Authors: Aflakseir Abdulaziz , Rasooli Esini Muhammad , Goodarzi Muhammad , Molazadeh Javad
Published: December 2019

Objective: Stigma has a significant impact on the life of individuals with mental illness. The purpose of this study was to examine the association of contact with the mentally ill with stigmatizing attitudes in a group of college students.
Method: A total of 287 college students participated in this study. The participants were recruited from Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences using convenience sampling and completed the research measures including the Level of Familiarity (LOF) and the Attribution questionnaires (AQ). The data were analyzed using SPSS.
Results: The descriptive findings of this study showed that the participants’ highest score on stigmatizing attitudes was related to pity and the least score was related to anger towards people with mental illness. Furthermore, the regression analysis results indicated that personal contact, family contact, and work contact with individuals with mental illness significantly predicted stigma reduction, while other types of contacts with the mentally ill, such as friend contact, social contact, and media contact, did not significantly predict stigma reduction.
Conclusion: This study highlighted the significant role of having contact with the mentally ill in reducing stigmatizing attitudes towards them.

O conceito de cultura segundo futuros bibliotecários
Authors: Nunes Hellen Dos Santos
Published: December 2019

O artigo pretende observar como alunos do curso de biblioteconomia conceituam Cultura, a partir da análise de textos desenvolvidos por estudantes do primeiro período em que foi solicitado que se estabelecesse a relação entre cultura, educação e leitura. Por se tratar de profissionais que futuramente lidarão com um grande público, sendo responsáveis por organizar e promover a leitura (em ambiente escolar ou não), suas concepções podem afetar a forma que desenvolverão seu trabalho, privilegiando determinados aspectos em detrimento de outros, o que pode influenciar as decisões e percepções dos usuários desses espaços. Os textos recolhidos foram analisados comparativamente a partir do referencial teórico escolhido. O resultado mostra que os diferentes conceitos de cultura que os estudantes carregam consigo influenciam a forma como cada um definiu o termo, o que também pode influenciar suas futuras ações como profissionais.

Assim, a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica, análise documental e dados coletados em questionário semi-aberto, pudemos confirmar a importância do planejamento pedagógico no âmbito dos cursos de graduação e perceber que a participação dos sujeitos constitui um dos maiores entraves para sua efetiva realização.
Transformação curricular em uma escola de Educação Infantil no Piauí pelo viés da pesquisa e formação docente
Authors: Teles Fabricia Pereira
Published: December 2019

Este artigo, de modo geral, apresenta recorte de uma pesquisa de doutorado que discute, centralmente, a reorganização do currículo de uma escola de Educação Infantil a partir da implementação de um projeto de intervenção organizado por Atividades Sociais. Tal reorganização foi possível mediante intenso processo de formação contínua na escola envolvendo pesquisadora, gestora e professoras. Especialmente, o texto propõe discutir a formação docente de professores de Educação Infantil numa perspectiva que foge dos moldes clássicos de formação e caminha na direção de uma nova perspectiva voltada para reflexão-crítica que articule teoria-prática. Para tanto é apresentado excertos reveladores do processo de transformação que o currículo da escola sofreu com as aprendizagens favorecidas no processo de formação. A discussão se assenta na pesquisa crítica de colaboração-PCCol e no projeto intervencionista-revolucionário de Vigotski. A materialidade da investigação foi produzida em encontros de formação em uma escola de Educação Infantil localizada na cidade de Parnaíba-PI. No caso, três excertos são apresentados e analisados com base na perspectiva argumentativa da linguagem que dá indícios reveladores da transformação da prática, via formação. O entrelaçamento da formação contínua e a intervenção de um projeto com base em Atividades Sociais na escola propiciou cenários para desenvolvimento de uma prática docente articulada com a teoria e consequentemente a transformação do currículo escolar.Palavras-chave: Educação infantil. Formação contínua. Reorganização curricular
Análise de conteúdo: proposta curricular de Santa Catarina na perspectiva da educação em direitos humanos
Authors: Schelbauer Moreira Paes Simone , Moreira Paes Sabrina , Célia Castellain Guebert Mirian
Published: December 2019

