## Abstract We investigated whether __N__‐acetylcysteine (NAC), a precursor of glutathione, could protect rabbit articular chondrocytes against nitric oxide (NO)‐induced apoptosis and could prevent cartilage destruction in an experimental model of osteoarthritis (OA) in rats. Isolated chondrocytes

Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is a frequent cause of respiratory distress in term infants. Recent reports suggested that surfactant dysfunction contributes to the pathophysiology of MAS. In the present study, we assessed the effect of three different concentrations of surfactant suspensions in
Although there are many studies of the neuropathology of the ischemic degeneration of peripheral nerves, the pathogenesis is not wellunderstood. The roles of several biomolecules on this process were previously reported. An adhesion molecule, fibronectin, which is applied locally (as a conduit mater
## Abstract Proinflammatory cytokine, nitric oxide (NO) and localized hypoxia‐induced apoptosis and proteoglycan (PG) degradation are thought to be correlated to the degree of cartilage injury. This study evaluated hyperbaric oxygen (HBO)‐induced changes in joint cavity oxygen tension, antigenicker
