The use of impaction bone grafting during revision arthroplasty of the hip in the presence of cortical defects has a high risk of post-operative fracture. Our laboratory study addressed the effect of extramedullary augmentation and length of femoral stem on the initial stability of the prosthesis and the risk of fracture. Cortical defects in plastic femora were repaired using either surgical mesh without extramedullary augmentation, mesh with a strut graft or mesh with a plate. After bone impaction, standard or long-stem Exeter prostheses were inserted, which were tested by cyclical loading while measuring defect strain and migration of the stem. Compared with standard stems without extramedullary augmentation, defect strains were 31% lower with longer stems, 43% lower with a plate and 50% lower with a strut graft. Combining extramedullary augmentation with a long stem showed little additional benefit (p = 0.67). The type of repair did not affect the initial stability. Our results support the use of impaction bone grafting and extramedullary augmentation of diaphyseal defects after mesh containment.

Hypomethylating agents (HMAs), such as decitabine and 5-azacytidine (AZA), are valuable treatment options for patients with acute myeloid leukemia that are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. Despite providing significant extensions in survival when used alone or in combination, eventual relapse and resistance to HMAs are observed. The mechanisms leading to these outcomes are still not well defined and may, in part, be due to a focus on leukemic populations with limited information on the effects of HMAs on non-leukemic cells in the blood and other tissue compartments.

Article Synopsis
- * The procedure involves a deltopectoral approach and careful handling of fractured bone parts to ensure proper alignment and fixation, utilizing tools like a humeral prosthesis and cerclage cables for support.
- * Evidence shows this method results in good healing rates, pain relief, functional recovery, and low complication rates compared to other surgical options.

The immune escape stage in cancer immunoediting is a pivotal feature, transitioning immune-controlled tumor dormancy to progression, and augmenting invasion and metastasis. Tumors employ diverse mechanisms for immune escape, with generating immunosuppressive cells from skewed hematopoiesis being a crucial mechanism. This led us to suggest that tumor cells with immune escape properties produce factors that induce dysregulations in hematopoiesis.

Emerging evidence implicates the epithelial-mesenchymal transition transcription factor Zeb1 as a critical regulator of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) differentiation. Whether Zeb1 regulates long-term maintenance of HSC function remains an open question. Using an inducible Mx-1-Cre mouse model that deletes conditional Zeb1 alleles in the adult hematopoietic system, we found that mice engineered to be deficient in Zeb1 for 32 weeks displayed expanded immunophenotypically defined adult HSCs and multipotent progenitors associated with increased abundance of lineage-biased/balanced HSC subsets and augmented cell survival characteristics.

Introduction: Hip fractures have become a major public health priority due to their increasing incidence. Intramedullary (IM) nailing has gained popularity as a surgical technique for managing these fractures. However, comparative studies with extramedullary devices indicate potentially increased mechanical complications associated with IM nailing.
