Introduction/Background: Osteoarthritis is still an incurable disease, the current treatment is to reduce clinical symptoms. The intra articular glucocorticoid injection in knee osteoarthritis makes the inflammatory process self-limiting and improves pain symptom. Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intra articular methylprednisolone acetate injection in treatment of primary knee osteoarthritis. Materials and Methods: Prospective descriptive study of 88 knee joints (34 joints in study group, 54 joints in control group) was diagnosed with primary osteoarthritis according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria and in Kellgen & Lawrence grade II, III. The patient was assessed about clinical features, subclinical features and the VAS score, Lequesne index at the initial of the study and 7 days later. Results: The analgesic effect was higher in the group of intra articular methylprednisolon injection with statistically significant difference (∆VAS of the study group and the control group were 38.65 ± 9.25; 25.11 ± 9.26, respectively, with p < 0.05). The improving of knee function was higher in the group of intra articular methylprednisolon injection with statistically significant difference (∆Lequesne of the study group and the control group were 7.00 (5.00 – 8.00); 4.00 (3.00 – 5.00), respectively, with p < 0.05). The incidence of complications in the study group was 1/34 (2.94%) with post – injection pain. The improvement of VAS is better in patient with severe pain than those with moderate pain (p < 0.05) and correlated to the initial value of Lequesne (r2 = 0,162, respectively, with p < 0.05). The improvement of Lequesne correlated to the joint fluid thickness in ultrasound (r2 = 0.102, p < 0.05). There is no relation between efficacy of treatment and site of knee joint, radiology stage and synovial membrane thickness (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The intra articular methylprednisolone acetate injection in treatment of primary knee osteoarthritis is a safe treatment and has significant, clearly effect in pain relief and physical function improving after 7 days. The improvement of VAS is better in the patient with higher initial value of VAS, Lequesne and the improvement of Lequesne is better in the patients with more synovial thickness in ultrasound. Key words: Knee osteoarthritis, intraarticular injection, methylprednisolon acetate

Abstract Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the persisting Covid-19-related symptoms of the cases included in our study and to assess their cardiac findings in order to determine the impact of Covid-19 on children’s cardiovascular health. Methods: In this study, 121 children between the ages of 0-18 with Covid-19 were evaluated based on their history, blood pressure values, and electrocardiography and echocardiography results. These findings were compared with the findings of the control group which consisted of 95 healthy cases who were in the same age range as the study group and did not have Covid-19. The results were evaluated using the statistics program, SPSS 21. Results: There was no significant difference between the study group and the control group in terms of age, weight, and body mass index. The clinical symptoms (chest and back pain, dizziness, headache, palpitation, fatigue, shortness of breath, loss of balance, coughing) of 37.2% of the cases persisted at least 1 month after Covid-19 recovery. Statistically significant differences were found in systolic blood pressure, left ventricular ejection fraction, relative wall thickness, and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion. Conclusion: The continuation of some cases’ clinical symptoms post-recovery indicates that long Covid infection can be observed in children. The fact that statistically significant differences were observed between the echocardiographic parameters of the study and control groups suggests that Covid-19 may have effects on the cardiovascular system. To shed light on the long Covid cases among children and the infection’s cardiac impacts, it would be beneficial to conduct more comprehensive studies on this matter.

