Conversion to Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty with and without Humeral Stem Retention: The Role of a Convertible-Platform Stem
Authors: Crosby Lynn A. , Wright Thomas W. , Yu Stephen , Zuckerman Joseph D.
Published: May 2017

Background:

Revision shoulder arthroplasty is a technically challenging procedure. It is associated with increased blood loss and operative time, and it frequently necessitates revision implants, augments, and bone-grafting. Shoulder arthroplasty systems with a convertible-platform humeral stem have been developed to reduce the complexity of revision procedures by eliminating the need for humeral component explantation when converting from anatomic shoulder arthroplasty (hemiarthroplasty or total shoulder arthroplasty) to reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA).

Methods:

A multicenter, retrospective analysis involving 102 consecutive shoulders (102 patients) that underwent revision of an anatomic shoulder arthroplasty to an rTSA was conducted. During the revision, 73 of the shoulders needed exchange of the humeral stem (the exchange group) and 29 had retention of a convertible-platform humeral component (the retention group). Patient demographics, operative time, blood management, range of motion, complications, and patient-reported outcomes were compared between the 2 groups.

Results:

Patients with retention had significantly shorter operative time (mean and standard deviation, 130 ± 48 versus 195 ± 58 minutes; p < 0.001) and lower estimated blood loss (292 ± 118 versus 492 ± 334 mL; p = 0.034). The rate of intraoperative complications was lower in the retention group (0% versus 15%; p = 0.027). Patients with retention had slightly better postoperative range of motion (active external rotation, 26° ± 23° versus 11° ± 23° [p = 0.006]; active forward elevation, 112° ± 37° versus 96° ± 33° [p = 0.055]).

Conclusions:

Shoulder arthroplasty systems that utilize a convertible-platform humeral stem offer an advantage for rTSA conversion in that a well-fixed, well-positioned humeral stem can be retained. There were significantly fewer complications as well as significantly decreased blood loss and operative time when a convertible-platform stem was utilized (p < 0.050).

Intramedullary Nailing for Atypical Femoral Fracture with Excessive Anterolateral Bowing
Authors: Park Young-Chang , Song Hyung-Keun , Zheng Xuan-Lin , Yang Kyu-Hyun
Published: May 2017

Background:

Intramedullary nailing is the treatment of choice for atypical femoral fractures. However, several problems, such as iatrogenic fracture and medial gap opening, can occur during intramedullary nailing when atypical femoral fractures are associated with excessive anterolateral bowing. To overcome these problems, we have developed a new grading system for anterolateral femoral bowing and a new technique for intramedullary nailing. The core of this new technique is matching the anterior curvature of the femoral nail with the anterolateral bowing of the femur when the nail passes the apex of the curvature, by rotating the nail externally.

Methods:

From January 2005 through March 2016, 24 female patients (30 cases) who underwent a surgical procedure for atypical femoral fracture with anterolateral bowing at 2 institutes were evaluated. The postoperative outcomes (anterolateral bowing grade, anterior and lateral bowing angles, medial gap and posterior gap of the fracture site, iatrogenic fracture, and time to initial medial callus formation and osseous union) were compared between the new technique (18 cases) and the conventional technique (12 cases).

Results:

With regard to the reliability of the new grading system, the interobserver and intraobserver reliability of the new grading system demonstrated an almost perfect agreement (kappainter = 0.893, kappaintra = 0.883). For patients with complete fractures, the differences between the preoperative and postoperative anterior and lateral bowing angles were significantly less (p = 0.013 for both) in the new technique group. The medial and posterior gaps at the fracture site were also significantly less in the new technique group (p = 0.013 for the medial gaps and p = 0.022 for the posterior gaps). Iatrogenic fracture occurred only in the conventional technique group, affecting 2 cases. The time to initial medial callus formation was significantly shorter (p = 0.033) in the new technique group compared with the conventional technique group.

Conclusions:

Our new grading system for anterolateral femoral bowing is convenient and reliable. Furthermore, the new intramedullary nailing technique with the current intramedullary nail system is appropriate for the repair of atypical femoral fractures with excessive anterolateral bowing.

