    Abstract Introduction The idea of an uncemented, fully coated hydroxyapatite (HA) stem was introduced almost 40 years ago, aiming to achieve a solid biological fixation by preserving natural bone activity. While many studies underline the longevity of uncemented total hip replacement (THR), NHS England's Best Practice Tariff (BPT) recommends using cemented implants in patients over the age of 69, with financial penalties when this policy is not met. At the same time, the 'paradox' of increased use of uncemented implants worldwide has been well described, with many surgeons using them regardless of the age group of the patient. Materials and methods This study focuses on the radiographic evaluation of the uncemented Pinnacle/Corail total hip replacement construct in 123 patients of all age groups who underwent an elective procedure, with a minimum radiographic follow-up of two years. Implant information (collared or non-collared stem), femur type (Dorr classification), age, gender, and revision rate were collected and radiographic analysis of the femoral stem and acetabular component was performed for the immediate post-operative, six-month, one- to two-year follow-up radiograph of all patients. We conducted a statistical analysis, dividing the patients into two groups based on age: those above or below 69 years old. Results There was no statistically significant difference in rates of radiographic lucency after two years with regard to the femoral component. Both collared and non-collared stems seem to perform equally well, with no significant difference detected. However, a statistically significant difference in rates of radiographic lucency of the acetabular cup was noted between the two age groups (p=0.018), with higher rates detected in the under-69-year-old age group. Conclusion This study demonstrates that, radiographically, the uncemented Pinnacle/Corail construct performs equally well in all age groups. In our cohort of patients, the age of the patient did not predict the osseointegration of the implant in the short-term follow-up.

    Abstract Background: Obesity is an abnormal fat accumulation that adversely affects human health. Studies reported several vitamin deficiencies in obese patients. The current study investigates the deficiencies of vitamins D, B6, and B12 among Jordanian adults with hyperlipidemia and demonstrates the association between serum vitamin levels and metabolic and lipid profile parameters.
    Methods: Sixty male subjects were divided into 40 hyperlipidemic patients (age: 45.9 yr. ±10.2) and 20 controls (age: 41.2 yr. ±10.7). The blood levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, hemoglobin A1c, and vitamins D, B6, and B12 were measured.
    Results: The hyperlipidemic patients showed significantly increased triglycerides, total cholesterol, non-HDL, cholesterol/HDL ratio, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)- cholesterol levels, and decreased HDL-cholesterol levels compared to the controls. No significant differences were found in the blood levels of vitamin D, vitamin B6, or vitamin B12 between groups. However, 50% of the hyperlipidemic patients and 54.5% of the controls exhibited vitamin D deficiency. Only the hyperlipidemic patients exhibited deficiencies of vitamins B6 and B12 in 5.4% and 3.3% of cases, respectively. In the controls, vitamin B12 level was inversely associated with total cholesterol, whereas in the hyperlipidemic patients, vitamin B6 level was inversely correlated with total cholesterol and non-HDL levels.
    Conclusions: The hyperlipidemic patients exhibited vitamins D, B6, and B12 deficiencies. Additionally, vitamins B6 and B12 levels were inversely correlated with total cholesterol and non-HDL levels. Our findings highlight the importance of routine evaluation of vitamin levels in patients with hyperlipidemia.

    Abstract Background: Neglected non-united lateral humeral condyle fractures in pediatrics are a probable cause of cubitus valgus deformity which is a disabling complication. The ideal management for this condition is still debatable. This study aimed to evaluate the reconstruction of a non-united lateral humerus condylar fracture complicated by cubitus valgus using a tricortical iliac crest graft in pediatric patients.
    Patients and methods: Twenty children suffering from cubitus valgus as a complication after a non-united fracture of the lateral humeral condyle were included in this study. They were managed by open reduction, screw fixation, and reconstruction by an autologous tricortical iliac bone graft. We compared the preoperative and postoperative range of motion of the elbow, alignment, and elbow function using the Mayo elbow performance index.
    Results: There was a statistically significant improvement in the elbow range of motion postoperatively, and there was a highly significant improvement regarding the elbow alignment and function.
    Conclusion: Open reduction, screw fixation, and reconstruction by the autologous tricortical iliac bone graft is an effective technique for the management of cubitus valgus due to neglected non-united lateral humeral condyle fractures in pediatrics.

