Characterization of a Novel MicroRNA from the T-DNA Locus of Rosewood, an Activation-Tagged Poplar Tree
Authors: Boswell Curtis
Published: April 2021

Plant phenomics refers to using the phenotype of mutants to identify genes responsible for a trait of interest. Our lab has created a large population of mutant poplar trees for studying phenomics. Poplar plays an enormous role in biotechnology and biofuel production. By having a large population of organisms with various mutations, genes and interacting partners may be identified. Specifically, we can identify genes responsible for tree stature, wood development, growth rate and pest resistance. The mutant rosewood is characterized by a vibrant red wood due to an accumulation of pelargonidin, the chemical that gives strawberries and cherries their red colour. Previous work on the mutant has shed light on the possibility of a microRNA regulating the biosynthesis of pelargonidin. Elucidating the function of the potential microRNA and its downstream targets will provide insight for applications in plant biotechnology. As well, it will be the first experimental validation of a microRNA in plants that regulates wood properties.
Encapsulation of a Small Hydrophilic Drug in Injectable PLGA Microparticles for Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer
Authors: Schweitzer Christina
Published: April 2021

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth largest cause of cancer-related deaths in Canada, and has the highest mortality rate of all major cancers.  The typical methods of treatment: chemotherapy and radiation have significant side effects, as they do not target the tumour specifically.  Targeted therapies are being developed that would specifically affect the pancreatic tumour, leaving healthy cells undamaged.  A small, hydrophilic drug has been shown to inhibit the activity of Neu1 sialidase, an enzyme involved in the activation of the growth process, which is upregulated in tumour cells.  Previous research has shown that encapsulation of the drug in a surgically implanted PLGA capsule allows for drug release over a period of several weeks, inhibiting tumour growth.  A microparticle form is desired, to decrease the invasiveness of the treatment. Encapsulation of the drug was performed using an aqueous double-emulsion method, resulting in a drug encapsulation efficiency of 37%.  A mean particle size of 125  was obtained, within the range acceptable for injectable particles. Further experiments will be performed to compare the encapsulation efficiency with microparticles prepared using an organic single-emulsion method.  The release kinetics of the drug will be characterized in vitro using HPLC analysis, and its effectiveness in inhibiting tumour growth will be assessed using tumour cell cultures and animal models.  Should this dosage form prove effective at inhibiting tumour growth, it may lead to the formulation of an injectable dosage form capable of sustained release.
Dysphoria and Eyewitness Identification
Authors: Zahavi Arielle
Published: April 2021

Theory of Mind (ToM) is the ability to attribute mental states (e.g., beliefs, desires) to others in order to understand and predict their social behavior. Decoding others’ mental states based on immediately perceptible social information (e.g., facial expressions) forms the foundation of this ability and is significantly impaired in individuals with depression. Interestingly, those who possess various risk factors, such as sub-threshold symptoms or a past or maternal history, but who are not currently depressed, show enhanced ToM decoding accuracy. Although having a mother with depression is one of the most powerful risk factors for adulthood depression, the mechanisms by which it might result in superior ToM have not been examined. Additionally, the relation between a genetic risk factor, the serotonin transporter-linked polymorphic region, to ToM, has not yet been studied. I will be the first to examine this relation as well as its role as a moderator in the relation of maternal depressive history to superior ToM, using a cross-sectional design and an archival sample of depressed and non-depressed young adults. I hypothesize that both maternal depressive history and possession of at least one s-allele will be associated with enhanced ToM ability, as well as an interaction whereby individuals with both a maternal history and at least one s-allele outperform those with a maternal history but who are l-allele homozygous. Since superior ToM decoding is associated with social dysfunction, the results may contribute to the identification of at-risk individuals and have implications for the prevention and treatment of depression.
Can the Atlantic Salmon Restoration Program Safely Re-Integrate Atlantic Salmon to Lake Ontario?
Authors: Gibson Laura , De Guzman Leia , Lavery Michelle , Ly Christine , MacDougall Kira
Published: April 2021

