Authors: Guergolet Brandão Paula Marcella , Fernandes Geuciane Felipe Guerim
Published: March 2021

O presente artigo teve como objetivo investigar o papel da brincadeira como direito fundamental na educação infantil. A Educação Infantil deve ter a finalidade de garantir à criança acesso a aprendizagens de distintas linguagens, assim como o direito à brincadeira, à convivência e à interação com outras crianças. As motivações que encaminharam o interesse pelo assunto buscam analisar a brincadeira como atividade principal da infância e o papel da pré-escola na promoção do brincar. Neste sentido, delineou-se a problemática da pesquisa: Como a brincadeira pode contribuir no processo de humanização das crianças em idade pré-escolar? Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica do tipo de revisão sistemática, realizada a partir de trabalhos publicados na Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações no período de 2013 a 2018, em diálogo com Costa (2017); Couto (2013); Graciliano (2014); Leontiev (2010); Lima (2018); Marcolino (2013), Mello (2007); Pasqualini (2013); entre outros, que buscam compreender o desenvolvimento infantil a partir dos fundamentos propostos pela teoria histórico-cultural. A partir das teses da Teoria Histórico-Cultural, reafirmamos a fundamental importância da educação para o desenvolvimento infantil. Ao compreender que o desenvolvimento acontece por meio da aprendizagem percebe-se que a criança começa aprender a partir do momento que nasce. Em cada estágio do desenvolvimento há uma forma especial de interação da criança com o meio para apropriar-se da cultura e desenvolver-se. Portanto, este trabalho destaca o papel da brincadeira e suas possibilidades na infância.

Published: March 2021

This analysis will discuss how to handle vibrations in the Turbine Rotor. The measuring instrument used is Vibration Analysis test with Prov. 2140 type which measured amplitude, time and frequency domain of vibration signal. The results obtained in this study, firstly, the measurement vibration of rotor at PT PJB Gresik found the highest amplitude of vibration was 59,6 μm at 3000 rpm. In this condition, the rotor is in very good condition as per standard vibration in ISO 7919-2 stated 80 μm at 3000 rpm. However in the next measurement, there is an dramatically increase of amplitude in each vibration measurement. The top amplitude of vibration reached at 115 μm  at 3000 rpm and shown a symtom of damage on the rotor as a result of vibration. In solving the problem this time we use the method Root couse analysis (RCA). The results of this research found that there was a short turn to turn on the rotor windings and the closed slot liner holes that caused electric vibrations and needed to be repaired to eliminate vibration disturbances. After repairing the vibration, it decreased which initially 115 μm  to 33.5 μm at 3000 Rpm, it is still on the range of the permitted safe zone of ISO standard  7919−2.
The Effect of Varying Concentrations and Application Periods of Chondroitinase ABC on Tissue-Engineered Cartilage
Authors: Tong Eric , O'Connell Grace D. , Kelly Terri-Ann N. , Hung Clark T.
Published: March 2021

Osteoarthritis, a chronic malady characterized by joint pain and swelling, is caused by damage to articular cartilage and is perpetuated by low-grade inflammation.  Treatments for osteoarthritis do exist, but many treatments focus on coping with the disease rather than curing it.  Surgical options that replace damaged cartilage tissue with that of donor cartilage tissue or cartilage tissue from other parts of articular joints face complications especially when the tissue is not of the correct size or does not have native-like properties.

A more suitable treatment option for osteoarthritis is to develop an in vitro tissue-engineered cartilage construct that can be grown using the patient’s own cells and to surgically remove the patient’s damaged cartilage and replace it with the tissue-engineered cartilage. A challenge in developing such a treatment option is producing tissue-engineered cartilage with mechanical properties akin to those of native human articular cartilage. This challenge may be overcome by maximizing the production of type II collagen by the chondrocytes in vitro. One way to maximize collagen production is through the application of chondroitinase ABC, an enzyme which temporarily suppresses proteoglycans in the cartilage matrix to create more space for type II collagen to develop.

