Carbon Dioxide Embolism During Laparoscopic Right Hepatectomy: A Case Report
Authors: Wu Dongjiao
Published: August 2023

Complications of laparoscopic surgery include carbon dioxide (CO2) embolism, primarily caused by the entry of CO2 gas into blood vessels or solid organs. If significant clinical symptoms occur, timely intervention is crucial as it can be life-threatening. We report a case of CO2 embolism during laparoscopic right hepatectomy. The patient was a 37-year-old male with no history of liver or kidney dysfunction. During the procedure, there were two episodes of oxygen desaturation (SpO2), and the second episode was accompanied by a significant drop in blood pressure and an increase in heart rate. However, there was no sudden decrease in the end-tidal CO2 partial pressure (ETCO2). Simultaneously, a grinding murmur was auscultated in the precordial area, and foamy blood was aspirated from the right internal jugular vein catheter. This article describes a case of CO2 embolism during laparoscopic surgery and provides a summary of its causes, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment. It is hoped that this article will contribute to the timely recognition and management of such cases, thereby preventing any potential adverse outcomes for patients.

Published: August 2023

Bats that feed on insects and are members of the Hipposideridae family, category Chiroptera is widely dispersed worldwide, including Hipposideros spp. There are 29 species of 73 species that inhabit Indonesia. Most of these species use caves as their roosting habitat. In cave habitats, with different physicochemical conditions from surface habitats, the hematological profile can be a physiological indicator in responding to habitat conditions. This study aims to analyze the hematological profile of Hipposideros spp. as a parameter of physiological adaptation in the cave habitat in Gunung Sewu Karst Area, Indonesia. Sampling was carried out purposively in six caves locality of the Gunung Sewu karst area. Bats were collected with misnet (12 x 3 m), and Harpnet was installed at the entrance of the cave at 17.00 - 21.00 WIB. The Blood samples from each bat were taken intravenously, as much as 1 mL, on the Forearm and inserted into a 1.5 mL microtube that had been given EDTA anticoagulant. A total of 20 parameters were observed from erythrocyte, leukocyte, and platelet profiles. These parameters use a Hematology Analyzer for analysis. Data differences in hematological profiles between species and sex were analyzed using one-way ANOVA (sig= 95%), respectively. The relationship trend between the physicochemical parameters of the roosting area in the cave with erythrocytes and hemoglobin was then analyzed using a univariate linear model with multiple regression. All statistical analyses were performed using the Paleontological statistics program (PAST) ver. 4.09 and R. Studio v1.4.1717-3. We found three species (Hipposideros diadema, H. larvatus, and H. ater) with 70 individuals. This study concluded that there were differences in the hematological profiles between the three Hipposideros species based on species and gender, although some samples did not show significant differences based on statistical tests. Erythrocytes and hemoglobin can be used as parameters of physiological adaptation to cave habitats. This is indicated by an increase in erythrocytes and hemoglobin followed by a decrease in air temperature and oxygen levels, as well as increased humidity and ammonia levels in cave habitats. These study results can be supported if similar studies analyze the hematological profile of non-cave-roosting bat. It is recommended that future studies analyze the hematological profile of non-cave-roosting bats around the caves of the studies or in areas with similar conditions.
Keywords: Bat cave, hematology, Hipposideros, Microchiroptera, physiological adaptations.

Authors: El.Moghazy Mohammed M.E. , Al-haithloul Hafia A.S.
Published: August 2023

Numerous mite species frequently affect olive trees worldwide; phytophagous mites induce damage to leaves, buds, and fruits. This research work was conducted as an exploratory assessment of the mite fauna of olive trees, its population prevalence, and the composition of control strategies by comparing the efficacy of predation of Amblyseius swirskii with acaricide Danisaraba 20% SC (active constituent cyflumetofen) for control of pest mites on olive trees in the open field. Results showed that 12 species from 11 genera belonging to 6 families were identified. Six species were identified as a new record for Aljouf region, Saudi Arabia. Eriophyid mites were the most prevalent phytophagous species associated with olive aerial parts. The temperature and relative humidity in various months significantly influence mites' activity and population density. At an average temperature of 20 to 40 °C and 12 to 30% rh, the population density of mites began to rise at the beginning of March and peaked in June. Comparison of predation of A. swirskii with acaricide Danisaraba 20% SC in field revealed that the enumeration of different stages of pest mites started declining gradually. The Eriophyid population recorded the lowest number on the 48th day after the second release of A. swirskii at a predator/prey ratio of 1:7. While population steadily increased on the 16th day after the second launch of the acaricide Danisaraba. A. swirskii has proved to be a promising candidate for biological control of olive trees mites compared with acaricide Danisaraba 20% SC in an open field.

