Uncoated vs. Antibiotic‐Coated Tibia Nail in Open Diaphyseal Tibial Fracture (42 according to AO Classification): A Single Center Experience
Authors: Greco Tommaso , Cianni Luigi , Polichetti Chiara , Inverso Michele , Maccauro Giulio , Perisano Carlo
Published: October 2021

Implant‐associated infections remain one of the main problems in the treatment of open tibia fractures. The role of systemic antibiotic prophylaxis is now agreed and accepted; nevertheless, recent literature also seems to emphasize the importance of local antibiotic therapy at the fracture site. Several therapeutic strategies have been proposed to overcome this new need. Antibiotic‐coated nails play crucial role in this, allowing both infection prevention and favoring the fracture stabilization. We describe the outcome of patients with open diaphyseal tibia fracture treated either with a standard uncoated nail or a gentamicin‐coated nail from January 2016 to December 2018 at our second level emergency‐urgency department. Primary outcomes were infection rate and bone union rate. Other outcomes reported are reoperation rate, time between injury and nailing, and safety of antibiotic nail. Numerical variables were tabulated using mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, and number of observations. Categorical variables were tabulated using number of observations. 23 patients treated with uncoated nail and 23 patients treated with antibiotic‐coated tibia nail were included in the study and were evaluated for a minimum follow‐up of 18 months. Among the 46 patients, 9 were Gustilo‐Anderson type I, 21 type II, and 16 type III open fracture. Regarding the bone healing rate at 12 months, 16 fractures in the first group and 18 in the second were completely healed. 4 infections were found in the first group (3 superficial surgical site infection and 1 osteomyelitis) and 3 superficial infections in the second one. No adverse events have been recorded with antibiotic‐coated nails. In this unicentric retrospective study observed no deep wound infections and good fracture healing in the use of antibiotic‐coated nails. Antibiotic nails have been shown to play a role in the treatment of fractures in critically ill patients with severe soft tissue damage.

Published: October 2021

Cemented paste backfill (CPB) plays an important role in the mining industry due to safety, cost efficiency, and environmental benefits. Studies on CPB have improved the design and application of paste backfill in underground mines. Direct shear is one of the most fundamental parameters for assessing backfill strength. This study harnesses direct shear tests to explore the low confining stress behavior of CPB. We perform all the tests in a standard apparatus on the combination of three binder contents of 4.2%, 6.9%, and 9.7% CPB with four curing times of 3, 7, 14, and 28 days, respectively. The applied confining stress levels vary in a range according to the in situ regime. Results are presented by strength envelope, stress‐strain property, and shear strength with curing time and binder content. The data suggest that the shear strength follows the Mohr–Coulomb envelope in which the shear strength and behavior are time and binder content dependent. In addition, the results show that shear strength is strongly related to the binder content than the curing time, namely, the higher the degree of binder hydration, the higher the cementation binding force between CPBs.

Published: October 2021

Prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD), a chronic, pruritic, and relapsing inflammatory skin disorder, is growing. Because available therapeutics is limited, immune regulators from natural resources could be helpful for treating AD symptoms. The root of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (Lamiaceae) has been studied for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, including dermatologic disorders in Korea. This study examined the effect of salvianolic acid A on AD-like symptoms. Sensitization on the dorsal skin and repeated application on the ears with 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) were performed in BALB/c mice to induce AD-like skin lesions. After induction of atopic dermatitis, salvianolic acid A (5 and 10 mg/kg) or dexamethasone (10 mg/kg) were administrated via intraperitoneal injection for 3 weeks. Salvianolic acid A suppressed DNCB-induced AD-like symptoms like ear skin hypertrophy and decreased mast cell infiltration into skin lesions. Salvianolic acid A not only reduced DNCB-induced increase of serum IgE but also lowered levels of the Th2 cytokines (IL-4 and IL-13), Th1 cytokine (interferon-γ), and Th17 cytokine (IL-17A). Furthermore, salvianolic acid A blocked DNCB-induced lymph node enlargement. In summary, these results suggest that salvianolic acid A might have a therapeutic potential for the treatment of AD.

