Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a significant orthopedic issue globally with varying success rates among different populations. Better understanding of functional outcome can help design suitable protocols for ACL reconstruction and recovery. This review aims to evaluate the epidemiological trends and functional outcomes of ACLR procedures in India.
Methods: The review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, by searching in Google Scholar, Pubmed, Web of Science and Science Direct databases in February 2024. The study encompassed patient demographics, and postoperative outcomes in Indian populations upon ACLR using hamstring tendon autografts. Meta-analysis was conducted with RevMan 5.4 using random-effects models. Funnel plots were used to explore publication bias. Subgroup analyses of follow-up terms and age were also performed.
Results: A total of 26 studies were pooled for overall qualitative and quantitative analysis. Sports injuries (52 %) were found to be more common, followed by road traffic accidents (31 %). Injuries were mostly on the right knees (56 %). Functional outcome analysis using Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale (MD 34.74, 95 % CI 31.58 to 37.89), International Knee Documentation Committee (MD 36.74, 95 % CI 32.36 to 41.13), Tegner Activity Scale (MD 0.90, 95 % CI -0.01 to 1.80) revealed statistically significant overall outcome effect. Statistically non-significant differences were found between follow-up to 6 months and follow-up above 6 months as well as with age. However, meta-analysis showed high level of heterogeneity.
Conclusion: ACLR in Indian population is largely successful in restoring functional activity. However, the outcome of this review is limited by the heterogeneity factor. Further, the Indian studies have not focused on factors affecting the outcome. Therefore, future studies in this direction are needed for understanding the clinical success.

Biomolecular condensates segregate nuclei into discrete regions, facilitating the execution of distinct biological functions. Here, it is identified that the WW domain containing adaptor with coiled-coil (WAC) is localized to nuclear speckles via its WW domain and plays a pivotal role in regulating alternative splicing through the formation of biomolecular condensates via its C-terminal coiled-coil (CC) domain. WAC acts as a scaffold protein and facilitates the integration of RNA-binding motif 12 (RBM12) into nuclear speckles, where RBM12 potentially interacts with the spliceosomal U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP).

The rapid and efficient bone regeneration is still in unsatisfactory outcomes, demonstrating alternative strategy and molecular mechanism is necessary. Nanoscale biomaterials have shown some promising results in enhancing bone regeneration, however, the detailed interaction mechanism between nanomaterial and cells/tissue formation is not clear. Herein, a molecular-based inorganic-organic nanomaterial poly(citrate-siloxane) (PCS) is reported which can rapidly enhance osteogenic differentiation and bone formation through a special interaction with the cellular surface communication network factor 3 (CCN3), further activating the Wnt10b/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Ahmed glaucoma valve in pediatric patients with refractory glaucoma.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple major databases, including PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library of Systematic Reviews, Science Direct, China's National Knowledge Infrastructure, and the Wanfang database. We retrieved studies published before December 2022 that met the inclusion criteria, including clinical controlled trials (randomized controlled trials) and clinical noncontrolled trials (non-randomized controlled trials) on the use of Ahmed glaucoma valve in pediatric patients with refractory glaucoma.
