Background: Arthroscopic repair is recommended for patients with bony Bankart lesions to restore anterior shoulder stability and avoid recurrent glenohumeral instability. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients following arthroscopic bony Bankart repair using a single suture anchor fixation technique named the "door-locking" technique.
Methods: From January 2017 to February 2024, a consecutive series of 22 patients with acute bony Bankart lesions underwent shoulder arthroscopy.
Cationic surface-active agents (CSAAs) can persist in ambient water, be ingested by bees, and contaminate honey. Residues of CSAAs in honey remains unknown. This study measured the residual levels of five CSAAs in 271 honey samples from China using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple-quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry.

Patients often remain asymptomatic for an extended period, leaving them unaware of their condition, which can lead to progressing to end-stage renal disease and cause significant economic burden. Improved understanding of CKD pathogenesis can enhance early detection and facilitate advances in drug development.

Background/objective: Social media significantly influences adolescents' prosocial behavior. With smartphones becoming ubiquitous, short videos have emerged as the predominant social media format for adolescents. However, the effects of adolescents' engagement with short videos on their prosocial behavior remain uncertain.

Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) exists in various edible insects and mammalian tissues, which can cause serious allergic reactions. Herein, we constructed a magnetic nanocomposite with photo/chemical synergistic capability to mitigate the allergenicity of PLA2.

Methods: This was a retrospective clinical review of patients with congenital heart disease and PH who underwent pulmonary artery banding (PAB) at our institution between January 2013 and January 2023.
Results: We identified 219 patients (53.
Large bony Bankart injuries are typically stabilized using screws or plates or multiple anchors. Here, the "door-locking" technique, using a single-row anchor, can provide effective fixation for massive bony Bankart injuries. This technique offers several advantages over open fixation surgery or other techniques that use more than 2 suture anchors, including simpler surgical procedures, lower medical costs, and satisfactory clinical outcomes.

This is the first time the asymmetric siloxycarbene insertion into an sp C-H bond under transition-metal free conditions has been realized. The reaction features good isolated yields (up to 92%), high enantioselectivity (up to 99:1 ), mild reaction conditions, and good compatibility.

This study examined the bee pollen with the highest yield in China obtained from four plant species, namely (Bc), (Nn), (Cj), and (Fe), using fast e-nose and e-tongue technology to analyze their flavor chemistry. Results showed substantial differences in scent profiles among the varieties, with distinct odor compounds identified for each, including n-butanol, decanal, and ethanol, in Bc, Nn, and Cj, respectively.

The controller is developed by introducing a speed-dependent term, specifically front- and rear-wheel time delays, to the half-car model using the Padé approximation. Subsequently, the model is augmented with time-varying parameter dependence.

Previous single omics-studies have described potential molecular regulation mechanism of CKD only at the level of transcription or translation. Therefore, this study generated an integrated transcriptomic and proteomic profile to provide deep insights into the continuous transcription-translation process during CKD.

Methods: We examined 224 neonates who underwent cardiac surgery at a single institution from 2013 to 2022. Relevant data, such as demographic information, operative details, and postoperative records, were gathered from medical and surgical records.
Background: Osteoporosis (OP) poses a significant clinical challenge with escalating morbidity. This study explores Circ_HECW2 expression in OP patients and its regulatory role in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced osteoblast apoptosis.
Methods: Circ_HECW2 expression in OP patient serum and healthy controls was quantified using RT-qPCR.
Background: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a frequent complication following hip arthroplasty. There still has been a lack of studies analyzing the perioperative risk factors of DVT following hip arthroplasty via direct anterior approach (DAA).

This study was designed to investigate the prognosis of higher-risk paediatric patients with idiopathic or heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH/HPAH) after treprostinil therapy.
Methods: Children with IPAH/HPAH who were stratified as higher risk and treated with treprostinil in our centre were included as the study cohort.
Background: The triglyceride glucose-body mass (TyG-BMI) index is acknowledged as both a reliable indicator of the risk of cardiovascular disease and an accurate surrogate biomarker for evaluating insulin resistance (IR). The importance of the TyG-BMI index among people with heart failure (HF), however, requires more investigation. The objective of this study was to inquire about the relationship between HF patients' TyG-BMI index and their risk of 360-day mortality.
