Prospective 5-year follow-up of patients with acute coronary syndrome and percutaneous coronary intervention

Background. The study of predictors that negatively affect the long-term prognosis of patients with an increased risk of coronary syndrome can improve the effectiveness of measures for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. Aim. To determine the factors that have a negative impact on 5-year survival in patients with acute coronary syndrome and percutaneous coronary intervention. Material and methods. 135 patients with acute coronary syndrome enrolled in the Register of percutaneous coronary interventions in 20122013 at the Tyumen Cardiology Center, a branch of the Tomsk Research Institute of Cardiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, were included in the study. After 12 and 60 months, the clinical status of patients and ongoing drug therapy were evaluated, and an examination including echocardiography with an ultrasound scanner, daily monitoring of the electrocardiogram and standard blood pressure measuring was performed. Laboratory studies included general and biochemical blood tests. To calculate the factors associated with poor prognosis, a Cox proportional hazards regression model with stepwise inclusion was used. Survival was assessed by the KaplanMeier method using the Log-rank test (logarithmic test). Results. After 1 year, only three-quarters of patients continued the recommended drug therapy, a similar trend continued after 5 years of follow-up. The number of patients without any antiplatelet therapy increased from 19.9% after 12 months to 29.7% after 60 months. Overall survival after 1 year was 97.1%, after 5 years 86.7%. The risk of death increased in the presence of chronic kidney disease (risk ratio 15.1; 95% confidence interval 4.3052.93; p=0.001); type 2 diabetes mellitus (risk ratio 3.67; 95% confidence interval 1.1811.43; p=0.025), history of stroke (risk ratio 9.07; 95% confidence interval 1.8544.60; p=0.007), in patients with a heart rate 80 beats per minute [risk ratio 4.3; (95% confidence interval 1.5112.26; p=0.006) and at pulse pressure 60 mm Hg (risk ratio 4.68; 95% confidence interval 1.6013.72; p=0.005)]. Conclusion. The predictors that influenced the 5-year survival of patients after acute coronary syndrome and percutaneous coronary intervention were chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, a history of stroke, high pulse pressure, and increased heart rate of more than 80 beats per minute.
Sleep Habits in Pairs of Japanese High School Students and Their Mothers in Summer and Autumn

This study aimed to examine the sleep habits in pairs of Japanese high school students and their mothers in the summer and autumn. Nineteen pairs of high school students and their mothers participated in this study. Wrist actigraphy, subjective sleep evaluations, and bedroom environmental measurements (temperature, humidity, and light) were performed for a duration of one week. The results of a split-plot analysis of variance revealed no significant difference in the actigraphically evaluated time spent in bed (TIB) between the seasons and between the mothers and students. The TIB was approximately 6 h on weekdays, and significantly lengthened to approximately 7 h on weekends (p < 0.05). The average sleep efficiency values recorded were higher than 90%. The mothers showed significantly advanced sleep phases compared to those of the students (p < 0.05). In addition, the waking time on Monday morning was significantly correlated between the mothers and students in the summer and autumn (p < 0.05). A perceived sleep loss “almost every day” or “several times per week” was reported by approximately half of the mothers and students in each season. The students occasionally fell into nocturnal sleep with the room light turned on. These results suggest that sleep hygiene education considering life habit characteristics is required to ensure sufficient sleep time.
Severity of climacteric symptomatology related to depression and sexual function in women from a private clinic

Introduction The climacteric is a natural transition stage in women, in which hormonal changes occur that affect the physical and psychological well-being. Therefore, the objective was to determine the relationship of the severity of climacteric symptomatology with depression and sexual function in women. Materials and methods It was a descriptive, cross-sectional study, with a sample of 60 women between 40 and 65 years old. The Female Sexual Function Questionnaire-2, the Menopause Rating Scale, and the Beck Depression Inventory were used. Results The mean age of the women was 49.1 ±5.6 years. 21.7% of the women had severe depression, 28.3% moderate, and 50% mild/minimal. Changes in sleep habits (1.73 ±0.88) and in appetite (1.63 ±0.73) were the most severe manifestations. Difficulty sleeping (1.05 ±0.99), physical and mental fatigue (1.48 ±0.98), and vaginal sequelae (1.45 ±1.26) were the most serious complaints in the somatic, psychological, and urogenital domains, respectively. 60% presented severe sexual dysfunction regarding genital pain and 55% in vaginal penetration. Communicating sexual preferences to the partner was common in 75% of women. 88.3% had frequent sexual activity, but 63.3% had zero or low sexual satisfaction. Conclusions Climacteric symptomatology is related to depression but not to women’s sexual function.
Stellar clusters in the inner Galaxy and their correlation with cold dust emission

