Introduction: The purpose of this study consisted in examining the effects of fit and fill ratio of the Metha prosthesis (BBraun, Aesculap, Tuttlingen, Germany) on radiological and clinical outcomes at a follow-up of 1 year.
Methods: 40 patients were included. Fit and fill ratio measurements, radiological and clinical examinations were performed preoperatively and postoperatively. Correlations were established between fit and fill ratio, and potential factors like sex, age, body mass index, Harris Hip Score and changes of radiological signs.
Results: The whole cohort (100%) had a tight fit and fill ratio (>0.8) at the proximal level and at each follow-up. "Champagne-flute" configuration provoked high distal tight-fit and fill ratio. Poor distal fit and fill ratio compared to the proximal and the mid-stem level was measurable at each follow-up (p < 0.05). Correlations between fit and fill ratio and preoperative femur configurations were detectable.
Conclusions: Implanting the Metha prosthesis induces tight fit and fill ratio at the proximal and coated sections. Preoperative femur configuration should be considered to achieve best fit and fill situation and therefore excellent primary stability. In most cases "normal" and "stove-pipe" configurations provide good proximal fit and fill. Since "champagne-flute" configuration induces undesirable tight distal fit and fill ratio the size of the Metha (®) stem should be adequately increased to achieve a more proximal load transmission.

Introduction Implant technology for total hip arthroplasty (THA) was developed to improve hip function and patient satisfaction. Actis (DePuy Synthes, Warsaw, IN, USA) is a short fit-and-fill titanium stem, with a medial-collared and triple-taper (MCTT) geometry, that is fully coated with hydroxyapatite (HA). We evaluated the radiographic and clinical outcomes of the Actis Total Hip System during a mean follow-up of five years.

The soils/sediments organic carbon sorption coefficient (K) of organic substances is one of the indispensable environmental behavioral parameters in chemicals management. Because the test procedure used to measure K is normally expensive and time-consuming, predictive methods are considered vitally important technology to fill the data gap of K. In this study, quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) models are developed using a data set with 1477 experimental logK values and seven typical machine learning algorithms.

Objective: Research on the link between inflammatory indicators and markers of bone metabolism is currently lacking, especially the interaction between Procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), the β-C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (β-CTX), and the fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR). This study intends to fill that knowledge gap by investigating the possible link between inflammatory indicators and bone metabolism.
Methods: This observational study included 718 individuals diagnosed with osteoporotic fractures from Kunshan Hospital Affiliated to Jiangsu University between January 2017 and July 2022.

Background: With the rapid development of society, teenagers have more access to individuals with perfect bodies and are becoming more concerned about their body image. Currently, few studies assess body image and eating disorders comprehensively in China. Given the seriousness of these issues, there is an urgent need to understand the current state of body image and eating behaviors among Chinese people and formulate preventive strategies.
