Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the fatigue resistance of restored teeth with bulk fill composite resin, conventional composite resin with incremental insertion and unprepared sound teeth. Twenty-eight extracted maxillary premolars were selected and divided into 4 groups based on composite resin and insertion technique: control (C), conventional composite resin with incremental insertion (I) and bulk fill composite resin with three (BF3) or single increment (BF1). The restored specimens were submitted to fatigue resistance test with a 5 Hz frequency. An initial application of 5,000 sinusoidal load cycles with a minimum force of 50 N and a maximum force of 200 N was used. Next, were applied stages of 30,000 load cycles with the maximum force increasing gradually: 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200 and 1400 N. The test was concluded when 185,000 load cycles were achieved or the specimen failed. The fatigue resistance data were recorded for comparison, using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve and analyzed by log-rank test at 0.05 significance. Fractures were classified based on the position of the failure - above or below the cementoenamel junction (CEJ). Statistical analysis of the Kaplan-Meier survival curve and log-rank test showed a significant difference between groups (p=0.001). The fracture analysis demonstrated that only 28.58% of failures were below the CEJ in group C, while for groups I, BF1 and BF3 they were 42.85%, 85.71% and 85.71%, respectively. Teeth restored with composite bulk fill in both techniques present similar fatigue resistance values compared with those restored with a conventional incremental insertion of composite, while the fatigue strength values of unprepared sound teeth were higher. Furthermore, unprepared sound teeth showed a lower percentage of fractures below the CEJ.

Chirurgische Entfernung

Die komplette chirurgische Entfernung von Lebermetastasen bietet Patienten nach kolorektalem Karzinom die einzige kurative Chance. Es gibt jedoch eine, anscheinend unbegrenzte, Anzahl an Parametern, die die Prognose dieser Patienten bestimmen und damit den Sinn dieser Therapie vorhersagen können. Zu den am häufigsten diskutierten und am einfachsten zu bestimmenden Parametern gehört die Anzahl der Metastasen. Ziel dieser Studie war es daher die Wertigkeit dieses Parameters in der Literatur zu reflektieren und unsere eigenen Patientendaten zu evaluieren. Insgesamt konnte von 302 Patienten ein komplettes Follow-up erhoben werden. Die gebildeten Patientengruppen wurden mit Hilfe einer Kaplan Meier Analyse und konsekutivem log rank Test untersucht. Die Literatur wurde bis Dezember 1998 revidiert. Die Anzahl der Metastasen bestätigte sich als ein prognostisches Kriterium. Lagen drei oder mehr Metastasen vor, so war nicht nur die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer R0 Resektion deutlich geringer (17.8% versus 67.2%) sondern auch das Überleben der Patienten nach einer R0 Resektion tendenziell unwahrscheinlicher. Das 5-Jahres Überleben betrug bei > 2 Metastasen 9% bei > 2 Metastasen 36%. Das 10-Jahres Überleben beträgt bislang bei > 2 Metastasen 0% bei > 2 Metastasen 18% (p < 0.07). Die Anzahl der Metastasen spielt in der Prognose der Patienten mit kolorektalen Lebermetastasen eine Rolle. Selbst bei mehr als vier Metastasen ist jedoch gelegentlich eine R0 Resektion möglich. In diesen Fällen kann der Patient auch langfristig von einer Operation profitieren. Das wichtigere Kriterium einer onkologisch sinnvollen Resektabilität ist die Frage ob technisch und funktionell eine R0 Resektion durchführbar ist. Ist das der Fall, so sollte auch einem Patienten mit mehreren Metastasen die einzige kurative Chance einer Resektion nicht vorenthalten bleiben.

