Authors: Moore Colman , Tjokro Natalia , Zhang Brendan , Hayati Mohammed , Cheng Yong , Chang Kai Chiao , Chen Casey , Jokerst Jesse
Published: February 2022

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a keystone pathogen in periodontal disease. We herein report a dual-modal fluorescent and photoacoustic imaging probe for the detection of gingipain proteases secreted by P. gingivalis. This probe harnesses the intramolecular dimerization of peptide-linked cyanine dyes to induce fluorescence and photoacoustic off-states. Upon proteolytic cleavage by Arg-specific gingipain (RgpB), five-fold photoacoustic enhancement and >100-fold fluorescence activation was measured with detection limits of 1.1 nM RgpB and 5.0E4 CFU/mL bacteria in vitro. RgpB activity was imaged in the subgingival pocket of porcine jaws with 25 nM sensitivity. The diagnostic efficacy of the probe was evaluated in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples from subjects with (n = 14) and without (n = 6) periodontal disease, wherein activation was correlated to qPCR-based detection of P. gingivalis (Pearson’s r = 0.71). The highest activity was seen in subjects with the most severe disease. Finally, photoacoustic imaging of RgpB-cleaved probe was achieved in murine brains ex vivo, demonstrating relevance and potential utility for animal models of general infection by P. gingivalis, motivated by the recent biological link between gingipain and Alzheimer’s disease.
Time-Resolved Dynamics of Stable Open- and Closed-Shell Neutral Radical and Oxidized Tripyrrindione Complexes
Authors: Cho Byungmoon , Swain Alicia , Gautam Ritika , Tomat Elisa , Huxter Vanessa
Published: February 2022

Stable open- and closed-shell Pd(II) and Cu(II) complexes of hexaethyl tripyrrin-1,14-dione (TD1) produce triplet, doublet or singlet states depending on the metal center and the redox state of the ligand. Pd(II) and Cu(II) form neutral TD1 complexes featuring ligand-based radicals, thus resulting in doublet and triplet states, respectively. The reversible one-electron oxidation of the complexes removes an unpaired electron from the ligand, generating singlet and doublet states. The optical properties and time-resolved dynamics of these systems are studied here using steady-state and ultrafast transient absorption (pump-probe) measurements. Fast relaxation with recovery of the ground state in 10s of picoseconds is observed for the copper neutral radical and oxidized complexes as well as for the palladium neutral radical complex. Significantly longer timescales are observed for the oxidized palladium complex. The ability to tune the overall spin state of the complexes through their stable open shell configurations as well as the reversible redox activity of the tripyrrolic systems makes them particularly interesting for catalytic applications as well as exploring magnetism and conductivity properties.
New classification of EAONO/JOS cholesteatoma and SAMEO-ATO middle ear surgery: relevance and clinical significance
Authors: Pchelenok Ekaterina V. , Tarasova Olga Yu. , Kosyakov Sergey Ya.
Published: February 2022

Middle ear cholesteatoma (MEC) is a common problem of modern otology. The European Academy of Otology and Neurootology in cooperation with the Japanese Otological Society (EAONO/JOS) published consensus recommendations on the definition, classification and stages of MEC in 2017. In 2018, the classification of middle ear surgery was presented under the auspices of the International Otology Outcome Group. The leading problem of MEC surgery remains the high recurrence rate, which ranges from 5 to 32% depending on the type of surgical intervention. The main purpose of this article is to describe the new EAONO/JOS classification of MEC and SAMEO-ATO middle ear surgical interventions with an analysis of their possible clinical significance in determining the risk of cholesteatoma recurrence as well as the prognosis for hearing recovery after surgery.
Atopic skin lesions in pregnant women: how to help patients

Published: February 2022

Many pregnant women experience skin symptoms caused by immunological, metabolic or other changes that occur in their body during pregnancy. One of the most common complaints of pregnant women is itchy skin. In about 20% of cases, itching in pregnant women is associated with atopic skin lesions. Histologically, these lesions are indistinguishable from atopic dermatitis, which also tends to worsen during pregnancy. It is believed that these lesions are due to increased production of Th2 cytokines (interleukin-4 and -10) in the body of a pregnant woman. Topical glucocorticosteroids and skin care products are best treatments for atopic skin lesions of pregnant women and exacerbation of atopic dermatitis. In cases of limited rashes or mild dermatitis, only care products with a strong moisturizing effect can be used. Using moisturizers can help minimize itching and skin discomfort. One of these agents that we use in practice is XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing cream, the unique formula of which not only has a regenerating and antipruritic effect, but also enhances the natural immunity of the skin.
Capabilities of combined peptide drugs in the correction of male infertility (literature review)
Authors: Prokopev Iaroslav V. , Abdrakhmanov Azat R.
Published: February 2022

