    Summary: Nearly a million anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur each year worldwide, causing long-term problems in the knee joint. This textbook examines the short- and long-term impacts of ACL injuries on the basis of hundreds of published studies. Risk factors for such injuries are explored using data from hypothesis-driven investigations, and possible causes of the higher risk of noncontact ACL injuries in female athletes are analyzed. Neuromuscular training programs shown to reduce the rate of these injuries in female athletes are described in step-by-step detail with the aid of numerous color photographs and video demonstrations. In addition, detailed descriptions are provided for rehabilitation programs to be used after ACL reconstruction in order to reduce the risk of a future injury.

    Plasma membranes of splenic and thymic lymphocytes from ACI rats were analyzed for their protein and glycoprotein components by surface radioiodination with 125I and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The glycoproteins were extracted with lithium diiodosalicylate, characterized and assayed with antisera to thymic antigen. Plasma membranes of both cell types showed more than 25 proteins of which 10--15 were glycoproteins. Both cells showed five major glycoproteins but their apparent molecular weights or intensities differed. Surface radioiodination showed a 120 000 daltons component, common to both cell types, and a 27 000 daltons thymus-specific component as the most exposed surface glycoproteins. Lithium diiodosalicylate extracts of the plasma membranes contained almost all of the glycoprotein components and comprised 5-6 percent of the total membrane protein and 40-50 percent of the total membrane carbohydrate, with sialic acid content in thymus twice that of the spleen cells. About 1 percent of the total plasma membrane protein and 7 percent of the total isolated glycoproteins from thymocytes were reactive with rabbit anti-rat thymocyte antiserum and the immune precipitates showed two components with apparent molecular weights of 72 000 and 27 000.
