Skin Barrier-Enhancing Effects of Dermabiotics HDB with Regulation of Skin Microbiota.

In the regulation of inflammatory responses and skin homeostasis, the skin and its microbiota are closely related. Studies have reported that lactic acid bacteria extracts can improve the skin condition and microbiota. In our previous study, we developed probiotic lysates, which are efficacious in improvement of human skin cells and the skin barrier.

Incomplete footprint coverage under tension in repair of isolated supraspinatus full-thickness tear.

Although it is well known that repairing large or massive tears under tension may have an adverse effect on healing of the repaired tendons, only few studies have addressed this issue in medium-sized isolated supraspinatus full-thickness tear. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes and structural integrity of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with tension versus without it. This study retrospectively investigated 90 patients who underwent arthroscopic repair in a single-row for medium-sized isolated supraspinatus full-thickness tear.

Subscapularis re-tears associated with preoperative advanced fatty infiltration and greater subscapularis involvement, leading to inferior functional outcomes and decreased acromiohumeral distance.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the influence of repaired subscapularis integrity on midterm results for anterosuperior massive rotator cuff tears (MRCTs) treated with partial rotator cuff repair.

Methods: This study included 57 patients who underwent arthroscopic partial repair for an anterosuperior MRCT. They were assigned to the healed subscapularis group (Group H 37 patients) or subscapularis re-tear group (Group R 20 patients).
