Thickness of the plantar fascia in asymptomatic subjects

open access: yesJournal of Medical Ultrasound, 2019
The objectives of this study are to determine the average and extreme values of the thickness of plantar fascia (PF) and to evaluate its correlations with anthropometric parameters and walking activity.Analytic study of 226 feet. On these feet, the thickness of the PF was measured on ultrasound; and its correlation with the age, height, weight, body ...

A Multidimensional Engineering Strategy Reprograms Microglia via Targeted and Sustained‐Release Extracellular Vesicles for Spinal Cord Injury Repair

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A multifunctional EV‐based nanoplatform (Ang‐TEVs@Gel) was engineered via preconditioning, surface targeting, and ROS‐responsive hydrogel encapsulation to reprogram microglia. This system restored autophagy via miR‐664a‐3p/PIK3CA axis, cleared myelin debris, resolved neuroinflammation, and promoted axon remyelination, ultimately achieving robust motor ...

Sonoelastographic evaluation of plantar fascia in patients with plantar fasciitis: A case–control study

open access: yesAsian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022
Background: Plantar fascitis causes heel pain and the thickened fascia has specific morphological features that can be utilized for early diagnosis through sonoelastographic evaluation.

Arterial Perivascular Space‐Mediated Solute Transport in the Mouse Brain

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
The mechanisms underlying solute clearance from the brain parenchyma remain debated, with competing hypotheses involving bulk cerebrospinal fluid flow versus perivascular transport. Using multimodal in vivo imaging and computational modeling in mice, this study demonstrates that arterial pulsation drives bidirectional solute movement within the ...

Inhibition of leucine‐rich kinase 2 (LRRK2) promotes peripheral axon regeneration via phosphorylation‐network remodelling

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose In contrast to neurons in the central nervous system, neurons in the peripheral nervous system can regenerate axons after injury via activation of a pro‐regenerative transcriptional programme. Pathogenic mutations in leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are the most common genetic cause of Parkinson's disease, and several small ...

Two Novel ACTC1 Variants Cause Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita

open access: yesClinical Genetics, EarlyView.
We report on two individuals with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita who were heterozygous for ACTC1 missense variants (NM_005159.5; c.325G>A, p.Glu109Lys and c.650A>C, p.Lys217Thr) and provide a characterization of these variants through in vitro studies.

Noninvasive in Vivo Study of the Morphology and Mechanical Properties of Plantar Fascia Based on Ultrasound

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
The overall distributions of the plantar fascia thickness and Young's modulus in the ten subjects were systematically investigated in this paper using two-dimensional ultrasound and shear wave elastography (SWE). The statistical analyses showed that ICC1,

Cumulative effects of lifelong systemic excess growth hormone on postcranial skeletal morphology in adult mice

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Our μCT‐based pilot study reveals size and shape disparity in the adult postcranial skeleton of growth‐hormone model (bGH) mice relative to wild‐type mice. bGH mice have larger and more sexually dimorphic bones, with a systemic radiodensity increase in bony sesamoids and associated, but typically uncalcified, soft tissues.
