Legal Certainty in Judge's Decision Against Perpetubuhananak Criminal Actors Sentenced to Prison Under Special Minimum Limits (Case Study Number 38 / Pid.Sus / 2019 / Pn Pdg)
Authors: Rahim Fuad Ar , Ismansyah Ismansyah , Zurnetti Aria
Published: September 2020

The Judge's decision is closely related to how the Judge expresses his opinion or consideration based on the facts and evidence in the trial and the Judge's confidence in a case he is trying. Even though the Judge has free or independent power to impose his decision, the prison sentence is still below the specific minimum limit, causing controversy or debate, especially regarding what legal norms are used by the Judge in deciding the case, so that the Judge leaves aside the special minimum threat which is expressly regulated in the Child Protection Act. The verdict in the form of imprisonment imposed under this special minimum threshold can be considered too light and it is feared that it will not cause a deterrent effect for the perpetrators in the future and may damage the legal certainty as mandated in the Child Protection Act. This can be seen in the Padang district court's decision Case number 38 / Pid.Sus / 2019 / PN Pdg, the judge handed down a prison sentence below the specific minimum against the Defendant. The method used in this research is normative juridical method. This type of research is descriptive using secondary data. The results of the study show that 1) Judge's considerations in imposing a criminal sentence under the threat of a specific minimum prison sentence against the Defendant are based more on non-juridical considerations which are then used as judicial considerations of the Judge by observing the reconstruction of legal facts revealed at the trial and guided by Circular Supreme Court Number 1 Year 2017; 2) Judge's consideration of the conviction under a special minimum threat as the case above raises legal uncertainty both at the normative level and at the practical level.

Authors: Mahmud Ramli , Wantu Asmun , Limalo Ruslin
Published: September 2020

The political culture of the local community, especially the coastal communities in Dulupi District, Boalemo Regency, is the main instrument in strengthening democracy at the local level of Gorontalo. The composition of voters according to 2019 election data shows 38.4% or 4,418 voters in Dulupi District are in coastal areas including 2,926 people in Dulupi village and 1,492 people in Tabongo village. The figure of 38.4% shows that political participation for coastal communities will determine the direction of development and strengthening democracy at the local level, especially in Boalemo Regency. In fact, the strengthening of local democracy is strengthened through the participant's political culture, but the paternalistic coastal social system tends to direct the political culture of the local community to the parochial aspects and subjects or what is known as kaula politics. Therefore, the tendency of coastal communities to determine their political rights is more on the consideration of parochials and subjects than the participant's cultural aspects. This writing would like to analyze and map the orientation of the political culture of coastal communities in Dulupi District as an agenda for strengthening local democracy in Boalemo District which encompasses: 1) How is the cultural orientation of coastal communities in Dulupi District in strengthening Boalemo local democracy and 2) What factors affect the political cultural orientation of coastal communities in Dulupi District in strengthening Boalemo local democracy.

Published: September 2020

Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium with lymphocyte infiltration and myocyte necrosis leading to a wide range of clinical presentations including heart failure, arrhythmia, and cardiogenic shock. Infectious and noninfectious agents may trigger the disease. The fact that immunosuppressive drugs are useful in several kinds of autoimmune myocarditis is proof of the autoimmune mechanisms involved in the development of myocarditis. Pathogenic mechanisms in myocardial inflammation are including inflammasome activation followed by myocyte destruction, myocarditis, and pericarditis. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is a serum product made up of immunoglobulins, widely used in a variety of diseases. This product is effective in several immune-mediated pathologies. As well as the determined usage of IVIG in Kawasaki disease, IVIG may be useful in several kinds of heart failure including fulminant myocarditis, acute inflammatory cardiomyopathy, Giant Cell Myocarditis, and peripartum cardiomyopathy. Generally, IVIG is used in two different doses of low dose (200 to 400 mg/kg) and high dose (2 g/kg) regimen. The exact therapeutic effects of IVIG are not clear, however over the last decades, our knowledge about its mechanism of function has greatly enhanced. IVIG administration should be based on the accepted protocols of its transfusion. In this review article, we try to provide an overview of the different kinds of myocarditis, pathologic mechanisms and their common treatments and evaluation of the administration of IVIG in these diseases. Furthermore, we will review current protocols using IVIG in each disease individually.

