The early treatment of Osteonecrosis of Femoral Head (ONFH) remains a clinical challenge. Conventional Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell (BMSC) injection methods often result in unsatisfactory outcomes due to mechanical cell damage, low cell survival and retention rates, inadequate cell matrix accumulation, and poor intercellular interaction. In this study, we employed a novel cell carrier material termed "3D Microscaffold" to deliver BMSCs, addressing these issues and enhancing the therapeutic effects of cell therapy for ONFH.

Currently, there is a paucity of comprehensive descriptions regarding the immunoregulatory mechanisms and early diagnostic biomarkers associated with PMOP. This study aims to examine immune-related differentially expressed genes (IR-DEGs) in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of PMOP patients to identify immunological patterns and diagnostic biomarkers.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Osteomyelitis (OM) is recognized as a significant challenge in orthopedics due to its complex immune and inflammatory responses. The prognosis heavily depends on timely diagnosis, accurate classification, and assessment of severity. Thus, the identification of diagnostic and classification-related genes from an immunological standpoint is crucial for the early detection and tailored treatment of OM.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Although an increasing number of antibiotics are being used to treat bone and joint infections, their specific efficacy remains controversial. Thus, we aimed to systematically compare the efficacy and safety of antibiotic therapies for orthopedic infections.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched from inception to April 2022.
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common chronic articular disease worldwide. It is also the most common form of OA and is characterized by high morbidity and disability rates. With the gradual increase in life expectancy and ageing population, KOA not only affects the quality of life of patients, but also poses a burden on global public health.

Present study was aimed to explore the molecular subgroups of S.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: (SA)-induced osteomyelitis (OM) is one of the most common refractory diseases in orthopedics. Early diagnosis is beneficial to improve the prognosis of patients. Ferroptosis plays a key role in inflammation and immune response, while the mechanism of ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) in SA-induced OM is still unclear.

Circular RNAs (CircRNA) have garnered considerable attention in molecular malignancy therapy as they are potentially important modulators. However, the roles of circRNAs and hypoxia in osteosarcoma (OS) progression have not yet been elucidated.

Methods: Highly prognosis-related hub genes were identified by independent prognostic analysis in the GSE17679 dataset.
Background: Osteomyelitis is among the most difficult to treat diseases in the field of orthopedics, and there is a lack of effective treatment modalities. Exploring the mechanisms of its development is beneficial for finding molecular targets for treatment. Increasing evidence suggests that macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), as a proinflammatory mediator, is not only involved in various pathophysiological processes of inflammation but also plays an important role in osteogenic differentiation, while its specific regulatory mechanism in osteomyelitis remains unclear.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAs a recurrent inflammatory bone disease, the treatment of osteomyelitis is always a tricky problem in orthopaedics. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) regulators play significant roles in immune and inflammatory responses. Nevertheless, the function of m6A modification in osteomyelitis remains unclear.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Despite the surge in the number of antibiotics used to treat preclinical osteomyelitis (OM), their efficacy remains inadequately assessed.
Objective: To establish network comparisons on the efficacy of antibiotic regimens on OM in animal studies.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library were searched from inception to March 2022 for relevant articles.

Objective: To summarize the mechanism of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in signal pathways related to osteogenic differentiation.
Methods: Relevant domestic and foreign researches in recent years were consulted. The characteristics and biological functions of lncRNA were introduced, and the specific mechanism of lncRNA regulating related signal pathways in osteogenic differentiation was elaborated.
Background: Present work was aimed to gather accessible evidence on the eradication rates and related postoperative complications of antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate (CS) as an implant in the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis (COM).
Methods: Databases including PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, Ovid and Cochrane library were searched from their dates of initiation until November 2021. Two independent authors scrutinized the relevant studies based on the effectiveness of radical debridement combined with antibiotic-loaded CS for COM; data extraction and quality assessment of the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) criteria were also performed by the authors.
Recently, various studies have identified circular RNAs (circRNAs) to play a significant role in tumorigenesis, thereby showing potential as novel tumor biomarkers. circSIPA1L1 is a newly discoveredcircular RNA, which is formed by back-splicing of SIPA1L1 and is found increased in osteosarcoma (OS). Nevertheless, the specific functions of circSIPA1L1 in OS remain unknown.
