Circulating tumor cells as potential prognostic biomarkers for early-stage pancreatic cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Zhang Zi-Han , Bao Yi-Wen , Zhao Ya-Jun , Wang Jian-Quan , Guo Jin-Tao , Sun Si-Yu
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Pancreatic cancer is difficult to be diagnosed early clinically, while often leads to poor prognosis. If optimal personalized treatment plan can be provided to pancreatic cancer patient at an earlier stage, this can greatly improve overall survival (OS). Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are a collective term for various types of tumor cells present in the peripheral blood (PB), which are formed by detachment during the development of solid tumor lesions. Most CTCs undergo apoptosis or are phagocytosed after entering the PB, whereas a few can escape and anchor at distal sites to develop metastasis, increasing the risk of death for patients with malignant tumors.

AIM

To investigate the significance of CTCs in predicting the prognosis of early pancreatic cancer patients.

METHODS

The PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biology Medicine, and ChinaInfo databases were searched for articles published through December 2022. Studies were considered qualified if they included patients with early pancreatic cancer, analyzed the prognostic value of CTCs, and were full papers reported in English or Chinese. Researches were selected and assessed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses protocol and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale criteria. We used a funnel plot to assess publication bias.

RESULTS

From 1595 publications, we identified eight eligible studies that collectively enrolled 355 patients with pancreatic cancer. Among these original studies, two were carried out in China; three in the United States; and one each in Italy, Spain, and Norway. All eight studies analyzed the relevance between CTCs and the prognosis of patients with early-stage pancreatic cancer after surgery. A meta-analysis showed that the patients that were positive pre-treatment or post-treatment for CTCs were associated with decreased OS [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.93, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.197-3.126, P = 0.007] and decreased relapse-free/disease-free/progression-free survival (HR = 1.27, 95%CI: 1.137-1.419, P < 0.001) in early-stage pancreatic cancer. Additionally, the results suggest no statistically noticeable publication bias for overall, disease-free, progression-free, and recurrence-free survival.

CONCLUSION

This pooled meta-analysis shows that CTCs, as biomarkers, can afford reliable prognostic information for patients with early-stage pancreatic cancer and help develop individualized treatment plans.

Creativity is the ability of individuals to produce valuable things. If the photographic expression process can demonstrate different ideas and application through multiple thinking and confluent viewpoints, it will create valuable images. Few studies on learning photography by vocational high school design department students use the Self-Reporting Scale of Photographic Creativity. To make up for that shortcoming, this study explores the studies of education innovation through multiple thinking and confluent viewpoints, understands the components of photographic creativity, and compiles the Scale of Photographic Creativity to evaluates students’ performance of photographic creativity. The researcher uses 781 vocational high school design department students in Taiwan as the research objects to conduct scale pretests and then the formal tests. After the item analysis and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) are conducted in the pre-test phase, the results showed that the scale contains a seven -factor structure: Environmental Theme Observation, Personality Trait Exploration, Motivation Theme Establishment, Wisdom Concept Development, Use of Thinking Patterns, Photographic Knowledge Application, and Value Image, and the analysis results of each item are good. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) performed in the formal tests, also show that the seven -factor structure of this scale has a goodness-of-fit.

 
Hemi-diaphragmatic paralysis
Authors: Otome Ugoeze , Castillo Christian , Soto-Ruiz Astrid , Megchelsen Rebecca
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Diaphragmatic paralysis (DP) involving the phrenic nerve is related to brachial plexus injury in 80–90% of the cases. Other causes include iatrogenic procedure involving the cardiopulmonary area. It causes respiratory distress which can be severe requiring prolonged need for respiratory support. Recovery can be spontaneous, typically by the first 6–12 months of life though some infants may require surgical intervention if no improvement in DP is noted by 1–2 months of life in the setting of compromised quality of life.

