Postoperative knee function (Knee Society Score, KSS), compliance with functional exercises, and quality of life were evaluated and compared between the two groups.Results: Before the intervention, as well as two days post-operation and on the day of discharge, there were no significant differences in KSS scores between the two groups. However, at 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months post-operation, the intervention group showed significantly higher KSS scores compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The compliance rate of knee joint function exercise in the intervention group was significantly higher (P<0.05).

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) and Dual Energy X - Ray Absorptiometry (DXA). We calculated cut-off values as mean - 2 SDs.Results: Appendicular Lean Mass Index cut-off values for Greek males are 5.61 kg/m2 and 4.06 kg/m2 for females, Skeletal Muscle Mass Index cut-off values are 9.66 kg/m2 for males and 7.83 kg/m2 for females.Conclusions: We estimated cut-off values of normal skeletal muscle mass values in a rather selected sample of healthy Greek adult population.

Foot pressure was recorded by a pedograph, BMI was calculated by weight/height2 (CDC chart), and balance was assessed by Biodex balance system.Results: Subjects who were overweight or obese had significantly higher peak plantar pressure on both their right and left sides when compared to those who were normal weight (p < 0.05) and underweight (p < 0.001), and those who were normal weight had significantly higher peak plantar pressure on both sides when compared to those who were underweight (p < 0.05).

Our findings indicate that while obese and overweight children exhibit significantly higher peak plantar pressure, their higher stability indices suggest reduced postural stability compared to normal and underweight children with different weight characteristics.

Craniectomies are a common clinical procedure, especially in older populations, where calvarial bone is removed to relieve intracranial pressure (i.e., in the case of traumatic brain injury or stroke). Cranial reconstruction surgeries often result in failure due to infection or resorption of autograft material. Despite the need for calvarial bone graft alternatives for older patients, there is limited literature available on the effects of estrogen deficiency on skull bone metabolism and healing.Methods: The purpose of this work was to assess the effects of short-term ovariectomy (OVX) on calvarial bone properties and on the healing of 3.5 mm unilateral calvarial defects.Results: Surprisingly, the intact calvarial bone of OVX rats had higher bone volume, thickness, and number of remodeling cavities than intact calvaria of sham rats. Normalized measures of bone volume showed consistently more calvarial defect healing in OVX compared to sham rats at 4-, 8-, and 12-weeks post-surgery.Conclusion: These findings have implications for future investigations on therapies for treating calvarial bone defects in ovariectomy-induced osteoporotic rats.","PeriodicalId":16430,"journal":{"name":"Journal of musculoskeletal & neuronal interactions","volume":"25 4","pages":"392-406"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12684264/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145648905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between circulating metabolites, particularly lipid-related metabolites, and OP using Mendelian Randomization (MR).Methods: A bidirectional two-sample MR approach was applied using summary statistics from large-scale Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) comprising 484,598 individuals of European ancestry. Genetic variants associated with circulating metabolites were selected as instrumental variables. Causal effects were estimated using inverse variance weighting (IVW), weighted median, and MR-Egger methods. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess heterogeneity and pleiotropy.Results: MR analyses indicated a potential causal relationship between higher levels of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and a reduced risk of OP (OR = 0.997; 95% CI: 0.994-0.999; P = 0.013). Conversely, increased total lipids in lipoprotein particles were associated with a higher OP risk (OR = 1.002; 95% CI: 1.000-1.004; P = 0.031). In addition, OP was inversely associated with total lipids (OR = 0.269; 95% CI: 0.095-0.759; P = 0.013) and triglycerides (OR = 0.259; 95% CI: 0.090-0.745; P = 0.012) in chylomicrons and extremely large very-low-density lipoproteins. No evidence of pleiotropy or heterogeneity was detected.Conclusion: This study provides genetic evidence for causal links between lipid metabolism and OP, suggesting that circulating lipid metabolites may serve as potential biomarkers for risk stratification and prevention.","PeriodicalId":16430,"journal":{"name":"Journal of musculoskeletal & neuronal interactions","volume":"25 4","pages":"476-485"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12684268/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145648997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
