AbstractBackground: Replacement of parenteral soybean oil (SO) with fish oil (FO) is an effective therapy for intestinal failure–associated liver disease (IFALD) in children. However, practitioners remain concerned about the risk of essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD) and sometimes treat IFALD with a combination of 50% SO and 50% FO emulsions. The purpose of this study was to determine if mixing 50% SO and 50% FO emulsions would prevent hepatosteatosis in a murine model of parenteral nutrition (PN)–induced hepatosteatosis. Methods: C57BL/6 mice were randomized to receive oral PN with parenteral saline, FO, SO, or a mixture of 50% FO and 50% SO for 19 days. Fatty acid analysis, histologic evaluation, Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Clinical Research Network (NSCRN) scores, and reverse‐transcriptase polymerase chain reaction for key lipogenic genes were performed. Results: The PN + saline group was the only group with EFAD, with a serum and hepatic triene/tetraene ratio of 0.53. NSCRN scores were highest in the PN + SO group (5.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.9–6.1), followed by the PN + FO/SO (4.5; 95% CI, 3.5–5.5) group, with the lowest score in the PN + FO (2.0; 95% CI, 1.1–2.9) group. Acetyl CoA carboxylase α and acetyl CoA carboxylase β expression was lower in the PN + FO group than in the PN + FO/SO or PN + SO groups. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that a mixed fat emulsion of 50% SO and 50% FO is inferior to 100% FO in reducing hepatosteatosis in this model. These data suggest that use of parenteral SO with parenteral FO, in a 1:1 ratio, may still contribute to liver injury, although it is less hepatotoxic than pure SO.

Published: March 2017

Introduction: MPFL reconstruction is an evidence-based and successful technique in treating patients with recurrent patellar instability without alignment problems or who have not yet undergone skeletal maturity for distal realignment surgery. Aim: The aim of this study is to report early results of patients who underwent MPFL reconstruction Method: 21 patients with lateral patellar instability who were treated with MPFL reconstruction using hamstring autogrefts in our clinic between 2012 and 2013 were evaluated. Mean age was 18.8 (8-32). Average age of first patellar dislocation was 13 (5-18). Patients’ history of complaints, pre and postoperative knee ROMs, patellofemoral pain scales, and patellofemoral instabilities were evaluated. These evaluations were done using Kujala score, İKDC (International Knee Documentation Committee) score, KOS(Knee Outcome Survey Activities Of Daily Living Score) score, Tegner activity score and VAS score. Results: 86% of our patient reported getting better with the surgery. The mean follow up was 25,2 months.Median Kujala score rose from 71 preop to 96 postop(p<0.05) and median İKDC score rose from 72 to 95(p<0.05). VAS score decreased from 3.4 to 1.2. KOS score was on average 83. Tegner activity score of our patients which was 2.57 preoperatively increased to 4.71. Only one patient had a decreased range of flexion (10 degrees on terminal flexion) and only one patient had persisting recurrent patellar dislocation (%4). The failure to treat this patient was attributed to his concurrent patologies consisting of patella alta, trochlear dysplasia and patellofemoral malalignment. Conclusion: MPFL reconstruction with hamstring autograft for treating patellar instability seems to be an effective surgical option according to early results. For late term results further follow-up is needed.

Published: March 2017

Background: Rotator cuff tears have an adverse effect on daily activities in personal disability and functional restriction. A few clinical studies have demonstrated the structural superiority of the double row technique. The aim of our study 3 cm below and the top of the rotator cuff tears and a double row repair technique with the results of the retrospectively our patients treated by comparing the results of double row repair techniques to understand the relationship between the tear size. Methods: In this retrospective study, and the data of patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in the years 2011-2014 were scanned as a single center. Inclusion criteria:1)3 cm above and below the rotator cuff tear preoperative identified by MRI imaging and confirmed by arthroscopy,2)which is operated by a double row repair techniques 3)do not benefit from conservative treatment 4)before patients are no operation history. Exclusion criteria: 1)partial tears, 2)irrepereabl tears, 3)arthritis in the shoulder x-ray, 4)are the follow-up of the patients over 2 years ago. In our study, patients under 3 cm (small and medium) and 3 cm above (large and massive) as we group. Tears under 3 cm was named as group 1, 3 cm above the tears were classified as group 2. 33 patients in group 1, 31 patients group 2 were classified. The patients preoperatively, postoperatively at 6 months, 12 months and finally at 24 months VAS scores, joint ROMs, Constant and UCLA scores were evaluated. At the end of 2 years, patients MRI taken as a result of rupture rates and functional outcomes were compared. Results: Between the groups; age, sex, side, AC joint pathology and the dominant limb with respect was found that no statistically significant difference (p>0.05). According to MRI results rupture rate of 33.3% in group 1, group 2 was found to be 19.4%. The comparison between groups; Constant score at all measurement values were found to be statistically significant difference (p<0.05). 3 cm below the rotator cuff tear time of four measurements was found to be higher than the constant score. The comparison between groups; VAS and UCLA scores in all measured time was found that no statistically significant difference (p>0.05). Conclusions: Double row repair technique is a safe surgical technique that can be applied regardless of the size of the tear. 3 cm above the rotator cuff tear in functional outcomes are worse, rupture rate is higher.