Authors: Chen Fengquan , Liu Chunxi , Zhang Jian , Xu Wenfang , Zhang Yingjie
Published: May 2017

The Cyclin-Dependent Kinases (CDKs) and their cyclin partners are key regulators of the cell cycle.
These kinases are closely related to oncogenesis and have been proved to be attractive targets for designing
novel anticancer agents. The CDK inhibitors can effectively suppress the excessive proliferation of tumor cells
by inducing cell cycle arrest. In recent years, a large number of CDK inhibitors have entered pre-clinical and/or
clinical trials. Among these compounds, the selective CDK4/6 inhibitor Palbociclib has been approved by FDA
for breast cancer treatment. Moreover, Palbociclib demonstrated promising antitumor potential as monotherapy
or combined therapy in numerous clinical trials. Herein, we provide a brief review focused on the recent progress
of clinical studies about Palbociclib.

Published: May 2017

Myrsine africana L. (Family Myrsinaceae) commonly known as mirting, is an evergreen shrub found wildly in tropical Asia to Africa. The plant has been traditionally used to treat various diseases and extensively used in folk medicine. The reported literature reveals that there is no pharmacological activities carried out on the fruits of M. africana in order to validate its traditional claim. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity of methanolic and hydro-alcoholic extracts of fruits of M. africana at a dose level of 100, 200 and 500 mg/kg. The safety of drug was evaluated by sub-acute toxicity study as per OECD guidelines. The anti-inflammatory activity was carried out by carrageenan induced paw edema model and analgesic activity was done by hot plate, tail flick and acetic acid induced writhing methods. The maximum per cent inhibition of paw edema was found to be 57% in hydro-alcoholic extract at a dose level of 500 mg/kg in carrageenan induced paw edema model as compared to the standard drug ibuprofen (74.6%). The average response time at the dose of 500 mg/kg in tail flick and hot plate models was found to be 6.6 ± 0.79 mins and 6.89 ± 0.17 mins (at 120 mins and 90 mins) respectively which is comparable with the standard drug. In acetic acid writhing test both the extracts showed significant reduction in writhes as compared to standard. The pharmacological activities were found to be dose dependent. The acute toxicity study confirmed the drug to be non-toxic and safe. So it has been observed that the fruit of M. africana has marked beneficial effects against centrally and peripherally inflammation models and can be used to treat various disorders associated with inflammation.

The study was undertaken to obtain the scientific evidence to the efficacious claim of the use of Jambrushila Tablet in the management of type-2 diabetes. The SD rats were divided into 4 groups: normal control, disease control, diseased treated with metformin (10 mg/kg) and diseased treated with Jambrushila Tablet (100 mg/kg). Type 2 diabetes was induced in male Sprague Dawley rats by feeding them a high-fat diet in combination streptozotocin (35 mg/kg). Treatment was given for a period of 4 weeks. Insulin resistant rats developed characteristic features with insulin resistance syndrome such as hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, glucose intolerance. Treatment with formulation and metformin exhibited significant decrease in body weight, serum glucose and insulin levels as compared to disease control rats. Following the administration of formulation and metformin, it was observed that there was an increase in HDL levels and decrease in the serum cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol and VLDL-cholesterol levels when compared to disease control group. The treatment also exhibited significant reduction in AUCglucose and AUCinsulin in oral glucose tolerance test. Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMAIR) and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) were found to be significantly improved without significant modification of fasting glucoses to insulin ratio (FGIR) and HOMA-β index. Our findings indicate that Jambrushila Tablet can be beneficial for treatment of hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia associated with type-2 diabetes.

Authors: Arsil Poppy , Li Elton , Bruwer Johan
Published: May 2017

This article utilizes and discusses specific aspects of Means-End Chain (MEC) analysis for understanding of the motives of Indonesian consumers who are involved in purchasing local foods. The MEC theory is used as a measure of attributes, consequences, and values of locally produced products involving specific aspects of this theory namely laddering methods of administration, content analysis procedure, constructing and interpreting Hierarchy Value Map (HVM). The results of the study indicate that MEC approach is a powerful method to reveal consumer motivation of local foods when associated with the various cultural groupings identified by the study particular between Javanese and Non-Javanese consumers. This study offers a practical implication and source of knowledge for other future studies and policies in term of (a) a new approach for understanding the motives behind purchasing local foods for Indonesia consumers, and (b) developing new categories of attributes, consequences and values of local foods.

