The Müller type cemented hip prosthesis, also called self-locking prosthesis, is one of the most extensively copied and utilized hip prostheses. Considering the implantation of the cemented stem, the author originally suggested achieving a press fit between the stem and endostal cortex by implanting a prosthesis of the largest possible size. Analyzing our group of patients who undergo aseptic stem revision, we try to quantify the term "press fit" by measuring the filling of the femoral canal by the metal stem, the so-called canal-fill ratio. Our preliminary results suggest that press-fit is achieved when the stem occupies more than 90% of the canal diameter in the anterior-posterior projection.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a class of protocells that can differentiate into various cell types and have robust replication and renewal capabilities. MSCs secrete various nutritional factors to regulate the microenvironment of tumor tissues. The mechanism by which they inhibit or promote tumor growth may be closely related to MSC-derived exosomes (MSC-Exo).

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is one of the most important methods for treating a wide range of hematologic malignancies and bone marrow failure diseases. However, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a major complication associated with this method, can seriously affect the survival and quality of life of patients. Acute GVHD (aGVHD) occurs within 100 days after transplantation, and gastrointestinal aGVHD (GI-aGVHD) is one of the leading causes of nonrecurrent death after allo-HSCT.

Purpose: Mammary carcinoma is comprised heterogeneous groups of cells with different metastatic potential. 4T1 mammary carcinoma cells metastasized to heart (4THM), liver (4TLM) and brain (4TBM) and demonstrate cancer-stem cell phenotype. Using these cancer cells we found thatTGF-β is the top upstream regulator of metastatic process.

Sialic acids derived from colonic mucin glycans are crucial nutrients for enteric bacterial pathogens like . The uptake and utilization of sialic acid in depend on coordinated regulons, each activated by specific metabolites at the transcriptional level. However, the mechanisms enabling crosstalk among these regulatory circuits to synchronize gene expression remain poorly understood.
