Hiperspektral Görüntü Sınıflandırma için Hibrit Evrişimsel Sinir Ağı ve Sıkma- Uyarma Bloğu Yöntemi
Authors: NERGİZ Mehmet
Published: March 2023

Yüksek spektral çözünürlüğe sahip bir tür optik uzaktan algılama görüntüsü olarak, hiperspektral görüntüler, zengin spektral özellik bilgisine sahip 3 boyutlu görüntü küpleridir. Şu anda hiperspektral görüntü sınıflandırması, uzaktan algılama alanındaki en aktif araştırma alanlarından biridir. Son yıllarda bu alanda derin öğrenme ve özellikle evrişimsel sinir ağları (ESA) sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında, hiperspektal görüntü sınıflandırması için yeni bir model geliştirilmiştir. Önerilen model, 3B ESA, Sıkma-uyarma bloğu ve 2B Derinlemesine ayrılabilir evrişimden (DAE) oluşmaktadır. 2B ESA ile spektral özellik bilgileri elde edilemediğinden dolayı, hem spektral hem de uzamsal özellikleri elde etmek için 3B ESA kullanılmıştır. Sadece 3B ESA kullanımı hesaplama karmaşıklığını arttırmaktadır. Hibrit ESA kullanımı bu sorunu çözmektedir. Hibrit ESA’larda daha fazla uzamsal özellik çıkarabilmek için 3B ESA’dan sonra 2B ESA kullanılmaktadır. Ancak bu çalışma kapsamında, 2B ESA yerine 2B DAE kullanımı tercih edilmiştir. Standart 2B ESA yerine 2B DAE kullanımı ile eğitilebilir parametre sayısı ve hesaplama maliyeti azaltılmıştır. Bu, sınıflandırma performansını arttırmıştır. Ayrıca, özellik çıkarma ve hiperspektral görüntü sınıflandırmasındaki performansı arttırmak için Hibirt ESA modeli bir sıkma-uyarma bloğu ile birleştirilmiştir. Önerilen yöntemin sınıflandırma performansını test etmek için HyRank-Loukia ve Houston 2013 verisetleri kullanılmıştır. %10 eğitim örneği alınarak gerçekleştirilen uygulamalar sonucunda sırasıyla %90.86 ve %99.39 genel doğruluk değeri elde edilmiştir. Ayrıca, önerilen yöntem literatürden yedi farklı yöntem ile karşılaştırılmış ve önerilen yöntemin daha iyi sonuç verdiği görülmüştür.

Dental manifestations of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia: a clinical case
Authors: Emelyanova N.Yu.
Published: March 2023

A rare disorder that changes the blood vessels of many organs and causes bleeding. The disease affects the lungs, liver, central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, skin and mucous membranes. The degree of incidence of Randu-Weber-Osler disease is not high and ranges from 1 detected case per 50 thousand – per 100 thousand population. The scientific article presents a clinical case with dental manifestations of Randu-Weber-Osler disease and indicates the important role of the dentist in monitoring such patients. The red border of the lips is dry, pale, with pronounced multiple punctate telangiectasias of red-violet color. In the area of the lower lip, brightly colored round nodules with a diameter of about 5 mm are found, protruding above the surface, painless on palpation. On the dorsal and lateral surfaces, there are papular formations of a red-violet color, with a diameter of 5 to 7 mm, protruding above the surface. The gums are hyperemic, edematous, loose, bleeds on probing, periodontal pockets with exudative contents. On examination, attention was drawn to an insufficient amount of saliva, which was located mainly in the retromolar region; it was frothy. The salivation rate is reduced (0.1 ml per minute). It is assumed that before and during invasive dental procedures, antibiotic therapy is necessary, especially when working in infected areas (500 mg of amoxicillin) every 8 hours starting 12 hours before the procedure for 7 days. Given that hypoxia and cerebral embolism are frequent complications, the dental chair should be in an upright position throughout the patient's appointment. Treatment of this disorder is only supportive in nature, its goals are to relieve symptoms, treat complications and prevent progression of the disease. Early definition of the manifestations of this disease and careful observation of the patient gives a favorable prognosis of the course and prevents the development of severe complications.

