The article presents the case study of a successful rehabilitation of an elderly man after hip fracture (HF) who had ipsilateral above-elbow amputation. He was admitted to a hospital due to exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in which during his admission, he had a fall-related hip fracture. The researchers devised a special upper-limb prosthesis so that he could hold an ipsilateral crutch to enable appropriate acute-phase rehabilitation for HF.

Background: The long-term results of total hip arthroplasty performed with cement and use of a bulk autograft for acetabular reconstruction in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip have varied considerably. We evaluated the results of total hip arthroplasties performed with acetabular bulk autograft to identify the factors that influence the results of this procedure.Methods: Acetabular roof defects secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip were reconstructed with a bulk femoral head autograft at the time of total hip arthroplasties performed with use of the Charnley technique and prosthesis. Thirty-seven hips in thirty patients (mean age at the time of the operation, fifty-seven years) were followed for ten to twenty-six years (mean, nineteen years). The Crowe classification of hip subluxation or dislocation was Group II for sixteen hips, Group III for seventeen, and Group IV for four.Results: Coverage of the socket by the graft ranged from 5% to 49% (mean, 33%). Twenty-nine sockets were located within the true acetabulum, and eight were placed more proximally. At the time of the latest follow-up, all of the patients had an excellent clinical result, all of the grafts had united, and no hip had radiographic evidence of failure of the fixation.Conclusions: We found that total hip arthroplasty performed with cement and use of a bulk autograft to reconstruct an acetabulum with severe bone deficiency secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip can provide long-term success in patients forty-eight years of age and older when coverage of the socket by the graft does not exceed 50%. When it is not possible to achieve >50% coverage of the socket by the ilium at the level of the true acetabulum, more proximal placement of the socket to obtain adequate coverage is recommended.

Background: Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are biologically active molecules capable of eliciting new bone formation. In combination with biomaterials, these proteins can be used in a clinical setting as bone-graft substitutes to promote bone repair. Collagen from animal sources has previously been the preferred carrier material in animal experiments. More recently, synthetic biodegradable polymers have been tested as a delivery vehicle for osteoinductive agents. In earlier studies performed in our laboratory, it was found that the polylactic acid homopolymers (PLA650) and poly-D,L-lactic acid-polyethylene glycol block copolymers (PLA650-PEG200) are viscous liquids that can be used as BMP delivery systems.Methods: To obtain new PLA-PEG polymers that exhibit greater plasticity, the molecular sizes of PLA and PEG segments in the copolymer chains were increased. Plastic PLA-PEG polymers with various molecular sizes and PLA/PEG ratios were synthesized, mixed with recombinant human (rh) BMP-2, and implanted into the dorsal muscles of mice for 3 weeks to evaluate their capacity to elicit new bone formation. To compare the plastic PLA-PEG polymer with the liquid PLA650-PEG200 polymer, these two polymers were combined with rhBMP-2, implanted, and harvested after 3 weeks. Bone mineral content (BMC), bone area, and bone mineral density (BMD) of the ectopic new bone were measured by means of single energy X-ray absorptiometry (SXA).Results: All of the PLA6,500-PEG3,000 implants with 10 or 20 microg of rhBMP-2 showed new bone formation. In contrast, little or no bone formation was seen in other plastic PLA-PEG implants with rhBMP-2. Control implants that lacked rhBMP-2 did not show new bone formation. Radiographic and histologic examinations showed that the PLA6,500-PEG3,000 implants with rhBMP-2 harvested 3 weeks after implantation had normal bone characteristics with hematopoietic marrow and osseous trabeculae. SXA analysis showed that the values for bone mineral content (BMC), bone area, and bone mineral density (BMD) of new bone resulting from the use of plastic PLA6,500-PEG3,000 polymers with rhBMP-2 were significantly higher than those obtained with the liquid PLA650-PEG200 polymers (p < 0.001 for each of the three values).Conclusions: These results indicate that the PLA6,500-PEG3000 block copolymer with plastic properties works effectively as a BMP delivery system. These data suggest that the total molecular size and ratio of PLA size to PEG size is an essential factor in determining the efficacy of a BMP delivery system. After implantation, it is possible that the PLA6,500-PEG3,000 pellets might have absorbed tissue fluids and become swollen, resulting in bone formation that exceeded the size of the original implants. This expansion characteristic is a potentially beneficial property, given the intended practical application of the polymer in the repair of bone defects.Clinical Relevance: New synthetic biodegradable delivery systems will play an important role in the clinical applications of rhBMPs in which local formation of bone via an osteoinductive graft material is needed. Further pre-clinical and clinical work is necessary to establish the safety of these implants before they are adopted for widespread clinical use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
Abstract: Recently, activities of daily living (ADL) were identified as a prognostic factor among elderly patients with heart disease; however, a specific association between ADL and prognosis after cardiac and aortic surgery is not well established. We aimed to clarify the impact of ADL capacity at discharge on prognosis in elderly patients after cardiac and aortic surgery.This retrospective cohort study included 171 elderly patients who underwent open operation for cardiovascular disease in a single center (median age: 74 years; men: 70%). We used the Barthel Index (BI) as an indicator for ADL. Patients were classified into 2 groups according to the BI at discharge, indicating a high (BI ≥ 85) or low (BI < 85) ADL status. All-cause mortality and unplanned readmission events were observed after discharge.Thirteen all-cause mortality and 44 all-cause unplanned readmission events occurred during the median follow-up of 365 days. Using Kaplan-Meier analysis, a low ADL status was determined to be significantly associated with all-cause mortality and unplanned readmission. In the multivariable Cox proportional hazard models, a low ADL status was an independent predictor of all-cause mortality and unplanned readmission after adjusting for age, sex, length of hospital stay, and other variables (including preoperative status, surgical parameter, and postoperative course).A low ADL status at discharge predicted all-cause mortality and unplanned readmission in elderly patients after cardiac and aortic surgery. A comprehensive approach from the time of admission to postdischarge to improve ADL capacity in elderly patients undergoing cardiac and aortic surgery may improve patient outcomes., Competing Interests: The authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose., (Copyright © 2021 the Author(s).

