Abstract
INTRODUCTION Open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) is the standard and safe procedure for medial compartment osteoarthritis. Although hardware removal (HWR) is performed after post-OWHTO bone union, the effects of HWR on OWHTO have been rarely reported. We hypothesised that HWR would improve range of motion (ROM) and implant-related complications. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the effects of HWR on postoperative ROM, the Japan Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score/visual analogue scale (VAS) score and hardware-related complications after OWHTO. METHODS Patients who underwent OWHTO between January 2016 and June 2018 and HWR were retrospectively reviewed. To perform OWHTO, locking plates and prosthetic bone were used to achieve optimal stabilisation of biplanar osteotomy. HWR was performed after a second-look arthroscopy through the previous skin incision. For clinical evaluation, the JOA score, VAS score, and ROM were assessed before and 1 year after HWR using the Wilcoxon rank test. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the predictors of post-HWR improvement. RESULTS Of 98 knees examined (91 patients), 80 (73 patients; 39 men and 34 women) were included. At the time of OWHTO, mean age was 64.0 ± 9.7 years and body mass index, 25.5 ± 3.1 kg/m2; Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade 1 was seen in 20 cases, KL-2 in 46, and KL-3 in 14. Mean periods between OWHTO and HWR were 13.4 ± 2.0 months, and 11.9 ± 1.2 months between HWR and evaluation. The JOA score and flexion angle significantly improved after HWR (The JOA score: p = 0.026 flexion angle: p < 0.001); however, the VAS score and extension angle did not (VAS score: p = 0.162, extension angle: p = 0.934). Hardware irritation was observed in four cases (5%), which improved after HWR. Logistic regression analysis revealed that lower preoperative KL grade and flexion angle were predictors of improvement after HWR [KL grade: p = 0.008; odds ratio 3.244, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.350-7.794; flexion angle: p < 0.001; odds ratio 1.150, 95% CI 1.062-1.245]. CONCLUSION HWR improves flexion angle, clinical outcomes and hardware-related complications after OWHTO. Preoperative KL grade and flexion angle are predictors of improvement after HWR in patients who have undergone OWHTO.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the mid-term results of medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) based on Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grades. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated clinical and radiographic outcomes of 93 patients (mean age 61.4 years, mean follow-up 64.2 months, 109 consecutive knees) who underwent OWHTO for medial compartment osteoarthritis (OA). KL grade was used to evaluate knee OA (KL-1 22 cases; KL-2, 51 cases; KL-3, 36 cases). The clinical outcomes were assessed using Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) and Lysholm scores. Radiographic outcomes were assessed using pre- and post-operative mechanical axis percentage, femorotibial angle, medial proximal tibial angle, and joint line convergence angle. Hinge fracture frequency and OA progression were also evaluated based on KL grades. RESULTS The JOA score improved significantly from 70.3 ± 14.9 to 96.2 ± 4.4, 64.1 ± 12.5 to 95.1 ± 5.1, and 68.6 ± 11.4 to 92.1 ± 6.1 in the KL-1, KL-2, and KL-3 groups, respectively. The JOA score in the KL-3 group was significantly lower than in the other groups. The Lysholm score improved significantly from 62.6 ± 8.8 to 97.7 ± 4.7, 62.1 ± 8.1 to 96.7 ± 4.2, and 59.2 ± 9.2 to 95.8 ± 4.6 in the KL-1, KL-2, and KL-3 groups, respectively. The post-operative Lysholm scores were not significantly different among the groups. There were significant differences in radiographic parameters pre-operatively, but not post-operatively, among the groups. Although there were no significant differences in hinge fracture frequency and OA progression, the KL-3 grade predicted OA progression on multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS Mid-term results of OWHTO significantly improved. However, clinical score in the KL-3 group was lower than that in the KL-1 and KL-2 groups; radiological OA progression was a risk factor in KL-3.

