Objective: The aim of this study was to record mandibular kinematics in patients after total TMJ endoprosthesis using a magnetic sensory system.

Material And Methods: The movement of the mandibular was examined in 10 patients who underwent TMJ reconstruction using total endoprostheses. The condylar range of motion, the angle of the transversal condylar inclination (TCI), the speed of joint movement (max S) and the stability distance between the position at the beginning of movement and at the end (Start/end) of TMJ prostheses and native joints were measured 1 week before surgery (T0) and 12 months after (T1).

Results: The study showed an increase in the linear distance of the native joint when opening (=0.004), protrusion (=0.004), balancing side (=0.001) and max S of the native joint and endoprosthesis when opening (=0.009), working side (=0.008) and balancing side (=0.001). A decrease in indicators was observed in the Start/end of the native joint when opening (=0.035), protrusion (=0.02), working side (=0.004), as well as the endoprosthesis relative to the pathological joint when opening (=0.028), protrusion (=0.001) and balancing side (=0.003).

Conclusion: In the present study, in all cases, a slight but clearly defined translational shift on the side of the intervention was detected on the control condylograms, which can be referred to as «pseudotranslation».

The technology of native chemical ligation and postligation desulfurization has greatly expanded the scope of modern chemical protein synthesis. Here, we report that ultrasonic energy can trigger robust and clean protein desulfurization, and we developed an ultrasound-induced desulfurization (USID) strategy that is simple to use and generally applicable to peptides and proteins. The USID strategy involves a simple ultrasonic cleaning bath and an easy-to-use and easy-to-remove sonosensitizer, titanium dioxide.

Articular cartilage has a limited self-healing capacity, leading to joint degeneration and osteoarthritis over time. Therefore, bioactive scaffolds are gaining attention as a promising approach to regenerating and repairing damaged articular cartilage through tissue engineering. In this study, we reported on a novel 3D bio-printed proteinaceous bioactive scaffolds combined with natural porcine cancellous bone dECM, tempo-oxidized cellulose nanofiber (TOCN), and alginate carriers for TGF-β1, FGF-18, and ADSCs to repair cartilage defects.

Review of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.

Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a common condition of the hip that can cause significant damage to the joint, leading to degeneration and osteoarthritis. FAIS constitutes an abnormal and dynamic contact between the femoral head-neck junction and the acetabular rim, resulting from altered bone morphology at one or both sites. Repetitive trauma at the site of impingement generates progressive damage to the acetabular labrum, chondrolabral junction, and articular cartilage.

Background: There is growing evidence that medial meniscotibial ligament (MTL) deficiency and medial meniscus extrusion may precede the development of some medial meniscus posterior root (MMPR) tears. However, no study has investigated the biomechanical consequences of MTL deficiency on the MMPR.

Hypothesis: (1) MTL deficiency leads to increased medial meniscus extrusion, (2) increased medial meniscus extrusion is correlated with increased compression and shear forces at the MMPR, and (3) MTL repair restores medial meniscus extrusion and MMPR forces to native levels.

Background: Native and periprosthetic joint infections are devastating conditions fraught with patient morbidity and mortality. Aseptic and septic joints are often debrided and irrigated to decrease bacterial loads when preventing or treating infection. However, the effect of clinically used irrigation solutions on the native cellular components of the synovial joint is unknown.
