    Abstract Dans les recherches antérieures sur les articles, il est communément admis que le défini présente le référent comme déjà connu, alors que l’indéfini présente le référent comme non identifiable par l’interlocuteur. Or, il existe des cas où l’indéfini est employé pour un référent identifiable par l’interlocuteur, comme dans « Parce qu’une petite fille a vu ou a cru voir le Père Noël, il y a une demi-heure que vous me questionnez comme si j’avais commis un crime. » (Simenon, Un Noël de Maigret) Par ailleurs, linguistes et philosophes séparent la lecture spécifique et la lecture non-spécifique pour l’indéfini dans les contextes opaques, tandis que Donnellan propose la distinction entre usage référentiel et usage attributif pour le défini. Dans cet article, nous montrerons que l’indéfini qui est employé pour un référent déjà connu est un indéfini spécifique et attributif et que ce type d’indéfini apparaît toujours dans un contexte conflictuel avec une valeur polémique. Se dégage de notre analyse que l’indéfini en question effectue une opération d’attribution ainsi qu’une opération de reclassification ou redéfinition d’un référent : si le locuteur emploie l’indéfini pour un référent parfaitement identifié, c’est qu’il entend remettre en question la classe à laquelle appartient son référent. Et c’est justement cette opération de reclassification ou redéfinition en tant que telle qui signale un contexte conflictuel et du même coup une valeur polémique.

    Abstract Evidence shows that people tend to behave prosocially when they are in the presence of images depicting eyes. There are two proximate causes of the eyes effect. One involves positive motivation to gain future reward and the other involves negative motivation to avoid violating a norm. Although several studies have suggested that positive motivation is a strong candidate, these studies were unable to distinguish between adherence to norms and prosocial behavior. We investigated the watching-eyes effect in an experimental setting to determine whether the tendency of humans to violate norms voluntarily could be understood as prosocial behavior. We compared the tendency to tell "prosocial lies" in the presence of a depiction of stylized eyes (eyes condition) with that involving no such depiction (control condition). Under the control condition, participants tended to tell lies that benefitted others, whereas the tendency toward prosocial lying disappeared under the eyes condition. This suggests that the desire to avoid violating norms by being honest is stronger than the desire to pursue a good reputation by demonstrating generosity when such violation might lead to serious costs.

    Abstract Moral emotion is thought to have evolved to guide our behavior and control our impulse to achieve immediate rewards, thus serving to enforce pro-social behavior. Guilt, one of the moral emotions, is a social, other-oriented emotion that is experienced primarily in interpersonal situations, although it may also be experienced in non-interpersonal situations. We predicted that the intensity of the sense of guilt would differ depending on the relationship between a witness and the person who performed the antisocial behavior because building a good reputation plays an important role in the evolution of reciprocal altruism through indirect reciprocity. Participants were asked to imagine that they had been observed by a third party while committing five kinds of moral transgression based on moral foundation theory, and to describe the intensity of their sense of guilt when witnessed by parents, a cordial friend, a neighbor, or a stranger. The intensity of guilt was significantly lower when the act was witnessed by a stranger regardless of the moral foundation involved. The effects of the kind of witness, however, differed for each moral foundation. The results support the hypothesis that guilt functions to guide our behavior, to achieve cooperation.

    Abstract Objectives: The pathology of de Quervain's disease affects the tenosynovium and rarely the tendons. The ultrasonographic features of de Quervain's disease unresponsive to conservative treatment are unknown. The purpose of this study was to describe and compare the morphological differences between patients with de Quervain's disease that is refractory to conservative treatment and patients who respond to conservative treatment.
    Methods: de Quervain's disease unresponsive to conservative treatment was evaluated in 51 patients. The bilateral wrists underwent preoperative ultrasonographic assessments. The asymptomatic side was presumed to be the patient's anatomical baseline and was used for comparison. We measured the diameter and cross-sectional area of the tendons of the abductor pollicis longus (APL) and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB), and the thickness of the tendon sheath and the intercompartmental septum, if present. The affected side and asymptomatic side were compared.
    Results: The APL and EPB cross-sectional area was significantly larger on the affected side than on the asymptomatic side (APL: 13 mm
    Conclusions: The ultrasonographic features of de Quervain's disease requiring surgical treatment were a significantly thickened tendon sheath, an intercompartmental septum, and increased cross-sectional area of the APL and EPB.

    Abstract Background: Postoperative surgical site infections (SSIs) are an important complication to prevent in surgical treatment. Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have a higher risk of SSIs. Preoperative glycemic control is required. For patients with orthopedic trauma, the duration of preoperative glycemic control is limited because delaying operative treatment is difficult. However, whether preoperative glycemic control would decrease the risk of SSIs in diabetic patients with lower extremity fractures is unclear. The first aim of this study was to investigate the rate of SSIs among patients with DM who had undergone preoperative glycemic control, compared with that of patients without DM. As the secondary aim, we sought to demonstrate among patients with DM whether preoperative glycemic control would affect the development of SSIs between patients with controlled DM and patients with poorly controlled DM.
    Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 1510 patients treated surgically for lower extremity fractures were enrolled. Data collected were patient age, sex, body mass index, history of DM, development of SSIs, tobacco use, the presence of an open fracture, the period between the day of injury and the operation, the length of surgery, and blood glucose levels on admission and on the day before surgery.
    Results: The rate of total SSIs was 6.0% among patients with DM and 4.4% among patients without DM (p = 0.31). Multivariate logistic regression revealed a significant association between the development of SSIs and the presence of DM (odds ratio, 1.79; 95% confidence interval 1.01-3.19; p = 0.047). The results of the secondary study revealed that the rate of early SSIs was significantly higher in the poorly controlled DM group than in the controlled DM group (5.9% vs. 1.5%; p = 0.032). However, multivariate logistic regression revealed that control levels of DM were not significantly associated with the development of SSIs.
    Conclusions: Even though patients with DM had undergone preoperative glycemic control, SSIs were significantly associated with DM, especially when the patients had poorly controlled DM. This finding suggested that continuous glycemic control is important preoperatively and postoperatively to prevent SSIs.

