Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study was performed to investigate the effect of ultrasound irradiation on TGF-beta_1 expression in the surgically injured achilles tendons of rats. The results of this study were as following: 1. The control group (3 days after injury) expressed little immunoreactivity for TGF-beta_1. 2. In the experimental groups, TGF-beta_1 immunoreactivity of group 11(applied US for 3 days) was increased markedly than that of group 1(applied US for 1 day). 3, The experimental group 11(applied US for 3 days) expressed higher immunoreactivity for TGF-beta_1 than control group. These findings suggest that ultrasound irradiation on the injured Achilles tendon may be of benefit such as increasing TGF-beta release in the inflammatory phase of heal ins process.