T helper type 1 (Th1) and Th17 Cells with distinct cytokine profiles including interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin 17 (IL-17) have a pivotal role in neuroinflammation and myelin destruction in the central nervous system (CNS) in MS. MicroRNA-29b (MiR-29b) and miR-326 contribute to regulating Th1 and Th17 differentiation and altered expression of the miRNAs could be associated with response to treatment in multiple sclerosis (MS). Therefore, our study aimed to evaluate the percentage of Th1 and Th17 and determining the expression levels of miR-29b-3p and miR-326 in these lymphocyte subpopulations between responsive and non-responsive to interferon beta (IFN-β) therapy in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients. The present study was performed on 40 RRMS patients following treatment with IFN-β. The percentage of Th1 cells and Th17 cells were determined by flow cytometry in responsive and nonresponsive patients. The expression levels of miR-29b-3p and miR-326 were assessed in Th1 and Th17 cells by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to evaluate the plasma levels of IFN-γ and IL-17A. No significant difference was observed in the percentage of Th1 and Th17 cells as well as the expression levels of miR-29b-3p and miR-326 (in Th1 and Th17, respectively) in treated patients. Also, we did not find any significant difference in IFN-γ and IL-17A plasma concentration between responsive or non-responsive to IFN-β therapy in patients with RRMS. IFN-β may regulate other miRNAs in Th1 and Th17 cells than miR29b-3p and miR-326 in MS patients.

Published: September 2020

Several studies have been conducted to find suitable combinations of drugs to increase the efficacy of chemotherapy and reduce the resistance of tumor cells to treatment. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), as a ligand for Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4), can modify immune responses in different cancers. Although multiple studies have been performed in this area, the effect of LPS on tumor cells remains controversial. In the present study, the cytotoxic effects of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), with or without LPS, were evaluated in human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) on apoptosis and gene expression in downstream signaling pathways. MCF-7 was obtained from the Pasteur Institute of Iran. The effects of LPS and 5-FU on cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and gene expression in NF-κB, ERK, and AKT signaling pathways were evaluated by MTT assay, Annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) apoptosis assay, and qRTPCR, respectively. Our findings showed that LPS alone did not significantly affect cytotoxicity or apoptosis, compared to the control cells (untreated cells), while combined with 5-FU, it caused a significant increase in the apoptosis of cancer cells and decreased cell viability. It was also concluded that LPS in combination with 5-FU increased TLR-4 expression and downregulated gene expression in NF-κB, ERK, and AKT pathways (p=0.001). Although the role of LPS in tumor inhibition or progression remains controversial, our findings suggest that LPS can be considered a novel complementary approach intranslational oncology research of breast cancer therapy.

Brain tumors are the rarest cause of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea. Non-traumatic cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea is also a relatively rare condition. It may be misdiagnosed as allergic rhinitis or chronic sinusitis and lead to unsuitable treatment. We described a 34-yearold man who came to our allergy clinic with a chief complaint of clear rhinorrhea from his left nostril with more than four years of duration. Only hypertrophy of left inferior concha was found in the clinical examination. His rhinorrhea aggravated when bending forward. So we were suspicious of CSF rhinorrhea.MRI was done for him and demonstrated a large tumor in the pineal region. The patient underwent surgery with resection of the mass via an infratentorial-supracerebellar approach. This case showed the role of maintaining differential diagnosis for a common complaint; rhinitis which is seen as usual.
Unfulfilled Inflammatory Resolution: A Key Factor in the Pathogenesis of Psoriasis
Authors: Jadali Zohreh
Published: September 2020