Context. Stars are born within dense clumps of giant molecular clouds, and constitute young stellar agglomerates known as embedded clusters, which only evolve into bound open clusters under special conditions. Aims. We statistically study all embedded clusters (ECs) and open clusters (OCs) known so far in the inner Galaxy, in particular investigating their interaction with the surrounding molecular environment and the differences in their evolution. Methods. We first compiled a merged list of 3904 clusters from optical and infrared cluster catalogs in the literature, including 75 new (mostly embedded) clusters discovered by us in the GLIMPSE survey. From this list, 695 clusters are within the Galactic range |� |≤ 60 ◦ and |b |≤ 1.5 ◦ covered by the ATLASGAL survey, which was used to search for correlations with submm dust continuum emission tracing dense molecular gas. We defined an evolutionary sequence of five morphological types: deeply embedded cluster (EC1), partially embedded cluster (EC2), emerging open cluster (OC0), OC still associated with a submm clump in the vicinity (OC1), and OC without correlation with ATLASGAL emission (OC2). Together with this process, we performed a thorough literature survey of these 695 clusters, compiling a considerable number of physical and observational properties in a catalog that is publicly available. Results. We found that an OC defined observationally as OC0, OC1, or OC2 and confirmed as a real cluster is equivalent to the physical concept of OC (a bound exposed cluster) for ages in excess of ∼16 Myr. Some observed OCs younger than this limit can actually be unbound associations. We found that our OC and EC samples are roughly complete up to ∼1 kpc and ∼1.8 kpc from the Sun, respectively, beyond which the completeness decays exponentially. Using available age estimates for a few ECs, we derived an upper limit of 3 Myr for the duration of the embedded phase. Combined with the OC age distribution within 3 kpc of the Sun, which shows an excess of young exposed clusters compared to a theoretical fit that considers classical disruption mechanisms, we computed an embedded and young cluster dissolution fraction of 88 ± 8%. This high fraction is thought to be produced by several factors and not only by the classical paradigm of fast gas expulsion.
Possible Implications of the Quantum Theory of Gravity

We consider the implications of some simple assumptions about the nature of the quantum theory of gravity which are plausible for a class of possible theories I have been attempting to construct. The simple assumptions turn out to have surprizingly wide implications of a type one might call philosophical. The paper is short and nontechnical. ( This builds on recent unpublished work of Lee Smolin, but comes to opposite conclusions).
Correlation between HPV PCNA, p16, and p21 Expression in Lung Cancer Patients

