Hemodynamics plays a key role in the natural history of intracranial aneurysms (IAs). However, studies exploring the association between aneurysmal hemodynamics and the biological and mechanical characteristics of the IA wall in humans are sparse. In this review, we survey the current body of literature, summarize the studies' methodologies and findings, and assess the degree of consensus among them. We used PubMed to perform a systematic review of studies that explored the association between hemodynamics and human IA wall features using different sources. We identified 28 publications characterizing aneurysmal flow and the IA wall 4 using resected tissues, 17 using intraoperative images, and 7 using vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Based on correlation to IA tissue, higher flow conditions, such as high wall shear stress (WSS) with complex pattern and elevated pressure, were associated with degenerated walls and collagens with unphysiological orientation and faster synthesis. MRI studies strongly supported that low flow, characterized by low WSS and high blood residence time, was associated with thicker walls and post-contrast enhancement. While significant discrepancies were found among those utilized intraoperative images, they generally supported that thicker walls coexist at regions with prolonged residence time and that thinner regions are mainly exposed to higher pressure with complex WSS patterns. The current body of literature supports a theory of two general hemodynamic-biologic mechanisms for IA development. One, where low flow conditions are associated with thickening and atherosclerotic-like remodeling, and the other where high and impinging flow conditions are related to wall degeneration, thinning, and collagen remodeling. The purpose of this prospective case-control study is to investigate the relationship between quadriceps fat pad syndrome (QFPS) and patellofemoral morphology. Twenty-two patients with QFPS and 22 age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers were included. The diagnosis of QFPS was supported both clinically and radiologically. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), patellofemoral morphology was evaluated with 13 radiological measurements including trochlear sulcus angle, trochlear sulcus depth, trochlear facet asymmetry, trochlear condyle asymmetry, lateral trochlear inclination angle, patellar translation, tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, Insall-Salvati ratio, patellotrochlear index, patellar tilt, the ratio between lateral and medial facet lengths, interfacet angle, and quadriceps tendon thickness. The mean of measurements was compared between groups using the Mann-Whitney U test. There were 22 patients (12 male, 10 female) with mean age of 30.81 ± 1.41 (range 19-38)years in group I and 22 patients (12 male, 10 female) with mean age of 31.13 ± 1.31 (range 19-39) years in group II. The mean age and the gender distribution were statistically similar between groups (p=0.845, p=1, respectively). All measured values except for patellar tilt (p=0.038) and TT-TG distance (p=0.004) were similar (p > 0.05 for the other variables). However, all of the measured variables were within the normal range. QFPS may not be associated with anatomical variations of the patellofemoral joint. Further studies are required to understand the etiology and risk factors. Level III, prospective case-control study.Level III, prospective case-control study. The plant-specific valine-glutamine (VQ) protein family with the conserved motif FxxxVQxLTG reportedly functions with the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in plant immunity. However, the roles of VQ proteins in MAPK-mediated resistance to disease in rice remain largely unknown. In this study, two rice VQ proteins OsVQ14 and OsVQ32 were newly identified to function as the signaling components of a MAPK cascade, OsMPKK6-OsMPK4, to regulate rice resistance to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). Both OsVQ14 and OsVQ32 positively regulated rice resistance to Xoo. In vitro and in vivo studies revealed that OsVQ14 and OsVQ32 physically interacted with and were phosphorylated by OsMPK4. OsMPK4 was highly phosphorylated in transgenic plants overexpressing OsMPKK6, which showed enhanced resistance to Xoo. Meanwhile, phosphorylated OsVQ14 and OsVQ32 were also markedly accumulated in OsMPKK6-overexpressing transgenic plants. We discovered that OsVQ14 and OsVQ32 functioned as substrates of the OsMPKK6-OsMPK4 cascade to enhance rice resistance to Xoo, thereby defining a more complete signal transduction pathway for induced defenses.We discovered that OsVQ14 and OsVQ32 functioned as substrates of the OsMPKK6-OsMPK4 cascade to enhance rice resistance to Xoo, thereby defining a more complete signal transduction pathway for induced defenses. Dental injuries (DIs) are associated with facial fractures, particularly mandibular fractures. As paediatric mandibular fractures have special features, we sought to clarify the occurrence and types of DIs among this patient group. We assessed how age, injury type, and fracture location affects the occurrence of DIs and thereby defined which patients are most susceptible. This retrospective study included patients < 18years with a recent mandibular fracture. Predictor variables were gender, age group, mechanism of injury, type of mandibular fracture, and other associated facial fracture(s). Types and locations of DIs and tooth loss due to injury were also reported. DIs were detected in 34.7% (n = 41) out of 118 patients. click here Patients with tooth injury had on average 3.5 injured teeth. A total of 16.2% of injured teeth were lost, typically at the time of the injury. Loss of at least one tooth was seen in approximately 10% of patients. Avulsion was the most common cause of tooth loss (52.2%). Non-complicated crown fracture (50.7%) was the most common DI type. Statistically significant associations between studied variables and DIs were not detected. DIs are common and often multiple in paediatric mandibular fracture patients regardless of background factors. DIs often lead to tooth loss. Prompt replantation of an avulsed tooth, early detection of DIs, and prevention of tooth loss whenever possible are important to avoid permanent tooth defects.DIs are common and often multiple in paediatric mandibular fracture patients regardless of background factors.
