Beneficial effect of SPE-ZnO nanoparticles against hepato-renal toxicity and oxidative stress induced by fluoride in wistar rats
Authors: Djouadi Anfal
Published: November 2022

Our study aimed to investigate the effect of ZnNPs formulated by spinach extract (SPE-ZnNPs) fluoride induced hepato-renal toxicity in rats. 18 male rats were divided into three groups (n=6); Control, NaF and NaF + SPE-ZnNPs. various biological parameters and histopathological analysis were estimated. Phytochemical of spinach and characterizations of ZnNPs were analyzed using standard technics. Results show that the plant is rich in active substances and ZnNPs were formulated with a size of up to 30 nanometers, which is proven by the Uv-VIS, FTIR and SEM results. Results show that NaF exposed induce an alteration in hemato-biochemical parameters, and hepato-renal oxidative stress and histopathological alteration. However, SPEZnNPs’ administration to NaF rats resulted in a partial improvement and correction of the prior parameters. Use of SPE-ZnNPs appears to be the main preventative measure against fluoride poisoning and the oxidative stress it causes.
Molecule detection of vancomycin resistant Enterococci in chicken
Authors: Al-Lami Sahar A. D.
Published: November 2022

Enterococci are normal inhabitants of the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals, found in soil, water and food. The current study aimed to determine the occurrence and antibiotic resistance of some Enterococcus isolates recovered from chicken. A total of 200 cloacal swabs were collected from some chicken flocks including broilers and layers flocks (100 samples per each). The obtained results clarified that the overall isolation rate of Enterococci in the examined chicken flocks was 15%, while it was 11 and 19% in broilers and layers, respectively. Only 5 isolates were found positive for presence of vanA gene representative for Vancomycin resistant Enterococci by PCR. Finally, it was concluded that the vancomycin resistant E. faecalis constitutes one of the most predominant Enterococcus spp. among chickens. Thus, the prevention and control programs of Enterococcus should be focused to control these species.
Potential of probiotics in improving sarcopenic muscle targeting ‘Gut-Muscle Axis’ through gut microbiota : A solution for healthy aging.
Authors: Arora Rajni , Sharma Sushma
Published: November 2022

Sarcopenia is a geriatric condition of a skeletal muscle with its major hallmarks of myofiber atrophy, hypoplasia, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction and insulin insensitivity resulting in poor locomotor ability. Gut microbiota improves the sarcopenic muscle condition in different ways and the “Gut-muscle axis” has an important role to play in muscle health. Akt1, mTOR, and FoxO signal pathways check imbalance in the levels of signal molecules like IGF-1, insulin, etc. Microbial metabolites like SCFA released by gut microbiota modulate age-related changes through these signal pathways. The optimal concentration of gut microbiota composition impacts protein synthesis in the muscle and reduces inflammation. The present review focuses on the promising potential of probiotics in tackling sarcopenia by replenishing and modulating aging gut microbiota and enhancing their functionality thus moderating muscle atrophy. As most of the work is reported on animal models, it is suggested that well-controlled human intervention studies using advanced techniques of metagenomic and metatranscriptomic will throw more light on interactions between probiotics and gut microbiota in sarcopenic conditions which can be corroborated by the biochemical and histochemical analysis of muscle. Probiotics derived from the gut microbiota or customized Next Generation Probiotics (NGP) may be considered a more novel and fruitful strategy to address sarcopenia for healthy aging in the future.
Umbilical spider’s web
Authors: Bourseau S , Bastens B , Leclercq P
Published: November 2022

Question: We report the case of a 38y old woman who consulted for chronic diffuse abdominal pain related to previous irritable bowel syndrome diagnosis. Physical examination showed nonblanching reddish hyperpigmented reticular peri-umbilical skin patch (figure 1). What’s your diagnosis?

Answer: The diagnosis of erythema ab igne was made. Additional investigations confirmed repeated use of hot water bottles applied on abdominal wall for 3 weeks overnight for pain relief. Erythema ab igne is a pathognomonic cutaneous presentation of long-lasting exposure to heat sources (1). The pathophysiology of erythema ab igne remains uncertain. It has been suggested that heat exposure damages dermal vascular plexus and subsequent hemosiderin deposition leading to spider’s web-like hyperpigmentation. Differential diagnosis of peri -umbilical dermatological manifestations includes digestive-related entities as caput medusae’s sign (related to portal hypertension), Cullen’s sign or Walzel’s sign (related to acute pancreatitis); and non-digestive-related entities such as livedo reticularis (2). Erythema ab igne is well known from the dermatologists, mostly located on the lower limbs due to prolonged close exposition to heaters or on thighs due to laptop batteries (3). Erythema ab igne is usually of benign course, most often self-resolving after heat exposure discontinuation (3). We believe that it is of paramount to take into consideration the patients’ pain and to propose an adapted management to avoid self-treatment.

