Objective: To compare clinical effect between open reduction and fixation with cannulated screw and threaded rivet via posteromedial approach versus arthroscopic Endobutton plate fixation in treating posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures.
Methods: Clinical data of 38 patients with posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures from July 2020 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively, and divided into open reduction and internal fixation group (posterior medial approach hollow anchor system fixation) and arthroscopic fixation group (Endobutton with loop plate fixation under arthroscopy). There were 20 patients in open reduction and internal fixation group, including 16 males and 4 females, aged from 26 to 74 years old with an average of (42.
Palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1(PPT1) is a lysosomal enzyme that catalyzes the protein depalmitoylation. It is considered to play a crucial role in regulating lysosomes, mitochondria and lipid metabolism. PPT1 has been reported to play an important role in the occurrence and progression of diseases, such as neurological diseases and cancers.

Methods: PacBio long-read sequencing, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and Hi-C sequencing were employed in this study to generate a novel genome of D.
STIM1 (stromal interaction molecule 1) is one of the key components of the store operated Ca entry channel (SOCE), which is located on the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and highly expressed in most kinds of tumors. STIM1 promotes tumorigenesis and metastasis by modulating the formation of invadopodia, promoting angiogenesis, mediating inflammatory response, altering the cytoskeleton and cell dynamics. However, the roles and mechanism of STIM1 in different tumors have not been fully elucidated.

In breast cancer FSCN1 is highly expressed in basal-like and triple negative subgroups. There is significant progress in understanding the role of fascin in breast cancer.

MT1-MMP (membrane type 1 metalloprotease) is an important metallopeptidase, which is located on plasma membrane and highly expressed in most tumors. MT1-MMP promotes cancer metastasis through affecting the extracellular matrix remodeling, angiogenesis, lipid metabolism, and inflammation.

Objective: Determine the factors associated with early and late recurrence in patients with node-negative GC.
Design: Retrospective cohort.
Purposes: The lymph node ratio (LNR) has been considered a better prognostic factor than traditional N staging in patients with gastric cancer (GC), but its accuracy is unclear for those who receive neoadjuvant therapy (NAT). We aimed to compare the node ratio (Nr) staging with the ypN staging and to thereby develop a modified staging system incorporating Nr staging.
Methods: A total of 1791 patients who underwent gastrectomy after NAT in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database were retrospectively analyzed.
To study the effect of combined ultraviolet (UV) chloramine disinfection on viruses in a drinking water supply system, a full-scale experiment was conducted to analyze the distribution, variability, community structure, and hosts of viruses using metagenomics. The results showed that the combined UV chloramine process reduced the number of virus species (6.13%) and gene abundance (51.

However, the most accurate prognostic marker for patients with gastric cancer remains undetermined. We aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio for outcomes in gastric cancer patients after radical gastrectomy.

Objective: To observe the change of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) patients, and to study the effect of Qingyi Chengqi Decoction (QCD) on it.
Methods: Eighty-six SAP patients from Department of General Surgery and Department of Digestive Diseases, Qingyang People's Hospital, Gansu Province, who were in line with diagnosis standard of SAP, were assigned to the treatment group (44 cases) and the control group (42 cases) from March 2012 to May 2013. All patients received routine Western medicine.

To demonstrate and evaluate five different methods in the determination of temporal clustering on infectious diseases. The incidence rates of bacillary dysentery in Jinshui district, Zhengzhou city, Henan province from 2008 to 2010 were analyzed by 5 different methods-Cluster Analysis, Runs Test, Negative Binomial Distribution, Circular Distribution and Concentration Ratio. Through Cluster Analysis, data showed that the epidemic period was from May to Sept.

Objective: To evaluate the dentin and enamel bonding strength and resin-dentin interfaces of four resin cements.
Methods: Twenty-four sound freshly extracted molars were sectioned with low-speed saw under running water. Two mesial-distal enamel disc and two buccal-lingual dentin discs were sectioned from each molar.
Objective: To investigate the stress shielding rate, ultrastructural and biomechanical property of the healing bone fixed by Swan-like Shape Memory Connector (SMC) during experimental fracture healing in rabbits.
Methods: Unilateral osteotomy of left humeral diaphysis was performed in 140 adult New Zealand rabbits. The humeral fracture was fixed with SMC in study group and 4-hole dynamic compression plate (DCP) in control group.
