Guiding the HBO1 complex function through the JADE subunit.

JADE is a core subunit of the HBO1 acetyltransferase complex that regulates developmental and epigenetic programs and promotes gene transcription. Here we describe the mechanism by which JADE facilitates recruitment of the HBO1 complex to chromatin and mediates its enzymatic activity. Structural, genomic and complex assembly in vivo studies show that the PZP (PHD1-zinc-knuckle-PHD2) domain of JADE engages the nucleosome through binding to histone H3 and DNA and is necessary for the association with chromatin targets. Recognition of unmethylated H3K4 by PZP directs enzymatic activity of the complex toward histone H4 acetylation, whereas H3K4 hypermethylation alters histone substrate selectivity. We demonstrate that PZP contributes to leukemogenesis, augmenting transforming activity of the NUP98-JADE2 fusion. Our findings highlight biological consequences and the impact of the intact JADE subunit on genomic recruitment, enzymatic function and pathological activity of the HBO1 complex.

The winged helix domain of MORF binds CpG islands and the TAZ2 domain of p300.

Acetylation of histones by lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) provides a fundamental mechanism by which chromatin structure and transcriptional programs are regulated. Here, we describe a dual binding activity of the first winged helix domain of human MORF KAT (MORFWH1) that recognizes the TAZ2 domain of p300 KAT (p300TAZ2) and CpG rich DNA sequences. Structural and biochemical studies identified distinct DNA and p300TAZ2 binding sites, allowing MORFWH1 to independently engage either ligand. Genomic data show that MORF/MOZWH1 colocalizes with H3K18ac, a product of enzymatic activity of p300, on CpG rich promoters of target genes. Our findings suggest a functional cooperation of MORF and p300 KATs in transcriptional regulation.

Extra Biliary Complications of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Experience from a Study of 1420 Cases.

To evaluate the extra biliary complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy and the outcome of management of those complications. This descriptive observational study was carried out at CMH Dhaka and CMH Jashore, Bangladesh from March 2016 to March 2022. A total of 1420 patients who underwent Laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in this study. Extra biliary complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy were divided into i) Access related ii) Intraoperative (procedure related) and iii) Postoperative complications. The incidence of access-related, intra-operative or procedure-related and postoperative complications was 2.88%, 4.91% and 1.82% respectively. Access related complications were extra-peritoneal insufflations 1.34%, port site bleeding 1.26%, small bowel laceration 0.21% and transverse colon injury 0.07%. Intraoperative or procedural extra biliary complications were liver injury 0.56%, duodenal perforation 0.07%, colon injury 0.07%, bleeding through cystic artery 0.49% and bleeding from gall bladder bed 1.12%. Postoperative complications were port site infection (PSI) 1.05%, port site hernia (PSH) 0.56%, major sepsis 0.14% and ischemic stroke 0.07%. Two of colonic injuries were the major complications encountered in this series, diagnosed during the procedure and converted to open procedure. Duodenal perforation encountered in one case during difficult dissection in the Callot's triangle, diagnosed during the procedure and managed laparoscopically by intra-corporeal suturing. No mortality reported in this series. Extra biliary complications are almost equally common as biliary complications in laparoscopic cholecystectomy and can be life-threatening. An early diagnosis and effective management of complications accordingly, are the utmost requirement for favorable outcome in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Functional outcome after nonoperative management of minimally displaced greater tuberosity fractures and predictors of poorer patient experience.

