PHYTOCHEMISTRY PROFILE, EFFICACY, AND SAFETY OF GREEN TEA (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze) FOR BREAST CANCER CHEMOPREVENTION: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Hartanti Dwi , Rofida Siti
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT

The consumption of tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze), mainly green tea, is famous for various health benefits. This review summarizes the potential use of green tea and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) for breast cancer chemoprevention. The data were retrieved from the online publication on the Pubmed database and covered the phytochemistry, preclinical study, and clinical trial of green tea related to its use as a breast cancer chemopreventive agent. Catechins, particularly EGCG, are the chemopreventive bioactive constituents of green tea. Preclinical studies demonstrated that the anti-proliferative and induction of apoptosis potentials of green tea are mediated through several different mechanisms. However, no association between green tea intake and a lowered breast cancer risk in human studies, but it might be favorable for secondary cancer prevention.

Keywords: green tea, epigallocatechin gallate, chemopreventive, breast cancer.

Published: April 2022

This study aims to examine the relationship between factors of pressure, opportunity, and rationalization, and the occurrence of real earnings management among Malaysian public listed companies. The study used a sample of 557 Malaysian public listed companies between 2017 and 2019, comprising a total of 1,671 firm-year observations. Replicating a study by Khanh and Nguyen (2018), but not limited to external governance of audit quality, the study added to the knowledge of real earnings management by taking into account the effect of internal governance such as board independence and multiple directorships. And, following Roychowdhury (2006), real earnings management is measured by abnormal cash flow from operations, abnormal production costs, and abnormal discretionary expenditure. The results from regression analysis show that there is a negative and significant association between financial performance, measured by return on assets, and real earnings management. In addition, the results also show that there is a positive and significant association between audit quality, measured by audit firm size, and real earnings management. The findings of this study provide useful insights for the investors to reassess firm corporate governance, and for the regulators to reconsider the current regulations with regard to the practice of real earnings management.

Authors: Nahili Khaled Al , Saleem Irfan , Ahmad Salim , Ahmed El Tayeb , Rajaa Najlaa Al
Published: April 2022

Objectives: Echocardiographic assessment of Left ventricular
systolic function is traditionally being performed by estimation of
fractional shortening and Ejection fraction. Speckle tracking
echocardiography (STE) is a promising tool for assessment of myocardial
function. The aim of this study is to evaluate the global longitudinal
strain (GLS) using 2D-STE in healthy neonates to establish normal
reference ranges. Method: it is a retrospective study through
an analysis of transthoracic echocardiogram of normal healthy neonates.
We enrolled all neonates in our institution from 1
January 2021 to 28 February 2021. 2-D STE was used
to assess left ventricular global longitudinal strain from the apical
views. Results: 185 neonates were enrolled. Mean value for left
ventricle GLS (%) was -19.9 ± 1.2, GLS-derived ejection fraction (%)
was 60.0 ± 2.7; while the left ventricle ejection fraction by biplane
Simpson’s method (%) was 61.0 ± 3. There is a good positive correlation
between the Left Ventricle EF by biplane Simpson’s method and EF by 2-D
STE, which was statistically significant ( r = 0.294,  n =
102,  p=0.003). Apical 4-chamber longitudinal strain and strain
derived EF is significantly correlated with GLS and bi-plan EF
respectively. Conclusion: 2-STE is feasible technique for
analyzing newborn myocardial systolic function. The normal range of GLS
in neonates is not much different than reported for the pediatric. There
is a good positive correlation between the Left Ventricle EF by 2-D STE
and EF by biplane method.