Published: October 2021

Objective. To explore the postoperative complications of distal radius fractures and analyze the related factors that affect its prognosis. Methods. The clinical data of 50 patients with distal radius fractures admitted to our hospital from October 2016 to September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were followed up for 6–12 months, and their postoperative complications were recorded. Collect general patient information and related clinical data. During the follow-up process, Gartland and Werley wrist function scoring system was used to evaluate the prognosis of patients’ joint function. Univariate analysis and multiple logistic regression models were used to analyze the related factors that affected the prognosis of patients. Results. 15 patients with postoperative complications were found during the follow-up period, with an incidence rate of 30.00%. Univariate analysis showed that the patient’s age, cause of injury, AO classification, shortened deformity, whether it was osteoporosis, surgical method, whether it was combined with other fractures on the same side, whether it was comminuted fracture, and the time to start postoperative exercise were all related to the distal radius. The prognosis of fractures is related (

P

). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that age, AO classification, surgical method, whether it was combined with other fractures on the same side, whether it was comminuted fracture, and the time to start postoperative exercise were the independent factors affecting the prognosis of distal radius fractures (

P

). Conclusion. The postoperative complications of distal radius fractures are higher. The prognosis is related to the patient’s age, AO classification, surgical method, whether it is combined with other fractures on the same side, whether it is comminuted fracture, and the time to start postoperative exercise. Therefore, choosing an appropriate surgical method and starting exercise in time can effectively improve the recovery of the patient’s wrist function and reduce the occurrence of complications.

Published: October 2021

To solve prostatic hyperplasia in the elderly, a method of cystostomy with plasma bipolar resection was proposed. From January 2019 to March 2020, 42 patients with BPH who needed surgical treatment in the urological department were selected. Cystostomy was performed in bipolar TURP. The cystostomy group and robot group were divided into two groups. The surgical safety, surgical efficiency, complications, and nursing time between the two groups were compared. The results showed that the experimental and control groups’ RUV values were significantly lower than those before surgery. In comparison, the Qmax value was considerably higher than that before surgery. The difference was statistically significant (

P
<

), suggesting that the cystostomy group in bipolar TURP had more substantial improvement of dysuria, better recovery of detrusor function, and better prognosis. It was proved that, for BPH below 80 g, cystostomy could reduce the operation time, bladder irrigation time, catheter indwelling time, and postoperative hospital stay, improve the operation efficiency, and have the same effect on patients’ symptoms improvement, more excellent psychological support, and higher quality of life score. It is proved that plasma bipolar resection combined with cystostomy can effectively improve annual BPH surgery.

Published: October 2021

Based on the theories of social network, social support, and retirement process, this study analyzes the source and composition of social support for Chinese athletes on the basis of constructing the social support network. Subsequently, we analyze the impact of social support on employment quality of Chinese athletes from different dimensions and further explore the mechanism of social support on the employment quality of athletes from the moderating role of athletes’ self‐employment cognition. The study found that the social support network of athletes showed a clear tendency toward “strong ties,” and the social support they received mainly came from family members, teammates, and sports team managers. These kinds of social support will directly promote the employment quality of athletes after retirement. When athletes have full knowledge of their future employment status, the effect of social support in promoting employment quality will be further expanded.

Published: October 2021

Automatic identification and location of farmland pests are an important direction of target detection research. The wide variety of pests and the similarity between pest categories make the automatic identification of farmland pests have some problems, such as high error rate and difficult identification. In order to achieve a better target for automatic identification and location of farmland pests, this paper proposes a lightweight pest detection model, and the network is the EfficientNet proposed by Google, which achieves the detection of 26 pests, the idea based on the classical Yolo target detection algorithm. First of all, features were extracted through the lightweight backbone, and then multiscale feature fusion is performed by PANet; finally, three feature matrices with different sizes were output to predict pests of different sizes. Using CIOU as the loss function of regression prediction better reflects the relative position of the prior box and the real box. The experimental results are compared with other lightweight algorithms, and the results show that the accuracy rate of the algorithm for identification and localization of agricultural pest in this paper is the highest and could reach 93.73%. Moreover, the model is lightweight and can be deployed on low‐cost equipment, which reduces the cost of equipment and accurately predicts the status of pests and diseases in farmland. In practice, it is shown that the algorithm can effectively solve the problems of large number of pests, pest accumulation, background interference, and has strong robustness.

