Correlation analysis of the vertebral compression degree and CT HU value in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures.

Background: To explore the correlation of the vertebral compression degree and cancellous bone CT HU in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures.

Methods: Elderly patients with single-segment vertebral fragility fractures were retrospectively reviewed. All patients experienced a low-energy trauma and underwent thoracolumbar MRI.

The Cuproptosis-Related Long Noncoding RNA Signature Predicts Prognosis and Tumour Immune Analysis in Osteosarcoma.

Background: Cuprotopsis is a type of programmed cell death discovered in recent years. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important regulatory role in programmed cell death. The effect of cuproptosis-related lncRNAs on osteosarcoma is unknown.

Factors associated with the relapse in Ponseti treated congenital clubfoot.

Objectives: We retrospectively investigated the clinical materials to seek the factors that lead to relapse after using the Ponseti method.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all children with congenital clubfoot treated with the Ponseti method in our hospital from June 2008 to June 2013. The data included the following factors: age, gender, initial Pinari score, number of casts, number of feet (unilateral or bilateral), age at the first casting, age of mother, tenotomy, walking age, and compliance with using bracing.
