A CASE STUDY ON 3 WEEKS PREMATURE RUPTURE OF MEMBRANES CAUSED BY OROPHARYNGEAL MICROBIOTA
Authors: SM ALKASSEH AREEFA , ALKHATIB SHAIMAA JAMAL
Published: January 2022

Premature rupture of membrane (PROM) is produced when amniotic membranes tear before labor onset and is recorded in around 8 % of full-term gestations. Preterm PROMs (PPROMs) take place before the 37th week of gestation, with an incidence of 2–4 % of pregnancies, and it is associated with higher maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, mainly related to infectious processes and prematurity. Among maternal complications, which include postpartum infection, premature placental detachment, and maternal sepsis, we highlight clinical chorioamnionitis for its incidence and severity. Of decreasing frequency, perinatal complications include respiratory distress, neonatal sepsis, intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, and neurological lesions. Full-term PROM frequently has a physiological cause and is a consequence of uterine contractions; however, PPROM usually has a multifactorial etiology that is often unknown, although the most frequently reported cause is an infection, observed in up to 60 % of cases. Therefore, the etiology of PPROM, although probably infectious, remains unknown in most cases. The obstetric approach varies as a function of gestational age, actively inducing the pregnancy in full-term PROM but performing an overall evaluation of maternal-fetal status in PPROM. In the latter situation, an assessment is made of the relative risks and benefits of a wait-and-see attitude versus pregnancy induction, considering signs of infection and/or prematurity, and ordering antibiotic treatment when PPROM is diagnosed . Multiple combinations of antimicrobial drugs have been proposed and better perinatal and maternal outcomes have been reported for the prophylactic administration of some new combinations. This study describes a case of PPROM caused by urinary tract infection.

Authors:   AO Research Institute Davos, Davos, Switzerland, Vernengo A , Li Z , Grad S
Published: January 2022

The intervertebral disc (IVD) has long been known as a mechanical structure responsible for spinal flexibility and load distribution, while its dysfunction is a frequent source of pain and disability. In recent years, multiple signaling pathways contributing to the regulation of the IVD homeostasis in health and disease have been discovered. At the same time, crosstalk of the IVD with adjacent tissues, immune cells, nerve cells and systemic mediators has been identified as an essential mechanism of degeneration and repair. Such discoveries open the door for the design of new therapeutic and diagnostic targets. This Disc Biology Special Issue provides an abstract of cutting-edge findings in terms of tissue regulation, therapeutic intervention and preclinical models, which will help to improve the management of IVD disorders.

Diverse molecular phenotypes of ATP7B protein in Wilson disease: functional insights and therapeutic implications
Authors: Mukherjee Shashwata
Published: January 2022

Wilson disease is a rare genetic disease causing copper accumulation due to mutations in the copper transporter protein ATP7B gene. Its varied clinical features result from toxic build-up of the ion primarily in liver and brain. The large number and variety of ATP7B mutations and influence of modifiers are suggested to account for only part of this heterogeneity. Exciting research on functional aspects is gradually elucidating the interesting behaviour of mutant ATP7B under different physiological conditions. Subtle perturbations in its delicate architecture have been shown to affect diverse functional properties of this copper pump. It is possible that compound heterozygotes bearing mutations with two different molecular phenotypes may partially complement each other’s defect, giving rise to unpredictable clinical presentation. These have tremendous potential in contributing to the clinical variability. More recent findings indicate the role of interacting partners in modulating the disease phenotype. The present review aims to outline the major strategies for in vitro evaluation of mutant ATP7B protein function, summarize the information on such studies in the literature, and gain new insights on the molecular behaviour and regulation of the protein. The functional consequence of mutations at 86 residue positions was reviewed through search in Pubmed and this information was analysed. A glimpse on studies at the transcription level is also provided. The development of new generation drugs to correct the underlying molecular defect is briefly discussed to emphasize how basic research to elucidate the molecular phenotype can have the potential to usher in the age of precision medicine for this disease.

Published: January 2022

Human breast milk is a prominent source for microbiota development in the infant gastrointestinal tract. It is reported that probiotics in breast milk have a major role in the protection of the newborns and as well as infants when compared to formula milk/cow milk fed babies. The aim of the present study was to isolate and identify the probiotics from human breast milk. Fifty healthy women during the first week of postpartum were selected randomly and milk samples were collected aseptically. The samples were screened for probiotic microflora using microbiological methods, including serial dilution and plating on de Man-Rogosa-Sharpe agar. The isolates suspected to be probiotics were selected for morphological, biochemical and molecular characterization and bioinformatics analysis. They were further evaluated for their probiotic potential. Mixed microflora were found: commensal microorganisms like Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp. and Lactobacillus spp. Twelve Lactobacillus spp. were isolated from breast milk, which were confirmed for genus and species by molecular methods and bioinformatics. These Lactobacilli were found to be acid resistant, tolerant to 0.3% bile and had ability to inhibit the growth of food-borne pathogens. A diversified bacterial population was present in human breast milk, and it was also found to be a rich source for beneficial probiotics, particularly Lactobacillus spp.

