Article Synopsis
  • The shoulder joint is the most flexible joint in our body, allowing for a lot of different movements.
  • To study how the shoulder moves, scientists use a method called optical motion capture, which is safe and doesn't involve radiation.
  • This review explains how optical motion capture works, how to make the data better by reducing errors, and how it can help us understand shoulder problems better.

Superior labrum anterior posterior (SLAP) injury is a major challenge for orthopedic surgeons, due to the poor healing ability of the injured labrum. Although arthroscopic surgery is the gold standard for the treatment of SLAP injury, there are still disputes about the adaptation of different surgical techniques, the choice of anchors during operation, knotted or knotless anchors, and fixation methods. The authors believe that arthroscopic repair of SLAP lesions is effective for young patients with intact glenoid labrum(<35 years old) or with extensive activity, where single and knotless anchor is preferred.

Article Synopsis
  • The surgical treatment of massive rotator cuff tears poses challenges due to factors like tendon retraction and fatty infiltration, leading to ongoing research for better repair methods.
  • Shoulder arthroscopic surgery is now considered the gold standard for these tears, though the effectiveness of different surgical techniques remains debated.
  • Recommendations for treatment vary based on patient factors: elderly patients might benefit from debridement, while younger, more active patients may need complete repairs, tendon transfers, or superior capsular reconstruction for optimal outcomes.

The incidence of re-tearing after rotator cuff repair is very high. The main reason is that the tendon-osseous junction after the operation is scar healed. In response to this problem, research in recent years has focused on the application of grafts, including cell transplantation, periosteum transplantation, cartilage transplantation, and biosynthetic transplantation.

Objective: To investigate the early efficacy of arthroscopic autologous osteochondral grafting in the treatment of recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation.

Methods: From January 2019 to January 2021, 17 patients with recurrent anterior dislocation of shoulder who underwent arthroscopic autologous osteochondral grafting were selected, including 12 males and 5 females, ranging in age from 17 to 55 years old, with a mean of (32.88±12.

Article Synopsis
  • - Recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation, often accompanied by bone defects, is a common issue that requires effective surgical repair to prevent recurrence.
  • - The Bristow-Latarjet procedure is a traditional surgical option for larger glenoid defects but demands a high level of skill; alternatives include autogenous iliac grafting and osteochondral grafting, each with unique pros and cons.
  • - Advancements in composite materials and tissue engineering may provide innovative solutions for treating glenoid bone defects, addressing current limitations in bone grafting techniques.

Article Synopsis
  • Recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation is a complex issue in sports medicine, requiring careful consideration of shoulder joint constraints for effective treatment.
  • Current surgical options, particularly arthroscopic methods, show promising results, but there remains debate over the best approach based on individual cases.
  • Treatment recommendations vary based on the size and type of bony defects, with specific surgeries suggested for different conditions, while also factoring in the patient's age, activity level, and the surgeon's skills.

Shoulder arthroscopic as a conventional method usually is applied to repair rotator cuff tears. In clinical, plenty single-row, double-row and transosseous tunnels suture technique are performed, but the ideal suture technique for rotator cuff repair is not found. Compared with single-row, double-row has better strength in biomechanics property.

With the rapid development of construction industry, consumption of ready-mixed concrete has increased rapidly in China. As a kind of green building material and waste comprehensive utilization product, industrial solid waste-based ready-mixed concrete have better performance in terms of resource conservation and durability. However, some typical issues are associated with industrial solid waste resource recycling in ready-mixed concrete production process such as energy and material consumption, as well as leaching pollutant emissions.

Titanium alloy has good biological properties and is commonly used in orthopedics, but its bone integrity and antibacterial properties are poor, so surface modification is needed to make up for its shortcomings. Chitosan has good biocompatibility and film forming ability, and can be used as a carrier to introduce the target drug to the surface of titanium alloy, which can effectively improve the biological properties of titanium alloy materials and increase its application range. In this paper, the related research of chitosan surface modified titanium alloy materials in recent years is summarized.

The rate of rotator cuff injury repair and retear is high in elderly patients due to the combination of different degrees of osteoporosis. To solve this problem, many surgeons try to reduce retear rate of rotator cuff injuries in these patients by increasing the initial fixation strength of anchors and changing local bone conditions. The rapid advances of tissue engineering have made it possible to use growth factors as an aid.

1-Benzoyloxy-1,2-benziodoxol-3-(1H)-one (IBA-OBz), a readily available and bench stable benziodoxole-based iodine(III) reagent, can be employed for the synthesis of dipeptides from various standard and sterically hindered amino acids in the presence of (4-MeOCH)P. The combined system of IBA-OBz/(4-MeOCH)P is also successfully applied to the solid-phase peptide synthesis and a pentapeptide leu-enkephalin in unprotected form has been synthesized. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the rate-limiting step is nucleophilic attack of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) onto IBA-OBz.

Objective: To identify risk factors for minimally invasive surfactant administration (MISA) failure in the treatment of preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and the influence of MISA failure on neonatal outcome.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 148 preterm infants with a gestational age of ≤32 weeks and a clinical diagnosis of RDS, who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of eight tertiary hospitals in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province from July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2018 and were treated with MISA (bovine pulmonary surfactant, PS). According to whether MISA failure (defined as the need for mechanical ventilation within 72 hours after MISA) was observed, the infants were divided into two groups: MISA failure group (n=16) and MISA success (n=132).

Objective: To study the characteristics of R bone age, C bone age, and T bone age in children with different causes of short stature based on the Tanner and Whitehouse skeletal age assessment system 2 (TW2), and to provide a reference for the etiological diagnosis of short stature.

Methods: Three hundred and sixty-three children with previously untreated short stature were classified into four groups according to the causes: growth hormone deficiency (GHD; 27 cases), idiopathic short stature (ISS; 280 cases), small for gestational age (SGA; 41 cases), and Turner syndrome (TS; 15 cases). The X-ray films of their left hand-wrist bones were taken to determine the bone age.
