Repair of Ramp Lesions of the Medial Meniscus With ACL Reconstruction Can Better Restore Knee Stability: A Cadaveric Study.

Background: Ramp lesions of the medial meniscus have an impact on joint stability in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient knees, but the impact of lesion length and repair is unclear.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this cadaveric study was to evaluate the effect of medial meniscal ramp lesion repair on the biomechanics of ACL-deficient knee joints. It was hypothesized that (1) ramp lesions will increase the anterior tibial translation (ATT), internal rotation (IR), and external rotation (ER) in ACL-deficient knee joints; (2) increasing the length of the ramp lesion will further increase the ATT, IR, and ER; and (3) repairing the ramp lesion will reduce the ATT, IR, and ER after ACL reconstruction.

A prognosis-predictive nomogram of ovarian cancer with two immune-related genes: and .

Ovarian carcinoma (OV) is one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies globally, and the overall 5-year survival rate of OV was 47% in 2018 according to American data. To increase the survival rate of patients with OV, many researchers have sought to identify biomarkers that act as both prognosis-predictive markers and therapy targets. However, most of these have not been suitable for clinical application.

Impact of Ulnar Styloid Fractures on the Treatment Effect of Distal Radius Fractures with Volar Plate Fixation: A Case Control Study.

Background: There is a controversy regarding whether ulnar styloid fractures affect the efficacy of treatment of distal radial fractures. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether ulnar styloid fractures impact wrist joint function in patients without distal radioulnar joint instability, after distal radial fracture fixation using a volar plate.

Materials And Methods: Seventy-five patients with a distal radial fracture were treated using a volar plate between February 2010 and February 2016 (33 men and 42 women; mean age 40.

Efficacy and Safety of a Novel Catheter for Transradial Cerebral Angiography.

Background: The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel catheter for right radial artery approach cerebral angiography.

Methods: Patients from the Neurology Department of The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Traditional Chinese Medical University who underwent diagnostic cerebral angiography of either the left vertebral artery dominant type or balanced type were enrolled in this study.

Results: A total of 167 patients were treated between February 2016 and December 2017, of whom 44 were excluded based on study exclusion criteria and 123 were enrolled in the present analysis.

The Effect of Vascular Morphology on Selective Left Vertebral Artery Catheterization in Right-sided Radial Artery Cerebral Angiography.

Background: The aim of this study is to determine, via retrospective study, the effects of vascular morphology and related factors on the success of selective arterial catheterization of the left vertebral artery when approached via right-sided radial artery cerebral angiography.

Methods: Patients who had undergone diagnostic cerebral angiography were enrolled, and their medical history, catheter type, and vessel morphology were analyzed.

Results: A total of 205 patients were enrolled in this study from February 2014 to December 2015.

Response surface modeling and optimization of accelerated solvent extraction of four lignans from fructus schisandrae.

A new method based on accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) combined with response surface methodology (RSM) modeling and optimization has been developed for the extraction of four lignans in Fructus Schisandrae (the fruits of Schisandra chinensis Baill). The RSM method, based on a three level and three variable Box-Behnken design (BBD), was employed to obtain the optimal combination of extraction condition. In brief, the lignans schizandrin, schisandrol B, deoxyschizandrin and schisandrin B were optimally extracted with 87% ethanol as extraction solvent, extraction temperature of 160 ° C, static extraction time of 10 min, extraction pressure of 1,500 psi, flush volume of 60% and one extraction cycle.
