Background:
Bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine (L-spine) has been reported to be normal by routine posterior-anterior (PA) bone density imaging in patients with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI).Objective:
To determine BMD of the L-spine by PA and lateral (LAT) dual-energy radiographic absorptiometry (DXA) in patients with chronic SCI.Design:
Prospective study.Setting:
Veterans Affairs Medical Center and a private rehabilitation facility.Methods:
Measurements of the PA and LAT L-spine and hip were performed in 15 patients with SCI: 9 with tetraplegia and 6 with paraplegia. The DXA (GE Lunar Advance DXA) images were obtained using standard software. Results are reported as mean ± SD.Results:
The mean age was 35 ± 15 years (range = 20–62 years), and the duration of injury was 57 ± 74 months (range = 3–240 months). T- and Z-scores were lower for the LAT L-spine than those for PA L-spine (T-scores L2: −0.7 ± 1.2 vs 0.0 ± 1.4, P < 0.01; L3: −0.9 ± 1.6 vs 0.3 ± 1.3, P < 0.002; L2-L3: −0.8 ± 1.3 vs 0.2 ± 1.3, P < 0.001; Z-scores L2: −0.3 ± 1.1 vs 0.2 ± 1.2, P < 0.05; L3: −0.6 ± 1.3 vs 0.5 ± 1.3, P < 0.01; L2-L3: −0.4 ± 1.1 vs 0.4 ± 1.2, P < 0.005). The T- and Z-scores for the total hip (−1.1 ± 1.0 and −1.0 ± 1.0, respectively) and L2-L3 LAT L-spine demonstrated remarkable similarity, whereas the L2-L3 PA L-spine scores were not reduced. Bone mineral density of the LAT L-spine, but not the PA L-spine, was significantly reduced with increasing duration of injury.Conclusions:
Individuals with SCI may have bone loss of the L-spine that is evident on LAT DXA that may be misdiagnosed by PA DXA, underestimating the potential risk of fracture. 相似文献2.

Background and Objective:
Robotic-assisted surgery offers a solution to fundamental limitations of conventional laparoscopic surgery, and its use is gaining wide popularity. However, the application of this technology has yet to be established in hepatic surgery.Methods:
A retrospective analysis of our prospectively collected liver surgery database was performed. Over a 6-month period, all consecutive patients who underwent robotic-assisted hepatic resection for a liver neoplasm were included. Demographics, operative time, and morbidity encountered were evaluated.Results:
A total of 7 robotic-assisted liver resections were performed, including 2 robotic-assisted single-port access liver resections with the da Vinci-Si Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical Sunnyvalle, Calif.) USA. The mean age was 44.6 years (range, 21–68 years); there were 5 male and 2 female patients. The mean operative time (± SD) was 61.4 ± 26.7 minutes; the mean operative console time (± SD) was 38.2 ± 23 minutes. No conversions were required. The mean blood loss was 100.7 mL (range, 10–200 mL). The mean hospital stay (± SD) was 2 ± 0.4 days. No postoperative morbidity related to the procedure or death was encountered.Conclusion:
Our initial experience with robotic liver resection confirms that this technique is both feasible and safe. Robotic-assisted technology appears to improve the precision and ergonomics of single-access surgery while preserving the known benefits of laparoscopic surgery, including cosmesis, minimal morbidity, and faster recovery. 相似文献3.