Purpose. Evaluate if human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in lung cancer patients might be helping cancer development by altering p16, p21, and PCNA, key human genes involved in cell proliferation and tumor development. Methods. 63 fresh-frozen (FF) and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples from lung tumor patients were used to detect HPV by PCR, followed by genotype through sequencing. The host gene expressions of p21, p16, and PCNA were quantified by qPCR in both FF and FFPE samples, and the expression of viral oncogenes E5, E6, and E7 was also measured by qPCR in 19 FF samples. Results. 74.6% of samples were positive for HPV, 33/44 FFPE samples and 14/19 FF samples. HPV-16 and HPV-18 were detected in 31/33 and 7/33 FFPE, respectively, and HPV-16 was the only type in FF samples. E5, E6, and E7 were expressed in 10/19, 2/19, and 4/19 FF samples, respectively. The p16 RNAm expression was higher in FF HPV+ samples and FFPE+FF HPV+ samples, while p21 showed higher expression in all HPV- samples. In turn, the PCNA expression was higher in HPV+ FF samples; however, in FFPE and FFPE+FF samples, PCNA was higher in HPV- samples. In FF samples, PCNA, p16, and p21 showed a significant positive correlation as well as E5 and E7, and E5 was inversely correlated to p21. In FFPE, also, a positive correlation was observed between PCNA HPV+ and p21 HPV+ and PCNA HPV+ and p16 HPV. In FF+FFPE analysis, a direct correlation was found between PCNA HPV+ and p21 HPV+, p21 HPV+ and p16 HPV+, and PCNA HPV- and p16 HPV-, and an inverse correlation between PCNA HPV+ and p16 HPV+. Also, the p16 protein was positive in 10 HPV+ samples and 1 HPV-. Conclusions. Our data show that lung cancer patients from Northeast Brazil have a high prevalence of HPV, and the virus also expresses its oncogenes and correlates with key human genes involved in tumor development. This data could instigate the development of studies focused on preventive strategies, such as vaccination, used as a prognostic indicator and/or individualized therapy.
Resonant trapping in the galactic disc and halo and its relation with moving groups

With the use of a detailed Milky Way nonaxisymmetric potential, observationally and dynamically constrained, the effects of the bar and the spiral arms in the Galaxy are studied in the disc and in the stellar halo. Especially the trapping of stars in the disc and Galactic halo by resonances on the Galactic plane, induced by the Galactic bar, has been analysed in detail. To this purpose, a new method is presented to delineate the trapping regions using empirical diagrams of some orbital properties obtained in the Galactic potential. In these diagrams we plot in the inertial Galactic frame a characteristic orbital energy versus a characteristic orbital angular momentum, or versus the orbital Jacobi constant in the reference frame of the bar, when this is the only nonaxisymmetric component in the Galactic potential. With these diagrams some trapping regions are obtained in the disc and halo using a sample of disc stars and halo stars in the solar neighbourhood. We compute several families of periodic orbits on the Galactic plane, some associated with this resonant trapping. In particular, we find that the trapping effect of these resonances on the Galactic plane can extend several kpc from this plane, trapping stars in the Galactic halo. The purpose of our analysis is to investigate if the trapping regions contain some known moving groups in our Galaxy. We have applied our method to the Kapteyn group, a moving group in the halo, and we have found that this group appears not to be associated with a particular resonance on the Galactic plane.
Applying the C-Factor of the RUSLE Model to Improve the Prediction of Suspended Sediment Concentration Using Smart Data-Driven Models

The accurate forecasts and estimations of the amount of sediment transported by rivers are critical concerns in water resource management and soil and water conservation. The identification of appropriate and applicable models or improvements in existing approaches is needed to accurately estimate the suspended sediment concentration (SSC). In recent decades, the utilization of intelligent models has substantially improved SSC estimation. The identification of beneficial and proper input parameters can greatly improve the performance of these smart models. In this regard, we assessed the C-factor of the revised universal soil loss equation (RUSLE) as a new input along with hydrological variables for modeling SSC. Four data-driven models (feed-forward neural network (FFNN); support vector regression (SVR); adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS); and radial basis function (RBF)) were applied in the Boostan Dam Watershed, Iran. The cross-correlation function (CCF) and partial autocorrelation function (PAFC) approaches were applied to determine the effective lag times of the flow rate and suspended sediment, respectively. Additionally, several input scenarios were constructed, and finally, the best input combination and model were identified through trial and error and standard statistics (coefficient of determination (R2); root mean square error (RMSE); mean absolute error (MAE); and Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient (NS)). Our findings revealed that using the C-factor can considerably improve model efficiency. The best input scenario in which the C-factor was combined with hydrological data improved the NS by 16.4%, 21.4%, 0.17. 5%, and 23.2% for SVR, ANFIS, FFNN, and RBF models, respectively, compared with the models using only hydrological inputs. Additionally, a comparison among the different models showed that the SVR model had about 4.1%, 13.7%, and 23.3% (based on the NS metric) higher accuracy than ANFIS, FFNN, and RBF for SSC estimation, respectively. Thus, the SVR model using hydrological data along with the C-factor can be a cost-effective and promising tool in SSC prediction at the watershed scale.
New H i scaling relations to probe the H i content of galaxies via global H i-deficiency maps