Keywords: hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, periodontitis, xerostomia.
Villalobos, César. Arqueología en circulación: nacionalismo y turismo en monedas, billetes, timbres postales y guías de turistas en el México postrevolucionario
Authors: González-Robles Víctor
Published: March 2023

Este año se conmemora el quinto centenario de la conquista española sobre México-Tenochtitlán. Entre otros eventos académicos, la Lotería Nacional (LOTENAL) emitirá —de enero a diciembre— una serie de 32 billetes con fotografías de las principales zonas arqueológicas del país (uno por cada entidad federativa). Con esta iniciativa, se busca recordar la grandeza de los antiguos habitantes del país y, al mismo tiempo, reactivar el turismo interno después del duro golpe que supuso la pandemia para dicho sector. Por inocentes que parezcan, estos “cachitos” del pasado son vehículos de potentes mensajes en los que se discuten las identidades, intereses y necesidades del presente. El libro de César Villalobos ofrece un diagnóstico histórico para contextualizar este tipo de manifestaciones iconográficas, que no han cesado de aparecer —por lo menos— desde la consumación de la independencia.
In Memoriam: Marshall Sahlins, 1930-2021
Authors: Garma Navarro Carlos
Published: March 2023

Marshall Sahlins (Chicago, 27 de diciembre de 1930; Londres, 5 de abril de 2021) fue uno de los antropólogos más influyentes y destacados de su generación, marcando la ruta de la disciplina de forma notable. Incursionó en varios campos como la antropología económica, la antropología simbólica, la teoría de la cultura y la influencia de los procesos históricos en la vida social de las colectividades humanas. Una parte importante de sus obras fueron traducidas al castellano, entre las que destacan Las Sociedades Tribales (Editorial Labor, 1972), Economía de la Edad de Piedra (Akal, 1983), Islas de la Historia (Gedisa, 1987), Cultura y Razón Práctica (Gedisa,1988), Uso y abuso de la biología: critica antropológica de la sociobiología (Siglo XXI, 1990 ) y La Ilusión Occidental de la naturaleza humana (Fondo de Cultura, Económica, 2011). Su obra tuvo gran influencia en los antropólogos latinoamericanos. Por estos motivos reproducimos aquí una reseña que elaboró el antropólogo Carlos Garma, quien actualmente ejerce como profesor investigador de la Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, sobre el libro Historical Methapors and Mythical Realities (que posteriormente sería reelaborado como Islas de la Historia). Esta reseña fue publicada originalmente en Cuicuilco, revista de la Escuela Nacional de Antropología e Historia, núm. 17, 1986.
Usos del pasado, relatos épicos y construcción de alteridades amenazantes en América Latina en tiempos de pandemia.
Authors: Manero Edgardo Alberto , Reali Maria Laura
Published: March 2023

La pandemia del COVID-19 presenta, en América Latina, una especificidad dada por la dimensión que tomó el discurso nacionalista, la épica militar y el recurso a la historia, tanto en la esfera gubernamental como a nivel de la sociedad civil y del mercado. Esta narrativa busca reforzar la concordia interna frente a la crisis. Sin embargo, al movilizar un pasado conflictivo y reactualizar estereotipos y dicotomías fundacionales, fortalece alteridades amenazantes y genera nuevos clivajes sociales al interior de los Estados, afectando también sus relaciones con otros países de la región. Esta problemática es considerada desde una perspectiva histórica, articulando diversas escalas espaciales, de lo local a lo global.

Authors: Nthanda Jacqueline Kakhobwe , Kiilu Tommy , Githiora Barnabas
Published: March 2023

This study examines how female listeners of a phone-in radio programme called Zokonda Amayi respond to the content of the phone-in radio programme’s HIV and AIDS awareness messages.  The interrogation centered on female listeners residing in the grassroots locations of Lilongwe District in Malawi, central Africa. Zokonda Amayi phone-in radio programme is a weekly show which airs on Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC), the national broadcasting station.  Many women in Malawi are disproportionately affected by AIDS.  A mixed approach model was used to shed light on the applicability of phone-in radio programmes in hosting HIV and AIDS broad-mindedness in rural Malawian ladies.  Data was gathered in a standardized manner making use of questionnaires, interviews and focus group discussions on the research subjects.  Results highlight the high appreciation that the targeted listeners have for the content of the phone-in radio programme, a demonstration of how much they have benefitted and are continuing to profit from framing of HIV and AIDS awareness messages on the phone-in radio programme.  It is recommended that the producers of Zokonda Amayi phone-in radio programme should continue to invite health experts to the phone-in radio programme to be regularly talking about technical health related issues, for instance, how discordant couples can safely conceive if they wish to have a child or another child and other pertinent health issues

