Abstract The enhanced osteogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) modified by expression cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA4) has been shown in previous studies, but the mechanism remains unknown. Here we found that bone repair effect CTLA4 -modified MSCs demineralized matrix (DBM) a rabbit radius defect model was significantly better than observed for unmodified DBM or alone, and periostin (POSTN) higher both vivo vitro. In addition, also treatment with soluble POSTN could...

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel bone cement-injectable cannulated pedicle screw augmented with polymethylmethacrylate in osteoporotic spinal surgery.This study included 128 patients osteoporosis (BMD T-score -3.2±1.9; range, -5.4 to -2.5) who underwent decompression instrumentation polymethylmethacrylate-augmented screw. Postoperative Visual Analogue Scale scores Oswestry Disability Index were compared preoperative values. plain radiographs computed tomography (CT) scans...

Adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS) has become important causes disability elderly population owing changes spinal biomechanics, atrophy degeneration PVM, imbalance spine. Previously, many studies focused on physical evaluation PVM degeneration. However, molecular biological are still not completely known. In this study, we...

Use of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells (allo-MSCs) in bone tissue engineering strategies can overcome the limitations associated with autologous MSCs, but unfortunately, immunogenicity allo-MSCs leads to a high rate rejection, unless immunosuppressive agents are used. B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) is newly discovered immunoglobulin superfamily inhibitory receptor, Herpesvirus-entry mediator (HVEM), member tumor necrosis factor receptor family, only ligand BTLA. Both BTLA HVEM widely...

Abstract Background A considerable portion of the elderly population are increasingly afflicted by degenerative spinal deformity (DSD), which seriously affects patient health-related quality life (HRQoL). HRQoL index is used across many studies to show correlations between radio-graphical alignment, disability, and pain in patients with DSD. However, imaged structural represents only one aspect for consideration, namely, disability effect We assessed isokinetic strength trunk muscle...

Bone defects are a common orthopaedic concern, and an increasing number of tissue-engineered bones (TEBs) used to repair bone defects. Allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells (allo-MSCs) as seed in many approaches develop TEB constructs, but the immune response caused by allogeneic transplantation may lead transplant failure. V gamma 4 T (Vγ4T) play important role mediating early stage after transplantation; therefore, we wanted verify whether suppressing Vγ4T herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM)/B...

The challenge in developing tissue‐engineered bones (TEBs) for clinical applications lies the constraints associated with source and availability of autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from bone marrow, which creates a bottleneck. While allogeneic MSCs have shown promise TEB applications, their ability to promote growth is notably diminished because inflammatory reaction at transplant site inherent immune response triggered by MSCs. Hence, there pressing need develop methods...

BACKGROUND: The incidence rate of degenerative spinal deformity (DSD) has gradually increased in the elderly. Currently, relationship between functional status trunk muscle and spinal-pelvic parameters DSD patients remains unclear.
