Published: October 2024

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) represents a leading cause of blindness worldwide, early detection is critical to prevent vision loss. However, traditional screening methods, which rely on human experts, prove to be costly and time-consuming. The systematic review aims to assess the validity of artificial intelligence (AI) as a screening tool for detecting DR among diabetic patients. A systematic literature search was performed of the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, and Web of Science. The last date of our search was January 31, 2024. We included all observational studies, including cohort, case–control and cross-sectional studies and evaluated their quality using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool. We included diagnostic test accuracy studies evaluating the use of AI algorithms for DR screening in patients with diabetes. Studies were excluded if they exclusively assessed diagnostic accuracy for DR that did not use AI algorithms as a diagnostic tool and studies with incomplete or inaccessible data. Thirteen studies with sample sizes ranging from 69 to 1378 participants, reported good sensitivity of AI for detecting visually threatening DR (VTDR). The lowest sensitivity was 89.2%, and the highest was 100%. In terms of specificity, Any DR exhibited higher specificity compared to RDR and VTDR, ranging from 80.2% to 100%. The sensitivity and specificity of the Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based tools available for DR screening was considered acceptable, especially in detecting VTDR and Any DR, was regarded as good. These results implied the potential usefulness of these tools for DR screening in settings with limited resources. However, further high-quality comparative studies were deemed necessary to evaluate their effectiveness in real-world clinical settings.

Published: October 2024

Seven flavonoid compounds have the activity of inhibiting the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, thus providing an anti-inflammatory effect. Molecular docking analysis is needed to determine the binding interaction between flavonoid compounds and the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme. Objective: This study aims to determine the interaction of flavonoid compounds with the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme along with the modification of the flavonoid compound structure to increase the binding energy to the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme. Method: Flavonoid derivative compounds were geometry optimized using VegaZZ software, then target preparation, ligand preparation, docking method validation, and docking analysis were carried out to obtain the interaction between flavonoid compounds and the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme which is expressed as ∆G and interaction patterns, which include hydrogen bonds, amino acids and functional groups involved, using the program using PyRx-Python 0.8 - AutoDock Vina. Results: The interaction pattern of seven flavonoid derivative compounds with COX-2 enzyme showed hydrogen bonds with amino acids ARG 121, ILE 113, LEU 93, VAL 117. The interaction is similar to the interaction of protoporphrin ix containing co which is the original ligand of the target protein. There is no relationship between the inhibitory activity of flavonoid derivatives and the free energy value of binding (∆G). Modification of the new compound luteolin 7 glucosidase has a better amino acid interaction pattern, namely PRO 155, 154, ARG 44, TYR 131, LEU 153. Conclusions: The binding profile of flavonoid derivatives has the potential to be a candidate for oral cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor compounds as an anti-inflammatory.

Published: October 2024

The 2023 Indonesian Health Survey Report issued by the Ministry of Health revealed that there was an increase in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in the population aged over 15 years based on the results of blood sugar level measurements. In the 2018 Basic Health Research, it was recorded that the prevalence of diabetes in Indonesia reached 10.9%. Now, the prevalence has reached 11.7% in 2023. The Aceh Health Office recorded that sufferers of Diabetes Mellitus until early 2023 reached 154,889 cases. The purpose of this study is to find out the difference in blood sugar levels in people with diabetes mellitus who consume rice after cooking with  the rice cooker method and with the steaming method. This quantitative analytical research uses a cross-sectional study design. The population of the study was all people with diabetes mellitus at the Calang Health Center, Aceh Jaya Regency, totaling 50 people. Data collection was carried out from January 15 to March 15, 2024 using nonprobability sampling techniques. This study also took direct data by looking at the sugar content of the respondents by eating rice cooked by the rice cooker method and 1 month later by measuring the sugar content of the respondents consuming rice by cooking the rice by steaming. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate and multivariate statistical tests. The results of the study showed that factors related to blood sugar levels in DM patients were gender, age, education, occupation, income, physical activity, nutritional status, smoking behavior, and family history of diabetes. The factors most related to increased blood sugar levels in diabetes mellitus patients were steaming with OR=7.47, use of a rice cooker of 11.2 and family history of diabetes mellitus of 7.50. It is expected that respondents will control their blood sugar levels, so that DM sufferers and their families will cook rice using the steaming method, and control other risk factors that can cause high blood sugar levels.

Published: October 2024

The major goal of this study was to explore the effect of lily polysaccharides on immune function and intestinal flora in immunosuppressed mice. The immunosuppressed mouse model was established by treating mice with cyclophosphamide orally for 3 days and measuring post-treatment changes in immunological indexes. Also, the distribution of intestinal flora was determined by 16S DNA sequence analysis of cecal DNA. Compared with the cyclophosphamide group, there was a significant increase in the body weight and thymus index and a decrease in the liver index. The hepatocyte morphology, liver plate, and hepatic sinus arrangement of mice in the high- and low-concentration lily polysaccharide groups were corrected to varying degrees, and the contents of IgA and IgG in the serum of mice in the low-concentration lily polysaccharide group and the positive control group increased significantly. The contents of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 in the colon decreased, while the contents of interleukin-10 increased significantly. The levels of aspartate transaminase, alanine aminotransferase, and malondialdehyde in the liver decreased significantly, while that of superoxide dismutase increased significantly. Compared with the blank group, lily polysaccharide increases the intestinal flora of immunosuppressed mice, mainly by increasing the abundance of beneficial bacteria such as Muribaculaceae (previously known as S24-7), Bacteroides, and Butyrimionas and decreasing the harmful bacteria such as Prevotella, Dorea, and Adlercreutzia.