Gerakan Sosial Baru Indonesia: Reformasi 1998 dan Proses Demokratisasi Indonesia
Authors: Prasisko Yongky Gigih
Published: May 2017

Perkembangan masyarakat kontemporer di Indonesia yang sejalan dengan perkembangan teknologi global ternyata juga ikut berdampak pada munculnya konflik sosial secara khusus. Konflik semacam itu melibatkan kelompok kelas menengah yang memiliki nilai-nilai demokrasi. Di sisi lain, konflik itu juga itu ikut membentuk dinamika di dalam pergerakan sosial baru. Gerakan sosial baru di Indonesia adalah anak kandung yang lahir dari sistem demokratis dimana partisipasi politik secara langsung dilakukan sehingga dapat mempengaruhi kebijakan publik, khususnya yang dapat menjawab tuntutan atas kesetaraan dan perlindungan bagi hak-hak minoritas. Reformasi 1998 memang menjadi landasan bagi arah pembentukan tradisi demokratis di Indonesia, meski demikian, membutuhkan waktu hampir enam tahun lamanya setelah 1998 dimana demokrasi secara langsung diterapkan melalui sistem elektoral yakni pada saat PILPRES di tahun 2004. Dengan kata lain, transisis Indonesia menuju suatu bangsa yang demokratis masih harus terus mengembangkan beragam bentuk partisipasi politik.

PERAN AGENSI BUDAYA DAN PRAKTIK MULTIKULTURALISME DI PERKAMPUNGAN BUDAYA BETAWI (PBB) SETU BABAKAN
Authors: Amanda Ariesta
Published: May 2017

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkritisi praktik rekacipta Perkampungan Budaya Betawi (PBB) Setu Babakan melalui agensi sosial yang terlibat dalam pengembangan Perkampungan Budaya Betawi Setu Babakan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Perkampungan Budaya Betawi merupakan hasil rekacipta politik yang dirancang oleh sekelompok elit Betawi dalam Lembaga Kebudayaan Betawi yang dimunculkan sebagai representasi masyarakat Betawi secara umum. Gagasan tersebut kemudian didukung oleh Pemerintah Daerah (Dinas Periwisata dan Kebudayaan) untuk perlindungan tradisi budaya Betawi. Namun dalam praktiknya terdapat kontradiksi atas kebijakan yang dikeluarkan pemerintah daerah dan aplikasi dalam praktik pengelolaan Perkampungan Budaya Betawi. Perkampungan Budaya Betawi Setu Babakan saat ini lebih difungsikan sebagai wisata budaya yang dikomodifikasikan oleh Pemerintah Daerah dengan dalih penyelamatan aset budaya daripada pemberdayaan eksistensi budaya Betawi bagi etnis Betawi itu sendiri. Peranan agensi sosial menunjukkan bahwa pengaruh elit Betawi berperan sebagai pengawas kebijakan dan pengembangan. Akibatnya, pengembangan Perkampungan Budaya Betawi Setu Babakan bersifat top-down dengan adanya dominasi pemerintah yang sangat tinggi.
Menuju Masyarakat Urban: Sejarah Pendatang di Kota Jakarta Pasca Kemerdekaan (1949-1970)
Authors: Candiwidoro Rahadian Ranakamuksa
Published: May 2017

Setelah kembalinya Ibukota Indonesia dari Yogyakarta ke Jakarta pada tahun 1949, kehidupan kota Jakarta berubah drastis. Telah terjadi pertumbuhan penduduk secara signifikan yang diakibatkan oleh perpindahan penduduk secara massal (urbanisasi) di Jakarta yang datang dari wilayah luar Jakarta. Para pendatang ini datang ke Jakarta untuk mencari kehidupan yang lebih layak karena Jakarta dianggap sebagai sebuah kota harapan. Periode 1949 hingga 1970 adalah periode yang penting untuk melihat betapa krusialnya pengaruh kedatangan para pendatang dalam membangun kota Jakarta sebagai sebuah kota metropolitan seperti sekarang ini. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode sejarah dengan menekankan pada analisis yang bersifat deskriptif untuk menjelaskan sejarah kota, yaitu Jakarta. Kajian ini menghasilkan tiga analisis sejarah mengenai pengaruh pendatang dalam pembentukan Jakarta sebagai kota metropolitan. Pertama adalah momentum sejarah dimana berlangsung gelombang pendatang baru yang komposisinya lebih beragam daripada masa sebelumnya sehingga mempengaruhi tingkat heterogenitas kota. Kedua adalah momentum sejarah yang menunjukkan perubahan gaya hidup dan cara adaptasi para pendatang ke dalam kehidupan masyarakat urban. Ketiga adalah transformasi sosial yang juga melahirkan adanya gentrifikasi dimana para pendatang mengalami kehidupan yang tidak layak sehingga melahirkan permasalahan social bagi kota Jakarta.