Published: November 2022

Acute pancreatitis can be complicated with necrosis of the pancreatic or peripancreatic tissue. This necrosis can become liquified and form a well-defined wall (walled-off necrosis or WON) and can become infected and form abscesses. Necrotizing soft tissue infections are rare infections of the deep tissue and subcutaneous fat and are mostly caused by trauma or perforated visceral organs. They can, however, rarely be caused by infected retroperitoneal collections. To date only 3 case reports have been published of a necrotizing soft tissue infection complicating a necrotizing pancreatitis. Both acute, complicated pancreatitis and necrotizing soft tissue infections carry a high mortality and morbidity rate with surgery being the mainstay therapy for the latter, often leaving the patient disfigured. We report the case of a 62-year-old man presenting to the emergency department with a painful and erythematous rash of the upper leg as complication of an acute necrotizing pancreatitis.
Impact of aerosol optics on vertical distribution of ozone

Published: November 2022

Abstract. Tropospheric ozone, an important secondary pollutant, is greatly impacted by aerosols within boundary layer (BL). Previous studies have mainly attributed ozone variation to either aerosol-BL or aerosol-photolysis interactions at near surface. In this study, we analyze the sensitivities of ozone response to aerosol mixing states (e.g., mixing behaviour hypothesis of scattering and absorbing components) in the vertical direction and address the effects of aerosol-BL and aerosol-photolysis interactions on ozone profiles by WRF-Chem simulations. The aerosol internal mixing state experiment reasonably reproduces the vertical distribution and time variation of meteorological elements and ozone. Sensitive experiments show that aerosols lead to turbulent suppression, precursor accumulation, lower-level photolysis reduction and upper-level photolysis enhancement. Consequently, ozone basically decreases within entire BL during daytime (08:00~17:00), and the decrease is the least in external mixing state (0.6 %) compared with internal (9.8 %) and core-shell mixing states (7.4 %). The photolysis enhancement is the most significant in external mixing state due to its strong scattering ability. By process analysis, lower-level ozone chemical loss is enhanced due to photolysis reduction and NOX accumulation under VOC-limited regime. Upper-level ozone chemical production is accelerated due to higher photolysis rate resulting from aerosol backscattering. Therefore, the increased ozone entrainment from aloft BL to surface induced by boosted ozone vertical gradient outweighs the decreased ozone entrainment induced by turbulent suppression after 11:00 am. Additional simulations support that aerosol effect on precursor, photolysis and ozone is consistent under different underlying surface and pollution conditions.
What caused ozone pollution during the 2022 Shanghai lockdown? Insights from ground and satellite observations
Authors: Tan Yue , Wang Tao
Published: November 2022