Published: March 2017

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of our first 20 cases of rotator cuff tear treated with arthroscopic transosseous technique Methods: Patients with supraspinatus and infraspinatus extended supraspinatus tears were included. Local etchical board acceptance was obtained. Surgical technique was trained with model and cadaver. Surgical technique was done using transosseous implant Sharc-FT (NCS Lab, Carpi, Italy) with arthroscopy. Acromyoplasty in all patients, subscapularis repair in 2 patients, biceps tenotomy in 4 patients, biceps tenodesis in 6 patients and acromyoclavicular coplanning in 6 patients were performed. During postoperative period, the standart rehabilitation protocol was performed. Prospectively collective datas were evaluated retrospectively. Outcomes were measured with surgery time, VAS score and Constant score at the preoperative period and the last follow-up. Rerupture was evaluated with magnetic resonance at the last follow-up. Results: The mean age was 52,2 (39-64) and follow-up was 16,4 month (14-20). Fifthteen of patients were female. The mean surgery time was 72 min (38-124). VAS score was 6.6±0.4 preoperatively and 1.6±0.5 at the last follow up. Constant score was 58.4±3.2 preoperatively and 84.4±3.8 at the last follow up. Statistically significant differences were determined. Two reruptures (%10) were determined. One patient with superficial infection was treated using antibioteraphy. Conclusions: The implant that we used in this study allows transosseous repair of rotator cuff with cortical fixation. Pull out problem that is seen with anchors is elaminated with this technique. We determined our results were satisfactory at the early period. But we think that bone-tendon healing need to be evaluated with long follow-up studies. [Figure: see text]

Objective: The main aim of this study was to measure effects of kinesiotaping on pain and range of motion in the conservative treatment of postoperative anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) rupture. Material-Methods: A total of 26 patients(24 women, 2 men) who had unilateral ACL rupture 64.46±9.00 years old(46-81years), 13 had physiotherapy only(mean age 64.46±9.35 years),13 had physiotherapy and kinesiotape(mean age 64.46±9.01 years).The patients in both groups received physiotherapy program (ultrasound with 1 MHz, 1W/cm2 during 5minutes; CPM; strength exercise for quadriceps muscle and cold pack during 15 minute). Kinesiotape was applied to the knee and quadriceps of the patient’s leg using a prescribed application to facilitate muscle performance for the experimental group versus a only physiotherapy group.The patients were treated 20 times for four weeks. Socio-demographic variables (gender, age, body mass index, Kellgren-Lawrence system for classification of knee osteoarthritis, use of analgesic drug, pain during rest and activity (VAS=Visual Analog Scale), range of motion of knee flexion and extansion (universal goniometer), circumference measurements of the knee and the quadriceps muscle (up to 10 cm of patella) were measured at baseline, mid the treatment program and after the treatment program. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 22.0 for Windows.Frequency and percentage (average, standard deviation)were used as descriptive statistics of the study.The Wilcoxon test was used to compare the differences between before and after treatment measurements.The Kruskal Wallis test was used to compare groups.Significance was accepted as p<0.05. Results: No significant differences were found in age and BMI between groups (p=0.898, 0.505). The data of stage 3(n=22) and 4(n=4) patients with osteoarthritis were gathered according to the Kellgren-Lawrence classification. Mean day of use of analgesic drug were 17.30±7.33 in KT group, 18.23±9.84 in physiotherapy group. When we compared pretreatment and posttreatment measures, significant differences were found in 2 groups. But KT group was better than the physiotherapy group in all parameters. Table 1 shows the comparison of the pre-treatment and post-treatment evaluation results between 2 groups. VAS scores during rest and activity, active flexion and extension of the knee, circumference measurements of the knee and the quadriceps muscle had better in KT group of patients when compare with physiotherapy program (p=0.008,0.000, 0.001, 0.000, 0.015, 0.045). [Table: see text] Conclusion: For KT group of patients, pain, range of motion and circumference measurements were improved after 20 sessions physiotherapy plus kinesiotape implementation in patients with anterior cruciate ligaman rupture. The findings showed decreased pain and increase range of motion.

