Objective: To explore the efficacy of high tibial osteotomy (HTO) combined with medial meniscus centralization in knee osteoarthritis.
Methods: A total of 26 patients who underwent surgery from October 2018 to October 2020 were reviewed. Among them, 14 patients underwent high tibial osteotomy combined with arthroscopic meniscus centralization surgery were centralized group, including 8 males and 6 females, with an average age of (50.
Objective: To assess the factors associated with outcomes of arthroscopic surgical repair of rotator cuff tears (RCTs).
Method: This prospective study recruited patients, at least 18 years old, who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair for full-thickness RCTs at the First People's Hospital of Hangzhou Xiaoshan between July 2019 and October 2020. Patient demographics, lifestyle habits, and medical histories were collected preoperatively; RCT sizes and affected tendons were determined intraoperatively.
Objective: To explore clinical effects of intramedullary nailing through suprapatellar approach with semiextended position in treating tibial fractures.
Methods: From January 2018 to June 2019, 23 patients with tibia fractures were treated with suprapatellar approach intramedullary nailing on knee semiextended position, including 18 males and 5 females, aged from 26 to 67 years old with an average age of (38.5±9.
It has been known that the successful reprogramming of differentiated human somatic cells into a pluripotent state would allow for the creation of cartilage cells. However, current virus‑mediated strategies to form induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are limited in their clinical application due to exogenous gene modification. In the present study, the piggyBac transposon system carrying corresponding genes (Oct3/4, Klf4, Sox2 and c‑Myc) was employed to reprogram rat embryonic fibroblasts (REFs) into iPSCs, and the transposon‑carried genes were successfully removed by a transposase system.
