Background: Despite a sufficient number of papers on the technique of transtibial amputations, the technique of Ertl-type reamputation in short tibial stump remains unreported.
Aim: To propose a modification of the Ertl operation in the proximal tibia.
Case Presentation: The technique of bone bridge creation in a patient with a malformed stump in the upper third of the tibia at the expense of the regenerate formed after corticotomy of the tibial remnant and dosed distraction of the graft by the Ilizarov apparatus is described. Radiological, ultrasound and MRI methods were used to control the regenerate. The follow-up period was 36 months. At 3.5 months, a synostosis was formed, which allowed primary and then permanent prosthesis with a full-contact prosthesis. At 36 months, the organotypic remodelling of the regenerate was completed. The patient works, uses the prosthesis for 15-16 hours a day, and walks on average 8-10 km.
Conclusion: The use of the proposed method makes it possible to obtain tibial synostosis without their shortening with elimination of valgus deviation of the fibula stump and the possibility of early functional loading. Synostosis formation occurs within 3.5 months after surgery. Organotypic bone remodelling occurs during primary and then permanent prosthetics. The formed bone bridge has a large support area, which is maintained during the whole follow-up period of 36 months and allows to perform full-contact prosthetics with maximum load on the residual limb end.

Derivatives of the rhodamine-based dye 5-TAMRA (5-carboxy-tetramethylrhodamine) and the indocarbocyanine-type Cy3B (cyclized derivative of the cyanine dye Cy3), both representing important fluorophores frequently used for the labeling of biomolecules (proteins, nucleic acids) and bioactive compounds, such as receptor ligands, were photophysically investigated in aqueous solution, i.e., in neat phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and in PBS supplemented with 1 wt % bovine serum albumin (BSA).

The development of cell-based microfluidic assays offers exciting new opportunities in toxicity testing, allowing for integration of new functionalities, automation, and high throughput in comparison to traditional well-plate assays. As endocrine disruption caused by environmental chemicals and pharmaceuticals represents a growing global health burden, the purpose of the current study was to contribute towards the miniaturization of the H295R steroidogenesis assay, from the well-plate to the microfluidic format. Microfluidic chip fabrication with the established well-plate material polystyrene (PS) is expensive and complicated; PDMS and thiol-ene were therefore tested as potential chip materials for microfluidic H295R cell culture, and evaluated in terms of cell attachment, cell viability, and steroid synthesis in the absence and presence of collagen surface modification.

Delaying administration of intravenous furosemide (time-to-diuretics) has been postulated to increase mortality, but prior reports have been inconclusive. We aimed to evaluate the association between time-to-diuretics and mortality in the international REPORT-HF registry.

Analysis of structure-activity data from a large corpus of medicinal chemistry literature identified a set of ring replacements that have a significant chance of improved biological activity. A database of these replacements for 245 common heterocyclic rings is provided. Based on the analysis of the whole data set, 80 diverse substituted rings are suggested for use in an early stage of hit optimization and in the design of focused libraries with the goal to explore structure-activity relationships and quickly improve the biological activity of the explored series.
