Tendinopathies are chronic diseases of an unknown etiology and associated with inflammation. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as a viable therapeutic option to combat the pathological progression of tendinopathies, not only because of their potential for multidirectional differentiation and self-renewal, but also their excellent immunomodulatory properties. The immunomodulatory effects of MSCs are increasingly being recognized as playing a crucial role in the treatment of tendinopathies, with MSCs being pivotal in regulating the inflammatory microenvironment by modulating the immune response, ultimately contributing to improved tissue repair.

Objective: To explore surgical method and clinical effects of descending branch of the anterior lateral malleolar artery based anterograde island flap for repairing foot and ankle wounds.

Methods: Nine patients with skin defects of foot and ankle repaired by descending branch of the anterior lateral malleolar artery based anterograde island flap were studied from June 2015 to January 2017, including 6 males and 3 females aged from 32 to 63 years old. The wound were located on foot and ankle and associated with exposure of bone, tendon, blood vessels or nerves.

Purpose: To describe an indirect reduction technique during minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) of tibial shaft fractures with the use of a distraction support.

Methods: Between March 2011 and October 2014, 52 patients with a mean age of 48 years (16-72 years) sustaining tibial shaft fractures were included. All the patients underwent MIPPO for the fractures using a distraction support prior to insertion of the plate.

Article Synopsis
  • Objective: This study aimed to investigate the methods and outcomes of transferring the medial half of the coracoacromial ligament to reconstruct the coracoclavicular ligament in patients with complete acromioclavicular joint dislocation.
  • Methods: A total of 26 patients underwent surgery from January 2006 to June 2012, using ligament transfer along with internal fixation techniques. All patients were followed for an average of 18 months post-surgery, assessing clinical outcomes through X-rays and the Constant-Murley score.
  • Results: The surgical procedure resulted in primary healing with no major complications, and significant recovery of shoulder function was noted. At the final follow-up, 24 patients had excellent outcomes according to the Constant-M

Objective: To summarize the experience of percutaneous fixation of scaphoid fractures with Herbert screws through volar approach, and provide a reliable and efficient treatment method for scaphoid fractures.

Methods: From April 2008 to September 2012,15 patients with scaphoid fractures were treated by percutaneous fixation with Herbert cannulated screws through volar approach including 14 males and 1 female with an average age of 35 years ranging from 25 to 45 years old. Among them, 10 cases were on left side and 5 cases were on right side.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect and prognostic factors of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in 44 children and adolescents.

Methods: From June 1987 to December 2003,44 children and adolescents with nasopharyngeal carcinoma were treated by radiotherapy, and some patients also received chemotherapy. Kaplan-Meier method was used for the survival rate and univariate analysis, and Cox proportional hazard model was used in multivariate analysis.
