Authors: Thành Chu Bá , Loan Trinh Van , Thuy Dao Thi Le
Published: October 2022

We can say that music in general is an indispensable spiritual food in human life. For Vietnamese people, folk music plays a very important role, it has entered the minds of every Vietnamese person right from the moment of birth through lullabies for children. In Vietnam, there are many different types of folk songs that everyone loves, and each has many different melodies. In order to archive and search music works with a very large quantity, including folk songs, it is necessary to automatically classify and identify those works. This paper presents the method of determining the feature parameters and then using the convolution neural network (CNN) to classify and identify some Vietnamese folk tunes as Quanho and Cheo. Our experimental results show that the average highest classification and identification accuracy are 99.92% and 97.67%, respectivel.
PYTHAGOREAN PICTURE FUZZY SETS(PPFS), PART 2- SOME MAIN PICTURE LOGIC OPERATORS ON PPFS AND SOME PICTURE INFERENCE PROCESSES IN PPF SYSTEMS
Authors: Cuong Bui Cong
Published: October 2022

Pythagorean picture fuzzy set (PPFS) - is a combination of Picture fuzzy set with the Yager’s Pythagorean fuzzy set [12-14]. In the first part of  the paper [17] we considered basic notions on PPFS as set operators of PPFS. Unfortunately, we have not papers [18,19, 20]  about spherical fuzzy sets with the same definition with some operators and applications to multi attribute group decision making problems. Now in the second part, we will present some main operators in picture fuzzy logic on PPFS: picture negation operator, picture t-norm, picture t-conorm, picture implication operators on PPFS. Last, the compositional rule of inference in PPFS setting should be presented and an  numerical example was given.
AN EFFICIENT REVERSIBLE DATA HIDING BASED ON IMPROVED PIXEL VALUE ORDERING METHOD
Authors: Luyen Cao Thi , Sao Nguyen Kim , Quang Hoa Le , Minh Thanh Ta
Published: October 2022

Pixel value ordering (PVO) has been considered as an effective reversible data hiding method for high embedding capacity and good imperceptibility. In this paper, we propose a novel reversible data hiding based on four sorted pixels.  This paper proposes a new reversible hiding scheme based on the arrangement of 4 pixels. Three bits will be embedded into each four pixels sub block without changing the order while the original PVO method only embeds 2 bits. In case the amount of payload is less than the embedding capacity, flatter blocks will be prioritized for embedding to improve image quality.  To determine the flat of block, we use 12 neighborhood pixels of current block.   Only blocks with satisfactory flatness are used for embedding. The proposed reversible data hiding not only gains high capacity but also gets good imperceptibility. Experimental results also show that the proposed reversible data hiding scheme outperforms several widely schemes using pixel value ordering method in terms of both image quality and embedding capacity.
Statistical Measures of Affluence: Macroregions in Poland
Authors: Wolny-Dominiak Alicja , Sączewska-Piotrowska Anna
Published: October 2022

Objective: The paper presents an analysis of the affluence in macroregions of Poland based on statistical measures of income distribution.Research Design & Methods: The analysis uses a group of measures based on the distribution of income in the population studied. The measures characterise a given population in terms of the extent and / or intensity of its affluence. Income inequality and income polarisation are also analysed. All computations are based on European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) from 2018.Findings: Income affluence is very differentiated across Poland’s macroregions. The Mazowieckie voivodeship macroregion has the highest share of the affluent. All of the other affluence measures likewise show this region to be the most affluent.Implications / Recommendations: Basic measures of income inequality and polarisation give a good initial picture of income affluence but obtaining detailed information about this phenomenon is possible thanks to specific measures of the extent and intensity of income affluence. The results show that affluence is highly differentiated in Poland. Poland’s government would be well-advised to take appropriate measures to encourage entrepreneurs to invest capital in less affluent macroregions.Contribution: The research conducted in this paper shows how to analyse the affluence in subpopulations taking into account the distribution of income. Analysis of income affluence fills the gap in income analyses focusing most of all on poverty. All the statistica measures used provide knowledge about how the affluent greatly influence the economy, policy, and other aspects of life.
Uproszczenia wybranych zasad (polityki) rachunkowości w mikro- i małych jednostkach w Polsce – regulacje prawne i błędy poznawcze
Authors: Czaja-Cieszyńska Hanna , Mućko Przemysław
Published: October 2022

