Inhibitory effects of prolonged vibratory stimulus on the maximal voluntary contraction force and muscle activity of the triceps brachii

, 2020
Objective: Muscle co-contraction is recognized as an important cause of the loss of elbow motion. In clinical practice, muscle guarding of the triceps brachii is often observed to cause elbow co-contraction with the biceps brachii and brachialis. Local vibration is widely used for the reduction of muscle[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]

Macrophage Membrane‐Camouflaged Nanozyme Microneedles Restore Immunovascular Homeostasis Through SPP1‐ApoE Signaling in Diabetic Wounds

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Macrophage membrane‐coated Cu/Zn‐MOF nanozyme microneedles (MNs) reprogram the diabetic wound microenvironment through localized, minimally invasive delivery. By suppressing M1‐like macrophage activation while promoting extracellular matrix deposition and angiogenesis, this biomimetic platform accelerates diabetic wound repair.

Multifunctional Thiolated Hyaluronic Acid‐graft‐PEDOT Dressing With Antifouling, On‐Demand Drug Delivery and Electrical Stimulation for Wound Healing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A multifunctional P(EDOT‐co‐EDOT‐g‐THA) dressing acts as a dynamic biointerface integrating antifouling capability, on‐demand drug delivery, and electrical stimulation. It achieves electrochemically triggered thiolated hyaluronic acid (THA) release while modulating cellular responses for wound healing application.

Proprioceptive movement illusions due to prolonged stimulation: reversals and aftereffects.

PLoS ONE, 2007
BackgroundAdaptation to constant stimulation has often been used to investigate the mechanisms of perceptual coding, but the adaptive processes within the proprioceptive channels that encode body movement have not been well described.

A Hybrid Reaction–Diffusion and Mechanical Stimulus Model for Mandibular Bone Remodeling under Chewing and Vibratory Loading

Journal of Theoretical Biology
Abstract Bone remodeling in the mandible is governed by the interplay between local mechanical loads, cellular population dynamics, and overload-induced resorption. While mastication is the primary physiological driver of mandibular adaptation, low-magnitude vibration has emerged as a promising noninvasive adjunct to enhance peri ...

Effectiveness of active middle ear implant placement methods in pathological conditions: basilar membrane vibration simulation

Frontiers in Neurology
Active middle ear implants (AMEI) amplify mechanical vibrations in the middle ear and transmit them to the cochlea. The AMEI includes a floating mass transducer (FMT) that can be placed using two different surgical approaches: “oval window (OW ...
