Purpose: To evaluate the short-term clinical efficacy of hip arthroscopy combined with catheter irrigation and drainage in the treatment of brucellosis of the hip.
Methods: From 2015 to 2020, 11 patients with a diagnosis of brucellosis-induced unilateral hip joint arthritis were treated with arthroscopic debridement and lesion synovectomy. Catheterization was performed during the operation, and normal saline lavage was continued after the operation.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical results of modified peroneal sulcus deepening combined with superior peroneal retinaculum repair in peroneal tendon subluxation treatment.
Methods: From 2016 to 2020, 18 patients with peroneal tendon subluxation were diagnosed and treated; all patients underwent modified peroneal sulcus deepening combined with superior peroneal retinaculum repair. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot (AOFAS-AH) score, and subjective patient satisfaction were evaluated before surgery and during follow-up.
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) act as epigenetic regulators in the process of ferroptosis and iron metabolism. This study aimed to identify an iron metabolism-related lncRNA signature to predict osteosarcoma (OS) survival and the immune landscape. RNA-sequencing data and clinical information were obtained from the TARGET dataset.

Methods: From June 2009 to March 2014, there were 17 patients with acute patellar dislocation, 6 males and 11 females with average age of (16.2±6.
Objective: To observe influence of JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway mediating curcumin in cartilage cell metabolism of osteoarthritis and mitochondria oxidative stress resistance;also explore the role of JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway and effect of curcumin in this process.
Methods: Fifteen male SPF C57BL/6 rats rweighted from 10.05 to 15.
Objective: To compare therapeutic effects between arthroscopic medial retinaculum plication and plaster external fixation for the treatment of acute patellar dislocation.
Methods: From February 2006 to October 2012,29 patients with acute patellar dislocation were divided into two groups: operation group and non-operation group. The patellar dislocation duration was 2 weeks.
Objective: To investigate the correct method of bone resection and posterior capsular soft tissue releasing in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for the patients with rheumatoid arthritis with stiff knee in flexion.
Methods: From November 2009 to January 2012,15 patients with rheumatoid arthritis with stiff knee in flexion underwent primary TKA and releasing of the posterior soft tissues. There were 7 males and 8 females,aged 22 to 75 years old (58.
Pretreatment of nerve allografts by exposure to irradiation or green tea polyphenols can eliminate neuroimmunogenicity, inhibit early immunological rejection, encourage nerve regeneration and functional recovery, improve tissue preservation, and minimize postoperative infection. In the present study, we investigate which intervention achieves better results. We produced a 1.