    Abstract SARS-CoV-2, the virus that caused the widespread COVID-19 pandemic, is homologous to SARS-CoV. It would be ideal to develop antivirals effective against SARS-CoV-2. In this study, we chose one therapeutic target known as the main protease (M pro ) of SARS-CoV-2. A crystal structure (Id: 6LU7) from the protein data bank (PDB) was used to accomplish the screening and docking studies. A set of phytocompounds was used for the docking investigation. The nature of the interaction and the interacting residues indicated the molecular properties that are essential for significant affinity. Six compounds were selected, based on the docking as well as the MM-GBSA score. Pentagalloylglucose, Shephagenin, Isoacteoside, Isoquercitrin, Kappa-Carrageenan, and Dolabellin are the six compounds with the lowest binding energies (−12 to −8 kcal/mol) and show significant interactions with the target M pro protein. The MMGBSA scores of these compounds are highly promising, and they should be investigated to determine their potential as M pro inhibitors, beneficial for COVID-19 treatment. In this study, we highlight the crucial role of in silico technologies in the search for novel therapeutic components. Computational biology, combined with structural biology, makes drug discovery studies more rigorous and reliable, and it creates a scenario where researchers can use existing drug components to discover new roles as modulators or inhibitors for various therapeutic targets. This study demonstrated that computational analyses can yield promising findings in the search for potential drug components. This work demonstrated the significance of increasing in silico and wetlab research to generate improved structure-based medicines.

    Abstract In this post-genomic era, protein network can be used as a complementary way to shed light on the growing amount of data generated from current high-throughput technologies. Protein network is a powerful approach to describe the molecular mechanisms of the biological events through protein-protein interactions. Here, we describe the computational methods used to construct the protein network using expression data. We provide a list of available tools and databases that can be used in constructing the network.

    Abstract Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (IONPs) have received unprecedented interest in various applications. The main challenges in IONPs are fluid stability due to agglomeration in a saline condition. This paper aims to investigate the colloidal stability of citric acid (CA), sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) under various molar ratios and levels of salinity. Firstly, the IONPs were synthesized using a facile co-precipitation approach. Secondly, the IONPs were coated using a simple dip-coating method by varying the molar ratio of CA, SDS and PVA. Next, the coated IONPs were characterized by using an X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and a Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) for the morphological and crystallographic study of coated IONPs. Finally, the coated IONPs were characterized for their zeta potential value and hydrodynamic size using a Zetasizer and their turbidity was measured using a turbidity meter. It was found that at a low salinity level, 0.07 M of CA-IONPs, a high zeta potential value, a smaller hydrodynamic size, and a high turbidity value of -40.9 mV, 192 nm and 159 NTU were observed, respectively. At a high salinity level, 1.0 M SDS-IONPs recorded a high zeta potential value of 23.63 mV, which corresponds to a smaller hydrodynamic size (3955 nm) and high turbidity result (639 NTU). These findings are beneficial for delivering cutting-edge knowledge, especially in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications.

    Abstract Context: Cymbidium mosaic virus (CymMV) is one of the most devastating viruses causing losses in the orchid industry, affecting economies worth millions of US dollars. CymMV significantly affects the orchid population and could be controlled through an integrated management strategy consisting of virus detection, good sanitation care of gardeners and their tools, and maintaining virus-free explants.
    Evidence acquisition: This review was written based on research publications relevant to the CymMV infection in orchids. The literature cited were obtained from online literature databases such as web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The searched term used was "Cymbidium mosaic virus". Related publications to the initial search were also examined.
    Results & conclusions: This review describes the threat of CymMV to the orchid population by examining its history, genome organization, symptoms on individual orchids, detection, and management. Current research has been focusing on the prospect of transgenic orchids with viral resistance. This review also highlights the potential role of the symbiotic relationship between orchids and arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi that could be useful to improve the protection of orchids against virus infection. Overall, this review provides information on how CymMV infection impacts the orchid population.
