Adiponectin (ApN) is an adipocytokine that plays a fundamental role in energy homeostasis and counteracting inflammation. We examined whether ApN could be induced nonadipose tissue, the skeletal muscle, vivo, cultured myotubes response to lipopolysaccharides or proinflammatory cytokines. next explored underlying mechanisms. In injection of mice caused, after 24 h, approximately 10-fold rise mRNA abundance concomitant 70% increase levels tibialis anterior muscle. This induction was reproduced...
Reconstruction of the pelvic arch after resection a malignant tumor remains major surgical challenge because high rate associated complications. The purpose this investigation was to assess functional outcome and complication following treatment with bone allograft reconstruct pelvis.Twenty-four consecutive patients underwent excision reconstruction allograft. living were followed for minimum twenty-four months. There nineteen primary tumors, sixteen which high-grade sarcomas, there five...
Freeze-drying and gamma irradiation are commonly used for preservation sterilization in bone banking. The cumulative effects of preparation cancellous graft material have not been adequately studied, despite the clinical importance orthopaedic surgery. Taking benefit from symmetry left right femoral heads, influence lipid extraction followed by freeze-drying a head final 25-kGy was determined, with nonirradiated, nonprocessed counterpart as control. Five hundred fifty-six compression tests...
Osseous pelvic tumors can be resected and reconstructed using massive bone allografts. Geometric accuracy of the conventional surgical procedure has not yet been documented. The aim this experimental study was mainly to assess tumoral resection with a 10-mm margin, also evaluate geometry host-graft reconstruction.An model on plastic pelvises designed simulate tumor reconstruction. 4 experienced surgeons were asked resect 3 different reconstruct pelvises. 24 resections junctions available for...
The purpose of this current multicentre study is to analyse the presence alpha-defensin proteins in synovial fluid using Synovasure lateral flow device and determine its diagnostic reliability accuracy compared with prosthetic joint infection (PJI) criteria produced by Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS).A cohort 121 patients comprising 85 total knee arthroplasties 36 hip was prospectively evaluated between May 2015 June 2016 three different orthopaedic centres. tests were performed on...
Low haemoglobin (Hb) at admission has been identified as a risk factor for mortality elderly patients with hip fractures in some studies. However, this remains controversial. This study aims to analyze the association between Hb level and fracture undergoing surgery.All consecutive (prospective database) admitted operated tertiary hospital 2012 2016 were analyzed. We collected patient characteristics, time surgery, duration type of comorbidities, admission, nadir after use amount red blood...
Background and objectives Genicular nerve blockade (GNB) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) have recently emerged as treatment options for patients with chronic knee pain. However, an increasing number of anatomical studies systematic reviews concluded that the basis needle placement was unclear, incomplete somewhat inaccurate. This study designed to assess accuracy updated landmarks fluoroscopy-guided consistent genicular nerves in a cadaveric model. Methods Based on comprehensive review recent...
Background: Reconstruction of the pelvic arch after resection a malignant tumor remains major surgical challenge because high rate associated complications. The purpose this investigation was to assess functional outcome and complication following treatment with bone allograft reconstruct pelvis. Methods: Twenty-four consecutive patients underwent excision reconstruction allograft. living were followed for minimum twenty-four months. There nineteen primary tumors, sixteen which high-grade...
The lack of viability massive bone allografts for critical-size defect treatment remains a challenge in orthopedic surgery. literature has reviewed the advantages multi-combined with synergy an osteoconductive extracellular matrix (ECM), osteogenic stem cells, and growth factors (GFs). Questions are still open about need ECM components, influence decellularization process on latter, related potential loss function, necessity using pre-differentiated cells. In order to fill this gap,...
Classically recognized as the cutaneous stretch receptors associated with slowly adapting type II (SAII) primary afferents, Ruffini corpuscles have rarely been reported in skin, despite numerous histologic investigations. Electrophysiological recordings of afferents humans suggest that SAII fibers represent approximately 15% myelinated mechanosensitive axons peripheral nerves innervating volar surface hand. In present study, an analysis glabrous skin was conducted human donors to assess...
