Small scale business / Usaha Skala Kecil (USK) X currently does not have a batik wastewater treatment unit. This condition causes the possibility of contamination to water bodies. USK X wastewater treatment applications' planning needs to be carried out sustainably, namely by reusing water. The process units needed in this planning are the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) and constructed wetlands. The effluent of textile wastewater with this system for parameters BOD, COD, TSS, sulfide, total oil & fat, and color were 0.13 mg/L; 106.5 mg/L; 2.4 mg/L; 0.036 mg/L; 0.07 mg/L; and 90.67 PtCo, respectively. The dimensions of the SBR unit required are 0.75 x 0.6 x 1 m. Modification of the SBR unit uses an ozone generator to produce ozone gas which functions as oxidation of organic pollutants and colors in batik waste. After processing in the SBR unit, it is carried out using a constructed wetland with 2.56 m2.

Published: January 2022

Tofu industry X is one of 24 tofu industries in Bandungan, producing wastewater with a high organic matter content of 600 liters per day. The industry does not have a waste treatment plant and is directly discharged into water bodies, leading to environmental pollution. The phytoremediation method uses water hyacinth plants to be inexpensive and efficient. This study aims to see the effectiveness of water hyacinth plants in reducing COD levels in tofu wastewater. The method used quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest control group design. The independent variables were contact time (2 and 4 days) and water hyacinth plant density (2 individuals/m2, 4 individuals/m2, and 6 individuals/m2), for the dependent variable was a decrease in COD levels tofu wastewater. 39 samples were tested and analyzed by the Kruskal Wallis test. The results showed the effectiveness of reducing COD levels by 78.68% (2 days) and 80.15% (4 days) for a density of 2 individuals/m2, 80.56% (2 days) and 86.58% (4 days) for density of 4 individuals/m2, and 83.79% (2 days) and 87.33% (4 days) for a density of 6 individuals/m2. It can be concluded that water hyacinth plants efficiently reduce COD of tofu wastewater but have not been effective in reducing COD to quality standards. There is a significant difference in reducing the COD levels of tofu wastewater using the treatment methods.

Published: January 2022

Amplapura is located in the highlands having a potential area of green open land which can absorb rainwater freely into the ground. However, in recent times, land conversion has begun to develop with new housing buildings, Griya Galiran Regency Housing. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the land area is still able to absorb water and maintain groundwater balance. A rainwater harvesting plan (RH) is needed, or, more popularly, rainwater harvesting. In this area. The aim is to provide a portion of residential land space for rainwater infiltration into the pores or soil cavities using the infiltration well method. The results showed that the Griya Galiran Regency Housing had an acceptable sand soil type and absorbed soil quickly, with a soil permeability coefficient (k) of 0.0014 cm/s. Designing the dimensions of the infiltration well at the Griya Galiran Regency Housing with an area of 70 m2 based on SNI 03-2453-2002 for a circular cross-section, an infiltration well with a diameter of 1.2 m with a depth of 2 m is made. In contrast, as a rectangular cross-section, an infiltration well has a side length of 1 m with a depth of 2 m.

Published: January 2022

Several factors that influence the achievement of the sustainability of an MSS management system are identified. This study aims to determine what aspects of sustainability affect a system's municipal wastewater sludge management to run appropriately using conventional technology. The method used in this research is a comparative approach. The study compares urban domestic wastewater focusing on fecal sludge management (FSM) in Egypt and Indonesia. It is known that the sustainability factor of wastewater management systems includes economic, social, environmental, and technological factors. In Indonesia, institutional, which is also included in the social aspect, becomes the most significant limitation to implement the appropriate FSM. The best technology chosen for Egypt is anaerobic digestion, while in Indonesia, the right technology chosen is sludge drying bed (SDB) and also the combination of solid separation chamber (SSC) with draining area (DA). From an economic point of view, the 2 sub-factors that influence the sustainability system are investment cost and operation and maintenance cost. Regarding socio-culture, the awareness and participation of the community and the private sector needs to be increased to achieve the sustainability of sludge management services in both countries

Root Causes and the Socio-Economic Impact of the Ongoing War Between the Tplf and the Federal Government of Ethiopia (2 November 2020 – 15 October 2021)
Authors: Abdulkadr Ahmed Abduletif , Neszmélyi György Iván
Published: January 2022

