Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a treatment combining percutaneous screw fixation with bone grafting for thoracolumbar fractures compared to screw fixation alone.
- Forty patients were split into two groups; the experimental group received both screw fixation and bone grafting, while the control group had only screw fixation.
- Results showed improvements in pain and structural parameters post-surgery for both groups, with no significant differences in overall outcomes after one year.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease characterized by synovial hyperplasia and progressive joint destruction. As reported previously, recombinant human endostatin (rhEndostatin) is associated with inhibition of joint bone destruction present in rat adjuvant-induced arthritis; however, the effect of rhEndostatin on bone destruction is not known. This study was designed to assess the inhibitory effect and mechanisms of rhEndostatin on formation and function of osteoclasts in vitro, and to gain insight into the mechanism underlying the inhibitory effect of bone destruction.
