Immunotherapy Using HistobulinTM In Psoriasis: A Case Report

Background: There is no cure for psoriasis. Early treatment using biologics is recommended to improve skin manifestations and reduce systemic inflammation, which leads to comorbidities in various organs.Case Presentation: HistobulinTM therapy was performed on a psoriasis patient who developed the disorder due to allergic rhinitis. Psoriasis was confirmed pathologically by skin biopsy. The patient responded rapidly, and the skin manifestations began to improve after just the first injection. Although the patient showed some temporary aggravation after the third injection, the clinical symptoms and signs improved continuously thereafter and disappeared after the eighth injection. Remission was induced and was evident when the patient showed no symptoms and signs during the subsequent 4 weeks during which time the patient received 4 more injections; afterwards, HistobulinTM therapy was ceased. After treatment, psoriasis did not recur for more than 6 months.Conclusions: HistobulinTM is effective and induces remission in psoriasis patients. HistobulinTM is suggested for curative therapeutics in psoriasis patients, and further basic research and clinical evaluation are necessary.
Organization of leaf vascular system and gas exchange in seedlings of Guazuma ulmifolia Lam. in different light conditions

In tropical forests, different physiological characteristics of leaves in tree species are evidenced by variations in different incident light conditions. We aim to evaluate gas exchange and organization of leaf vascular system in Guazuma ulmifolia Lam. seedlings under different light conditions. Seedlings were obtained from seeds germinated under greenhouse conditions with controlled environment. Ninety days after germination, seedlings in 8kg pots were transferred to the experimental site to allow acclimatization under sun and shade conditions. The experimental design was completely randomized, with two treatments: full sunlight and artificial shading, limiting the luminosity to about 5% of irradiance. Seedlings were maintained under these conditions for 120 days before measuring gas exchange parameters. We measured photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, sub-stomatic CO2 concentration, transpiration, and chlorophyll content. Anatomical analysis measured distance between veins, distance from veins to abaxial epidermis, distance from veins to adaxial epidermis, distance from veins to stomata, total leaf thickness, abaxial epidermis thickness, adaxial epidermis thickness, palisade parenchyma thickness, and spongy parenchyma thickness of foliar gas exchange of G. ulmifolia which presented significant differences between light environments. Photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance were reduced by 78% and 39%, respectively, in shade, while stomatal conductance increased by 31% in full sunlight. Transpiration showed no significant difference between the two treatments, but chlorophyll content was 30% lower in full sunlight. Distance between veins and distance from veins to stomata showed no difference between treatments, but the other parameters increased in full sunlight. Thus, the results showed that the pioneer species G. ulmifolia presented leaf gas exchange acclimated to environments with high luminosity.
Improvement of Service Quality in the Supply Chain of Commercial Banks—A Case Study in Vietnam

The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic caused a serious impact on the business activities of enterprises and households, affecting the operation of banks around the world, especially for capital mobilization from those with savings deposits at commercial banks. In face of the unpredictable developments of the pandemic, many services of banks in Vietnam were also affected, so it has been necessary to make a plan to maintain business operations and respond effectively to these difficulties. In this study, the authors used three research models to form a three-dimensional frame of reference (past, present, and future) to identify, analyze, and evaluate the factors affecting the service quality of commercial banks’ savings deposit mobilization, and to suggest solutions that can minimize risks and improve customer satisfaction for savings deposits at commercial banks, improve service quality to avoid potential long-term risks, as well as maintain sustainable growth and social stability in the future.
Multi detector computed tomography in maxillofacial injuries

