Authors: Zou Xinxin , Huang Hao , Zhang Qingyu , Ma Zhen , Chen Yumei , Wu Weifeng , Fu Aizhen
Published: December 2021

Ovarian mucinous cystic tumors may be associated with various types of mural nodules, which can be classified as benign or malignant (anaplastic carcinoma, sarcoma, carcinosarcoma). However, anaplastic malignant nodules have rarely been reported. Here, we present a case of a 35-year-old woman who presented with abdominal discomfort. Ultrasonography showed a large cystic mass in the pelvic and abdominal cavities measuring 337 × 242 mm. Abdominal computed tomography revealed upper anterior and posterior uterine pelvic cystic lesions based on multiple nodule partition walls and classes. During hospitalization, the patient underwent exploratory laparotomy, which revealed a poorly differentiated ovarian malignant tumor, and subsequent surgical excision was performed. The pathological analysis of the surgical samples of the right ovary revealed a mucinous ovarian tumor, while the mural nodules were classified as anaplastic carcinoma. After surgery, the patient started receiving chemotherapy. Unfortunately, the patient died 6 months later. Mucinous tumor occurring with an anaplastic carcinoma is rare, and the current diagnostic methods are not sufficient in providing an early and accurate diagnosis. Most patients are already in the advanced stage upon diagnosis and combined with poorly differentiated pathological features, the prognosis is extremely poor. Clinicians need to improve the clinical evaluation before surgery and conduct preoperative preparation and communication to improve the prognosis of patients as much as possible.

Authors: Kheyrandish Setare , Rastgar Amirhossein , Arab-Zozani Morteza , Sarab Gholamreza Anani
Published: December 2021

Background and Objective: Infection by the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with different types of thrombotic complications same as portal vein thrombosis (PVT). However, by emerging vaccines of COVID, the thrombosis did not seem to be concerning anymore. Until new findings showed that, the vaccine of COVID itself can cause PVT.

Method: We performed an electronic search in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Sciences to evaluate the possibility of occurring PVT due to infection and vaccination of COVID-19. The results were reported in a narrative method and categorized into tables.

Result: Overall, 40 cases of PVT from 34 studies were reviewed in this article. The prevalence of PVT following COVID-19 was more remarkable in males. However, it was more common in females after vaccinations of COVID-19 in the reviewed cases. Regardless of etiology, 20 of PVT cases reviewed in this article had at least one comorbidity. The most common clinical presentation was abdominal pain (AP). After anticoagulant therapies, most of the patients improved or discharged.

Conclusion: As long as the laboratory findings are not appropriate enough to predict PVT, the diagnosis of this complication with whatever underlying reason is challengeable, while rapid diagnosis and treatment of that are vital. Therefore, by providing available data in an organized way, we aimed to prepare the information of infected patients for better and easier future diagnosis of PVT in new cases.

Introduction: Older adults with dementia have been significantly at more risk for not receiving the care needed and for developing further mental health problems during COVID-19. Although the rise in telemedicine adoption in the healthcare system has made it possible for patients to connect with their healthcare providers virtually, little is known about its use and effects among older adults with dementia and their mental health.

Objective: This systematic review aimed to explore the use, accessibility, and feasibility of telemedicine in older adults with dementia, as well as examine the potential mental health impacts of these technologies, through reviewing evidence from studies conducted during COVID-19.

Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched with the following keywords: (COVID* OR SARS-CoV-2 OR Coronavirus) AND (“mental health” OR Depression OR Stress) AND (Dementia OR Multi-Infarct Dementia OR Vascular Dementia OR Frontotemporal Dementia) AND (elder OR Aging OR Aging OR Aged) AND (Telemedicine OR “Remote Consultation” OR telehealth OR technology).

Results: A total of 7 articles from Asia, Europe, and the United States were included in this review. Throughout the studies cognitive and mental health assessments (e.g., MoCA, FAST, etc.) were performed. Despite the barriers, telemedicine was noted as a feasible approach to assist individuals with dementia in connecting with their service providers and family while reducing complications related to travel (e.g., difficulty moving, traffic, distance).

