Objective: Abnormal load stress caused by joint instability has been reported to be one of the factors responsible for the development of osteoarthritis (OA). However, few studies have investigated the efficacy of exercise therapy for patients with knee instability-induced OA, and there are no specific treatment guidelines or effects for this form of OA. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of exercise treatments for joint instability in patients with knee OA by a systematic review.
Design: Systematic review.
Results: Searches in three databases, PubMed, Cochrane, and the Physiotherapy Evidence Database, yielded 14 articles that were scrutinized, and 6 articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected.
Conclusions: Exercise therapy focusing on joint instability, including muscle maintenance and strength training, and specific training targeting knee instability have no additional beneficial effects on knee joint instability. However, because of the benefits of treatment protocols based on patient attributes in exercise treatment focused on joint instability, it is necessary to investigate the effects in more detail in the future.

Purpose: While treatment modalities for Maisonneuve fractures involving the proximal third of the fibula are established, no studies to date have reported outcomes associated with syndesmotic-only fixation of middle third fibular shaft fractures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcomes associated with syndesmotic-only fixation in the treatment of Maisonneuve fractures involving the middle third of the fibula.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on 257 cases of syndesmotic ankle instability with associated fibular fractures at a level 1 trauma center between 2013 and 2023.

Meiosis in mammalian oocytes is interrupted by a prolonged arrest at the germinal vesicle stage, during which oocytes have to repair DNA lesions to ensure genome integrity or otherwise undergo apoptosis. The FIRRM/FLIP-FIGNL1 complex dissociates RAD51 from the joint DNA molecules in both homologous recombination (HR) and DNA replication. However, as a type of non-meiotic, non-replicative cells, whether this RAD51-dismantling mechanism regulates genome integrity in oocytes remains elusive.

Natural plant-derived polysaccharides exhibit substantial potential for treating ulcerative colitis (UC) owing to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and favorable safety profiles. However, their practical application faces several challenges, including structural instability in gastric acid, imprecise targeting of inflamed regions, and limited intestinal retention times. To address these limitations, pH-responsive, colon-targeting microspheres (pWGPAC MSs) are developed for delivering phosphorylated wild ginseng polysaccharides (pWGP) to alleviate UC.

Background: To compare the clinical outcomes of inferior extensor retinaculum (IER) augmentation following repair of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) with isolated ATFL repair in patients with an arthroscopically confirmed grade 3 lesion of the ATFL.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of consecutive chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) patients who underwent arthroscopic ATFL repair between March 2018 and August 2022. The average age of the patients was 31.

Purpose: Previous studies have demonstrated significant biomechanical differences between individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) and healthy controls during the Y-balance test. This study aimed to examine the effects of kinesio taping (KT) on lower limb biomechanical characteristics during the Y-balance anterior reach task in individuals with CAI.
Methods: A total of 30 participants were recruited, comprising 15 individuals with CAI and 15 healthy controls.
