Dr. PeterTwigg and other research colleagues are developing a kind of Hi-Tech maintenance gel, can be used in the cartilage to damage. It can relieve the bone joint issue ' Such as bone arthritis) Pain caused. The picture is that he is checking and used in some bones that water gel method is being tested.

It is reported the medical data reveal, the whole world is being increased year by year by the number of people that the cartilage issue perplexes. Nowadays, the British scientist is developing a kind of maintenance gel, it is expected to improve the joint to pain (such as bone arthritis) Person life quality.

Bone arthritis is disease of a kind of influence joint, as the most common arthritis in Britain, it is estimated that about 8,500,000 people are perplexed by this illness. Bone arthritis has three characteristics: First, cause destroying to the cartilage, the cartilage lies between bone on the tough, smooth surface, can let the joint move about easily without producing friction; Second, will cause the hyperplasia of ossicle take place in the edge of joint; Three cause the intersection of joint and slight inflammation of surrounding tissue ' Joint membrane inflammation) . Bone arthritis take place in knee, buttock, little the intersection of joint and of hand most of the time, but any joint may suffer from this disease. Onset in crowd over the 50 generally, and women getting ill and large than men.

People will usually think bone arthritis is an inevitable part in people's aging course, in fact this kind of idea is incorrect. Young people will suffer from this kind of disease too, are usually caused by injured or other joint questions. Different from most other parts of the body, the cartilage can't carry on simple repair, this means a lot of joint diseases need going on the surgery of the invading type to make the joint reset. The joint will usually last to reset from 10 years to 15, but it is very difficult to repair the joint, so, the surgery is generally used in resetting and sustaining to the age bracket crowd all one's life by recommendation.

But use the intersection of water and gel can change state this fast also while being simple. Basically say, if the doctor finds a patient has cartilages destroyed or torn, will hit a hole and fill in in the damaged place with gel of water, in order to substitute the original cartilage, stop rubing pain caused each other between the bone in this way.

The group members studying the gel of joint come from Britain Bradford university, researchers are devoted to treating the patient in place of surgery with gel of water at present, procedure to say invading type this will reduce greatly, and can make the joint reset the operation and postpone going on again 5 at least.

This research began 3 years ago. Though the advanced one gets the gel together - -Water gel treatment has not entered clinical trial stage yet, but researchers believe it can help the bone arthritis patient simply and fast. Researcher to receive joint of traumatism, because traffic accident, sport or working injured to more cause and more tear or more form cartilage by one of holes inside.

The chief researcher PeterTwigg doctor of rehablitation project of joint says: "The potential impact that it produces to life quality is enormous. Increased year by year by the number of people that the cartilage question perplexes. " Twigg shows, " very successful that all joints are reset, but may not be fit for the young people or more active person. They will usually be proposed postponing the operation, until pain makes them lose the circulation, but a traditional one reset, it treats to be should early to can lighten pain, recover the function. "

Researchers regard water gel treatment as an extremely simple course, final it will become surgery of clinic. Only need to pierce through the skin in the operation with the syringe needle, inject the gel to the influenced position.

According to the introduction of researcher, water gel make with water all nearly, but can so dense that produce, take tough material of 100 to 1000 times than similar gel by one. This is because it has two kinds of very long ones that are similar to the flexible molecule, form the strong chemical bond each other, it is netted to arrange into three-dimension, just a cage encloses water inside. Through adjust quantity of key, physical chemical characteristic of gel will change, thus enable its thickening, thin or change and stick. Gel have fixed other the intersection of material and ability of molecule also, material these can it soluble in waters to be can to can't soluble in ink (such as the oil) too .