To investigate the efficacy of Shenqi Runchang Tongbian Decoction in the treatment of children with constipation and its effect on the clinical symptoms of children. Methods: From January 2016 to January 2020, 100 patients with constipation were randomly divided into two groups. The control group was treated with lactulose oral solution, and the study group was treated with Shenqi Runchang Tongbian Decoction. Both groups were administered with drugs for 14 days, and the two groups were followed up on the 28th day. The effectiveness of the two groups was compared before treatment and during follow-up. The changes of various symptom scores were compared before treatment, after treatment and during follow-up, and the changes of primary symptom score, secondary symptom score and total score were compared before treatment, after treatment and during follow-up. Results: After treatment, the effectiveness of the study group was higher than that of the control group at follow-up (P <0.05). After treatment and during the follow-up, the scores of facial color, lips, sleep, urination, hand-foot-heart-chest, appetite, halitosis, abdominal distension and abdominal pain, defecation duration, defecation difficulty, defecation frequency and stool property of the two groups were lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the scores of facial color, sleep, urination and hand-foot-heart-chest symptoms before and after treatment of the control group and the study group (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the scores of facial color, lips, sleep, urination and hand-foot-heart-chest symptoms before treatment and during follow-up between the control group and the study group (P > 0.05). The scores of lip symptoms after treatment in the study group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The scores of appetites, halitosis, abdominal distension and abdominal pain, defecation duration, defecation difficulty, defecation frequency, stool property after treatment and during follow-up in the study group were lower than those in the control group (P <0.05). The total score, the secondary symptom score and the primary symptom score of the two groups before treatment and during follow-up were lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05). The total score, the secondary symptom score and the primary symptom score in the study group were lower than those in the control group after treatment and during follow-up (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The treatment of children with constipation with Shenqi Runchang Tongbian Decoction can improve the secondary symptoms and primary symptoms of children and improve the comprehensive curative effect, especially in the aspects of improving appetite, halitosis, abdominal distension and abdominal pain, defecation duration, defecation difficulty, defecation frequency and stool property. It can effectively enhance the gastrointestinal function and promote the rehabilitation of children. It is worthy of being popularized in clinical practice.

Abstract Introduction Good hearing in pilots, including central auditory skills, is critical for flight safety and the prevention of aircraft accidents. Pure tone audiometry alone may not be enough to assess hearing in the members of this population who, in addition to high noise levels, routinely face speech recognition tasks in non-ideal conditions. Objective To characterize the frequency-following response (FFR) of a group of military pilots compared with a control group. Methods Twenty military pilots in the Study Group and 20 non-pilot military personnel, not exposed to noise in their work, in the Control Group, all with normal hearing, aged between 30 and 40 years old, completed a questionnaire to assess their hearing habits, and their FFRs were measured with a /da/ syllable (duration 40 milliseconds, speed 10.9/s), at 80 dB NA in the right ear. All procedures were approved by the ethical committee of the institution. Statistical analysis was performed using the t-Student or Mann-Whitney tests for quantitative variables, and the Fisher or chi-squared tests for qualitative variables, and a value of p < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results There was no significant difference between the groups regarding auditory habits. In the FFR, wave amplitudes A (p = 0.01) and C (p = 0.04) were significantly lower in the Study Group. Conclusion Working as a military pilot can be a crucial factor in determining an individual's typical FFR pattern, demonstrated in the present study by statistically significant reductions in the amplitudes of the A and C waves.

Background and Purpose: Lactobacilli play a vital role in protecting the vagina against pathogens. Cytokines are vital components of defense against infections in women. The genital mycoplasmas, Mycoplasma genitalium and Ureaplasma urealyticum, are associated with various infectious diseases in adults and infants. The objective of our study is to identify differences in cytokine profile and Lactobacillus species dominance between a study group of non-pregnant pre-menopausal women with genital M. genitalium or U. urealyticum colonization and a control group of non-pregnant pre-menopausal women without genital M. genitalium or U. urealyticum colonization. Methods: A real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to measure Lactobacillus species in vaginal swab samples. Cytokine analysis was performed using multiplex immunoassay techniques. Analysis of variance confirmed a significant difference in cytokine profiles between patient groups, with t-tests identifying the most significantly different cytokines. Categorical data analysis identified significant patterns of relative Lactobacillus species dominance in the study group. Results: Lactobacillus iners was the predominant Lactobacillus species in the control group ( p = 0.005). There were no dominant Lactobacillus species observed in the study group. Vascular endothelial growth factor A ( p = 0.002), interleukin-8 ( p = 0.001), and interleukin-1β ( p = 0.049) were expressed significantly higher in the study group, whereas interleukin-1 receptor antagonist ( p < 0.001), interleukin-10 ( p = 0.001), interleukin-12 ( p = 0.002), and interferon-γ ( p = 0.022) were expressed higher in the control group. Association matrices for cytokines were significantly different between two groups ( p < 0.001), with mostly negative associations in the control group and mostly positive associations in the study group. Conclusion: Cytokine levels, their associations, and the patterns of Lactobacillus species dominance are observed to significantly diverge on the basis of M. genitalium and U. urealyticum colonization among non-pregnant pre-menopausal women.

