Regulation of prostaglandin E2 synthesis in cells derived from chondrocytes of patients with osteoarthritisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
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. For independent patients with a stabilized somatic condition, surgery should be performed within 24 h.

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. The software calculation of the proposed implant position has been shown to be inaccurate and needs improvement.

Raloxifene: its ossification-promoting effect on female mesenchymal stem cellsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
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 The early results and the wide indication encourage us to apply the MIS approach instead of the conventional technique.

Long-term impact of atlantoaxial arthrodesis on the pediatric cervical spineEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
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.

Measurement of bone electrical impedance in fracture healingEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
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.
