Published: August 2019

Introduction: Ectopic fat deposition may contribute to chronic inflammation in people with HIV (PWH). To inform future mechanistic studies of metabolic risk in this population, we sought to determine which fat measures relate more strongly to inflammation and whether the fat-inflammation relationship is modified by sex or HIV status.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 105 PWH and 20 age- and sex-matched HIV-negative controls. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels were measured from plasma. Pericardial fat (PCF) and thoracic periaortic adipose tissue (TAT) volumes and peri-right coronary artery (RCA), left atrium (LA) roof and liver densities were measured from cardiac CT scans. Unadjusted and multivariate adjusted linear regression models were used to determine the relationship between ectopic fat measures and inflammation biomarkers.Results: Forty subjects had BMI <25, 33 had BMI 25-30, and 52 had BMI >30. Systolic blood pressure and insulin resistance increased with BMI. Subjects with higher BMI had higher CD4+ count. In models adjusted for demographics, HIV status and metabolic risk factors, BMI was positively associated with IL-6 and hs-CRP. Ectopic PCF and TAT volumes were positively associated with IL-6 and hs-CRP; however, these relationships were somewhat attenuated in adjusted models. LA roof (but not peri-RCA) fat radiodensity was inversely associated with hs-CRP in fully adjusted models and the association with IL-6 was borderline statistically significant. IL-6 was more strongly associated with BMI and LA roof density in women than in men (p for interaction=0.05).Conclusions: Among PWH on antiretroviral therapy, higher BMI and excessive visceral fat burden were associated with circulating markers of systemic inflammation, and this relationship appears to be stronger in women compared to men.

Published: August 2019

Background Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) remains the primary treatment for localized prostate cancer (PCa) even though there is no evidence that its use is beneficial in the absence of curative treatment.Material and methods Finnish Cancer Registry data were utilized in this population-based study. Men aged > 70 years ( n =16534) diagnosed with localized PCa from 1985–2014, and treated either by primary observation or ADT in the absence of curative treatment, were included. The relative risk (RR) of PCa-specific mortality (PCSM) and other cause-specific mortality was determined. A life table for cause-specific survival (CSS) (i.e., PCa) and other-cause survival was created. Two age groups (70–79 years and > 80 years) and three time-based cohorts (1985–1994, 1995–2004, and 2005–2014) were compared following propensity score matching with four covariates (age, year of diagnosis, socioeconomic status, and hospital district). Follow-ups continued until death or 31 December 2015.Results PCSM risk was higher in men aged 70–79 years undergoing primary ADT compared to those managed with observation only (RR of 1.70, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.29–2.23 [1985–1994]; RR of 1.55, 95% CI: 1.35–1.84 [1995–2004]; and RR of 2.71, 95% CI: 2.08–3.53 [2005–2014]). Similar risk was observed in men aged > 80 years in two latest groups. Men in their 70s undergoing observation also had better propensity score-matched 10-year CSS than those undergoing ADT.Conclusion Conservative management is a valid option for patients with localized PCa in whom curative treatment is not possible.

Authors: Li JinBo , Zhong QiYu , Luo XiaoChan , Yang JianBo , Chen ShuQin
Published: August 2019

Objective

The aim of our study was to analyze surgical treatment and expectant treatment of tubal heterotopic pregnancy (HP) with viable intrauterine pregnancy (IUP).

Study Design

This was a retrospective analysis of 65 tubal HP with viable IUP patients. Patients were divided into surgical treatment group or expectant treatment group. Main outcome measures were abortion rate, rescue treatment rate, complication rate and ectopic pregnancy (EP) rupture rate.

Results

The abortion rate, rescue treatment rate and complication rate in the expectant treatment group were 8.69% (2/23), 30.43% (7/23) and 0.00%, compared to 16.67% (7/42), 0.00% and 2.38% (1/42), respectively, in the surgical treatment group. Five patients in the expectant treatment group suffered tubal EP rupture. Subgroup analysis of the expectant treatment group revealed that the rescue treatment rate in patients with an EP mass enlargement ≥50% was 80% (4/5), which was significantly higher than that in patients with an EP mass enlargement <50% (6.25%, 1/16, P =0.028). In the surgical treatment group, lower abortion rates were demonstrated in the laparotomy subgroup, salpingectomy subgroup and ≥49 days gestational age subgroup, with abortion rates of 0.00%, 12.12% (4/33) and 6.25% (1/16), respectively.