It is challenging to enhance heavy oil recovery in the late stages of steam flooding. This challenge is due to reduced residual oil saturation, high steam-oil ratio, and lower profitability. A field test of the CO2-assisted steam flooding technique was carried out in the steam-flooded heavy oil reservoir in the J6 block of the Xinjiang oil field (China). In the field test, a positive response to the CO2-assisted steam flooding treatment was observed, including a gradually increasing heavy oil production, an increase in the formation pressure, and a decrease in the water cut. The production wells in the test area mainly exhibited four types of production dynamics, and some of the production wells exhibited production dynamics that were completely different from those during steam flooding. After being flooded via CO2-assisted steam flooding, these wells exhibited a gravity drainage pattern without steam channeling issues, and hence, they yielded stable oil production. In addition, emulsified oil and CO2 foam were produced from the production well, which agreed well with the results of laboratory-scale tests. The reservoir-simulation-based prediction for the test reservoir shows that the CO2-assisted steam flooding technique can reduce the steam-oil ratio from 12 m3 (CWE)/t to 6 m3 (CWE)/t and can yield a final recovery factor of 70%.

Invasive mucinous lung adenocarcinoma (IMA) is a subtype of lung adenocarcinoma with a strong invasive ability. IMA frequently carries "undruggable" KRAS mutations, highlighting the need for new molecular targets and therapies. Nuclear receptor HNF4α is abnormally enriched in IMA, but the potential of HNF4α to be a therapeutic target for IMA remains unknown. Here, we report that P2 promoter-driven HNF4α expression promotes IMA growth and metastasis. Mechanistically, HNF4α transactivated lncRNA BC200, which acted as a scaffold for mRNA binding protein FMR1. BC200 promoted the ability of FMR1 to bind and regulate stability of cancer-related mRNAs and HNF4α mRNA, forming a positive feedback circuit. Mycophenolic acid, the active metabolite of FDA-approved drug mycophenolate mofetil, was identified as an HNF4α antagonist exhibiting anti-IMA activities in vitro and in vivo. This study reveals the role of a HNF4α-BC200-FMR1–positive feedback loop in promoting mRNA stability during IMA progression and metastasis, providing a targeted therapeutic strategy for IMA.

Significance:

Growth and metastatic progression of invasive mucinous lung adenocarcinoma can be restricted by targeting HNF4α, a critical regulator of a BC200-FMR1-mRNA stability axis.
Catecholamines Mediate Psychologic Stress–Induced Cancer Progression
Authors: Bernabé Daniel G.
Published: October 2021

Catecholamines, which are involved in response to physical or emotional stress, have emerged as one of the main mediators of the relationship between chronic stress and cancer progression. The study in this issue of Cancer Research by Liu and colleagues reveals a new mechanism by which psychologic stress stimulates cancer progression through the D2 dopamine receptor and activation of the oxygen-independent HIF1α pathway. Although most investigations so far have focused on the action of the stress-related catecholamines norepinephrine and epinephrine on tumor cells, this study shows that dopamine and its receptor can be a potential therapeutic target. The findings broaden the understanding of the interaction of catecholamines with the tumor microenvironment and reinforces the need to look at psychologic stress as a modulator of cancer progression.

PTOV1 is an oncogenic protein, initially identified in prostate cancer, that promotes proliferation, cell motility, and invasiveness. However, the mechanisms that regulate PTOV1 remain unclear. Here, we identify 14-3-3 as a PTOV1 interactor and show that high levels of 14-3-3 expression, like PTOV1, correlate with prostate cancer progression. We discover an SGK2-mediated phosphorylation of PTOV1 at S36, which is required for 14-3-3 binding. Disruption of the PTOV1–14–3-3 interaction results in an accumulation of PTOV1 in the nucleus and a proteasome-dependent reduction in PTOV1 protein levels. We find that loss of 14-3-3 binding leads to an increase in PTOV1 binding to the E3 ubiquitin ligase HUWE1, which promotes proteasomal degradation of PTOV1. Conversely, our data suggest that 14-3-3 stabilizes PTOV1 protein by sequestering PTOV1 in the cytosol and inhibiting its interaction with HUWE1. Finally, our data suggest that stabilization of the 14-3-3–bound form of PTOV1 promotes PTOV1-mediated expression of cJun, which drives cell-cycle progression in cancer. Together, these data provide a mechanism to understand the regulation of the oncoprotein PTOV1.