Purpose
To assess the outcome of transurethral plasmakinetic vaporization (PKVP) in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Patients and methods
From August 2010 to May 2012, 60 patients with obstructive LUTS due to BPH were included in the study. All patients were evaluated by International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), general examination, digital rectal examination, PSA, routine laboratory examinations, pelvi-abdominal ultrasound, trans-rectal ultrasound, and uroflowmetry. Patients with Qmax of <10 mL/sec., an IPSS of >8 and a prostate volume of >40 mL underwent transurethral PKVP.Results
Mean age of the patients was 66.8±4.5 years. The mean times of the operation, post-operative bladder irrigation, and post-operative catheterization were 63.8±13.9 minutes, 15.2±5.7 hours, and 23.9±5.2 hours, respectively. At 3 months of follow-up, there were significant reductions in the mean IPSS from 23.4±3.5 to 9.2±3.7 (P=0.4), mean PSA from 3.03±2.2 ng/mL to 1.2±1.04 ng/mL (P value=0.02), mean post voiding residual urine from 149.8±59.5 mL to 46.9±24.1 mL (P value <0.01), and mean prostate volume from 72.8±10.3 mL to 22.7±6.1 mL (P value <0.01). Also, there was a statistically significant increase in the mean Q max. from 8.7±2.4 mL/s to 19.5±3.5 mL/s (P value <0.01).Conclusion
PKVP is an effective and safe treatment option in the management of symptomatic BPH. 相似文献4.

Background/Objective:
It is suspected that the speed of the motion of the spinal cord under static compression may be the cause of spinal cord injury (SCI). However, little is known about the relationship between the speed of the motion of the spinal cord and its stress distributions. The objective was to carry out a biomechanical study of SCI in patients with ossification of the longitudinal ligament without radiologic evidence of injury.Methods:
A 3-dimensional finite element spinal cord model was established. After the application of static compression, the model underwent anterior flexion to simulate SCI in ossification of the longitudinal ligament patients without radiologic abnormality. Flexion of the spine was assumed to occur at 1 motor segment. Flexion angle was 5°, and flexion speeds were 0.5°/s, 5°/s, and 50°/s. Stress distributions inside of the spinal cord were evaluated.Results:
Stresses on the spinal cord increased slightly after the application of 5° of flexion at a speed of 0.5°/s. Stresses became much higher at a speed of 5°/s and increased further at 50°s.Conclusions:
The stress distribution of the spinal cord under static compression increased with faster flexion speed of the spinal cord. High-speed motion of the spinal cord under static compression may be one of the causes of SCI in the absence of radiologic abnormality. 相似文献6.

Objective:
To investigate the impact of ovarian endometrioma vaporization using plasma energy on antimullerian hormone (AMH) level.Method:
We report a prospective, noncomparative series (). Twenty-two patients with unilateral ovarian endometriomas ≥30 mm, with no surgical antecedent and no ongoing pregnancy, underwent vaporization of ovarian endometriomas using plasma energy during the period of November 29, 2010 to November 28, 2012. We assessed AMH levels before surgery, 3 months postoperatively, and at the end of follow-up. NCT01596985Results:
The mean length of postoperative follow-up was 18.2 ± 8 months. AMH level significantly varied through the 3 assessments performed in the study, as the mean values ± SD were 3.9 ± 2.6 ng/mL before the surgery, 2.3 ± 1.1 ng/mL at 3 months, and 3.1 ± 2.2 ng/mL at the end of the follow-up (P = .001). There was a significant increase from 3 months postoperatively to the end of follow-up (median change 0.7 ng/mL, P = .01). Seventy-one percent of patients had an AMH level >2 ng/mL at the end of the follow-up versus 76% before the surgery (P = 1). During the postoperative follow-up, 11 patients tried to conceive, of whom 8 (73%) became pregnant.Conclusions:
The ablation of unilateral endometriomas is followed in a majority of cases by a significant decrease in AMH level 3 months after surgery. In subsequent months, this level progressively increases, raising questions about the real factors that impact postoperative ovarian AMH production. 相似文献7.