Background: Imaging is an important step after the clinical evaluation in the workup of patients with facial trauma . It helps to deﬁne the extent of injury and to plan the surgical, interventional, or conservative therapy. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is the imaging technique of choice to detect and characterize the number of fractures, fragments, the degree of dislocation, and the involvement of anatomical structures. It provides a three-dimensional (3D) mapping of the smallest fractures and abnormalities in a short period of time in trauma and emergency setting.Results: The study included 30 patients with mean age of 41.07± 13.92 years with age range of 21 – 68 years. In most of the cases the mode of injury was road traffic accidents among 23(76.7%). Fracture maxilla in 63.3% followed by mandible in 56.7% was the most common bone involved in facial fractures. Hemosinus (56.7%) was the most common associated finding in the patients who presented with facial trauma. Brain contusions were the next common finding seen in 30% patients. Medial wall of the orbit was the most common wall involved in orbital fractures. The mandibular injuries were most common in the condyle and the body of the mandible. Le Fort fracture lines were identified in 17 patients with the most common Le Fort line being the Le Fort II & Le Fort III which was seen 7 patients (23.3%) each.Conclusion: The complex anatomy of the facial bones requires multiplanar imaging techniques for a proper evaluation. The main purpose of diagnostic imaging is to detect and localize the exact number, site of facial fractures and soft tissue injuries. 3D images are useful, although variable for different bones, in the assessment of complex fractures involving the face. Coronal images are useful adjunct in detection of facial fractures. MDCT offers excellent spatial resolution, which in turn enables exquisite multiplanar reformations, and 3-D reconstructions, allowing enhanced diagnostic accuracy and surgical planning.
A contrastive study on thanking in Arabic dialects and English

Cross-Cultural Pragmatics (CCP) is a field of study that focuses on the interaction of people from various cultures. It is to clarify cultural distinctions between languages that acquire meaning through context and sociocultural embedding, resulting in a pragmatic communication failure. This study determines whether the Arabic language, because of dialectical variation, contains more thanking methods than English. Additionally, it aims to investigate the politeness strategies used by Arabs and native English speakers. Besides, it aims to determine whether contextual variables affect thanking expressions. The data collection instrument was an open-ended questionnaire in two versions Arabic and English. The results were then analyzed quantitatively using SPSS software version 26.0, following Cheng's classification of thanking. The findings indicate that dialectical diversity is not associated with an increase in thanking strategies that are more prevalent in English. Additionally, religion affects the Arabs speaking, their manner of thanking does not exclude religious expressions, which are their preferred method of expressing their politeness and gratitude. In terms of the politeness strategies, both native Arabic and English speakers preferred negative politeness to positive politeness, which focuses on minimizing the FTA's particular imposition. Concerning contextual variables such as familiarity and social status, both affect how the thanking speech act is performed. It will be worthwhile to investigate thanking in Arabic and English with a specific factor such as social distance. Additionally, it is beneficial to examine thanking in Arabic dialects regarding civilization's cultural influence and the dialect's proximity to standard Arabic.

The results of data processing and data analysis were obtained using the sample t-test, namely paired t-test. Based on the results of these calculations, the conclusion is that the method of understanding play can improve the performance of a group of athletes with high initial abilities to play basketball.
Size sound symbolism in the English lexicon

Experimental and cross-linguistic evidence suggests that certain speech sounds are associated with size, especially high front vowels with ‘small’ and low back vowels with ‘large’. However, empirical evidence that speech sounds are statistically associated with magnitude across words within a language has been mixed and open to methodological critique. Here, we used a random-forest analysis of a near-exhaustive set of English size adjectives (e.g.,tiny, gargantuan) to determine whether the English lexicon is characterized by size-symbolic patterns. We show that sound structure is highly predictive of semantic size in size adjectives, most strongly for the phonemes /ɪ/, /i/, /ɑ/, and /t/. In comparison, an analysis of a much larger set of more than 2,500 general vocabulary words rated for size finds no evidence for size sound symbolism, thereby suggesting that size sound symbolism is restricted to size adjectives. Our findings are the first demonstration that size sound symbolism is a statistical property of the English lexicon.
Phytoextraction Capacity of Chrysopogon nigritanus Grown on Arsenic Contaminated Soil

This study aims to investigate the capacity of Chrysopogon nigritanus to accumulate As from contaminated soils. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse. C. nigritanus was subjected to uncontaminated soil and As contaminated soil (50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg of As), for 180 days. Plant growth and biomass produced, concentration of As in soil and plant, bioaccumulation and transfer factors, as the location of As in tissues and cells of the plant have been determined. Plant growth decreased significantly with increasing of soil As concentration. C. nigritanus accumulated more As in roots biomass. The highest bioaccumulation factor values were found in contaminated soil at 50 mg As/kg (As 50), then contaminated soil at 100 mg As/kg (As 100) and contaminated soil at 150 mg As/kg (As 150). As was essentially fixed to the intracellular compartment of the roots, stems and leaves. In roots tissues, As was mainly retained in the rhizodermis and the pericycle. While in stems tissues, As was preferentially accumulated in the conductive bundles. In the leaves, the final destination of As was epidermis tissues.
Adaptation of First-Year Architectural Design Studio Resources Through Accessibility