Abstract. Shanghai, one of China's most important economic centres, imposed a citywide lockdown in April and May 2022 to contain a resurgence in cases of the coronavirus disease in 2019. Compared with the 2020 lockdown, the 2022 lockdown occurred in a warm season and lasted much longer, thereby serving
as a relevant real-world test of the response of ambient ozone (O3)
concentrations to emission reductions in a high-O3 season. In this
study, we analysed surface observations of O3 and nitrogen dioxide
(NO2) concentrations and satellite-retrieved tropospheric NO2 and
formaldehyde (HCHO) column concentrations in the first 5 months of 2022 with comparisons to the year 2021. During the 2-month 2022 lockdown, the maximum daily 8 h average (MDA8) O3 concentrations at 1 or more of the city's 19 sites exceeded China's air quality standard of 160 µg m−3 21 times, with the highest value being 200 µg m−3. The city-average MDA8 O3 concentration increased by 13 % in April–May 2022 year-on-year, despite sharp declines in NO2 surface and column concentrations (both by 49 %) and a 19 % decrease in the HCHO column concentration. These results show that the reductions in O3 precursors and other pollutants during the 2022 lockdown did not prevent ground-level O3 pollution. An analysis of meteorological data indicates that there were only small changes in the meteorological conditions, and there was little transport of O3 from the high-O3 inland regions during the 2022 lockdown, neither of which can account for the increased and high concentrations of O3 that were observed during this period. The mean HCHO/NO2 ratio in April–May increased from 1.11 in 2021 to 1.68 in 2022, and the correlation between surface O3 and NO2 concentrations changed from negative in 2021 to positive in 2022. These results indicate that the high O3 concentrations in 2022 were mainly due to large reductions in the emissions of NOx and that the decrease in the concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) could not overcome the NO titration effect. During the 2022 lockdown, Shanghai's urban centre remained VOC-sensitive despite drastic reductions in road transportation (73 %–85 %) and industrial activities (∼60 %), whereas its semi-rural areas transitioned from VOC-limited to
VOC–NOx-co-limited regimes. Our findings suggest that future emission
reductions similar to those that occurred during the lockdown, such as those
that will result from electrifying transportation, will not be sufficient to
eliminate O3 pollution in urban areas of Shanghai and possibly other
VOC-limited metropoles without the imposition of additional VOC controls or
more substantial decreases in NOx emissions.
Metabolic alkalinity release from large port facilities (Hamburg, Germany) and impact on coastal carbon storage
Authors: Norbisrath Mona , Pätsch Johannes , Dähnke Kirstin , Sanders Tina , Schulz Gesa , van Beusekom Justus E. E. , Thomas Helmuth
Published: November 2022

Abstract. Metabolic activities in estuaries, especially these of large rivers,
profoundly affect the downstream coastal biogeochemistry. Here, we unravel
the impacts of large industrial port facilities, showing that elevated
metabolic activity in the Hamburg port (Germany) increases total alkalinity
(TA) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) runoff to the North Sea. The
imports of particulate inorganic carbon, particulate organic carbon, and
particulate organic nitrogen (PIC, POC, and PON) from the upstream Elbe
River can fuel up to 90 % of the TA generated in the entire estuary via
calcium carbonate (CaCO3) dissolution. The remaining at least 10 %
of TA generation can be attributed to anaerobic metabolic processes such as
denitrification of remineralized PON or other pathways. The Elbe Estuary as
a whole adds approximately 15 % to the overall DIC and TA runoff. Both
the magnitude and partitioning among these processes appear to be sensitive
to climatic and anthropogenic changes. Thus, with increased TA loads, the
coastal ocean (in particular) would act as a stronger CO2 sink,
resulting in changes to the overall coastal system's capacity to store
CO2.

Published: November 2022

Abstract. In this study, we characterized the chemical composition of precipitation at three sites in Côte d'Ivoire representative of a south-north transect. Two urban sites have been selected in the framework of the Pollution and Health in Urban Areas (PASMU) project: one located in Abidjan in the coastal climate zone and the other located in Korhogo in the northern climate zone. The third site is the International Network to study Deposition and Atmospheric chemistry in Africa (INDAAF) rural site of Lamto representative of a wet savanna and located in the central climate zone. This work documents a three-year time period (2018–2020) with 221 samples, 239 samples and 143 samples which have been collected in Abidjan, Lamto and Korhogo, respectively. Annual and monthly VWM concentration of major ions (Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Cl-, NO3- SO42-, NH4+, HCOO-, CH3COO-, C2H5COO-, C2O42-) in rainwater have been calculated and were found to follow the following patterns: Ca2+> Cl-> Na+> NH4> SO42-> Tcarb > NO3-> Mg2+> HCOO- > CH3COO- > K+ > H+> C2O42-> C2H5COO- in Abidjan, NH4+ > HCOO- > Ca2+ > NO3-> CH3COO- >H+ > Cl- >Na+> SO42- > Mg2+ > K+ > Tcarb > C2O42- > C2H5COO- in Lamto and Ca2+ > NH4+ > Na+ > HCOO- > NO3- > Cl- > K+ > CH3COO- > SO42- > H+ > Mg2+ >Tcarb > C2O42- > C2H5COO- in Korhogo. The average pH values are respectively 5.76, 5.31, 5.57 for Abidjan, Lamto and Korhogo with a preponderance of mineral acidity at the urban sites representing respectively 69 % and 52 % of the total acidity contribution in Abidjan and Korhogo while the organic acidity is more important in Lamto representing 62 % of the total acidity contribution. Dry seasons contribute to 46 %, 74 % and 86 % to the total measured chemical content of precipitation respectively at Abidjan, Lamto and Korhogo. During dry seasons, Lamto and Korhogo rainfalls are more impacted by biomass burning source and continental air mass loaded in terrigenous compounds than Abidjan. Conversely, during wet seasons Abidjan rainfalls are more impacted by oceanic air mass from guinean gulf rich in sea salt than Lamto and Korhogo.
Frequency domain water table fluctuations reveal impacts of intense rainfall and vadose zone thickness on groundwater recharge
Authors: Guillaumot Luca , Longuevergne Laurent , Marçais Jean , Lavenant Nicolas , Bour Olivier
Published: November 2022

