Genetic Diversity of Some Isolates of Soft rot Pectobacterium, from Different Host Plants in Fars Province, Iran, using RAPD Marker

Pectobacteria are one of the most important groups of plant pathogenic bacteria which occur world-wide. The bacteria have a wide host range and infect plants with fleshy organs. Thirty five bacterial isolates were collected from potato, cabbage, sugar beet, pepper, carrot, onion, cucumber, turnip, and tomato host plants cultivated in Fars province. The bacteria were identified using biochemical and physiological tests. The genetic diversity among the isolates was evaluated using RAPD assay. The isolates were rod-shape, gram-negative, facultative anaerobes, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, and had ability to rot the potato, while they could not induce hypersensitive reaction on tobacco leaf. All of isolates were identified as soft-rot bacteria. Based on phenotypic criteria, the isolated strains were categorized into three groups. The strains of first, second and third groups were related to Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum, Pectobacterium betavascularum and Dickeya chrysanthemi, respectively. According to RAPD assay and using six primers including 19300, 91200, OPB07, OPB08, OPB11, OPB18, isolates categorized in three groups. The used primers showed significant diversity among the strains and the specific primers GTGC4, GAGC4 and GTG5 confirmed the classification. The diversity among the isolates has been confirmed based on the molecular works and clustering based on RAPD. This is the first RAPD assay to investigate the genetic diversity of soft-rot bacteria.
Body-cult television advertisement recall among young women suffering from anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa

Abstract Advertising conveys an aesthetic model that seems to have a negative influence on young women. However, it is unclear whether the media are the cause, or only act as a reinforcement of disorders related to body image, such as those associated with eating behavior (anorexia or bulimia). This study measures the influence that advertising (measured by recall scores) during a television program has on women with eating disorders (anorexia or bulimia) compared to healthy women. Experimental study of exploratory nature performed on a sample of young women with eating disorders and a control group. The influence of advertising was estimated by recall scores, obtained after viewing a real television program, which included two commercial breaks containing two kinds of ads: body cult advertising (showing thinness or promoting it) and neutral advertising. Young women with eating disorders better recall advertisements showing thinness and products for weight loss and pay less attention to other types targeted at their age and gender group. Television advertising seems to be more of a reinforcement for these women who are already dissatisfied with their body, rather than a direct cause of their body image disorder.
Maternal Knowledge and Practices regarding Home-Care Management of their Hydrocephalic Children with Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt

Background Hydrocephalus is a medical condition characterized by an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles of brain. It is one of the most common neurosurgical problems in childhood, representing nearly one-third of all congenital malformations of nervous system. Aim of the study: This study aimed to assess mothers' knowledge and practices regarding home-care management of their hydrocephalic children with ventriculoperitoneal shunt. Methods: A descriptivecorrelationalresearch design was used in this studywith a convenient sample of 50mothers accompanying their hydrocephalic children with ventriculoperitoneal Shunt whom treated in the neurosurgery units and neurosurgery outpatients clinics affiliated to Suez-Canal University Hospitalsfrom the beginning of February 2019 to the end of September 2019. A structured interviewing questionnaire tool used to assess the level of mothers' knowledge, and reported practices regarding home care management of their hydrocephalic children with ventriculoperitoneal shunt. Results: Revealed that, 60% and 80% of the studied mothers had insufficient level of knowledge about hydrocephalus, and home care management respectively. While, 68% of them had poor level of reported practices. Conclusion & recommendations: The findings of this study concluded that,studied mothers had insufficient level of knowledge and poor reported practices level. Subsequently, the requisite for structured training programs at the hospitals to improve maternal knowledge and practices regarding home-care management of hydrocephalic children with ventriculoperitoneal shunt is recommended.
Meridional trend of thermal emission and cooling rate in the Venus cloud layer

Through a great depth of more than 20 km and global coverage, the Venus cloud layer plays an important role in the radiative energy balance. The Venus Express (VEx) observations showed that the cloud top properties significantly change with latitudes. Here we use the structure of the upper cloud derived from the joint analysis of the VeRa and VIRTIS observations to calculate the outgoing thermal flux and cooling rates and discuss the cloud effects.