In Sicily over 30.000 people live with chronic C virus hepatitis (HCV). Despite the fact that Direct Antiviral Drugs (DAAs) achieve 95% SVR, there are still many patients who are lost to follow-up (LTFU) and there is a need to characterize them to develop measures or programs to link them back to care. The Sicily Region has activated a Network for the management of HCV infection through a web-oriented model (RESIST-HCV). This is a retrospective cohort study implemented through the regional HCV database. The primary objective is to assess the number/proportion of diagnosed chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients who are not linked to care. The secondary objective is to assess the characteristics of the CHC patients who are not linked to care at last documented visit. Our METHODS: study evaluated retrospectively the demographic and virologic characteristics, the stage of liver disease and the co-morbidities of the patients with a diagnosis of CHC that are included in the RESIST-HCV and did not received treatment with DAAs during the study period March 2015- November 2020. Lack of linkage to care was dened as no follow-up visits 12 months or longer following CHC diagnosis. Among RESULTS: 19.825 patients included in RESIST-HCV from March 2015 to November 2020, 15.201 (76,7%) already received therapy, while 2.311 (11,7%) had not yet received therapy and were lost to follow-up. Patients LTFU were more frequently male (60.6%), more than 70 years old (45%%) and infected with genotypes 1b (51,3%). Cirrhosis was diagnosed in 30% of patients, over 55% had a chronic hepatitis. Diabetes and arterial hypertension were present in 15,4% and 24,6% respectively. we suggest to plan a more a CONCLUSIONS: ctive and close follow-up for monitoring patients with the characteristics founded in our study

Villages are the backbone of our country. According to 2011 census rural population of India is 83.3 crores. 68.84 % of them are living in rural areas. (Census of India 2011). Since the population of rural area is lesser when compared to urban areas there is high degree of relationship, harmony among the people in rural areas. Majority of the rural people are highly dependent on agriculture for their livelihood, and that is the reason why agriculture plays pivotal role in measuring the rural economy. Rural people have strong bond with the nature, and they (rural people) play crucial role in uplifting the values existing in family. The focus of rural development on the social changes occurring in rural society is vast. The changes occurring in economic, social, cultural, religious and political elds plays signicant role in understanding the society. We can term rural development as multifaceted. Majority of rural people rely on agriculture, hence we can come to a opinion that agriculture plays pivotal role in inuencing the economic situations of rural places. In rural place if people develop a attitude of mutual co-operation, brotherhood, communal harmony and urge for learning new aspects that place will gradually develop contributing for the overall development of the country.

Published: March 2023

Introduction- Malignancy/cancer is a dreadful condition affecting not only physical but also mental wellbeing of a person. Surgeries associated with its treatment are also leads to morbidity. So apart from treatment we need to nd out the factors which are precipitating for any cancer.I tried to study the distribution of malignant cases received in histopathology lab of a tertiary care centre in two and a half month period with respect to its frequency, site,age gender and important histological types. In this study, we Resultshave seen 118 cases of malignancy in histopathology section in 2 and half months period. Ratio of malignancy in male and female is 0.9 that is malignancy rate is slightly more in females. The reason is increasing incidence of malignancy of uterine cervix and breast.Out of 62 cases of malignancy in females ,24 is in cervix only and 11 is in breast, which together constitute more than half of all cases in females. Among males most common malignancy was oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma, it constitute nearly half of all malignant cases in males, which is 27 out of 56 cases. Two cases of laryngeal carcinoma, and 4 cases of urinary bladder carcinoma are seen exclusively in males, Probably because all the three cancers i.e. oral cavity, larynx and urinary bladder are associated with smoking and tobacco chewing .Hence If a campaign is started to Prohibit smoking and tobacco chewing and more important if there production and selling can be banned by government, the incidence of malignancy can become nearly half in males. This study provides a framework for assessing the s Conclusion - tatus and trends of cancer in India. It shall guide for action to strengthen efforts to improve cancer prevention and control to reduce morbidity and mortality
ROLE OF NST IN THE MANAGEMENT OF HIGH RISK PREGNANCIES IN TERM GESTATION - A COMPARITVE STUDY