BACKGROUND:
Fluid management of the surgical patient has undergone a paradigm shift over the past decade. A change from ‘wet’ to ‘dry’ to a ‘goal-directed’ approach has been witnessed. The fluid management of patients undergoing free flap reconstruction is particularly challenging. This is typically a long operation with minimal surgical stimulation, and hypotension often ensues. The use of vasopressors in these cases is contraindicated to maintain adequate flow to the flap. Hypotension is often treated with intravenous fluid boluses. However, aggressive fluid administration to maintain adequate blood pressure can result in flap edema, venous engorgement and, ultimately, flap loss.OBJECTIVE:
The primary objective of the present study was to determine whether goal-directed fluid therapy, titrated to maintain stroke volume variation ≤13%, with the use of an arterial pulse contour device results in improved postoperative cardiac index (CI) and stroke volume index (SVI) with reduced amounts of intravenous fluid. The primary end points studied were CI, SVI and cumulative crystalloid/colloid administration.METHODS:
Twenty female patients undergoing simultaneous microvascular free flap reconstruction immediately following mastectomy were studied. Preoperative and intraoperative care were standardized. Each patient received intra-arterial blood pressure monitoring. In all patients, cardiac output measurement occurred throughout the intraoperative period using the arterial pulse contour device. Control patients had their fluid administered at the discretion of the anesthesiologist (blinded to results from the cardiac output device). Patients in the intervention group had a baseline crystalloid infusion of 5 mL/kg/h, with intravenous colloid boluses to maintain a stroke volume variation ≤13%.RESULTS:
There was no difference in heart rate or mean arterial pressure between groups at the end of the operation. However, at the end of the operation, the intervention group had significantly higher mean (± SD) CI (3.8±0.8 L/min/m2 versus 3.0±0.5 L/min/m2; P=0.02) and SVI (51.4±2.4 mL/m2 versus 43.3±2.3 mL/m2; P=0.03). This improved CI and SVI was achieved with similar amounts of administered intraoperative fluid (5.8±0.5 mL/kg/h versus 5.0±0.7 mL/kg/h, control versus intervention). The intervention group required less postoperative fluid resuscitation during the early postoperative period (total fluid administered from end of operation to midnight of the operative day, 6.4±1.9 mL/kg/h versus 10.2±3.3 mL/kg/h, intervention versus control, respectively, P<0.01).DISCUSSION:
Goal-directed fluid therapy using minimally invasive cardiac output monitoring resulted in improved end-operative hemodynamics, with less ‘rescue’ fluid administration during the perioperative period. 相似文献8.
BACKGROUND:
The infiltration of local anesthetics can be painful, which is likely due, in part, to their acidity. In spite of a Cochrane study that recommended neutralizing lidocaine with bicarbonate to decrease the pain of injection, not many surgeons have adopted the practice, and there are many ‘recipes’ for how much bicarbonate one should add.OBJECTIVE:
To determine the acidity of lidocaine and the correct ratio of bicarbonate that should be added to neutralize lidocaine to achieve body pH.METHODS:
Fifty samples each of commonly used anesthetics (lidocaine 1% and 2%, with and without epinephrine 1:100,000) were obtained and tested for pH. Data were also analyzed according to whether the vials had been previously opened. Ten additional samples of lidocaine 1% with 1:100,000 epinephrine were titrated against sodium bicarbonate 8.4% and tested for pH and the presence of precipitate.RESULTS:
A solution of 1% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine had a mean (± SD) pH of 4.24±0.42, and 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine had a mean pH of 3.93±0.43. Plain 1% lidocaine had a pH of 6.09±0.16, and plain 2% lidocaine had a pH of 6.00±0.27. Epinephrine-containing solutions were more acidic when they had been previously opened. One per cent lidocaine with epinephrine required 8.4% sodium bicarbonate at a ratio of 1.1 mL:10 mL to 1.8 mL:10 mL to achieve the target tissue pH of 7.38 to 7.62.CONCLUSION:
Lidocaine with epinephrine was approximately 1000 times more acidic than subcutaneous tissue. The addition of bicarbonate to the local anesthetic solution is simple to perform and is inexpensive. The proper volume ratio of 8.4% sodium bicarbonate to 1% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine is approximately 1 mL:10 mL. Surgeons should be more aware of the simplicity and value of buffering with bicarbonate to decrease the pain of injection. 相似文献9.

