A Modified Mason-Allen Suture Enhancement Technique (Sunglasses Loop) for Single-Row Repair of Medium-to-Large Rotator Cuffs.

We propose a single-row repair method for medium-to-large rotator cuff rotator cuff tears using a modified Mason-Allen suture enhancement technique (sunglasses loop), which uses high-tensile modified Mason-Allen sutures to close the medial rotator cuff tissues to form a sunglasses loop, resets the rotator cuff tissues via traction with the high-tensile suture, repairs the rotator cuff in a single row with triple-loaded suture anchor (anchor with 3 high-strength sutures), and finally employs an outer row of staples to secure the suture to the lateral aspect of the greater tuberosity, preventing the tendon from pulling out. This method uses a special sunglasses-shaped suture loop, which produces an increase in holding power and a reduction in tension relative to other single-row repair techniques and reduces the rate of rotator cuff retear.

A multicentre study on the clinical characteristics of newborns infected with coronavirus disease 2019 during the omicron wave.

Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of newborns infected with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during the Omicron wave.

Methods: From December 1, 2022, to January 4, 2023, clinical data were collected from neonates with COVID-19 who were admitted to 10 hospitals in Foshan City, China. Their epidemiological histories, clinical manifestations and outcomes were analysed.

[Predictive significance of exhaled breath temperature for airway inflammation changes in children with asthma].

Objective: To explore the predictive significance of exhaled breath temperature (EBT) for airway inflammation changes in children with asthma.

Methods: A total of 60 children with asthma who met the inclusion criteria at the first visit were chosen as the asthma group, and 60 healthy children were selected as the control group. The EBT level was measured by the latest third-generation product (X-halo).

Serum miR-146a and miR-150 as Potential New Biomarkers for Hip Fracture-Induced Acute Lung Injury.

Background: Acute lung injury (ALI) and subsequent pulmonary infection are the most severe and usually fatal complications for elderly hip fracture patients. It is necessary to find some biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis of it.

Objective: This study is aimed at examining the differential expression of miR-146a, miR-150, and cytokines (IL-6 and IL-10) between younger and elderly rats suffering from hip fracture and investigating the possible meaning of them in early diagnosis and prognosis of ALI after hip fracture.

Prognostic factors of regression and relapse of complex atypical hyperplasia and well-differentiated endometrioid carcinoma with conservative treatment.

Objective: To evaluate possible prognostic factors regarding regression and relapse of complex atypical hyperplasia (CAH) and well-differentiated endometrioid adenocarcinoma (WDC) treated with conservative treatment.

Methods: The retrospective study reviewed clinicopathologic, treatment, regression and relapse data from patients diagnosed with CAH or WDC who were treated with conservative treatment at 4 institutions. Potential factor evaluation was performed.
