RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Although the rotation of lower extremities has gained increasing recognition as a risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. This study clarified the influence of lower extremity rotation on the knee during single-leg landing. DESIGN AND SETTING: We recruited 30 students to perform single-leg landing from a height of 30 cm with their lower extremities in neutral, and externally and internally rotated. The knee abduction, flexion angles, and abduction angular velocity were measured. Furthermore, the abduction angle was analyzed at knee flexion angles of 15°, 20°, 25°, and 30° and compared among the three conditions using a repeated measures analysis of variance with Bonferroni post hoc tests. RESULTS: The maximum abduction angle was significantly greater when internally rotated than in the neutral. The maximum abduction angular velocity was significantly greater in the internally rotated compared to in the neutral. Finally, the abduction angle at a knee flexion angle of 30° was significantly greater when internally rotated compared to in the neutral. CONCLUSION: Rotation of the lower extremities affects knee kinematics, and landing on a knee that is internally rotated may increase the risk of ACL injury.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of improving the attitude of dental students towards the use of a full-body patient simulation system (SIMROID) compared to the traditional mannequin (CLINSIM) for dental clinical education. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The participants were 10 male undergraduate dental students who had finished clinical training in the university hospital 1 year before this study started. They performed a crown preparation on an upper pre-molar tooth using SIMROID and CLINSIM as the practical clinical trials. The elapsed time for preparation was recorded. The taper of the abutment teeth was measured using a 3-dimensional shape-measuring device after this trial. In addition, a self-reported questionnaire was collected that included physical pain, treatment safety and maintaining a clean area for each simulator. Qualitative data analysis of a free format report about SIMROID was performed using text mining analysis. This trial was performed twice at 1-month intervals. RESULTS: The students considered physical pain, treatment safety and a clean area for SIMROID significantly better than that for CLINSIM (P < .01). The elapsed time of preparation in the second practical clinical trial was significantly lower than in the first for SIMROID and CLINSIM (P < .01). However, there were no significant differences between the abutment tapers for both systems. For the text mining analysis, most of the students wrote that SIMROID was similar to real patients. CONCLUSION: The use of SIMROID was proven to be effective in improving the attitude of students towards patients, thereby giving importance to considerations for actual patients during dental treatment.

RESUMO

Sleep bruxism (SB) subjects show a higher incidence of rhythmic masticatory muscle activity (RMMA) than control subjects. RMMA is associated with sleep micro-arousals. This study aims to: (i) assess RMMA/SB episodes in relation to sleep cycles; (ii) establish if RMMA/SB and micro-arousals occur in relation to the slow wave activity (SWA) dynamics; (iii) analyze the association between RMMA/SB and autonomic cardiac activity across sleep cycles. Two nights of polygraphic recordings were made in three study groups (20 subjects each): moderate to high SB, low SB and control. RMMA episodes were considered to occur in clusters when several groups of RMMA or non-specific oromotor episodes were separated by less than 100 s. Correlations between sleep, RMMA/SB index and heart rate variability variables were assessed for the first four sleep cycles of each study group. Statistical analyses were done with SYSTAT and SPSS. It was observed that 75.8% of all RMMA/SB episodes occurred in clusters. Micro-arousal and SB indexes were highest during sleep cycles 2 and 3 (P < 0.001). Within each cycle, micro-arousal and RMMA/SB indexes showed an increase before each REM sleep (P

RESUMO

The purpose of this study was to review retrospectively recent results in 75 patients undergoing thoracoabdominal aortic operations using the technique of distal aortic perfusion with segmental aortic clamping. Between July 1997 and November 2003, 46 males (61%) and 29 females (39%) were treated. The patients ranged in age from 26 to 82 (mean 63 +/- 13) years. Indications for surgery included dissecting thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (n = 28), atherosclerotic thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (n = 46), and traumatic aneurysm (n = 1). Emergency operation was performed in 8 (11%). The extent of aneurysm was Crawford type I in 12 patients, type II in 19, type III in 34, and type IV in 10. Profound hypothermic circulatory arrest was used in 3 patients and retrograde segmental clamping technique in 5. Cerebrospinal fluid drainage and naloxone hydrochloride administration were performed as adjunctive methods since February 2000. There were 6 (8%) in-hospital deaths. The overall incidence of postoperative paraplegia or paraparesis was 8% (6/75). Although the survival rate has improved, the problem of a complete prevention of ischemic spinal cord injury on the thoracoabdominal aortic operations remains unsolved. The multimodality approach is needed to reduce the risk of this devastating complication.

