- Abstract
To investigate to what extent the higher risk of tibiofemoral radiographic osteoarthritis (TFROA) in females vs. males can be explained by knee malalignment. Using data from Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study (MOST) and Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI), we examined the relation of sex to the incident medial and lateral TFROA and performed mediation analyses to assess to what extent varus and valgus malalignments account for sex differences in the incident medial or lateral TFROA. Of the 3462 knees without medial and lateral TFROA in MOST, the 7-year risks of medial and lateral TFROA were 16.9% and 10.0% in females, and 15.8% and 4.2% in males, respectively. Females had 2.31-fold (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.73 to 3.08) higher incident lateral TFROA than males, and the relative risk (RR) of the indirect effect of sex on lateral TFROA through valgus malalignment was 1.15 (95% CI: 1.09 to 1.20), accounting for 23% of its total effect on lateral TFROA. In OAI (n = 3095 knees), females had 1.54-fold (95% CI: 1.15 to 2.04) higher incident lateral TFROA than males, and RR of the indirect effect of sex on lateral TFROA through valgus malalignment was 1.10 (95% CI: 1.04 to 1.21), accounting for 26% of its total effect on lateral TFROA. No apparent sex difference in the incident medial TFROA was found in MOST (RR = 1.05, 95% CI: 0.89 to 1.25) or OAI (RR = 1.02, 95% CI: 0.84 to 1.19). Females had a higher risk of developing lateral TFROA than males; however, valgus malalignment only modestly explained such a difference. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
• What is the primary question addressed by this study? Does regular opioid use associated with increased dementia risk and poor brain health in chronic pain patients? • What is the main finding of this study? Regular opioid use was associated with higher risk of dementia and poorer neuroimaging outcomes in chronic pain patients than non-opioid analgesics. Number of opioid prescriptions was associated with dose-dependent risk of dementia. • What is the meaning of the finding? These findings imply a need for re-evaluation of opioid prescription practices for chronic pain patients and, if further evidence supports causality, provide insights into strategies to mitigate the burden of dementia. We aimed to investigate the association of regular opioid use, compared with non-opioid analgesics, with incident dementia and neuroimaging outcomes among chronic pain patients. The primary design is a prospective cohort study. To triangulate evidence, we also conducted a nested case-control study analyzing opioid prescriptions and a cross-sectional study analyzing neuroimaging outcomes. Dementia-free UK Biobank participants with chronic pain and regular analgesic use. Chronic pain status and regular analgesic use were captured using self-reported questionnaires and verbal interviews. Opioid prescription data were obtained from primary care records. Dementia cases were ascertained using primary care, hospital, and death registry records. Propensity score-matched Cox proportional hazards analysis, conditional logistic regression, and linear regression were applied to the data in the prospective cohort, nested case-control, and cross-sectional studies, respectively. Prospective analyses revealed that regular opioid use, compared with non-opioid analgesics, was associated with an increased dementia risk over the 15-year follow-up (Hazard ratio [HR], 1.18 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.08–1.30]; Absolute rate difference [ARD], 0.44 [95% CI: 0.19–0.71] per 1000 person-years; Wald χ
2 = 3.65; df = 1; p <0.001). The nested case-control study suggested that a higher number of opioid prescriptions was associated with an increased risk of dementia (1 to 5 prescriptions: OR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.07–1.37, Wald χ2 = 3.02, df = 1, p = 0.003; 6 to 20: OR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.08–1.50, Wald χ2 = 2.93, df = 1, p = 0.003; more than 20: OR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.23–1.67, Wald χ2 = 4.57, df = 1, p < 0.001). Finally, neuroimaging analyses revealed that regular opioid use was associated with lower total grey matter and hippocampal volumes, and higher white matter hyperintensities volumes. Regular opioid use in chronic pain patients was associated with an increased risk of dementia and poorer brain health when compared to non-opioid analgesic use. These findings imply a need for re-evaluation of opioid prescription practices for chronic pain patients and, if further evidence supports causality, provide insights into strategies to mitigate the burden of dementia.

