Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare treatment duration in skeletal Class III malocclusion patients managed with a 2-step treatment (surgery-first approach, SFA) and conventional 3-step treatment, and to compare stability of surgical outcomes between segmentation and non-segmentation in the 2-step treatment group. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION The sample population consisted of 37 patients who completed orthognathic surgery (OGS) and orthodontic correction at the Charm Aesthetic Surgery Clinic (Taipei, Taiwan) between 2012 and 2015. Of these, 26 received 2-step treatment and 11 received 3-step treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS To compare treatment efficiency and stability, three time points were analysed: T0 , before treatment (before OGS in the 2-step group and before orthodontic treatment in the 3-step group); T1 , after OGS but before orthodontic correction (cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was obtained within 2 weeks of OGS); and T2 , after orthodontic correction (CBCT was obtained on the day of bracket removal). The post-OGS (T1 ) CBCT items were individually superimposed on the pre-treatment (T0 ) CBCT items to determine the distance of B point migration. RESULTS A significant difference was found in treatment times between 2-step treatment and conventional 3-step treatment. In addition, no significant difference was found when comparing B-X (mm) and B-Y (mm) at T2 -T1 for the segmentation and non-segmentation groups. CONCLUSIONS Using SFA for skeletal Class III malocclusions saves approximately 6 months of treatment time over 3-step treatment; the stability of the segmentation group was comparable to that of the non-segmentation group, a result that is possibly associated with the fixation of 2 miniplates.

Abstract
In 2013, the Government of Haiti implemented its first oral cholera vaccine (OCV) campaign in Petite Anse, an urban setting, and Cerca Carvajal, a rural commune. We conducted and compared responses to two independent cross-sectional knowledge and practices household surveys pre- (N = 297) and post- (N = 302) OCV campaign in Petite Anse. No significant differences in knowledge about causes, symptoms, and prevention of cholera were noted. Compared with precampaign respondents, fewer postcampaign respondents reported treating (66% versus 27%, P < 0.001) and covering (96% versus 89%, P = 0.02) their drinking water. Compared with precampaign, postcampaign survey household observations showed increased availability of soap (16.2% versus 34.5%, P = 0.001) and handwashing stations (14.7% versus 30.1%, P = 0.01), but no significant changes in handwashing practices were reported. Although there was no change in knowledge, significant decreases in water treatment practices necessary for cholera and other diarrheal diseases prevention were noted in the postcampaign survey. Future OCV campaigns in Haiti should be used as an opportunity to emphasize the importance of maintaining good water, sanitation, and hygiene practices, and include a comprehensive, integrated approach for cholera control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonunion frequently follows distal clavicle fracture. Traditional pinning methods using the through acromioclavicular articulation may result in osteoarthritic changes or ankylosis. This study introduces a direct pinning technique in which the acromioclavicular joint is spared. METHODS Twelve patients with displaced distal clavicle fractures received open reduction and fixation with Kirschner wires (K-wires) and tension-band wires, from May 1996 to March 1997. The indication for surgery was type IIa fracture or fracture with displacement. Unrestricted passive and active range of motion was performed as soon as possible after the operation. Stretching and exertional exercises were permitted after radiographs showed an osseous union and after the implants were removed. RESULTS Eleven patients achieved osseous union with painless full motion. Union time ranged from 3 to 6 months. One patient suffered from more comminuted fracture because of a fall 2 months after operation. This patient received a revision surgery with distal clavicle resection and coracoclavicle reconstruction. Symptomless ossification around the coracoclavicle ligament was noted on radiographs in one patient. The ossification did not progress after the 9-month follow-up. CONCLUSION Edwards reported a rate of 45% delayed union and 30% nonunion in type II fractures. Several techniques had been described in the relevant literature. In our practice, fixation with Kirschner wires and tension-band wires has been successful in the treatment for displaced distal clavicle fracture.

Abstract
We analyzed our clinical results in 48 patients (40 men) treated during 1990-1993 with free vascularized bone-graft reconstruction for bone defects, the follow-up being an average 6 (5-8) years. The bone defects were located in the femur (10), tibia (32), humerus (2), and forearm (4). We performed 41 fibula transfers, 4 iliac transfers, and 3 rib transfers in these patients. 3 patients required early revision surgery due to venous thrombosis. The average time needed for radiographic bone union was 4.2 months. Bone transfers to the lower extremity showed significantly more hypertrophy than those in the upper extremity. The functional outcome was good in 43 patients.