Acute and chronic urogenital infections are associated with male infertility. Besides "traditional" sexually transmitted infections, there is a significant increase in inflammatory diseases of reproductive system caused by opportunistic pathogens. Studies show that sperm fertility is influenced by direct exposure to sexually transmitted infections, as well as dysfunction of the blood-testicular barrier, leading to autoimmune infertility. In a number of clinical trials, Prostatilen AC was shown to have benefitial effects on the ejaculate.

Authors: Kalane Pule David , Rambuda Awelani Melvin
Published: February 2022

The purpose of this study was to explore factors impacting heads of department’s management of teaching and learning at primary schools in South Africa. The study was based on the Hersey-Blanchard Situational Leadership Model. It adopted a concurrent triangulation mixed-methods research design which combined the positivist and interpretivist paradigms. The sample consisted of 60 heads of department, who responded to a questionnaire, and another additional 10 heads of department who were interviewed. Simple random sampling was used to select the respondents to the questionnaire while purposive sampling was used to select the interviewees. The findings revealed factors such as, inter alia, a lack of administrative and financial support, lack of parental involvement, lack of learner academic development, poor working conditions, insufficient supply of learning support materials, and lack of laboratories. Therefore, this study recommends that there should be sufficient time allocation for heads of department to balance the management of teaching and learning with other roles attached to their job description as outlined in the Personnel Administrative Measures (PAM). Heads of department should be trained and be developed to support teachers and learners to enhance the quality of teaching and learning. They should share the challenges that are experienced in the classrooms with parents to be in a position that enables parents to help teachers. School-parent collaboration will enhance effective management by heads of department. Moreover, the Department of Basic Education officials should provide sustained administrative and financial support to enhance department heads’ management of teaching and learning in primary schools.

Published: February 2022

Human exposure to microplastics through inhalation has been widely reported in recent years. There is a paucity of work focusing on the direct effect of accumulation of microplastics in airways and how it may impact the respiratory function. This study aimed to investigate whether the exposure of microplastic would change the contractility of isolated airway smooth muscle tissue. Microplastics were obtained through milling of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pellets by using a centrifugal mill. To confirm that the milled microplastic particle size range fell within the definition of microplastic, field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) was employed. The milled microplastics particle size ranged from 44.2 µm to 552.4 µm. The organ bath technique was employed to study the direct change of tissue contractility of rat isolated tracheal rings. Tracheal rings were incubated with polyethylene microplastics of different concentrations (0.3 mg/ml to 10 mg/ml) for a minimum of 18 hours in physiological Krebs buffer, followed by the construction of concentration-response curves to a contractile agent, carbachol (muscarinic agonist). Exposure to all concentrations of polyethylene microplastics enhanced the contractile responses of the tissues to carbachol. However, the effect was only statistically significant in tissues incubated at 3 mg/ml and above (p < 0.05). Findings from this study provide preliminary evidence that exposure to polyethylene microplastics adversely affects airway function. Heightened contractile responses of airways mimic the pathophysiological responses in respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic cough and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Further experiments focusing on the possible mechanism of actions of these microplastics affecting the airway tissue function are now needed.

Sistema proxeneta y esclavitud sexual: el caso de los proxenetas rurales del estado de Tlaxcala, México
Authors: Montiel Torres Oscar
Published: February 2022

El artículo se centra en la articulación teórica del sistema proxeneta y la estructura básica de la esclavitud sexual, y es resultado de la investigación sobre los proxenetas rurales del estado de Tlaxcala en México. Se parte de la propuesta hegeliana de la dialéctica del amo y el esclavo para discutir con otras perspectivas teóricas, principalmente feministas, para proponer el concepto de estructura básica de la esclavitud sexual. El análisis permitirá identificar las características de la nueva esclavitud a partir de la comprensión del proceso de proxenetización que se dio en la zona sur del estado de Tlaxcala.Se concluye que el sistema de esclavitud sexual se adapta a prácticas culturales locales, como el robo de la novia, para transformarlas en beneficio del sistema proxeneta.
Esclavitud y tecnología. Una aproximación filosófica, política y ecológica
Authors: Liceaga Mendoza Rodrigo Iván
Published: February 2022

