Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles by Using Invasive Caulerpa cylindracea Sonder
Authors: Abeska Yesim Yilmaz , Cavas Levent
Published: June 2021

Caulerpa cylindracea is an invasive seaweed in the Mediterranean Sea. In this study, we propose an alternative method to utilise the biomass of C. cylindracea to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). UV-VIS spectroscopy, FT-IR and X-ray diffraction were used in characterization steps. The results show that optimum conditions such as time, initial concentration of AgNO3 and temperature were found to be 240 min, 0.1 M AgNO3 and 85˚C, respectively. The measured particle size of the synthesized AgNPs were 22 nm. Since AgNPs were encapped by the secondary metabolites of C. cylindracea, the synthesized AgNPs showed stable solubility in aqueous conditions. The experimental data related to synthesis of AgNPs were modelled by using artificial neural network (ANN). Agitation time and rate, temperature, pH, concentration of AgNO3 and extract were chosen as input and absorbance values were chosen as output. ANN modelling study exhibited that Bayesian regularization backpropagation, scaled conjugate gradient backpropagation and Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation algorithms better modelled the experimental data compared to studied 11 backpropagation algorithms. In conclusion, biomass of invasive seaweeds can be used to synthesize AgNPs for commercial use and this will bring a new perspective to utilisation of the biomass of invasive seaweeds. A possible economical value may create a stress on the spread of these alien species in the Mediterranean Sea.
Are Dawn Collections of Anopheles stephensi a Better Method To Estimate the Resting Vector Density? A Study from Chennai, India
Authors: Ravishankaran Sangamithra , Asokan Aswin , Justin N. A. Johnson Amala , Thomas Shalu , Mathai Manu Thomas , Eapen Alex
Published: June 2021

The study was an attempt to capture Anopheles stephensi from cattle sheds during dawn to understand the realistic density of the resting mosquitoes. A 2-year longitudinal study was carried out in cattle sheds in close proximity to the human dwellings to collect the resting vector mosquitoes. The man-hour density of An. stephensi ranged from 24.7 to 206.5. The vector incrimination results indicated 0.15% of An. stephensi infected with Pv210 in 2015 and 0.09% in 2016. The current study indicated that cattle sheds are still the preferred resting place of An. stephensi and that dawn is the perfect time to collect and estimate its densities. Hence, adult vector control may also be given due importance in addition to the routine larval source management measures to curb malaria transmission in an urban setting.

Reverse knowledge transfers are beneficial to MNCs, but just how much so depends on the subsidiaries’ strategic mission, its country’s economic development and the ability of headquarters to absorb incoming information. Within MNCs, the traditional role of headquarters as prime source of knowledge and competencies is changing. Increasingly, headquarters act as receivers of knowledge from their internationally dispersed subsidiaries. The efficiency of the MNC as a knowledge-integrating institution is being influenced by changes in both its subsidiaries’ context and its capabilities to process knowledge.

Preventing Corruption in Africa: Emerging Challenges in the Mining Sector of the Democratic Republic of Congo
Authors: Pepe Cosetta , Mushagalusa Nshombo Jean Marie , Risso Mario
Published: June 2021

The globalisation of economies and markets, brings out the full importance of the responsibility on the part of national, regional and international authorities as regards competitiveness and support of sustainable local development. The extractive sector of natural resources is a good example of this phenomenon which involves several countries (often in less development areas) and large international enterprises which need for good procurement system. The corruption in business relationship is a barrier for development in Africa because it could be both a significant risk factor for international company investments and an inadequate solution to promote a real local development. In particular, the article is intended to provide an overview of the mining sector in Democratic Republic of Congo following the recent evolution of bribery connected to the rules of ITIE (Initiative pour la Transparence dans les Industries Extractives) and the emerging issues related to corruption and local development opportunities.
Putting in Value Corporate Social Responsibility
Authors: Parra Carmen , Ripoll-i-Alcon Joan , Marti Guillem
Published: June 2021

European companies have not only taken care of complying with the legal obligations imposed by the law (social and environmental obligations), but have gone further by voluntarily assuming a real commitment to their corporate social responsibility. In this sense, a set of indicators defines a real approach to CSR. In particular, a model to rate environmental, social and governance (ESG) dimensions of any company seems to provide an objective, measurable and comparable information that makes it possible to define a real assessment of the CSR based on ESG.

