Published: October 2024

There have been dwindling numbers of replantations in the United States. Despite the advocacy for centralization in hand trauma, the fundamental landscape and attitudes of surgeons toward replantation have remained lackluster. There is growing and substantial evidence to demonstrate the superior outcomes of replantation in comparison to revision amputation in most scenarios. This article aims to delve into the factors contributing to the decreasing numbers of replantations and proposes strategies to overcome this issue.

Global Analysis of microRNA-like RNAs Reveals Differential Regulation of Pathogenicity and Development in Causing Apple Replant Disease.

J Fungi (Basel)

State Key Laboratory of North China Crop Improvement and Regulation, College of Plant Protection, Hebei Agricultural University, Baoding 071000, China.

This study investigated the expression profiles of microRNA-like RNAs (milRNAs) in (), a key pathogen causing Apple replant disease (ARD), across spore to mycelium formation stages. Using small RNA sequencing (sRNA-seq) and bioinformatics, we identified and analyzed milRNAs, revealing their targeting of 2364 mRNAs involved in 20 functional categories, including metabolic and cellular processes, based on gene ontology (GO) analysis. An analysis of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) showed that these mRNAs are related to carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism pathways.

Identifying potential predictive indicators for reimplantation timing in two-stage revision: a meta-analysis and system review.

Arch Orthop Trauma Surg

December 2024

Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Orthopedic Research Institute, Stem Cell and Tissue Engineering Research Center, State Key Laboratory of Biotherapy, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, 610041, Sichuan, People's Republic of China.

Purpose: The two-stage exchange revision represents a pivotal strategy in the management of prosthetic joint infections, wherein the judicious timing of reimplantation serves as a crucial determinant for therapeutic success. At present, attempts have been made to utilize predictive models to establish the optimal timing for reimplantation; however, their predictive accuracy remains unsatisfactory. This inadequacy primarily arises from the lack of dependable predictive indicators, which demonstrate inconsistent effectiveness across various studies and occasionally yield contradictory outcomes.

Objective: To explore the therapeutic value of laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy compared to single ureteral bladder reimplantation in the treatment of pediatric complete renal duplication.

Methods: This retrospective study included 80 pediatric patients with complete renal duplication who underwent surgical treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2015 to December 2022. Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical approach: the laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy group (LUU group, n = 45) and the single ureteral bladder reimplantation group (UR group, n = 35).