Published: March 2017

Purpose: This study was undertaken to diagnose and to document clinical results and the technical aspects of arthroscopic meniscus repair for treating the recurrent subluxation with peripheral tears around popoliteal hiatus of the LM. Methods: Twenty two patients (23 knees) with symptomatic recurrent subluxation of the LM treated by arthroscopic meniscus repair were included. The inclusion criteria were (1) patients with knee pain, locking or snapping symptoms despite 3 months of conservative treatment, (2) non-discoid lateral meniscus, (3) stable knee, and (4) tears involving the red-white or red–red zone. All tears were repaired with either the modified all-inside suture technique only or a combination of the modified all-inside and modified outside-in techniques. Clinical results were evaluated preoperatively and at final follow-up using Tegner activity level, Lysolm knee, and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scores. Results: All patients returned to their prior life activities with little or no limitations, and no reoperation was required after an average follow-up of 52.3 months(range, 24–160). At the final follow-up, all knees achieved a full range of motion. Catching sensation was experienced in three knees, and limited function during squatting and jumping was complained in two knees. However no patient had recurrence of a locking episode. At the last follow-up, the mean Tegner activity level had improved significantly from 3.7 (range, 2–6) to 7.2 (range, 3–10, p<0.0001), mean Lysolm knee score improved from 75.1 92.0 (range, 76-100) preoperatively to 92.0 (range, 76-100) at final follow-up (p < 0.0001), and mean preoperative HSS score improved from 83.4 to 94.6 at final follow-up (p < 0.0001). Conclusion: Arthroscopic meniscus repair using the modified all-inside suture and outside-in techniques showed excellent clinical outcomes for treating symptomatic recurrent subluxation with peripheral tears around popoliteal hiatus of the LM without any complications or recurrence.

The Value of Transgender
Authors: Hegarty Benjamin 
Published: February 2017

AbstractThe globalization of transgender and its relationship to human rights has been accompanied by increased media interest in those so identified around the world. In Indonesia, this mostly involves the representation of male-to-female transgender-identified waria. While most mass media representations do portray them in narrow terms as the victims of violence, this does not undermine the value of transgender for waria. Seeing interaction with mass media in economic terms, many waria charge money for interviews and other media appearances. This article describes how waria understand affective labor for transnational mass media markets. They do so in terms of the historically understood association between work and visible claims for national belonging and recognition in Indonesia. Although such possibilities are situated in a context characterized by inequality, waria do consider the global scope of transgender to be of value as a way to expand their claims. A perspective that analyzes the circulation of transgender as it relates to global political economy helps clarify how the category produces uneven forms of value as it encounters diverse national and local contexts.

Published: March 2017

This paper explores a new approach to communication science as ‘practical
theory’. Three main types of communication science as ‘practical theory’
are analyzed: (1) ‘practical theory’ as mapping; (2) ‘practical theory’ as engagement;
and (3) ‘practical theory’ as transformation. Special attention is
given to the ways in which ‘practical theory’ is reflected in the following
epistemological paradigms: (1) knowledge by discovery; (2) knowledge by
interpretation; and (3) knowledge by criticism.

Published: March 2017

To modernize the current educational system, a powerful mechanism for accumulating and imparting knowledge should be created, capable to develop
qualitative competences of prospective specialists. As requirements for the professional competences of teaching staff are becoming increasingly stringent, the
need arises to search for and implement powerful incentives and methods of staff motivating with regard to the specifics of teaching at the high school.
Supportive institutional environment, facilitating for academics to unlock their intellectual potential and get appropriate compensation, is conditional to
maximal fulfillment of teachers’ needs and motives, fundamental to the academic and teaching activities. Schools of thought, created in many higher educational
establishments of this country, provide a sustainable framework of such a supportive environment in the sphere of science and education.

In this article the authors describe a new paradigm of
development of industrial organizations based on a system-synergetic
approach. The authors conducted an exhaustive analysis of
the approaches to the study of various systems, each of which reflects
the view of certain academic schools. The study analyzes the
universal principles of structural building systems, including consideration
of their components, subsystems, functions. As a natural
step of genesis of science devoted to the study of systems, the
article advocates synergy that contributes to self-organization and
systematization of complex socio-technological systems, which
include industrial structures. The authors reveal the basic concept
of synergy and their description. We consider the practical use of
bifurcation points in the simulation of processes of development
of systems of various types in space and time. Significant role in
the development of systems, according to the authors, the information
belongs to ensuring effective communication between system
components to maintain its structural integrity and internal cohesion

Voluntary Product Safety Certification
Authors: Iyer Ganesh , Singh Shubhranshu 
Published: March 2017

This paper describes the incentives for firms to seek voluntary product safety certifications. We consider a firm that makes the decision of whether or not to seek certification prior to selling the product. We show that even when the firm and the consumers have the same beliefs about the product’s safety, there are incentives for the firm to seek safety certification. The main analysis investigates the role of consumer moral hazard and shows that it can lead to greater incentives for voluntary certification when inherent product safety and effort are substitutes, but smaller incentives when they are complements. The analysis of consumer moral hazard provides a nuanced perspective on the so-called risk compensation or the “Peltzman effect” phenomenon, which postulates higher levels of accidents for safer products. In our paper, products that are successfully certified can end up with a higher incidence of accidents. We also uncover an interesting nonmonotonic relationship between effectiveness of consumers’ effort and the firm’s incentives to seek certification. Finally, we find that certification can be welfare enhancing in the presence of consumer moral hazard. This paper was accepted by Matthew Shum, marketing.
