Authors: Hasiuk Petro , Hasiuk Nataliya , Kindiy Dmytro , Ivanchyshyn Victoriya , Kalashnikov Dmytro , Zubchenko Sergiy
Published: December 2016

Purpose

The development of inflammatory periodontal disease in young people is an urgent problem of today's periodontology, and requires a development of new methods that would give an opportunity not only to diagnose but also for prognosis of periodontitis course in a given patients contingent.

Results

Cellular structure of periodontal pockets is presented by hematogenous and epithelial cells. Our results are confirmed by previous studies, and show that the penetration of periodontal pathogens leads to formation in periodontal tissue of a highly active complex compounds—cytokines that are able to modify the activity of neutrophils and reduce their specific antibacterial properties. Cytokines not only adversely affect the periodontal tissues, but also cause further activation of cells that synthesized them, and inhibit tissue repair and process of resynthesis of connective tissue by fibroblasts.

Conclusion

Neutrophilic granulocytes present in each of the types of smear types, but their functional status and quantitative composition is different. The results of our cytological study confirmed the results of immunohistochemical studies, and show that in generalized periodontitis, an inflammatory cellular elements with disorganized epithelial cells and connective tissue of the gums and periodontium, and bacteria form specific types of infiltration in periodontal tissues.
Nationale Musik — Musik im Dienst am Volk. Zu einer Variante sozialistisch-realistischer Musik der frühen DDR: Der Fall Kurt Schwaen
Authors: Schröder Gesine
Published: December 2016

‘Middle music’ and the ‘middle music theory’ of the German Democratic Republic have received little interest, although their products survive until today. Kurt Schwaen is known for his compositions for folk instruments and for his famous children’s songs such as “Wenn Mutti früh zur Arbeit geht” [When mom goes to work early in the morning]. Schwaen was an author of music for the folk, namely for amateur singers, mostly children, or lay instrumentalists, who played in mandolin or accordion orchestras. Schwaen’s compositions may be considered as a variant of socialistic realism in music. They form a modern folk music by both respecting neomodal writing, derived from the 1920s, as well as by including international folk material and promising an authentic and unsuspicious tune which German folk music lacked since the Third Reich.
Rudolf Bruči and the criticism of the European avant-garde
Authors: Sovtić Nemanja
Published: December 2016

Yugoslav composer Rudolf Bruči is known on the international scene primarily as the author of Sinfonia Lesta, a composition winning the first prize in 1965 at the Queen Elizabeth Competition in Belgium. On a national level, Bruči was a powerful social entity, not only in respect of his creative freedom. As a member of the League of Communists, Bruči spent a lifetime as an official in social organizations and cultural institutions, thus dictating the rhythm of musical life of Novi Sad and the Province of Vojvodina, until the collapse of Socialism when he was suddenly forgotten. The developmental line of Bruči’s oeuvre – leading from Zhdanovian national classicism, through the adoption of elements of the European avant-garde, to the reaffirmation of a national/regional idiom in the mid-1970s – largely corresponds to the general tendencies of postwar art music in the socialist countries of Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. Bruči broke with the European avant-garde models not only in his creative practice, but he also reasoned it in the articles “The Composers’ Role in the Modern Development of Self-governing Socialist Society,” “Statements of Yugoslav Music Forum Composers’ Workgroup,” and “Manifesto of the ‘Third Avant- Garde’,” where he based his discourse on conformism, lack of communication and dehumanization of avant-garde, and in particular on Yugoslav ideological projects, such as self-management, non-alignment, and deprovincialization. The article analyzes the context in which Bruči’s creative transformation during the 1970s was expressed as the criticism of the Eurocentric cultural model, as well as the suspicion towards the imperative of modernization in a world obsessed with technological advances.
Music for Prague 1968: A display of Czech nationalism from America
Authors: Cairns Zachary
Published: December 2016

