    Abstract Objective: This study aims to analyze the biomechanical characteristics of tile B2 pelvic fractures using finite element analysis when the superior ramus of the pubis was fixed by a plate or hollow screws in standing and sitting positions, respectively. Methods: A three-dimensional digital model of the tile B2 pelvic fracture was obtained by CT scanning the patient. The main ligament structure was then reconstructed based on the anatomical characteristics to create a finite element model of the tile B2 pelvic fracture. The posterior pelvic ring was fixed by sacroiliac joint screws, while the anterior ring injury of the superior ramus of the pubis was fixed by plates and hollow compression screws, respectively. The degrees of freedom of the bilateral acetabulum or two sides of the ischial tuberosity were constrained in the two models. A vertical load of 600 N was applied to the upper surface of the sacrum to measure the displacement and stress distribution of the pelvis in the standing and sitting positions. Results: The displacement distribution of both the healthy and the affected side of the pelvis was relatively uniform in both the plate group and the hollow screw group according to the finite element simulation results. The maximum displacement value in the sitting position was greater than the standing position, and the maximum displacement value of the hollow screw fixation was greater than that of the plate fixation. In the four groups of fixation models, the maximum displacement value of the pelvis in the hollow screw sitting position group was 1616.80 × 10 −3 mm, which was greater than that of the other three groups, and in this group the total displacement value of the hollow screw in the anterior ring was 556.31 × 10 −3 mm. The stress distribution of the pelvis in the various models was similar in the four groups of models, in which the maximum stress of the pelvis in the hollow screw sitting position group was the largest, which was 201.33 MPa, while the maximum stress in the standing position was ...

    Abstract Excess osteoclast activity is found in many bone metabolic diseases, and inhibiting osteoclast differentiation has proven to be an effective strategy. Here, we revealed that osteoclast precursors (pre-OCs) were more susceptible to thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1) inhibitors than bone marrow-derived monocytes (BMDMs) during receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL)-mediated osteoclastogenesis. Mechanistically, we found that nuclear factor of activated T-cells 1 (NFATc1) upregulated solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) expression through transcriptional regulation during RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. During TXNRD1 inhibition, the rate of intracellular disulfide reduction is significantly reduced. Increased cystine transport leads to increased cystine accumulation, which leads to increased cellular disulfide stress and disulfidptosis. We further demonstrated that SLC7A11 inhibitors and treatments that prevent disulphide accumulation could rescue this type of cell death, but not the ferroptosis inhibitors (DFO, Ferro-1), the ROS scavengers (Trolox, Tempol), the apoptosis inhibitor (Z-VAD), the necroptosis inhibitor (Nec-1), or the autophagy inhibitor (CQ). An in vivo study indicated that TXNRD1 inhibitors increased bone cystine content, reduced the number of osteoclasts, and alleviated bone loss in an ovariectomized (OVX) mouse model. Together, our findings demonstrate that NFATc1-mediated upregulation of SLC7A11 induces targetable metabolic sensitivity to TXNRD1 inhibitors during osteoclast differentiation. Moreover, we innovatively suggest that TXNRD1 inhibitors, a classic drug for osteoclast-related diseases, selectively kill pre-OCs by inducing intracellular cystine accumulation and subsequent disulfidptosis.

    Abstract Achilles tendon rupture prognosis is usually unsatisfactory. After the tendon is injured, it may not function properly because of the fibrotic healing response, which restrains tendon motion. Inflammatory monocytes and tissue-resident macrophages are indispensable regulators in tissue repair, fibrosis, and regeneration. Exosomes from macrophages are crucial factors in tissue microenvironment regulation following tissue injury. This study therefore aimed to clarify the roles of macrophage exosomes in tendon injury (TI) repair. The results show that macrophages play a role after TI. M1 macrophages were increased relative to peritendinous fibrosis after TI. High-throughput sequencing showed abnormal expression of circular RNAs (circRNAs) between exosomes from M2 and M0 macrophages. Among the abnormal expressions of circRNA, circRNA-Ep400 was significantly increased in M2 macrophage exosomes. The results also show that M2 macrophage-derived circRNA-Ep400-containing exosomes are important for promoting peritendinous fibrosis after TI. Bioinformatics and dual-luciferase reporting experiments confirmed that miR-15b-5p and fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-1/7/9 were downstream targets of circRNA-Ep400. High circRNA-Ep400-containing exosome treatment inhibited miR-15b-5p, but promoted FGF1/7/9 expression in both fibroblasts and tenocytes. Furthermore, high circRNA-Ep400-containing exosome treatment promoted fibrosis, proliferation, and migration in both fibroblasts and tenocytes. Taken together, the results show that M2 macrophage-derived circRNA-Ep400-containing exosomes promote peritendinous fibrosis after TI via the miR-15b-5p/FGF-1/7/9 pathway, which suggests novel therapeutics for tendon injury treatment.