Molar Incisor Hipomineralization, prevalence and association to gender, presence of caries, MIH severity in incisors and the need for treatment

Introduction: Molar-Incisivor Hipomineralization is a defect of a systemic origin from first molars and permanent incisors, affecting children from the moment of their eruption, and may vary at socioeconomic, cultural, regional and ethnic levels. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of Molar-Incisivor Hipomineralization and its influence on the aesthetic perception of the students regarding the defects presented. Material and Method: This cross-sectional observational study had a sample of 432 children aged 6-11 years old from the city of Mirante do Paranapanema -SP. Clinical examinations were performed by a single trained and calibrated examiner, using the criteria proposed by the European Academy of Paediatrics Dentistry (EAPD), classifying the anomaly as mild, moderate or severe. To evaluate the perception of aesthetics, the questionnaire Child’s and Parent’s Questionnaire about teeth appearance (CQATA) was used. Results: A total of 35 (8.10%) of the children had MIH, and 28. presented severe symptoms. Previous abortion suffered by mothers was reported as the main etiology (11.42%). There was an aesthetic perception in relation to MIH present in the incisors and their dominance in relation to the position of the anomaly. Conclusion: It is concluded that, there is no association of gender, presence of caries and the need for treatment in relation to MIH. However, there was an association between the severity of MIH and the presence of MIH in incisors with some domains of the CQATA questionnaire.
The Effects of Low Level Laser Treatment on Recovery of Nerve Conduction after Sciatic Nerve Compression Injury (Experimental study)

Aim of the work: The objective of study is to determine the effect of the low level laser therapy on nerves regeneration after a compression injury of rat sciatic nerve. Study design: The injury of the sciatic nerve was induced by using portable deadweight device with a load of 5000g applied over a length of 5 mm for 10 minutes was used in this study on the crushing of the sciatic nerve of rats. This device is characterized as being a faster, easier and more reliable crushing process, in relation to the load used. The animals were divided into three groups, the animals in group III received LLLT daily for 28 consecutive days we used A Semi-conductor Diode AlGaInP Laser, formed a control console and a handheld probe. The diameter of the probe is 18 mm and it was used to deliver the LLLT. Functional nerve assessment was done using the foot step forms and sciatic nerve was dissected for histological examination to evaluate the regeneration of the sciatic nerve. Results: Found that significant differences of the times factor (F= 4765.53, P= 0.001), groups factor (F= 2222.54, P=0.0001), Also we found a significant differences of the interaction between times and groups factors (F=742.63, P=0.001) when sphericity assumed, Pillai's trace showing a significant differences for the time factor, group factor and the interaction between time and group factors. The histological assessment improve that the most axons of the Group III sections showed regeneration and a uniform arrangement. Conclusion: The Low level laser therapy is a useful way for treating the injuries of the nerves and when we use the LLLT at the early stage of the injury of the nerve it will helps in the minimizing of the loss of nerve functions.

ADnEV

Schema matching is a process that serves in integrating structured and semi-structured data. Being a handy tool in multiple contemporary business and commerce applications, it has been investigated in the fields of databases, AI, Semantic Web, and data mining for many years. The core challenge still remains the ability to create quality algorithmic matchers, automatic tools for identifying correspondences among data concepts (e.g., database attributes). In this work, we offer a novel post processing step to schema matching that improves the final matching outcome without human intervention. We present a new mechanism, similarity matrix adjustment, to calibrate a matching result and propose an algorithm (dubbed ADnEV) that manipulates, using deep neural networks, similarity matrices, created by state-of-the-art algorithmic matchers. ADnEV learns two models that iteratively adjust and evaluate the original similarity matrix. We empirically demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithmic solution for improving matching results, using real-world benchmark ontology and schema sets. We show that ADnEV can generalize into new domains without the need to learn the domain terminology, thus allowing cross-domain learning. We also show ADnEV to be a powerful tool in handling schemata which matching is particularly challenging. Finally, we show the benefit of using ADnEV in a related integration task of ontology alignment.
The Diagnostic Value of CT Angiography in the Diagnosis of Residual Aneurysm After Brain Aneurysm Surgery

