Article Quality Tracking-Peer-Review

"The authors of this article stated that infection after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is rare, with staphylococci found in more than 90% of cases. They presented an exceptional case of Salmonella infection after ACLR. The patient presented with subacute septic arthritis, 26 days after a hamstring autograft ACLR. The pathogen, Salmonella enterica typhimurium was isolated by bacteriological sampling of the first arthroscopic lavage. Their message was very clear: It is paramount to make an early diagnosis and management by means of arthroscopic washing for acute infections or arthrotomy for late infections and appropriate antibiotic therapy. It is crucial to prevent arthritis-related joint cartilage destruction and to protect the graft."

"This article presents an interesting strategy to detect senior orthopedic surgerons with lack of surgical skills due to their age. In fact, they have shown that the strategy of using skill-based simulations in evaluating non-medical professionals can be similarly utilzed as part of the evaluation of the ageing surgeons’ surgical competency, showing who may need remediation or retirement."

"This clinical study examined the factors that predict patient reported outcome measures in patients with symptomatic, full-thickness rotator cuff tears who were treated non-surgically. It was found that patients with full thickness rotator cuff tears can achieve and maintain clinically meaningful benefit from non-surgical management through 2-year follow-up. Female patients, smokers, and those with significant subscapularis fatty infiltration tended to have lower overall WORC scores at 1-year follow-up, and females also have lower WORC scores at 2-year follow-up. Patients presenting with symptoms greater than 1 year had less clinical improvement at 1-year follow-up, and those with traumatic tears had greater clinical improvement at 2-year follow-up. This information will be very useful for orthopedic surgeons treating this type of injuries without surgery."

"This important study (in vivo model of osteoporosis) found that some types of porous acetabular components are more compatible with osteoporotic bone. Their authors compared four important biomaterials [TTM, CONCELOC, Zimmer Biomet's Trabecular Metal (TANTALUM), and ATLANT]. TANTALUM, TTM, and CONCELOC had equal bone-implant osseointegration in osteoporotic bone. ATLANT had significantly decreased osseointegration in osteoporotic bone. The results of this paper are useful to help orthopedic surgeons select the more adequate acetabular component for hip replacement in patients with osteoporosis. "

"This interesting review paper on fractures of an ossification of the Achilles tendon showed that nonoperative treatment may offer acceptable outcomes for the elderly; however, the authiors stated that surgical treatment must be advised in younger patients. They also stated that once the fractured mass is removed, repairing the tendon is only applicable if the remnant is enough. However, if there is a defect after the excision, reconstruction with autografts or adjacent tendon transfer must be carried out. The conclusion was that functional result is usually satisfactory."

"The authors of this article performed a good review of the recent literature. They found that LUKA was associated with excellent long-run clinical results and implant survivorship when carred out in properly selected patients. They also observed that the most common cause of failure and need for revision were osteoarthritis progression and aseptic loosening. Moreover, despite the need for an occasional revision procedure, the survivorship of LUKA was comparable to MUKA. However, let me suggest the authors to publish their clinical experience with LUKA (patients)."

"The authors of this paper made an excellent review of slacklining therapeutic exercise and explained why it may positively affect patients with NSLBP, due to MF-AMI induced depletion of spinal stabilization. The strength of their article was to teach orthopedic surgeons the current role of the aforementioned tecnnique. However, let me suggest them to publish their experience with this tyoe of exercise in clinical practice (patients)."

"This review is about the interferon signalling pathways and mechanisms that eliminate the cccDNA so that no active template remains for HBV to reactivate. Induction of ISGs may degrade cccDNA and render it transcriptonally silent by recruiting epigenetic modifiers. This novel approach may have future implications in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. The results of the review are interesting and authentic, the tables and Figures are well designed, the language is correct and concisely expressed."