Case Report: We present a preterm infant, 31 completed weeks of gestational age, birth weight 1440 g born via emergency C-section due to preterm labor in breech presentation. During delivery, the patient suffered a left brachial plexus injury with phrenic nerve involvement. He developed respiratory distress requiring endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. His clinical course involved multiple failed extubation attempts. Chest X-ray (CXR) and chest fluoroscopy confirmed the diagnosis of left hemi-diaphragmatic paralysis. The patient had a prolonged respiratory support course but was finally weaned to room air by three months of age.

Conclusion: Preterm infants can sustain perinatal brachial plexus injury like term or near-term infants in the setting of a traumatic birth irrespective of birth weight. The time and indications for conservative (non-surgical) versus surgical intervention remains debatable. Each case should be tailored to the child’s severity of injury and quality of life and growth. Clinical recovery can occur even with considerable persistence weakness on radiography or chest ultrasound.

Authors: Ali Hamada
Published: November 2023

Climate Change discusses the long-term metrological conditions and patterns. Besides nature, human development has drastically increased the chances of climate change by burning fossil fuels, including oil, gas, and coal. That resulted in turbulence among humans and plants, and animals. This vulnerability or changing climate dynamics has impacted the plants that are the earth's primary source of life. Egypt is one of the countries where the temperature has risen in the past decades due to climate change. In this country, the plants are affected by the vulnerability of this dynamic change of climate, especially the rare plant species. One of the most essential and abundant tools for determining plant species' biological and conservation activity is the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red list. Two species, namely Micromeria serbaliana and Veronica kaiseri, which are called out as critically endangered species, are evaluated in this study. After evaluation, it was seen that Micromeria serbaliana falls under the category of B1ab (iii) + 2ab (iii) and is termed an Endangered (EN) specie. The same situation is for another targeted species which is Veronica kaiseri, which qualifies as Endangered (EN) under categories B1ab (iii) +2ab (iii). Both species are declining and severely getting fragmented in their fields.

Background: Hysterectomy is a major and one of the commonest gynaecological procedures performed by gynaecologists, world over. It is the surgical removal of the uterus either through the vagina or an abdominal incision. Being such a major procedure in gynaecological practice with consequences on reproduction and sexual performance, we undertook this audit in the private hospital to review its prevalence, indication and outcomes. Aim: The aim of this study was to review the indications and outcomes of all cases of TAH in a private hospital Methodology: This was a 3-year retrospective study in a private hospital in Enugu, south-east, Nigeria. Result: From the theatre register and case files of patients, it was found that a total of 58 patients had major gynaecological surgeries in the centre. Out of this total, 20 were TAH giving a prevalence of 34.5% of major gynaecological surgeries. The socio-demographic distribution of the patients shows that 12(60%) were aged between 46 and 55, 10(50%) were civil servants and 10(50%) had tertiary education. Majority of them 8(40%) were para 4, followed by para3 (20%). The major indications were symptomatic uterine fibroid, 9(45%) and abnormal uterine bleeding 8(40%). Conclusion: Total abdominal hysterectomy was a common gynaecological procedure and the major indications were symptomatic uterine fibroids and abnormal uterine bleeding.

Naturalism of consciousness: A dialogue between Colin McGinn and Owen Flanagan
Authors:   Department of Philosophy, University of Nigeria Nsukka, Obiora Anichebe , Christian Nnabuike Onoja ,   Department of Philosophy, University of Nigeria Nsukka
Published: November 2023

Opinions are divided among naturalists on whether we can specify any property of the brain as the basis of consciousness. This is the question of naturalism of consciousness. While constructive naturalists hold that naturalism is possible, anti-constructive naturalists don’t think so. Owen Flanagan falls within the former camp, while McGinn is an anti-constructive naturalist. In this study, we assess the contributions of McGinn and Flanagan with respect to the possibility of naturalising consciousness. The research demonstrates that constructive naturalism is more plausible than anti-constructive naturalism. We do this through the following routes: 1) highlighting the weaknesses in McGinn’s postulation of the “hidden structure” of consciousness; 2) projecting the explanatory relevance of Flanagan’s use of brain scanner technology in consciousness studies; and 3) demonstrating, on the basis of science, how the immaterial can emerge from matter. The paper concludes that through the science of consciousness, we can achieve possible naturalism of consciousness.

