ABSTRACT A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) system was developed for group B streptococcus (GBS). The used to characterize a collection ( n = 152) of globally and ecologically diverse human strains GBS that included representatives capsular serotypes Ia, Ib, II, III, V, VI, VIII. Fragments (459 519 bp) seven housekeeping genes were amplified by PCR each strain sequenced. combination alleles at the loci provided an allelic profile or type (ST) strain. subset characterized restriction digest...
In Brief Study Design. Retrospective review. Objective. Evaluation of the impact diabetes on lumbar spine surgery. Summary Background Data. Characteristics that increase risk postoperative complications and poor surgical outcomes after surgery remain unclear. Methods. The demographic clinical data diabetic nondiabetic patients, 50 years or older, undergoing were reviewed. Japanese Orthopaedic Association visual analogue scale scores for low back pain, leg numbness assessed as perioperative...
To investigate the efficacy of transplantation autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) under arthroscopy with microfracture (MFX) compared alone. Eleven patients a symptomatic articular cartilage defect knee were included in study. They randomized to receive BMSCs MFX (cell-T group, n=7) or alone (control n=4). Clinical results evaluated using International Knee Documentation committee (IKDC) evaluation questionnaires and Injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)...
Although arthroscopic meniscal reshaping for discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) has better outcomes than total or subtotal meniscectomy, degenerative changes on radiographs are still seen in some patients with reshaping.To assess the risk factors associated knee joint degeneration after surgery juvenile DLM.Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3.Forty (45 knees) a mean age 12.0 years who underwent DLM were enrolled at 39.6 months surgery. For all patients, saucerization was performed first....
OBJECT Most studies of Modic changes (MCs) have focused on investigating the relationship between MCs and lowback pain, whereas kinematic characteristics degenerative disc disease associated with are not well understood. To authors' knowledge, no previous study has reported kinematics MCs. The purpose this was to elucidate segmental motion disease. METHODS Four hundred fifty symptomatic patients underwent weight-bearing lumbar MRI in neutral, flexion, extension positions. Segmental...
Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Objectives Spinal surgeons face a dilemma regarding the continuation or discontinuation of antiplatelet agents during perioperative period. Guidelines recommend considering balance between thrombotic and bleeding risks. However, no consensus exists for use these patients who undergo minimally invasive lumbar decompression. This study aimed to assess effect continued medication on posterior decompression surgery outcomes, focusing outcomes 1-year...
Background and objectives Maintaining activities of daily living (ADL) in older adults requires muscle strength physical activity. However, exercise motivation often declines with age. Enjoyable can enhance effectiveness. Boccia is a recreational sport rehabilitation potential but substantial space. This study evaluated the enjoyment lower limb activity “Boccia XR,” virtual adaptation designed for limited spaces, comparing it traditional treadmill walking. Methods Eighteen healthy (mean age...
Retrospective analysis of kinematic magnetic resonance (MR) images.To elucidate the distribution and risk factors associated with missed dynamic stenosis in cervical spine.Motion spine is widely accepted to be spondylotic myelopathy; however, for spinal are not well understood.A total 435 symptomatic patients (2610 segments) obtained upright MR images neutral, flexion, extension postures. Spinal cord compression (SCC), spondylolisthesis, disc bulging, angular motion, translational...
Advanced gastric cancer is often accompanied by metastasis to the peritoneum, resulting in a high mortality rate. Mechanisms involved have not been fully clarified because involves multiple steps and requires combination of altered expressions many different genes. Thus, independent analysis any single gene would be insufficient understand all aspects peritoneal dissemination. In this study, we performed global differential expression cell line established from primary main tumour (SNU-1)...
<b>Background:</b> Nicotine is responsible for smoking dependence and mainly metabolised by CYP2A6. Several types of genetic polymorphism <i>CYP2A6</i> have been reported, but their relation to habit chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) phenotypes has not fully clarified. <b>Methods:</b> 203 current or ex-smokers (lifelong cigarette consumption (CC) ≥10 pack years) with subclinical established COPD were clinically evaluated function tests a chest CT scan performed (smoker group). The...
The systemic use of steroids and habitual alcohol intake are two major causative factors in the development idiopathic osteonecrosis femoral head (ONFH). To examine any interaction between oral corticosteroid on risk ONFH, we conducted a hospital-based case-control study 71 cases with ONFH (mean age 45 years (20 to 79)) 227 matched controls 47 (18 79)). Alcohol was positively associated among all subjects: adjusted odds ratio (OR) subjects ≥ 3032 drink-years 3.93 (95% confidence interval...
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is one of the most frequent causes low back pain and gait disturbance in elderly. Ligamentum flavum (LF) hypertrophy main pathomechanism LSS, but reason for its occurrence not clearly elucidated. In this study, we established a novel animal model intervertebral mechanical stress concentration investigated biological property LF. The LF with showed degeneration elastic fibres disruption cartilage matrix increase, which are similar to findings hypertrophied from...
OBJECTIVE Little is known about the relationship between sagittal spinal alignment in patients with lumbar canal stenosis (LSS) and objective findings such as spinopelvic parameters, back muscle degeneration, clinical data. The purpose of this study was to identify preoperative radiological factors that predict improvement after decompressive surgery LSS. METHODS records 61 LSS who underwent microendoscopic laminotomy had pre- postoperative data collected were retrospectively reviewed....