Abiy Ahmed, the current premier and Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2019, is the third prime minister to lead Ethiopia since the overthrow of Derg. Although he had high approval ratings at the beginning of his administration across the coun- try including Tigray, the premier has lost the trust of the TPLF, and most of its leaders have left the capital Addis to settle in Mekelle. This situation increased tension between TPLF and the federal government, which resulted in the ongoing war. This research aims at identifying the main causes of the ongoing conflict in Ethiopia and its socio-economic consequences, utilizing informal methods of data collection and phone interviews. In addition, observations, assessment, and infor- mal communications with members of the Ethiopian and Tigray defence forces were also included in the data collection. The root cause of this war was a matter of gaining power in the federal government. As a consequence of this conflict, peo- ple in the Tigray region and some parts of the Afar and Amhara regions have been suffering for several months. Hundreds of thousands of people displaced from western Tigray to Sudan and central Tigray and war zones in Afar and Amhara are currently searching for safety. The people of Tigray have not had electricity, banking services, and internet access for many months. In the past two months, some parts of the Amhara and Afar regions have also been similarly affected. The economy of the country has been impacted in many sectors including tourism. The military tanks, cars, and aircraft that were destroyed in the war were resources for the country. Most importantly, the country is losing its work force while fighting in the war with many fatalities. The war has also had a psychological impact on community due to rapes and robberies. The other key finding is that most of the people are rather spending their time with arguing on who is responsible for the current war instead of focusing on the development of the economy. In conclu- sion, this war broke out due to a few politicians seeking power, which negatively impacted the livelihood of Ethiopian citizens and country’s economy. As there is nothing more important than peace for the country and its people, it is recom- mended that politicians should sit down to work out their differences.
Disciplining the Notion of "Labour Rights as Human Rights"
Authors: Dawkins Cedric , Dawkins Christina
Published: January 2022

Beleaguered labour movement advocates are turning to the “labour rights as human rights” framing to address labour issues that have traditionally been tackled by labour unions. Human rights language is indispensable in making the normative case that labour is not a commodity, but an unstructured adoption of the human rights frame poses the spectre of a diminished role for collective labour rights and an overburdened human rights regime. Under the principle of subsidiarity, the notion of human rights substitutes for core labour rights (i.e., freedom of association) where they are absent and reinforces them when they are present. Beyond simply suggesting that both regimes are used to protect labour rights, we propose using the principle of subsidiarity to structure and reinforce the interdependence of human and labour rights.

Published: January 2022

Syzygium is the largest woody genus of flowering plants in the world and one of the most important components of the forest vegetation in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Although the systematics of the genus is improving, a comprehensive appraisal of the environmental features and gradients of its species is still lacking. Our work aims to fill this gap by analyzing the georeferenced specimens collected at the Lae National Herbarium of PNG. A data set of 1,563 records of 131 species was used to assess their altitudinal gradients and the correspondence with the main vegetation types and to model their spatial ecological niche with respect to climatic, topographical, and pedological variables. Several species were found to be widely distributed throughout the region, while other species were restricted to narrow altitudinal belts or only occurred in specific vegetation types. Overall, the genus is also characterized by an increasing altitudinal turnover likely due to topography-driven isolation. The improved knowledge of the ecological requirements of Syzygium assists in the elaboration of effective conservation strategies and improves in situ species identification of this taxonomically difficult group.

The intestine and the microbiota in maternal glucose homeostasis during pregnancy
Authors: Yeo Erica , Brubaker Patricia L , Sloboda Deborah M
Published: January 2022

It is now well established that, beyond its role in nutrient processing and absorption, the intestine and its accompanying gut microbiome constitute a major site of immunological and endocrine regulation that mediates whole-body metabolism. Despite the growing field of host-microbe research, few studies explore what mechanisms govern this relationship in the context of pregnancy. During pregnancy, significant maternal metabolic adaptations are made to accommodate the additional energy demands of the developing fetus and to prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes. Recent data suggest that the maternal gut microbiota may play a role in these adaptations, but changes to maternal gut physiology and the underlying intestinal mechanisms remain unclear. In this review, we discuss selective aspects of intestinal physiology including the role of the incretin hormone, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), and the role of the maternal gut microbiome in the maternal metabolic adaptations to pregnancy. Specifically, we discuss how bacterial components and metabolites could mediate the effects of the microbiota on host physiology, including nutrient absorption and GLP-1 secretion and action, and whether these mechanisms may change maternal insulin sensitivity and secretion during pregnancy. Finally, we discuss how these pathways could be altered in disease states during pregnancy including maternal obesity and diabetes.