Elementos para una economía política del republicanismo: un análisis crítico de la renta básica de Alaska
Authors: Casassas David , De Wispelaere Jurgen
Published: June 2021

En este artículo presentamos las ideas básicas que subyacen a la teoría política republicana y establecemos una línea de demarcación entre la perspectiva republicana y el libertarianismo de izquierdas, el cual tiene en la renta básica de Alaska su plasmación institucional más natural e inmediata. A partir de ahí, abordamos tres conjuntos de problemas que presenta el modelo de Alaska: la falta de una base económica sustancial, la falta de frenos a la acumulación de poder económico privado y la falta de mecanismos de control democrático sobre los procesos de extracción, imposición tributaria y distribución de los recursos naturales. Así, para que el republicanismo pueda hacerlo suyo, el modelo de Alaska debe ser sometido a importantes enmiendas y modificaciones que tienen que ver tanto con su naturaleza intrínseca como con el contexto institucional en el que opera. De este modo, concluimos sosteniendo que, aun cuando el modelo de Alaska puede ser compatible con la perspectiva republicana en un sentido débil, los republicanos deben proceder con cautela a la hora de defender el modelo en un sentido fuerte.

Islam's Interest in Infrastructure; A Descriptive Historical Study
Authors: Hasan Saleh Abdulmajid Ubaid , Assaghir Bahmi Abdulrahim
Published: June 2021

Jurists discussed the matter of contracts in Islamic jurisprudence generally. They dealt with study and analysis most of the financial ideological issues in jurisprudence. However, there is a scarceness in competent studies that meet the reality of interest in infrastructure from historical terms as well as highlighting this from the lawful side. Moreover, we can see that the successors of Islam were aware for the matter of urbanism such as paving roads, providing lighting, water projects, and hospitals, according to the requirements and possibilities of that stage. Consequently, the interest in building mosques and schools as well as providing water early, appeared clearly; so, the first event which we read it in the migration of the Prophet (PBUH) was the construction of the mosque (which was considered a center of worship, justice and education), and then urged the purchase of a 'Ruma Well'. Furthermore, the Prophet (PBUH) praised that one who lightened the mosque and called him a 'Sraj' (light). In addition, we cannot forget 'Dar Al-Arkam ibn Abi Al-Arkam' which considered an educational center, which was called 'Dar Al-Qra'a' (House of Readers). Therefore, all these events show the interest of Sharia in infrastructure on the provenance and application. As such, many of the successors of the Islamic era have followed, for that; this matter needs to be highlighted to promote contemporary Islamic thought and the statement of the reality of religion, in terms of its interest in all aspects of life.

Published: June 2021

The research aims at recognizing the danger of animation and Technological games, especially on the Muslim child's Creed which in turn affect his social, psychological, and cultural behavior. The analytical method has been used to display examples of these games and animation and their influence. The dilemma of the research is that such games and animation have been created in a non-muslim environment then spread in the Islamic countries in cluding ideas and behaviors suitable for them, but they are contrary to the muslim child's creed which has an influence on the young or old muslim's mentality. The Sharia scholars disagree on the issue of these games and animation whether they affect negatively or positively. The results showed that these electronic games and animation are among the contemporary doctrinal catastrophes in which the injunction of Sharia should be shown in proportion to such catastrophe and adherence to the dictums that do not violate the law of God Almighty.
İNSANA YAKIŞIR İŞ VE ÇALIŞAN YOKSULLAR: İŞGÜCÜ PİYASASI ÇERÇEVESİNDE BİR DEĞERLENDİRME
Authors: AYDIN Gülşen
Published: June 2021

