Intra-articular injection of hUC-MSCs expressing miR-140-5p induces cartilage self-repairing in the rat osteoarthritis

Abstract Introduction Currently, osteoarthritis (OA) receives global increasing attention because it associates severe joint pain and serious disability. Stem cells intra-articular injection therapy showed a potential therapeutic superiority to reduce OA development and to improve treating outputs. However, the long-term effect of stem cells intra-articular injection on the cartilage regeneration remains unclear. Recently, miR-140-5p...

18 F-NaF-PET/CT in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and brown tumors

Abstract Introduction Brown tumors (BT) are non-neoplastic bone lesions infrequently occurring in patients with long-standing severe hyperparathyroidism (HPT). BT may be identified and characterized using 18-F-sodium fluoride-positron-emission-tomography/computed tomography (18F-NaF-PET/CT). We present a retrospective series of eight primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) patients with BT imaged with 18F-NaF-PET/CT. ...
