Purpose: This study evaluated the expression pattern of micro RNAs (miRNAs) on a surface with nanotopography compared with a smooth surface (control).
Materials And Methods: Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were plated on different surfaces and compared at 3, 7, and 14 days for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, expression of genes (osterix [OSX], runt-related transcription factor 2 [RUNX2], bone morphogenetic protein 2 [BMP2], and ALP), and expression of miRNAs. Western blot was also used to detect osteogenic proteins (BMP2, OSX, and osteocalcin [OCN]). Scanning electron microscopy of cells plated onto the surfaces was obtained.
Results: ALP activity on different surfaces was significantly greater in the nanotopography surface. At day 14, there was a 3.5-fold and a 9-fold increase for the RUNX2 and OSX genes, respectively. BMP2 and ALP also increased by fourfold and sevenfold compared with the control. Protein levels for OSX and BMP2 were also upregulated compared with the control group. Using RNA sequencing technology (RNA-Seq), a total of 117 miRNAs were found to be differentially expressed comparing the control (day 7) with the nanosurface (day 14). Forty-five miRNAs were upregulated, and 72 were downregulated. Several of the miRNAs that were differently expressed regulate osteogenic genes. For example, hsa-miR-135b-5p targets OCN, BSP, RUNX2, COL15A1, and OSX; hsa-miR-122-5p targets OPN; hsa-miR-196a-5p targets BMP4; hsa-miR-26b-5p targets BMP2; and hsa-miR-148b-3p targets OPN.
Conclusion: Surfaces with nanotopography have the potential to improve the osseointegration response in order to reduce the osseointegration time and also increase bone formation around the implants, improving areas with low bone quality. Within the limitation of this study, nanotopography surfaces affected MSC differentiation to osteoblasts. Several miRNAs were differentially regulated by surface topography. These miRNAs could be related to the differentiation response to help control the osseointegration process.

Campylobacter jejuni, a major cause of foodborne zoonotic infections worldwide, shows a paradoxical ability to survive despite its susceptibility to environmental and food-processing stressors. This resilience is likely due to the bacterium entering a viable but non-culturable state, often within biofilms, or even initiating biofilm formation as a survival strategy. This study presents an innovative application of NanoLuc bioluminescence to accurately monitor the development of C.

A three-dimensional numerical model of the vacuum sintering furnace was established, combined with the custom program of temperature-voltage feedback regulation. Through simulationand experimental validation, the heating and holding stage as well as the thermal hysteresis phenomenon of the furnace were analyzed, a dimensionless quantity of hysteresis temperature difference was proposed and calculated, the distribution of the electric field and temperature uniformity of the furnace were discussed in detail, while the structural improvement approach was proposed based on simulation. The results show that: during the heating process, the maximum of thermal hysteresis temperature difference between the graphite cylinder and the heating tube is 0.

Prevalence of Complications Due to Transphyseal Hematogenous Osteomyelitis.

Pediatric Orthopaedic Unit, Pediatric Surgery Service, Geneva University Hospitals, Geneva, Switzerland.
Background: Transphyseal hematogenous osteomyelitis (THO) is a common infectious condition, being present in 25% of patients with hematogenous osteomyelitis. A large proportion of pediatric hematogenous osteomyelitis infections can spread through the growth cartilage and therefore may be potentially responsible for growth disorders, leading to limb-length discrepancy or angular deformities. The purpose of the present study was to identify both the prevalence of complications caused by transphyseal osteomyelitis and factors influencing their occurrence.
