Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates how resistin (RETN), an adipocyte hormone, affects autophagy and inflammation in bovine alveolar macrophages (BAMs).
  • The researchers found that RETN treatment increased autophagosomes and altered protein expressions related to autophagy, specifically enhancing the LC3II/LC3I ratio while decreasing p62 levels.
  • RETN activated the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway which is crucial for autophagy regulation and also reduced inflammation markers compared to the LPS treatment alone.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a surgical procedure combining arthroscopic shoulder capsular release and acromiohumeral distance restoration for treating diabetic secondary stiff shoulder (group A) and primary frozen shoulder (group B).
  • A total of 55 patients were analyzed, showing no significant differences in demographics or preoperative measurements between the two groups, aside from some rotational range of motion.
  • Both groups demonstrated significant post-operative improvements in shoulder pain and function, with no reported complications during follow-up, indicating successful treatment outcomes for both conditions.

is a basidiomycete yeast that is pathogenic to humans and animals, and fluconazole-resistant strains have recently increased. Farnesol secreted by fungi is a factor that causes variations in fluconazole resistance; however, few studies have explored the underlying mechanisms. Therefore, this study aims to delineate the fluconazole resistance mechanisms of and explore farnesol's effects on these processes.

Objective: To observe and evaluate the short-term effectiveness of superior capsular reconstruction using autologous fascia lata graft for irreparable massive rotator cuff tears.

Methods: The clinical data of 9 patients with irreparable massive rotator cuff tears treated with arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction by using autologous fascia lata graft between September 2019 and April 2020 were retrospectively analysed. There were 4 males and 5 females with a median age of 66 years (range, 55-70 years).

Osteolysis at the tendon-bone interface can impair pullout strength during tendon-bone healing and lead to surgery failure, but the effects of clinical treatments are not satisfactory. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes have been used as potent and feasible natural nanocarriers for drug delivery and have been proven to enhance tendon-bone healing strength, indicating that MSC-derived exosomes could be a promising therapeutic strategy. In this study, we explored Scleraxis (Scx) dynamically expressed in PDGFRα(+) bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) during natural tendon-bone healing.

Objective: To evaluate the short-term effectiveness of arthroscopically capsular vertical mattress suturing for shoulder recurrent anterior dislocation combined with joint laxity.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 6 shoulder recurrent anterior dislocation patients combined with joint laxity treated with arthroscopically capsular vertical mattress suturing between January 2017 and December 2018. There were 5 males and 1 female with an average age of 20.

Objective: To evaluate mid-term effectiveness of manipulation under anesthesia combined with arthroscopic capsular release and subacromial debridement for primary frozen shoulder.

Methods: Between January 2013 and December 2017, 33 patients of primary frozen shoulder were treated with manipulation under anesthesia combined with 360° arthroscopic capsular release and subacromial debridement. There were 10 males and 23 females, aged from 37 to 65 years, with a mean age of 50.

Background: Haglund syndrome is a common disease that causes posterior heel pain. This study compared the clinical outcomes of dorsal closing wedge calcaneal osteotomy (DCWCO) and posterosuperior prominence resection (PPR) for the treatment of Haglund syndrome.

Methods: This retrospective study included 12 patients who underwent DCWCO and 32 patients who underwent PPR from January 2010 to August 2016.

Objective: To evaluate the mid-term effectiveness of arthrolysis and hinged external fixation for the treatment of stiff elbow caused by heterotrophic ossification.

Methods: Between January 2014 and December 2017, 11 patients with stiff elbow caused by heterotrophic ossification were admitted. There were 9 males and 2 females with an average age of 32 years (range, 14-48 years), and left side in 6 cases and right side in 5 cases.
