Entre o dito e o visto: narratividade em Abishag, de João Câmara
Authors: De Almeida Sherry Morgana Justino , Simplício da Silva Amanda Mirella
Published: October 2023

Este artigo objetiva compreender como se configura a narrativa de Abishag – hóspede inevitável (2012), de João Câmara, na relação intersemiótica entre texto verbal e texto visual, dentro do contexto do livro ilustrado. Partimos da hipótese geral de que a obra é constituída dentro de uma perspectiva intersemiótica e que a relação estabelecida entre os signos convencionais (palavras) e os signos icônicos (ilustrações) ultrapassa categorizações teóricas de complementação ou de simples correspondência entre o texto visual e o texto verbal. Chegamos a comprovar que, em Abishag, o texto visual não serve somente como complemento ao texto escrito, ou como uma fiel ilustração daquilo que está sendo dito, juntamente com o texto verbal, ele ultrapassa categorizações. Para tanto, tomamos como base teórica principal, autores como Genette (1995), Franco Jr. (2009) no tocante à Narratologia e Nikolajeva e Scott (2011) no âmbito da teoria intersemiótica.
Urtica Dioica Leaf Extract Attenuates Oxidative Stress Induced by Environment Pollutant Benzo[a] Pyrene in Mouse Testicular Tissues
Authors: Albogami Sarah
Published: October 2023

Background:

Epidemiological studies have shown that elevated levels of air pollutants are associated with various adverse health effects, including infertility.

Objective:

We aimed to assess the protective effects of aqueous Urtica dioica leaf extract against benzo[a]pyrene -induced oxidative damage in mouse testis.

Methods:

Mice exposed to benzo[a]pyrene were treated with or without aqueous Urtica dioica extract for five weeks, and changes in body and testes weights, messenger RNA levels and activities of antioxidant enzymes, plasma testosterone levels, sperm characteristics, and testicular tissue histology were determined.

Results:

Exposure to benzo[a]pyrene remarkably reduced testis and body weights, the expression and activity of antioxidant enzymes, increased lipid peroxidation, decreased plasma testosterone levels and sperm count and motility, affected sperm morphology and viability, and damaged the seminiferous tubules. Treatment with aqueous Urtica dioica leaf extract attenuated benzo[a]pyrene -induced oxidative stress in the testicular tissue by increasing the expression of antioxidant genes. Further, Urtica dioica leaf extract reduced lipid peroxidation, increased antioxidative enzyme activity, enhanced sperm characteristics, increased plasma testosterone levels, and improved the morphology of the seminiferous tubules.

Conclusion:

Aqueous Urtica dioica leaf extract protects testicular tissue from benzo[a]pyrene -induced oxidative damage and could potentially reverse benzo[a]pyrene -induced infertility.

Published: October 2023

Objective:

This laboratory study aims to assess the cuspal deflection, adaptation, and marginal sealing of premolars restored with bulk-fill resin composites.

Methods:

Fourty-four premolars received class II preparations (distal and mesial boxes located 1 mm above and 1 mm below the cementoenamel junction, respectively). The teeth were distributed into four groups according to the resin composite used for restoration (n=11): G1 (control): Filtek Z250 XT; G2: Filtek Bulk-Fill; G3: Tetric N-Ceram Bulk-Fill; G4: Aura Bulk-Fill. A digital micrometer was used to measure the cuspal deflection before and after the restorative procedures. Replicas in epoxy resin of the restored teeth were achieved before and after thermal cycles. The cervical margins were observed by SEM at 200x magnification to obtain the percentage of continuous margins (%CM). After thermal cycles, the samples were immersed in a silver nitrate solution, and the microleakage was analyzed in the cervical margins.

Results:

ANOVA showed no significant differences in the cuspal deflection and %CM among the resin composites. Student’s t-test showed a significant decrease in the %CM after thermal cycles for all resin composites at the cervical margin in dentin. There was higher microleakage at the dentin margin for all the resin composites.

Conclusion:

Bulk-fill resin composites had comparable behavior to conventional composites in regard to the cuspal deflection, adaptation, and marginal sealing parameters.