Purpose: To evaluate the tear parameters, meibomian glands and lid margin and tarsal conjunctival impression cytology in patients with conjunctivochalasis (CCH). Methods: The study included 57 patients diagnosed with CCH and 35 healthy volunteers. Tear break-up time (TBUT) was measured and Schirmer test was performed. Meibomian gland morphologies, dropout rates, and meiboscores were evaluated using meibography. Finally, impression cytology samples were taken by pressing the impression filters on the lower lid margin and lower tarsal conjunctiva. The samples were evaluated according to the Nelson grading system. Results: Schirmer test was longer and TBUT was shorter in the study group ( p = 0.035 and p < 0.001, respectively). The median of meibomian gland dropout rate was 33.45% (Interquartile range [IQR]; 23.17%–49.75%) and 18.80% (IQR; 12.35%–26.50%) in the study and control groups, respectively ( p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in terms of lid-margin cytology between the two groups ( p = 0.481). In tarsal conjunctiva cytology, the median value of Nelson grade of the study group was 2 (IQR; 1–2) and that of the control group was 1 (IQR; 1–2) ( p = 0.040). When Nelson grade-2 and above was accepted as the pathological limit, it was found that 27.5% of the study group and 15.2% of the control group showed pathological findings ( p = 0.204). Conclusions: In patients with CCH, damage occurs in the tarsal conjunctiva with the effects of redundant conjunctival folds. In these patients, atrophy occurs in the meibomian glands and tear stability is impaired. Therefore, CCH should not be overlooked in clinical practice.

To investigate the effect of aerosol inhalation of budesonide suspension on clinical efficacy, remission time of asthma and disappearance time of rales in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. Methods: 100 cases of mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in our hospital from February 2019 to February 2021 were randomly divided into study group (n = 50) and control group (n = 50). The control group was given azithromycin intravenous drip followed by oral treatment, and the study group was given aerosol inhalation of budesonide suspension on the basis of the control group. Results: Compared with the control group, disappearance time of rales in the study group, remission time of cough, remission time of asthma and time of hospitalization in the study group were relatively short (P<0.05), and the efficacy in the study group was relatively high (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and hoarseness between the two groups (P>0.05). The improvement of FVCS FEV1 and PEF and other indexes was relatively high in the study group by comparing with the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Aerosol inhalation of budesonide suspension in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia can effectively enhance the therapeutic effect, promote the improvement of lung function, and reduce the disappearance time of rales and remission time of asthma, so it can be popularized.

Background/aims Workers engaged in vehicle spray painting are at a risk of developing respiratory problems because of the solvents in the spray paints. Changes in respiratory functions and functional capacities caused by spray painting can be improved with respiratory exercises. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of respiratory exercises on the respiratory functions, functional capacity and quality of life in vehicle spray painters. Methods A total of 70 volunteers with similar characteristics participated in the study. The groups were divided into two groups randomly (35 study group, 35 control group). Respiratory functions (value of forced expiratory volume percentage in 1 second [FEV1]), forced vital capacity percentage [FVC], FEV1/FVC percentage, peak expiratory flow percentage [PEF (%)] and maximum voluntary ventilation percentage [MVV (%)]), functional capacity (6-Minute Walk Test) and quality of life (Short Form Health Survey [SF-36]) were evaluated. The study group undertook supervised breathing exercises 3 days a week for 6 weeks. The same exercises were given to the control group as a home programme. Home programmes were followed up by telephone calls. Evaluations were performed again after 6 weeks. Results In the study group, FEV1 (%) increased more than in the control group (P<0.05). The increase in PEF (%) was similar in both groups (P>0.05). In the study group, FEV1/FVC (%) and MVV (%) were significantly different before and after the intervention (P<0.05), but there was no difference in the control group (P>0.05). There was a greater increase in the study group than in the control group (P<0.05). 6-Minute Walk Test distance (m) before and after the intervention in both groups were similar (P>0.05). Before and after the intervention, a significant difference was found in the vitality and the social function domains of the SF-36 in the study group. In the comparisons of groups, a significant difference was found in the study group in the role-emotional, social function and bodily pain domains of the SF-36 after the intervention (P<0.05). Conclusions Breathing exercises can be recommended for vehicle spray painters to avoid an increase in respiratory resistance and to improve their quality of life.