- Abstract
Numerous attempts have been made to identify risk factors for surgery complications, but few studies have identified accurate methods of predicting complex outcomes involving multiple complications. We performed a prospective cohort study of general surgical inpatients who attended 4 regionally representative hospitals in China from January to June 2015 and January to June 2016. The risk factors were identified using logistic regression. A Bayesian network model, consisting of directed arcs and nodes, was used to analyze the relationships between risk factors and complications. Probability ratios for complications for a given node state relative to the baseline probability were calculated to quantify the potential effects of risk factors on complications or of complications on other complications. We recruited 19,223 participants and identified 21 nodes, representing 9 risk factors and 12 complications, and 55 direct relationships between these. Respiratory failure was at the center of the network, directly affected by 5 risk factors, and directly affected 7 complications. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and sepsis or septic shock also directly affected death. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the ability of the network to predict complications was >0.7. Notably, the probability of other severe complications or death significantly increased when a severe complication occurred. Most importantly, there was a 141-fold higher risk of death when cardiopulmonary resuscitation was required. We have created a Bayesian network that displays how risk factors affect complications and their interrelationships and permits the accurate prediction of complications and the creation of appropriate preventive guidelines.

- Abstract
To compare the postoperative outcomes of 4 different femoral drilling techniques in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Three databases were searched for randomized controlled trials comparing any 2 or more of the following femoral drilling techniques in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: standard transtibial (sTT), anteromedial portal (AMP), outside-in (OI), or modified transtibial (mTT) technique. A Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed to assess postoperative stability and functional recovery in terms of the side-to-side difference (measured by arthrometry), Lachman test, pivot-shift test, International Knee Documentation Committee subjective and objective scores, Lysholm score, and Tegner score. The Fisher exact probability test and χ
2 test were used to compare the incidences of infection and graft rupture, respectively. We included 20 randomized controlled trials involving 1,515 patients. The AMP technique showed a lower side-to-side difference (standardized mean difference, –0.33; 95% credible interval [CrI], –0.53 to –0.12), higher negative rate on the pivot-shift test (odds ratio, 2.19; 95% CrI, 1.38 to 3.44), and higher International Knee Documentation Committee objective score (odds ratio, 3.13; 95% CrI, 1.42 to 7.82) than the sTT technique. However, knee stability and functional outcomes did not differ significantly between the OI and sTT techniques. Safety outcomes of the mTT technique were unavailable. The incidence of graft rupture was 5.20% for the OI technique, 2.27% for the AMP technique, and 1.51% for the sTT technique. The OI technique had a significantly higher incidence of graft rupture than the sTT technique (χ2 = 4.421, P =.035). No significant difference in the incidence of infection was found between the sTT, AMP, and OI techniques (P =.281). The AMP technique, but not the OI technique, was superior to the sTT technique in knee stability and functional recovery. The OI technique had a higher incidence of graft rupture than the sTT technique. There was no significant difference between the AMP and OI techniques or between the mTT technique and any other femoral drilling technique. Level II, meta-analysis of Level I and II studies.

- Abstract
Objectives: There is still a large unmet need for novel osteoarthritis (OA) treatments that could provide clinically important effects on long-term pain relief (≥12 months). We examined the relation of bariatric surgery along with weight loss to analgesic prescription and all-cause mortality among individuals with OA.Methods: We conducted a cohort study among individuals with OA using The Health Improvement Network. We compared the rate of no analgesic prescription ≥12 consecutive months and the risk of all-cause mortality using inverse probability weighting Cox-proportional hazard models and the difference in number of analgesic prescriptions (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, opioids, and paracetamol) in the 50th, 75th and 90th percentiles using quantile regression model between bariatric and non-bariatric cohorts.Results: Included were 588,494 individuals (694 had bariatric surgery). Compared with non-bariatric group, the rate of no analgesic prescription ≥12 consecutive months was higher (HR = 1.23, 95% CI: 1.08-1.38) in bariatric surgery group, and the number of analgesic prescriptions was lower in the 75th (44 vs 58) and 90th (74 vs 106) percentiles during a mean follow-up of 4.3 years. All-cause mortality in bariatric surgery group was lower than comparison group (HR = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.41-0.51).Conclusion: This study presents the first evidence that bariatric surgery was associated with decreased long-term analgesic prescription and decreased all-cause mortality among individuals with OA. However, our findings may be overestimated owing to intractable confounding by indication for bariatric surgery; thus, future studies (e.g., clinical trials) are warranted.