Conclusions

Both surgical and expectant treatments are optional treatment modalities for tubal HP with viable IUP. The abortion rate was low in the expectant treatment patients. EP mass enlargement ≥50% can be a predictor of rescue treatment in expectant treatment patients. Laparotomy surgery and salpingectomy would be more preferable in surgical treatment patients.

Authors: Ranatunga Jayani Chalindra , Jayaratne Kapila
Published: August 2019

Unplanned pregnancy is a significant public health issue in both low- and high-income countries. The burden of unplanned pregnancy is reflected in women opting for pregnancy terminations in spite of the presence of well-established family planning services. Solid data on the proportion of unplanned pregnancies are using more specific tools such as the London Measure of Unplanned Pregnancy (LMUP) needed to address the issue in Sri Lankan contexts. The objective was to describe the proportion of unplanned pregnancies, their determinants and the health outcomes of women delivering at Colombo North Teaching Hospital-Ragama (CNTH).

Methods
A cross-sectional study was carried out among 494 consecutive pregnant women selected by non-probability consecutive sampling who were admitted for the confinement at CNTH. A pre-tested structured interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data on antenatal women and intentionality measured by self-administered six-item LMUP. Maternal and newborn health outcomes were ascertained in each post-partum women before discharge. Data were analyzed with the Mann-Whitney U tests, Kruskal-Wallis tests and spearman rank correlation. We also evaluated the psychometric properties of the Sinhalese version of LMUP.

Results
The response rate was 97.8% and 17.2% of pregnancies ending at birth were unplanned, 12.7% were ambivalent and 70.1% were planned.
Associated factor profile of women with unplanned pregnancies includes; not married women (p=0.001) educated up to the passing of GCE ordinary level by women (p<0.001) and spouse (p<0.001), primiparity (p=0.002) and inadequate knowledge on emergency contraceptives (p=0.037). Less planned pregnancies were also significantly associated with anemia (p=0.004), low mood for last two weeks (p<0.001), having a partner with problematic alcohol consumption (p<0.001), presence of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) (p<0.001), poor relationship satisfaction with partner (p<0.001). Inadequate pre-pregnancy preparation and antenatal care were associated with an unplanned pregnancy. No differences were found in neonatal outcomes. Sinhalese version of the LMUP scale was found to be accepted, valid and reliable with the Cronbach's alpha of 0.936.

Conclusions
A sizeable proportion of pregnancies were unplanned. Teenage pregnancies, non-marital relationships and inadequate knowledge on emergency contraceptives, maternal anemia, low mood, and GBV were modifiable associated factors which could be prevented by evidence-based locally applicable approaches.

Published: August 2019

Background: General practitioners (GPs) often manage individuals with work-related common mental disorders (CMD: depressive disorders, anxiety and alcohol abuse). However, little is known about the management characteristics. The aim of this study is to analyze GPs’ management and patterns of referral to other health professionals of patient with work-related CMD and associated factors.
Method: We used data from a cross-sectional study of 2 027 working patients of 121 GPs in the Nord – Pas-de-Calais region in France (April – August 2014). Statistical analyses focused on patients with work-related CMD detected by the GP. Descriptive analyses were used to characterize GPs’ management of the patients’ symptoms. Associations between patient, work, GP and contextual characteristics and GPs’ management were explored using modified Poisson regression models with robust variance.
Results: Among the 533 patients with work-related CMD in the study, the GPs provided psychosocial support to 88.0%, 82.4% were prescribed psychotropic treatment and 50.7% were on sick leave. Referral rates to mental health specialists and occupational physicians were respectively 39.8% and 26.1%. Several factors including patients’ characteristics (occupational and sociodemographic), GPs’ characteristics and environmental data were associated with the different type of management used by the GP.
Conclusion: Our study emphasizes the major and often lonesome role of the GP in the management of patients with work-related CMDs. Better know the way GP manage those patient could help GP in their practice, improve patients care and be a starting point to implement a more collaborative care approach.

