Clustering of metabolic risk factors and cancer risk: a Self-Organizing Map approach
Authors: Ramezankhani Azra , Azizi Fereidoun , Hadaegh Farzad
Published: July 2019

Background: We examined the synergistic effects of multiple metabolic risk factors (MRFs) and cancer risk among Iranian adults.
Methods: Among 8593 (3929 men) participants aged ≥30 years, the Self-organizing map (SOM) was applied to clustering of four MRFs including high fasting plasma glucose (HFPG), high total cholesterol (HTC), high systolic blood pressure (HSBP) and high body mass index (HBMI). The Cox proportional hazards model was used to investigate the association between clusters with cancer incidence during a median of 14.0 years.
Results: About 32 and 40% of men and women, respectively, had three or four MRFs. We identified seven clusters of MRFs in both men and women. In both genders, MRFs were clustered in those with older age. Further, inverse associations were found between smoking in men and education level in women and clustering of MRFs. In men, a cluster with 100% HSBP and HBMI had the highest risk for overall cancer. While, among women, a cluster with 100% HFPG and 93% HBMI yielded the highest risk for cancer. The risk was decreased when HBMI accompanied by HTC.
Conclusions: Clustering patterns may reflect underlying link between MRFs and cancer and could potentially facilitate tailored health promotion interventions.
The problem of melting ice in a porous medium saturated with ice and gas
Authors: Zapivakhina M.N. , Umerov D.A
Published: July 2019

The problem of ice formation in a dry, cold, porous medium saturated with ice and gas (air) when pumping warm water is considered in a flat one-dimensional self-similar formulation. The task was considered in volume area. During the injection of warm water from the beginning deep into the reservoir, it spread in a volume region that will divide the reservoir into 3 zones. The first zone was filled with water, the second zone was filled with ice and water, and the third zone was filled with ice and gas. To describe the process of heat and mass transfer, the following hypotheses were used: the temperature of the saturated substance (water, ice or gas) is equal to the temperature of the porous medium; ice and skeleton still; water, ice and skeleton of the reservoir are incompressible; skeletal porosity is constant. On the basis of constructed self-similar solutions, a numerical analysis was performed illustrating the effect of the initial parameters of a dry porous medium saturated with ice and gas, as well as the temperature of the injected water on the temperature and pressure distribution in the porous medium. It has been established that an increase in the temperature of the injected water does not lead to a significant increase in the area of ice decomposition. It is also established that if the pressure of the injected water is increased, this will not lead to a large increase in the area of ice decomposition. However, based on the results obtained, it can be seen that the speed of movement of the melting boundary increases, in particular, as the pressure increases by pe=0.05 MPa, the intermediate region increases by one and a half times. It was found that it is economically more profitable to pump water with a lower temperature, because water with a higher temperature slightly increases the freezing area of the porous soil.
Convection of thermoviscouse fluid in a cell heated from the side
Authors: Kuleshov V.S. , Moiseev K.V.
Published: July 2019

The work is devoted to the peculiarities of free-convective flow of liquids with viscosity temperature anomaly (the presence of extremes on the viscosity curve). Examples of such liquids are polymer solutions, metal melts, well-purified liquid sulfur, and other fluids. The mechanism of the anomalous viscosity behavior of such liquids (in the case of polymers) can be explained by polymerization and depolymerization reactions. At a certain temperature interval, the molecules of a substance interlock, forming long chains and, as a result, increasing the viscosity, then when the upper limit polymerization temperature is reached, the reaction begins that is reverse to the polymerization, which proceeds according to the chain mechanism and results in the sequential cleavage of molecules from the chain and leads to a decrease in viscosity . The features of behavior of such environments are currently not well understood and require increased attention to experimental and theoretical studies, especially now, mainly due to the intensive development of computer technologies and numerical modeling. Based on computational experiments on the process of free convection of a liquid with a Gaussian dependence of viscosity on temperature, the possibility of the existence of isolated regimes of convection of a liquid in a square cell heated from the side is shown. It was assumed that the viscosity function has one extremum and is unambiguously described by two parameters: the ratio of the highest to the lowest viscosity at a given temperature range and the degree of fullness of a given temperature range. As a mathematical model, a system of equations was used in the Oberbeck–Boussinesq approximation. For the numerical solution of the system of equations, the control volume method with the SIMPLE procedure is modified and implemented.
Statins as the Controlling Agents for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas via Increasing the Casein Kinase 2 Interacting Protein-1: A Hypothesis
Authors: Kazemi Kimia , Mozafari Negin , Ashrafi Hajar , Rafiei Pedram , Azadi Amir
Published: July 2019

Background:

Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL), derived from B- or T-cell, consist of a heterogeneous
group of malignant lymphoproliferative disorders. Knockdown of Casein kinase 2 interacting
protein-1 (CKIP-1) in NHL promoted cell proliferation and inhibited apoptosis via enhancing phosphorylated
Protein Kinase B (PKB or AKT) expression. Statins are the class of drugs that inhibit the ratelimiting
step of the mevalonate pathway, which is essential for the biosynthesis of various compounds, including
cholesterol. Also, statins have anticancer properties being mediated by different mechanisms.

