    Abstract Anorexia, depression, and vomiting are the common adverse effects of chemotherapy in humans and animals. Mirtazapine is primarily used as an appetite stimulant and antiemetic in dogs and cats. Therefore, we evaluated the efficacy of mirtazapine in reducing the gastrointestinal adverse effects in cats receiving doxorubicin chemotherapy. This single-masked, placebo-controlled crossover study enrolled 11 cats with malignant mammary gland tumors. The cats were randomly assigned to receive either mirtazapine (1.88 mg/cat) or placebo every 48 h for 2 weeks from the first initiation of doxorubicin chemotherapy. Each cat was then crossed over to the alternate group on the subsequent chemotherapy with a 1-week wash-out period. The owners were asked to record appetite score, activity score, episodes of vomiting and diarrhea for 2 weeks after each doxorubicin administration. Cats treated with mirtazapine showed significantly increased bodyweight compared with those on placebo (P = 0.010). The appetite and activity scores during mirtazapine treatment was significantly higher than those during placebo treatment (P = 0.005 and 0.018, respectively). Furthermore, the prevalence of episodes of vomiting during mirtazapine treatment was significantly lower than that during placebo treatment (P = 0.026). Our results demonstrate that mirtazapine can significantly increase bodyweight, appetite, and activity and reduce vomiting in cats after doxorubicin chemotherapy.

    Abstract This study developed liquid reference materials containing various metals, to be used for quality assurance of radiation measurements of the most common metallic wastes generated during the operation or decommissioning of nuclear power plants. The liquid reference materials were prepared by assuming the dissolution of stainless-steel using acid and melting of the major metals present in the stainless steel, namely Fe, Ni, Cr, and Mn, along with the standard sources (

    Abstract Introduction: Because of the ageing population in Hong Kong, there is an increasing incidence of total knee arthroplasties (TKA) conducted in patients aged >80 years.
    Methods: This retrospective case-control study enrolled all patients who were aged >80 years and underwent fast-track primary TKA between 2011 and 2015. Their outcomes were compared with the outcomes of a matched control group of younger patients who underwent fast-track TKA in the same period.
    Results: In total, 220 patients were included in this study with a follow-up period of at least 2 years (mean=3.2 years; range, 2-5 years); 112 (51%) were octogenarians and 108 (49%) were non-octogenarians. Greater improvement in Knee Society Score was found in the octogenarian group at 1 year after surgery (46 ± 19 vs 39 ± 16, P=0.018). The incidence of complications was higher in the octogenarian group (15.2% vs 4.6%, P=0.009). There were no significant differences in the incidence of major complications, the rate of intensive care unit admission, or the 1-year mortality rate between the two groups. After adjustment for confounding factors, Charlson Comorbidity Index >5, history of major cerebrovascular accident, and history of peptic ulcer disease were predictive of complications after fast-track TKA (P=0.039, P=0.016, and P=0.007, respectively); octogenarian status was not predictive of complications.
    Conclusions: Octogenarians had greater improvement in Knee Society Score at 1 year after fast-track TKA, compared with non-octogenarians, but there were no significant differences in the incidences of mortality or major complications.

    Abstract Aim: To evaluate the technical feasibility and safety of percutaneous recanalisation of benign postoperative hepaticojejunostomy strictures using the reverse end of a microwire.
    Materials and methods: Twenty-one patients with benign postoperative hepaticojejunostomy strictures that had failed to recanalise following management with conventional percutaneous techniques from January 2012 to March 2019 were included in the study. The stricture was punctured by the reverse end of a microwire. Subsequently, serial balloon dilatation and covered stent placement was performed. Technical as well as clinical success, complications, and patency of the hepaticojejunostomy were evaluated.
    Results: Technical success was achieved in 19 of 21 (90.5%) patients. The mean number of treatment sessions was 1.2 (range, 1-2). The obstructive symptoms were resolved within 3 days after the procedure in 19 patients (100%). There were no major complications. The 1-year and 3-year patency rates were 76.9% and 61.5%, respectively.
    Conclusion: Percutaneous recanalisation using the reverse end of a microwire is technically feasible and safe in the treatment of benign postoperative hepaticojejunostomy strictures. This technique is useful when the conventional percutaneous technique cannot be used to cross the stricture.
