Human steroid sulfatase (STS) is an enzyme that hydrolyzes several sulfated steroids, such as estrone sulfate, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and cholesterol sulfate, and results in the production of active substances. STS has been demonstrated in human breast cancer tissues and is considered to be involved in intratumoral estrogen production. It is very important to analyze the cellular distribution of STS with accuracy in human tissues in order to obtain a better understanding of the biological significance of STS. Therefore, this chapter describes several morphological approaches used to study the localization of STS, including immunohistochemistry, mRNA in situ hybridization, and laser capture microdissection/reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, in human tissues.

Modern techniques of rib fracture fixation surgery follow the AO principles of fracture reduction, fixation, and appropriate soft tissue handling. Fixation techniques can be performed using anatomic reduction and rigid fixation, or bridge plate fixation for comminuted fractures. Anatomic and nonanatomic plates can be used, although titanium precontoured locking plates are the most commonly used.

Walking patterns can differ between children and adults, both kinematically and kinetically. However, the detailed nature of the ankle pattern has not been clarified. We investigated musculature, biomechanics, and muscle activation strategies and their relevance to walking performance in preschool (PS) and school children (SC), with adults (AD) as reference.
