Joint and Muscle Dysfunction of Temporomandibular Joint

描述：(申请人提供)TMJ协会会议主题为“联合 和颞颌关节肌肉功能障碍“，计划于5月 2002年6-8日，马里兰州贝塞斯达。基于1989年进行的全国调查 美国国立牙科和颅面研究所 美国国立卫生研究院估计，在美国有超过1000万人 美国有多达80个人患有颞下颌关节紊乱病的迹象 接受这些疾病治疗的患者中有1%是女性。从小到大 研究人员对这些问题进行了探索，2000年5月，一名全国患者 倡导团体TMJ协会组织了一次会议，评估目前 并为今后的研究提供方向。《TMJ》 协会和美国国立卫生研究院的几个机构，妇女研究办公室 健康，共同主办了这次会议。它汇集了一门跨学科的 关节炎，TMJ病理学，骨，关节，肌肉生理学专家团队， 神经科学、疼痛、遗传学、内分泌学、免疫学、骨血管生成和 组织修复/工程学。对国内外的研究现状进行了总结和总结 对今后的研究方向提出了建议。第二 建议。TMJ协会会议将集中讨论分子、细胞、 颞下颌关节和咀嚼关节的组织和力学特征 对肌肉的了解非常有限。与以下内容相关的新兴工作 将介绍骨/关节血管生成。这样做的根本目的是 会议的目的是通过以下方式丰富TMJ研究的调查员队伍 吸引其他领域的专家，并通过激发年轻人的兴趣 这一新兴研究领域的研究人员。《公约》的具体目标 会议内容有：1)召开国际公认的跨学科会议 风湿学和肌肉骨骼学基础和临床研究小组 疾病涉及生化、分子血管和生物力学 可能导致疾病/功能障碍的结构和功能方面 TM联合；2)通过一个 旅游奖励计划；以及3)吸引新的研究人员和学生 从事有关颞下颌关节疾病和紊乱的研究。

DESCRIPTION: (provided by applicant) The TMJ Association Conference on "Joint and Muscle Dysfunction of the Temporomandibular Joint," is scheduled for May 6-8, 2002 in Bethesda, Maryland. Based on a 1989 national survey conducted by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) of the National Institutes of Health, it is estimated that over ten million people in the United States have signs of temporomandibular disorders with as many as 80 percent of patients treated for these disorders being women. Since little research had explored these problems, in May of 2000 a national patient advocacy group, The TMJ Association, organized a meeting to assess the current state of the science and provide directions for future research. The TMJ Association and several agencies of the NIH, Office of Research on Women's Health, co-sponsored this meeting. It brought together an interdisciplinary team of experts in arthritis, TMJ pathology, bone, joint, muscle physiology, neuroscience, pain, genetics, endocrinology, immunology, bone angiogenesis, and tissue repair/engineering. The state of research was summarized and recommendations were made for future directions in research. The second proposed. TMJ Association Conference will focus on the molecular, cellular, tissue and mechanical features of the temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscle of which there is very limited understanding. Emerging work related to bone/joint angiogenesis will be presented. The fundamental goal of this conference is to enrich the pool of investigators directed to TMJ research by attracting experts from other fields and by stimulating the interest of young investigators in this emerging field of research. The Specific Aims of the conferences are: 1) To convene an internationally recognized interdisciplinary group of basic and clinical investigators in rheumatology and musculoskeletal diseases to address the biochemical, molecular vascular and biomechanical aspects of structure and functions that may lead to diseases/dysfunctions of the TM joint; 2) To promote the participation of young scientists through a travel award program; and 3) to interest new investigators and students in pursuing research on temporomandibular diseases and disorders.