Abstract
Background Teenage pregnancy is considered a high-risk pregnancy in terms of reproductive outcome and the subsequent financial constraint. Objective To assess the prevalence of teenage pregnancy, associated risk factors, and outcomes in the context of Nepal. Method We searched electronic databases to search relevant articles published from January 2000 till October 2020 using the keywords with appropriate Boolean operators. All the data were extracted into a standardized form designed in Excel. We conducted a statistical analysis using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software (CMA) version 3. Data pooled for proportion with 95% confidence interval (CI). A Forest plot was used to visualize the degree of variation between studies. Result Fourteen studies were included in the analysis after the rigorous screening of 4425 studies. Prevalence of teenage pregnancy was 13.2% (Proportion, 0.132; CI, 0.077- 0.215). Among teenage pregnancies, 11.8% were already multigravida (Proportion, 0.118; CI, 0.029-0.374). Among teen pregnancies, 18.6% were illiterate; among the literate, only 25.9% were of education above grade 10,31.9% were unaware of contraceptive methods, and only 3.2% reported using any contraception methods. 75.4% of teenage pregnancies had a vaginal delivery with or without episiotomy, 6.5% by instrumental deliveries, and 21.5% by cesarean section. Preterm delivery was 12.0%, and post-term delivery was 8.2%. Abortion was reported in 11.1% of teenage pregnancies. Major tears were reported in 52.9%, obstructed labor was in 4%, and pre-labor rupture of the membrane was in 7.0% of teenage pregnancies. The low birth weight of newborns was 19.4%. Stillbirth and neonatal deaths were 1.7% and 1.4%, respectively. Conclusion The prevalence of teenage pregnancy in Nepal was 13.2%. The majority of them did not use any form of contraceptives; and had low education. Several maternal and neonatal complications were reported among teenage pregnancies.

Abstract
Patellar tendon ruptures are severe but uncommon injuries that require surgical treatment. Primary repair for acute patellar tendon ruptures using augmentation techniques has shown good results in terms of biomechanical and clinical outcomes. This Technical Note details patellar tendon repair with suture tape augmentation for proximal patellar tendon rupture. Because this surgical technique does not require harvesting of the hamstring tendon and hardware removal, it is minimally invasive. In addition, it is simple and quick to perform.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate preoperative sports participation and postoperative clinical outcomes including a return to sports (RTS) after hybrid closed-wedge high tibial osteotomy (CWHTO) for medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee. Characteristic of Hybrid CWHTO was defined as extra-articular lateral closed and medial open wedge osteotomy. METHODS The patients who underwent hybrid CWHTO from January 2016 to December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed and divided them into sports and non-sports groups. The preoperative demographic and radiographic characteristics were compared in both groups. And the clinical outcomes including the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, visual analogue scale (VAS), Lysholm score, University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score, and RTS in the sports group were also investigated. Statistical analysis was performed for comparisons among the preoperative factors between the two groups. Influence of sports impact and bone union of fibular osteotomy was also statistically investigated for RTS. RESULTS Of the 161 knees (129 patients; 46 males, 83 females), 20 knees (16 patients; 13 males, 3 females; 12.3%) belonged to sports group. Although there were no significant differences regarding the age and radiographic parameters, there were significant differences in the body mass index and proportion of males between both groups. The JOA, VAS, Lysholm, and UCLA activity scores significantly improved after surgery. RTS was 80% at a mean duration of 7.2 ± 3.1 months. RTS in the high-impact sports group was significantly lower than that in the low-impact sports group (high-impact 60% vs. low-impact 100%, p = 0.043). There was no significant difference in RTS regarding bone union after fibular osteotomy. CONCLUSION The clinical outcomes including RTS were satisfactory in patients with hybrid CWHTO.

Abstract
A medial collateral ligament (MCL) tear is common in cases of isolated injury or in those combined with anterior cruciate ligament injury. Although conservative treatment for an MCL tear is popular, some cases result in residual instability. Thus, the treatment approach of grade III MCL injury remains controversial. In this Technical Note, we present the technique of arthroscopic primary MCL repair with suture anchor. With this technique, proximal MCL injuries can be repaired with minimal invasion. This technique improves valgus stability and enables early rehabilitation, including range of motion and weight-bearing exercise.