Coronary heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in the world, including Indonesia. Based on doctor-diagnosed interviews, coronary heart disease’s prevalence in Indonesia on 2013 is 0,5% and based on a doctor-diagnosed is 1,5%. Central Sulawesi is ranked first and second for prevalence based on doctor-diagnosed interviews and doctor-diagnosed. The high number of people with coronary heart disease caused by lack of self-awareness in lifestyle changes. One of the parameters used to assess the success of treatment is the probability of survival. Survival analysis is a data analysis where the outcome of the variables studied is the time until an event occurs. This study raised the problem of survival of coronary heart patients at Undata Palu Hospital which is the main referral hospital for Central Sulawesi region. This research uses nonparametric method that is Kaplan Meier and Log Rank Test based on six factors are age, gender, stadium, disease status, complication and status of anemia. Nonparametric methods do not follow a particular distribution for survival time. Kaplan Meier's survival curve will describe the patient's characteristics of survival probability and followed by a Log Rank test to see if there are differences between curves. The result of analysis and discussion based on Log Rank test result showed that the factors of age, sex and disease status differ significantly. Keywords: Coronary heart disease, RSUD Undata Palu, Kaplan Meier analysis, Log Rank test.

Objective: To investigate the incidence and the prognosis of cognitive impairment (CI) and to find out the risk factors associated with the outcome in maintenance haemodialysis (MHD) patients. Methods: Enrolled the patients who met the criteria as below: MHD (≥3 months) patients before July 2014, ≥18 years old and could carry on the cognitive function test (Montreal Cognitive Assessment [MoCA]). All enrolled patients were divided into 2 groups: CI group (MoCA < 26) and non-CI group (MoCA ≥26). All patients were followed up for 36 months. The incidence, demography data, medical history, haemodialysis data, laboratory examination and prognosis of CI in haemodialysis patients were prospectively compared and analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the risk factors of CI. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used for survival analysis. Results: In the present study, 219 patients were enrolled. The ratio of male to female was 1.46: 1. Age was 60.07 ± 12.44 and dialysis vintage was 100.79 ± 70.23 months. One hundred thirteen patients’ MoCA scores were lower than 26 were divided into CI group. Education status (OR 3.428), post-dialysis diastolic pressure (OR 2.234) and spKt/V (OR 1.982) were independent risk factors for CI in MHD patients. During the follow-up period, 15 patients died (13.2%) in the CI group and 5 died (4.72%) in the non-CI group (p < 0.05). The Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the survival rate of patients with CI was lower than that of non-CI group in MHD patients during 3 years follow-up (p = 0.046). Conclusion: CI is one of the most common complications in MHD patients. The mortality is high in patients who had CI. Education status, post-dialysis diastolic pressure and spKt/V are independent risk factors for CI in MHD patients.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to examine whether the use of an internal electrostimulator could improve the results obtained with core decompression alone in the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 41 patients (55 hips) treated for osteonecrosis of the femoral head between 2005 and 2014. Mean follow-up time was 56 (12-108) months. We recorded 3 parameters: time to recurrence of pain, time to conversion to arthroplasty and time to radiographic failure. Survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The equality of the survival distributions was determined by the Log rank test. Results: Implanted electrostimulator was a factor that increased the survival of hips in a pre-op Steinberg stage of II or below, while it remained unchanged if the stage was III or higher. Conclusions: The addition of an internal electrostimulator provides increased survival compared to core decompression alone at stages below III.

21040 Background: Gene expression arrays and IP studies classified breast cancer in three distinct subtypes: basal, HER2/neu and luminal that are associated with different clinical outcomes. Methods: In 141 pts with operable breast cancer, included in phase III trials of adjuvant therapy in our center, immunohistochemical staining was performed on 3μm sections of paraffin blocks, containing tissue-arrays of tumour tissue.A basal phenotype (BP) was defined by negative estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) and positive cytokeratin (CK) 5/6 or EGFR immunoreactivity. HER2/neu phenotype as positive c-erb B2 by HercepTest™ and luminal phenotype (LP) by positive ER, PR and CK 7/8 and negative HER-2. Survival curves were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method. The differences between survivals were estimated using the log rank test. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate any independent prognostic effect of the variables on disease-free survival (DFS). Results: Complete clinical follow-up information was available for 141 pts. The median follow-up period was 52 months (range 1–103 months). During this period, 13.8% pts died from breast cancer and 27.7% pts relapsed. At the time of the primary diagnosis 10.4% of the pts had lymph node negative disease and 89.6% had positive lymph nodes. 50.8% pts received taxane chemotherapy, 7.7% Trastuzumab, 62.3% radiotherapy and 61% pts received hormonotherapy. Positivity for LP was 65.2%, BP 9.9% and Her-2 phenotype 8.5%. 16.3% didn't fit for any of the three subtypes. Median DFS for BP: 24 moths, for LP and Her-2 phenotypes median DFS was not reached. 5 years DFS were; BP: 19%, LP: 63% and Her-2: 56%. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses demonstrated that the presence of a detectable BP was highly significantly associated with a worse DFS compared with the presence of a LP, log rank test (p= 0.0001). Multivariate Cox regression analyses estimated that the prognostic effect of BP in relation to DFS was independent of lymph node, stage and tumor size, HR: 0.12 95% CI (0.05–0.2). Conclusions: We found that expression of BP was associated with poor prognostic in the context of randomized phase III trials. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