As an overt response to the Soviet bloc invasion of Czechoslovakia, Karel Husa’s Music for Prague 1968 makes an obvious nationalistic statement. In his foreword to the published score, Husa describes Prague’s use of the Hussite war song “Ktož jsú boží bojovníc” as its most important unifying motive. He says this song has long been “a symbol of resistance and hope.” The author does not debate the work’s nationalistic intent, he finds remarkable that, in 1968, Husa was an American citizen, teaching at Cornell, and using compositional techniques not frequently associated with Eastern European nationalism. If musical nationalism (expressed by folkloric elements) in Eastern European countries can be used to express primacy over avantgarde music, Music for Prague 1968 presents the opposite — a traditional war song submersed in an entirely Western European/American musical language. The study examines several portions of the composition to demonstrate the ways in which Husa expresses his nationalism in a non-nationalistic manner, including chromatic transformations of the Hussite song; the integrally serial third movement, in which unpitched percussion instruments are intended to represent the church bells of Prague; and the opening movement’s non-tonal bird calls, intended to represent freedom. Furthermore, Music for Prague 1968 uses a Western avant-garde language in a way that Husa’s other overtly nationalistic post-emigration pieces (Twelve Moravian Songs, Eight Czech Duets, Evocations of Slovakia) do not. In this light, it will be seen that Music for Prague 1968 fills a special role in Husa’s nationalistic display.
Non-conformism or nationalism? Yuriy Butsko and his “Russian dodecaphony”
Authors: Dubinets Elena
Published: December 2016

During most of the Soviet era, it was considered ideologically suspect — and anti-nationalistic — to perform, compose, or study any kind of sacred music. How some composers who identified with Orthodoxy conveyed their spirituality through their art in spite of official prohibitions illuminates an interesting way of expressing Russian identity through heritage revival. This paper explores a unique compositional technique that bridged liturgical experience and the concert stage by means of a rather calculated but inspired methodology that expanded the znamenny chant structure into a 12-tone row. Starting with his Polyphonic Concerto (1969), composer Yuriy Butsko (1938–2015) successfully adapted the old chant to modern times while preserving its religious meaning. “Butsko’s row” indigenized a transnational compositional technique (dodecaphony) by kneading principles of Russian chant scale into its core. In the midst of the Cold War a Russian composer reached out to the world by globalizing an inherent pre-Soviet musical element. At the time (though seemingly without any explicit intent on the part of the composer) this could be considered a non-conformist gesture against the regime. Paradoxically, however, Butsko’s system marked his desire to validate his music as a legitimate means of the Russian national representation. Butsko’s utilization of the znamenny chant could have supported the state, had the state patronized the Orthodoxy.
Zhao Jiping and the sound of resistance in Red Sorghum
Authors: Thompson Brian C.
Published: December 2016

Since seizing power in 1949, China’s Communist Party has exerted firm control over all aspects of cultural expression. This policy took its most radical turn in the mid-1960s when Mao Zedong launched the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976), aiming to rid the country of bourgeois elements. The composer Zhao Jiping was a student at the Xi’an Conservatory during this period. He graduated in 1970, but was able to continue his studies only when the Central Conservatory reopened in 1978. On completing his studies, he established himself as a composer of folk-inspired music for film and the concert stage. This paper focuses on Zhao’s score for director Zhang Yimou’s Red Sorghum (Hong gao liang, 1987), a film based on the 1986 novel by 2012 Nobel laureate Mo Yan. While the composer enjoyed only limited recognition beyond China, he went on to score other successful films, among them Raise the Red Lantern (1991) and Farewell, My Concubine (1993), and achieve success as a composer of concert music. The paper connects Zhao’s musical language to the impact of the Cultural Revolution by examining how in Red Sorghum his music was employed to evoke a virile image of rural China.
Dance house under the socialist regime in Hungary
Authors: Richter Pál
Published: December 2016

At the beginning of the 1970s there was a drastic turn in the history of Hungarian folklorism brought by the ‘dance house’ [táncház] movement. This movement, based on civil initiative, aimed to evoke and revive the patterns of peasant dance and music culture of local communities, preserving its aesthetic values. Within its confines, many young people followed the example of the initiators, Ferenc Sebő and Béla Halmos through the intensive appropriation of instrumental folk music. Their professional leaders were such folklore researchers as Lajos Vargyas, Imre Olsvai, and György Martin, later the amateur activity ignoring scientific requirements came to play a determinant role. (N.B. the “dance house method” was inscribed in 2011 on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.) As an urban subculture rooted in the peasant traditional culture, it expanded independently from the centrally supervised cultural establishment — without the control of the communist party. It seemed to be dangerous from ideological point of view, because it could have involved the ideas of nationalism, liberty, and self-organized communities as well.
“Rock and Roll Will Keep us Together”: Music and the representations of Yugoslav collectivity in the Day of Youth
Authors: Petrov Ana
Published: December 2016