Published: November 2023

Objective: This study entailed the diagnostic validation of an automated system utilized for the detection of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) through the indirect immunofluorescence method, juxtaposed with the traditional manual approach for ANA detection. The study was undertaken in the Department of Chemical Pathology at Chughtai Laboratory, Lahore, spanning a period of three months, from December 2018 to February 2019. Methods: A total of 132 patient samples were gathered for the purpose of conducting this validation study. The manual detection of ANA was performed by using slides coated with HEp-2 cells. An LED fluorescence microscope was used for the interpretation of results by a trained technologist as well as by a pathologist. After manual detection of ANA, the same specimens were evaluated by a fully automated ANA-IIF detection system which has inbuilt characteristics of slide processing, microscopy, image capturing and displaying specific ANA patterns. The results were interpreted as positive for those samples having sample titers more than 1:80. The same criteria of positivity were used for both manual and automatic systems. Results: A total of 132 specimens underwent evaluation through both manual and automated ANA indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) detection systems. The concordance between these two methodologies exhibited an overall agreement of 95.7%, with a positive agreement of 97.5% and a negative agreement of 94.9%. Cohen's kappa value stood at 91.7% (ranging from 83.4% to 98.9%), indicating a robust correlation between the two detection systems. The diagnostic sensitivity of the fully automated IIF methodology demonstrated 89.38% (with a 95% confidence interval of 77.24% to 96.13%) and the diagnostic specificity of 95.22% (with a 95% confidence interval of 87.88% to 98.76%). Conclusion: The fully automated showed strong correlation with manual ANA detection methodology based on the principle of indirect immunofluorescence.

Published: November 2023

Background: Evaluating medical colleges' teaching staff performance is an essential topic for evaluating academic performance. Objective: To assess the academic performance of the teaching staff in the pediatric, surgical, and gynecology branches in comparison to the medicine branch performance from 2014 to 2018. Methods: The total number and the number of failed students being examined in final years were obtained officially from the examination committee in Mustansiriyah Medical College for the final 6th-year students for the four main branches (medicine, pediatrics, surgery, and obstetrics and gynecology). The students' number in the medicine branch was used as the control group against which the performance of other branches was compared. We utilized the odds ratio from meta-analysis statistics and compared student failure and success rates. Results: The odd ratio of pediatric branch performance versus medicine branch was 1.02 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.68–1.53, while for surgery, it was 0.67 with a 95% CI (0.46 to 0.98) and 3.13 with a 95% CI (1.79 to 5.47) for the obstetrics and the gynecology departments. Conclusion: The performance of the pediatric branch was the only one compatible with the performance of the medicine branch. In contrast, both the surgery and gynecology branches significantly deviated from the medicine branch's performance. Further research is needed to pinpoint the causes of these performance deviations.

Suicide is a significant issue for public health worldwide since suicide is not something that happens randomly but is influenced by social and environmental variables as well. At the same time, effective early diagnosis and treatment may lead to several positive health and behavioural results. Suicide persists undiagnosed and untreated for many reasons, including denial of sickness and cultural and social disgrace. Through the ubiquity of social media, by expressing opinions, thoughts and everyday struggles with mental health on social media, millions of people are sharing their online identity. As opposed to typical retrospective research that uses self-reported surveys and questionnaires, this study assesses the validity of identifying suicidal symptoms using Twitter tweets that were gathered over more than a year, using a variety of online web-blogging sites as points of reference. For recognizing tweets expressing suicidal thoughts, three sets of characteristics are employed for training the dataset employing base and ensemble classifiers. The Rotation Forest (RF) approach is the preferred baseline, and the Maximum Probability Voting Decision approach is used in seven different labelled classes relating to suicide communication and class demonstrating suicidal thoughts. With the suicidal ideation class scoring 0.76 and the suicidal contents for all seven classes scoring 0.82, this revised model was able to attain an F-measure. To increase awareness of the vocabulary made use of on Twitter to express suicidal thoughts, the findings are summarized by highlighting the predictive principal component of suicide communication in classrooms.