La Universidad de Buenos Aires y la interdisciplina
Authors: Hidalgo Cecilia
Published: May 2017

En este trabajo se repasan las distintas formas institucionales que adquirieron las iniciativas interdisciplinarias en la Universidad de Buenos Aires desde la vuelta al estado de derecho en Argentina en 1983. Entre tales iniciativas se destaca en primera instancia la experiencia interdisciplinaria desplegada por el Centro de Estudios Avanzados (cea). Se caracterizan las adecuaciones que con llevó en las universidades la orientación neoliberal del gobierno nacional en la década de 1990, donde la opción por la interdisciplina se articuló con la conformación de alianzas y redes de cooperación con sectores extrauniversitarios, tanto de la esfera empresarial privada como de instancias gubernamentales más amplias. Aún cuando el cea dejó de funcionar en 2003 como tal, se muestra que la promoción de la interacción interdisciplinaria ya no dejaría de figurar en la agenda de la uba, primero con la creación de los Programas Intersdisciplinarios de la ubay luego con su incorporación como variante específica de la programación regular del sistema de investigación científica de la Secretaría de Ciencia y Técnica de la universidad.

Filósofos como bibliotecarios: siglo IV a.C.-siglo XVIII d.C.
Authors: Martínez Musiño Celso , Maya Corzo Oscar
Published: May 2017

Ensayo descriptivo, cuyo objetivo es enumerar qué filósofos destacados del pensamiento occidental tuvieron una cercanía con las actividades de bibliotecario en un periodo que va del siglo iv a.c. al siglo xviii de nuestra era. El acercamiento al tema y a la metodología aplicada fue detonado por la serie La aventura del pensamiento, conducida por Fernando Savater. A partir de ésta, se procedió a la búsqueda de las biografías de los filósofos-bibliotecarios. Los resultados de la pesquisa acerca de los pensadores que tuvieron una participación en las bibliotecas son Aristóteles, Andrónico de Rodas, Leibniz, Hume y Kant. Como conclusión general es que sí hubo filósofos en el periodo analizado que tuvieron relación con las bibliotecas, tanto en la gestión de las mismas como en el análisis documental y la producción intelectual.
La curiosidad de conocer como un re ejo de las necesidades de conocimiento en las Confesiones de San Agustín: una reflexión
Authors: Calva González Juan José
Published: May 2017

De la obra Confesiones, escrita por San Agustín, se aborda una reflexión en lo concerniente al aspecto de la curiosidad. Se rescatan dos puntos importantes de la reflexión sobre el asunto: una de ellas como parte de las necesidades de conocimiento que tiene el ser humano, y, la otra, la relación de esta curiosidad como una parte del conocimiento al cual debe aspirar el hombre, haciendo referencia al mito de la caverna señalado por Platón, y que de alguna manera se menciona en la obra de San Agustín. Asimismo, por último se presenta una reflexión final al relacionar las necesidades de conocimiento con el ciclo de las necesidades de información.
Role of Nrf2 Signaling in the Regulation of Vascular BK Channel β1 Subunit Expression and BK Channel Function in High-Fat Diet–Induced Diabetic Mice
Authors: Lu Tong , Sun Xiaojing , Li Yong , Chai Qiang , Wang Xiao-Li , Lee Hon-Chi
Published: May 2017

The large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BK) channel β1-subunit (BK-β1) is a key modulator of BK channel electrophysiology and the downregulation of BK-β1 protein expression in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) underlies diabetic vascular dysfunction. In this study, we hypothesized that the nuclear factor erythroid-2–related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway plays a significant role in the regulation of coronary BK channel function and vasodilation in high-fat diet (HFD)–induced obese/diabetic mice. We found that the protein expressions of BK-β1 and Nrf2 were markedly downregulated, whereas those of the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and the muscle ring finger protein 1 (MuRF1 [a ubiquitin E3 ligase for BK-β1]) were significantly upregulated in HFD mouse arteries. Adenoviral expression of Nrf2 suppressed the protein expressions of NF-κB and MuRF1 but enhanced BK-β1 mRNA and protein expressions in cultured coronary SMCs. Knockdown of Nrf2 resulted in reciprocal changes of these proteins. Patch-clamp studies showed that coronary BK-β1–mediated channel activation was diminished in HFD mice. Importantly, the activation of Nrf2 by dimethyl fumarate significantly reduced the body weight and blood glucose levels of HFD mice, enhanced BK-β1 transcription, and attenuated MuRF1-dependent BK-β1 protein degradation, which in turn restored coronary BK channel function and BK channel–mediated coronary vasodilation in HFD mice. Hence, Nrf2 is a novel regulator of BK channel function with therapeutic implications in diabetic vasculopathy.

