Published: January 2023

Background and aimsBoth casts and braces can be used for post-operational immobilization of ankle fractures. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the complications and functional effects of the two types of immobilization.Material and methodsPubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and CNKI was searched for randomized controlled trials (published between Jan 1, 1950, and March 2022). Relative risk (RR) or standard mean difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to present the outcomes. The pooled data were assessed by using the fixed-effects model or random-effects model.ResultsA total of 5 randomized controlled studies involving 930 subjects were included according to our inclusion criteria. On the ankle score at 6w,12w and 52w, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. In terms of 6w, the brace group showed better ankle dorsiflexion (MD = 6.78, 95% CI 0.56–13.00, p = 0.03) and plantar flexion (MD = 6.58, 95% CI 1.60–11.55, p = 0.01) than the cast group. The wound complications (RR = 3.49, 95% CI 1.32 to 9.24, p = 0.01) and total complications (RR = 3.54, 95% CI 1.92 to 6.50, p &lt; 0.0001) in the brace group were three times more than that in the cast group. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the non-wound complications. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the time of going back to work, swelling of the ankle, and atrophy of the calf muscle.ConclusionThe short-term and long-term functional outcomes after postoperative treatment of adult ankle fractures with braces are similar to those with casts. The usage of braces may cause three times more wound complications than that of casts.

ObjectiveTo compare the mid-term outcomes of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) that was performed in one knee and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed in the other knee in the same stage.MethodsThis is a retrospective study. A total of 63 patients (126 knees) scheduled for one-stage knee surgery due to osteoarthritis of both knees were selected, and all patients underwent one-stage mobile platform UKA and TKA of the other knee. Differences in general clinical data, functional recovery, complications, and prosthesis revision rates were assessed after UKA and TKA, respectively. The evaluation indicators for knee joint function recovery included the hospital for special surgery knee score (HSS), Joint Forgotten Score (JFS), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), and Visual analog scale (VAS). Patient preference between UKA and TKA was also recorded.ResultsDuring a mean follow-up of 76.95 months (range, 65.00 to 87.00 months), there were no significant differences in postoperative complications between the two groups (P = 0.299); however, the prosthesis revision rate was higher in the UKA group than in the TKA group (P = 0.023). The incision length, operation time, blood loss, and postoperative drainage volume in the UKA group were significantly (P &lt; 0.001) lower than those in the TKA group: JFS, ROM, and VAS in the UKA group were higher than those in the TKA group (P &lt; 0.001,P = 0.023,P = 0.032), HSS and KOOS in TKA group were significantly (P &lt; 0.001) higher than those in UKA group. At the last follow-up, 40% and 24% of patients preferred TKA and UKA, respectively.ConclusionsTKA was found to be superior to UKA in terms of HSS, KOOS, and VAS, while UKA had more significant advantages in terms of less surgical trauma, better ROM, and higher JFS. Complications were not different between groups, but UKA had a higher rate of prosthesis revision. After a follow-up of at least 5 years, more patients preferred TKA.

Published: January 2023

Background: The whole world has learned about the existence of a highly toxic neuro-paralytic substance called Novichok. A wide range of neuro-paralytic toxins were used during the wars of decades ago, which also had harmful and irreversible effects. Fortunately, the establishment of conventions prohibiting the use of these weapons prevented the adverse clinical consequences of these compounds. What we did in the present study was to evaluate the clinical features of Novichok, how to manage exposure to it, and to evaluate the prognostic aspects associated with this poisoning agent.Methods: The manuscript especial databases including Medline, Web of knowledge, Google scholar, and Scopus were deeply searched by the two blinded investigators for all eligible studies based on the considered keywords. Initially 98 articles were initially collected by database searching that considering eligibility criteria, 83 articles were finally eligible for the final assessment. There is a lack of clinical trials and case-cohort studies on general population about treatment and side effects when it comes to human nerve agents and most of the data in our search is based on animal studies.Results: In evaluating various clinical, auto physiological and prognostic aspects of exposure to these substances, special attention was necessary to the following points. First, Novichok agents are considered more potent than other toxic agents. Pathophysiologically, these agents irreversibly bind acetylcholinesterase and produce a rapid cholinergic toxidrome which is responsible for the clinical manifestations as well as the potential dangerous and life threatening side effects caused by these agents. Uniquely, these agents are thought to also target every neuron in the central and peripheral nervous system. As a managerial and therapeutic approach, early and timely treatment of its related complication along with prevents massive exposure and decontamination in addition to rapid resuscitation can prohibit debilitating neuropathy and death due to facing it.Conclusion: The present review highlights the importance of recognizing the potential acute toxic effects of Novichok agents, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches (life-saving antidotal therapy) to complications and ultimately the application of guidelines to improve the prognosis of exposure to these agents for both victims and medical community.