A Declaração Universal de Direitos Humanos (DUDH) é documento que preza pela igualdade, o respeito às diversidades, a paz entre as nações, democratização e relevância da educação para a sociedade. A Educação na temática dos Direitos Humanos é considerada relevante e necessária nas redes de ensino. A promulgação das Diretrizes Nacionais para a Educação em Direitos Humanos (DNEDH), por meio da Resolução nº 1, de 30 de maio de 2012 organiza os processos educativos. O estado de Santa Catarina incluiu a Educação em Direitos Humanos na Proposta Curricular de 2014, sem referenciar as Diretrizes Nacionais. A ausência de tal menção definiu o objetivo deste trabalho que seria analisar de que forma a Proposta Curricular de Santa Catarina (PCSC) de 2014 contempla a Educação em Direitos Humanos. A metodologia utilizada foi a análise de conteúdo de Bardin. Os resultados obtidos foram baseados nos doze artigos considerados da DNEDH, sendo que nove estão contemplados na PCSC, totalizando 75% da implementação do que prevê a resolução 01/12. Contudo, a proposta está orientada por outros documentos nacionais que visam incluir uma Educação em Direitos Humanos, além de assegurar o direito de todos à educação e atender a diversidade da clientela contemporânea.
Hydrochlorothiazide and the risk of non-melanoma skin cancer: a critical review
Authors: Kobalava Zh. D. , Kokhan E. V. , Kiyakbaev G. K.
Published: December 2019

Several recent large studies, most of which were performed in Denmark, have revealed a link between hydrochlorothiazide use and the risk of non-melanoma skin cancer. Photosensitizing properties of hydrochlorothiazide, inherent in many antihypertensive drugs, are considered a key pathophysiological mechanism underlying this association. The results of these studies prompted an update to the recommendations of the European Medical Agency for the safety of hydrochlorothiazide. However, to date there have been no convincing evidence of causality of this association. The accumulation of data on usage of hydrochlorothiazide, the most widely used diuretic worldwide, made the discussion of this association possible despite the low prevalence of skin cancer. At the same time, the retrospective design of these studies should be considered, as well as limited sample and lack of adjustment for important confounders. Therefore, the results obtained in these studies must be interpreted with extreme caution to prevent the decrease in hypertension control due to reduced compliance with treatment, unjustified withdrawal or replacement of hydrochlorothiazide, including its fixed combinations, with other thiazide or thiazide-like diuretics, which also have photosensitizing action.
Association between heart rate response during orthostatic test and falls in polymorbid patients aged 60 years and older
Authors: Turusheva A. V. , Kotovskaya Yu. V. , Frolova E. V.
Published: December 2019

Background. Orthostatic hypotension is a significant risk factor of falling in older adults. To diagnose the orthostatic hypotension an orthostatic test is used with assessment of heart rate (HR) response, systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) at the 3rd minute after the rise. However, according to studies, measurement of SBP and DBP at the 1st minute after rising can be more sensitive to detect older adults at risk of falling than at 3rd minute.

Objective. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of changes in SBP, DBP and HR at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd minutes when performing an orthostatic test for identification of the elderly at high-risk of falls.

Design and methods. This cross-sectional study included 100 adults aged 59+. Among them women comprise 56 % (n = 56). The following procedures were performed: the orthostatic test, anthropometry, medical history, assessment of drug treatment, depression evaluation, dementia and the degree of autonomy decline.

Results. HR response at the 1st minute after the transition from horizontal to vertical position is more significant factor of falls risk than SBP and DBP changes during performing of orthostatic test. Absence of HR increasing during the transition from horizontal to vertical position associates with 10‑fold of risk falls among older adults: odds ratio 95 % confidence interval (OR 95 % CI) 10,5 (2,9–37,8). This association remained significant even after adjusting for age, gender, β-blockers use and comorbidity.

Conclusion. Absence of HR increasing during the transition from horizontal to vertical position is a high sensitive marker of detecting older adults with polymorbidity in patients with the high risk of falls.

