The correlation between calcaneocuboid joint involvement and sustentacular fragment displacement among male patients with displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures.

Sustentacular fragment displacement is not uncommon in calcaneal fractures. The factors that suggest a possible displacement of sustentacular fragment are still unclear. Displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures with calcaneocuboid joint involvement are the most common type of calcaneal fracture.

Effects of Multimodal Analgesia Combined with Comfort Management on Pain and Stress Indexes in Patients with Orthopedic Trauma after Intervention: A Retrospective Study.

Aim: This study aims to assess the impact of combining multimodal analgesia with comfort care on pain levels, stress, negative emotions, and quality of life in individuals recovering from traumatic fractures.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed clinical data from traumatic fracture patients who underwent emergency operations at our hospital between June 2022 and February 2024. Patients were divided into two groups based on their postoperative pain management: the control group, which received standard measures, and the exposure group, which received a combination of multimodal analgesia and comfort-based care.

Articular cartilage degradation is prevented by tanshinone IIA through inhibiting apoptosis and the expression of inflammatory cytokines.

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of tanshinone IIA on the degradation of articular cartilage in a rat model of osteoarthritis (OA). The OA rat model was established by anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) and medial meniscus resection (MMx). The animals were treated for 28 days with 0.

A study on role of triiodothyronine (T3) hormone on the improvement of articular cartilage surface architecture.

The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of triiodothyronine (T3) on the improvement of articular cartilage surface architecture at in vitro level. The T3 hormone was applied to neo-tissues in the range of 50, 100, 150 and 200ng/ml for 5 weeks. At the end of the treatment, biochemical and histological evaluation was carried out in the neo-tissues.

Genetic variations in the KIR gene family may contribute to susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis: a meta-analysis.

The present meta-analysis of relevant case-control studies was conducted to investigate the possible relationships between genetic variations in the killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) gene clusters of the human KIR gene family and susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The following electronic databases were searched for relevant articles without language restrictions: the Web of Science, the Cochrane Library Database, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, the Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM) and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases, covering all papers published until 2013. STATA statistical software was adopted in this meta-analysis as well.