Abstract
Medial open- and lateral closed-wedge high tibial osteotomy (hybrid CWHTO) can overcome the limitations of conventional CWHTO and open-wedge HTO (OWHTO) for medial compartmental osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Hybrid CWHTO increases stability by using a rigid locking plate and allows early full weight-bearing. However, the literature contains no information about time to bone union after this new procedure. The aim of this study is to evaluate the time to bone union after hybrid CWHTO. We reviewed 44 knees treated with hybrid CWHTO. Patients were able to stand on both legs on the day after surgery and walked with full weight-bearing within 4 weeks of the procedure. The time to achievement of bone union at the osteotomy site was defined as the number of months until bone union was confirmed on radiographic imaging. The mean time to radiographic confirmation of bone union was 4.5±1.5 months after surgery. Eleven knees (25.0%) required 6 months or more. Radiographic analysis and JOA score improved significantly between before and 1 year after surgery (p<0.01). Hybrid CWHTO is a very useful method for treating medial OA, but radiographic bone union requires 4.5 months on average. We must be aware of bone union after hybrid CWHTO.

Abstract
High tibial osteotomy (HTO) procedure is generally contraindicated in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients because synovial inflammation may exacerbate joint damage post-surgery. The natural course of joint destruction in RA changed dramatically with new treatment strategies and the introduction of biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). We report the cases of two RA patients who underwent HTO and whose disease activities were well controlled by bDMARDs. Despite their short follow-up periods, they showed acceptable objective and subjective clinical results. We believe that the combination of bDMARDs and HTO can be indicated for selected RA patients before total knee arthroplasty.

Abstract
Many interesting studies aimed at elucidating the connectivity structure of biomolecular pathways make use of abundance measurements, and employ statistical and information theoretic approaches to assess connectivities. These studies often do not address the effects of the dynamics of the underlying biological system, yet dynamics give rise to impactful issues such as timepoint selection and its effect on structure recovery. In this work, we study conditions for reliable retrieval of the connectivity structure of a dynamic system, and the impact of dynamics on structure-learning efforts. We encounter an unexpected problem not previously described in elucidating connectivity structure from dynamic systems, show how this confounds structure learning of the system and discuss possible approaches to overcome the confounding effect. Finally, we test our hypotheses on an accurate dynamic model of the IGF signalling pathway. We use two structure-learning methods at four time points to contrast the performance and robustness of those methods in terms of recovering correct connectivity.

Abstract
There are a variety of treatment options for patients with spinal metastasis, and predicting prognosis is essential for selecting the proper treatment. The purpose of the present study was to identify the significant prognostic factors for the survival of patients with spinal metastasis. We retrospectively reviewed 143 patients with spinal metastasis. The median age was 61 years. Eleven factors reported previously were analyzed using the Cox proportional hazards model:gender, age, performance status, neurological deficits, pain, type of primary tumor, metastasis to major organs, previous chemotherapy, disease-free interval before spinal metastasis, multiple spinal metastases, and extra-spinal bone metastasis. The average survival of study patients after the first visit to our clinic was 22 months. Multivariate survival analysis demonstrated that type of primary tumor (hazard ratio [HR] = 6.80, p < 0.001), metastasis to major organs (HR = 2.01, p = 0.005), disease-free interval before spinal metastasis (HR = 1.77, p = 0.028), and extra-spinal bone metastasis (HR = 1.75, p = 0.017) were significant prognostic factors. Type of primary tumor was the most powerful prognostic factor. Other prognostic factors may differ among the types of primary tumor and may also be closely associated with primary disease activity. Further analysis of factors predicting prognosis should be conducted with respect to each type of primary tumor to help accurately predict prognosis.

Abstract
Based on available evidence, we would propose the following. (i) Excesses of glucose and free fatty acids cause insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and damage to the endothelial cell by a similar mechanism. (ii) Key pathogenetic events in this mechanism very likely include increased fatty acid esterification, protein kinase C activation, an increase in oxidative stress (demonstrated to date in endothelium) and alterations in the inhibitor kappa B kinase/nuclear factor kappa B system. (iii) Activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) inhibits all of these events and enhances insulin signalling in the endothelial cell. It also enhances insulin action in muscle; however, the mechanism by which it does so has not been well studied. (iv) The reported beneficial effects of exercise and metformin on cardiovascular disease and insulin resistance in humans could be related to the fact that they activate AMPK. (v) The comparative roles of AMPK in regulating metabolism, signalling and gene expression in muscle and endothelial cells warrant further study.

