▼ Spinal stenosis is a degenerative process, caused by progressive narrowing of the lumbar spinal canal and neural foramen, leading to a constriction of the nerve roots of the cauda equina. Currently, facetectomy and laminectomy combined with fusion are the standard methods of decompression for the degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis with resultant alteration in established inter-relationships between various vertebral column components. However due to myriad of degenerative complications at the fused level and adjacent level degeneration, numerous new posterior dynamic stabilization systems have been developed. The objective of this biomechanical study was to investigate the influence of different grades of factectomy, spinal decompression and laminectomy procedures in conjunction with various dynamic stabilization implants viz. Dynesys, In-Space spacer and Stabilimax. A validated, 3-D, nonlinear finite element model of the intact L3-S1 lumbar spine was used to evaluate the biomechanics of these devices. The load control protocol was used to evaluate these devices. Various biomechanically relevant parameters like range of motion, facet loading, disc stresses were evaluated. An in vitro study was also performed comparing Dynesys with novel PEEK Rod dynamic stabilization system for decompression surgery with discectomy.The finite element results showed that the Dynesys and Stabilimax systems were capable of stabilizing the decompression surgery in flexion, extension and lateral bending. The In-Space spacer effectively reduced motion in extension and did not interfere with motion in other loading modes at the implanted level. All the systems were capable of loading through the intervertebral disc. Results also showed that after complete facetectomy the systems did not restore stability in axial rotation.Further a cadaveric study was to done to compare the Dynesys stabilization system with that of a novel PEEK rod pedicle screw stabilization system after simulating decompression surgery. The biomechanical comparison of monosegmental fixation on L4-L5 and bi-segmental fixation of L3-L5 as topping off procedure with fusion were done for this study. The predicted range of motion for the PEEK rod stabilization system was consistent with the Dynesys for monosegmental fixation. Advisors/Committee Members: Goel, Vijay (Advisor).

▼ Understanding how cellular processes of an organism translate its genome into its phenotype is one of the grand challenges in biology. Linkage studies seek to identify allelic variants that manifest themselves as phenotypic variation between individuals in a population. The advent of high-throughput genotyping and gene expression profiling technologies has made it possible to use messenger RNA levels as quantitative traits in linkage studies. This has created new opportunities to study genetic variation at the level of gene regulatory networks rather than individual genes. This thesis consists of four parts, each of which outlines a different strategy for integrating genome-wide expression data and genotype data in order to identify transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms. The data for these analyses comes from segregating populations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) as well as Caenorhabditis elegans (roundworm). The first study focused on inferring the in vitro binding specificity of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). We first analyzed a recent compendium of in vivo mRNA binding data to model the sequence specificity of 45 yeast RBPs in the form of a position- specific affinity matrix (PSAM). We were able to recover known consensus nucleotide sequences for 12 RBPs and discovered novel binding preferences for 3 of the RBPs namely, Scp160p, Sik1p and Tdh3p. The second study aimed to identify transacting chromosomal loci that regulate expression of a large number of genes. Traditionally, such loci are discovered by first mapping expression quantitative loci (eQTLs) for individual genes, and then looking for so-called “eQTLs hotspots”. Our method avoids the first step by integrating information across all genes, leading to a more elegant method that has increased statistical power. For yeast, we recovered 70% of the reported eQTL hotspots from two independent studies, and discovered a new transacting locus on chromosome V. For worm, we detected six transacting loci, only two of which were previously reported as eQTL hotspots. The third study focused on post-transcriptional regulatory networks in yeast, by mapping the regulatory activity level of RNA binding proteins (RBPs) as a quantitative trait in so-called “aQTL” analysis. We used the collection of 15 sequence motifs with the associated mRNA region combinations that we obtained in our first study together with mRNA expression data to estimate RBP activities across yeast segregants. Consistent with a previous study, we recovered the MKT1 locus on chromosome XIV as a genetic modulator of Puf3p activity. We also discovered that Puf3p activity is modulated through distinct loci depending on whether it is binding to 50 or 30 untranslated region (UTR) of its target mRNAs. Furthermore, we identified a locus on chromosome XV that includes the IRA2 gene as a putative aQTL for Puf4p; this prediction was validated using expression data for an IRA2 allele replacement strain. Our fourth study focused on the detection of loci whose allelic variation… Advisors/Committee Members: Bussemaker, Harmen J.Marka, Szabolcs (Advisor).