Authors: Srywati Pamuna Oktafin , Prasetya Indra , Astiawati Tri , Saifur Rohman Mohammad , Kurnianingsih Novi
Published: October 2023

Background: Heart failure is a health issue with high mortality and morbidity rates globally, including in Indonesia. Congestion is the main symptom of acute heart failure. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) are well-known markers to confirm the condition. Plasma volume estimation (ePVS) is one of the procedures currently being developed to assess a patient's congestive status at a lower cost. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity value of ePVS to assess the congestive status in acute heart failure patients Methods: This is a descriptive observational research with a cross-sectional study method that included all patients with dyspneu that come to emergency room between May 2018-February 2023. Baseline characteristics, medication history, and echocardiography were also included in the statistical analysis. We used univariate and bivariate analysis to assess the effect of each variable on the patient's congestive condition. A diagnostic test of plasma volume estimation was carried out using Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) Analysis compared to NT pro-BNP as a diagnostic tool of congestive in acute heart failure based on guideline. Plasma volume estimation calculated using Strauss-Duarte formula. Result: A total of 506 subjects with dyspnea at ER Dr. Saiful Anwar Malang Hospital, who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The mean age was older in congestive patients with 51.3% being male. Patients with congestive conditions have a lower ejection fraction with a higher estimated right atrial pressure from echocardiography. The estimation plasma volume status was also higher in congestive conditions (4.90 vs 3.5). The ePVS from ROC analysis has a good diagnostic value at the reduced and mildly reduced EF. Conclusion: The estimation of plasma volume status has a good sensitivity and specificity value to assess congestive status in patients with acute heart failure who are fluid-overloaded.

Background: The most common reason for prehospital delay in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients is a lack of symptoms awareness. Patient-oriented machine learning algorithms may help the patient recognize ACS symptoms, reducing the prehospital delay that determines the clinical outcome of ACS patients. Objective: Assessing the accuracy of the self-assessment chest pain algorithm (DETAK) in identifying ACS Methods: This study was conducted from August 2021 to June 2022 and included seven hospitals: five PCI-capable hospitals and two non-PCI-capable hospitals. All patients with chest pain who visited the hospital and used the DETAK algorithm were included. Patients with unstable angina, as well as those who died or declined to participate in this study, were excluded. The area under the curve receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) was used to verify DETAK's performance in identifying ACS. We compare the DETAK algorithm's diagnosis with the definitive diagnosis based on ECG and/or troponin results. Result: A total of 539 patients (mean age 58 years) participated, with a higher proportion of male patients (n = 424). An AUC value of 0.854 was obtained. The cut-point accuracy of DETAK in identifying ACS for the entire sample had a sensitivity of 89.5% and a specificity of 81.2%. The algorithm's specificity decreased in certain subgroups, including type 2 diabetes, women, and hypertensive patients. The algorithm reliability test obtained moderate to strong levels of agreement. Conclusion: As a leap in the digital era, DETAK's self-assessment-based chest pain algorithm offers excellent diagnostic performance to identify ACS symptoms and reduce prehospital delays for patients.

İslami Kadınları Temsil Meselesi: Hiyerarşiyi Sorgulayan Kadın İlahiyatçılar
Authors: Altuntaş Çakır Ravza
Published: October 2023

Kemalist ve İslamcı ideolojiler, “hayali” Türk ulusal kimliğinin bir bileşeni olarak “ideal kadınlık” kavramını kullanıp İslami kadın kimliklerini yeniden tanımlamaya ve şekillendirmeye odaklanmıştır. Bu makale öncelikle Kemalist ve İslamcı çerçeveler içinde İslami kadınların temsillerini ele almaktadır. Daha sonra, Müslüman kadın ilahiyatçıların kadın olarak kendilerini ifade etme ve öznellik haklarını nasıl savunduklarını incelemektedir. Bu ilahiyatçılar, İslami kaynaklar ve hermenötik metodolojiler aracılığıyla çağdaş toplumsal cinsiyet meselelerine yanıt veren bir teoloji geliştirmeye çalışmaktadır. Özellikle Hidayet Şefkatli Tuksal’ın Türkiye’nin seküler ve İslamcı bağlamlarında toplumsal cinsiyet hiyerarşilerine meydan okuyan ve İslami ilkelerin kadın haklarıyla uyumluluğunu araştıran öncü çalışmaları bu bağlamda değerlendirilmektedir. Şefkatli Tuksal, Türkiye’de Kemalizm ve İslamcılığa karşı eşitlikçi bir okuma ile modernite ve gelenek, özel ve kamusal, teslimiyet ve rasyonellik ikiliklerini bulanıklaştırmakta ve cinsiyet hiyerarşisi sorununa alternatif bir yorum getirmektedir.
Ömer Nasuhi Bilmen'in Büyük İslam İlmihali'nde Toplumsal Cinsiyet
Authors: Aslan Turan Esra
Published: October 2023