Methods:

A search on databases like Scopus and PubMed with keywords such as statin and non-
Hodgkin's lymphomas was performed and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) website
was used to evaluate and reconfirm the involved cellular signaling pathway.

Results:

CKIP-1 is involved in the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis while plays an important
role in many cancers. We can hypothesize that statins may increase the expression levels of CKIP-1 which
could contribute to the reductions in phospho-AKT level. Hence, they may ameliorate the NHL patients
via suppressing AKT phosphorylation and increasing CKIP- expression.

Conclusion:

Present review confirms the positive effect of statins on NHL by increasing CKIP-1 and reducing
cell proliferation, subsequently.
Antibacterial Effects of Derivatives of Porphyrin, Naphthalene diimide, Aminophenol and Benzodioxane on Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Neuropathogenic Escherichia coli K1
Authors: Siddiqui Ruqaiyyah , Anwar Ayaz , Ali Salwa , Khan Naveed Ahmed
Published: July 2019

Background:

Infectious diseases contribute to substantial mortality and morbidity
worldwide despite advances in therapeutic intervention highlighting the need to identify drugs with
antimicrobial properties.

Methods:

Here, we utilised several compounds from the following classes: porphyrin, naphthalene
diimide, aminophenol derivatives, and benzodioxane, and evaluated their antibacterial activities.
Bactericidal and bacteriostatic activity of these compounds were determined against methicillinresistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Escherichia coli K1 with various concentrations of
the drugs. Moreover, the ability of the bacteria to bind/associate to host cells was also ascertained
in the absence and presence of aforementioned compounds.

Results:

The results revealed that porphyrin derivative (AYTHPP) had potent effects against
MRSA, abolishing viability and blocking binding to the host cells. Importantly, novel AYTHPP
exhibited powerful effects against MRSA even though it was not photoactivated. In contrast, other
compounds, including naphthalene diimide, acetamol derivatives and benzodioxane, showed no
inhibitory effects.

Conclusion:

The mechanism of action of porphyrin is likely through the production of reactive
oxygen species causing oxidative stress, leading to apoptosis and/or necrosis via perturbations in
the plasma membrane. Future studies will determine their in vivo efficacy together will associated
molecular mode of action.
Updates on the Current Technologies for microRNA Profiling
Authors: Mathew Rebecca , Mattei Valentina , Al Hashmi Muna , Tomei Sara
Published: July 2019

MicroRNAs are RNA molecules of ~22 nt length that regulate gene expression posttranscriptionally.
The role of miRNAs has been reported in many cellular processes including apoptosis,
cell differentiation, development and proliferation. The dysregulated expression of miRNAs
has been proposed as a biomarker for the diagnosis, onset and prognosis of human diseases. The
utility of miRNA profiles to identify and discriminate patients from healthy individuals is highly dependent
on the sensitivity and specificity of the technologies used for their detection and the quantity
and quality of starting material. In this review, we present an update of the current technologies for
the extraction, QC assessment and detection of miRNAs with special focus to the most recent methods,
discussing their advantages as well as their shortcomings.

Experiments to obtain performance of cryptographic algorithms were done using OpenSSL
utility running in Ubuntu-64 bit on 8th generation, i3-8130U runs 2.20 GHz processor and 4 G.B
RAM. We enunciated, Data Encryption Standard was slower but ideally secure symmetric, RSA-
512 outnumbers the verifications per second and Message Digest-4 is fastest Symmetric.

Conclusion:

In this paper, a legacy security system has been reshaped to adapt security at runtime.
Further, the offline performance of cryptographic algorithms has been evaluated based on which
third party makes decisions. Following this, a trade-off policy between security and performance is
formulated such that the model can be optimized easily.
A Fully Convolutional Neural Network for Recognition of Diabetic Retinopathy in Fundus Images
Authors: Jena Manaswini , Mishra Smita P. , Mishra Debahuti
Published: July 2019

Background:

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the complexities of diabetics and a major
cause of vision loss worldwide which come into sight due to prolonged diabetes. For the automatic
detection of diabetic retinopathy through fundus images several technical approaches have been
proposed. The visual information processing by convolutional neural network makes itself more
suitable due to its spatial arrangement of units. Convolutional neural networks are at their peak of
development and best results can be gained by proper use of the technique. The local connectivity,
parameter sharing and pooling of hidden units are advantageous for various predictions.