In this article I will point out to the role of music in the Day of Youth, the most important state holiday in the socialist Yugoslavia. I will show that in the afterwar period, the music for the jamboree was selected in order to highlight certain important events from the People’s Liberation Struggle, so that it consisted in the combination of traditional, partisan and folk songs, and it was regularly related to Tito himself. After Tito’s death in 1980, the Day of Youth was in crisis, together with the country, but despite that, the celebrations were organized almost until the very end of Yugoslavia. The celebrations after Tito were marked by a tendency to overcome the crisis of the ideology of “brotherhood and unity,” so that it was concluded that the Day of Youth should be modernized. I argue that the music played a crucial role in the process, leading to the promulgation of rock and roll as “our future,” i.e. the future of the young. The collectivities that were represented in the jamboree also changed in accordance with the music, so that those in the 1980s included casual rock and roll dancing instead of traditional round dances.

Production of two Nasal Sounds by Speakers with Cleft Palate
Authors: Bressmann Tim , Radovanovic Bojana , Harper Susan , Klaiman Paula , Fisher David , Kulkarni Gajanan V.
Published: December 2016

Many speakers with cleft palate develop atypical consonant productions, especially for pressure consonants such as plosives, fricatives, and affricates. The present study investigated the nature of nasal sound errors. The participants were eight female and three male speakers with cleft palate between the ages of 6 to 20. Speakers were audio-recorded, and midsagittal tongue movement was captured with ultrasound. The speakers repeated vowel-consonant-vowel with the vowels /α/, /i/, and /u/ and the alveolar and velar nasal consonants /n/ and /η/. The productions were reviewed by three listeners. The participants showed a variety of different placement errors and insertions of plosives, as well as liquid productions. There was considerable error variability between and within speakers, often related to the different vowel contexts. Three speakers co-produced click sounds. The study demonstrated the wide variety of sound errors that some speakers with cleft palate may demonstrate for nasal sounds. Nasal sounds, ideally in different vowel contexts, should be included in articulation screenings for speakers with cleft palate, perhaps more than is currently the case.
Complications of the Arteriovenous Fistula: A Systematic Review
Authors: Al-Jaishi Ahmed A. , Liu Aiden R. , Lok Charmaine E. , Zhang Joyce C. , Moist Louise M.
Published: December 2016

The implementation of patient-centered care requires an individualized approach to hemodialysis vascular access, on the basis of each patient’s unique balance of risks and benefits. This systematic review aimed to summarize current literature on fistula risks, including rates of complications, to assist with patient-centered decision making. We searched Medline from 2000 to 2014 for English-language studies with prospectively captured data on ≥100 fistulas. We assessed study quality and extracted data on study design, patient characteristics, and outcomes. After screening 2292 citations, 43 articles met our inclusion criteria (61 unique cohorts; n>11,374 fistulas). Median complication rates per 1000 patient days were as follows: 0.04 aneurysms (14 unique cohorts; n=1827 fistulas), 0.11 infections (16 cohorts; n>6439 fistulas), 0.05 steal events (15 cohorts; n>2543 fistulas), 0.24 thrombotic events (26 cohorts; n=4232 fistulas), and 0.03 venous hypertensive events (1 cohort; n=350 fistulas). Risk of bias was high in many studies and event rates were variable, thus we could not present pooled results. Studies generally did not report variables associated with fistula complications, patient comorbidities, vessel characteristics, surgeon experience, or nursing cannulation skill. Overall, we found marked variability in complication rates, partly due to poor quality studies, significant heterogeneity of study populations, and inconsistent definitions. There is an urgent need to standardize reporting of methods and definitions of vascular access complications in future clinical studies to better inform patient and provider decision making.

