Crohn's disease (CD) is an idiopathic and chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The underlying pathogenesis of CD is multifaceted, with complex interactions between genetic predisposition, environmental triggers, and abnormalities within the immune system. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have gained significant attention as a novel component in the pathogenesis of CD.

Transtendon repair is increasingly applied in the treatment of PASTA (partial articular supraspinatus tendon avulsion) lesions, but a "tendon hole" from anchor insertion, which will break the intact bursal layer and potentially result in tear completion, is an unavoidable problem. The "mini-incision" transtendon double-pulley suture bridge presented in the study is a pragmatic technique in treatment of PASTA lesion. The 4 suture strands on the medial-row anchor provide enough biomechanical strength on the reattached articular layer, the "mini-incision" minimizes iatrogenic trauma on the bursal layer, and double-pulley suture-bridge smoothly covers the "mini-incision" so as to achieve anatomical reduction of articular and bursa side of supraspinatus tendon.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) hold promising applications owing to their safety, cost-effectiveness, and competitive capacity. However, issues such as zinc dendritic formation and side reactions severely impede their practical viability. Utilizing carbon quantum dots (CQDs) to modify cheap, tenacious, and highly hydrophilic filter paper (FP) as separator effectively improves the electrochemical performance of zinc ion energy storage systems.

At present, the repair patterns for medium-sized supraspinatus tendon tears are double- and single-row repairs. However, the limitations of double-row repair include excessive anchor implantation and incremental surgical cost and time, whereas a deficient tendon-bone contact area exists with single-row repair. The modified double-pulley suture-bridge repair presented in this study is an arthroscopic technique using 3 double-loaded suture anchors combined with a double-pulley technique to form a hybrid repair pattern with a double row as the mainstay and a single row as the supplement.

Emerging evidence has illuminated the pivotal role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in orchestrating immunological functions and autoimmune responses. In the context of Crohn's disease (CD), an array of novel lncRNAs has been identified in the plasma and intestinal tissues of afflicted individuals, suggesting a dualistic influence on the disease progression, either exacerbating or mitigating its course. Current research has demonstrated the involvement of lncRNAs in competitive endogenous RNA, the inflammation process, epithelial barrier function, gut microbiota imbalance, and epigenetic regulation.

At present, the repair pattern of upper third of subscapularis tendon partial-thickness tears (upper-third tendon tears) is performed in the glenohumeral joint and conventional subacromial viewing portal, but the visualization of subscapularis tendon and footprint is poor when using a 30° scope. The modified subacromial viewing portal presented in this Technical Note is a modified surgical technique for the repair of upper-third tendon tears. Since the scope forms an angle of 70° with the subscapularis tendon and footprint of lesser tuberosity, satisfactory visualization can be obtained when using 30° scope; the predesigned surgical portal and working space without bony barrier can offer a smooth surgical procedure.

Objective: To explore the early effectiveness of arthroscopic tri-anchor double-pulley suture-bridge in treatment of medium-size supraspinatus tendon tears.

Methods: Between December 2020 and January 2023, 40 patients with medium-size supraspinatus tendon tears were treated with arthroscopic tri-anchor double-pulley suture-bridge. There were 18 males and 22 females, with an average age of 62.

Objective: To investigate short-term effectiveness of arthroscopic repair via modified subacromial viewing portal (hereinafter referred to as modified viewing portal) in treatment of LafosseⅠsubscapularis tendon tears.

Methods: A clinical data of 52 patients with LafosseⅠsubscapularis tendon tears, who underwent the arthroscopic repair via modified viewing portal between October 2020 and November 2022 and met the selective criteria, was retrospectively analyzed. There were 15 males and 37 females with an average age of 63.

Network pharmacology can ascertain the therapeutic mechanism of drugs for treating diseases at the level of biological targets and pathways. The effective mechanism study of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) characterized by multi-component, multi-targeted, and integrative efficacy, perfectly corresponds to the application of network pharmacology. Currently, network pharmacology has been widely utilized to clarify the mechanism of the physiological activity of TCM.

Gastric cancer is a common type of cancer that poses a serious threat to human health. Polysaccharides are important functional phytochemicals, and research shows that polysaccharides have good anti-gastric cancer effects. We collated all relevant literature published from 2000 to 2020 and found that more than 60 natural polysaccharides demonstrate anti-gastric cancer activity.

Background: Traumatic impacts to the articular joint surface are known to lead to cartilage degeneration, as in post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). Limited progress in the development of disease-modifying OA drugs (DMOADs) may be due to insufficient mechanistic understanding of human disease onset/progression and insufficient in vitro models for disease and therapeutic modeling. In this study, biomimetic hydrogels laden with adult human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are used to examine the effects of traumatic impacts as a model of PTOA.

Purpose: To determine whether the addition of lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) reduces rotational laxity of the knee, and to compare the clinical results of this treatment with those of ACLR alone.

Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched by two researchers for clinical studies comparing ACLR with and without LET. Studies with only evidence levels I and II and studies in which anterior lateral ligament reconstruction was performed with grafts were excluded.

Pyroptosis is a form of necrotic and inflammatory programmed cell death, which could be characterized by cell swelling, pore formation on plasma membranes, and release of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-18). The process of pyroptosis presents as dual effects: protecting multicellular organisms from microbial infection and endogenous dangers; leading to pathological inflammation if overactivated. Two pathways have been found to trigger pyroptosis: caspase-1 mediated inflammasome pathway with the involvement of NLRP1-, NLRP3-, NLRC4-, AIM2-, pyrin-inflammasome (canonical inflammasome pathway) and caspase-4/5/11-mediated inflammasome pathway (noncanonical inflammasome pathway).
