Three Dimensional Motion Analysis of Hand Tremors During Endoscopic Ear Surgery

[Background] Endoscopic surgery is developing in various clinical specialties. During ear endoscopic surgery, a surgeon has to hold an endoscope with one hand and operate the surgical instruments with another hand. Therefore, the stability of the surgeon’s hand affects the field of surgical view and quality of the surgery considerably. There are few techniques which are used during surgery to stabilize the endoscope. However, no study has evaluated the efficacy of such techniques in detail. This study examined the three dimensional movement of an endoscope to compare and evaluate the effect of various stabilization techniques to reduce the hand tremor while using the endoscope. [Methods] A non-randomized controlled trial involving 15 medical students was conducted in Tottori University, Japan. Subjects held an endoscope with their non-dominant hand and manipulated it using three different stabilization techniques i.e. with resting the elbow on the table, resting the endoscope on the ear canal, both with the elbow on the table and endoscope on the ear canal. For the control, subjects were made to use the endoscope without any stabilization technique. The endoscopic movement was measured with and without using the stabilization techniques. [Results] The results obtained in this study indicated that manipulating the endoscope with resting the elbow on the table restrains both vertical (Y-axis) and optical axis (Z-axis) direction of tremor, and manipulating the endoscope by resting it on the ear canal restrains both vertical (Y-axis) and horizontal axis (X-axis) direction while the combined use of both the techniques reduces the endoscope movement in all the three X, Y and Z axes. [Conclusion] In conclusion, concomitant use of both techniques appears to be clinically beneficial in endoscopic ear surgery.journal articl

The Student Guidance Office 2018 Annual Report

This article reported statistics and some activities in the student guidance office as 2018 annual report. The number of counseling decreased from last year, but it showed higher rate than the average rate of it reported from Japanese Association of Student Counseling. This was assumed to result in the efforts such as the following 1) universal screening assessment using UPI and interview simultaneously, 2) specific support and assistance in response to each student's need as well as counseling and 3) close collaboration with other faculties and staffs. It is necessary to consider reference points what select students who should interview and an appropriate timing when contact students after UPI screening assessment.departmental bulletin pape

Decomposition Reaction of Organophosphorus Nerve Agents on Solid Surfaces with Atmospheric Radio Frequency Plasma Generated Gaseous Species

The decomposition and detoxification of compounds are of great interest in environmental protection and defense-related areas. We report the generation of gaseous excited species by scanning atmospheric radio frequency (rf) plasma and their reactions with two representative organophosphorus nerve agents, paraoxon and parathion, deposited on solid surfaces. The excited gaseous species generated in the Ar and Ar/O2 plasma were identified as atomic oxygen, OH radical, and excited nitrogen molecule from optical emission spectroscopy analysis. The reaction of these species with paraoxon and parathion was monitored with reflection−absorption infrared spectroscopy and compared with the decomposition by UV irradiation and UV/ozone treatments. The decomposition products of the atmospheric rf plasma treatment were similar to those of the UV/ozone treatment. The atomic oxygen and excited OH species generated by the plasma appear to be responsible for the oxidation of paraoxon and parathion. The plasma-induced decomposition process was much faster and more efficient than the UV/ozone process. The complete detoxification of paraoxon and parathion upon a short time exposure to the Ar/O2 plasma was confirmed by the Drosophila melanogaster culture test

COS-7 cells in 100 mm dishes were transfected with pG5-LUC (3 µg), pGL3-Basic (3 µg) and pM or pM.CoCoA 501–691 (3 µg). After 48 h transfection, crosslinked, sonicated nuclear extracts were immunoprecipitated with the indicated antibodies. PCR analysis was performed with primers that recognize identical backbone sequences in both reporter plasmids but produce different size PCR products from the two reporters, as illustrated in the diagram. The data shown were obtained with 0.1 µl of input DNA and 1 µl of precipitated DNA samples. Results shown are representative of three independent experiments. () Occupancy of the stably integrated Gal4 responsive promoter. HLR cells, containing a stably integrated Gal4-LUC reporter gene, were transiently transfected in 150 mm dishes with pM or pM.CoCoA 501–691 (8 µg). After 48 h transfection, crosslinked, sonicated nuclear extracts were immunoprecipitated with the indicated antibodies. The coprecipitated DNA was amplified by PCR using primers to amplify the Gal4 responsive promoter. PCR was performed with varying amounts of input (1, 0.1 and 0.01 µl) and precipitated DNA samples (5, 2.5, 1 and 0.2 µl) to determine the linear range for the amplification (data not shown). The data shown were obtained with 0.1 or 1 µl of input DNA and 1 or 2.5 µl of precipitated DNA samples. Position of the PCR primers amplifying a region of the Gal4 responsive promoter is indicated by the opposing pair of arrows in the diagram. The results shown are representative of two independent experiments. () Real-time PCR analysis was performed with the same primers and samples used in (B). The data shown were obtained with 1 µl of input and 1 µl or 2.5 µl of precipitated DNA samples (1 µl of α-Gal4 samples and 2.5 µl of α-p300 and IgG samples). The results are shown as percentage of input and are the mean and SD from triplicate reactions
