Purpose: No consensus has been reached regarding the treatment of ipsilateral femoral neck fractures and femoral shaft fractures (FNF + FSF). This study discusses the stability and differences between multiple single- and dual-implant strategies in the treatment of FNF + FSF and aims to provide a theoretical reference for clinical applications.
Methods: Based on multi-sample finite element analysis, models of basicervical FNF (bFNFs Pauwels III) combined with three different FSFs (proximal (PFSF), middle (MFSF), and distal (DFSF)) were developed.
Understanding the interaction between nanomaterials and cellular structures is crucial for nanoparticle applications in biomedicine. We have identified a subtype of stress granules, called nanomaterial-provoked stress granules (NSGs), induced by gold nanorods (AuNRs). These NSGs differ from traditional SGs in their physical properties and biological functions.

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of Ga-FAP-2286 PET/CT and F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosing advanced lung cancer.
Methods: In this prospective study, patients with lung cancer who underwent Ga-FAP-2286 and F-FDG PET/CT examinations between September 2022 and June 2023 were analyzed.
Purpose: This study aimed to analyze articles on the diagnosis and treatment of bone and soft tissue sarcoma using positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) published in the last 13 years. The objective was to conduct a bibliometric analysis and identify the research hotspots and emerging trends.
Methods: Web of Science was used to search for articles on PET/CT diagnosis and treatment of bone and soft tissue sarcoma published from January 2010 to June 2023.
This study aims to measure anatomical data of the capitate bone, develop an external fixator for treating late-stage osteonecrosis of lunate through Ilizarov technique, and evaluate its biomechanical performance. We selected eight wrist joint specimens to measure various parameters of the capitate bone, including its length, the distance from the junction of capitate head and body to the proximal end, as well as the width of its proximal head and distal body. Additionally, we measured these same indicators in 107 patients who had undergone wrist X-ray examination.

The Sprague Dawley (SD) rats with acne model were given isotretinoin, ω-3 fatty acids or their combination respectively.

There are various treatment methods available; although tension-band wiring combined with cerclage wiring (TBWC) is the mainstream approach, its effectiveness is limited. Herein, we propose and evaluate a new technique called candy box (CB), based on separate vertical wiring (SVW), for the treatment of inferior pole patellar fractures.

Denosumab, as a neoadjuvant therapy, provides new possibilities for treating GCTB. However, even after multiple studies and long-term clinical trials, there are limitations in the treatment process.

Methods: An SNF finite element model (Miller-type IIB) was constructed.
Purpose: Taohong Siwu decoction (THSWD) is traditionally used to treat androgenic alopecia (AGA) in clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine. This study used a network pharmacology approach to elucidate the molecular mechanism governing the effect of THSWD on AGA.
Materials And Methods: The major active components and their corresponding targets of THSWD were screened.
Introduction: The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the effects of acellular nerve grafts (ANGs) with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) or Schwann cells (SCs) on the treatment of sciatic nerve defect in rats.
Evidence Acquisition: Electronic databases were accessed to identify eligible targets. ANGs data were extracted for meta-analysis using Review Manager 5.
