Background: The appendiceal disease is one of the most common reasons for emergency hospital admission, and appendectomy is one of the most frequently performed emergency procedures. Obstruction of the appendiceal lumen is the usual cause of acute appendicitis. However, in elderly patients, it may also be due to a neoplasm of appendix, cecum, or even colorectal carcinoma and appendicitis can be its first manifestation. Of all the gastrointestinal tract malignancies, colorectal carcinoma is the most common one. Objective: To find the incidence of the carcinoma of colon in patients above 40 years of age who underwent appendectomy. Methods: Two groups of patients studied from Sulaimani Teaching Hospital and Kurdistan Center for Gastroenterology and Hepatology. Both groups underwent colonoscopy and one group only had appendectomy. Non-appendectomized group used as control. A 213 patients from a total of 545 patients studied from October 1st, 2018 to September 30th, 2019. Results: More than half of the patients (54%) had normal colonoscopy, others showed internal hemorrhoid (15.5%), polyp (15%), sigmoid mass (0.9%), rectosigmoid mass (0.5%) and gastrointestinal stromal tumor (0.5%). Histopathology results were tubular adenoma with low-grade dysplasia (36.4%), hyperplastic polyps (34.1%), adenocarcinoma (2.3%), and familial adenomatous polyposis (2.3%). Conclusion: The incidence of colorectal carcinoma is 4.76% in the studied group whom underwent appendectomy after 40 years of age. Keywords: Acute appendicitis, adenocarcinoma, colonoscopy, colorectal cancer, mucinous neoplasm of appendix, appendectomy.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic progressive, autoimmune disease that affects about 1.5% of the community. New markers are needed for early diagnosis of RA as seronegativity in early RA remains a major limitation of both anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) and rheumatoid factor (RF). Objective: To measure the plasma levels of the collagen triple helix, repeat containing-1 (CTHRC-1) protein in RA patients. Methods: 103 RA patients (56 new diagnostic without treatment group and 47 patients on treatment were included in this study according to American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria, in addition to 25 subjects as healthy control group. CTHRC-1 level was measured by using Immunoassay System in plasma samples. Results: The mean and SD of CTHRC1 was (49.10±6.51 ng/ml) in RA patients was significantly higher than its mean in healthy controls (6.20±2.81 ng/ml), (p value =0.002). The distribution of CTHRC1 was insignificantly associated with patient treated or not (P value 1.000, 0.273) respectively, or were the patients had positive or negative RF (P value 0.118, 1.000) respectively. Conclusion:sing the Immunoassay System for CTHRC-1 quantification, CTHRC1 could be used as a plasma marker that can aid in the diagnosis of RA although it has no association with seropositivity with RF or treatment.

nije isključivala mogućnost pripadnosti drugoj (službenik, npr. potknežin,
mogao je biti pripadnik družine). Iznose se zapažanja vezana uz službenike, a
posebno o potknežinu, kapetanu i potkapetanu te strukturi kneževskoga dvora.
Struktura potonjega podsjeća na kraljevski dvor. Na kneževskom dvoru
hijerarhijskim redom postojali su dvornik, kaštelan, peharnik i konobar.
Razmatranja se povezuju s organizacijom vlasti knezova Krčkih na njihovim
posjedima te se ukazuje na neke osobitosti u Vinodolu.

It's Complicated: How a Subordinate's Gender Influences Supervisors' Use of Past Performance Information When Appraising Potential
Authors: Farrell Anne M. , Frank Michele L.
Published: February 2022

Firms often ask supervisors to appraise subordinates' potential to succeed in higher-level positions. These appraisals can take place within social and organizational contexts that emphasize improving the experiences of females in male-dominated settings. Using this context, we experimentally examine whether supervisors differentially interpret and use the same accounting information when appraising the potential of subordinates of different genders. We draw on attribution theory and research suggesting that a diversity emphasis sends two conflicting signals—females are less able than males, but more valuable from a diversity standpoint. We find that supervisors' beliefs about subordinates' abilities in their current positions are lower for female than male subordinates. While prior research suggests this should result in supervisors appraising female subordinates' potential as lower than males', we find the opposite. Our results suggest that firm efforts to improve the workplace experiences of females may do little to mitigate underlying gender stereotypes.
Müller Glial Expression of REDD1 Is Required for Retinal Neurodegeneration and Visual Dysfunction in Diabetic Mice

