Authors: Haque SM Shahidul , Rahman Md Fashiur , Yousuf Mohammad , Karim Md Rezaul , Hasan M Kamrul 
Published: January 2019

Introduction: Adhesive capsulitis is one of the most common causes of pain and disability of the shoulder joint. Most patients are managed conservatively in a primary care setting with the expectation of a good outcome. There are many alternative forms of treatment for this condition. Several interventions are also used in combination for its management but most of it remained unclear. Ultra Sound Therapy (UST) is commonly employed as a first line agent for the management of adhesive capsulitis. But whether the UST (Ultra Sound Therapy) and MWD (Micro Wave Diathermy) therapy would produce a significant difference in out come was not yet settled.
Objective: To compare the efficacy of ultra sound therapy (UST) and micro wave diathermy (MWD) for the management of patients with adhesive capsulitis of shoulder joint.
Materials and Methods: This observational study was carried out in the Department of Physical Medicine at Combined Military hospital, Dhaka from 01 May 2015 to 30 November 2015. A total of eighty patients were enrolled in this study and they were divided into two equal groups. One group received counseling plus UST (Ultra Sound Therapy) (1MHz @ 1.0 Watt/cm2 area for 10 minutes for two weeks) with physical exercise. Another group received counseling, MWD (Micro Wave Diathermy) and physical exercise for same period. Each group received the above mentioned modalities on the basis of five days a week for 06 weeks.
Results: The result was observed by applying VAS (Visual analog scale) pain scale and SPADI (Shoulder Pain And Disability Index) pain score. The highest significant improvement (P<0.005) was observed in group “A” throughout the whole treatment period.
Conclusion: In this study, most patients with adhesive capsulitis were benefited with counseling plus Ultrasound therapy and physical exercise rather than counseling plus Microwave Diathermy with physical exercise.

The Effect of Two Different Types of Corrective Feedback on EFL Students’ Writing
Authors: ERÇİN Nalan 
Published: January 2019

The present study aims to compare the effectiveness of
two different types of corrective feedback: implicit and explicit through
learners’ process writing. Process writing is a method which includes drafts to
observe students’ improvement with the help of the following drafts. In this
study, the sequence of drafts is like that: D1, D2 and D3. The research is conducted with 30 Turkish
elementary level students from the preparatory school at Kocaeli University.
The writing subjects are chosen in harmony with the subjects in the coursebook This treatment lasts 4 hours in school and
continues for students after school for 6 weeks. Students were expected to
submit their second draft via email. The students are evenly divided into two
groups. While the students in control group receive the correction on their
draft 1 and 2 explicitly such as direct correction; the students in the
treatment group are expected to infer their errors on their own from the
symbols in the correction symbols chart given them beforehand. The data
obtained from the second drafts given for the correction to the students after
applying various corrective feedback to the students' initial drafts show that
the error rate decreases in the second drafts in both groups. A similar
treatment standing as Draft 3 is conducted both with the control and
experimental groups after a week later. The data obtained show that there is a
decrease in the error free clauses rate in the third draft when compared to the
students’ second draft. Out of two different types of corrective feedback, the
implicit feedback is slightly more effective.

Authors: Tsai Tseng-Chiang , Wu Wen-Chuan 
Published: January 2019

* BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of simultaneous surgery for cataract and retinal detachment.
* PATIENTS AND METHODS: Six patients with a diagnosis of retinal detachment accompanied by dense cataracts precluding fundus visualization were enrolled in this study. A triple procedure involving phacoemulsification, posterior chamber intraocular lens insertion, and scleral buckling was performed in all six cases.
* RESULTS: A clear intraoperative view of the fundus was obtained in all cases and retinal breaks were identified in five cases. The retina was successfully reattached in all six cases, five of which showed improvement in visual acuity.
* CONCLUSION: Combined cataract and scleral buckling surgery can be performed safely. This procedure spares the patient repeat surgery and may improve the visual outcome by clearly identifying the breaks and avoiding delays in detachment repair.

