ObjectiveTo develop an easy surgical approach to facilitate clinical management.Study DesignA novel transnasal endoscopic 3‐step surgical method for vidian neurectomy was designed and tried in 91 cases with a mild‐to‐severe degree of allergic and nonallergic rhinitis refractory to routine medical therapy.SettingEndoscopic vidian neurectomy requires accurate localization of the vidian canal. However, it is not easy to localize during surgery because of its deep location and the complex anatomy of the pterygopalatine fossa.Subjects and MethodsThis technique consists of 3 steps, including transnasal endoscopic perforation of the anterior wall of the sphenoidal sinus as the first step and removal of the anterior wall until the exposure of the vidian canal in the junction between the anterior wall and the floor of the sphenoid sinus as the second step. The last step is the accurate resection and cauterization of the vidian nerve. In some cases in which the sphenoid sinus developed well with a big lateral space, an extended procedure of posterior ethmoidectomy was included to allow good exposure of the vidian canal.ResultsUsing this technique, successful endoscopic vidian neurectomy in this series of patients was confirmed by both histology and Schirmer test, showing its distinct advantages of easy localization of the vidian canal and less risk of injury to the nerve and vessel bundles within the pterygopalatine fossa.ConclusionTaken together, this novel 3‐step procedure of endoscopic vidian neurectomy plus an extended procedure guarantees good exposure of the vidian canal and therefore accurate vidian neurectomy.
RETRACTED ARTICLE: Fabrication of a microfluidic device for studying the in situ drug-loading/release behavior of graphene oxide-encapsulated hydrogel beads

Abstract

Background
Controlled drug delivery system is highly important for not only
prolonged the efficacy of drug but also cellular development for tissue
engineering. A number of biopolymer composites and nanostructured carriers
behave been used for the controlled drug delivery of therapeutics. Recently, in
vitro microfluidic devices that mimic the human body have been developed for
drug-delivery applications.

Methods
A microfluidic channel was fabricated via a two-step process: (i)
polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) and curing agent were poured with a 10:2 mass ratio
onto an acrylic mold with two steel pipes, and (ii) calcium alginate beads were
synthesized using sodium alginate and calcium chloride solutions. Different
amounts (10, 25, 50 μg) of graphene oxide (GO) were then added by Hummers
method, and studies on the encapsulation and release of the model drug,
risedronate (Ris), were performed using control hydrogel beads (pH 6.3),
GO-containing beads (10GO, 25GO and 50GO), and different pH conditions. MC3T3
osteoblastic cells were cultured in a microchannel with Ris-loaded GO-hydrogel
beads, and their proliferation, viability, attachment and spreading were
assessed for a week.

Results
The spongy and textured morphology of pristine hydrogel beads was
converted to flowery and rod-shaped structures in drug-loaded hydrogel beads at
reduced pH (6.3) and at a lower concentration (10 μg) of GO. These latter 10GO
drug-loaded beads rapidly released their cargo owing to the calcium phosphate
deposited on the surface. Notably, beads containing a higher amount of GO (50GO)
exhibited an extended drug-release profile. We further found that MC3T3 cells
proliferated continuously in vitro in the microfluidic channel containing the
GO-hydrogel system. MTT and live/dead assays showed similar proliferative
potential of MC3T3 cells. Therefore, a microfluidic device with microchannels
containing hydrogel beads formulated with different amounts of GO and tested
under various pH conditions could be a promising system for controlled drug
release.

Conclusions
The GO and drug (risedronate, Rig) were directed loaded into a
hydrogel placed in a microchannel. Through interactions such as hydrogen bonding
between Go and the Rig-loaded GO-hydrogel beads, the bead-loaded microfluidic
device supported MC3T3 proliferation and development as osteoblast without
additional osteogenic differentiation supplements.

Authors: Rasaratnam Lakshmi , Kelleher Martin , Taylor Sarah 
Published: March 2018

Considerable concern and confusion exists about Medication-Related OsteoNecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) which can be a painful, prolonged and debilitating condition caused by the death of jaw bone. The most common class of drugs causing this rare problem is the bisphosphonate group of drugs, which resulted in the term Bisphosphonate-Related OsteoNecrosis of the Jaw previously being given the acronym BRONJ. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This article will help to update healthcare practitioners on assessing the realistic risks of patients developing MRONJ. It offers some ideas on reducing those risks in a practical way.
The impact of diabetes on treatment in general dental practice
Authors: Yeung Vinson , Chandan Joht 
Published: March 2018

