Design and evaluation of novel N-substituent diphenylamine derivatives as tubulin colchicine binding site inhibitors.

Novel N-substituent diphenylamine derivatives as tubulin inhibitors targeting colchicine-binding site have been designed based on structural simplification and structural fusing strategy. Most designed compounds exhibited the moderate or potent antiproliferative activities against five cancer cell lines. Among them, compound 4k displayed the significant selectivity for osteosarcoma cells MG-63 and U2OS with the IC value of 0.

Two Pathological Fractures in a Patient with Chronic Abnormalities in Serum Markers Following Two Liver Transplantations: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Bone disease is a common complication following liver transplantation, often overlooked in clinical practice. Clinical diagnosis of post-liver transplantation bone disease is challenging, and there have been few case report in the literature. This case report presents a patient who underwent two liver transplant surgeries, exhibited good daily activity, and did not display typical clinical symptoms such as fatigue, bone pain, or spinal deformities associated with prolonged sitting or standing.

Adjustable-Loop Cortical Button Fixation Results in Good Clinical Outcomes for Acute Tibial Avulsion Fracture of the Posterior Cruciate Ligament.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes for arthroscopic treatment of acute posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fractures with adjustable-loop cortical button fixation device.

Methods: Patients with PCL tibial avulsion fractures treated with an adjustable-loop cortical button fixation device between October 2019 and October 2020 were retrospectively identified. Patients with type 1 were treated using plaster fixation as a conservative treatment, whereas patients with type 2 and 3 with displacement were treated using an arthroscopic adjustable-loop cortical button.

Single-cell sequencing reveals the landscape of the tumor microenvironment in a skeletal undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma patient.

Skeletal undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (SUPS) is an invasive pleomorphic soft tissue sarcoma with a high degree of malignancy and poor prognosis. It is prone to recur and metastasize. The tumor microenvironment (TME) and the pathophysiology of SUPS are barely described.

Comparison of clinical outcomes between open and modified endoscopic release for carpal tunnel syndrome.

The aim of the present study was to investigate a novel technology, requiring only a single portal and no special equipment, to perform endoscopic treatment of carpal tunnel (CT) syndrome (CTS). This novel technique involves a surgical approach and standard operating procedures and is designed to minimize the potential for complications. Patients with CTS were randomly assigned using a computer-generated random allocation and stratified by site to either the modified endoscopic CT release (MECTR) group (n=48) or open CT release (OCTR) group (n=46).

Tissue microarray staining reveals PLD1 and Sp1 have a collaborative, pro-tumoral effect in patients with osteosarcomas.

It has been reported that phospholipase D1 (PLD1) - a key enzyme involved in lipid metabolism - is important for the initiation and progression of various human solid cancers; however, its biological significance and regulation in human osteosarcomas remain elusive. In this study, We found that PLD1 and Specificity Protein 1 (Sp1) expression were elevated in 137 osteosarcoma specimens with immunohistochemical staining. Our results showed that both PLD1 and Sp1 were expressed at much higher rates in the cancerous tissue compared to adjacent normal tissue.