In ceramic tiles manufacturing industry, tiles are manufactured at large scale which makes it more challenging to ensure the quality of each tile according to the set standards. Mostly, Statistical Process Control (SPC) is used by tile manufacturers at each step to monitor various processing parameters. SPC procedures are implemented manually that requires sufficient number of experienced human resource to identify defected tiles from a batch of tiles. The manual inspection also gives low accuracy of defect detection due to human errors and hard environment. Considering these drawbacks, in this paper an automated defect detection method is proposed which is based on image processing and morphological operation to ensure the quality and standard of tiles. The proposed method resizes and converts the input RGB image into grayscale image and removes any possible noisy artifacts. An edge detection algorithm is applied on grayscale image to enhance the edges representing the cracks. Afterwards, morphological erosion and dilation operations are applied, one at a time, to get two intermediate images. Finally, edges are detected by subtracting eroded intermediate image from dilated intermediate image. For detection, the proposed algorithm does not require any separate reference image. The algorithm is tested on an image set of sixty different defected tile images and attained 92% average detection accuracy.

Published: April 2022

The most significant parameters affecting particle size and morphology in
nanoscale powder production are the working temperature and working time.
The reduction in size leads to the addition of new electrical, mechanical,
chemical and optical properties to the materials. The properties of nano ZnO
are of special importance due to its multi-dimensional applications in the
fields of industry, cosmetics, electronics, etc. Zinc oxide (ZnO) with
various morphologies was synthesized by hydrothermal method at different
temperatures (140, 180 and 220oC) and different times (12, 18 and 24 h). The
samples were characterized by SEM, EDX, XRD and UV-vis techniques.SEM and
EDX findings show that especially ZnO nanostructures have developed. The
pattern of the XRD showed that the sample was well crystallized in a
structure of hexagonal wurtzite. The energy band gap values samples
synthesized at different parameters were found to be 3.07, 3.10, 3.19, 3.17
and 3.13 eV, respectively.

Published: April 2022

Itch is a common symptom, but there is limited evidence on the prevalence of itch in children. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of itch in schoolchildren. A questionnaire was developed by experts in the field and based on a literature search. The questionnaire was applied in a pilot study of 25 consecutively selected paediatric patients and their parents. It confirmed the high content validity of the questionnaire, and the questionnaire was comparable to hospital records regarding chronic itch (n = 19, mean consistency 89.47%). The questionnaire was distributed among German schoolchildren in 9/12 randomly selected primary schools in Kiel, Germany. Of 1,722 invited students, 443 schoolchildren aged 6–10 years participated, and 26.2% (n = 116) reported itch. The prevalence of acute itch was 20.0% (n = 87), and 14.7% (n = 65) reported chronic itch. Reduced sleep and mood were often related to chronic itch. This study demonstrated that itch is a common symptom in German schoolchildren.

Published: April 2022

Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare autoimmune skin disease. Although herpes simplex virus has been associated with autoimmune diseases, evidence regarding its association with pemphigus vulgaris exacerbations is scarce. This retrospective cohort study aimed to characterize the epidemiological and clinical features of patients with pemphigus vulgaris who were herpes simplex-positive, compared with those who were herpes simplex-negative, during disease onset. Of 62 patients with pemphigus vulgaris who underwent PCR testing for herpes simplex virus, 25 (40.3%) were positive, with a mean age of 56.1 ± 15.5 years; 35.5% were male. The herpes-positive group had significantly elevated levels of C-reactive protein, Pemphigus Disease Activity Index score, and shorter time to relapse. The time to remission, number of exacerbations per year, and remission status were non-significantly elevated in the herpes-positive group. Thus, routine testing lesions from patients with pemphigus for herpes simplex virus should be performed. If positive, antiviral treatment should be initiated; and preventive antiviral treatment should be considered in severe cases.