Implications:

These findings identify a potentially targetable mechanism that regulates the oncoprotein PTOV1.
Glioblastoma–Astrocyte Connexin 43 Gap Junctions Promote Tumor Invasion
Authors: McCutcheon Sean , Spray David C.
Published: October 2021

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), classified as World Health Organization grade IV astrocytoma, is the deadliest adult cancer of the central nervous system. An important contributing factor to poor survival rates in GBM is extensive invasion, which decreases the efficacy of resection and subsequent adjuvant therapies. These treatments could be markedly improved with increased resolution of the genetic and molecular initiators and effectors of invasion. Connexin 43 (Cx43) is the principal astrocytic gap junction (GJ) protein. Despite the heterogeneity of GBM, a subpopulation of cells in almost all GBM tumors express Cx43. Functional GJs between GBM cells and astrocytes at the tumor edge are of critical interest for understanding invasion. In this study, we find that both in vitro and in ex vivo slice cultures, GBM is substantially less invasive when placed in a Cx43-deficient astrocyte environment. Furthermore, when Cx43 is deleted in GBM, the invasive phenotype is recovered. These data strongly suggest that there are opposing roles for Cx43 in GBM migration. We find that Cx43 is localized to the tumor edge in our ex vivo model, suggesting that GBM–astrocyte GJ communication at the tumor border is a driving force for invasion. Finally, we find that by a Cx43-dependent mechanism, but likely not direct channel-mediated diffusion, miRNAs associated with cell–matrix adhesion are transferred from GBM to astrocytes and miR-19b promotes invasion, revealing a role for post-transcriptional manipulation of astrocytes in fostering an invasion-permissive peritumoral niche.

Implications:

Cx43-mediated communication, specifically miRNA transfer, profoundly impacts glioblastoma invasion and may enable further therapeutic insight.
PinX1 Depletion Improves Liver Injury in a Mouse Model of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease via Increasing Telomerase Activity and Inhibiting Apoptosis
Authors: Huang Erjiong , Xu Ke , Gu Xuemei , Zhu Qihan
Published: October 2021

PIN2/TRF1-interacting telomerase inhibitor 1 (PinX1) can inhibit tumor growth by inhibiting telomerase activity. However, only few studies investigated the expression and function of PinX1 in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Thus, here we aimed to explore the roles of PinX1 in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced NAFLD in mice and in isolated hepatocytes. The mRNA expression of PinX1 and mTERT as well as telomere length were analyzed by RT-PCR. Pathological changes were detected by HE staining and oil red O staining. Triglyceride, cholesterol, alanine aminotransferase, aspartic aminotransferase, and telomerase activity were detected by ELISA. Hepatocyte apoptosis was determined by TUNEL and flow cytometry, and protein expression was analyzed by western blotting. We found that the expression of PinX1 was upregulated in the HFD group compared with the WT group. PinX1 knockout improved HFD-induced liver injury in mice and exhibited less lipid accumulation in hepatocytes. Moreover, telomere length, telomerase activity, and mTERT expression were significantly reduced in liver tissues of HFD-induced mice and palmitic acid-induced hepatocytes, while PinX1 knockout attenuated the effect. Furthermore, HFD-induced PinX1−/− mice exhibited less hepatocyte apoptosis than HFD-induced WT mice. Besides, PinX1 knockout inhibited the increase of cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved PARP expression in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, inhibition of mTERT reversed the effect of PinX1 knockout in hepatocytes. Taken together, our findings indicate that PinX1 promotes hepatocyte apoptosis and lipid accumulation by decreasing telomere length and telomerase activity in the development of NAFLD. PinX1 might be a target for the treatment of NAFLD.
Interpersonal and Intersubjective Alienation in Social Stigmatization and Depression
Authors: Paskaleva-Yankova Asena
Published: October 2021

The subjective experience of social stigma has been widely researched in terms of discrimination, rejection, isolation, etc. These are commonly understood within the traditional individualistic framework of affective experience and sociality, which fails to address the transformative effects of social stigma on how one experiences the social realm and the own self in general. Phenomenology and recent work on the relationality of affective experience acknowledge the central role interpersonal interactions play in subjectivity and offer a suitable approach towards addressing the complexity of the subjective experience of social stigma. Focussing on autobiographical accounts, I propose that the experience of social stigmatization is characterized by an affective atmosphere of interpersonal alienation. Its counterpart, an atmosphere of belonging, is closely related to social empathy, which is eroded by prejudicial attitudes and stereotypes. The breakdown of social empathy establishes a peculiar form of relationless relationality that radically transforms one’s subjectivity. The transformation of subjectivity is structurally similar to disturbances of intersubjectivity in psychopathological conditions such as depression and feelings of disconnectedness, loneliness, and even shame are common in both cases.