Authors: Tchernitchko Dimitri , Tavernier Quentin , Lamoril Jérôme , Schmitt Caroline , Talbi Neila , Lyoumi Said , Robreau Anne-Marie , Karim Zoubida , Gouya Laurent , Thervet Eric , Karras Alexandre , Puy Hervé , Pallet Nicolas
Published: December 2016

CKD occurs in most patients with acute intermittent porphyria (AIP). During AIP, δ-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) accumulates and promotes tubular cell death and tubulointerstitial damage. The human peptide transporter 2 (PEPT2) expressed by proximal tubular cells mediates the reabsorption of ALA, and variants of PEPT2 have different affinities for ALA. We tested the hypothesis that PEPT2 genotypes affect the severity and prognosis of porphyria-associated kidney disease. We analyzed data from 122 individuals with AIP who were followed from 2003 to 2013 and genotyped for PEPT2. At last follow-up, carriers of the PEPT2*1*1 genotype (higher affinity variant) exhibited worse renal function than carriers of the lower affinity variants PEPT2*1/*2 and PEPT2*2/*2 (mean±SD eGFR: 54.4±19.1, 66.6±23.8, and 78.1±19.9 ml/min per 1.73 m2, respectively). Change in eGFR (mean±SD) over the 10-year period was −11.0±3.3, −2.4±1.9, and 3.4±2.6 ml/min per 1.73 m2 for PEPT2*1/*1, PEPT2*1*2, and PEPT*2*2*2 carriers, respectively. At the end of follow-up, 68% of PEPT2*1*1 carriers had an eGFR<60 ml/min per 1.73 m2, compared with 37% of PEPT2*1*2 carriers and 15% of PEPT2*2*2 carriers. Multiple regression models including all confounders indicated that the PEPT2*1*1 genotype independently associated with an eGFR<60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 (odds ratio, 6.85; 95% confidence interval, 1.34 to 46.20) and an annual decrease in eGFR of >1 ml/min per 1.73 m2 (odds ratio, 3.64; 95% confidence interval, 1.37 to 9.91). Thus, a gene variant is predictive of the severity of a chronic complication of AIP. The therapeutic value of PEPT2 inhibitors in preventing porphyria-associated kidney disease warrants investigation.
M. Davis Empathy test: content validity and adaptation in cross-cultural context
Authors: Karyagina T.D. , Kukhtova N.
Published: December 2016

The article analyzes the results of adaptation and validation of empathy test of M. Davis (IRI) on the Russian-speaking population in Russia and Belarus, as well as adaptation in foreign countries. The test is recognized as a reliable and valid method of diagnosis of empathy and is translated into major languages (German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, etc.). The aim of the article is to clarify the substantive content of the questionnaire scales. The results of researches conducted with IRI in Russia and Belarus are given. The nature of empathic processes reflectied by scales of the test is hypothesized. The analysis is carried out in the context of the adequacy of differentiation “cognitive — affective empathy” and the allocation of other parameters for effective study of empathic phenomena.

This article was prepared with the financial support of the Russian Foundation of Hu- manities (project № 15-26-01007) and Belarusian Republican Foundation for Fundamental Research (project №Г15Р-028), international project “Empathy development in socionomic (“helping”) professions”.
Mentalization and empathy ontogenetic development: empirical studies review
Authors: Klimenkova E.N.
Published: December 2016

The article considers the main fields and onotogenetic development processes of men- talization and empathy. The neural measures and psychological studies results show that there is an active formation process of mentalization and empathy in adolescence. The article highlights the disputable character of the results of modern studies of social cognition in adolescence. The neural measures require further interpretation. The differences in mechanisms of empathy and mentalization are discussed, specifically the order of empathy components (cognitive or emotionally) forming in the onotogenetic development process. The various results of studies showing the proximity of these processes and prove their relative independence (including at the level of neural networks). The article contains the evidence that strong mentalization reduces the risk of emotional maladjustment and aggressive behavior, while its deficits correlate with bullying. We consider the current study of mentalization and empathy family factors. Particular attention is paid to the E.Mains study, which summarizes the research of social cognition ontogenetic development factors in building on the cultural and historical theory development of the of the psyche L.S. Vygotsky.