Authors: Swain Santosh Kumar , Jena Pragnya Paramita , Das Somadatta
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) continues to spread all over world and is outpacing the resources and capacity of health care systems. This rapidly spreading COVID-19 infection is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and has been challenging the medical community and keeping the whole world in great threat to an unprecedented degree.
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this review article is to describe details of social distancing, hand hygiene and wearing face masks including there role in controlling the current COVID-19 pandemic.
METHOD: We conducted an electronic search of Google Scholar, Scopus, Medline and PubMed databases for articles between June to September 2021.
RESULTS: The novel SARS-CoV-2 virus is transmitted from person to person by respiratory droplets or contact with an infected person. There are no established medications and vaccine available until now to restrain the transmission of the COVID-19 infection. Currently, social distancing, hand hygiene and wearing a mask are key steps to lower the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in COVID-19 pandemic. As this infection is highly contagious via a respiratory pathway through coughing, sneezing and contact with an infected surface, the spread can be reduced by the proper practice of social distancing, hand hygiene or frequent hand washing and wearing mask. These universal precautions should be done as COVID-19 patients may be asymptomatic.
CONCLUSION: Social distancing, hand washing and wearing face masks are cheap and widely acceptable methods for the prevention of the COVID-19 infection. The goal of this review paper is to discuss social distancing, hand hygiene and face mask information, including its role in managing the current COVID-19 pandemic

Authors: Rajak Binod Kumar , Singh Sumanjeet , Paliwal Minakshi
Published: April 2022

Introduction: The extensive use of the internet and its effect on our lives can no longer be overlooked. While the internet is a result of the rapid advancement of science and technology, its impact on students depends on how they use it. The present study identifies Internet usage patterns, nature of use, and Internet Addiction (IA) among India's undergraduate and postgraduate students and its consequences on their lives.
Methods: This empirical examination uses the Multistage Sampling Method (MSM) and cross-sectional method. The structured questionnaire distributed (N=1,200) to ungraduated college students. We included at least ten institutes of every state in India and thirty participants from each institution in this study.
Results: The study revealed that overuse of the internet is statistically significant with internet addiction concerning gender but not with age and education. Overuse of the internet strongly impacts IA. The study further investigates the relationship with the consequences of overuse of the internet with age, gender and education and found that genders significantly differ with the physical and psychological problem but not with a behavioural and relationship problem; level of education has a significant difference with physical and behavioural problem but not with relationship and psychological problems.
Conclusion: Our investigation helps college, university or educational policymakers to frame good mental health policies or create programmes to reduce or constrain the adverse effect of overuse of the internet. The results show a compelling need to reduce the overuse of the internet (OI) by promoting psychological competence.

Authors: Zamani Mazdak , Wembridge Paul
Published: April 2022

Objective: The aims of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of a new automated continuous temperature monitoring system in detecting temperature excursions and describe the challenges of implementing such a system.
Design: This study is an observational before-and-after audit comparing temperature excursions detected in the three months before and three months after the implementation of the new monitoring system at Eastern Health. Inclusion criteria consisted of all medicine and vaccine storage facilities monitored by the new automated temperature monitoring system. Four sites not connected to the new monitoring system were excluded.
Setting: Eastern Health is a large tertiary metropolitan health service in Melbourne, Australia. It operates from 21 locations including seven teaching hospitals, with medicines and vaccines stored in 124 refrigerators, 6 freezers and 101 ambient room temperature storage locations.
Main outcome measures: An analysis of post-implementation data identified a potential association between refrigerator brands and temperature excursion rate.
Results: There was a large increase in the number of temperature excursions detected post-implementation of the new automated monitoring system. 28746, 24 and 8966 temperature excursions were detected post-implementation compared to 344, 0 and 0 pre-implementation in refrigerators, freezers and ambient locations, respectively. The majority of temperature excursions detected in medicine and vaccine fridges were below +2°C (98.4%). One brand of refrigerators was linked to 27231 (94.7%) excursions (p<0.001).
Conclusions: The new temperature monitoring system detects higher number of excursions which provides better visibility of performance, identifies areas of non-compliance, and guides and evaluates solutions. This study recommends that freezers and ambient storage locations are monitored as robustly as refrigerators, temperature monitoring devices are placed in close proximity to pharmaceuticals, and that healthcare organisations avoid purchasing unreliable medicine and vaccine refrigerators. Finally, this study suggests the development of a National Medicine Storage Guideline.

Published: April 2022

The objective was to analyze the views of citizens of the Russian Federation on a number of issues related to donation and transplantation of a cadaveric cornea.

