    Abstract During exercise, skeletal muscle is exposed to a low oxygen condition, hypoxia. Under hypoxia, the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is stabilized and induces expressions of its target genes regulating glycolytic metabolism. Here, using a skeletal muscle-specific gene ablation mouse model, we show that Brg1/Brm-associated factor 155 (Baf155), a core subunit of the switch/sucrose non-fermentable (SWI/SNF) complex, is essential for HIF-1α signaling in skeletal muscle. Muscle-specific ablation of Baf155 increases oxidative metabolism by reducing HIF-1α function, which accompanies the decreased lactate production during exercise. Furthermore, the augmented oxidation leads to high intramuscular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level and results in the enhancement of endurance exercise capacity. Mechanistically, our chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis reveals that Baf155 modulates DNA-binding activity of HIF-1α to the promoters of its target genes. In addition, for this regulatory function, Baf155 requires a phospho-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (pSTAT3), which forms a coactivator complex with HIF-1α, to activate HIF-1α signaling. Our findings reveal the crucial role of Baf155 in energy metabolism of skeletal muscle and the interaction between Baf155 and hypoxia signaling.

    Abstract This case study systematically assessed diverse approaches to sinus augmentation in the presence of sinus pathology. Three patients were carefully selected and categorized as pseudocyst (PsC) (type 1), mucous retention cyst (MRC) smaller than 20 mm (type 2), and MRC larger than 20 mm in size (type 3). All patients underwent sinus augmentation procedures, with each case utilizing a unique surgical approach. Spontaneous drainage was performed for the patient with PsC (type 1), followed by uncomplicated sinus augmentation. For the patient with an MRC smaller than 20 mm (type 2), aspiration of the cyst contents preceded sinus augmentation. Conversely, the patient with a larger MRC (type 3) underwent cyst enucleation followed by sinus augmentation after complete recovery of the sinus membrane. No complications were noted in any of the cases, and follow-up revealed stable implant installation at the site of sinus augmentation. Within the constraints of this study, the choice of surgical procedure, whether involving spontaneous drainage, aspiration, or enucleation, should be guided by an anticipated pathologic diagnosis and the size of the sinus cyst. This informed approach empowers clinicians to make well-informed decisions for the best possible outcomes and sustained results. Overall, this study offers valuable insights for clinicians seeking to optimize sinus augmentation procedures in the presence of sinus pathology.

    Abstract Rationale: Although lower-extremity surgeries are mainly performed under general or central neuraxial anesthesia, ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block (PNB) can be a good alternative, especially for patients who require continuous anticoagulation treatment and present with poor cardiovascular conditions.
    Patients concerns: The patient required continuous anticoagulation treatment due to the high risk of thromboembolism and poor cardiovascular conditions.
    Diagnoses: The patient required lower-extremity amputation due to atherosclerotic and thromboembolic obstruction.
    Interventions: We decided to progress the operation under peripheral nerve block. The sciatic, femoral, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and anterior branch of the obturator nerve were blocked under ultrasound guidance. Sixty ml of a local anesthetic (equal mix of 1% lidocaine and 0.375% ropivacaine) was administered for the block.
    Outcomes: Sufficient sensory block at the area of amputation was obtained, and the patient's vital signs were stable throughout surgery.
    Lessons: Ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block can be an excellent anesthetic technique for patients receiving radical surgery at the proximal lower extremities, especially patients who are critically ill and considered high risk.

    Abstract Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the effects of combining pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment and transforaminal epidural injection (TFEI) to treat patients with chronic refractory lumbar radicular pain caused by lumbar spinal stenosis.
    Study design: Randomized control trial.
    Settings: Interventional pain management practice.
    Method: Sixty-two patients were assigned to the study groups (PRF group = 31; control group = 31). Under fluoroscopic guidance, the RF needle was positioned close to the lumbar dorsal root ganglion. The PRF group received 3 cycles of PRF treatment, and sensory stimulation without RF lesioning was applied to the control group. After PRF or sham lesioning, a local anesthetic with steroid was injected. The primary outcome of a successful response was defined as: 1) ≥50% or 4-point pain reduction in the numerical rating scale (NRS) without an increase in the Oswestry disability index (ODI) or medication quantification scale (MQS), or mean score <4 in the global perceived effect (GPE) scale; or 2) ≥30% or 2-point pain reduction in NRS with a simultaneous decrease in ODI, MQS, or ≥6 points in the GPE scale.
    Result: The number of patients with successful treatment results was higher in the PRF group at 2 months (P = 0.032) and 3 months (P = 0.018). No significant differences were observed in terms of the secondary outcome variables between the 2 groups.
    Conclusion: The TFEI provided significant short-term pain relief and PRF can be applied in conjunction with TFEI to achieve higher treatment efficacy compared with TFEI alone.

    Abstract Geodes are noted frequently in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but large geodes of the femur are uncommon. We describe a patient with RA and a large geode in his femur; histological findings were consistent with a rheumatoid nodule and chronically inflamed synovium. We review the literature of large femoral geodes and what this particular manifestation may reflect about the pathogenesis of RA.

    Abstract The psoas-to-lumbar index (PLVI) has been reported as a simple and easy way to measure central sarcopenia. However, only few studies have evaluated the association between PLVI and survival in surgical patients. This study evaluated the association between preoperative PLVI and mortality in elderly patients who underwent hip fracture surgery. We retrospectively analyzed 615 patients who underwent hip fracture surgery between January 2014 and December 2018. The median value of each PLVI was calculated according to sex, and the patients were categorized into two groups on the basis of the median value (low PLVI group vs. high PLVI group). Cox regression analysis was performed to evaluate the risk factors for 1 year and overall mortalities. The median values of PLVI were 0.62 and 0.50 in men and women, respectively. In the Cox regression analysis, low PLVI was significantly associated with higher 1 year (hazard ratio (HR): 1.87, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.18-2.96,