We consider current problems of scientific and theoretical representations development about competitive infrastructure of Sports and ballroom dancing which are not provided with sufficient scientific comprehension. The purpose is to determine the basis of division used in the world practice of international organizations for sports and ballroom dancing for the classification of competitions, performers, their skills, etc. Interest in sports and ballroom dancing, as a form of social, cultural and leisure activities, increases every year not only abroad but also in Russia. Sports and ballroom dancing in its structure have two programs: Latin American, which includes dances – Cha-cha-cha, Rumba, Samba, Jive, Pasodoble and European, dance – slow waltz, Viennese (fast) waltz, Slow Foxtrot, Quickstep, Tango. Dance and sports clubs cover in their work all age categories from children of three years to people of retirement age. Dance associations are based in cultural institutions, cultural and leisure type, in secondary schools, and in higher educa-tion institutions in the framework of additional education or the organization of cultural and leisure activities. Each dance and sports club, as an element of the structure, is registered in any Russian official organization for ballroom dancing, which, in turn, is a regional and part of the international organization for ballroom dancing. Now, there are actively there are four: 1) WDSF – World DanceSport Federation; 2) WDC – World Dance Council; 3) IDSU – International Dance Sport Union; 4) IDSCA – International Dance Studios and Clubs Association. Each of the organizations provides, contests, competitions, tournaments, Championships of Europe, Asia, world, etc. To analyze the material, we use a comparative typological method. We discover the similarities features and differences in the international organizations activities in sports and ballroom dancing, this information is scientifically investigated for the first time. We define the importance of sports and ballroom dancing competitive and amateur infrastructure for the development of culture and strengthening of a population healthy lifestyle. Also, for the first time in scientific circulation we introduce a systematic material on the activities of international organizations in sports and ballroom dancing.
Approaches to fractal modeling of development processes of the South Russian frontier zone: new version of the model
Authors: Zhukov Dmitry , Kanishchev Valery , Lyamin Sergey
Published: December 2019

We propose new approaches to the fractal modeling of development processes of the South Russian frontier zone. We propose to consider these processes in more partitive periods of time and at the level of individual settlements development that arose on the frontier territory. We introduce materials of statistical and reference publications of the first half of the 19th century. Study of new materials allowed to generate new model indicators: the ratio of agriculture and farming in individual counties; the compliance degree of grain prices in towns of frontier zones to the metropolis prices. In the result we refine the previously formulated provision stating that by the mid 19th century all counties of South-Central Russia became part of the Old-Moscow metropolis. We specify that on 1820 and 1840 time segments isolated counties remained not fully developed in economic and social terms. We outline the first approaches to modeling the development processes of the frontier zone at the settlement level on such criteria as the period of foundation, social composition of the first settlers, places of settlement. Changes in the social composition of the individual settlements population during the frontier development.
The role of building fortified lines and new cities in the formation of southeastern borders of Russia in the 17th – 18th centuries
Authors: Bukanova Roza
Published: December 2019

The study of the process of state territory expansion and the formation of state borders is a relevant problem of historical science. We set a goal: to show how this process went on in the Southeast of Russia in the 17th – 18th centuries. In the context of the regionalization of domestic historical science, frontier theory is an important methodological tool. It allows applying theoreti-cal and concrete historical scientists’ solutions to the study of the southeastern frontier of Russia obtained as a result of studying other border territories, in particular the southern and Volga fron-tier. The main results of this study define the southeast frontier and sets its geographic parameters, covering mainly the territory of Bashkiria, which has been part of Russia since the middle of the 16th century. We substantiate the role of fortress cities and fortified lines in the formation of the southeast frontier zone. We show the process of state borders formation in this region. We draw conclusion that, regardless of the construction motives, the fortress cities became a political tool for securing new lands within the Russian state, and contributed to the gradual transformation of the frontier territory into an internal region (county, governorate).
Military garrisons formation on the South of Russia in 17th century
Authors: Mizis Yury
Published: December 2019

We propose a systematic approach to the study of the South Russian counties garrisons formation principles located along the Belgorod and Tambov lines. We consider the state policy on attraction of various categories of the population for record in military people, including differ-ent social groups: peasants, relatives of service class people, townspeople. Particular attention is paid to attracting immigrants from the Don and Ukraine to new countries. We note economic and social measures to attract migrants. On the basis of new documents we trace the policy of the Russian government on forcible resettlement to the southern border of exiles which in the middle of 17th century considerably strengthened a number of local garrisons. We emphasize the predominant role of government colonization of the southern suburbs in the 17th century.
Organizational and pedagogical conditions of master students teaching written academic discourse
Authors: Dronov Ivan
Published: December 2019

