Motor-sparing selective epidural analgesia has long been practised in the field of labour analgesia. However, the utility of such techniques in other fields remain limited. We present the successful use of a similar technique of differential blockade in a case of quadriceps plasty with realignment of patella for recurrent dislocation of patella. A very low concentration of bupivacaine and fentanyl was used through continous epidural. The adequacy of repair was assessed intraoperatively by active movement of operated limb by patient himself.

Novel treatment strategy targeting interleukin-6 induced by cancer associated fibroblasts for peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer.
Sci Rep

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a crucial component in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of peritoneal metastasis (PM), where they contribute to tumor progression and metastasis via secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6). Here, we investigated the role of IL-6 in PM of gastric cancer (GC) and assessed whether anti-IL-6 receptor antibody (anti-IL-6R Ab) could inhibit PM of GC. We conducted immunohistochemical analysis of IL-6 and α-smooth muscle (α-SMA) expressions in clinical samples of GC and PM, and investigated the interactions between CAFs and GC cells in vitro.

Liver transplantation (LT) has an incidence of intraoperative cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) of around 5%. Patients who experience CPA during this procedure have a reduced survival rate of approximately 50%. Most CPAs occur during the neohepatic phase due to reperfusion syndrome, but this is not always the underlying cause, and a broad differential diagnosis must be performed.

In situ bone regeneration and vertical bone augmentation have been huge problems in clinical practice, always imposing a significant economic burden and causing patient suffering. Herein, MgZnYNd magnesium alloy rod implantation in mouse femur resulted in substantial subperiosteal new bone formation, with osteoimmunomodulation playing a pivotal role. Abundant macrophages were attracted to the subperiosteal new bone region and proved to be the most important regulation cells for bone regeneration.

Background: Tandem C2 domains, nuclear (TC2N) is a protein that has been characterized to contain C2A domain, C2B domain, and a short C-terminus with a WHXL motif. In previous studies, we have uncovered the oncogenic role and mechanisms of TC2N in lung cancer: TC2N achieves this by inhibiting the p53 signaling pathway and activating the NF-kappaB signaling pathway. Beyond that, its precise function in tumorigenesis is not fully understood.

Background: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) has recently garnered increased attention due to immune infiltration. However, the role of membrane-associated protein 17 (MAP17) in NASH remains unclear, which prompted this study to explore its relationship with immune infiltration and its regulatory mechanisms.
Methods: We employed weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) to construct a gene co-expression network aimed at identifying key genes associated with NASH progression.