"It is an interesting study on NA cessation after HBeAg loss. Predictors for a atable virological response after NAs cessation, were shown to be the low hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) titers < 100 IU/mL and extended consolidation periods (≥ 24 mo) on antiviral treatment. The results are authentic, the statistical data are acceptable, the references are related to scientific content and the language is correct and concisely expressed. "

"The authors seem to deal with an important topic carrying on HCV cure in pediatric patient. The study rational, aim and research motivation are relevant and enough well stated. The bibliographic search method seems to be omitted as well as the search date or period. The findings and/or conclusion answer to the study aim to a degree: “No pediatric studies with the children completing the DAA therapy has revealed evidence of children being unresponsive to DAA therapies. However, for patients with evidence of high-grade fibrosis or cirrhosis, they are still at high risk of developing HCC even after achieving SVR. Solid organ transplant from HCV infected recipients appears to be safe, is associated with excellent outcomes, and should be considered for recipients who would benefit from receiving an organ earlier than they would if they waited for an organ from an uninfected donor. Thus, reducing wait-list associated mortality. While no studies has been performed, based on the efficacy of DAA therapy in children, using HCV-infected donors should be an option. As children will now have access to DAA therapies and potential HCV cure, it is imperative that diagnosis and treatment of this population is not overlooked. A related issue is for patients with chronic liver disease to avoid COVID-19 exposure and infection, by educating patients/parents on the risk and the recommended precautions cure, it is imperative that diagnosis and treatment of this population is not overlooked. This is especially true in rare cases of children with cirrhosis or end stage liver disease secondary to HCV, as there appears to be a higher risk of a severe course of COVID-19. This pandemic should not be a hindrance to continuing the goal of eradication of HCV in the pediatric population. Enhanced screening and awareness efforts and continued education of healthcare providers will improve the outcomes of HCV infection in the pediatric population”. This review may be an informative and useful document for students, clinicians and researchers a fortiori those working in pediatric or hepatology field. However we have some observations to make: The authors noticed in Page 6-13: 1. “Introduction”: you noticed “Non- , Non-B Hepatitis”. I think that you omitted the “A” related to hepatitis A. You should write Non-A,….”. 2. “Epidemiology”: you noticed “All 6 HCV genotypes…”. However, to date 8 genotypes are identified for HCV. 3. “Natural history”: “Albeit uncommon, progression to cirrhosis has been described and…”. This sentence may be reformulated for better readability and comprehension. 4. “Improving the cascade or care”: ”KHAMP has trained primary care providers on HCV epidemiology, diagnosis, management…”. This sentence may be reformulated, because the word "management" means prevention, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring or follow up. 5. “Conclusion”: “…a major impact on health care outcomes for patients of all ages…including…”. In this sentence "...including" may be replaced by "a fortiori". "

"Very Interesting paper and provide novel data."

"This manuscript is a good collection of results that aim to determine the impact of hyper-transfusion on long term survival in pediatric living donor liver transplantation. Overall, the information are well collected. However, there are some important issues I would like to emphasize. 1. Method: The authors need to clarify what is (are) the primary outcomes of the study and what are the secondary outcomes of the study. The other minor findings can be described in the results but the discussion should be based on the outcomes of interest. 2. Results: Since hyper-transfusion may be the cause of an excess ten year mortality or an epiphenomenon (difficult patients, difficult medical care etc), the authors need to perform additional competing risk analysis to define the impact of hyper-transfusion on the ten year patient survival. As to the result, hyper-transfusion is significantly associated with 30 day reoperation and 30 day excess mortality, this factor need to be consider as a competing risk for long term survival. In addition, the impact of other set of risk factors should be analyzed for the association with ten year survival. 3. Discussion: Need to be reorganized according to the revised method and results. 4. The impact of hyper-transfusion on the outcome of pediatric living donor transplantation should be clearly stated. 5. Tables 3 and 5 . The information can be limited to what are related with the potential adverse events of hyper-transfusion on the primary and secondary outcomes. "

