Background: This study investigates the role of IGFBP3-mediated m6A modification in regulating the miR-23a-3p/SMAD5 axis and its impact on fracture healing, aiming to provide insights into potential therapeutic targets.
Methods: Utilizing fracture-related datasets, we identified m6A modification-related mRNA and predicted miR-23a-3p as a regulator of SMAD5. We established a mouse fracture healing model and conducted experiments, including Micro-CT, RT-qPCR, Alizarin Red staining, and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, to assess gene expression and osteogenic differentiation.
Objective: Surgical management of scoliosis curves between 70° and 100° remains controversial. The authors designed this randomized controlled trial to validate the efficacy of intraoperative halo-femoral traction (IOHFT) in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), Cobb angles between 70° and 100°, and flexibility < 35%.
Methods: The authors prospectively recruited and randomized 29 patients with severe AIS scheduled for posterior surgery into a traction group or control (nontraction) group.
The study aims to investigate the role of microRNA-149-3p (miR-149-3p) in regulating osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) by targeting v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1 (AKT1). Bioinformatics websites and a dual luciferase reporter assay were used to predict and verify the targeting relationship between miR-149-3p and AKT1. The hADSCs were divided into the blank, negative control (NC), mimic, control siRNA, AKT1 siRNA, and miR-149-3p inhibitors + AKT1 siRNA groups and then subjected to Alizarin Red staining, Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, ALP activity detections, MTT assay, and EdU cell proliferation assay.

Objectives: To determine whether there is an association between insurance status and curve magnitude in idiopathic scoliosis pediatric patients in mainland China.
Methods: Medical records of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in 4 tertiary spine centers across China from January 2013 to December 2017 were analyzed.
Objective: To explore the clinical effect of bridging system in the treatment of severe comminuted femoral fracture.
Methods: From March 2016 to October 2018, 50 patients with severe comminuted femoral fracture including 35 males and 15 females, aged 48 to 72(54.6±8.