Introduction: Psychological disorders, such as depression, are markedly prevalent in patients with airway diseases. In this study, we assessed the effect of treatment with dupilumab, an IL-4 receptor α chain antibody, on depressive symptoms in a cohort of patients with asthma with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS). Methods: The study participants, diagnosed with asthma and ECRS, were assessed for symptoms and quality of life (QOL) scores for asthma and ECRS and medications. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scores were used to evaluate the depressive state. The depressive symptoms were compared with asthma and ECRS symptoms both at the time of initiation and after 4 months of dupilumab treatment. Results: Ultimately, 31 patients were included in the study. Most patients demonstrated a depressive state that was correlated with the nasal symptom score. In the evaluation 4 months after dupilumab treatment, the PHQ-9 score was significantly reduced, and the decrease was remarkable in patients whose nasal symptom score was reduced by 50% or more. Additionally, the PHQ-9 scores in patients with improved nasal and asthma symptoms were significantly reduced. Discussion/Conclusion: Dupilumab may improve QOL in patients with bronchial asthma with ECRS by reducing depressive symptoms through the improvement of clinical symptoms.

Authors: Fu Yantao , Pang Liwei , Dai Wanlin , Wu Shuodong , Kong Jing
Published: October 2021

Background: Acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) is characterized by acute necrotizing inflammation with no calculi and is diagnosed based on imaging, intraoperative, and pathological examinations. Key Message: Although AAC has been studied clinically for a long time, it remains difficult to diagnose and treat. The pathogenesis of AAC is still not fully understood, and it is often regarded as a relatively independent clinical disease that is different from acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC). Pathological studies suggest that AAC is the manifestation of a critical systemic disease, while ACC is a local disease of the gallbladder. Summary: Concerning the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of AAC, we reviewed the research progress of AAC, which will enhance the understanding of the early diagnosis and treatment of AAC.

As Horas: adaptação de Virginia Woolf para o leitor comum
Authors: Mesquita Ana Carolina de Carvalho
Published: October 2021

O filme As Horas (2003), de S. Daldry (mesmo diretor do cult Billy Eliot), adaptação cinematográfica do romance homônimo de Michael Cunningham, foi um grande sucesso na época de seu lançamento e rendeu um Oscar à atriz Nicole Kidman. Contudo, pouco se sabe que o filme representa um duplo processo adaptativo – um deles situado à frente, o outro oculto. Isso porque o próprio livro de Cunningham é, em si, uma adaptação: para escrevê-lo, o autor valeu-se de diversas obras da escritora Virginia Woolf – em especial o romance Mrs. Dalloway, mas também suas cartas e diários. À luz dessas considerações, este trabalho busca focar os processos singulares da “adaptação encoberta” feita por Cunningham em As horas. Isso porque desejamos os interstícios entre teoria da adaptação e teoria literária que possibilitaram trazer, uma vez mais, a escritora modernista Woolf para perto do leitor comum.

O estudo toma como pressuposto teórico-metodológico, sobretudo, a Teoria Comunicativa da Terminologia (CABRÉ, 1999, 2003) e o modelo teórico da variação terminológica de Freixa (2002, 2013), que apresenta seis causas para a variação terminológica. A partir desses pressupostos, o estudo utiliza-se de um corpus com características diversificadas: textos orais produzidos por especialistas com alto grau de especialização, atuando em diferentes contextos comunicativos, como entrevistas televisionadas, palestras e aulas; textos escritos de diferentes gêneros, também elaborados por especialistas, como artigos científicos, apostilas de curso de Agronomia, relatórios técnicos, sites do setor sucroalcooleiro, teses e dissertações. A pesquisa cruza diferentes fatores de variação e tenta apresentar os mais relevantes para a variação terminológica denominativa
Que ‘tipo de parto’ e que tipo de Terminologia? Estudo baseado em corpus do termo ‘parto’ em relatos de mulheres brasileiras
Authors: Fonseca Luciana Carvalho
Published: October 2021