The outcomes following nonoperative management of minimally displaced greater tuberosity (GT) fractures, and the factors which influence patient experience, remain poorly defined. We assessed the early patient-derived outcomes following these injuries and examined the effect of a range of demographic- and injury-related variables on these outcomes. In total, 101 patients (53 female, 48 male) with a mean age of 50.9 years (19 to 76) with minimally displaced GT fractures were recruited to a prospective observational cohort study. During the first year after injury, patients underwent experiential assessment using the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score and assessment of associated injuries using MRI performed within two weeks of injury. The primary outcome was the one-year DASH score. Multivariate analysis was used to assess the effect of patient demographic factors, complications, and associated injuries, on outcome. The mean DASH score improved from 42.3 (SD 9.6) at six weeks post-injury, to 19.5 (SD 14.3) at one-year follow-up (p < 0.001), but outcomes were mixed, with 30 patients having a DASH score > 30 at one year. MRI revealed a range of associated injuries, with a full-thickness rotator cuff tear present in 19 patients (19%). Overall, 11 patients (11%) developed complications requiring further operative intervention; 20 patients (21%) developed post-traumatic secondary shoulder stiffness. Multivariate analysis revealed a high-energy mechanism (p = 0.009), tobacco consumption (p = 0.033), use of mobility aids (p = 0.047), a full-thickness rotator cuff tear (p = 0.002), and the development of post-traumatic secondary shoulder stiffness (p = 0.035) were independent predictors of poorer outcome. The results of nonoperative management of minimally displaced GT fractures are heterogeneous. While many patients have satisfactory early outcomes, a substantial subgroup fare much worse. There is a high prevalence of rotator cuff injuries and post-traumatic shoulder stiffness, and their presence is associated with poorer patient experience. Furthermore, patients who have a high-energy injury, smoke, or use walking aids, have worse outcomes.

MORF and MOZ acetyltransferases target unmethylated CpG islands through the winged helix domain.

Human acetyltransferases MOZ and MORF are implicated in chromosomal translocations associated with aggressive leukemias. Oncogenic translocations involve the far amino terminus of MOZ/MORF, the function of which remains unclear. Here, we identified and characterized two structured winged helix (WH) domains, WH1 and WH2, in MORF and MOZ. WHs bind DNA in a cooperative manner, with WH1 specifically recognizing unmethylated CpG sequences. Structural and genomic analyses show that the DNA binding function of WHs targets MORF/MOZ to gene promoters, stimulating transcription and H3K23 acetylation, and WH1 recruits oncogenic fusions to HOXA genes that trigger leukemogenesis. Cryo-EM, NMR, mass spectrometry and mutagenesis studies provide mechanistic insight into the DNA-binding mechanism, which includes the association of WH1 with the CpG-containing linker DNA and binding of WH2 to the dyad of the nucleosome. The discovery of WHs in MORF and MOZ and their DNA binding functions could open an avenue in developing therapeutics to treat diseases associated with aberrant MOZ/MORF acetyltransferase activities.

Preclinical study of vitamin D deficiency in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome in rats.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the impact of vitamin D deficiency (VD-) in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome (MetS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Models of (VD-) and (MetS) were induced in male Wister rats by dividing into four groups, group-I for the development of (VD-) by intraperitoneal injection of paricalcitol for 3 weeks, group II for (MetS) model by adding 10% fructose to their drinking water for 8 weeks, the group III for induction of combined (VD- + MetS) and group-IV as a control. Ultimately, the parameters of (VD-) and (MetS) were assessed at zero time and after 8 weeks. RESULTS: Both (VD-) and (MetS) groups alone displayed a remarkable enhancement of blood pressure, glucose and insulin levels, triglycerides, cholesterol, and low-density lipoproteins with a reduction of high-density lipoproteins. Additionally, all distinguishing features of obesity were substantially increased. Nevertheless, the combined group (VD-+MetS) demonstrated an expeditious and substantial increase in all the aforesaid parameters compared to the (VD-) and (MetS) groups alone. CONCLUSIONS: The hallmark of this study, reinforces a new frontier of awareness of the deleterious effect of (VD-) on each component of (MetS). Eventually, supplementation of vitamin D can circumvent the elements of (MetS) and needs further validation by determination of (VD-) molecular pathway on the parameters of (MetS).

Pharmacological basis of the putative therapeutic effect of Topical Vitamin D3 on the experimental model of atopic dermatitis in mice.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to explore the effect of topical vitamin D3 in atopic dermatitis (AD) induced by ovalbumin (OVA) in contrast with topical betamethasone in mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 35 BALB/c adult male mice, weighing between 25-30 gm were used to induce AD by topically sensitizing the dorsal surface of the skin with the OVA patch. Subsequently, treatments were performed in each group by application of vitamin D3 cream (0.0003%), betamethasone cream (0.1%), or vehicles (QV cream) on the skin. RESULTS: Remarkably, vitamin D3 had a marked improvement in the skin of OVA-induced AD mice. Additionally, vitamin D3 revealed a considerable diminution in the levels of IgE, IL-5, filaggrin, and epidermal thickness, whereas a significant augmentation in the levels of IL-4 and IL-13 was observed when compared with the control group, and histopathological studies had further confirmed these findings. CONCLUSIONS: This study essentially highlighted the anti-inflammatory effect of vitamin D3 by effective alteration in the immunological components responsible for AD. Moreover, this pioneer experimental work represents a new paradigm and sheds a light on the importance of vitamin D3 in the implications of AD. A comprehensive creative approach is crucial to concretely establish and further corroborate vitamin D3 for this therapeutic role.

