Published: June 2016

Background:

Osteoarthritis adversely impacts hip arthroscopy outcomes. The purpose of this study was to conduct a matched-pair analysis with a mean follow-up of 2 years to evaluate the outcomes following hip arthroscopy in patients with Tönnis grade-2 osteoarthritis.

Methods:

Data were prospectively collected on all patients undergoing hip arthroscopy during the study period from April 2008 to December 2012. Patients were excluded if they had previous hip conditions. Patients were categorized into Tönnis grade-0, grade-1, or grade-2 osteoarthritis groups and were matched in a 1:1 ratio according to age within 5 years, sex, and body mass index. Four patient-reported outcome scores, a visual analog scale (VAS) score for pain, patient satisfaction level, and rates of revision hip arthroscopy and conversion to total hip arthroplasty were recorded.

Results:

During the study period, 1,412 hip arthroscopies were performed. Of those, 1,079 satisfied the inclusion criteria, and 935 (86.7%) of them had a follow-up of 2 years. Seven hundred and thirty-eight, 154, and 43 patients had Tönnis grade-0, grade-1, and grade-2 osteoarthritis, respectively. Thirty-seven patients were matched in each group. All groups demonstrated a significant improvement in patient-reported outcomes and VAS scores. A good-to-excellent result was seen in 69.7%, 75.8%, and 65.4% of the patients in the Tönnis grade-0, grade-1, and grade-2 groups, respectively. No significant difference among the groups was found with respect to the mean change in patient-reported outcomes, VAS scores, and patient satisfaction level. There was no significant difference in the rate of revision arthroscopy. Tönnis grade-2 hips had an odds ratio for conversion to total hip arthroplasty of 7.73 (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.00 to 29.83) compared with Tönnis grade-0 hips and 4.36 (95% CI, 1.38 to 13.4) compared with Tönnis grade-1 hips.

Conclusions:

Hips with Tönnis grade-2 osteoarthritis had a significantly higher rate of conversion to total hip arthroplasty at the 2-year follow-up compared with matched cohorts of Tönnis grade-0 and grade-1 hips. Thus, hip arthroscopy has a limited role as a joint preservation procedure in select patients with Tönnis grade-2 osteoarthritis.

Authors: Verburg Hennie , Mathijssen Nina M.C. , Niesten Dieu-Donné , Verhaar Jan A.N. , Pilot Peter
Published: June 2016

Background:

The main objective of this prospective randomized study was to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of the mini-midvastus (MMV) approach with the conventional approach for total knee arthroplasty at the 5-year follow-up.

Methods:

Ninety-seven patients (100 knees) with osteoarthritis were assigned to the MMV group or to a group receiving conventional total knee arthroplasty. Intraoperative and postoperative clinical data were collected. At 6 weeks and at 1, 2, and 5 years postoperatively, the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), the Oxford Knee Score (OKS), the Knee Society Score (KSS), and the Short Form (SF)-12 were completed. Radiographs of the knee were made preoperatively and at 1 day and 1 and 5 years postoperatively. Computed tomography (CT) scans were performed 2 years postoperatively.

Results:

In the MMV group, the mean skin incision was 2.5 cm shorter (p < 0.001) and the mean duration of the operation was 6 minutes longer than in the conventional total knee arthroplasty group (p < 0.05). Eight patients in the conventional group had a lateral parapatellar retinacular release compared with 1 in the MMV group; the difference was significant (p = 0.01). Three intraoperative complications, including 2 small lateral femoral condylar fractures and 1 partial patellar tendon laceration, occurred in the MMV group. Seven patients in the MMV group had postoperative blisters; all of them had a relatively large femoral component and 4 of them were large men. The radiographs and CT scans of the prostheses showed no significant differences between the MMV and conventional groups except for the posterior slope of the tibial component. In addition, no significance differences were detected between the groups with respect to the KOOS, OKS, KSS, and SF-12 scores determined at the 6-week and the 1, 2, and 5-year follow-up evaluations.