İlmihaller iman, namaz, oruç, hac, zekât ve ahlak gibi konularda, İslam’ın temel kurallarını öğretmek için yazılmış, Türkiye’de dindarlığı şekillendiren kurucu eserlerdendir. Bu durum, ilmihallerin kültürel yapı ve anlayışlarla çoğu yerde uyumlu olmasıyla yakından ilgilidir. Bu çerçevede kadınlık ve erkekliğin toplumsal manalarının ilmihal temelli yaygın dinî inanışlara güçlü bir şekilde yansıdığı ifade edilebilir. Bu anlayışlara göre kadınlar ev ve çocuk bakımı ile bağlantılı rolleri icra ederken erkeğin dışarda çalışarak ailenin geçimini ve güvenliğini temin etmesi beklenir. Bu rol ve beklentilere dair kabuller dinî literatürdeki cinsiyet temelli değerlendirmeleri etkilemiş; kültürel kodlara göre şekillenmiş dinî metinler çoğu zaman geleneksel kadınlık ve erkeklik normlarını meşrulaştırarak pekiştirmenin güçlü aracıları olmuştur. Bu çalışma Türkiye’de ilmihallerin, mevcut cinsiyet anlayışlarına dair sürekliliklerin sağlanmasında dinin ne kadar belirleyici bir faktör olduğunu ortaya koyması açısından epey önemli olduğu düşüncesiyle yürütülmüştür. Bu amaçla Türkiye halk dindarlığının kurucu unsurlarından biri olarak görebileceğimiz Ömer Nasuhi Bilmen’in Büyük İslam İlmihali’nde ortaya konulan fetvalarda, kadın ve erkek olmanın ele alınma şekli, metnin tamamı gözden geçirilerek irdelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda kadını erkeğe karşı ikincil gören; gücü, iradesi, yönetme ve ifade etme kabiliyeti eksik biri olarak kodlayan geleneksel değer yargılarının Büyük İslam İlmihali’ndeki dinî hükümleri de şekillendirdiği görülmüştür.

Published: October 2023

Background

The control of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is critical for achieving the vision of World Health Organization’s End TB goal.

Objective

This study analyzes the temporal trends in PTB incidence associated with age, period, and birth cohorts from 2006 to 2020 in Yunnan, China; projects the PTB burden till 2030; and explores the drivers of PTB incidence.

Methods

The aggregated PTB incidence rates between 2005 and 2020 were obtained from the National Notifiable Disease Reporting System. We used the age-period-cohort model to evaluate the age, period, and cohort effects on PTB incidence. We applied the Bayesian age-period-cohort model to project future PTB incidence from 2021 to 2030. We applied the decomposition algorithm to attribute the incidence trends to population aging, population growth, and age-specific changes from 2006 to 2030.

Results

From 2006 to 2020, the PTB incidence in Yunnan was relatively stable, although the absolute number showed an increase. The net drift was –1.56% (95% CI –2.41% to –0.70%). An M-shaped bimodal local drift and a longitudinal age curve were observed. The overall local drift was below zero for most age groups except for the age groups of 15-19 years (2.37%, 95% CI –0.28% to 5.09%) and 50-54 years (0.41%, 95% CI –1.78% to 2.64%). The highest risk of PTB incidence was observed in the age group of 65-69 years, and another peak was observed in the age group of 20-24 years. Downward trends were observed for both period and cohort effects, but the cohort effect trends were uneven. A higher risk was observed for the birth cohorts of 1961-1970 (rate ratio [RR]1961-1965=1.10, 95% CI 0.88-1.38; RR1966-1970=1.11, 95% CI 0.92-1.37) and 2001-2010 (RR2001-2005=0.92, 95% CI 0.63-1.34; RR2006-2010=0.84, 95% CI 0.45-1.58) than for the adjacent cohorts. The Bayesian age-period-cohort model projected that PTB incidence will continually increase from 2021 to 2030 and that PTB incidence in 2030 will be 2.28 times higher than that in 2006. The age-specific change was the leading cause for the growing PTB disease burden.

