Comparison of computer-assisted navigated technology and conventional technology in high tibial osteotomy (HTO): a meta-analysis.

Background: Though some studies have reported navigated high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a useful procedure to correct knee deformity. There is still great controversy whether navigated HTO can achieve better accuracy of limb alignment and greater clinical outcomes. Current meta-analysis was conducted to investigate whether better radiographic outcomes and clinical outcomes could be acquired in navigated HTO compared with the conventional procedure.

Comparison of computer-assisted navigated technology and conventional technology in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: a meta-analysis.

Background: Though unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a useful procedure to treat knee osteoarthritis, it remains a great controversial point as to if navigated systems are able to achieve better accuracy of limb alignment and greater clinic results. Current meta-analysis was conducted to explore if better clinical outcomes and radiographic outcomes could be acquired in the navigated system when compared with conventional procedures.

Methods: We identified studies in the online databases, including Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Web of Science before May 2021.

Identification of N6-methylandenosine related LncRNAs biomarkers associated with the overall survival of osteosarcoma.

Purpose: Osteosarcoma (OS) is a differentiation disease caused by the genetic and epigenetic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts. OS is a common, highly malignant tumor in children and adolescents. Fifteen to 20 % of the patients find distant metastases at their first visit.

Identification of potential micro-messenger RNAs (miRNA-mRNA) interaction network of osteosarcoma.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant tumor in children and adolescents. Numerous studies have reported the importance of miRNA in OS. The purpose of this study is to predict potential biomarkers and new therapeutic targets for OS diagnosis and prognosis by analyzing miRNAs of OS plasma samples from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database.

Antibacterial Effect of Copper Sulfide Nanoparticles on Infected Wound Healing.

It is widely acknowledged that pathogenic germs delay wound healing to some extent. To explore factors influencing the wound healing process, the current study was conducted to evaluate the antibacterial effect of topical application of copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) in vitro and on infected wound healing process in the rat model. In this study, the morphology and size of CuS NPs were detected.

Comparison of Suture-Button Versus Syndesmotic Screw in the Treatment of Distal Tibiofibular Syndesmosis Injury: A Meta-analysis.

Traditionally screw fixation is an effective surgical procedure for the treatment of unstable syndesmosis injuries. However, it is still a controversy whether suture-button (SB) device can achieve better clinical outcomes and decrease the risk of complications compared with syndesmotic screw (SS). The present meta-analysis was conducted to figure out whether SB fixation was superior to traditionally screw fixation.

Comparison of robotic-assisted versus conventional unicompartmental knee arthroplasty for the treatment of single compartment knee osteoarthritis: A meta-analysis.

Background: The robotic-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is proposed to improve the accuracy of component positioning.

Methods: We conducted a literature search in Medline, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library until April 2020.

Results: Our meta-analysis included 10 articles, involving 1231 knees.

Quercetin reduces tendon adhesion in rat through suppression of oxidative stress.

Background: Tendon adhesion is one of the most common clinical problems, which poses a considerable challenge to orthopedics doctors. Quercetin (QUE) as a popular drug at present, it has various biological functions, including anti-inflammatory, anti-ischemic, anti-peroxidation, and antioxidant. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of quercetin on tendon adhesion and whether quercetin can inhibit oxidative stress.
