Methods
The related domestic and foreign literature about the role of periosteum in distraction osteogenesis in recent years was extensively reviewed, summarized, and the mechanism and influencing factors of periosteum during traction and osteogenesis were analyzed.
Results
The periosteum is rich in all kinds of cells (mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts, etc.), microvessel and various growth factors, which are necessary for the formation of new bone. It can promote the formation of new bone in the process of traction osteogenesis significantly.
Conclusion
The periosteum plays an important role in the progress of distraction osteogenesis.
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is one of the common degenerative joint diseases, which is more common in the middle-aged and elderly population. It shows significant gender differences, with a significantly higher incidence rate in women than in men, seriously affecting the quality of life of patients. However, there are few research reports on the correlation between gender differences and the incidence of KOA both domestically and internationally. Therefore, this article will summarize and analyze the potential causes of gender differences related to the incidence of KOA from five aspects: hormone levels, anatomical biomechanical characteristics, genes, obesity, and exercise-muscle factors. Through a comprehensive review of research progress, the aim is to provide a theoretical basis for gender based personalized treatment of KOA in clinical practice.
Objective
To analyze the progress of evaluation indexes for enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) model at home and abroad, and to propose suggestions for constructing systematic evaluation model of ERAS.
Methods
Atfirst checked the Chinese and English databases, including Medline, Embase, Sciencedirect, ACP Journal Club, BioMed Central, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Science Citation Index Expanded, Cochrane Library, NHS Economic Evaluation Database, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang databases (retrieval time was from January 1997 to December 2017), and then filtered the literatures, excluded duplicate documents, a total of 1 020 English literatures and 786 Chinese literatures were enrolled eventually to make an review.
Results
The literatures showed that, at present, there was no comprehensive and systematic evaluation index system about ERAS at home and abroad. The existing evaluation indexes mainly included the following deficiencies: localization and fragmentation of evaluation indicators, lack of evaluation indicators of ERAS organizational framework and process management, as well as lack of standardized operational definition of evaluation indicators.
Conclusions
The evaluation indexes of ERAS at home and abroad do not constitute a systematic evaluation index system according to scientific principles, which will restrict the standardization of accelerated surgical rehabilitation in our country. To establish a multidimensional and comprehensive quality evaluation index system based on multi-evaluation of hospital, patient, social, and medical management institutions, which covers ERAS organizational structure, process management, and clinical outcomes, is a necessary condition for the development of ERAS model.
Objective To review the literature reports on research progress of Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) modified mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Methods The significance, effects, and related mechanism of HO-1 modification of MSCs were summarized by consulting the related literatures and reports of HO-1 modification of MSCs. Results HO-1 modification of MSCs has important research value. It can effectively enhance the anti-oxidative stress and anti-apoptotic properties of MSCs in complex internal environment after transplantation into vivo. It can also effectively enhance the immune regulation function of MSCs. It can improve the anti-injury, repair, and immune regulation effect of MSCs in various disease models and research fields. Conclusion The basic research of HO-1 modified MSCs has made remarkable progress, which is expected to be applied in clinical trials and provide theoretical basis and reference value for stem cell therapy.
ObjectiveTo summarize the research progress of ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in normal-sized lymph node metastasis of colorectal cancer.MethodThe relevant literatures published recently at domestic and abroad about USPIO enhanced MRI in normal-sized lymph node metastasis of colorectal cancer were collected and reviewed.ResultsUSPIO, a kind of lymph node targeted magnetic resonance contrast agent, could be used to evaluate lymph node metastasis of malignant tumors. USPIO enhanced MRI could detect normal-sized lymph node metastasis in colorectal cancer effectively compared with normal MRI. It provided a higher diagnostic performance than normal enhanced MRI. In addition, USPIO enhanced MRI could also distinguish inflammatory and metastatic lymph nodes better that were difficult to be distinguished by normal enhanced MRI.ConclusionUSPIO enhanced MRI shows a certain potential for clinical application in detecting normal-sized lymph node metastasis of colorectal cancer, but it has not been widely used in China.
During the past decades, the field of hip preservation in China has achieved great improvements. Theoretically, the blood supply of the femoral head and the acetabulum along with the mechanism of early-stage hip osteoarthritis has been gradually cleared. The knowledge and application of the periacetabular osteotomy, surgical hip dislocation, and hip arthroscopy has been vigorously promoted. Improved understanding of the mechanism, pathology, and prevention protocols of the secondary hip dysplasia have been obtained, despite the fact that lack of awareness of some mechanism and detail, for example, hip instability or borderline dysplasia, etc. On the basis of summing up those clinical progress, this article further elaborated the historical development of hip preservation through the review of several traditional treatment, and made objective assessment about the follow-up, evaluation, minimally invasive surgery, and individualized treatment newly reported.
Pelvic fractures are often caused by high-energy trauma. The condition of patients is complex and requires active therapy. The treatment of pelvic fractures includes conservative and surgical treatment. Surgical treatment is suitable for patients with unstable pelvic fractures. In recent years,the anterior subcutaneous internal fixator (INFIX) for the treatment of unstable pelvic fractures has been popularized and achieved extraordinary outcomes. INFIX is a relatively novel technology for the treatment of anterior pelvic ring fractures. It has excellent biomechanical properties, a wide range of indications, and has the advantages of minimally invasive, convenient care, fewer complications, and better clinical outcomes. If patients with anterior pelvic ring fractures have the indications for INFIX after careful evaluation, INFIX is recommended. This article summarizes the research progress of INFIX in the treatment of anterior pelvic ring fractures, and summarizes its surgical methods, biomechanical properties, indications, advantages, complications and clinical outcomes.
Objective To summarize the research status and prospect of immunotherapy for biliary tract cancer (BTC). Method The literatures about immunotherapy of BTC at home and abroad in recent years were reviewed. Results Surgical resection was still the first choice and only radical treatment for BTC. However, the recurrence rate of BTC was high, and most of the patients were in the middle and late stage with metastasis and lose the opportunity of operation. Patients with local progression, metastasis or recurrence could only receive chemotherapy and other comprehensive treatment, but they could not get satisfactory results. The continuous update of targeted drugs brings new hope for drug therapy of BTC, and immunotherapy had become a new treatment of tumor targeted therapy following radiotherapy and chemotherapy. ConclusionImmunotherapy can be used as an option for the treatment of advanced BTC and its postoperative recurrence and metastasis, and has attracted more and more attention.
ObjectiveTo review the research progress of three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology for wound dressing design and preparation. Methods The literature on 3D bioprinted wound dressings in recent years, both domestically and internationally, was retrieved. The core principles of 3D bioprinting technology, mainstream methods, and their applications in wound dressings design and preparation were summarized. Results By leveraging precise spatial manipulation capabilities and multi-material integration, 3D bioprinting technology constructs the functionalized wound dressings with complex structures and bioactivity. These dressings primarily function across several dimensions: wound hemostasis, infection control, controlled drug release, and monitoring wound healing. Conclusion Although 3D bioprinted wound dressings can promote wound healing through multiple dimensions, large-scale clinical validation is still lacking. Future efforts should further clarify their clinical value and scope of application to provide more efficient, precise, and patient-comfortable treatment options for refractory wounds.
