Pacta Sunt Servanda: Legal Dynamics in Indonesian Context
Authors: Cahyo Yoga Tri , Kurnianingsih Marisa
Published: November 2023

This article discusses the role of the Pacta Sunt Servanda principle in loan agreements, particularly in the context of a court decision related to the breach of contract by PT BPR Suryamas Surakarta. The principle asserts that an agreement is binding as law to the parties involved and is utilized by judges as a consideration in court. The article aims to analyze the correlation of this principle with the judge's considerations in the context of breach of contract and evaluate the judge's perspective from the standpoint of legal utility. The research employs a normative juridical method through a literature review, using secondary data such as legal regulations and relevant literature. The results indicate that the Pacta Sunt Servanda principle plays a crucial role as a basis for judicial consideration, evident in the court decision that punishes the defendants according to the agreed-upon contract. While legal certainty predominates, the happiness of the parties involved, and the public is also a consideration for the judge. This decision, though emphasizing legal certainty, essentially contributes to the happiness of all parties involved and the community. Artikel ini mendiskusikan peran Asas Pacta Sunt Servanda dalam perjanjian pinjam meminjam, terutama dalam konteks putusan hakim terkait wanprestasi PT BPR Suryamas Surakarta. Asas ini menegaskan bahwa perjanjian berlaku sebagai undang-undang bagi pihak yang membuatnya, dan digunakan oleh hakim sebagai pertimbangan dalam pengadilan. Artikel bertujuan menganalisis korelasi asas tersebut dengan pertimbangan hakim dalam konteks wanprestasi, serta mengevaluasi pertimbangan hakim dari perspektif kemanfaatan hukum. Metode yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif melalui studi kepustakaan, dengan data sekunder berupa peraturan perundang-undangan dan literatur terkait. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa Asas Pacta Sunt Servanda memiliki peranan penting sebagai dasar pertimbangan hakim, tergambar dalam amar putusan yang menghukum tergugat sesuai perjanjian. Meskipun aspek kepastian hukum mendominasi, kebahagiaan pihak terlibat dan masyarakat secara umum juga menjadi pertimbangan hakim. Putusan ini, meskipun lebih menonjolkan kepastian hukum, pada intinya menciptakan kebahagiaan bagi semua pihak terlibat dan masyarakat.
Investigation of Interactions Between Tetracycline Antibiotics and Bromelain Enzyme Using Docking Tools
Authors: AYLAZ Gülgün
Published: November 2023

Bromelain, extracted from the stem of the pineapple, is a complex enzyme used for different purposes. Bromelain supplements are often used to facilitate digestion, improve the circulatory system and relieve arthritis symptoms due to its pain relief. However, in some cases where there is a risk of antibiotic use or bleeding, the use of bromelain or direct consumption of pineapple should be limited. For this purpose, this study was carried out to show the mechanism by which the antibiotic bromelain interaction occurs. Firstly, the bromelain molecule and demeclocycline, minocycline, and tetracycline antibiotics were prepared in the UCSF Chimera visualizing program. The interactions were monitored in the Auto Dock Molecular Modelling Toolkit molecular modeling program. The free binding energies of these interactions were also calculated in Auto Dock. According the molecular modelling results, bromelain and demeclocycline, minocycline, tetracycline antibiotics were interact with hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. These interactions between bromelain and antibiotics were energetically favorable based on free binding energy calculations.

Orthodontic Treatment
Authors: Chauhan Nitasha , Kumar Mohit , Chaurasia Simran , Garg Yogesh , Chopra Shruti , Bhatia Amit
Published: November 2023

