A New Zn(II) Compound: Luminescent Property and Promoting Knee Cartilage Repair by Modulating Iron Death.

The hydrothermal reactions of bis{6-{5-methyl-1 H,7 H-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-one}}methane (L) and Zn(NO)·6HO at 180 ℃ afforded a novel Zn(II) coordination polymer (CP), that is, {[Zn(L)(µ-O)]·3HO} (1), which further characterized via Single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD), elemental analysis (EA), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Besides, this CP reveals strong luminescence that may be caused by the charge transfer within the ligand. In biological study, the new compound was evaluated for its protective effect on chondrocytes.

Malposition is main cause of failure of Oxford mobile-bearing medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.

Aims: Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is the preferred treatment for anterior medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) owing to the rapid postoperative recovery. However, the risk factors for UKA failure remain controversial.

Methods: The clinical data of Oxford mobile-bearing UKAs performed between 2011 and 2017 with a minimum follow-up of five years were retrospectively analyzed.

Correlation Between Level of Interleukin-37 and Rheumatoid Arthritis Progression.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease that primarily affects joints. Interleukin-37 (IL-37) is an anti-inflammatory cytokine that is known to suppress immune response and inflammation. The objective of this study is to evaluate the correlation between level of IL-37 and RA progression using the disease activity score in 28 joints (DAS-28).

The infection of Mycoplasma hominis after total knee replacement: Case report and literature review.

The Mycoplasma hominis infection is a rare postoperative complication after joint replacement. Based on our knowledge, there were only two cases reported by Korea all over the world currently. A case of postoperative Mycoplasma hominis infection after total knee replacement in our hospital was reported in this article.