Abstract. Groundwater recharge is difficult to estimate, especially in fractured aquifers, because of the spatial variability of the soil properties and because of the lack of data at basin scale. A relevant method, known as the water table fluctuation (WTF) method, consists in inferring recharge directly from the WTFs observed in boreholes. However, the WTF method neglects the impact of lateral groundwater redistribution in the aquifer; i.e., it assumes that all the WTFs are attributable to recharge. In this study, we developed the WTF approach in the frequency domain to better consider groundwater lateral flow, which quickly redistributes the impulse of recharge and mitigates the link between WTFs and recharge. First, we calibrated a 1D analytical groundwater model to estimate hydrodynamic parameters at each borehole. These parameters were defined from the WTFs recorded for several years, independently of prescribed potential recharge. Second, calibrated models are reversed analytically in the frequency domain to estimate recharge fluctuations (RFs) at weekly to monthly scales from the observed WTFs. Models were tested on two twin sites with a similar climate, fractured aquifer and land use but different hydrogeologic settings: one has been operated as a pumping site for the last 25 years (Ploemeur, France), while the second has not been perturbed by pumping (Guidel). Results confirm the important role of rainfall temporal distribution in generating recharge. While all rainfall contributes to recharge, the ratio of recharge to rainfall minus potential evapotranspiration is frequency-dependent, varying between 20 %–30 % at periods <10 d and 30 %–50 % at monthly scale and reaching 75 % at seasonal timescales. We further show that the unsaturated zone thickness controls the intensity and timing of RFs. Overall, this approach contributes to a better assessment of recharge and helps to improve the representation of groundwater systems within hydrological models. In spite of the heterogeneous nature of aquifers, parameters controlling WTFs can be inferred from WTF time series, providing confidence that the method can be deployed in different geological contexts where long-term water table records are available.
Central European wind and precipitation compound events are not just due to winter storms

Published: November 2022

Abstract. Unlike other studies on wind-precipitation compound events, station data was employed from all seasons 1961–2020 to analyze the frequency and seasonal distribution of these events in Central Europe. The spatial pattern of the annual frequency is mainly determined by the cold half-years when the frequency generally decreases with increasing longitude (due to the decreasing effect of extratropical cyclones), but it also increases with increasing altitude (probably due to the orographic precipitation enhancement effected by strong winds). Nevertheless, wind-precipitation compound events are also generated by convective storms mainly in summer, when compound events are more equally distributed in Central Europe, with generally higher frequencies in lowlands. Five types of weather stations were distinguished according to the seasonal distribution of wind-precipitation compound events, with the percentage of summer events as the main criterion. Mostly winter type dominates in the west, mostly autumn type at the coast of the North Sea, mixed type in north-east Germany, mostly summer type in central part of Germany, and summer type in eastern part of Czechia and in south-east Austria. We also demonstrate on selected examples that compound events frequently occur at a station only in the season when both abnormal winds and abnormal precipitation events appear and are related to the same circulation conditions. This is the reason why wind-precipitation compound events are very rare at some stations, mainly in the highlands in the eastern part of the study region. We also discuss the role of the threshold for selecting wind-precipitation compound events and prove that the higher their frequency is at a station, the higher the percentage of stronger events among them. This finding highlights wind-precipitation compound events as a significant natural hazard mainly in exposed areas.
Technically Nothing: Enframing Life and the Properties of Nature
Authors: Dutton James
Published: November 2022