Authors: Park Youjin , Oh Jaeyoung , Park Sowon , Sum Samuth , Song Wonkeun , Chae Jongchan , Park Hee-Myung
Published: August 2019

Background

Fluoroquinolone agents, such as enrofloxacin and marbofloxacin, are commonly used in pseudomonal infection in veterinary medicine. However, the resistance rate to fluoroquinolone is rapidly increasing according to multiple studies in various countries. The point mutation in quinolone resistance determining region (QRDR) is closely related to increased fluoroquinolone resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa . The aim of this study was to investigate current antimicrobial susceptibility and fluoroquinolone resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from dogs. The presence of the point mutations in the QRDR was confirmed by gyrA and parC polymerase chain reaction and nucleotide sequencing analysis.

Results

A total of 84 nonduplicated P. aeruginosa isolates were obtained from 228 healthy dogs (healthy group) and 260 dogs with clinical signs (infected group). From these, 38 isolates from the healthy group were detected in several samples, whereas 46 isolates from the infected group were mostly obtained from dogs’ ears with otitis externa (41/260, 15.8%). All isolates were resistant to nalidixic acid, while some were also resistant to enrofloxacin (23/84, 27.4%), marbofloxacin (17/84, 20.2%), levofloxacin (12/84, 14.3%), or ciprofloxacin (11/84, 13.1%). Enrofloxacin resistance was significantly higher in strains from the infected group than that of the healthy group ( p <0.05). Among the 23 fluoroquinolone-resistant isolates, 8 and 4 different mutations were detected in the gyrA and parC genes, respectively. Mutations in gyrA were significantly common in the infected group ( p <0.05). Hotspots for the gyrA and parC mutations were Thr83 (34.8%, 8/23) and Pro116 (91.3%, 21/23), respectively. Double and triple mutations were also found in 5 of the isolates.

Conclusion

Novel mutations in the gyrA and parC genes were first found in P. aeruginosa isolates from companion dogs in South Korea. These findings suggest that it is important to know the prudent use of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in canine pseudomonas infection treatment.

Published: August 2019

Overview
Background: In recent years, the epidemic of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has been seen in the summer. In daily clinical practice, we noted that RSV infection tends to become more severe and its treatment tends to be longer, particularly in patients hospitalized in the summer. Thus, we investigated factors associated with the progression to severe condition and the prolongation of treatment in RSV infection.

Methods: Subjects were pediatric patients diagnosed with RSV infection and hospitalized for treatment during the 5 year s from April 2014 to March 2019. Information on age, sex, season of hospitalization, gestational age, and bronchial asthma of each subject was collected from inpatient medical records. Duration of oxygen administration was used as an index for treatment duration and the use of devices for severe cases as an index for severity. Multiple linear regression analysis and logistic regression analysis were performed to examine the variables associated with duration of oxygen administration and use of a device for severe cases.

Results: Data from 298 patients were analyzed. Duration of oxygen administration was significantly associated with bronchial asthma (partial regression coefficient: 0.804, p = 0.010). Hospitalization in summer was significantly associated with use of a device for severe condition (adjusted odds ratio: 5.89, 95% confidence interval: 1.72-20.18).

Conclusion: The present study showed that bronchial asthma is a risk factor for prolongation of treatment and infection in summer is a risk factor for progression to severe condition in cases of RSV infection. These findings suggested that children with bronchial asthma and infection in summer need to be treated carefully regardless of their age, sex, and gestational age.