İnsana yakışır iş kavramı, bireylere daha iyi bir yaşam sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Kısaca; özgürlük, eşitlik, güvenlik ve saygınlık koşullarının sağlandığı, insan onuruna yakışan ve üretkenliğin sürekli olması gerektiğini vurgulayan iş olarak ifade edilmektedir. İnsana yakışır iş kavramı; çalışanların daha iyi koşullarda istihdam edilmesi, sosyal korumanın sağlanması, çalışma yaşamına yönelik sahip oldukları temel haklardan faydalanabilmesi ve tüm bunların ancak sosyal diyalog ile gerçekleşebileceği düşüncesine dayanmaktadır. İnsana yakışır iş kavramı ILO’nun da temel hedefleri arasında yer almaktadır. Çalışma koşullarının kötü olduğu, sosyal koruma uygulamalarının çalışanı yeteri kadar korumadığı, kadınların çalışma koşullarının erkeklere kıyasla daha kötü ve ayrımcı uygulamalar barındırdığı bir durumda insana yakışmayan işlerin varlığı devam etmektedir. Öte yandan genel anlamda işgücü piyasasında yaşanan işsizlik ve istihdam sorunu da insana yakışır iş kavramının ortaya çıkmasına yol açmıştır. Bir grup insanın daha düşük ücretle, vasıf gerektirmeyen işlerde ve kötü koşullarda çalıştığı; diğer bir grubun bunun aksine daha iyi çalışma koşullarına sahip olduğu bir dünyada eşitlikten bahsetmek mümkün değildir. Bu sebeple, insanların onurlu bir yaşam sürdürebilmesinin ön şartı insanca yaşam koşullarının oluşturulmasından geçmektedir. Bu çalışmada amaç, insana yakışır iş kavramının işgücü piyasasına etkilerini incelemektir. Bu sebeple çalışmada işgücü piyasasına ait bazı istatistiki veriler ışığında bir değerlendirme yapılacaktır.
BÜROKRASİ VE ERKEKLİK HALLERİ ÜZERİNDEN TAŞRA KÜLTÜRÜ; BİR ZAMANLAR ANADOLU’DA
Authors: AKSAKAL Erdi
Published: June 2021

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Nuri Bilge Ceylan’ın “Bir Zamanlar Anadolu’da” adlı filmine eleştirel söylem analizi uygulayarak, filmi, Anadolu’ya ait bürokrasi, iktidar ilişkisi, erkeklik halleri, rutine yönelik tavır alış, ast-üst ilişkisi kavramları üzerinden değerlendirmeye tabi tutmaktır. Anadolu’nun taşrasında geçen ceset arayışı, söylem üzerinden gerçeklik, bürokrasi, hiyerarşi, aidiyet, iyi ve kötü olmak olgularının açığa çıkmasına neden olmaktadır. Özellikle eril dilin hakim olduğu bu mekanda, neredeyse tüm karakterlerin erkek olduğu, kadınların görünmez ve konuşmaz bir konuma sahip olduğu bir yapı mevcuttur. “Bir Zamanlar Anadolu’da”, tekinsiz bir taşra hayatının, insan davranışındaki irrasyonelliğin, iktidarın devir tesliminin, eril yapının onarılma gayretinin söylem üzerinden açığa çıktığı bir zamansızlık ve mekansızlık haline sahiptir. Bu bağlamda çalışma, savcı, doktor, komiser, muhtar ve katil zanlısına kadar uzanan karakterleri imgesel evreninden koparıp, simgesel düzeni ortaya çıkarma gayretiyle şekillenmiştir. Bu aşamada amaç, özellikle güç ilişkilerinden ideolojiye, etik ve değerler alanından kimlik tanımlanmasına, çeşitli sosyal olguların dilsel kurgulamalar yoluyla yansımasını ortaya çıkarmaktır.
„FUTURISTIČKA” FANTAZMAGORIJA: „LUČE NOVOG JERUSALIMA 2999”
Authors: Teodorovic Jasmina
Published: June 2021

The majority of studies on the last story in Pekić’s gothic novel The New
Jerusalem (Serbian: „Luče Novog Jerusalima”, officially translated in English by Zorica
Đergović Joksimović ”The Lights of The New Jerusalem 2999”) elaborate on in it in
terms of: poetic/narrative auto-referentiality, gothic chronicle, hybrid genre, meta-
textuality, historiographic metafictional narrativity, eschatological vision, negative
utopia, chiliastic tone, post-apocalyptic vision etc. However, what is to be noted as
well is that Pekić’s rhetoric keeps insisting on the same archetypal anthropological
matrix, insomuch as it insists on the human species. Pekić’s and our gothic chronicle
represents the apocalyptic anthropos. Hence, the paper deals with the same revers-
ible process of archeological excavation of „the apocalyptic future” both, within the
context of Derrida’s „apocalypse of the apocalypse”, and Milić’s theses on Apocalypse
as a never-ending invention of Secret. Given the aforementioned, as well as the paper’s
theses, if the conclusion of a sort might be derived it would thus be roughly reduced
to phantasmagoric space of Pekić’s rhetorical mask of as equally phantasmagoric
apocalyptic and atemporal discourse.
INQUSITOR GENERALIS: IZMEĐU VOLjE ZA MOĆ I SLOBODE OD MOĆI
Authors: Beuk Sergej , Aleksic Jana
Published: June 2021