Background: The existence of residual aneurysm after intracranial aneurysm clipping bears the risk of re-bleeding, which worsens with the passage of time. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is accepted as the gold standard for evaluation of residual aneurysm, but it is invasive, costly, and serious complications are possible. Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare DSA to 64-slice CT angiography for assessing residual aneurysm. Patients and Methods: Forty patients with 43 clipped aneurysms from which 36 were torn, were evaluated by DSA after improvement in clinical status, and after a month they were evaluated by 64-slice CT angiography. The pictures were assessed by two neuroradiologists separately, in terms of quality, artifact due to the clips, and the completion of aneurysm closing. Results: In multislice computed tomographic angiography (MSCT) analysis, 36 pictures (90%) had good quality and four pictures (10%) had poor quality. In case of good quality pictures in MSCT and angiography, the 2- and 3-millimeter residual aneurysms were approved for two patients based on which, sensitivity, feature and positive/negative predictive value for diagnosis of residual aneurysm was 100 for good-quality pictures by MSCT. The level of agreement between the two neuroradiologists was 1 for diagnosing residual aneurysm and 0.86 for vasospasm. The average time for doing MSCT was 12 minutes compared to 45 minutes for DSA angiography, which was cost effective. Conclusion: CT angiography is a less invasive method with high sensitivity and capabilities for diagnosing residual aneurysm. It is cheaper, quicker and can be accomplished for critical patients. Therefore, it can be taken as the first choice and a replacement for DSA in post-surgery evaluation of patients with clipped brain aneurysm.
The Impact of Demographic Developments on the German Statutory Pension System

The paper analyzes the impact of demographic developments on the German pension system until the year 2060. As a central innovation we decompose the isolated impact of mortality, fertility and migration developments on the dynamics of the German pension system. We propose a decomposition approach that combines demographic projection methods and a pension simulation model. The model will be presented in detail. We are able to show that the past population structure and future mortality improvements will be the most important factors shaping the development of the German pension system. Furthermore, we present calculations for the potential capability of higher fertility rates for stabilizing the pension system. ∗Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research Laboratory Survival and Longevity; University of Rostock; Email: peglow@demogr.mpg. de. †University of Rostock, Chair of Public Economics
Significance of Lactate Levels in Vaginal Fluid with Time of Spontaneous Onset of Labour in Suspected Cases of Pre-Labour Rupture Of Membranes

Background: Prelabour rupture of membranes is reported to occur in 2-25% of all pregnancies. The condition is associated with fetal and maternal infections, cord complications and might be marker of imminent delivery. It is therefore of great importance to accurately confirm the diagnosis and determine the latency period between rupture of membranes and delivery for referral of patients to higher institutions with NICU facilities and thus improve the perinatal outcome. The lactate concentration in amniotic fluid is 4-6 times higher as compared with maternal and foetal blood and hence its level in vaginal fluid can be used to establish prelabour rupture of membranes and time of spontaneous onset of labour in these patients. Objectives: 1. To diagnose prelabour rupture of membranes. 2. To establish the association between lactate levels in vaginal fluid and time of spontaneous onset of labour in cases of suspected prelabour rupture of membranes. Study Design: In this prospective observational study 108 pregnant women with singleton pregnancy of more than 34 weeks of gestation, with prelabour rupture of membranes underwent a sterile speculum examination and vaginal fluid was taken to estimate lactate level. Lactate levels were analysed in Auto analyser using spinreact kit. Then, women were followed till spontaneous onset of labour. Results: The median time of onset of spontaneous labour and examination was 12 hours in patients with lactate levels >5.0mmol/L and 72 hours in patients with lactate levels <5.0mmol/L. Among 55 women with lactate levels > 5.0mmol/L, 65.5% of women (n=36) had spontaneous onset of labour within 24 hours and 85.5% of women (n=47) within 48 hours. The odds ratio of being in labour within 24 hours is almost 18 times higher among women with lactate concentrations > 5.0mmol/L than women with lower lactate levels. Conclusion: A lactate level > 5.0mmol/L is significantly associated with the spontaneous onset of labour within 24 48 hours in cases of suspected prelabour rupture of membranes.
Discovering NBA Game Stories from Twitter

This paper proposes a system which generates the game summary for basketball games by quoting the representative tweets during the game period for the ﬁrst time, whereas the previous similar researches treated soccer and American football. Basketball is a more challenging subject than football or or soccer for making a summary. This paper introduces a unique idea to put the discussions at the break times between quarters and at the end of the game into the game summary, since spectators state the game status at that moment and comments upon the activities of the players and the teams then. Without specifying keywords, our heuristics attempt to such discussions as the peaks of long duration in the tweet volume graph. Experimentally, our summary covers up to 87% of the items written in the NBA Oﬃcial Game Summary.
Minimum price system compared with the quota model-which system is more efficient