Conclusions

Although there are several levels and measures for PTB control, the disease burden is likely to increase in the future. To bridge the gap of TB-free vision, our study suggests that public health policies be put in place soon, including large-scale active case-finding, priority prevention policies for high-risk older adult and young adult populations, and reduction of possible grandparent-grandchildren transmission patterns.
The effect of stress on the thyroid morphofunctional status (literature review)

Published: October 2023

The article is a literature review on the effect of stress on the thyroid morphofunctional status. The article provides the results of research regarding the effect of various stressors on the thyroid functional state. It also discusses the mechanisms of immune system dysfunction under the influence of stressors that cause autoimmune disorders. The pathophysiological connection between the action of stress hormones and thyroid hormones is described, which consists in changes in the functional state of the thyroid gland depending on the stage of stress. The article also analyzes recent multifactorial population studies on the association of elevated cortisol levels, hyperinsulinemia, hyperleptinemia, and increased neoplastic proliferative activity. The dyshormonal etiology of insulin resistance is based on hypersensitivity due to various factors, which is based on catecholaminergic and serotonergic dysregulatory pathology. As a result, hypercortisolemia occurs. Also, in response to a chronic increase in cortisol level, the expression of leptin increases. Hyperinsulinemia and hyperleptinemia develop under the influence of hypercortisolemia. Patients with obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperleptinemia, hyperinsulinemia have increased level of insulin-like growth factor-1 and other growth factors that participate in the vascular wall remodeling and in the mechanisms of stimulation of the division of various types of cells. There are isolated studies indicating an increased incidence of nodular goiter in people with a negative metabolic phenotype. The presence of hyperinsulinemia and hyperleptinemia can be a crucial marker of the boundary between physiological cell division and neoplastic proliferative activity. Insulin-like growth factor-1 plays a significant role in the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis in terms of energy metabolism and depends on the type of eating behavior. Chronic stress changes eating behavior. Therefore, in this difficult historical period for Ukraine, it is important to study both clinical and pathogenetic aspects of hormonal, immunological, metabolic changes that occur in the body under the influence of chronic stress and contribute to the development of thyroid pathology.

Published: October 2023

Javanese buildings can be understood both physically and non-physically, one of them is the Dalem Ageng Prabayeksa which is in the Dalem Mangkubumen complex. This building has the most important and sacred position in the complex with the uniqueness of the hip roof (limasan), which cannot be found in other hip roof buildings. This study focuses on optical illusions that occur on the roof of the building in front (south) and rear (north) views using explorative descriptive methods. Optical illusions that affect visual perception occur because of the imaginary perspective lines formed from the diagonals of the roof of the building so that an illusion is created that make the roof of the building look wider and taller than it should be. The roof of the building is also formed from proportions that are in accordance with the reference for the building as a house and the building as a place of worship (temples) which supports how optical illusions can occur so that a visual perspective and meaning behind the design of the roof appears which makes sense and is in line with the position of the Dalem Ageng Prabayeksa building as the most important and sacred building in the Dalem Mangkubumen complex.

The fact that the Yogyakarta Palace is a centre and means of embodying cultural values that are still maintained and exist is proven through two aspects intangibles and tangibles. The distribution of local values reality, such as philosophy increasingly being threatened among the younger generation. From the physical revitalisation, we can understand the symbolic meaning of the Yogyakarta Palace through buildings because they contain complete symbolic meanings, especially in Witana Ward's floor elevation. What is the floor elevation shape with the steps? How is the relationship process between geometric shapes and symbolic meanings? What is the symbolic meaning of the floor elevation shape with steps? The research questions align with the urgency to formulate floor elevation shapes with the steps, formulate a relationship process between geometric shapes and symbolic meanings, and formulate the symbolic meaning of the floor elevation shape. The semiotic method with Peirce and Chandler's analytical model will be applied to study the floor elevation forms to uncover latent factors that are produced by truths under local knowledge. The result is a system consisting of three sign components, built from floor elevation shape with the steps objects that have a relationship with Vastu as context.

Authors: Islam Md. Torequl
Published: October 2023

Cancer, the group of diseases, is characterized by an abnormal cell growth and function, thus the complications in physiological homeostasis. Although, not all tumors are cancerous, but after a certain time/biological events they may turn into cancer. That means, it is always a risk to continue with any type of tumor. Over 100 cancers are affecting human are detected till date. Treatments belong to the types and stages of cancers along with the areas (physiological). However, there is no single cancer therapy, which is free from side effects. Additionally, complications in cellular targeting and therapy-induced second cancer are also evident. Combination treatments are also used in some cases, despite the possibility of immunosuppression and a bundle of unavoidable events. Otherwise, cancer treatment in advanced stages and metastasize are yet being considered. Therefore, scientists are always in search for a new and effective mode of cancer treatment, so that they may ensure less or even no side effects with a promising survival rate. In fact, the economy, safety, and effectiveness are the deemed query of both the patients and physicians. Among the others, the markers coming from the changed cell membrane of a cancerous cell may be good sources to ligand targeting, as these are the basic differentiating matter between a normal and cancer cell. In this hypothesis, the membrane marker sensory strategy is going to be introduced theoretically for the first time may be an alternative and effective mode of cancer treatment.

