    Abstract: The field of biomaterials has recently emerged to augment or replace lost or damaged tissues and organs due to the human body's limited ability to self-heal large defects. Historically, metallic components, polymers, ceramics, and composite materials were utilized as synthetic materials along with natural materials to assist in therapy. Various novel biomaterials were developed to respond to a significant amount of new medical challenges in the past decade. Therefore, there is a need to review these newly developed biomaterials and their potential to improve tissue repair and regeneration in a variety of applications. Here, we briefly review the different strategies and attempts to use novel biomaterials, including self-assembled and macromolecular biomaterials, hydrogels, metamaterials, decellularized tissues, and biomaterials obtained via synthetic biology, used either for tissue repair and regeneration or for therapeutic use by exploiting other mechanisms of healing. All these methods aim to create functional materials, devices, systems, and/or organisms with novel and useful functions on the basis of catalogued and standardized biological building blocks. This review details the various methods and introduces the applications of these biomaterials in tissue repair and regeneration, especially for bone, nerve, and skin applications.

    Abstract: The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of drug coated balloon-only strategy (DCB-only) in the treatment of de novo left main coronary artery (LM) bifurcation lesions. 85 patients were enrolled in this study and classified them into two groups: DCB-only group (n = 36) and DES group (n = 49). The MLD of target vessels was measured before and immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and late luminal loss (LLL) were also calculated. And the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) was also evaluated. Compared with that before PCI, the MLD of target lesions significantly increased immediately after PCI ( P  〈  .05) and no MACE was recorded during the perioperative period both in two groups. The MLD at follow-up was significantly higher than that before both DCB and DES treatment. Compared with the DES group, the MLD of the DCB group was smaller than immediately after PCI in the LM and LAD ( P  〈  .05). The LLL of LAD in DCB group was smaller than that in DES group ( P  〈  .05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of luminal restenosis at the target lesion between the two groups, and no significant difference in the incidence of MACE ( P  〉  .05). The use of DCB-only to treat de novo LM bifurcation lesions is effective and relatively safe, which provides new ideas for the treatment of LM coronary artery bifurcation lesions in the future.

    Abstract: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a severe and common degenerative disease; however, the exact pathology of OA is undefined. Our study is designed to investigate the underlying molecular mechanism of OA with bioinformatic tools. Design Three updated GEO datasets: GSE55235, GSE55457, and GSE82107 were selected for data analyzing. R software was utilized to screen and confirm the candidate differentially expressed genes in the development of OA. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway were performed to identify the enriched GO terms and signaling pathways. Protein and protein interaction (PPI) models were built to observe the connected relationship among each potential protein. Results A total of 113 upregulated genes and 161 downregulated genes were found by integrating 3 datasets. GO enrichment indicated that cell differentiation, cellular response to starvation, and negative regulation of phosphorylation were important biological processes. KEGG enrichment indicated that FoxO, IL-17 signaling pathways, and osteoclast differentiation mainly participated in the progression of OA. Combining the molecular function and PPI results, ubiquitylation was identified as a pivotal bioactive reaction involved in OA. Conclusion Our study provided updated candidate genes and pathways of OA, which may benefit further research and treatment for OA.

    Abstract: The optimal treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures remains challenging. Currently, there is no uniform method to treat such fractures. The purpose of this study was to compare the radiographic and clinical outcome of nonlocking plates and locking plates in the treatment of intraarticular calcaneal fractures. Methods: A retrospective comparative study was performed including 42 patients with intraarticular calcaneal fractures that were treated by nonlocking plate (n = 18) or locking plates (n = 24) between January 2010 and June 2012. Radiological and functional outcomes were compared between the 2 groups. Results: At the final follow-up, all fractures were healed, and the patients with a locking plate had a significantly better Bohler’s angle and Gissane’s angle compared with the nonlocking plate group ( P 〈 .05). No complications occurred for the patients in the locking plate group, and 3 patients in the nonlocking plate group had implant loosening that led to loss of reduction ( P 〈 .05). The average American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society hindfoot score in the locking plate group was significantly higher than that in the nonlocking plate group ( P 〈 .05). No statistically significant difference between the 2 groups was found regarding SF-36 ( P 〉 .05). Conclusion: This study supports the view that locking plates may provide better stability and functional recovery in the treatment of intraarticular calcaneal fractures. Level of Evidence: Level III, comparative case series.

