insipidus, three other children with the same diseases were examined in order to find indications for a myopathic side-effect of the drug. When the children were found to have increased creatine phosphokinase activity and EMG changes, two of the authors took clofibric acid themselves. In both test persons subclinical myopathy was produced. After stopping the drug, transitional hypertriglyceridaemia occurred. These side-effects should serve as a warning of an uncritical application of clofibric acid and its esters.

[Cryogenic injuries of the rabbit abdominal aorta and the iliac artery].

In rabbits, cryogenic injuries of the walls of abdominal aorta and iliac arteries were histologically examined after application of a cryoprobe ob -160 degrees C for 1 minute. Seven days thereafter the animals were killed. Extended partial and circular necroses and calcifications of the vascular walls were found. The alterations were less expressed when the blood stream was maintaimed during the freezing. Maximal changes occured at additional centripetal pinching the vessels.