Objective: To assess the impact of two factors – legal regulations and cognitive errors among decision-makers – on the choice of simplifications in the accounting policy of micro and small entities.Research Design & Methods: Content analysis of disclosed accounting policy among micro and small entities in Poland was done in order to uncover simplifications the entities made in their accounting policy. Sampling was done using the Orbis Europe database; the sample size was 100 units.Findings: Only half of the eligible companies prepare abridged financial statements. Moreover, entities apply simplifications to which they are not entitled: restrictions on the application of the prudence principle and unconditional application of tax depreciation rates to the measurement of fixed assets are not allowed for the companies surveyed.Implications / Recommendations: This research shows that those responsible for accounting policy, when deciding on the scope of the simplifications, employ cognitive biases – including status quo bias, primacy effect and confirmation bias – resulting from heuristic thinking.Contribution: The contribution’s originality is based on the results of an empirical study of simplifications in the accounting policies of micro and small entities and the explanation of these results through the lens of decision-makers’ cognitive errors. Conclusions drawn from the research can be used both by legislators in reviewing legal regulations, and by managers charged with shaping accounting policy and applying simplifications.

Abstract The objectives of this research were: (i) to Estimate the quantitative occurrence of Ceratitis capitata captured in McPhail traps in cultivating guava; (ii) to investigate the spatial distribution patterns of C. capitata in guava orchards; (iii) to compare the index of the FTD (fruit fly/trap/day) to the type of spatial distribution of C. capitata with the Negative Binomial to set the best time for control of the population in the context of Integrated Pest Management; (iv) Verify the influence of the pruning, spraying, and mowing on the distributions of medfly in guava. Was used 30 McPhail traps installed in three commercial orchards of guava. The spatial distribution was evaluated by the regression model with the Taylor power method, from the log of variance to the log of the mean number of individuals. Ceratitis capitata has aggregated distribution behavior. The potential risk of economic damage is associated with aggregate distribution behavior. The beginning of this distribution indicates the most appropriate time for using control techniques.

Authors: Karthi J. , Palanivelan M. , Prabakar R. Manoj , Fardin M. Mohamed , Priya R. Shanmuga
Published: October 2022

A compact planar closely placed ultra-wideband circular-patch antenna with multiple-input/multiple-output technology is discussed in this paper. A complementary split-ring resonator structure was introduced between the antennas and a protruded strip-like structure was added to the antenna itself to improve the isolation between the antennas. The defected ground structure was used to further improve the S-parameters. Slots were introduced in the antenna structure to improve the bandwidth. A FR-4 substrate was used in the simulations. The overall cross section of the antenna was 16 × 26 mm2. The antenna was simulated using the computer simulation technology software program, CST Studio Suite. In this paper, several antenna parameters are also discussed, such as voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), gain, envelope correlation coefficient (ECC), radiation pattern, and various other characteristic parameters. The proposed design resonates at 5.34, 8.63, 9.8, and 10.48 GHz with return losses of -33.5, -28.3, -51.9, and -43 dB, respectively. In addition, it has a bandwidth of 4.33-11.419 GHz, an ECC close to zero throughout the band, and has VSWR of less than 1.6 throughout the band.
Application of Carrillo's method in unsaturated soil consolidation
Authors: Li Linzhong , Qin Aifang , Wang Lei , Jiang Lianghua
Published: October 2022

The feasibility of Carrillo's method is confirmed for consolidation problems of unsaturated soils under instantaneous loading in this study. In the plane strain and axial symmetry consolidation models, the coupled governing equations expressed by the excess pore-air and pore-water pressures are transformed into the equivalent uncoupled equations expressed by two functions of excess pore pressure using a decoupled method. Then, two rigorous theorems are used to prove that Carrillo's method is suitable for unsaturated soil consolidation under the plane strain and axial symmetry conditions. Finally, the mathematical formulas by Carrillo's method for unsaturated soil consolidation under plane strain and axisymmetric conditions are presented, and are verified against those of the existing analytical solutions. It turns out that the combinations of existing solutions to the conditions of a single direction flow by the proposed formulas can directly furnish the solutions to unsaturated soil consolidation with both horizontal and vertical flows.
The Effect of Using Herbal Extracts as Irrigant Solution in Disinfecting Root Canals of Endodontically Treated Teeth: A Narrative Review
Authors: M Alezzi , N Alfreahat , R Hussein , N Seoudi
Published: October 2022