Published: January 2022

In RNA isolation protocol, two essential factors decide the quality of RNA. One is an extra care of avoiding effect of omnipresent ribonucleases using potent inhibitors such as guanidine isothiocyanate (GITC). The other is the extraction reagent’s chemical combination and concentration, which is decided based on the source sample of RNA. In virus-infected clinical samples, the extraction efficiency relies on the aetiologic agent’s titre value, which is dependent on the day of sample collection from the onset of the disease. The quality of RNA is crucial for accurate diagnosis and other downstream applications. Dengue, a flaviviral infection, displays a high titre and becomes desirable for molecular diagnosis. Here we optimized viral RNA isolation from dengue-infected NS1 (nonstructural protein) positive residual clinical serum samples based on the original GITC-phenol-chloroform extraction method. A concentrated RNA extracting reagent called REC reagent was defined and used along with the glycogen carrier. This laboratory-prepared reagent and glycogen as co-precipitant aided in better isolation of RNA. Glycogen also contributed to the visibility of the pellet, which helped to process the washing step efficiently. This methodology is cost-effective in a research laboratory setup against a commercial kit, especially when a vast number of specimens are involved. The manual methods give scope for modifications, thus bringing down the cost. The challenges connected to the usage of residual samples and the methodology is discussed in detail.
Tripleurospermum maritimum from a coastal shingle beach: nitrophilic status, tolerance to salinity and heavy metals
Authors: Ievinsh Gederts , Andersone-Ozola Una , Karlsons Andis , Osvalde Anita
Published: January 2022

Tripleurospermum maritimum is a species characteristic for several protected sea coast habitats. The aim of the present study was to investigate possible nitrofilous status, tolerance to salinity and heavy metals, as well as the metal accumulation potential of T. maritimum plants from a sea-affected coastal habitat in controlled conditions. Plants were cultivated in an automated greenhouse in containers with a substrate made from garden soil and quartz sand. Three separate experiments were performed: (i) plants received combined treatment of three different doses of mineral fertilizer plus additional NO3‑N or NH4‑N; (ii) plants were treated with increasing concentration of NaCl; and (iii) plants were treated with increasing concentration of Cd or Pb. After seven weeks of cultivation, plant morphological characteristics, soluble ion concentration in tissue extracts and tissue Cd and Pb concentrations were measured. Increase in mineral nutrient availability stimulated shoot growth of T. maritimum plants. Addition of N fertilizer resulted in further increase of shoot biomass by 20 to 30%. Plants exhibited good tolerance to increased Na+ concentration, with only about 30% reduction in shoot biomass at 5 g L‑1. High electrolyte accumulation potential was evident in shoots, with preferred accumulation of K+ over Na+. Tolerance to heavy metals was very high, as growth of plants was not affected even in 100 mg L‑1 Cd treatment. Root biomass of plants treated with 500 mg L‑1 Pb was reduced only by 35%, while shoot growth was unaffected. Both Cd and Pb were preferentially accumulated in roots of T. maritimum, with concentration in aboveground parts being less than 10% from that in roots. In conclusion, the coastal accession of T. maritimum from a shingle beach is moderately nitrophylic with high salinity tolerance and very high tolerance to heavy metals, with characteristic exclusion of the metals from aboveground parts.

Authors: Shulpekova Yu. O. , Tkachenko P. E. , Shirokova E. N. , Damulin I. V.
Published: January 2022

Aim. A review to highlight the bile acids importance as steroid mediators of nervous system activity and show the nervous system involvement in cholesterol metabolism and bile acids production.

Key points. Presence of bile acid membrane and nuclear receptors and their activation role in mediating manifold metabolic processes have been established in various organs and tissues. Bile acid transporters are discovered in CNS. The animal brain under physiological conditions was found to contain about 20 bile acid types of likely innate origin suggested by their high contents; the bile acids spectrum in CNS differs significantly from blood plasma. Clinical and experimental works are conclusive about the CNS bile acids influence on mitochondrial membrane, their antioxidative role and, probably, steroid-mediator involvement in indirect regulation of memory, attention, motor functions and appetite.