The higher education intensive development current trend with the help of innovative approaches to systematization necessitates the creation of system organizational and pedagogical conditions to achieve the maximum effect of foreign language teaching. In this paper we give the author’s definition of this system as a set of interconnected components necessary for the formation of written academic discourse skills. This system includes the following components (conditions): a) motivation; b) formedness of the students and teachers linguistic and computer competence; c) the language proficiency of students and teachers which is not below the C1 level on the common European of reference for language proficiency; d) the implementation of the technology “Learning in cooperation”; e) combination of classroom and extracurricular forms of work. We note the commonality of the methodological functions of the various types of self extracurricular work and skills in writing academic discourse, and develop a list of types of extracurricular forms of work and develop with them the skills of written academic discourse: writing an essay on a giv-en topic, composing a Curriculum Vitae, writing an structural abstract, writing review of the work read, writing essays on writing speech given at scientific conferences, writing scientific papers, applications for participation in scientific events, the abstract writing for scientific article, writing report, writing poster presentation. We also propose a definition of the term “linguistic and com-puter competence”, which is interpreted as the set of language competencies and skills of modern information and communication technologies necessary for mastering of communicative skills in learning a foreign language.
Economic importance of park and garden zones of landowners’ estates of the Tambov Governorate in the second half of the 19th – early 20th century
Authors: Zhitin Ruslan
Published: December 2019

The relevance of the study is determined by the need to fill the historiographical gap in the study of the parks and gardens history of Tambov estates. We consider the problem of organization of park and garden zones of Tambov landowners’ possessions in the post-reform period. We show changes in regional features of the landscape, composition, structure and elements of the park organization. We study the main reasons for the decline in park creation after 1861, the pecu-liarity and depth of this process. We show the influence of the economic crisis on Tambov land-owner’s position as a part of consideration about the sources of green areas depletion of Tambov estates. We reveal that the owners needed time for the economic adaptation of the estates, there was not enough money to establish profitable savings and to form a new property administration system. In relation to the history of Tambov mansions, we identify a number of new areas of park art (commercial gardens). We analyze the process of gradual transformation of the regular and landscape style in the planning of green areas. This material allowed us to show that, thanks to creative continuity and the accumulation of valuable practical skills, landowners of the pre-reform time largely managed to overcome the gap between two epochs, and opened a new page in the development of Russian park-building. Considering the specific changes in the park areas of the Tambov Governorate estates, we analyze the material on the possessions of the Chicherins, Vorontsov-Dashkovs, Lodygins, Petrovo-Solovovs and Orlovs-Davydovs. A feature of the parks and gardens of these landowners was a symbiosis of the local flora and samples adapted to local conditions uncharacteristic for the Tambov nature. The desire to increase the attractiveness of their parks forced the owners to look for new plants to create original exteriors. A separate aspect of the study is the characteristic of commercial gardening in Tambov estates, the specificity of forestry in large economies of the region.
“Mansurov project” of the Russian Palestine (based on materials from a trip in 1857 to Holy Places)
Authors: Allenov Andrey
Published: December 2019

We consider the activity of B.P. Mansurov in organizing Russian pilgrimage to the Holy Land. We describe the preparation, course and results of B.P. Mansurov’s trip to the Orthodox East (1857) that largely predetermined the nature of the Russian presence in Palestine. In the framework of this trip, we consider the reasons for creating the joint-stock company “Russian Company of Shipping and Trading”. We reveal that created as an attempt to preserve the presence of Russia on the Black Sea coast, the company set the task to facilitate the movement of Russian pilgrims to Palestine and Athos. By this step, the Russian government intended to increase Russia’s humanitarian influence in the region. We pay attention to B.P. Mansurov’s service instructions in trip to the East, the significance of his work for the publication of the “Guide to the Orthodox Worshiper to Holy Places”, and also Mansurov’s own views on the problem of Russian Orthodox pilgrimage in Palestine. We show that B.P. Mansurov’s program envisaged an increase in the intensity of the steamship communication with Palestine, the acquisition of land and construction of pilgrimage shelters, the erection of temples for the Russian worship. The development issues of Orthodox pilgrimage should be managed through the Russian consulates operating in the Middle East, including in Jerusalem itself. Consideration of results of the journey in 1857 allowed to draw conclusions about the significant role of B.P. Mansurov in the history of the Russian presence in the Holy Land.