Background
Liposomal amphotericin B is locally delivered to treat fungal orthopaedic infections but little is known about local tissue toxicity, if any, that might be associated with local delivery.Questions/purposes
(1) Is liposomal amphotericin B cytotoxic in vitro? (2) Is locally delivered liposomal amphotericin B toxic to tissue in vivo?Methods
Mouse fibroblasts (BA LB/3T3 A31) and osteoblasts (MC3T3) were exposed to two formulations of amphotericin B (liposomal and deoxycholate) at concentrations of 0, 1, 5, 10, 100, 500, and 1000 μg/mL. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay after 1, 3, and 5 hours of exposure and a proliferation assay after 1, 4, and 7 days of exposure and then after 3 recovery days without drug. Tissue exposure occurred by local delivery of liposomal amphotericin B, 200 or 800 mg/batch antifungal-loaded bone cement (ALBC), or amphotericin B deoxycholate, 800 mg/batch ALBC in rat paraspinal muscles. White blood cell count (WBC) and serum amphotericin B levels were obtained on Days 1 and 3. Rats were euthanized at 2 and 4 weeks and semiqualitative histopathology was performed.Results
Liposomal amphotericin B is cytotoxic in vitro but not toxic to tissues in vivo. All cells survived concentrations up to 1000 μg/mL for 5 hours, 100% ± 0%, but none survived ≥ 100 μg/mL for 7 days, 0% ± 0%. Fibrosis was seen adjacent to ALBC without inflammation or necrosis, indistinguishable from controls for both liposomal amphotericin B doses. Amphotericin B serum levels were all less than 1 µg/mL and WBC counts were all normal.Conclusions
In vitro cytotoxicity to liposomal amphotericin B occurred but no adverse tissue reaction was seen in vivo.Clinical Relevance
Local delivery of liposomal amphotericin B in ALBC was well tolerated by mouse tissue; however, clinical studies are needed to confirm this finding in humans. 相似文献12.

Background and Objectives:
The aim of this report is to document the feasibility and safety of umbilical single-incision laparoscopic liver cyst unroofing in the treatment of simple hepatic cysts in a retrospective case-control study. We also introduce some operative skills for single-incision laparoscopic surgery.Methods:
From May 2009 to July 2011, 15 patients underwent umbilical single-incision laparoscopic liver cyst unroofing. All the clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Another 15 simple liver cyst patients who received standard laparoscopic liver cyst unroofing at our hospital during the same period—with a similar age, nature of the cyst, and position to the single-incision group—were selected to undergo a case-control study. The operative time, blood loss, recovery time of gastrointestinal function, volume of postoperative drainage, postoperative drainage time, postoperative hospitalization time, and postoperative recurrence rate were compared between the two groups.Results:
There was no significant difference between the single-incision group and standard group in operative time (58.3 ± 7.43 minutes vs 58.7 ± 6.14 minutes), blood loss (17.0 ± 3.19 mL vs 14.7 ± 1.86 mL), recovery time of gastrointestinal function (2.5 ± 0.22 days vs 2.4 ± 0.22 days), volume of postoperative drainage (408.0 ± 119.5 mL vs 450.0 ± 89.5 mL), postoperative drainage time (2.6 ± 0.55 days vs 3.7 ± 0.59 days), or postoperative hospitalization time (4.8 ± 0.44 days vs 5.2 ± 0.56 days) (P > .05). The postoperative follow-up period was 1 to 24 months.Conclusions:
Compared with standard laparoscopic liver cyst unroofing, single-incision laparoscopic liver cyst unroofing shows no significant difference during the overall treatment process. In addition to the advantages of less trauma, more rapid recovery, and shorter hospital stay, single-incision laparoscopic surgery can reach the effect of “no scar” and can be safely and effectively carried out. 相似文献13.