Conclusions: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, finding alternative ways to provide services to older adults with dementia through technology may continue to become more necessary as time goes on.

The use of flexible bronchoscopy (FB) with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) to diagnose and manage pulmonary complications has been shown to be safe in adult cancer patients, but whether its use is safe in pediatric cancer patients remains unclear. Thus, to describe the landscape of FB outcomes in pediatric cancer patients and to help define the populations most likely to benefit from the procedure, we undertook a retrospective review of FBs performed in patients younger than 21 years treated at our institution from 2002 to 2017. We found that a greater volume of total fluid instilled during BAL was significantly associated with increased probabilities of positive BAL culture (p=0.042), positive bacterial BAL culture (p=0.037), and positive viral BAL culture (p=0.0496). In more than half of the FB cases, findings resulted in alterations in antimicrobial treatment. Our study suggests that for pediatric cancer patients, FB is safe, likely provides diagnostic and/or therapeutic benefits, and has implications for treatment decisions.

As the laryngopharynx is closely related to swallowing, speech, and phonation, it is necessary to consider not only disease control but also a minimally invasive approach for the treatment of laryngopharyngeal cancer. Transoral surgery has been reported to be a minimally invasive method for treating these diseases. Transoral videolaryngoscopic surgery (TOVS) and endoscopic laryngo-pharyngeal surgery (ELPS) have been developed in Japan and recently emerged as treatments for patients with early stage pharyngeal and laryngeal cancers. However, securing an appropriate field of view and a narrow operating space during TOVS or ELPS are critical issues to be resolved for these surgeries. The clinical significance and safety of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) using the da Vinci Surgical System have been widely reported to provide surgeons with increased visualization and magnification, resulting in precise surgical margins and rapid functional recovery. In this context, a multi-institutional clinical study was conducted to evaluate the treatment outcomes of TORS for the treatment of laryngopharyngeal cancer in Japan, and the da Vinci Surgical System for oral robot-assisted surgery for these diseases was approved by the Pharmaceutical Affairs Agency in August 2018. This review provides an overview of the therapeutic effects of TOVS, ELPS, and TORS, with a particular focus on these therapeutic results in Japan.
Mechanisms of the Rapid Effects of Ketamine on Depression and Sleep Disturbances: A Narrative Review
Authors: Song Bijia , Zhu Jun-Chao
Published: December 2021

Recently, sleep has been recognized as a crucial factor for health and longevity. The daily sleep/wake cycle provides the basis of biorhythm, which controls whole-body homeostasis and homeodynamics. Sleep disturbances can contribute to several physical and psychological disorders, including cardiovascular disease, obesity, depression, and cognitive dysfunction. The clinical use of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist ketamine began in the 1970s. Over the years, physicians have used it as a short-acting anesthetic, analgesic, and antidepressant; however, in-depth research has revealed new possible applications for ketamine, such as for treating sleep disturbances and circadian rhythm disorders. The aim of this narrative review is to examine the literature on the mechanistic role of the antidepressant ketamine in affecting sleep disturbance. Additionally, we discuss the pharmacologic and pharmacokinetic mechanisms of ketamine as an antidepressant and the predictive biomarkers for ketamine’s effect on sleep and cognitive function.

Published: December 2021

The proportion and composition of plant tissues in maize stems vary with genotype and agroclimatic factors and may impact the final biomass use. In this manuscript, we propose a quantitative histology approach without any section labelling to estimate the proportion of different tissues in maize stem sections as well as their chemical characteristics. Macroscopic imaging was chosen to observe the entire section of a stem. Darkfield illumination was retained to visualise the whole stem cellular structure. Multispectral autofluorescence images were acquired to detect cell wall phenolic compounds after UV and visible excitations. Image analysis was implemented to extract morphological features and autofluorescence pseudospectra. By assimilating the internode to a cylinder, the relative proportions of tissues in the internode were estimated from their relative areas in the sections. The approach was applied to study a series of 14 maize inbred lines. Considerable variability was revealed among the 14 inbred lines for both anatomical and chemical traits. The most discriminant morphological descriptors were the relative amount of rind and parenchyma tissues together with the density and size of the individual bundles, the area of stem and the parenchyma cell diameter. The rind, as the most lignified tissue, showed strong visible-induced fluorescence which was line-dependant. The relative amount of para-coumaric acid was associated with the UV-induced fluorescence intensity in the rind and in the parenchyma near the rind, while ferulic acid amount was significantly correlated mainly with the parenchyma near the rind. The correlation between lignin and the tissue pseudospectra showed that a global higher amount of lignin resulted in a higher level of lignin fluorescence whatever the tissues. We demonstrated here the potential of darkfield and autofluorescence imaging coupled with image analysis to quantify histology of maize stem and highlight variability between different lines.

