Fractures of the proximal humerus are common. The most frequent surgical treatment option is open reduction and locking plate fixation. Multifragmentary fractures, including 3- and 4-part fractures, are especially challenging to treat because they correlate with an increased risk of fixation failure. In the past, several mechanisms of additional fixation were investigated, but none directly addressed the lesser tuberosity (LT). The goal of this study was to investigate the biomechanical impact of additional anterior fracture fixation in lateral locked plating (LLP) of 4-part proximal humeral fractures (PHFs).

Twenty-seven fresh frozen human shoulder specimens (mean age, 80 years) with intact rotator cuffs (RCs) were randomized into 4 groups 3-part PHF with LLP and RC cerclage (n = 6); 4-part PHF with LLP and RC cerclage as standard of care (n = 7); 4-part PHF with LLP, RC cerclage, and 2 anterior 3.5-mm cortical screws (n = 7); and 4-part PHF with LLP, RC cerclage, and additional anterior one-third tubulahan LLP of a 3-part PHF without fracture of the LT. Additional screw fixation of the LT in 4-part PHFs improves stability compared with LLP alone. In case of metaphyseal comminution, AAP is favorable from a biomechanical perspective.

Fusobacterium nucleatum (F.nucleatum), a gram-negative, obligately anaerobe of oral commensal，has been regarded as culprit of periodontal diseases previously and is being unveiled as possible pathogen of gastrointestinal disorders. The key virulence factor of F.nucleatum is FadA adhesin for binding and invading of the host's epithelial cells. Here, we detected fecal F.nucleatum and virulence gene fadA in patients with ulcerative colitis(UC) and evaluated the clinical relevance with UC.

A total of 310 subjects were enrolled including 100 patients with UC, 70 healthy controls (HC), 70 patients with irritable bowel syndrome subtype diarrhea(IBS-D), and 70 colorectal cancer patients(CRC). Stool samples of UC patients compared with healthy controls as well as IBS-D and CRC patients were collected for Polymerase Chain Reaction(PCR) detection of F.nucleatum (based on 16s rRNA) and virulence gene fadA.

The detection rate of 16s rRNA based PCR for F.nucleatum of UC patients(39/100, 39.00%) and CRC(26/70, 37.14%)antly higher than patients with mild and moderate colitis(28.89% vs 10.91%, P<0.05). ISM001-055 molecular weight In addition, the fecal F.nucleatum and fadA gene positive patients were more likely to have pancolitis other than left-sided colitis(pancolitis/left-sided colitis 26.92% vs 10.42%, P<0.05).

The presence of F.nucleatum and fadA gene increased in UC patients, especially in patients with severe colitis and pancolitis. Strains of F.nucleatum harbored virulence gene fadA are suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of UC.

With regard to Helicobacter Pylori prevalence rate and widespread, producing an effective vaccine against this bacterium appears reasonable and necessary. Today, vaccine design by immunoinformatics is a promising solution in vaccine field. In the present study, potential immunodominant CD4⁺ T cell epitopes of UreB, HpaA, and NapA antigens were selected with a focus on IFN-γ secretion inducing ability. After joining the selected epitopes with KK and GPGPG linkers, sequence of Melittin, the major active protein of honey bee venom, was put in C-terminal by DPRVPSS linker as adjuvant. After reverse translation and codon optimization, the designed vaccine was cloned into pET-23a vector. The final construct was estimated as antigenic (71 & 74%) and non-allergenic with molecular weight of 36.785KD. The instability index (II) and codon frequency distribution were predicted to be 26.5 and 92%, respectively. The pET-23a vector transformed to the E.coli BL21 (DE3) strain. The evaluation of expression by SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the optimized expression is in SOB medium 8 h after induction by 0.5 mM IPTG. Finally, purification was performed by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and Western blot analysis validated the purified protein. Future research is needed to investigate the designed vaccine efficiency against H. pylori, and also it's potential as a gastric cancer-preventive candidate.Emerging evidence suggests that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in disease development. However, the roles of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of Candida albicans (C. albicans) remain unclear. Our study aimed to investigate and characterize the mRNA and lncRNA transcriptomes of CD14+ monocytes and THP-1 cells stimulated with insoluble β-glucan by RNA-seq. We identified a total of 10788 differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs and 2021 DE lncRNAs in CD14+ monocytes, while 3349 DE mRNAs and 291 DE lncRNAs were observed in THP-1 cells. A total of 808 DE mRNAs and 51 DE lncRNAs overlapped between the two groups. We examined five collectively DE mRNAs and lncRNAs in both cells using quantitative real-time PCR, validating the reliability of the RNA-seq results. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses revealed that the 808 DE mRNAs were mostly enriched in the inflammatory response and NF-kappa B signaling pathway, respectively. Next, lncRNA-mRNA coexpression analysis was performed for the 51 DE lncRNAs and the 808 DE mRNAs in the two groups. We chose the common network pairs of the two groups to construct the coexpression network and revealed 97 network pairs comprising 8 dysregulated lncRNAs and 60 dysregulated mRNAs. We found that lncRNA lnc-CCL3L3-11 might be involved in the NF-kappa B signaling pathway in C. albicans infection. In conclusion, the aberrantly expressed lncRNAs might play a role in the pathogenesis of C. albicans infection and could be used as therapeutic targets in the future.
