Steadman Philippon Research Institute 2003 Annual Report
The area of regenerative medicine is an excit-
ing one. There are many new and innovative
techniques under investigation by scientists
around the world. In 2003, we focused our
efforts almost exclusively on regeneration of an
improved tissue for resurfacing of articular
cartilage defects that typically lead to degenera-
tive osteoarthritis. We have been working in
the promising area of gene therapy in collabo-
ration with Drs. Wayne McIlwraith and David
Frisbie at Colorado State University. Following is
some background information and a summary of our most recent findings. This work is ongoing, and the encouraging results presented here will allow us to continue to focus on this work in the coming years.
Osteoarthritis is a debilitating, progressive disease characterized by the deterioration of articular cartilage and accompanied by changes in the bone and soft tissues of the joint. Traumatic injury to joints is also often associated with acute damage to the articular carti- lage. Unfortunately, joint cartilage is a tissue with poor healing poten- tial. Once damaged, cartilage typically does not heal, or it may heal with fibrous tissue that does not function as it should. Such tissue does not possess the biomechanical and biochemical properties of the original hyaline cartilage; hence, the integrity of the articular sur- face and normal joint function are compromised. The result often is osteoarthritis.

Approximately 250,000 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions are performed every year in the United States. ACL injuries are most commonly caused during an activ-
ity that involves a twisting or pivoting motion of the knee, causing the ACL to tear and creating a popping noise in the joint. Various studies have shown that ACL reconstructions with autograft tissue (tissue from the patient’s own knee) report a failure rate of approximately 5-10 percent of all surger- ies performed each year. Despite the
prevalence of this procedure, a debate still exists regarding the ideal graft choice. The use of allograft tissue (cadaveric donor tissue) continues to gain popularity because it lacks the inherent disadvan- tages that are specific to the utilization
of autograft tissue. Some of the disad- vantages of autograft use include harvest- site morbidity (disease), scarring and tendinitis, patella fracture, etc. Despite these disadvantages, ACL autograft use
is still considered advantageous for a number of reasons, including lower surgi- cal costs, lack of cell death, improved graft incorporation, and lack of donor- to-host disease transmission. Contrary to autograft tissue, the use of allograft tissue avoids harvest-site morbidity, provides less peri-operative pain, and shortens opera- tive time significantly. The preparation
of allograft tissue has changed significantly in recent years, significantly decreasing the chances of disease transmission, while still preserving the collagen integrity of the graft.
The purpose of this study was to document ACL revi- sion rates and subjective outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with Achilles allograft, bone-patel- lar tendon-bone (B-PT-B) allograft, hamstring autograft and B-PT-B autograft, while controlling for surgical technique and rehabilitation. Our hypothesis was that revision rates and outcomes of ACL allograft and ACL autograft procedures. would be similar among ACL reconstruction groups performed by the same surgeon with the same rehabilitation.

Epidemiología de la Resistencia a la Insulina, Diabetes Mellitus y Enfermedad...Dr. Jair García-Guerrero
This document discusses epidemiology and risk factors related to insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, and coronary heart disease. It provides definitions for diagnosing diabetes based on plasma glucose concentrations. It also shows that the prevalence of diabetes is increasing worldwide and that cardiovascular disease is a major cause of mortality and costs for people with diabetes. People with diabetes have higher risks of cardiovascular events and mortality compared to those without diabetes. Multiple risk factors, including dyslipidemia, hypertension, central obesity, and hyperglycemia contribute to increased cardiovascular risk in diabetes. Tight control of blood sugar, blood pressure, and lipids is important for reducing complications.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
