Authors: Zhu Qiang , Guo Sujing , Gui Lanlan
Published: September 2024

The Third Front Construction was a major national strategy implemented by China in the 1960s, aimed at promoting the industrialization of the central and western regions while addressing external security threats. This initiative not only laid a solid foundation for China’s industrialization but also revealed unique paths of Chinese modernization, such as regional coordinated development and the integration of national defense and economic growth. However, the Third Front Construction also brought about environmental degradation and over-exploitation of resources, providing important lessons for contemporary China’s development. In the modernization process, it is crucial to draw on the experiences of the Third Front Construction, focusing on regional coordinated development and enhancing social mobilization capabilities. By summarizing the experiences and lessons of the Third Front Construction, this paper provides historical references and future directions for the development of Chinese-style modernization.

Published: September 2024

Perforated peptic ulcers remain a life-threatening condition despite advancements in surgical and medical treatments. Accurate risk stratification of patients can improve outcomes by guiding clinical decision-making. The Boey scoring system is widely used for predicting mortality in patients with perforated peptic ulcers, yet its diagnostic accuracy warrants further evaluation. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the Boey score in predicting 30-day mortality among patients with perforated peptic ulcers. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Surgical Unit VI, Civil Hospital Karachi, over a six-month period from December 7, 2020, to June 7, 2021. A total of 149 patients diagnosed with perforated peptic ulcers were included using non-probability consecutive sampling. The Boey score was calculated for each patient based on preoperative shock, comorbid illness, and duration of perforation >24 hours. The primary outcome measure was 30-day mortality. Descriptive statistics were used to assess the frequency distribution of mortality, and the association between Boey score and mortality was analysed using appropriate statistical methods, with significance set at p < 0.05. Results: The study included 149 patients, with a minimum age of 21 and a maximum age of 50. Of the total, 32 patients (21.5%) experienced 30-day mortality. Among patients with a Boey score of 1, 2.68% had 30-day mortality, and 0.67% of patients with a Boey score of 2 died. Patients with a Boey score of 3 had the highest mortality rate, with 18.1% of this group experiencing 30-day mortality. In contrast, 81.9% of patients with a Boey score of 1 to 3 survived beyond 30 days. Conclusion: The Boey scoring system demonstrated vital predictive accuracy for 30-day mortality in patients with perforated peptic ulcers. This scoring tool effectively identifies high-risk patients, allowing for timely and appropriate management. Despite modern treatment advances, perforated peptic ulcer remains associated with significant mortality, particularly in high-risk patients, as identified by the Boey score.

Published: September 2024

Acute myocardial infarction (MI) can result in varying degrees of heart block, most commonly in inferior wall MI. Identifying the reversibility of complete heart block (CHB) is crucial for guiding clinical management, particularly in determining the need for temporary or permanent pacemaker implantation. Objective: To determine the frequency of reversibility of complete heart block in patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction at Bolan Medical Complex, Quetta. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Bolan Medical Complex, Quetta, from March 2022 to June 2023. A total of 100 patients aged 18–65 years presenting with syncope and atypical chest pain were included. All patients underwent coronary angiography to identify ischemic causes of bradyarrhythmias. Temporary pacemaker dependency was monitored for two weeks, and permanent pacemaker implantation was performed if necessary. Data on demographic and clinical characteristics were collected and analyzed using SPSS version 22.0. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and the association between heart block reversibility and clinical variables was assessed using the Chi-square test, with p ≤ 0.05 considered significant. Results: The mean age of the patients was 52.5 ± 14.8 years, with 60% male and 40% female patients. The prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, and smoking was 40%, 55%, and 43%, respectively. CHB occurred in 7% of patients aged 16-35 years and 8% in those aged 36-65 years. The overall reversibility rate of CHB was 48%. A statistically significant association (p < 0.05) was found between second-degree atrioventricular (AV) block and CHB in relation to reversibility. Conclusion: Complete heart block in patients with acute myocardial infarction is often reversible, particularly in those with mild coronary artery disease. Temporary pacemaker use should be considered before deciding on permanent pacemaker implantation to allow time for potential spontaneous recovery.

Authors: Gurba Jared E. , Weiss-Laxer Nomi S. , Haider Mohammad N. , Marzo John M.
Published: September 2024

Introduction:

This study aimed to (1) compare patient-reported outcome measures between patients who underwent medial meniscus root tear (MMRT) repair and those who underwent other types of medial meniscus repair, and (2) identify factors associated with observed differences.