This paper aims to discuss possible adaptations of the essential resources for the first-year architectural design studio's second term under COVID-19 lockdown regulations through experiences from MEF University First-Year Design Studio. Design Studio fundamentals, such as accessibility and materiality, needed to be adapted to studio participants' changing opportunities and places. The second term of the first-year design studio at MEF University is built upon the basic knowledge gained from the first term by improving its physical aspects such as structure, material, and site by forming direct relationships with the resources through analysis and experimentation. Its adaptation to remote studio poses significant difficulties with its intense tactile and material state. New resources and adaptations to the remote studio are grouped under three categories: Curriculum, studio as a workspace, and site. Remote studio experiences are analyzed through changing resources to uncover new possible achievements. Even though there are still irreplaceable components of the regular studio structure, the paper searches for possible adaptations to overcome these challenges of architectural design studio during remote teaching by reassessment of the resources with the accessibility theme.

SLEEP QUALITY IN MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN: FOCUS ON THE IMPACT OF DAYTIME DROWSINESS, PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF DISEASE, AND SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE TIME

Middle age is the stage between maturity and old age among the developmental stages of life. During this period, in addition to physi-cal changes due to aging and endocrine imbalance, adaptation to various psychological and social changes occur including changing roles in the family, social support system, and loss of relationships between individuals. It is also a time to re-evaluate yourself and your life. Purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of daytime drowsiness, presence or absence of disease, and sunlight expo-sure time on the sleep quality of middle-aged women. The subjects of this study were 125 women middle-aged 40-60 years old, wom-en who were not currently receiving any disease or hormone therapy. Subjects personally recorded on the mobile questionnaire using their mobile phone face to face, and data were collected in compliance with ethical guidelines. Data were collected using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) for sleep quality and Questionnaire on Daytime Drowsiness. According to research results, presence or absence of disease and daytime drowsiness were variables affecting sleep quality in middle-aged women. These two factors were able to explain the sleep quality of middle-aged women by 17.8% and it was statistically significant. However, the time of exposure to sun-light did not affect. In order to improve the quality of sleep in middle-aged women, non-drug interventions with fewer side effects that can improve sleep effects are needed. Therefore, when developing nursing intervention for improving sleep quality in middle-aged women, it is necessary to consider the conditions of disease and daytime drowsiness identified in this study.
The update of immigrant Red Sea fish of Egyptian Mediterranean waters during (2013-2021)

Thirty nine immigrant fish species from the Red sea were observed in seven regions of Egyptian Mediterranean waters during 2013- 2021. These were divided according to their importance in the fish markets into economic species (18) and non-economic species (21). Port- Said region (North opening of Suez Canal) constituted high percentage of occurrence (49.1% of all species) followed by Alexandria (41.9%), Abu-Qir (5.2%) and Marsa Matruh (3.7%). Thirteen new species were recorded in the present review whereas fifteen fish species in the checklist given by Halim and Rizkalla (2011) were not encountered in the study area during the study period. Alepes djedaba and Siganus rivulatus were the most important economic species established in Port Said region, whereas Nemipterus randalli and Sargocentrum rubrum were the more dominant in Alexandria region, Also Nemipterus randalli was well established in Abu-Qir area while Upeneus pori was abundant in Marsa Matruh region.

