Authors: Djaja Sebastian , Tobroni Ahmad , Soenjoto Dadik Agus , Suprapto Bambang
Published: November 2024

Background: Cholangiocarcinoma usually occurs in 50-70 years age group. Recent study showed an increased incidence in younger age group. We describe a case of Cholangiocarcinoma in an adolescent girl in order to understand its natural history. Case: A 16 year old girl presented with 2 months history of jaundice, itchyness, right upper quadrant abdominal pain, pale stool and dark urine. Initial investigation showed : Total Bilirubin 8.87, (Direct 3.53, Indirect 12.40), SGOT 75, SGPT 56, ALP 240, GGT 59, Hepatitis B and C negative, AFP 1.96, CA19-9 3.1, and CEA 5.1. Imaging showed dilated hepatic duct with 1.5cm mass in mid-Common Bile Duct (CBD). Due to unforeseen personal circumstances, surgery was done 16 months from onset of complaints. Tumor was found at junction of cystic duct + CBD. The CBD and Gallbladder was resected (with frozen section), lymph node dissected along hepatic artery, Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy anastomosis and Jejuno-Jejunostomy anastomosis was performed. Histopathology showed Cholangiocarcinoma grade 2 with perineural + lymphovascular invasion, and malignant cells’ perineural invasion at proximal margin. She underwent adjuvant chemotherapy (Gemcitabine + Cisplatin). CT scan 6 months post Chemotherapy showed 3cm lesion in CBD. After a further 2 months of chemotherapy, CT evaluation showed no residual mass left. Conclusion: This highlight that despite significant time lapse from onset of symptoms, surgery with curative intent may still be considered. Secondly, chemotherapy is an extremely important part of the treatment, especially in presence of malignant cells at resection margin.

Authors: Sona Althof , Irwan Irwan , Rivai M. Iqbal , Suswita Rini , Suchitra Avit
Published: November 2024

Background: CBD stones, or stones in the bile duct, affect approximately 10-15% of the global population, with 1-15% specifically experiencing bile duct stones. This prevalence is notably higher in Western populations, where around 20-25% may be affected. Case: We present a case of a 38-year-old woman who came to the polyclinic for a check-up after biliary stent installation 3 months ago. No jaundice was found, and postoperative pain was within normal limits. The patient had a history of LCBDE for indications of bile duct stones with the installation of a 10 Fr 9 cm biliary stent. Endoscopy confirmed the stent's position, after which it was extracted using a snare. A sphincterotomy facilitated the cannulation of the ampulla of Vateri. Cholangiography revealed dilation of both intra- and extrahepatic biliary tracts, with no gallstones detected but a stricture noted in the common bile duct (CBD). Sphincterotomy and balloon dilation were performed at the ampulla, followed by balloon dilation (CRE balloon at 3 atm, Ø 5 mm) at the stricture site. Post-procedure cholangiography indicated reduced stricture without contrast leakage, and the patient was stable for outpatient discharge the next day. Conclusion: Management of choledocholithiasis must be done properly. Several post-operative complications can occur, one of which is biliary stricture. In this case, dilation management with a dilation balloon has been performed. The stricture decreased after the procedure.
048. Roux-En-Y Duodenojejunostomy as Surgical Treatment for Congenital Duodenal Obstruction: A Case Report
Authors: Ruhimat Albireza , Yani Ahmad
Published: November 2024