The study was performed by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation (grant № 14- 18-03461) at the Federal Medical Research Centre of Psychiatry and Narcology under the Ministry of Public Health of the Russian Federation.
Psychotherapy as a method of humanitarian cognition in the light of the methodology of L.S. Vygotsky
Authors: Kubarev V.S.
Published: December 2016

In the article the author attempts to make a methodological interpretation of psychotherapy as a method of humanitarian cognition, which has its special objectives, principles and conceptual constructions, different from the ones of the natural science. One of the features of humanitarian cognition is that it is directed on the subject who comprehends the various aspects of his personal being, but not on the object. Relying on methodologies developed by L.S. Vygotsky, the author formulates the main question of the article: what the method of psychology should be in order to meet two conditions. On the one hand, it should be appropriate for subject (not object) comprehending his personal being. On the other hand, it should allow comprehending the being hidden behind the phenomenon. Productive amplification of consciousness based on the principles of development and sign-symbolic mediation is considered to be a version of such a method. The author pays special attention to the phenomenological aspect of the method and especially to the position of the inner observer. In the course of the analysis, psychotherapy is proved to be a method of productive amplification of consciousness which is a specific tool of cognition in humanitarian science.

Authors: Afanasyeva Marina H , Bolotskih Vyacheslav M , Polyakova Victoria O
Published: December 2016

One of the most commonly encountered pregnancy complications is the premature rupture of membranes. This pathology results in the increase of frequency of operative delivery, birth traumatism and neonatal complications. The purpose of the research described was verification of key signal molecules, providing integrity of fetal membranes, with subsequent development of possible biomarkers of non-invasive prediction of the premature rupture of membranes. This work presents the comparison studies of expression of VEGF, MMP-9, connexin 37, connexin 40, endorphins, enkephalins, actin, miosin in a buccal epithelium and fetal membranes for 70 patients of the basic group (with premature rupture of membranes) and for 70 patients of the control group (with timely rupture of membranes). Research of fetal membranes and buccal epithelium was carried out by means of primary monoclonal mouse antibodies to the investigated markers. The universal basis set was used as the secondary antibodies, containing of biotinylated anti-mouse immunoproteins. The study of the preparations was carried out in the confocal microscope OLYMPUS FLUOVIEW FV 1000 at the image enlargement of ×400 and ×1000 with use of the system MRC-1024, with the software suite for computer processing OLYMPUS FLUOVIEW 5.0. Statistical processing of the material was carried out with the application of the standard statistical software suite Statistica 10.0. Obtained in a group with the premature rupture of membranes and in a control group were the reliable differences of expression of MMP-9, VEGF, connexin 37 and connexin 40 were. The multifactorial analysis of the indices of expression of signal molecules allowed to discover the high information significance for premature rupture of membranes prediction, matrix metalloproteinase ММP-9, connexin 37 and connexin 40, as well as VEGF. Matrix metalloproteinase ММP-9, connexin 37 and connexin 40, VEGF can be considered as non-invasive markers of premature rupture of membranes prediction.

“Judas-Asvero”, um conto de Euclides da Cunha
Authors: Pietrani Anélia Montechiari
Published: December 2016

Este artigo tem por objetivo fazer um estudo interpretativo do conto “Judas-Asvero”, de Euclides da Cunha, um dos mais importantes intelectuais no Brasil do final do século XIX e início do século XX. Publicado no livro À margem da história, cuja primeira edição data de 1909, o conto assume, na vasta obra do autor de Os sertões, um lugar de destaque, pela unidade temático-imagística e pelo tratamento estético que o escritor lhe confere, ao retratar a situação de trabalho e sobrevivência do seringueiro do Alto Purus, no Acre. Em um discurso em que o ensaio e a ficção parecem não ser antípodas, “Judas-Asvero” pode ser considerado bom exemplo de texto integrante do conjunto de narrativas curtas do início do século XX que promove reflexão sobre o complexo processo literário brasileiro, especialmente no que concerne às discussões acerca dos vínculos entre literatura e sociedade.

Thrombocytopenia absent radii (TAR) is a rare genetic disorder associated with multiple additional anomalies. We report a case of a 25 day old female neonate with thrombocytopenia and bilateral absent radii with flexion of the elbow joint and radial deviation of the wrist joint. TAR, although rare are not uncommon. Thus, we have presented a 25 day old neonate with radiological features of absent radii and fluctuating platelet counts that subsequently showed thrombocytopenia that warranted the diagnosis of TAR syndrome in this case.

