Published: June 2018

Purpose The Ponseti method of treatment is the standard of care for idiopathic clubfoot. Following serial casting, percutaneous tendo-Achilles tenotomy (TAT) is performed to correct residual equinus. This procedure can be performed in either the outpatient clinic or the operating room. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the expense of this procedure by examining hospital charges in both settings. Methods We retrospectively reviewed charts of 382 idiopathic clubfoot patients with a mean age of 2.4 months (0.6 to 26.6) treated with the Ponseti method at three institutions. Patients were divided into three groups depending on the setting for the TAT procedure: 140 patients in the outpatient clinic (CL), 219 in the operating room with discharge following the procedure (OR) and 23 in the operating room with admission to hospital for observation (OR+). Medical records were reviewed to analyze age, deformity, perioperative complications and specific time spent in each setting. Hospital charges for all three groups were standardized to one institution's charge structure. Results Charges among the three groups undergoing TAT (CL, OR, OR+) were found to be significantly different ($3840.60 versus $7962.30 versus $9110.00, respectively; p ≤ 0.001), and remained significant when separating unilateral and bilateral deformities (p < 0.001). There were nine total perioperative complications (six returns to the ER and three unexpected admissions to the hospital): five (2.3%) in the OR group, four (17.4%) in the OR+ group and none in the CL group. The OR+ group statistically had a higher rate of complications compared with the other two groups (p = 0.006). The total event time of the CL group was significantly shorter compared with the OR and OR+ groups (129.1, 171.7 and 1571.6 minutes respectively; p < 0.001). Conclusion Hospital charges and total event time were significantly less when percutaneous TAT was performed in the outpatient clinic compared with the operating room. In addition, performing the procedure in clinic was associated with the lowest rate of complications. Level of Evidence Therapeutic, Level III

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hyperglycaemia on oxidative stress markers and inflammatory and matrix gene expression within tendons of normal and diabetic rats and to give insights into the processes involved in tendinopathy. Methods Using tenocytes from normal Sprague-Dawley rats, cultured both in control and high glucose conditions, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, cell proliferation, messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of NADPH oxidase (NOX) 1 and 4, interleukin-6 (IL-6), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 and -2 and type I and III collagens were determined after 48 and 72 hours in vitro. In an in vivo study, using diabetic rats and controls, NOX1 and 4 expressions in Achilles tendon were also determined. Results In tenocyte cultures grown under high glucose conditions, gene expressions of NOX1, MMP-2, TIMP-1 and -2 after 48 and 72 hours, NOX4 after 48 hours and IL-6, type III collagen and TIMP-2 after 72 hours were significantly higher than those in control cultures grown under control glucose conditions. Type I collagen expression was significantly lower after 72 hours. ROS accumulation was significantly higher after 48 hours, and cell proliferation after 48 and 72 hours was significantly lower in high glucose than in control glucose conditions. In the diabetic rat model, NOX1 expression within the Achilles tendon was also significantly increased. Conclusion This study suggests that high glucose conditions upregulate the expression of mRNA for NOX1 and IL-6 and the production of ROS. Moreover, high glucose conditions induce an abnormal tendon matrix expression pattern of type I collagen and a decrease in the proliferation of rat tenocytes. Cite this article: Y. Ueda, A. Inui, Y.

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
Authors: Carlos Rodríguez-Merchán E. , Gómez-Cardero Primitivo 
Published: June 2018

An age younger than 60 years, a body weight of 180 lb (82 kg) or more, performing heavy work, having chondrocalcinosis and having exposed bone in the patellofemoral (PF) joint are not contraindications for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Severe wear of the lateral facet of the PF joint with bone loss and grooving is a contraindication for UKA. Medial UKA should only be performed in cases of severe osteoarthritis (OA) as shown in pre-operative X-rays, with medial bone-on-bone contact and a medial/lateral ratio of < 20%. The post-operative results of UKA are generally good. Medium-term and long-term studies have reported acceptable results at 10 years, with implant survival greater than 95% for UKAs performed for medial OA or osteonecrosis and for lateral UKA, especially when fixed-bearing implants are used. When all implant-related re-operations are considered, the 10-year survival rate is 94%, and the 15-year survival rate is 91%. Aseptic loosening is the principal failure mechanism in the first few years in mobile-bearing implants, whereas OA progression causes most failures in later years in fixed-bearing implants. The overall complication rate and the comprehensive re-operation rate are comparable in both mobile bearings and fixed bearings. The survival likelihood of the all-polyethylene UKA implant is similar to that of metal-backed modular designs for UKA. Notable cost savings of approximately 50% can be achieved with an outpatient UKA surgery protocol. Outpatient surgery for UKA is efficacious and safe, with satisfactory clinical results thus far.