Each prophet is given a miracle according to the needs and conditions of his people. If the previous prophet was sent by Allah SWT only for certain people, a certain period, and strengthened by materialistic miracles such as the staff of Moses and others, then scientific miracles are very relevant to the people and the present age. This is the greatest scientific miracle in the history of human life. Allah wants every piece of information conveyed by the Koran to materialize someday. When an event and event occurs in accordance with the Koran, the miracle is revealed. So this scientific miracle is always new every time. In the present era, the truth of Islamic science began to unfold. These scientific truths will one day attract humanity to acknowledge the greatness of the Almighty God.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a riqueza, a diversidade, a abundância e a composição da fauna de formigas em oito propriedades rurais com cultivo orgânico e oito com cultivo convencional, no município de Paraíba do Sul (RJ). Instalaramse em cada área cultivada 15 armadilhas tipo pitfall para a coleta das formigas. Amostraram-se 48 espécies de formigas no total, pertencentes a sete subfamílias e 23 gêneros. A riqueza nos cultivos convencionais foi de 29, e nos cultivos orgânicos, 38. Os valores médios de riqueza e diversidade de espécies e a abundância média foram maiores nas áreas com cultivo orgânico do que nos cultivos convencionais. O número de espécies cultivadas, a profundidade de cobertura vegetal morta e a temperatura estiveram entre as variáveis que mais afetaram a mirmecofauna. A composição de espécies de formigas variou significativamente entre áreas com cultivo convencional e orgânico (ANOSIM, R = 0,6099, p < 0,01). Os resultados corroboram a realidade de que a prática da agricultura orgânica constitui uma alternativa relevante aos cultivos convencionais, por promover a manutenção da biodiversidade local.

young children around the world. The inner capsid protein VP6 has been discussed as alternative
vaccine as it can induce cross-protective immune responses against different RV strai. The use of
ferritin nanoparticle may enhance the immunogenicity of the subunit vaccine.

Objective:

In this article, our motivation is to design and obtain a self-assemble rotavirus
nanoparticle vaccine which can induce efficiency immune response.

Methods:

The VP6 protein was fused with ferritin and expressed in the Escherichia coli expression
system. The recombinant VP6-ferritin (rVP6-ferritin) protein was purified by His-tag affinity
chromatography and fast protein liquid chromatography. Transmission electron micrographic
analysis was used to detect the nanostructure of the self-assembled protein. Mice were gavage with
the protein and ELISA was used to detect the titer of the VP6 specific antibody.

Results:

The recombined VP6-ferritin was expressed in the Escherichia coli as an inclusion body
form and the purified protein has similar antigenicity to rotavirus VP6. Transmission electron
micrographic analysis of rVP6-ferritin exhibited spherical architecture with a uniform size
distribution, which is similar to the ferritin nanocage. Immune response analysis showed that mice
immunized by rVP6-ferritin protein induced 8000 (8000±1093) anti-VP6 IgG titers or 1152
(1152±248.8) anti-VP6 IgA titers.

Conclusion:

According to the above research, the rotavirus VP6-ferritin protein can be easily
express and self-assemble to the nano-vaccine and induce efficiency humoral and mucosal
immunity. Our research makes a foundation for the development of oral rotavirus vaccine.

Authors: Tian Xiaopeng , Zhang Zixuan , Li Wen
Published: August 2019

Objective:

To investigate the functional changes of Paneth cells in the intestinal epithelium of mice with obstructive jaundice (OJ) and after internal biliary drainage (ID) and external biliary drainage (ED).

Methods:

The experiment was divided into two stages. First stage: Mice were randomly assigned to two groups: (I) sham operation (SH); (II) OJ. The mice were sacrificed before the operation and on the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th day after the operation to collect specimens. Second stage: Mice were randomly assigned to four groups: (I) SH; (II) OJ; (III) OJ and ED; and (IV) OJ and ID. They were reoperated on day 5 for biliary drainage procedure. The specimens were collected on day 10.

Results:

The expressions of lysozyme and cryptdin-4 increased first and then decreased over time in group OJ, and the number of Paneth cells decreased gradually with the extension of OJ time（p<0.05. After the secondary operation on the mice to relieve OJ, the number of Paneth cells and expressions of lysozyme and cryptdin-4 in group ID increased more significantly than those in group ED（p<0.05）.

Conclusion:

OJ could cause intestinal Paneth cells to dysfunction in mice. ID was more significant than ED in restoring the function of Paneth cells. It might be one of the mechanisms that make ID superior to ED.