Female anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) overexpressing (Thy1.2-AMHTg/0) mice experience fetal resorption (miscarriage) by mid-gestation. This study examined whether the ovary, uterine implantation sites and hypothalamus are potential sites of AMH action, as AMH type-2 receptor (AMHR2) expression is reported in each tissue. Pregnancy in Thy1.2-AMHTg/0 mice was compared to wild-type (WT) mice via histological examination of implantation sites, hormone assays, embryo culture and embryo transfer. Uterine AMH and AMHR2 expression was examined by RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry. The first signs of fetal resorption in the Thy1.2-AMHTg/0 dams occurred at embryonic day 9.5 (E9.5) with 100% of fetuses resorbing by E13.5. Cultured embryos from Thy1.2-AMHTg/0 dams had largely normal developmental rates but a small proportion experienced a minor developmental delay relative to embryos from WT dams. However, embryos transferred from WT donor females always failed to survive to term when transferred into Thy1.2-AMHTg/0 dams. Amh and Amhr2 mRNA was detected in the gravid uterus but at very low levels relative to expression in the ovaries. Progesterone and estradiol levels were not significantly different between WT and Thy1.2-AMHTg/0 dams during pregnancy but luteinizing hormone (LH) levels were significantly elevated in Thy1.2-AMHTg/0 dams at E9.5 and E13.5 relative to WT dams. Collectively, these experiments suggest that AMH overexpression does not cause fetal resorption through an effect on oocytes or preimplantation embryo development. The Thy1.2-AMHTg/0 fetal resorption phenotype is nearly identical to that of transgenic LH overexpression models, suggesting that neuroendocrine mechanisms may be involved in the cause of the miscarriage.
Differences in Educational Expectations between Urban and Rural Junior High School Students: Individual, Family, and Social Structures
Authors: Li Fuli , Hou Yuna
Published: January 2022

This paper studies the current differences in educational expectations between urban and rural students and explores the mechanism from the individual/family and school/society perspectives. The results show significant differences in expectations between rural and urban junior high school students for going on to higher education. In addition, urban students’ educational expectations are higher than that of rural and migrant students. These differences are caused by the students’ cognitive ability, family background, and school environment, among which the influence of family background is larger than that of cognitive ability, while the effect of the school’s hukou structure is the most important influencing factor. The results suggest that building a desirable school education atmosphere, alleviating hukou segregation in schools, and strengthening the integration of widely diverse school populations are important approaches to promoting educational and social equity in China.

Published: January 2022

Background. Anal fistula is often considered to be a dilemma because of the need to maintain a fine balance between postoperative incontinence and recurrence. We tried to find whether apprehension of causing incontinence should stop us from performing fistulectomy. The aim of this study was to determine whether fistulectomy was associated with increased rate of fecal incontinence and recurrence, compared to other procedures used for the treatment of anal fistula.

Methods. It was a prospective, single center, observational study. All patients with anal fistula operated at a tertiary care teaching institute over a period of two years were included in the study. Recurrence rates and fecal incontinence were compared between patients subjected to fistulectomy and other procedures for treatment of fistula in ano.

Results. A total of 124 patients with anal fistula were included. 92.8% patients were ≤ 60 years of age with high male preponderance (89.5%). Perineal discharge was the commonest complaint (95.96%). Intersphincteric (47.58%) followed by transphincteric fistulas (45.16%) accounted for the majority of fistulas. Fistulectomy was the most common procedure, performed in 90 (72.58%) patients. Incontinence occurred in 8/90 (8.88%) from the fistulectomy group and 2/34 (5.9%) patients in other surgery group, p=0.726. Recurrence occurred in 8/90 (8.88%) from the fistulectomy group and 8/34 (23.5%) patients from other surgery group, p=0.038. Overall rates of incontinence and recurrence were 8.1% and 12.9% respectively.

Conclusion. Fistulectomy, as compared to other procedures, results in less chances of recurrence without compromising continence.

