Objective: To observe the effect of negative pressure closure drainage combined with open bone grafting or bone migration in the treatment of tibial traumatic osteomyelitis.
Methods: Eighty-six (86) cases of tibial traumatic osteomyelitis admitted to Hospital of the Chinese people's Liberation Army from September 2017 to September 2018 were randomly divided into control group and observation group, forty-three (43) cases each. Debridement, open bone grafting or bone migration was given to the control group.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified to modulate the tumorigenesis of human cancers. The in-depth of lncRNAs on human osteosarcoma oncogenesis is still ambiguous. In present study, functional and mechanism experiments were conducted to investigate the role of long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 00858 (LINC00858) on human osteosarcoma tumorigenesis.

In present study, our research team investigates the role of a novel identified lncRNA DICER1-AS1 on the tumor progression and autophagy. Results showed that lncRNA DICER1-AS1 was up-regulated in osteosarcoma cells using microarray analysis and RT-PCR.

Design: Bilateral sudden imbalance was examined (2 × 2 factorial design).
Setting: The 117th PLA Hospital, Hangzhou, China
Participants: Twenty-one male subjects with lower back pain and 21 male healthy control subjects were active members of the Nanjing Military Region land forces.
Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a major medical and social problem among working populations and is associated with high medical expense, loss of productivity, and disability. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of LBP among soldiers and evaluate the possible causative factors in military training. The results may provide an insight into changes needed in military training that will reduce the occurrence of LBP among soldiers.

Methods: From October 1998 to October 2004, a total of 281 consecutive patients underwent operations because of ankle fractures or distal fractures of the tibia and fibula. Distal tibiofibular synostosis occurred after operation in 8 patients.