    Abstract: Bilateral arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) is frequently performed in patients with symptomatic bilateral rotator cuff tears. Purpose: To compare patient-reported outcomes and mobility between simultaneous and staged bilateral ARCR. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Included were 51 patients who underwent simultaneous (anesthetized once) and 42 patients who underwent staged (anesthetized twice) bilateral ARCR between January 2014 and January 2018; for the staged group, the interval between procedures was at least 12 months. All operations were performed by the same surgeon, and all patients had minimum 24-month follow up in both shoulders. Patient-reported outcomes and range of motion (ROM) were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively and compared between groups. Outcome measures included the Constant-Murley score (CMS) and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score as well as measures of psychological status, health-related quality of life, activities of daily living (ADL), and patient satisfaction with the state of one’s shoulders. Results: The mean follow-up times for the staged and simultaneous ARCR groups were 44.1 months (range, 36-60 months) and 37.5 months (range, 25-59 months), respectively. There were no significant differences in age, tear size, or fatty degeneration of rotator cuff muscles between the groups. The cumulative length of hospital stay in the staged group was significantly longer than in the simultaneous group ( P 〈 .001). At the final follow-up, both groups showed significant improvement in ROM, CMS, and ASES scores ( P 〈 .05). No significant differences between the groups were observed in terms of ROM, CMS, and ASES scores postoperatively. At 24 months postoperatively, psychological status and health-related quality of life in both groups improved significantly ( P 〈 .05), and there were no significant between-group differences. Patients were able to perform most essential ADL. Both groups had high patient satisfaction, but patient satisfaction for the second shoulder of the staged group was lower than that of the simultaneous group ( P = .039). Conclusion: Simultaneous bilateral ARCR was shown to be effective, resulting in similar improvements in clinical outcomes to staged bilateral ARCR at 2-year follow-up. In addition to higher patient satisfaction, simultaneous bilateral ARCR also had a shorter treatment cycle.

    Abstract: To introduce the intraoperative O-arm-assisted pedicle screw insertion without any navigation system in the treatment of thoracic vertebrae fracture and compare it to conventional fluoroscopy (C-arm)-assisted pedicle screw insertion technique. Methods: About 156 pedicle screws were inserted in 23 patients (C-arm group), and 208 pedicle screws were inserted in 30 patients (O-arm group). The postoperative computed tomography images were analyzed for pedicle violation based on Gertzbein classification. The total surgery time, the average time required for inserting a screw, the mean action times of adjusting guide probe and pedicle screw, and the hospitalization time were compared in both groups, respectively. The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) was used for evaluating the health outcomes pre- and postoperatively. Results: There are the higher accuracy rate of satisfactory pedicle screw placement (grades 0 and 1) and the less incidence of medial perforation in the O-arm group compared to the C-arm group ( p 〈 0.05). The average time required for inserting a screw, the action times of adjusting the guide probe and pedicle screw, and the hospitalization time in the O-arm group are less than the respective ones in the C-arm group ( p 〈 0.05). There was no significant difference for the total surgery time between both groups. No further damage of the nerve function postoperatively is found according to the ASIA grade. Conclusion: The O-arm-assisted pedicle screw insertion without navigation we described provides higher accuracy of pedicle screw placement and better clinical efficacy compared to conventional fluoroscopy (C-arm) technique.

    Abstract: The retrospective study was conducted to compare the efficacy of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF) for localized ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) by evaluating clinical and radiologic outcomes. Methods We reviewed 151 patients to assess the effects of treatment for one or two levels localized OPLL. Perioperative parameters, such as blood loss, operation time and complications, were recorded. Radiologic outcomes, such as the occupying ratio (OR), fusion status, cervical lordosis angle, segmental angle, disc space height, T1 slope, and C2–C7 sagittal vertical axis (SVA), were assessed. Clinical indices, such as the JOA scores and VAS scores, were investigated to compare the two surgical options. Results There were no significant differences in the JOA scores or VAS scores between the two groups ( p 〉 0.05). The operation time, volume of blood loss and incidence of dysphagia were significantly less in the ACDF group than in the ACCF group ( p 〈 0.05). In addition, cervical lordosis, segmental angle and disc space height were significantly different from their preoperative evaluations. No adjacent segment degenerated in the ACDF group. The subsidence rates of implants were 5.2% in the ACDF group and 28.4% in the ACCF group. The degeneration of the ACCF group was 4.1%. The incidence of CSF leaks was 7.8% in the ACDF group and 13.5% in the ACCF group. All the patients ultimately achieved successful fusion. Conclusion Although both options achieved satisfactory primary clinical and radiographic efficacies, ACDF was associated with a shorter surgical procedure, less intraoperative blood loss, better radiologic outcomes, and lower incidence of dysphagia than ACCF.