Este é um estudo baseado em corpus do termo ‘parto’ em um corpus de relatos de parto escritos por mulheres brasileiras que tiveram um parto após uma ou mais cesáreas. Os objetivos são: produzir uma lista de termos compostos pelo termo ‘parto’; comparar e discutir os resultados à luz do uso do termo ‘parto cesáreo’ no discurso de especialidade hegemônico e discutir o fazer terminológico e a Terminologia, como veículo para influenciar e/ou transformar a sociedade ao ter por objeto de estudo termos e discursos de especialidade contra-hegemônicos que promovam uma atenção à saúde centrada nas usuárias. O processo terminográfico foi adaptado dos três estágios descritos por Remígio (2014). O produto terminográfico revelou 14 termos compostos por ‘parto’, demonstrando uma diversidade terminológica acerca dos modos de parir da perspectiva das mulheres. Ao final, discute-se como a Terminologia pode representar um veículo para transformar a ciência – e ser transformada por ela – a partir de estudos que se ocupam do uso de termos a partir de sua dimensão ideológica.

Terminology and the evolution of linguistic prejudice: the conceptual domain of ‘Irishness’ in the Historical Thesaurus of English and the Hansard Corpus of British Parliamentary Speeches
Authors: Corbett John Blair
Published: October 2021

This article draws on the Historical Thesaurus of English and related resources, the Mapping Metaphor project and the semantically tagged Hansard Corpus of British Parliamentary Speeches, to consider how the Irish have been imagined and named in Anglophone culture, and how ‘Irishness’, alongside the attributes of other ‘races and nations’, in the terminology of the Mapping Metaphor project, has developed metaphorically over time, with a focus on the association between Irishness and anger and foolishness. The article concludes by illustrating how the names and metaphors of the Irish are contested discursively in a corpus of British Parliamentary speeches. The article serves as a practical introduction to the Historical Thesaurus of English and the Hansard Corpus and how they may be used, in conjunction with related online resources, to explore aspects of English language, discourse and culture.
Explorando o vestuário na literatura em português
Authors: Santos Diana
Published: October 2021

O ponto de partida para o presente artigo foi a observação de que, num corpo de cerca de 800 textos literários em português, a Literateca, havia consideravelmente mais menções ao vestuário nos textos brasileiros do que nos portugueses. Isto levou a uma análise mais fina do campo semântico da roupa, tentando confirmar ou refutar essa tendência, e se confirmada, identificar suas possíveis causas. Algumas tentativas de explicação com base nos campos da antropologia, linguística cultural e estudos literários são alvitradas, e alguns estudos exploratórios são apresentados usando um conjunto mais comparável de obras literárias nas duas variantes do português. O artigo tenta mostrar a vantagem metodológica de efetuar leitura distante, que guia a leitura próxima e que leva a novas fases de análise, assim como a necessidade de investigar muitas diferentes vertentes quando se lida com corpos anotados.
Social capital and acculturation expectations of host population: mediative role of perceived threat
Authors: Rodionov Germogen Ya.
Published: October 2021

Background. Russia ranks fourth in the World in terms of the influx of migrants (of which 12 million currently live within the country). At the same time, the factors accompanying the process of acculturation can be quite different and lead to contradictions and conflicts between the groups. As far as migrants are concerned, the study of mediative role of the perceived threat in formation of acculturation expectation sremains an under researched topic in cross-cultural psychology. Objective. The study is aimed at determining whether the perceived threat from migrants has a mediating effect on the relationship between social capital and the acculturation expectations of the host population towards migrants. Design. The study was carried out in an online format by a questionnaire given to young adults living in Moscow (N = 214). The participants answered the questions that determined the level of trust, ethnic tolerance, perceived threat, and acculturation expectations. Results. The results of the study revealed that the perceived threat (especially the cultural one) turned out to be a mediator of the connection between ethnic tolerance and acculturation expectations of “melting pot” and “exclusion”. In case of connection of the indicators of trust and ethnic tolerance with “segregation”, only the perceived physical threat played a mediating role. The role of ethnic tolerance has been confirmed in the above three acculturation expectations, while trust turned out to be significant only in the “segregated” models. The meditative role of the perceived threat in the relationship between the three indicators of social capital and the acculturation expectation of “multiculturalism” has been completely refuted. Conclusion. The results of the research make it possible to determine the role of the perceived threat in acculturation attitudes and expectations towards migrants. The main limitation of this study is the fact that it took place only in Moscow. In the nearest future, it is planned to compare the results obtained in Russia from Russian-speaking test-groups with the results of other groups in other countries.
“Saving face” — means or goal of communication? Socio-psychological characteristics of face concept
Authors: Vasilyeva Ekaterina D.
Published: October 2021

