Surface structures and physicochemical properties critically influence osseointegration of titanium (Ti) implants. Previous studies have shown that the surface with both micro- and nanoscale roughness may provide multiple features comparable to cell dimensions and thus efficiently regulate cell-material interaction. However, less attention has been made to further optimize the physicochemical properties (e.g., crystalline phase) and to further improve the bioactivity of micro/nanostructured surfaces. Herein, micro/nanostructured titania surfaces with different crystalline phases (amorphous, anatase and anatase/rutile) were prepared and hydroxyapatite (HA) nanorods were deposited onto the as-prepared surfaces by a spin-assisted layer-by-layer assembly method without greatly altering the initial multi-scale morphology and wettability. The effects of crystalline phase, chemical composition and wettability on osteoblast response were investigated. It is noted that all the micro/nanostructured surfaces with/without HA modification presented superamphiphilic. The activities of MC3T3-E1 cells suggested that the proliferation trend on the micro/nanostructured surfaces was greatly influenced by different crystalline phases, and the highest proliferation rate was obtained on the anatase/rutile surface, followed by the anatase; but the cell differentiation and extracellular matrix mineralization were almost the same among them. After ultrathin HA modification on the micro/nanostructured surfaces with different crystalline phases, it exhibited similar proliferation trend as the original surfaces; however, the cell differentiation and extracellular matrix mineralization were significantly improved. The results indicate that the introduction of ultrathin HA to the micro/nanostructured surfaces with optimized crystalline phase benefits cell proliferation, differentiation and maturation, which suggests a favorable biomimetic microenvironment and provides the potential for enhanced implant osseointegration in vivo.
To report the successful treatment of post intravitreal bevacizumab recurrent Burkholderia cepacia endophthalmitis managed with a clear lens extraction and posterior capsulectomy.

A 34-year-old female African, known SC hemoglobinopathy patient, presented with bilateral blur in vision and floaters of a week duration; worse in her right eye. Her visual acuity was right eye 6/9 (20/30) and left eye 6/6 (20/20). Her anterior segment examination was normal in both eyes. On fundus examination, she had a right eye vitreous hemorrhage and bilateral active Sea-fan neovascular proliferation in the retina periphery. Following the administration of bilateral simultaneous intravitreal bevacizumab, she presented 4 days later with a right eye infective endophthalmitis. She suffered multiple recurrences despite adequate treatment, including a vitrectomy with silicone oil injection. Multiple microbiological assessment of intraocular extracts confirmed persistent Burkholderia cepacia infection. A wide ring-shaped opaque pl.
Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) remain the golden standard in biomedical research, which makes their reporting to a high quality essential to control RCTs' internal validity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of abstract reporting of RCTs published in periodontic journals and their compliance with the CONSORT guidelines.

A hand search was undertaken to identify RCTs published in three periodontic journals [1] Journal of periodontology (JOP) [2], the Journal of periodontal research (JOPR) and [3] the Journal of clinical periodontology (JOCP) from 2015 to 2018.The completeness of abstract reporting was evaluated with a modified CONSORT for abstracts statement checklist.

Abstracts of 177 randomized controlled trials were identified and assessed. The distribution of published reports was in the Journal of periodontology (JOP), (42%) the Journal of periodontal research (JOPR) (7%) and the Journal of clinical periodontology (JOCP) (51%). NSC 2382 The mean overall reporting quality score was 49.0%(95% CI 47.7-50.2%). Most of the abstracts (91-100%) clearly reported and described the study design as randomized in the RCTs' title and recruitment status, as well as study interventions, objective(s), outcome(s) and conclusions. There was insufficient description and reporting of the authors' contact details, trial design, method of randomization, blinding, number of analyzed participants per group, harms, trial registration and source of funding.

The quality of reporting of abstracts of randomized controlled trials in periodontic journals is suboptimal. In view of the current guidelines of reporting RCTs abstracts, efforts should be made to better reporting.

Patients with vEDS are at a high risk of developing severe complications (such as arterial aneurysm, arterial rupture, intestinal rupture) at an early age. We report a case of colonic perforation in a vEDS patient with no family history of that disease. A 28-year-old man with abdominal pain arrived at our hospital in an ambulance. The preoperative diagnosis was panperitonitis due to gastrointestinal perforation. Although his parents had not suffered from vEDS, he had been diagnosed with the disease at 25 years of age because of his history of arterial dissection. We performed an emergency operation using Hartmann's procedure to construct a descending colostomy. There remains a lack of consensus on surgical management in vEDS patients with gastrointestinal perforation because of the limited number of reported cases.
This study aimed to elucidate the effect of the extract of daikenchuto (DKT), a Japanese Kampo medicine, on the contractile activity of the internal anal sphincter in conscious dogs.

Force transducers were attached to the serosal surface of the rectum and the internal anal sphincter of male beagle dogs. In addition, the contractile activity of the rectum and the internal anal sphincter was continuously measured until 6 h after DKT administration
telemetry in the conscious state. The DKT dose was 1.5 g/body, and the administration route was intrarectal in the expectation of a direct effect on the rectoanal region. DKT was re-administered to the same animal after drug withdrawal, and the plasma concentrations of hydroxy-α-sanshool (HAS) and hydroxy-β-sanshool (HBS) before and after administration were measured.

After DKT administration, the contractile activity of the internal anal sphincter immediately increased, peaked at 10 min, continued for ≥1 h, and had almost disappeared after 4 h. Rectal contraction differed from that of the internal anal sphincter, with no significant contraction observed.
