Transformaciones emancipatorias. Acerca de la colonialidad en el derecho
Authors: Liendo Maria Cristina 
Published: March 2023

Se complica pensar las la emancipación como una universalidad abstracta; a poco de andar se pluraliza en diversas emancipaciones, concretas y más locales. Como concepto referido no se lo puede desligar de objetos respecto de los cuales son producidas las emancipaciones, puesto que se trabaja o se lucha por concretarlas o por impedirlas. Así, las emancipaciones y las luchas se muestran como ideas y procesos sociales convergentes, las segundas son condiciones necesarias para poder anclar las ideas transformadoras en el cuerpo social. Desde este lugar, interesa establecer alguna ligazón entre la modernidad/colonialidad como proyecto de regulación normativa de lo social, el derecho como la estructura de juridicidad que la sustenta y el capitalismo como el horizonte global donde se libran las luchas sociales. La propuesta interroga acerca de qué manera podrían posibilitarse transformaciones en el campo de los derechos que puedan interpelar a la estereotipada estructura de lo jurídico, recorriendo algunas tensiones entre determinación estructural y autonomía de la acción, entre emancipación transformadora y regulación normativa, entre configuraciones de subjetividades y prácticas de contra hegemonía. Se muestran formas diferenciadas respecto del monopolio de la juridicidad estatal, la emergencia de nuevos derechos y de formas de empoderamiento que constituyen nuevos sujetos de derecho.

AimsThe purpose of this study was to assess mid-term survivorship following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with Optetrak Logic components and identify the most common revision indications at a single institution.MethodsWe identified a retrospective cohort of 7,941 Optetrak primary TKAs performed from January 2010 to December 2018. We reviewed the intraoperative findings of 369 TKAs that required revision TKA from January 2010 to December 2021 and the details of the revision implants used. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to determine survivorship. Cox regression analysis was used to examine the impact of patient variables and year of implantation on survival time.ResultsThe estimated survivorship free of all-cause revision was 98% (95% confidence interval (CI) 97% to 98%), 95% (95% CI 95% to 96%), and 86% (95% CI 83% to 88%) at two, five, and ten years, respectively. In 209/369 revisions there was a consistent constellation of findings with varying severity that included polyethylene wear and associated synovitis, osteolysis, and component loosening. This failure mode, which we refer to as aseptic mechanical failure, was the most common revision indication. The mean time from primary TKA to revision for aseptic mechanical failure was five years (5 months to 11 years).ConclusionIn this series of nearly 8,000 primary TKAs performed with a specific implant, we identified a lower-than-expected mid-term survivorship and a high number of revisions with a unique presentation. This study, along with the recent recall of the implant, confirms the need for frequent monitoring of patients with Optetrak TKAs given the incidence of polyethylene failure, osteolysis, and component loosening.Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2023;105-B(3):277–283.
Camouflage uncovered: what should happen next?
Authors: Wilton Tim , Skinner John A. , Haddad Fares S. 
Published: March 2023

Recent publications have drawn attention to the fact that some brands of joint replacement may contain variants which perform significantly worse (or better) than their ‘siblings’. As a result, the National Joint Registry has performed much more detailed analysis on the larger families of knee arthroplasties in order to identify exactly where these differences may be present and may hitherto have remained hidden. The analysis of the Nexgen knee arthroplasty brand identified that some posterior-stabilized combinations have particularly high revision rates for aseptic loosening of the tibia, and consequently a medical device recall has been issued for the Nexgen ‘option’ tibial component which was implicated. More elaborate signal detection is required in order to identify such variation in results in a routine fashion if patients are to be protected from such variation in outcomes between closely related implant types.Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2023;105-B(3):221–226.

