In addition to differences in individual elements, differences in their mutual ratios were also observed.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of intermittent and continuous compressive stress on rat mandibular condyles. Ninety rats were randomly divided into 5 groups non-loading control groups and 1-day intermittent cyclic loading, 3-day intermittent cyclic loading, 7-day intermittent cyclic loading, continuous loading groups. In the loading groups, compressive mechanical stresses were loaded onto the condyles. The rats were euthanized after one, two, or four weeks. Histomorphometric and immunochemical staining of the cartilage and the micro-CT scanning of subchondral bone were investigated. Under continuous loading following the first week, cartilage thickness, numbers of chondrocytes, extracellular matrix (Type-II collagen) and proliferation decreased significantly, and there was no apparent repair response after the second and fourth weeks. The cartilage of 1-day and 3-day intermittent cyclic loading groups showed similar pathological changes but better proliferative activity compared with the coects the condylar cartilage from excessive damage, which is different from continuous compressive stress. With longer intervals, the cartilage has the potential capability for recovery as the initial state.This article suggests two areas of future development in the realm of personality pathology.
