Background: Osteosarcoma (OS) is a highly malignant primary bone tumor. Family of homology 60A (FAM60A) reportedly contributes to the malignant growth of some tumors.
Methods: Herein we investigated the mRNA expression level of FAM60A by combining OS and non-cancer samples from public databases.
Article Synopsis
- A 22-year-old man suffered a comminuted patellar fracture after a traffic accident, which made it difficult to repair due to the complexity of the fracture.
- The treatment involved using multiple 3D-printed guide plates to assist in the reduction and fixation of the fracture.
- Over a 2-year follow-up, the patient experienced good recovery without significant limitations in knee function, highlighting the effectiveness of this innovative technique in surgical treatment.
Article Synopsis
- - This study evaluated the effects of a hydroxyapatite bone repair scaffold coated with bone morphogenetic protein-2 on murine calvarial defect models, reviewing the quality of these studies based on specific reporting guidelines.
- - Out of 12 eligible studies, most had average quality scores, with key deficiencies in reporting aspects like housing, allocation, and generalizability.
- - The use of bone morphogenetic protein-2 significantly improved bone regeneration and blood vessel formation in these models, but the results indicated a lack of uniformity across the studies, emphasizing the need for adherence to reporting guidelines for better research integrity.
Article Synopsis
- - This systematic review focuses on summarizing clinical studies concerning scaffolds used in repairing bony defects.
- - A thorough search on PubMed yielded 373 articles, but only 20 met the criteria for inclusion, covering both biological (like collagen) and synthetic scaffolds (such as HAp and TCP) in their analysis.
- - While the review found that scaffolds can effectively aid bone repair and regeneration, it highlighted the need for better guidelines and higher-quality research in this area.
