Jui‐Ming Yang, Chien‐Kuo Wang, Wei‐Chin Lin, Chung‐Yi Li, more

Journal of Orthopaedic Research® > 41 > 1 > 235 - 240

We compared the accuracy of the fluoroscopic dorsal tangential view (DTV) and an ultrasound (US) examination in detecting dorsal screw penetration during volar distal radius plating. In six fresh cadaveric distal radii, seven periarticular locking screws in two rows for each plate were inserted according to the measured length using a depth gauge and then replaced with another that was 1 and 2 mm...

High molecular weight form of hyaluronic acid reduces neuroinflammatory response in injured sciatic nerve via the intracellular domain of CD44

I‐Ming Jou, Tung‐Tai Wu, Che‐Chia Hsu, Cheng‐Chang Yang, more

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials > 109 > 5 > 673 - 680

Inflammatory response after peripheral nerve injury is required for clearance of tissue debris and effective regeneration. Studies have revealed that hyaluronic acid (HA) may exert different properties depending on their molecular size. High molecular weight HA (>>1,000 kDa; HMW‐HA) displays immunosuppressive properties, whereas low molecular weight HA (<800 kDa; LMW‐HA) induces proinflammatory...

Schwann-Cell Autophagy, Functional Recovery, and Scar Reduction After Peripheral Nerve Repair

Po-Yen Ko, Cheng-Chang Yang, Yao-Lung Kuo, Fong-Chin Su, more

Journal of Molecular Neuroscience > 2018 > 64 > 4 > 601-610

The functional outcome after peripheral nerve repair is often unpredictable for many reasons, e.g., the severity of neuronal death and scarring. Axonal degeneration significantly affects outcomes. Post-injury axonal degeneration in peripheral nerves is accompanied by myelin degradation initiated by Schwann cells (SCs), which activate autophagy, a ubiquitous cytoprotective process essential for degrading...

Tendon-motion tracking in an ultrasound image sequence using optical-flow-based block matching

Bo-I Chuang, Jian-Han Hsu, Li-Chieh Kuo, I-Ming Jou, more

BioMedical Engineering OnLine > 2017 > 16 > 1 > 1-19

Background Tendon motion, which is commonly observed using ultrasound imaging, is one of the most important features used in tendinopathy diagnosis. However, speckle noise and out-of-plane issues make the tracking process difficult. Manual tracking is usually time consuming and often yields inconsistent results between users. Methods To automatically track tendon motion in ultrasound images, we...

Po-Tsun Chen, Chien-Ju Lin, Hsiao-Feng Chieh, Li-Chieh Kuo, more

Measurement > 2016 > 85 > C > 124-131

Completing a functional grasping task with five digits requires the control of numerous degrees of freedom in digit force. However, the waveform repeatability of applied force during such tasks remains unknown. This study aimed to analyze the waveform repeatability of force in each digit during grasping. Twenty right-handed subjects were recruited. The digit forces in radial and longitudinal directions...

Chien-Shien Yeh, Ming-Shaung Ju, Yuri Martynenko, Irina Goryacheva, more

IFMBE Proceedings > 6th World Congress of Biomechanics (WCB 2010). August 1-6, 2010 Singapore > Theme 6: Materials, Tools, Devices and Techniques > 1270-1273

Palpation is an important procedure for surgeons to diagnose pathology of soft tissues of internal organs such as the liver and the stomach. A vision-based tactile sensor system to aid the surgeons in diagnosis of soft tissues was developed. The sensor was consisted of a CCD, a focusing lens, and a spherical shell sensor head made of transparent PDMS. The CCD can quantify the contact area between...