RESUMO

The effects of pressure applied by cuffs to the abdomen, thighs and legs on resting salivary flow rate and digestive function of saliva were investigated in 9 healthy female students, aged 18 to 33 yrs (Experiment I) in a climatic chamber (Ta: 28 degrees C, RH: 50%). Each participant changed from street clothing into loose-fitting experimental garments so as to avoid any skin pressure on the body, and sat calmly in a reclining chair throughout the experimental period (195 min). After 90 min (FREE period), the physiological effects of skin pressure applied by their own clothing disappeared, and skin pressure was applied for the next 60 min to the abdomen (40 mmHg) and thighs (40 mmHg) then to the legs (60 mmHg) by the use of air-inflated cuffs (PRESSURE period). During the next 45 min, the skin pressure was again removed by letting the air of the cuffs out (FREE' period). The resting salivary flow rate was significantly suppressed while the skin pressure was applied by the cuffs. The digestive time for starch investigated in terms of the iodine starch reaction was longer with the skin pressure than without. The concentration of amylase measured in 20 female participants aged 21 to 23 yrs, decreased with skin pressure applied by the usage of the rubber tape (Experiment II). These results suggest that the pressure applied to the body can influence the digestive response by decreasing the amount of saliva via the autonomic nervous system.

RESUMO

The clinical feasibility and usefulness of adenosine triphosphate-2Na (ATP) stress echocardiography for the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) were assessed. Two-dimensional echocardiography and thallium-201 single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) during ATP infusion were performed simultaneously in 58 consecutive patients (41 men and 17 women; mean age 66 +/- 12 years) with suspected CAD. ATP was infused intravenously at 0.16 mg/kg/min for 5 min and thallium was injected at 4 min. All patients underwent coronary angiography within 2 weeks of ATP echocardiography and ATP SPECT. An ischemic response during ATP infusion was detected by echocardiography as the development or worsening of a wall motion abnormality compared with the baseline and by SPECT as a perfusion defect that filled totally or partially during redistribution. Significant coronary artery stenosis was defined as > or = 75% diameter stenosis in a major epicardial vessel. The severity of the stenosis was classified as follows: Group A, lesions with significant coronary artery stenosis (> or = 75%, < 90%); Group B, lesions with severe coronary artery stenosis (> or = 90%) without collateral circulation; Group C, lesions with severe coronary artery stenosis (> or = 90%) with collateral circulation. Significant CAD was present in 43 of 58 patients. The overall sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of ATP echocardiography for detecting significant CAD were 70%, 100% and 78%, respectively, and those of ATP SPECT were 98%, 87% and 95%, respectively. In patients without previous myocardial infarction, the sensitivity of ATP echocardiography was 67%. The sensitivity of ATP echocardiography and ATP SPECT for detecting myocardial ischemia were 59% and 95% in patients with 1-vessel disease, 75% and 100% in those with 2-vessel disease, and 88% and 100% in those with 3-vessel disease, respectively. The induction of wall motion abnormality by ATP echocardiography was highly concordant with ATP SPECT imaging in patients with multivessel disease. Although the sensitivity of ATP echocardiography improved in patients with multivessel disease more than in those with single-vessel disease, detection of all diseased vessels was achieved in only 10% of patients with multivessel disease. The sensitivity of ATP echocardiography and ATP SPECT for detecting myocardial ischemia in individual vessels were: right coronary artery, 58% and 74%; left anterior descending artery, 59% and 97%; left circumflex artery, 27% and 68%. ATP-induced transient perfusion defects were associated with transient wall motion abnormality in only 57% of segments. The sensitivity of ATP echocardiography and ATP SPECT for detecting myocardial ischemia in patients with severe coronary stenosis were: Group A, 32% and 66%; Group B, 60% and 93%; Group C, 80% and 95%. The sensitivity of ATP echocardiography was significantly higher in the lesions with collateral circulation than in those without collateral circulation. ATP stress echocardiography is useful for detecting myocardial ischemia in patients with multivessel disease and in patients with severe coronary artery stenosis (> or = 90%). In particular, transient wall motion abnormality tends to be detected in the segments perfused by collateral circulation.