Conclusions:

In the rehabilitation period and at the short and mid-term follow-up, no relevant clinical and radiographic differences were found between the MMV and the conventional approach for total knee arthroplasty, making the advantage of MMV total knee arthroplasty cosmetic. We discourage the use of the MMV approach in large male patients because of the increased number of intraoperative complications and skin blisters postoperatively.

Intraoperative Monitoring of Epiphyseal Perfusion in Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis
Authors: Schrader Tim , Jones Christopher R. , Kaufman Adam M. , Herzog Mackenzie M.
Published: June 2016

Background:

The purposes of this study were to validate an innovative, percutaneous method of monitoring femoral head (epiphyseal) perfusion intraoperatively in patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) and to investigate an association between intraoperative perfusion and the subsequent development of osteonecrosis.

Methods:

A percutaneous screw fixation technique for SCFE was utilized. A fully threaded, cannulated, stainless-steel 7.0-mm screw was inserted into the epiphysis. The guidewire was removed, and a sterile intracranial pressure (ICP) probe was placed through the screw such that the tip was in the epiphyseal bone past the end of the screw. Intraoperative epiphyseal pressure and waveform were recorded. A prospective analysis of patients undergoing percutaneous screw fixation for unstable or stable SCFE or for prophylactic treatment with the use of this technique to evaluate femoral head perfusion was performed.

Results:

This technique was used in 23 patients (29 hips, including 15 hips with unstable SCFE, 11 with stable SCFE, and 3 treated prophylactically). Three hips (2 with unstable SCFE and 1 treated prophylactically) in 2 patients were eliminated from the analysis because of technical problems with the ICP monitor. All hips with stable SCFE and the prophylactically treated hips had measurable pulsatile flow that was synchronous with the patient’s heart rate at the initial time of probe insertion. Seven patients (7 hips) with unstable SCFE had measurable, pulsatile flow with initial insertion of the probe, and 6 patients (6 hips) with unstable SCFE had no measurable flow. We were able to demonstrate perfusion following a percutaneous capsular decompression in the patients with no initial flow. All patients left the operating room with measurable femoral head blood flow. At a mean follow-up of 1.6 years for hips with stable SCFE and 2.0 years for those with unstable SCFE, no hip subsequently developed radiographic evidence of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. No complications from the use of the ICP monitor occurred.

Conclusions:

Femoral head perfusion in patients with SCFE can be measured intraoperatively using this technique. Demonstrating femoral head perfusion before leaving the operating room was associated with the absence of osteonecrosis postoperatively.

Authors: Crespo Roberto J. , Wingeyer Ana B. , Borman Christopher J. , Bernards Mark L.
Published: June 2016

The development of dicamba (3,6‐dichloro‐2‐methoxybenzoic acid)‐ and 2,4‐D [(2,4‐dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid]‐resistant soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] will increase the frequency of applying these herbicides to control broadleaf weeds in soybean production systems. We evaluated the sensitivity of randomly selected waterhemp [Amaranthus tuberculatus (Moq.) Sauer var. rudis (Sauer) Costea and Tardif] and Palmer amaranth (Amaranthuspalmeri S. Wats) populations to a single dose of dicamba and 2,4‐D. Selected populations were then used in dicamba and 2,4‐D dose‐response experiments to evaluate: (i) visual injury at 28 d after treatment; and (ii) plant survival, biomass accumulation, and flowering at 84 DAT. Across selected populations, the estimated dicamba dose for 50% visual injury (I50) was below the recommended field rate (560 g ha−1) and ranged between 59 and 117 g ha−1 for waterhemp and 43 and 81 g ha−1 for Palmer amaranth populations. The estimated 2,4‐D dose for I50 was also below the recommended field rate (800 g ha−1) and ranged between 127 and 242 g ha−1 for waterhemp and 127 and 196 g ha−1 for Palmer amaranth. Waterhemp plants flowered with up to 560 g ha−1 dicamba and 2240 g ha−1 2,4‐D, while Palmer amaranth plants flowered with up to 280 g ha−1 dicamba, and 1120 g ha−1 2,4‐D. Individual plants will likely survive and flower following recommended field rates of dicamba (waterhemp) and 2,4‐D (both species). Close monitoring of weed populations are needed for the stewardship of available weed management technologies.