Published: March 2023

Introduction: In developing countries, maternal morbidity has been signicantly decreased so now modern obstetricians are focusing more on fetal health. Initially fetus was considered only as an outcome of pregnancy but nowa-days the fetus is considered as the second person. So it also requires as much surveillance as the health of mother. In modern obstetrics methods for fetal risk determination have shifted from less specic biochemical methods (e.g. maternal estriol determination) to more specic fetal biophysical methods. Non stress test is one of the biophysical techniques, which is widely used in the management of high risk pregnancies. With the acceptance of 'small family norm', it has become necessary that every wanted conception should successfully end in birth of a viable healthy baby. The non-stress test can identify the fetus in jeopardy in utero. This clini Methodology: cal study was conducted at KVG Medical College and Hospital, in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology over a period of 1year from February 2021- February 2022. The study included 50 High Risk pregnant women in study group (selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria) and 50 Low Risk pregnant women as control group who were enrolled and evaluated by NST from 37- 41 weeks of gestation. NST resul Results: ts shows that in low risk group 76% were reactive and 24% was non-reactive. In high risk group it was 66% in Reactive and 34% non-reactive. Most (74%) of the subjects delivered normally in low risk group whereas in high risk group 50 % delivered normally and 50% underwent LSCS. In low risk group, 18.4% cases of reactive NST underwent LSCS and 50% of cases with non-reactive NST underwent LSCS. The mean NICU admission in reactive of low risk is 2.579 and that of non-reactive is 3.25. But in High risk group the NICU admission days in reactive group is 4.67 and that of non-reactive is 5.882. Conclusion: The antenatal surveillance of high risk pregnancies with NST can effectively screen for identication of high risk fetuses and segregate the population that is at risk for perinatal mortality and morbidity

Published: March 2023

The diagnostic criteria for hyperinammation are incompletely dened, especially in the context of COVID-19. Early studies of patients with COVID-19 established independent associations between biomarkers of inammation (such as C-reactive protein, interleukin [IL]-6, and ferritin) and severe disease (i.e., requiring respiratory support or resulting in death).1,2 Subsequent prospective studies have conrmed these associations in large cohorts of people admitted to hospital with COVID-19 and critical illness has been proposed to be more strongly associated with high levels of inammatory biomarkers (C-reactive protein concentration >200 mg/L and D-dimer concentration >2500 mg/L) than with age or comorbidity. This evidence has formed the basis for initial predictive models and decision aids for patients at risk of a poor outcome.3

Histiocytosis is a benign pathology caused by macrophage proliferation leading to granulomatous deposits in different body tissues. Hypercalcemia is a biological abnormality described during Histiocytosis, resulting from several mechanisms. We present a case of a patient followed for Cutaneous Histiocytosis who manifested with hypercalcemia during her follow up. The serum electrolytes labs along with the parathyroid hormone prole conrmed that it is hypercalcemia secondary to a primary hyperparathyroidism. Morphological examination revealed a parathyroid adenoma successfully operated. The association of primary hyperparathyroidism with histiocytosis has rarely reported in the literature to our knowledge. The observation encourages us to explore the phosphocalcic balance in front of hypercalcemia in a patient with granulomatosis and not to stop at the classic mechanisms of hypercalcemia during these pathologies

Published: March 2023

Background & objectives: Syphilis is the second most common infectious cause of adverse outcomes in pregnancy. Indian data on antenatal syphilis seroprevalence is meagre. This study aims to determine seroprevalence of antenatal syphilis and its adverse outcomes. Methods: This was a prospective study, conducted among 381 antenatal mothers and their newborns, whose blood samples were collected, subjected to non-specic (RPR, VDRL) and specic (IgM ELISA, Total Antibody ELISA, IHA, TPHA card) serological tests. The prevalence of antenatal syphilis in this study was Results: 2.09 %. Adverse outcomes for antenatal syphilis in newborns was 50%. Interpretation and conclusion: Although RPR and VDRL are cost effective for mass screening of pregnant females, they may produce false positive reactions. It is good to include Treponemal test such as TPHA card test for screening of pregnant mothers. Syphilis IgM is not a good predictor of disease