Published: January 2022

For the first time, the impact of TiO2 (anatase modification) nanocrystals on the photoinduced optical absorption and refractive index variations in KDP single crystals with the self-action of CW laser radiation at 532 and 1064 nm is studied. It is shown that the incorporation of anatase nanoparticles changes the sign of the refractive nonlinear optical response relatively to that for the KDP crystal matrix at 532 nm due to the resonance overlapping of the energy states of intrinsic defects in the crystal matrix and the surface states of TiO2 nanoparticles. The sign and the magnitude of the photoinduced variations depend on the concentration of incorporated nanoparticles, crystal growth sector, and irradiation wavelength.

Published: January 2022

A deviation loop is plotted in the harmonic approximation of molecular vibrations. The loop acts as a sensitive indicator reacting to the initial deformation of a water molecule due to the displacement of H atom from its equilibrium position. The deformation of the molecule leads to a displacement of the secondhydrogen atom. The dependence of the corresponding Lagrangian on the orientation of the coordination plane has been determined.

Published: January 2022

CONTEXT

Culturally sensitive interventions in the pediatric primary care setting may help reduce health disparities. Less is known on the development of these interventions, their target groups, and their feasibility, acceptability, and impact on health outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

We conducted a systematic review to describe culturally sensitive interventions developed for the pediatric primary care setting.

DATA SOURCES

PubMed, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and PsycInfo (January 2000 to July 2020).

STUDY SELECTION

Studies were eligible for inclusion if they were (1) original research on an intervention with an evaluation, (2) within a pediatric primary care setting, (3) not limited to education for providers, (4) not limited to interpreter use, and (5) based in the United States.

DATA EXTRACTION

The following were extracted: study topic, study design, intervention, cultural sensitivity strategies and terminology, setting, target group, sample size, feasibility, acceptability, and health outcomes.

RESULTS

Twenty-five studies described 23 interventions targeting a variety of health topics. Multiple cultural sensitivity strategies were used, most commonly sociocultural (83%). Most interventions (57%) were focused on Hispanic/Latino families. Interventions were generally reported as being feasible and acceptable; some also changed health outcomes.

LIMITATIONS

Small samples and heterogenous methods subject to bias were used. Relevant articles may have been missed because of the variety of terms used to describe cultural sensitivity.

CONCLUSIONS

The included articles provide preliminary evidence that culturally sensitive interventions can be feasible and effective and may help eliminate disparities for patients from communities with barriers to equitable care.

Se encontró que los niveles de estrés percibido son medios, con una media de M=25.74 y un 84.4% de integrantes la muestra se encuentra entre los niveles medios y altos. Aunado a ello no existen diferencias significativas de estrés percibido entre los departamentos. Los resultados basados en análisis de regresión múltiple indicaron que variables como el género, la edad, si reside con adultos mayores que requieren de su cuidado y la adaptación a la modalidad virtual son predictoras en la prevalencia del estrés percibido.
The historical development of the suffix -en in English
Authors: van de Weijer Jeroen , Gao Hua
Published: January 2022

This paper investigates the historical development during the past three centuries of the English suffix -en, used to create denominal adjectives (e.g. golden, silken), focusing on words that have remained in the language until the present day. We specify a way of calculating the rate of loss of the suffix and apply this to different lexical items involved in this process. Finally, we explore the roles of word frequency and collocations, in order to shed some light on how these factors relate to the loss of a linguistic form.

Authors: Bognár József , Kiss Zoltán , Déri Diána , Csáki István
Published: January 2022

Összefoglaló. Vizsgálatunk célja, hogy összehasonlítsa az edzők, a
sportolók és a szülők nézeteit és tapasztalatait arra vonatkozóan, hogy az edzők
mennyire foglalkoznak a fiatal játékosok sporttevékenységen kívüli
életvitelével. A vizsgálatot egy magyar kiemelt labdarúgó akadémián végeztük el,
a zárt végű kérdőívet edzők (n = 18), utánpótlás korú
labdarúgók (n = 87) és szüleik (n = 80)
töltötték ki. Az egészséges életmód, az edzők nevelői attitűdje és az iskolai
oktatáshoz kapcsolódó terület tekintetében bizonyos hasonlóság mellett különbség
is mutatkozott az alminták között, hasonlóan, a különböző korosztályt képviselő
labdarúgók között is. Fontos az edzők azon ismerete és tevékenysége, mely a
játékosok sportoláson kívüli életére vonatkozik, mivel ez fejlesztheti az
együttműködést és kommunikációt a szülőkkel és a játékosokkal is, így jótékony
hatású a közösségre és a teljesítményre is.

