Division of Pediatric Nephrology, Children's hospital of China Medical University, Taichung, Taiwan, R.O.C.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), a genetic disorder linked to mutations in the PHEX gene, leading to elevated FGF23 levels and associated health issues in Taiwanese patients.* -
- Researchers analyzed medical records of 102 suspected XLH patients from 2006 to 2022, identifying 44 different PHEX mutations and noting that 92.1% of patients had elevated FGF23 levels.* -
- The findings enhance understanding of PHEX mutations and FGF23 profiles in XLH, providing valuable information for clinical management, especially with the recent approval of burosumab as a treatment option.*

Objective: To evaluate an effectiveness of a single intra-articular injection of a new cross-linked hyaluronic acid by measuring thickness of the quadriceps muscle and femoral intercondylar cartilage in addition to subjective assessment.
Material And Methods: There were 49 patients with gonarthrosis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade II-III) who underwent a single intra-articular injection of Flexotron Cross into the knee joint with higher grade of arthrosis. The scores were assessed at baseline, after 1, 3 and 6 months using: 1) visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain syndrome, 2) Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), 3) Lequesne Index, 4) duration of standing on one leg, 5) thigh circumference, 6) thickness of quadriceps muscle and femoral intercondylar cartilage according to ultrasound data.

Myricetin is a natural flavonol widely occurring in wines. Many beneficial effects of myricetin in alcoholic beverages have been reported before, but never including anti-obesity. In the present study, we fed obese male Sprague-Dawley rats with ethanol solutions containing various concentrations of myricetin and found that myricetin may maintain the food intake while reduce the weight-gain, feed efficiency, level of blood lipids, adipocyte size, and weight and size of the perirenal and epididymal adipose tissues (P < 0.