Conclusion. Bile acids act as pleiotropic signalling molecules affecting various tissues. The presence in CNS of various bile acid synthesis-related receptors and enzymes indicates their value in brain functioning and warrants research into their metabolism.
Silent Conversations in Rudyard Kipling’s Kim and Ruskin Bond’s Rusty novels
Authors: Ghosh Debasree
Published: January 2022

The essay undertakes an analysis of the connections and conversations between Rudyard Kipling’s Kim(1901) and Ruskin Bond’s largely autobiographical Rusty(1955-) novels. Kipling’s Kimhas evoked many literary responses and reactions across India. While writers such as Sarath Kumar Ghosh, Rabindranath Tagore, T.N. Murari,and even Sashi Tharoor have boldly written back to Kim, Ruskin Bond silently acknowledgesit in his Rusty series of children’s fiction. At times, Bond’s pointed and conscious avoidance ofKipling becomes his means of accepting Kipling’s influence on him. The essay traces the implicit dialogue between thesetwo Anglo-Indian authorsand their protagonists.It undertakes a close reading of theirnovelsto analysethe evolution of English literature and Anglo-Indianism in India, whilealsoexaminingthe divided identities of the authors and their fictional protagonists.
Nguyen’s The Sympathizer and Coetzee’s Early Fiction: Representation, Grievability, Framing
Authors: Teimouri Mahdi
Published: January 2022

Viet ThanhNguyen’s The Sympathizer(2015) is an intriguing novel for anyone familiar with the early fiction of J.M. Coetzee. Nguyen’s debut novel has as its theme the war in Vietnam, which is not surprising given his background and his scholarly work preceding its publication. Interestingly, Coetzee’s first novel, Dusklands(1974) comprised two novellas, the first of which,called “The Vietnam Project”, is also related to the US invasion of Vietnam. Both works offer critical insights into US war-mongering in the post-World War II era. Additionally, Coetzee’s third novel, Waiting for the Barbarians(1980), bears thematic resemblances with both his and Nguyen’s debut novels, as they, in one way or another, are concerned with imperialism’s modus operandi and its continuation through the subjugation, intimidation,and annihilation of collective subjects. The main aim of this paper is to investigate the parallels and overlaps that can be detected among these three novelsthat are germane to the stratagems adopted by an imperialist power to sustain its dominion, legitimize its presence,andjustify brutality. These stratagems mediate the way the imperial force relatesto or conceivesof the other. Of the concepts employed in this article,the following areof particular significance: representation, grievability, and framing.

«Мертвые Цари всегда должны по смерти своей быть судимы»: Посмертная судьба одного древнеегипетского обычая в русской и европейской словесности XVI – XIX вв. [“Dead Kings Must Always be Judged after Their Demise”: The Afterlife of an Ancient Egyptian Custom in the Russian and European Literature of the 16th to 19th Centuries]
Authors: Neklyudova Maria
Published: January 2022

In his Bibliotheca historica, Diodorus Siculus described a peculiar Egyptian custom of judging all the dead (including the pharaohs) before their burial. The Greek historian saw it as a guarantee of Egypt’s prosperity, since the fear of being deprived of the right to burial served as a moral imperative. This story of an Egyptian custom fascinated the early modern authors, from lawyers to novelists, who often retold it in their own manner. Their interpretations varied depending on the political context: from the traditional “lesson to sovereigns” to a reassessment of the role of the subject and the duties of the orator. This article traces several intellectual trajectories that show the use and misuse of this Egyptian custom from Montaigne to Bossuet and then to Rousseau—and finally its adaptation by Pushkin and Vyazemsky, who most likely became acquainted with it through the mediation of French literature. The article was written in the framework (and with the generous support) of the RANEPA (ШАГИ РАНХиГС) state assignment research program. KEYWORDS: 16th to 19th-Century European and Russian Literature, Diodorus Siculus (1st century BC), Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712—1778), Alexander Pushkin (1799—1837), Prince Pyotr Vyazemsky (1792—1878), Egyptian Сourt, Locus communis, Political Rhetoric, Literary Criticism, Pantheonization, History of Ideas.
Заметки о дантовских подтекстах и параллелях в русской литературе первой половины XX века [Some Notes on Datean Quotations and Allusions in Russian Literature of the First Half of the 20th Century]
Authors: Levinton Georgy
Published: January 2022

This is the initial part of a larger project consisting of several separate papers. This particular paper has two parts. 1. “No Crumbs on the Table-Cloth” (a line of Pasternak’s poem) claims that a crumb motive in an early version of the poem by Boris Pasternak “Piry” (1913) reflects the initial paragraph of Dante’s Convivio with its bread metaphor (Conv. I.i.7, 10–11). Some other examples of similar echoes are quoted. 2. “The Motherland’s Shoulders” discusses the metaphor shoulders of a mountain, which can be found in a couplet by Koncheyev—a fictional poet from Vladimir Nabokov’s Dar (The Gift, 1936—37 / 1952). This metaphor was previously treated as a quote from Mandelstam’s poem “Zverinets” (1915), but here both cases (and, probably, some additional examples) are seen to go back to the same metaphor in Inf. I, 16 (where it means summit rather than mountainside) and numerous translations of Inferno into English.