Background. The concept of “face” appeared in scientific discourse in the middle of the last century and has since been used by researchers in the fields of communication studies, linguistics and psychology. Such a diversified approach to the study of this phenomenon leads to a number of disagreements in the understanding of its main characteristics and functions. The relevance of this review lies in the systematic analysis of face and facework, highlighting it as an independent subject of study and formulating problems for further research. Objective. The purpose of this article is to analyze the relationship between the concepts of “identity”, “self-presentation” and “face”, as well as to identify the main characteristics and features of the process of saving face from the socio-psychological point of view. Methods. Systemic and subjective approaches, comparative analysis method. Results. “Face” is defined as a universal phenomenon of the individual and relational levels that cannot be considered independently of the object and context of communication. In addition, special attention is paid to the consideration of this concept as a component of intercultural communication. New research directions are outlined. Conclusions. For further study of “face”, one needs a more detailed understanding of the factors influencing the face concerns and facework at the individual, situational and cultural levels. In addition, the concept of “face” can be viewed as a component of intercultural communicative competence.
On the role of reduction at the orienting stage of activity in planning disorders in schizophrenia

Published: October 2021

Background. _e present study is devoted to the analysis of the role of shortening in the orienting stage of activity in planning disorders in patients with schizophrenia. _is question, widely discussed in literature, is important and relevant in psychology, since it allows us to study various strategies applied to performing planning tasks in healthy subjects and patients with mental disorders. In the future, the obtained data can be used in the psycho-correction of planning disorders in patients with schizophrenia, as well as to improve the e`ciency of planning in healthy people. Objective. _e aim is to study the strategy for dealing with planning problems in patients with schizophrenia. Sample. Experimental group consisted of 40 patients with paranoid schizophrenia (age: 34.4±8.24 years; illness duration: 7.78±5.47 years). Control group included 40 healthy subjects (age: 32.5±7.28 years). Methods. _e “object” and “visual” versions of the Tower of London test (TOL-DX and TOL-BACS) were used to evaluate planning. TOL-DX provides the test subject with the opportunity to choose how to solve the problem: whether to plan actions in advance (before they are completed), or to build a plan as the tasks are completed. TOL-BACS limits the choice of subjects to planning actions before they are carried out. _e main indicator is the number of tasks solved correctly (optimally) (Alekseev, Rupchev, Katenko, 2012). Psychomotor speed was assessed by Schulte tables. Results. Patients with schizophrenia coped signiacantly worse with the “object” version of the test, but showed a productivity comparable to that of healthy subjects in the “visual” tasks. To analyze the dynamics of changes in the latent time (time to think on the tasks) depending on the number of moves in the “object” version of TOL patients with schizophrenia were divided into a group of patients with planning disorders and a group of patients without planning disorders. _e dynamics of changes in latent time in healthy subjects and patients without planning disorders was similar and was characterized by an increase in latent time with an increase in the number of moves required to solve tasks. At the same time, patients subering from schizophrenia with planning disorders showed approximately the same latent time, regardless of the complexity of tasks. _e amount of latent time in patients with planning disorders was lower than in healthy subjects at the level of statistical trend in tasks with 5 moves and statistically signiacantly lower in tasks with 6 and 7 moves. Conclusion. _e results obtained outline the role of reduction at the orienting stage of activity in planning disorders in patients with schizophrenia.

Guizhou and Yunnan Provinces (Yungui Plateau) in Southwestern China are well known as biodiversity hotspots. We introduce two new species in this study viz., Mucispora hydei (in Fuscosporellaceae, Fuscosporellales, Sordariomycetes) and Tolypocladium cucullae (Ophiocordycipitaceae, Hypocreales, Sordariomycetes) and six new records based on morpho-molecular analyses. Full descriptions, color photographs and phylogenetic trees to indicate the placements of new species are provided.
An overview of plant collecting in Angola from 1690 to 2000
Authors: FIGUEIREDO ESTRELA , SMITH GIDEON F.
Published: October 2021

Angola is a large south-tropical African country with a rich plant diversity of over 7000 species. The vast majority of the plants collected in the country for deposition in preserved collections was obtained while Angola was under Portuguese rule. An historical analysis is presented of plant collecting in the country from the earliest times until the end of the 20th century. We also reflect on connections between biodiversity science and slavery; only recently have these links been acknowledged and receiving attention. The social environment prevalent in Angola at the time of its historical botanical exploration is discussed to enable an improved understanding of connections between scientific endeavour, colonialism, and slavery in the country. Gender- and ethnic group-based aspects are analysed and discussed.

