LINC01271 promotes fracture healing via regulating miR-19a-3p/PIK3CA axis.

Objective: Osteoporosis increases the risk of fragility fractures, impacting patients' lives. This study aimed to investigate whether LINC01271 was involved in the process of fragility fractures and healing, providing a new perspective for its diagnosis and treatment.

Methods: This study included 94 healthy individuals, 82 patients with osteoporosis, and 85 patients with fragility fractures as subjects.

lncRNA CASC11 regulates the progress of delayed fracture healing via sponging miR-150-3p.

Background: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays a pivotal role in bone regeneration by interaction with microRNAs (miRNAs) and constructing a lncRNA-miRNA regulatory network.

Objectives: This research aimed to elucidate the role of lncRNA CASC11 in the delayed healing process of tibial fractures and to explore its potential regulatory mechanisms.

Materials And Methods: The expression levels of CASC11 and miR-150-3p in serum samples were detected and the predictive capability of CASC11 regarding delayed healing in fracture patients.

Understanding internationalization variance within a sport brand: case study of the Sparta Prague ice hockey and football clubs.

This article examines the internationalization of HC Sparta Prague (ice hockey) and AC Sparta Prague (football) by focusing on management decision-making. Using interviews with key personnel, it explores the varying levels of internationalization in these clubs, emphasizing their reliance on foreign players, the utility of foreign ownership, fan responses to foreign coaching, and marketing efforts toward foreigners. Football, being more global, is subject to 'Europeanization,' whereas ice hockey, centered in North America, is influenced by 'Americanization' and 'eventification.

Complete degradation of polystyrene microplastics through non-thermal plasma-assisted catalytic oxidation.

In this study, a two-stage system, involving plasma degradation coupled with plasma-assisted catalytic oxidation, was developed for the degradation of polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) at low temperatures. The dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma contributed reactive oxygen species (ROS) for the degradation of PS-MPs, and the plasma-assisted Hopcalite catalyst selectively facilitated the final oxidation of by-products to CO. Within 60 min, the conversion rate of PS-MPs to CO, α(CO), reached an impressive 98.

Quantitative sustainability assessment for in-situ electrical resistance heating coupled with steam enhanced extraction: An effective approach for the development of green remediation technologies.

There is a lack of quantitative methodology for the sustainability assessment based on field data in the process of innovative technology development for groundwater remediation. This study developed a quantitative assessment framework, a model based on the life cycle assessment integrated with best management practices (LCA-BMPs), to evaluate the environmental, economic, and social sustainability of in-situ electrical resistance heating coupled with steam enhanced extraction (ERH-SEE), an innovative technology being demonstrated in the field. The results indicated that ERH-SEE offered better environmental sustainability performance compared to ERH only, with a reduction in carbon emissions by 52.
