  • The study aimed to determine the ideal timing and approach for operatively addressing limb fractures in children who also suffer from severe craniocerebral trauma.
  • A total of 36 patients (ages 1-13) were examined, with outcomes from two groups: one receiving immediate surgery within 24 hours and the other receiving delayed surgery after 24 hours.
  • Results indicated that the immediate surgery group experienced shorter operation times, less blood loss, and quicker healing, highlighting the benefits of early intervention.

Objective: To study the expression of vitamin D receptor in bone of immobilized immature rat and explore the relation between disuse osteoporosis (DOP) and the expression of vitamin D receptor (VDR) in bone.

Methods: Rats aging 4 weeks were immobilized by limb-tail fixation for 2 and 4 weeks respectively, and then the wet weight, gray weight, bone mineral density of femurs and tibiae were measured, the histopathological and histomorphological parameters also were detected, which were used to evaluate the effect of immobilization on bone content and bone structure of femurs and tibiae in growing rats. The VDR expression of femurs and tibiae in the growing rats was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and image analysis.

This study was performed to observe and measure synovial folds of the occipito-atlanto-axial joints and to explore their clinical significance. Two hundred ninety eight occipito-atlanto-axial joints from 30 embalmed cadavers of children and 20 of adults were dissected to find the incidence, quantity, distribution, forms, dimension, and histology of synovial folds. Synovial folds were found in most joints in both groups except for the posterior median atlantoaxial joints.
