Introduction: Surgical versus orthopedic treatments of acromioclavicular disjunction are still debated. The aim of this study was to measure horizontal and vertical acromion's displacement after cutting the ligament using standard X-ray and an opto-electronic system on cadaver.
Materials And Methods: Ten cadaveric shoulders were studied. A sequential ligament's section was operated by arthroscopy. The sequence of cutting was chosen to fit with Rockwood's grade. The displacement of the acromion was measured on standard X-ray and with an opto-electronic system allowing measuring of the horizontal displacement. Statistical comparisons were performed using a paired Student's t test with significance set at p < 0.05.
Results: Cutting the coracoclavicular ligament and delto-trapezius muscles cause a statistical downer displacement of the acromion, but not after sectioning the acromioclavicular ligament. The contact surface between the acromion and the clavicle decreases statistically after sectioning the acromioclavicular ligament and the coracoclavicular ligament with no effect of sectioning the delto-trapezius muscles. Those results are superposing with those dealing with the anterior translation.
Discussion: The measure concerning the acromioclavicular distance and the coracoclavicular distance are superposing with those of Rockwood. However, there is a significant horizontal translation after cutting the acromioclavicular ligament. Taking into account this displacement, it may be interesting to choose either surgical or orthopedic treatment.
Conclusion: There is a correlation between anatomical damage and importance of instability. Horizontal instability is misevaluated in clinical practice.

Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT)-associated dual-state emissive aliphatic dual-light emitting conducting polymers (DLECPs) having oxidation-reduction capacities are prepared polymerizing 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane-1-sulfonic acid, methacrylic acid, and 2-methyl-3-(N-(2-methyl-1-sulfopropan-2-yl)acrylamido)propanoic acid monomers. Of as-synthesized DLECPs, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies, fluorescent enhancements (I/I), and computational investigation indicate intriguing photophysical features in DLECP3 (optimum composition). In DLECP3, ─CONH─, ─CON<, and ─COOH subluminophores are recognized by density-functional theory (DFT)/time-dependent-DFT calculations and experimental investigations.

The preparation of histology slides is a critical step in histopathology, and poor-quality histology slides with weak adhesion of tissue sections to the substrate often affect diagnostic accuracy and sometimes lead to diagnostic failure due to tissue section detachment. This issue has been of concern and some methods have been proposed to enhance tissue-substrate adhesion. Unfortunately, quantitative analysis of the adhesion between tissue sections and glass slides is still challenging.
