Article Synopsis
  • - The study evaluates how common steatotic liver disease (SLD) is among US adolescents, focusing on identifying metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its link to clinically significant fibrosis (CSF).
  • - Out of 1,446 adolescents, 20.1% had SLD, with the majority (17.9%) diagnosed with MASLD, while only 4% had CSF.
  • - Although a high percentage of SLD patients met the MASLD criteria, there was no significant difference in the risk of CSF between those with and without MASLD.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness of a method combining arthrography with closed reduction and elastic nail fixation for treating radial neck fractures in children.
  • 23 children aged 2 to 12 were analyzed using this technique, comparing results to a control group of 23 children treated without arthrography.
  • Results showed significant improvements in both operative time and fracture reduction outcomes for the arthrography group, suggesting it may be a more efficient and effective treatment option.
  • The findings are based on follow-ups ranging from 12 to 24 months, highlighting the potential benefits of this approach in pediatric orthopedic care.

Oxaliplatin (OXA) has shown high effectiveness in the treatment of cancers, but its anticancer clinical effects often induce neurotoxicity leading to neuropathic pain. Oxidative damage and NLRP3 inflammasome play important roles in neuropathic pain development. Here, neuropathic pain mouse model was constructed by continuous intraperitoneal injection of OXA.

Glycogen storage disease type V is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by muscle glycogen phosphorylase (PYGM) deficiency, which is characterized by exercise intolerance, second wind phenomena and high level of serum creatine kinase. In this study, we reported a Chinese young man with glycogen storage disease type V, with lower extremity weakness after exercise, increased creatine kinase, and slight fat infiltration in the posterior group of thigh muscle by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The proband had complex heterozygous PYGM disease-causing mutations, including c.

Objective: To explore clinical effects of micro external fixator for the treatment of supracondylar fracture of humerus in children.

Methods: From October 2017 to December 2018, 20 children with supracondylar fracture of humerus (treatment group) were admitted and treated with micro-external fixation after closed reduction, including 14 males and 6 females, aged from 6 to 14 years old with an average of (7.9±2.

Bone marrow lymphoma with the onset of an isolated mass in the bone marrow is extremely rare. The present case report described a unique case of B cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) presenting with an isolated mass in the bone marrow cavity, without any organopathy or lymphadenopathy. An isolated mass in bone marrow is a rare primary manifestation of LBL.

Precise regulation of DNA replication and genome integrity is crucial for gametogenesis and early embryogenesis. Cullin ring-finger ubiquitin ligase 4 (CRL4) has multiple functions in the maintenance of germ cell survival, oocyte meiotic maturation, and maternal-zygotic transition in mammals. DDB1-cullin-4-associated factor-2 (DCAF2, also known as DTL or CDT2) is an evolutionarily conserved substrate receptor of CRL4.

Objective: To explore clinical effect of manipulative reduction and percutaneous K-wires fixation in treating supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children.

Methods: From July 2010 to December 2012, clinical data of 52 children with supracondylar fractures of the humerus, which treated with manipulative reduction and percutaneous K-wires fixation, were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, there were 35 males and 17 females with an average age of 6.

Objective: To analyze the clinical effect and related risk factors of Gartland type II-III supracondylar fractures of humerus in children in the emergency closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation.

Methods: From January 2008 to June 2013,112 children of Gartland type II to III supracondylar humeral fractures were treated in children in emergency closed reduction and percutaneous K-wire fixation, including 72 males and 40 females with an average age of 6.2 years old ranging from 2 to 11 years old.

In mammals, oocytes within the primordial follicles require a number of essential factors to maintain their survival. However, the survival factors for activated oocytes have been poorly characterized. Recently we reported that damaged DNA binding protein-1 (DDB1), the linker subunit of the cullin ring-finger ubiquitin E3 ligase-4 (CRL4) complex, and its substrate adaptor, DDB1-CUL4 associated factor-1 (DCAF1), were essential for primordial follicle maintenance.