    Abstract: Preoperative identification of intramuscular hemangioma (IMH) subtypes (capillary hemangioma, cavernous hemangioma, and mixed hemangioma) is urgently necessary. Enhanced T2*-weighted angiography (ESWAN) is sensitive to vessels and metabolites and can be used to diagnose IMH subtypes. Purpose To compare the diagnostic performances of ESWAN and conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for qualitative and quantitative diagnosis of IMH subtypes. Material and Methods In total, 23 patients with IMHs were examined using conventional MRI and ESWAN. The signal intensity ratios (SIRs) of conventional MRI and ESWAN were measured. Results There was no significant difference for volume among the three subtypes ( P = 0.124, P = 0.145). Various shapes and MRI signals were shown in the three subtypes of IMH. There was no significant difference for SIRs of conventional MRI ( P = 0.558, P = 0.259, P = 0.385, P = 0.347). However, there was a significant difference for SIRs of ESWAN parameters ( P = 0.050, P  〈  0.001, P = 0.005, P = 0.002). Capillary hemangiomas can be diagnosed when R2* SIR is 〈 0.912 and intratumoral susceptibility signal (ITSS) percentage is 〈 29.085%. Cavernous hemangiomas should be considered when R2* SIR is 〉 0.912, ITSS percentage 〉 35.226%, and phase SIR 〉 2.536. In addition, mixed hemangiomas should be considered when T2* SIR is 〉 0.662 and R2* SIR 〈 1.618. Conclusion Conventional MRI can only display the volume, shape, and signal of IMHs. 3D-MinIP imaging of ESWAN can show the veins and minor hemorrhage. SIRs of ESWAN parameters including T2* value, R2* value, phase value, and percentage of ITSS can be used to quantitatively diagnose capillary hemangiomas, cavernous hemangiomas, and mixed hemangiomas.

    Abstract: Osteoporotic vertebral biconcave-shaped fractures are not commonly seen in clinical practice. Some articles have been published showing the outcome of vertebroplasty (PV) and balloon kyphoplasty (BKP), but few comparative studies have been performed. Purpose To compare the effect and safety of PV and BKP in treating osteoporotic vertebral biconcave-shaped fractures. Material and Methods In this retrospective comparative study, 38 patients with osteoporotic vertebral biconcave-shaped fractures were treated by PV, and 41 patients were treated by BKP from May 2005 to July 2011. The heights of the compromised vertebral body and the kyphotic angles were measured. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were used to evaluate pain and functional activity, respectively. The occurrence of refracture and cement leakage were determined, and the costs were recorded. Results The mean VAS and ODI scores significantly improved for both procedures at postsurgical measurements ( P  〈  0.05), and the improvement sustained at the final follow-up. In both groups, there were no significant differences in terms of restoration of the anterior vertebral height and correction of the kyphotic deformity. However, BKP was more effective in restoring the middle vertebral height than PV. Cement leakages were observed in nine (23.7%) treated vertebral bodies in PV group and in three (7.4%) treated vertebral bodies in BKP group, which was a statistically significant difference ( P  〈  0.05). There were four new osteoporotic vertebral fractures in the PV group and two in the BKP group during the follow-up period. The mean cost in the BKP group (6200 ± 122.1 USD) was higher than the PV group (2100 ± 112.5 USD) ( P  〈  0.05). Conclusion Both PV and BKP achieved similar improvements in pain and functional outcomes for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral biconcave-shaped fractures. BKP had a significant advantage over PV in terms of the restoration of the middle vertebral height and fewer cement leakages than PV.

    Abstract: Kyphoplasty has been demonstrated to be minimally invasive and effective in treating osteoporotic vertebral fracture patients with back pain over the level of the fractured vertebrae. Rare studies have reported on thoracolumbar vertebral fracture patients presenting with distal lumbosacral pain (DLP). Whether kyphoplasty had a favorable therapeutic benefit for these patients remains unclear. Purpose To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of kyphoplasty in treating osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fracture (OTVF) patients with DLP and assess the clinical significance of focal tenderness to palpation in these patients. Material and Methods Thirty-two OTVF patients who only complained of DLP were treated by kyphoplasty. The vertebral heights, local kyphotic angle, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores were assessed preoperatively, one day after surgery, and at last follow-up. All patients were evaluated regarding their degree of satisfaction with kyphoplasty. In addition, we compared the therapeutic efficacy of kyphoplasty in patients with and without focal tenderness to palpation. Results All patients successfully underwent kyphoplasty without complications. The vertebral heights, local kyphotic angles, VAS, and ODI scores were all significantly improved after kyphoplasty and maintained at last follow-up in our patients ( P  〈  0.001). At last follow-up, all patients expressed satisfaction with kyphoplasty. No significant differences in these parameters were detected between patients with and without focal tenderness. Conclusion The possibility of thoracolumbar vertebral fractures in elderly patients complaining of DLP should not be neglected. Kyphoplasty presents a superior benefit in treating OTVF patients with DLP. The absence of focal tenderness does not influence the clinical efficacy in these patients.