Orthodontic treatment typically requires an extended duration of 1-2 years to complete the treatment.
Accelerating the rate of tooth movement during orthodontic treatment is essential for shortening the
overall treatment duration. After the completion of orthodontic treatment, a prominent concern arises in the
form of orthodontic relapse, where the teeth tend to revert to their original positions. This issue affects approximately
60% of the global population, underscoring the importance of implementing effective measures to address
orthodontic relapse. An approach in this regard involves the targeted administration of herbal and synthetic
drugs applied directly to the specific area of interest to facilitate tooth movement and prevent orthodontic
relapse. Apart from this, researchers are investigating the feasibility of utilizing different types of nanoparticles
to improve the process of orthodontic tooth movement. In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase
in the number of studies examining the effects of various drugs on orthodontics. However, the currently
available literature does not provide significant evidence relating to orthodontic tooth movement. In this review,
the authors provide valuable information about the drugs and nanomaterials that are capable of further
enhancing the rate of orthodontic tooth movement and reducing the risk of orthodontic relapse. However, a
notable hurdle remains, i.e., there is no marketed formulation available that can enhance orthodontic tooth
movement and reduce treatment time. Therefore, researchers should try herbal-synthetic approaches to achieve
a synergistic effect that can enhance orthodontic tooth movement. In this nutshell, there is an urgent need to develop
a non-invasive, patient-compliant, and cost-effective formulation that will provide quality treatment and
ultimately reduce the treatment time. Another critical issue is orthodontic relapse, which can be addressed by
employing drugs that slow down osteoclastogenesis, thereby preventing tooth movement after treatment. Nevertheless,
extensive research is still required to overcome this challenge in the future.
Drug-containing Serum of Quyoufang Promotes Apoptosis of Ectocervical H8 Cells through an E6/p53-related Pathway
Authors: Huang Shan , Chen Xiaofeng , Qi Yuanjie , Xiao Jing
Published: November 2023

Background:

Persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a causative agent for
the majority of cervical cancer cases. The traditional Chinese medicine formula Quyoufang (QYF),
a herbal oral decoction therapy, has been widely applied in the treatment of various diseases caused
by HPV infection, but the molecular mechanism of QYF in the treatment of HPV infection remains
unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of drug-containing serum of QYF on the apoptosis
of HPV16-positive cervical immortalized epithelial cell line H8 in vitro.

Methods:

Different concentrations of medicated serum were obtained by feeding QYF into the
stomachs of rats. The effects of medicated serum on H8 cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected
using the cell counting kit-8 assay (CCK-8) method, flow cytometry, and Hoechst 33342/PI
apoptosis assays. The different expressions of E6, E7, p53, and pRb among H8 cells were detected
by RT-PCR and Western Blot.

Results:

The results firstly indicated that the drug-containing serum of QYF induced apoptosis
and suppressed the proliferation of H8 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. RT-PCR and
Western Blot unveiled that in contrast to the control group, the QYF groups could markedly elevate
the mRNA expression of P53 and pRb as well as promote the expression of p53 and pRb
protein levels. The QYF groups suppressed the expression of E6 mRNA and inhibited the expression
of E6 protein.

Conclusion:

The drug-containing serum of QYF could effectively inhibit the proliferation of H8
cells and induce their apoptosis, possibly through the E6/p53-related pathway

Introduction::

Appropriate care and treatment of a wound is the need of the hour whether it
is an infected or a non-infected wound. If wound healing is delayed for some reason, it leads to serious
complications and further increases the hospital stay and cost of treatment. Herein, we describe a
novel antimicrobial wound dressing formulation (VG111), with an objective to generate the preliminary
data showing the distinct advantages in various types of wounds.

Method::

This case series involved the treatment of acute cases of wounds or chronic wounds that did
not respond well to conventional wound healing treatments with VG111 in patients with different
etiologies. Thirteen cases of patients that included patients with diabetes, pressure ulcers, burns,
trauma, and others treated with VG111 showed rapid wound healing in all the cases even obviating
the need for a graft when complete skin regeneration occurred.

Result::

This was illustrated by clearing of the wound infections, reduction/disappearance of the exudate,
appearance of intense granulation, epithelialization, and anti-biofilm activity followed by complete
wound closure. This VG111 precludes the need for systemic antimicrobial agents in localized
infections and therefore, this single agent is an attempt to address the limitations and the drawbacks
of the available products.