Recent literature has highlighted the importance of chronic inflammation in psoriasis pathogenesis. Non-resolving inflammation can trigger progressive tissue damage and inflammatory mediator release which in turn perpetuate the inflammatory cycle. Under normal conditions, inflammatory responses are tightly controlled through several mechanisms that restore normal tissue function and structure. Defects in regulatory mechanisms of the inflammatory response can result in persistent unresolved inflammation and further increases of inflammation. Therefore, this review focuses on defects in regulatory mechanisms of inflammatory responses that lead to uncontrolled chronic inflammation in psoriasis. Databases such as Pubmed Embase, ISI, and Iranian databases including Iranmedex, and SID were researched to identify relevant literature. The results of this review indicate that dysregulation of the inflammatory response may be a likely cause of various immune-mediated inflammatory disorders such as psoriasis. Based on current findings, advances in understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in inflammation resolution are not only improving our knowledge of the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases but also supporting the development of new therapeutic strategies.

Background and Aims: Iron Deficiency (ID) is a common obstetric problem and nutritional disorder that occurs mostly in developing countries. Hence, nutritional studies are required every few years to determine the necessary healthcare interventions for pregnant women. This cross-sectional study evaluated the plasma iron, ferritin, transferrin, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC) levels of pregnant women referred to the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada, Abuja, Nigeria.
Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected from 58 non-pregnant women, 22 pregnant women in the first trimester, 52 in second, and 44 in the third trimester. The plasma ferritin concentration of these samples was measured by chemiluminescence assay, while the plasma transferrin, TIBC, and iron concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Plasma ferritin levels <15μg/L were considered ID.
Results: The overall prevalence of ID in pregnant women was 33.1%. However, the prevalence of ID was 29.3%, 22.7%, 34.6%, and 36.4% among non-pregnant women, women in the first trimester, second and third trimester, respectively. The mean±SEM iron levels were significantly higher among pregnant women compared to non-pregnant women (p=0.004). There was no significant difference in the mean±SEM of plasma ferritin, transferrin and TIBC concentrations between pregnant and non-pregnant women (p>0.05). Nevertheless, the mean±SEM plasma iron, ferritin, and UIBC significantly differed across the gestational ages of pregnant women (p<0.05).
Conclusions: This study revealed a high prevalence of ID during pregnancy, which increases with the trimester of affected women. Healthcare interventional measures that can address ID are recommended.

Authors: LI Li , LI Mu
Published: September 2020

Background: The incidence rate of depression in youth demographic increases year by year. High-level psychological capital is conducive to relieving depression, and mindfulness training is an effective psychotherapy. We aimed to investigate the influences of mindfulness training on psychological capital, depression, and procrastination, thereby providing a direction for psychotherapy in the youth demographic.
Method: A questionnaire survey on the youths in four resident communities in the cities of Wuhan and Tai’an in China was carried out in 2020 by sending a self-rating depression scale (SDS). A total of 240 youth with SDS standard scores >53 were filtered out, as the research objects to be assessed by using SDS, positive psychological capital questionnaire (PPQ), five-facet mindfulness questionnaire (FFMQ), and pure procrastination scale (PPS).
Results: Two groups showed no statistically significant differences in SDS, PPQ, FFMQ, and PPS scores before intervention. Self-efficacy, toughness, hope, optimism, and PPQ scores of the experimental group were improved significantly after intervention compared with those before the intervention, and they were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). SDS, PPQ, FFMQ, and PPS scores showed statistically significant differences before and after intervention. SDS and PPS scores of the experimental group after intervention were far lower than those of the control group, while FFMQ score was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Mindfulness training can improve psychological capital of the youth demographic effectively and relieve their depression, thereby improving their procrastination.
The Power of Multidimensional Poverty in Explaining Life Expectancy: Empirical Evidence from Cross-Sectional Data of 62 Developing Countries
Authors: TAFRAN Khaled , TUMIN Makmor , OSMAN Ahmad Farid
Published: September 2020