In this study, two two levels of cABC treatment were applied (“high” and “low”) to cartilage tissue constructs. The “low” cABC treated group received daily feeding of 0.075 U/mL from day 14 to 21 followed by a replacement of chondrogenic media without cABC.  The “high” cABC treated group received a single addition of 0.15 U/mL from day 14 to 16 followed by a replacement of chondrogenic media without cABC.  At the end of 42 days, the constructs were subjected to mechanical testing and biochemical analyses. These analyses showed that the high cABC treatment yielded more native-like mechanical properties when compared to the low cABC treatment and the control results.  Biochemical and histological analyses confirmed that the proteoglycan and collagen II content were higher in the low and high cABC treated groups when compared to the control. All analyses show that the most efficient application of chondroitinase ABC is through a two day duration treatment of a higher concentration (0.15 U/mL).
“Philosophy Needs To Find A Place For Imagination Also In The Analysis Of Action”: Faculty Interview with Professor Katja Vogt
Authors: Basaran Ayda
Published: March 2021

In her recent project, Imagination and Agency, Professor Vogt addresses the gap between the philosophical theory and empirical research. I was curious  about how this project aims to incorporate  philosophical questions into an interdisciplinary debate.

She explains that there is a significant body of empirical work on mental simulation and imagination as components  of agency, since philosophers have also long been interested in imagination. However, philosophers  tend to focus on what are  called “lofty domains”: thought experiments, science, and art. Vogt argues that philosophy needs to find a place for imagination also in the context of the analysis of action. She thinks that it’s a long-standing idea that, when you make a decision, you decide between options that you consider possible. This is why her project examines the modal scope, the study of ways in which propositions can be true or false, of agential thought, since decision making is concerned with what is and what is not possible. As an example, she cites Aristotle, , who argued that no one deliberates about whether to become a god, because it’s impossible to become a god.
“Moving Past Time Itself to See Changes Happen”: Faculty Interview with Dominic Walker
Authors: Sun Shannon
Published: March 2021

On the corner of Dominic Walker’s desk lies a neat stack of books. Juxtaposed against each other, two of the titles read, “Best of the Best” and “Unequal Childhoods.” These books, decorative elements on an otherwise barren desktop, were a humble display of the larger questions that occupied Walker’s academic research and personal life.

At age 26, Walker, a Ph.D. candidate in Sociology at Columbia University, is pursuing research on the interwoven systems of privilege that give rise to inequality. Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, Walker draws extensive inspiration from his upbringing in drastically different school systems. Growing up in a single-parent household, Walker first attended a public elementary school in Baltimore, earned a sponsorship to an all-boys Catholic middle school, and then left home to attend a prestigious, all-boys boarding high school in Virginia. With each move, Walker became more acutely aware of the reason for his departure.
The Expiration of Exigence
Authors: Schlechty Anastasia
Published: March 2021

Lloyd Bitzer’s 1968 article, “The Rhetorical Situation,” reframed scholarship on communication. Prior to this, rhetorical studies primarily looked to content and style of discourse in order to provide an analysis of meaning and value; however, scholars became frustrated with the limited access that this type of framework afforded. The 1960s marked a dramatic shift in dominant rhetorical thinking from modern thought toward a realm of new ideological approaches, including postmodern thought. Environment became a major focus of postmodern communication studies, claiming that the situation, more than the content itself, determines the message. Rhetorical frameworks continue to rely on a modern or postmodern consciousness, despite the emergence of yet another societal shift into an evolved postmodernism, a reaction to the biases inherent in this relativism. Specifically, the evolution of the postmodern mind into an apathetic consciousness leads to an expiration of exigency as Bitzer defined it 50 years ago. This paper argues that current scholarship lacks a complete awareness of these new assumptions and understandings, specifically relating to cultural apathy. This paper will recount the historical context that leads into this modern framework, illustrate the situation, and argue the potential solutions. Ultimately, this paper reveals that much exigency inhabits a devalued position in the now-evolved postmodern mind, and rhetorical theory must renovate its understanding on discourse accordingly through three steps: acknowledgment, updated definitions, and thoughtful discourse.

A large variety of pesticides have been used in the agriculturearea to raise the quality, extend and yield storage life of crops.However, the use of pesticides has been greater than before now a day dueto the growing rapid urbanization and population. The nonstop uses ofthese pesticides have resulted in pollution of the environment and alsocaused risk to human health. For the rapid detection of selective phenthoate pesticides, we developed a simple and highly sensitive spectrophotometric method based on azo-coupling reaction. After a simple pretreatment of phenthoatewith a diazotized solution,the resulting is rapidly undergoing azo-coupling reaction with 4-aminoazobenzene with adramatic color change only in few minutes.Finally, we successfully applied the concentration of phenthoate pesticides on vegetable, fruit, water, and soil samples. In this method, we found the absorption maxima of the orange dye compound was measuredat480nm.ThecolorsystemobeysBeer’slawinthefollowingworkingrangeof5µg to 40 µg in a final solution of 25 mL. The molar absorptivity, Sandell’s sensitivity, standard deviation, and the relative standard deviation was found to be 1.083X107L mol-1 cm-1, 0.99X10-5µg cm-2, ±0.003 and 0.89% respectively. This method is simple, sensitive, andfree from interferences of other pesticides and diverse ions. Other pesticides do not interfere with the proposed method. The method is highly reproducible and has been successfully applied for the determination of phenthoate insecticides in vegetables and fruit samples.