Published: December 2019

Formation and preservation of social health of children is an urgent issue of pedagogical theory and practice. Trends in educational systems, interdisciplinary analysis of the concept, age approach allows to consider the social health of the child as a result of educational activity. Interrelation of pedagogical and administrative result of educational activity, examples of levels, criteria and indicators of social health of the child’s personality taking into account age. We conclude that the effectiveness of educational activities in the direction of the formation of social health of the child is the basis for the social security of the individual and society, education of a new culture of interaction that ensures the success of children in different fields of activity with the prospect of their future profession. Social health of a child’s personality is in social, soft skills (emotional intelligence, critical thinking, creativity, stress resistance, etc.). The pilot study confirmed the hypothesis that the increase in the effectiveness of educational activities is associated with the intensive inclusion of trainings on the development of social skills of the child, monitoring and active seminars for educators on the development of innovative technologies to ensure the social health of the child.
From Medication to Meditation: A Critical Disability Studies Analysis of Mindfulness-Based Practices for Children With Learning Disabilities
Authors: Peddigrew Emma , McNamara John
Published: December 2019

Throughout the past 70 years, the field of LDs has aimed to support children, youth, as well as their families, to generate definitions, understand neurological contributions and create meaningful policies and practices. However, despite decades of research, an emphasis on early identification and prevention, and significant policy documents, children and youth with LDs continue to face equally as important difficulties related to one’s social and emotional well-being. Critical disability studies (CDS) identifies how political, educational, and social contexts serve as sites for (in)justice (Shildrick, 2007). A CDS framework aims to resist the emphasis of individual impairment and deficiency while incorporating the interests and voices of the individuals with disabilities themselves. Few studies have analyzed the impact of mindfulness on how children with LDs cope with stress, ‘failure’, and understand their bodies. As a result, this paper will ask: how can mindfulness-based practices be used as a tool to improve the overall well-being of children and youth with a LD? With support from CDS and the utilization of mindfulness-based practices, children and youth with LDs can become connected to the body and mind. This study will enable future research on the importance of self-advocacy, coping, confidence, attention, and emotional regulation for children with LDs. It is through these liberating frameworks that children with LDs can become emancipated from political, historic, social, and cultural constraints.

Apis dorsata Binghami is a Sulawesi endemic honey bee. Apis dorsata Binghami cannot be bred, so it still lives wildlyin the forests of Sulawesi. However, Apis dorsata Binghami produces more honey, compared to all honey bee species. Furthermore, the diversity of plants as a source of nectar, pollen and plant resin, which is used in the formation of nests and honey is more, than all types of honey bees in the world. Ethnomedically, the Minahasa community has long used honeynest for degenerative diseases such as hyperlipidemia and cancer. Nevertheless, there have been no research reports on bioactive content and bioactivity of Apis dorsataBinghami nest extract.  This research wasaimed to determinethe bioactive content of honey bee nest and to obtain the inhibitory concentration 50 (IC50) antioxidant activity of honey bee nest extractofApis dorsata Binghami. Honey bee nest was obtained directly from the forest of Minahasa peninsula, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Extraction of fresh honey bee nest was conductedusingmaceration method. Bioactive content analysis was carried out by the Harborne method, followed by analysis using UV Vis spectrophotometer and High performance liquid chromatography. IC50antioxidant activity of honey bee nest extract was obtained using DPPH free radical reduction method. The results showed that Apis dorsata Binghami honey bee nest extract containedalkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, steroids and triterpenoids. Identified flavonoids displayed the highest phytochemical content. Based on the results of HPLC and UV Vis spectrophotometer analysis, there were 20 flavonoid derivatives found in honey bee nest samples in Minahasa. Ethanol extract and n-hexane extract showed high free radical reduction activity compared to vitamin C as a control treatment. However, ethanol extract produced the highest DPPH free radical reduction activity.
The Impact of Socioeconomic Status on Outcomes in Orthopaedic Surgery
Authors: Li Xinning , Galvin Joseph W. , Li Chris , Agrawal Ravi , Curry Emily J.
Published: December 2019

➢Social determinants of healthis considered an umbrella term that includes factors such as education level, income and occupation, social class, social status, race, ethnicity, and sex.