IntroductionAfrican swine fever (ASF) is a contagious viral disease of pigs and wild boar that poses a major threat to the global swine industry. The genotype II African swine fever virus (ASFV) entered the European Union (EU) in 2014 and since then fourteen countries have been affected, Italy and North Macedonia being the last in 2022. While whole genome sequencing remains the gold standard for the identification of new genetic markers, sequencing of multiple loci with significant variations could be used as a rapid and cost-effective alternative to track outbreaks and study disease evolution in endemic areas.Materials and methodsTo further our understanding of the epidemiology and spread of ASFV in Europe, 382 isolates collected during 2007 to 2022 were sequenced. The study was initially performed by sequencing the central variable region (CVR), the intergenic region (IGR) between the I73R and I329L genes and the O174L and K145R genes. For further discrimination, two new PCRs were designed to amplify the IGR between the 9R and 10R genes of the multigene family 505 (MGF505) and the IGR between the I329L and I215L genes. The sequences obtained were compared with genotype II isolates from Europe and Asia.ResultsThe combination of the results obtained by sequencing these variable regions allowed to differentiate the European II-ASFV genotypes into 24 different groups. In addition, the SNP identified in the IGR I329L-I215L region, not previously described, grouped the viruses from North Macedonia that caused the 2022 outbreaks with viruses from Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia and Greece, differentiating from other genotype II isolates present in Europe and Asia. Furthermore, tandem repeat sequence (TRS) within the 9R-10R genes of the multigene family 505 (MGF505) revealed eight different variants circulating.DiscussionThese findings describe a new multi-gene approach sequencing method that can be used in routine genotyping to determine the origin of new introductions in ASF-free areas and track infection dynamics in endemic areas.

Published: January 2023

A fermentation of Fiano di Avellino grape must was carried out at 9°C with the aim of selecting cryotolerant yeast strains and testing their fermentative performances and volatile production following molecular characterization. A total of 20 yeast cultures were isolated at different fermentation stages. Based on molecular identification and characterization, Metschnikowia (M.) pulcherrima, Hanseniaspora (H.) uvarum, Staremerella (St.) bacillaris, Saccharomyces (S.) cerevisiae, S. kudriavzevii, and S. paradoxus were found to be the yeast species dominating the fermentation. S. paradoxus has been rarely isolated in vineyards and never in the cellar environment. Moreover, in this study, S. kudriavzevii is detected for the first time in vine-wine environments. Both S. kudriavzevii and S. paradoxus co-occurred with S. cerevisiae when grapes were micro-fermented at low temperatures. The growth kinetics of the three species were greatly affected by the fermentation temperature. As a consequence, Fiano wines obtained with S. kudriavzevii and S. paradoxus significantly differed from those made by S. cerevisiae in terms of chemical and volatile composition.
À propos de la construction sexuée de l’espace urbain
Authors: Coutras Jacqueline 
Published: January 2023

Jacqueline Coutras : On the gendered construction of urban space.
Is the construction of the town, as it can be understood through its organization into separate zones - considered to be “complementary” to each other-based on the division between the sexes and in particular the sexual division of labour ? In order to study this “hidden dimension” of space it seems necessary to centre the analysis on the economic and ideological dimensions of urban functioning and at two levels (local and the urban unit). According to the author, only this approach to the town makes it possible to bring out to what extent women’s spatial duty, which has never been recognised as such and which is circumscribed to the immediate residential area, is in fact one of the fundamental elements of the coherence and thus of the solidity of the overall urban organization in our modem north-western cities.

Pour une uniformisation du droit des affaires dans l’espace économique francophone d'Afrique : que peut la francophonie ?
Authors: Hilim Tchamyèlaba 
Published: January 2023