Roman-Samnite struggle for Apulia in 326-290 BC

Introduction. In the IV century BC in ancient Italy there were large-scale changes associated with the displacement of «centres of power», that was leading to major military clashes in various regions. One such episode was the struggle for Apulia between two new centres of power in the person of the Samnites and Romans. However, despite the historical significance of their confrontation, the researchers did not pay special attention to this topic, and within the framework of general works they overlooked the latest archaeological discoveries. Materials and Methods. The research uses an integrated approach aimed at studying the interests of all involved sides in the context of the hierarchy of centres of power in the Apennine Peninsula. To analyse various aspects of the Roman-Samnite struggle the author uses both longknown written and numismatic sources and new archaeological data, previously not widely involved for the study of militarydiplomatic relations in ancient Italy. Analysis. The long-term military confrontation in Apulia began as a result of Rome invasion into the exclusive sphere of Samnite influence in the Daunian lands after the conclusion of an alliance with the rebellious Arpi in 326 BC. During the most active period of the struggle in 323-317 BC the Romans were able to establish control over majority of the large settlements, such as Teanum and Canusium, as well as the strategically important Lucería. The Romans skilfully took advantage of the diplomatic and military miscalculations of the Samnites that, together with the creation of spheres of responsibility and colonies in northern Apulia allowed them, to firmly establish themselves in new territories. In subsequent years, all attempts by the Samnites to regain lost positions, primarily in Luceria, failed to achieve any significant success. While Rome continued to expand its strategic foothold in Apulia, until it suppressed the last strongholds of Samnite power in the region after the capture of Silvium in 306 BC and Venusia in 291 BC. Results. The Roman-Samnite struggle in its primary basis was a consequence of the changing conditions of international relations in ancient Italy in the IV century BC. Both sides sought to establish control over the local centres of power in Apulia, but Rome eventually won the confrontation that opened it the way for expansion in southern Italy and deprived the Samnites of the opportunity to influence affairs in the region.
War Communism to the "expansion" of the New Economic Policy: the Evolution of the Bolsheviks Domestic Policy towards the Rural Population of Kuban and the Black Sea region (1920–1926)

Published: October 2024

Introduction. The article studies a topical issue of forming a model of the relationship between the Bolsheviks and the Russian peasantry in the conditions of the economic and military-political crisis of the early 1920s. The issue under consideration acquires not only theoretical, but also pronounced practical significance. In the context of modern permanent reforms, the development of an optimal strategy for interaction between the state and society becomes an important task. The opportunity to turn to historical experience makes it possible to avoid repetition of confrontational scenarios, and on the other hand, to use proven experience in overcoming the crisis of relationships. The historiography of the issue is very extensive and has passed through four main stages in its development: the first – 1920s – 1930s, the second – 1930s the first half of the 1950s; the third – mid-1950s – 1980s and the fourth – the second half of the 1980s – to the present time, which is characterized by the dependence of researchers on the political situation prevailing in the country. Materials and Methods. The research is based on new documentary sources contained in federal and regional archives, which allow us to study the process of forming the internal policy of the Bolsheviks in the agrarian region. The research uses retrospective, problem-chronological methods, as well as comparative-historical and systemic-structural approaches. Analysis. Soviet Russia experienced a military and political crisis in the early 1920s. The logic and content of the internal policy of the RCP(b) was reduced to retaining power and suppressing the resistance of a part of the rural population that actively expressed their disagreement. Results. In the course of the study, we came to the following conclusions that during the NEP period, the evolution of the Bolsheviks domestic policy towards the rural population depended on the results of food, land policy and elections to the soviets, but at the same time, elements of war communism were present in all spheres of social and economic life.
On the history of the Dynamo Sports Complex in the regional center of the North Caucasus Region
Authors:   Pyatigorsk State University, Akopyan Z. V.
Published: October 2024

Introduction. There is a gap in the scientific literature in the description of the history of the city of Pyatigorsk, which was the center of the North Caucasus Region (NCR) in 1934 – May 1937. Based on the prospect of expanding the city towards the Lermontov junction area, the first secretary of the regional committee of the CPSU(b), who recently headed the state security agencies of the NCR, together with his former subordinates, facilitated the construction of a large sports complex “Dynamo”. However, information about this object, which did not exist after the end of the Great Patriotic War, is missing in the local history literature. Materials and methods. The study is based on the analysis of materials from the collections of the Pyatigorsk Museum of Local Lore, the State Archive of the Stavropol Krai, primarily regional periodicals of the period under review (newspapers “Severo-Kavkazskiy Bolshevik”, “Ordzhonikidzevskaya Pravda”, etc.). The study uses a systematic integrated approach, specific historical and comparative historical methods. Analysis. The analysis showed that Yefim Evdokimov, even after his appointment as the first secretary of the regional committee of the CPSU(b), continued to remain the unspoken head of the “North Caucasian team” of OGPU–NKVD workers who were in leadership positions in the Center, in different regions of the country, and naturally in the North Caucasus Region. The Dynamo Sports Complex named after E. G. Evdokimov was directly supervised by the regional security authorities, who ensured the construction of the facility in the shortest possible time. Results. According to the results of the study, it can be concluded that the transfer of the regional center to Voroshilovsk (Stavropol) did not allow the implementation of the construction project of the Belaya Romashka district, of which the Dynamo stadium could become an integral part. This area, as noted above, remained an urban suburb until the end of the 1950s. Due to the fact that the region and the city were led by Soviet and Party leaders (Evdokimov, Pivovarov, etc.), repressed in the second half of the 1930s, the Dynamo sports complex in Pyatigorsk ceased to exist, and the name of its founder was forgotten.