- Abstract
Abstract: No guidelines have been established for the evaluation of swallowing function following extubation. The factors of bedside swallowing evaluations (BSEs) that are associated with the development of pneumonia have not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to retrospectively investigate the most appropriate measurements of BSEs for predicting pneumonia.The study subjects were 97 adults who underwent BSEs following cardiovascular surgery. Patients were divided into the pneumonia onset group (n = 21) and the non-onset group (n = 76). Patient characteristics, intraoperative characteristics, complications, BSE results, and postoperative progress were compared between the groups. BSEs were composed of consciousness level, modified water swallowing test (MWST) score, repetitive saliva swallowing test score, speech intelligibility score, and risk of dysphagia in the cardiac surgery score. Univariate and multivariate analyses with the BSE as the independent variable and pneumonia onset as the dependent variable were also performed to identify factors that predict pneumonia. For factors that became significant in univariate analysis, the incidence of pneumonia was shown using the Kaplan-Meier curve.No significant differences were found in patient characteristics, intraoperative characteristics, and complications between the 2 groups. The postoperative progress was significantly different between the 2 groups, the pneumonia-onset group had a significantly longer time until the start of oral intake and a significantly lower median value of Food Intake Level Scale at the time of discharge. According to univariate and multivariate analyses, MWST score was a significant factor for predicting the onset of pneumonia even after adjusting for patient characteristics and surgical factors, and the incidence of pneumonia increased approximately 3 times when the MWST score was 3 points or less.The MWST score after extubation in cardiovascular surgery was the strongest predictor of postoperative pneumonia in BSEs. Furthermore, the incidence of pneumonia increased approximately 3 times when the MWST score was 3 points or less. Predicting cases with a high risk of developing pneumonia allows nurses and attending physicians to monitor the progress carefully and take aggressive preventive measures., Competing Interests: The authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose, (Copyright © 2021 the Author(s).