Objectives: The use of herbal medicine continues to grow worldwide in all fields including dentistry. The constant use of chemical products in the root canal treatment process has prompted researchers to look for herbal alternatives due to the side effects and the relatively high resistant microbial strains available in the root canal that can contribute to the refractory infection. Therefore, the aim of this narrative review is to evaluate the effectiveness of using selected herbal extracts in disinfecting the root canals and removing the smear layer of the endodontically treated teeth. Design: Systematic search from 1999-2019 was performed using four electronic databases. The level of evidence of eligible studies was assessed using Critical Appraisal Skills Programme and Cochrane risk of bias tools. Results: A total of 44 eligible experimental studies that assessed aloe vera, turmeric, Peganum harmala, green tea, garlic and chamomile extracts were retrieved electronically. Potent disinfectant properties provided by the herbal extract of the six selected plants were demonstrated. Among these herbal extracts, garlic and chamomile extracts were found to have better properties in removing the smear layer from the root canal compared to the other herbal extracts. Conclusion: The results of the present review support the use of the examined herbal extracts in disinfecting the root canal; however, these findings need to be assessed clinically to determine the possibility of using herbal products as a successful alternative for chemical products within the process of root canal treatment.
Quantifying over hidden (parts of) events
Authors: Wągiel Marcin
Published: October 2022

In this paper, I investigate certain intriguing properties of two types of quantificational adjectives exemplified by the English two-time and double and their interactions with event semantics. I explore their semantic behavior in phrases such as two-time champion and double murder and show that they operate on hidden eventive components within the semantics of the modified NPs. Building on Zobel's (2017) analysis of social roles and Wągiel's (2018) theory of subatomic quantification, I propose an analysis that accounts for their puzzling properties. In particular, I argue that two-time counts events of acquiring of a salient and conventionalized social role by an individual, whereas double is a subatomic quantifier that counts essential parts of an event.
The FOMC's Committee on the Directive: Behind Volcker's New Operating Procedures
Authors: Burk Nicholas A. , Small David H.
Published: October 2022

On October 6, 1979, Chairman Volcker announced that the Federal Reserve was embarking on a new, forceful, and ultimately successful campaign to lower the rampant inflation of that time. At the center of this campaign were new operating procedures for conducting monetary policy—procedures that focused daily open market operations on controlling the quantity of monetary reserves and the quantity of nonborrowed reserves in particular. This was a dramatic shift from the prior focus on targeting the federal funds rate.
These new operating procedures were preceded by well over a decade of work that was directed by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and was carried out by its Committee on the Directive (COD). Prior to 1979, the COD had recommended, but then rejected, operating procedures based on controlling nonborrowed reserves. It was the Volcker Fed that accepted and implemented these reserves-based operating procedures, and it did so with the goal of targeting the monetary aggregates to have restrained and stable growth rates.
The modern phase of the polysilicon market
Authors: Naumov A. V. , Orehov D. L.
Published: October 2022

The current condition and outlooks of the world semiconductor and polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) markets have been analyzed. A long period of low PS prices which hindered the growth of investments into the industry has now changed for price recovery to an investment attractive level. Demand and offer balance for the period until 2024 and for the long term has been analyzed, and the main currently used PS processes have been reviewed. The current poly-Si market proficiency is expected to remain in the near and medium terms. However the “green turn” of the energy industry announced by all the governments, the development of local markets and the price recovery to an investment attractive level have promoted the development of new PS fab projects. Of special importance for Russia is the choice of Siemens trichlorosilane process parameters. A specific feature of the Russian market is the presence of several very important fields (solar energy, microelectronics, high-power electronics, photonics and fiber optics) which are small by international standards and equally face raw material shortage. It appears that Russia will greatly benefit from integral projects delivering solutions of multiple raw materials supply problems.

Black phosphorus (b-P) single crystals having the n-type electrical conductivity produced in a high pressure set-up (~1 GPa) with six diamond anvils at 800 °C for 12 h have been studied. The electrical conductivity σ(Т,В) and the Hall constant Rh(Т,В) have been analyzed within one-band and two-band models as functions of temperature in the 2 < Т < 300 K range and magnetic field in the 0 < В < 8 T range. Fitting of the experimental σ(Т,В) and Rh(Т,В) curves suggests the following key properties of the crystals: (1) intrinsic conductivity type, (2) approximately equal electron and hole concentrations and mobilities, (3) anisotropic behavior of electron and hole conductivities, concentrations and mobilities and (4) combination of negative and positive contributions to magnetoresistance (magnetoresistive effect, MR). In a zero magnetic field the anisotropy coefficient α = [σа(Т) – σс(Т)]/σс(Т) below 50—70 K is positive whereas above 220 K its sign changes to negative due to a specific combination of the temperature dependences of carrier concentration and mobility. It has been shown that the negative sign of relative MR (negative magnetoresistive effect) dominates at T < 25 K and B < 6 T and is presumably caused by the effects of strong localization resulting from structural disorder. The positive MR sign (positive magnetoresistive effect) is associated with the Lorentz mechanism of carrier movement and exhibits itself above 25 K in 6–8 T magnetic fields.
Assessing Phenibut’s Inhibition of Glutamate Induced Apoptosis in SHSY5Y cells, an in Vitro Model for Traumatic Brain Injury
Authors: Binkley Zach , Logan Randall , Treml Jack
Published: October 2022

