Clinical exploration of the international society of limb salvage classification of endoprosthetic failure using Henderson in the application of 3D-printed pelvic tumor prostheses.

Background: The use of 3D-printed pelvic prosthesis for postoperative reconstruction after pelvic tumor resection has become one of the primary reconstruction methods the incidence of complications related to postoperative prosthesis reconstruction is high. Drawing on the failure of the type of bone tumor reconstruction in Henderson,the occurrence of postoperative complications was explored to take advantage of the design improvement of the 3D-printed prosthesis of subsequent pelvic tumors.

Methods: The data for patients who underwent 3D-printed pelvic tumor prostheses in the Department of Bone and Soft Tissue Surgery at the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from January 2019 to October 2022 were collected and analyzed.

LncRNA UCA1 accelerates osteosarcoma progression via miR-145 and Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Long non-coding (lnc) urothelial cancer associated 1 (UCA1) has been confirmed to participate in osteosarcoma (OS), but its specific mechanism is still under investigation. The study was designed to reveal the interaction between UCA1 and its downstream effector molecules, so as to determine whether there is any interaction of regulating physiological processes in tumor cells. Here, we studied the signaling cascade involving UCA1, miR-145, and HMGA1.

Anti-neoplastic characteristics and potential targets of calycosin against bisphenol A-related osteosarcoma: bioinformatics analysis.

Environmentally, bisphenol A (BPA) is a well-known pollutant caused human health risk, including osteosarcoma (OS). OS, a deadly bone neoplasia, may occur in children and adults. However, the anti-OS pharmacotherapy prescribes limitedly in clinical practice.

Integrative findings indicate anti-tumor biotargets and molecular mechanisms of calycosin against osteosarcoma.

Calycosin is reportedly evidenced with pharmacologically treating bone cells. However, the comprehensive anti-osteosarcoma (OS) mechanisms of calycosin have not been uncovered. By using a systemic method of network pharmacology, the present study aimed to reveal potential anti-OS biotargets and molecular mechanisms played by calycosin.

miR-17-5p Regulates Heterotopic Ossification by Targeting ANKH in Ankylosing Spondylitis.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized with heterotopic ossification of the axis joints ligaments, resulting in joint disability. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are regulators of mRNAs that play a crucial role in the AS pathological process. Here, we showed that the level of miR-17-5p was significantly higher in fibroblasts and ligament tissues from AS patients as compared to the non-AS individuals.

Risk of hip fracture in patients on dialysis or kidney transplant: a meta-analysis of 14 cohort studies.

Purpose: We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis of published cohort studies to evaluate the risk of hip fracture in patients undergoing dialysis or kidney transplantation (KT).

Methods: We identified relevant studies by searching PubMed, EMBASE and Google Scholar databases from their inception to December 31, 2017. Cohort studies evaluating risk of hip fractures in patients undergoing dialysis or KT were considered included.

Significance of circulating tumor cells in osteosarcoma patients treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery.

Purpose: By examining and identifying circulating tumor cell (CTC) counts and subtypes of peripheral blood in osteosarcoma patients, we evaluated the relationship between CTCs and characteristics of osteosarcoma patients, as well as CTC changes after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery.

Methods: CanPatrol™ CTC technology was used to detect CTCs in peripheral blood before and after treatment in 32 osteosarcoma patients. Peripheral blood samples from 10 healthy volunteers were included as controls and examined for the presence of CTCs.

A Human Chondrocyte-Derived In Vitro Model of Alcohol-Induced and Steroid-Induced Femoral Head Necrosis.

BACKGROUND Worldwide, femoral head necrosis (FHN), which is also known as avascular necrosis of the femoral head or osteonecrosis of the femoral head, affects millions of people. Excess alcohol intake and steroid use are two common associations with FHN, but their pathogenesis remains unknown. The aim of this study was to develop an in vitro model using human chondrocytes to study alcohol-induced and steroid-induced FHN.

Effect of metformin on ossification and inflammation of fibroblasts in ankylosing spondylitis: An in vitro study.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by fibroblasts ossification. However, effective drug therapy for AS is lacking. As an antidiabetic drug, metformin has demonstrated an antiosteogenic effect on osteoblasts in vitro.

Effect of NGF From Venom of Chinese Cobra (Naja Atra)on Chondrocytes Proliferation and Metabolism In Vitro.

Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) is promising strategy for cartilage repair. However, chondrocyte phenotype is easily lost when expanded in vitro which defined as "dedifferentiation." To ensure successful therapy, an effective pro-chondrogenic agent is necessary to overcome the obstacle of limited cell numbers in the restoration process, and dedifferentiation is a prerequisite.

[Treatment of children with femoral subtrochanteric fracture with advanced elastic intramedullary nail technology].

Objective: To explore curative effects of advanced elastic intramedullary nail technology in treating children with femoral subtrochanteric fracture.

Methods: Form March 2009 to December 2010, 16 children with femoral subtrochanteric fracture were treated with advanced elastic intramedullary nail technology. There were 12 males and 4 females ranging in age from 7 to 15 years old with a mean of 9.