Background:

Cancer remains a major health concern throughout history and is responsible for huge
numbers of deaths globally. The sensitivity of cancer cells to anticancer drugs is a crucial factor for developing
effective treatments.

Methods:

Pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepines coupled with benzothiazole and fluorinated aryl thiourea scaffolds have been
synthesized, and their potential as cytotoxic agents was investigated against different cancer cell lines such as
human ovarian cancer (SK-OV-3), cervical cancer (HeLa), colon adenocarcinoma (HT-29) and non-small-cell
lung carcinoma (A549). Cytotoxicity of new compounds was confirmed using SRB assay against non-cancer
MDCK cell line. In addition, free radical scavenging activity of new pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepines was examined by
adopting DPPH and ABTS assays.

Results:

The results concluded that the presence and position of fluorine atom(s) on the thiourea unit played a
significant role in order to gain anticipated efficacies. Results of the cytotoxic assay against non-cancer MDCK
cells showed that these new derivatives are safe to study further. New structures were confirmed using spectral
and elemental analyses.

Conclusion:

Pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepines endowed with a benzothiazole entity and fluorinated aryl thiourea substituents
were derived aiming to furnish remarkable antioxidant and anticancer activities. New molecules generated
showed interesting biological result correlated with the structure and substituent of the final derivatives. Specifically,
numbers and position of fluorine atoms on the thiourea unit influenced the biological profile of the mentioned
compounds.

Published: August 2019

Background:

High permeable concrete is designed with high porosity, which allows water to pass through it. By considering this ability, it has been widely used for various applications including high permeable road pavement. However, to fully adopt highly permeable road pavement technology is challenging due to high cost and maintenance, besides the present engineers and contractors have insufficient expertise and experience with this technology. Henceforth, the high porosity property is highly favorable for road curb applications especially in the tropical region like Malaysia with high rainfall intensity.

Objective:

This paper aimed to determine the properties of the concrete experimentally, and propose the optimum mix design of high permeable concrete for road curb.

Methods:

The flow value and setting time of the cement paste were investigated. Next, the effects of the modified high permeable concrete with varying amount of crumb rubber on compressive strength, permeability and void ratio were also investigated.

Results and Conclusion:

Results have revealed that the workability of the cement paste increases when the water-binder ratio and the amount of fly ash increase. Meanwhile, an increasing amount of cement ratio and crumb rubber lowers the flow value and consequently leads to lower void ratio and permeability. Besides, it has been found that the higher the compressive strength, the lower the void ratio and permeability of the concrete. The research findings support that using an optimum amount of cement replacement with crumb rubber as an additive may increase the performance a high permeable concrete. Herein, the results indicate that the mix design of the concrete studied has the potential to be applied onto the road curb.

Authors: Benli Merve , Petit Catherine , Tenenbaum Henri , Huck Olivier
Published: August 2019

Background:

The prevalence of peri-implantitis is increasing continuously and such a biological complication significantly decreases implant survival and success. Although various treatment modalities have been identified for peri-implantitis, no completely efficient method has yet been established.

Objective:

The aim of this review was to evaluate the scientific literature regarding the in vitro effects of peri-implantitis treatment.

Methods:

A review of the literature was performed by using Google Scholar, PubMed/ MEDLINE and Science Direct databases. In vitro studies on peri-implantitis treatment modalities were selected. The search strategy identified 57 eligible studies. After selection, 21 articles met all the inclusion criteria and were included in the present review.

Results:

Included in vitro studies evaluated different types of peri-implantitis treatment modalities such as mechanical, chemical, combination and laser therapies. Combination therapies with the aid of adjuvants were found to be more effective compared to the studies that used only one type of treatment modality. Laser systems were also tested and displayed interesting results in terms of surface decontamination with a variability associated with selected parameters.

Conclusion:

This review was performed to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment modalities used for peri-implantitis in vitro. Although there are various effective treatment methods, none has been completely successful in removing the biofilms related to peri-implantitis. The findings imply the need for further studies to develop more effective antimicrobial treatment procedures.

