Falls and fall-related injuries in young male adults with excess weight are closely related to an increased cognitive load. Previous research mainly focuses on analyzing the postural control status of these populations performing cognitive tasks while stabilized walking progress but overlooked a specific period of walking known as gait initiation (GI). It is yet unknown the influences of cognitive load on this population's postural control status during GI.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is becoming a prevalent autoimmune disease affecting people worldwide, necessitating the exploration of novel therapeutic approaches due to the associated adverse effects of conventional therapeutic drugs. Sporidiobolus pararoseus polysaccharide (SPP) has been shown to exhibit significant immune stimulation and antioxidant activities. In this study, we constructed a mouse model of type II collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) to investigate the effects and potential mechanisms of SPP intervention on RA.

Introduction: Bladder cancer (BC) is a major health concern that poses a significant threat to the population, with an increasing incidence rate and a high risk of recurrence and progression. The primary clinical method for diagnosing BC is cystoscopy, but due to the limitations of traditional white light cystoscopy and inadequate clinical experience among junior physicians, its detection rate for bladder tumor, especially small and flat lesions, is relatively low. However, recent years have seen remarkable advancements in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the field of medicine.

Background: Sleep deprivation (SD) has become a global health concern with serious consequences containing memory deficits and gastrointestinal dysfunctions. The gut-brain axis serves as a crucial link between the brain and gut, and the utilization of chlorogenic acid (CGA) presents a compelling strategy for mitigating or potentially resolving various neuroinflammation-associated disorders. However, it is still unknown how CGA may interact with the gut, microbiota and the brain during SD.

Compartment syndrome is a condition that occurs when there is an increase in pressure within a muscle compartment, leading to a decrease in blood flow to the muscles and nerves within that compartment. If left untreated, this can lead to ischemic contracture, which is a late sequelae of compartment syndrome that occurs when there is sustained ischemic damage to the muscles. Timely diagnosis and treatment are critical in reducing the extent of permanent changes within muscle and nerve tissue.

A novel technique for treating simple transverse patellar fractures using cannulated screws: a cadaveric and clinical study.

J Orthop Surg Res

November 2023

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University, Nanjing, China.

Background: Tension band wiring (TBW) has conventionally been used for the open reduction and internal fixation of the patella. However, it suffers from distinct disadvantages such as large incision, implant irritation, and need for subsequent implant removal. Here, we propose a novel technique using closed reduction and percutaneous fixation with three cannulated screws (TCS), which may be an alternative to this established conventional technique.

Purpose: This study was conducted aimed at comparing the curative effect of external fixation combined with Kirschner wire fixation versus hollow screw fixation in the treatment of first metacarpal bone base fracture.

Methods: The current retrospective study included a total of 80 patients diagnosed with first metacarpal bone base fracture who were admitted in Wuxi 9th People's Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University between October 2017 and October 2020. The patients enrolled were equally divided into the combined group (40 cases, receiving external fixation combined with Kirschner wire fixation), and the control group (40 cases, receiving hollow screw fixation).

Ageing decreases the function of the immune system and increases susceptibility to some chronic, infectious, and autoimmune diseases. Senescence cells, which produce senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASPs), can activate the innate and adaptive immune responses. Macrophages are among the most abundant innate immune cell types in senescent microenvironments.

Department of General Surgery, Wuxi 9th People's Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University, Wuxi, Jiangsu 214000, People's Republic of China. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • Heat shock proteins (HSP) are important cellular proteins that help with proper protein function and are involved in various biological processes, including cancer development.
  • HSPs like HSP90, HSP70, and HSP27 are well-studied for their roles in cancer growth and resistance to treatment, while HSP20 (HSPB6) has been less explored despite its significance in the cardiovascular system.
  • This review highlights the emerging role of HSP20 in various cancers, showing it primarily has a protective and anticancer effect, suggesting it could be valuable in improving cancer diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a), a prominent member of the acid-sensing ion channel (ASIC) superfamily activated by extracellular protons, is ubiquitously expressed throughout the human body, including the nervous system and peripheral tissues. Excessive accumulation of Ca ions via ASIC1a activation may occur in the acidified microenvironment of blood or local tissues. ASIC1a-mediated Ca‑induced apoptosis has been implicated in numerous pathologies, including neurological disorders, cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis.