Background: Congenital duodenal obstruction is an anatomical abnormality in newborn. Various intrinsic and extrinsic etiologies can cause duodenal obstruction. The surgical treatment that commonly performed on duodenal obstruction in neonates is duodenoduodenostomy. However, several etiologies conditions such as preduodenal portal vein (PDPV) and pancreatic annulare cause duodenoduodenostomy is nearly impossible to be performed, so an alternative treatment is necessary. Case: This case describes female neonate with congenital duodenal obstruction which had been suspected since in pregnancy due to polyhydramnios, an OGT was installed with greenish yellow residue after the baby was born. Based on abdominal x-ray examination, a double bubble appearance was seen. The patient then underwent surgery when he was 5 days old. Intraoperatively, there was PDPV and pancreas annulare covering the 3rd-4th part of duodenum, so it was decided to perform Roux-en-y duodenojejunostomy. Conclusion: In patients with congenital duodenal obstruction with special etiology and anatomy such as PDPV and pancreatic annulare, it is possible to perform a roux-en-y duodenojejunostomy. Even though this operation is rarely performed on neonate and more common in adult patients, it can be an alternative in cases of congenital duodenal obstruction.
076. Surgical Management Challenges in Recurrent Kimura Disease: A Case Study of a Rare Disease
Authors: Ramadhani Febriana R. , Panigoro Sonar S.
Published: November 2024

Background: Kimura disease (KD) is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia, primarily affecting young males of Asian descent. First described in 1948, approximately 200 cases have been reported globally. Despite surgical excision, recurrence is common, posing significant challenges for management. This report details the management challenges of recurrent KD. Case: A 30-years-old male presented with recurrent KD of the right buccal. Histologic examination revealed chronic lymphadenitis and eosinophilia. MRI showed a solid heterogeneous mass in the right buccal region and superficial to deep lobe of the right parotid gland, with multiple reactive lymphadenopathies. The patient underwent superficial instead of total parotidectomy due to dissection complexities, revealing a large tumor (13 cm in diameter) with poorly defined borders and extensive fibrotic tissue. Postoperatively, the patient received an immunomodulator and systemic corticosteroid without any follow-up surgery. Surgical excision remains the gold standard for localized KD, but likelihood of recurrence increases when tumors exceed 3 cm. Adjunctive therapies such as systemic corticosteroid, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy are considered for recurrence prevention. Systemic corticosteroids are used to reduce inflammation and lesion size but may lead to relapse upon withdrawal. Postoperative radiotherapy may help control residual disease. The use of targeted therapies such as anti-IL-5 monoclonal antibody showing promise as an immunomodulator. Conclusion: The treatment of KD requires a comprehensive approach that considers the extent of the disease and the potential recurrence. Surgical excision is the primary treatment modality, supplemented by immunosuppressive agents, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.

Authors: Yaşar Hilal , Leventoğlu Emre , Büyükkaragöz Bahar , Fidan Kibriya , Bakkaloğlu Sevcan A. , Söylemezoğlu Oğuz
Published: November 2024

Background. Dent’s disease (DD) is a rare X-linked recessive tubulopathy characterized by low molecular weight proteinuria, hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis/nephrolithiasis and chronic kidney disease. With this manuscript, we reported three patients diagnosed as DD in our department in the last 10 years and thereby described the genetics, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, course and management of the disease.
Cases. The first case was a male newborn who was consulted to our department after medullary nephrocalcinosis was detected. The second case was a 4-year-old boy who was treated with a diagnosis of urinary tract infection but was found to have proteinuria. Our last case was an 11-month-old male infant who was being followed up for recurrent urinary tract infection and who had millimetric crystalloids in the renal collecting system. Proteinuria and hypercalciuria were present in all cases. Variants were observed in the CLCN5 gene for the first two cases (c.1852G>A and c.1557+1G>T, respectively) and OCRL gene (c.952C>T) for the last case. All patients were recommended oral hydration and a low-salt diet, and hydrochlorothiazide and enalapril were started. No deterioration in kidney function was observed in any patient.
Conclusion. DD is a disease that shows different phenotypes even among individuals with mutations in the same gene. Therefore, it should be considered in all patients with hypercalciuria, proteinuria, nephrolithiasis or nephrocalcinosis with/without proximal tubular dysfunction especially in the early childhood period. Classical treatments for hypercalciuria should be utilized, and a patient-based treatment plan should be drawn especially for proteinuria.