AimsTaper corrosion has been widely reported to be problematic for modular total hip arthroplasty implants. A simple and systematic method to evaluate taper damage with sufficient resolution is needed. We introduce a semiquantitative grading system for modular femoral tapers to characterize taper corrosion damage.MethodsAfter examining a unique collection of retrieved cobalt-chromium (CoCr) taper sleeves (n = 465) using the widely-used Goldberg system, we developed an expanded six-point visual grading system intended to characterize the severity, visible material loss, and absence of direct component contact due to corrosion. Female taper sleeve damage was evaluated by three blinded observers using the Goldberg scoring system and the expanded system. A subset (n = 85) was then re-evaluated following destructive cleaning, using both scoring systems. Material loss for this subset was quantified using metrology and correlated with both scoring systems.ResultsThere was substantial agreement in grading among all three observers with uncleaned (n = 465) and with the subset of cleaned (n = 85) implants. The expanded scoring criteria provided a wider distribution of scores which ultimately correlated well with corrosion material loss. Cleaning changed the average scores marginally using the Goldberg criteria (p = 0.290); however, using the VGS, approximately 40% of the scores for all observers changed, increasing the average score from 4.24 to 4.35 (p = 0.002). There was a strong correlation between measured material loss and new grading scores.ConclusionThe expanded scoring criteria provided a wider distribution of scores which ultimately correlated well with corrosion material loss. This system provides potential advantages for assessing taper damage without requiring specialized imaging devices.Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2023;12(3):155–164.

Published: March 2023

Background
Healthy diets that consider environmental pressures are required to meet sustainable development goals in Mongolia. This study aimed to clarify the extent of planetary and human health on Mongolian dietary intake.

Methods
The intake of eight food groups (g/day) was investigated using the national database of the Household socio-economic survey (HSES) 2019 in Mongolia. The boundary intake of the Planetary health diet (PHD) proposed by the EAT-Lancet Commission was considered 100% adequate. The adequacy (%) of food groups in the HSES were calculated in two areas (urban and rural), during the two seasons (cold and warm), and the total by each boundary of the PHD. The differences between the recommended dietary intake (RDI) in Mongolia and the PHD were also investigated in the same manner.

Results
The adequacy of red meat (i.e., beef, mutton, and horsemeat) in whole areas of Mongolia indicated more than 17 times higher intake (1,738%) than the PHD. The adequacy of vegetables (20%) and fruits (8%) in Mongolia indicated an intake shortage compared to the PHD. These discrepancies in dietary adequacy were greater in rural areas and during the cold seasons than in urban areas and during the warm seasons, respectively. The animal-based protein sources, especially red meat (1,091%), in the RDI of Mongolia were higher than those in the PHD.

Conclusion
This study found a highly excessive intake of red meat and a low intake of vegetables and fruits compared with the PHD among Mongolian people, especially in rural areas and during the cold seasons. The limited diversity of food in severe geographic conditions, poor accessibility of food retailers, and insufficient nutrition education may have led to these results. Therefore, improvements in the food environment and nutritional education are required.
A prospective, randomized, non-blinded, non-inferiority pilot study to assess the effect of low-dose anti-thymocyte globulin with low-dose tacrolimus and early steroid withdrawal on clinical outcomes in non-sensitized living-donor kidney recipients

Published: March 2023

Background
The optimal dose of anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) as an induction regimen in Asian living-donor kidney recipients is unclear.

Methods
This is a pilot study in which 36 consecutive patients undergoing living-donor kidney transplantation were randomly assigned to receive either 4.5 mg/kg (n = 19) or 6.0 mg/kg (n = 17) of ATG; all patients had corticosteroid withdrawal within 7 days. The primary end point was a composite of biopsy-proven acute rejection, de novo donor-specific antibody formation, and graft failure.