Core Ideas

We conducted a state‐wide baseline study of auxinic herbicide sensitivity in randomly selected waterhemp and Palmer amaranth populations.

Individual plants of both species will likely survive and flower after field rates of dicamba and/or 2,4‐D.

Close monitoring of weed populations and continuous update of best management practices are needed for the stewardship of available weed management technologies.

This study sets a benchmark to detect shifting in sensitivities to dicamba or 2,4‐D after resistant crops are released.

Published: June 2016

Looming labor shortages and lower efficiency demand a shift from the cultivation of seedlings via the traditional nutritive soil method (CK) to hydroponically grown long‐mat seedlings (HLMS), a new method of raising rice (Oriza sativa L.) seedlings. This study was conducted to investigate the seedling quality and field growth characteristics of HLMS. We examined the effect of HLMS on seedling quality, mechanical transplantation quality, field growth characteristics, yield and benefit/cost ratio compared with those of CK (as a control). A widely grown conventional japonica rice cultivar (Wuyunjing24) and an indica hybrid rice cultivar (6Liangyou9368) were used as test material. The HLMS and CK showed no significant differences in weight/height ratio, seedling emergence rate, N content of leaves or antioxidant enzyme activities after transplantation; however, HLMS exhibited a more vigorous root system, a significantly decreased leaf area index and an extended transplantation period. The mechanical transplantation quality of HLMS was similar to that of CK but showed a significantly improved force of root entanglement. Compared with CK, the dry matter accumulation of HLMS differed quite low at the early field growth stage, whereas increased rapidly at the late growth stage. The yield and benefit/cost ratio of HLMS were equivalent or superior to those of CK. Briefly, the seedling quality of HLMS was better than that of the control, and its mechanical transplantation quality was comparable to that of the CK, enabling high‐yield and high‐efficiency rice production.

Core Ideas

Hydroponically grown long‐mat rice seedlings is a novel seedling cultivation method that reduces labor costs and improves efficiency.

The force of root entanglement of hydroponically grown long‐mat rice seedlings was significantly improved.

The yield and benefit/cost ratio of hydroponically grown long‐mat rice seedlings were equivalent or superior to those of the control.

Published: June 2016

Genetic gains play important roles in crop yield improvement. This study used the observation data from two cultivar test sites under limited irrigation and without irrigation for 11 seasons from 2002 to 2013 in the North China Plain (NCP) to examine the yield and yield characters of newly released winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars as compared with the control (CK). Large seasonal yield variation of – 40 to 37% was observed due to the fluctuations in the weather condition. The average yield of newly released cultivars (NRs) was similar to that of the same control cultivar at the two sites during the 11 seasons, indicating that NRs had characters that responded to seasonal weather variation similarly and they might not be better in offsetting the negative climatic effects on grain production as compared with the CK. However, there were always cultivars that out‐performed the control in yield around 10% for the 11 seasons, indicating the possible genetic gains in using new cultivars. The number of seeds per area played a critical role in determining the final yield of winter wheat, which was significantly affected by the weather conditions during the seedling and vegetative growing stages. Selecting cultivars with high vitality at seedling stage was important in this region. Under rain‐fed conditions, the significant positive correlation (P < 0.01) of percentage of the roots in deep soil with the final yield indicated the selection and breeding for root traits could result in a yield benefit.

Two sites of cultivar test was used to analyse the possible genetic gains.

Average yield of new released cultivars was the same with the control cultivar.

Cultivars performed better usually had a higher seed numbers per area.

Cultivars performed better under rain‐fed condition had a prolific root system.