Published: March 2023

Introduction: The Accurate estimation of foetal weight is of paramount importance in modern obstetrics for management of labour and delivery. During the past two decades estimated foetal weight is incorporated into the standard routine antepartum evaluation of high-risk pregnancy & deliveries. Present study was conducted to estimation fetal weight by clinical method and by ultrasonography and to nd out its correlation with actual birth weight in term pregnancy. The cross-sectional Material and Methods: observational study was conducted in outpatient or inpatient Obstetric section of Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology and USG section of Department of Radio-diagnosis of A.C.P.M. Medical College and Hospital, Dhule, Maharashtra. Most of the study Observations & Results: subjects were between 24-28 years of age 53.5% with mean age of 24.71 years. The mean Hadlock weight was 2705 ± 469 gm, while the actual birth weight was 2805 ± 465 gm. The difference was found to be statistically signicant (p<0.05). The difference in Dare's clinical method was found to be 73.3 ± 49.8 gm, while the Hadlock difference was found to be 103.1 ± 77.4 gm. There was a very strong, positive, statistically signicant correlation seen between Dare Weight and Actual Weight (p<0.05). There was a very strong, positive, statistically signicant correlation seen between Hadlock Weight and Actual Weight (p<0.05). Thus, major ndi Conclusion: ng from this study is that clinical estimation of fetal weight is as accurate as the ultrasonographic method of estimation within the normal birth weight range. Our study has important implication as in developing country like India, where ultrasound is not available in many health care delivery systems specially in rural areas where clinical method is easy, cost effective, simple, accurate and can be used even by midwives.

The characteristics of adsorbents were evaluated by X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). Additionally, the impact of different parameters such as pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, type of treatment and solution temperature were studied. The experimental data was investigated by two models kinetically of pseudo-rst-order and pseudo-second-order. The results indicated that the adsorption followed pseudosecond-order model with correlation R2 = 0.9995 and 0.9473 for Pb2+, Cd2+ respectively. The equilibrium time of heavy metals was obtained after 4h. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that adsorption of Pb2+ on modied clay was exothermic and spontaneous, while endothermic adsorption in Cd2+ adsorption case. The characteristic of the method, such as the adsorbent abundance and speed of the adsorption process was effective to remove of pollutants from wastewater

The secrets of not just longevity but healthy meaningful lives need to be researched more as the world silvers. Most studies on geriatrics focus only on one or two parameters of good health which is insufcient as health encompasses physical, mental, social, emotional, and nutritional domains. This study aimed to measure all domains of health within two familial conditions in which the elderly live in India - living alone and with family. 456 geriatrics, more than 60 years of age, living in Mumbai and categorized into two familial groups- living alone and with family were assessed comprehensively using anthropometry, food frequency, Geriatric depression scale, mini mental status assessment, and instrumental activities of daily living protocols. A detailed validated questionnaire was used for data collection. BMI was computed and compared with the WHO and Asian standards. Subjective sleep quality and social connectedness were scored. The mean age of the participants was 70.8 years ± 8.9. 30.9 percent lived alone. Using the Asian BMI standard only 18 percent were normal. Intake of foods high in fat, sugar, and salt was observed in both groups. Elderly living with family took more number of meals as compared to living alone participants (p < 0.05) ensuring adequate food intake. 56.5% of those who lived with the family had lower scores for mobility measured with the IADL scale but slept better than those who lived alone. Surprisingly elderly who lived alone had better social connectedness scores. Educational status was also an important factor signicantly affecting living conditions. While it is not possible to change living conditions, specic need-based education can be designed to increase both awareness and knowledge so that the elderly live not just longer but lead healthier lives

The gut microbiota affects silkworm growth and development and is particularly associated with food absorption, nutrient use, and disease immunity. The behaviour and evolution of insects are inuenced by interactions with their microbiome. In cases of nutritional deciency or other health conditions, certain microbes can be given as dietary supplements to promote insect reproduction, food conversion, and growth as well as health parasitic infection. An overview of insect-microbiota interactions is provided, as well as information on the function of probiotics, their typical application in the rearing of insects for food and feed, and their interactions with the host microbiota. The improvement of the silkworm's growth and development is greatly aided by nutrition

Congenital Talipes Equinovarus is the most common congenital condition rst described by Hippocrates. The term ―”Talipus Equinovarus” is derived from the Latin: Talus means ankle; pes means foot and equinus meaning ―”horselike” (plantarexed) and varus meaning inversion plus adduction.1 Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), commonly known as congenital 2 clubfoot, is one of the most prevalent birth disorders affecting the musculoskeletal system and is found in one out of every 1,000 live births. Every year, a large number of infants are born with congenital clubfoot. One CTEV occurs for every 1000 live births. The majority of these children were born in nations where they continue to receive inadequate or no treatment, which lowers their quality of life. The controversy around CTEV has existed and been known to mankind since the beginning of existence. These topics have been the focus of several studies, all of which have helped us comprehend the pathoanatomy and choose the best course of action. However, according to the literature, treatment for clubfoot is often successful in all cases. We documented the functional results of the Ponseti method's serial cast repair of CTEV in our study.