Authors: Al Sharrad Ahmad , Said Khalid N. , Farook Fathima F. , Shafik Sami , Al-Shammari Khallaf
Published: August 2019

Background:

Previous studies have shown possible association between periodontal diseases and Diabetes Mellitus (DM), Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes (APO). Increasing the knowledge of physicians and dentists regarding the association between periodontal disease and systemic diseases should improve their ability to provide a high standard of treatment for the disease and prevent its consequences. In our study, we sought to identify knowledge gaps in the awareness of the relationship between systemic and periodontal diseases among dentists and physicians from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the State of Kuwait.

Methods:

A cross-sectional study was performed with a convenient sample of selected physicians and dentists in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait using a self-developed structured questionnaire. Physicians’ and dentists’ awareness were assessed regarding current evidence of the relationship between systemic diseases and conditions (DM, CVD, APO) and periodontal diseases.

Results:

A total of 134 (21.5%) of the identified physicians and 485 (78%) of the identified dentists participated in this study. More than half of the participants (52.1% physicians and 67.5% dentists) agreed that there is a relationship between periodontal diseases and DM, CVD and APO. Dentists had a statistically higher level of awareness compared with the physicians. The findings related to the awareness of the dentist sub groups highlighted that periodontists were significantly more likely to have a good level of knowledge.

Conclusion:

Within the limitations of this study, we concluded that the awareness of physicians and dentists regarding the relationship between periodontal diseases and systemic diseases (DM, CVD, APO) is generally low, Therefore, improved collaboration between medical and dental health providers is recommended.
Does the Trace Element Deficiency (Vit A, D & Zinc) Have Any Role in Vulnerability to Urinary Tract Infection in Children: A Case-Control Study: Tehran, Iran
Authors: Noorbakhsh Samileh , Nia Shima J. , Movahedi Zahra , Ashouri Sarvenaz
Published: August 2019

Background and Objective:

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is one of the most common causes of hospital admission in our young population. This prospective cohort study was carried out to assess the relation of serum levels of zinc, vitamins A and D with UTI in children with proven UTI.

Methods:

The serum levels of Zinc, vitamins A and D were compared between 25 proven UTI cases (admitted in 2 educational hospitals in Tehran) and 40 controls without infection (children who had undergone for elective surgery). The average age of children was 2.17 years. Atomic absorption Spectrophotometry, Radioimmunoassay, and HPLC methods were used for measuring the Zinc, Vit D and A, respectively.

Results:

Although the serum levels of zinc were significantly lower in UTI cases (P=0.05), no significant differences had observed between cases and controls for vitamins A and D in sera (P=0.4 and P=0.9).

Conclusion:

Due to established lower zinc level in UTI cases (p-value = 0.05), zinc deficiency might have a role in susceptibility to UTI in studied children. Administration of zinc could be helpful in preventing UTI. To establish the role of Vitamins A and D in vulnerability to UTI, further extensive research with larger samples is needed.

Conclusion:

Due to established lower zinc level in UTI cases (p-value = 0.05), zinc deficiency might have a role in susceptibility to UTI in studied children. Administration of zinc could be helpful in preventing UTI. To establish the role of Vitamins A and D in vulnerability to UTI, further extensive research with larger samples is needed.

Authors: Diaz-Abad Montserrat , Porter Neil , Zilliox Lindsay , Todd Nevins
Published: August 2019

Neuralgic Amyotrophy (NA) is a rare, acute onset inflammatory brachial plexopathy that frequently presents with acute pain followed by shoulder girdle muscle weakness. Phrenic nerve involvement affecting the diaphragms occurs in 7-10% of cases. We present the case of a 52-year-old man with neuralgic amyotrophy with phrenic nerve involvement and bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis with marked respiratory symptoms and sleep hypoventilation, who was treated with non-invasive ventilation with volume assured pressure support mode. By 21 months post disease onset, the patient had experienced marked improvement in orthopnea, sleep quality and functional status. This is the first reported case of the use of this mode of noninvasive ventilation in neuralgic amyotrophy.