RESUMO

The transferability of cefozopran (CZOP) to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was studied employing rabbits with experimental meningitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus. The mean plasma concentration was 293 +/- 17.6 micrograms/ml at 15 minutes after intravenous administration of CZOP at a dose level of 100 mg/kg. The mean concentration in CSF reached its maximum, 16.5 +/- 2.74 micrograms/ml at 60 minutes after administration. Pharmacokinetic parameters calculated from these values were as follows: Cmax (CSF/plasma) 5.72%, AUC (CSF/plasma) 6.61% between 15 and 60 minutes, 9.38% between 15 and 120 minutes and 11.2% between 15 and 180 minutes, T 1/2 for CZOP in CSF: 138 minutes, T 1/2 (CSF/plasma): 2.81. In comparison to those of beta-lactams that were obtained in the same way, the transferability of CZOP to CSF was moderate but concentration in CSF was high, hence, in consideration of the antimicrobial potency against the main pathogens of meningitis, it appears worthwhile of running clinical trials for CZOP.

RESUMO

Cefozopran (CZOP) was administered via intravenous injection to 9 patients (ages ranging from 1 month to 13 years) with pediatric bacterial infections, at daily dose levels between 56.7 and 200 mg/kg, divided into 3 or 4 doses. The following results were obtained. 1. Eight patients, including 1 with purulent meningitis, 1 with sepsis, 3 with acute pneumonia and 3 with lymphadenitis, were treated and subjected to clinical evaluation. Clinical effects were excellent in 6 cases and good in 2, with an overall efficacy rate of 100%. One case with pyoderma was not evaluated because of a combined use of an external antibiotic. 2. Organisms suspected as pathogens included 5 strains: 3 strains of Haemophilus influenzae, 1 strain of Staphylococcus aureus and 1 of Escherichia coli. Bacteriologically, all the strains were eradicated. 3. Side effects or abnormal laboratory test results were observed in 4 cases; wheal in 1 case, elevated GOT and GPT in 2 cases and eosinophilia in 1 case. 4. From the results described above, we considered that CZOP would be an effective drug for use in pediatric bacterial infections.

RESUMO

The transferability of biapenem (L-627) to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was studied employing rabbits with experimental meningitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus. The mean plasma concentration was 192 +/- 12.8 micrograms/ml at 15 minutes after intravenous administration of the drug at a dose level of 100 mg/kg. The mean concentration in CSF was maximum at 45 minutes after administration at 11.4 +/- 2.19 micrograms/ml. Pharmacokinetic parameters calculated from these values were as follows, Cmax (CSF/plasma): 5.96%; AUC (CSF/plasma): 8.15% between 15 and 60 minutes, 12.1% between 15 and 120 minutes and 15.0% between 15 and 180 minutes; T1/2 for L-627 in CSF: 152 minutes; T1/2 (CSF/plasma): 3.34. In comparison with those of other beta-lactam antibiotics that were obtained in the same way, the transferability of L-627 was intermediate, and in consideration of the antimicrobial potency against the main pathogens of meningitis, it appears worthwhile of running clinical trials for this drug.

RESUMO

A 3-month-old boy presented with a tail associated with lipomeningocele. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging clearly demonstrated the presence of spina bifida and lipoma continuous from the tail to the thickened conus medullaris. The human tail may be related to spinal dysraphism and requires detailed neuroimaging investigation, and possibly microsurgery to prevent the tethered cord syndrome.

