Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of tension-band wiring (TBW) and the cable pin system (CPS) in treating transverse patella fractures in 73 patients from an academic trauma center.
- Results showed that the CPS group had a significantly shorter healing time and fewer complications compared to the TBW group, with all fractures healing successfully.
- The CPS also resulted in a better functional outcome as indicated by higher scores on the Hospital for Special Surgery assessment, showcasing it as a preferable treatment option.
Objective: To investigate the effects of calcitonin on the proliferation of osteoblasts and the OPG/RANKL expression therein.
Methods: Osteoblasts were separated by enzyme digestion methods from the cranial bones of 30 newborn mice, cultured, and inoculated in 96-well plate. Calcitonin of the concentrations of 10, 40, and 80 IU/L was administrated into the culture medium for 24, 48, and 72 hours.
Objective: To explore the role of exogenous carbon monoxide (CO) in apoptosis of polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) stimulated by ischemia-reperfusion (IR).
Methods: PMNs isolated from the venous blood of a healthy volunteer, incubated, put in 24-well plates, and randomly divided into 4 groups of 8 wells: control group (exposed to 5% CO2), control + CO group (exposed to 0.025% CO and 5% CO2 for I hour and then serum of healthy person was used to replace the culture fluid), IR group (exposed to 5% CO2 and then IR serum was used to replace the culture fluid), and IR + CO group (exposed to 0.

Objective: To study the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] on the expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL) mRNA in mouse osteoblasts.
Methods: Calvariae derived from CD-1 neonatal mouse (after born 24 h). Bone samples were processed by the collagenase/trypsin digestion method.
