Obesity is linked to a variety of metabolic disorders, such as insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. Dysregulated production fat-derived secretory factors, adipocytokines, partly responsible for obesity-linked disorders. However, the mechanistic role obesity per se adipocytokine dysregulation has not been fully elucidated. Here, we show that adipose tissue obese mice hypoxic local hypoxia dysregulates adipocytokines. Tissue was confirmed by an exogenous marker, pimonidazole, elevated...
Retrospective multicenter study.To review the clinical characteristics of traumatic cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) associated with ossification posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL).Despite its potentially devastating consequences, there is a lack information about acute SCI complicated by OPLL.This study included consecutive patients (Frankel A, B, and C) who were admitted within 48 hours to 34 spine institutions across Japan. For analysis neurologic outcome, had completed at least...
Prospective study.To examine whether preservation of the funicular section nuchal ligament attached to C6 and C7 spinous processes could prevent unfavorable radiologic changes such as kyphotic deformity destabilization at C6/7 segment, investigate possible correlations between adverse neurologic recovery or incidence axial neck pain after laminoplasty in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy.Adverse have been reported result from detachment extensor muscles.Subjects comprised 37 who...
This is a retrospective, single-institute, radiographical study.The study aimed to determine the correlation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings observed in metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC) with post-treatment ambulatory status.Previous studies have reported various predictors outcome patients MSCC, but relationship between MRI features and function remains be elucidated.Fifty-six hospitalized MSCC risk were examined using before therapeutic intervention. Circumferential...
Atypical femoral fractures (AFFs) are recently observed as a complication of long-term bone-modifying agent (BMA; bisphosphonate or denosumab) therapy for bone metastases. We describe the cases two women diagnosed with breast cancer who developed incomplete AFF associated BMAs prescribed Radiographs their femurs revealed thickening lateral subtrochanteric cortex, and tomosynthesis visible fracture line in thickened cortex. They were initially treated conservative management; however,...
Study Design Prospective cohort study. Purpose To identify differences in time-dependent perioperative changes between the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score and JOA Cervical Myelopathy Evaluation Questionnaire (JOACMEQ) patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) who underwent laminoplasty. Overview of Literature The does not take into consideration patient satisfaction or quality life. Accordingly, JOACMEQ was designed 2007 as a...
The authors report on the case of a 64-year-old man with solitary intradural extramedullary non-Hodgkin lymphoma cervical spine. lesion mimicked appearance meningioma MR imaging. Positron emission tomography showed increased accumulation fluorine-18–labeled fluorodeoxyglucose only in lesion. Serum levels C-reactive protein and soluble interleukin-2 receptor were mildly elevated. At surgery, tumor subarachnoid space was totally extirpated. Based histopathological findings, diffuse, large...
Soft tissue sarcoma of the hand is rare, and one most common histological diagnosis synovial sarcoma. We report clinical outcomes patients with discuss treatment strategies.We reviewed five treated at our institutions from 1983 to 2013. The mean patient age time was 36.6 years (range, 20-62 years). Two underwent marginal excision after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, followed by radiation therapy, wide local two received chemotherapy therapy.The average duration follow-up for all 88.2 months...
Calcific myonecrosis is a rare soft tissue condition. The first case was reported in 1960, however, the precise pathophysiology of calcific remains unclear. disease thought to arise from compartment syndrome within confined space resulting necrosis and fibrosis, subsequent repeated intralesional hemorrhage, mass enlargement calcification. Several previous reports have described myonecrosis, which include formation after prolonged period post trauma. Notably, has typically been lower legs...