➢ Socioeconomic status (SES) is a fundamental cause of health-care disparities and is a critical issue affecting all fields of medicine. In orthopaedic surgery, the quality of care provided, whether by surgical intervention or nonoperative treatment, is closely intertwined with social factors related to the SES of a patient.

➢ SES is a known predictor of morbidity and mortality within different orthopaedic subspecialties, and modifiable factors contributing to low SES must be evaluated and optimized to reduce health-care disparities.

➢ With the emergence of value-based health care and solutions seeking to improve outcomes and reduce cost, progress is being made toward reducing negative surgical outcome predictors associated with SES.

➢ With the transition from fee-for-service models to alternate payment models based on practice-specific quality data, identification and risk adjustment based on SES variables will be critical to prevent patient exclusion, delay in care, and misrepresentation of a surgeon’s relative performance based on patient-reported outcomes.
Quo Vadis Legal Protection of Traditional Batik Copyrights in Indonesia Local Government
Authors: Arifin Zainal , Hasyim Mochammad Wachid
Published: December 2019

This research is motivated by the existence of philosophical, juridical and theoretical problems. Philosophically batik must be protected, because it is a unique work created by creative individuals. Juridical problems are unclear rules about traditional batik. The theoretical problem is between das sein and das solen, it should theoretically be that all traditional batik motifs from the creativity of residents in Kediri City must be registered as the copyright of each craftsman. But in reality, the craftsmen have not registered their work with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia to obtain a copyright license. So that the craftsmen have yet to get the legal protection of the batik copyright they created. The issues raised are (1) How to carry out the legal protection of traditional batik art copyrights in the City of Kediri and (2) the factors that hinder traditional batik craftsmen in Kediri City do not take care of their copyright. This study uses empirical research methods with a sociological juridical approach. From the research, it was found that the legal protection of batik batik copyright in Kediri was done by registering the copyright and the traditional batik brand rights. While the factor that hinders the batik craftsmen from registering their copyright is the lack of awareness of traditional batik craftsmen about copyright, the process of obtaining a copyright that is considered not easy and requires a high cost.

El proyecto se centra en el estudio del largo camino recorrido por la mujer desde el ámbito doméstico hasta el ámbito extradoméstico o público, desde los tiempos modernos a la actualidad. Abordándose desde la transversalidad que permiten diversas disciplinas (Historia Moderna, Historia de América, Historia del Arte y Didáctica de las Ciencias Sociales), dicho trabajo permite ser analizado desde diferentes perspectivas: mujeres que, ya desde las centurias modernas, se atreven a transgredir las normas de comportamiento vigentes; que participan en acontecimientos claves de la contemporaneidad como la revolución industrial, los movimientos obreros, el activismo político; que adquieren relevancia en el mecenazgo artístico o que, en calidad de pintoras y escultoras, convierten el arte en su profesión; así como mujeres que van asumiendo un creciente protagonismo en la educación, en la instrucción de algunas disciplinas o en la evolución de los Derechos Humanos.

La utilidad de los algoritmos en las especialidades médicas ha sido ampliamente documentada, aunque su empleo en sanidad animal resulta poco frecuente. Para este estudio se ha creado un algoritmo que incluyó el diagnóstico diferencial de los procesos infecciosos respiratorios y digestivos en la especie porcina. A continuación, se realizó una práctica con alumnos de tercer curso del Grado en Veterinaria de la asignatura “Enfermedades Infecciosas”, a los que se les ha facilitado información y la posibilidad de solicitar hasta cuatro pruebas diagnósticas laboratoriales para identificar correctamente el agente etiológico. Tras un período para la resolución del caso, en la que solo algunos grupos identificaron correctamente la enfermedad, se les facilitó el algoritmo, lo que permitió que todos los alumnos acertaran el diagnóstico. Finalizada la práctica, a los alumnos se les pasó una encuesta acerca de su experiencia con los algoritmos y su grado de satisfacción. El uso de algoritmos ha demostrado ser útil para la resolución de casos en la asignatura de enfermedades infecciosas según el 100% de los alumnos, habiendo un 96,9% de los mismos que los consideran útiles en el ámbito profesional. La práctica ha sido evaluada con un elevado grado de satisfacción (8,72 de media).