Authors: Wu Shengdong
Published: November 2023

The Cold War has always been a historical stage that has attracted much attention. This historical stage has profoundly affected todays international situation and peoples perception of great power competition. The Cold War lasted for nearly forty-four years. During this nearly half a century, the US and the Soviet Union used almost all means of confrontation except direct armed conflict to achieve the effect of suppressing each other. By analyzing past historical events and cases for example, this paper mainly discusses the causes of the Cold War and how it prevent armed conflict from becoming two topics of widespread concern, and it concludes that the outbreak of the Cold War was related to the anarchy among the great powers, and also related to the differences in economic systems between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The Cold War prevented nuclear war but intensified conventional war to some extent. This paper aims to tell people that the Cold War is not an ideal state of the international community, all countries should learn lessons from the Cold War to avoid the recurrence of this unhealthy international pattern.
Approaching the European Union Directive on Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Through the Lens of the Principle of Good Faith
Authors: Zhang Ruichen , Bi Qianyun
Published: November 2023

The article aims to delve into the nuanced interpretation of the principle of good faith within the domain of unfair terms prevalent in consumer contracts. This principle has proven pivotal in appraising the fairness of terms, serving as a benchmark. Its multifaceted application across legal domains necessitates a precise explication of its contextual significance. Emphasizing the imperative to delineate the exact connotation of the good faith principle in the judicial realm of consumer safeguarding, the article subsequently elucidates this proposition through a meticulous analysis of the Directive and its corresponding legal cases. However, the initial analysis underscores the Directives somewhat ambiguous delineation of the good faith principle. This prompts an inquiry into whether such ambiguity hampers the comprehensive evolution of this principle within the broader context of EU private law. Consequently, the subsequent discourse endeavors to rationalize this aspect within a redefined comprehension of the jurisprudential underpinning of the Directive.
Cautious or Fearless: A Comparative Analysis of the Policies of the Nixon and Trump Administrations Regarding the Inclusion of the South China Sea Region in the Scope of the Mutual Defense Treaty Between the Republic of the Philippines and the United States of America
Authors: Chen Shitian
Published: November 2023

Since the Philippines began to have disputes regarding the South China Seas territorial sovereignty with China in the end of 1960s, it has engaged in a long-term game with its greater ally of whether the Mutual Defense Treaty between the Republic of the Philippines and the United States of America applies to the region. The Nixon administration was regarded as the basic positioning period of the US policy on the US-Philippines alliance during the Cold War, holding a vague attitude. However, during the Trump era, Washington clearly offered the Philippines security guarantees for this region, indicating a significant policy-making shift. This article selects the Nixon and Trump administrations as cases, utilizing the theoretical framework of the entrapment dilemma in alliance management theory which aims to investigate into the reasons why the two administrations held extremely different attitudes towards whether to include the South China Sea region in the scope of the MDT and analyze the cost-benefit considerations of Washington in managing the Asia-Pacific military alliance. The conclusion is that in the Nixon era, the US tended to avoid being entrapped because it was not worth the deterioration in relations with China and other informal allied countries only to maintain its alliance with the Philippines. However, during the Trump administration, to enhance its military presence in this region, maintain and strengthen a series of Asia-pacific military alliances, the US is willing to bear the risk of entrapment.
Research on Bilingual Acquisition Based on Ambiguity Sentences
Authors: Hao Jingyao
Published: November 2023