    Abstract Aim: Patients with hip fractures have a high rate of mortality or decreased mobility, despite early operative treatment and rehabilitation. The first aim of this study was to investigate the factors of decreased walking ability after hip fracture based on whether walking ability was or was not maintained postoperatively. The second aim was to examine the usefulness of the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment 7 (CGA7), modified from the conventional Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment, for predicting postoperative walking ability.
    Methods: This study included patients who were treated surgically for hip fractures. We divided patients by whether they did or did not maintain their walking ability postoperatively. We registered the following demographic data: walking ability preadmission and at discharge, CGA7 score, cognitive impairment, the patient's prefracture status, fracture type, surgical waiting time, hospital stay duration, limitation of weight-bearing, postoperative complications, transfer to rehabilitation hospital, final living place, and follow-up period. The characteristics of the two groups were compared using Wilcoxon's rank-sum test, the chi-squared test, or Fisher's exact test.
    Results: Among 855 patients, 616 (73.0%) patients maintained walking ability and 239 (27.0%) patients did not. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that the factors of age, sex, preoperative walking ability, and postoperative complications were significantly associated with maintaining postoperative walking ability. Furthermore, the higher the CGA7 score, the more likely were patients to maintain their walking ability (odds ratio, 0.72; 95% confidence interval, 0.61-0.85; P < 0.001).
    Conclusions: Patients who had a low CGA7 score had the potential risk of decreased walking ability. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2023; 23: 830-835.

    Abstract Purpose: The first aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of ulnar styloid fractures (USFs) accompanied by distal radius fractures (DRFs), treated with volar locking plates. The fracture type of DRFs was evaluated by the classifications, based on computed tomography (CT) scan findings. The second aim was to investigate the bone union rate of USFs, depending on the fracture type of DRFs, by comparing union and nonunion groups in the USFs groups.
    Methods: Between May 2012 and December 2019, 239 consecutive patients with DRFs were treated. Of these patients, 177 DRFs met inclusion criteria. The fracture patterns of the DRFs, based on the classification, using CT scans, which included the AO classification, sagittal angulation, and axial fracture patterns of the articular surface of the distal radius in two-part intra-articular fractures were evaluated. The size of USFs, classified as a tip or base fracture was also investigated.
    Results: The incidence of USFs was significantly higher for AO types A and C than for type B. Analysis of the sagittal angulation of DRFs showed that the incidence of USFs was higher for the extension type than for the flexion type. Axial CT classification of two-part fractures revealed that DRFs with a dorsal fracture line was more frequent than the volar type of DRFs. These results suggested that dorsal displacement of DRFs was associated with a higher incidence of USFs. Finally, the analysis of the bone union rate of USFs revealed that AO classification and sagittal angulation were not correlated with bone union in USFs. However, it was found that a fracture line on the radial side of the radius had a significantly low rate of bone union, compared to a fracture line on the dorsal side. The size of USFs was also not correlated with the bone union rate.
    Conclusions: The incidence and the bone union rate of USFs have different patterns. The incidence of USFs was higher in the dorsal displacement type of DRFs. However, the bone union rate of USFs was lower for a fracture line on the radial side. Therefore, USFs with DRFs that have a fracture line on the radial side is a candidate for fixation to prevent nonunion.

    Abstract Introduction: Vascular malformation can present as nerve compression syndrome in middle age due to slow lesion growth, after first appearing in childhood. In a case of vascular malformation involving the peripheral nerve, surgical resection may cause uncontrollable hemorrhage and further nerve compression. Therefore, a more conservative approach is needed in such cases.
    Case presentation: A 48-year-old woman complained of pain and paresthesia of the fingers, and was diagnosed with a large vascular malformation expanding from the proximal forearm to the palm on MRI. Because of the size of the lesion and involvement of soft tissue, resection had a risk of major hemorrhage and incomplete removal. Thus, carpal tunnel release was performed as a less invasive procedure, and was effective for reducing pain while avoiding the risks associated with resection.
    Discussion: Our case indicates that a vascular lesion is a possible cause of nerve compression in the carpal tunnel. Finger numbness and pain were caused by this nerve compression, but the lesion itself was not painful. The median nerve was separate from the venous structure, and the case was diagnosed as an extraneural type.
    Conclusion: Symptoms that develop in middle age due to an extraneural vascular malformation in the carpal tunnel can be treated successfully using carpal tunnel release, instead of more invasive resection of the lesion.

    Abstract Traumatic elbow injuries often result in wounds and exposure of the nerves, tendons, and bone with defects in the soft tissue. A severe type of wind swept injury causes loss of the capitellum and radial collateral ligament (RCL), which leads to severe instability of the elbow. For reconstructing a defect of the capitellum and RCL, we applied an autogenous iliac bone graft with the fascia of the tensor fasciae latae muscle, which has never been reported with successful results. This bone-tendon unit may be a strong candidate for the reconstruction of defects of the radiocapitellar joint in a wind swept injury.