    Abstract Increasing evidence suggests that smoking may increase the incidence of prosthesis-related complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA). We performed a meta-analysis of cohort studies to quantitatively evaluate the association between smoking and the risk of prosthesis-related complications after THA.Relevant articles published before August 15, 2014, were identified by searching the PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane library databases. Pooled risk ratios (RRs) or weighted mean differences (WMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated with either a fixed- or random-effects model.Six cohort studies, involving a total of 8181 participants, were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with the patients who never smoked, smokers had a significantly increased risk of aseptic loosening of prosthesis (summary RR=3.05, 95% CI: 1.42-6.58), deep infection (summary RR=3.71, 95% CI: 1.86-7.41) and all-cause revisions (summary RR=2.58, 95% CI: 1.27-5.22). However, no significant difference in the risk of implant dislocation (summary RR= 1.27, 95% CI: 0.77-2.10) or length of hospital stay (WMD=0.03, 95% CI: -0.65-0.72) was found between smokers and nonsmokers.Smoking is associated with a significantly increased risk of aseptic loosening of prosthesis, deep infection and all-cause revisions after THA, but smoking is not correlated with a risk of implant dislocation or the length of hospital stay after surgery.

    Abstract Several studies investigated the association between bisphosphonate use and the risk of implant revision after total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA or TKA); However, the findings were inconsistent. We performed this meta-analysis to evaluate the overall relative risk of such an event.We searched the PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane library databases to identify relevant publications on April 22, 2015. To calculate the pooled risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidential intervals (CIs), a fixed- or random-effects model was applied based on the heterogeneity across studies.Three cohort studies and one case-control study were included in this meta-analysis. Compared with the bisphosphonate nonusers, the patients who used bisphosphonates for a long period of time had a significantly decreased risk of implant revision after THA/TKA (summary adjusted RR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.38-0.61), and the summary adjusted RRs for the users who underwent THA and those who underwent TKA were 0.47 (95% CI: 0.36-0.61) and 0.45 (95% CI: 0.21-0.95), respectively.Long-term use of bisphosphonates is correlated with a significantly decreased risk of implant revision after THA/TKA. However, due to limited number of the included studies, the findings of the present study should be treated with caution. More well-designed studies are required to further confirm our findings.

    Abstract Background: Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is a common type of soft tissue sarcoma and a serious threat to human health. MFH often relapses locally after the curettage is related to the residual cancer stem cells (CSCs). Currently, the dysregulation of microRNA (miRNA) has been found to be closely related to the recurrence of CSCs. However, whether dysregulations of miRNAs exist in MFH, CSCs remained unknown.Methods: In this study, miRNAs in MFH CSCs and MFH common cells were examined by gene probe. Then, target genes and their functions involved in the signal pathway were predicted by the relevant database. Finally, the miRNAs’ target regulatory network was constructed. Furthermore, the miRNAs and target genes were identified by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, whereas miRNA analogs and antagonists were transfected in tumor cells to investigate cell proliferation ability further.Results: Results showed that a total of 47 miRNAs were found, including 16 that were upregulated and 31 that were downregulated. The screened differential miRNA showed a different expression in the cell resistant strains compared with the control group. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis confirmed that the relative abundance of seven miRNAs and four target genes varied significantly. The encouraging issue is that we found Hsa-miR-206 significantly inhibited MFH proliferative activity.Conclusion: Hsa-miR-206 played a key role in regulating MFH CSC properties that might be a representative marker and target for the diagnosis and treatment of MFH in the future.

    Abstract Aging drives the accumulation of senescent cells (SnCs) by secreting factors that cause the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), including stem cells in the bone marrow, which contribute to aging-related bone degradation. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a serious chronic injury disease, and increasing age is a major risk factor. The accumulation of SnCs may accelerate the development of OA, and the accumulation of SnCs may benefit from its resistance to apoptotic stimuli. Therefore, local elimination of SnCs could be a promising treatment for OA. Apoptosis inhibitor protein (IAP) is an important antiapoptotic protein in vivo. AT-406 is a small molecule inhibitor of the IAP genes and also regulates the transcription of several genes. Here, we show that SnCs upregulate the antiapoptotic proteins c-IAP1, c-IAP2 and XIAP.The combined inhibition of c-IAP1, c-IAP2 and XIAP using siRNA or AT-406 specifically induce the apoptosis of SnCs.In addition, XIAP and STX17 bind to each other to regulate the fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes in SnCs, which in turn, affects the fate of SnCs. It is worth noting that the clearance of SnCs attenuated the secretion of SASP and created a proregenerative environment. Most importantly, local clearance of SnCs significantly attenuated the progression of osteoarthritis in rats without significant toxic effects. Thus, local elimination of SnCs may be a potential treatment for OA. This is the first report of inhibition of IAPs for clearing SnCs and suggests that eradication of SnCs may be a new strategy for the treatment of age-related diseases.
