Icariin has shown the potential to treat osteoarthritis (OA), but the specific mechanism still needs further exploration. Therefore, this study attempted to reveal the effect and mechanism of icariin on OA based on in vitro and in vivo experiments. In vivo, a mouse model of OA was established by cutting the anterior cruciate ligament, and 10 mg/kg icariin was given to mice orally.

- This study compared postoperative complications and anal function in children with anal atresia who underwent either 3-stage laparoscopic-assisted anorectoplasty (LAARP) or traditional posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP).
- The research found that the LAARP group had significantly fewer postoperative complications, such as wound infection and anal stenosis, compared to the PSARP group, while the overall anal function, measured by Kelly score, was better in the LAARP group.
- Overall, LAARP was shown to be a more effective surgical option with fewer complications and improved outcomes for children suffering from moderate to severe anal atresia.
Background: The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between IL-18 gene polymorphisms and HBV-related diseases and whether these polymorphisms influence its expression in the Guangxi Zhuang population.
Materials And Methods: We enrolled 129 chronic HBV infected (CHB) patients, 86 HBV-related liver cirrhosis (LC) patients and 160 healthy controls in our study. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism methods were used to detect IL-18 gene -607C/A, -137G/C polymorphisms, and an ELISA kit was employed to determine serum IL-18 levels.
Purpose: An association between the INS VNTR polymorphisms and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) susceptibility has been reported in previous studies, but the results were inconsistent. This study was conducted to explore this association using meta-analysis.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were searched according to predefined criteria for all relevant studies published up to August 2013.