This standard provides requirements to perform reproducible photometric and colorimetric measurements on road illumination devices, light-signalling devices and retroreflective devices to be used in road vehicles. It also provides advice for reporting the data and lists major equipment, instrumentation and procedures to record properties of approved lighting devices according to requirements specified in corresponding UN regulations. The availability of reliable and accurate photometric data for type approval1 of road illumination devices, light-signalling devices and retroreflective devices is a basic requirement for the comparability between industry and test facilities as well as between technical services and approval authorities. By obtaining these data through measurements in specific normalized measuring conditions, the consistency of the data should be ensured between different laboratories within the limits of the declared measurement uncertainty. This standard aims in particular to cover measurement methods for testing the compliance of approved road illumination devices, light-signalling devices and retroreflective devices with the photometric and colorimetric requirements as stated within different UN regulations for a variety of lighting applications in road vehicles. For each photometric and colorimetric property, the possible data acquisition process(es) with their uncertainties are considered individually. This CIE International Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee 2-67 "Photometryof Lighting and Light-signalling Devices for Road Vehicles" of Division 2 "Physical measurementof light and radiation" of the Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage. The work has beenperformed in close contact with GTB (Groupe de Travaille Bruxelles 1952) Working Group Photometry, of which most of its members are representatives of technical services accredited for approval testing of light and light signalling devices. This document has been created for laboratories having the need to perform accurate and reproducible photometric and colorimetric tests required for approval testing according to automotive lighting regulations. It has been developed based on CIE S 025:2015 and partially incorporates the former Photometry Laboratory Accuracy Guidelines, Edition 3, 2005, as stated in GTB document CE-3874.
Socio-Economic Aspect of a Person’s Image Representation in the Khakass Proverbial Picture of the World
Authors: Chugunekova A. N. , Pokoiakova K. A.
Published: November 2024

Purpose. The article describes Khakass proverbs and sayings that represent the socio-economic relations of a person in society. Currently, many issues relating to the description of a person’s image through paremic expressions in the Khakass language have not yet received proper coverage, which determines the relevance of this study.

Results. The authors have come to the conclusion that the socio-economic aspect is widely represented in Khakass proverbs and sayings. It is realized in the images of people, relatives, children, friends, enemies, masters, guests, neighbors, as well as men and women. The image of the people affirms the norms and rules of collectivism and peaceful coexistence in society. Children, parents and relatives are the main components of family relationships and always come to the aid of each other. The host is distinguished by his hospitality, and the guest, in turn, does not abuse this. As a rule, neighbors are endowed with such qualities as kindness and responsiveness. Based on the analyzed linguistic material, a man is endowed with a higher proportion of stereotypical characteristics: strength, stamina, strength of character, etc. And a woman appears as a kind, gentle and strong person.

Conclusion. Economic relations reflect the ideas about a person’s financial condition, their work activity and the commodity-money sphere. The key to a person’s success in the Khakass society is adherence to the principles of col-lectivism, mutual assistance, tolerance, perseverance, education of the younger generation and caring attitude towards each other.
The Titular War of the Moscow State with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania at the Turn of the 16th – 17th Centuries: Communication and Pragmatic Aspect
Authors: Solovyova N. V.
Published: November 2024

Purpose. The struggle for the royal title recognition was one of priorities in the foreign policy of the Moscow State in diplomatic relations with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (GDL) at the turn of the 16th – 17th centuries. The purpose of the article is to identify the communication and pragmatic features of the controversy about the title «tsar» betweenthe Russian monarch Boris Godunov and the Lithuanian ambassadors, which was preserved in the documents of the embassy of the GDL’s Chancellor Lew Sapieha to Moscow (1600–1601).

Results. The main communication strategy of Boris Godunov in obtaining the recognition of the royal title was ration-al argumentation: succession by the right of inheritance and conquest, recognition by Christian and Muslim rulers, observance of the necessary rituals and diplomatic protocol. However, the key arguments of the Russian monarch were regarded by the Lithuanian side as a manipulative influence attempt, since they did not have sufficient documentary and factual confirmation. In turn, Lithuanian ambassadors also used verbal manipulation: deliberate substitution of the meaning of words, appeal to «God’s justice» and opponent’s emotions.

