Published: March 2024

Abstract. In the practice of clinical and experimental dentistry, numerous studies are devoted to the study of the dynamics of jaw bone tissue density in the age-related aspect and in various pathological conditions. At the same time, the determination of the mineral density of the hard tissues of the teeth is of practical use only in isolated cases.The aim of the study: ﬁ nding out the features of the ratio of indicators of hard tissue density of permanent teeth of diﬀ erent groups in the cervical region.Material and methods. In order to determine the density of the hard tissues of cervical region, radiographs of 320 intact permanent teeth (n=10 for each permanent dentition tooth), made on a Siemens dental radiovisiography device with Trophy Radiology software, were processed. The images were processed in the VixWin Pro program. The unit of measurement of tissue density is the conventional grayscale value (GSV). Tissue density in the cervical region was determined separately for enamel, cementum, and dentin, the diﬀ erence between the established indicators was presented as a percentage.Results of the study. A signiﬁ cant diﬀ erence in the density of enamel, dentin and cementum of permanent teeth was established. It was found that in the cervical region of incisors, dentin has the highest density, cement has the lowest density; in canines, dentin has the highest density, enamel has the lowest density; in premolars, dentin has the highest density, cementum has the lowest density; in molars, enamel has the highest density, cementum has the lowest density. The enamel and dentin density indicators are the lowest in incisors, then gradually increase in canines and premolars, and reach the maximum value in molars. Cement density indicators are also the lowest in incisors, slightly higher in premolars, still increase in canines and reach the maximum value in molars.Conclusions. When using radiological methods to research the condition of the hard tissues of the teeth, it is the radiological biomarkers that can become an eﬀ ective tool for studying the susceptibility or resistance of teeth to pathological lesions, in the cervical region in particular.
Cultural Identity and Intertextual Discourse: A Study of Paper Menagerie by Ken Liu
Authors: Rouabhia Ridha
Published: March 2024

This study investigates the intricate interplay between intertextuality and discourse in Ken Liu’s evocative short story Paper Menagerie, focusing on cultural identity negotiation and heritage language dynamics. Through qualitative literary analysis involving multiple close readings, thematic coding, comparative contextualization, and detailed interpretation, the interplay between Liu’s masterful integration of multifaceted cultural allusions and the discourse patterns surrounding generational language divides and struggles with self-concept is examined. The analysis reveals how Liu adeptly employs intertextuality through origins, Qingming festivities, and other symbols to create resonance and authenticity in exploring assimilationist tensions, while patterns in the text reinforce acculturative pressures and resulting linguistic barriers faced by immigrants. Ultimately, these layers synergize to reflect deeply on the preservation of identity tensions. As with textual analysis, subjective interpretive constraints persist, limiting generalizability. Further exploration through intertextual threads in Liu’s broader writings could enrich the understanding of his versatile identity while revealing philosophical evolution. The intricate symbiosis between intertextuality and discourse breathes life into this narrative, crystallizing universally relatable experiences through a culturally specific lens. While bittersweet, Liu’s artistry is a poignant reminder that interweaving past and present fosters empathy across paper menageries.
Evaluation of the Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah Liberalization: An Examination of the Notion of ‘Prioritizing Public Interest over Textual Evidence’
Authors: Sunaryo Agus , Fahmi Ahmad Hadidul
Published: March 2024

The effort to reconstruct Islamic law from liberal Muslim groups has a positive influence and acceptance for some people. However, the majority of Muslims have not been able to accept and prefer to follow the mindset and methodology of previous scholars. The concept of maqāṣid al-sharī’ah of liberal Muslim thinkers is methodologically considered not to have a strong basis because it dares to ignore the legal provisions in the specific daily, which are considered not in line with the purpose of the law and the benefit. Maqasid al-shari'ah should be built on efforts to integrate the texts of particular propositions into the texts of universal propositions (kully) so that the purpose of legal legislation can be understood. This article critically examines the concept of maqāṣid al-sharī’ah developed by liberal Muslim thinkers, especially in Indonesia. This study explicitly emphasizes the importance of Islamic law in realizing the benefits and being a solution to various problems of contemporary life. The benefit to be achieved is the ultimate and universal benefit, namely the benefit obtained through legal formulation efforts by making specific texts as a foothold to understand the purpose of the law. It is not an assumptive benefit (mawhūmah) obtained through legal reconstruction efforts based on the purpose of the law and the benefit but ignores the texts of particular arguments.
Would the Euro Area Benefit from Greater Labor Mobility?
Authors:   Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Cúrdia Vasco , Nechio Fernanda ,   Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco
Published: March 2024