Of these 17 concepts, the most common concept used to evaluate nursing competency in clinical training was communication skills in nurs-ing practice, followed by clinical performance skills, problem-solving skills, self-discipline in learning, critical thinking skills, self-efficacy, and clinical reasoning skills. In terms of teaching modes of delivery in clinical practi-cum, the following modes were commonly used: simulation training, online learning, hybrid learning, and face-to-face training. Regarding teaching methods, high-fidelity simulation, flipped learning, team-based learn-ing, problem-based learning, and role-playing were commonly used in nursing practicum.
Conclusions This literature review identified the commonly used concept of nursing competency in clinical practi-cum, teaching modes of delivery, and teaching methods in the existing literature published before the 4th cycle of the Korean Nursing Education Accreditation evaluation. Given that a new model of the Korean Nursing Education Accreditation was recently launched and new criteria for nursing competency were announced, the current clinical practicum needs to adopt new concepts of nursing competency and revise teaching methods accordingly. Future studies warrant more detailed investigations on evaluating the appropriateness of the sub-categories of clinical training.

Published: October 2023

Objectives The main purpose of this study is to identify factors that improve information competency in elemen-tary, middle, and high school students and quantitatively evaluate their influence. For this purpose, the Random Forest algorithm among the ensemble series of machine learning was utilized. Random Forest is an ensemble technique based on decision trees that reduces the risk of overfitting and has high prediction accuracy and stabil-ity, so it is used in various research and practice. In this study, various variables that affect information competency were extracted based on survey data from elementary, middle, and high school students. Complex interactions between variables were analyzed, and key variables that had a particularly significant impact on information capa-bilities were identified. In addition, Shap Value was used to quantitatively evaluate the influence of each major var-iable, with the goal of clearly understanding the relative importance and influence of each variable.
Methods To fulfill the objectives of this study, we used publicly available data from the National Information Agency, extracting data from 1,469 elementary, middle, and high school students for model training and evaluation. A total of 20 explanatory variables were selected, including information utilization, social relationships, and the level of usage of information-sharing services.
Results The final model built in this study showed performance metrics of Accuracy 0.721, Precision 0.716, Recall 0.723, and F1 Score 0.711. The key influencing variables were identified as digital device usage efficacy, attitudes toward digital technology, information utilization, social relationships and information-sharing services, social capital, information production and sharing levels, usage level of lifestyle services, and digital enablers.
Conclusions The advent of the digital society due to the Fourth Industrial Revolution has made information literacy an essential core competency, playing a crucial role in enhancing individual learning capabilities as well as general competitiveness in everyday life. According to the results of this study, in order to improve the information literacy of elementary, middle, and high school students, education in software and hardware (SW·HW), training in in-formation reproduction through digital device usage, and fostering a positive attitude toward digital technology are necessary.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to verify the relationship among clinical learning environment and emo-tional labor on career identity of nursing students.
Methods The subjects of this study were 283 nursing students in third and fourth grades located in J province, and data were collected using self-administered questionnaires. To analyse the data, Cronbach's α, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, Scheffé test were used with an SPSS 20.0 program.
Results Mean score of subjects was 3.14 clinical learning environment score, 3.35 emotional labor score and 3.02 career identity score. Clinical learning environment showed a significant difference in grade and satisfaction with nursing as a major. Emotional labor showed a significant difference in application motivation, school life and sat-isfaction with nursing as a major. Career identity showed a significant difference in religion, application motivation and satisfaction with nursing as a major. Clinical learning environment and career identity had significant positive correlations. Emotional labor demonstrated a negative correlation with both the clinical learning environment and career identity.
Conclusions The findings of this study revealed that the clinical practice education environment and emotional la-bor exert significant influence on the establishment of career identity among nursing students. Moreover, it was identified that the implementation of a program is necessary to enhance the capacity for managing the negative emotional labor experienced.
DICIONÁRIO DE EDUCAÇÃO E AGROECOLOGIA: A DENÚNCIA E O ANÚNCIO DE PRÁXIS QUE VISEM À EMANCIPAÇÃO HUMANA