Malignant Infantile Osteopetrosis with Bone Marrow Involvement.

Osteopetrosis (Marble bone disease) is a very rare congenital genetic disease of skeleton, resulting from defective bone resorption, due to functionally defective osteoclast, leading to accumulation of excessive bone mass. Malignant infantile osteopetrosis (MIO) is one of the varieties of osteopetrosis, which is fatal and is diagnosed in early infancy. Malignant infantile osteopetrosis is present with abnormal bone remodeling, hematological abnormities, features of extramedullary hematopoiesis. Radiology is the key of diagnosis. In this case, we present a 5-monthold male infant diagnosed as malignant infantile osteopetrosis, who presented with bronchopneumonia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly, failure to thrive (FTT).

Comparison between Lichtenstein And Laparoscopic Totally Extraperitonial (TEP) Tension Free Mesh Repair of Inguinal Hernia.

To compare the outcome of the laparoscopic totally extra peritoneal (Lap TEP) and open Lichtenstein tension free mesh repair (OLMR) of inguinal hernia. This study was conducted as a prospective comparative (Quasi experimental) study from January 2010 to December 2010 at Combined Military Hospital (CMH), Dhaka, Bangladesh. A total of 100 male patients aged 24 to 70 years who underwent laparoscopic totally extra-peritoneal (Lap TEP) and open Lichtenstein tension free mesh repair (OLMR) of inguinal hernia were included in this study. Data of operating time, intraoperative and short-term postoperative complications, postoperative pain, postoperative hospital stay and return to normal activity were recorded and analyzed with SPSS program. Mean age of the patients was 51.39±15.099 years in OLMR group (Group A) and 47.10±9.338 years in Lap TEP group (Group B). Mean operating time was longer in Laparoscopic TEP group (Group B, 57.67±6.915 minutes) then open Lichtenstein mesh repair group (Group A, 50.56±6.292 minutes). Patient in the Lap TEP group (Group B) experienced less post operative pain, less post operative complications, shorter hospital stay and early return to normal activity then OLMR group (Group A). One patient (3.33%) in group B needed conversion to open Lichtenstein method. Two (6.66%) patients developed pneumoperitoneum in Group B (Lap TEP repair). Superficial wound infection developed in five (7.14%) patients in OLMR group (Group A) and two (6.66%) patients in Lap TEP group (Group B). In Laparoscopic TEP group (Group B) and Lichtenstein group (Group A), patients return to normal activity within on an average 07 and 11 days respectively. Laparoscopic totally extra peritoneal (TEP) mesh repair technique was associated with less post operative pain, less post operative complications, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery with early return to normal activity compared with Lichtenstein tension free mesh repair of inguinal hernia.

Human-black bear conflict: crop raiding by Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan.

Asiatic black bear has long been in conflict with human beings crop raiding is a major cause of this conflict frequently noted in South Asia. Crops raided by black bears affected by temporal, spatial and anthropogenic attributes. Insight in this conflict and its mitigation is vital for the conservation of this threatened species. Present study aimed to evaluate crop raiding by black bears in the mountainous region of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Field surveys were carried out to observe spatial and temporal crop raiding features between 2015-2020 and data gathered using designed questionnaires randomly tailored in villages nearby the forests. Results revealed that maize was the sole crop raided by black bears. A total of 28-acre area was raided by black bear in the fall season (Aug-November) resulting in a damage of 51 metric tons, whole raiding was carried out at night. Each respondent received crop damage on 0.09 acre with a loss of 0.17 metric ton yield. Crop quantity and area were significantly correlated to each other. District Neelum shared 49% of the total crop loss, while 47% of the maize was raided at the altitudinal range of 2100-2500 m. crop raiding was highly significantly ( χ 2 = 1174.64 ; d f = 308 ;   p < 0.01 ) dependent upon distance to the forest. Linear regression revealed that maize quantity was determined by area, time and the total field area. Farmers faced 3.8 million PKRs loss due to crop damage by black bears. Despite the huge loss, the majority (23%) of the respondents did not respond to the query on mitigation measures indicating a poor adaptation of preventive measures. Preferred strategy to avoid crop damage was making noise (27.8%) when bears attacked their crops. A start of compensation scheme to the farmers is recommended that will have turned their negative attitude into a positive one toward the wildlife and black bear particularly. Study provides a new insight in human-bear conflict, particularly in spatial and temporal context of crop raiding in AJ&K.

