Title Alternative Development of Effective Biological Treatment Process for Acid Mine Drainage
FullText URL srfa_109_029_036.pdf
Author Kamimura, Kazuo| Kanao, Tadayoshi|
Abstract Acid mine drainage (AMD) is acidic and generally enriched with iron, aluminum, sulfate and heavy metals, such as lead and cadmium. AMD is a growing problem of emerging concern that cause detrimental effects to the environment and living organisms. Yanahara mine in Misaki Town, Okayama, Japan, had mainly produced pyrite for sulfuric acid manufacture. Although it was closed in 1991, AMD is being generated from the mine now. A passive treatment based on the biological oxidation of ferrous iron is a promising strategy for AMD remediation. AMD from Yanahara mine is treated in a plant using iron-oxidizing bacteria, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Ferrovum spp. The AMD generation continues for several centuries with dramatic consequences on the receiving environments. Therefore, the development of sustainable and cost effective treatment process is required. A development of the effective biological treatment process with an iron oxidation reactor operated at pH 3.5 is described in this report. Economic aspects are also discussed.

Abstract High tibial osteotomy (HTO) procedure is generally contraindicated in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients because synovial inflammation may exacerbate joint damage post-surgery. The natural course of joint destruction in RA changed dramatically with new treatment strategies and the introduction of biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). We report the cases of two RA patients who underwent HTO and whose disease activities were well controlled by bDMARDs. Despite their short follow-up periods, they showed acceptable objective and subjective clinical results. We believe that the combination of bDMARDs and HTO can be indicated for selected RA patients before total knee arthroplasty.

Abstract The patient was a 40-year-old female who had been treated at our hospital for left peroneal tendonitis due to an ankle sprain 2 years earlier. She re-injured that ankle while dancing. The pain in the lateral left foot soon improved, but she had difficulty standing with the left foot in equinus. Complete peroneus longus and brevis tendon ruptures were diagnosed. The ipsilateral semitendinosus and gracilis tendons were harvested and used to reconstruct the tendons. Three months after surgery, the patient was able to stand in equinus, and at 5 months after surgery she resumed her original level of sports activities.

Abstract Medial open- and lateral closed-wedge high tibial osteotomy (hybrid CWHTO) can overcome the limitations of conventional CWHTO and open-wedge HTO (OWHTO) for medial compartmental osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Hybrid CWHTO increases stability by using a rigid locking plate and allows early full weight-bearing. However, the literature contains no information about time to bone union after this new procedure. The aim of this study is to evaluate the time to bone union after hybrid CWHTO. We reviewed 44 knees treated with hybrid CWHTO. Patients were able to stand on both legs on the day after surgery and walked with full weight-bearing within 4 weeks of the procedure. The time to achievement of bone union at the osteotomy site was defined as the number of months until bone union was confirmed on radiographic imaging. The mean time to radiographic confirmation of bone union was 4.5±1.5 months after surgery. Eleven knees (25.0%) required 6 months or more. Radiographic analysis and JOA score improved significantly between before and 1 year after surgery (p<0.01). Hybrid CWHTO is a very useful method for treating medial OA, but radiographic bone union requires 4.5 months on average. We must be aware of bone union after hybrid CWHTO.

Abstract Clinical studies have demonstrated that transtibial pullout repair led to favorable midterm outcomes in patients with medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs) although medial meniscal extrusion (MME) continued to be present. It has been unclear whether these residual postoperative MMEs existed after the pullout repair or had progressed at the very short-term evaluation after surgery. We sought to determine which characteristics of patients with MMPRTs influence the incidence of postoperative MME. The cases of 23 patients whose date of injury was known were analyzed. All patients underwent MMPRT pullout fixation. Preoperative and 3-month postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations were performed. MME was retrospectively assessed on the mid-coronal plane of MRI scans. The preoperative and postoperative MME values were 4.2±1.2 mm and 4.3±1.5 mm, respectively (p=0.559). Pullout repair surgery was performed significantly earlier after the MMPRT-specific injury in patients whose postoperative MME improved compared to the patients whose MME did not improve (p<0.001). Our findings demonstrated that an early transtibial pullout repair of an MMPRT was more effective in reducing MME than a late repair. Surgeons should not miss the optimal timing for the pullout repair of an MMPRT, considering the period from the injury and the preoperative MME.

