Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in children with open growth plates
Authors: Sadykov Rustam Sh , Bogatov Viktor B , Norkin Aleksey I 
Published: October 2016

Introduction. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are observed in 10%–32% of all traumatic lesions of the knee joint in children. Open growth plates are a serious problem in the treatment of ACL tears. Most modern methods of ACL reconstruction use transepiphyseal channels, which go through the growth plates. This may lead to angle deformity of the knee development, limb shortening and early arthritis.Material and methods. We observed 12 patients (11–17 years old; mean age, 13.2 years) with ACL tears with opened growth plates, who were operated on between 2006 and 2010. ACL reconstruction was performed arthroscopically using the BTB-technique and synthetic grafts DONA-M.Results. In all cases, we achieved poor results, especially when the operation was done by BTB. We avoided shortening of the leg, but arthritis was common and progressed quickly. When we tried stabilize the joint, we achieved the reverse effect – pain in the knee, with a decreased quality of life.Conclusion. Our results demonstrate that ACL reconstruction in children with opened growth pates is not effective; we suggest performing the procedure after the growth has finished.

Background. Evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment of long-bone fractures of the lower extremities should be comprehensive and include both subjective and objective indicators. In the developed countires, it is standard to assess the quality of life related to children’s health after trauma. According to the Russian literature, such assessment has not been studied. The aim of our study was to assess the quality of life in children, with long-bone fractures of the lower extremities, and to compare the results with data from the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) and assessment system according to N.B. Duysenov.Materials and methods. We examined 70 patients (age range, 8–18 years) with long-bone fractures of the lower extremities. Forty patients had a history of tibia fracture, and 30 patients had a history of femoral fracture. We determined the severity of the fractures using pediatric comprehensive classification of long-bone fractures (PCCF). We assessed the quality of life of the children using the Pediatric Questionnaire for Quality of Life (PedsQLTM 4.0).Results. Trauma had a significant impact on the quality of life in children. The children evaluated their quality of life after injury more objectively; on all scales, their scores had the highest correlation with LEFS and assessment system according to N.B Duysenov. In most cases, parents underestimated the mental and physical burden of their child’s condition after injury. The values for the “physical functioning” assessment in children with severe trauma was the lowest, and was not significantly different between parents and children. Parents who were aware of the severity of the injury gave their child more attention, which positively affected the child’s psychological and social functioning. Children with severe trauma had higher values on the emotional, social and role functioning scale, compared to children with minor injuries.Conclusions. The results of all functional scales in the quality of life assessment, as assessed by the children themselves at different times after injury, had the highest correlation with LEFS and assessment system according to N.B. Duysenov. LEFS is the most informative for examining the consequences of fractures of different severity. There were no significant differences among the children with fractures of varying severity using the assessment system according to N.B. Duysenov.
Clinical diagnosis of rigid forms of flatfeet in children
Authors: Sapogovskiy Andrei V 
Published: October 2016

Introduction. Tarsal coalition is congenital bony, cartilaginous, or fibrous fusion between tarsal bones. The most specific clinical feature of these patients is limitation of tarsal joints mobility. Foot mobility is evaluated using a few clinical tests-tip-toe test, Jack test, and manual evaluation of passive foot inversion/eversion. However, these tests do not have high rates of sensitivity and specificity, and cannot be used to make differential diagnosis among the different types of coalitions.Aims. To improve the clinical diagnosis of calcaneonavicular coalitions.Materials and methods. We present a new clinical test-evaluation of calcaneonavicular segment mobility. To evaluate this test, we studied a group of 100 children (155 feet), which included those with talocalcaneal coalitions (22 patients/30 feet), calcaneonavicular coalitions (28 patients/45 feet), and those without tarsal coalitions (50 patients/80 feet).Results. The sensitivity of the test was 95.6%, and specificity was 93.3%. This test had good reproducibility, as evidenced by the inter-rater reliability coefficient of 0.818.Conclusions. The clinical test presented here can be used to identify patients with calcaneonavicular coalitions, which could not be identified using other clinical tests of foot mobility

El primer Manierismo toscano y P. P. Pasolini
Authors: Rossi Annunziata 
Published: October 2016

Para Carmen GaitánEn memoria de Federico Campbell El Manierismo nace en Toscana en los años 20 del siglo XVI, después de la aparición fulgurante de los tres grandes astros —Rafael, Leonardo y Miguel Ángel—, que con su obra creativa cierran el pleno Renacimiento. Leonardo muere en 1519, Rafael en l520, y Miguel Ángel continuará laborando en las obras para los Médici, hasta su muerte en 1564, a los 89 años. Con ellos el Renacimiento ha dado todo de sí. De hecho, las últimas obras de Rafael y Miguel Ángel contienen los gérmenes de la disolución y están llenas de fermentos anticlásicos. Miguel Ángel, como se sabe, anticipa ya el Barroco en la cúpula de la Basílica de San Pedro en Roma, en la Piedad Rondanini (Milán, Castillo Sforzesco) y en la Biblioteca Laurenciana de Florencia.