We present new multi-wavelength scaling relations between the neutral hydrogen content (HI) and the stellar properties of nearby galaxies selected from the HI Parkes All-Sky Survey (HIPASS). We use these new scaling relations to investigate the environmental dependency of the HI content of galaxies. We find that galaxies in high density environments tend to have on average less HI than galaxies with the same stellar mass in the low density environment. Our new HI scaling relations allow us to identify individual galaxies, as well as group/cluster environments, that have an `anomalous' HI content. We map the global distribution of HI-deficient and HI-excess galaxies on the sky and compare it to the large scale structure of galaxies. We find galaxy clusters to be HI-deficient, and we identify that the regions surrounding clusters tend to be HI-excess. Finally, we demonstrate the potential of using HI scaling relations to predict future HI surveys based on an optical redshift survey. We apply our scaling relations to 16709 galaxies in the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) that lie in the HIPASS volume and compare our predictions to the measurements. We find that scaling relations are good method to estimate the outcome of HI surveys.
One-dimensional quantum antiferromagnetism in the p-orbital CsO2 compound revealed by electron paramagnetic resonance

Recently, it was proposed that the orbital ordering of ${\ensuremath{\pi}}_{x,y}^{*}$ molecular orbitals in the superoxide ${\mathrm{CsO}}_{2}$ compound leads to the formation of spin-1/2 chains below the structural phase transition occurring at ${T}_{\mathrm{s}1}=61 \mathrm{K}$ on cooling. Here we report a detailed $X$-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study of this phase in ${\mathrm{CsO}}_{2}$ powder. The EPR signal appears as a broad line below ${T}_{\mathrm{s}1}$, which is replaced by the antiferromagnetic resonance below the N\'eel temperature ${T}_{\mathrm{N}}=8.3 \mathrm{K}$. The temperature dependence of the EPR linewidth between ${T}_{\mathrm{s}1}$ and ${T}_{\mathrm{N}}$ agrees with the predictions for the one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain of $S=1/2$ spins in the presence of symmetric anisotropic exchange interaction. Complementary analysis of the EPR line shape, linewidth, and the signal intensity within the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) framework allows for a determination of the TLL exponent $K=0.48$. Present EPR data thus fully comply with the quantum antiferromagnetic state of spin-1/2 chains in the orbitally ordered phase of ${\mathrm{CsO}}_{2}$, which is therefore a unique $p$-orbital system where such a state could be studied.
THE TRANSVERSE PECULIAR VELOCITY OF THE Q2237+0305 LENS GALAXY AND THE MEAN MASS OF ITS STARS

Using 11 years of OGLE V-band photometry of Q2237+0305, we measure the transverse velocity of the lens galaxy and the mean mass of its stars. We can do so because, for the first time, we fully include the random motions of the stars in the lens galaxy in the analysis of the light curves. In doing so, we are also able to correctly account for Earth's parallax motion and the rotation of the lens galaxy, further reducing systematic errors. We measure a lower limit on the transverse speed of the lens galaxy, vt > 338 km s-1 (68% confidence) and find a preferred direction to the east. The mean stellar mass estimate, including a well-defined velocity prior, is 0.12 ⩽ 〈M/M☉〉 ⩽ 1.94 at 68% confidence, with a median of 0.52 M☉. We also show for the first time that analyzing subsets of a microlensing light curve, in this case the first and second halves of the OGLE V-band light curve, gives mutually consistent physical results.
AGING IN REVERSIBLE DYNAMICS OF DISORDERED SYSTEMS. I. emergence of the arcsine law in Bouchaud's asymmetric trap model on the complete graph

In this paper the celebrated arcsine aging scheme of G. Ben Arous and J. y Cerny is taken up. Using a brand new approach based on point processes and weak convergence techniques, this scheme is implemented in a wide class of Markov processes that can best be described as Glauber dynamics of discrete disordered systems. More specifically, conditions are given for the underlying clock process (a partial sum process that measures the total time elapsed along paths of a given length) to converge to a subordinator, and this subordinator is constructed explicitly. This approach is illustrated on Bouchaud's asymmetric trap model on the complete graph for which aging is for the first time proved, and the full, optimal picture, obtained.

