AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how the sclerosis rim volume ratio (SVR) relates to the risk of femoral head collapse after non-vascularized fibular grafting (NVFG) in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH).
- The researchers analyzed 57 patients who had 64 hips operated on and found that 46.88% experienced significant collapse (greater than 2 mm) post-surgery.
- Key findings revealed that the Japanese Investigation Committee classification (JIC) and SVR1 were identified as independent risk factors for collapse progression, with a predictive model yielding a strong performance in anticipating these complications post-surgery.
Article Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to determine the relationship between sclerosis rim volume ratio (SVR) and the progression of femoral head collapse after non-vascularized fibular grafting (NVFG) surgery in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), investigating risk factors associated with femoral head collapse progression and establishing a predictive model to enhance clinical decision-making.
Methods: ONFH patients who underwent NVFG between January 2008 and December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively to assess the risk of post-operative collapse progression (collapse >2 mm). A logistic regression model was used to evaluate the independent risk factors associated with collapse progression, including age, sex, etiology, affected side, Japanese Investigation Committee classification (JIC), and the sclerosis rim volume ratio (SVR). SVR values was collected from three weight-bearing columns, namely SVR1, SVR2, and SVR3, respectively.
Results: 57 patients with 64 hips who had undergone NVFG and were followed up for at least one year were included. During the follow-up, collapse＞2 mm occurred in 30 hips (46.88%). Multivariable analysis revealed that JIC (p =0.037) and SVR1 (p = 0.04) were independent risk factors for collapse progression after NVFG. The results of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis indicated that the aforementioned indices provided a satisfactory prediction of early femoral head collapse progression in ONFH patients after NVFG. The regression model using the above two indicators as a composite index showed satisfactory performance in predicting early postoperative femoral head collapse progression, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 84.6%.
Conclusions: SVR is significant predictor of post-operative collapse progression following NVFG, and the composite index provides an optimal predictive value for femoral head collapse progression after surgery.

Background: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a challenging condition, primarily affecting young and middle-aged individuals, which results in hip dysfunction and, ultimately, femoral head collapse. However, the comparative effectiveness of joint-preserving procedures, particularly in the early stages of ONFH (ARCO stage I or II), remains inconclusive. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a novel technique called small-diameter core decompression (CD) combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), for the treatment of early-stage ONFH.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurological disorder marked by progressive cognitive decline, memory deficits, and neuronal cell loss (Knopman, 2021). A brain region significantly impacted by the progression of AD is the subiculum, a structure responsible for spatial navigation, cognitive processes, and the modulation of emotional and affective behaviors within the hippocampus (Fanselow and Dong, 2010). Although subiculum cell loss has been well-established as an early indicator of AD (Carlesimo et al.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) presents complex molecular heterogeneity, influenced by a variety of factors including heterogeneous phenotypic, genetic, and neuropathologic presentations. Regulation of gene expression mechanisms is a primary interest of investigations aiming to uncover the underlying disease mechanisms and progression.
Method: We generated bulk RNA-sequencing in prefrontal cortex from 565 AD brain samples (non-Hispanic Whites, n = 399; Hispanics, n = 113; African American, n = 12) across six U.

Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by upper and lower motor neuron death that leads to paralysis with the average survival being 3-5 years after diagnosis. The major pathological protein in ALS is TDP-43. TDP-43 becomes hyperphosphorylated and forms inclusions mainly in the cytoplasm.

Background: There is considerable variability in the rate of clinical progression among individuals with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and prognostic markers are lacking. Moreover, due to the rarity of postmortem data, the relationship between rate of progression and postmortem tau and TDP-43 proteinopathy is understudied.
Method: To explore the pathologic underpinnings of differences in clinical progression of FTD, we used clinical data collected by the Penn Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research from 130 patients with autopsy-confirmed frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD-tau = 62, FTLD-TDP = 68) across six domains (age at onset, survival in years, first Clinical Dementia Rating [CDR] scale score, first Mini-Mental State Examination [MMSE] score, annual change in CDR, annual change in MMSE).