We assess how within euro area labor mobility impacts economic dynamics in response to shocks. In the analysis we use an estimated two-region monetary union dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model that allows for a varying degree of labor mobility across regions. We find that, in contrast with traditional optimal currency area predictions, enhanced labor mobility can either mitigate or exacerbate the extent to which the two regions respond differently to shocks. The effects depend crucially on the nature of shocks and variable of interest. In some circumstances, even when it contributes to aligning the responses of the two regions, labor mobility may complicate monetary policy tradeoffs. Moreover, the presence and strength of financial frictions have important implications for the effects of labor mobility. If the periphery’s risk premium is more responsive to its indebtedness than our estimates, there are various shocks for which labor mobility may help stabilize the economy. Finally, the euro area’s economic performance following the Global Financial Crisis would not have been necessarily smoother with enhanced labor mobility.

Published: March 2024

Introdução: A automedicação é praticada por iniciativa própria e sem buscar orientação profissional para aliviar um desconforto de saúde. Devido à sobrecarga de tarefas universitárias, ao medo de infecção e ao compartilhamento excessivo de informações não acuradas nos estudos científicos, os estudantes universitários podem ter realizado a automedicação de medicamentos que passaram a ser conhecidos como Kit-COVID, por serem consumidos inapropriadamente para tratar a doença do coronavírus, durante o período pandêmico. Objetivo: Analisar o perfil epidemiológico da automedicação de medicamentos conhecidos como Kit-COVID por estudantes universitários, durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal analítico, realizado em 2022, através de um formulário enviado para faculdades. Calcularam-se as prevalências de automedicação e realizou-se uma análise de regressão logística binomial. Resultados: Dentre os 384 participantes, foi detectado prevalência de 14,32% da automedicação do Kit-COVID e observou-se que a maioria é do sexo feminino e de cursos não relacionados à saúde. Além disso, os corticoides, azitromicina, ivermectina e hidroxicloroquina foram utilizados por, 44,78%, 29,86%, 22,38% e 2,98% dos discentes, respectivamente. Detectou-se uma associação (p < 0,028) entre os discentes que consumiram o Kit-COVID e que possuem comorbidades, além de evidenciar que os alunos com essas doenças apresentaram uma razão de chances de 2,324 de utilizar o Kit-COVID. Conclusões: Nosso estudo evidenciou a prática de automedicação do conhecido Kit-COVID foi realizada pelos estudantes universitários e observou-se que os corticoides foram a classe de medicamentos mais utilizados.

A Covid-19, caracterizada como pandemia pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), tornou-se um desafio sanitário. Estudos de tendências sociais e ambientais podem contribuir para a gestão de surtos da Covid-19 pelas autoridades sanitárias e governamentais. Neste contexto, este estudo objetivou associar casos confirmados de Covid-19 com indicadores de saneamento e indicadores sociais de 152 municípios do Ceará. As associações foram determinadas por métodos estatísticos descritivos, histograma, diagrama de dispersão e coeficiente de correlação de Spearman, e multivariáveis, Análise de Componentes Principais - ACP. Os resultados mostraram que a mesorregião Metropolitana de Fortaleza foi classificada de intermediário a muito alto para o número de casos confirmados por Covid-19, aproximadamente 45,4%. Fortaleza, epicentro da doença, contabilizou quase 33% dos casos ocorridos na mesorregião. As mesorregiões do interior do estado: Noroeste Cearense, Norte Cearense, Sul Cearense, Centro-Sul Cearense, Jaguaribe e Sertões Cearenses apresentaram escala moderada ou baixa para a incidência do coronavírus. Pela ACP, as variáveis densidade demográfica, população com água e coleta de esgoto estiveram associadas aos confirmados com Covid-19. A análise de correlação de Spearman mostrou que existe relação positiva forte e significativa (p<0,05) entre os casos confirmados de Covid-19 com população com água e com coleta de esgoto e índice de desenvolvimento humano (IDH), assim como relação moderada entre casos confirmados de Covid-19 com produto interno bruto (PIB) per capita e IDH. Com base nos resultados conclui-se que o adensamento demográfico e a economia local estiveram mais associados à transmissão do SARS-CoV-2 do que os indicadores de saneamento básico.

