Identification of biomarkers for knee osteoarthritis through clinical data and machine learning models.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) represents a progressive degenerative disorder characterized by the gradual erosion of articular cartilage. This study aimed to develop and validate biomarker-based predictive models for KOA diagnosis using machine learning techniques. Clinical data from 2594 samples were obtained and stratified into training and validation datasets in a 7:3 ratio.

Treatment of lumbar disc herniation with robot combined with unilateral biportal endoscopic technology: A case report.

Background: This reported procedure combines the orthopedic surgical robot with the unilateral biportal endoscopy-lumbar interbody fusion (UBE-LIF), utilizing the UBE's wide viewing field and operating space to perform minimally invasive decompressive fusion of the lesioned segment, and the orthopedic surgical robot's intelligence and precision to perform percutaneous pedicle screw placement. The advancement of this procedure lies in the superposition of advantages and offsetting disadvantages of the two new technologies, and the maximum effect of treatment is achieved with maximum minimization of invasiveness and precision under the monitoring of imaging instruments to maximize the benefit of patients, and this review reports a case of multiple-segment lumbar decompression and fusion surgery for lumbar disc herniation robot-assisted UBE for reference.

Case Summary: A 44-year-old patient presented to our hospital.

[Long non-coding RNA for metabolism of bone tissue].

The mechanism of metabolism of bone and cartilage are one of focus of orthopedic knowledge, and its clinical and basic study plays an important role in preventing and treating osteoporosis, degeneration of bone and joint, bone tumor. At present, the mechanism of metabolism of bone and cartilage studied from protein, signal pathway to mRNA transcription factor regulation. As a new regulatory factor for non-coding proteins, long non-coding RNA(LncRNA) participates in physiological and pathological process.

[Research progress of gene therapy in the treatment of non-traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head].

There are many methods of conservative treatment for early non-traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head, but still lack of a mature and effective treatment. Gene therapy is a new treatment method for non-traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head in recent years. This article showed that the non-traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head related to progress and problems on pathogenesy, molecular biology foundation, exogenous theoretical gene,carrier selection and so on, discussed some problems and countermeasure and future applications.
