Is magnetic resonance imaging suitable for interpretation of meniscal status ten years after arthroscopic repair?
Several abnormal vertical and/or horizontal hypersignals are still present on MRI examination ten years after arthroscopic all-inside meniscal repair. The appearance of early signs of osteoarthritis is rare, suggesting a chondroprotective effect of the repaired meniscus.
In rat prostate membranes, VPAC(1) receptors are largely predominant. Binding studies were compatible with a ratio of 80/20 of VPAC(1)/VPAC(2) receptors, whereas functionally only VPAC(1) receptors were detected.
