Efficacy of supramalleolar osteotomy in the treatment of traumatic ankle joint varus deformity in adolescents.

Background: Supramalleolar osteotomy (SMOT) has emerged as a valuable treatment for ankle varus deformity; however, there are fewer reports of treatment outcomes in adolescents. The purpose of this study was to investigate the radiologic and clinical outcomes of SMOT for the treatment of traumatic ankle joint varus deformity (TAVD) in adolescents.

Methods: We reviewed 32 adolescent cases who underwent SMOT between February 2017 and February 2022 for TAVD.

Efficacy evaluation and systematic review of supramalleolar osteotomy for treatment of varus-type ankle arthritis.

Background: The current surgical treatment plan for medium-term varus-type ankle arthritis is primarily supramalleolar osteotomy (SMOT), but the reliability of this procedure still lacks high-quality evidence-based medical studies, such as randomized controlled clinical trials and meta-analyses of comparative studies.

Objective: The current study explored whether significant differences were present in the clinical effect, reoperation rate, complications, and failure rate of this type of surgery.

Method: Two researchers searched the relevant literature in seven databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, the China Biomedical Literature Database, the China Academic Journals Full-text Database, the Wanfang database, and the Weipu Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database.

Circ_0005526 contributes to interleukin-1β-induced chondrocyte injury in osteoarthritis via upregulating transcription factor 4 by interacting with miR-142-5p.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) can regulate the progression of osteoarthritis (OA) via serving as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs). This work was performed for functional research of circ_0005526 in Interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced OA injury. Circ_0005526, microRNA-142-5p (miR-142-5p) or transcription factor 4 (TCF4) expression was measured via reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay.

LncRNA LINC00313 Knockdown Inhibits Tumorigenesis and Metastasis in Human Osteosarcoma by Upregulating FOSL2 through Sponging miR-342-3p.

Purpose: Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone tumor, with high morbidity in infants and adolescents. Long noncoding RNA LINC00313 has been found to modulate papillary thyroid cancer tumorigenesis and to be dysregulate in lung cancer. However, the role of LINC00313 in OS has not yet been addressed.
