Objective: To review the research progress of medicine biomaterials in prevention and treatment of adhesion after tendon injury, and to provide reference for clinical treatment.

Methods: The literature on the application of medical biomaterials in the prevention and treatment of tendon adhesions in recent years was reviewed, and the biological process, treatment methods, and current status of tendon adhesions were summarized.

Results: Tendon adhesion as part of the healing process of the tendon is the biological response of the tendon to the injury and is also a common complication of joint dysfunction. Application of medical biomaterials can achieve better biological function of postoperative tendon by reducing the adhesion of peritendon tissues as far as possible without adversely affecting the tendon healing process.

Conclusion: The use of medical biomaterials is conducive to reduce the adhesion of tendon after operation, and the appropriate anti-adhesion material should be selected according to the patients' condition and surgical needs.

Statement Of Problem: The impact of free gingival graft (FGG) dimensions on the postsurgical shrinkage of keratinized tissue width (KTW) and surface area in posterior implant sites is unclear. Standardized assessments of how graft dimensions influence KTW and surface area shrinkage rates over a 6-month period after FGG are lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this prospective parallel cohort study was to examine the impact of the graft dimensions on the postsurgical shrinkage of KTW and surface area over a 6-month follow-up period after FGG in the posterior regions.

Direct pacing of the mid myocardium where re-entry originates can be used to prevent ventricular arrhythmias and circumvent the need for painful defibrillation or cardiac ablation. However, there are no pacing electrodes small enough to navigate the coronary veins that cross these culprit scar regions. To address this need, we have developed an injectable ionically conductive hydrogel electrode that can fill the epicardial coronary veins and transform them into flexible electrodes.

Objective: Research and tools are necessary for understanding prostate cancer biology. 3D cell culture models have been created to overcome the limitations of animal models and 2D cell culture. The amniotic membrane (AM), a natural biomaterial, emerges as an ideal scaffold for 3D cultures due to its accessibility and incorporation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in both solid and liquid forms.

Influence of Axial Rotation Between the Femoral Neck and Ankle Joint on Kinematics in Normal Knees: A Cross-Sectional Study.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev

January 2025

From the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Bunkyo, Tokyo (Dr. Kono, Dr. Taketomi, Dr. Kage, Dr. Inui, and Dr. Tanaka); the Department of Information Systems, Faculty of Engineering, Saitama Institute of Technology, Fukaya, Saitama (Dr. Yamazaki); the Department of Orthopedic Biomaterial Science, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita, Osaka (Dr. Tamaki, and Dr. Tomita); the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Saitama Medical University, Saitama Medical Center, Kawagoe, Saitama (Dr. Inui); and the Department of Health Science, Graduate School of Health Science, Morinomiya University of Medical Sciences, Suminoe, Osaka, Japan (Dr. Tomita).

Background: The effect of axial rotation between the femoral neck and ankle joint (total rotation [TR]) on normal knees is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the TR effect on normal knee kinematics.

Methods: Volunteers were divided into groups large (L), intermediate (I), and small (S), using hierarchical cluster analysis based on TR in the standing position.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of death worldwide and greatly reduces the quality of life. Utilizing remote monitoring has been shown to improve quality of life and reduce exacerbations, but remains an ongoing area of research. We introduce a novel method for estimating changes in ease of breathing for COPD patients, using obstructed breathing data collected via wearables.
