Objective: Evaluation of the clinical efficacy of f trochanteric flip osteotomy combined with Kocher-Langenbeck approach for high acetabular posterior wall fracture.
Methods: Between January 2020 and December 2022, 20 patients with high acetabular posterior wall fractures were retrospectively analyzed, including 12 males and 8 females, aged 18 to 75 years old. They were divided into two groups according to the different surgical methods.
Introduction: Previous studies have shown that abnormal sleep architectures are the important indicator for diagnosing MDD and predicting the efficacy of antidepressants. However, few studies have focused specifically on adolescents.
Objective: To explore the relationship between abnormal sleep features, including PSG parameters and scale evaluation, and the onset of adolescent MDD, as well as early SSRIs efficacy.
Background: Several studies have found that the microbiota of psoriatic lesions is different from that of healthy skin.
Objective: To characterize the microbiota of lesional and unaffected skin in patients with psoriasis and controls and investigate the correlation between cutaneous microbiota and clinical features of psoriasis.
Methods: Using quantitative polymerase chain reaction and 16S rRNA sequencing, we assayed the profiles of cutaneous microbiota in controls, unaffected skin, and psoriatic lesions.
Schwann cells play an important role in the peripheral nervous system, especially in nerve repair following injury, so artificial nerve regeneration requires an effective technique for obtaining purified Schwann cells. and pre-degeneration of peripheral nerves have been shown to obtain high-purity Schwann cells. We believed that pre-degeneration was simple and controllable, and available for the clinic.

In this study, Lf nanoparticles were firstly used as carriers of gambogic acid (GA) to enhance oral absorption and anti-cancer activity, hence reducing the related toxic effect.
Methods: Gambogic acid-lactoferrin nanoparticles (GL-NPs) were prepared by the nanoparticle albumin-bound (NAB) technology.
Schwann cells (SCs) are important in the recovery of peripheral nerve injury and are valuable cells for the tissue engineering of artificial neurons. Clinical applications that require pure SCs in large quantities are limited since human and mouse SCs do not attach well to the wall of the culture dish and have low proliferative potential. To obtain high quantities of highly pure SCs, we developed a new method for culturing SCs from the mouse sciatic nerve in vitro.

FTIR spectra showed that arginine was chemically coupled with CS. Elemental analysis estimated that the degrees of substitution (DS) of arginine in CS were 6%, 31.