Modulating the activation state and degree of macrophages still remains as a challenge for the topographical design of Ti-based implants. In this work, micro/nano-structured coatings were prepared on Ti substrates by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) and subsequent hydrothermal (HT) treatment. By varying the HT conditions, plate-like nano-structures with an average length of 80, 440 or 780 nm were obtained on MAO-prepared micro-topographical surfaces. Depending on the dimensional features of nano-plates, the specimens were noted as Micro, Micro/Nano-180, Micro/Nano-440 and Micro/Nano-780, respectively. The in vitro results showed that the activation state and degree of macrophages could be effectively modulated by the micro/nano-structured surfaces with various dimensional features. Compared to the Micro surface, the Micro/Nano-180 surface activated both M1 and M2 phenotype in macrophages, while the Micro/Nano-440 and Micro/Nano-780 surfaces polarized macrophages to their M1 phenotype. The activation degree of M1 macrophages followed the trend: Micro < Micro/Nano-180 < Micro/Nano-440 < Micro/Nano-780. However, the osteogenic potential of the activated macrophages in response to various surfaces were in the order: Micro ≈ Micro/Nano-780 < Micro/Nano-180 < Micro/Nano-440. Together, the findings presented in this work indicate that engineering nano-structures with controllable dimensional features is a promising strategy to modulate macrophage activation state and degree. In addition, it is essential to determine the appropriate activation degree of M1 macrophages for enhanced osteogenesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of individual devices for femoral and/or tibial graft fixation in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.Methods: The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched from inception to December 12, 2018. Randomized controlled trials comparing individual devices for ACL graft fixation were included. Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed to assess the efficacy profile using the following outcomes: Lysholm score, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) category, laxity, range of motion, and Tegner score. The incidence of infection, effusion, and graft rupture for each device was reported.Results: We included 57 randomized controlled trials involving 4,304 patients aged 23.8 to 40.9 years. The female proportion ranged from 0% to 100%. The length of follow-up ranged from 6 to 144 months. Of the 13 studied femoral fixation devices, none was significantly different from the others regarding the Lysholm score, IKDC category, range of motion, and Tegner score. Bioabsorbable interference screws (standardized mean difference, 1.3; 95% credible interval, 0.0-2.5) showed higher laxity than the EndoPearl at a borderline level of statistical significance, but the difference varied substantially within multiple sensitivity analyses. Infection (2.0%) was most commonly seen with the EndoPearl, whereas the bone mulch screw had the highest incidence of effusion (5.5%) and graft rupture (5.5%). For the 9 studied tibial fixation devices, no significant difference was observed in the aforementioned efficacy measurements. Bioabsorbable interference screws with staples had the highest incidence of infection (11.1%) and effusion (15.6%), whereas graft rupture was most commonly seen with the bone plug (4.0%).Conclusions: Graft fixation devices in ACL reconstruction share a similar efficacy profile in terms of the Lysholm score, IKDC category, range of motion, and Tegner score but not laxity. On the other hand, safety profiles seem to vary among different devices. These findings can support surgeons, alongside their experience and preference, as well as the relative cost of each device, in delivering an individualized plan for an optimal operation.Level Of Evidence: Level II, meta-analysis of Level I and II studies.

• A fluorescence method was developed for comprehensive evaluation of CTCV. • PARAFAC completed the spectra characterization of CTCV. • The classification models were established by LDA, PLS-DA and N -PLS-DA. • The fluorescence components were strongly related to antioxidant activity of CTCV. • Antioxidant properties were accurately quantified through PSO-VWLS-SVM model. In this work, a rapid and accurate strategy for classification of Chinese traditional cereal vinegars (CTCV) and antioxidant property predication was proposed by using the combination fluorescence spectroscopy and machine learning. Three characteristic fluorescent components were extracted by parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC), which have correlations greater than 0.8 with antioxidant activity of CTCV obtained by Pearson correlation analysis. Machine learning methods, including linear discriminant analysis (LDA), partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and N -way partial least squares discriminant analysis (N -PLS-DA), were used for the classification of different types of CTCV, and the correct classification rates was higher than 97%. The antioxidant property of CTCV were further quantified by using optimized variable-weighted least-squares support vector machine based on particle swarm optimization (PSO-VWLS-SVM). The proposed strategy provides a basis for further research on antioxidant active ingredients and antioxidant mechanisms of CTCV, and enable the continued exploration and application of CTCV from different types.

24. Editorial Commentary: Hip Arthroscopy in Patients With Moderate to Advanced Osteoarthritis Shows Unpredictable Results.