Abstract
Recent progress in antiretroviral treatment has led to dramatic improvements in HIV-related morbidity and mortality. These improvements have been fostered by advances in our understanding of HIV-related pathogenesis, the use of plasma HIV RNA levels to monitor patients, and the availability of 13 licensed antiretroviral drugs. Numerous drug combinations, especially those containing three or more agents, can suppress plasma HIV RNA levels below the lower limit of detection in the majority of treated patients. Urologists should be familiar with the limitations of this therapeutic response: patient adherence, drug resistance, a residual burden of chronically infected cells which are refractory to treatment, an unknown impact on HIV in genital secretions, and potential transmissibility through sexual contact.

Abstract
In a cross-sectional study on 236 individuals in Japan (174 males, 62 females; 149 smokers, 87 non-smokers) plasma nicotine (pnic), cotinine (pcot) and thiocyanate (pSCN), urinary creatinine ratios of nicotine (unic), cotinine (ucot) and thiocyanate (uSCN) as well as carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and expired carbon monoxide (COex) were determined. All tobacco smoke uptake parameters (TSUP) were significantly elevated in smokers as compared to nonsmokers. The discriminant power (smokers vs nonsmokers) rank in the following order: ucot approximately pcot approximately unic greater than pSCN approximately COHb approximately pnic greater than COex approximately uSCN. All parameters except for pnic are significantly correlated with the self-reported number of cigarettes smoked per day. The reason for the poor correlation of pnic with daily cigarette consumption is the short half-life of pnic coupled with the arbitrary time of blood drawing in relation to the last time of smoking.

Abstract
Using a modified method of Con A, LCH or PHA-E affinity crossed-line immunoelectrophoresis, we studied AFP subfractions in 78 sera including 58 from patients with primary hepatoma, 11 from patients with hepatic metastasis of gastric cancer and 9 from patients with germ cell tumors of the gonads (yolk sac tumor, immature solid teratoma or mature solid teratoma). It was found that AFP in primary hepatoma, metastatic hepatoma or germ cell tumors of the gonads were differently glycosylated, and different patterns of AFP subfractions identified by Con A, LCH or PHA-E affinity crossed-line immunoelectrophoresis facilitated a differential diagnosis of such AFP related malignancies.

Abstract
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) subfractions were studied in 38 sera including 34 patients with primary hepatoma and 4 from patients with hepatic metastasis of gastric cancer. Fractionation of AFP was carried out by concanavalin A (Con A) or lentil lectin (LCH) crossed-line affinity immunoelectrophoresis. With use of Con A, fetal-liver-originated subfraction (peak a) was commonly found in both primary hepatoma and metastatic liver cancer, while yolk-sac-originated subfraction (peak b) was detected in 7 of 34 (20.6%) primary hepatomas and 4 of 4 (100%) metastatic liver cancers. With use of LCH, fetal-liver-originated subfractions (peaks A and/or C) were commonly found in both primary hepatoma and hepatic metastasis of gastric cancer, while yolk-sac-originated subfraction (peak B) was found only in metastatic liver cancer. These findings suggest that glycosylation of AFP in primary hepatoma differs from that in hepatic metastasis of gastric cancer. It is also suggested that AFP synthesized in hepatic cancers and fetal liver are differently glycosylated and AFP synthesis of hepatic malignancies are not always retrogenetically expressed, as in case of the fetal liver. Clinically, different patterns of AFP subfraction identified by Con A or LCH crossed-line affinity immunoelectrophoresis facilitate a differential diagnosis of primary hepatoma and hepatic metastasis of gastric cancer, in cases of elevated serum AFP levels. In the current study, attention was also given to the retrogenetic expression of AFP synthesis in hepatic metastasis of gastric cancer.