Published: December 2021

Microribonucleic acids (miRNAs) play significant roles in the regulation of biological processes and in responses to biotic or abiotic environmental stresses. Therefore, it is necessary to quantitatively detect miRNAs to understand these complicated biological regulation mechanisms. This study established an ultrasensitive and highly specific method for the quantitative detection of miRNAs using simple operations on the ground of the ligation reaction of ribonucleotide-modified deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) probes. This method avoids the complex design of conventional reverse transcription. In the developed assay, the target miRNA miR156b was able to directly hybridize the two ribonucleotide-modified DNA probes, and amplification with universal primers was achieved following the ligation reaction. As a result, the target miRNA could be sensitively measured even at a detection limit as low as 0.0001 amol, and differences of only a single base could be detected between miR156 family members. Moreover, the proposed quantitative method demonstrated satisfactory results for overexpression-based genetically modified (GM) soybean. Ligation-based quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) therefore has potential in investigating the biological functions of miRNAs, as well as in supervising activities regarding GM products or organisms.

Published: December 2021

Background: In an elderly population with hypertension, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is associated with a higher incidence of mortality and a protracted course of clinical symptoms.

Objective: To assess the perceived risk of infection and complications due to COVID-19 in people with hypertension living in a semi-urban city of Ecuador.

Methods: A cross-sectional telephone survey of adult outpatients with a previous diagnosis of hypertension in the semi-urban community of Conocoto in Quito, Ecuador was conducted from August to December 2020.

Results: A total of 260 adult outpatients, aged 34–97 years, completed telephone surveys. Of total, 71.5% (n = 186) of respondents were women and 28.5% (n = 74) of respondents were men. Overall, 18.1% believe that their risk of infection is “very high,” 55.4% believe that their risk of infection is “high,” 21.5% believe that their risk of infection is “low,” and 5% believe that their risk of infection is “very low.” The perceived risk of complications, if infected by COVID-19, revealed that 21.9% believe that their risk of complication is “very high,” 65.0% believe that their risk of complication is “high,” 10.4% believe that their risk of complication is “low,” and 2.7% believe that their risk of complication is “very low.”

Conclusion: Patients with hypertension are aware of the risks posed by COVID-19 infection and its impact on their health. However, the health system must educate the population on health practices and behaviors to avoid COVID-19 infection until the majority of the population of Ecuador can be vaccinated.

Introduction: The standards of esophagus segmentation remain different between the Japan Esophageal Society (JES) guideline and the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC)/American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) guideline. This study aimed to present variations in the location of intrathoracic esophageal adjacent anatomical landmarks (EAALs) and determine an appropriate method for segmenting the thoracic esophagus based on the relatively fixed EAALs.

Patients and Methods: The distances from the upper incisors to the upper border of the esophageal hiatus, lower border of the inferior pulmonary vein (LPV), tracheal bifurcation, lower border of the azygous vein (LAV), and thoracic inlet were measured in the patients undergoing thoracic surgery. The median distances between the EAALs and the specified starting points, as well as reference value ranges and ratios, were obtained. The variation coefficients of distances and ratios from certain starting points to different EAALs were calculated and compared to determine the relatively fixed landmarks.