Results
At 12 months post-transplant, biopsy-proven acute rejection was more common in the ATG4.5 group (21.1%) than in the ATG6.0 group (0%)(P = .048). Importantly, the rate of the composite end point was significantly higher in the ATG4.5 group (36.8% vs 0%)(P = .006). There were significant differences in neither the renal function nor adverse events between the two groups. One case of death-censored graft failure occurred in the ATG4.5 group and no mortality was observed overall. Compared with pre-transplantation, T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and natural killer T (NKT) cells were significantly decreased in the first week post-transplantation except for B cells. Although T and NKT cells in both groups and NK cells in the ATG4.5 group had recovered to the pre-transplant levels, NK cells in the ATG6.0 group remained suppressed until six months post-transplant.

Conclusions
Compared with ATG 6.0 mg/kg, ATG 4.5 mg/kg with early corticosteroid withdrawal and low dose maintenance regimen was associated with higher rates of acute rejection in non-sensitized Asian living-donor kidney recipients.

Published: March 2023

Background
People with neuromuscular disease (NMD) experience a broader range of chronic diseases and health symptoms compared to the general population. However, no comprehensive analysis has directly quantified this to our knowledge.

Methods
We used a large UK primary care database (Clinical Practice Research Datalink) to compare the prevalence of chronic diseases and other health conditions, including recent infections between 23,876 patients with NMD ever recorded by 2019 compared to 95,295 age-sex-practice matched patients without NMD. Modified Poisson regression estimated Prevalence Ratios (PR) to summarise the presence of the disease/condition ever (or for infections in 2018) in NMD patients versus non-NMD patients.

Results
Patients with NMD had significantly higher rates for 16 of the 18 conditions routinely recorded in the primary care Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF). Approximately 1-in-10 adults with NMD had ≥4 conditions recorded (PR = 1.39, 95%CI 1.33–1.45). Disparities were more pronounced at younger ages (18–49). For other (non-QOF) health conditions, significantly higher recorded levels were observed for rarer events (pulmonary embolism PR = 1.96 95%CI 1.76–2.18, hip fractures PR = 1.65 95%CI 1.47–1.85) as well as for more common primary care conditions (constipation PR = 1.52 95%CI 1.46–1.57, incontinence PR = 1.52 95%CI 1.44–1.60). The greatest co-morbidity burden was in patients with a myotonic disorder. Approximately 1-in-6 (17.1%) NMD patients had an infection recorded in the preceding year, with the risk of being hospitalised with an infection nearly double (PR = 1.92, 95%CI 1.79–2.07) compared to non-NMD patients.

Conclusion
The burden of chronic co-morbidity among patients with NMD is extremely high compared to the general population, and they are also more likely to present in primary and secondary care for acute events such as infections.

Abstract

Objectives
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a collection of metabolic disorders including hyperglycemia, hypertension and dyslipidemia. The outcome of metabolic syndrome depends on structural changes in heart like increased left atrial size or increased left ventricular mass. This study was done to determine the echocardiography abnormalities in metabolic syndrome.

Methods
After obtaining informed consent, 75 subjects with metabolic syndrome and 75 controls were included in the study. 2D echo/M mode examination was performed for all. Aortic root, left atrial size, left atrial volume, septal wall thickness during systole (SWs) and diastole (SWd), posterior wall thickness during systole (PWs) and diastole (PWd), left ventricle dimension during systole (LVDs) and diastole (LVDd), and ejection fraction were measured. The values were compared between the groups.

Results
After adjustment for age, sex, smoking, alcohol and BMI; left ventricular diameter in systole and diastole was significantly more than controls (p<0.001); HR of 1.29 (95% CI 1.13–1.46), 1.29 (95% CI 1.15–1.45) respectively. Left ventricular mass and left atrial volume were increased significantly in subjects with metabolic syndrome (p<0.001); HR were 1.06 (95% CI 1.03–1.08), 1.13 (95% CI 1.06–1.19) respectively. Ejection fraction was low normal in subjects with metabolic syndrome compared to controls (p<0.05); HR 0.90 (95% CI 0.83–0.98).