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) are an economically valuable species and have inhabited the lakes and rivers of Eastern Canada since the last post-glacial period. However, since the end of the 19th century, Atlantic salmon populations have collapsed in Lake Ontario due to land clearance and dam and mill construction. In 2006, the Atlantic Salmon Reintroduction Program (ASRP) was established in Lake Ontario in an effort to recreate a self-sustaining salmon population. The ASRP aims to rebuild the Lake Ontario Atlantic salmon population by stocking fish from genetically diverse broodstock, restoring Atlantic salmon habitat and monitoring water quality. The ASRP also includes a public education component to emphasize the importance of maintaining the Atlantic salmon population. However, re- introduction programs like the ASRP can be challenged by interspecific competition. Chinook salmon are known to induce male agonistic behavior in Atlantic salmon. In addition, Atlantic salmon juveniles are out-competed by Rainbow trout. Furthermore, the prospective diet of Atlantic salmon in Lake Ontario is thiamin-deficient, which may lead to neurological, developmental and reproductive problems as well as Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS). We will conduct research in partnership with Bring Back the Salmon Lake Ontario, Atlantic Salmon Conservation Fund and the Atlantic Salmon Federation to investigate the potential threats to both Atlantic salmon and existing species that may result from the ASRP for Lake Ontario. Findings will be presented as well as recommendations for alterations to the program to ensure that the ASRP is a safe and successful endeavor.
Investigating the Association Between Active Transportation to School and Bullying in Canadian Schoolchildren
Authors: Cozma Ioana
Published: April 2021

Bullying, or the act of using direct or indirect physical and verbal tactics to distress or control another, has been recognized as an important problem among child populations internationally. The wide prevalence and deep impact of bullying indicates the need for targeted program implementation to eliminate the bullying epidemic. Focusing on new associations between bullying and other health behaviours will give insight and direction for new, more targeted bullying eradication approaches. The association explored in this undergraduate thesis project is between bullying and active transportation, defined in this study as walking and bicycling. Engagement by students in active forms of transportation to school is generally on the decline in North America. This is of concern, as methods of transportation including cycling and walking are forms of physical activity that can be an important indicator of improved health. Planned analyses will be based on the sixth (2009/10) Canadian cycle of the Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HBSC) Study. The HBSC study is a World Health Organization cross-national study focused on the investigation of health behaviours among adolescents in 43 participating countries. A variety of statistical analysis tools will be employed to determine whether a link can be drawn between students who engage in active transportation and their involvement with bullying (whether as a victim, a perpetrator, or both). This will provide foundational information for health promotion efforts. By targeting the concerns of youth and their parents and providing objective evidence about the bullying risks (real or perceived) involved in active transportation, student may be encouraged to adopt a healthier, more active lifestyle that could eventually translate into lower obesity rates and a healthier population.

Published: April 2021

This scale-wide participatory evaluation was designed to assess farmers‘ technology preference and stakeholders‘ linkage on top of estimating the advantage and efficiency of improved faba bean technology over the local practice. On-farm experiment and assessment were conducted using 100 farmers who allocate 0.25-0.5ha of land in Wag-lasta dryland. Planting and other agronomic standards were applied as per the technological recommendation. Required quantitative and qualitative data collected at farm and farmer level using quadrants and checklist, respectively. Cost-benefit analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyse the quantitative data. Qualitative data such as farmers‘ technology preference and stakeholders‘ linkage were assessed in simple ranking matrix and SWOT analysis. The improved faba bean technology provided mean grain yields of 1340 and 590 kg ha-1 in Lasta and Sekota districts, respectively. It has thus a 31.4% and 38.9% yield advantage and penalty over the local practice, in that order (p

Authors: Karasu Kerem , Ozturk Ergin
Published: April 2021

This research has been carried out to determine the effects of the current misinformation (hormone, antibiotic, feed additives and growth of broiler chickens in a short period) on consumers' view of the poultry meat sector. The survey was conducted in Istanbul province which better reflects the socio-cultural and socio-economic structure of Turkey, and with different demographic structure of 384 people face to face survey method was applied. Questions were asked to determine whether antibiotics and hormones were used in the diet of broiler chickens, and consumers' perceptions, attitudes and behaviors about the reliability of chicken meat. According to the results of the study, 73.4% of the consumers stated that they did not know about the contents of broiler diets. A big majority of the consumers (88.3%) stated that they think hormone is used and 84.6% think antibiotics is used in the feeding of broiler chickens. 78.4% of consumers surveyed stated that they think that broiler chickens are not fed with healthy feed. Also, 70.6% of consumers stated that rapid growth was due to use of antibiotics and hormones. Although the use of hormones and antibiotics as growth promoters in poultry feeds is prohibited, consumers think that they are used as additives and broiler meat is not safe food. According to these results, creating a positive effect on the purchasing decisions of the consumers is important for the sustainability and future of the sector.

