Correlation Between Sagittal Spinopelvic Parameters and Oswestry Disability Index After Thoracal and Lumbar Spine Stabilization and Fusion

Spinopelvic parameter consists of sagittal vertical axis (SVA), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS) which are measured by whole-spine-lateral-view radiograph in standing position. Measurement of the separameters is pivotalas the land mark analysis toachieve correct sagittal balance. The objective of the study is to analyze the correlation between PI, PT, SVA and SSwith theclinical outcomes which was measured usingOswestry Disability Index (ODI) scoring system.This is a cross-sectional study involving 19 patients who underwent thoracal and lumbar fusion surgery in our centerduring 2012-2014. Radiographi cevaluation of SVA, PI, PT, and SS and ODI score were performed 1 year after surgery. Pearson test was conducted to determine the correlation between SVA, PI, PT, and SS with ODI score.There wasa strong correlation between ODI withSVA and PI (p<0.001,r=0.866; p=0.006; r=0.603, respectively). There was no correlation between other parameters with ODI.Based on this study, spinopelvic parameters that can represent the clinical outcome after thoracal and lumbar fusion and stabilization surgeries are SVA and PI. &nbsp

Evaluation of Histologic Changes of Facet Joint Cartilage and Nerve at the Sheep Postradiofrequency 60 and 120 Seconds After Exposure for Immediate, Three and Six Weeks

Introduction. Facet joint, also known as zygapophyseal joint, is considered as an important structure to play role as one of source of pain in the back that had been recognized since fifth decade ago. Radio frequency is one of treatment modality based on minimal invasive technique for back pain due to pathology of facet joint. Unfortunately, radiofrequency does not give permanent result, so it must be repeated in certain time. The radiofrequency works by producing heat thus it denervates nerve at facet joint. This heat can also destroy surrounding tissues, such as cartilage of facet joint that will further lead to source of back pain. The purpose of this research to evaluate and compare histology changes of facet joint nerve and cartilage of sheep that performed radiofrequency for different time and exposure. Material and methods. This is an experimental study that uses six sheeps as animal trial test. Radiofrequency was applied for 60 and 120 seconds for immediate, three and six weeks. Towards euthanasia, these sheep were given good care and observed for the effect of radiofrequency. After six weeks, these sheep were performed euthanasia then was evaluated histologically using neuropathology score for the nerve and modified-mankins score for the cartilage. Results. This experimental study showed that neuropathology score differed significantly between groups but for modified-mankin score, no difference was found. Besides, there is no negative effect of radiofrequency to six sheeps such as infection and paralysis of extremity. Conclusions. Radiofrequency does not give rise in infection, paralysis of extremity and death either for exposure 60 and 120 seconds clinically. Radiofrequency does not influence facet joint cartilage, only nerve histologically

KONSTRUKSI SINTAKTIK DAN SEMANTIK IDIOM PADA HARIAN OLAHRAGA TOP SKOR SERTA IMPLIKASINYA PADA PEMBELAJARAN BAHASA INDONESIA KELAS VII SMP NEGERI 118 JAKARTA

