One-hundred and forty patients with an ACL injury were randomized to IL or CL ACLR. Patients were assessed at 6, 12 and 24months with isokinetic and isometric muscle strength measured using Biodex. Patient-reported outcomes and manual stability measurements were also recorded. Patient-related outcomes improved over time for both groups with no significant differences between groups at any time point. No differences between groups in objective knee assessment scores or rerupture rates were found. The IL group was significantly weaker in knee flexion strength at all time points compared to the CL group, additionally the IL group did not recover flexor strength within 2years. This study demonstrated that utilizing anST graft harvested from the uninjured limb for ACLR facilitates early isokinetic and isometric strength recovery, with no significant adverse outcomes demonstrated in other measurements and therefore be performed to reduce the risk of long-term strength deficits in the injured leg LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II.

However, the role and mechanism of AGAP2-AS1 in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) remain unclear. Thus, in this study, we aimed to explore the role of AGAP2-AS1 in PTC. Our results showed that AGAP2-AS1 was significantly upregulated in PTC tissues. Knockdown of AGAP2-AS1 inhibited the proliferation,