Jusuf Mehonjić in songs of Sanjak Bosniaks
Authors:   University in Belgrade, Faculty of Teacher Education Belgrade, Teaching department Novi Pazar, Nikšić Naka K.
Published: March 2021

The difficult position of Bosniaks Sandžak at the beginning of the 20th century has caused the uprising of individuals from the authorities and their association with comites (rebels). According to historical sources, the most famous Sandzak rebel was Jusuf Mehonjić, a native of Šahović (village Grančarevo), which Zaimović, in one of his work, called the Bosniak's Wilhelm Tell. He is mentioned in numerous epic poems called the so-called rebel opus that we find in the collections of oral literature of Bosniaks Sandžak, and from them the knowledge of his intellectual and physical potential, as well as the character of the protector of the disadvantaged and endangered Bosniaks. However, when it comes to ethnomusicological collections, we find that there is not a single song about this historical personality in them. The aim of this work is to preserve the musical tradition of Sandzak Bosniaks by finding and ethnomusicologic recording of lyrical poems about Jusuf Mehonjic, as well as pointing to the possibility of their nurturing through the education system in teaching in the Bosnian language in Serbia. The work and the work of Jusuf Mehonjić were examined in the paper by theoretical analysis of historical and literary sources. At the same time, the Finnish method recorded the only lyrical song about him, which we found by exploring the live musical tradition of the Sandzak Bosniaks. This is the song of Moj sokole pogledaj niz polje. This work should contribute to preserving the musical tradition of the Sandzak Bosniaks and getting to know Jusuf Mehonjic - a significant figure in the history of Sandzak.

An Overview of Future Scenarios: Where Are We Going With English?
Authors: Incelli Ersilia
Published: March 2021

This contribution aims to present an overview of future predictions about the evolution and status of the English language, in particular as a global lingua franca. The paper considers recent events such as Brexit and the emergence of new economic powers, and the fact that other widely spoken languages could compete with the hegemonic longevity of English as a lingua franca. Although English will certainly remain globally dominant for a large part of the 21st century, new geopolitical landscapes may influence the role of English both in Europe and in the world. This overview is not exhaustive in reporting all the variables in the debate, but it wishes to examine the main issues of concern in the future standing of English.
Gold Standard Agreement Model for Precipitation Forecast in Paraná Using Bootstrap
Authors: Oliveira Márcio Paulo de , Kestring Franciele Buss Frescki , Johann Jerry Adriani , Uribe-Opazo Miguel Angel , Guedes Luciana Pagliosa Carvalho
Published: March 2021

Demand for quality weather forecasts has increased in the last decades, leading national meteorological centers to develop new forecasting models. These models have parameterizations which can produce different predictions for the same location and agrometeorological variable. In the state of Paraná - Brazil, studies on rain forecasting are important for planning the soybean crop. The objective of this study was to compare, based on a gold-standard and using bootstrapping residuals, forecasts of total rainfall by virtual stations of the following centers: Canadian Meteorological Center (CMC), European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and Center for Weather Forecasting and Climate Studies (CPTEC). Gold-standard measurements were obtained from Meteorological System of Paraná (SIMEPAR) meteorological stations. The studied region was the state of Paraná, in October–March of the harvest years 2011/2012–2015/2016; forecast ranges were 24 and 240 hours. Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD), focused on data mining techniques, was the chosen methodology. In the data preprocessing stage, spatial and temporal stratification, cleansing and grouping were performed. For the comparisons, 24 h and 240 h weather forecasts were used, being grouped in five-day and ten-day periods, respectively, and coefficients of agreement with the gold-standard measure were calculated. The choice of forecast center should consider the geographic location of a certain pluviometric station, and the temporal range of the forecast, according to its measure of agreement with the gold standard measure. Spatial variations of forecasting centers were identified within the mesoregions, which suggests the employment of different forecasting centers in a certain mesoregion.
Impact of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and gender differences on academic and social difficulties among adolescents in Qatari Schools
Authors: Kamal Madeeha , Al-Shibli Schahla , Shahbal Saad , Yadav Santosh K.
Published: March 2021

Background: To evaluate the social and academic impact of adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and gender differences compared with their non-ADHD peers.

Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study using a standardized rating scale of teacher observations was conducted in the schools of Qatar from 7th to 12th grades. Teachers completed Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham (SNAP-IV) rating scale questionnaires for the ADHD core symptoms together with nine questions to evaluate the academic and social difficulties in all participants.

Results: A total of 1775 students (mean age: 15 ± 1.5 years; boys/girls: 717/1058) were included in this study. Based on the SNAP-IV rating scale, 150 students were showing core symptoms of ADHD and classified as having ADHD (8.5%; boys/girls; 93/57) and 1625 students as non-ADHD peers (91.5%; boys/girls; 624/1001). Prevalence of ADHD among adolescent students is 8.5%, and it varied significantly between genders with 13% of boys and 5.4% of girls affected by this disorder. Adolescents with ADHD had more academic and social difficulties than their non-ADHD peers, the boys more so than the girls. Boys with inattentive subtype of ADHD had more academic difficulties than girls, while girls had more social difficulties than boys.

Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that ADHD among adolescents is substantially associated with academic and social difficulties in the school environment. Gender differences among students with ADHD should be considered in the school and clinical environment.
The intraoperative use of internal iliac artery balloon catheters in cesarean deliveries for abnormal invasive placentation: A 3-year retrospective cohort review in Doha, Qatar.
Authors: Ahmed Husham A , Minisha Fathima , Babarinsa Isaac A , Omar Ahmed J , Bayo Arabo I , Omar Khalid K , Farrell Thomas A
Published: March 2021

Background: Abnormal invasive placentation leads to massive intraoperative hemorrhage and maternal morbidity. This study aimed to assess the impact of the preoperative use of internal iliac artery balloon occlusion (IIABO) catheters in patients who had a cesarean delivery (CD) for invasive placentation, commonly known as the placenta accreta spectrum.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study reviewed 67 pregnancies complicated by abnormal invasive placenta and confirmed intraoperatively. Preoperative planned placement of IIABO was performed in 33 women who underwent elective CD. Senior Obstetricians with the necessary expertise performed all CDs. The primary outcome measures were: intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion requirement, duration of surgery and the need for hemostatic measures. Univariate comparison between the groups and regression analysis of the primary outcome and controlling for confounders, were performed.

Results: No statistically significant difference was observed between the groups with intraoperative hemorrhage volume of above 3000 mL (unadjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.94 [no-IIABO group as the reference]; p = 0.895) and the median duration of surgery (median 107, interquartile range [IQR] 80–135 vs. median 96, IQR 75–121; p = 0.3508). More than 40% of the IIABO group required intraoperative transfusion of packed red blood cells above six units (14 [42.4%] vs. 10 [29.4%]; p = 0.357]), and 30% required additional postoperative transfusion (10 [30.3%] vs. 8 [23.5%]; p = 0.706]), although not statistically significant. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the difference remained nonsignificant after covariate adjustment (adjusted OR 0.585, p = 0.456). Cesarean hysterectomy was performed in fewer cases (seven [21.1%]) in the IIABO group than in the no-IIABO group (10 [29.4%]), although this difference was not significant (unadjusted OR 0.65, p = 0.442).

Conclusions: The placement of IIABO catheters is an invasive procedure, which consumes time and resources. Its value as a means of reducing intraoperative blood loss or preserving the uterus in patients with abnormal placental adherence appears questionable. In this cohort study, there was no statistical difference in blood loss, and the need for other steps to control hemorrhage between women with and without IIABO catheters.

