Background: Adiposity is closely related to osteoarthritis, but the causal effects of different types adiposity on osteoarthritis are indistinct. This study conducted a Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis for general and abdominal knee (KOA) hip (HOA). Methods: The was assessed by body mass index (BMI), while evaluated with waist circumference (WC), (HC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). data used in this two-sample MR originated from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Significant (p < 5...
Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators in various physiological and pathological processes via post‐transcriptional regulation of gene expression. The honey bee ( Apis mellifera ) is a model for highly social species, its complex behaviour can be interpreted theoretically as changes regulation, which miRNAs thought to involved. We used the SOLiD sequencing system identify repertoire by mixed small RNA library from different developmental stages. obtained total 36 796 459 raw...
ObjectivesPreoperative diagnosis is important for patients who need revision surgery due to PJI. Microbial culture plays an role in PJI diagnosis, but the sensitivity of cultures low when sample amount limited or a patient treated with antibiotics before collection. In this study, metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) was used detect bacteria preoperative puncture synovial fluid samples from suspected PJI, and intraoperative results were compared estimate its diagnostic...

Magnesium (Mg)-based conduits have gained more attention in repairing peripheral nerve defects. However, they are limited due to poor corrosion resistance and rapid degradation rate. To tackle this issue, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF)- Gelatin methacryloyl (Gel)/hydroxylapatite (HA)-Mg conduit was developed implanted sciatic defect model Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. The functional index measurement showed that the GDNF-Gel/HA-Mg effectively promoted recovery of function....
Orthopedic implants with high elastic modulus often suffer from poor osseointegration due to stress shielding, a phenomenon that suppresses the expression of intracellular mechanotransduction molecules (IMM) such as focal adhesion kinase (FAK). We find reduced FAK under shielding is also mediated by decreased calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) released Piezo2+ mechanosensitive nerves surrounding implant. To activate these minimally invasively, we develop fully implantable, wirelessly...