Multiwavelength Study of Chandra X-Ray Sources in the Antennae

We use WIRC, IR images of the Antennae (NGC 4038/4039) together with the extensive catalogue of 120 X-ray point sources (Zezas et al. 2006) to search for counterpart candidates. Using our proven frame-tie technique, we find 38 X-ray sources with IR counterparts, almost doubling the number of IR counterparts to X-ray sources first identified in Clark et al. (2007). In our photometric analysis, we consider the 35 IR counterparts that are confirmed star clusters. We show that the clusters with X-ray sources tend to be brighter, Ks � 16 mag, with (J − Ks) = 1.1 mag. We then use archival HST images of the Antennae to search for optical counterparts to the X-ray point sources. We employ our previous IR-to-X-ray frame-tie as an intermediary to establish a precise optical-to-X-ray frame-tie with < 0.6 arcsec rms positional uncertainty. Due to the high optical source density near the X-ray sources, we determine that we cannot reliably identify counterparts. Comparing the HST positions to the 35 identified IR star cluster counterparts, we find optical matches for 27 of these sources. Using Bruzual-Charlot spectral evolutionary models, we find that most clusters associated with an X-ray source are massive, � 10 6 M� , young, � 10 6 yr, with moderate metallicities, Z = 0.05.
Role of miRNA in Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma

Micro Ribonucleic Acids, or miRNAs, are short non-coding RNAs. Their length, on average, is 22 nucleotides, and they function in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. MiRNAs have their own nomenclature, and the same miRNAs can be found across different species. MiRNAs play important roles in many physiological and pathological processes in the human body. Regarding cancer, miRNAs are involved in carcinogenesis. MiRNAs work by binding completely or incompletely with messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Complete binding with mRNA produces mRNA degradation, while incomplete binding produces translational inhibition. Eventually, miRNAs decreased gene expression. In cancer, miRNAs show unique and different expression profiles. Based on their role in activating or deactivating intracellular signaling pathways, miRNAs can be classified as oncomiR or tumor suppressor miRNA. In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), miRNAs are associated with gene mutation status, and they have important roles as diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers.
Synthesis and Zn Doping's Impact on CeO2 Nanoparticles for Improved Photocatalytic Evaluation, Antibacterial and Anticancer Analyses

This work uses Psidium guajava leaf extracts to easily and quickly synthesise Cerium nanoparticles (Ce NPs) and Zn: CeO2 NPs (Zn-Ce NPs) (PGE). The generated G - CeO2 and Zn: CeO2 NPs were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-Ray (EDAX), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) techniques. The presence of OH, -NH2, and C=O groups, which were essential for the synthesis of G-CeO2 and Zn: CeO2 NPs, was detected by FT-IR spectroscopy. The XRD analysis supports the fluorite cubic structure of the resulting particles for G-CeO2 and Zn: CeO2 NPs. The findings of the elemental analysis by EDX demonstrated that the doping effects of Zn2+ in G-CeO2 NPs effectively enhanced the percentages of cerium and oxygen. G-CeO2 and Zn: CeO2 nanoparticles were evenly dispersed, and a SEM microscopic investigation also revealed that the produced nanoparticles were spherical in shape. Both the G-CeO2 and Zn: CeO2 nanoparticles demonstrated effective antibacterial and antifungal properties. To measure photocatalytic activity, the degradation of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution under visible light irradiation was utilised. The findings demonstrated that Zn doping considerably increased Ce NPs' photocatalytic activity. Using Zn dopant, it has been discovered that the optical band gap of Ce NPs has decreased from 3.69 eV to 3.55 eV. Both the G-CeO2 and Zn: CeO2 nanoparticles demonstrated effective antibacterial and antifungal properties. By increasing the concentration of both G-CeO2 and Zn: CeO2 NPs, the viability of the cancer cells L929 and HCT 116 was partly reduced.