Methods and materials. In order to conduct a sociological survey of citizens, we have developed a questionnaire that includes a number of questions concerning the topics of donation and transplantation. The total volume of the study was 768 observation units.

Results. Most of the respondents had a positive attitude towards posthumous donation. Almost all respondents knew about the existence of queues for organ transplantation, and also generally agreed with the opinion that informational popularization of posthumous donation should be carried out. The overwhelming majority of respondents believe that it is mandatory to have an informed consent during their lifetime, but some of them allow an operation to remove organs without such consent in some cases.

 Conclusion. Given the lack of knowledge about posthumous donation, there is a need to carry out sanitary and educational work among the population, revealing in detail all the main provisions related to posthumous donation.

Published: April 2022

Introduction. Organ lesions due to the new coronavirus infection are determined by several factors: direct cytopathic effect of SARS-CoV-2, release of an unbalanced amounts of proinflammatory cytokines leads to systemic damage of the vascular endothelium and increasing hypoxia. These factors in total result in organ dysfunction.

Methods and materials. We examined 96 pathological studies’ protocols of patients who died from the PCR-confirmed new coronavirus infection. Histological slides stained with hematoxylin and eosin were also analyzed.

Results. Macroscopical and microscopical changes seen mostly in lungs, myocardium and other internal organs were described. We reviewed main causes of death (pulmonary and cardiopulmonary failure, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome) and most common concomitant diseases (diabetes mellitus, essential hypertension, obesity). The morphological features of diffuse alveolar damage in the acute and proliferative phases were described in detail. Taken together with the synchronous involvement of the microvasculature in the pathological process it became the main cause of death. The most severe structural changes in lungs were seen after 20 days of disease. These changes were correlated with dysregenerative metaplastic and dysplastic processes. Processes of disturbed regeneration reflect both the severe viral transformation of the alveolar epithelium and the fact that regeneration developed under mechanical ventilation.

Authors: Villaseñor Gala , Gil Carrillo Ittay
Published: April 2022

There is a great deal of discussion in the specialized literature around the meaning and interpretation of the so-called number terms. It has been established that these terms can denote sets of exact cardinalities, as well as sets compatible with “at least” and “at most” cardinalities (intervalar readings). We present evidence from an experimental study showing that exact readings of number terms under certain grammatical constructions (with a quantifier or predicative function as well as when preceded by a definite article) are preferred by speakers even under certain pragmatic contexts in which intervalar readings could be derived. Our results align with the so-called naïve perspective of the exact semantics of number terms, but also with the fact that both the grammatical structure as well as the pragmatic context play an important role in the interpretations that they can acquire (exactly, at least, at most).
Argumentaciones escritas en estudiantes universitarios

El objetivo de este artículo fue realizar un análisis desde la perspectiva francesa del Análisis de Datos Textuales de producciones escritas de estudiantes universitarios ingresantes y avanzados de una carrera de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario, Argentina. El análisis se enfocó en los recursos lingüísticos (verbos, marcadores discursivos, cantidad y diversidad de palabras, segmentos). Adicionalmente, esto fue considerado en función de variables descriptivas: presencia de información gráfica adicional, uso de información, momento de cursado, posición valorativa y tipo de texto logrado. Los resultados indican escaso uso de marcadores discursivos argumentativos; utilización de palabras proporcionadas para argumentar (sin incluir palabras nuevas); uso frecuente de verbos específicos; influencia de la información adicional en la estructura argumentativa/contraargumentativa pero no en la mayor diversidad y cantidad de palabras. Se destaca la importancia de este análisis porque rescata el carácter dialógico de la argumentación y la singularidad del escrito y su contexto.