Diabetes is a chronic disease currently known to affect at least 5% of the UK's population and is expected to continue to increase in prevalence. The disease has significant effects on the immune system and increases inflammatory responses. Diabetes affects various parts of everyday general dental practice including: the altered host-pathogen relationship on periodontal disease and its management; the dental pulp and, therefore, endodontics; and both wound and bony healing, thereby impacting surgical procedures. Educating diabetes patients about the effects of the disease and associated risks to their treatment is important in patient management. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Diabetes is a prevalent chronic disease in the UK and can adversely affect oral health and dental treatment outcome.
The risks of delayed oral cancer detection in primary care

Published: March 2018

Oral malignancy necessitates early detection for a better prognosis. Clinical presentation may vary, from a small mucosal lesion with benign clinical features to a large ulcerated mass with considerable local destruction. The case of a 46-year-old patient presenting to a dental access centre with upper quadrant jaw pain, parasthaesia and unexplained tooth mobility is discussed. Delay in recognizing key features suggestive of sinister pathology led to a seven-week delay in referral of an aggressive, rare, odontogenic malignancy; ameloblastic carcinoma. The patient underwent extensive surgery with adjunctive radiotherapy. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Odontogenic malignancy can cause rapid and extensive local invasion with a high potential for local or regional spread. Maxillary tumours often present with late, non-specific symptoms, thus must be detected early.
A contemporary approach to the provision of tooth-supported fixed prostheses part 2: fixed bridges where the abutment teeth require minimal or no preparation
Authors: Ibbetson Richard 
Published: March 2018

Fixed tooth replacement is a central part of prosthodontic care for patients. The approach and options for treatment have changed due to the decrease in dental disease in the population and the impact of the osseo-integrated implant. Despite the impact of the dental implant, there remain indications for the use of tooth-supported fixed prostheses. The impact of improving oral health, the continued developments in resin-retained bridgework and the dental implant have reduced the indications for fixed prostheses retained by crowns. The last 30 years have seen a simplification in the design of fixed bridgework and this article describes the contemporary approach to this treatment modality. The second of this two part series discusses the influence of patient choice and the use of fixed bridges requiring little or no tooth preparation. CPD/Clinical Relevance: To assist the reader in appreciating the principles of design for fixed bridgework whether supported by crowns or resin retainers.

Published: March 2018

ObjectivesThe aims of this study were to determine whether the administration of anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic agents affect the proliferation, viability, and expression of markers involved in the fibrotic development of the fibroblasts obtained from arthrofibrotic tissue in vitro, and to evaluate the effect of the agents on arthrofibrosis prevention in vivo.MethodsDexamethasone, diclofenac, and decorin, in different concentrations, were employed to treat fibroblasts from arthrofibrotic tissue (AFib). Cell proliferation was measured by DNA quantitation, and viability was analyzed by Live/Dead staining. The levels of procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP) and procollagen type III N-terminal propeptide (PIIINP) were evaluated with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. In addition, the expressions of fibrotic markers were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Fibroblasts isolated from healthy tissue (Fib) served as control. Further, a rabbit model of joint contracture was used to evaluate the antifibrotic effect of the three different agents.ResultsDexamethasone maintained the viability and promoted the proliferation of AFib. Diclofenac decreased the viability and inhibited the cell proliferation during the first week of cultivation. However, decorin inhibited AFib proliferation and downregulated the expressions of fibrotic markers. Additionally, decorin could improve the flexion contracture angle and inhibit the deposition of interstitial matrix components in the rabbit joint model.ConclusionDecorin decreased the expression of myofibroblast markers in AFib, inhibited the proliferation of AFib, and prevented the initial procedure of arthrofibrosis in vivo, suggesting that decorin could be a promising treatment to inhibit the development of arthrofibrosis.