Background: We examined whether multidimensional poverty index (MPI) explained variations in life expectancy (LE) better than income poverty; and assessed the relative importance of MPI indicators in influencing LE.
Methods: Cross-sectional data from 62 developing countries were used to run several multivariate linear regressions. R2 was used to compare the powers of MPI with income-poverties (income poverty gaps [IPG] at 1.9 and 3.1 USD) in explaining LE.
Results: Adjusting for controls, both MPI (β =-0.245, P<0.001) and IPG at 3.1 USD (β=-0.135, P=0.044) significantly correlates with LE, but not IPG at 1.9 USD (β=-0.147, P=0.135). MPI explains 12.1% of the variation in LE compared to only 3.2% explained by IPG at 3.1 USD. The effect of MPI on LE is higher on female (β=- 0.210, P<0.001) than male (β=-0.177, P<0.001). The relative influence of the deprivation indictors on LE ranks as follows (most to least): Asset ownership, drinking water, cooking fuel, flooring, child school attendance, years of schooling, nutrition, mortality, improved sanitation, and electricity.
Conclusion: Interventions to reduce poverty and improve LE should be guided by MPI, not income poverty indices. Such policies should be female-oriented and prioritized based on the relative influence of the various poverty deprivation indicators on LE.

Authors: SHERWAN NAW , MUBARIK Sumaira , NABI Ghulam , WANG Suqing , FAN Cuifang
Published: September 2020

Background: Advanced maternal age (AMA) is considered a risk factor associated with preeclampsia and adverse pregnancy outcomes. We aimed to assess the mediating role of preeclampsia between AMA and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Methods: A sample of 14646 pregnant women from the tertiary hospital of Hubei Province, China, during the years 2011-2017 were included in this study. Pregnant women were divided into 4 groups according to their age at delivery. Mediated effect of preeclampsia with relation to AMA and adverse pregnancy outcomes was measured using structural equation modeling.
Results: Women in the highest age group were significantly associated with preterm delivery [RR 1.37 (95% CI 1.24 - 1.49)] and low birth weight [RR 1.28 (95% CI 1.11 - 1.45)] compared with women in the lowest age group. The indirect effect (mediated effect) of AMA on preterm delivery and low birth weight mediated by preeclampsia was [β 0.053 (95% CI: 0.047, 0.060)], and [β 0.045 (95% CI: 0.038, 0.052)], respectively. The estimated mediation proportion of the effect of AMA due to mediated effect of preeclampsia was (35.5%) for preterm delivery and (23.5%) for low birth weight.
Conclusion: Preeclampsia partially mediates the association between AMA and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Published: September 2020

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been found as the most considerable causes of cervical cancer. Recently, several molecular methods have been introduced to increase the accuracy of the screening programs and decrease the mortality rate. Among these methods, mRNA-based methods have more advantages as they assess the expression level of HPV E6 and E7 oncogenic mRNAs. This study aimed to evaluate the results of HPV RNA- and DNA-based methods among Iranian women population with normal cytology results.
Methods: Overall, 4640 women were enrolled referred to the Gynecology Oncology Ward of Vali-e-Asr Hospital, private and academic clinics, Tehran, Iran from Jan 2016 to Apr 2018. To assess the HPV-DNA infection INNO-LiPA® HPV Genotyping Extra-II kit was used. For HPV-RNA assessment, Aptima HPV Assay and in house HPV-RNA genotyping methods were applied.
Results: The positivity rates of HPV infection according to DNA- and RNA-based methods were 18.0% and 11.2%, respectively (P<0.001). The positive predictive value, negative predictive value, specificity and sensitivity of DNA-based method in contrast with RNA-based method were 59.2% (56.6-61.6), 99.4% (99.0-99.6), 91.7% (90.8-92.6) and 95.2% (93.0-96.9) respectively.
Conclusion: At the present study for prognosis of cervical cancer, RNA-based method seemed to be more specific in contrast to DNA-based method. Patient follow up and further studies will be conducted in order to clarify the clinical sensitivity and specificity of the two methods.