Glutamate is our body’s primary excitatory neurotransmitter and plays a critical role in neuronal signaling allowing for the perception of the external world and the formation of memories. In excess, glutamate behaves as an excitotoxin that can induce neuronal apoptosis. Evidence exists that during head trauma neuronal cells can be exposed to supraphysiological concentrationsof glutamate causing damage or cell death. Both GABA receptor agonists and voltage-gated calcium channel blockers have been shown to have an attenuating effect on glutamatergic excitotoxicity via antagonistic signaling and inhibition of glutamate release.Phenibut, a widely available gabapentinoid, possesses both mechanisms of action, making it an appealing candidate as a therapeutic in the treatment of traumatic brain injury.
The Inhibitory Effect of CBD on Proinflammatory Cytokine, IL-6, in LPS-Mediated Inflamed THP-1 Differentiated Macrophage Cells
Authors: Johnson Lucy , Logan Randall , Treml Jack
Published: October 2022

About 1.5 million Americans suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), an autoimmune, chronic inflammatory disease with no cure. This is a condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, leaving the body in a constant state of inflammation. A major characteristic of RA is unresolved inflammation specifically in the joints of the hands, wrists, and knees. People who have RA suffer from a lot of pain, experience bone, and joint deformity, and have a loss of function in the targeted areas. In patients with RA, the immune system is not working properly, and the immune responses are unregulated. Due to being an autoimmune disorder, our B cells are presenting healthy cells with autoantigens that trigger multiple signaling pathways that lead to the release of cytokines. A primary cytokine, IL-6, plays a role in the pathogenesis of RA due to its pro-inflammatory effects. IL-6 causes the release of acute phase proteins which cause fevers, iron deficiency, fatigue, fat and muscle loss, anorexia, and weakness. One way to treat RA is to target the inflammation directly by interrupting cytokine release. In this work, the effect of CBD was evaluated to determine if its application has the potential to decrease IL-6 expression/release by inflamed cells. Macrophages derived from THP-1 Cells cultured with PMA were treated with LPS to model inflammation in vitro and the expression of IL-6 was determined by ELISA to correlate in a dose-dependent manner to LPS.

Transfer of plasmid DNA to Rhodobactersphaeroides via Conjugal mating v2
Authors: K Yakha Jaya
Published: October 2022

Rhodobacter is not capable of being transformed with pure, double-stranded DNA containing sites for endogenous restriction enzymes. The most efficient way of transfer of plasmid DNA to expression hosts is conjugation where single stranded DNA is transferred bypassing the hosts restriction system. The common E. coli strains used in cloning do not contains components necessary for the mobilization and transfer of plasmids via conjugal mating. In order to enable transfer of the expression vector to Rhodobacter hosts, an E coli host that is capable of conjugal mating (For e.g. S17-10 must be utilized).
Far-Right Digital Activism in Polarized Contexts: A Comparative Analysis of Engagement in Hashtag Wars
Authors: Chagas Viktor , Carreiro Rodrigo , Santos Nina , Popolin Guilherme
Published: October 2022

Literature on influence operations highlights the coordinated actions of digital activists aimed at persuading audiences. Scholars have discussed many angles of this behavior and emphasized repertoires based on specific contentious actions. However, little is discussed about how these disputes allow us to apprehend different models of political action in polarized contexts. On a whole, studies have not considered a broader understanding of digital activism performed by supporters of far-right governments. How does the far-right spread its agenda and support the government in “hashtag wars”? What kind of strategies are employed? This study seeks to compare patterns of coordinated behavior in hashtags created by supporters and detractors of the Bolsonaro government in Brazil that occupied the trending topics on Twitter. The statistical analysis is based on 6.1 million tweets taken from 20 political hashtags collected over a three-month period from May to July 2020. Data was scraped using Twitter’s Search API v3.0 for academic use. We analyzed the overall volume and peaks of tweets, the users they engaged with, and their network of influence, as well as the length of each hashtag. The results show an intense use of hashtag activism by Bolsonaro supporters, with users struggling for greater prominence in social media in the face of political events in Brazil. This article sheds light on how the far-right appropriates digital platforms to promote the government’s public image in times of political tension and how it promotes coordinated actions aimed at framing social media audiences.
Not Your Fetish: Broaching Racialized Sexual Harassment Against Asian Women
Authors: Anandavalli S
Published: October 2022