/ In this paper, we observe the chapter “The Great Inquisitor” in the novel
The Brothers Karamazov as a literary field in which the dominant discourse of Power,
the Church elite, represented by the Grand Inquisitor, is confronted by the subversive
aspirations of marginalized social groups, embodied in the figure of Christ. Initially
considering that the “poem” is an eminent text of culture, in which a vast number
of textual clues have been absorbed, primarily the Holy Bible, we discover how the
character of the Grand Inquisitor was constructed from the generic-hermeneutic
angle. This implies a contextual theological, (inter)textual and semantic framework.
In the central part of the paper, the focus of our analysis is the mechanisms by which
institutions of power control subversive elements and aspects of their rebellion from
the perspective of New Historicism. At the end of the paper, we point to the histori-
cal and civilizational implications of an antagonistically conceived narrative on the
problems of human freedom, action, and the implementation of power in history
and, consequently, the organization of the (contemporary) world.
EXISTENTIAL NIHILISM IN WILFRED OWEN’S ANTI-WAR POEM “FUTILITY”
Authors: Petrovic Goran J.
Published: June 2021

This paper analyzes “Futility”, one of the best poems by Wilfred Owen, a renowned British poet-soldier of the First World War. It shows that, in philosophical terms, the poem is based on existential nihilism as a view that human existence is intrinsically non-teleological. As the paper argues, Owen does not develop such a pessimistic world-view because of his great knowledge of Darwin’s or Nietzsche’s work as being emblematic of late nineteenth and early twentieth century pessimism, but because of his firsthand experience with the horrors of history’s first mechanized war. Owen’s nihilistic philosophy is viewed in contrast with the ideology of progress and utopianism as being prevalent over pessimism up until the outbreak of WWI and as being equally propounded by the secular philosopher Herbert Spencer and the Protestant liberal theologians. In brief, “Futility”, as a poem which presents the demise of a nameless British soldier, ends in the poet’s rhetorical question which explicitly doubts the purposefulness of human history. The paper also deals with “Futility’s” stylistic traits, and in doing so comes to the conclusion that the poem’s mood is for its most part temperate and elegiac with, in emotional terms, a somewhat more intense ending, just as it reveals that its irregular rhyming and metre reflect the poet’s reaction to the spiritual emptiness and chaos of war.

Introduction: Despite adhering to criteria for extubation, up to 20% of intensive care patients require
re-intubation, even with use of post-extubation high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC). This study aims to
identify independent predictors and outcomes of extubation failure in patients who failed postextubation
HFNC.
Methods: We conducted a multicentre observational study involving 9 adult intensive care units
(ICUs) across 5 public hospitals in Singapore. We included patients extubated to HFNC following
spontaneous breathing trials. We compared patients who were successfully weaned off HFNC with
those who failed HFNC (defined as re-intubation ≤7 days following extubation). Generalised additive
logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for failed HFNC.
Results: Among 244 patients (mean age: 63.92±15.51 years, 65.2% male, median APACHE II score
23.55±7.35), 41 (16.8%) failed HFNC; hypoxia, hypercapnia and excessive secretions were primary
reasons. Stroke was an independent predictor of HFNC failure (odds ratio 2.48, 95% confidence
interval 1.83–3.37). Failed HFNC, as compared to successful HFNC, was associated with increased
median ICU length of stay (14 versus 7 days, P<0.001), ICU mortality (14.6% versus 2.0%, P<0.001)
and hospital mortality (29.3% versus 12.3%, P=0.006).
Conclusion: Post-extubation HFNC failure, especially in patients with stroke as a comorbidity, remains
a clinical challenge and predicts poorer clinical outcomes. Our observational study highlights the need
for future prospective trials to better identify patients at high risk of post-extubation HFNC failure.