Paralarvae (PL) are crucial to understanding the life cycle and population dynamics of cephalopods. Misidentification of species with similar morphology is a problem that hampers understanding of cephalopod composition and distribution. In this study, we used morphological and molecular
approaches to carry out a comprehensive identification of Octopoda PL that inhabit two main areas (Tamaulipas and Yucatán) in the southern Gulf of Mexico (GoM). A total of 189 PL were identified using morphological criteria. Of these, 52 PL were analyzed molecularly by sequencing the
mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. We identified four species and five morphotypes. The molecular tools corroborated three out of four species, while the molecular sequences of three out of four morphotypes indicated that they belong to three different species. All the
genetic sequences had high similarities (99.3%–100%) with previous records. One species and one morphotype could not be sequenced because of unsatisfactory fixation; one morphotype remained as such after the molecular analysis. An identification tree was constructed for the species identified
with the molecular approach. The species found off the Yucatán platform were Octopus vulgaris Type I, Octopus americanus, Macrotritopus defilippi, Amphioctopus burryi, A. cf. burryi, Octopus sp., and Callistoctopus furvu s. The
species identified off the Tamaulipas coast were Octopus insularis and M. defilippi. Paralarvae of O. vulgaris Type I and M. defilippi were the most abundant during 2016–2017. This study provides the first record of Octopoda PL in the southern GoM, including
morphological descriptions and molecular sequences of the analyzed taxa.
Hawking responde a las grandes preguntas. La filosofía de Stephen Hawking. Un comentario sencillo al libro “breves respuestas a las grandes preguntas”
Authors: Badía-Serra Eduardo
Published: March 2021

El autor analiza las respuestas que Stephen Hawking da a lo que él llama “grandes preguntas”, en su libro póstumo “breves respuestas a las grades preguntas”. El enfoque es de un grave talante filosófico, al margen de su expresión científica, en virtud del tono con que el gran científico británico atiende tales cuestiones. Es, puede decirse, un análisis del pensamiento filosófico de Hawking, que, por supuesto, este trata de ubicar dentro de las más cerradas aristas de las ciencias. Siempre, él creyó que la ciencia juega un papel definitivo en la resolución de los problemas del hombre y del universo, e incluso afirma que solo las ciencias pudrían dar tales respuestas. En el libro, las intenta.

Los instrumentos musicales y objetos sonoros tradicionales en El Salvador
Authors: Marroquín Salvador
Published: March 2021

A través del tiempo, nuestro pueblo ha sabido salir adelante ante las adversidades naturales, sociales y política, buscando su propia identidad. En el reino de Cuscatlán, también conocido como precolombino (¿-1524 d. C.), se utilizó lo que el medio le proveía. En ese período, también hizo uso del barro y de la metalurgia para elaborar instrumentos musicales que jugaron un papel importante en los rituales de la medicina, a la naturaleza y, por supuesto, en su contacto con los dioses del inframundo. En el Mestizaje cultural (1524- 1950) amalgamó lo útil conocido con todo lo que venía de las otras culturas (europeas, asiáticas y africanas), e insertó en los rituales católicos instrumentos que les servirían en sus propias celebraciones. En el capitalismo industrial se fortaleció su identidad con los materiales naturales y los productos de desecho y, por supuesto, con los instrumentos musicales que se incorporaron en lo cultural, social y en los rituales católicos.

Ahora ellos transmiten la tradición a una quinta generación de Historiantes en el referido cantón.
“Otros” mundos en la vitrina. Los catálogos de las exposiciones universales y la reproducción del discurso colonialista occidental del siglo XIX
Authors: Cubero Barrantes Guillermo
Published: March 2021

En el presente artículo se estudia la reproducción del discurso colonialista occidental en las exposiciones universales de finales del siglo XIX. Para esto, el autor recurre al estudio crítico del discurso de los Catálogos preparados para dichas exposiciones por los países participantes. En los cuales encuentra una serie de tendencias sintomáticas en el discurso occidental, tanto conceptuales como semánticas, que evidencian contextualmente el carácter etnocentrista del discurso dominante en occidente, así como la apropiación de un discurso eurocentrado por parte de Estados Unidos como potencia emergente.
Leitura literária e utilização de imagens em aula de Francês Língua Estrangeira (FLE)
Authors: Pinheiro-Mariz Josilene
Published: March 2021

A intrínseca relação língua e literatura é tema de constantes debates entre professores de línguas, de literaturas e também de especialistas em didática de línguas materna e estrangeiras. Neste trabalho, discute-se a leitura literária como um caminho especial para a descoberta e construção de sentidos e a linguagem pictórica como uma ferramenta importante nesse percurso. Esta proposta está embasada nas relações de transtextualidade discutidas por Genette (1982), para quem o paratexto está ligado também à ilustração. Analisa-se ainda até que ponto associar o texto literário à imagem pode ser considerado ‘banalizar a literatura’, ou um meio de sensibilização do leitor ao fenômeno literário.

