A Novel Burn / Synovectomy Mouse Model for Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis
Hsu, G. C.-Y.
Show abstract
Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs) is present in 33% of the U.S. population. Currently available animal models do not faithfully simulate the native disease progression of TMJ OA. The initiation of TMJ OA requires both local trauma and systemic inflammation. In this study, we present a novel mouse model which reproduces these two conditions. This is achieved by a procedure involving both synovectomy (local trauma) and a distant burn injury (systemic inflammation). Its efficacy at inducing TMJ OA was assessed with histomorphology and radiographic evaluation at 1,3, and 9 weeks after the procedure. We found that burn/synovectomy mice demonstrated significantly more degenerative hard and soft tissue changes in TMJ than uninjured control mice or synovotomy mice. The observed histology in burn/synoectomy mice mimicked native TMJ OA disease progression in a faithful manner. This animal model is invaluable in future research of the mechanism and risk factors of TMJ OA.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
