Serum Levels of VWF, t-PA, TNF-, and ICAM-1 in Patients Receiving Hemocoagulase Combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma during Total Hip Replacement.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of hemocoagulase combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in total hip replacement (THR) on reducing bleeding and improving knee joint function in the patients with osteoarthritis.

Methods: From February 2018 to February 2020, 80 osteoarthritis patients undergoing THR were included in the study, of which 40 cases were treated with PRP and hemocoagulase (test group) in the joint capsule in THR and the other 40 cases received saline and thrombin in the joint capsule after THR (control group). Postoperative drainage and corresponding functional exercise were performed for the two groups 12 hours after operation.

Quantitative evaluation of bone marrow fat content and unsaturated fatty index in young male soccer players using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-MRS): a preliminary study.

Background: Marrow fat exists as a distinct adipose tissue and plays a critical role in affecting both the quantity and quality of bone. However, the effect of soccer training on marrow fat has been rarely reported. This study aims to evaluate and characterize the marrow fat content and composition in different bone areas of soccer players and age-matched healthy subjects using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-MRS).

Real-world clinical outcomes of olaparib therapy in Chinese patients with advanced serous ovarian cancer treated in Macau.

Background: Olaparib has been approved as an active and maintenance therapy for patients with platinum-sensitive, BRCA-mutated high-grade serous ovarian cancer (SOC). However, the efficacy and safety data is lack among Chinese ovarian cancer patients.

Aim: This real-world study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety profile of olaparib in patients from mainland China, where olaparib is currently unavailable.

Associations Between Pain Patterns and Self-Reported Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis.

Objectives: To study pain locations and patterns in knee osteoarthritis (OA) and determine associations between knee pain patterns and pain characteristics, functional status, and psychological status.

Design: A cross-sectional study.

Setting And Subjects: A convenience sample of 203 patients with knee OA was recruited from two university-affiliated hospitals from July 2016 to July 2017.

Facile solution-phase synthesis of gamma-Mn3O4 hierarchical structures.

Background: A lot of effort has been focused on the integration of nanorods/nanowire as building blocks into three-dimensional (3D) complex superstructures. But, the development of simple and effective methods for creating novel assemblies of self-supported patterns of hierarchical architectures to designed materials using a suitable chemical method is important to technology and remains an attractive, but elusive goal.

Results: The hierarchical structure of Mn3O4 with radiated spherulitic nanorods was prepared via a simple solution-based coordinated route in the presence of macrocycle polyamine, hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-diene (CT) with the assistance of thiourea as an additive.

[Overlapping tissue expansion techniques and its clinical applications].

Objective: To improve the results of the soft tissue expansion technique.

Methods: Two expanders were buried in the same soft tissue pocket in an overlapping pattern. The inflation process was carried out routinely.