▼ Elastic and collagen fibers are the major load-bearing extracellular matrix (ECM) constituents of the vascular wall. Elastic fibers accommodate repeated cycles of extension and recoil that occur during pulsatile blood flow at lower levels of strain, whereas the recruitment of collagen fibers at higher levels of strain leads to nonlinear stiffening that protects blood vessels from overextension. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) provide a structural basis for multiple biological functions, such as the organization of ECM and the regulation of cell growth factors. There exists a complex interdependence of ECM compositional, structural, and mechanical properties. The overall goal of the research is to study the biomechanical and structural roles of different ECM constituents in vascular mechanics through coupled mechanical testing, advanced optical imaging, and microstructure-based constitutive modeling. Arteries function differently than veins in the circulatory system, however in several treatment options veins are subjected to sudden elevated arterial pressure. Our study improves the understanding of elastin and collagen fiber contribution to ECM mechanics of different vessel types. Our research demonstrates that ECM fiber distribution, recruitment, and content each play an important role in vascular function, and the important structural and functional differences between arteries and veins that should be taken into account when considering treatment options. While elastin and collagen have received extensive consideration, little is known about the biomechanical roles of GAGs in blood vessels. The mechanics of tissue with low GAG content can be indirectly affected by the interaction of GAGs with collagen fibers, which is one of the primary contributors to arterial mechanics. Our study suggests that that the interaction between GAGs and other ECM constituents plays an important role in the mechanics of the arterial wall, and GAGs should be considered in addition to elastic and collagen fibers when studying arterial function. A structure-based constitutive model was then developed to successfully predict arterial mechanics considering the contribution of GAGs to fiber recruitment. Building upon previous research, ongoing work is presented to study the fundamental yet clinically relevant structural-mechanical behavior of arterial ECM in diabetes using an integrated experimental and modeling approach.

▼ Current surgical techniques for scoliosis correction are successful in achieving good long-term outcomes. However these surgical approaches involve fusion of the spine resulting in stresses above physiologic levels on the adjacent spine segments and extensive spine exposure. Experimental surgical approaches are being explored as potential alternatives, including mechanically altering spine growth through staple hemiepiphysiodesis. The goal of staple hemiepiphysiodesis is to generate asymmetric compressive stresses across the growth plate to modulate growth rate, without critically decreasing intervertebral disc mobility. The immediate post-operative effects of spine stapling on the biomechanical properties of the spine have not been fully reported. Further, while the effects of this and related methods are a function of both loading direction and distance from the implant, no previous biomechanical study has reported bilateral differences in vertebral joint stiffness or displacement gradients as a function of loading direction or proximity to the staple. The purpose of this study was to develop a method to test whether staple hemiepiphysiodesis caused an initial coronal plane gradient in disc stiffness and mobility. In-vitro biomechanical testing, applying pure unconstrained moments with an independent axial compressive preload, is one method for evaluating treatment effects on the spine. A fixed frame cable driven test assembly capable of applying pure unconstrained moments to the specimen with an independent axial compressive preload was designed and developed. Pure moments were applied to functional spinal units before and after staple implantation to measure changes in stiffness in lateral bending, flexion/extension and axial rotation. Biomechanical tests were conducted on six thoracic functional spinal units of skeletally immature pigs in lateral bending, flexion/extension and axial rotation before and after stapling, with and without a 250 N axial compressive preload. Treatment effect was determined by paired differences for changes in vertebral joint neutral zone, tangent stiffness and displacement on the ipsilateral side. Preliminary results with only moment-rotation for the fifth loading cycle suggest there are no significant differences in joint neutral zone or tangent stiffness parameters following spinal stapling. Analysis of the displacement on the ipsilateral side in lateral bending towards the staple showed that the vertebral joint was not immobilized after stapling. Staple hemiepiphysiodesis affects the distribution of static and dynamic compressive stresses in the disc and vertebral growth plate, for the purpose of asymmetrically modulating vertebral growth. Defining initial post-operative changes is important to the timing of differential growth treatments and the identification of possible side effects. The efficacy and side effects of mechanical growth modulation likely depends on the initial biomechanical changes due to the specific treatment as well. Towards these ends, a… Advisors/Committee Members: Kim, J. (Committee Chair).

