The biology of aging.

Various biological aspects of the aging process are reviewed. Aging has multiple causes. First, there is the initial genetic variability in the organism. Second, there is the destructive effect of the environment. Third, there is an accumulation in the somatic cells of changes, mutations or local chemical damage. These changes incapacitate or kill individual cells, and eventually cause a decline in physiological capacity.

[Effect of synovectomy on the glycosaminoglycan content in the articular cartilage].

Experimental Synovectomy of canine-knee was used for the study of synovial regeneration; histochemical staining with safranin-O and alcian-blue 8 GS, scanning electronmicroscopical studies of cryostat sections with sulfur Stimulation and biochemical analysis of the acid glycosaminoglycan content of cartilage were performed. Following synovectomy the developed "neosynovialis" shows contrary to the situation before a remarkable fibrosis beneath the lining-cells. The acid glycosaminoglycan-content of the cartilage early drops down; 50 days later the GAG-content reaches nearly normal values. At this time not only the histological appearance, but also the nutritive function of neosynovialis seems to be sufficient.

[Myositis ossificans following extensive burns].

A report on a case of myositis ossificans following 50-60% burns (second to third-degree) on the trunk and extremities with periarticular localization of the ossification at the hip and knee joints. In terms of its extent and localization the ossification is primarily similar to post-paraplegic ossification of soft tissues.
