We evaluated the chondroprotective effects of wogonin by investigating its on gene expression and production matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) in primary cultured rabbit articular chondrocytes, as well MMP-3 rat knee. Rabbit chondrocytes were a monolayer, RT-PCR was used to measure interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced MMP-3, MMP-1, MMP-13, disintegrin metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-4 (ADAMTS-4), type II collagen. In IL-1β-induced proteolytic activity investigated using western blot...

Spinal-pelvic parameters are utilized in orthopedics for assessing patients' curvature and body alignment diagnosing, treating, planning surgeries spinal pelvic disorders. Segmenting autodetecting the whole spine from lateral radiographs is challenging. Recent efforts have employed deep learning techniques to automate segmentation analysis of whole-spine radiographs. This study aims develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based approach automated segmentation, alignment, measurement...

We investigated whether prunetin affects the proteolytic activity, secretion, and gene expression of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) in primary cultured rabbit articular chondrocytes, as well vivo production MMP-3 rat knee joint to evaluate potential chondroprotective eff ect prunetin. Rabbit chondrocytes were a monolayer, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used measure interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced MMP-3, MMP-1, MMP-13, disintegrin metalloproteinase with...

Age-related rotator cuff tendon degeneration is related to tenofibroblast apoptosis. Anthocyanins reduce oxidative stress-induced apoptotic cell death in tenofibroblasts. The current study investigated the presence of protective effects cyanidin and delphinidin, most common aglycon forms anthocyanins. We determined whether these anthocyanidins have antiapoptotic antinecrotic tenofibroblasts exposed H2O2, evaluated their biomolecular mechanisms. Both delphinidin inhibited H2O2-induced...

A glomus tumor is a rare, benign with atypical clinical symptoms. Because of its small size, it difficult to diagnose and treat early; therefore, leads poor quality life. Glomus tumors are known commonly affect the hand rarely manifest in other areas. they simulate neuromas, hemangiomas, neurofibromatosis, differential diagnosis difficult. We performed marginal resection solitary forearm mass previously suspected be hemangioma or on basis ultrasound findings histologically diagnosed...

Upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders (UEMDs), such as rotator cuff tear, epicondylitis, and hand osteoarthritis, have a negative impact on quality of life (QOL). In this study, we evaluated the prevalence lateral medial osteoarthritis in dominant side these UEMDs disabilities arm, shoulder, (DASH) outcome measure, which assesses upper extremity-related QOL. 2013-2015, 987 participants from rural areas completed questionnaire underwent physical examinations, laboratory tests, simple...

Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) are a human health hazard. OPs inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) at nerve endings and accumulate acetylcholine (ACh) these sites. High levels of ACh long exposure promote cholinergic crisis. The hydrolysis by serum paraoxonase 1 (PON1) plays role in crisis humans. Human PON1 can break down organophosphate before binding to ChE. We investigated the effect polymorphisms on AChE activity after OP treatment.50 healthy volunteers were randomly recruited with...

Abstract Factors related to developing postoperative ileus (POI) vary from pharmacologic, inflammatory, hormonal, metabolic, gastrointestinal physiology, neurologic, psychological factors. Although orthopedic-related incidence of is about 10%, these studies are limited spine surgery and pelvic surgery. The purpose this study was investigate prevalence POI analyze effect chewing gum on bowel function in elderly patients after hip fracture A prospective randomized controlled trial conducted at...

Purpose:The object of this study was to determine the shortest possible distances antero-medial (AM) and postero-lateral (PL) guide wire tunnel positions required prevent femoral bone communication in double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using human cadaver knees.Materials Methods: The centers AM PL bundles 16 cadaveric knees were drilled with wires wires, measured upon entrance into bone.Femoral drilling performed transportal technique.The diameters graft 8 mm 6 mm,...

BACKGROUND Femoral neck stress fractures (FNSFs) are commonly found in long-distance running athletes. For FNSFs, early diagnosis and proper treatment important. The objective of this study was to report FNSFs that occurred after excessive exercise using trampoline middle-aged women. CASE SUMMARY patient a 43-year-old woman who exercised jumping on for 6 wk 1-3 h day diet. Exercise includes repeated flexion-extension the hip joint. admitted hospital due sudden bilateral groin pain suddenly...

Fibrous dysplasia is one of many well-known disorders in which there a defect the remodeling process immature bone to mature into lamellar bone, and it often exists metaphyseal diaphyseal parts long bone. In this report, we describe rare case where fibrous was found only proximal part epiphysis tibia without other bony lesions.A 14-year-old Asian girl referred our hospital after slipping down with pain on left knee. A radiograph showed an abnormal finding central radiolucent lesion marginal...

원위 요골 골절은 가장 흔한 골절 중 하나로 고령 인구 중에서는 고관절 다음으로 두 번째로 골절에 속한다. 인 구에서 골다공증성 골절로 대부분 넘어져서 발 생하거나 낮은 높이에서의 낙상으로 인한 저 에너지 손상이 주를 이루며, 이와는 대조적으로 젊은 연령에서는 스포츠손상, 교통사 고, 높은 곳에서의 낙상과 같은 고 기전으로 모든 연령에서 빈도가 골절임에도 불구하고 치료 후 발생 가 능한 합병증에 관한 연구는 많지 않다. 골절을 부목 고정을 통해 보존적으로 치료할 때에는 정복의 실패로 부정 유합, 건 파열, 손목 관절 강직이 흔하며, 수장 잠김 금속판을 이 용해 수술적으로 고정 나사못의 내 돌 출, 금속판 및 동요 유실, 수술 부위의 감염, pISSN : 1226-2102, eISSN 2005-8918 299

We introduce a case of traumatic dislocation the posterior tibial tendon with avulsion fracture medial malleolus in 52-year-old female patient who was treated surgically periosteal flap and suture anchor fixation. Based posteromedial ridge distal tibia, quadrilateral created folded over tendon, followed by fixation on lateral aspect groove use multiple anchors. Clinical radiological findings 25 months postoperatively showed well-preserved function ankle joint stable gliding.

The purpose of this study was to determine the significance hinge position through comparison between open-wedge and closed-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) ideal minimize effect HTO on posterior slope (PTS) medial proximal angle (MPTA).Procedures were performed 32 cadaveric knees using with standard or a low position. To define in open wedge HTO, we drew line 3-cm inferior plateau toward fibular head located intersection longitudinal 1-cm shaft. then defined as point For for parallel joint...