Asian women’s paradoxical position of hypervisbility and invisibility is a result of society caricaturing and fetishizing their sexuality and bodies while simultaneously denying their humanity and personhood. Despite the long history of objectification and fetishization of Asian women in the United States, extant mental health counseling training programs and literature offer limited guidance to counselors on this concern, perpetuating an epistemic lapse in mental health counselors’ competency. With rising anti-Asian hate, the racialized COVID-19 pandemic, and anti-Chinese sentiment in the United States, there exist increased threats to Asian women’s mental health. Responding to a paucity of counseling literature, this article offers strategies grounded in the multidimensional model of broaching behavior to broach racialized sexual harassment experienced by Asian women. Implications for counselor training and future research are also offered.
Positive Psychology and Therapy Animals: A Conceptual Integration for Counseling Practice
Authors: Schroeder Katy , Prasath Priscilla Rose
Published: October 2022

Animal-assisted therapy in counseling (AAT-C) provides several key enhancements to counseling practice, including the promotion of emotional regulation and social skills. Various approaches exist for integrating counseling theories with AAT-C; however, the inclusion of therapy animals in positive psychology practice has yet to be explored in the counseling literature. In this article, we propose an integrated counseling treatment approach that blends AAT-C with the PERMA (positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment) theory of well-being. We review key concepts of PERMA and AAT-C, as well as delineate the beneficial mental health effects of human–animal interactions through the theoretical underpinnings of positive psychology. We then link animal involvement in AAT-C to specific intervention strategies and the understood mechanisms of change described in the PERMA model, followed by the description of a brief hypothetical counseling case example. We conclude with ethical considerations and implications for clinical mental health counseling practice and research.

Published: October 2022

Integrated primary and behavioral healthcare (IPBH) programs have been investigated extensively in community settings, but few studies have included the effect of such programs on college campuses, and fewer have focused on outcomes with students with severe symptoms. We analyzed the recovery curves of 267 students with severe mental health symptoms in a collegiate IPBH program using ex post facto design and growth curve modeling. Students fit into three subgroups according with type of services received: (1) counseling only; (2) counseling and primary care; and (3) counseling, primary care, and psychiatric care. Results showed all treatment groups demonstrated positive growth trajectories. The outcome of this study is discussed in relationship with existing literature. Implications for future collegiate IPBH research and clinical practice for counselors, primary care staff, and psychiatrists are presented.
Efficacy of necrosis decompression techniques in the treatment of early stages of avascular necrosis of the femoral head
Authors: Panin Mikhail A. , Zagorodniy Nikolay V. , Boiko Andrey V. , Petrosyan Armenak S.
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND: There is no consensus on the methods of surgical treatment of early stages of avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head. Decompression of the necrotic zone in different variations is the most widely used, but the effectiveness of it is debated.
AIM: We evaluated the effectiveness of classic decompression of the necrotic zone and decompression using a percutaneous expandable reamer combined with bone graft.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Fifty patients were included in our study. The inclusion criteria were decompression of the necrotic zone in AVN of the femoral head at stages III and the possibility of assessing the effectiveness of surgical treatment after 12 months. Depending on the method of decompression, the patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 included 25 patients who underwent decompression using a percutaneous expandable reamer combined with bone graft. Group 2 consisted of patients who underwent classic decompression of the necrosis area. The groups were comparable in all major clinical characteristics. The efficacy of surgical interventions was assessed after 12 months by comparing pre- and postoperative assessment of the functional state of the hip joint using the Harris Hip Score and the intensity of pain syndrome using the visual analog score (VAS). The main criterion for ineffectiveness of AVN decompression of the femoral head was the need for total hip arthroplasty.
RESULTS: Twelve months after surgical treatment of femoral head AVN, group 1 patients average Harris Hip Score was 63.9, group 2 patients average Harris Hip Score was 74.1 (versus 59.1 and 63.9 before surgery, respectively); VAS was 2.7 in both groups (versus 5.5 and 4.8 before surgery, respectively). Three patients (12%) from group 1 and four patients (16%) from group 2 underwent total hip arthroplasty, to persisting pain syndrome and progression of osteonecrosis of the femoral head to the subchondral fracture stage. The differences between the groups were statistically insignificant.
CONCLUSION: Decompression of the necrosis zone is an effective method of treatment of stages I and II of AVN of the femoral head, significantly reducing the intensity of pain syndrome and slightly improving the functional characteristics of the hip joint. Studies in this direction should be continued with the involvement of more profiled patients and with the analysis of the effectiveness of other joint-preserving surgical techniques.