Xiong, Yilin, Zeng, Chao, and Lei, Guanghua
- Abstract
Hip arthroscopy is an effective surgical approach for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome with concomitant mild hip osteoarthritis (OA). However, in the FAI patients with moderate to advanced hip OA (Tönnis grade 2 or greater), whether hip arthroscopy could provide symptomatic relief or delay the need for an ultimate total hip arthroplasty surgery is controversial. The literature is heterogeneous and of generally lower quality evidence. Recent research reporting 10-year outcomes of hip arthroscopy in patients with hip OA shows 57% survivorship, and 78% survivor satisfaction. With unpredictable results, surgeons and well informed patients could hold some hope for a positive outcome after arthroscopy of an arthritic hip. As the Tönnis grading system shows poor interobserver reliability, surgeons may need to carefully consider their personal indications and resultant outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent a promising cell source to regenerate articular cartilage, but current chondroinduction protocols, commonly using transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ), lead to concomitant chondrocytic hypertrophy with ossification risk. Here, we showed that a 14-day culture of MSC-laden hyaluronic acid hydrogel in the presence of TGFβ, followed by 7 days culture in TGFβ-free medium, with the supplement of Wnt/β-catenin inhibitor XAV939 from day 10–21, resulted in significantly reduced hypertrophy phenotype. The stability of the hyaline phenotype of the MSC-derived cartilage, generated with a standard protocol (Control) or the optimized (Optimized) method developed in this study, was further examined through intramuscular implantation in nude mice. After 4 weeks, constructs from the Control group showed obvious mineralization; in contrast, the Optimized group displayed no signs of mineralization, and maintained cartilaginous histology. Further analysis showed that TGFβ treatment time affected p38 expression, while exposure to XAV939 significantly inhibited P-Smad 1/5 level, which together resulted in decreased level of Runx2. These findings suggest a novel treatment regimen to generate hyaline cartilage from human MSCs-loaded scaffolds, which have a minimal risk of eliciting endochondral ossification.

- Abstract
National epidemiological data in China are absent for revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to investigate the burden and characteristics of revision TKA in China. We reviewed 4,503 revision TKA cases registered in the Hospital Quality Monitoring System in China between 2013 and 2018 using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes. Revision burden was determined by the ratio of the number of revision procedures to the total number of TKA procedures. Demographic characteristics, hospital characteristics, and hospitalization charges were identified. The revision TKA cases accounted for 2.4% of all TKA cases. The revision burden showed an increasing trend from 2013 to 2018 (2.3% to 2.5%) (P for trend =.034). Gradual increases in revision TKA were observed in patients aged > 60 years. The most common causes for revision TKA were infection (33.0%) and mechanical failure (19.5%). More than 70% of the patients were hospitalized in provincial hospitals. A total of 17.6% patients were hospitalized in a hospital outside the province of their residence. The hospitalization charges continued to increase between 2013 and 2015 and remained roughly stable over the next three years. This study provided epidemiological data for revision TKA in China based on a national database. There was a growing trend of revision burden during the study period. The focalized nature of operations in a few higher volume regions was observed and many patients had to travel to obtain their revision procedure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mesenchymal stem cell derived extracellular matrix (MSC-ECM) is a natural biomaterial with robust bioactivity and good biocompatibility, and has been studied as a scaffold for tissue engineering. In this investigation, we tested the applicability of using decellularized human bone marrow derived MSC-ECM (hBMSC-ECM) as a culture substrate for chondrocyte expansion in vitro , as well as a scaffold for chondrocyte-based cartilage repair. hBMSC-ECM deposited by hBMSCs cultured on tissue culture plastic (TCP) was harvested, and then subjected to a decellularization process to remove hBMSCs. Compared with chondrocytes grown on TCP, chondrocytes seeded onto hBMSC-ECM exhibited significantly increased proliferation rate, and maintained better chondrocytic phenotype than TCP group. After being expanded to the same cell number and placed in high-density micromass cultures, chondrocytes from the ECM group showed better chondrogenic differentiation profile than those from the TCP group. To test cartilage formation ability, composites of hBMSC-ECM impregnated with chondrocytes were subjected to brief trypsin treatment to allow cell-mediated contraction, and folded to form 3-dimensional chondrocyte-impregnated hBMSC-ECM (Cell/ECM constructs). Upon culture in vitro in chondrogenic medium for 21 days, robust cartilage formation was observed in the Cell/ECM constructs. Similarly prepared Cell/ECM constructs were tested in vivo by subcutaneous implantation into SCID mice. Prominent cartilage formation was observed in the implanted Cell/ECM constructs 14 days post-implantation, with higher sGAG deposition compared to controls consisting of chondrocyte cell sheets. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that hBMSC-ECM is a superior culture substrate for chondrocyte expansion and a bioactive matrix potentially applicable for cartilage regeneration in vivo . Statement of significance Current cell-based treatments for focal cartilage defects face challenges, including chondrocyte dedifferentiation, need for xenogenic scaffolds, and suboptimal cartilage formation. We present here a novel technique that utilizes adult stem cell-derived extracellular matrix, as a culture substrate and/or encapsulation scaffold for human adult chondrocytes, for the repair of cartilage defects. Chondrocytes cultured in stem cell-derived matrix showed higher proliferation, better chondrocytic phenotype, and improved redifferentiation ability upon in vitro culture expansion. Most importantly, 3-dimensional constructs formed from chondrocytes folded within stem cell matrix manifested excellent cartilage formation both in vitro and in vivo . These findings demonstrate the suitability of stem cell-derived extracellular matrix as a culture substrate for chondrocyte expansion as well as a candidate bioactive matrix for cartilage regeneration.

- Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the comparative efficacy and safety of single-dose intra-articular injection of commonly used analgesics after knee arthroscopy.Methods: A systematic literature review was done to search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published from database inception to October 1, 2020, that compared analgesics (i.e., morphine, bupivacaine, ropivacaine, and magnesium alone or in combination) with placebo or each other after knee arthroscopy. The primary outcomes were postoperative pain intensity at 2 hours and 24 hours. Secondary outcomes included the time to first analgesic request, number of patients requiring supplementary analgesics and side effects. We estimated summary standardized mean differences (SMDs) or odds ratios with 95% credible intervals (95% CrIs) using Bayesian network meta-analysis with random effects.Results: In total, 78 randomized controlled trials comprising 4,425 participants were included. Compared with placebo, magnesium plus bupivacaine was most likely to be effective in relieving pain at both 2-hour (SMD = -3.81, 95% CrI -5.28 to -2.35) and 24-hour after surgery (SMD = -2.81, 95% CrI: -4.29 to -1.30). Following was morphine plus bupivacaine (2-hour: SMD = -2.19, 95% CrI -3.05 to -1.31; 24-hour: SMD = -1.44, 95% CrI -2.14 to -0.73) and bupivacaine alone (2-hour: SMD = -1.66, 95% CrI -2.33 to -0.98; 24-hour: SMD = -0.67, 95% CrI -1.22 to -0.07); ropivacaine alone and magnesium alone were not effective on pain relief. The interval time to first analgesic request was significantly extended compared with placebo except for ropivacaine alone and magnesium alone. The number of patients requiring supplementary analgesics was reduced in all groups except ropivacaine alone. No statistically significant difference was found between any studied analgesics or placebo with regard to side effects.Conclusions: Of 6 common postoperative intra-articular analgesics, magnesium plus bupivacaine provides the most effective pain relief without increasing short-term side effects after knee arthroscopy.Level Of Evidence: Level II, meta-analysis of Level I and II studies.