Abstract
The mechanism underlying chronic destructive arthropathy after pyogenic arthritis is not clear. This study evaluated the role of apoptosis in Staphylococcus aureus infected human articular chondrocytes and investigated the signal transduction pathways activated by bacterial infection. Chondrocytes cultured in monolayer were challenged with bacteria for 6 h and were analyzed after incubation for 2, 18, and 24 h. Chondrocytes showed morphologic and biochemical evidences of apoptosis after infection and the following incubation period. Although treatment with extensive washing and vancomycin could ameliorate the amount of apoptosis from 31% to 15% at 2 h, from 48% to 23% at 18 h, and from 58% to 33% at 24 h, the infected samples with treatment still had higher amount of apoptosis than the un-infected controls (ANOVA P < 0.001). Accompanying with the increasing amount of apoptosis, the caspase activity was upregulated in bacteria infected samples and remained high in samples with treatment (ANOVA P < 0.05). Signal transduction pathways activated by bacterial infection were assessed by co-transfection technique. After infection, the c-Jun N-terminal kinase, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activities were elevated by 7.6-, 7.3-, and 3.2-fold, respectively, compared to the uninfected controls. The data support the hypothesis that human chondrocytes will undergo apoptosis after infection by a single organism. Apoptosis and activated intracellular kinase activities may be related to the pathogenesis of post-infectious destructive arthropathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nontraumatic avascular necrosis of the femoral head is a common disorder causing disability of the hip joint. The methods for optimally treating this disease in active young patients are still controversial. In this study we investigated the surgical outcome of vascularized pedicle iliac bone grafting for treating nontraumatic avascular necrosis of the femoral head. METHODS Between 1994 and 1999, we treated 100 cases of avascular necrosis of the femoral head with vascularized pedicle iliac bone grafting. Thirty-nine hips in 33 patients were followed-up longer than 24 months. These patients included 30 men and 3 women, with an average age of 40 years. Steinberg's classification and Ohzono's types were used to categorize the diseased hips. The clinical results were evaluated using Charnley's modification of Merle d'Aubigne and Postel's numeric classification. RESULTS Of the 33 patients, 82% were satisfied with their decision to have vascularized pedicle iliac bone grafting for avascular necrosis of the femoral head. No serious complications arose during this study. The average operation time for vascularized pedicle iliac bone grafting was 3.5 hours for one team. The rate of conversion to replacement arthroplasty was 10.3% (4 of 39 patients). CONCLUSION Vascularized pedicle iliac bone grafting is a useful alternative treatment option for patients with avascular necrosis of the femoral head.

Abstract
Compartment syndromes occurring in the forearm and leg are not infrequent. However, reports of compartment syndrome of the upper arm are conspicuously rare. Inferior dislocation of the shoulder combined with compartment syndrome has rarely been reported in the literature. We report our experience with a patient with inferior dislocation of the glenohumeral joint combined with compartment syndrome of the upper arm. A 29-year-old man had traumatic inferior dislocation of the glenohumeral joint combined with severe swelling of the shoulder and upper arm. After close reduction, the shoulder and upper arm were still tensely swollen. Compartment pressure of the upper arm was measured using a digital manometer (Quick Pressure Monitor 295-1, Stryker) and remained very high, thus, fasciotomy was performed. After debridement and skin graft, the arm healed without sequelae. When a patient has a fracture dislocation of the shoulder joint associated with a swollen arm, compartment syndrome of the upper arm should be included as a differential diagnosis. Detecting the compartment pressure can confirm the diagnosis of compartment syndrome objectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Refractory osteomyelitis is a serious disease that fails to respond to aggressive medical and surgical treatment. A plethora of alternative therapies have evolved. Hyperbaric oxygen has been proven to enhance bone and soft tissue healing in many in vitro and in vivo studies. This article presents the preliminary results of adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy in patients with refractory osteomyelitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen patients who were diagnosed with refractory tibia osteomyelitis were treated prospectively with adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy, aggressive surgical debridement, and parenteral antibiotic treatment. The effectiveness was evaluated with an average follow-up of 17.2 months. RESULTS The hyperbaric oxygen therapy averaged 26 daily sessions. Successful treatment was achieved in 13 patients (86%). The mean length of treatment was 45 days. The preliminary results are comparable with other series. CONCLUSION Hyperbaric oxygen is effective as an adjunct to aggressive medical and surgical management in refractory osteomyelitis. A precise clinical staging system for patient selection and treatment organization is imperative to successful outcome.

