Hu'po Anshen decoction (HPASD), a traditional Chinese medicine used to treat concussion and fracture, could regulate the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2). However, whether HPASD affects the fracture healing of traumatic brain injury (TBI) combined with a fracture through BMP2 and its downstream signals remains obscure. The chondrocyte-specific BMP2 conditional knockout mice and chondrocyte-specific cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) overexpression mice were generated.

Firstly, the expression of TYROBP was analyzed using the t test. The Kaplan-Meier plotter analysis and a receiver operating characteristic curve were performed to evaluate the influence of TYROBP on overall survival (OS).

Membrane proteins are crucial for biological processes, and many of them are important to drug targets. Understanding the three-dimensional structures of membrane proteins are essential to evaluate their bio-function and drug design. High-purity membrane proteins are important for structural determination.

Methods: According to the University of Pennsyvania system of classification and staging,to treat the patients with 3-tunnels core decompression with implantation of bone marrow stromal cells (bMSCs) and decalcified bone matrix (DBM) for treatment of early femoral head necrosis. Among the total 87 patients (103 hips), the male was 71 (86 hips) and the female 16 (17 hips) with the average age of 47 years old.