Introduction: Fever is the most common presenting complain for which children are brought to the paediatrician.Physical methods are widely used in treating febrile children, tepid sponging being commonly practiced in hospitals along with antipyretics. The objectives of this study were to compare the effectiveness of tepid sponging and antipyretic drug versus antipyretic drug alone in febrile children.Material and Methods: This was a Randomized controlled trial done in JSS Medical College and Hospital. All children under the age of 6 months to 12 years, admitted with axillary temperature of >99oF were included in the study. A total of 500 children were included over two years study period. Children with recorded axillary temperature of >990F were randomized into control and study group by computer generated randomisation. Children in the control group received only paracetamol (15mg/kg) at 5 minutes and combined group received paracetamol and tepid sponging at five minutes. Axillary temperature was monitored every 15 minutes for a period of 2 hours in both the groups.Results: There is no significant difference in reduction of temperature between the two groups by the end of two hours. Children in combined group had a higher level of discomfort than those in only antipyretic group.Conclusion: Tepid sponging does not add to the efficacy of paracetamol in antipyresis and that addition of tepid sponging to antipyretic, results in additional discomfort for the child. This study, therefore, endorses the view that antipyretic alone without tepid sponging should be the modality of therapy in children with fever.

Background: There is a paucity of clinical information to guide the treatment of a combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear and Segond fracture. Purpose: To compare clinical outcomes, graft failure rates, and activity levels between patients undergoing ACL reconstruction (ACLR) with and without an untreated Segond fracture at a minimum 2-year follow-up. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: This study included a group of patients with a combined ACL tear/untreated Segond fracture that was matched based on age, sex, body mass index, and graft type to a control group of patients with an ACL tear and no Segond fracture. All patients were treated with ACLR alone between the years of 2000 and 2015. The diagnosis of a Segond fracture, or bony avulsion of the anterolateral complex, was made by radiographic analysis. Data regarding the initial injury, surgical intervention, and physical examination findings were recorded. Clinical and functional outcomes were obtained using physical examination results, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective scores, and Tegner activity levels. Results: Twenty patients (16 male, 4 female) with a combined ACL tear/untreated Segond fracture with a mean age of 26.3 years (range, 13-44 years) were matched to a control group of 40 patients (32 male, 8 female) with an ACL tear and no Segond fracture with a mean age of 26.4 years (range, 13-47 years). The study group was followed for a mean of 59.1 months (range, 24-180 months) and the control group for a mean of 55.5 months (range, 24-120 months). The mean IKDC score was 86.5 (range, 54-100) for the study group compared with 93.0 (range, 54-100) for the control group ( P = .03). The graft rupture rate was 10% for both groups ( P = .97). The mean time to rupture was 33.0 months (range, 21-45 months) in the study group and 63.5 months (range, 39-88 months) in the control group ( P = .24). Patients in the study group had significantly more anteroposterior instability by preoperative Lachman testing than those in the control group (control group: 0 normal, 3 grade 1+, 37 grade 2+, 0 grade 3+; study group: 0 normal, 1 grade 1+, 10 grade 2+, 9 grade 3+; P = .0001). There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in regard to postoperative Lachman testing (control group: 35 normal, 3 grade 1+, 2 grade 2+, 0 grade 3+; study group: 17 normal, 3 grade 1+, 0 grade 2+, 0 grade 3+; P = .31). Patients in the study group had significantly more instability by preoperative pivot-shift testing than those in the control group (control group: 0 normal, 7 grade 1+, 33 grade 2+, 0 grade 3+; study group: 1 normal, 1 grade 1+, 11 grade 2+, 7 grade 3+; P = .0003). No significant difference was found between the 2 groups for postoperative pivot-shift testing (control group: 36 normal, 2 grade 1+, 2 grade 2+, 0 grade 3+; study group: 18 normal, 1 grade 1+, 1 grade 2+, 0 grade 3+; P = .61) or final Tegner activity level (median, 6). Conclusion: At midterm follow-up, patients undergoing ACLR with and without a Segond fracture had similar pivot-shift test results, graft failure rates, and activity levels. The IKDC score was statistically worse in the patients with a combined ACL tear/untreated Segond fracture, but the difference was less than the minimal clinically important difference for the IKDC score. These findings suggest that patients with a combined ACL tear/untreated Segond fracture can have comparable outcomes to patients with an ACL tear and no Segond fracture when treated with ACLR alone.