Cryptosporidium is one of the most common causes of diarrhea in calves worldwide, and the risk factors contributing to its control and prevention are extensively studied. This epidemiological study was conducted in an unstable breeding environment. Ninety-six (96) calves suffering from diarrhea were studied from five regions in northwestern Syria. The goal of this study was to assess the prevalence of cryptosporidium in fecal samples and to measure the expected risk and regression for assumed risk factors that may cause diarrhea in calves up to 60 days old. Fecal samples were tested using direct ELISA. The results showed 9.1% (1/11) cases in the western Aleppo countryside, 21.1% (4/19) in the eastern Idlib countryside, 13.6% (3/22) in the Northern Idlib countryside, 2.9% (1/35) in the Jisr Al-Shughur countryside, while no positive case was recorded in the western countryside. This is the first study conducted in the region showing the incidence, regression, and risk rates, and it accentuates the need for a broader study on the effect of certain drugs used in the treatment of diarrhea and its consequences.

Published: August 2023

Phenylalanine ammonia lyase is the crucial enzyme and rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis pathway of phenylpropane. Lignin, phytoalexin and many kinds of active substances produced in this pathway, such as flavonoids and phenols, play a key role in lignification, stress resistance, insect resistance and disease resistance of plant cells. In this study, five PAL gene sequences of Populus simonii × p.nigra were studied, and the basic characteristics of their genes and proteins were analyzed. The tissue expression pattern of PAL gene of Populus simonii × p.nigra were tested by real-time quantitative. PCR under different nitrogen forms and nitrogen concentrations. The results showed that the physicochemical property of five proteins were similar. All the proteins except PtrPAL4 and PtrPAL5 were stained on chromosome 10, PtrPAL1, PtrPAL2 and PtrPAL3 were on chromosome 6, 8 and 16, respectively. The five proteins were mainly distributed in chloroplasts, and the three-level structures of the five proteins were consistent, and they were all homologous tetramers. The evolutionary relationship results show that the PAL gene of poplar is highly homologous to rice and Arabidopsis. When poplar was treated with 0.1 mmol · L-1, 10 mmol · L-1 and 2 mmol · L-1, the relative expression of PAL genes in stem was the highest under low nitrogen level, and was most obviously induced by ammonium nitrogen.

Genetic variation and varied response of genotypes with erraticsalt tolerance enable us to recognize and utilize the underlying physiological and biochemical mechanisms in development of salinity tolerant cultivars. In the present studies, ten lines viz., B-56, BLBN, G-96, R-3, RBJ-8007, ZMR-1, ZMR-2, ZNR-1, ZMM-5, and 23627, and six testers i.e., Faisal, Shiralee, Laclone, Long, Legend, and ZMR-3 were collected and crossed in a line by tester fashion. The resultant F1 crosses and their parental genotypes were assessed at maturity phase in a pot experiment under factorial structured CRD. Recorded data on morphological traits were analyzed to assess the genetic variability in breeding material, association among traits, and their direct and subsidiary effects on seed and oil yield. Analysis of variance showed the presence of significant genetic variability within and among the salinity treatments. Parental genotypes were found significantly different for Na+/K+ ratio, proline contents, osmotic potential, primary branches, and oil contents under all treatments. Entries and parents vs. crosses differed significantly for most of the traits indicating that breeding material possesses genetic variability which may be exploited in future breeding program for effective upgradation of yield and salinity tolerance. Correlation and path analysis exposed that silique per plant, seeds per silique, oil content, thousand seeds weight, and days to 50% maturity might be used as criteria of selection for development of salinity tolerant types with higher yield. Morphological traits showed significant association with yield per plant under salt stress conditions. These associations can be useful in sorting salt tolerant and sensitive high yielding genotypes. Accumulation of proline and Na+/K+ ratio may also be chosen as selection criteria for targeting salinity tolerance in the future breeding program. Screening of salt tolerant lines and subsequent development of salinity tolerant cultivars may be helpful in inclusion of salt effected area’s under Brassica cultivation thereby increasing the local production of edible oil in Pakistan.

