| 1 | Comparative clinical study of ultrasound-guided A1 pulley release vs open surgical intervention in the treatment of trigger finger显示文摘AIM To investigate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided release of the first annular pulley and compare results with the conventional open operative technique.METHODS In this prospective randomized, single-center, clinical study, 32 patients with trigger finger or trigger thumb, grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ according to Green classification system, were recruited. Two groups were formed; Group A(16 patients) was treated with an ultrasound-guided percutaneous release of the affected A1 pulley under local anesthesia. Group B(16 patients) underwent an open surgical release of the A1 pul ey, through a 10-15 mm incision. Patients were assessed pre- and postoperatively(follow-up:2,4 and 12 wk) by physicians blinded to the procedures. Treatment of triggering(primary variable of interest) was expressed as the 'success rate' per digit. The time for taking postoperative pain killers, range of motion recovery, QuickD ASH test scores(Greek version), return to normal activities(including work), complications and cosmetic results were assessed.RESULTS The success rate in group A was 93.75%(15/16) and in group B 100%(16/16). Mean times in group A patients were 3.5 d for taking pain killers, 4.1 d for returning to normal activities, and 7.2 and 3.9 d for complete extension and flexion recovery, respectively. Mean Quick DASH scores in group A were 45.5 preoperatively and, 7.5, 0.5 and 0 after 2, 4, and 12 wk postoperatively. Mean times in group B patients were 2.9 d for taking pain killers, 17.8 d for returning to normal activities, and 5.6 and 3 d for complete extension and flexion recovery. Mean QuickD ASH scores in group B were 43.2 preoperatively and, 8.2, 1.3 and 0 after 2, 4, and 12 wk postoperatively. The cosmetic results found excellent or good in 87.5%(14/16) of group A patients, while in 56.25%(9/16) of group B patients were evaluated as fair or poor.CONCLUSION Treatment of the trigger finger using ultrasonography resulted in fewer absence of work days, and better cosmetic results, in comparison with the open surgery technique. It is a promising method that represents excellent results without major complications, so that it could be possibly be established as a first-line treatment in the trigger finger's disease. | Vasileios S Nikolaou Michael-Alexander Malahias Maria-Kyriaki Kaseta Ioannis Sourlas George C Babis | 2017 | World Journal of Orthopedics2017,8,2: | 14 |
| 2 | Common controversies in total knee replacement surgery: Current evidence显示文摘Total knee replacement(TKR) is a widely used operation that has radically improved the quality of life of millions of people during the last few decades. However, some technical details, concerning the surgical procedure and the rehabilitation following total knee arthroplasty, are still a matter of a strong debate. In this review of the literature, we have included the best evidence available of the last decade, in an effort to shed light on some of the most controversial subjects related to TKR surgery. Posterior-stabilized or cruciate-retaining prosthesis? To use a tourniquet during operation or not? Do patients need continuous passive motion for their post-surgery rehabilitation? To resurface patella or not? These are some of the most controversial topics that until now have been persistent dilemmas for the orthopedic surgeon. Results of this systematic review of the literature are highly controversial. These conflicting results are an indication that larger and more well conducted high quality trials are needed in order to gain more secure answers. At the same time, it is becoming apparent that a meticulous operative technique, respecting the soft tissue envelope and knowing the principles of alignment and soft tissue balancing, aresome of the parameters that might contribute more to achieving the optimal results for the patients. | Vasileios S Nikolaou Dimitrios Chytas George C Babis | 2014 | World Journal of Orthopedics2014,5,4: | 9 |
| 3 | Acute liver injury induced by weight-loss herbal supplements显示文摘We report three cases of patients with acute liver injury induced by weight-loss herbal supplements. One patient took Hydroxycut while the other two took Herbalife supplements. Liver biopsies for all patients dem onstrated f indings consistent with drug-induced acute liver injury. To our knowledge, we are the fi rst instit ute to report acute liver injury from both of these two typ es of weight-loss herbal supplements together as a case series. The series emphasizes the importance of taking a cautious approach when consuming herbal supp lements for the purpose of weight loss. | Gary C Chen Vivek S Ramanathan David Law Pauline Funchain George C Chen Samuel French Boris Shlopov Viktor Eysselein David Chung Sonya Reicher Binh V Pham | 2010 | World Journal of Hepatology2010,2,11: | 5 |
| 4 | Urban China in Transformation:Hybrid Economy,Juxtaposed Space,and New Testing Ground for Geographical Enquiries显示文摘History has brought us into a significant moment when the majority of the human kind has taken up resi-dence in urban settlements. The focus of global urbanization has shifted to the developing world and the center of manufacturing is no longer confined to the Global North. This paper provides a periodical assessment of the current status of China's urban transformation in the global context of a shifting emphasis of industrialization and urbaniza-tion. China's phenomenal urban transformation deserves a special attention not only because of its unparalleled scale and speed but also because of its distinct trajectory of growth that does not conform to normal theoretical ex-pectations. The results of assessment revealed an urban economy with remarkable hybridity, a society that is in-creasingly stratified, polarized, and segregated, and a juxtaposed urban space undergoing restless and pervasive transformation. A decentering world should entail a decentering knowledge production. A critical reflection upon the Chinese patterns and processes of urban transformation has identified 4 main issues with great potentials for inno-vative knowledge production, namely: 1) privatization and economic development; 2) state, society, and space; 3) urbanization of capital, labor, and land; and 4) the environment and Chinese political ecology. The paper closes with the remark that a rapidly transforming urban China has presented itself as a fertile and resourceful testing ground for critical and innovative geographic enquiries. | George C S LIN | 2011 | Chinese Geographical Science2011,21,1: | 4 |
| 5 | A hypothesis for treating inflammation and oxidative stress with hydrogen sulfide during age-related macular degeneration显示文摘Age-related macular degeneration(AMD) is a leading cause of blindness and is becoming a global crisis since affected people will increase to 288 million by 2040.Genetics,age,diabetes,gender,obesity,hypertension,race,hyperopia,iris-color,smoking,sun-light and pyroptosis have varying roles in AMD,but oxidative stress-induced inflammation remains a significant driver of pathobiology.Eye is a unique organ as it contains a remarkable oxygengradient that generates reactive oxygen species(ROS) which upregulates inflammatory pathways.ROS becomes a source of functional and morphological impairments in retinal pigment epithelium(RPE),endothelial cells and retinal ganglion cells.Reports demonstrated that hydrogen sulfide(H_2S) acts as a signaling molecule and that it may treat ailments.Therefore,we propose a novel hypothesis that H_2S may restore homeostasis in the eyes thereby reducing damage caused by oxidative injury and inflammation.Since H_2S has been shown to be a powerful antioxidant because of its free-radicals' inhibition properties in addition to its beneficial effects in age-relatedconditions,therefore,patients may benefit from H_2S salubrious effects not only by minimizing their oxidant and inflammatory injuries to retina but also by lowering retinal glutamate excitotoxicity. | Akash K George Mahavir Singh Rubens Petit Homme Avisek Majumder Harpal S SANDhu Suresh C Tyagi | 2018 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2018,11,5: | 3 |
