ABSTRACT

The incidence of Achilles tendon rupture is increasing as more people participate in sports and physical activities. However, whether to treat a complete rupture of the Achilles tendon, conservatively or operatively, is still controversial. Current studies show that the nonoperative treatment of acute Achilles tendon rupture with short-term immobilization for up to two weeks and subsequent accelerated functional rehabilitation with protected weight-bearing results in similar functional outcomes and re-rupture rates compared to those treated surgically. Also, nonoperative treatment does not risk any surgical morbidity such as wound problems, infection, and nerve injury. Therefore, the treatment options for acute Achilles tendon rupture should be carefully chosen in consultation with patients regarding possible clinical outcomes and complications of both treatment options.

ABSTRACT

Background@#Atelocollagen has been studied for restoration of rotator cuff tendon. In this study, we attempted to evaluate the clinical outcome of ultrasound-guided atelocollagen injection in an outpatient clinic for patients with partial rotator cuff tear. @*Methods@#We recruited 42 outpatients who visited our hospital from May 2019 to September 2019. Atelocollagen injection was performed in patients with partial rotator cuff tear diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound. American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), Constant, Korean Shoulder Score (KSS) and Simple Shoulder Test (SST) scores, and range of motion were assessed before injection and after two months. Statistically, we analyzed the clinical results using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. @*Results@#Finally, 15 patients were enrolled for analysis. There was no significant difference between pre- and post-injection in terms of range of motion, ASES (57.0 vs. 60.4), Constant (56.4 vs.58.9), KSS (64.6 vs.68.5), and pain-visual analog scale (4.2 vs.3.7), except function-visual analog scale (F-VAS; 6.3 vs.7.1) and SST (6.6 vs.6.9). A significant difference was found in SST (P=0.046) and F-VAS (P=0.009). According to the ultrasound results at 2 months, we found hyperechoic materials in three of seven patients. The most common complication of atelocollagen injection was post-injection pain (53%, 8/15). @*Conclusions@#Ultrasound-guided atelocollagen injection for partial rotator cuff tear showed no significant change in terms of clinical outcomes, except for F-vas and SST score. Tendon regeneration was not clear due to the remnants of atelocollagen present at 2-month follow-up ultrasound. There seems to be alarming post-injection pain for 2 to 3 days in the patients who received atelocollagen injection in an outpatient clinic.

ABSTRACT

For evaluation of the response and toxicity of the combination chemotherapy, forty six patients with malignant ovarian tumors who had prior surgery were treated with combination chemotherapy from January 1985 to March 1991 at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kyung-pook National University Hospital. The results were as follows : 1. The responses were in complete 20 cases(43.5%), in partial 9 cases(19,6%), in stable 6 cases(13.0%), in progressive 11 cases(23.9%) among 46 patients. 2. By the response rates of various combination chemotherapy regimens, the response rate of CAP was 64%(16/25), CP 57.1%(8/14), VAC 100%(3/3), VBP 50%(1/2), FAM 0%(0/1), and Melphalan 100%(1/1) respectively. 3. As the chemotoxicities of combination chemotherapy, leukopenia 20 cases(46.5%), thrombocytopenia 2 cases(4.7%), anemia 20 cases(46.5%), nephrotoxity 6 cases(14.6%), hepatotoxicity 7 cases(18.4%) were observed.
