Silica nanoparticle-modified microcomb electrode for voltammetry detection of osteopontin with high sensitivity.

Osteosarcoma is a commonly occurring bone malignancy, and it is the second most common cause of cancer deaths in adolescents and children. A sensitive silica nanoparticle (Si-NP) modified current-volt sensor was introduced to identify the osteopontin antigen, a well-known biomarker for osteosarcoma. Si-NP was extracted from the rice husk ash and utilized for the surface functionalization on the interdigitated microelectrode sensing surface.

Intramedullary versus extramedullary fixation in the management of subtrochanteric femur fractures: a meta-analysis.

Background: Intramedullary and extramedullary fixation methods are used in the management of subtrochanteric femur fractures. However, whether intramedullary or extramedullary fixation is the primary treatment for subtrochanteric femur fractures in adults remains debatable.

Level Of Evidence: Meta-analyses of prospective studies, level I.

Comparison of primary radial head replacement and ORIF (open reduction and internal fixation) in Mason type III fractures: a retrospective evaluation in 72 elderly patients.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare radial head prosthesis replacement with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in the surgical treatment of Mason type III radial head fractures in 72 elderly patients.

Material/methods: Seventy-two elderly patients (mean age, 67.1±1.

Genetic G2548A polymorphism of leptin gene and risk of cancer: a meta-analysis of 6860 cases and 7956 controls.

Purpose: The results from the published studies on the association between LEP (leptin) genetic polymorphism and cancer risk are conflicting. The common G2548A genetic polymorphism has been reported to be functional and may contribute to genetic susceptibility to cancers. However, the association between LEP G2548A genetic polymorphism and cancer risk remains inconclusive.

A study on the mechanical characteristics of the EBM-printed Ti-6Al-4V LCP plates in vitro.

Purpose: The electron beam melting (EBM) Ti-6Al-4V material technology has been developed over a short time period. It was introduced through a research to develop Ti-6Al-4V implants for patients, but EBM printed locking compression plates have not been used for clinical implants. The main purpose of this study is to find whether the EBM Ti-6Al-4V plate suit for clinical implants.

Lack of association between Lys656Asn or Ser343Ser polymorphisms and cancer susceptibility: A meta-analysis.

Previous studies have shown conflicting results between the association of leptin receptor () genetic polymorphisms and cancer risk. The frequent Lys656Asn or Ser343Ser genetic polymorphism has been demonstrated to be functional and may promote genetic susceptibility to cancers. However, the association between the Lys656Asn or Ser343Ser genetic polymorphism and cancer risk remains to be determined.

Lack of association between LEPR Q223R polymorphisms and cancer susceptibility: evidence from a meta-analysis.

Purpose: The results from the published studies on the association between LEPR genetic polymorphisms and cancer risk are conflicting. The common LEPR Q223R genetic polymorphism has been reported to be functional and may contribute to genetic susceptibility to cancer. However, the association between LEPR Q223R genetic polymorphism and cancer risk remains inconclusive.

Association of LEPR K109R polymorphisms with cancer risk: a systematic review and pooled analysis.

Purpose: This meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the association between LEPR K109R (rs1137100) genetic polymorphism and cancer risk.

Methods: To better understand the role of LEPR K109R(rs1137100) genetic polymorphism in global cancer, we conducted this comprehensive meta-analysis encompassing 5819 cases and 8068 controls.

Results: Overall, the LEPR K109R(rs1137100) genetic polymorphism did not significantly affect the risk of cancer.

Association of LEP A19G polymorphism with cancer risk: a systematic review and pooled analysis.

The results from the published studies on the association between leptin (LEP) genetic polymorphism and cancer risk are conflicting. The common A19G (rs2167270) genetic polymorphism has been reported to be functional and may contribute to genetic susceptibility to cancers. However, the association between LEP A19G (rs2167270) genetic polymorphism and cancer risk remains inconclusive.