The human-wildlife conflict in Musk Deer National Park, Neelum Gureze Valley, Azad Jammu & Kashmir, Pakistan.

Growing human population is a solemn risk to biodiversity at a global level. Massive anthropogenic pressure and invasion in the natural habitats initiated the human-wildlife conflict in rural areas. Present study aimed to assess human-wildlife conflict in Musk Deer National Park (MDNP) from 2013 to 2018. Results revealed an estimated 241784 nomadic and 5589 residential livestock heads grazed in different areas of MDNP during the summer season. A total of 126 heads were depredated by carnivores during the study period. Majority (n=39) of livestock heads were killed in May (n=29). Livestock depredation resulted in economic losses worth 3.115 million PKRs (25744 US$) to the herder community while farmers received 1.629 million PKRs (13466 US$) losses due to crop raiding. Most (64%) of the respondents believed human-wildlife conflict heightened due to scarcity of food or prey in the natural habitats of carnivores. Majority (92%) of the respondents did not like the presence of predators in MDNP. Loss compensation schemes could turn this negative attitude into the positive one and increase tolerance about the presence of carnivores in their vicinity. This study provides an insight into the human-wildlife conflict in MDNP and paves a way for understanding the conflict and conservation of carnivore species in the study area.

Predictors of Malignancy in Thyroid Nodules.

Thyroid swellings are common clinical problem throughout the world and also in Bangladesh. Most of thyroid swellings are multinodular, but a good percentage is solitary thyroid nodule. There is no robust, feasible method for malignancy differentiation has not been well established. The study evaluated thyroid nodules for risk of malignancy and compared history, clinical, sonographic features and FNAC findings with histopathology. This was a cross sectional study on 160 consecutive subjects of thyroid nodules done in the department of ENT and Head Neck Surgery of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH), Mymensingh, Bangladesh during from July 2018 to December 2019. All patients were admitted and diagnosed by detail history, clinical examination, investigations and underwent thyroidectomy. Detailed history, clinical examination, ultrasonographic finding and FNAC variables were documented retrospectively and a mathematical model was established for malignancy prediction. In this study mean age of the patients of thyroid nodules was 37.54±11.49 years and majority of the patients were within 21-40 years of age. Frequency of thyroid nodules is more in female with male female ratio 1:7. Most of the thyroid nodules appeared in this study within 0-2 years (61.9%). In this series of thyroid nodules constituted 88.1% firm, 8.8% hard, 3.1% cystic. Among the patients 89(55.6%) cases have solitary thyroid nodule and 71(44.4%) cases have multinodular goitre Majority of the nodules were warm 57.5% followed by cold 42.5%. FNAC showed nodular goitre 72.5%, Follicular neoplasm 1.3%, Papillary carcinoma of thyroid 7.5%, colloid goitre 9.4%, suspicious papillary carcinoma 3.8% and lymphocytic thyroiditis 1.3%. In this study out of 85 solid nodule, 69(81.18%) were benign and 16(18.82%) was malignant and out of 3 cystic nodule 3(100%) were benign. In this study most of the benign and malignant nodules were predominantly solid. Study showed the malignancy is significantly (p=0.001) more in solid than cystic nodules. Final diagnosis in this study was done on the basis of histopathological reports. Out of 160 patients, histopathologically benign lesion was 120(75%) and malignant was 40(25%). Among malignant cases 36(22.5%) cases were papillary carcinoma, 1 case was medullary carcinoma and 3 cases were follicular carcinoma.

Efficacy of Clotrimazole 1% Solution Compared to Econazole Nitrate 1% + Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1% Cream in Patient with Otomycosis.

