Background: This study compared the clinical results for nonporous stems vs. trabecular metal (TM) stems used in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) for comminuted proximal humeral fractures (CPHFs) in elderly patients.
Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 41 shoulders (39 women) of patients with CPHF aged >70 years who underwent RSA were investigated. The minimum follow-up period was 2 years. A total of 15 shoulders were treated with Grammont-style RSA using nonporous stems (the G-RSA group), and 26 shoulders were treated with RSA combining TM stems (the FR-RSA group). The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) shoulder score, Constant score, shoulder joint range of motion (ROM), and radiographic findings were compared between the 2 groups.
Results: ASES scores and Constant scores were significantly higher in the FR-RSA group than in the G-RSA group. External rotation at the side in the FR-RSA group was significantly higher than that in the G-RSA group. In the FR-RSA and G-RSA groups, the union rates at the greater tuberosity (GT) were 88.5% and 46.7%, respectively, and scapular notching rates were 20% and 7.7%, respectively. Based on a subanalysis, the age was lower, body mass index was higher, and ASES scores, Constant scores, and external rotation ROM were higher in the GT union group than in the GT nonunion group.
Conclusion: GT bone union rates were high, and external rotation ROM of the shoulder joint were more improved for RSA using TM stems than those for RSA using nonporous stems in elderly patients with CPHF.

Catalyst deactivation by sintering and coking is a long-standing issue in metal-catalyzed harsh high-temperature hydrocarbon reactions. Ultrathin oxide coatings of metal nanocatalysts have recently appeared attractive to address this issue, while the porosity of the overlayer is difficult to control to preserve the accessibility of embedded metal nanoparticles, thus often leading to a large decrease in activity. Here, we report that a nanometer-thick alumina coating of MgAlO-supported metal catalysts followed by high-temperature reduction can transform a nonporous amorphous alumina overlayer into a porous MgAlO crystalline spinel structure with a pore size of 2-3 nm and weakened acidity.

Article Synopsis
- Soft porous crystals can adjust their structure based on their environment, but finding the right mix of flexibility and rigidity is tough, especially for molecular crystals formed through weak interactions.
- A new flexible organic cage molecule features hinge-like pillars that allow significant rotation, supporting a wide range of hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) with varying structural configurations.
- The molecule can easily change into two different crystalline forms when exposed to specific vapors, showcasing a unique self-healing ability along with structural memory.

Porous borocarbonitrides (denoted BCN) were prepared through pyrolysis of the polymer stemmed from dehydrocoupled ethane 1,2-diamineborane (BHNHCHCHNHBH, EDAB) in the presence of F-127. These materials contain interconnected pores in the nanometer range with a high specific surface area up to 511 m · g. Gas adsorption of CO demonstrated an interesting uptake (3.

Background: Early failure of uncemented femoral stems associated with incorrect sizing is a known postoperative complication. Surgeons are often faced with the question of whether an uncemented stem of adequate stability or a larger-sized stem should be implanted, especially when the proximal femoral cancellous bone is adequate. The biomechanical effect of sub-optimal stem sizing in the femur remains unclear.