Conclusion. Despite the failure to achieve recognition of the royal title, the analyzed polemics played an important role in the development of Russian diplomatic communication, since: 1) it let clearly formulate the official position of the Russian government and systematize relevant arguments in favor of the royal title, 2) stimulated the search for new communication strategies and tactics to legitimize the royal title in foreign policy relations with the GDL.
A Study on Adolescents' Careless Internet Usage Behaviors
Authors:   The Korean Association of Criminal Psychology, Kwon Hye Rim
Published: November 2024

This study focuses on the lack of awareness and the careless behavior of adolescents when using the internet, despite the high possibility of being involved in crimes, such as the exposure of personal information. The study utilized secondary data from research conducted by the National Human Rights Commission of Korea and the Korean Council of Children's Organizations as part of the Child Rights Monitoring Project. It examined factors influencing careless behavior by categorizing them into adolescents' personal characteristics, behavioral characteristics related to internet use, and cognitive characteristics regarding cyberbullying.
The analysis found that while the level of carelessness among adolescents on the internet was relatively low, repeated careless behavior could lead to desensitization, potentially resulting in greater negligence. Adolescents, in particular, can easily access a wide variety of content on the internet, and this repeated carelessness can diminish their perception of risk, eventually escalating to more serious risky behaviors. Therefore, a comprehensive approach that considers the characteristics and culture of adolescence, as well as the complexity and diversity of internet use, is continuously required. Related research is expected to be a crucial starting point for promoting healthy internet use among adolescents and, furthermore, for establishing a positive and safe internet culture.

При интоксикации тетраметилтиурамдисульфидом может возникать нарушение минерального состава ротовой жидкости и нарушение кальция-фосфорного обмена. Целью исследования было выявить изменение концентрации кальция и фосфора под воздействием тетраметилтиурамдисуль-фида. Моделирование субхронической интоксикации привело к снижению концентрации фосфора и увеличению соотношения Ca/P. Применение тетраметилтиурамдисульфида приводит к нарушению кальций-фосфорного обмена и циркуляции фосфора в полости рта, что выражается в снижении концентрации P.
Active learning FEP using 3D-QSAR for prioritizing bioisosteres in medicinal chemistry
Authors: Ramaswamy Venkata Krishnan , Habgood Matthew , Mackey Mark
Published: November 2024

Bioisostere replacement is a powerful and popular tool used to optimize the potency and selectivity of candidate molecules in drug discovery. Selecting the right bioisosteres to invest resources in for synthesis and subsequent optimization is key to an efficient drug discovery project. Here we demonstrate how 3D-quantitative structure activity relationship (3D-QSAR), and relative binding free energy calculations can be combined into an active learning workflow to prioritize molecules from a pool of hundreds of bioisosteres. We demonstrate on a human aldose reductase test case that the use of this workflow can rapidly locate the strongest-binding bioisosteric replacements with a relatively modest computational cost.
Surfactant Control of Interfacial Reaction Rates in Aqueous Microdroplets
Authors: Prophet Alexander , Limmer David , Wilson Kevin
Published: November 2024

Microdroplets are purported to enhance reaction rates and produce spontaneous chemical transformations that are unfavorable in macroscale systems. The gas-liquid interface is widely implicated for the emergence of these chemical anomalies. Experiments conducted on individual microdroplets provide a unique platform for studying interfacial effects while bypassing transport limitations often encountered in macroscopic systems. We investigate such interfacial effects by analyzing the suppression of the I- + O3 surface reaction by the nonionic surfactant Triton X-100 in an array of levitated microdroplets. Using a novel kinetic framework describing surface and bulk reactivity, we find that increasing surfactant concentration shifts the locus of reaction from the top-most nanometer of the interface to a subsurface region located < 2 nm below the surface. This detailed picture of spatial reactivity is afforded only by considering the timescales for O3 adsorption and solvation combined with reaction monitoring in single microdroplets. Chemical uniqueness is further illustrated by the I- + O3 rate dependence on [Triton X-100], which is quantitatively understood by considering finite size effects in microdroplets. Both size and surface effects are considered to derive an analytical expression for reactive uptake of O3 which demonstrates the role of competitive adsorption of Triton-X and I- at the gas-liquid interface. This work establishes a novel approach to understanding interfacial reaction kinetics that successfully links nanometer-scale dynamics from molecular simulations with macroscale measurements of surface tension and microscale measurements of chemical reactivity.
Conformational Pruning via the Permutation Invariant Root Mean Square Deviation of Atomic Positions
Authors: Pracht Philipp
Published: November 2024

