Background: Supramalleolar osteotomy (SMOT) is an alternative operative procedure for the management of early and midstage varus ankle arthritis. However, whether fibular needed controversial. The purpose current study was to evaluate functional radiologic outcomes pre- postoperative SMOT, compare between patients with without osteotomy. Methods: Forty-one Takakura stage 2 3 osteoarthritis treated SMOT were included. Fourteen males 27 females a mean age 50.7 (range, 32-71) years followed...

Phenolic acids existed in many agricultural products especially vegetables and considered as important natural antioxidants. Eleven phenolic commonly were chosen to assess the antioxidant activities using DPPH·, ·ABTS+, ·O2-, ·OH scavenging assays, well ferric reducing power β-carotene bleaching assays. The results showed that caffeic protocatechuic acid with simple dihydroxylation structures have best activities, while p-Hydroxybenzoic p-Coumaric mono hydroxylation lowest most activity of...

The economic performance of pest management practices is a critical factor when farmers make adoption decisions. Partial budget analysis widely used tool to evaluate the financial effects different in agricultural production. It provides an rationale for selecting optimal treatment by evaluating cost-effectiveness treatment. This publication explains how employ partial using real-world example. step-by-step guide examining costs and benefits two approaches, fumigation nematicides, manage...

We identified strains of lactic acid bacteria from fermented potherb mustard that showed excellent fermentation properties. The goal was to identify superior starter cultures would optimize the traditional process, reduce duration, and improve quality pickled mustard. Four were screened: Weissella cibaria (LAB1, LAB3) Leuconostoc mesenteroides (LAB2, LAB4). Then, after in vitro tests tolerance low pH salt levels as well production ability, nitrite degradation antibacterial properties,...

Ankle joint distraction arthroplasty (AJDA) is an alternative surgical procedure for the management of moderate to severe ankle osteoarthritis. However, benefit this and failure relative factors are still in debate. The purpose current study was evaluate functional outcomes AJDA treatment OA correlated with failure.Forty-six van Dijk stages II III osteoarthritis patients were included. Fifteen males 31 females a mean age 54.8 (range, 42-71) years followed 42.8 24-68) months. Osteoarthritis...

Supramalleolar osteotomy (SMOT) is a well-accepted treatment method for mid-stage varus ankle osteoarthritis (OA). However, few studies have examined the role of fibular in SMOT. The objective current study was to compare biomechanical and clinical outcomes SMOT with without osteotomy.Eight cadaveric lower legs 10° varus/valgus models were tested using Tekscan sensor. Tibiotalar joint contact conditions compared. Forty-one OA patients treated included; 22 underwent osteotomy, 19 did not....

An increased preoperative talar tilt (TT) angle was reported to be positively correlated with treatment failure after supramalleolar osteotomy (SMOT) for varus ankle osteoarthritis. Distraction arthroplasty have the ability correct TT angles. The purpose of current study compare outcomes between SMOT and without medial distraction (MDA) in osteoarthritis We retrospectively reviewed functional radiological findings 34 patients who underwent or MDA American Orthopaedic Foot Ankle Society...

This paper evaluates the real effects of pollution charges reform on [Formula: see text] emissions at city level. Using establishment Comprehensive Work Plan for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction (The Plan) in China as a quasi-natural experiment, our difference-in-differences estimation shows that: (1) increasing has significant positive effect controlling industrial waste text], this relationship is robust to different specifications alternative measures; (2) can be reduced achieve...

Energy efficiency is the key to green development, and government plays a vital role in energy efficiency. This paper clarifies mechanism by which Yangtze River Delta Economic Coordination Committee affects of urban agglomeration promoting market integration. Based on panel data China's prefecture-level cities from 2004 2017, we take as quasi-natural experiment cooperation use difference-in-difference method test whether this organization has enhanced agglomeration. The results show that can...

AML1/ETO fusion confers favorable prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treated with intensive chemotherapy (IC). However, the impact of on efficacy venetoclax treatment AML is unclear. The aim this study was to evaluate plus hypomethylating agents (VEN/HMAs) patients AML1/ETO-positive AML. Patients newly diagnosed two centers were reviewed and divided into three cohorts: frontline VEN/HMA (Cohort A), AML1/ETO-negative B), or IC C). response survival compared between cohorts. A total 260...

There have been debates on the necessity of fibular osteotomy (FO) in supramalleolar (SMOT) for treatment varus ankle osteoarthritis. The purpose current study was to compare clinical and radiological outcomes between SMOT with without FO osteoarthritis.The group included 39 patients, 24 patients. basic information reached no significant difference groups. American Orthopedic Foot Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score, Osteoarthritis Scale (AOS), modified Takakura stage range motion...

This paper investigates the impact of environmental courts on pollution abatement at city level, utilizing establishment in China as a quasi-experiment. A spatial difference-in-differences model is employed to control for influence neighbouring non-pilot cities. The results underscore effectiveness reducing industrial pollutant emissions, evident both pilot areas and adjacent areas. more pronounced cities characterized by stronger regulations, higher level economic agglomeration, openness....

Analyzing the correlation between patients' basic information, three-dimensional parameters after calcaneal fractures, and prognosis of fractures.

This study investigated the clinical characteristics of internet addiction using a cross-sectional survey and psychiatric interview.A structured questionnaire consisted demographics, Symptom Checklist 90, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, Depression Young's Internet Addiction Test (YIAT) was administered to students two secondary schools in Wuhan, China. Students with score 5 or higher on YIAT were classified as having Disorder (IAD). Two psychiatrists interviewed IAD confirm diagnosis evaluate...

Hallux valgus(HV) with an increased distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) is one of the most common foot deformities among adults. Double osteotomy (DMO) effective in treating severe HV deformity DMAA. However, this technique presents risk avascular necrosis (AVN) head and transfer metatarsalgia due to shortening first metatarsal. The aim study was introduce a surgical procedure defined as revolving scarf (RSO) compare clinical radiological results RSO DMO performed for DMAA.First...
