Impact of surgeon volume on the risk of complications following volar locking plating of unstable distal radius fracture.

Complications following volar locking plating (VLP) of distal radius fracture (DRF) are frequent. Increasing evidence has shown an inverse relationship between increased surgeon experience and fewer complications in a variety of surgeries, and this study aimed to verify whether this relationship existed when specified in the DRF surgically treated with VLP. Patients with an unstable DRF surgically treated by VLP in our institution between January 2016 and December 2021 were included.

Immunomodulatory effects of berberine on Staphylococcus aureus-induced septic arthritis through down-regulation of Th17 and Treg signaling pathways.

Objectives: The preseaant study was aimed to investigate the immunomodulatory effects of berberine on Staphylococcus aureus-induced septic arthritis through the downstream signaling mechanism of Th17 and Treg, in the control and prevention of disease progression of Staphylococcus aureus induced septic arthritis of blood, spleen and synovial joints.

Methods: The study was conducted in mice induced with septic arthritis by S. aureus for 15 days.
