Abstract
Massage is a widely accepted manual therapy used to modulate the inflammatory response of muscle and restore function, but prolonged compression of muscle potentially causes overt injury and damage to muscle fibers. Therefore, a balance exists between the positive effects of massage and the induction of mechanical damage and injury. In addition, skeletal muscle of aged individuals displays increased stiffness, and therefore, the response to massage is likely different compared with young. We hypothesized that the aged skeletal muscle exhibits increased sarcolemmal permeability when subjected to massage compared with young skeletal muscle. Male Brown Norway/F344 rats, 10 and 30 months of age, were each divided into control, non-massaged (n = 8) and massaged (n = 8) groups. The right gastrocnemius muscle received one bout of cyclic compressive loading for 30 min at 4.5 N as a massage-mimetic. Muscles were dissected and frozen 24 h after massage. Alterations in sarcolemma permeability were quantified by measuring the level of intracellular IgG within the muscle fibers. Immunohistochemistry was performed to determine IgG inside fibers and Pax7+ cell number as an indicator of stem cell abundance. Average IgG intensity was not different between control and massaged animals at either age. However, a significant shift to the right of the density histogram indicated that massaged animals had more fibers with higher IgG intensity than control at 10 months. In addition, Pax7+ cell number was significantly elevated in massaged muscles compared with control at both ages. One bout of massage did not induce overt muscle injury, but facilitated membrane permeability, which was associated with an increase in satellite cell number. Data suggest that the load applied here, which was previously shown to induce immunomodulatory changes, does not induce overt muscle injury in young and old muscles but may result in muscle remodeling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spine boards are used to immobilise accident victims suspected of having spinal injury. Guidelines about the maximum time patients remain on the board are often exceeded and on occasions may lead to pressure ulcers. Etiological research has shown that two processes ultimately lead to pressure ulcers:"Ischemic damage" which takes several hours to initiate and "deformation damage" at high strains. The latter process is very quick and the first signs of cell damage are already evident within minutes. Thus in order to minimise the risk of pressure ulcer development during prolonged loading, a new soft-layered long spine board has been designed. METHODS A subject specific numerical approach has been adopted to evaluate the prototype spine board in comparison to a conventional spine board, with reference to the estimated strains in the soft tissues adjacent to the sacrum in the supine position. The model geometry is derived from magnetic resonance images of three human volunteers in an unloaded situation. The loaded images are used to "tune" the material parameters of skin, fat and muscle. The prediction of the deformed contours on the soft-layered board is used to validate the model. FINDINGS Comparison of the internal strains in muscle tissue near the spine showed that internal strains on the soft-layered board are reduced and maximum strains are considerably less than the threshold at which deformation damage is possible. By contrast, on the rigid spine board this threshold is exceeded in all cases. INTERPRETATION The prototype comfort board is able to reduce the risk for deformation damage and thus reduces the risk of developing pressure ulcers.

Abstract
Deep tissue injuries (DTIs) can become significant problems because of their rapid deterioration into deep pressure ulcers. Presently, no animal model of DTI deterioration has been developed. By concentrating pressure and shear stress in deep tissues while minimising pressure and shear stress in the overlying skin, we produced an effective rat model of DTI deterioration. Two-dimensional finite element method (FEM) simulated the distribution of pressure and shear stress under several pressure-loading conditions. FEM showed that concentrated shear stress in deep tissue with minimum shear stress in the overlying skin could be created by using a prominence and a cushion, respectively. On the basis of the results of FEM analysis, we selected suitable conditions for testing the rat DTI deterioration model. The compressed area was macroscopically observed until day 13, and histopathologic analysis via haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was performed on days 3, 7 and 13. H&E staining showed that the distribution of tissue damage was similar to the predicted FEM results. Deep ulceration and tissue damage extending from deep tissues to the overlying skin and surrounding tissues were observed in the DTI deterioration model, which are similar to the clinical manifestations of DTI deterioration. In conclusion, a representative DTI deterioration model was established by concentrating high shear stress in deep tissues while minimising shear stress in the overlying skin. This model will allow a better understanding of the mechanisms behind DTI deterioration and the development of preventative strategies.

Abstract
There are currently no effective therapies for treating pressure-induced deep tissue injury. This study tested the efficacy of pharmacological inhibition of caspase in preventing muscle damage following sustained moderate compression. Adult Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to prolonged moderate compression. Static pressure of 100 mm Hg compression was applied to an area of 1.5 cm2 in the tibialis region of the right limb of the rats for 6 h each day for two consecutive days. The left uncompressed limb served as intra-animal control. Rats were randomized to receive either vehicle (DMSO) as control treatment (n =8) or 6 mg kg⁻¹ of caspase inhibitor (z-VAD-fmk; n =8) prior to the 6 h compression on the two consecutive days.Muscle tissues directly underneath the compression region of the compressed limb and the same region of control limb were harvested after the compression procedure.Histological examination and biochemical/molecular measurement of apoptosis and autophagy were performed. Caspase inhibition was effective in alleviating the compression-induced pathohistology of muscle. The increases in caspase-3 protease activity, TUNEL index, apoptotic DNA fragmentation and pro-apoptotic factors (Bax, p53 and EndoG) and the decreases in anti-apoptotic factors (XIAP and HSP70) observed in compressed muscle of DMSO-treated animals were not found in animals treated with caspase inhibitor. The mRNA content of autophagic factors (Beclin-1, Atg5 and Atg12) and the protein content of LC3, FoxO3 and phospho-FoxO3 that were down-regulated in compressed muscle of DMSO-treated animals were all maintained at their basal level in the caspase inhibitor treated animals. Our data provide evidence that caspase inhibition attenuates compression-induced muscle apoptosis and maintains the basal autophagy level. These findings demonstrate that pharmacological inhibition of caspase/apoptosis is effective in alleviating muscle damage as induced by prolonged compression.