Sod Strength Characteristics of 51 Cool‐Season Turfgrass Mixtures
Authors: Friell Joshua , Watkins Eric , Horgan Brian P. , Cavanaugh Matthew 
Published: October 2016

Core Ideas
Turfgrass seed mixtures containing fine fescue species can produce sod that achieves equal or greater strength than those containing large amounts of Kentucky bluegrass when harvested 22 mo after establishment.
Change in proportion of fine fescues from each initial seed mixture to the resulting final plant community was negatively correlated with sod strength characteristics.
Thatch development was only weakly correlated with either maximum tensile load or work required to tear sod.
Mixtures with different seed compositions, but resulting in similar or identical final species compositions, often possessed very different mechanical properties.
Successful establishment of turfgrass on roadsides often necessitates using species mixtures not typically used for sod production. Evaluating mechanical characteristics of sod produced using such mixtures is necessary to determine if they possess sufficient strength for harvest and handling. The objective of this work was to evaluate tensile strength and work required to tear sod of mixtures of nine cool‐season turfgrass species previously determined to perform well on Minnesota roadsides. Three replications of 51 mixtures were established in a randomized complete block design at St. Paul and Rosemount, MN. Plots were seeded during September 2012 and harvested in July 2014. Tensile testing revealed that plots seeded with 40% strong creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra ssp. rubra Gaudin), 40% Chewings fescue [F. rubra ssp. fallax (Thuill.) Nyman], and 20% alkaligrass [Puccinellia distans (L.) Parl.] resulted in a final plant community comprising 99% fine fescues (Festuca spp.) and produced sod with the highest maximum tensile load to tear of 507.7 Newtons. At St. Paul, maximum work required to tear sod was 16.57 Nm for a final plant community comprising 98% fine fescues and 2% Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.). At Rosemount, maximum work required to tear sod was 38.86 Nm for a final plant community comprising 90% fine fescue, 9% creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.), and 1% weed cover. Mixtures currently used on Minnesota roadsides containing high Kentucky bluegrass content were consistently among the weakest in the trial and sod comprising alternative species can match or improve the strength of those mixtures.

Published: October 2016

Optimizing nutrient supply can promote plant growth, minimize production input, and enhance economic returns in crops. Here, we determined the effect of different fertilizer strategies on the tuber yield and economic outcomes in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Six fertilizer treatments were arranged in a randomized, complete block design at Dingxi Research Station (104°35′ E, 35°36′ N), Gansu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, from 2008 to 2010. Balanced fertilizer strategy (i.e., N, P, and K nutrients were combined in an appropriate ratio) was compared with imbalanced treatments where N, P, or K nutrient was omitted in decrement in the fertilizer strategy. On average, the balanced strategy increased tuber yield by 25% in 2008, 35% in 2009, and 14% in 2010, compared with imbalanced treatments, and 74% in 2008, 81% in 2009, and 33% in 2010, compared with no‐fertilizer control. Among the three nutrient elements, N component contributed an average of 18% of the increased tuber yield, P contributed 14%, and K contributed 13%. The combination of N, P, and K together in a package led to an additional 18% yield increase on the top of the yield contributed individually by each of the three nutrient components. The balanced strategies also led to 11% greater net return than the imbalanced treatments and 29% greater net return compared with the control. The combination of N, P, and K in an appropriate ratio can serve as an effective fertilizer strategy to achieve additional tuber yield, improve marketing quality, and enhance economic returns in potato production.Core Ideas

One of the primary objectives in this study was to determine the relative contribution of individual nutrient elements (N, P, or K) to the tuber yield and to quantify whether the combination of the three key nutrients in a package would increase potato tuber yield further.
The fertilizer management treatments had a significant effect on the economic outcome each year. Averaged across the study sites, the NPK balanced fertilizer strategy had the highest production cost due to the highest input of fertilizers, but this strategy also led to a 11% greater net return (gross income mines input cost excluding laboring) than the other fertilizer treatments and 29% greater than the zero‐fertilizer control.
The mechanism responsible for the additional 18% of the increased tuber yield with the balanced fertilizer strategy was not determined in the present study. However, our data suggest that the combination of all the nutrients together in a package promoted the coordination between aboveground DM accumulation and tuber yield, expressed by the ratios of the two variables at the various growth stages.
The Southern Divide: Testing morphological differences among bifacial points from southern and southeastern Brazil using geometric morphometrics
Authors: Okumura Mercedes , Araujo Astolfo G. M. 
Published: October 2016

Bifacial points have been used to characterize the “Umbu” tradition in southern and southeastern Brazil. This archaeological tradition has been related to sites dated from the late Pleistocene-early Holocene boundary to near historical times. Such a huge temporal range and vast territory have suggested the existence of greater diversity within this tradition that has been ignored thus far due to the lack of systematic regional studies of such points. Through geometric morphometric analysis, this article aims to test the hypothesis that there are substantial differences in the Holocene bifacial points associated with the Umbu tradition in southeastern Brazil. Five landmarks were digitized in standardized photographs from 658 points from the states of São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul. The results show that points made by groups from southeastern Brazil (São Paulo state) present a very distinct morphology (size and shape) in comparison to those made by the southern groups (Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul). This would indicate a regional identity shared only by some groups from São Paulo (at least regarding the projectile points). It is possible that Umbu tradition presents a more restricted range, both in chronological and spatial terms, than the one proposed so far.

