Background: Femoral neck fractures in young people are usually Pauwels Type III fractures. The common treatment method are multiple parallel cannulated screws or dynamic hip screw sliding compression fixation. Due to the huge shear stress, the rate of complications such as femoral head necrosis and nonunion is still high after treatment. The aim of our study was to compare the stabilities of two fixation methods in fixating pauwels type III femoral neck fractures.
Methods: All biomimetic fracture samples are fixed with three cannulated screws combined with a medial buttress plate. There were two fixation groups for the buttress plate and proximal fracture fragment: Group A, long screw (40 mm); Group B, short screw (6 mm). Samples were subjected to electrical strain measurement under a load of 500 N, axial stiffness was measured, and then the samples were axially loaded until failure. More than 5 mm of displacement or synthetic bone fracture was considered as construct failure.
Results: There were no significant differences in failure load (P = 0.669), stiffness (P = 0.842), or strain distribution (P > 0.05) between the two groups.
Conclusions: Unicortical short screws can provide the same stability as long screws for Pauwels Type III Femoral Neck Fractures.

Displaced Femoral Neck Fractures Treated with Percutaneous Compression Plates in Elderly Individuals: An Effect Analysis Based on Imaging.
Curr Med Imaging

Department of Orthopaedics, Wuxi Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University, Wuxi 214062, Jiangsu, China.
Background: The effects of percutaneous compression plate (PCP) internal fixation for femoral neck fractures (FNFs) in elderly individuals have rarely been reported. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the efficacy of PCCP internal fixation for displaced FNFs in elderly individuals based on imaging.
Methods: The clinical data of 32 elderly patients with FNFs treated with PCCP from January 2015 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.
Fracture classification and coronal plane position of bolt may affect the prognosis after femoral neck system (FNS) surgery for femoral neck fractures.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the risk factors for postoperative complications following Femoral Neck System (FNS) fixation in young patients with femoral neck fractures (FNFs).
Methods: We retrospective analyzed 133 patients with FNFs who underwent FNS fixation between May 2021 and October 2023. Potential risk factors that may affect the results included age, gender, body mass index (BMI), Pauwels classification, Garden classification, fracture anatomical classification, reduction method, reduction quality, coronal plane position of the FNS bolt.
The maize aquaporin ZmPIP1;6 enhances stomatal opening and CO2- and ABA-induced stomatal closure.

The plasma membrane aquaporin ZmPIP1;6 is expressed in maize stomatal complexes, with higher expression during the day than at night. To elucidate the role of ZmPIP1;6 in gas exchange and stomatal movement, it was expressed in maize (inbred line B104) under the control of p35S promoter (OE) or its native promoter fused with mYFP cDNA (mYFP-ZmPIP1;6). In stomatal complexes of the leaf mature zone, mYFP-ZmPIP1;6 showed higher expression in subsidiary cells than in guard cells, with light and dark treatments influencing its subcellular localization.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and complications of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) combined with sartorius muscle iliac bone graft transplantation (SIBFT) in the treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures in middle-aged and young adults.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 26 patients under the age of 60 with displaced femoral neck fractures (Pauwels III or Garden III-IV) treated at our institution between April 2019 to July 2022. All patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) through the Smith-Petersen (S-P) approach, augmented with a sartorius muscle iliac bone graft transplantation.
Rediscovery and redescription of Dixonius siamensis (Boulenger, 1899) (Squamata: Gekkonidae), type species of the genus, with lectotype designation.

We redescribe the type material of Phyllodactylus siamensis Boulenger, 1899, type species of the Southeast Asian gekkonid genus Dixonius Bauer, Good & Branch, 1997, using external morphology and cranial osteology. There is some evidence that the type series contains more than one species; we hence designate a lectotype in order to stabilize nomenclature and provide more precision on the geographical location of the type locality. Because the current concept of Dixonius siamensis auctorum is incomplete and composite, we provide a revised diagnosis based on the presently designated lectotype and a paralectotype from the same locality, as well as observations on new material from the type locality and the first photographs of live topotypical individuals.