Published: February 2022

Clinical studies support a role for the protein regulated in development and DNA damage response 1 (REDD1) in ischemic retinal complications. To better understand how REDD1 contributes to retinal pathology, we examined human single-cell sequencing data sets and found specificity of REDD1 expression that was consistent with markers of retinal Müller glia. Thus, we investigated the hypothesis that REDD1 expression specifically in Müller glia contributes to diabetes-induced retinal pathology. The retina of Müller glia-specific REDD1 knockout (REDD1-mgKO) mice exhibited dramatic attenuation of REDD1 transcript and protein expression. In the retina of streptozotocin-induced diabetic control mice, REDD1 protein expression was enhanced coincident with an increase in oxidative stress. In the retina of diabetic REDD1-mgKO mice, there was no increase in REDD1 protein expression, and oxidative stress was reduced compared with diabetic control mice. In both Müller glia within the retina of diabetic mice and human Müller cell cultures exposed to hyperglycemic conditions, REDD1 was necessary for increased expression of the gliosis marker glial fibrillary acidic protein. The effect of REDD1 deletion in preventing gliosis was associated with suppression of oxidative stress and required the antioxidant transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). In contrast to diabetic control mice, diabetic REDD1-mgKO mice did not exhibit retinal thinning, increased markers of neurodegeneration within the retinal ganglion cell layer, or deficits in visual function. Overall, the findings support a key role for Müller glial REDD1 in the failed adaptive response of the retina to diabetes that includes gliosis, neurodegeneration, and impaired vision.

OBJECTIVE

Epidemiological evidence regarding the relationship between fructose intake and intrahepatic lipid (IHL) content is inconclusive. We, therefore, assessed the relationship between different sources of fructose and IHL at the population level.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We used cross-sectional data from The Maastricht Study, a population-based cohort study (n = 3,981; mean ± SD age: 60 ± 9 years; 50% women). We assessed the relationship between fructose intake (assessed with a food-frequency questionnaire)—total and derived from fruit, fruit juice, and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB)—and IHL (quantified with 3T Dixon MRI) with adjustment for age, sex, type 2 diabetes, education, smoking status, physical activity, and intakes of total energy, alcohol, saturated fat, protein, vitamin E, and dietary fiber.

RESULTS

Energy-adjusted total fructose intake and energy-adjusted fructose from fruit were not associated with IHL in the fully adjusted models (P = 0.647 and P = 0.767). In contrast, energy-adjusted intake of fructose from fruit juice and SSB was associated with higher IHL in the fully adjusted models (P = 0.019 and P = 0.009). Individuals in the highest tertile of energy-adjusted intake of fructose from fruit juice and SSB had a 1.04-fold (95% CI 0.99; 1.11) and 1.09-fold (95% CI 1.03; 1.16) higher IHL, respectively, in comparison with the lowest tertile in the fully adjusted models. Finally, the association for fructose from fruit juice was stronger in individuals with type 2 diabetes (P for interaction = 0.071).

CONCLUSIONS

Fructose from fruit juice and SSB is independently associated with higher IHL. These cross-sectional findings contribute to current knowledge in support of measures to reduce the intake of fructose-containing beverages as a means to prevent nonalcoholic fatty liver disease at the population level.
MicroRNA-29 Ameliorates Fibro-Inflammation and Insulin Resistance in HIF1α-Deficient Obese Adipose Tissue by Inhibiting Endotrophin Generation

Published: February 2022

Dysregulation of extracellular matrix proteins in
obese adipose tissue (AT) induces systemic insulin resistance. The metabolic
roles of type VI collagen and its cleavage peptide endotrophin in obese AT are well
established. However, the mechanisms regulating endotrophin generation remain
elusive. Herein, we identified that several endotrophin-containing peptides
(pre-endotrophins) were generated from the COL6A3 chain in a stepwise manner
for the efficient production of mature endotrophin, partly through the action
of hypoxia-induced matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), including MMP2, MMP9, and
MMP16. Hypoxia is an upstream regulator of
COL6A3 expression and the proteolytic processing that regulates endotrophin
generation. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α) and the hypoxia-associated suppression
of microRNA (miR)-29 cooperatively control the levels of COL6A3 and MMPs, which
are responsible for endotrophin generation in hypoxic ATs. Adipocyte-specific Hif1a knock-out (APN-HIF1αKO) mice fed a
chronic high-fat diet exhibited the significant amelioration of both local
fibro-inflammation in AT and systemic insulin resistance compared to the control
littermates, partly through the inhibition of endotrophin generation.
Strikingly, adenovirus-mediated miR-29 overexpression in the ATs of APN-HIF1αKO
mice in obesity significantly decreased endotrophin levels, suggesting that miR-29,
combined with HIF1α inhibition in AT, could be a promising therapeutic strategy
for treating obesity and related metabolic diseases.