Conclusion::

Despite patients belonging to the old age group and having comorbidities like diabetes,
still VG111 showed effective rapid wound healing, and that too without any scar formation in hardto-
heal, infected, and non-infected wounds.
Effect of Low Heat Steam Sterilization on the Volumetric Stability of Three Different 3D Printing Materials for Dental Implant Surgical Templates: An in vitro Study
Authors: Tachmatzidis Theodoros , Fotopoulos Ioannis , Lillis Theodoros , Kapagiannidis Ioannis , Dabarakis Nikolaos
Published: November 2023

Background:

Computer-guided surgical templates are considered critical instruments and are proposed to be sterilized before surgery. However, steam heat sterilization process may result in volumetric changes in the acrylic resin materials and this may compromise the accuracy of the drilling process during surgery.

Objective:

The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of steam heat sterilization on the volumetric and morphological dimensions of 3D printed surgical guides that could affect the accuracy of guided implant surgery.

Methods:

A total of fifteen templates of the same size and shape were printed from three different resin materials (five templates from each material) based on digital data of a clinical case previously planned with a special implant planning software. Following the printing procedure, all templates were digitally scanned using an intraoral scanner before and after steam heat sterilization at 121°C for 20 minutes. The scan data were saved in STL files and volumetric and morphological changes were evaluated before and after sterilization process by using appropriate software. Results: The results showed dimensional alterations within the three tested materials, before and after the sterilization process. Mean percentage of volumetric change was -1.53% for Visijet, 0.50% for MED610 and 1.9% for eResin. A larger deformation of the surgical guides at the sleeve and buccal wire areas was also observed.

Conclusion:

We can conclude that low steam heat sterilization seems to affect differently the three investigated implant template materials. Visijet and eResin showed a significant difference between the initial and the final volume of the surgical guides. This could possibly decrease the accuracy of computer guided surgery.

Cancer
Authors: Yansong Liang , Juan Wang , Hongtao Zhang , Zezhou Liu , Xiaohua Su , Huanfen Zhao , Rongmei Zhao , Jianqi Yin
Published: November 2023

Objective:

The aim of this study is to explore the safety and efficacy of iodine-125
seeds interstitial brachytherapy (PISI-BT) for patients aged 80 and above with early primary
high-risk non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC).

Methods:

In this retrospective single-center study, we collected and analyzed data from patients
≥ 80 years of age with early primary high-risk NMSC treated with PISI-BT between December
2003 and May 2020. Survival status, efficacy, adverse effects (AEs), cosmetic outcomes, and
treatment cost were analyzed (data cut-off: November 20th, 2021).

Results:

Only 9 patients met the inclusion criteria (median age, 86 years (81-90)). Five patients
had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 1, and allthe patients had at least
one comorbidity. Six patients showed complete responseand three showed partial response,
while none had stable or progressive disease. No recurrences, disease persistence, or AEs were
detected during the follow-up period. After a median follow-up of 29.3 months (3-99), only two
patients were alive, but the cause of death in the remaining patients was not related to NMSC.
The cosmetic outcomes were excellent and good in two and four patients, respectively, while
could not be evaluated in three patients. The cost (which was within the scope of medical insurance
reimbursement) was acceptable.

Conclusion:

PISI-BT could be an alternative treatment option in patients above 80 years old
with early primary high-risk NMSC and comorbidities.

Published: November 2023

Objectives:

To investigate the association between dental anxiety and birth order among children seeking dental treatment at King Abdulaziz University Dental Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Methods:

A total sample of 306 children aged 6-12 years were enrolled in a cross-sectional descriptive study. Demographic background data on the family and childbirth order were collected using a validated questionnaire. The Abeer dental anxiety scale (ADAS) was used to assess the dental anxiety level, while the Frankl scale was used to assess behavior during dental treatment. Binary Regression analysis was carried out to evaluate the effect of sociodemographic factors on the child’s anxiety and behavior according to the ADAS and Frankl scale, respectively.

Results:

The childbirth order had a significant effect on the anxiety score (
p<0.0001). The ADAS score in middle-born children was statistically significantly lower than that of only children, first-borns and last-borns (
p=0.018). Further, there was a statistically significant effect of childbirth order on behavior according to the Frankl scale (
p<0.0001).

Conclusion:

The presence of siblings and childbirth order are significant indicators of children’s behavior and anxiety during dental treatment. This study provides valuable information that can help pediatric dentists plan behavior management for children.