In 1969 bereikte de studentenopstand de Leidse universiteit. Oproerige studenten botsten er met de traditionele corpsstudent. In het publieke beeld bleven het Leids Studentencorps en de Vereniging voor Vrouwelijke Studenten te Leiden bolwerken van behoud. Maar klopt dat beeld? Reünisten van Minerva besloten het vijftig jaar later te vragen aan de leden die aankwamen tussen 1967 en 1972. Het resultaat is een schat aan nieuwe inzichten. Ook het traditionele studentenleven blijkt in deze korte periode fundamenteel te zijn veranderd. In dit boekje is die verandering op de voet te volgen en worden de resultaten in de context van de tijd geplaatst.
Challenges faced by organizations in the process of green transition
Authors: Zenku Imer , Stefanovska Lidija
Published: March 2024

Climate played a huge role in every change in the historical course of planet Earth. Even today, it is a topic that inspires experts to think and undertake initiatives for sustainable development based on the principles of green transition. However, in conditions where 99% of European businesses are micro, small and medium, it is clear that the progression of European countries towards the goal of green transition will only be through strategic planning in which “green” goals are incorporated.

The transformation of micro, small and medium-sized businesses in the future period is imperative. It is becoming a strategic imperative for businessmen who want to advance in the global landscape, which is rapidly developing in a green direction. The transition to a green economy, despite the fact that it is costly, slow and will cause many “victims”, provides significant opportunities for businessmen to strengthen their competitiveness.

However, it should not be forgotten that parallel to setting green strategic goals, every organization should provide strong internal capacities for the implementation of large-scale changes resulting from green transitions. The transformation should be in the spirit of smart transition, which will enable a balance between what the company wants to achieve and the skills possessed by human resources.

This study aims to analyze the factors that can affect the effectiveness of the implementation of economic recovery policies for SMEs in Depok City Government. This study adopts a number of important variables from previous public policy models, both top-down and bottom-up models, namely the ability of implementing groups, SME community support, and incentives as factors that affect the effectiveness of policy implementation. However, unlike previous studies in Indonesia, this study considers the endogeneity problem of these variables by adding four strictly exogenous variables, namely policy objectives, organizational resources, work standards and involvement of SME associations. The estimation results using the 2SLS approach show that the first policy targets, organizational resources, work standards, and incentives have a positive impact on the ability of the implementing agency. Second, organizational resources have a positive impact on organization's remunerative ability to provide incentives. Third, the involvement of SME associations has a positive impact on the support of the SME community in implementing policies. Fourth, the ability of implementing groups, organizational resources, work standards, and support from the SME community have a positive effect on the effectiveness of the implementation of SME economic recovery policies. One of the factors that has the greatest influence on policy effectiveness is the support of the targeted group. This has implications that, the MSME economic recovery model in Depok City needs to be based on three main principles emphasizing a bottom-up approach: (i) community oriented, (ii) community based (iii) managed by the community.

Published: March 2024

Produce such as fruits and vegetables have the production potential on an industrial scale with a low price. Most residents in Sukawarna work as farmers of fruits, horticultural crops and vegetables. Farmers sell raw fruit and vegetable products without diversification. To compete with other economic actors, the government, community, and universities must support the development of high-quality commodity products. However, the community still faces some challenges, particularly their skills or expertise, but in this era, the main issues are knowledge when facing change (transformation) and a lack of creativity in managing superior product commodities to increase sales. The aim of this study is to  help economic business actors in Sukawarna develop competitive knowledge and skills by referring to the partners' situation and issues. Community empowerment program facilitators were involved to conduct a participatory action research. It was found that there were several partner problem solutions. The first is the training of the economic actors in Sukawarna on how to manage raw commodity products into processed products with added value. Next is marketing assistance to help partners process vegetables from Sukawarna’s main commodity through accurate marketing strategy in communicating the processed product. The last solution is the use of attractive packaging designs and product labels for processed main commodities in Sukawarna to attract potential consumers. The study results recommend the following: an educational program for the transformation of superior commodities into ready-to-use processed products, assistance with marketing strategies, and designing packaging  and product labels to market the processed commodities.