This essay will examine what it takes to be two foundational aspects of traditional metaphysics—the “concepts” of nothingness and nature—to offer a critical reading of how they enframe our understanding of “life.” It asserts that these two concepts are the limit point for metaphysical thought: the tangle that emerges when trying to overcome or reimagine them is an impasse encountered in pressing humanist concerns like ecological collapse, nihilism, alienation, and extinction. Readers of this journal may value a detailed, technical attempt at such an untangling; this article will suggest that a heightened sense of technics can be productive of a new image of thought, one that might escape the anthropocentric basis of these concerns.1 In doing so, the argument will insist on the flaw within certain metaphysical schematisms’ desire to appropriate, to form and hold sense into static and reproducible properties—a desire notably critiqued in Bernard Stiegler’s reading of technics. This flaw, it suggests, is constitutive of a sense of nature and nothingness based on property, one Stiegler notes is how we enframe being(s). It will then discuss Gilles Deleuze’s notable critiques of such “proper” enframing’s impossible limits and, following Deleuze, will turn to Marcel Proust’s writing as suggestive of a new image of thought—one that, focused on imagining (or enframing) nothingness through writing, inscribes an indelible remainder as that very imagination, suggesting that it is nothingness “it”self that will always remain.
Liberal Articulation of Islamophobia
Authors: Sayyid Amal
Published: November 2022

This article seeks to examine academic scholarship on Islamophobia in the West that attributes anti-Muslim racism to a crisis of multiculturalism and proposes the recuperation of the liberal multicultural ethos as a countermeasure to redress Islamophobia without investigating its complicity with racism. Through an analysis of Pearl Abraham’s novel American Taliban (2010), I probe an ambivalence at the heart of the liberal multicultural project of recognition (for the other) and argue that despite its claims of libertarian principles of justice and equality, multicultural recognition becomes the ideological backdrop against which changing contours of Islamophobia are articulated. This is unpacked through a fissure in Abraham’s narrative which, on the surface, draws upon the Hegelian principle of intersubjective recognition in order to critique the illiberal paradigm of Islamophobia and its concomitant framework of the clash of civilizations. Yet, it remains complicit with anti-Muslim racism through the generation of another Manichean frame that shifts reductive constructs of dangerous alterity to the Muslims who follow the normative tradition of Islam. At the same time, it offers positive recognition to Sufi Muslims who are aligned with secular liberalism. With a critical focus on Abraham’s novel, this paper deploys G.W. F. Hegel’s concept of ‘becoming’ with Gregory Lipton’s ‘critique of the secular reconstruction of Sufism in order to explore the complicity of multicultural recognition with Islamophobia, and, thus, it nuances the existing Western scholarship.

Este trabajo analiza la participación de las mujeres en las instituciones policiales militares en el contexto brasileño, desde una perspectiva cualitativa. Basado en un estudio de 41 grupos focales, realizado entre 2013 y 2015 con mujeres profesionales de 10 estados brasileños, el texto discute las condiciones de trabajo y el ingreso de las mujeres a la carrera policial militar y los desafíos que enfrentan en el proceso de integración a la institución. La investigación reveló que desde que las mujeres se incorporaron a las instituciones de la policía militar, se han producido avances en el sentido de equiparar la carrera profesional con la del personal masculino y también en las condiciones de trabajo. Sin embargo, todavía existen inequidades en cuanto a las posibilidades de ascenso profesional, promoción y ocupación de puestos de mando, así como prejuicios, discriminación y violencia en la relación con sus pares masculinos.

El artículo analiza las políticas públicas dirigidas a activar el emprendimiento de las mujeres, de las zonas de Inversión Territorial Integrada albacetense, en la industria agroalimentaria. El análisis, con perspectiva de género, muestra su influencia en la segregación ocupacional: a nivel global, promocionando actividades interdependientes a los territorios con la industria agroalimentaria auxiliar feminizada; y, a nivel local, cristalizando actividades económicas precarias, alternativas, donde la cadena global de cuidados y la acción social de las mujeres rurales sostiene la comunidad. Con una triangulación metodológica eminentemente cualitativa se recogen las voces de mujeres emprendedoras y pequeñas empresarias evidenciando, por ejemplo, la disonancia entre el discurso oficial y el de ellas. El capital cultural, social y económico construye imaginarios laborales irruptores en la comunidad, mostrando el (des)equilibrio del mercado de trabajo y la actividad económica basada en concepciones patriarcales y de clase.
EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT PHYSICAL EXERCISES ON GENERAL SELF-EFFICACY AND GLOBAL SELF-ESTEEM IN OLDER ADULTS
Authors: Vajda Petr , Strašilová Kateřina , Svobodová Lenka
Published: November 2022

