Reconstruction of Allen's type IV fingertip amputation via bilateral unequal-sized hallux osteo-onychocutaneous free flaps: A retrospective study with 5-year follow-up.

Purpose: The reconstruction of Allen's type IV fingertip amputation is a clinical challenge. Our team designed bilateral unequal-sized hallux osteo-onychocutaneous free flaps for the long-term reconstruction of Allen's type IV fingertip amputation and conducted a retrospective study with a 5-year follow-up aims to evaluate the effects of this technique.

Methods: A retrospective analysis with a 5-year follow-up including 13 patients with Allen's type IV fingertip amputation who were admitted to our hospital from January 2010 to January 2017 was conducted.

Bio-mechanical effects of femoral neck system versus cannulated screws on treating young patients with Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures: a finite element analysis.

Introduction: As a novel internal fixation for femoral neck fractures, the femoral neck system has some advantages for young Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures without clear biomechanical effects and mechanisms. Thus, the objection of the study is to realize the biomechanical effects and mechanism of FNS cannulated screws on treating young patients with Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures compared to cannulated screws which are commonly used for femoral neck fractures by finite element analysis.

Methods: Firstly, the model of young Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures, femoral neck system (FNS), and three cannulated screws (CS) arranged in an inverted triangle were established, and the internal fixations were set up to fix young Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures.

Neuroprotective effects of tetramethylpyrazine on spinal cord injury-Related neuroinflammation mediated by P2X7R/NLRP3 interaction.

Objective: The inflammatory response is acknowledged as a crucial pathological aspect of spinal cord injury (SCI). Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) has been demonstrated to possess neuroprotective properties within the central nervous system via its anti-inflammatory mechanisms. This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanism by which TMP alleviates SCI from an anti-inflammatory standpoint.

The reconstruction of fingertip injury by mini hallux toenail flap pedicled with the hallux transverse artery and toe pulp vein transplantation technique based on the equivalent design theory.

Introduction: How to reconstruct the damaged fingertip is a clinical problem. Our team propose the theory of equivalent design and use the mini toenail flap pedicled with the hallux transverse artery and toe pulp vein transplantation technique to reconstruct Allen's type II fingertip injury. Thus, we perform the retrospective study to evaluate the effects of this technique on fingertip injury.

Femoral neck system vs. cannulated screws on treating femoral neck fracture: a meta-analysis and system review.

Objective: This meta-analysis aimed to compare the relative safety and efficacy of cannulated compression screw (CCS) and femoral neck system (FNS) in treating patients with femoral neck fractures and to provide evidence-based medical evidence for FNS in treating femoral neck fractures.

Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases were searched to collect outcomes related to femoral neck fractures treated with FNS and CCS, including time to fracture healing, incidence of non-union, incidence of osteonecrosis of the femoral head, incidence of failure of internal fixation, rate of femoral neck shortening, Harris hip score, Barthel index, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, fluoroscopy frequency, and complications. A meta-analysis was performed using RevManv5.