Authors: S. Bahramirad  , M. H. J. Bollen  , A. Khodaei
Published: May 2017

Rapid and wide-spread deployment of new technologies in the electric power distribution network under the concept of smart grids has resulted in a growing need to new standards and guidelines specifically designed to address emerging technological challenges and further streamline the use of new technology. This document is prepared as part of the activities to develop the IEEE Power and Energy Society’s “smart distribution application guide”, to give guidance to utilities and network operators in the use of new technology in electric power distribution. The document will provide a description of the available new technology based on its application, followed by a more detailed description of the technologies and associated supporting solutions. The topics discussed in this document include improving the reliability of supply, improving the power quality, improving the efficiency of distribution-system operation, increasing hosting capacity for new production or for new consumption, and allowing market functioning and participation of all network users. This paper contains some examples of texts as they are currently being discussed within the smart distribution working group.
Efficient biogas production from the liquid fraction of dairy manure
Authors: W. Bergland  , C. Dinamarca  , R. Bakke
Published: May 2017

A farm integrated process for small scale biogas production from manure is designed. The anaerobic digestion (AD) process is tested on diary manure and consists of a manure storage tank, a separation unit to remove coarse solids, and an AD reactor for biogas production using the resulting manure liquid fraction as substrate. The performance of the 220 L pilot AD reactor, run at 8.8 days hydraulic retention time depended on the raw manure storage time. The biogas production was 0.7-1.5 g COD L-1 reactor d-1, and the maximum biogas methane yield was 0.19 g COD g-1 feed COD. The overall AD process gained 29 % of the total methane potential of the raw dairy manure. High manure alkalinity (8-9 g CaCO3 L-1) ensures stable pH (7.8-8.0) at high load. The results imply that diary manure can be treated more sustainable by AD at even higher loadings.
Harmful Algal Blooms: Physiology, Behavior, Population Dynamics and Global Impacts- A Review
Authors: Al-Ghelani H.M. , AlKindi A.Y.A , Amer S. , Al-Akhzami Y.K
Published: May 2017

Harmful, toxic algae are now considered as one of the important players in the newly emerging environmental risk factors. The apparent global increase in harmful algal blooms (HABs) is becoming a serious problem in both aquaculture and fisheries populations. Not only has the magnitude and intensity of public health and economic impacts of these blooms increased in recent years, but the number of geographic locations experiencing toxic algal blooms has also increased dramatically. There are two primary factors causing HABs outbreaks. The natural processes such as upwelling and relaxation, and the anthropogenic loading resulting in eutrophication. However, the influence of global climate changes on algal bloom phenomenon cannot be ignored. The problem warrants development of effective strategies for the management and mitigation of HABs. Progress made in the routine coastal monitoring programs, development of methods for detection of algal species and toxins and coastal modeling activities for predicting HABs reflect the international concerns regarding the impacts of HABs. Innovative techniques using molecular probes will hopefully result in development of rapid, reliable screening methods for phycotoxins and the causative organisms.
Conditional Fault-Diameter of Torus Networks
Authors: Touzene Abderezak , Day Khaled
Published: May 2017

We obtain the conditional fault-diameter of the square torus interconnection network under the condition of forbidden faulty sets (i.e. assuming that each non-faulty processor has at least one non-faulty neighbor). We show that under this condition, the square torus, whose connectivity is 4, can tolerate up to 5 faulty nodes without becoming disconnected. The conditional node connectivity is, therefore, 6. We also show that the conditional fault-diameter of the square torus is equal to the fault-free diameter plus two. With this result the torus joins a group of interconnection networks (including the hypercube and the star-graph) whose conditional fault-diameter has been shown to be only two units over the fault-free diameter. Two fault-tolerant routing algorithms are discussed based on the proposed vertex disjoint paths construction.
Realization in Generalized State Space form for 2-D Polynomial System Matrices
Authors: Boudellioua M.S. , Chentouf B.
Published: May 2017

In this paper, a direct realization procedure is presented that brings a general 2-D polynomial system matrix to generalized state space (GSS) form, such that all the relevant properties including the zero structure of the system matrix are retained. It is shown that the transformation linking the original 2-D polynomial system matrix with its associated GSS form is zero coprime system equivalence. The exact nature of the resulting system matrix in GSS form and the transformation involved are established.