Results: This study included 305 patients. The average distance from the upper incisors to the upper border of the cardia, the midpoint between the tracheal bifurcation and esophageal hiatus (MTBEH), LPV, LAV, tracheal bifurcation, and thoracic inlet were 41.6, 35.3, 34.8, 29.4, 29.5, and 20.3 cm, respectively. The distances from the upper incisors or thoracic inlet to any intrathoracic EAALs in men were higher than in women. In addition, the height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) were correlated with the distances. The ratio of the distance between the upper incisors and tracheal bifurcation to the distance between the upper incisors and upper border of the cardia and the ratio of the distance between the thoracic inlet and tracheal bifurcation to the distance between the thoracic inlet and upper border of the cardia possessed relatively smaller coefficients of variation.

Conclusion: The distances from the EAALs to the upper incisors vary with height, weight, BMI, and gender. Compared with distance, the ratios are more suitable for esophagus segmentation. Tracheal bifurcation and MTBEH are ideal EAALs for thoracic esophagus segmentation, and this is consistent with the JES guideline recommendation.
The Temperature Field Evolution and Water Migration Law of Coal under Low-Temperature Freezing Conditions
Authors: Li Bo , Li Li , Huang Laisheng , Lv Xiaoquan
Published: December 2021

This study examines the evolution law of the coal temperature field under low-temperature freezing conditions. The temperature inside coal samples with different water contents was measured in real-time at several measurement points in different locations inside the sample under the condition of low-temperature medium (liquid nitrogen) freezing. The temperature change curve was then used to analyse the laws of temperature propagation and the movement of the freezing front of the coal, which revealed the mechanism of internal water migration in the coal under low-temperature freezing conditions. The results indicate that the greater the water content of the coal sample, the greater the temperature propagation rate. The reasons for this are the phase change of ice and water inside the coal during the freezing process; the increase in the contact area of the ice and coal matrix caused by the volume expansion; and the joint action of the two. The process of the movement of the freezing front is due to the greater adsorption force of the ice lens than that of the coal matrix. Thus, the water molecules adsorbed in the unfrozen area of the coal matrix migrate towards the freezing front and form a new ice lens. Considering the temperature gradient and water content of the coal samples, Darcy’s permeation equation and water migration equation for the inside of the coal under freezing conditions were derived, and the segregation potential and matrix potential were analysed. The obtained theoretical and experimental results were found to be consistent. The higher the water content of the coal samples, the smaller the matrix potential for the hindrance of water migration. Furthermore, the larger the temperature gradient, the larger the segregation potential, and the faster the water migration rate.
The Prediction of Carbon Emission Information in Yangtze River Economic Zone by Deep Learning
Authors: Huang Huafang , Wu Xiaomao , Cheng Xianfu
Published: December 2021

This study aimed to respond to the national “carbon peak” mid-and long-term policy plan, comprehensively promote energy conservation and emission reduction, and accurately manage and predict carbon emissions. Firstly, the proposed method analyzes the Yangtze River Economic Belt as well as its “carbon peak” and carbon emissions. Secondly, a support vector regression (SVR) machine prediction model is proposed for the carbon emission information prediction of the Yangtze River Economic Zone. This experiment uses a long short-term memory neural network (LSTM) to train the model and realize the experiment’s prediction of carbon emissions. Finally, this study obtained the fitting results of the prediction model and the training model, as well as the prediction results of the prediction model. Information indicators such as the scale of industry investment, labor efficiency output, and carbon emission intensity that affect carbon emissions in the “Yangtze River Economic Belt” basin can be used to accurately predict the carbon emissions information under this model. Therefore, the experiment shows that the SVR model for solving complex nonlinear problems can achieve a relatively excellent prediction effect under the training of LSTM. The deep learning model adopted herein realized the accurate prediction of carbon emission information in the Yangtze River Economic Zone and expanded the application space of deep learning. It provides a reference for the model in related fields of carbon emission information prediction, which has certain reference significance.