En tiempos de crisis ecológicas y de creciente expansión digital y tecnológica, el presente artículo analiza cómo, desde una perspectiva político-filosófica y político-ecológica, tanto esclavitud como tecnología comparten una forma de constituir la relación entre lo humano y la naturaleza. Al abordar la continuidad que existe entre ambas en términos de premisas metafísicas y procesos socio-históricos y ecológicos compartidos, el artículo contribuye a comprender mejor las implicaciones de la creciente expansión tecnológica y plantea que tanto tecnología como esclavitud producen ruptura y distancia en los lugares de donde extraen sus componentes funcionales y ocultan y silencian la diversidad de cuerpos y de relaciones ecológicas locales que les dieron origen para apropiarlos como instrumentos en entornos distintos.

Published: February 2022

Entrevista realizada a Andrés de Francisco, especialista en el tema de las nuevas formas de esclavitud. La esclavitud está entre nosotros. No desapareció con la extinción de las sociedades esclavistas antiguas ni se evaporó con la emergencia de las revoluciones modernas asociadas al lenguaje de los derechos. En pleno siglo XXI, las formas de la esclavitud moderna y contemporánea se han diversificado y sus dispositivos de dominación y opresión se han perfeccionado. Millones de personas en América Latina, Estados Unidos, Europa y el mundo entero se encuentran sometidas de facto a condiciones estructurales y existenciales que podríamos representar bajo el sello de la esclavitud: trabajadoras/ trabajadores del hogar, trabajadoras/trabajadores sexuales, migrantes, trabajadores/ trabajadoras agrícolas, niñas y niños, personas de la tercera edad, etcétera. Para hablar sobre la esclavitud y sus expresiones contemporáneas entrevistamos a Andrés de Francisco. Más que una entrevista tradicional donde predomina una relación asimétrica entre entrevistado y entrevistadores, se trata de un diálogo directo y horizontal entre colegas de “ambos lados del charco” que se ocupan (y preocupan) de algunos de los temas más controvertidos de su tiempo. El Dr. Andrés de Francisco es filósofo y profesor titular de la Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociología de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM).

Os "Movimentos" e a pastoral latino-americana
Authors: Comblin José
Published: February 2022

Chamamos de «pastoral latino-americana» a pastoral eclesial definida pelas conferências episcopais de Medellín e Puebla. Esta pastoral está sendo desafiada cada vez mais pela importância que vão adquirindo os chamados «Movimentos». De modo algum os «Movimentos» se opõem à pastoral adotada pelos bispos latino-americanos. Porém, eles nasceram e se formaram em outro contexto, a partir de outras necessidades e sensibili¬dades, de tal sorte que o seu crescimento, que, por outro lado, é motivo de tanta satisfação e alegria por parte da Igreja, não deixa de constituir um sério desafio para os programas pastorais de Medellín e Puebla. Trata-se de um corpo novo entrando no conjunto da pastoral. Como poderá este corpo novo ser assimilado ou assumido? Como poderá evitar-se a formação de uma pastoral paralela, sem contato com a pastoral oficial dos bispos? Como poderão evitar-se conflitos nas fronteiras e nos encontros circunstanciais?...
Discernimento cristão e contexto sócio-político
Authors: Miranda Mário de França
Published: February 2022

O título desta breve reflexão procura já definir seus propósitos e seus limites. «Discernimento cristão» indica aqui o processo, cognoscitivo e volitivo, que antecede uma opção séria que se quer de fato «cristã»; logo não trataremos diretamente do discernimento sócio-político de um cristão diante de sistemas, ideologias, programas políticos ou linhas de ação diversas. «Contexto sócio-político» quer apenas dizer que a situação concreta na qual se encontra o cristão não é alheia a seu discernimento, não só por ser o cristianismo uma grandeza social que interfere e sofre influência da sociedade, mas também pela sua reivindicação de oferecer um sentido radical à história humana, englobando em sua compreensão a organização da sociedade, e fazendo de toda opção realmente cristã uma interpelação à ordem social concreta. Neste sentido todo discernimento cristão se dá num contexto determinado, cultural, psicológico, etc. Ao exprimir numa unidade estas duas realidades revelamos a intenção de fundo, que deu origem a esta reflexão: fazer aflorar as exigências postas a um discernimento cristão pela realidade sócio-política; com outras palavras, chamar a atenção, de quem está diante de uma opção séria, que se quer fiel ao Evangelho, para as leis e mecanismos de ordem sócio-política que devem ser respeitados.

