A new model to predict in vivo human knee kinematics under physiological-like muscle activation
(2007)
Dieser Report enthält die Ergebnisse der Untersuchungen, die gemäss dem Forschungs-- und Entwicklungsvertrag Gravity zwischen dem GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam und dem Konrad--Zuse--Zentrum Berlin vorgenommen wurden. Die damit vereinbarte wissenschaftliche Kooperation hat die folgenden Ziele: \item{die am GFZ vorhandenen Algorithmen und Softwaremodule auf ihre Effizienz hisichtlich Nutzung der Rechnerresourcen zu untersuchen und Lösungen für einen schnelleren Datendurchsatz zu entwickeln und zu implementieren,} \item{Methoden zur Regularisierung und Lösung schlecht konditionierter Normalgleichungssysteme (für Schwerefeldkoeffizienten) kritisch zu untersuchen und eine mathematisch objektive Strategie der Regularisierung zu entwickeln, und} \item{insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Anforderungen bei GRACE, verschiedene Bahnintegrationsverfahren hinsichtlich ihrer numerischen Genauigkeit und Einsatzmöglichkeiten zu untersuchen.}
We present an overview of the current status of the European collaborative
project PAEON. The challenge of PAEON is to provide specialists in reproduc-
tive medicine with a computerised model of the menstrual cycle under normal
and various pathological conditions, which will allow them to get further in-
sight in fertility dynamics. This model also enables the simulation of treatment
protocols, which were used within in vitro fertilization. By the definition of
virtual patients through biologically admissible parametrizations our approach
allows not only the evaluation of a given treatment strategy in silico, but also
the design and optimization of such protocols. Once a protocol is formalized
in the virtual hospital, the success can be controlled by a treatment execution
monitor, which works then as a clinical decision support system. All these tools
will be combined in a virtual hospital environment, enabling the access to the
PAEON services through the web.
Our project aimed at building an in silico model based on our recently developed in vitro osteoarthritis (OA) model seeking for refinement of the model to enhance validity and translatability towards the more sophisticated simulation of OA. In detail, the previously 3D in vitro model is based on 3D chondrogenic constructs generated solely from human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs). Besides studying the normal state of the model over 3 weeks, the in vitro model was treated with interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) to mimic an OA-like environment.