Abstract Medial meniscus posterior root tear causes rapid knee cartilage degradation by inducing posteromedial displacement of the medial meniscus. We evaluated medial meniscus posterior extrusion before and after pullout repair for medial meniscus posterior root tear using magnetic resonance images. Twenty-eight patients with symptomatic medial meniscus posterior root tear were included. The inclusion criteria were: acute (< 3 months) or chronic (≥3 months) medial meniscus posterior root tear after painful popping events. The exclusion criteria were: other meniscus and anterior cruciate ligament injuries. We measured medial meniscus posterior extrusion and medial meniscus anteroposterior interval at knee flexion angles of 10° and 90° preoperatively and at 3 months postoperatively. The posterior extrusion at 90° knee flexion decreased from 4.42±1.38 mm preoperatively to 3.09±1.06 mm (p<0.001) postoperatively, while at 10° knee flexion it was −4.17±1.63 mm preoperatively and −3.77±1.72mm postoperatively, showing no significant change. The anteroposterior interval at 10° knee flexion increased from 19.74±4.27 mm preoperatively to 22.15±5.10 mm postoperatively (p<0.001); at 90° knee flexion, it increased from 16.81±4.51 mm preoperatively to 19.20±4.30 mm postoperatively (p<0.001). Medial meniscus posterior extrusion and movement decreased after pullout repair. Pullout repair for medial meniscus posterior root tear improves medial meniscus posterior extrusion, especially at 90° knee flexion.

Abstract Gender dysphoria is a condition in which a discrepancy between biological sex and gender identity causes distress. Many female-to-male transsexuals (FTMTS) are uncomfortable with female breasts. Chest wall contouring surgery is effective for obtaining a male-type chest, reducing mental stress, and increasing sexual satisfaction in such cases. At the Okayama University Hospital Gender Center, we have obtained positive results using an algorithm to determine the most appropriate surgical method for chest wall contouring in FTMTS patients. However, serious complications requiring reoperation, such as hematoma, may still occur. Postoperative hematomas were found in 15 (4.18%) of 358 FTMTS patients who underwent chest contouring surgery at our hospital between 2006 and 2018. Postoperative hematoma was examined retrospectively. The median time to the onset of hematoma was 7 (6-12) h after the initial surgery. The main blood vessels causing bleeding were those in the head-side skin flap region where visual confirmation was difficult and the perforator vessels from the pectoralis major muscle. Intraoperative bleeding and the operation time had a significant impact on the onset of postoperative hematoma. This is the first retrospective study that investigated the blood vessels and other factors contributing to postoperative hematoma development after chest wall contouring.

Abstract Laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) is a standard surgical treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer and high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. LRC is a less invasive modality than conventional open surgery. Therefore, even elderly patients with invasive bladder cancer may be candidates for LRC. In this study, a comparative analysis of perioperative/oncological outcomes between elderly patients and younger patients who underwent LRC was performed to assess the feasibility of LRC in elderly patients. Sixty-eight consecutive patients who underwent LRC between October 2013 and March 2018 were enrolled and stratified into those younger than 75 years (n=37) and those ≥ 75 years old (n=31). The median follow-up period was 28.2 months. The preoperative and operative parameters and complications were similar in both groups. The 2-year overall survival (OS) was 64.4% in the younger vs. 76.4% in the elderly group (p=0.053), cancer-specific survival (CSS) was 79.3% vs. 81.7% (p=0.187), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) was 58.2% vs. 75.7% (p=0.174), respectively. No significant differences were observed in OS, CSS, or RFS between the groups. No significant differences were found between the groups with respect to peri-surgical/oncological outcomes. We conclude that LRC is feasible in elderly patients.