- Abstract
Routine vaccinations are associated with an increased risk of gout flares. We examined the association between COVID-19 vaccination, an immunization program implemented to a large proportion of population, and the risk of gout flares. We conducted a time-stratified case-crossover study among patients with gout who experienced gout flares between December 2020 and September 2021, using data from The Health Improvement Network. We compared the risk of gout flares on each of the seven days on and after the day of COVID-19 vaccination vs. no vaccination during that period using conditional logistic regression. In addition, we performed subgroup analyses stratified by different COVID-19 vaccines (i.e., BNT162b2, hereafter referred to as BNT, and ChAdOx1 nCov-19, hereafter referred to as ChAd). Among 5,904 patients with gout (mean age: 63·1 years; 85·5% male) who experienced gout flares within one month, the risk of gout flares slightly increased on the second day after COVID-19 vaccination (odds ratio: 1·44; 95% CI: 1·02 to 2·07). The risk of gout flares also slightly increased after receiving COVID-19 vaccine on other remaining days (ORs ranged from 1·03 to 1·22); however, none of them was statistically significant. An increased risk of gout flares on the second day after vaccination was mainly observed for the ChAd vaccine (odds ratio: 1·44; 95% CI: 1·00 to 2·05), but not for BNT vaccine (odds ratio: 1·18; 95% CI: 0·67 to 2·02). COVID-19 vaccination, mainly ChAd vaccination, slightly increases the risk of gout flares on the second day after vaccination. This finding reassures the safety of COVID-19 vaccination for patients with gout. [Display omitted] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction yields better improvement in stability and functional recovery than the single-bundle technique. Methods: An Internet search was performed of the Pubmed, Embase, AMED, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP databases to find all published randomized controlled trials of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction treated with the double-bundle versus single-bundle technique. Outcomes of stability improvement and functional recovery were meta-analyzed. Results: One thousand six hundred sixty-seven patients in 19 randomized controlled trials were involved in the meta-analysis. The overall relative risk (with 95% confidence interval) calculated with the random effects model in the pivot shift test and the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) objective score for single-bundle versus double-bundle ACL reconstruction were 0.77 (0.67, 0.89) and 0.80 (0.68, 0.93), respectively. The overall relative risk calculated with the fixed effects model in the Lachman test was 0.84 (0.78 to 0.92). The overall standard mean differences (with 95% confidence interval) calculated with the random effects model were 0.26 (0.05, 0.46) for anterior side-to-side difference; −0.08 (−0.28,0.12) for Lysholm score; Tegner activity scale, −0.41 (−0.85, 0.03) for Tegner activity score; and −0.08 (−0.32, 0.15) for IKDC subjective score. Conclusions: Meta-analysis of random controlled trials revealed that double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction resulted in significantly better anterior and rotational stability and higher IKDC objective scores compared with single-bundle reconstruction. However, the meta-analysis did not detect any significant differences in subjective outcome measures between double-bundle and single-bundle reconstruction, as evidenced by the Lysholm score, Tegner activity scale, and IKDC subjective score. Level of Evidence: Level II, meta-analysis of Level I and II studies. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

[Display omitted] • A novel colorimetric sensor method was constructed for distinguish ESYL grades. • The mechanism involved forming borate esters and the conversion between Ag+ and Ag0. • The accuracy of ESYL grades identification based on visual data was 95.5%. Enshi Yulu green tea (ESYL) is the most representative traditional steamed green tea in Enshi, Hubei. Different ESYL grades exhibit distinct flavors, tastes, and prices. In this study, a visual sensor based on 4-MPBA Au@AgNPs was developed for the rapid and accurate identification of ESYL grades. The recognition mechanism involved the binding of 4-MPBA Au@AgNPs with polyphenolic compounds in ESYL to form borate esters and the conversion of Ag+ to Ag0, with the generated Ag0 depositing on the surface of 4-MPBA Au@AgNPs. The results showed that the sensor can amplify the color differences of different grades of ESYL. The visual results were also validated by the partial least squares discriminant analysis model, demonstrating an enhancement in recognition accuracy from 68.2 % to 95.5 % compared to the original extraction solution. The colorimetric sensor developed in this study is expected to provide a new approach for traceability research of other foods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Clarifying the prognosis and readmission patterns of patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) following total hip arthroplasty (THA) would provide important references for clinical management for this population. Using the Chinese national inpatient database (i.e., Hospital Quality Monitoring System [HQMS]), we aimed to compare in-hospital complications and readmission patterns following THA in patients with DDH and primary osteoarthritis (OA). Patients undergoing THA for DDH and OA between 2013 and 2019 were identified using the HQMS. Demographics and clinical characteristics were compared between the two groups. After propensity score matching, in-hospital complications and readmission patterns were compared using a logistic regression model. According to the analysis of 13,937 propensity-score matched pairs, there were no significant differences in the incidence of in-hospital death (0.01 % vs 0.04 %, P = 0.142), transfusion (8.09 % vs 7.89 %, P = 0.536), wound infection (0.31 % vs 0.25 %, P = 0.364), deep venous thrombosis (0.45 % vs 0.43 %, P = 0.786), pulmonary embolism (0.03 % vs 0.05 %, P = 0.372) or all-cause readmission (2.87 % vs 3.12 %, P = 0.219) between two groups. However, DDH patients had higher surgical readmission rates than OA patients (1.43 % vs 1.14 %, P = 0.033). When analyzing causes of surgical readmission, DDH patients had increased risk of dislocation (0.37 % vs 0.21 %, P = 0.011) and aseptic loosening (0.17 % vs 0.07 %, P = 0.024) than OA patients. DDH patients had an increased risk of surgical readmission following THA, mainly driven by dislocation and aseptic loosening, which should be recognized and appropriately prevented. • DDH and OA patients had comparable complication and readmission rates after THA. • DDH had an increased risk of surgical-related readmission than OA after THA. • DDH had an increased risk of dislocation and aseptic loosening than OA after THA.

