Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains a significant challenge in oncology due to its aggressive nature and heterogeneity. As one of the deadliest malignancies, ESCC research lags behind other cancer types. The balance between ubiquitination and deubiquitination processes plays a crucial role in cellular functions, with its disruption linked to various diseases, including cancer.

The concept of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) has received much attention over the past 20 years. Currently, it is believed that FAIS can lead to intra-articular pathologies such as labral tears and articular cartilage lesions, resulting in clinical symptoms and subsequent poor clinical outcomes. FAIS-related articular cartilage lesions are common but unique, and their natural course always leads to early osteoarthritis of the hip.

Objective: This study aims to understand the current status and trend of the disease burden of osteoarthritis (OA) in people over 30 years old in China from 1990 to 2021 and identify the priority population groups, to provide reference data for the prevention and treatment of OA in China.

Methods: The Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 was used to describe the incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of OA in adult aged 30 years or older in China by sex and age groups, which was used to analyze the disease burden of OA from 1990 to 2021. The joinpoint regression model and age-period-cohort model were used to characterize the temporal trend.

Article Synopsis
  • Osteoarthritis and sports injuries result in cartilage defects, prompting research into ways to repair and rebuild smooth cartilage surfaces.
  • Kartogenin (KGN), a recently discovered small molecule, promotes the growth and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, showing promise in cartilage healing.
  • Due to its poor water solubility, KGN requires innovative delivery methods, often in combination with other drugs and tissue engineering techniques, to enhance its effectiveness in cartilage regeneration.

Acetabular cartilage delamination is commonly seen in patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), especially ones with the cam deformity. However, the definition and classification of acetabular cartilage injuries caused by FAI to guide clinical treatment remain controversial. Moreover, treatment of acetabular cartilage damage always causes a dilemma for surgeon during surgery.

Testicular torsion is a critical urologic condition for which testicular detorsion surgery is considered irreplaceable as well as the golden method of reversal. However, the surgical treatment is equivalent to a blood reperfusion process, and no specific drugs are available to treat blood reperfusion injuries. Salidroside (SAL) is one of the main effective substances in rhodiola, which has been shown to have antioxidant and antiapoptosis activities.

Article Synopsis
  • The study reviews various surgical approaches for total hip arthroplasty (THA) and their impact on muscle damage, aiming to help clinicians prevent and identify post-operative complications.
  • Different surgical methods, such as the posterior, lateral, anterior, and minimally invasive approaches, cause varying levels of damage to specific muscle groups, affecting patient outcomes and recovery times.
  • MRI evaluations reveal that minimally invasive techniques lead to less muscle damage, making them more suitable for elderly patients, while traditional approaches, especially posterior ones, increase the risk of complications like dislocation and claudication.

In the context of defect detection in high-speed railway train wheels, particularly in ultrasonic-testing B-scan images characterized by their small size and complexity, the need for a robust solution is paramount. The proposed algorithm, UT-YOLO, was meticulously designed to address the specific challenges presented by these images. UT-YOLO enhances its learning capacity, accuracy in detecting small targets, and overall processing speed by adopting optimized convolutional layers, a special layer design, and an attention mechanism.

Osteoarthritis (OA), the commonest arthritis, is characterized by the progressive destruction of cartilage, leading to disability. The Current early clinical treatment strategy for OA often centers on anti-inflammatory or analgesia medication, weight loss, improved muscular function and articular cartilage repair. Although these treatments can relieve symptoms, OA tends to be progressive, and most patients require arthroplasty at the terminal stages of OA.