Fungal infection of the ear canal is called Otomycosis. It is more common in hot and humid condition. There are many modalities of treatment or therapeutic agent for treatment of otomycosis. Econazole Nitrate 1% + Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1% cream is a topical antifungal agent described to be effective in the treatment of otomycosis. This study was performed to compare the efficacy of topical application clotrimazole 1% solution and Econazole Nitrate 1% + Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1% cream in the treatment of otomycosis. A controlled, randomized and open clinical trial was carried out in ENT department of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from January 2020 to July 2020. Patients diagnosed with fungal otitis externa who were treated with topical antifungals were included in this study. They were randomized into two treatment groups: i) Clotrimazole 1% solution, 2) Econazole Nitrate 1% + Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1% cream. Patients were microscopically evaluated at two weeks of treatment to determine resolution of disease. Recurrence and complications were recorded. Demographic and clinical variables were collected and analyzed, follow up and final outcomes (absence of infection) were compared between two groups. One hundred & two (102) patients were included, 51 in the clotrimazole 1% solution group and 51 in the Econazole Nitrate 1% + Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1% cream group. Predominant symptoms are pain, pruritus, aural fullness and hearing loss. Aspergillus organism was isolated most frequently (63.73%). Treatment with clotrimazole 1% solution groups resulted in 88.23% resolution vs. 80.39% resolution with Econazole Nitrate 1% + Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1% cream at 2 weeks of treatment. Econazole Nitrate 1% + Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1% cream group demonstrated higher treatment failure 11.76 and 19.60 respectively. Clotrimazole 1% solution is more effective than Econazole Nitrate 1% + Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1% cream for uncomplicated otomycosis. More study is needed to corroborate our results.

The role of the PZP domain of AF10 in acute leukemia driven by AF10 translocations.

Chromosomal translocations of the AF10 (or MLLT10) gene are frequently found in acute leukemias. Here, we show that the PZP domain of AF10 (AF10PZP), which is consistently impaired or deleted in leukemogenic AF10 translocations, plays a critical role in blocking malignant transformation. Incorporation of functional AF10PZP into the leukemogenic CALM-AF10 fusion prevents the transforming activity of the fusion in bone marrow-derived hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in vitro and in vivo and abrogates CALM-AF10-mediated leukemogenesis in vivo. Crystallographic, biochemical and mutagenesis studies reveal that AF10PZP binds to the nucleosome core particle through multivalent contacts with the histone H3 tail and DNA and associates with chromatin in cells, colocalizing with active methylation marks and discriminating against the repressive H3K27me3 mark. AF10PZP promotes nuclear localization of CALM-AF10 and is required for association with chromatin. Our data indicate that the disruption of AF10PZP function in the CALM-AF10 fusion directly leads to transformation, whereas the inclusion of AF10PZP downregulates Hoxa genes and reverses cellular transformation. Our findings highlight the molecular mechanism by which AF10 targets chromatin and suggest a model for the AF10PZP-dependent CALM-AF10-mediated leukemogenesis.

Structural and biophysical characterization of the nucleosome-binding PZP domain.

The core subunit of the MORF acetyltransferase complex BRPF1 contains a unique combination of zinc fingers, including a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger followed by a zinc knuckle and another PHD finger, which together form a PZP domain (BRPF1PZP). BRPF1PZP has been shown to bind to the nucleosome and make contacts with both histone H3 tail and DNA. Here, we describe biophysical and structural methods for characterization of the interactions between BRPF1PZP, H3 tail, DNA, and the intact nucleosome. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Klein et al. (2020).

Midterm clinical and radiologic survivorship of a stemless total shoulder arthroplasty.

AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes of stemless total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) in patients with glenohumeral arthritis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective case series of all patients who underwent a TSA with Affinis Short prosthesis during the period 2010-2017. Seventy-two TSAs were performed within our unit, in 62 patients (45 females and 17 males), with 10 patients having bilateral TSAs with this prosthesis. The mean follow-up was 3.9 years (2-8.7 years). Patients were evaluated clinically with the Oxford Shoulder Score, range of movement assessment, and a numerical patient satisfaction score. Follow-up radiographs were evaluated by 2 reviewers assessing for lucency and assigned a Lazarus grade. RESULTS: Six patients were lost to follow-up prior to their 2-year review. At last follow-up, the mean forward elevation was 157° (80°-180°), abduction was 150° (60°-180°), and external rotation was 39° (20°-60°). The mode internal rotation was to the lumbar spine, with 95% of patients achieving internal rotation to L5 or higher. The mean Oxford Shoulder Score was 45 (18-48). The mean patient satisfaction score was 4.93/5. No humeral lucencies were observed. Sixty-four percent (n=47) of the glenoids were Lazarus grade 0, showing no evidence of radiolucency. The remaining patients were Lazarus grade 1-3, although none were progressive and all patients were asymptomatic. No patients were revised for aseptic loosening. Four patients underwent revision: 1 for infection, 1 for heterotrophic ossification and stiffness, and 2 for rotator cuff failure. CONCLUSION: Midterm follow-up results indicate good clinical and radiologic survivorship for this stemless TSA. Our findings suggest good patient function and satisfaction, and no patients have required revision for aseptic loosening. Further follow-up is required to determine long-term survivorship.