▼ Background: Injury rates among triathletes have been reported to be as high as 87%. Previous research has established that some triathletes display altered kinematics during running after cycling, compared to an isolated run. These kinematic changes include increased anterior pelvic tilt, decreased hip extension, and increased variability in stride length and time. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a hip flexor stretch performed in the brief transition period between cycling and running would result in a post-cycling (transition) run more similar to a control run. Methods: Twelve participants performed a 5-minute baseline run, a 15-minute transition run with no intervention, and a 15-minute transition run with a bilateral hip flexor stretch between the cycling and running periods. Kinematic data were collected with a Vicon motion capture system. Segment angles, joint angles and stride lengths were calculated at a single time point in the baseline run and at 3 time points in each of the transition runs. Results: Peak forward trunk lean, peak anterior pelvic tilt, peak hip extension, and peak hip flexion were significantly dependent upon run condition. Trunk lean and pelvic tilt significantly increased at all time points in both the no-stretch and stretch transition runs compared to baseline. Hip extension increased in the first minute of the stretch transition run, while hip flexion decreased in the first minute of the no-stretch transition run and in the 1 and 5-minute time points in the stretch transition run compared to baseline. Forward trunk lean and anterior pelvic tilt were lower in the stretch transition run before the 10-minute time point compared to the no-stretch transition run, though these differences were not significant. Conclusion: An intervening hip flexor stretch provided only a modest and non-significant improvement in anterior pelvic tilt and forward trunk lean in the early stages of post-cycling running. The sustained increases in anterior pelvic tilt and trunk lean suggest that hip flexor tightness is not the only factor driving kinematic changes during transition running. Further investigation is needed to determine the mechanisms of cycling’s effects on running biomechanics.

▼ Micromechanical environmental factors have significant impact on the determination of cell fate. Fluid coupled and extracellular matrix forces trigger intra- and intercellular signaling cascades critical in development, homeostasis, and disease. Microrheology is a set of tools designed to directly interrogate the micromechanical environment. Optical micromanipulation techniques offer exquisite sensitivity and high bandwidth. Oscillatory passive measures relate the Brownian motion of embedded probe particles to local complex shear modulus of viscoelastic materials. Active measures allow for the application of greater forces to actively engage the material in question. Rotational techniques provide measures of materials under flow. Herein we describe the development of an optomechanical platform for studying peri- and extracellular micromechanics. The endothelial glycocalyx layer is a complex 2 µm pericellular matrix expressed on the luminal surface of vascular endothelial cells that is thought to play critical roles in mechanotransduction and hemodynamics. Direct measures of glycocalyx material properties have been elusive. We describe passive, active, and rotational microrheology of glycocalyx mimetics to uncover micromechanical subtleties in hyaluronic acid, a primary glycocalyx constituent. Passive microrheology demonstrates the potential for transient network formation and the importance of hydrodynamic effects in hyaluronic acid solutions of physiologically relevant molecular weights and concentration. Active microrheology diverges from passive measures at frequencies above the inverse material relaxation time. Importantly, this divergence occurs at physiologic time scales. In contrast to oscillatory measures, rotational microrheology reports linear viscous behavior in glycocalyx mimetics under flow. This intrinsic micromechanical behavior of hyaluronic acid solutions may be critical in the determination of glycocalyx material properties. We develop a novel combinatorial approach to rotational microrheology allowing measurements in ‘thick’ biologically relevant samples. This technique is validated and used to map the viscosity as a function of radial distance from the endothelial cell membrane in excised porcine femoral artery. Viscosity is modulated at up to 6 µm from the endothelial cell membrane, well beyond the expected physical extent of the glycocalyx. This effect occurs at distances on the order of capillary diameters and may have profound hemodynamic consequences. Further implications with respect to glycocalyx material properties are discussed. Extracellular matrix stiffness is thought to be a profound regulator of cell fate. Bulk measures of matrix stiffness correlate well with cell phenotype and gene expression changes. State of the art techniques for tuning matrix stiffness rely on increasing protein concentration or the addition of exogenous crosslinkers, which successfully tune macroscale mechanics. However, these approaches…