Authors: Leibovitch Igal , Loewenstein Anat , Alster Yair , Rosenblatt Irit , Lazar Moshe , Yassur Yuval , Rubinstein Ardon 
Published: January 2019

* BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of interferon alpha-2a, an angiogenesis inhibitor, on eyes with active neovascularization after complete laser panretinal photocoagulation treatment.
* PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eight patients with active neovascularization persisting for 6 months or more aftet completion of full panretinal photocoagulation were included in the study. All patients were treated with subcutaneous injections of 6 million international units of interferon alpha-2a, 3 times a week, for an average period of 10 months. Visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, blood tests, fundus photographs, fluorescein angiography, and physical examination were performed periodically. The main outcome measures were visual acuity and extent of neovascularization as assessed by fundus photography and fluorescein angiography.
* RESULTS: The 5 men and 3 women (mean age, 60 years) had a mean duration of diabetes of 19 years. The average study follow-up was 42.2 ± 8.7 weeks. Visual acuity and extent of neovascularization improved or remained stable in 7 patients. In none of the patients was there progression of neovascularization, but in 1 patient it could not be assessed due to vitreous hemorrhage. Most patients had malaise during the first weeks of treatment, but none of the patients suffered from nonreversible side effects associated with interferon alpha-2a.
* CONCLUSION: This pilot study provides evidence that interferon alpha-2a might have a role in the regression of proliferative diabetic retinopathy and that further investigation is warranted.

Published: January 2019

* BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the outcomes of vitreoretinal surgery for the ocular complications of Behcet's disease.
* PATIENTS AND METHODS: This retrospective study included 20 eyes of 15 patients with Behcet's disease (9 men, 6 women; mean age at surgery, 31.0 ±1.8 years; range, 21-4À years) who had undergone vitreoretinal surgery for Behcet's disease at Ondokuz Mayis University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology, Samsun, Turkey, between January 2000 and September 2003. Postoperative visual acuity outcome, course of uveitis, and complications were evaluated in all patients.
* RESULTS: Indications for surgery were vitreous opacities in 10 eyes (50%), cystoid macular edema in 5 eyes (25%), epiretinal membrane in 3 eyes (15%), and vitreous hemorrhage in 2 eyes (10%). At the last postoperative follow-up, visual acuity had increased 2 Snellen lines or more in 10 (50%) of 20 eyes. Cystoid macular edema completely improved in 3 (60%) of 5 eyes after vitrectomy. Uveitis attacks significantly decreased during follow-up (P= .015). Immunosuppressive treatment was stopped in 11 (73%) of 15 patients. Retinal detachment and phthisis were not observed in any eye.
* CONCLUSION: Vitreoretinal surgery may be useful in the treatment of posterior segment complications of Behcet's disease.

The Effect of Compression on Clinical Diagnosis of Glaucoma Based on Non-analyzed Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy Images
Authors: Bélair Marie-Lyne , Fansi Alvine Kamdeu , Descovich Denise , PhD A-R , Harasymowycz Paul 
Published: January 2019

* BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of different image compression formats of non-analyzed Heidelberg Retina Tomography (HRT; Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) images on the diagnosis of glaucoma by ophthalmologists.
* MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-three topographic and reflectance images taken with the HRT representing different levels of disease were transformed using nine different compression formats. Three independent ophthalmologists, masked as to contour line and stereometric parameters, classified the original and compressed HRT images as normal, suspected glaucoma, or glaucoma, and Kappa agreement coefficients were calculated.
* RESULTS: The Tagged Image File Format had the largest file size and the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) 2000 format had the smallest size. The highest Kappa coefficient value was 1.00 for all ophthalmologists using the Tagged Image File Format. Kappa values for JPEG formats were all in the range of good to excellent agreement. Kappa values were lower for Portable Network Graphic and Graphics Interchange Format compression formats.
* CONCLUSION: Image compression with JPEG 2000 at a ratio of 20:1 provided sufficient quality for glaucoma analysis in conjunction with a relatively small image size format, and may prove to be attractive for HRT telemedicine applications. Further clinical studies validating the usefulness of interpreting non-analyzed HRT images are required.