Authors: Hedari Donya Jalil , Kukreja Bhavna Jha , Ramachandra Srinivas Sulugodu , Reddy Sesha , D’souza Jovita , Abdelmagyd Hossam
Published: November 2023

Background:

In terms of health treatment and subjects, dental implants have evolved as a standard therapy to solve different complications regarding the retention and stability of dentures for edentulous patients. Although dental implant techniques have been utilized in medically compromised patients, scientific evidence is unclear on the feasibility of implants among these patients. Adequate planning and precautions should be exercised as risks are enhanced among these patients.

Objective:

The primary objective of this work was to provide a brief overview of contraindications, precautions, and guidelines for the use of dental implants among medically compromised patients.

Methodology:

A literature search was performed for published articles within the range 2011-2021 published in English in PubMed, Medline, and OVID Medline databases using the terms Dental Implants, medically compromised patients, treatment plan, and implant survival.

Results:

A total of 23 studies were assessed. There are several studies that have mentioned radiotherapy as a critical risk factor “associated with the frequency of dental implant loss.” On the other hand, it has illustrated that metabolic changes have mainly occurred in diabetic patients. It has been determined that implant survival can be lower in a few disorders. Additionally, risks and complications among medically compromised patients have been noted.

Conclusion:

The study suggests that the psychosocial and functional benefits of an “implant restoration ” are the documented relative risks related to the common medical condition as well as their respective treatments. The assessment of the overall risk factors with the patient's education about the risk needs to be done in order to make perfect intervention strategies.

Shortening food supply chain in home-grown school feeding: experiences and lessons from south central China
Authors: Liu Xinghua , Liu Chengfang , Bi Jieying
Published: November 2023

Both home-grown school feeding (HGSF) and short food supply chain (SFSC) emphasize on proximity and aim to strengthen the competitiveness of local smallholder farmers. From a theoretical perspective, HGSF implemented as a type of SFSC could help deliver synergies. A pivotal question is how HGSF can be combined with SFSC and the benefits and drawbacks of such combination. Using an HGSF program which was implemented as an integral part of a free preschool lunch pilot in South Central China, this paper shows that HGSF and SFSC (in its full term) could be combined through one structured demand intervention. This study uses both qualitative and quantitative materials. Qualitative data were collected through focus group discussions with government and preschool staff, parents or caregivers, cooks, World Food Programme representatives and other stakeholders involved in the pilot program. The quantitative part used both small panel data and cross-sectional data from 106 smallholders. This study analyzes the design, implementation, good practices, benefits and constraints of the HGSF-SFSC model. We find that direct purchase from smallholder farmers was linked with higher income and production and dietary diversity. Moreover, this study identifies several constraints of the current HGSF-SFSC model. The policy implications for sustaining and scaling up the current pilot are discussed in the paper.

Authors: Nawindah Nawindah , Savitri Setiawati Intan , Wulandari Retno
Published: November 2023

Mental health is a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with stresses, develop their capabilities, perform well in school or work settings, and contribute to their communities. However, mental health problems among adolescents and early adults are high, with an estimated 12 million cases worldwide. Not to mention that access to mental health professionals is still limited, as they are generally only available in big hospitals or health centers. Thus, mental health understanding and access to mental health professionals are major problems. The aim of this study was to examine adolescents’ understanding of mental health and develop a mental help self-screening assessment tool based on the Smart-Senyum application. The mental health self-screening application was adapted from the Self-Report Questionnaire, which was translated into Indonesian and validated for the adolescent age group in Indonesia. The population and sample of this study were adolescents aged 15 – 18 years (N = 36; M-age =16.3), who were students of the learning center Sanggar Kegiatan Belajar (SKB) 26 Bintaro, West Jakarta. The results showed that there was an increase in 5-pointers in understanding mental health. It was also found that 40% of the students showed symptoms of non-psychotic mental problems and 60% of the students were in a mentally healthy condition. The conclusion of the study, that early screening youth mental health is important and need further research as program implementation to prevent mental disorder

Authors: Frame Kara A. , Fortenberry Katherine T. , Cochella Susan , Sanyer Osman , Taylor Eliza , Ose Dominik , Stoesser Kirsten
Published: November 2023