The Impact of Augmented Reality on E-learning Systems in Saudi Arabia Universities
Authors: Alsayyar Asma , Almakki Riyad
Published: March 2021

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the impact of Augmented Reality on e-learning systems at colleges in Saudi Arabia. In this research, Augmented Reality could reenact real environment by computerized overlays that learners can interact with and without much of a stretch access. What is more, Augmented Reality helps consumers to explore alternative learning avenues around learning content. Setting that aside, there has not been sufficiently thorough research on the evaluation of Augmented Reality in the context of teaching. The primary objective of this research is to examine possible standard factors identified with the successful use of unparalleled scale. This prototype highlights the essential factors that affect the implementation of AR via the quantitative approach to Augmented Reality knowledge assortment and evaluation. The research finds the principal coefficients for the attainment of Augmented Reality: IT infrastructure, IT agility, interaction stability, self-learning ability, curriculum, student background, ease of use and Usefulness. The after-effects of this analysis includes useful debates to create up a perfect fate of Augmented Reality and help handle the enhancement of instruction and e-learning with competitive societies and frameworks in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as well as other countries.
Understanding Hourly Electricity Demand: Implications for Load, Welfare and Emissions
Authors: Karimu Amin , Krishnamurthy Chandra Kiran B. , Vesterberg Mattias
Published: March 2021

n this study, using hourly data from a representative sample of Swedish households on standard tariffs, we investigate the welfare and emission implications of moving to a mandatory dynamic pricing scheme. We allow demand during different hours of a day to affect utility differently, and account for the derived nature of electricity demand by explicitly accounting for the services (end-use demands) that drive hourly electricity demand. We use the flexible Exact Affine Stone Index (EASI) demand system, which accommodates both observed and unobserved heterogeneity in preferences, to understand changes in load consequent to hourly retail pricing. Our findings suggest that, following hourly retail pricing, changes in load patterns across hours are relatively small: total load changes by less than one percent. There are correspondingly small reductions in welfare and carbon emissions, of less than 0.2 percent and 0.47 percent, respectively. Overall, in the context of a decentralized, competitive retail electricity market-setting, our results suggest that the benefits to ensuring that the retail price of electricity reflects the hourly marginal cost is small, at least in the short run.

Post-Conviction Remedies in the Italian Criminal Justice System

The Italian Constitution expressly contemplates the possibility of a wrongful conviction, by stating that the law shall determine the conditions and forms regulating damages in case of judicial error. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that many provisions of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure (CCP) deal with the topic. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the post-conviction remedies in the Italian legal system by considering the current provisions of the CCP, on the one hand, and by exploring their practical implementation, on the other.
Chronic suppurative otitis media with cholesteatoma and chronic otitis media with granulation by scanning electron microscopy based on analysis of 140 patients
Authors: Wiatr Agnieszka , Job Katarzyna , Składzień Jacek , Wiatr Maciej
Published: March 2021

Objectives
Chronic purulent cholesteatoma of the middle ear, as well as to a lesser extent chronic granulomatous otitis media, lead to destruction of bone structures within the middle ear space. Above process is controlled by the OPG/RANKL/RANK system.
Material and methods
An analysis of 140 patients operated on due to chronic otitis media was performed. For the detailed analysis in the scanning electron microscope, 40 patients were selected who had been diagnosed with chronic cholesteatoma of the middle ear and chronic granulomatous otitis media. Finally the study in SEM included 20 patients.
Results
The regular structure of cholesteatoma depicted in the Scanning Electron Microscope concerned 5 patients with diagnosed. In the remaining 7 patients, the system was irregular and even chaotic. Lack of regularity can also be observed in the case of granulation tissue, which in the SEM image presented itself as an irregular tissue mass without detectable regularities.
Conclusions
1. Regular pattern of the cholesteatoma matrix cells observed in some patients with chronic cholesteatoma of the middle ear reduces the molecular permeability of inflammatory cytokines, concurrently limiting the destructive activity on bone structures.
2. The presence of inflammatory granulation tissue in the middle ear is accompanied by an influx of leukocytes: neutrophils and lymphocytes, which are the source of pro-inflammatory cytokines, the growth of which activates the processes leading to the damage of bone tissue and the development of inflammation.
3. No specimen of acquired cholesteatoma revealed presence of commensalism like organism on the surface of exfoliated human epithelium of Demodex species.