Authors: Ochkurenko Alexander A. , Yeltsin Alexander G. , Mininkov Dmitry S. , Gorokhvodatsky Alexander V. , Kurpyakov Anton P.
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND: The mediopatellar synovial fold (MPSF) of the knee joint is normally a thin and elastic structure, but under the influence of various factors, the MPSF thickens and turns into a fibrous cord, which injures nearby structures and clinically manifests with pain. One of the effective methods of treating MPSF in pediatric patients is an arthroscopic excision of the fold. AIM: Evaluation of long-term results of arthroscopic treatment of patients with pathologically thickened MPSF of the knee joint. MATERIALS AND METHODS: There was conducted an analysis of primary medical documentation, which included the study of hospital records and case histories of 73 patients. The survey questionnaires (based on VAS and WOMAC scales) were sent to these patients. Responses were received from 35 patients who were included in the study. RESULTS: When evaluating the long-term results of surgical intervention in 35 operated patients in 29 (82.1%) patients, it was found out that there were no exacerbations in postoperative period and, at the time of the data collecting, there weer no complaints for the pain syndrome. Dysplasia of the femoral condyle of type A and B was diagnosed in these patients. At the time of the evaluation, 6 (18.9%) patients had pain syndrome with decreased function of the knee joint. In these patients, dysplasia of the femoral condyle corresponded to type C in 4 cases, types D and B in 1 case. CONCLUSION: At the early stages of the disease, it is necessary to carry out a detailed differential diagnosis to identify the pathology of the knee joint. Attention should be paid to the combination of a pathologically thickened MPSS with dysplasia of the femoral condyle, which can lead not only to complications of conservative therapy and ineffectiveness of surgery, but also to the development of patellofemoral arthrosis.

Authors: Filimonova Galina N. , Diuriagina Olga V. , Antonov Nikolai I. , Ryabykh Sergei O.
Published: October 2022

ВACKGROUND: For the treatment of degenerative diseases of the spine, various deformities, a minimally invasive technique of lateral lumbar interbody fusion is used, which minimizes the risks of spinal cord injury. In the development of these pathologies, the most important role is assigned to the paraspinal muscles, the histological features of which are insufficiently elucidated in the relevant literature when modeling spondylodesis.
АIM: To investigate the effect of lateral interbody vertebral fusion (spondylodesis) when introducing titanium implants on the histostructure of the psoas minor muscle.
МATERIALS AND METHODS: Experiments were performed in 14 mongrel dogs, 3 individuals the control group (norm). The аnimals underwent discectomy at the level of L45, L56 vertebrae through the lateral approach on the right, and interbody titanium implants were installed. The lumbar spine was stabilized with an external fixator for 30 days. Paraffin muscle sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin, according to Masson.
RESULTS: During the experiment, an increased variety of myosymplast diameters, loss of polygonality of their profiles, fibrosis of the interstitial space, and sclerotization of the vascular membranes were observed in the psoas minor muscle. The volume density of endomysium in both muscles increased 1.5 times relative to the norm after 6 months Other parameters decreased: the volume of myosymplasts was 95%, that of microvessels 73% on the left, 83% on the right. On the other hand, the degree of fatty infiltration increased, amounting to 276% on the left and 394% on the right of the normal parameters. After 18 months, the bulk density of muscle fibers on the left was restored to the value in the control, on the right it was only 95%. The degree of sclerotization in the muscle on the left is 133%, on the right 161% of the norm; the index of fatty infiltration was 146% on the left and 339% on the right of the normal parameter.
CONCLUSION: pathohistological changes in the psoas minor during lateral interbody fusion are more pronounced on the side of the operative approach, which necessitates minimizing trauma to the paravertebral muscles during operations in order to prevent sclerotization and fatty involution of muscle tissue.