Summary. The aim of our study is to compare the views and
experiences of coaches, athletes and parents about the extent to which coaches
deal with young players’ non-sporting lifestyles. The study was carried out in a
Hungarian elite soccer academy, closed-ended questions were answered by coaches
(n = 18), young soccer players (n = 87)
and their parents (n = 80). In addition to some similarities in
terms of healthy living, educational attitudes of coaches, and the area related
to school education, there were also differences between the subsamples, as well
as between soccer players of different ages. The knowledge and activity of
coaches regarding the non-sporting lives of players is important as it can
improve collaboration and communication with parents and players as well, thus
benefiting the community and performance as well.
Az OECD oktatási indikátorai
Authors: Varga Júlia
Published: January 2022

Összefoglaló. A tanulmány az OECD oktatási indikátorrendszerének
történetét foglalja össze. Az indikátorrendszer példáján keresztül azt mutatja
be, hogy abban, hogy az OECD az oktatáspolitikában kulcsszereplővé tudott válni
három momentum meghatározó jelentőségű volt: az első, hogy az OECD folyamatosan
integrálni tudta az oktatással kapcsolatos munkájába az újabb és újabb
tudományos kutatási eredményeket, elsősorban az oktatásgazdaságtani kutatások
eredményeit. A második, az oktatási adatok szisztematikus, kutatási eredményeken
alapuló gyűjtése, és az adatgyűjtések és azok nemzetközi
összehasonlíthatóságának folyamatos fejlesztése volt, melynek nyomán az OECD egy
nagy nemzetközi, összehasonlítható oktatásstatisztikai adatbázist tudott
létrehozni. A harmadik, hogy az OECD az oktatási adatait folyamatosan,
ingyenesen hozzáférhetővé tette, azokat bárki ingyen letöltheti, és
felhasználhatja saját kutatásaihoz.

Summary. The study gives a summary of the history of the OECD
education indicator system. Through the example of the indicator system, it
presents that three moments were crucial in the OECD becoming a key player in
education policy. First, that the OECD was able to continuously integrate the
new scientific results, especially findings of educational economics research,
into its education work. The second was the systematic collection of education
data based on research results and the continuous improvement of the
international comparability of data which enabled the OECD to create a large
international, comparable database of education statistics. The third is that
the OECD has made its education data available continuously, free of charge so
that anyone can download it for free and use it for their own research.

RESUMO - RACIONAL: A doença hepática gordurosa não-alcoólica já é considerada um problema de saúde pública, principalmente em pacientes com obesidade severa. OBJETIVOS: O objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar os diferentes escores de bioquímiosa disponíveis e determinar qual deles poderia servir melhor como uma ferramenta de avaliação da NAFLD em uma população de obesos. MÉTODOS: Este é um estudo transversal de pacientes obesos. Todos os pacientes foram avaliados com parâmetros laboratoriais séricos 1 semana antes da biópsia e todos os pacientes foram submetidos a biópsia hepática intra-operatória, durante a cirurgia bariátrica. RESULTADOS: Cento e quarenta e três pacientes obesos foram incluídos. Apenas APRI (0,65; IC 95%: 0,55 a 0,8) e HOMA-IR (0,7; IC 95%: 0,58 a 0,82) mostraram capacidade significativa de predição de esteatose grave. HSI, NALFDS, ALS / AST e FIB-4 não foram capazes de prever corretamente esteatose grave na biópsia hepática. APRI mostrou alta especificidade (82%) e baixa sensibilidade (54%). Em contraste, o HOMA-IR apresentou alta sensibilidade (84%) e baixa especificidade (48%). CONCLUSÃO: O NALFDS, FIB-4, AST / ALT e HSI não têm utilidade para avaliação de esteatose grave em pacientes com obesidade severa. Diabetes e avaliação bioquímica relacionada à resistência à insulina, como o HOMA-IR, podem ser empregados como boas ferramentas de rastreamento para esteatose grave em tais pacientes. O escore APRI é a ferramenta diagnóstica bioquímica mais específica para esteatose em pacientes com obesidade severa e pode ser empregado, por equipes médicas, para auxiliar na indicação de cirurgia bariátrica ou metabólica.