Indonesian National Army Involvement in Handling Terrorism Action from Legal Perspective
Authors: Silalahi Wilma
Published: April 2021

The crime of terrorism is an extraordinary crime against humanity, including a “serious crime” whose number of actions has increased. It requires handling with exceptional measures and "serious measures" with still respecting human values. Thus, what becomes an interesting problem in this research is how to involve the Indonesian National Army in handling acts of terrorism from a legal perspective. This research uses a normative doctrinal method. The Indonesian National Army's involvement in managing acts of terrorism and supported by the prevailing laws and regulations provides a greater sense of security and legal certainty for the community. Also, this research intends to examine that the involvement of the Indonesian National Army in handling acts of terrorism is by applicable regulations. The handling of criminal acts of terrorism requires a juridical basis to create a sense of security and justice. Thus, the Indonesian National Army must maintain the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia's territorial integrity and uphold state sovereignty. Therefore, the involvement of the Indonesian National Army in the context of handling acts of terrorism is an aid to the PolicePolice in defending the independence of the state, maintaining the territorial integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, and protecting the entire nation and all spilled Indonesian blood based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. The involvement of the Indonesian National Army in eradicating acts of terrorism is part of the support for the National Police, in the context of carrying out law enforcement operations that are not Military Operations Apart from War, unless they develop into acts of terrorism that threaten the existence of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia or extraordinary circumstances occurs. This is in line with the Indonesian National Army's unique nature (lex specialis) in carrying out its duties.

The phenomenon of progressive impairment of cognitive functions is characteristic for the aging process. More than half of people over 50 complain about weakening of their previous intellectual performance, reduced mood, impaired memory, psychomotor slowing down, decreased ability to concentrate and divide attention, extend reaction time and reduce motor performance. The basis of mental changes in the elderly are changes in the brain. The changes arising in the aging brain are the result of pathological processes: metabolic and altered cerebral circulation. These changes, and mainly their extent, consequently cause brain dysfunction and are manifested mainly in the deterioration of mental functions. The brain is first and foremost the material basis of a mental life. With age, slow, cumulative and irreversible morphological and functional changes occur in the human brain. This process is slow, which is why it is accompanied by a number of compensation mechanisms. This phenomenon occurs regardless of gender. The aim of this article is to present the key issues related to memory functioning in the elderly, with particular emphasis on neurocognitive impairment after surgery.
Progress in diagnostic imaging of anal inflammatory diseases
Authors: Piłat Jacek , Rudzki Sławomir , Bicki Jacek , Dąbrowski Wojciech
Published: April 2021

The authors present issues related to the diagnosis of the most common inflammatory diseases of the anus. They deal with anal fistulas and abscesses in a special way. They present various diagnostic methods: from basic proctological examination to instrumental methods. They asses the usefulness, disadvantages and limitations of individual methods. The highest assessment of the presented diagnostic methods was obtained by two tests, i.e. magnetic resonance imaging and endosonographic examination in the 3D option, supported by the use of the render mode option or hydrogen peroxide as a contrast agent. In a sense, both examinations are comparable when it comes to inflammatory diseases of the anus. For endosonographic examination, the advantage is low cost, repeatability and availability. The disadvantage of magnetic resonance imaging is the high price of the test, the low availability and possible claustrophobia of the patient or the presence of metal implants. However, the undeniable advantage of magnetic resonance imaging is the ability to assess anal fistulas or abscesses located high above the levator muscles. In the assessment of deeply located lesions, the advantage of magnetic resonance results from the shorter focus of the endosonographic probe. The high frequency of the probe gives good image quality, but it is paid for the shorter penetration of the ultrasound rays. The use of the render mode or contrast – hydrogen peroxide option puts the endosonographic examination in a one row with magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of the most frequent occurring fistulas and abscesses. Considering lower costs, repeatability of the endosonographic examination it is a valuable modern instrument in the diagnosis of inflammatory lesions of the anus.
The role of statins in chemoprevention of colorectal carcinoma
Authors: Tomaszewska Agata , Ostrowska Monika , Snarska Jadwiga , Grabysa Radosław
Published: April 2021

