Objective: Preoperative factors related to perceived leg length discrepancy (PLLD) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) are not well studied. This study aimed to examine the preoperative factors, including hip abductor modulus, related to PLLD one month after THA. Methods: The study included 73 patients diagnosed with osteoarthritis secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip and a posterior approach to surgery. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed using the presence or absence of PLLD as the dependent variable and preoperative hip abductor's modulus of elasticity, pain, hip abduction range of motion, hip abductor muscle strength and pelvic obliquity as the independent variable. Additionally, receiver operating characteristic curves were used for the extracted variables for calculating the cutoffs, sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve (AUC) to determine the presence or absence of PLLD. The significance level was set at p<0.05. Results: The hip abductor modulus (odds ratio=1.13; 95% confidence interval=1.06-1.21; p<0.001) was selected as a preoperative factor. The cutoff value to determine the presence or absence of a PLLD was 16.32 kPa. The sensitivity and specificity were 81.8% and 72.5%, respectively, and the AUC was 0.8137. Conclusion: The hip abductor muscle elastic modulus affected PLLD one month after THA. If the preoperative hip abductor elastic modulus is higher than the cutoff value, it may affect the appearance of PLLD at one month postoperatively.

Background:Smoking cessation reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and improves clinical outcomes in public health. We studied the effect of smoking cessation on high-density lipoprotein (HDL) functionality.Methods and Results:We randomly treated 32 smokers with varenicline or a transdermal nicotine patch as part of a 12-week smoking cessation program (The VN-SEESAW Study). The plasma lipid profiles, plasma and HDL malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, HDL subfractions as analyzed by capillary isotachophoresis, cholesterol efflux capacity, and antiinflammatory activity of HDL were measured before and after the anti-smoking intervention. After smoking cessation, HDL-C, apoA-I levels and HDL subfractions were not significantly different from the respective baseline values. However, cholesterol efflux capacity and the HDL inflammatory index (HII) were significantly improved after smoking cessation. The changes in both parameters (%∆ cholesterol efflux capacity and ∆HII) were also significantly improved in the successful smoking cessation group compared with the unsuccessful group. The changes in cholesterol efflux capacity and HII also correlated with those in end-expiratory CO concentration and MDA in HDL, respectively.Conclusions:Our findings indicate that smoking cessation leads to improved HDL functionality, increased cholesterol efflux capacity and decreased HII, without changing HDL-C or apoA-I levels or HDL subfractions. This may be one of the mechanisms by which smoking cessation improves the risk of CVD.
