| Abstract | A novelin vitro system was developed to examine the effects of traumatic mechanical loading on individual cells. The cell shearing injury device (CSID) is a parallel disk viscometer that applies fluid shear stress with variable onset rate. The CSID was used in conjunction with microscopy and biochemical techniques to obtain a quantitative expression of the deformation and functional response of neurons to injury. Analytical and numerical approximations of the shear stress at the bottom disk were compared to determine the contribution of secondary flows. A significant portion of the shear stress was directed in ther-direction during start-up, and therefore the full Navier-Stokes equation was necessary to accurately describe the transient shear stress. When shear stress was applied at a high rate (800 dyne cm−2 sec−1) to cultured neurons, a range of cell membrane strains (0.01 to 0.53) was obtained, suggesting inhomogeneity in cellular response. Functionally, cytosolic calcium and extracellular lactate dehydrogenase levels increased in response to high strain rate (>1 sec−1) loading, compared with quasistatic (<1 sec−1) loading. In addition, a subpopulation of the culture subjected to rapid deformation subsequently died. These strain rates are relevant to those shown to occur in traumatic injury, and as such, the CSID is an appropriate model for studying the biomechanics and pathophysiology of neuronal injury. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