Published: August 2023

Wounds have always been a serious hazard to the public health around the world. Currently available treatments are limited due to their side effects and high cost. Plants are being used as a good source of medicines due to their safety, and ease of access. The objective of the study was to examine the potential cell proliferation and migration activities of Syzygium aromaticum extracts to understand the wound healing property of this plant. Methanol-, ethanol- and acetone-based extracts were prepared from S. aromaticum flower buds and tested in a scratch assay using a human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell line. Polyphenolic contents in the extracts of S. aromaticum responsible for wound healing potential were identified using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The study revealed that the majority of examined extracts stimulated cell proliferation of RPE cells. The activities were highest when the extracts were prepared using acetone as solvent at 0.05 mg/mL concentration. Acetone- and ethanol-based extracts yielded the best results at 0.05 mg/mL whereas methanol-based extract produced the highest result at 0.5 mg/mL. Thus, the present study provides better understanding of the traditional use of S. aromaticum for the treatment of wounds. However, further detailed studies are needed to optimize the concentration of different compounds of S. aromaticum for wound healing treatment.

Authors: H.A.Mohamad Mahmoud , M.Abdel Aziz Adel
Published: August 2023

Molecular and microbiological approaches were used to investigate the common circulating pathogens in pigeon flocks. Sixty-nine flocks were investigated for viral, bacterial and parasitic infection evidence, including the histories, clinical signs and lesions. We reported that the seroprevalences of Newcastle disease viruses (NDVs), Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) and Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) were 50.57%, 7.25% and 8.69%. respectively; no avian influenza virus (AIV)‒specific antibodies were detected. NDVs and pigeon paramyxoviruses (PPVs) were detected in 40.57% and 15.9%, respectively, of the pigeons. Multiple diseases were the predominant finding, with 60.87% of diseased flocks harboring multifactorial infections of viral, bacterial and parasitic pathogens. Concurrent viral and bacterial infections were reported in 15.94%, and viral and parasitic coinfections were found in 20.29%. Mixed infections of NDV with bacterial and parasitic diseases were detected in 21.74%. Bacterial and mycotic pathogens were detected in 22/69 (31.88%) and 5/69 (7.25%), respectively. Salmonella spp. were only detected in 3/69 (4.35%) of diseased flocks. Parasitic diseases were the most prevalent infections, either as a single infection or concurrently with others. Parasites including Cestoda spp., Ascaris spp., Eimeria spp., Trichomonas gallinae and external parasites(Menopon gallinae, Pseudolynchia canariensis) were reported in 12/69 (17.39%), 10/69 (10.49%), 10/69 (10.49%), 18/69 (26.1%) and 3/69 (4.35%), respectively. We concluded that pigeon flocks harbor many pathogens that may threaten the health of animals and humans; they are serious amplifiers and reservoir hosts of disease and, ultimately, may be serious biological hazards to the intensive poultry production sector and community. Pigeon vaccines should be developed. Strict biosecurity measures should be applied to protect pigeons and commercial poultry flocks.

PCR-RFLP ANALYSIS OF INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR-1 GENE OF KALAHARI RED GOATS
Authors: Mokoena K , Tyasi T.L. , Mbazima V
Published: August 2023

Insulin-like growth factor 1 gene (IGF-1) is associated with growth traits in different livestock, but its association with growth traits in South African indigenous goat breeds is poorly understood. The study's objective was to identify the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of IGF-1 in the Kalahari Red goat breed and their association with the growth traits. Two genotypes (KK and KM) were identified using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The frequency of genotype KK and KM was 0.56 and 0.44 respectively. The allelic frequency of allele K and M was 0.78 and 0.22 respectively. The studied Kalahari Red goat breed population was not in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) as revealed by the Chi-square test (χ2 = 0.39). Marker-trait association indicated that the identified genotypes had no association (P > 0.05) with the measured growth traits. In conclusion, the current study suggests that two identified genotypes of IGF-1 might not be used as potential genetic markers during selection to improve growth traits. Further studies need to be conducted on SNPs of IGF-1 and their association with growth traits using a larger sample, more growth traits and targeting more exons of Kalahari Red goats.

To investigate the adsorption mechanism of quaternary ammonium salt on the α-quartz (001) sur-face, the adsorption models of hydrophobic modifiers 1231, 1431, 1631 and 1831 were constructed and simulated using the density functional theory (DFT). Results indicate that the adsorption energy of quaternary ammonium salt increases with the increase of carbon chain length, and the adsorption energy reaches the maximum at 18 carbon atoms; however, the adsorption capacity of 1631 is weak owing to the carbon chain deflection. Based on the Mulliken bond population analysis, reagent 1831 has the strongest interaction with α-quartz (001) surface compared with 1231, 1431 and 1631; and during the adsorption process, charge transfer and electrostatic attraction occur between the reagent and α-quartz (001) surface with similar degrees of charge transfer observed. This study emphasizes that electrostatic attraction plays a key role in the adsorption process, while the week hydrogen bonding plays a secondary role.