Published: September 2020

Background: The study aimed to assess affecting structural factors on the entrepreneurship behavior of the academic members of healthcare in Qazvin University of Medical Sciences, Central Iran.
Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted among faculty members working in five faculties of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences, Iran in 2018. Data were collected using a three-part standard questionnaire including demographic characteristics, entrepreneurial behavior and structural factors questions. ANOVA and linear regression modeling were used in STATA software version 14.
Results: Of 270 academic staff who participated in the study, 204 (73%) completed the questionnaire. The mean score reported for entrepreneurial behavior was 3.76±0.55 considered high tendency toward entrepreneurship. Moreover, the average conditions of the structural elements have been 2.51±0.89 considered average. Linear regression analysis showed that along with increasing age, entrepreneurship behavior increased (P=0.018, β=0.52), while an increase in educational level led to a decrease in entrepreneurship behaviour (P=0.001, β=-0.74). In a final model, organizational structure revealed a significant effect on entrepreneurship behavior (P<0.001, β=0.25). Only physical facilities didn't show a statistical significant effect on entrepreneurship score (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Universities must also pay attention to acquiring and developing the science and technology gained from academic research and transferring them through entrepreneurship channels. Considering the effect of structural elements on entrepreneurial behavior of the academic members, the need for such substructure in the universities and the country’s higher education organizations to assist development of entrepreneurial behavior among the academicians is greatly felt.

Published: September 2020

Purpose: Cat-scratch disease is caused by Bartonella henselae infection and it commonly presents in children with a mild cutaneous lesion and adjacent lymphadenitis. It has rarely been observed that it can present as a disseminated infection, such as encephalitis or pneumonia. We present a case report of a 35-year old, immunocompetent, patient who suffered pneumonia and encephalitis, resulting from Bartonella henselae infection. We also present a review of the literature published regarding this rare complication.

Methods: We’ve searched the literature in the databases of Pubmed and Google Scholar to find articles that report pulmonary presentations of cat-scratch disease.

Results: We’ve found only 16 other reported similar cases with pulmonary involvement in cat-scratch disease.

Conclusions: Pulmonary presentation in cat-scratch disease is an uncommon presentation of a common disease, and it should be ruled out, even in cases it seems unlikely.
Predictors of Omphalitis among Spontaneous Vertex Delivery Neonates in Nakuru County Hospital, Kenya
Authors: Kinanu Lucy , Mwaura James , Karani Anne
Published: September 2020

Background; Omphalitis (umbilical cord infection) among new-borns is common and a major cause of neonatal deaths in developing countries. Annually, about 4 million neonatal deaths occur around the world. Of these, >30% are caused by infections that mainly from umbilical cord. Cord care practices may directly contribute neonatal infections, largely contributing tothis was part data from a larger randomized trial among 540 participant’s neonatal deaths. Cord infections are more prevalent in developing countries because of the high rates of poverty and unhygienic practices.

Objective: To determine the predictors of omphalitis among neonates in Nakuru County Hospital, Kenya.

Methodology This was part data from a larger randomized trial among 540 participants.

Findings: The prevalence of Omphalitis was 23.1. Babies whose mothers’ did not wash hands when eating had 2.14 times risk of developing cord infection compared to those babies whose mothers’ indicated otherwise [AOR=2.14; 95%CI=1.28 - 3.57; p=0.004]. Likewise, babies whose mothers’ never folded diapers backwards were twice likely over those who did to develop cord infection [AOR=1.88; 95%CI=1.03 - 3.44; p=0.039]. Babies whose mothers’ stayed in different rooms had 7.35 times risk of developing cord infection [AOR=7.35; 95%CI=3.40 - 15.91; p<0.001] over those roomed in.

Conclusion and recommendation: Maternal and caretakers hand hygiene, folding back of diapers and rooming in are critical in cord infection prevention. Health education to mothers and care takers on the importance of hand hygiene, diaper application and importance of rooming in is recommended to minimise omphalitis and consequential morbidity.