7597 Background: Platinum and etoposide chemotherapy is the treatment for patients with SCLC. O etoposide is substituted for IV by many clinicians at twice the dose for bioavailability but the outcome of these subjects has not been studied. To compare the efficacy of O vs. IV etoposide in extensive stage SCLC, a retrospective analysis of subjects treated in the VISN 16 network of 10VA hospitals was undertaken. Methods: Subjects with SCLC diagnosed between 10/1/1996 and 9/30/2010 were identified from the VISN-16 tumor registry. Study was limited to extensive disease by excluding those treated with radiation therapy. Chemotherapy details were obtained from the pharmacy data in the VISN 16 database. Overall survival (OS) was computed as the time in months from the first etoposide issue date to the date of death or last contact. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to compute median OS, and etoposide groups were compared via log-rank test. Results: 300 subjects were eligible for analysis, with median age 67 yrs (range 45-84). 295 deaths were observed during 2,419 total months of follow-up. The median OS of all subjects was 6.3 months (interquartile range (IQR) 2.0-11 months). In addition to platinum, 153 subjects received only O etoposide, 147 received some form of IV etoposide. The median duration (IQR) of therapy for all subjects was 29 (1-110) days; 23 days for those who received any IV etoposide and 43 days for those who received only oral etoposide. The median OS was 7.6 months for those who received only O etoposide vs. 5.4 months for any IV etoposide (P<0.0001). In the latter group, those receiving purely IV etoposide had only 1.5 months’ median OS vs. 8.8 months for those receiving both O and IV etoposide (P<0.0001). Conclusions: Survival of subjects with SCLC treated with O etoposide is comparable to those who received a combination of O and IV therapy. Poor OS for those with only IV therapy may be due to selection bias of poor-performance subjects. [Table: see text]

Reoperation Rates

OBJECTIVE Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) was first approved in 2002 for use in single-level anterior lumbar fusions as an alternative to iliac crest grafts. Subsequent studies have concluded that BMP provides superior fusions rates and therefore reduces reoperations for nonunions. The purpose of this study was to determine the reoperation rates for symptomatic nonunions in posterior cervical (subaxial) spinal fusions with and without the use of BMP and to determine if the nonunion rates are statistically significantly different between the two groups. METHODS Between January 2009 and September 2013, the authors identified 1158 posterior cervical spinal fusion cases in the subaxial spine (C2–7) from a large spine registry (Kaiser Permanente). Patient characteristics, diagnoses, operative times, lengths of stay, and reoperations were extracted from the registry. Reoperations for symptomatic nonunions were adjudicated via chart review. Logistic regression was conducted to produce estimates of odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Kaplan-Meier curves for the non-BMP and BMP groups were generated and compared using the log-rank test. RESULTS In this cohort there were 1158 patients (19.3% with BMP) with a median follow up of 1.7 years (interquartile range [IQR] 0.7–2.9 years) and median duration to operative nonunion of 0.63 years (IQR 0.44–1.57 years). Kaplan-Meier curves showed no significant difference in reoperation rates for nonunions using the log-rank test (p = 0.179). In a subset of patients with more than 1 year of follow-up, 788 patients were identified (22.5% with BMP) with a median follow-up duration of 2.5 years (IQR 1.7–3.4 years) and a median time to operative nonunion of 0.73 years (IQR 0.44–1.57 years). There was no statistically significant difference in the symptomatic operative nonunion rates for posterior cervical (subaxial) fusions with BMP compared with non-BMP (1.1% vs 0.7%; crude OR 1.73, 95% CI 0.32–9.55, p = 0.527) for more than 1 year of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS This study presents the largest series of patients using BMP in posterior cervical (subaxial) spinal fusions. Reoperation rates for symptomatic nonunions with more than 1 year of follow-up were found to be 1.1% with BMP and 0.7% without BMP. There was no significant difference in the reoperation rates for symptomatic nonunions with or without BMP.