Abstract
Binding proteins in neuronal membranes for a phospholipase A2 with presynaptic neurotoxicity have been purified. Three polypeptides of 87, 65, and 50 K Da were obtained from the synaptic membrane fraction of guinea pig brain utilizing an immobilized crotoxin (a phospholipase A2) column. For large scale purification, porcine brain was used instead, and two polypeptides of 50 and 18 K Da were found. The 65 and 18 K polypeptides may represent hitherto unidentified components of the crotoxin-binding proteins. Partial N-terminal amino acid sequence and a partial sequence for an internal peptide fragment have been determined for the 50 K polypeptide. Search of protein data bank reveals that this polypeptide or protein is a novel member of the reticulocalbin family of calcium-binding proteins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat diabetic foot lesions has been approved for insurance reimbursement in Taiwan, its clinical application has not yet been well accepted. This study evaluated multiple healing predictive factors in patients with diabetic foot infections to determine the usefulness of adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of such patients. METHODS From March 1995 to May 1996, we treated 31 diabetic patients presenting with infected foot lesions with a regimen of adequate metabolic control, frequent wound debridement and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Age, gender, leukocyte count, total lymphocyte count, hemoglobin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), c-reactive protein (CRP), glycosylated hemoglobin Alc (HbAlc), albumin, ankle-brachial index, types of bacterial cultures and number of debridements were compared between successful and failed treatments. Independent t-test and Fisher's exact test were used to identify the prognostic factors associated with outcome of treatment. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 63.0 +/- 9.7 years (range 43 to 81). The mean number of hyperbaric oxygen therapies was 35.3 +/- 21.8 treatments (range 5 to 83). Of the 31 patients, 6 received below knee amputation, and 25 had their foot preserved or achieved a lower level of amputation. Elevated leukocyte count and low ankle-brachial index were significantly related to poor outcome. CONCLUSIONS In the treatment of diabetic foot infection, adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy seems to be a useful tool to enhance wound healing provided that there are preserved circulation and controlled infection.

Abstract
8-Amino-9-benzylguanine (8-ABG), a potent purine nucleoside phosphorylase inhibitor, was administered to dogs for 10 days following single renal transplantation. A significant prolongation of graft survival was observed in the groups treated with 100 and 150 mg kg/day of 8-ABG per os compared with the control group that was not treated with any immunosuppressant. Expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigens (Ag) was investigated in the normal kidney(s) and renal allografts of mongrel dogs after single renal transplantation. The 8-ABG was administered to the normal and renal allografted dogs and no detectable MHC class II Ag in the normal kidneys was found. During acute rejection, the MHC class II Ag was expressed on the renal tubular epithelium and glomerular vascular endothelium in graft kidneys. The intensity of the MHC class II Ag expression was correlated to the severity of rejection. This abnormal expression of MHC class II Ag on allograft kidney was suppressed by 8-ABG treatment. Our results suggest that MHC class II Ag expression can be induced on the renal allografts during acute rejection. This abnormal expression of MHC class II Ag may serve as a specific index for diagnosis of kidney allograft rejection. That 8-ABG can suppress abnormal expression of MHC class Ag on allografted kidney and prolong graft survival indicates that 8-ABG may provide an alternative approach for the development of a potential new immunosuppressant.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common tumor of the kidney. Angiomyolipoma is frequently present in the patient who has the stigma of tuberous sclerosis. We reported a case of a 39-year-old female, without the stigma of tuberous sclerosis, who was admitted on account of a firm, huge, fixed and palpable mass over the left flank region for one week. After radical nephrectomy, the pathological report was renal cell carcinoma, granular cell type, associated with angiomyolipoma. The literature concerning this unusual case is reviewed.