Methods:

A literature search identified studies reporting PROMs—knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) or visual analog scale (VAS) for pain—after repair of the medial meniscus. Studies were excluded if outcomes were not separated by tear type or reported graphically, different or no outcomes reported, no repair or repair with a sutureless method, follow-up greater than 72 months, case report, and systematic review. Patient-reported outcome measures and demographics were summarized as sample-weighted means and compared using t-tests. Mixed model linear regressions were fit predicting postoperative PROMs adjusted for tear type, preoperative PROMs, and follow-up time. F statistics of type III tests of fixed effects were compared.

Results:

Eighteen articles were included, n = 10 received MMRT repair and n = 8 other tear repairs. Postoperative values for all KOOS scores were less for the MMRT repair group compared with the other tear repair group, VAS pain was not statistically different. Tear type was a stronger predictor for postoperative PROMs than the preoperative score and duration of follow-up for all KOOS scores, but not VAS pain. On average, the MMRT repair group had shorter follow-up, more women, older age, and greater BMI.

Discussion:

All postoperative PROMs except for VAS pain were worse for patients who underwent MMRT repair compared with patients who underwent other types of medial meniscus repair. Tear type was a better predictor of postoperative PROMs despite intergroup differences in preoperative PROMs and duration of follow-up. Relative risk factors for MMRT compared with other types of medial meniscus tears include older age, greater BMI, and female sex.

Authors: Myanikov Vladimir
Published: September 2024

This study explores the propagation of light in optical fibers, focusing on the fundamental principles and practical implications for fiber optic technologies. By analyzing the wave equation, the research demonstrates that light propagates as cylindrical waves within the fiber, contrasting with spherical waves in free space. The study highlights the significance of Gaussian beams, particularly from helium-neon lasers, finding a beam waist radius of approximately 12.6 μm and its position about 1.25 μm from the focus. These parameters are critical for optimizing laser beam coupling into the fiber. The research also measures the light transit time through a 100-meter fiber, revealing a light speed of approximately 2×108 m/sec, which is influenced by the fiber's refractive index. Additionally, the relationship between diode laser output power and injection current was investigated, demonstrating a linear correlation crucial for practical applications. The findings emphasize the importance of accurate measurements and configuration in improving fiber optic communication and laser performance. This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights into the design and optimization of optical fiber systems, contributing to advancements in communication and laser technologies.

Published: September 2024

Objective: The Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) is a useful tool for predicting chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression to end-stage renalkidney disease (ESRD). It has been validated in various countries populations. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of the KFRE model in a Turkish CKD cohort.
Materials and Methods: In a prior retrospective study at a single center, the 4-variable KFRE model's accuracy in predicting end-stage renal disease (ESRD) progression was assessed. Among 246 stage 3 or 4 CKD individuals, two-year risk predictions categorized participants into low-intermediate (<20%) and high (≥20%) risk groups.
Results: The model showed a sensitivity of 48.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] 34.08–63.94) and a specificity of 89.45% (95% CI 84.32–93.35) in predicting kidney failure progression in the Turkish population with stage 3–4 CKD. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.69 (95% CI 0.60–0.79, p = 0.0001). Albuminuria, glomerular filtration rate, and renin–aldosterone system blockage were independently associated with kidney failure progression according to the Cox regression analysis.
Conclusion: The findings of this study have demonstrated that the Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) model shows potential utility in predicting the progression of stage 3–4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) toward the critical stage of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) for the Turkish population.

Long-term effects of prophylactic oophorectomy in women at high familial risk of breast and ovarian cancer
Authors:   , Terra Lara
Published: September 2024

This thesis describes the results of two studies: first, the HARMOny study on long-term health effects of risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy before natural menopause on sexual functioning, urogenital functioning and neurocognitive functioning. To summarize the results of the HARMOny study; we found that, at least 15 years after RRSO, timing of RRSO (i.e. premenopausal versus postmenopausal, and early premenopausal versus later premenopausal) did not influence sexual pleasure, urge urinary incontinence, and objective cognitive functioning. We did observe, however, more vaginal dryness, sexual discomfort, more stress urinary incontinence and worse subjective cognitive functioning in women with a premenopausal RRSO compared with women with a postmenopausal RRSO. However, these differences were small, and although they were statistically significant, it can be debated whether they are clinically relevant. Within the premenopausal group we found no differences between women with an early premenopausal RRSO and women with a later premenopausal RRSO. MHT use did influence the results: women who used MHT at time of study reported less vaginal dryness, but more subjective complaints of forgetfulness. Women who formerly used MHT reported more urinary incontinence. These results can be explained by the working mechanism of MHT, or by confounding by indication. Overall, these results are reassuring for all women undergoing RRSO.