Nasal and Sinus Diseases: Common Causes of Upper Airway Cough Syndrome
Authors: Poerbonegoro Niken Lestari , Irawati Nina , Anjani Sonia Miyajima
Published: February 2022

Upper airway cough syndrome (UACS), previously known as post-nasal drip syndrome, is a persistent cough that lasts more than four weeks in children or more than eight weeks in adults, which is associated with nasal and sinus diseases, such as allergic rhinitis (AR), chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), and adenoid hypertrophy (AH). UACS is one of the major causes of chronic cough. Several theories support the pathophysiology of chronic cough in UACS, namely post-nasal drip, airway inflammation, and sensory neural hypersensitivity theories. Persistent and excessive cough generates a deterioration in patient’s quality of life and social interaction. This review summarizes the knowledge on pathophysiology and underlying disease of UACS, aims to help clinicians identify and treat this syndrome.

Risk Mitigation Effects for Mudhārabah Financing Accounting Treatment (Case Study at Bank “YIX” in Aceh)
Authors: Muslina Muslina , Syahputra Angga
Published: February 2022

Mudharabah financing has a high level of risk caused by moral hazard and adverse selection. The existence of these two risks resulted in a simultaneous impact on the reputation and liquidity of the bank “YIX”, thus requiring risk mitigation. On the other hand, the risk mitigation action raises the contradiction of PSAK No. 105 in particular the recognition of financing, profit sharing and expenses. This study was conducted qualitatively by observing the phenomenon at the bank "YIX" and then describing it in the form of a combination of descriptions of the results of interviews, documentation and observations. The results of this study on risk mitigation measures for the accounting treatment of Mudharabah Financing have a negative effect, which is contrary to the statement of PSAK No. 105 Paragraph 12: recognition of mudharabah investments as investments; paragraph 22: does not justify recognizing profits from projected results of operations; paragraph 13 point c: does not allow charging fees without an agreement. If this is not mitigated, then the impact of financing risk will not only affect operations, but also reputation and even the potential for the loss of customers or investors because they are not prepared for the loss of funds due to the comprehensive application of the Mudharabah Financing concept.

Nous avons mesuré l’adhésion à cinq comportements de prévention primaire du cancer colorectal tirés des recommandations émises par la Société canadienne du cancer et le Fonds mondial de recherche contre le cancer (absence de tabagisme, indice de masse corporelle (IMC), activité physique, consommation d’alcool et consommation de fruits et légumes) et nous avons établi un score composite reposant sur la somme des mesures. La définition de l’adhésion aux comportements de prévention secondaire est fondée sur les recommandations du Groupe d’étude canadien sur les soins de santé préventifs pour le dépistage du cancer colorectal.

Résultats

L’adhésion aux lignes directrices en matière de prévention primaire variait entre 94,8 % (absence de tabagisme) à 44,2 % (IMC santé). Le score composite médian était de 4. Les scores composites supérieurs ont été associés au fait d’être une femme, d’être marié(e) et d’avoir un niveau de scolarité plus élevé. Le taux d’adhésion au dépistage du cancer colorectal était de 62,4 %. Un âge avancé, la présence de maladies chroniques, le fait d’avoir subi un examen médical récemment et le fait de faire partie d’un ménage à revenu élevé étaient associés à une probabilité accrue d’adhésion au dépistage.

Conclusion

L’adhésion à certains comportements de prévention du cancer colorectal s’est révélée élevée, ce qui concorde avec les constatations selon lesquelles la Colombie-Britannique affiche des taux faibles pour de nombreux comportements risqués pour la santé. Cependant, on a constaté une agglomération de plus faible adhésion aux comportements de prévention les uns avec les autres et en présence d’autres facteurs de risque. L’adhésion au dépistage s’est révélée élevée, mais varie en fonction de certains facteurs sociodémographiques et sanitaires. Les travaux futurs devraient porter sur des interventions ciblées visant à améliorer l’adhésion des individus faisant partie des groupes dont le statut socioéconomique et l’état de santé sont les plus précaires. Il faut également mieux comprendre les obstacles à l’accès et à la participation au dépistage du cancer colorectal, qui persistent même au sein du système de santé public canadien.