Background:
Anastomotic leak are reported among neonates who underwent esophageal atresia.Aim:
To find risk factors of anastomotic leakage in patients underwent esophageal repair.Methods:
All cases with esophageal atresia were included. In this case control study, patients were classified in two groups according to presence or absence of anastomotic leaks. Duration of study was 10 years.Results:
Sixty-one cases were included. Mean±SD age at time of surgery in patients with leakage and without leakage was 9.50±7.25 and 8.83±6.93 respectively (p=.670). Blood transfusion and two layer anastomosis had significant correlation with anastomotic leakage.Conclusion:
Blood transfusion and double layer anastomosis are associated with higher rate of anastomotic leakage. 相似文献14.

Objective:
To assess the peak force during wheelchair propulsion of individuals with spinal cord injury propelling over obstacles from the Wheelchair Skills Test.Participants/Methods:
Twenty-three individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) who are full-time manual wheelchair users were included in this prospective study. A SmartWheel (Three Rivers Holdings, LLC) was used to analyze each push while subjects negotiated standardized obstacles used in the Wheelchair Skills Test, including tile, carpet, soft surface, 5° and 10° ramps, 2 cm, 5 cm, and 15 cm curbs.Results:
When the peak forces of the advanced skills were compared to level 10 m tile/10 m carpet, there was a statistically significant increase in all peak forces (P value ranged from .0001 to .0268).Discussion:
It is well documented that a large number of individuals with SCI develop upper limb pain. One of the recommendations to preserve the upper limb is to minimize force during repetitive tasks.Conclusion:
Advanced wheelchair skills require an increase in force to accomplish. The increase in forces ranged from 18% to 130% over that required for level 10 m tile/10 m carpet. 相似文献15.

Background
Muscle fatigability can increase when a stressful, cognitively demanding task is imposed during a low-force fatiguing contraction with the arm muscles, especially in women. Whether this occurs among older adults (> 60 years) is currently unknown.Questions/purposes
We aimed to determine if higher cognitive demands, stratified by sex, increased fatigability in older adults (> 60 years). Secondarily, we assessed if varying cognitive demand resulted in decreased steadiness and was explained by anxiety or cortisol levels.Methods
Seventeen older women (70 ± 6 years) and 13 older men (71 ± 5 years) performed a sustained, isometric, fatiguing contraction at 20% of maximal voluntary contraction until task failure during three sessions: high cognitive demand (high CD = mental subtraction by 13); low cognitive demand (low CD = mental subtraction by 1); and control (no subtraction).Results
Fatigability was greater when high and low CD were performed during the fatiguing contraction for the women but not for the men. In women, time to failure with high CD was 16 ± 8 minutes and with low CD was 17 ± 4 minutes, both of which were shorter than time to failure in control contractions (21 ± 7 minutes; high CD mean difference: 5 minutes [95% confidence interval {CI}, 0.78–9.89], p = 0.02; low CD mean difference: 4 minutes [95% CI, 0.57–7.31], p = 0.03). However, in men, no differences were detected in time to failure with cognitive demand (control: 13 ± 5 minutes; high CD mean difference: −0.09 minutes [95% CI, −2.8 to 2.7], p = 1.00; low CD mean difference: 0.75 minutes [95% CI, −1.1 to 2.6], p = 0.85). Steadiness decreased (force fluctuations increased) more during high CD than control. Elevated anxiety, mean arterial pressure, and salivary cortisol levels in both men and women did not explain the greater fatigability during high CD.Conclusions
Older women but not men showed marked increases in fatigability when low or high CD was imposed during sustained static contractions with the elbow flexor muscles and contrasts with previous findings for the lower limb. Steadiness decreased in both sexes when high CD was imposed.Clinical Relevance
Older women are susceptible to greater fatigability of the upper limb with heightened mental activity during sustained postural contractions, which are the foundation of many work-related tasks. 相似文献16.

