SummaryCarboxypeptidase U (CPU, CPB2, TAFIa) is a basic carboxypeptidase that is able to attenuate fibrinolysis. The inactive precursor procarboxypeptidase U is converted to its active form by thrombin, the thrombin-thrombomodulin complex or plasmin.

Mechanical properties of human tympanic membrane in the quasi-static regime from in situ point indentation measurements

Publikováno v: Hearing research

The tympanic membrane is a key component of the human auditory apparatus. Good estimates of tympanic membrane mechanical properties are important to obtain realistic models of middle ear mechanics. Current literature values are almost all derived fro

Static versus dynamic gerbil tympanic membrane elasticity: derivation of the complex modulus

Autor: Jef Aernouts, Joris J.J. Dirckx

Publikováno v: Biomechanics and modeling in mechanobiology

An accurate estimation of tympanic membrane stiffness is important for realistic modelling of middle ear mechanics. Tympanic membrane stiffness has been investigated extensively under either quasi-static or dynamic loading conditions. It is known tha

Elasticity modulus of rabbit middle ear ossicles determined by a novel micro-indentation technique

Autor: Joris Soons, Jef Aernouts, Joris J.J. Dirckx

Publikováno v: Hearing research

For the purpose of creating a finite element model of the middle ear, the ossicles can be modelled as rigid bodies or as linear elastic materials. The general elasticity parameters used are usually measured on larger bones like the femur. In order to