Maintaining a high quality of life and robust health as one grows older may be associated with higher general self-efficacy (GSE) and self-esteem (SEM). This study compares the effects of three types of exercise interventions (resistance training, proprioceptive training, and Nordic walking) on GSE and SEM. The final analysis included results of 34 adults (aged ≥ 65 years) who were not engaged in regular physical activity at least one year. Results indicate that physical exercise significantly positively affected GSE only in the resistance training group. No significant change of SEM occurred. The negative correlation between the initial level of GSE and the effect of physical exercise suggests that physical exercise may have a greater effect on people with low GSE. The positive correlation between the initial levels of GSE and SEM indicates the link between them. However, no association between changes in GSE and SEM over the intervention was found.

Regular physical activity is an essential factor of a healthy lifestyle. The goal of our study was to assess the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the regularity of physical activity, weight gain, and psychological wellbeing of students at the University of Ljubljana (n=4911). We used an online Likert type questionnaire to compare groups of more and less frequently active students and observed gender differences in physical activity and psychological wellbeing. We found that, on average, students have been slightly less physically active than before the pandemic, and their psychological wellbeing is moderately worse than before the pandemic. Compared to less active students, students who were more regularly physically active were less likely to describe their psychological wellbeing as worse or much worse than before the pandemic. In addition, the least regularly physically active students were more likely to gain body weight compared to more active students. When comparing gender differences, we found that the drop in physical activity was less pronounced in female students. Male students were physically active more frequently than female students, and female students assessed their psychological well-being lower than that of male students. The pandemic had a predominantly negative effect on the physical activity and psychological wellbeing of the students of University of Ljubljana. However, further research is needed for a more detailed analysis of the impact of the pandemic on the student population.

It is a universal fact that the education and profession of the mother is an essential input for the development of an individual, society, and nation. Mother education and profession provide adequate knowledge, afford important abilities, and develops an appropriate mindset to attain the excessive educational overall performance in their children. This study focused on University-going Students and the impact of professional mothers on their academic achievements. The researchers attempted to find out the association among a mother's profession and the academic performance of the students. The study Determine, whether the association depends on gender or not. However, the area of the study was four public and private universities in Islamabad. The unit of the study was Students from different selected Universities. The questionnaire was pretested on 10 respondents to validate the selected questionnaire. Non-random convenience sampling was used and 195 students from different universities were selected for collecting data.

INTRODUÇÃO: A psoríase é uma doença de pele que se desenvolve após sinalização inflamatória crônica e hiperproliferação de queratinócitos, além de estar associada a grande incapacidade física e psicológica decorrente da dor das lesões cutâneas, atrelada a uma má imagem corporal e extensas comorbidades. Nesse sentido, o uso de plantas medicinais emergiu como uma das modalidades mais comuns e preferidas da medicina complementar, sendo evidenciados um elevado potencial para essaenfermidade. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o potencial terapêutico e o efeito antipsoriático de extratos vegetais, por meio de uma revisão sistemática. MÉTODOS: A presente revisão foi realizada no PubMed, no LILACS e no Scielo, utilizando os Descritores em Saúde e os operadores booleanos, da seguinte maneira: "Phytotherapy" OR "Plants, Medicinal" AND "Psoriasis", em inglês, espanhole português. RESULTADOS: A busca resultou em 32 artigos ao total, assim, foram selecionados 5 após os seguintes critérios de exclusão: artigos fora do período de cinco anos (2017 a 2022); artigos repetidos e/ou sem visualização completa; tangenciais ao tema e revisões de literatura. Os extratos de Euphorbia kansui Radix; Hypericum perforatum; Dillenia indica L; Actinidia arguta; Humulus lupulus; Hypericum perforatum e Curcuma amada apresentaram, a nível de estudos in vivo, in vitro e ex vivo, efeitos antiproliferativos e anti-inflamatórios, inibindo citocinas relacionadas à patologia, assim, reduzindo sintomas como espessamento de pele, descamação, eritema, acantose e infiltração de células inflamatórias. CONCLUSÃO: Muitas plantas medicinais são frequentemente usadas por pacientes com psoríase, sendo um método alternativo e acessível para toda a população. Dessemodo, mais pesquisas são necessárias para demonstrar segurança e eficácia para que esses extratos vegetais possam ser utilizados por pacientes com psoríase.