O Brasil sofre, atualmente, uma profunda crise ecológica e, diante dessa realidade, precisamos analisar o que denominamos de desenvolvimento, fruto do ímpeto destruidor do capital que se apropria da natureza para manter sua sanha acumuladora. O Painel Internacional das Mudanças Climáticas (IPCC, 2022) demonstra cientificamente que vivemos numa época de emergência climática mundial, de eventos extremos hidrológicos, de ondas de calor, de perda de biodiversidade, do aumento do nível do mar e da erosão costeira, da espoliação e destruição ecológica dos biomas. No caso brasileiro, tais eventos são potencializados pela expansão desenfreada do agronegócio, incrementado pelas políticas neoliberais, avançando incontrolavelmente com seu modelo de monocultura hidrointensivo, químico-dependente e exportador de commodities.
Steaming Ahead: Experiences and the Transition from Sail to Steam
Authors:   , Tinning Morten
Published: October 2023

Technological transformations are hard to grasp. Actors experiencing such transformations and academics studying them both struggle to understand the full meaning and impact of such changes because they fundamentally impact daily work and life. This dissertation explores how Danish seafarers experienced and made sense of the transition from sail to steam. The introduction and diffusion of steam power at sea was a pivotal turning point in maritime history. It shaped the historical reality for actors in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century and captured people’s imagination. So far, research on this process has primarily focused on technological invention, evolution, and implementation. Scholars have also explored national and regional diffusion patterns of steamships and their economic, organisational, and political consequences. However, how people experienced, made sense of, and engaged with the transition from sail to steam remains open. Guided by microhistory methodologies, I suggest studying the transition from sail to steam not as an abstract process but as a lived and narrated experience. Microhistory can grasp and contextualise significant societal and technological transformations by studying subtle and subjective experiences at the micro-level. This approach offers new insights into the relationship between labour, economy, and technology and complements existing economic history and ethnographic approaches in maritime research. By rebalancing structure and agency, I offer novel interpretations of the global transition from sail to steam and suggest a way to discuss large-scale transformations on a global scale through studies of lived experiences and individual agency.

Authors: Salgado Ramiro M. P. C. , Torres Paulo F. A. A. S. , Marinho António A. P.
Published: October 2023

Purpose: To assess the role of femtosecond laser-assisted capsulotomy
centration in the long-term intraocular positioning of a multifocal
intraocular lens. Design: Prospective comparative study. Methods: A
total of 60 eyes of 30 patients underwent femtosecond laser–assisted
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE). For every patient, capsulotomy
centration was randomly performed according to pupil centre (PC) in one
eye and first Purkinje reflex (FPR) in the other. The intraocular lens
(IOL) positioning, visual acuities, spherical equivalent, internal
aberrometry and quality of vision were assessed and compared at 3 years’
follow-up between groups (PC and FPR). Results: Intraocular lens
positioning showed a statistically significant difference between
groups, with a closer centration to the visual axis in the FPR patients
(p=<0.001). Internal aberrometry showed higher values in the
PC capsulotomy centration group (p<0.01). Conclusions: First
Purkinje reflex (FPR) centered capsulotomy is associated to a closer
centration of the IOL to the visual axis.

Published: October 2023

Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles
in cellular processes and disease pathogenesis. In this study aimed was
to investigate the association between expression levels of BAT5
and IL21R-AS1 as two candidate lncRNAs and acute myocardial
infarction (AMI). Methods and Results: In this case-control
study, the relationship between AMI and expression levels of BAT5
(HLA-B-Associated Transcript 5) and IL21R-AS1 (IL21R antisense
RNA 1), in 231 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary
interventions were investigated. Expression levels of lncRNAs in
leukocytes were measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The m
A modification regions and subcellular localizations
of these lncRNAs were predicted by in silico analysis. Ranked
ANCOVA tests were used to compare expression levels of lncRNAs between
groups after adjusting for gender and use of cardiovascular drugs. The
crude and adjusted expression levels of BAT5 and IL21R-AS1
in leukocytes of AMI patients (n=128) were found to decrease compared to
the control cases (n=103) (p<0.01 and p<0.05,
respectively). The intracellular functional localization of both lncRNAs
is non-nuclear. The number of high confidence m A
modification regions of BAT5 and IL21R-AS1 transcripts was
determined as 5 and 4, respectively. Conclusion: This study
indicates that MI patients are associated with decreased expression
levels of BAT5 and IL21R-AS1 in leukocytes compared with
controls and may have an impact on myocardial infarction pathogenesis in
the acute phase.