Objective: Activation of pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) is detrimental to pancreas function by promoting pancreatic fibrosis. Resveratrol is a natural and pharmacologically active compound. This study is to investigate the effect of resveratrol on the bilogical behavior of PSCs under high glucose condition.Methods: Isolated primary mouse PSCs were cultured in low glucose ( 5.5 mmol/L glucose, LG group ) medium, high glucose ( 25 mmol/L glucose, HG group ) medium and treated with  resveratrol ( 25 μmol/L or 50 μmol/L). Cell proliferation was examined using MTT assay. The expression of α-SMA and collagen I were determined using Western blotting. Alpha-SMA expression was also determined using immunocytochemistry staining. IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α mRNA levels and secretion levels in media of PSCs were determined using qRT-PCR and ELISA respectively.Results: Cell Proliferation,  α-SMA and collagen I  expression levels, IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α mRNA levels and secretion levels of PSCs were increased after high glucose treatment, compared with low glucose treatment. They were significantly decreased in PSCs treated with both high glucose and resveratrol, compared with high glucose treatment.Conclusion: Resveratrol inhibited high glucose induced PSCs proliferation, activation，cytokine expression and secretion in PSCs. Therefore, resveratrol can be potentially used in therapy of diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer where PSCs is activated by high glucose.

To summarize the lot release of live attenuated yellow fever vaccine in China during 2011-2018 and evaluate the total quality as well as problem in quality control of the vaccine. By reviewing the data and laboratory test，34 batches of live attenuated yellow fever vaccine were determined for virus titer according to the standard for license, of which 52 batches were determined for ovalbumin residue by ELISA, and 14 batches for moisture. The determination results were subjected to statistical and quality trend analyses, and compared with those by the manufacturers，based on which the general status of vaccine quality was reviewed. All the determination results of virus titer, ovalbumin residue and moisture met the requirements in Chinese Pharmacopoeia, and there is no difference in those by the manufacturers and those by the National Institutes for Food and Drug Control . The quality of live attenuated yellow fever vaccine was stable, which met the requirements in Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The implementation of lot release, batch inspection and trend analysis may effectively regulate and supervise the vaccine production．

Background: Studies report serious adherence problems among youth (individuals age 15 to 24 years of age) in Uganda. Recent growth in mobile phone ownership has highlighted the potential of using text-based interventions to improve antiretroviral treatment (ART) adherence among Ugandan youth. We piloted a randomized controlled trial of a text-based intervention providing weekly real-time antiretroviral adherence feedback, based on information from a smart pill box, to HIV-positive Ugandan youth. In this paper, we report the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary impact of the intervention.
Methods: We randomized participants to a control group, or to receive messages with information on either their own adherence levels (Treatment 1 - T1), or their own adherence and peer adherence levels (Treatment 2 – T2). We conducted six focus groups with providers and youth ages 15-24, double coded 130 excerpts, and achieved a pooled Cohen’s Kappa of 0.79 and 0.80 based on 34 randomly selected excerpts.
Result: The quantitative and qualitative data show that the intervention was deemed acceptable and feasible. After controlling for baseline adherence, the T1 group had 3.8 percentage point lower adherence than the control group (95% CI -9.9, 2.3) and the T2 group had 2.4 percentage points higher adherence than the control group (95% CI -3.0, 7.9). However, the average effect masks an increasing treatment effect over time for the T2 group; a 2.5 percentage point increase in the initial 9-weeks that grows steadily to 9.0 percentage points by the last 9-weeks of the study. We find negative treatment effects for T1 in 3 of the 4 9-week intervals. This pilot study was not designed to detect statistically significant differences.
Conclusions: Improving youth’s adherence by supplementing information about their adherence with information about adherence of peers is a promising new strategy that should be further evaluated in a fully-powered study. Providing one’s own adherence information alone appears to have less potential.
