ABSTRACT Background Previous studies have suggested that changes in the composition of extracellular matrix (ECM) play a significant role development ligamentum flavum hypertrophy (LFH) and histological differences between ventral dorsal layers hypertrophied flavum. Although LFH is associated with increased fibrosis layer, comprehensive research exploring characteristics ECM its mechanical properties both regions limited. Furthermore, distribution fibrosis‐associated myofibroblasts within...
The etiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is complex, with environmental factors playing a significant role in its pathophysiology. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs usage and Helicobacter pylori infection are the two most frequent causes peptic ulcer disease (PUD). link between PUD T2DM unclear, comprehensive analyses anti-PUD medications' impact on risk, especially Asian populations, lacking. This study aimed to determine relationship PUD, medications, likelihood developing T2DM....
Abstract Suture anchors and screws are commonly used for fixation of humeral greater tuberosity (GT) fractures in either arthroscopic or open surgeries, but no biomechanical studies have been performed to compare the strength constructs using these two implants. This cadaveric study aimed three different management GT fractures: Double‐Row Anchor Fixation (DR); Suture‐Bridge Technique suture knotless (SB); Two‐Screw (TS). The experimental procedure was designed assess fracture displacement...
In this study, we modified the previously proposed X2CT-GAN to build a 2Dto3D-GAN of spine. This study also incorporated radiologist's perspective in adjustment input signals prove feasibility automatic production three-dimensional (3D) structures spine from simulated bi-planar two-dimensional (2D) X-ray images. Data 1012 computed tomography (CT) studies 984 patients were retrospectively collected. We tested model under different dataset sizes (333, 666, and 1012) with bone signal conditions...
The role of oxidative stress in ligamentum flavum (LF) hypertrophy has not been elucidated. We hypothesize that induces inflammatory responses and the subsequent fibrotic processes LF, via activation Akt MAPK pathways. Specimens LFs were collected during surgeries for lumbar disc herniation (LDH) or spinal stenosis (LSS). Part LF specimens underwent analyses ROS, markers, mediators, with remainder minced cell cultures. cultures treated H2O2, after which cells lysed analyzed western blotting....
The study included 2 fresh-frozen cadavers.
Objective: To investigate whether progressive early digit mobilization resulted in better outcomes for hand stiffness and related functional results, as well the effects on bone healing process. Design: Prospective, pilot randomized controlled trial. Setting: A university hospital southern Taiwan. Participants: Twenty-two patients with distal radius fracture into two groups: or control. Interventions: The intervention group received 45 minutes per treatment session three sessions week until...
In patients with lateral epicondylitis recalcitrant to nonsurgical treatments, surgical intervention is considered. Despite the numerous therapies reported, current trend of treatment places particular emphasis on minimally invasive techniques.The authors present a newly developed procedure, ultrasonographically guided percutaneous radiofrequency thermal lesioning (RTL), and its clinical efficacy in treating epicondylitis.Level evidence, 4.Thirty-four (35 elbows), mean age 52.1 years (range,...
The aim of this study was to investigate the risk fracture and difference between sexes from a nationwide database among children aged 4-17 years with or without attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD, ICD-9-CD codes 314).