Context/objective
To examine the effects of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) on lower-limb spasticity.Design
Interventional pilot study to produce preliminary data.Setting
Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Wilhelminenspital, Vienna, Austria.Participants
Three subjects with chronic motor-incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) who could walk ≥10 m.Interventions
Two interconnected stimulating skin electrodes (Ø 5 cm) were placed paraspinally at the T11/T12 vertebral levels, and two rectangular electrodes (8 × 13 cm) on the abdomen for the reference. Biphasic 2 ms-width pulses were delivered at 50 Hz for 30 minutes at intensities producing paraesthesias but no motor responses in the lower limbs.Outcome measures
The Wartenberg pendulum test and neurological recordings of surface-electromyography (EMG) were used to assess effects on exaggerated reflex excitability. Non-functional co-activation during volitional movement was evaluated. The timed 10-m walk test provided measures of clinical function.Results
The index of spasticity derived from the pendulum test changed from 0.8 ± 0.4 pre- to 0.9 ± 0.3 post-stimulation, with an improvement in the subject with the lowest pre-stimulation index. Exaggerated reflex responsiveness was decreased after tSCS across all subjects, with the most profound effect on passive lower-limb movement (pre- to post-tSCS EMG ratio: 0.2 ± 0.1), as was non-functional co-activation during voluntary movement. Gait speed values increased in two subjects by 39%.Conclusion
These preliminary results suggest that tSCS, similar to epidurally delivered stimulation, may be used for spasticity control, without negatively impacting residual motor control in incomplete SCI. Further study in a larger population is warranted. 相似文献17.
Background/aims
We are evaluated technique of anatomic major and minor hepatic resections using suprahilar-extrafascial dissection of Glissonean pedicle with vascular stapling device for transection of hepatic vessels intending to minimize operative time, and blood loss.Methodology
We prospectively analyzed the clinical records of 170 patients who underwent hepatic resection by suprahilar-extrafascial pedicle isolation and stapling technique in our clinic for emergency surgery in Belgrade. Patients who underwent hilar extrahepatic intrafascial dissection were excluded from the study.Results
We performed 102 minor liver resections and 68 major hepatectomies. The minor liver resections were associated with significantly shorter surgery duration (95.1±31.1 vs. 186.6±56.5) and transection time (35.9±14.5 vs. 65.3±17.2) than major hepatectomies (P<0.001 for all). The mean blood loss was 255.6±129.9 mL in minor resection and 385.7±200.1 mL in major resection (P=0.003). The mean blood transfusion requirement was 300.8±99.5 mL for the patients with minor hepatectomy and 450.9±89.6 mL for those with major liver resection (P=0.067). There was no significant difference in morbidity and mortality between the groups (P=0.989; P=0.920). Major as well as minor liver resection were a superior oncologic operation with no significant difference in the 3-year overall survival rates.Conclusions
Extrafascial dissection of Glissonean pedicle with vascular stapling represents both an effective and safe surgical technique of anatomical liver resection. Presented approach allows early and easy ischemic delineation of appropriate anatomical liver territory to be removed (hemiliver, section, segment) with selective inflow vascular control. Also, it is not time consuming and it is very useful in re-resection, as well as oncologically reasonable. 相似文献18.

