Objective: To investigate the role of petroleum ether extract of Rhizoma Amorphophalli (SLG) in inhibiting proliferation and promoting apoptosis and differentiation of leukemia K562 cells.
Methods: K562 cells were processed by SLG and PD98059 which was the ERK signaling pathway blocker. Then cell vitality was tested by MTT.
Objective: To study the feasibility and clinical efficacy of a minimally invasive sinus tarsi approach in the treatment of Sanders II calcaneus fractures.
Methods: From August of 2015 to July of 2016, 13 patients(totally 13 feet) with Sanders II intra-articular calcaneus fractures were treated via the minimally invasive sinus tarsi approach. The Böhler angle, Gissane angle and the length, width and height of calcaneus were compared between pre-operation and post-operation.
Purpose: Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) is one of the several MMPs that is associated with malignant tumors of breast, colon, cervix and lung, where its expression has been correlated with tumor invasion and metastasis. However, the role of MMP-3 in metastasis of osteosarcoma has not yet been explored.
Methods: MMP-3 expression in 15 primary and metastatic osteosarcomas with case-matched adjacent non-tumor tissue was assessed by immunohistochemistry and quantitative RT-PCR.

Article Synopsis
- The Vancouver Classification System (VCS) for periprosthetic femoral fractures is widely accepted, but the Unified Classification System (UCS) has improved upon it to include treatment principles for all such fractures.
- The authors introduce a new fracture pattern that specifically addresses cases where a femoral fracture occurs along with a stem fracture after hip arthroplasty, which were not classified in either VCS or UCS.
- This new classification is designed to help guide treatment strategies based on the stability of the proximal part of the fractured femoral prosthesis, adding to the existing classifications.
Objective: Bone metastasis was common in patients with malignant tumors. The purpose of this study was to investigate the serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (B-ALP) as a biomarker in the diagnosis of osseous metastases in patients with cancers.
Methods: We searched the databases of Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Medline, CNKI and Wanfang to screen the relevant articles about the serum B-ALP detection in the diagnosis of osseous metastases in patients with malignant carcinomas.
Objective: To investigate the expression and significance of MMP-3 in synovium of knee joint at different stage in osteoarthritis (OA) patients.
Methods: Knee synovial tissue were collected in 90 OA patients (the OA group). Patients in the OA group was divided into 3 subgroups: grade I subgroup (n=30), grade II subgroup (n=30), grade III; subgroup (n=30).