Background: Virtual recruitment for all residency programs was endorsed by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) for the 2021 and 2022 recruitment seasons. This study assesses the impact of virtual recruitment on cost and outcome in a family medicine residency program.
Methods: We assessed program recruitment costs and interview-day time with applicants in one program for the 2019 to 2022 recruitment seasons, and we sent an anonymous survey to interviewed applicants (n=98) for the 2022 match year.  In-person interviews were conducted in 2019 and 2020. Virtual interviews were conducted in 2021 and 2022.
Results: Program recruitment costs decreased from over $70,000 annually for in-person interview seasons to between $10,000 and $20,000 annually for the virtual interview years. Applicant time with the program on interview days decreased from 515 minutes when held in-person, to 345 minutes when virtual. Applicants expressed that they were generally satisfied with the virtual interview format though their preference for the virtual format was only slightly greater than for in-person interviews (38.6% and 35.1%, respectively); 26.3% of the responding applicants had no preference for either format. During virtual interview years, applicants interviewed at an average of 16.6 programs with 80% indicating that virtual interviews allowed for consideration of more programs.
Conclusion: The virtual interview format was associated with decreased interview-day costs for programs and interviewees, and decreased time on interview days for both groups. It allowed applicants to consider more programs.
Large-amplitude Inertia Gravity Waves over Syowa Station: Comparison of PANSY Radar and ERA5 Reanalysis Data
Authors: Yoshida Lihito , Tomikawa Yoshihiro , Ejiri Mitsumu K. , Tsutsumi Masaki , Kohma Masashi , Sato Kaoru
Published: November 2023

We examined large-amplitude inertia gravity waves (GWs) over Syowa
Station, Antarctica, comparing PANSY radar data and ERA5 reanalysis from
October 2015 to September 2016. Focusing on large-amplitude events with
a large absolute momentum flux (AMF), hodograph analysis was applied to
estimate the wave parameters and found that the percentage of these
waves with a downward phase velocity increased with altitude. Vertical
wavelengths shortened, intrinsic periods lengthened, and horizontal
wavelengths became longer with increasing altitude. Southward
propagation of GWs was predominant in the stratosphere. Compared to a
previous study, the wave parameters’ altitude variation remained
consistent, but horizontal and vertical wavelengths were longer in this
study. ERA5 underestimated AMF by about 1/5 between 5 and 12.5 km, with
a larger underestimation at higher altitudes. The underestimation was
related to the power spectra of horizontal and vertical winds,
particularly vertical winds. The greater underestimation in the
stratosphere might be due to ERA5’s vertical grid spacing and shorter
vertical wavelengths of dominant GWs.
Zircon xenocrysts from Easter Island (Rapa Nui) reveal hotspot activity since the middle Jurassic

The 0–2.5 Ma volcanism in Easter Island (Rapa Nui) emerges just east of
the East Pacific Rise on young (Pliocene, 3–4.8 Ma) ocean floor. Here,
we report the finding of mantle-derived zircon grains retrieved from
Easter Island beach sands and red soils that are much older than the
Easter Island volcanism and its underlying lithosphere. A large
population of 0–165 Myr old zircons have coherent oxygen (δ18O(zircon)
3.8– 5.9‰) and hafnium mantle isotopic signatures (εHf(t) +3.5–+12.5).
These results are consistent with the crystallization of zircon from
plume-related melts. In addition, a chemically diverse population with
ages as old as Precambrian was also found. We thus suggest that the
Easter hotspot started at least ~165 Ma ago. A large
population of ~160-164 Ma zircons could signal an
intense initial massive melting phase associated with the formation of a
Large Igneous Province (LIP) upon the first arrival of the plume. We use
plate reconstructions to show that such a LIP would have formed on the
Phoenix Plate. It would have subducted below the Antarctic Peninsula
around 100-105 Ma, offering a solution for the enigmatic Palmer Land
deformation event, previously proposed to result from a collision with
an unknown indenter. Our findings show that asthenospheric
mantle-derived xenocryst zircon cargo, as recently reported from
Galápagos, may not be an exception. The here-reported “ghost” of a
prolonged hotspot activity suggests that the Easter hotspot and the
sub-lithospheric mantle in which it is entrained remained
mantle-stationary for at least 165 Ma.
How are online and face-to-face psychotherapy perceived by clients? A metaphor analysis
Authors: Yılmaz Tuğba , Bekaroğlu Ece
Published: November 2023

