Comparison of Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes in Intensive Care Units Between Patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and Patients with Influenza: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Severe infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or influenza virus can cause patients to be admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). It is necessary to understand the differences in clinical characteristics and outcomes between these two types of critically ill patients.

Methods: We searched Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science for articles and performed a meta-analysis using Stata 14.

Effects of pulmonary air leak on patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has posed increasing challenges to global health systems. We aimed to understand the effects of pulmonary air leak (PAL), including pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema, on patients with COVID-19.

Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase and Web of Science for data and performed a meta-analysis with a random-effects model using Stata 14.

Modified Stabilization Test to Diagnose Chronic Syndesmotic Injuries Based on Posture Control.

Background: To propose and validate a modified noninvasive method for the diagnosis of chronic syndesmotic injuries.

Methods: This study included 16 patients with chronic ankle instability. Herein, we propose the Modified Stabilization Test, a new measurement for use in the diagnosis of chronic syndesmotic injury, as determined by wearing a 60-kPa pneumatic brace.

Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging measurement of muscle atrophy and fatty degeneration after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Background: It is unclear whether muscle atrophy (MA) and fatty degeneration (FD) have improved after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). Therefore, the objective of this study was to perform quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurement to evaluate MA and FD before and after surgery. Correlations of clinical outcome with changes in MA and FD were also analyzed.

Total Talar Replacement With Custom-Made Vitallium Prosthesis for Talar Avascular Necrosis.

The current study investigated the application of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology in the treatment of talar avascular necrosis (TAN). Custom-made Vitallium talar prostheses were designed and generated 3D printing. We hypothesized that these talar prostheses would facilitate more stable positioning, better ergonomically fit the ankle joint surfaces, and promote favorable long-term prognoses.

Analysis of the lncRNA-Associated Competing Endogenous RNA (ceRNA) Network for Tendinopathy.

Background: We aimed to construct the lncRNA-associated competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network and distinguish feature lncRNAs associated with tendinopathy.

Methods: We downloaded the gene profile of GSE26051 from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), including 23 normal samples and 23 diseased tendons. Differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) were identified, and functional and pathway enrichment analyses were performed.

Morphological study of safe fixation region of temporomandibular joint prosthesis in Chinese northeast population with 3-dimensional computed tomographic image.

This study aimed to measure temporomandibular joint (TMJ) with 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction technique in Chinese northeast population, and to clarify the region for fixation and to provide morphological basis for the application of TMJ prosthesis in Chinese setting.Computed tomography (CT) scan and 3D reconstruction were performed with 132 individuals. Structural markers and measurements were further performed with a 3D model of the total TMJ, including the width, thickness and angle of zygomatic arch, the width and height of articular fossa, as well as the area, width, thickness and angle of mandible in the fixation region of the TMJ prosthesis.

Ankle distraction arthroplasty for the treatment of severe ankle arthritis: Case report, technical note, and literature review.

Rationale: Widely applied in the treatment of severe ankle arthritis (AA), ankle distraction arthroplasty (ADA) can avoid not only the ankle range of motion loss but also ankle fusion. However, the clinical outcomes of ADA for severe AA are poorly understood. This study aims to present our clinical outcomes of severe AA treated by ADA.

Comparison of suture-button and screw fixation in the treatment of ankle syndesmotic injuries: Cohort study protocol.

Background: Syndesmotic injuries account for a significant number of ankle injuries. There is no consensus regarding the recommended method of treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate: METHODS:: This study was performed and reported in accordance with the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational studies in Epidemiology checklist.

Long non-coding RNA Mirt2 prevents TNF-α-triggered inflammation via the repression of microRNA-101.

Parkinson's disease is normally accompanied by excessive inflammation. Myocardial infraction associated transcript 2 (Mirt2) has an activity to relieve inflammation in numerous cell types. Here, we aimed to investigate whether Mirt2 could elevate the resistance of SH-Sy5y cells to inflammation.

Leukocyte-Poor Platelet-Rich Plasma-Derived Growth Factors Enhance Human Fibroblast Proliferation .

Background: Leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma (LP-PRP) from peripheral blood is currently used as a concentrated source of growth factors to stimulate repair at sites of soft tissue injury. Fibroblasts are primary mediators of wound healing. Thus, we aimed to assess the positive effect of LP-PRP on human fibroblast proliferation .

Can a Single Sagittal Magnetic Resonance Imaging Slice Represent Whole Fatty Infiltration in Chronic Rotator Cuff Tears at the Supraspinatus?

Background: This study aimed to investigate whether fatty infiltration (FI) measured on a single sagittal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) slice can represent FI of the whole supraspinatus muscle.

Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed the MRIs of 106 patients (age 50-79 years) divided into three rotator cuff tear-size groups: medium, large, and massive. Fat mass and muscle mass on all T1-weighted sagittal MRI scans (FA and MA) were measured.

Morphologic evaluation of Chinese cervical endplate and uncinate process by three-dimensional computed tomography reconstructions for helping design cervical disc prosthesis.

Background: Cervical disc prostheses have been used increasingly in recent years. The successful design of cervical disc prostheses depends on accurate morphometric parameters. However, the morphologic dimensions of the cervical endplate area have not been investigated in the Chinese population.
