1225 膝軟骨の微細構造 : SEMおよびAFMによる解析(G02-4 関節と軟骨(1),G02 バイオエンジニアリング)  [in Japanese] 1225 Micro structure of knee cartilage : analysis by SEM and AFM  [in Japanese]

Articular cartilage of a knee joint is exposed to danger of wear after longer repeated movement. Mostly, elderly people suffered this kind of wear in their knee. Nowadays, wear caused by friction and abrasion is a common problem faced not only in engineering technology but also in human living body. However, in a way to solve the problem, a lot of study about lubrication mechanism is conducted but the researches are not entirely completed. In this study, We analyzed surfaces off the articular cartilage of pig's elbow and a knee using SEM and AFM.