INTRODUÇÃO: A conduta cirúrgica em casos de fraturas graves em membros inferiores é um impasse significativo na medicina traumatológica, pois cria um dilema muito difícil de ser solucionado pelo cirurgião: tentar reconstruir o membro ou optar pela sua amputação primária, de forma a ser buscado um sistema avaliativo que auxilie na tomada de decisões pelo médico de formasimples e segura. Nesse sentido, a escala Escore de Gravidade de Mutilação da Extremidade (MESS) tenta intervir em tal problemática, sendo a de uso preferencial na traumatologia e de maior reconhecimento na literatura ortopédica. OBJETIVO: Avaliar se, de fato, o escore MESS possui validade para ser utilizado como indicador preditivo de amputação de membros inferiores e auxiliar substancial na resolução do dilema reconstrução ou amputação de membros lesados. MÉTODOS:Foram pesquisadas e discutidas as produções científicas que abordassem a utilização clínica da escala MESS, priorizando neste artigo os estudos que colocavam o escore em destaque, relatando a sua utilização e descrevendo os resultados não só matemáticos (especificidade e sensibilidade da escala) mas também funcional, com 13 produções elencadas. RESULTADOS: As pesquisas analisadas e descritas neste artigo apontam para a baixa sensibilidade e alta especificidade da escala MESS. DISCUSSÃO: O MESS foi utilizado como base de construção de outros escores que tentam corrigir falhas encontradas no primeiro. Ainda, meios não habituais de utilização do MESS, como em crianças que passaram por trauma nos membros inferiores e lesões ocasionadas em campos de batalha são relevantes para a avaliação integral do escore. CONCLUSÃO: O escore MESS não possui validade para ser usado como meio de resolução do embate reconstrução e amputação de membros inferiores em lesões graves, sendo necessária uma modificação dos seus critérios de pontuação para uma maior adaptação à realidade dos mecanismos de trauma atuais.

The article presents an analysis of the stress state of workpieces during upsetting of workpieces with an additional shear. For the analysis, the slip line method and the finite element method were used. A schematic diagram of upsetting in dies with “floating” elements, contributing to the implementation of additional shear, reduction of barreling, inhomogenous deformation and contour tensile stresses, is presented. The analysis of the research results showed that during upsetting of workpieces with additional shift forces, tensile stresses on the side surface of the workpieces decrease, which excludes the appearance of cracks on the side surface of the samples, especially when processing low-plastic alloy steels and alloys, and also reduces the barreling of the side surface.

Age and gender are two basic characteristics that may influence the clinical course of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The impact of age on the clinical phenotype is considered suggestive of increased severity of PD, especially in older patients. The clinical performance is found worse on both motor indices and non-motor symptoms. Some studies demonstratevery clear sex-related differences in the epidemiological and clinical features of the disease. Parkinson`s disease affects men twice more often than women, but women have a higher mortality rate and faster progression of the disease. Controversial data,concerning the impact of age on non-motor symptoms (NMS) of PD exist. Some studies have found an association between the increasing age and the total load of NMS. Several studies have reported a higher incidence of PD in men and also gender differences in relation to motor symptoms. However, a scant information concerning the gender differences of NMS in PD is available. It has been reported that nonmotor symptoms affect the quality of life (QoL) of PD patients to a greater extent as compared to the motor ones and that they more often lead to institutionalization, thus imposing a considerable economic burden on PD patients’ families and the society as a whole.

以日本藝術家川口隆夫2013年的單人表演作品《關於大野一雄》為經緯，本文透通過探索土方巽對傳統歌舞伎的翻譯與理解，呈現戰後前衛藝術運動之承襲與擴展。本文核心在於闡述《關於大野一雄》在創作自述中所提出「抄襲即原創」的概念，並從歌舞伎圖像學的脈絡，爬梳複製與抄襲的傳統，藉此分析女形表演與影像(（意象)）間的譜記關係。以歌舞伎類型化角色實踐的立場來理解，本文於結論指出，該這部作品的激進之處在於透，通過妄想、追憶等想像力總和的譜記技術，同時經由變形與退化的途徑，在噴發與穿刺之時，反身性主體得以現身。

 

This essay takes “About Kazuo Ohno,”, a one man show project by Takao Kawaguchi in 2013 as the main axis, and presents a study on Japanese Kabuki via the reading and translation from Hijikata Tashumi, a postwar avant-garde artist.