Published: March 2024

Quaternary sediments in the Binh Tri Thien coastal zone are diverse in both material composition and development history. From land to sea, there are 4 structural regions: i) marginal plain region; ii) Coastal lagoon region; iii) Coastal sand dunes region; and iv) Monocline coastal subsidence region. In the vertical direction, all four regions have five sedimentary cycles as follows: a) Early Pleistocene (Q11); b) Early middle Pleistocene (Q12a); c) Late middle Pleistocene (Q12b); d) Early late Pleistocene (Q13a); e) Late late Pleistocene (Q13b-Q2). Four structural zones are characterized by different lithofacies complexes: 1) In the lowstand systems tract (LST) at the beginning of each cycle in all 4 structural zones, the SmaLST facies complex is present; 2) In the transgressive systems tract (TST), there are the following lithofacies complexes: a) region I: MsbTST; b) region II: MlgTST; c) region III: SmTST; d) region IV: Msam,mTST; 3) In the highstand systems tract (HST) there are the following facies complexes: a) Region I: (MsabHST); b) Region II: MslgHST; c) Region III: SmvHST; d) Region IV: SmmHST. The difference in sedimentary facies in the transgressive and highstand systems tract depends on the differentiation of four geological structure regions.
The evolution of the latinization of the Uniate Church and its causes
Authors: Qu Ziang , Gao Siqi
Published: March 2024

The object of the study is the Uniate church, founded by the Brest Union in 1596. Then the Orthodox bishops of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth decided to unite with the Pope, provided that Eastern traditions were preserved. However, after the Brest Union, the practice of the Latin Church quickly began to blur the Eastern traditions of the Uniate Church, and the phenomenon of latinization appeared. The subject of the study is the processes and causes of latinization and Delatinization of the Uniate Church. The founding and development of the Uniate Church had strong political factors, since the article also considered its latinization from both religious and political aspects. The author pays special attention to the motives of the delatinization of the Uniate Church over the past 100 years, associated with the spread of the Catholic faith among Orthodox peoples. At the methodological level, the author combines the historical and political background to analyze the materials related to the research topic. The main conclusion of the study is that due to the contradiction between Roman Catholic teaching and Eastern traditions, the union with Rome is doomed to lead to the latinizaition of the Uniate Church. In addition, the latinization of the Uniate Church has a strong political influence. The author's special research contribution to the topic is that he noticed a contradiction in the Uniate Church. Russian Uniate Church is a tool used by the West to spread Catholicism in the Russian land and separate the people from the Russian Orthodox tradition. Latinization lead to the fact that the Uniate church lose its appeal to Orthodox people and affected its spread. However, without latinization, the Uniate Church would not be able to separate its believers from Orthodoxy and the Russian tradition, and would not be able to perform its political functions.

The Concept of ‘Abuse of Process’ and the ITLOS Climate Change Advisory Opinion Proceeding
Authors:   Korea International Law Review, Cho Hoon
Published: March 2024

In the actual judicial proceedings including the advisory opinion process, we may frequently face criticisms and concerns about the ‘abuse of process’ raised on certain cases. The pending advisory opinion proceeding before the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (‘ITLOS’) regarding climate change is the same. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (‘UNCLOS’) does not explicitly stipulate the advisory jurisdiction of the ITLOS over other than sea-bed matters. Instead, Article 138 of the Rules of the ITLOS stipulates that the tribunal can give an advisory opinion on a legal question if an international agreement related to the purposes of UNCLOS specifically provides for the request for an advisory opinion to the tribunal. In this respect, some authors have raised that making an agreement and establishing a body for the purpose of asking for an advisory opinion of the ITLOS pursuant to Article 138 of the Rules of the Tribunal may constitute an abuse of process. While it is quite common to observe claims and criticisms about such abuse, especially in cases where politically sensitive questions are at issue, the concept of the abuse of process itself has rarely been scrutinised in detail. Thus, the purpose of this article is to explore the concept of the abuse of process both theoretically and practically. Hence, this article first explores how to understand this concept by suggesting essential constituents. On the basis of such findings, next, this article examines the applicability of this concept to the pending climate change advisory proceeding and inspects some underlying uncertainties and difficulties. Then, lastly, this article assesses why such concerns have been raised over the current proceeding, and what role that the ITLOS should take in facing those controversial procedural questions.

Objectives:

Interest in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prophylaxis in the context of multiple sexual and reproductive health risks women face suggests a place for multipurpose prevention techniques (MPTs), which act by combining contraception and pre-exposure prophylaxis against HIV into one unified delivery method. At present, condoms are a readily available form of MPTs. The study aims to determine the sexual characteristics of women in Nigeria and assess factors associated with MPT acceptance in the identified population.