The relationship between online political participation and privacy protection: evidence from 10 Asian societies of different levels of cybersecurity

ABSTRACT Information disclosure during online political activities can place participants under the threat of personal data leakage and misuse, but privacy protection in the context of online political participation has rarely been studied. This study examined how online political participation is related to privacy protection behaviours. Using survey data of internet users from 10 Asian societies, our study suggests two important findings. First, online political participation was found to be positively related to privacy protection behaviours. Second, we examined whether such a positive association can be explained by two mediators: perceived privacy risk and internet efficacy, in countries of different cybersecurity capacity. Our data suggest that internet efficacy mediates the relationship between online political participation and privacy protection behaviours across countries with different levels of cybersecurity capacity, while perceived privacy risk only mediates the effects of online political participation on privacy protection behaviours in countries of low cybersecurity capacity.
PREDICTION OF ANTI-ALZHEIMER’S ACTIVITY OF FLAVONOIDS TARGETING CD33 THROUGH IN-SILICO APPROACH

Objective: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive, fatal brain disorder that would be putting a growing strain on health and social care systems. Present anti-AD agents are limited in their application due to their adverse effects, toxicity, and limited targets in AD pathology. As a result, it is important to develop an AD-fighting compound. Some flavonoids (such as kaempferol, myricetin, quercetin, and syringetin) have been shown to be effective in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Methods: We chose 284 flavonoids from the NPACT database for molecular docking studies in order to examine their binding interactions with the Alzheimer target protein CD33. Results: These compounds exhibited significant docking interactions with a variety of targets implicated in the pathogenesis of AD. We chose the top three compounds (Rutin, Morin, and,4,4'-Trihydroxydihydrochalcone) based on the scoring parameter. Conclusion: These compounds exhibited favorable pharmacokinetic properties, indicating that they could be attractive drug candidates for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Introduction: Our objective was to evaluate clinical results and functional outcomes of extraarticular distal tibia fracture treated using anatomical osteosyntheses by minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) technique. Materials and Methods: 30 patients of closed distal tibial extraarticular fractures operated by MIPPO technique from November 2018 to October 2019 with age from 20 to 60 years with or without fibula fracture upto 5 cm proximal to distal tibiofibular syndesmotic joint were included in the study. Clinical and radiological assessment for fracture union were performed at 3 weeks,12 weeks and 24 weeks interval and results were analysed by using AOFAS Ankle-Hind foot scale. Results: Thirty patients were followed for 6 months with mean fracture healing time was 16 weeks (12-60 weeks). 14 patients had excellent results with AOFAS score with two patients (6.7%) had delayed union and one patient (3.3%) developed superficial infection but fractures united completely. Conclusion: Minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis technique is an effective method of treatment for distal tibial fractures, it provides good, stable fixation with minimal complications.
Valoración del paisaje de la Reserva de la Biosfera Isla de Cozumel por la población local y visitantes

En años recientes estudiar la percepción del paisaje y valorar su estética se ha convertido en un área de interés. La evaluación visual del paisaje valora qué tan bello es un paisaje y trata de identificar lo que motiva su preferencia. Conocer la valoración de un paisaje puede contribuir al desarrollo de propuestas para su conservación y uso. El paisaje es un recurso frágil y difícil de renovar, por ello ha sufrido transformaciones a una escala global provocando su deterioro o pérdida. El paisaje costero es uno de los que ha sufrido grandes cambios por la presión que genera la población y por las actividades económicas que se asocian a él, como el turismo que ha tenido un crecimiento acelerado en las costas. En este trabajo se realizó una evaluación visual de paisaje en la Reserva de la Biosfera isla de Cozumel, mediante el uso de fotografías que representaban las diferentes unidades visuales de los paisajes. La técnica que se usó fue un test de pares de fotos y se aplicó a la población local y a los visitantes. Para todos los paisajes evaluados, los resultados sugieren que las preferencias de ambos grupos muestran la misma tendencia. Los paisajes naturales más valorados por ambos grupos fueron los de costa arenosa y los menos valorados los de manglar y selva. Por otro lado, de los paisajes rurales, ambos grupos valoraron mejor aquellos que tenían vestigios arqueológicos; en cuanto a los paisajes urbanos, los del malecón fueron mejor valorados por ambos grupos vs. los paisajes del interior de la ciudad. A pesar de que el manglar y la selva tienen un alto valor ecológico son los menos valorados, lo que muestra su vulnerabilidad al cambio; aquí recae la importancia de estos estudios con el fin de establecer estrategias para lograr la revalorización del paisaje.