Language ambiguity is one of the difficulties in learning a language. Chinese is one of the most difficult languages in the world to learn because of its various ambiguities. This paper mainly explores the phenomenon of ambiguity in Chinese, and summarizes the research status of ambiguity among domestic and foreign scholars. The phenomenon of ambiguity is analyzed by reading literature and searching example sentences in the corpus. First of all, through reading the literature to understand the definition and classification of ambiguity. Then the impact of ambiguity on bilingual learners from the phonetic, lexical and grammatical aspects is analyzed. Among them, the grammatical aspect is further divided into the ambiguity of the syntactic plane, the ambiguity of the semantic plane and the ambiguity of the pragmatic aspect; finally, corresponding suggestions for teaching Chinese as a foreign language are put forward from the aspects of phonetics, vocabulary and grammar. For teachers, it is not only necessary to help students establish a correct attitude to deal with ambiguity, but also to avoid strange phenomena through some teaching methods such as pinyin or Chinese characters. And to help students develop good study habits, second language learners should really understand the meaning of the sentences, not just memorize each sentence mechanically. At the same time, teachers can create various contexts to help bilingual learners understand sentences and eliminate ambiguity.

The Primacy of National Policies in Navigating the Local-Global Nexus: A Case Study of the Plastic Crisis
Authors: Liu Yuhao
Published: November 2023

Against the backdrop of the escalating plastic crisis, exacerbated by human activities and posing a significant public concern, this study seeks to evaluate the role of various policy-making levels in environmental intervention. The core subject of investigation is the integral function of national lawmakers in spearheading effective environmental policy strategies while contextualizing the coordination of local and international policymakers. Using practical policy examples as primary tools for analysis, the study delves into the dynamics between the three tiers of policy-making and gleans evidence underlining the centrality of national players. Results indicate that while local and international policies offer solutions, they are often impeded by inherent policy limitations. National policies, powered by vast resources and political clout, emerge as pivotal, capable of overhauling plastic production, consumption, and disposal mechanisms. The research concludes that to holistically address the plastic crisis spawned by market failures, a blend of governmental intervention, primarily driven by national policymakers, and complemented by local and international cooperation, is imperative. Additionally, the future necessitates not only a reduction in plastic use but also the pursuit of viable plastic alternatives to combat pollution comprehensively.
An Analysis of the Content of Article 12 of the Rome Statute and the Relationship Between Article 12 and Article 98
Authors: Mao Lingxiao
Published: November 2023

This article explores the dilemma for the International Criminal Court of its jurisdiction and cooperation with non-parties, combining normative and empirical analyses. The complementary jurisdiction under Article 12 of the Rome Statute plays a carrot and stick role, and the voluntary declaration mechanism of non-parties corresponds with the international law principles, while the vague wording of the text contributes to a certain degree of interpretation, suggesting the Court to adopt a flexible and cautious approach.From the provisional consensual nature between Article 12 and Article 98, the receiving state should be obliged to collaborate with the ICC under international customary law, but in practice, third parties often seek exemptions from the Security Council and conclude bilateral agreements to substantively limit the ICCs jurisdictional cooperation in enforcement under Article 98. Behind the dilemma of jurisdiction and enforcement is the structural contradiction between the demand for ending impunity under the humanistic perspective and the respect for state sovereignty under the principle of complementarity. States shall define legal circumvention, while the ICC should improve the initiation mechanism rather than arbitrarily expanding jurisdictional interpretations.

Authors: Wu Xinyi
Published: November 2023

In recent years, China has actively adjusted its foreign policy, integrated into the international order with a more open attitude, and strived to play Chinas role in the region and the world and shoulder Chinas responsibilities. However, the United States and some of Chinas neighbors view Chinas rise with suspicion and fear, and vigorously promote the China threat theory. Based on this background, this paper puts forward the research topic of whether the China threat theory represents Chinas international role from the perspective of the transformation of Chinas foreign policy. As a rising power, it is of great significance in the field of international relations to understand whether the purpose of Chinas rise poses a threat to other countries and the current international order. This paper uses the qualitative analysis method to analyze and study the South China Sea dispute and the Diaoyu Island issue as cases, and draws the conclusion that the China threat theory is not Chinas current international role.