Do what yourself?: Querying the status of ‘it’ in contemporary punk
Authors: Dale Pete 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
In order to ‘do-it-yourself’ (DIY), one needs to have some idea as to what ‘it’ is, presumably. From the late 1970s punk scene onwards, many took ‘it’ to be releasing a record: some were content to simply perform a gig or several gigs, but actually releasing a vinyl record, or even a flexi or a tape, brought a certain credibility and seriousness to the profile of a band. However, some within the punk scene would appear to have realized early on that releasing records is not necessarily the best way to ensure that ‘anyone can do it’. Latterly, record sales have slumped and yet much of the DIY punk scene, even in its more radical and leftist margins, has critically failed to really explore the necessity and validity of releasing physical copies of musical performance. Should ‘we’ still be making records in the twenty-first century? Perhaps so, the article goes on to argue in the light of Walter Benjamin’s discussion of the on-going value of physical collections. ‘The’ revolution is not yet here and, under a capitalist system, we still may want to make records for some time to come, but a critical stance on pressing records in particular and DIY in general will do the punk scene no harm. Perhaps, indeed, making records is not the best ‘it’ that one can do and other forms of doing it yourself (putting on gigs, designing visual imagery, unrecorded musical performance and so forth) deserve to be valued more highly within the DIY punk scene(s).
Punk’s popularity anxieties and DIY institutions as ideological (anti-)state apparatuses
Authors: Pearson David 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
In the 1990s United States, an increasing number of punk and punk-inspired bands made their way into the mainstream. This commercial success and popularity provoked profound anxiety within the underground punk scene, which had spent the 1980s building a DIY (do-it-yourself) network of zines, venues and independent record labels and prided itself on its autonomous cultural production. In the pages of punk zines, the overwhelming response to punk’s newfound visibility was to insist that punk remain underground, protect the scene from outsiders and cast out punk bands that signed contracts with major record record labels or even became too popular on independent labels as traitors. So-Cal punk, a style that fused 1980s hardcore with melodic vocals, occasional lead guitar parts, technical precision and more professionalized production, went from being praised for its innovations in the pages of punk zines to being castigated as a generic attempt at commercial success. The debate over DIY versus ‘selling out’ was guided by a fear that the mainstream viability of a few would dilute punk’s ethos of rebellion and compromise its integrity. While much ado has been made of DIY in recent scholarship, the robust discourse within the underground punk scene defending DIY as ideological principle and decrying ‘selling out’ has not yet been adequately chronicled or critically interrogated. This article draws on four prominent punk zines in the 1990s United States – HeartattaCk, MaximumRockNRoll, Profane Existence and Punk Planet – to elucidate the construction of DIY discourse in response to the newfound 1990s popularity of punk. Rather than romanticizing the DIY underground, this article critically evaluates the assumptions underpinning it, such as extolling the autonomous individual and small-scale production, or the notion that distance from the dominant cultural apparatuses automatically portends a praxis of rebellion.
Meaning and making: Merchandise practices in the Newcastle DIY scene
Authors: Burns Ruairi , Threadgold Steven 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
This article explores the relationships between young punk and indie musicians and the merchandise that they produce. Three interlinking analytic distinctions are made in this article of the young musicians’ motivations to make merchandise: building symbolic capital; building economic capital; and serious play. We propose that DIY merchandising entails the construction of an ethical and authentic self through the social gravity of a deeply invested illusio. The research takes place in the DIY music scene of Newcastle, a large regional town on the east coast of Australia. The participants play in punk and indie bands; however, there is a diversity of merchandising practices within the group, highlighting the fluid and complex boundaries of contemporary punk practices. The forms of experimentation, negotiation and strategy encountered illustrate how these meaningful forms of labour are important to struggles about identity and authenticity. Developing and honing merchandise-related skills as a form of ‘serious play’ has facilitated pathways towards self-employment for several of the participants. For this reason, this article draws attention to the diverse applications for expertise in merchandising, manifesting not only in the music scene but in various fields of social life. These circumstances illustrate interesting sociological developments in youth music scenes regarding music-related practices, employment transitions, labour and the transferring of capitals. The social relationships involved in merchandising are analytically explored using a Bourdieusian framework that considers punk as a social practice.
The joint owners’ grant exploitation rights to the third person on joint ownership goods<p>Paydaşların paylı mülkiyet konusu eşyadan üçüncü kişileri yararlandırma yetkileri
Authors: Özcan Zeynep 
Published: March 2018

Joint ownership, which is the most prevalent type of co-ownership, is regulated between Article 688 and Article 700 of Turkish Civil Code (hereinafter referred to as “TCC”). Joint ownership is the type of co-ownership, in which more than one person, whom have the same legal status, enjoy the property rights pro rate to their shares. Joint ownership, which is widely seen in theory and practice, has important legal aspects in terms of joint owners’ rights and authorities. Each joint owner of joint ownership has the same rights and authorities as any sole property owner had. The concept of share and joint owners’ power of disposition are significant issues within the Joint ownership. Joint owners have certain rights with respect to usufruct, management and protection of that property. Exploitation rights of such property are determined pro rata to shares hold by the joint owners . Specifically, there are certain limitations for joint owners in terms of the exploitation rights of that property. The right to grant exploitation in favor of third parties by joint owners limits the exploitation rights of other joint owners. Joint owners may grant easements to any third party on the property that subjected to Joint ownership. All joint owners should cast an affirmative vote so as to grant such easement. Besides this, each joint owner may establish any easement rights in favor of any third party upon its shares.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.