- Abstract
In anatomical anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery using the outside-in technique, the aperture of the femoral lateral cortex may become elliptical.Retrospective cross-sectional studyTo evaluate the extent of elliptical eccentricity in lateral apertures relative to aperture positioning and clinical failure rate in anatomical anterior cruciate ligament double-bundle reconstruction using outside-in technique.In 75 patients, the aperture elongation factor was defined as the ratio of the major axis of the elliptical aperture to the drill size. Using the lateral epicondyle as a reference point, the lateral femur was divided into sections by distance and angle, and the minimum area was evaluated to assess the relationship between the elongation factor and aperture position of the lateral cortex for each bundle. The incidence and associated clinical performance regarding cortical button migration were also investigated.Aperture elongation factors were 120.2 ± 13.3% and 120.0 ± 16.3% on the anteromedial (AM) and posterolateral (PL) sides, respectively. Femoral tunnel elongation was smallest when the entry point axis were both between 30 to 60° and distance was between 10 to 20 mm and 0 to 10 mm on the AM and PL sides, respectively. During the postoperative follow-up period, intra-tunnel migration was confirmed in 4 of 75 cases (5.3%). Fixation failure neither affected clinical scores nor knee laxity.Areas of minimum elongation for each bundle on both AM and PL sides were found anteroproximally to the lateral epicondyle and positioned near each other. Elongation did not directly affect the clinical outcome.Level of evidence grade: prognostic level III.

- Abstract
Peripheral nerve injury causes maladaptive plasticity in the central nervous system and induces chronic pain. In addition to the injured limb, abnormal pain sensation can appear in the limb contralateral to the injury, called mirror image pain. Because synaptic remodeling in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) has critical roles in the induction of chronic pain, cortical reorganization in the S1 ipsilateral to the injured limb may also accompany mirror image pain. To elucidate this, we conducted in vivo 2-photon calcium imaging of neuron and astrocyte activity in the ipsilateral S1 after a peripheral nerve injury. We found that cross-callosal inputs enhanced the activity of both S1 astrocytes and inhibitory neurons, whereas activity of excitatory neurons decreased. When local inhibitory circuits were blocked, astrocyte-dependent spine plasticity and allodynia were revealed. Thus, we propose that cortical astrocytes prime the induction of spine plasticity and mirror image pain after peripheral nerve injury. Moreover, this result suggests that cortical synaptic rewiring could be sufficient to cause allodynia on the uninjured periphery.

- Abstract
Background: The use of opioids for pain management is often associated with nausea and vomiting. Although conventional antipsychotics are often used to counter emesis, they can be associated with extrapyramidal symptoms. However, chronic pain can induce sleep disturbance. The authors investigated the effects of the atypical antipsychotic olanzapine on morphine-induced emesis and the sleep dysregulation associated with chronic pain., Methods: A receptor binding assay was performed using mouse whole brain tissue. The emetic response in ferrets was evaluated by counting retching and vomiting behaviors. Catalepsy in mice was evaluated by placing both of their forepaws over a horizontal bar. Released dopamine was measured by an in vivo microdialysis study. Sleep disturbance in mice in a neuropathic pain-like state was assayed by electroencephalogram and electromyogram recordings., Results: Olanzapine showed high affinity for muscarinic M1 receptor in brain tissue. Olanzapine decreased morphine-induced nausea and vomiting in a dose-dependent manner. However, olanzapine at a dose that had an antiemetic effect (0.03 mg/kg) did not induce catalepsy or hyperglycemia. In addition, olanzapine at this dose had no effect on the morphine-induced release of dopamine or inhibition of gastrointestinal transit. Finally, olanzapine inhibited thermal hyperalgesia and completely alleviated the sleep disturbance induced by sciatic nerve ligation., Conclusion: These findings suggest that olanzapine may be useful for the treatment of morphine-induced emesis and as an adjunct for the treatment of neuropathic pain associated with sleep disturbance.