Weather factors of temperature and sunshine hours being significantly related to yield.
Heterosis and Genetic Variance in Soybean Recombinant Inbred Line Populations
Authors: Friedrichs Martin R. , Burton Joseph W. , Brownie Cavell
Published: June 2016

One of the greatest challenges in plant breeding is the selection of parental combinations that will produce progeny that are superior to either parent. The objective of this research was to determine if yield heterosis in the F2 bulk of a soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] single cross is a predictor of significant genetic variance for yield and superior line yields among random inbred lines derived from the F2 generation. In one experiment, thirty‐seven F6:7 inbred lines from each of five bi‐parental populations along with parents and the bulk F2 generation were yield tested at three locations. Of the five populations, three had significant genotypic variance for yield. The only two transgressive segregating lines came from the population with the greatest genotypic variation for yield and the only one with mid‐parent F2 yield heterosis (15% at P > 0.06). In another experiment, random inbred lines were derived from four single crosses chosen from a seven parent half diallel cross with similar mid‐parent yields. Two exhibited F2 yield heterosis and two did not. Derived F5:6 lines were yield tested in three environments. After adjustment for maturity, both populations derived from the non‐heterotic crosses had zero genetic variation. Genetic variance estimates for the two populations derived from heterotic crosses were larger than their standard errors and significant at P > Z = 0.07 and P > Z = 0.05. These experiments provide evidence that F2 bulk heterosis can be a predictor of significant genetic variation among inbred soybean lines derived from a single cross.
Soil Color and US Northeast Aquods
Authors: Stolt Mark H. , Rabenhorst Martin C. , Ghabbour Elham A. , Davies Geoffrey
Published: June 2016

Core Ideas

Identifying hydric soils and depth to seasonal high water table is difficult in Spodosols.

The specific criteria for classifying wet Spodosols need to change.

Extractable Fe does not appear to contribute to the red color of wet Spodosols.

An interaction between Al and humic substances may possibly contribute to the redder hues.

Aquods commonly occur in wetland settings across a range of temperature regimes. Understanding their morphologies is critical to developing effective hydric soil indicators. In this study, we examined a range of wet Spodosols of the northeastern United States. We tested whether the red hues associated with wet spodic horizons are a function of humic (HA) and fulvic acids (FA) or Fe, and addressed questions related to hydric soil indicators, horizon designation, and soil classification. Only two of the 11 seasonally saturated Spodosols met current criteria for Aquods. Almost all of the 24 Bh, Bhs, or Bhsm horizons had 3 to 10 times more ammonium oxalate extractable Al than Fe (mean Fe was <0.15%), yet only three pedons met the current criteria for “Al” great groups. We found no consistently applied color or sesquioxide content criteria for separating Bh from Bhs horizons. These results suggest that criteria for horizon designation and classification of Aquods need to be reconsidered. There were no relationships between extractable Fe and hue (p = 0.50). Weak correlation coefficients (−0.40 and −0.39; p = 0.051 and 0.057) between hue and FA and HA suggest little support for red hues being primarily a function of HA or FA. The significant relationship between Al and hue (−0.46; p = 0.025) and the strong correlation between Al and both HA and FA (0.87 and 0.86; p < 0.001) suggest a possible interaction between Al and the humic substances resulting in redder hues. We found more than twice as much HA in the spodic horizons as FA and concluded that FA is the precursor of HA in US Northeast spodic horizons.

Data used in this study were a time series of the year 2008-2012. The analytical method used was the growth formula and Trade Specialization Index. Based on the trade balance, the value of Indonesian exports, both oil and non-oil, the United States has a surplus and vice versa. In other words, the United States includes a country of Indonesia's main export, in addition to Japan and China. Value of Trade Specialization Index for both oil and non-oil exports is positive above 0 to 1, then the oil and non-oil commodities have strong competitiveness. Indonesia is likely as a means exporter of the commodity. However, based on 10 major Indonesian export commodities to the United States, as the largest foreign exchange earner for textile examples and textile products, footwear industries, electronic products, furniture, as well as horticultural commodities, is threatened lethargic, because shutdown policy decisions on the government services were feared to reduce consumption of the American people’s imported products.