Authors: Prada Arias Arlin Yisela , Trujillo Rodríguez Marly Alexandra , Herrera Mosquera Leonardo
Published: April 2022

This research paper seeks to determine the connection between language learning engagement (LLE) and critical literacy in 34 ninth-grade students from a public high school in Caquetá, Colombia. A Participatory Action Research study was conducted, consisting of group interviews, questionnaires, and student artifacts. Students’ experiences of local social and environmental issues informed the critical literacy practice to provide learners with tools to examine problems occurring in their community. The findings emerging from this research suggest that the practice of critical literacy engages students in learning from the cognitive, social, and emotional dimensions. This critical approach plays a pivotal role in activating students’ motivation to persevere with language learning and tackle learning-related difficulties.
Una aproximación a los fitónimos en lengua tikuna desde la perspectiva terminológica
Authors: Rodríguez Bermúdez Melisa , Giraldo Ortiz John Jairo
Published: April 2022

El presente trabajo es una aproximación al estudio terminológico de la fitonimia tikuna. En concreto, se plantea un diseño metodológico desarrollado a partir de la Teoría Comunicativa de la Terminología (TCT). Gracias a este enfoque, insertado en la lingüística aplicada, se llega a dos resultados principalmente. Por un lado, se conforma una BDT (Base de Datos Terminológicos) monolingüe con 206 fitónimos en español con equivalentes en tikuna y en latín (nombre científico) y, por otro lado, se logra una descripción cualitativa y cuantitativa de los fitónimos recogidos en la BDT. Así, esta propuesta supone la observación de diferentes fenómenos, como préstamos a lenguas aborígenes, neología, variación dialectal, etc., los cuales son a su vez de interés terminológico, en particular, y de interés lingüístico, en general.
Caracterización de textos expositivo-explicativos empleados en la fundamentación lingüística de estudiantes de pregrado

Published: April 2022

Se reportan los resultados de una investigación en la cual se analizan textos empleados en la fundamentación lingüística de estudiantes de pregrado. Se examinaron textos provenientes de los paradigmas estructuralista, generativista y enunciativo (discursivo). Se diseñó una matriz de análisis que registra información en tres dimensiones: semántica, retórico-explicativa y cognitiva. Se estableció que los textos comportan preferentemente secuencias explicativas y, dentro de ellas, se dedica más atención a la resolución del problema de estudio. La estrategia discursiva más frecuente es la aseveración, seguida por la ejemplificación y la cita de autor. En cuanto a la referencia cognitiva, en los textos del estructuralismo y del generativismo se presenta un equilibrio entre la simbolista y la experiencialista; en los del paradigma enunciativo (discursivo) se acude preferentemente a la referencia simbólica. La propuesta brinda puntos de partida para caracterizar este tipo de textos y examinar la incidencia de sus propiedades en los procesos de comprensión lectora.
Las teleseries como corpus para el estudio sociopragmático del diminutivo en español
Authors: Hu Jingyuan
Published: April 2022

El diminutivo, cuyo contenido conceptual y valor pragmático se encuentra mucho más allá de la mera referencia al concepto de ‘pequeño’, es un complejo fenómeno gramatical y pragmático muy utilizado en la lengua española. A través de un corpus oral formado por las teleseries en el último lustro (2014-2019) en España, México, Colombia, Argentina y Chile, se ha analizado este fenómeno desde un punto de vista morfológico, pragmático y sociolingüístico. En la confección del corpus, se ha tenido en cuenta la factibilidad de utilizar los medios audiovisuales como corpus de referencia en cuanto a la inmediatez, la distancia comunicativa y la oralidad simuladora; también se han tomado en consideración el criterio de delimitación de las zonas de habla hispana y la teoría sobre el estudio de interacción comunicativa. El resultado, fruto del análisis de este corpus, refleja la característica multifuncional y la variedad sociolectal y generacional del diminutivo, además de constatar su capacidad de adjuntarse a diferentes categorías léxicas. Por lo que respecta a los aspectos socioculturales del diminutivo, en cuanto a las variables de sexo, y se ha observado respectivamente una ligera predominancia en favor del sexo femenino y de un estrato socioeconómico inferior. Con respecto a la edad, se ha mostrado un equilibrio entre diferentes generaciones.