Abstract
Pressure-related deep tissue injury may develop in skeletal muscle tissue which is subjected to prolonged compression. For early detection, it is important to understand the underlying damage processes. Gawlitta et al. [Gawlitta, D., C. W. J. Oomens, D. L. Bader, F. P. T. Baaijens, and C. V. C. Bouten. Temporal differences in the influence of ischemic factors and deformation on the metabolism of engineered skeletal muscle. J. Appl. Physiol. 103(2):464–473, 2007b] subjected tissue-engineered muscle constructs to ischemia and deformation to study their effects on viability. Contrary to previous findings, no decrease in viability was found due to compression. However, the nature of their measurement method complicated interpretation of the results, particulary when deformation was involved. Changes in the constructs were assessed by measurements in the surrounding medium. The theoretical model developed in the present study describes metabolism, diffusion, and cell death in the experiments, and accounts for reduced diffusion due to compression. It was demonstrated that the lack of effect of compression on tissue viability, as measured in the experiments, could be explained by the compression-induced decrease in diffusivity. Compression did lead to considerable cell death but this could not be measured by Gawlitta et al. [Gawlitta, D., C. W. J. Oomens, D. L. Bader, F. P. T. Baaijens, and C. V. C. Bouten. Temporal differences in the influence of ischemic factors and deformation on the metabolism of engineered skeletal muscle. J. Appl. Physiol. 103(2):464–473, 2007b] because diffusion of the cell death marker to the medium was limited. This study shows that a proper description of transport processes is essential for a correct interpretation of experiments in which indirect measurement methods are used.

Abstract
Pressure ulcer is a complex and significant health problem. Although the factors including pressure, shear, and ischemia have been identified in the etiology of pressure ulcer, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that contribute to the development of pressure ulcer are unclear. This study tested the hypothesis that the early-onset molecular regulation of pressure ulcer involves apoptosis in muscle tissue. Adult Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to an in vivo protocol to mimic pressure-induced deep tissue injury. Static pressure was applied to the tibialis region of the right limb of the rats for 6 h each day on two consecutive days. The compression force was continuously monitored by a three-axial force transducer equipped in the compression indentor. The contralateral uncompressed limb served as intra-animal control. Tissues underneath the compressed region were collected for histological analysis, terminal dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL), cell death ELISA, immunocytochemical staining, and real-time RT-PCR gene expression analysis. The compressed muscle tissue generally demonstrated degenerative characteristics. TUNEL/dystrophin labeling showed a significant increase in the apoptotic muscle-related nuclei, and cell death ELISA demonstrated a threefold elevation of apoptotic DNA fragmentation in the compressed muscle tissue relative to control. Positive immunoreactivities of cleaved caspase-3, Bax, and Bcl-2 were evident in compressed muscle. The mRNA contents of Bax, caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 were found to be higher in the compressed muscle tissue than control. These results demonstrated that apoptosis is activated in muscle tissue following prolonged moderate compression. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that muscle apoptosis is involved in the underlying mechanism of pressure-induced deep tissue injury.

Abstract
Most tissues are subject to some form of physiological mechanical loading which results in deformation of the cells triggering intracellular mechanotransduction pathways. This response to loading is generally essential for the health of the tissue, although more pronounced deformation may result in cell and tissue damage. In order to determine the biological response of cells to loading it is necessary to understand how cells and intracellular structures deform. This paper reviews the various loading systems that have been adopted for studying cell deformation both in situ within tissue explants and in isolated cell culture systems. In particular it describes loading systems which facilitate visualisation and subsequent quantification of cell deformation. The review also describes the associated microscopy and image analysis techniques. The review focuses on deformation of chondrocytes with additional information on a variety of other cell types including neurons, red blood cells, epithelial cells and skin and muscle cells.

Abstract
Deep pressure ulcers develop in tissues subjected to sustained mechanical loading. Though it has been hypothesized that this damage mechanism results from local tissue ischemia, it has recently been shown with a cell model that sustained compression can cause cell deformation, leading to tissue breakdown. The present study focuses on the assessment of cell viability during compression and ischemia in an in vitro muscle model to determine their relative contributions to damage development. A model system was developed consisting of engineered skeletal muscle produced from the culture of murine muscle cells in a collagen gel. The tissue was subjected to 0, 20, or 40% compression under hypoxic or normoxic conditions. Experiments were performed on the stage of a microscope and cell viability was monitored using fluorescent markers for apoptotic and necrotic cell death. Hypoxia did not lead to significant cell death over a 22 h period. By contrast, compression led to immediate cell death that increased with time. No additional effect of hypoxia on cell death was observed. These data show that contrary to existing theories, compression can cause development of muscle damage and that hypoxia does not contribute to cell death development within 22 h in engineered muscle.

Abstract
In tissue-engineering and other life sciences, there is a growing need for real-time, non-destructive information on apoptosis and necrosis in 2D and 3D tissue cultures. Previously, propidium iodide was applied as a fluorescent marker for monitoring necrosis. In the current study this technique was extended with a fluorescent apoptosis marker, YO-PRO-1, to discriminate between both stages of cell death. The main goal was to evaluate the performance of YO-PRO-1 and propidium iodide during monitoring periods of up to 3 days. Apoptosis was induced in C2C12 cultures and the numbers of YP-positive and PI-positive nuclei were counted in time. The performance of the dual staining was evaluated with a metabolic measure and a probe intensity study. Cell metabolism was unaffected during the first 24 h of testing. In conclusion, the YP/PI dual staining method was found to be a powerful tool in obtaining real-time spatial information on viability in cell and tissue culture without culture disruption.
