Article Synopsis
  • A study assessed the effectiveness of a modified arthroscopic suture button fixation Latarjet procedure for treating recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations in 30 patients, averaging 27.3 years old, over a follow-up period of 36-60 months.* -
  • Patients experienced an average of 4.9 dislocations prior to surgery and displayed significant improvements in joint pain and function as measured by multiple scoring systems (VAS, UCLA, Rowe, ASES, Walch-Duplay) post-operation, with more improvement over time.* -
  • The surgical procedure had an average duration of 68.4 minutes, all incisions healed without complications, and imaging revealed successful coracoid graft healing and glenoid defect correction.*

Background: Traditional total hip arthroplasty (THA) using the direct anterior approach (DAA) requires a hip extension. This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing THA with DAA using either the no hip extension (NHE) or the traditional hip extension (THE) strategy.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of demographics, clinical and radiological outcomes, and occurrence of complications was performed using data from 123 patients treated between January 2020 and November 2021.

Objective: To investigate whether the Runx2 gene can induce the differentiation of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) to ligament fibroblasts and promote the tendon-bone healing in rabbits.

Methods: hAMSCs were isolated from the placentas voluntarily donated from healthy parturients and passaged, and then identified by flow cytometric identification. Adenoviral vectors carrying Runx2 gene (Ad-Runx2) and empty vector adenovirus (Ad-NC) were constructed and viral titer assay; then, the 3rd generation hAMSCs were transfected with Ad-Runx2 (Ad-Runx2 group) or Ad-NC (Ad-NC group).

Objective: To establish a visual reporting system for evaluating the activity of collagen Ⅰ α 1 chain () gene promoter in immortalized human hepatic stellate cells, so as to estimate the activation status of the cells and provide a new cell model for the screening and study of anti-hepatic fibrosis drugs.

Methods: The promoter sequence of human was amplified from the genomic DNA of human hepatocarcinoma cell line HepG2. Based on the pLVX-AcGFP1-N1 plasmid, the recombinant plasmid pLVX-COL1A1-enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) was constructed, in which the enhanced green fluorescent protein gene expression was regulated by the promoter.

Objective: To evaluate the short-term effectiveness of modified arthroscopic Latarjet procedure with double EndoButtons for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation.

Methods: Between January 2019 and November 2020, 36 patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation were treated by modified arthroscopic Latarjet procedure with double EndoButtons. There were 26 males and 10 females, with an average age of 27.