We report here a case study of meningococcal septicaemia caused by Neisseria meningitidis in Kalabazaar, Thimphu on November 2016. The one-year old patient had no history of contact with any infected individuals in the past two weeks before his onset, neither did he travel anywhere besides his one-storey traditional residence. The patient was hospitalized and given antibiotic treatment of ceftriaxone at an early course of the disease. The patient did not develop any complications during the time of hospitalization and had recovered well. Close contacts with the case were identified and given post-exposure prophylaxis with 500 mg ciprofloxacin. No new cases were encountered during the course of contact tracing.

Authors: Gupta S. P. , Garg Gaurav
Published: December 2016

Background: Madelung deformity is the result of bony and ligamentous dysplasia at the wrist that produces characteristic deformity and is usually recognized in late adolescence. Madelung like deformity can occur following trauma, infection or neoplasm. This esthetic deformity is encountered rarely in orthopaedic practice, when surgeon faces the challenging task to correct it using the best available technique. This study has been conducted to analyze the presentation, interventional procedures and their end result.

Methods: We retrospectively analyze the clinical records, radiographs and functional outcome of patients who presented with Madelung and Madelung like deformity. Radiographic and clinical assessment was done.  Surgery was considered for patients fitting into the inclusion criteria. Dorsolateral close wedge and palmar open wedge osteotomy of radius were done with or without ulnar procedure. Postoperative protocol was followed and periodic assessment was done. Mayo modified wrist score has been used to evaluate the pre-operative and post-operative scores.

Results: The study enrolled sixteen affected wrists. Average age in our study was 14 years with an average follow-up of 12 months. Statistically significant increase in range of motion of wrist was achieved for in surgically treated patients. Significant change in pain score, grip strength, RAU° and carpal slip was noted. Postoperative wrist score was also significantly improved.

Conclusions: Our study concludes that there is a definitive role of surgical intervention to improve the range of motion of wrist, grip strength and reduces pain which brings the patient back into the main stream of a functionally independent being. 
Evaluation of minimally invasive fixation with ESIN in the management of displaced mid-shaft clavicle fractures: a case series with minimum of 2 years follow-up
Authors: Chachan Sourabh , Sahu Biswajit
Published: December 2016

Background: Over the last few years, operative treatment has become the standard for treatment of clavicle fractures. Both plating and intra-medullary pinning techniques are available for treating clavicle fractures. The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of minimally invasive technique using elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) in surgical treatment of displaced mid-shaft clavicle fractures.

Methods: It is a prospective case series study conducted at the Department of Orthopaedics of a tertiary care centre. 44 cases of acute displaced mid-shaft clavicle fractures with a mean age of 32.7 years were treated by intramedullary pinning with titanium elastic stable nails and were followed-up for a mean period of 30.6 months(range= 24-40 months). Functional outcomes were evaluated by using Constant Shoulder score. The results obtained were analysed using student’s t-test.

Results: Union was achieved in all except one case which showed delayed union. 7 cases were complicated by telescoping (incidence= 15.9%) and 6 out of these 7 cases also had medial nail protrusion (incidence= 13.6%) simultaneously. 9 cases had shortening of less than 1cm and 2 had shortening of more than 1cm.  No other complication was reported from any of the case. Mean constant shoulder scores improved from 15 to 85.6 (p value <0.001) after 12 months from surgery. However, no further improvement was seen after 12 months of surgery, with no statistical difference (p value= 0.789) between the mean scores at 12 (85.6) and 24 (85.7) months.

Conclusions: ESIN offers the advantages of treating displaced mid-shaft clavicle fractures with minimal incision and decreased surgery time with minimal intra-operative blood loss. The results were excellent in terms of functional outcomes. The complication rates were low and return to normal activity was quiet fast. ESIN is a minimally invasive technique with good cosmetic and functional results. This method should be seen as an alternative to plate fixation and non-operative treatment.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the major cause of morbidity, having a substantial influence on health quality of life, imposing enormous burden of cost on the health care system. It is a chronic degenerative disorder that is characterised by articular cartilage degeneration. It can be caused by aging, heredity and injury from trauma or disease. Primary symptoms of OA include joint pain, stiffness and limitation of movement. Disease progression is usually slow but can ultimately lead to joint failure with pain and disability. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) derived from adipose tissue is a rich source of pre adipocytes, mesenchymal cells (MSC), endothelial progenitor cell, T cells, B cells, mast cells as well as adipose tissue macrophages. It can be easily obtained from loose connective tissue that is associated with adipose tissue by lipoaspiration under local anaesthesia. SVF is isolated without using any enzymes or chemicals and its autologous grafting is done in a single surgical sitting. Here, we evaluated safety and clinical efficacy of freshly isolated Autologous SVF cells in patients with grade 2-4 degenerative osteoarthritis (OA).  .