Comparison between Efficacy of Combined Use of Hyaluronidise and Triamcinolone versus Hyaluronidise, Triamcinolone Acetonide and Oral Colchicine in the Treatment of Oral Submucous Fibrosis.

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic complex potentially pre-malignant condition caused by chewing areca nut and other irritants. It is an insidious process characterized by Juxta-epithelial deposition of fibrous tissue in the oral cavity and pharynx. OSF is very common in Southeast Asia and also now a days increase in Europe and North America. The aim of this study to compare the effectiveness of intralesional injection of triamcinolone and hyalurunidase versus intralesional injection of triamcinolone plus injection hyalurunidase with oral colchicine. The study included 60 patients of clinically diagnosed case of oral submucous fibrosis. Patients were divided into two Groups A and B. Group A patients received combination intralesionsl injection of triamcinolone acetonide 10mg/ml in 1ml with injection hyalurunidase 1500IU in 2ml with injection 2% lidocaine 7ml. 15 days interval in 3 months and Group B received intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide 10mg/ml in 1ml with injection hyalurunidase 1500IU in 2ml with injection 2% lidocaine 7ml in each 15 days interval for 3 months with oral colchicine 0.5mg twice daily for 3 months. Diagnosis based on burning sensation of mouth, blanching of mucosa, ulceration in oral cavity and also reduced mouth opening. Follow up assessment was done at intervals 1st follow up on 21st days after starting of treatment then 2nd follow up after 3 months and last 3rd follow up after 6 months. Before starting of treatment all patients were properly explained about the study and took their written consent. Much more improvement occurred in Group B patients, reducing in burning sensation and also increases in opening of mouth. In both groups blanching mucosae were improved. Treatment regimen of Group B is more effective in increasing mouth opening and improves burning sensation of oral cavity. No side effects were seen in both groups' patients.

Cartilage Ossiculoplasty from Stapes to Tympanic Membrane in One-Stage Intact Canal Wall Tympanoplasty for Cholesteatoma.

This prospective study was conducted at Department of ENT, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, a tertiary care center in Bangladesh January 2017 to December 2018 to report hearing results and post operative complications of cartilage interposition ossiculoplasty in one-stage intact canal wall (ICW) tympanoplasty for cholesteatoma where ossicular chain is eroded or has to be removed either partially or totally. Total 42 patients underwent Intact canal wall (ICW) tympanoplasty for cholesteatoma with at least intact stapes footplate and in conjunction, cartilage ossiculoplasty was done during the same procedure. Patients were followed up regularly at 1 week, 1 month, 3 month, 6 month and at 1 year as usual follow up protocol to note complications and hearing status in 1 year follow up. In intact stapes suprastructure group, in the preoperative period, the mean air conduction thresholds (AC), bone conduction threshold (BC) and air-bone gap (ABG) were 48.3db, 9.5db and 38.8db respectively. Postoperatively, with a mean follow-up of 12 months, AC, BC and ABG were 27.6db, 9.7db and 17.9db respectively. In missing stapes supra structuregroup, in the preoperative period, the mean air conduction thresholds (AC), Bone conduction threshold (BC) and air-bone gap (ABG) were 57.4db 13.5db and 43.9db respectively. Postoperatively, with a mean follow-up of 12 months, AC, BC and ABG, were 33.9db, 14.2db and 19.7db respectively. For management of cholesteatoma cases, cartilage ossiculoplasty can be done effectively in conjunction with of intact canal wall tympanoplasty in a single setting. Complications are a few and easily manageable. Hearing results are at least as good as with other prosthesis and helps in avoiding subsequent surgery, discomfort and cost to the patients.