The Cartesian root-mean-square-deviation (RMSD) of atomic coordinates is fundamental for comparing three dimensional molecular structures, particularly in identifying and classifying molecular conformations. Since molecular properties are determined by the molecular conformation, pruning duplicates via a structural similarity metric like the RMSD will reduce redundant calculations and hence directly impact the cost of automated workflows in computational chemistry. However, the traditional RMSD metric struggles when dealing with local symmetry in molecules and atom permutation, often leading to inflated errors and computational inefficiency. This work addresses these challenges by providing clear definitions for structural similarity within conformational ensembles and developing an efficient divide-and- conquer algorithm for their distinction. The proposed permutation invariant RMSD (iRMSD) approach efficiently overcomes challenges associated with symmetric molecules and multiple rotamers by incorporating a procedure that assigns canonical atom identities and optimizes the atom-to-atom assignment process. This procedure leads to significant reductions in computational complexity, making the method highly suit- able for rapid, large-scale conformational analysis and automated property prediction workflows, both by effective pruning of duplicate conformations and enabling cross-methodology ensemble comparison.

The Hero’s Journey as a Novel, Narrative, and Improvisational Group Intervention on Quality of Life for People with Parkinson’s Disease
Authors:   University of Nevada, Cochrane Robert , Navalta James ,   University of Nevada, Weisman Anne ,   University of Nevada
Published: November 2024

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the fastest-growing neurological diseases in the world. Pharmaceutical and surgical interventions continue to advance to better address motor symptoms. However, disability from non-motor symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, and stress persist. Expressive therapies, including art, music, and dance are being explored and implemented more frequently to address this growing need. We developed this study to examine the feasibility of a novel program using online narrative therapy, with constructs from Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey, and improvisation for people with PD (PWPD). Participants from across the U.S. and U.K. met online via Zoom once a week for one hour over the course of 27 consecutive sessions. A PhD student with a professional background in filmmaking and improvisation developed the sessions and led the program. The primary aim was to assess feasibility, the threshold for which was set at 70% of participants attending a minimum of 75% of the classes. Sixteen of 21 participants (76%) completed the study, with all 16 attending at least 85% of the classes. All participants who completed the study stated they enjoyed the class and would like to continue in the program and see it offered to others with PD. The secondary aim was to explore the participants’ experience within the program using a phenomenological approach. Four major themes emerged: 1) There was a high level of interest in the intervention itself as it was deemed unique; 2) Participants struggled to see their own heroic qualities; 3) They reported high levels of connection within the group and 4) The emphasis on having PD faded, replaced by journeys of self-discovery beyond having PD.
Pressures to Comply or Defy: How Social Values Influence Perceptions of Healthcare Workers as Villains
Authors:   University of Louisville, Beggan James , Allison Scott ,   University of Richmond
Published: November 2024

During the Covid-19 pandemic, politicians, the media, and the public labeled frontline workers as heroes. The goal of this article is to examine how certain aspects of the Covid-19 pandemic—such as the nature of the Covid-19 virus, coupled with insufficient governmental and institutional responses—created a situation where it became possible for people to characterize healthcare workers as villains. This approach to medical professionals is rather novel in heroism studies and social sciences. A qualitative review of available data sources provided evidence that frontline healthcare workers were perceived negatively. Experiencing a lack of cooperation from patients and their families, healthcare personnel were forced to deal with institutional constraints that exacerbated these conflicts. Variables that could influence being villainized included the social value orientation and political persuasion of perceivers, as well as structural factors related to the transmission of effective and accurate information, including biased mass media presentations and genuine uncertainty from scientific sources.