Un droit uniforme « unique » des affaires pour un espace économique « unique » construit autour d’une langue unique sur un continent « unique » : l’Afrique. Tel est l’objectif « unique » qui peut être assigné à la Francophonie. La quête est noble mais la route est longue et sinueuse pour parvenir à faire conjuguer les efforts d’intégration économique et juridique. La Francophonie qui a déjà fait ses preuves, dans le processus de construction de l’Organisation pour l’harmonisation en Afrique du droit des affaires (OHADA), peut encore contribuer à l’uniformisation du droit des affaires en Afrique. Pour avoir contribué à la naissance de l’OHADA, notamment lors de la signature du traité fondateur dans l’environnement du sommet de la Francophonie tenu à Maurice le 17 octobre 1993 et à travers la signature du traité révisé, en marge du Sommet de la Francophonie à Québec le 17 octobre 2008, la Francophonie est un allié historique. Toutefois, pour y parvenir, il ne faudrait pas perdre de vue les limites d’un système dépendant essentiellement d’une langue « unique », dans une Afrique « unique » par sa diversité linguistique, juridique, économique, politique et culturelle. De même, l’action de la Francophonie centrée sur la construction d’un marché commun dans l’espace francophone africain semble occulter le volet juridique. Or, le développement économique recherché pour l’espace économique francophone de demain doit pouvoir, pour son efficacité et même sa survie, s’appuyer sur un cadre juridique matériel applicable aux activités économiques de l’espace. Dans un tel contexte où le cadre juridique commun des affaires se heurte encore à l’hérésie de certains États qui rechignent à s’associer et où le droit matériel des affaires est encore balkanisé à travers une multiplicité de regroupements régionaux ou sous-régionaux qui se partagent des pans entiers du droit des affaires, une synergie des actions s’impose. C’est là tout le défi de l’uniformisation du droit des affaires en Afrique que la Francophonie devrait aider à relever. La présente réflexion, qui s’aligne dans cette dynamique, se veut une feuille de route de l'uniformisation complète du droit des affaires en Afrique en général et en Afrique francophone en particulier.
La riposte économique contre la covid-19 en Afrique francophone : l'« espace politique » en question
Authors: Kouty Manfred 
Published: January 2023

Moins affectée que les autres régions du monde, l'Afrique fait face, elle aussi, aux conséquences désastreuses de la covid-19. Cependant, depuis le début de la crise sanitaire, les pays africains en général et d'Afrique francophone en particulier comptent parmi ceux ayant apporté moins de soutiens à leurs économies. Cette situation a remis au goût du jour le débat sur l'« espace politique » dans ces pays. Concept développé et vulgarisé par la Conférence des Nations unies sur le commerce et le développement (CNUCED) au cours de ces deux dernières décennies, l'espace politique renvoie aux marges de manœuvre dont dispose un pays dans l'élaboration et la mise en œuvre de ses politiques économiques. L'objet de cette étude est donc d'analyser les différentes contraintes qui pèsent sur l’espace politique dans les pays d'Afrique francophone. Les résultats de notre analyse révèlent que les pays d'Afrique francophone étaient mal partis car ils possédaient déjà un espace politique rétréci avant le début la crise sanitaire. Plusieurs facteurs parmi lesquels le taux d'endettement élevé, la politique de gestion de la dette, la faible capacité de mobilisation des ressources internes ainsi que les engagements monétaire et financier internationaux ont contribué à restreindre davantage l'espace politique disponible dans ces pays pour faire face au choc économique lié à la pandémie de Covid-19.
Le format 17+1, promoteur de la coopération Chine-UE ou facteur de troubles au sein de l’UE ?
Authors: Qiu Lin 
Published: January 2023

De la première réunion des dirigeants Chine-pays d’Europe centrale et orientale en 2012 à l'adhésion de la Grèce au Format 16+1 en 2019, la plate-forme de coopération 17+1 a été officiellement constituée. Le mécanisme de coopération 17+1 a atteint une série d’objectifs dans la promotion de la coopération entre la Chine et les pays d'Europe centrale et orientale (PECO). Cependant, avec l'approfondissement de la coopération, notamment en raison de l’inscription du Format 17+1 dans le cadre de l'initiative « la Ceinture et la Route », l'Union européenne (UE) fait montre d'inquiétude ou même de doutes en ce qui concerne la coopération entre la Chine et les PECO. L'UE est préoccupée par les éventuels impacts géopolitiques et géoéconomiques de l'initiative « la Ceinture et la Route ». L'UE est sceptique quant au Format 17+1 et craint que la coopération entre la Chine et les PECO n'érode les valeurs et la cohérence de l'UE et ne fasse même se diviser l'UE. En fait, à en juger par la motivation de la mise en place de l’association 17+1, le facteur économique est la raison la plus importante. La géopolitique n'est pas la motivation de la coopération entre la Chine et les PECO. En outre, depuis que les PECO ont rejoint l'UE, leurs politiques sont depuis longtemps profondément ancrées dans le processus d'intégration européenne. Par conséquent, la coopération entre la Chine et les PECO fonctionne dans le cadre de l'UE. La coopération 17+1 non seulement ne peut pas être un facteur déstabilisant pour l'unité de l'UE, mais favorisera en fait le développement de la coopération Chine-UE. Sur la base de l'examen du processus et de la motivation de la mise en place du mécanisme de coopération 17+1, cet article analysera les facteurs de l'UE dans la coopération Chine-PECO, et réfléchit à l’avenir de la coopération 17+1 et de la coopération Chine-UE.