The most likely visual source shaping the word choice of Mandel’shtam’s translation (“Promchalis’ dni moi — kak by olenei / Kosiashchii beg. Srok schast’ia byl koroche, / Chem vzmakh resnitsy. Iz poslednei mochi / Ia v gorst’ zazhal lish’ pepel naslazhdenii”) is the tradition of depicting Time as an old man driving a chariot propelled by a couple of deer in editions of Petrarch’s Triumphs (I Trionfi, 1357—74), which Mandel’shtam possibly knew.

Risk of total knee replacement after proximal tibia fracture: a register-based study of 7,841 patients
Authors: Tapper Valtteri S , Pamilo Konsta J , Haapakoski Jaason J , Toom Alar , Paloneva Juha
Published: January 2022

Background and purpose — Post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis following proximal tibia fracture (PTF) is a common complication that may lead to total knee replacement as secondary treatment (TKRS). We determined the risk of TKRS following PTF, whether treated nonoperatively or operatively, and compared the results with a 38-fold control group without prior PTF.
Patients and methods — We identified all patients over 18 years of age in Finland with PTF treated during the period 2009–2018 from the Finnish Hospital Discharge Register (FHDR) and Finnish Arthroplasty Register (FAR). Age, sex, treatment method, follow-up time, and possible TKRS were recorded.
Results — 7,701 patients were treated for PTF during the period 2009–2018. Over the 5.1-year (SD 3.1) follow-up, TKRS was performed in 340 (4.3%) patients with a prior PTF after a mean of 2.1 (SD 2.0) years post-fracture. TKRS was needed in 138 (3.7%, HR 1.8) patients in the nonoperatively treated group and in 202 (5.0%, HR 3.2) patients in the operatively treated group. Operative treatment, female sex, and high age were identified as risk factors for TKRS. The incidence of TKRS was highest during the first 2 years after fracture and remained elevated throughout the follow-up.
Interpretation — Patients with a prior PTF had a 1.8- to 3.2-fold higher risk of TKRS compared with controls during the first 5 years post-fracture. Risk of TKRS was associated with an operatively treated PTF, female sex, and high age. The patients in the operative group likely sustained more complex fractures, while female sex and age may be explained by more osteoporotic bone quality.
obesity paradox and mortality after pathological hip fractures: a Swedish registry study
Authors: Ehne Jessica , Tsagozis Panagiotis , Lind Anja , Wedin Rikard , Hedström Margareta
Published: January 2022

Background and purpose — Obesity as measured by BMI has been associated with increased survival in various diseases, a phenomenon known as the “obesity paradox.” It is unknown whether obesity is associated with survival after pathological fractures. We investigated the association between BMI and survival after surgery for pathological hip fracture, to improve survival prognostication, and lay grounds for further interventional nutritional studies.
Patients and methods — We analyzed prospectively collected data from Swedish nationwide registry “RIKSHÖFT.” The study cohort included 1,000 patients operated for a pathological hip fracture between 2014 and 2019. BMI registered on admission was available in 449 patients. Overall patient survival was measured according to the Kaplan–Meier method. Multivariable regression was used to evaluate association with other potential factors that influence patient survival.
Results — Overweight and obesity were associated with an increased postoperative survival in male patients with surgically treated pathological hip fractures. Multivariable analysis considering potential confounders confirmed this finding. The association was not that strong in women and did not reach statistical significance.
Interpretation — BMI, a commonly available clinical parameter, is a good predictor of overall survival for patients operated on for pathological hip fracture. Incorporation of BMI in existent survival prognostication algorithms should be considered. Treatment of malnutrition in this frail group of patients is worth studying.

Authors: Afriani Mayang , Ramadan Zaka Hadikusuma
Published: January 2022

Students also experience the impact of Covid-19 by limiting social interaction. However, social interaction is needed for a child to build character and social skills in interacting with other people. This study aimed to analyze patterns of social interaction in the fourth grade COVID-19 period in elementary school. The research subjects were 3 teachers and 90 students. The research instruments are interviews and questionnaires. The data collection technique used in this study was non-test, namely a questionnaire (questionnaire) and interviews. The results showed that social interaction during the pandemic was less effective. As evidenced by the five indicators, working together has an average score of 82.43%; during a pandemic, it is less effective due to limitations and many obstacles. The openness of the average value of 82.43% is classified as "good," and many students still do not understand technology for online learning and how to use it—empathy, with an average value of 80.95% (good). There is already an awareness in students to empathize with their friends. Giving motivation an average value of 79.70% is classified as "good" when learning students support each other and work together in doing assignments together at home. With a positive sense of the average value of 81.56%, students can develop positive values in the surrounding environment. Similarity with others, the average value is 82.15%, there is an attitude of equality in students to their friends in working on assignments and collecting assignments. It can be concluded that students' social interactions during the current Covid-19 period are not running perfectly compared to face-to-face.