Materials and Methods:

An online cross-sectional survey was conducted using the data collection tool Google Forms®. The survey was distributed to the prospective respondents using the snowballing technique through an instant messaging application to ensure proper circulation among the geopolitical zones in Nigeria. Interest in MPT’s was evaluated using descriptive analysis. Specifically, personal and product attributes were evaluated descriptively (frequency and response rating) and with inferential statistics (logistic regression and model validation).

Results:

More than one-half (57%) of the participants were sexually active in the past three months. Most of the subjects reported at least one HIV risk behavior such as engaging in sexual intercourse with a male partner without a condom (50%). Factors associated with acceptance of MPTs included perceived safety, long-lasting action, and effectiveness of the formulation. Formulation types preferred by respondents include daily pills (21%), vaginal gels (12%), and inserts (8%). Personal characteristics supporting MPT use include age (30–39) and (40–49) years, married, formally educated, being a housewife, and having not had sexual intercourse with an HIV-positive male partner and having had an unintended pregnancy.

Conclusion:

Most of the respondents were interested in MPTs as a daily pill. Safety, long-lasting activity, and effectiveness are the top three criteria predicting acceptance. A variety of MPTs are required to be developed to suit the varying needs of different populations. The MPT preferences must be considered during product development to promote future acceptance among women in Nigeria.

A conjunctival foreign-body (FB) granuloma may result following trauma with synthetic and non-synthetic materials including organic and non-organic objects. Children usually manifest with FB granulomas that develop due to inoculation of FBs from soft toys, blankets or woollen clothes. Encapsu- lation of these FBs following a granulomatous inflammatory response results in a nodular swelling in the conjunctiva. Reports of a wooden FB granuloma in the conjunctiva in children are anecdotal. A 5-year-old boy suffered an un- witnessed direct ocular trauma to his left eye (OS) with a wooden arrow while playing. He developed redness and nodular swelling at the inferotemporal aspect of the OS without any visual complaints. The diagnosis of a wooden FB granuloma is a challenge to ophthalmologists and may go undetected in children who neglect their symptoms. It characteristically presents as a unilateral conjunctival nodule. Surgical excision is the definitive management. However, spontaneous extrusion of the FB might be observed due to protective blinking and tearing mechanisms in the eye.

Medical journals started appearing formally in Europe in the 17th century and in North America in the 18th century. In Australia, the first issue of Australian Medical Journal (AMJ) was issued in Sydney, under the stewardship of a New South Wales (NSW) senior surgeon William Brooks working in Newcastle (NSW) in August 1846. This article refers to that issue of AMJ exploring its contents and context. In terms of original articles, only one on the surgical procedures carried out on two patients suffering strangulated hernias in the Parramatta-Public Hospital by Surgeon Thomas Robertson occurs. The other inclusions are précis from contemporary British medical journals. The AMJ appeared only for a year; why it ceased publication in 1847 is not clear. It was resurrected by the Medical Society of Victoria, Melbourne in 1856, issuing 40 annual volumes uninterruptedly until 1895. With the incorporation of other regional Australian medical journals, AMJ was re-named as the Medical Journal of Australia (MJA) in 1914. As MJA, it continues to perform to-date.

Background

Assessing the level of knowledge of anatomy of undergraduate students four years after their primary anatomy training will give a better indication as to which system of teaching is more effective. We aimed to ascertain which method was more effective at establishing a core of anatomy knowledge that could be recalled after a considerable amount of time.

Methods

We tested two groups of medical students in their final year on the key concepts of gross anatomy using a question paper that included true–false type questions and identification of anatomical line diagrams. These two batches of students followed a dissection-based curriculum and a newly introduced prosections-based curriculum at the beginning of their medical education. The prosections- based curriculum brought with it a reduction in the in-class teaching and learning activities when compared to the old curriculum. This would in turn reflect how much anatomy knowledge one would possess when they start to practise medicine as a newly qualified doctor and also embark on a postgraduate training programme. The two groups were subjected without prior warning to a question paper that had six questions, each with five true–false statements and four questions on identification and labelling of anatomical line diagrams.

Results

There was no statistically significant difference in the marks obtained for the true–false type questions between the two groups (p=0.08), but the prosections group obtained higher marks for the diagram identification questions (p=0.02).