RESUMO

We studied the clinical use of S-1108 granules in the pediatric field. The results are summarized as follows. 1. S-1108 was administered orally at doses ranging 6.85 and 17.6 mg/kg/day t.i.d. to 9 patients, including 5 cases of pharyngitis and 1 case each of lacunar tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia and urinary tract infection. Clinical efficacies were excellent in 4 cases and good in 5 cases, hence an efficacy rate of 100% was obtained. 2. Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus parainfluenzae (2 strains each) and Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis (1 strain each) were identified in these cases. Seven of the 8 strains were eliminated upon treatment and the other strain was decreased, hence an eradication rate of 87.5% was obtained. 3. Side effects observed were 1 case each of soft stools and diarrhea. As an abnormal laboratory test result, an increase in GPT level was observed. 4. No refusal of the drug occurred. 5. From the above results, we consider that this drug would be a useful new oral antibiotic for the pediatric field.

RESUMO

The transferability of vancomycin (VCM) to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was studied employing rabbits with experimental meningitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus. VCM was administered intravenously for 30 minutes at a dose level of 30 mg/kg. Serum concentration reached a maximum of 75 +/- 3.80 micrograms/ml (mean +/- S.E.) at the completion of administration (i.e., 30 minutes) and CSF concentration reached a maximum of 2.4 +/- 0.39 micrograms/ml at 60 minutes. Pharmacokinetic parameters calculated from this concentration-time curve were as follows: Cmax (CSF/Serum) 3.21%, AUC (CSF/Serum) 2.39% between 15 and 60 minutes, 3.99% between 15 and 120 minutes, and 4.40% between 15 and 150 minutes. T 1/2 for VCM in CSF: 143 minutes, T1/2 (CSF/Serum):2.09. Based on this investigation, VCM appears to be effective in the treatment of meningitis caused by MRSA (Methicillin-resistant S. aureus).

RESUMO

Cefprozil granule preparation was administered orally to 16 patients (ages ranging 8 months to 9 years and 6 months) with pediatric bacterial infections at daily dose levels between 29.4 and 35.7 mg/kg divided into 3 or 4 doses. The following results were obtained. 1. Sixteen patients including 5 with pharyngitis, 3 with tonsillitis, 3 with lacunar tonsillitis, 2 with pneumonia, 2 with contagious impetigo and 1 with scarlet fever were treated. Clinical effects were excellent in 9 cases and moderate in 7, with an overall efficacy rate of 100%. 2. Organisms suspected as pathogens included 17 strains (10 strains of haemophilus influenzae, 2 of Haemophilus parainfluenzae, 3 of Streptococcus pyogenes and 2 of Staphylococcus aureus). Bacteriologically, eradication of pathogens were observed for 11 strains, but no changes were obtained for 5 (all Haemophilus), and unknown results were obtained for 1, thus the eradication rate was 68.8%. 3. No side effects were observed. Abnormal laboratory test results included 2 cases of increase in platelets, and 2 of increase in eosinophils, but those were not significant. 4. No refusal of the drug occurred due to its taste or odor.

RESUMO

The transferability of meropenem (MEPM) to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was studied employing rabbits with experimental meningitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus. The mean serum concentration was 93.1 +/- 13.5 micrograms/ml at 15 minutes after intravenous administration of MEPM at a dose level of 100 mg/kg. The mean concentration in CSF was maximum at 15 minutes after administration at 4.42 +/- 2.24 micrograms/ml. Pharmacokinetic parameters calculated from these values were as follows: Cmax (CSF/serum) 4.75%, AUC (CSF/serum) 10.4% between 15 and 60 minutes, 13.9% between 15 and 120 minutes and 15.7% between 15 and 180 minutes, T 1/2 for MEPM in CSF: 50.9 minutes, T 1/2 (CSF/serum): 2.19. In comparison to those of imipenem which were obtained in the same way, the transferability of MEPM was similar and in consideration of the antimicrobial potency against the main pathogens of meningitis, it appears worth-while of running clinical trials for this drug.