• Ti-xMg composite materials were fabricated by MA and SPS. • Mg existed in the Ti matrix and at the grain boundaries of Ti. • Mg2+ exhibited a burst release, and then the release rates gradually decreased. • The cell viability was dependent on the content of Mg in Ti-Mg composites. • The Ti-0.625 Mg composite exhibited the best biological performance. Magnesium (Mg) is well-known for its bioactivity and degradability. However, due to its low evaporation temperature and limited solubility in titanium (Ti), the fabrication of Ti-Mg alloys remains a huge challenge. In this study, Ti-xMg (x = 0.312, 0.625, 1.25 and 2.5 wt.%) alloys were fabricated by the combination of mechanical alloying (MA) and spark plasma sintering (SPS). Mg mainly existed as a solid solute element in the Ti matrix, while it also existed as second-phase particles due to its precipitation and dispersion during the SPS process. At a low content of 0.625 wt.%, Mg could increase the mechanical strength of Ti by the solid solution strengthening. However, it was detrimental to material mechanical properties when the Mg content increased to 1.25 wt.%. Being immersed in phosphate buffered solution (PBS), Ti-Mg alloys exhibited a burst Mg2+ release behavior within the first day, and then the rates of Mg2+ release gradually decreased within the following 27 days. The results suggested that the cell viability was dependent on the content of Mg in the Ti-Mg alloys. The high Mg content (2.5 wt.%) in the Ti-Mg alloys could lead to significant cytotoxicity. However, appropriate Mg content (0.312∼0.625 wt.%) could promote cell attachment, proliferation and differentiation. The Ti-0.625Mg alloy exhibited the best in vitro biological performance among all groups. In vivo results obtained by implanting the Ti-0.625Mg alloy in the femurs of rats further revealed its enhanced regenerative potential and osteointegration compared to pure Ti implants.

Previous studies comparing risk of fracture among Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) users with that among non-users were susceptible to confounding by indication. Epidemiologic studies of this association using an active medication as a comparator would appropriately address this bias. We conducted a propensity-score matched cohort study to compare the risk of incident fracture over five years among initiators of PPIs with initiators of histamine 2 receptor antagonist (H2RA) using data collected from The Health Improvement Network (THIN) database in the United Kingdom (2000–2016). The prevalence of PPIs prescription increased 3.8-fold from 2000 (7.9%) to 2012 (30.3%) and remained stable since then. Of the 50,265 propensity-score matched participants in each cohort (mean age was 65 years, and 57% were women), 370 (1.9/1000 person-years) incident hip fracture occurred in the PPIs initiators and 294 (1.5/1000 person-years) in the H2RA initiators during the follow-up period. The rate difference of incident hip fracture for PPIs initiation was 0.4 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.2–0.7)/1000 person-years compared with H2RA initiation and the corresponding hazard ratio (HR) was 1.27 (95%CI: 1.09–1.48). Compared with non-PPI use, multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of hip fracture were 1.17 (95%CI: 0.94–1.46), 1.55 (95%CI: 1.23–1.96), and 1.67 (95%CI: 1.33–2.10) for 1–2, 3–9 and ≥ 10 prescriptions of PPIs, respectively (P for trend = 0.001). We found that PPIs prescription has been increasing rapidly over the past decade in the United Kingdom, and the initiation of PPIs was associated with a higher risk of hip fracture than initiation of H2RA. • No study has been conducted to compare the risk of fracture among PPI initiators with that among an active comparator. • Number of PPIs prescriptions for subjects aged 50 years and older had been increasing significantly over the past decade. • Initiation of PPIs was associated with a higher risk of hip fracture than initiation of a similarly medication, H2RA. • Our findings were independent of major confounding factors and were consistent in several sensitivity analyses.
