Article Synopsis
- The balance between osteoblasts and marrow adipocytes is crucial for bone health, and aging can lead to a shift favoring adipocyte formation, resulting in osteoporosis.
- DANCR plays a significant role in regulating the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) into osteoblasts, with its overexpression hindering this process by affecting specific gene markers.
- The interaction between DANCR, miR-1301-3p, and PROX1 forms a pivotal regulatory axis that influences the osteogenic differentiation of human BM-MSCs, providing insights into potential therapeutic targets for bone health.
A cross-sectional study was conducted to understand the medication compliance of elderly osteoporosis patients and to further analyze the influencing factors of drug compliance. The elderly osteoporosis patients who were admitted to the First People's Hospital of Huzhou, Zhejiang from March 2015 to January 2017 were selected as the research subjects. Subsequently, the three months, six months and 12 months of follow-up were performed from the group of subjects who prescribe anti-osteoporosis drugs to determine the patient's medication status.

Methods: From July 2010 to June 2017, 21 patients with periprosthetic femoral fracture following TKA were divided into two groups according to operative approach. Fifteen patients in medial and lateral double approaches group, including 5 males and 10 females aged from 63 to 79 years old with an average of (67.
Background: Cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is a progressive disease. Posterior decompression surgery is reported to be an effective and comparatively safe procedure with few complications for treatment of patients with myelopathy caused by OPLL. However, some patients require revision surgery because of late neurological deterioration due to OPLL progression or kyphotic changes in cervical alignment.

Methods: The male albino Wistar strain rats were used as an experimental model, and adeno associated virus (AAV) was administered in the T12 section of spinal cord ten days prior to the injury. Basso Beattie Bresnahan (BBB) locomotor rating scale was used to determine the recovery of the hind limb during four weeks post-operation.
Objective: To explore clinical safety and efficiency of electroacupuncture combined with acupoint-injection of botulinum toxin A for the treatment of muscle spasticity by spinal cord injury.
Methods: Thirty-eight patients with muscle spasticity by spinal cord injury were treated from December 2006 to December 2009 including 26 males and 12 females, with an average age of 45.4 years old ranging from 21 to 68 years.