Paylı mülkiyet, aynı hukukî statüdeki birden fazla kişinin belirli bir eşyaya aynı anda payları oranında malik oldukları toplu mülkiyetin bir türüdür. Teori ve uygulamada sıklıkla karşılaşılan paylı mülkiyet birliği, sahiplerine tanıdığı hak ve yetkiler bakımından da önemlidir. Paylı mülkiyet birliğini oluşturan paydaşlardan her biri malikin sahip olduğu hak ve yükümlülüklere sahiptir. Paylı mülkiyette pay kavramı ve paydaşların pay üzerinde tasarruf yetkileri önemlidir. Paydaşların paylı mülkiyet konusu eşya üzerinde kullanma, yararlanma, yönetim yetkileri ve paylı mülkiyete konu eşyayı korumaya ilişkin yetkileri vardır. Bu yetkilerden, paydaşların yararlanma yetkileri pay oranlarına göre belirlenir. Özellikle de paydaşların paylı mülkiyet konusu eşyayı kullanma yetkilerine ilişkin kanuni ve iradi sınırlamalar bulunmaktadır. Paydaşların 3. kişileri paylı mülkiyet konusu eşyadan yararlandırma yetkisi onların eşyayı kullanma yetkisini sınırlandırmaktadır. Paydaşlar eşya üzerinde 3. kişi lehine irtifak hakkı kurabilirler. Bu durum paydaşların oybirliği ile karar almalarını gerektirir. Ayrıca her paydaş kendi payı üzerinde irtifak hakkı kurarak da 3. kişiye eşyadan yararlanma hakkı tanır.

Abstract
Maciejewski, H, Rahmani, A, Chorin, F, Lardy, J, Samozino, P, and Ratel, S. Methodological considerations on the relationship between the 1,500-m rowing ergometer performance and vertical jump in national-level adolescent rowers. J Strength Cond Res 33(11): 3000–3007, 2019—The purpose of this study was to investigate whether 3 different approaches for evaluating squat jump performance were correlated with rowing ergometer performance in elite adolescent rowers. Fourteen young male competitive rowers (15.3 ± 0.6 years), who took part in the French rowing national championships, performed a 1,500-m all-out rowing ergometer performance (P1500) and a squat jump (SJ) test. The performance in SJ was determined by calculating the jump height (HSJ in cm), a jump index (ISJ = HSJ·body mass·gravity, in J), and the mean power output (PSJ in W) from the Samozino et al.'s method. Furthermore, allometric modeling procedures were used to consider the importance of body mass (BM) in the relationships between P1500 and jump scores. P1500 was significantly correlated with HSJ (r
2 = 0.29, p ≤ 0.05), ISJ (r
2 = 0.72, p < 0.0001), and PSJ (r
2 = 0.86, p < 0.0001). Furthermore, BM explained at least 96% of the relationships between SJ and rowing performances. However, the similarity between both allometric exponents for PSJ and P1500 (1.15 and 1.04, respectively) indicates that BM could influence jump and rowing ergometer performances at the same rate, and that PSJ could be the best correlate of P1500. Therefore, the calculation of power seems to be more relevant than HSJ and ISJ to (a) evaluate jump performance and (b) infer the capacity of adolescent rowers to perform 1,500-m all-out rowing ergometer performance, irrespective of their body mass. This could help coaches to improve their training program and potentially identify talented young rowers.

Abstract
Tomasevicz, CL, Ransone, JW, and Bach, CW. Predicting bobsled pushing ability from various combine testing events. J Strength Cond Res 34(9): 2618–2626, 2020—The requisite combination of speed, power, and strength necessary for a bobsled push athlete coupled with the difficulty in directly measuring pushing ability makes selecting effective push crews challenging. Current practices by USA Bobsled and Skeleton use field combine testing to assess and identify specifically selected performance variables in an attempt to best predict push performance abilities. Combine data consisting of 11 physical performance variables were collected from 75 subjects across 2 winter Olympic qualification years (2009 and 2013). These variables were sprints of 15, 30, and 60 m, a flying 30-m sprint, a standing broad jump, a shot toss, squat, power clean, body mass, and dry-land brake and side bobsled pushes. Discriminant analysis (DA) in addition to principle component analysis (PCA) was used to investigate 2 cases (case 1: Olympians vs. non-Olympians; case 2: National Team vs. non-National Team). Using these 11 variables, DA led to a classification rule that proved capable of identifying Olympians from non-Olympians and National Team members from non-National Team members with 9.33 and 14.67% misclassification rates, respectively. The PCA was used to find similar test variables within the combine that provided redundant or useless data. After eliminating the unnecessary variables, DA on the new combinations showed that 8 (case 1) and 20 (case 2) other combinations with fewer performance variables yielded misclassification rates as low as 6.67 and 13.33%, respectively. Using fewer performance variables can allow governing bodies in many other sports to create more appropriate combine testing that maximize accuracy while minimizing irrelevant and redundant strategies.