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui konstruksi sintaktik dan semantik idiom pada Harian Olahraga Top Skor serta implikasinya pada pembelajaran bahasa Indonesia kelas VII SMP Negeri 118 Jakarta. Metode yang digunakan ialah medote deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik analisis konstruksi sintaktik dan semantik idiom. Pelaksanaan penelitian ini dilakukan pada semester ganjil, yaitu bulan Agustus sampai bulan Januari tahun akademik 2010-2011. Fokus penelitian ini pada konstruksi sintaktik dan semantik idiom pada Harian Olahraga Top Skor yang mencakup bentuk idiom, makna idiom, dan jenis idiom. Objek penelitian ini ialah idiom yang terdapat pada Harian Olahraga Top Skor. Instrumen yang digunakan ialah peneliti sendiri dibantu dengan tabel analisis kerja. Data penelitian berupa 192 kalimat Harian Olahraga Top Skor yang diambil secara acak. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dari 192 kalimat Harian Olahraga Top Skor di dalamnya terdapat 146 idiom. Berdasarkan konstruksi sintaktik, jumlah idiom berbentuk frasa menempati urutan tertinggi dengan jumlah 119 (81,51%). Kemudian, diikuti oleh idiom berbentuk klausa sejumlah 26 (17,81%), sedangkan idiom berbentuk kalimat menduduki urutan bawah dengan jumlah 1 (0,68%). Kecenderungan tertinggi idiom berbentuk frasa karena idiom berbentuk frasa lebih sederhana dari segi konstruksi, sedangkan idiom berbentuk klausa sedikit kompleks. Adapun idiom berbentuk kalimat konstruksinya lebih kompleks maka hanya ditemukan satu data. Berdasarkan hasil analisis konstruksi sintaktik, idiom merupakan konstruksi tetap. Idiom disebut memiliki konstruksi tetap karena unsur konstruksi itu tidak dapat dipisahkan, dimutasi, ataupun disubtitusi. Idiom berbentuk frasa memiliki konstruksi sintaktik antara lain: (1) nomina+nomina, (2) nomina+verba, (3) nomina+adjektiva, (4) nomina+preposisi, (5) verba+nomina, (6) verba+verba, (7) verba+ajektiva, (8) adjektiva+nomina, dan (9) numeralia+nomina. Adapun idiom berbentuk klausa memiliki konstruksi sintaktik antara lain: (1) predikat+objek, (2) predikat+pelengkap, (3) predikat+keterangan, dan (4) predikat+objek+keterangan. Sementara itu, idiom berbentuk kalimat memiliki konstruksi sintaktik: predikat+predikat+keterangan. Atas dasar konstruksi tetap pada idiom tersebut di atas, makna idiom tidak dapat ditafsirkan berdasarkan konstruksi frasa, klausa, ataupun kalimat dan tidak dapat ditafsirkan dari makna leksikal unsur-unsurnya. Konstruksi-konstruksi idiom tersebut membentuk makna baru yang tidak semata-mata terbentuk dari makna leksikal unsur-unsurnya. Makna itu dapat diketahui dari penutur bahasa Indonesia. Idiom itu disebut idiom penuh. Adapun makna idiom yang masih dapat ditelusuri dari makna leksikalnya disebut idiom sebagian. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa idiom penuh lebih banyak muncul (107 idiom atau 73,29%) daripada idiom sebagian (39 idiom atau 26,71%) dalam Harian Olahraga Top Skor. Hal itu membuktikan bahwa idiom merupakan konstruksi tetap seperti halnya kata yang memiliki makna leksikal. Dengan begitu, proses pembelajaran idiom pada SMP Negeri 118 kelas VII Semester I harus dilakukan seperti pembelajaran kosakata bahwa makna itu tidak dimaknai unsur gramatikal

Effects of spatial and feature attention on disparity-rendered structure-from-motion stimuli in the human visual cortex

An important advance in the study of visual attention has been the identification of a non-spatial component of attention that enhances the response to similar features or objects across the visual field. Here we test whether this non-spatial component can co-select individual features that are perceptually bound into a coherent object. We combined human psychophysics and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to demonstrate the ability to co-select individual features from perceptually coherent objects. Our study used binocular disparity and visual motion to define disparity structure-from-motion (dSFM) stimuli. Although the spatial attention system induced strong modulations of the fMRI response in visual regions, the non-spatial system's ability to co-select features of the dSFM stimulus was less pronounced and variable across subjects. Our results demonstrate that feature and global feature attention effects are variable across participants, suggesting that the feature attention system may be limited in its ability to automatically select features within the attended object. Careful comparison of the task design suggests that even minor differences in the perceptual task may be critical in revealing the presence of global feature attention

The Existence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Microenvironment of Bone

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an obligate aerobe bacteria requiring oxygen in its metabolism. In normal condition, bones have pH of 6.9–7.4 and temperature of 37°C. With the composition mentioned, bones fall in the group of tissue with less rich oxygen (<35%) which theoretically means, M. tuberculosis is hard to grow in the bone environment. Bone microliving environment is formed by the cells constructing the bone itself and the active cells which periodically interact with the bone cells. Activation of these cells gives impact to the temperature, pH, gas concentration, and liquid concentration, and at the same time triggers calcium, phosphor, and other minerals to be deposited in the bone. In the process of new bone formation, the osteoblast cells produce matrix and release them to the microenvironment that needs a high concentration of calcium and phosphor. The survival of M. tuberculosis in the microenvironment of bone is reflected in interaction of the bacteria and the non-immune cells, the bacteria and the organic environment, and the bacteria and the inorganic environment. In addition, the immune system also threatens the survival of M. tuberculosis. The results of these interactions will affect the lives of bacteria and has an impact on the bone microenvironment