Background

Ghana had significant reductions in neonatal mortality during the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) era. Few studies have attempted to identify the interventions, programs and policies that contributed to this progress. To understand the underlying factors which contributed to the reduction in neonatal mortality and to inform strategies to reach the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target to end preventable neonatal deaths, we conducted a mixed-methods study in the Northern, Upper West, and Volta Regions of Ghana.

Methods

The quantitative component consisted of an analysis of trends in coverage of key neonatal health interventions using subnational data from the Ghana Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS). The Lives Saved Tool (LiST) was used to assess the contribution of various neonatal health interventions which resulted in reductions in neonatal mortality. Qualitative in-depth interviews (N=38) were conducted with government health officials, health workers, staff from non-government organizations, and community leaders, including traditional birth attendants and local chiefs from the Northern Region of Ghana.

Findings

Multiple interventions and contextual factors contributed to declines in the neonatal mortality rate (NMR) in all three regions. The Volta and Upper West Regions improved labor and delivery management practices which accounted for approximately one-third of the decline in NMR. The Northern Region had a substantial decline in NMR; the greatest proportion of the decline was attributed to control and management of infections in newborns (sepsis and pneumonia). Qualitative interviews suggest that improvements in neonatal survival were achieved through the prioritization of neonatal health at community-based health planning (CHPS) compounds and the development of a national-level strategic plan, coupled with neonatal health-related training for health workers. The establishment of neonatal intensive care units and strong partnership with local leaders and women’s groups to increase facility births and promote clean birth practices were also considered important.

Conclusions

The strategies that supported the reductions span from national-level policy intervention to facility-based quality improvement, to community level engagement. These strategies can be continued, strengthened, and scaled to improve neonatal survival in the SDG era.

Published: February 2022

Heat production associated with every machining operation has a significant effect on the cutting temperature and drilling time. Such effect is mitigated through the application of cutting fluids that would help to conduct off the generated heat actuated by the frictional contact between the tool and workpiece cutting zone. The effects of the vegetable oils (Gmelina oil, Neem oil and Castor oil) and conventional soluble oil on the cutting temperature and drilling time were studied at various spindle speeds, feed rates and cutting speeds. The vegetable oils were extracted from their various seeds using solvent and pressing method. A minimum quantity lubricating (MQL) system was set-up and was used to control the flow of the cutting fluid to the drilling zone of the tool-workpiece interface. A vertical drilling machine having a 20mm drill bit size was used to drill a through hole of 40mm depth on a mild steel material. During the drilling process, the cutting fluid was applied to the drilling zone using the MQL system and the cutting temperature and drilling time were measured with an infra-red thermometer and a stop watch respectively. The results gotten from the experiment showed that Gmelina oil gave the lowest cutting temperature and drilling time. This was followed by soluble oil, Neem oil and then Castor oil. Under a dry drilling condition, the cutting temperature and drilling time obtained were the highest compared to other cutting fluids applied conditions. Therefore, cutting fluids application reduces the cutting temperature and drilling time and should be employed in industrial operations for the attainment of good machining characteristics.

From the concept of economic development to local economic development
Authors: Namita Kumari  , Suman Bhanoo
Published: February 2022

Growth in Gross domestic product or per capita income is a necessary element of economic development but not sufficient one. This separates economic growth from economic development. These days the Human development index is also taken as the most important measure for economic development. However with the failure of trickle-down theory, economists started looking for other dimensions related to developmental economics. Local economic development shifts the focus both in terms of actors and activities. It demands human, institutional and physical resources to be used at locally to develop any particular region. Although many theories have tried to explain local economic development, there is no comprehensive theory has come up. Blakely in his work has tried to synthesize all the relevant theories. This article also provides two examples related to both these policies to highlight the importance of local development.