Abstract Background Left atrial diameter (LAD) has been confirmed to predict recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation (CA). The influence of right atrium (RA) size on the prognosis after CA was relatively unclear and lack of research. The objective of the present study was to investigate the relationship between right atrial diameter (RAD) and the mid-term outcome of AF after CA. Methods This study retrospectively examined 121 patients who underwent initial CA for symptomatic AF. Cox regression model was used to find risk factors of recurrence. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate predictive power and determine clinic cutoff value. Kaplan-Meier survival curve and log-rank test were used to analyze success rate. Results There were 94 (77.7%) patients of freedom from AF after 24.2 ± 4.5 months’ follow-up. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed both hypertension and RAD were independent risk factors of arrhythmia recurrence after ablation regardless of AF type (HR: 4.915; 95% CI: 1.370-17.635; P = 0.015 and HR: 1.059; 95% CI: 1.001–1.120; P = 0.045, respectively). However, in patients with paroxysmal AF (par-AF), Multivariate analysis showed RAD become the only independent risk factor (HR: 1.031; 95% CI: 1.016–1.340; P = 0.029). ROC curve demonstrated the cutoff value of RAD was 35.5 mm with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.715 (95% CI: 0.586–0.843, P = 0.009), sensitivity of 81.3% and specificity of 54.2%. Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed significant difference of freedom from par-AF (67.5 vs. 91.4%, log-rank, P = 0.015) between patients with RAD ≥ 35.5 mm and < 35.5 mm in this subgroup. Nevertheless, in patients with persistent AF (per-AF), no risk factor of arrhythmia recurrence was found. In addition, Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed no significant difference of freedom from per-AF (69.7 vs. 87.5%, log-rank, P = 0.31) between patients with RAD ≥ 35.5 mm and < 35.5 mm. Conclusions RAD was the independent risk factor predicting recurrence of AF after CA only in patients with par-AF. In patients with RAD < 35.5 mm, there was a significantly higher freedom from par-AF recurrence compared with RAD ≥ 35.5 mm after a mid-term follow-up.

Abstract Background: In this study, we focused on the role of overhydration (OH) and low serum prealbumin concentration in predicting 3-year peritonitis in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients.Methods: We measured serum prealbumin concentration and OH by body composition monitor on 278 CAPD patients (159 males and 119 females) with mean age of 46 years and the median peritoneal dialysis (PD) duration of 21 months. PD-related peritonitis was collected for 3 years. Results: After the 3-year follow-up, 44 patients diagnosed PD-related peritonitis (15.8%). Low education, serum albumin, prealbumin, high CRP-hs and OH were independent risk factors for predicting peritonitis during 36 months in CAPD patients. Based on the ROC curve model and Kaplan–Meier analysis, we realized that patients with low prealbumin and high OH were the independent predictors of 3-year peritonitis in CAPD patients (Prealbumin: AUC = 0.838, cut-off value = 32.5 mg/dL, Se= 90.9%, Sp = 32.9%; OH: AUC = 0.851, cut-off value = 1.33 L, Se = 79.5%, Sp = 85.5%; and Log-rank test p < 0.001, respectively). Conclusion: Overhydration and low serum prealbumin level were the independent predictors of PD-related peritonitis in CAPD patients.