Even while it is impossible to completely eradicate wound infections, the patient will clearly benet from a decrease in wound infection rates to an acceptable minimum level. The introduction of more modern treatment approaches has made surgical site infection (SSI) both efciently preventable and controllable. Studying the prevalence of surgical site infections in both elective and urgent surgeries during the postoperative period is the goal. A total number of 150 cases were involved in the Methods : prospective observational study conducted in Department of General surgery at our hospital that is scheduled for abdominal surgeries. Including all abdominal surgeries both elective and emergency. Preoperative ndings which include skin preparation, type and time of preparation, preoperative antibiotics use were regarded. Operative ndings which include, type of incision, wound contamination. In this study the Results : rate of SSI in abdominal surgery was done in 150 patients, among which surgical site infections were clinically diagnosed in 26 patients with an occurrence of 17% out of 150 cases, 5 cases with SSI were diagnosed among 79 elective surgeries and 21 cases with SSI were diagnosed among 71 emergency surgeries. . Incidence of SSI among males is 12.5%; whereas of infection among females is 22.8% majority of patients belonged to age group between 51-60years. Out of 150 cases, 33 underwent clean surgery among which 2 developed SSI, out of 63 clean contaminated cases 6 developed SSI, out of 19 cases 7 developed SSI out of 38 cases 12 developed SSI. Emergency surgeries accounted for m Conclusion : ore SSI i.e. 29%. Dirty type of surgeries has high incidence of SSI at 32.43%. Majority of the patients belonged to age group of 51-60 years which account for 29%. The wound infection was more common in females (22.5%) than males (12.8%). Early diagnosis of SSI and prompt management by isolation of organism causing SSI, using sensitive antibiotics and regular dressing help in reducing morbidity for the patients.

Published: March 2023

Introduction. Kindia tick virus (KITV) is a novel segmented unclassified flavi-like virus of the Flaviviridae family. This virus is associated with ixodes ticks and is potentially pathogenic to humans.
The main goal of this work was to search for structural motifs of viral polypeptides and to develop a 3D-structure for viral proteins of the flavi-like KITV.
Materials and methods. The complete genome sequences for KITV, Zika, dengue, Japanese encephalitis, West Nile and yellow fever viruses were retrieved from GenBank. Bioinformatics analysis was performed using the different software packages.
Results. Analysis of the KITV structural proteins showed that they have no analogues among currently known viral proteins. Spatial models of NS3 and NS5 KITV proteins have been obtained. These models had a high level of topological similarity to the tick-borne encephalitis and dengue viral proteins. The methyltransferase and RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase domains were found in the NS5 KITV. The latter was represented by fingers, palm and thumb subdomains, and motifs A-F. The helicase domain and its main structural motifs IVI were identified in NS3 KITV. However, the protease domain typical of NS3 flaviviruses was not detected. The highly conserved amino acid motives were detected in the NS3 and NS5 KITV. Also, eight amino acid substitutions characteristic of KITV/2018/1 and KITV/2018/2 were detected, five of them being localized in alpha-helix and three in loops of nonstructural proteins.
Conclusion. Nonstructural proteins of KITV have structural and functional similarities with unsegmented flaviviruses. This confirms their possible evolutionary and taxonomic relationships.

Published: March 2023

Introduction. Currently, low molecular-weight compounds are being developed as potential inhibitors of CoVs replication, targeting various stages of the replication cycle, such as major protease inhibitors and nucleoside analogs. Viroporins can be alternative protein targets.
The aim of this study is to identify antiviral properties of histidine derivatives with cage substituents in relation to pandemic strain SARS-CoV-2 in vitro.
Materials and methods. Combination of histidine with aminoadamantane and boron cluster anion [B10H10]2 (compounds IIV) was carried out by classical peptide synthesis. Compound were identified by modern physicochemical methods. Antiviral properties were studied in vitro on a monolayer of Vero E6 cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 (alpha strain) with simultaneous administration of compounds and virus.
Results. Derivatives of amino acid histidine with carbocycles and boron cluster were synthesized and their antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 was studied in vitro. Histidine derivatives with carbocycles and [B10H10]2 have the ability to suppress virus replication. The solubility of substances in aqueous media can be increased due to formation of hydrochloride or sodium salt.
Discussion. 2HCl*H-His-Rim (I) showed some effect of suppressing replication of SARS-CoV-2 at a viral load of 100 doses and concentration 31.2 g/ml. This is explained by the weakly basic properties of compound I.
Conclusion. The presented synthetic compounds showed moderate antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2. The obtained compounds can be used as model structures for creating new direct-acting drugs against modern strains of coronaviruses.