Published: December 2021

Virus-imprinted polymers were synthesized via surface imprinting strategies to produce core-shell imprinted particles selective for human adenovirus type 5. High binding affinity of the target virus towards the resulting imprinted layer was confirmed and unspecific binding was reduced in presence of blocking agents, i.e., via bovine serum albumin and skim milk in combination with Tween 20. In addition, the imprinted materials were applied for adenovirus extraction from cell culture supernatants. High levels of virus binding with negligible binding of matrix proteins confirmed the suitability of these materials for binding and extraction of the target virus from complex matrices.

Published: December 2021

In a market economy, the prime-cost of production is the most important indicator of the financial and economic activity of any economic entity. It is a cost estimate of all resources used in the production process of the industry: feed, animal protection products, materials, fuel, energy, fixed assets, labour, natural and other costs associated with its production and sale. The purpose of the work was to calculate the prime-cost of production when rearing of young animals in dairy and beef cattle breeding in the Kurgan region. The analysis has shown that according to the years of observations less than half of livestock products were produced in agricultural organizations of the region: meat – 36,3–38,6 %, milk – 29,3–30,6 %. Egg production in agricultural organizations was at the level of 13 %. The correct choice of objects of calculation and calculation units, as well as the use of special methodological recommendations for accounting production costs and calculating the prime-cost of products (works, services) in agricultural organizations allows us to more accurately determine the prime-cost in dairy and beef cattle breeding. Despite the great attention to the individual aspects of cost accounting and calculating the prime-cost of agricultural production, there is still a need and importance of a more detailed study and further improvement of accounting and calculation of meat and dairy cattle products. The prime-cost of the gain in the live weight of young cattle can be calculated by different methods, but at the same time the selected option must be fixed in the accounting policy of the organization.

Authors: Amiranashvili E. I. , Dymkov A. B.
Published: December 2021

In Russian market of meat products production of poultry meat occupies more than 47 %. At the same time, the share of poultry products in the total volume of animal protein consumed is 42,1 %, including poultry meat – 27,8 %, eggs – 14,3 %. The quality of the resulting meat is significantly influenced by feeding (feed ingredients, biologically active additives). The purpose of the investigations was to study the influence of compound feed containing Camelina presscake on the chemical composition of broiler muscle tissue. The investigations have been carried out on the basis of the Siberian Scientific and Research Institute of Poultry Farming – a branch of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution “Omsk Agricultural Research Center” (Morozovka village, Omsk region) on broiler chickens of the cross Sibiryak-2. The results of the investigations on the influence of compound feed with Camelina presscake obtained from seeds of the Siberian selection on the qualitative composition of the muscle tissue of broilers have been presented in the article. The research has been conducted on four groups of broiler chickens from 1 to 42 days of age, in each group there were 100 heads. Camelina presscake was introduced instead of another traditional protein feed to the 1st experimental group – 12,5 %, the 2nd – 15 % and the 3rd experimental group – 20 % with the preservation of the total energy and protein nutrition of the compound feed. It has been found that in the muscles of broiler chickens of the experimental groups the protein content was higher by 0,06–0,73 abs.%, fat by 0,03–0,57 abs.%, energy nutrition higher by 0,03–0,29 MJ/kg. When comparing the amount of macro- and microelements in muscle tissue, the advantage has been noted for most of the studied indicators of poultry of experimental groups that received compound feed with Camelina presscake.

The number of vehicles in the world's cities increases exponentially, this is the case of Latin American cities, and particularly in the city of Portoviejo, province of Manabí in Ecuador, has been growing considerably in recent years, the city has been expanding towards its surroundings. Due to this big number of vehicles, which also adds little planning to improve the use of public transport, little planning to improve urban vehicular flow, the centralization of administrative area and main shops in the city, are the main reasons why in certain times of the day the traffic can become a little slow.

Universidad Técnica de Manabí, has the objective of modernizing the improvement of vehicular flow in its surroundings and in addition to automating the vehicular entrance to its facilities through the automation of the respective permit for visiting drivers and staff.

In this paper we show the methodology and tools necessary to create a system to control vehicles entry and exit using a Raspberry Pi, an analysis of the different technologies that can be used to improve vehicular flow is also included, approaching the Internet of Things.
