We report the outcome of humeral head surface replacement hemiarthroplasty performed at our institution using the Copeland prosthesis. We followed 56 shoulders (52 patients) for a mean of 34.2 months (range, 24-63 months). Two were lost to follow-up, and there were six deaths unrelated to the shoulder surgery. Preoperative diagnoses in the remainder were osteoarthritis (20), rheumatoid arthritis (26), rotator cuff tear arthropathy (1), and post-traumatic arthrosis (1). The mean age was 68 years. Constant scores for the whole group improved from a mean preoperative score of 16.4 (range, 8-36) to 54.0 (range, 20-83) at last follow-up (P < .05). Three cases underwent subsequent arthroscopic subacromial decompression for impingement symptoms. One case required revision for aseptic loosening to a stemmed implant. Contained, nonprogressive osteolysis was seen in 2 cases. One periprosthetic humeral neck fracture was managed successfully nonoperatively. These results are comparable to those obtained with a modern stemmed hemiarthroplasty and are similar to Copeland's own series.

Background: Pickering emulsions prepared with octenyl succinic anhydride-modified starch (OSAS) show significant promise as replacements for animal fat. However, the underlying mechanism of incorporating an OSAS-based Pickering emulsion into a myofibrillar protein (MP) gel and its impact on the gel properties remain poorly understood. In this study, the effects of OSAS at varying concentrations (0-10.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant changes in our daily lives, including the widespread use of face masks. Face masks have been reported to reduce the transmission of viral infections by droplets; however, improper use and/or treatment of these masks can cause them to be contaminated, thereby reducing their efficacy. Moreover, regular replacement of face masks is essential to maintaining their effectiveness, which can be challenging in resource-limited healthcare settings.

Accurate and sensitive fluorescence imaging of biothiols is essential for understanding the mechanism underlying some physiological and pathological events, as well as the prevention and diagnosis of diseases. However, low signal transduction efficiency and poor biocompatibility of fluorescence tags associated with current sensors hinder their potential utilizations. Herein, a smart biothiols sensitive vivo imaging platform on the basis of amplifying nanoprobe has been designed.

Bone defects are a prevalent category of skeletal tissue disorders in clinical practice, with a range of pathogenic factors and frequently suboptimal clinical treatment effects. In bone regeneration of bone defects, the bone regeneration microenvironment-composed of physiological, chemical, and physical components-is the core element that dynamically coordinates to promote bone regeneration. In recent years, medical biomaterials with bioactivity and functional tunability have been widely researched upon and applied in the fields of tissue replacement/regeneration, and remodelling of organ structure and function.
