Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To discern the effects of continuous passive motion on inflamed temporomandibular joints (TMJ). METHODS: The effects of continuous passive motion on TMJ were simulated by exposing primary cultures of rabbit TMJ fibrochondrocyte monolayers to cyclic tensile strain (CTS) in the presence of recombinant human interleukin-1beta (rHuIL-1beta) in vitro. The messenger RNA (mRNA) induction of rHuIL-1beta...