▼ In response to mechanical stimulus, osteocytes release various signaling molecules that regulate other bone cells during bone modeling and remodeling. Solute transport through LCS is thus essential for osteocytes not only to perform their regulatory functions but also to maintain their viability. However, the solute transport in the LCS of loaded bone has not been well understood due to technique challenges. In this dissertation, I have developed mathematical models at multiple levels to simulate fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) experiments, and to obtain new data and knowledge regarding the microenvironments of osteocytes. At the cellular-level, I developed a three-compartment model to numerically solve the diffusion-convection equation for a typical FRAP experiment. I found that fluorescence recovery during FRAP experiments in a dynamically loaded bone is characterized by an exponential process e^-kt, where the transport rate k increases with higher loading magnitude and lower frequency. Mechanical load is predicted to enhance transport of all tracers relative to diffusion, with the greatest enhancement for medium-sized tracers. The large tracers have high reflection coefficients through the pericellular matrix (PCM) that reduce the convective effect. The reflection coefficient which represents the resistance of PCM on the solute flux was then analytically formulated with a 3D orthogonal fiber network model, and found to increase with increasing fiber volume fraction and decreasing fiber radius. By applying these multiple-level models to our FRAP experiments, the peak fluid velocity in a mouse tibia under intermittent compressive load with peak magnitude at 3 N, resting period at 4 s and loading period at 2 s was quantified as ∼60 μm/s, the reflection coefficient of parvalbumin was quantified as 0.092, and the fiber volume fraction in the PCM was estimated as 2.1–17.2% depending on fiber radius varied from 1 nm to 3 nm. The work described in this dissertation forms a solid foundation for future studies on solute transport and molecular signaling around osteocytes, especially in disease conditions where the LCS anatomy and/or PCM are altered. These investigations will transform our understanding of bone health and pathology and help develop efficient treatments or countermeasures of bone diseases and conditions.

▼ Elevated vacuum socket suspensions are regularly used by trans-tibial amputees to secure the prostheses to the residual limb via externally applied vacuum. This suspension system has demonstrated unique health benefits for the limb and improved gait symmetry. Published research on elevated vacuum socket suspension principally examines patient outcomes and pressure measurements. Aims of this dissertation were to investigate the effects of vacuum levels on various gait parameters. Three stand-alone papers describe (1) temporal and kinematic effects of vacuum levels, (2) kinetics and ground reaction force effects of vacuum levels and (3) amputee gait with the elevated vacuum socket suspension relative to able-bodied gait. Nine male unilateral trans-tibial amputees with elevated vacuum socket suspension and nine able-bodied subjects participated in the study. Three-dimensional motion data were captured using a video camera and force plate system in conjunction with a reflective marker set. Able-bodied subjects walked at self-preferred walking speeds. Amputees walked at self-preferred walking speeds with typical vacuum levels for the first set of trials. Subsequent sets of trials were at a controlled walking speed with five randomized vacuum levels ranging from 0–20 inches Hg. Comfort level improved with increasing vacuum (p=0.001). Step time asymmetry (p=0.035) and knee adduction moment ( p<0.05) values increased with vacuum. Several ground reaction force parameters had significant limb by vacuum interaction effects ( p<0.05). Limb effects typically had larger overall effect sizes than vacuum level and interaction effects. Intact limbs had greater values than residual limbs for stance phase duration (p=0.019), single support duration (p=0.008), step length ( p=0.005), walking speed (p<0.05), hip adduction moments (p<0.05), various ground reaction force parameters (p<0.05) and ankle joint power (p<0.001). Conversely, residual limbs had higher values for maximum lateral trunk obliquity (p=0.009) and hip and knee joint power impulses ( p<0.05). Control subjects had shorter double support phase ( p<0.05) than amputee subjects. The intact limb of the amputee had a larger burden than the residual limb. Absence of plantar flexors in the residual limb induces between-limb differences and compensation mechanisms. At higher levels of vacuum amputees utilized the residual limb to a greater extent for some parameters, possibly due to increased socket comfort.

