Intramuscular, full-thickness rotator cuff tears are uncommon and present a challenging clinical scenario for repair because traditional suture anchor or transosseous repair techniques are less feasible. The goal of repair is to achieve a tension-free reduction of both ends of the muscle to allow for adequate healing over time. Intramuscular tears of the infraspinatus specifically have rarely been reported. The clinical presentation of these patients can be challenging to interpret, and other causes of rotator cuff dysfunction, including compression to the suprascapular nerve, must be ruled out. In this Technical Note, we describe our technique for arthroscopic side-to-side suture repair of an isolated intramuscular infraspinatus tear.

Flexor tendon injuries are a commonly encountered hand problem caused by trauma. They can be associated with fractures or neurovascular injury or occur in isolation. Thorough physical examination is an integral aspect of management of these injuries to identify concomitant pathology and to facilitate preoperative planning and timing of surgery to improve outcome.

The prevalence of these injuries has been steadily increasing over the past several decades, as has the need for surgical management. Surgical reconstruction has long been considered the gold standard for complete ulnar collateral ligament injuries in throwers, but repair has surfaced as a viable option for younger patients or those with isolated proximal or distal injuries with good tissue quality.

Article Synopsis
- Sciatic nerve injury (SNI) is a common form of peripheral nerve damage that triggers inflammation and hinders nerve recovery by activating macrophages into a harmful M1 state.
- Ectodermal mesenchymal stem cells (EMSCs), sourced from nasal mucosa, can potentially help recover nerve function by modulating the inflammatory environment, specifically by enhancing the presence of beneficial M2 macrophages.
- The study found that EMSCs transplantation not only improved nerve function recovery in a SNI model but also promoted an increase in M2 macrophage activity and anti-inflammatory cytokines through specific signaling pathways.

Purpose: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a disease associated with high incidence and high mortality, which is a major problem threatening women's health. Xiaoyao Sanjie Decoction (XYSJD) exhibits remarkable therapeutic efficacy on TNBC; however, the underlying mechanism is unclear. This study verified the efficacy of XYSJD and its active component in the treatment of TNBC and explored its potential mechanism.

Introduction: The role of low-pathogenic bacteria cultured from removed spinal implants is unclear and the efficacy of perioperative single-dose antibiotics against such bacteria remains underexplored.
Research Question: This study aims to investigate whether pedicle screw loosening is associated with pathogens and if the choice of perioperative antibiotics can prevent these bacteria.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 93 patients with implants removed between 01/01/2018 and 03/31/2020.