RESUMO -RACIONAL: O adenocarcinoma ductal do pâncreas é a quarta causa de morte associada ao câncer mais comum no mundo ocidental. A presença de células tumorais circulantes (CTCs) pode ser considerada um potencial fator prognóstico, visto que essas células representam a progressão tumoral, permitindo o monitoramento da eficácia terapêutica. OBJETIVOS: explorar as características morfológicas, moleculares e fenotípicas das células tumorais circulantes (CTCs) do sangue de pacientes com carcinoma pancreático e correlacionar os achados com a resposta ao tratamento, sobrevida livre de progressão, sobrevida global (SG) e trombose venosa profunda (TVP). MÉTODOS: o sangue periférico (10mL) foi analisado antes do início do tratamento e após 60 e 120 dias. As CTCs foram detectadas pelo ISET® e caracterizadas por imunocitoquímica. Para análise de miRNAs, leucócitos periféricos dos mesmos pacientes e indivíduos saudáveis foram coletados em paralelo no início do estudo. A expressão de miRNAs foi avaliada usando TaqMan T Array Human MicroRNA Cards v2.0. RESULTADOS: foram incluídos 9 pacientes. As proteínas MMP2 e TGFß-RI foram altamente expressas (77,7%) nas CTCs no início do estudo. No primeiro acompanhamento, MMP2 era predominante (80%) e no segundo acompanhamento, MMP2 e vimentina eram predominantes (50%). Microêmbolos tumorais circulantes (MTC) foram encontrados em dois pacientes e ambos apresentavam TVP. O miR-203a-3p foi altamente expresso em CTCs. miR-203a-3p está envolvido na estimulação da transição epitelio-mesenquima (TEM) e relacionado a pior SG no câncer pancreático (dados TCGA). CONCLUSÃO: Devido ao baixo número de pacientes e curto seguimento, não observamos correlação entre CTCs e resposta ao tratamento. No entanto, houve uma correlação entre MTC e TVP. Além disso, miR-203a-3p foi altamente expresso em CTCs, corroborando os achados de proteínas EMT. Este estudo abre perspectivas sobre a mudança dinâmica no padrão de proteínas expressas ao longo do tratamento e a utilização de miRNAs como novos alvos no carcinoma pancreático.

RESUMO - RACIONAL: A cirurgia de resgate é definida como a ressecção cirúrgica após falha de primeiro tratamento com intuito curativo. OBJETIVO: Relatar a experiência de um centro de referência no tratamento do câncer gástrico com a cirurgia de resgate para o adenocarcinoma de estômago. MÉTODOS: Análise retrospectiva dos pacientes com câncer gástrico operados entre 2009 e 2020. RESULTADOS: 40 pacientes foram submetidos à tentativa de gastrectomia de resgate com intuito curativo. Para análise, foram divididos em dois grupos: 23 pacientes após ressecção endoscópica e 17 após gastrectomia. No primeiro grupo, todos tiveram ressecção com margens livres, a média de internação foi 15,7 dias e 2 (8,6%) tiveram complicações maiores. No seguimento médio de 37,2 meses, houve apenas 1 recidiva. A sobrevida global média foi 46 meses. No grupo pós-gastrectomia 9 (52,9%) foram resgatados com intenção curativa, a média de internação foi 12,2 dias e 3 (17,6%) apresentaram complicações maiores. No seguimento médio de 22 meses, 5 recidivaram. A sobrevida global média e a sobrevida livre de doença foram respectivamente: 24 e 16,5 meses. CONCLUSÃO: A cirurgia de resgate no câncer gástrico oferece nova possibilidade de controle da doença a longo prazo e/ou aumento de sobrevida, tendo taxa de complicações aceitáveis.