"The review was very informative for a non-expert and recapitulated many aspects of interest, covering updated progress and additional challenges that need to be overcome. Section 1&2: Introduction/ Brief summary of autoimmunity in T1DM The authors should have merged the first two sections after the abstract. The review would flow better, if the second main section (Brief summary of autoiimunity in T1DM) came after the first paragraph of the first section (Introduction). Particularly, because the authors finish the former with the message of the Β islet destruction and in the second paragraph of th eintroduction they explain adequately how this challenge can be surpassed. Section 3: Defects of current T1DM treatment I think it would be interesting if the authors referenced in the second paragraph reviews on a) selection of encapsulation materials and transplantation site, b)improve immune regulation and c) blood vessel formation Moreover, since the following sections focus significantly on key transcription factors for stem cell differentiation, the authors could have made a more compelling case about their importance in this paragraph. ANother key point I would like to address is that I always find interesting the 'prevent autoimmune destruction' concept, since in many cases, the damage is irreversible at the time of diagnosis. Therefore, the authors should have addressed here, providing more literature, the two other options, which are induced regeneration from MSCs or their differentiation to Β-islet. Despite the focus on the latter in the following sections, if this contrast would have been explicitly explained and contrasted at this point, the readers would assimilate easier the greater image of the clinical bottlenecks of possible T1DM treatments. Section 4: Maturation process of Β cells in vivo This chapter feels a bit misleading from the title, since it mostly focuses on the islet development steps during the embryonic development, in mice or humans. Plus, many aspects of this paragraph are informative, yet do not correlate significantly with the follow-up section, of how the maturaiton actually occurs. Thus, most of the points raised in this paragraph can be overlooked and forgotten from the reader, thus weakening the overall view on the paper. The most relevant aspect described is the MAF transcription factor and a few others which are introduced later, however the major aspect of the chapter is very introductory and based on the paper title, could be reduced. Section 5: Key markers in the process of β-cell maturation This part was very detailed and elaborate, with lots of evidence and body of work done previously, which do not come by as superficial information. What could have made the whole paragraph to read, would have been to split it in at least two or three subsections, underlying a wider message across each, since it comprises of numeorus factors that affect β cell maturation Section 6: Induction of β cells in vitro and current problems This is also a very well-written paragraph touching upon many crucial prerequisites in testing methods to produce effectively β cells, such as prolonged and sustainable insulin release, autocrine regulation of Β cells by other pancreatic islet cell types, culture techniques based on nutrition, maturation, and TF delivery.

"Malignant melanoma most often occurs in the skin. Intraspinal malignant melanoma is quite rare. It is mainly distributed in the cervical segment, followed by the thoracic segment and thoracolumbar junction segment. This study analyzed and discussed the clinical, pathological, imaging data and treatment of this case of lumbar melanoma. The MRI features of melanoma vary with the proportion of melanocytes in the tumor.The diagnosis of this disease depends on puncture or surgical pathology.Because malignant melanoma in spinal canal is very rare, and its imaging manifestations are variable, it mainly needs to be differentiated from schwannoma and meningioma in spinal canal. In addition, hemorrhagic malignant melanoma should be differentiated from epidural hematoma and lipoma. For other rare intramedullary spinal cord tumors in this group, careful separation along the tumor interface is also required during microsurgical resection.However, it is often difficult to completely remove the tumor during the operation. The use of high-power microscope and ultrasonic scalpel is helpful to completely remove the tumor, and greatly improves the safety of the operation.For high-grade malignant tumors, excessive resection should not be pursued when the peritumoral interface is unclear. Postoperative radiotherapy or targeted therapy or immunotherapy based on gene detection can be considered to prolong the disease-free survival or overall survival rate. Neurophysiological monitoring and intraoperative ultrasound accurate positioning have become one of the routine intraoperative auxiliary means in neurosurgery. It is of great significance to guide accurate tumor resection, avoid spinal cord injury and improve postoperative neurological function."

"1. The authors may use tables for further illustrating of "CPSP treatments", and "CPSP prevention". Adding tables will let readers more systemically and comprehensively understanding methods of CPSP treatment & prevention. 2. In introduction part, about the epidemiology, incidence of CPSP, the authors should illustrate more. 3.
