Secondary Subacromial Impingement after Valgus Closing-Wedge Osteotomy for Proximal Humerus Varus by Hirotaka Sano, Masayuki Kamimura, Akira Oizumi, Shuji Isefuku

“…However, the patient complained from a sharp pain with a clicking sound during shoulder abduction even after removal of the locking plate. Since subacromial steroid injection temporarily relieved his shoulder pain, we assumed that the secondary subacromial impingement was provoked after osteotomy. …”

Targeted In Situ Gene Correction of Dysfunctional APOE Alleles to Produce Atheroprotective Plasma ApoE3 Protein by Ioannis Papaioannou, J. Paul Simons, James S. Owen

“…In particular, we discuss the possibility and potential benefit of applying in combination two technical advances to repair aberrant APOE genes: (i) an engineered endonuclease to introduce a double-strand break (DSB) in exon 4, which contains the common, but dysfunctional, ε2 and ε4 alleles; (ii) an efficient and selectable template for homologous recombination (HR) repair, namely, an adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector, which harbours wild-type APOE sequence. …”

Comprehensive Insight of Neurodegenerative Diseases and The Role of Neurotoxin Agents — Glutamate by Hui-Min Yap, Kwan-Liang Lye, Loh Teng-Hern Tan

“…Studies showed excessive extracellular glutamate leads to nerve cell death via the activation of N-methyl-Daspartate (NMDA) receptors in the cases of trauma or stroke. Whereas non-receptor mediated oxidative toxicity involved the breakdown of the cystine/glutamate antiporter (xc - ) mechanism, which leads to the depletion of glutathione (GSH) and causes oxidative stress and cell death. …”

Sustained and Efficient Delivery of Antivascular Endothelial Growth Factor by the Adeno-associated Virus for the Treatment of Corneal Neovascularization: An Outlook for Its Clinica... by Mengzhen Xie, Lixiang Wang, Yingping Deng, Ke Ma, Hongbo Yin, Xiaolan Zhang, Xingye Xiang, Jing Tang

“…Like retina neovascular diseases, corneal neovascularization also suffers from chronicity and a high risk of recurrence, necessitating sustained and efficient delivery across the epithelial barrier to reach deep layers of the corneal stroma. Among the explored methods, adeno-associated virus-mediated delivery of anti-VEGF to treat corneal neovascularization is the most extensively researched and most promising strategy for clinical translation although currently although, it remains predominantly at the preclinical stage. …”
