3.Small Bowel Endoscopic Bariatric Therapies.
Clinical Endoscopy 2018;51(5):425-429
Endoscopic bariatric therapies that emulate some of the principles of bariatric surgery have been developed as a less invasive option for the treatment of obesity and related comorbidities. Small bowel endoscopic bariatric therapies include bypass sleeves, incisionless anastomosis systems, and duodenal mucosal resurfacing. Clinical experience with small bowel devices suggests that endoscopic bariatric procedures can be safely implemented and that these devices are effective for both weight loss and metabolic improvement. Although the mechanisms behind these effects should be further elucidated, endoscopic bariatric therapies may be more effective and safer adjunctive interventions than lifestyle modifications and pharmacological regimens for patients with obesity or obesity-related comorbidities.

PURPOSE: To compare the radiological and clinical results between intramedullary nailing and plate fixation in the treatment of distal tibial fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 19 cases of distal tibial metaphyseal fractures within 4 cm of the ankle joint line were enrolled. Ten patients were treated with interlocking intramedullary nail and the others with plate and screws. RESULTS: The mean union time was 14 weeks in nailing group and 16 weeks in plate group. The average angulation in AP view was 4.1 degrees in nailing group and 3.1 degrees in plate group. The average angulation in lateral view was 1.7 degrees in nailing group and 2.7 degrees in plate group. The rotational deformity was 2.8 degrees in nailing group and 1.7 degrees in plate group in average. There was no implant failure and soft tissue problem. CONCLUSION: There was no difference in clinical and radiological results between intramedullary nailing and plate in the treatment of the distal tibial fractures and, considering the preservation of the soft tissue, the intramedullary nails are a reliable method for managing distal metaphyseal fractures of the tibia.

PURPOSE: To report a primary surgical repair of a severe corneal laceration, a lens prolapse and a traumatic aniridia by blunt trauma in Terrien's marginal degeneration. METHODS: A 46-year-old female visited our hospital for corneal laceration due to a blunt trauma of the right eye. A primary corneal suture was done and 8 days later, amniotic membrane transplantation was performed. RESULTS: The perforated eyeball regained its integrity with a stabilized cornea. Also, the anterior chamber was reformed and visual acuity improved. CONCLUSIONS: In the first case of Terrien's marginal degeneration in the right eye, which had a 360-degree iridodialysis(aniridia) with aphakia due to blunt traumatic separation of the iris root from the ciliary body. We achived a good operative result with primary corneal suture and amniotic membrane transplantation.

PURPOSE: To investigte the extrusion rate of punctal plugs and to evaluate their long-term effectiveness related to punctal occlusion. METHODS: The subjects were 120 eyes of 60 patients with tear-deficient dry eye who underwent punctal occlusion using a silicone punctal plug from May 2003 to Jun 2004. They were followed up for 382.3+/-164.3 days. We studied the extrusion rate and the period of extrusion for each plug and examined the differences between the objective and subjective indicators of dry eye syndrome before and after plug insertion and between extruded and non-extruded punctal plugs. RESULTS: In this study, 25.8% of all plugs were extruded during the follow-up period. The majority of plugs (41.9%) were extruded within 100 days after plug insertion. As objective indicators, results of Schirmer test and BUT were significantly increased after plug insertion. As subjective indicators, the patients' clinical symptoms significantly improved. Patient use of artificial tear drops significantly decreased and was discontinued by 70.8% after plug insertion. There were however no significant differences between the extrusion group and the non-extrusion group in each case. CONCLUSIONS: Punctal plug occlusion therapy for tear-deficient dry eye is effective, but the extrusion rate is relatively high. Regardless of punctal plug extrusion, patients experienced a symptomatic improvement. Serious consideration of this fact may greatly aid in making therapeutic adaptations and maintaining a good relationship.

Pilomatricoma is a benign tumor differentiating towards the hair matrix. Perforation may rarely take place with extrusion of part of the contents. A 3-year-old girl presented with a 5×6 mm sized, erythematous, elevated and indurated mass with a tiny horny projection on its surface, on her righ,t upper arm. It had been present for one year. Histopathologically, there were several islands of epithelial cells in the upper to mid-dermis composed of basophilic, shadow and transitional cells. A few tumor islands adjacent to the epidermis were in the course of a characteristic transepithelial elimination process.