This study emphasizes on the physicochemical and grindability characteristics and work index of an alluvial formed silica dominated ferro-columbite mineral from Rayfield-Jos minefields in Plateau state, Nigeria. Investigations were also carried out in order to determine the mineralogy of the mineral deposits and most essentially the actual energy consumed during comminution and milling of the mineral so as to achieve the liberation size prior to high efficient mineral processing or beneficiation and the extraction of value metals. The distribution of the mineral particles as well as their sizes was determined, with a mineral liberation size fraction range essentially established as -150+90 µm particle sizes. Mass percentage of each size fraction obtained from PSD analysis conducted before and after comminution was also determined, obtaining 80% passing for both the mineral feeds and comminuted products. Berry and Bruce modified Bond’s work index was therefore obtained, and was determined to be within the range of 2.0414 to 2.5667 kWh/ton. Hence, the energy consumed or required to comminute or grind the Fe-columbite mineral to 80% passing is expected to fall within the range of 0.3613 to 0.4543 kWh. Thus, it could be said that a low milling work index as well as moderately low energy is required for comminution and this can be attributed to the mineralogy, mineral source and alluvial formation of the mineral reserve. Therefore, the grindability/PSD result of the mineral sample indicates that its mineralogy is considered a class of moderately soft mineral type in terms of texture with easy grindability.

This article aims to investigate in detail to what extent surfactants affect the determination of cadmium by anodic stripping voltammetry. In recent years, the production and use of surfactants have been steadily increasing, so that their concentration in environmental water samples is rising. At the same time, it is known that organic compounds, such as surfactants, often hinder the voltammetric determination of trace elements by stripping. Non-ionic (Triton X-100, Brij 35, Tween 20, Tween 60, Tween 80), cationic (CTAB, CTAC, DTAB, HPC) and anionic (DSS, SDS) compounds were selected to investigate the effect of surfactants on the voltammetric signal of cadmium. At the same time, the extent to which the addition of Amberlite resins to the analysed solution eliminates the interfering effect of surfactants was tested. Three types of Amberlite resins XAD-2, XAD-7 and XAD-16 were selected for the study and the ratio of resin weight to solution volume was determined. Finally, the determination of cadmium in surfactant-enriched environmental samples was carried out. The recoveries obtained between 95.5 and 107%, with RSD between 3.4 and 6.2%, confirm the validity and correctness of the proposed procedure All measurements were carried out by anodic stripping voltammetry using a CNTs/SGC electrode modified with a bismuth film as the working electrode.

This Article aims to describe the mode of student political participation through conventional and unconventional forms of participation and what encourages students to participate. To achieve this goal, researchers use a descriptive quantifiable method with students of Palangka Raya University as a sample. Questionnaires are an instrument in data collection deployed using the Google Form. The result of the research on the mode of student political participation is the spectators. The trend that develops through the form of participation is passive supportive because students are more likely to participate regularly in elections. On the other hand, it is known that personal goals and self-awareness of civic duty are the main factors of students' interest in politics

In a plural society as in a village, the form of social interaction can occur in a dissociative process or an associative process. The dissociative process can occur if each community group is unable to resolve itself with other groups and conversely the associative process can occur if the adjustment process can be carried out properly then the social interaction of post-conflict communities in the village will be associative.

Social conflict Basically, it cannot be organized unless it is postponed by reducing the extreme actions that occur, the way, among others, is to prevent conflict from producing something that is detrimental to all parties. In addition, conflict managers immediately pull individuals out of their involvement in a social conflict and include them in other community groups who are running positive programs.

Living in society cannot be separated from social changes, both fast and slow changes, because people cannot live alone without a relationship with their fellow human beings in society.

After the political reform in 1998, Indonesia held 5 elections, namely in 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014, and 2019. From the implementation of the elections that occurred in each period, of course, the conditions were different. It even has its problems in every election carried out both from regulations, the electoral system, and even technicalities. So that after the completion of the election, an evaluation is always carried out for improvement in the upcoming election. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative method. The result of this study is that every election has different characteristics, both from the aspect of electoral law and the electoral process. Although it is also known that every election implementation still has various shortcomings. However, any deficiencies become materials for the improvement of each election in the future, to create quality elections. The electoral system remains an important point in managing the degree of representation in parliament. From the experience of the 5 times holding elections in Indonesia, a representative proportional system is a fixed choice taken by decision-makers. Although each election uses a proportional system, based on experience there are several differences in each election, such as the 1999 election using a closed variant, the 2004 election with a semi-open variant, and 2009, 2014, and 2019 elections purely openly.
