Association of Reversible Frailty With All-Cause Mortality Risk in Community-Dwelling Older Adults and Analysis of Factors Affecting Frailty Reversal in Older Adults.

Objectives: Although frailty can increase the risk of premature death, whether reversal of frailty reduces the risk of premature death and what factors contribute to the reversal of frailty have not been thoroughly investigated. This study aimed to investigate the link between frailty reversal and all-cause mortality and the factors affecting frailty reversal.

Design: A combination of the nested case-control study and the prospective cohort study.

Investigate the Therapeutic Effect of Ibandronate Sodium on Knee Osteoarthritis Based on TLRs/MyD88/NF-κB Signaling Pathway and .

Background: For decades, bisphosphonates have primarily found application in clinical practice for the treatment and prevention of bone metastases associated with malignant tumors and various bone metabolic disorders. However, third-generation bisphosphonates like ibandronate have demonstrated significant utility in addressing conditions like osteoporosis (OA) and other bone metabolism-related ailments. Ibandronate, distinguished by its high effectiveness, low toxicity, and ease of administration, has garnered attention for its potential applications in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, OA, and orthopedic concerns.

[Application of 3D printing percutaneous guide plate in closed reduction and cannulated screw internal fixation of femoral neck fracture].

Objective: To investigate the application of 3D printing percutaneous surgical guide plate in closed reduction and cannulated screw internal fixation of femoral neck fracture.

Methods: The clinical data of 12 patients with femoral neck fracture from March 2019 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into observation group and control group according to different operation plans, with 6 cases in each group.

The inhibiting effect of glucosamine sulfate combined with loxoprofen sodium on chondrocyte apoptosis in rats with knee osteoarthritis.

Objectives: To explore the efficacy of glucosamine sulfate (GS) combined with loxoprofen sodium (LS) in rats with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and its effect on chondrocytes.

Methods: We randomly assigned 40 SPF SD rats to normal group (NG), control group (CG), treatment group (TG), and model group (MG). CG and TG were processed with continuous irrigation of LS and GS.

Helicity dependent photocurrent in electrically gated (Bi Sb )Te thin films.

Circularly polarized photons are known to generate a directional helicity-dependent photocurrent in three-dimensional topological insulators at room temperature. Surprisingly, the phenomenon is readily observed at photon energies that excite electrons to states far above the spin-momentum locked Dirac cone and the underlying mechanism for the helicity-dependent photocurrent is still not understood. Here we show a comprehensive study of the helicity-dependent photocurrent in (Bi Sb )Te thin films as a function of the incidence angle of the optical excitation, its wavelength and the gate-tuned chemical potential.

Quantum anomalous Hall effect in magnetically doped InAs/GaSb quantum wells.

The quantum anomalous Hall effect has recently been observed experimentally in thin films of Cr-doped (Bi,Sb)(2)Te(3) at a low temperature (∼ 30 mK). In this work, we propose realizing the quantum anomalous Hall effect in more conventional diluted magnetic semiconductors with magnetically doped InAs/GaSb type-II quantum wells. Based on a four-band model, we find an enhancement of the Curie temperature of ferromagnetism due to band edge singularities in the inverted regime of InAs/GaSb quantum wells.

Hierarchical structure formation in layered superconducting systems with multi-scale inter-vortex interactions.

We demonstrate the formation of hierarchical structures in two-dimensional systems with multiple length scales in the inter-particle interaction. These include states such as clusters of clusters, concentric rings, clusters inside a ring, and stripes in a cluster. We propose to realize such systems in vortex matter (where a vortex is mapped onto a particle with multi-scale interactions) in layered superconducting systems with varying inter-layer thicknesses and different layer materials.