Studies about online psychotherapy have gained momentum as the coronavirus pandemic has had an impact on conducting them face to face. The effectiveness and therapeutic alliance in online psychotherapy have been examined and sometimes compared with face-to-face psychotherapy. In these studies, it was seen that mainly quantitative methods were used. Exploratory qualitative research is needed to refine the literature on online psychotherapy. For this purpose, in this study, data obtained from clients who received face-to-face or online psychotherapy were analyzed using the metaphor analysis method, which is one of the descriptive phenomenological approaches. According to the data obtained from 116 people, nine different categories of metaphors related to online and face-to-face psychotherapy were obtained. The most frequent metaphors about online psychotherapy belonged to categories of convenience, artificiality, similarity to face-to-face psychotherapy, and ineffectiveness. The frequent metaphors about face-to-face psychotherapy belonged to categories of contact, effectiveness, reality, and difficulty. When the participants were divided into two groups according to their age, the opinions about online psychotherapy differed in the two age groups. Similarly, the opinions of people who received psychotherapy with different methods differed for the online psychotherapy. Clinical implications and limitations were discussed.

Objective: To determine whether type 1 diabetes and its complications are associated with bone geometry and microarchitecture.

Research Design and Methods: Cross-sectional study embedded in a long-term observational study. High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) scans of distal radius and distal and diaphyseal tibia were performed in a subset of 183 type 1 diabetes participants from the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (DCCT/EDIC) and 94 controls without diabetes. HbA1c, skin advanced glycation end products (AGEs), and diabetes-related complications were assessed in EDIC participants with >30 years of follow-up.

Results: Compared to controls (60±8 years-old, 65% female), EDIC participants (60±7 years-old, diabetes duration 38±5 years, 51% female) had lower total bone mineral density (BMD) at distal radius (-7.9%, 95%CI:(-15.2%,-0.6%), p=0.030) and distal tibia (-11.3%, 95%CI:(-18.5%,-4.2%), p=0.001); larger total area at all sites (distal radius +4.7%, 95%CI:(+0.5%,+8.8%), p=0.030; distal tibia +5.9%, 95%CI:(+2.1%,+9.8%), p=0.003; diaphyseal tibia +3.4%, 95%CI (+0.8%,+6.1%), p=0.011); and poorer radius trabecular and cortical microarchitecture. Estimated failure load was similar between two groups. Among EDIC, higher HbA1c, AGE and macroalbuminuria were associated with lower total BMD. Macroalbuminuria was associated with larger total area and lower cortical thickness at distal radius. Higher HbA1c and AGE, lower glomerular filtration rate, peripheral neuropathy and retinopathy were associated with deficits in trabecular microarchitecture.

Conclusions: Type 1 diabetes is associated with lower BMD, larger bone area and poorer trabecular microarchitecture. Among 1 diabetes, suboptimal glycemic control, AGE accumulation and microvascular complications are associated with deficits in bone microarchitecture and lower BMD.
Inntekt og helse

Selv i land med relativ lav inntektsulikhet og omfattende offentlige helseordninger er det betydelige forskjeller i helseutfall mellom personer med høy og lav inntekt. For eksempel har personer med høyere inntekt atskillig høyere forventet levealder og mindre kroniske sykdommer enn de med lav inntekt. Selv om dette fenomenet har vært dokumentert i en rekke studier, er de underliggende årsakene i stor grad ukjent. Denne artikkelen diskuterer mulige forklaringer basert på tidligere studier – både virkning av inntekt på helse og motsatt. Vi belyser også eksterne faktorer som kan påvirke både inntekt og helse samtidig. Utover å presentere data fra tidligere studier gjort på norske data, presenteres nye tall for korrelasjonen mellom husholdningsinntekt og helseutfall basert på tall fra norske levekårsundersøkelser. Tallene som presenteres gir grunn til å konkludere med at forskjellene i helse etter inntekt er store i Norge, og at sammenhengen mellom inntekt og helse oppstår allerede tidlig i barndommen.
