| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By control of the abnormal articulation, it was examined the factors to heal of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee.
1) Time courses of MMP and collagen in the ACL during the healing process. After the day 14, and mRNA of MMP-13 were significantly suppressed, and the mRNA related to collagen synthesis was increased by the joint control. 2) Compare with the tumor necrosis factor the dynamics of NF-kB in the healing process. MRNA expression levels of NF-kB in the joint control over time increases, mRNA expression level of TNF-α was decreased with time. 3) Temporal changes of Caspase-3 by the joint control. Caspase-3 in the ACL after injury was expressed with the regression or disappearance of removal and organization of unwanted cells. Suppression of abnormal joint movement has been shown the potential to promote the natural healing of the ACL.
