Infection has been a major issue in both the modalities. Advancement in metallurgy using silver coated megaprosthesis also failed to provide strong evidence in preventing infection. The functional outcome is better with APC in both the upper and lower limbs. However, the survivorship is better with megaprosthesis, especially in the upper limb when revision rates were compared between the two modalities. Deep infection and mechanical complications were significantly higher in the APC group. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of amputation rate, mortality, and local recurrence.

Throwing athletes are vulnerable to elbow injuries, especially in the medial elbow, related to high stress and valgus load in both acute and chronic settings as a result of this complex biomechanical action. This current review details the relevant anatomy and imaging features of common elbow pathology identified with radiographs and MRI in throwing athletes.
Although elbow pathology in throwing athletes is well documented, advances in imaging technology and technique, particularly with MRI, have allowed for more detailed and accurate imaging description and diagnosis. Pathology of thrower's elbow occurs in predictable patterns and can be reliably identified radiologically. Clinical history and physical examination should guide radiologic evaluation initially with radiographs and followed by an MRI optimized to the clinical question. Constellation of clinical, physical, and radiologic assessments should be used to guide management.

In recent years, three-dimensional (3D)-printing of tissue-engineered cartilaginous scaffolds is intended to close the surgical gap and provide bio-printed tissue designed to fit the specific geometric and functional requirements of each cartilage defect, avoiding donor site morbidity and offering a personalizing therapy.
To investigate the role of 3D-bioprinting scaffolding for nasal cartilage defects repair a systematic review of the electronic databases for 3D-Bioprinting articles pertaining to nasal cartilage bio-modelling was performed. The primary focus was to investigate cellular source, type of scaffold utilization, biochemical evaluation, histological analysis, in-vitro study, in-vivo study, animal model used, length of research, and placement of experimental construct and translational investigation.
From 1011 publications, 16 studies were kept for analysis. Chroman 1 mouse About cellular sources described, most studies used primary chondrocyte cultures. The cartilage used for cell isolation was mostly nasal er investigations are needed due to the heterogeneity on mechanical evaluation parameters, the high level of heterotopic scaffold implantation and the need for quantitative histological data.
The role of 3D-bioprinting scaffolding for nasal cartilage defects repair is growing field. Despite the amount of information collected in the last years and the first surgical applications described recently in humans. Further investigations are needed due to the heterogeneity on mechanical evaluation parameters, the high level of heterotopic scaffold implantation and the need for quantitative histological data.The aim of this trial is to evaluate the utility of rituximab-bendamustine (R-B) for untreated advanced follicular lymphoma (FL) showing non-optimal response (nOR) to R-CHOP, and to identify clinical prognostic factors for FL patients receiving R-B. Patients who failed to achieve complete response/complete response unconfirmed (CR/CRu) [nOR-group] after 2 cycles of R-CHOP subsequently received 6 cycles of R-B. The primary endpoint was the 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate. Secondary endpoints included determination of prognostic factors. Fifty-six patients initially received R-CHOP, 43/56 patients (76.8%) were judged as nOR, and 33/43 patients (76.7%) completed 6 cycles of R-B. At a median follow-up of 50.6 months in the nOR-group, the 3-year PFS rate was 69.0%, and the 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was 92.7%. The most common toxicities associated with R-B were grade 3-4 lymphopenia (93.0%) and neutropenia (74.4%), both of which were manageable. A multivariate analysis including dose intensity, serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor, and FL international prognostic index-2 revealed low absolute lymphocyte count ( less then 869/μL) at diagnosis was an independent poor prognostic factor for both PFS and OS in the R-B-treated nOR-group. This result was further confirmed in validation cohorts including R-B-treated de novo (n = 40) and relapsed (n = 49) FL patients.A new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has been identified as the etiologic agent for the COVID-19 outbreak. Currently, effective treatment options remain very limited for this disease; therefore, there is an urgent need to identify new anti-COVID-19 agents. In this study, we screened over 6,000 compounds that included approved drugs, drug candidates in clinical trials, and pharmacologically active compounds to identify leads that target the SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PLpro). Together with main protease (Mpro), PLpro is responsible for processing the viral replicase polyprotein into functional units. Therefore, it is an attractive target for antiviral drug development. Here we discovered four compounds, YM155, cryptotanshinone, tanshinone I and GRL0617 that inhibit SARS-CoV-2 PLpro with IC50 values ranging from 1.39 to 5.63 μmol/L. These compounds also exhibit strong antiviral activities in cell-based assays. YM155, an anticancer drug candidate in clinical trials, has the most potent antiviral activity with an EC50 value of 170 nmol/L.