RESUMO

The pharmacokinetics and the clinical effectiveness of meropenem (MEPM) were examined in the field of pediatrics. The results are summarized as follows. 1. A 4-year-6-month-old girl with suppurative meningitis (Haemophilus influenzae) was treated by intravenous drip infusion of MEPM in a daily dose of 29 mg/kg which was divided into 4 dosages, each dosage being infused over 30 minutes, and the drug concentration in cerebrospinal fluid was determined. Upon completion of infusion on the 2nd day of treatment, the drug concentration was 2.52 micrograms/ml, which corresponded to 3.6% of the drug concentration in the blood. 2. MEPM was used in 10 patients, including 3 with suppurative lymphnoditis, 2 with staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) and 1 each with pneumonia, suppurative meningitis, suppurative knee arthritis, facial phlegmon and pyelonephritis. The daily doses ranged from 30 to 117.6 mg/kg, divided into 3 to 4 dosages and administered via intravenous drip infusion over 30 minutes. Clinical responses were evaluated as very good in 7 patients, good in 2 patients and fair in 1 patient, with an efficacy rate of 90%. 3. Isolated pathogens were 2 strains of Staphylococcus aureus, 1 strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae and 3 strains of Haemopilus influenzae. All of the 6 strains were eradicated, with an eradication rate of 100%. 4. In the safety evaluation, none of the patients was observed to have any side effects. Furthermore, no abnormal variations were found in laboratory test data possibly attributable to administration of MEPM.

RESUMO

The effects of exercise training on the restoration of hibernating myocardium after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) were evaluated. Symptom-limited treadmill exercise with thallium-201 myocardial single photon emission CT (SPECT) was performed at one and 13 weeks after PTCA in 15 patients with training and in 15 control patients without training who had no restenosis on repeat angiography. For quantitative analysis, counts for the regions of interest (ROI) were calculated in the hypoperfused area on the polar map. Percent T1 uptake was determined by dividing counts of the hypoperfused area by counts of a normal reference area on the initial image (%IU) and delayed image (%DU). The difference between %DU and %IU, defined as percent redistribution (%RD), was a parameter of residual ischemia in the hypoperfused area. %DU increased significantly in the trained group (65 +/- 11 to 73 +/- 9.3%, p < 0.01) and in the untrained group (66 +/- 14 to 70 +/- 15%, p < 0.05). %RD decreased significantly in the trained group (6.3 +/- 3.2 to 2.8 +/- 2.3%, p < 0.01); whereas, there was no significant change in the untrained group (6.1 +/- 2.8 to 5.2 +/- 3.8%). These findings suggest that, after successful PTCA, exercise training helps alleviate myocardial ischemia, probably by fostering the promoting effects which restore the hibernating myocardium.

RESUMO

Serum concentrations, urinary excretion and clinical responses of flomoxef (FMOX) were studied. The results are summarized as follows. 1. Serum concentrations of FMOX were 17.4 micrograms/ml 1-hour after intravenous injection on the average in 5 cases who received approximately 10 mg/kg, 41.8 micrograms/ml in 2 cases given 20 mg/kg, and 69.6 micrograms/ml in 2 cases given 40 mg/kg, indicating that serum concentrations of FMOX changed in a dose-dependent manner in this range. Average serum half-life (T 1/2) in 4 mature babies was 2.48 hours and that in 6 premature babies was 3.17 hours, indicating that elimination rates in premature cases tend to be slower than those in mature cases. Urinary recovery rates averaged 39.2% in the first 6 hours in 5 cases examined. 2. Five newborns or premature babies received FMOX 33.1-80.2 mg/kg (b.i.d. or t.i.d.) via intravenous route for 5 to 8 days. FMOX showed excellent or good clinical effectiveness in the treatment of all patients including 1 case each of sepsis with urinary infection, furunclal otitis, impetigo, uterogenic fetus infection and urinary infection. Bacteriological responses were also studied, and eradication of identified organisms (Escherichia coli 3 strains and Staphylococcus aureus 2 strains) was obtained upon the FMOX treatment, but in 1 strain of S. aureus showed only a decrease. No adverse reactions were observed in any cases, but a slight elevation of eosinophil was noted in 1 patient receiving a dose of 210 mg a day. From the results obtained in these tests, FMOX appears to be very usefull and safe for the treatment of some infectious diseases in neonates.
