Article Synopsis
  • A rare case of fungal spondylodiscitis following H7N9 virus infection was reported, initially misdiagnosed as a vertebral tumor before being identified as fungal.
  • Data from 77 cases of Candida and 94 cases of Aspergillus spondylodiscitis were analyzed, revealing that Candida infections generally have better outcomes (92.3% cure rate) compared to Aspergillus (70.2% cure rate).
  • The study indicated that Candida is more commonly found in blood cultures and often treated with radical debridement, suggesting that early diagnosis and appropriate treatment significantly improve patient recovery.

Objective: To investigate clinical significance of microRNA-130b (miR-130b) in osteosarcoma and its role in cell growth and invasion.

Methods: miR-130b expression was detected in 68 samples of surgically resected osteosarcoma and matched normal tumor-adjacent tissues by qRT-PCR. The expression of miR-130b was altered by corresponding vectors in osteosarcoma cells, and then Western blot was used to detect the expression of PPARγ.

Objective: To assess clinical result of soft tissue balancing in primary total hip arthroplasty for severe developmental dysplasia of the hip in adults.

Methods: From December 2000 to August 2006, 26 primary cementless total hip arthroplasties combined with soft tissue balancing were performed in 21 cases for the treatment of severe developmental dysplasia of the hip. Patients were classified as type III (20 hips) and type IV (6 hips) according to Crowe classification.
