鲨鱼软骨质量的聚类分析法

用电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱法（ＩＣＰ－ＡＥＳ）测定了１８个鲨鱼软骨真品中１３个元素含量，对测定结果进行分析和变量聚类分析，抽提５个特征指标，并以谱系数聚类建立了鉴别鲨鱼软骨真伪的数学模式，用３个假冒产品和一个鲨鱼软骨胶囊对其进行检验，结果表明，用无机元素所建立的数学模式不仅能鉴别鲨鱼软骨的真伪，还能区分鲨鱼软骨的部分及不同部位的混合物。

Applications of Vibrational Spectroscopy for Analysis of Connective Tissues

Advances in vibrational spectroscopy have propelled new insights into the molecular composition and structure of biological tissues. In this review, we discuss common modalities and techniques of vibrational spectroscopy, and present key examples to illustrate how they have been applied to enrich the assessment of connective tissues. In particular, we focus on applications of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), near infrared (NIR) and Raman spectroscopy to assess cartilage and bone properties. We present strengths and limitations of each approach and discuss how the combination of spectrometers with microscopes (hyperspectral imaging) and fiber optic probes have greatly advanced their biomedical applications. We show how these modalities may be used to evaluate virtually any type of sample (ex vivo, in situ or in vivo) and how “spectral fingerprints” can be interpreted to quantify outcomes related to tissue composition and quality. We highlight the unparalleled advantage of vibrational spectroscopy as a label-free and often nondestructive approach to assess properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) associated with normal, developing, aging, pathological and treated tissues. We believe this review will assist readers not only in better understanding applications of FTIR, NIR and Raman spectroscopy, but also in implementing these approaches for their own research projects.     

两种润滑介质下关节软骨摩擦行为的对比研究

通过对两种润滑介质下关节软骨摩擦行为的对比研究,探讨软骨摩擦行为的影响因素.以牛膝关节软骨为摩擦副,以生理盐水和50%小牛血清溶液为润滑介质,在UMT-2试验机上分别测定软骨摩擦副的接触变形和摩擦系数,以及两种润滑介质在软骨表面的接触角.结果表明:滑动时接触变形是由软骨变形量和波动变形组成,软骨变形量与时间呈非线性增加,波动变形与时间呈周期非线性变化;软骨表面轮廓对波动变形和摩擦系数有着显著的影响;生理盐水的接触角低于小牛血清溶液的接触角,生理盐水的软骨变形量和摩擦系数均略高于小牛血清溶液的变形量和摩擦系数,其差异可能是边界润滑的效果.     

Novel calorimetric investigation of different degenerative disorders of the human hyaline cartilage

The purpose of this investigation was to further elucidate calorimetric properties of cartilage samples from femoral head necrosis and osteoarthritis from live surgeries. The natural course of this disease is one of steady progression with eventual collapse of the femoral head, followed by secondary osteoarthritis in the hip joint. All samples showed a clear denaturation peak on the calorimetric curve. Cartilage obtained from necrotic femoral head required the lowest amount of energy for decomposition. The use differential scanning calorimetry as part of thermal analysis was a reliable method for differentiating.