Kur’ân Tilavetinde Lahn Olgusu ve Fatiha Suresindeki Yansıması
Authors: KAYA Sedat
Published: June 2021

Kur’an tilavetini Fem-i Saadetten (s.a.v.) duyulduğu şekliyle icra etmek, her türlü ilave veya noksanlıktan salim hale getirmek, her Müslümanın titizlikle üzerinde durması gereken bir konudur. Bu çalışmada, hem ilk dönem kıraat âlimlerinin üzerinde derin araştırmalar yaparak tespit ettikleri hatalı okuyuşlar; hem de sonradan vuku bulan ve gittikçe yaygın hale gelen tilavet hataları üzerinde durulmuştur. Özellikle, konunun anlaşılmasında önemli bir etken olarak kelimenin sözlük ve terimsel açıklamalarında ortaya çıkan çoklu anlam kargaşasının giderilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Çünkü lahn kelimesi bir taraftan “nağme yapmak, makamlı okumak” gibi anlamlara gelirken bir taraftan da, “sözün kastedilen anlamının dışında kullanılması, haktan meyledip batıla sapmak” gibi birbirine zıt anlamlar içerir. Kıraat ve tecvid ilminde ise; “harflerin zat, sıfat ve tecvid kurallarına riayet etmemekten kaynaklanan okuyuş hataları” anlamına gelmektedir.
PULMONARY HYPERTENSION STILL AN ‘ORPHAN LUNG DISEASE’ IN PAKISTAN
Authors: Asad Faisal
Published: June 2021

In our country when it comes to diagnosis and treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) especially Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH), it seems that it is still an Orphan Lung disease. Whether it is data about its prevalence in our country, available diagnostic services or treatment options, one may easily feel the scarcity in all mentioned areas.

Most current classification of PH, categorizes it into 5 groups.1 However this categorization requires availability of diagnostic tools especially right heart catheterization data to classify and know the severity of PH and to offer targeted treatment to patients who belong to group 1 PH i.e. Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH).

Studies done about PH prevalence in Pakistan have mainly focused on data in selected patients group e.g. in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) or Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).2,3 All of these studies relied on diagnosis without using the diagnostic bench mark i.e. Right heart catheterization. Moreover, effects of targeted treatment for PAH have also been studied only in selected group of patients e.g. COPD.4,5

While above work by the learned colleagues has to be appreciated, it emphasizes the need to,

Spread the awareness about PH more so to reduce inadvertent use of targeted treatment which may prove detrimental outside group 1 PH and should only be considered at specialized centers.

Develop specialized centers with required diagnostic services especially Lung functional and anatomical evaluation and Right heart catheterization.

Establish PH registries (at least one in each province) which can play a vital role to collect data and ensure effective evidence based patient management.

This may be an uphill task however the right direction to move forward.

Published: June 2021

Objective: To evaluate the cardiac status of newborns in terms of structural and functional heart diseases.

Methodology: This descriptive study was conducted at Paediatric Cardiology Department of “The Children’s Hospital and The Institute of Child Health”, Multan, Pakistan, from January 2017 to December 2019. Neonates aged 0-28 days and referred for echocardiographic evaluation were enrolled. Diagnostic findings were confirmed with the assistance of echocardiography. We were focused on analyzing total number and types of heart diseases along with gender distribution during the study period.

Results: During the study period, a total of 2729 newborns were evaluated. We noted 1523 (55.8%) newborns as structurally and functionally normal, 866 (31.7%) had congenital heart disease, 69 (2.5%) duct dependent lesions, 248 (9.1%) persistent pulmonary hypertension and 23 (0.8%) left ventricular (LV) dysfunction but with structurally normal heart. Newborns with LV dysfunction might have hypoxic myocardial damage, metabolic derangements or acute myocarditis. Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) followed by Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) and Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) were the most frequent types of acyanotic CHD observed in 248 (28.2%), 171 (19.7%) and 100 (11.5%) neonates respectively while Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) was the most common type of cyanotic CHD 74 (8.5%).

Conclusion: VSD followed by PDA, ASD and TOF were the most common types of CHD among neonates. Diagnosis of congenital heart defects in the early age is pointing towards improvement in healthcare facilities.

Objectives: To evaluate the TG/HDL ratio test as a diagnostic tool for assessing the severity of CAD.

Methodology: This was a validation study conducted at the Indus Hospital, Karachi between March 2019 and March 2020. All patients irrespective of gender, aged above 18 years of age, who had chest pain or tightness radiating to the arms or shoulders, had shortness of breath, sweating or dizziness underwent an electrocardiogram (ECG) followed by coronary angiography in a catheterization lab were recruited in the study. Patients with a congenital heart disease or familial hyperlipidemia were excluded from the study. Lipid profiles were assessed by the principal author and were recorded in a predefined pro forma.