Answer Me! Factors Affecting Students Propensity to Ask Questions in Class and How Stimuli Polish Student Questioning
Authors: Wang Chufei
Published: November 2023

Student voluntary question-asking enhances student engagement and academic achievements. Nevertheless, there is little understanding of the mechanism of questioning. Against this background, the primary objectives of the present study were to do a comprehensive evaluation encompassing three dimensions of students questioning behaviour, namely the motivations underlying their question-asking, the types of questions, and the strategies employed in encouraging more questions. This study has found that classroom environment, students self-efficacy and self-awareness, peer influence, and gender & cultural factors are the main factors influencing students propensity to ask questions. Question types can be divided into procedural and content-related, from which students generate their questions. In addition to the unimportant off-task attention questioning, confirmation, on-task attention questioning, and clarification are low-order questioning while evaluation, comparison, problem-solving, cause and effect/correlation, and extended questions are valued as high-order ones. Class material, class strategies, and teacher intervention are supposed to be utilized and upgraded to polish students question-asking in both quantity and quality. Based on the comprehensive analysis, more research should be done into teachers perceptions of receiving and responding to different kinds of questions and their proper intervention in student questioning.

Published: November 2023

The once highly prosperous industrialization brought a large population to Cairo, but now Cairo faces a series of problems such as a lack of infrastructure, a large wealth gap, and extreme religious hazards, making it unable to continue accommodating so many residents. In this situation, the Egyptian authorities chose to alleviate the population pressure in Cairo by relocating their capital, but for the poor who make up the majority of Cairos population, they cannot afford the cost of relocating to the new capital. In response to this situation, this paper chooses to start from several aspects such as public transportation, public service facilities, and residential houses in old Cairo. Through measures such as the three-dimensional transformation of transportation, supplementation of social infrastructure, and renovation and reuse of old houses, The living environment of the poor in Cairo can be improved, and conditions can be created for the poor to move out of the slums, thereby fundamentally solving the problem of excessive poverty.
An Analysis of Simple Lines and Emotions in Chinese Population: Concave for Happy, Convex for Sad
Authors: Qiu Tongyu , Luo Kangjingyu
Published: November 2023

There has been an abiding interest in how faces convey emotions. The facial information related to the emotion can be processed from the face independently of the context. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether concave and convex lines could convey emotional meaning to Chinese participants. A total of forty Chinese university students participated in the study and completed an implicit association test. Participants were required to match basic lines (concave, convex, straight) with or without eye dots to emotion words (happy or sad). Results showed participants associated happy more quickly with concave lines and sad more quickly with convex lines compared to other lines. This provides preliminary evidence that simple lines can communicate emotions. However, differences in response times were not statistically significant. Adding eye shapes also did not significantly impact response speeds or change line-emotion associations. More research is needed to systematically test how basic shapes and facial features convey distinct emotions across cultures.
Public Attitudes Toward Interracial Relationships: A Case Study on Gender Comparison
Authors: Xu Ranjing
Published: November 2023

In recent years, interracial relationships have been widely discussed in China. By analyzing public attitudes towards interracial relationships, this paper provides an overview of peoples different attitudes toward womens interracial relationships and mens interracial relationships on Chinese social media. It introduces three cases of interracial relationships, including two womens interracial relationships and one mens interracial relationship and compares peoples different attitudes. This approach explains why Chinese social media users have such different attitudes from the perspective of ethnocentrism and patriarchy. Through a combination of theory and examples, the study points out that ethnocentrism causes people to think negatively about interracial relationships, while patriarchy leads to gender differences in attitudes toward interracial relationships, which is a double standard. Additionally, this research highlights that the discrimination and stigmatization of interracial relationships and female groups can be improved in the long term by the policymakers efforts through publicity and education.
