The rabbits were randomly divided into three groups (n=8) as the control group (group A) and two experimental groups (groups B and C). Defects of cylindrical full-thickness (3.5 mm wide, 4 mm deep) were created in the weight-bearing area of the right knee medial femoral condyles. In group A, the defect was left empty. In group B, the defect was filled with a collagen sponge. In group C, the defect was filled with a collagen sponge impregnated with PDGF. All rabbits were followed-up for 12 weeks. Right knee medial femoral condyles were used for macroscopic and histological analyses.Results: At macroscopic level, the repair tissue was similar to normal adjacent cartilage at 12 weeks in group C. The surface of the repair tissue in group C was smoother and more regular compared to groups A and B. The total histological score of defects in group C was statistically significantly superior compared to groups A and B (p<0.05). Matrix staining and immunostaining of collagen type 2 were stronger in group C compared to the other groups, indicating the presence of a tissue similar to a normal cartilage.Conclusion: Platelet-derived growth factor can induce repair in full-thickness defects of articular cartilage in an animal model. Thus, this study demonstrates the potential use of PDGF for full-thickness osteochondral defects.","PeriodicalId":50551,"journal":{"name":"Eklem Hastaliklari Ve Cerrahisi-Joint Diseases and Related Surgery","volume":"30 2","pages":"91-6"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37414007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We measured total thiol (total-SH) levels to determine the status of the non-enzymatic antioxidant defense system and advanced oxidation protein product (AOPP) levels to determine levels of oxidative protein modification in pulley tissues of trigger finger patients with or without diabetes. Extracellular matrix degradation was assessed by measuring levels of sialic acid (SA) in the pulley tissue.Results: Total-SH values for the groups with and without diabetes were 22.7±1.6 vs. 38.9±5.2 nmol/mg protein, respectively, while AOPP values were 472.5±131.6 vs.175.6±9.9 mmol/g protein, respectively.

Suprapatellar IMN surgeries were performed by two surgeons. After a minimum of 12 months of follow-up, patients' genders, ages, limb sides, fracture types, and classifications were recorded. Fracture reduction accuracy, angulation, PF arthritis, healing time, complications, and nonunions were analyzed. Anterior knee pain, visual analog scale (VAS), and Lysholm knee scoring scale were used as clinical measurements.Results: Seventeen fractures were in the proximal third, while 22 were in the middle third and 19 were in the distal third of the tibia. The mean healing time was 7.14 months (range, 4 to 13 months); differences in healing time between fracture locations were not statistically significant (p=0.83).

Group A's mean duration of operation was shorter than group B (p=0.03); however, this condition was attributed to larger and more complex lesions of patients who underwent embolization. According to CT classification, blood loss was more and duration of operation was longer in severe stages (p=0.046 and p=0.035, respectively).Conclusion: Successful demonstration of vascular network in patients with PT strengthens the idea that SAE technique may be used particularly in severe cases according to CT classification.

Patients with an acetabular index (AI) measurement of 30° and over who used full-time hip abduction brace for six months were included in the study. Acetabular index values were measured at the initiation, third, and sixth months of treatment and the effectiveness of abduction orthosis was evaluated. The patients were analyzed for the effect of prior Pavlik harness application on abduction orthosis treatment.Results: Mean AI value of the dysplastic hips (n=119) was 33.4°±2.6°, which decreased to 28.5°±2.6° after treatment (p<0.001). The AI improvement in the first three-month period was significantly faster than the second three-month period (2.9°±1.9° vs. 1.9°±1°; p=0.013). No difference was observed in AI development between patients with or without prior Pavlik treatment (p=0.1). In patients with unilateral dysplasia, dysplastic hips improved significantly faster than normal hips (p<0.001). As a result of a mean follow-up duration of 20.2±9.8 months from the onset of brace treatment, 32 (32%) hips were grouped as normal, 49 (48%) as mildly dysplastic, and 22 (20%) as severely dysplastic based on Tönnis criteria.Conclusion: Hip abduction orthosis may be used in patients with RAD between 6 to 12 months of age.