Colorectal carcinoma is one of the most common cancers in the world both in terms of prevalence and mortality. Prospective epidemiological studies have clearly demonstrated that a diet rich in saturated fats and its related lipid metabolism disorders increase the risk of this disease. Chemoprevention is the use of drugs and natural compounds to prevent benign and malignant cancers. Chemopreventive effects with respect to carcinogenesis may be based on: inhibiting inflammatory processes, lowering serum levels of free radicals, suppressing cell divisions, and promoting cell differentiation. Because the prevalence of colorectal carcinoma is growing, a chance for potential chemoprevention raises oncologists’ interest and is a subject of various epidemiological and clinical studies. This paper presents the current state of knowledge regarding potential chemoprevention of this cancer using statin therapy, which is broadly implemented in the present-day pharmacotherapy for cardiovascular diseases. Various pleiotropic effects of statins may in consequence have a positive influence on currently observed negative epidemiological indices of colorectal carcinoma.

Published: April 2021

Kidney transplantation (KT) in patients with chronic kidney disease is considered a method of renal replacement therapy offering the longest and most comfortable survival possible. Kidney transplantation reduces the risk of multiple complications associated with chronic dialysis, as well as allows patients after transplantation of this organ for full participation in family and social life. However, like any other treatment modality, kidney transplantation has its limitations. These are primarily associated with the need for chronic immunosuppressive therapy. It was shown that chronic immunosuppression increases the risk of cancer. Skin cancers are the most common immunosuppression-related neoplasms. Also, the risk of solid organ cancers is several times higher after kidney transplantation compared to the general population. Cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality in kidney graft recipients. This is due to its insidious and aggressive course in this patient population and the frequent need to modify anticancer therapy. In this paper, we discuss the increased incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients after kidney transplantation, differences in the course of the disease, as well as its potential prevention, based on the available literature and our own experience. Based on our analysis, we postulate the need for strict recommendations unified for all transplantation centres, regarding oncological surveillance for early detection of colorectal cancer in patients after kidney transplantation.

In Mexico, there are 194 archaeological zones open to the public under the custody of the National Institute for Anthropology and History. However, there are also many other sites that operate outside the federal management model and the current legal framework. These are called “limbos” here and are clas‑ sified by who administers them and the land ownership regime. Through the review of three cases spread over Mexico, a first approximation of their key problems and shared dynamics is offered that factors in legal, bureaucratic and socioeconomic aspects that underlie the unauthorized use of archaeological heritage. It is concluded that they are “in limbo “mainly due to ambiguities in the legislation and loopholes that have been exploited by stakeholders to allow them to use of these ruins as a tourist attraction.

Published: April 2021

Background:

The reliability of patch testing with expired Indian standard patch test kits has been not evaluated before.

Methods:

Thirty adults (men:women 25:5) with allergic contact dermatitis were divided into three groups of ten patients each for patch testing by Finn chamber® method using Indian standard patch test kits having expiry in 2016, 2015 and 2014. The results were compared with those from a new kit with 2018 expiry.

Results:

Ten patients in group-1, eight patients in group-2 and seven patients in group-3 developed positive reactions of identical intensities and mostly from identical allergens from all four kits. The major contact allergens eliciting positive reactions of identical intensities were parthenium in nine, five and three patients, colophony in four, one and zero patients, fragrance mix in three, three and one patients, thiuram mix in three, one and one patients, and paraphenylene diamine in two, one and three patients from group-1,-2, and -3, respectively.

Limitations:

Small number of patients in each group remains the major limitation of the study. Whether or not these results can be extrapolated with patch test results from other similar patch test kits available across countries also needs confirmation.

Conclusion:

The patch test allergens can be used beyond labeled expiry dates but needs confirmation by a few large studies and using other available patch test kits. This is important as the relevance of patch test results for individual allergen in this scenario may remain debatable requiring careful interpretation.