Methods: A total of 116 joints mainly knee OA were treated with autologous grafting of SVF done in a single surgical sitting. A total of 116 joints studied out of which 80 joints were followed up for 12 months, 88 joints followed for 9 months, 110 joints followed for 6 months and finally all 116 joints were followed for minimum 1 month for safety and efficacy.

Results: Modified KOOS clinical score was used to evaluate clinical effect and was based on pain, non-steroid analgesic usage, limping, extent of joint movement, and stiffness evaluation before and at pre-operative, 1 Month post-op, 6 months post-op and 12 Months post-op after grafting. No side effects, systemic infection or cancer was associated with Autologous grafting of SVF. There was a significant improvement from pre-op to post op in all the followed patients. Average KOOS score improved from pre-operative 46.4 to post-operative 12 months average 77.9 i.e. very significant improvement in all grades. All sub-scale parameter for pain, symptoms, activity of living and quality of life showed significant improvement. Higher grade of OA were associated with comparatively slower healing.

Conclusions: Autologous grafting of SVF in single surgical sitting is a novel and promising treatment approach for patients with degenerative OA. This treatment method was found to be minimal invasive, safe and cost-effective treatment modality for osteoarthritis.

Published: December 2016

Background: Oxidant stress as a result of increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) or a reduction in the body’s endogenous antioxidant defense system is a hallmark of chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The objective of the study was to establish the status of oxidative/nitrosative stress in RA patients of north Karnataka.

Methods: Thirty RA patients and equal number of healthy individuals (controls) were included in the study. The morning stiffness (MS) and disease activity score 28 (DAS28) of RA patients were examined. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and hemoglobin (Hb) levels were estimated. Biochemical parameters uric acid, lipid peroxide (LPO), nitric oxide (NOx), vitamin C & E, erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were measured.

Results: Significant increased ESR (11.20 mm/hr vs. 40.97 mm/hr, 265.80%), uric acid (3.85 mg/dL vs. 6.73 mg/dL, 74.81%), LPO (1.12 μmol/L vs. 2.35 μmol/L, 109.82%) and NOx (16.19 μmol/L vs. 45.43 μmol/L, 180.61%) levels with significant decreased of the levels of Hb (12.59 g/dL vs. 10.16 g/dL, 19.30%), vitamin C & E (11.20.mg/L vs. 3.87.mg/dL, 65.45% and 13.01 mg/L vs. 7.05 mg/dL, 45.81%), SOD (3757.90 U/g Hb vs. 2201.20 U/g Hb, 41.42%) and GSH-Px (1.81 U/g Hb vs. 0.92 U/g Hb, 49.17%) were observed in RA. There was direct correlation found between MS, DAS-28 and ESR with serum LPO and NOx in RA patients. A significant negative correlation was detected between activity parameters with biochemical parameters in RA patients.

Conclusions: Increased oxidants level and decreased non-enzymatic/enzymatic antioxidants level in RA patients of north Karnataka confirm an association between oxidative/nitrosative stress and rheumatoid arthritis. 
The Role of Institutional Environment in International Trade. The Case of Spanish Regions
Authors: Márquez-Ramos Laura
Published: December 2016

We move beyond the nation-state as the unit of analysis and use subnational spatial variation to study the effect of the institutional environment on international trade. Additionally, we address the heterogeneous effect of trade agreements on different regions within a country. Employing a gravity model approach, we use a region-to-country dataset to estimate the determinants of Spanish regional exports and we apply quantile regressions for panel data. We find that better institutional quality of trade agreements leads to an increase in both the intensive and the extensive margins of trade. The institutional quality of trade agreements exerts a differential effect on regional exports at different locations within a country, although differences across Spanish regions seem to be larger for the intensive margin than for the extensive margin. We do, however, find a common trend: for the relatively more important exporting regions, the institutional quality of TAs is less relevant for trade margins. Therefore, our results posit that subnational spatial variation should be added to the analysis of the determinants of international trade flows.