Results: The mean (SD) age of the subjects was 55.12 ± 9.93 years. A significant association of increasing TG/HDL ratio was observed with the severity of the illness (p<0.0001). The mean TG/HDL ratio was considerably varied in patients with mild to moderate, moderate to severe, and very severe disease from the control group and in the mean TG/HDL ratio of patients with mild to moderate from very severe disease patients (p<0.05).

Conclusion: The current study indicates a strong association of triglyceride to HDL-c ratio with severity of CAD. We recommend that TG/HDL ratio should be determined for CAD patients to assess the severity of CAD in addition to other lipoprotein products.

Objective: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) at younger age though infrequent but very crucial entity, but there is dearth of available data, however, a rising trend has noticed recently in Asian countries. The aim was to see the territorial and clinical profile influence on overall outcomes of young individuals (≤35 years) with STEMI.

Methodology: Patients with STEMI having age of ≤35 years during August 2020 to December 2020 were recruited and divided into left anterior descending artery (LAD)-culprit and non-LAD-culprit STEMI groups in this prospective observational study. Territorial angiographic and clinical characteristics were compared.

Results: 1435 STEMI patients underwent coronary angiogram, 5.3% (94) were ≤35 years of age. LAD was culprit in 74.4% of STEMI mainly as a single vessel disease (SVD) involving the proximal segment as major territorial angiographic finding while 25.5% were non-LAD-culprit STEMI.  Obesity, smoking, smokeless tobacco use especially gutka, were frequent in LAD-culprit group. In-hospital and at 3 months mortality was 2.1% (2) and 7.1% (5) respectively, all related to LAD territory. Rate of safe discharges and back to routine was 97.2% vs.100% and 70% vs.79.1% (72), respectively were comparable in both groups.

Conclusion: LAD predominantly its proximal segment is the commonest culprit territory in patients with STEMI in youth with significant association to obesity, smoking and smokeless tobacco use especially gutka. LAD-culprit STEMI is the major territorial determinant for mortality and heart failure, however, overall clinical outcomes were reasonably good and comparable with non-LAD-culprit STEMI considering alive discharges and back to routine life.

Published: June 2021

Dengue fever is a one of the most prevalent viral diseases transmitted by mosquitoes and may cause cardiac abnormalities such as AV blocks and ectopic ventricular beats. Atrial fibrillation, however, is not common. We report a case of an 81 year old female without any structural heart disease or comorbids, who presented with symptoms of atrial fibrillation 2 days after being diagnosed with Dengue fever. Rate controlling agents were given and a normal sinus rhythm was spontaneously achieved, which she maintained even on follow up 2 weeks later.

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a serious complication of unresolved pulmonary embolism. CTEPH is a potentially curable disease and the treatment of choice is pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) with complete clearance of pulmonary arteries being the principle of surgery. The surgery is performed under circulatory arrest during cardiopulmonary bypass circulation.

We report 3 cases of CTEPH in 2018-2019 at department of cardiothoracic surgery, Rehman Medical Institute, Peshawar. They were detected by echocardiography (TTE) and confirmed by CTPA. Pulmonary endarterectomy was performed with good peri-operative outcome and significant improvement of hemodynamics.

Authors: Ali Murtaza Najabat , Mir Mariam , Buszman Piotr
Published: June 2021

Objectives: The main objective of the study was to evaluate the implantation, safety, and vascular tissue effects of REJUVENATE® Cobalt Chromium Bare Metal Stent in the Porcine Coronary Restenosis model at short, mid and long-term follow up.

Methodology: A total of 18 REJUVENATE® bare metal stents (CoCr, 95 µm strut thickness) were implanted into the coronary arteries (RCA, LCX and LAD) of the six pigs. Throughout the study period, stent patency, vascular response, percent stenosis, late lumen loss and performance of stent were evaluated by angiography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and Histopathology (includes both Histopathology and histomorphometry) at 30, 90, and 180 days and compared with the results of control Bare Metal Stent Coflexus®. The mean, variance and standard deviation was analyzed using SPSS software.

Results: OCT and QCA analysis demonstrated two cases of binary restenosis at 30 days follow-up and two at 90 days follow-up (33%). The mean area stenosed for Rejuvenate® was 34% as compared to 24% of Coflexus® and at 180 days follow up, it decreased to 21%. The histopathology analysis demonstrated favorable safety with acceptable levels of neointimal formation, with decreased levels of inflammation and complete endothelialization in 180 days.

Conclusion: This study proved the potential safety of REJUVENATE® in porcine model and supports that this stent can move forward for the human trials.