Authors: Oliveira Sandra Márcia Carvalho de , Leite Wagner da Silva
Published: April 2022

Objetivos: Avaliar a prevalência do uso de tabaco, a exposição ao fumo passivo e a motivação para a cessação do tabagismo entre estudantes de medicina da Universidade Federal do Acre (UFAC). Métodos: Neste estudo transversal, observacional, descritivo e analítico, foi aplicado um questionário baseado no Global Health Professions Student Survey, assim como o teste de Fagerström. A análise estatística foi feita utilizando-se o Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) versão 20, o teste do qui-quadrado de Pearson, o teste exato de Fisher e análise de variância (ANOVA). Resultados: Dos 186 alunos entrevistados, 156 (83,9%) nunca fumaram, 171 são não fumantes e 15 (8,1%) se declararam fumantes (com uma média de 6,06 cigarros/dia). O teste de Fagerström revelou dependência baixa. A prevalência de exposição ao fumo passivo foi de 28,0%. A maior parte (59,7%) dos entrevistados era do sexo masculino. A idade média foi 24,24 anos (desvio padrão = 3,80 anos), sendo que a maioria (87,1%) possuía entre 20 e 30 anos de idade. A média da idade da primeira tentativa de fumar foi de 16,72 anos. Em 7,0% (n = 13), o uso de outros produtos do tabaco fumado esteve presente. Mais da metade (53,3%) dos fumadores tentaram deixar de fumar. Destes, 13,3% consideram não necessitar de ajuda profissional para abandonar o tabaco. Conclusão: A maioria (99,5%) dos entrevistados reconheceu o tabagismo como doença, e 90% consideraram importante o seu papel de exemplo de não fumador para seus pacientes e a sociedade.

Published: April 2022

Human Adenovirus (HADV) is classified in Adenoviridae family, it is important viral pathogen of respiratory tract infection (RTIs) among children. This study aimed at detecting HADV infections among hospitalized children under 10 years old with respiratory tract infections in Salahaldin Governorate, in addition to compare different diagnostic methods for the detection of this virus. Nasopharyngel Swabs (NPS) and whole blood samples were taken from 400 hospitalized children between end of August 2013, to the end of May 2014, each sample was analyzed for HADV by real time –PCR, IgM and IgG specific to HADV determining from blood specimens in serum using Enzyme Immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) technique. Nasopharyngel Swab was more sensitive than the whole blood specimens for the detection of HADV and was identified in 3% by RT-PCR, in 72.2% by IgM – HADV antibodies, 83.1% by IgG-HADV antibodies. Autumn – Spring periods were considered as the most common time for HADV infection with peak in September and February
Saturação Venosa Central de Oxigênio em relação à Sepse: revisão integrativa de literatura
Authors: Oliveira Ana Beatriz de Almeida , Oliveira Carla Resende Vaz , Reis Bruno Cezario Costa
Published: April 2022

Objetivo: Revisar a literatura sobre o uso da saturação venosa e central de oxigênio na sepse. Métodos: Tratou-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura na base de dados: PubMed. Os critérios de inclusão consistiram em artigos publicados nos últimos cinco anos, nos idiomas inglês, espanhol e português, que abordassem a temática proposta. Excluíram-se estudos de revisão, teses, dissertações, artigos repetidos e que não correspondiam ao tema.  Resultados: Após o levantamento dos artigos através dos bancos de dados e seguindo os critérios de inclusão pré-estabelecidos, obtivemos um total de 32 estudos que foram lidos na íntegra. Apenas 15 foram utilizados e os resultados estão expostos em quadro. Considerações finais: Observou-se que a saturação venosa de oxigênio em pacientes críticos apresenta um valor diagnóstico, terapêutico e prognóstico. Não há nenhum argumento fisiológico para atingir valores específicos de SvO2 onde a otimização de um a três dos quatro componentes de SvO2 pode produzir uma dependência clara com o quarto. Vários estudos randomizados recentes falharam em mostrar qualquer melhora na sobrevida desses pacientes apesar de demonstrarem o seu benefício na sepse.