Conclusion

A prosection-based curriculum when compared to a dissection-based curriculum was equally effective at establishing a core of gross anatomy knowledge.
Pressure Injuries in Different Disciplines: A Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Özkan Esra
Published: March 2024

Introduction: Despite developing health technologies and many preventive approaches, pressure injuries are still among the current health problems for health professionals and health costs. Aim: This study was conducted to examine the features of the studies on pressure injuries in different disciplines like authors, journals, and the number of citations and provide a perspective for further studies.Material and Methods: The study used the bibliometric analysis method, MS Excel program, and Vosviwer. The data were searched using the keywords “pressure ulcer”, “pressure wound”, pressure injuries”, bedsore”, “pressure sores”, “decubitus ulcer”, and “decubitus” Results: A total of 4224 research articles, book chapters, and review articles were analyzed for the study criteria. The results showed that the first article was published in 1949, the highest number of studies was done in 2021, 87.2% of the studies were nursing, and 13.3% were published in the Journal of Wound Care. 87.9% of the studies were published in English, and 26.7% were published in the United States of America. It was determined that there was a positive relationship between the number of publications and the gross national product of the countries (r=0.774, p<0.009). Conclusion and sugestions: It was concluded that despite the increasing number of studies on pressure injury over the years, there was a decrease in author collaboration, the studies were primarily conducted in nursing and published in relevant journals, and there was a lack of a multidisciplinary approach. With this research, new researchers will be asked research to be conducted on the subject when researching pressure injury, it provides researchers with which keywords they can use, which authors’ articles they can review, and collaborative research by the authors. Based on the research results, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration and interdisciplinary cooperation is recommended for pressure injury prevention.

Исследовано влияние производного фуллерена с пятью присоединенными остатками 3-бензотиенилаланина и одним атомом водорода (Ф1) на функционирование фибробластов легких эмбриона человека (ФЛЭЧ). Показали, что Ф1 в течение 24 часов проникает в цитоплазму большинства клеток в популяции. Для исследования воздействия Ф1 на ФЛЭЧ выбраны две концентрации: 18,3 нг/мл, входящая в диапазон нетоксичных концентраций, и концентрация, близкая к повреждающей – 28 µг/мл, и три времени инкубации клеток с соединениями – 1, 3 и 24 часа. Обнаружили, что через 24 часа в присутствии низких концентраций Ф1 снижается уровень активных форм кислорода (АФК) в клетках, что обусловлено повышением экспрессии гена NRF2 и увеличением его функциональной активности. Соединение Ф1 в концентрации, близкой к токсичной, вызывает в культивируемых ФЛЭЧ повышение уровня экспрессии гена и белка NOX4, что приводит к синтезу АФК в клетках, к окислительным модификациям и двунитевым разрывам ДНК ядер клеток через 24 часа инкубации. Не обнаружено влияния Ф1 на уровень экспрессии гена и белка BRCA1 что, вероятно, способствует образованию в клетках и поддержанию на высоком уровне двунитевых разрывов ДНК через 24 часа инкубации. Повышение экспрессии антиапоптотических генов в ФЛЭЧ через 24 часа культивирования с Ф1 может способствовать выживанию клеток с поврежденной ДНК.

We investigated the effort of fullerene derivative with five attached residues of 3-benzothienylalanine and one hydrogen atom (F1) on the functioning of the human embryonic lung fibroblasts (HELF). It was shown that F1 penetrates the cytoplasm of most cells in the population within 24 hours. To study the effect of F1 on HELF, two concentrations were selected: 18.3 ng/ml, which is in the range of non–toxic concentrations and a concentration close to damaging – 28 µg/ml and three incubation times of cells with compounds – 1, 3 and 24 hours. It was found that after 24 hours in the presence of low concentrations of F1, the level of ROS in cells decreases, which is due to an increase in the expression of the NRF2 gene and an increase in its functional activity. The F1 compound in a concentration close to toxic causes an increase in the expression level of the NOX4 gene and protein in cultured HELF, which leads to the synthesis of ROS in cells and oxidative modifications, and double-stranded DNA breaks of cell nuclei after 24 hours of incubations. There was no effect of F1 on the expression level of the BRCA1 gene and protein, which probably contributes to the formation of double-stranded DNA breaks in cells and maintenance at a high level after 24 hours of incubation. An increase in the expression of anti-apoptotic genes in HELF after 24 hours of cultivation with F1 may contribute to the survival of cells with damaged DNA.