Conclusions
Cardiac abnormalities were common in subjects with metabolic syndrome, predominantly affecting the left ventricular mass, diameter and left atrial volume. Early life style modifications are essential to prevent these complications.
circ_0014736 induces GPR4 to regulate the biological behaviors of human placental trophoblast cells through miR-942-5p in preeclampsia
Authors: Ren Jinlian , Cai Jing 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Previous studies have indicated that the development of preeclampsia (PE) involves the regulation of circular RNA (circRNA). However, the role of hsa_circ_0014736 (circ_0014736) in PE remains unknown. Thus, the study proposes to reveal the function of circ_0014736 in the pathogenesis of PE and the underlying mechanism. The results showed that circ_0014736 and GPR4 expression were significantly upregulated, while miR-942-5p expression was downregulated in PE placenta tissues when compared with normal placenta tissues. circ_0014736 knockdown promoted the proliferation, migration, and invasion of placenta trophoblast cells (HTR-8/SVneo) and inhibited apoptosis; however, circ_0014736 overexpression had the opposite effects. circ_0014736 functioned as a sponge for miR-942-5p and regulated HTR-8/SVneo cell processes by interacting with miR-942-5p. Additionally, GPR4, a target gene of miR-942-5p, was involved in miR-942-5p-mediated actions in HTR-8/SVneo cells. Moreover, circ_0014736 stimulated GPR4 production through miR-942-5p. Collectively, circ_0014736 inhibited HTR-8/SVneo cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and induced cell apoptosis through the miR-942-5p/GPR4 axis, providing a possible target for the treatment of PE.
Predicting the Magnitude of Microsphere Parameters Obtained from Microscopical Examination of Hardened Concrete
Authors: Attiogbe Emmanuel K. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Geometric probability concepts are used to establish a quantitative basis for predicting the magnitude of microscopically determined parameters of polymeric microsphere systems in hardened concretes relative to the actual magnitude of the parameters. Both a hypothetical discrete size distribution and a representative continuous size distribution of the microspheres are considered in the analysis. It is predicted that for a random section through the concrete, the magnitudes of the measured microsphere volume fraction and specific surface relative to the respective actual values would depend on the proportion of the total number of microspheres counted on the section. The lower the proportion of microspheres counted, the lower the ratios of measured-to-actual volume fraction and measured-to-actual specific surface would be. For the test data presented, the proportion of microspheres counted was calculated to have an average value of 0.75. Ratios of predicted-to-actual volume fraction and predicted-to-actual specific surface are compared with the respective measured ratios and found to be quite accurate. When there is a significant spread in the microsphere size distribution and relatively few microspheres are missed during a microscopical examination of a single section of concrete, the measured volume fraction would be higher and the measured specific surface would be lower, relative to the respective actual values. This is because a random section through the concrete has a greater chance of intersecting large microspheres than small ones, with large microspheres having a relatively higher contribution to volume and a relatively lower contribution to specific surface than small microspheres. These findings are relevant for air-entrained concrete as well when measurements obtained by microscopical examination of hardened concrete are compared with air content measured by the pressure method or with air content and specific surface measured by an air void analyzer.
Investigation of the Abnormally Large Grains of a Super304H Heat-Resistant Steel Tube over Long-Term, High-Temperature Service

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Abnormally large grains (ALGs) were detected in the outer walls of Super304H superheater steel tubes of an ultra-supercritical unit in long-term service. In this study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of steel tube samples were investigated to reveal the formation mechanism of the ALGs. The results showed that the room-temperature and high-temperature strength and plasticity of the coarse-grain zone were much lower than those of the fine-grain zone. Inhomogeneous residual strain distribution in the outer wall led to high distortion energy differences in the as-supplied steel tube. The low-distortion austenite grains annex the neighboring high-distortion grains via the strain-induced grain boundary migration mechanism. Moreover, the two-dimensional step mechanism of the faceted grain boundaries also causes the ALGs to form.