Related rhythms: Situating Zhang Peili and contemporary Chinese video art in the globalizing art world
Authors: Cacchione Orianna 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Despite being considered the first video artist to work in China, the majority of Zhang Peili’s earliest video works were originally exhibited abroad. In many of these exhibitions, his videos were displayed in different installation formats and configurations. One of the most evident of these changes occurred at the travelling exhibition China Avant-Garde. In Berlin, the opening venue of the exhibition, two videos were displayed in ways that differed from their original presentations; Document on Hygiene No. 3 (1991) and Assignment No. 1 (1992) were presented as singlechannel videos on single monitors instead of the multiple monitor installations previously used to show the works in Shanghai and Paris, respectively. Water: Standard Version from the Cihai Dictionary (1991) premiered in Berlin as a single-channel, single-monitor work. However, when it was installed in the exhibition’s Rotterdam venue, the work was shown on a nine-monitor grid. This article explores what caused the flexibility in the display of Zhang Peili’s early videos. I argue that these transformations demonstrate Zhang Peili’s conceptualization of video as a medium for art and his navigation of the rapidly globalizing art world. While the initial examples of this flexibility in installation were often caused by miscommunications with international curators, later exhibitions provided a regular venue for Zhang Peili to develop his approach to the ‘scene’ (chang) and ‘content’ (neirong) of video installation. Furthermore, as one of the most active Chinese artists working and exhibiting abroad in the 1990s, Zhang Peili was placed within the middle of domestic and international debates about the globalization of contemporary Chinese art. He responded to these debates by expelling signifiers of national identity in his videos and by forcefully deriding these discussions as a form of nationalism. Considering his video work from the perspective of its international presentation provides an important example of how artists working in China situated themselves in relationship to global art production in the 1980s and 1990s.
The aesthetics of the multitude in Chen Chieh-Jen’s Lingchi: Echoes of a Historical Photograph (2002) – A genealogy
Authors: Wei Chu-Chiun 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Taiwanese artist Chen Chieh-Jen’s video works directly address Taiwan’s post-martial law condition. His video installations demonstrate what I propose to identify as ‘the aesthetics of the multitude’. Through the process of filmmaking, Chen imagines the possibility of a collective political alliance. Theorized by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, the multitude rejects reductive identity politics and acts against capitalism. The multitude depicted in Chen’s work suggests a democratic potential that has the capacity to resist the sustained exploitation and homogenization that exists under neo-liberal globalization. His first video installation, Lingchi: Echoes of a Historical Photograph (2002), not only sets the tone for his later works but also signals a paradigm shift in Taiwanese contemporary art from the national to the global after 2000. I argue that Chen’s aesthetics of the multitude move beyond the contentious issue of national identity that characterizes Taiwan’s postcolonial art in the 1990s and anticipates the formation of a postnational subjectivity.
Ai Weiwei’s furniture-sculpture: Radical ambiguity and the function of critique
Authors: Duffy Owen 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This article will examine the evolving function of critique in the work of artist, activist and dissident Ai Weiwei since the mid-1990s. It will do so by first considering Ai’s manipulated and transformed furniture in relation to the inundation of Ming and Qing Dynasty antiques on the market during the 1980s and 1990s to demonstrate how his art uses ambiguity to critique western market expectations. Throughout his artistic career from 1996 to the present, Ai has repurposed antique furniture, doors and temple beams as sculptures and installations. If this under-researched yet important group of works by him is considered through a socio-economic framework and a Duchampian sense of irony, as this article intends to do, these pieces will be able to be understood as sardonic assisted readymades, with a specific set of different meanings for people in China and the West. Differing from prevailing views of Ai’s repurposed antiques that have regarded them as objects moving away from their Chinese sources, i.e. their ‘Chinese-ness’, this article will look at his sculptures and installations, which incorporate while dramatically altering these historical objects, as satirizing western consumption of Chinese culture and history. It will also situate the works as critical of a consequence of China’s rapid transition to global stage: consumers’ and government’s tendency to erode cultural heritage, sites, and artefacts in exchange for economic growth and the new. Ultimately, this article will suggest that these works source their political thrust from a type of ‘radical ambiguity’ that Ai has now expunged from his practice in favour of more determinate means of critique.
‘Words divide, Images connect’: The politics of language and the language of politics in Xu Bing’s Book from the Sky and Book from the Ground
Authors: Teo Wenny 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Xu Bing’s Book from the Sky (1987–91) is widely regarded as one of the most important artworks in the global contemporary art canon; a spectacular installation comprised of an invented lexicon of 4000 pseudo-Chinese characters laboriously hand-carved and printed onto rice paper scrolls that is utterly illegible. Some two decades later, Xu published Book from the Ground: From Point to Point (2014), a 112-page ‘graphic novel’ written entirely in the international visual vernacular of emoji, icons and symbols culled from the Internet, which according to the artist, ‘virtually anyone can read’. This article explores how the artist’s long-standing preoccupation with visual over verbal forms of communication both plays to the idealization of the Chinese logograph as a model for a ‘new media literacy’ in the global imaginary, whilst also reflecting the culturally-coded anxieties centred on the murky politics of language, and the language of politics, in modern and contemporary China. Reading between the lines of what is touted to be an ‘open book’, it considers the degree to which the banal panoply of utterly conventional signs that constitute the Book from the Ground might be encrypted with a subversive subtext – one that is in dialogue with grassroots forms of online resistance that similarly play on the visual-verbal properties of the Chinese logograph to subvert the limitations placed on the seeable and sayable in contemporary China.
Finding meaning in fog: The liminal experience represented
Authors: Bell Louise 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
The liminal space – the site of the in-between, transient and ephemeral borderlines. How is this shifting non-place illustrated within art and literature?
With fog.
In this brief examination I shall look at how fog is represented within the creative practices of illustrator Angela Barrett, artist Brooks Shane Salzwedel and photographer Agatha A. Nitecka whilst referencing its occurrence within a cultural context.
Fog responds constantly to its own environment, revealing and concealing features [...]. Fog makes visible things become invisible and invisible things; like wind (and space), become visible.
Introducing the West to America: Thomas Moran’s illustrations of Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon in Scribner’s Monthly Magazine
Authors: Knox Page S. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Published in 1870 during the rapid rise of print media in the United States, Scribner’s Monthly was the first of the American monthlies to fully embrace illustration. In its initiation of improvements in reproduction technology and promotion of its illustrations as ‘fine art’, Scribner’s transformed the acceptance, appreciation and consumption of printed images by the American public. Scribner’s editor Richard Watson Gilder also capitalized on the public’s emerging fascination with the West. Aware of the unique aspects of these wilderness regions and the unprecedented variety of unusual landscapes afforded by places such as Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon, Gilder took advantage of the opportunity to introduce these uncharted regions to his eastern audience. In order to make articles on western discovery and exploration interesting and accessible, Gilder realized the need for dramatic imagery that not only documented these novel territories but also appealed to Scribner’s targeted market, middle and upper class Protestants who held religious and romantic associations with the West. Recognizing his talent as an illustrator and a landscape painter, Gilder hired Thomas Moran, whose initial images of Yellowstone published in 1871 led to a rapid rise in circulation and fueled readers’ interest in the previously unknown lands. While Moran’s subject matter was the ‘Wonders of the West’, he relied heavily on established landscape aesthetics, as dictated by British critic John Ruskin; with their imbued sense of ‘geo-piety’, his panoramic vistas made these mysterious territories and their geysers, hot springs and mudbaths visually acceptable to readers in their adoption of traditional visual metaphors such as rainbows, waterfalls, and other sublime motifs. Through an in depth discussion of the illustrations of Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon, the paper examines the means by which Moran and Gilder offered the American public its first glimpse of the West, constructing indelible images of places associated with geographic destiny, economic opportunity and spiritual resources that became part of the national psyche on the pages of Scribner’s.
Mammon, myth, and monkey-doodles
Authors: Prosser Bill 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Mark Rothko’s Seagram murals in the Tate gallery and his suicide are well-known, but his illustrations are not. As a struggling artist in New York during the 1920s, he was commissioned to produce artwork for The Graphic Bible by Lewis Browne, a task that proved to be problematic on several levels. This essay examines the toll that this experience took on Rothko, and how it may have influenced his later career.

