Purpose: Image-guided percutaneous drainage for abscesses is known as a safe and effective treatment. The computed tomography-guided percutaneous drainage kit Drainaway (SB Kawasumi Co., Ltd.), developed on the basis of a modified trocar method, has made it possible to complete the procedure only under computed tomography guidance without radiographic fluoroscopy. This study investigated the feasibility and safety of Drainaway for abscess drainage.Material and Methods: In this retrospective observational study, 28 procedures in 27 patients (18 men and 9 women; age 67.0 ± 12.3 years) who underwent computed tomography-guided drainage using Drainaway between March and December 2021 at seven affiliated hospitals were analyzed. Patients with symptomatic, puncturable on computed tomography and refractory abscesses were included. Technical success (successful drainage with computed tomography alone), primary clinical success (successful drainage with Drainaway alone), secondary clinical success (avoidance of surgery), and complications were evaluated.Results: The sites of the abscesses were the intraperitoneal, retroperitoneal, and thoracic cavities in 19, 5, and 2 patients, respectively, and subcutaneous tissue in 1 patient. The mean size of the abscesses was 7.1 ± 3.4 cm. The technical success rate was 96.4%; the ligament of the puncture route could not be penetrated in one case. The primary clinical success rate was 77.8%, whereas the secondary clinical success rate of catheter upsizing or replacement was 96.3%. Complications included one case of biliary pleurisy that required drainage.Conclusions: Drainaway is a useful device that allows abscess drainage using only computed tomography guidance without radiographic fluoroscopy.

Application of hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoparticles to repair damaged enamel has attracted recent attention. In this study, HAp nanoparticles with various morphologies (spherical, short-rod, long-rod and fiber morphologies) were synthesized via chemical precipitation methods without the addition of template molecules, and the adsorption/desorption behaviors of a cationic antibacterial agent, cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), on the HAp nanoparticles were evaluated. The adsorption of CPC on each HAp nanoparticle showed Langmuir-type adsorption, and the short-rod/long-rod HAp nanoparticles showed thermodynamically more stable adsorption of CPC than that with the spherical/fiber HAp nanoparticles. The desorption rate of CPC from the short-rod/long-rod HAp nanoparticles was slower than that of the spherical/fiber HAp nanoparticles. The HAp nanoparticles with different CPC release profiles presented here have potential applications as nanoparticulate enamel repair agents with antibacterial properties.