Bamboo is a fast-growing woody perennial and grass species, has a unique feature and quality. It has a high potential for socio-economic development and for environmental improvement. The study was conducted in Benshangul Gumuz Regional state, which lowland bamboo highly dominated area. This study aims to identify the best vegetative propagation techniques for Oxytenanthera abyssinica species. Randomized complete block design with three replications was used. The propagation materials were offset, rhizome without node, and rhizome with two-node and whole culm. Totally, 108 planting materials were planted. Nine planting materials were used in each plot level. The survival rate, newly sprouted shoots; their height and root collar increment data were collected. There was a significant difference in number of newly sprouted shoots between the propagation techniques. Higher numbers of sprouted shoots and survival rates were recorded in offset and rhizome with two nodes than rhizome without node and whole culm propagation techniques. While there was a significant difference between the mean shoot height of propagation techniques. In addition, there was no significant difference in root collar diameter between propagation techniques. The finding suggests that rhizome with two-node propagation techniques are appropriate for large and small scale plantation of Oxytenanthera abyssinica.

BACKGROUND: Glutamine, a non-essential amino acid, is the main fuel in the gastrointestinal mucosa. It is thought to protect the intestinal mucosa against local or systemic injury from diarrhea. This study aimed to determine the relationship between glutamine supplementation and ileum histopathology in acute and chronic diarrhea rats induced by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC).METHODS: A randomized post-test only control group design was conducted. Thirty Rattus norvegicus Wistar strain were divided into 5 groups: one negative control group, two acute, and two chronic diarrhea groups. All four diarrhea groups were induced by EPEC at a dose of 108 CFU/mL. One acute and one chronic groups were supplemented with glutamine at a dose of 810 mg/200 g body weight for 14 days. While the other two diarrhea groups were not treated. The intestinal histopathology of each group was assessed and the level of inflammation was classified.RESULTS: Significant differences in inflammation levels were found among the groups (p<0.05). The highest inflammation level was observed in the acute diarrhea group without glutamine supplementation. Inflammation levels of both acute and chronic diarrhea with glutamine supplementation groups were significantly lower than the inflammation levels of acute and chronic diarrhea without glutamine supplementation groups.CONCLUSION: Supplementation of glutamine reduces the level of inflammation and leads to the histopathological improvement of the rat’s ileum.KEYWORDS: enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, glutamine, gastrointestinal tract, histopathology, ileum

BACKGROUND: Sinonasal inverted papilloma (SIP), a benign epithelial growth in the sinonasal region with epidermoid epithelial transformation, has been known for its invasiveness, recurrency, and its link with malignancy. Meanwhile sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SSCC) is an epithelial malignancy on squamous cells from the sinonasal region. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Nuclear Factor kB (NF-kB), and Cyclin D1 are factors those might play important role in proliferation of SIP and SSCC. This research was conducted to investigate the expressions of EGFR, NF-kB and Cyclin D1 in SIP and SSCC.METHODS: A cross-sectional study by examining the EGFR, NF-kB, and Cyclin D1 immunohistochemical expressions of SIP and SSCC was conducted. Subjects whose blocks were used in this research, were diagnosed as SIP and SSCC at the Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Clinic, Dr. Saiful Anwar General Hospital. Samples were selected, processed for inmmunohistochemistry, evaluated and statistical analyzed.RESULTS: Twenty-four SIP and 9 SSCC subjects with their paraffin blocks were selected. Clear immunohistochemical expressions of EGFR, NF-kB, and Cyclin D1 were observed for both SIP and SSCC. Significantly higher immunostaining levels of EGFR (45.6%, p=0.001) and NF-kB (42.2%, p=0.013) were observed in SSCC. Immunostaining levels of EGFR vs. NF-kB were moderately correlated (p=0.03, r=0.437), while the immunostaining levels of NF-kB vs. Cyclin D1 were strongly correlated (p=0.002, r=0.602).CONCLUSION: Expression of EGFR and NF-kB in SSCC were higher than the EGFR and NF-kB expression in SIP, suggesting that EGFR and NF-kB play important role in sinonasal malignancy.KEYWORDS: sinonasal, inverted papilloma, SCC, EGFR, NF-kB, Cyclin D1