Published: October 2021

This study presents a taxonomic revision of the Pteronia adenocarpa group. Six species are recognised within this group, namely P. adenocarpa, P. armatifolia, P. elongata, P. hutchinsoniana, P. stoehelinoides and P. viscosa. The group is distinct in its characteristic basally hairy cypselae, as opposed to the glabrous-glossy, glandular and/or variously hairy cypselae with the hairs evenly distributed throughout the surface found in the remaining species of the genus. We here present a detailed taxonomic treatment with descriptions, nomenclature, diagnostic characters, geographical distribution and maps, ecological information as well as the key to the species.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) as a Cause of Facial Nerve Stimulation After Cochlear Implantation: A Case Report
Authors: Rath Smruti , Glaun Mica , Emery Claudia , Liu Yi-Chun Carol
Published: October 2021

Objective:

To discuss persistent facial nerve stimulation (FNS) related to repeated electrostatic discharge (ESD) shock following cochlear implantation.

Methods:

Single case report with literature review.

Results:

FNS is a feared complication after cochlear implantation, occurring in approximately 7% of cases, with most patients having anatomic abnormalities. The presented case has no anatomical abnormalities but reported frequent environmental static shock. FNS during the first 1 to 3 seconds of processor attachment caused a significant decrease in the patient’s quality of life, requiring subsequent re-implantation with full resolution.

Conclusions:

FNS is a complication of cochlear implantation that can cause a great deal of distress and discomfort. Frequent electrostatic discharge (ESD) contributed to device malfunctioning and FNS in a patient with otherwise normal anatomy and should be avoided if possible.
The Influence of Depressive Symptoms on Parenting: Examining Longitudinal Dyadic Spillover and Crossover Processes During the Transition to Parenthood
Authors: Fentz Hanne N. , Nygaard Kenneth , Simonsen Marianne , Trillingsgaard Tea
Published: October 2021

Limited research exists on dyadic spillover and crossover processes in parenting when depressive symptoms occur. This study examined both direct actor and partner effects from parents’ prenatal depressive symptoms to parenting 19 months postpartum and effects mediated via the parent’s own depressive symptoms 10 months postpartum. The Actor–Partner Interdependence Mediation Model was applied to a sample of 534 couples participating in a randomized controlled trial of a universal parenting support program. For both parents, direct and mediated actor effects were found from depressive symptoms to own parental stress and attachment at 19 months postpartum. For fathers, but not mothers, direct and mediated actor effects were also seen for own postnatal childcare involvement although in mixed directions. Direct partner effects were not indicated across gender, however mediated partner effects appeared from mothers’ depressive symptoms to fathers’ later parental stress and attachment-related feelings, but not vice versa. Findings highlight the importance of a dyadic approach to examine depressive symptoms and parenting processes during the transition to parenthood .
Comparative analysis of the quantitative parameter method and elasticity color mode method for real-time shear wave elastography in the diagnosis of benign and malignant solid breast lesions
Authors: Xue Shan-Shan , Zhao Qiao-Ling , Ruan Li-Tao , Wang Fei-Qian , Zhou Can , Sheng Wei
Published: October 2021

Objective:

To examine the performance of real-time shear wave elastography (RT-SWE) in routine clinical practice.

Methods:

This was a prospective study of 500 patients. The elasticity color mode method was judged by a four-mode system. The quantitative parameter method was used to measure the modulus of elasticity of the lesions. Pathologic reports were used as a gold standard to comparatively analyze the diagnostic performance of the two methods.

Results:

A total of 553 tumors were detected. The average mode value and the modulus of elasticity (Emax) of the benign breast masses was lower than that of malignant masses ( p < 0.05). With Emax = 67.4 as the diagnostic threshold value, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, negative predictive value, and positive predictive value of the two methods were not statistically significant different ( p > 0.05).

Conclusions:

The shear wave quantitative parameter method and the elasticity color mode method showed similar performances in the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast masses. The elasticity color mode method is convenient and intuitive, whereas the quantitative parameter method can be used to objectively assess the lesions when it is difficult to score the elasticity of an image, but could not be relied on alone.