Power generation from renewable energy sources is now being encouraged in all European Union countries. In Europe minimum price systems are currently being applied to a large extent. Some countries, on the other hand, apply a quota model, which is often presented as an allegedly more efficient promotion tool. However, in comparison to quota systems, minimum price systems clearly perform better; they do not only perform better; they are more efficient too. And all the more so when it comes to wind energy.
Ethical considerations in the design, execution, and analysis of clinical trials of chronic pain treatments

Abstract Introduction: In the field of pain research, clinical trials may randomize over 500 subjects and include more than 150 sites spanning over a dozen countries. Methods: This review examines the ethical considerations affecting clinical trial design, execution, and analysis of trials for chronic pain. The Belmont Report has been the touchstone for human studies protection efforts since 1979. Commissioned by the U.S. government in response to ethical failures in medical research, such as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, the report emphasizes 3 basic principles: respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. Trial design and sample size have important ethical implications. Conclusions: Measures to enhance trial transparency and combat publication and many other types of bias should be implemented.
Antimicrobial activity of fingerroot [Boesenbergia rotunda (L.) Mansf. A.] extract against streptococcus mutans and streptococcus sobrinus

The extract of medicinal plants fingerroot [Boesenbergia rotunda (L.) Mansf. A. ] obtained using 100% methanol was tested for antibacterial activity against two major pathogen of dental carries namely Streptococcus mutans KCCM 3309 and Streptococcus sobrinus KCCM 3207. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and time-kill curve on S. mutans and S. sobrinus were analyzed using Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institutes (CLSI) methods. Preliminary antimicrobial screening showed the mean zones of inhibition for S. mutans (9.0 mm) and S. sobrinus (8.0 mm). MIC value obtained for S. sobrinus and S. mutans was 313 μg/ml while the MBC values were 313 μg/ml (S.mutans) and 625 μg/ml (S. sobrinus). Time-kill curve were obtained at concentrations of 0xMIC, 1/2xMIC, 1xMIC, 2xMIC, 4xMIC and 8xMIC. S. mutans was found to be more susceptible to the fingerroot extract than S. sobrinus. Time - kill curve showed that the concentration of 8xMIC was able to kill 99.9% of S. mutans after 4 hours treatment. These results may be useful for developing fingerroot B. rotunda as natural anticariogenic agent in toothpaste or any oral care products such as mouthwash in treatment of dental carries, sore throat and flaming gums.
B-Cell-Attracting Chemokine CXCL13 As a Marker of Disease Activity in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

Abstract Background A correlation was detected between the chemokine CXC ligand 13 (CXCL13) and lupus nephritis, but there is no data recorded in the literature about a relationship with other disease manifestations in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Therefore, we sought to investigate the relationship between CXCL13 and overall disease activity and other disease manifestations in SLE. Patients and Methods Fifty-seven SLE patients (51 female, 6 male) aged 18–60 years, fulfilling≥4 SLICC classification criteria for the classification of SLE, were enrolled in a cross-sectional study. Disease activity was scored using the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) scoring system. The serological workup included routine lab investigations (full blood count, liver and kidney function tests, and urinalysis) as well as ESR, CRP, anti-ds DNA, C3, C4, 24-h urine protein, and creatinine clearance. Plasma CXCL13 levels were detected by ELISA. Results CXCL13 levels were elevated in active SLE patients. A significant positive correlation was found between the total score of SLEDAI and CXCL13 levels (r=0.547, p-value <0.0001). A statistically significant difference was found regarding the mean CXCL13 levels between the patient groups (classified according to SLEDAI score) (inactive <3, mild/moderate ≥3–12, severe ˃12) (p-value<0.001). The anti-ds DNA antibody titre showed a significant positive correlation with CXCL13 levels (r=0.335, p-value<0.05). The complement levels (C3, C4) showed a significant negative correlation with CXCL13 levels (p-value<0.001). Also there was a significant positive correlation between 24-h urine protein and urinary casts and CXCL13 levels (p-value<0.05). Conclusion Our study revealed elevated levels of serum CXCL13 in active SLE patients. We demonstrated a highly significant positive correlation between serum CXCL13 levels in active SLE patients and SLE disease activity, which supports the role of CXCL13 in the pathogenesis of SLE disease and its activity. Among the variants used in calculating the SLEDAI score, we detected significant relations between level of serum CXCL13 and each of total and extra-renal SLEDAI score.