In the second study that is part of this thesis, we investigated if BC patients carrying a BRCA1/2pv are at higher risk to develop ischemic heart disease or heart failure after treatment for BC than BC patients who do not carry a pathogenic variant in BRCA1/2 genes. After a median follow-up of 14.0 years since BC treatment, we showed that BC patients with BRCA1/2pv had a slightly, but non-significantly increased risk of ischemic heart disease. We specifically looked at interaction between a pathogenic variant in BRCA1/2 and radiotherapy to the internal mammary chain in the development of ischemic heart disease, as the heart and major blood vessels are located directly in this radiation field. We found no evidence of such an interaction. We also found no evidence for an increased risk of heart failure in BRCA carriers. Nor did we find interaction between a pathogenic variant in BRCA1/2 and anthracycline-based chemotherapy when considering heart failure as an outcome. Our data does not support a greater sensitivity of BRCA1/2pv carriers to the cardiotoxicity of BC radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Overall, the risks of developing BC treatment-associated ischemic heart disease and heart failure are similarly increased in women carrying a BRCA1/2pv and other patients with BC. These results are reassuring for patients carrying a BRCA1/2pv. In general, clinicians should be alert to the increased risk of CVD in patients with BC treated with anthracycline-based chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy to the internal mammary chain, both in BRCA1/2pv carriers and in other patients with BC.

This study aimed to assess the prevalence and levels of aflatoxin B1 in broiler meat and feed samples from various zones of Sindh, Pakistan, conducted at Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam, during 2022-2023. A total of 360 broiler meat and feed samples, with 120 from southern, central, and northern zones, were collected from retail shops and poultry farms. All samples were screened for aflatoxin B1 using the ELISA Bio-Shield Total Extra Sensitive Kit. Negative samples were spiked with 5 and 10g/kg aflatoxin B1 for validation. The southern zone had the highest contamination of aflatoxin B1 in broiler meat (58.33%; 36.50±2.08 µg/Kg) and feed (67.50%; 66.20±1.15 µg/Kg), followed by the central zone (40.00%; 32.60±1.64 µg/Kg) and the northern zone (25.00%; 20.90±2.82 µg/Kg). Contamination levels in feed samples were also higher in the southern zone compared to central (48.30%; 56.25±0.87µg/Kg) and northern (28.30%; 47.55±1.50 µg/Kg) zones. The aflatoxin B1 levels in both meat and feed samples exceeded the FDA-recommended limit of 20 µg/Kg, posing a significant risk to food safety. These findings highlight the urgent need for a monitoring plan to mitigate aflatoxin contamination in broiler meat, poultry products, and feedstuffs across Sindh, Pakistan, to ensure safer food production.

Authors: Anastasia Lois , Abidin Zainal
Published: September 2024

This study explores the effectiveness of self-regulated learning (SRL) in students who pass the SNBT using e-learning as a learning medium. SRL is a process in which students independently manage and maintain their cognitive, emotional, and motivational aspects to achieve predetermined learning goals. Passing the SNBT is an achievement that requires students' learning independence. This research utilized a qualitative method with 4 students who passed the SNBT using e-learning as respondents, selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results of the study indicate that students who used e-learning in SNBT preparation successfully passed the selection and entered the best state universities due to their ability to self-regulate through three phases of SRL: planning, execution, and reflection. E-learning helped students set learning goals, choose appropriate learning strategies, and manage time effectively. During the execution phase, students were active in the learning process and adjusted methods as needed. In the reflection phase, students evaluated learning outcomes and made improvements based on feedback. Students who applied SRL demonstrated high learning independence and motivation. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating technology in education to enhance students' effectiveness and academic success.

The Impact of Exchange Rate Changes on Indonesian Exports
Authors: Denny Saputera  , John Henry Wijaya  , Rizqi Muttaqin
Published: September 2024

This study delves into how Exchange Rates and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) have shaped Indonesian exports over the past 17 years, from 2006 to 2022. On the whole, Indonesian exports have generally shown a positive trajectory during this period, although there have been occasional drops in specific years. The main countries that receive Indonesian exports are China, the United States, Japan, India, and Malaysia, and the primary export goods include coffee, animal and vegetable fats and oils, Crude Palm Oil (CPO), and coal. When we look at long-term model analyses, it becomes evident that exchange rates play a significant role in negatively affecting Indonesian exports.

Furthermore, GDP also exerts a notable negative influence on Indonesian exports, suggesting that the overall economic growth of the country can impact export levels.