RESUMO - RACIONAL: Os afastadores clássicos de cirurgia laparoscópica são geralmente rígidos, necessitando de uma incisão adicional para sua instalação ou de um auxiliar para manuseio durante o ato cirúrgico e ainda, podem envolvem risco de injúria hepática. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar e validar uma técnica de exposição da junção esofagogástrica obtida pelo afastador flexível de fígado em cirurgia bariátrica comparando sua eficácia com a de afastador classicamente utilizado para este fim. MÉTODOS: Tratou-se de um estudo prospectivo, aberto, controlado e comparativo em pacientes com indicação de cirurgia, distribuídos de forma randomizada em dois grupos: clássico (controle) e afastador flexível (teste). RESULTADOS: Foram incluídos 100 pacientes (n=50 grupo controle, n=50 grupo teste), sem diferença estatística na distribuição por idade e por morbidades, havendo diferença estatística somente no gênero (grupo controle obteve proporção maior de homens, p=0,020). Em relação ao tempo médio de realização das operações, não foi constatada diferença estatística. No quesito visibilidade, verificou-se que 100% dos pacientes do grupo afastador flexível obteve nível de visibilidade ótima, porém sem significância estatística com relação ao grupo clássico (94%). Invariavelmente, foi necessário um portal a mais de trocarte quando do uso do afastador clássico. CONCLUSÃO: O afastador flexível de fígado demonstrou-se seguro, eficaz, ergonômico, de baixo custo, de perfil estético satisfatório, não requerendo instrumental específico para uso ou nova curva de adaptação e aprendizado para manuseio.

RESUMO - RACIONAL: Disfunção do esfíncter esofágico inferior (EEI), doença do refluxo gastroesofágico e esofagite erosiva em pacientes submetidos à gastrectomia subtotal são ocorrências comumente reconhecidas, mas até agora as causas permanecem obscuras. OBJETIVO: A hipótese deste estudo é que a gastrectomia subtotal provoque alterações na pressão de repouso do EEI e na sua competência, devido ao dano anatômico desta, visto que as fibras oblíquas “Sling”, um dos componentes musculares do EEI, são seccionadas durante este procedimento cirúrgico. MÉTODOS: Sete cães adultos sem raça definida (18-30 kg) foram anestesiados e submetidos à transecção do estômago proximal. Em seguida, o remanescente gástrico proximal foi fechado por sutura. No intraoperatório, manometria lenta foi realizada em cada cão, em condições basais (com estômago intacto) e no remanescente gástrico proximal fechado. A média dessas medidas é apresentada, com cada cão servindo como seu próprio controle. RESULTADOS: A pressão média do EEI medida no remanescente gástrico proximal, em comparação com a pressão do EEI no estômago intacto, foi diminuída em cinco cães, aumentada em um cão e sem alterações no outro cão. CONCLUSÃO: A secção transversa superior do estômago e o fechamento do remanescente do estômago por sutura provocam alterações na pressão do EEI. Sugerimos que essas mudanças na pressão do EEI são secundárias à secção das fibras oblíquas “Sling” do esfíncter, um de seus componentes musculares. A sutura e o fechamento do remanescente gástrico proximal, reancora essas fibras com mais, menos ou a mesma tensão, modificando ou não a pressão do EEI.

RESUMO - RACIONAL: Apesar do avanço nas terapias, o prognóstico de pacientes com câncer gástrico (CG) avançado permanece ruim. Vários estudos demonstraram a expressão do receptor de estrogênio alfa (REa), porém seu significado no CG permanece controverso. OBJETIVO: relatar uma série de casos de CG com expressão de REa-positivo, e descrever suas características clínicopatológicas e prognóstico. MÉTODOS: Avaliamos retrospectivamente os pacientes com CG submetidos à gastrectomia com intenção curativa entre 2009 e 2019. A expressão do REa foi avaliada por imuno-histoquímica por meio da construção de microarranjos de tecido (TMA). Pacientes com adenocarcinoma gástrico ERa-negativos serviram como grupo comparação. RESULTADOS: No período selecionado, foram identificados 6 (1,8%) CG REa-positivos entre os 345 CG analisados. Todos os ERa-positivos eram homens, com idades entre 34-78 anos, tinham CG do tipo difuso de Lauren e pN+. Comparado aos REa-negativos, os CG REa-positivos associaram-se a maior diâmetro (p=0,031), gastrectomia total (p=0,012), tipo de Lauren difuso/misto (p=0,012), presença de invasão perineural (p=0,030) e metástase linfonodal (p=0,215). O estágio final foi o IIA em um caso; IIIA em três e IIIB em dois casos. Entre os 6 pacientes REa -positivos, 3 tiveram recorrência da doença (peritoneal) e morreram. Não houve diferença significativa na sobrevida entre os grupos REa-positivo e negativo. CONCLUSÃO: A expressão do REa é menos comum no CG, estando associada à histologia difusa e presença de metástases linfonodal, podendo servir como um marcador relacionado à progressão tumoral e pior prognóstico. Além disso, uma alta taxa de recorrência peritoneal foi observada em pacientes ERa-positivos.