▼ Background: Dismounted Soldiers routinely carry substantial loads over long distances at a fixed cadence. While much of the load is carried on the trunk, Soldiers typically carry a weapon in their hands and will likely bear additional loads on their arms in the future (e.g. communication devices, body armor). The physiologic demand of carrying load on the extremities is considerably higher than carrying the same load close to the body, but the changes in gait mechanics and muscle activity associated with this increase are not well understood. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a better understanding of the changes in gait mechanics and muscle activity related to the disproportionate increase in metabolic cost associated with carrying load in the hands. This was accomplished by 1) quantifying the effects of hand carriage of load on mechanics, energetics and muscle activity, 2) evaluating the relationships between changes in mechanical and muscular variables and increases in metabolic cost during walking, and 3) investigating the effects of changes in stride frequency on gait mechanics, energetics and muscle activity during hand carriage of load. Methods: Motion capture, oxygen consumption and muscle activity data were obtained from 30 subjects walking on a treadmill at 3 mph under various combinations of load magnitude, load location and arm swing at a specific stride frequency. Spatiotemporal parameters, kinematics, coordination between trunk and pelvis rotation, metabolic rate, and muscle activity levels were evaluated for each load carriage condition. Results: Hand carrying load in front of the body using both hands is associated with significant changes in gait mechanics, muscle activity and metabolic cost. Changes in metabolic cost during walking with small trunk-borne or hand carried loads appear to primarily depend on transverse plane trunk and pelvis kinematics and anterioposterior position of the center of mass. Individuals are able to maintain a stable gait pattern with changes in stride frequency, even when hand carrying a load in front of the trunk. Conclusion: The significant biomechanical and physiologic changes associated with hand carrying a load in front of the trunk may lead to systemic and local muscle fatigue with negative consequences for Soldier task performance. Changes in gait mechanics and muscle activity associated with over striding may put individuals of shorter stature at an increased risk of fatigue. The results of these studies can aid mission planners in making better estimations of Soldier performance under different load carriage conditions and system developers in optimally designing manually carried Soldier equipment. Future studies are needed to quantify the fatigue due to biomechanical and physiologic changes associated with various modes of load carriage and evaluate its impact on Soldier performance.

▼ Ligaments and tendons are dense, fibrous connective tissue that transmit and bear loads within the musculoskeletal system. They are elastic and viscous, and thus are capable of storing and dissipating energy. Although soft and flexible, they can interface with materials that are orders of magnitude stiffer (e.g., bone) and orders of magnitude more compliant (e.g., muscle). These functions are mediated by a complex network of hierarchically organized fibrillar collagen and accessory proteins and molecules. Tissue constituents form unique structural motifs that span the nanoscale, microscale, mesoscale and macroscale. This multiscale organization enables both a robust mechanical response at the macroscopic joint level and simultaneously provides a microscale environment conducive to cellular proliferation and nutrient transport. The aim of this dissertation was to gain a deeper understanding of how the organization of tissue constituents contribute to mechanical function of tendon and ligament across scale levels. At the nanoscale, the question regarding the role of the proteoglycan decorin was addressed. A novel combination of an in vitro assay, imaging techniques and mechanical testing was used to explore how decorin acts to modify the strength of collagen fibril networks. At the microscale, computational modeling was used to examine how different fibril organizations contribute to the macroscopic volumetric response of tendon and ligament during tensile loading. The volumetric response is believed to drive fluid flux within the tissue, which may play a role in nutrient transport and the apparent viscoelastic response. This flow dependent mechanism was addressed in a study that experimentally measured the volumetric changes in mesocale fascicles during viscoelastic testing. One of the challenges in discerning structure-function relationships in tendon and ligament is the large number of uncontrolled variables, which can be difficult to account for in an experimental setting. To address this challenge, a collagen based tendon surrogate was developed for use as a physical model. The physical model was coupled to a validated micromechanical computational model. This facilitated the testing of hypotheses that would have been difficult to address experimentally. The four studies contained within this dissertation, along with a number of preliminary studies, represent a novel contribution to the field of tendon and ligament mechanics.