Objective:

Objective of this paper is to design a model for classification of diabetic retinopathy.

Method:

A fully convolutional neural network model is developed to classify the diseased and healthy fundus images. Here, proposed neural network consists of six convolutional layers along with rectified linear unit activations and max pooling layers. The absence of fully connected layer reduces the computational complexity of the model and trains faster as compared to traditional convolutional neural network models.

Result and Conclusion:

The validation of the proposed model is accomplished by training it with a publicly available High-Resolution Fundus image database. The model is also compared with various existing state-of-the-art methods which show competitive result as compared to these models. A behavioural study of different parameters of the network model is represented. The intelligence of our model lies in its ability to re-tune weight to overcome outliers encountered in future. The proposed model works well with satisfactory performance.

Published: July 2019

Background:

Synthesis of acridinedione derivatives via one-pot multi-component approaches
using highly active and reusable Pd/AlO(OH) heterogenous catalyst was studied. This process
provided a convenient method to obtain various acridinediones with potential biological activities.
The reactions were performed in mild conditions such as low temperature and short reaction
time with desirable yields.

Methods:

Commercially available Pd/AlO(OH) nanoparticles characterized by XRD and SEM methods
were afforded for the synthesis of acridinedione derivatives with high yields. Crude products
were analyzed by GC and 1H NMR. The reactions were completed within 1h at 40°C by the assistance
of ultrasound system.

Results:

Optimization of reaction conditions is of critical case for successful synthesis. Solvent, temperature,
time and amount of catalyst were studied. At the end of the experiments, the synthesis of 1
mmol of acridinedione was optimized by using 25 mg of Pd/AlO(OH) NPs, 3 ml of DMF for 60 min
at 40°C in the ultrasound system. An experimental work to check the reusability of the catalyst was
also studied. Pd/Al(O)OH catalyst in the first run was higher than that of the reused catalyst in the
fifth run. ICP-OES analyses showed palladium leaching into the reaction medium was only 1.1%
which is negligible. Nanocatalyst employed a high activity and good reusability.

Conclusion:

A convenient and versatile method was developed for the synthesis of acridinediones in
a mild condition with absolute conversion and high yield using ultrasound system in the presence of
nanocatalyst.

Traditional Chinese Medicine in Connected Health – Medical and Regulatory Approach (Preprint)

BACKGROUND

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has specific diagnostic procedures such as pulse and tongue diagnostics. It uses herbs and medicines derived from animals and minerals, acupuncture and tai chi to treat or prevent health problems. The TCM is widely used in patients and healthy subjects for prevention. The TCM could be included into the connected health (CH) concept which also analyses health. A holistic approach to the patient in TCM could integrate to the data already existing from Western medicine in platforms for data analysis and those collected by different technological devices. This will also facilitate evidence-based TCM making the TCM more securely used and clear benefits of it could be better shown. Further, the TCM medicines used could be more researched and new medicines developed. Regulation, surveillance, traceability of the origin of the TCM medicines improves safety, quality, and efficacy. This paper examines and describes the possible implementation of CH concept in the TCM and feasibility of it on artemisinin as an example. This way the holistic approach of the TCM will be also compared with the Western medicine and possibly their synergistic effects for more efficient patient management recognized including prevention of different diseases by implementing them into the CH and into the everyday practice.

OBJECTIVE

The objective is to analyze possibilities for introducing the TCM concept into the CH with the purpose to add value to the CH concept regarding the holistic approach.

METHODS

Our literature search comprised a PubMed and Internet search of any scientific publications, secondary references and so-called grey literature, a search of government official websites and websites of TCM organizations to collect data in a systematic manner. Due to the different reliability of data sources, a classification was developed and implemented.

RESULTS

TCM is used as an additional method only in cases when the problem cannot be solved with the Western medicine. Practitioners are often not secure in application of the TCM methods and doubt their efficiency despite that it is older than the Western medicine and, in some cases, even more efficient. In the current period practitioners started using also alternative methods and holistic approaches to manage patients. These facts facilitate inclusion of TCM into the CH concept which also includes health analysis and would benefit from a holistic approach to the patient with the help of different technological devices.

CONCLUSIONS

Although we don't understand some parts and mechanisms of actions of TCM with CH we can improve knowledge by gathering information and this would not only preserve the ancient techniques but also develop newer methods. To allow that possibility regulatory framework for alternative medicine should be adapted.