Published: January 2019

* BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Secondary posterior subcapsular opacification is still among the most important complications after phacoemulsification.
* MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was designed to assess the inhibitory effects of drugs delivered via hydrophilic acrylic (hydrogel) intraocular lens (IOL) systems in vitro. Lens epithelial cells were collected from albino rabbits. The following seven groups of hydrogel IOLs were prepared: untreated IOLs and IOLs infiltrated with diclofenac sodium, tranilast, mitomycin C, colchicines, 5-fluorouracil, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. The IOLs were fixed to a Cell Culture Insert; they were then bathed and incubated in minimum essential medium containing cultured lens epithelial cells. Subsequently, a comparative analysis of the cells adhering to the collagen membrane and the lens surfaces was conducted.
* RESULTS: Adhesion of lens epithelial cells to the lens surfaces and the collagen membrane was observed in the control group. However, only slight cellular adhesion was found on the surfaces of the IOLs and on the collagen membrane in the treated IOL groups.
* CONCLUSION: Use of hydrogel IOLs infiltrated with drugs was associated with inhibition of posterior subcapsular opacification in vitro.

Authors: Katsanos A , Kóthy P , Konstas A G P , Vargha P , Holló G 
Published: January 2019

* BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Correlation between polarimetric retinal nerve fiber layer thickness measured with variable corneal compensation and retinal sensitivity measured with frequency-doubling technology (FDT) and standard automated perimetry (SAP) was investigated.
* PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty-four consecutive patients with chronic open-angle glaucoma and 17 healthy control subjects (1 randomly selected eye for each subject) were evaluated.
* RESULTS: For all subjects, quadrant scanning laser polarimetry parameters correlated positively with both FDT and SAP mean sensitivity of the opposite hemifield (P < .001). Global scanning laser polarimetry parameters correlated positively with FDT-mean sensitivity, SAP-mean sensitivity, and FDT-mean deviation, and negatively with SAP-mean deviation (in SAP, mean deviation is positive in case of sensitivity loss) (P ≤ .02). The nerve fiber indicator also correlated with FDT-pattern standard deviation and SAP-corrected loss variance (P ≤ .01). Using un-logged sensitivity values, no further correlations were found.
* CONCLUSION: Our results show that a similar structure-function relationship exists between polarimetric retinal nerve fiber layer thickness determined with variable corneal compensation and retinal sensitivity measured with SAP and FDT.

Abstract
Human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) harbor immunomodulatory properties to induce the generation of suppressive T cells. MSCs have been successfully used in treating graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) accompanied by abundant inflammatory cytokines such as IL-27. This study investigated the effects of IL-27 on the human placenta–derived MSCs (hPMSCs) to induce generation of CD4+IL-10+IFN-γ+ T cells in vitro and in the humanized xenogenic GVHD NOD/SCID model. The results showed that the percentages of CD4+IL-10+IFN-γ+ T cells were significantly increased in activated human PBMC from both healthy donors and GVHD patients with hPMSCs and in the liver and spleen of hPMSC-treated GVHD mice, and the level of CD4+IL-10+IFN-γ+ T cells in the liver was greater than that in the spleen in hPMSC-treated GVHD mice. The serum level of IL-27 decreased and the symptoms abated in hPMSC-treated GVHD. Further, in vitro results showed that IL-27 promoted the regulatory effects of hPMSCs by enhancing the generation of CD4+IL-10+IFN-γ+ T cells from activated PBMC. Activation occurred through increases in the expression of programmed death ligand 2 (PDL2) in hPMSCs via the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. These findings indicated that hPMSCs could alleviate GVHD mice symptoms by upregulating the production of CD4+IL-10+IFN-γ+ T cells in the spleen and liver and downregulating serum levels of IL-27. In turn, the ability of hPMSCs to induce the generation of CD4+IL-10+IFN-γ+ T cells could be promoted by IL-27 through increases in PDL2 expression in hPMSCs. The results of this study will be of benefit for the application of hPMSCs in clinical trials.