Introduction: The prevalence of anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is high. However, little is known about the factors related to anemia in patients with chronic Hemodialysis (HD) in Mexico. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in adult patients with CKD undergoing HD in the northern area of Mexico City treated at the Mexican Institute of Social Security. Hemoglobin (Hb) and Hematocrit (Htc) levels, as well as clinical and biochemical factors associated with anemia, were evaluated. Results: Data was collected from 747 patients, obtaining a mean hemoglobin of 9.7 g/dl (IQR 8.4-10.9 g/dl). The group was divided into two using Hb <10.0 g/dl and >10.0 g/dl as cutoff limits. Fifty six percent of the patients had hemoglobin =10.0 g/dl. Hb level <10.0 g/dl were associated with DM (OR 1.49, IC 95% 1.06-2.10, p=0.001), hyperphosphatemia (OR 1.69, IC 95% 1.21-2.28, p=0.001), high calcium-phosphate product (OR 1.43, IC 95% 1.01-2.03, p=0.040) and iron deficiency (OR 1.95, IC 95% 1.38-2.75, p=0.001). Glomerulopathies (OR 0.44, IC 95% 0.22-0.90, p=0.026), female gender (OR 0.55, IC 95% 0.40-0.074, p=0.001) and erythropoietin administration (OR 0.57, IC 95% 0.39-0.82, p=0.002) were associated with hemoglobin ≥10 g/dl. Conclusion: The factors associated with Hb <10.0 g/dl were mineral-bone metabolism disorders and iron deficiency. The periodic evaluation of qualityof- care indicators of HD treatment, such anemia, are necessary to detect improvement opportunities.

To increase academic performance in children, elementary school personnel are encouraged to focus on socio-emotional learning. Better classroom management and safer environments, exempt of bullying and particularly of weight-related bullying, appear like ways of fostering socio-emotional learning in children. However, some school personnel’s characteristics could impact their ability to act on these dimensions. This research is interested in how weightrelated intervention behaviors, self-esteem and sense of self-efficacy vary according to school personnel’s dieting behaviors and weight perception are related to their self-esteem, sense of self-efficacy, and intervention behaviors on weight-related bullying. A total of 164 Canadian participants filled in questionnaires focusing on bullying, self-esteem, and sense of self-efficacy. Results show that most school personnel felt competent to manage their group of students and to intervene on weight-related bullying. Those who were on a diet and who perceived their weight as higher seem significantly more involved in promoting motivation for school and learning engagement in their students as well as more likely to intervene with the bully when encountering weight-related bullying situations. For their part, participants of normal weight who were on a diet had a significantly lower self-esteem than those dieting and having a perception of overweight. These results are encouraging because they suggest that elementary school personnel feel competent with regards to the socioemotional learning of their students and is actively involved in providing them a safe learning environment.

Climate change poses a considerable threat to food security, with potentially existential economic, political and social outcomes for the entire humanity. The impact will be especially severe in low and middle-income countries that are struggling to meet the needs of a growing population. This mini-review aims to contribute to the global and, specifically, the Mozambican debate on the potential impact of climate change on food security and how it might affect the health of current and future generations. In Mozambique, climate change has already had an impact on food security and in some instances, it is exacerbating already existing diseases such as diarrhoea, malaria and cholera. However, more research is needed using empirical data that will shed light on the potential pathways and mechanisms of climate change, and its relationship with food insecurity and health outcomes. Furthermore, to ensure that climate change does not worsen the prevalence of food insecurity that is currently ravaging the country, Mozambique needs to implement all the adaptation and mitigation strategies, which have already been approved and adopted in the national climate change plan.

A 40-year-old One-eyed patient (right eye) acuity history of post-traumatic burst in his left eye at the age of 6 years. Consult for a decrease of vision on his right eye that has progressed for 3 weeks. Ophthalmic examination found visual acuity: 2/10 P10 in the right eye, the left eye presents enophthalmos with an opacified cornea; the anterior segment was normal in the right eye, fundus examination shows hyalitis graded 1+, papillary edema, peripapillary hemorrhages and stellar macular exudates, cottony nodules, copper arteries with vascular sheathing of the superior temporal branch and areas of retinal ischemia (Figure 1). The inflammatory and serological assessment is negative. Fluorescein retinal angiography shows papillary diffusion of fluorescein and vasculitis (Figure 2). We find serous retinal detachment on OCT (Figure 3). The general examination found bipolar aphthosis. The diagnosis of Behçet’s disease is retained. Treatment with immunosuppressants allowed the regression of papillary edema with persistence of some macular exudates and great improvingin visual acuity.
