Objective: To summarize the perioperative blood management strategies for joint arthroplasty.

Methods: The literature concerning preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative blood management was reviewed and summarized.

Results: At present, a variety of blood management and conservation strategies are available. Preoperative strategies include iron supplementation, erythropoietin (EPO), and preoperative autologous donation (PAD). Intraoperative options include acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH), antifibrinolytics, and the use of a tourniquet. Postoperative strategies include the use of reinfusion systems and guided transfusion protocols. Preoperatively, administration of either simple EPO or a combination of EPO and PAD can be efficacious in anemic patients. Intraoperatively, tourniquet use and tranexamic acid can effectively control bleeding. Postoperatively, appropriate transfusion indications can avoid unnecessary blood transfusions.

Conclusion: Perioperative blood management strategies for joint arthroplasty should be integrated for the individual patient using a variety of ways to reduce perioperative blood loss and blood transfusion, and promote the rehabilitation of patients.

Obesity can change the immune microenvironment of adipose tissue and induce inflammation. This study is dedicated to exploring the internal mechanism by which different intensities of exercise reprogram the immune microenvironment of epididymal adipose tissue in nutritionally obese mice. C57BL/6J male obese mouse models were constructed by high-fat diet, which were respectively obese control group (OC), moderate intensity continuous exercise group (HF-M), high intensity continuous exercise group (HF-H) and high intensity intermittent exercise group (HF-T).

mTOR Signaling Regulates Multiple Metabolic Pathways in Human Lung Fibroblasts After TGF-β and in Pulmonary Fibrosis.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a fatal disease characterized by the TGF-β-dependent activation of lung fibroblasts, leading to excessive deposition of collagen proteins and progressive replacement of healthy lung with scar tissue. We and others have shown that TGF-β-mediated activation of the Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 (mTORC1) and downstream upregulation of Activating Transcription Factor 4 (ATF4) promote metabolic reprogramming in lung fibroblasts characterized by upregulation of the de synthesis of glycine, the most abundant amino acid found in collagen protein. Whether mTOR and ATF4 regulate other metabolic pathways in lung fibroblasts has not been explored.

Background: Noncompressible truncal hemorrhage is a major contributor to preventable deaths in trauma patients and, despite advances in emergency care, still poses a big challenge.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of trauma resuscitation care incorporating Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) compared to standard care for managing uncontrolled torso or lower body hemorrhage.

Methods: This study utilized a target trial design with a matched case-control methodology, emulating randomized 1 : 1 allocation for patients receiving trauma resuscitation care with or without the use of REBOA.

Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears (PTRCTs) are a common source of shoulder pathology, both in the aging population and in younger overhead athletes. Advanced imaging modalities used currently have led to increases in recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of these tears. The anatomy, five-layer histology, and relationship to the Ellman classification of PTRCTs have been well studied, with recent interest in radiographic predictors, such as the critical shoulder angle and acromial index.
