Conclusions  These results suggested that in cells derived from OA chondrocytes different mechanisms of regulation exist between mPGES-1 and COX-2, and the expression of mPGES-1 was, at least partially, regulated through the autocrine positive feedback by PGE2.

Conclusions  Early surgery was useful for improving mobility, but it showed a higher mortality rate in patients with a compromised somatic condition at the time of the injury.

Abstract Background  The treatment of chronically infected tibial pseudarthroses with poor soft tissues ends with amputation on many occasions. Aggressive débridement of bone and soft tissue and reconstruction of the extremity, performed as a limb salvage procedure, is an alternative treatment option to amputation. Methods  Our patients had a mean age of 42 years. According to the Paley classification, one of the patients had A2 pseudoarthrosis, four had B2, and three had B3. One had localized infection, whereas the other seven had diffuse infection, according to the Cierny-Mader system. Th...

Conclusions  Our study proved the high accuracy of the navigation device concerning the most important biomechanical factor: the varus-valgus angle.

Conclusions  10-6 M Raloxifene had no ossification-inducing effect on female MSCs, but it had an ossification-promoting effect; it had no osteogenic effect on male MSCs. Therefore, raloxifene has a sex difference with regard to its osteogenic effect on MSCs. Moreover, combined treatment with raloxifene plus OS has an effect on female MSCs. These results provide a useful insight into the possible influence of raloxifene after MSC transplantation in clinical practice.

Conclusions  In this study of the Japanese population, 11 of 52 (21%) patients with acute cervical spinal cord injury had DVT. Several studies showed there were no differences in the incidence of DVT between patients with complete or incomplete palsy, and our study showed the same results. Many asymptomatic patients had DVT, so asymptomatic patients should not be neglected.

Conclusions  Development of postoperative malalignment of the lower cervical spine and impaired growth of the spinal canal at C1 and C2 levels are common after atlantoaxial arthrodesis in children. Postoperative malalignment diminishes during the follow-up period possibly due to remodeling of the pediatric cervical spine, although remodeling of the spinal canal diameter cannot be expected, suggesting the importance of anatomical reduction before or at the time of surgery.

Conclusions  Narrowing of conduction pathway due to the decrease in the contour of fracture area accompanying bone remodeling resulted in an increase of Z values. Both Z values and Bmax in group F reached a peak at 5 weeks, this was believed to be the optimal time for removal of external fixation. These results suggest that measurement of Z values makes it possible to evaluate bone union.