The challenges have occurred in the context of the remit of radio public broadcaster. The context is quite complex and is made up of a number of elements connected with both a new concept of a public broadcaster and changes within the broadcasting organization itself, and the way in which the technology change is managed.
The work of women’s NGOs on commercial radio in the West Bank: Frustrations and shortcomings
Authors: Heywood Emma 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This article examines the work of women’s non-governmental organizations (NGOs) on West Bank radio as they represent women, a marginalized community, within a patriarchal, traditional and religious society. It also examines the commercial and societal difficulties faced by radio stations in their interactions with NGOs. Using a quantitative and qualitative approach, this article analyses data from six commercial, rather than state-owned or community, radio stations in four West Bank cities and discusses the frustrations of both parties as they work together. Contributing to the limited literature on the role of radio in the West Bank, the article also draws on interviews with representatives from the chosen stations and the NGOs that broadcast material on radio stations. The findings suggest that, for the NGOs and in contrast to other media, radio plays an important, albeit currently limited, role as amplifiers for their campaigns. Yet the radio stations do not contribute substantively, if at all, to encouraging NGO community-building activities and, in fact, restrict themselves to a commercial-based association.
‘I’ve got my eyes open and I can’t be crooked’: Race, female virtue and national identity in Terry and the Pirates
Authors: Martin Catherine 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
The Second World War-era US network radio programmes augmented nationalist propaganda by connecting American national identity to white patriarchal gender norms. Juvenile adventure radio serials like Terry and the Pirates (TATP) joined this effort and countered criticism of their negative influence on children by promoting their ability to teach young audiences socially sanctioned values like respect for established authority and cultural norms. Within this cultural and industrial context, characters like April Kane became ‘discursive “relay station[s]”’ through which wartime debates over women’s changing cultural and economic status were circulated, contested and produced. TATP tested April’s dedication to an idealized American way of life by pairing and contrasting her with queered and exoticized racial others, including sexually deviant female criminals and subservient foreign men. April passed this inquisition by identifying with Burma, the series’ other white heroine, and adhering to traditional feminine values like honesty, passivity and deference to white patriarchal authority. These comparisons reaffirmed a gendered hierarchy that prioritized white men and simultaneously diminished and divided white women and foreign men.

