Do men and Women Demonstrate Differences in Early Functional Recovery After Total Knee Arthroplasty?
Sex affected early recovery of muscle and physical function in the first month after TKA. Women demonstrated better preservation of quadriceps strength but a greater decline on measures of physical function than did men.
C/EBPbeta transactivates p57(Kip2) to promote transition from proliferation to hypertrophic differentiation of chondrocytes during endochondral ossification, suggesting that the C/EBPbeta-p57(Kip2) signal would be a therapeutic target of skeletal disorders like growth retardation and osteoarthritis.
