[Short-term effectiveness of robot-guided femoral neck system combined with cannulated compression screw fixation in treatment of femoral neck fracture in young and middle-aged patients].

Objective: To investigate short-term effectiveness of robot-guided femoral neck system (FNS) combined with cannulated compression screw (CCS) fixation in treatment of femoral neck fracture in young and middle-aged patients.

Methods: A clinical data of 49 young and middle-aged patients with femoral neck fractures, who met the selection criteria and admitted between January 2021 and June 2023, was retrospectively analyzed. After reduction of femoral neck fractures, 27 cases were treated with robot-guided FNS fixation (FNS group) and 22 cases with robot-guided FNS and CCS fixation (FNS+CCS group).

[Early effectiveness of Ti-Robot assisted femoral neck system for minimally invasive treatment of elderly Garden type Ⅱ and Ⅲ femoral neck fractures].

Objective: To investigate the early effectiveness of the Ti-Robot assisted femoral neck system (FNS) in the treatment of elderly Garden type Ⅱ and Ⅲ femoral neck fractures.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 41 elderly patients with Garden type Ⅱ and Ⅲ femoral neck fractures who were admitted between December 2019 and August 2022 and met the selection criteria. Among them, 21 cases were treated with Ti-Robot assisted FNS internal fixation (study group), and 20 cases were treated solely with FNS internal fixation (control group).

A comparison of functional and radiological outcome of combine compression antegrade intertrochanteric nail (InterTan) and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation II (PFNA-II) in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures.

Objective: To compare the functional and radiological outcome of combine compression interlocking intramedullary nail (InterTan) and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation II (PFNA-II) in the treatment of elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures.

Methods: As a retrospective cohort study, records of 88 patients with intertrochanteric fractures treated in our hospital from January 1, 2019 to July 31, 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. According to treatment records, it included 45 patients treated with InterTan (Group-A) and 43 patients treated with PFNA-II (Group-B).

Graded-Three-Dimensional Cell-Encapsulating Hydrogel as a Potential Biologic Scaffold for Disc Tissue Engineering.

Background: Intervertebral disk (IVD) degeneration, which can cause lower back pain, is a major predisposing factor for disability and can be managed through multiple approaches. However, there is no satisfactory strategy currently available to reconstruct and recover the natural properties of IVDs after degeneration. As tissue engineering develops, scaffolds with embedded cell cultures have proved critical for the successful regeneration of IVDs.

Neobavaisoflavone protects osteoblasts from dexamethasone-induced oxidative stress by upregulating the CRNDE-mediated Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Neobavaisoflavone (NBIF) is a flavonoid, which has a variety of pharmacological activities. However, the mechanism of NBIF in the treatment of osteoporosis still needs further exploration. The differentiation of osteoblast MC-3T3-E1 cells after treatment was observed by Alizarin red staining.

Development of a novel customized cutting and rotating template for Bernese periacetabular osteotomy.

Background: Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) has been shown to be applicable as a hip-preserving technique for the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The approach could be designed preoperatively using various types of reverse-engineering software and finite element analysis, but how to implement it in the actual PAO remains a challenge. This study examines and evaluates a solution to achieve higher accuracy when performing a PAO.

Downregulation of microRNA-23b protects against ischemia-reperfusion injury via p53 signaling pathway by upregulating MDM4 in rats.

Total knee arthroplasty is a commonly performed safe procedure and typically executed in severe knee arthritis, but it also triggers ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). More recently, microRNAs (miRs) have been reported to play a contributory role in IRI through the key signaling pathway. Hence, the current study aimed to investigate the effect and specific mechanism of microRNA-23b (miR-23b), murine double minute 4 (MDM4), and the p53 signaling pathway in IRI rat models.
