Objective: To compare the results of different types of die-punch fractures treated by volar locking plate (VLP).
Methods: Between January 2013 and February 2018, a total of 71 patients with die-punch fracture of distal radius were treated by VLP and their medical records were retrospectively reviewed. Of them, 18 were classified as volar type, 24 as splitting type, and 28 as collapsed type of fracture, based on the preoperative radiographs and CT scans.
Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is used as an alternative therapy to reduce pain and improve functional restoration in patients with Achilles tendinopathy (AT). We evaluated the current evidence for the efficacy of PRP as a treatment for chronic AT.
Methods: The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library databases were searched for articles on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared the efficacy of PRP with that of with placebo injections plus eccentric training as treatment for AT.
Objective: This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiologic outcomes of AO titanium locking plate and screw (ATLPS) and anterograde intramedullary (AIM) fixation for treating unstable metacarpal and phalangeal fractures.
Methods: Adult patients with isolated fresh unstable metacarpal and phalangeal fractures who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled into this prospective study from July 2013. Patients were divided into ATLPS or AIM groups when they were admitted to our department after considering their work requirement, fracture complexity, and surgeon's experience and were then treated accordingly.
Background: Plantar pressure serves as a key factor for predicting ulceration in the feet of diabetes patients. We designed this study to analyze plantar pressure changes and correlating risk factors in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: We recruited 65 patients with type 2 diabetes.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non‑coding RNAs, which function as critical gene regulators by targeting mRNAs for translational repression or degradation, and they are essential in cancer development and progression. Several previous studies have indicated that abnormal expression of miRNAs occurs frequently in human osteosarcoma (OS) tissues compared with that of adjacent normal tissues. In the present study, the role of miR‑214 in the progression and metastasis of OS was investigated.

Background: Gadolinium chloride (GdCl3) selectively inactivates Kupffer cells and protects against ischemia/reperfusion and endotoxin injury. However, the effect of Kupffer cell inactivation on liver regeneration after partial liver transplantation (PLTx) is not clear. This study was to investigate the role of GdCl3 pretreatment in graft function after PLTx, and to explore the potential mechanism involved in this process.

Background: Plantar pressure is a key factor for predicting ulceration in the foot of a diabetes patient.
Subjects And Methods: We recruited a group of 100 Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes and an age-, sex-, weight-, and height-matched group of 100 Chinese subjects without diabetes. We obtained plantar pressure data using a Footscan(®) gait system (RsScan International, Olen, Belgium) when the subjects with and without diabetes walked barefoot across a sensor platform.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacies for open reduction and internal fixation of unstable periarticular fractures of metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP) with the AO miniature plate system.
Methods: A total of 265 patients (172 males and 93 females) with 302 MCP periarticular fractures were retrospectively reviewed. Their mean age was 32.
