Efficacy and risk factors for anxiety and depression after mini-incision hip arthroplasty for femoral head osteonecrosis.

Background: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a prevalent orthopedic issue, leading to the collapse and fragmentation of the femoral head in its advanced stages, which can severely impair patients' quality of life. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a clinical intervention frequently used to alleviate ONFH symptoms and reinstate hip functionality. The conventional surgical technique is invasive and comes with an extended recuperation period, posing significant challenges for patients.

[Clinical study on core decompression in treating osteonecrosis of the femoral head of the necrotic bone-in different site].

Objective: To analyze the clinical effect of decompression and bone grafting on osteonecrosis of the femoral head(ONFH) at different sites of necrotic lesions.

Methods: A total of 105 patients with ARCOⅡstage ONFH admitted from January 2017 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 71 males and 34 females, with an average age of (55.

[Case-control study on robot-assisted core decompression and conventional core decompression for early necrosis of femoral head].

Objective: To compare clinical effect of robot-assisted core decompression and conventional core decompression in treating ARCO Ⅰ stage necrosis of femoral head.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 60(unilateral operation) patients who underwent core decompression for femoral head necrosis from February 2018 to February 2020. Among them, 30 patients(30 hips) were underwent robot-assisted core decompression (RCD group), including 19 males and 11 females, aged from 17 to 58 years old with an average of(38.

[Reliability of tibial anterior crest as the anatomical reference of rotating alignment for tibial component in total knee arthroplasty].

Objective: This study aimed to research whether anterior tibial crest is a reliable anatomical reference for rotational alignment of tibial component in TKA.

Methods: The study included 122 patients who underwent computed tomography angiography (CTA) examination for unilateral lower extremity trauma with normal contralateral lower extremities, including 89 males and 33 females, with an average age of(51.4±16.

c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK)/stress-activated protein kinase-associated protein 1 is a critical regulator for arthritis progression by meditating inflammation in mice model.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease. However, the pathogenesis of RA is not fully understood. Here, we reported that c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK)/stress-activated protein kinase-associated protein 1 (JSAP1, also known as JNK-interacting protein 3 (JIP3)) was significantly important for collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice.

Core decompression, lesion clearance and bone graft in combination with Tongluo Shenggu decoction for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head: A retrospective cohort study.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effect of core decompression (CD), lesion clearance, and bone graft in combination with Tongluo Shenggu decoction for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH).A total of 75 patients (92 hips), with ONFH at Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) stages II to IIIA, were studied and divided into treatment group and control group. In control group, patients were treated with the CD in combination with autologous or artificial ceramic bone graft.

The relationship of PADI4_94 polymorphisms with the morbidity of rheumatoid arthritis in Caucasian and Asian populations: a meta-analysis and system review.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease that is characterized by chronic, destructive, and debilitating arthritis. Peptidyl arginine deiminase type 4 (PADI4) polymorphisms (PADI4_94) have been reported to play a vital role in the disease. Nevertheless, the results were inconclusive.

Emodin enhances osteogenesis and inhibits adipogenesis.

Background: It has been suggested that the formation of osteoblasts in bone marrow is closely associated with adipogenesis, and the balance between osteogenesis and adipogenesis differentiation of MSCs (mesenchymal stem cells) is disrupted in osteoporosis. In order to improve the treatment of osteoporosis, available agents with roles of regulating the balance is highly desirable. Emodin is a natural anthraquinone derivative extracted from Chinese herbs, which have been used to treat bone diseases for thousands of years.

Effects of preventive administration of juanbi capsules on TNF-alpha, IL-1 and IL-6 contents of joint fluid in the rabbit with knee osteoarthritis.

Objective: To probe into the mechanism of the Chinese herbs with functions of reinforcing kidney and supplementing qi for preventing knee osteoarthritis of the rabbit.

Methods: Totally 72 healthy Japan long-ear white rabbits, aged 4 months, were randomly divided into 6 groups, blank group (A), model group (B), high dose Chinese herb group (C), middle dose Chinese herb group (D), small dose Chinese herb group (E), aminoglucose hydrochloride capsule control group (F), 12 rabbits in each group. All the rabbits in the groups, except the group A, were fixed with plaster cast for six weeks to establish rabbit knee osteoarthritis.