Background
Injury to subchondral bone is associated with knee pain and osteoarthritis (OA). A percutaneous calcium phosphate injection is a novel approach in which subchondral bone marrow edema lesions are percutaneously injected with calcium phosphate. In theory, calcium phosphate provides structural support while it is gradually replaced by bone. However, little clinical evidence supports the efficacy of percutaneous calcium phosphate injections.Questions/purposes
We asked: (1) Does percutaneous calcium phosphate injection improve validated patient-reported outcome measures? (2) What proportion of patients experience failure of treatment (defined as a low score on the Tegner Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale)? (3) Is there a relationship between outcome and age, sex, BMI, and preoperative grade of OA?Methods
Between September 2012 and January 2014, we treated 33 patients with percutaneous calcium phosphate injections. Twenty-five satisfied our study inclusion criteria; of those, three patients were lost to followup and 22 (88%; 13 men, nine women) with a median age of 53.5 years (range, 38–70 years) were available for retrospective chart review and telephone evaluation at a minimum of 6 months (median, 12 months; range, 6–24 months). Our general indications for this procedure were the presence of subchondral bone marrow edema lesions observed on MR images involving weightbearing regions of the knee associated with localized pain on weightbearing and palpation and failure to respond to conservative therapy (> 3 months). Patients with pain secondary to extensive nondegenerative meniscal tears with a flipped displaced component at the level of bone marrow edema lesions, or with mechanical axis deviation greater than 8° were excluded. All patients had Grades III or IV chondral lesions (modified Outerbridge grading system for chondromalacia) overlying MRI-identified subchondral bone marrow edema lesions. Percutaneous calcium phosphate injection was performed on the medial tibial condyle (15 patients), the medial femoral condyle (five patients), and the lateral femoral condyle (two patients). Concomitant partial meniscectomy was performed in 18 patients. Preoperative and postoperative scores from the Knee Injury and Arthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and the Tegner Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale were analyzed.Results
For patients available for followup, the outcome scores improved after treatment. The KOOS improved from a mean of 39.5 ± 21.8 to 71.3 ± 23 (95% CI, 18.6–45.2; p < 0.001) and the Tegner and Lysholm score from 48 ± 15.1 to 77.5 ± 20.6 (95% CI, 18.8–40.2; p < 0.001). However, seven of the 22 patients had poor clinical outcomes as assessed by the Tegner Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale, whereas three had fair results, five had good results, and seven had excellent results. The postoperative Tegner Lysholm score was inversely related to the preoperative Kellgren-Lawrence OA grade (R2 = 0.292; F (1.20) = 9.645; p = 0.006). We found no relationship between outcome scores and age, sex, or BMI.Conclusions
In a study that would have been expected to present a best-case analysis (short-term followup, loss to followup of patients with potentially unsatisfactory results, and use of invasive cotreatments including arthroscopic débridements), we found that percutaneous calcium phosphate injection in patients with symptomatic bone marrow edema lesions of the knee and advanced OA yielded poor results in a concerning proportion of our patients. Based on these results, we advise against the use of percutaneous calcium phosphate injections for patients with advanced osteoarthritic changes.Level of Evidence

Background and Objectives:
Our objective was to review the surgical management, surgical outcomes, and obstetric outcomes of adnexal masses in pregnancy.Methods:
A retrospective review was performed of pregnant women before 20 weeks of gestation who underwent laparoscopy or laparotomy for management of an adnexal mass during the period of January 2005 to June 2012 at a university-affiliated hospital.Results:
Thirty-five pregnant women underwent surgical removal of adnexal masses during the 7.5-year study period: 21 (60.0%) underwent laparoscopic surgery, and 14 (40.0%) underwent laparotomy. The left upper quadrant entry technique was used in 20 women. Conversion to laparotomy was required in 2 women because of extensive pelvic adhesions. The mean gestational age at surgery was 15.2 ± 1.9 weeks. All women had undergone ovarian cystectomy. A malignant mass was found in 3 (8.6%) women. The laparoscopy group had a significantly less blood loss (67.4 ± 55.8 vs 153.6 ± 181.0 mL, P = .048) and shorter mean hospital stay (2.8 ± 1.0 vs 3.8 ± 1.1 days, P = .006) than the laparotomy group. One woman miscarried soon after surgery. There was no significant difference in obstetric outcomes between the laparoscopy and laparotomy groups.Conclusion:
Surgical management of adnexal masses during pregnancy appears to have favorable outcomes for the mother and the fetus. 相似文献20.