¡Tienes un Match! Autorrepresentaciones y rasgos comunicativos de las interacciones de jóvenes en Tinder
Authors: Fernández-Fernández Diego , Calvo-González Soraya , Rodríguez-Pérez Sara , Rodríguez-Menéndez Mª del Carmen 
Published: June 2018

Este artículo es una aproximación a un fenómeno comunicativo emergente: el uso de apps de citas y su influencia en las relaciones emocionales entre personas jóvenes. Nuestra investigación trata de comprender qué ocurre en los encuentros, las interacciones y las relaciones generadas entre las personas de entre 18 y 30 años que utilizan la app de citas Tinder. Para ello, deseamos conocer con qué actitudes, conocimientos y valores se enfrentan las personas usuarias de esta plataforma a nuevos contextos de socialización online. El trabajo se fundamenta en una metodología cualitativa de tipo fenomenológica y narrativo-biográfica que parte de una profunda revisión bibliográfica actualizada. La recogida de información se llevó a cabo a lo largo del mes de abril de 2017 y se aplicaron diferentes técnicas, tales como grupos focales y cuestionarios sociodemográficos. Las conclusiones ofrecen aproximaciones a rasgos específicos de las dinámicas de autorrepresentación, selección de perfiles y construcción intencionada de identidades digitales. Así mismo, justificamos la necesidad de una educación sexual crítica con perspectiva de género y basada en la diversidad que incorpore estos nuevos modelos de interacción. Planteamos la pertinencia de incorporar futuras intervenciones socioeducativas que promuevan la convivencia intersexual positiva y la multialfabetización en forma de educación sexual mediática.

This study was designed to evaluate the potential risks of the Azithromycin administration on fetuses. Therefore pregnant rats were received Azithromycin orally (90 and 180 mg/kg b.wt, daily) from sixth day until the fifteenth day of gestation. At 20th day of gestation female sacrificed; abortion, fetal resorptions, visceral examination, skeletal examination, Oxidative stress markers and histopathological examination for fetuses were recorded. Azithromycin caused abortion, fetal resorptions, growth retardation, hematoma and paralysis of limbs. Also caused cerebral dilatation, microcephaly, perforation of hard palate and hemorrhage around internal organs. By skeletal examination; weak and incomplete ossification were observed in bones .Biochemical studies showed that Azithromycin administration resulted in decreased glutathione reduced but increased malonaldahyde compared to control groups. Fetal kidney revealed degeneration and necrosis in the tubular lining epithelium and fibrosis in between the atrophied renal tubules. This study supports and proofs the potential risks of the azithromycin administration on fetuses.Â Â