MEASURING PROTOPLANETARY DISK GAS SURFACE DENSITY PROFILES WITH ALMA
Authors: Williams Jonathan P. , McPartland Conor 
Published: October 2016

ABSTRACT
The gas and dust are spatially segregated in protoplanetary disks due to the vertical settling and radial drift of large grains. A fuller accounting of the mass content and distribution in disks therefore requires spectral line observations. We extend the modeling approach presented in Williams & Best to show that gas surface density profiles can be measured from high fidelity 13CO integrated intensity images. We demonstrate the methodology by fitting ALMA observations of the HD 163296 disk to determine a gas mass, M

c

To test how well this methodology can be applied to future line surveys of smaller, lower mass T Tauri disks, we create a large 13CO 2–1 image library and fit simulated data. For disks with gas masses 3–10 M

Background We aimed to measure the effect of raltegravir (RAL) on insulin sensitivity and surrogates of cardiovascular risk in healthy HIV-seronegative volunteers compared to that of lopinavir/r (LPV/r), a positive control. Methods An open-label, two phase crossover study in HIV-negative male subjects randomized 1:1 to receive either 2 weeks of LPV/r followed by a 2-week washout period and 2 weeks of RAL, or RAL initially followed by LPV/r. A hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamp was performed prior to and following each 2-week dosing phase. Fasting samples for lipids, adiponectin, leptin, vascular inflammatory biomarkers and CD36 were also taken. Results A total of 16 subjects completed the study. At the baseline visit the mean insulin-stimulated glucose disposal per unit insulin (M/I) was 7.97 and 8.30 for LPV/r and RAL, respectively. The mean (sem) percentage change from baseline was -16.10% (3.84) after 2 weeks of LPV/r and -0.43% (4.83) after 2 weeks of RAL. Absolute M/I was 25% lower for LPV/r than for RAL ( P=0.001). Triglycerides and total cholesterol rose significantly with LPV/r (+0.5 mmol/l, P=0.002 and +0.4 mmol/l, P<0.0001), but were unchanged with RAL. Proathrogenic lipid subfractions of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol increased with LPV/r and were unaffected with RAL. LDL peak and mean particle diameter and LDL I significantly decreased with LPV/r ( P<0.05), and trend of increased LDL III was detected. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein declined with RAL (-0.2 mg/l, P=0.043) but was elevated after LPV/r (+0.25 mg/l, P=0.03). Conclusions RAL was not associated with measurable change in glycaemic, metabolic or inflammatory effects.

O objetivo da pesquisa foi qualificar e comparar a objetividade e replicabilidade do uso de um programa computacional para análises de tempo-movimento (ATM) e técnico-táticas em combates de judô por expertise. Participaram desse estudo 22 sujeitos (12 praticantes, sendo 6 experts e 6 não-experts, e 10 não-praticantes), os quais qualificaram o instrumento via questionário e realizaram 150 análises (90=comparações inter-grupos; 60=comparações intra-grupo). Os resultados revelaram diferença nas respostas sobre o uso desse tipo de programa por parte de praticantes e não-praticantes (Q=26,571, p<0,001, GL=3) e as correlações mostraram concordância “forte” para ATM (índice=0,76) e concordância “fraca” para análises técnico-táticas (índice=0,08) entre praticantes e não-praticantes, com concordância intra-grupo “distante” ou “moderada” para não-praticantes (índice=0,23). Em conclusão, ATM apresentou objetividade e replicabilidade nos três grupos; para análises técnico-táticas se faz necessária a expertise ou a prática da modalidade.

Muitos pacientes pós-cirúrgicos de revascularização do miocárdio elegíveis para reabilitação cardíaca não estão sendo atendidos, é importante uma rotatividade nos centros de atendimento, de forma que outros possam se beneficiar do tratamento. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar possíveis efeitos da substituição de programa de reabilitação cardiovascular supervisionado (fase III) para não supervisionado (fase IV), durante dois meses, na capacidade funcional, variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC) e parâmetros cardiometabólicos de indivíduos com diagnóstico de doenças cardiovasculares. Foram avaliados 10 pacientes que encontravam-se em programa de reabilitação cardíaca fase III por período mínimo de seis meses, elegíveis para reabilitação não supervisionada. Os parâmetros analisados foram capacidade funcional, VFC, pressão arterial, glicemia capilar, relação cintura quadril e índice de massa corpórea. Indivíduos submetidos a atividades não supervisionadas durante dois meses, não apresentaram alterações significativas nos parâmetros avaliados. A Fase IV manteve adaptações obtidas e deve ser incentivada à pacientes de baixo risco cardiovascular que apresentaram benefícios na fase III.
