Management of Autoimmune Liver Diseases after Liver Transplantation
Authors: Barba Bernal Romelia , Medina-Morales Esli , Goyes Daniela , Patwardhan Vilas , Bonder Alan
Published: May 2021

Autoimmune liver diseases are characterized by immune-mediated inflammation and eventual destruction of the hepatocytes and the biliary epithelial cells. They can progress to irreversible liver damage requiring liver transplantation. The post-liver transplant goals of treatment include improving the recipient’s survival, preventing liver graft-failure, and decreasing the recurrence of the disease. The keystone in post-liver transplant management for autoimmune liver diseases relies on identifying which would be the most appropriate immunosuppressive maintenance therapy. The combination of a steroid and a calcineurin inhibitor is the current immunosuppressive regimen of choice for autoimmune hepatitis. A gradual withdrawal of glucocorticoids is also recommended. On the other hand, ursodeoxycholic acid should be initiated soon after liver transplant to prevent recurrence and improve graft and patient survival in primary biliary cholangitis recipients. Unlike the previously mentioned autoimmune diseases, there are not immunosuppressive or disease-modifying agents available for patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis. However, colectomy and annual colonoscopy are key components during the post-liver transplant period.
Origin of Low- and High-Energy Monopole Collectivity in 132Sn
Authors: Arsenyev Nikolay N. , Severyukhin Alexey P.
Published: May 2021

Beginning with the Skyrme interaction, we study the properties of the isoscalar giant monopole resonances (ISGMR) of 132Sn. Using the finite-rank separable approximation for the particle-hole interaction, the coupling between one- and two-phonon terms in the wave functions of excited states is taken into account in very large configurational spaces. The inclusion of the phonon–phonon coupling (PPC) results in the formation of a low-energy 0+ state. The PPC inclusion leads to a fragmentation of the ISGMR strength to lower energy states and also to a higher energy tail. Using the same set of parameters, we describe the available experimental data for the ISGMR characteristics of 118,120,122,124Sn and give a prediction for 126,128,130,132Sn.

The mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori (L.), is a model organism of lepidopteran insects with high economic importance. The viral diseases of the silkworm caused by Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) and Bombyx mori bidensovirus (BmBDV) inflict huge economic losses and significantly impact the sericulture industry of India and other countries. To understand the distribution of Indian isolates of the BmNPV and to investigate their genetic composition, an in-depth population structure analysis was conducted using comprehensive and newly developed genomic analysis methods. The seven new Indian BmNPV isolates from Anantapur, Dehradun, Ghumarwin, Jammu, Kashmir, Mysore and Salem grouped in the BmNPV clade, and are most closely related to Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus and Rachiplusia ou multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus on the basis of gene sequencing and phylogenetic analyses of the partial polh, lef-8 and lef-9 gene fragments. The whole genome sequencing of three Indian BmNPV isolates from Mysore (-My), Jammu (-Ja) and Dehradun (-De) was conducted, and intra-isolate genetic variability was analyzed on the basis of variable SNP positions and the frequencies of alternative nucleotides. The results revealed that the BmNPV-De and BmNPV-Ja isolates are highly similar in their genotypic composition, whereas the population structure of BmNPV-My appeared rather pure and homogenous, with almost no or few genetic variations. The BmNPV-De and BmNPV-Ja samples further contained a significant amount of BmBDV belonging to the Bidnaviridae family. We elucidated the genotype composition within Indian BmNPV and BmBDV isolates, and the results presented have broad implications for our understanding of the genetic diversity and evolution of BmNPV and co-occurring BmBDV isolates.

Published: May 2021

Patients after LT due to combined HBV/HDV infection are considered to be high-risk patients for recurrence of hepatitis B and D. To date, life-long prophylaxis with hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) and replication control with nucleos(t)ide analogs (NA) remains standard. We examined the course of 36 patients that underwent liver transplantation from 1989 to 2020 for combined HBV/HDV-associated end-stage liver disease in this retrospective study. Seventeen patients eventually discontinued HBIG therapy for various reasons. Their graft function, histopathological findings from routine liver biopsies and overall survival were compared with those that received an unaltered NA-based standard regimen combined with HBIG. The median follow-up was 204 and 227 months, respectively. The recurrence of HBV was 25% and did not differ between the groups of standard reinfection prophylaxis NA/HBIG (21.1%) and HBIG discontinuation (29.4%); (p = 0.56). No significant differences were found regarding the clinical course or histopathological aspects of liver tissue damage (inflammation, fibrosis, steatosis) between these two groups. Overall, and adjusted survival did not differ between the groups. Discontinuation of HBIG in stable patients after LT for combined HBV/HDV did not lead to impaired overall survival or higher recurrence rate of HBV/HDV infection in this long-term follow-up. Therefore, the recommendation of the duration of HBG administration must be questioned. The earliest time of discontinuation remains unclear.

Investigation of the effectiveness of antimicrobial photocatalyst-coated hand-contact surfaces in passenger transport vehicles under everyday conditions
Authors: Eicker Rudolf , Salomon Wilhelm
Published: May 2021

The coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic affects all aspects of public life. Measures for infection prevention are implemented in various sectors, in businesses, as well as in private life. Public transport is important and indispensable in daily life for both children and adults.

Public transport companies have to take necessary actions to protect passengers and drivers from infections. Skin contact is one of the ways of transmitting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

This research study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a photocatalytic, antimicrobial active surface coating under everyday – not hospital – conditions. To date, such coatings have been used in hospitals as an additional measure to regular cleaning and disinfection in order to reduce the risk of infection.

We collected samples for bacterial cultures in three classes of public transport vehicles: bus, underground, and tram. Seven different hand-contact surfaces in one vehicle of each class were coated, while the other vehicles remained uncoated. All vehicles were in regular use. The number of colony-forming bacterial units per cm2 (CFUs/cm2) was measured. A representative number of isolates were differentiated at the pathogen level. Data collected were entered into GraphPad Prism (GraphPad Software, San Diego, USA) and analyzed.

Overall, no statistically significant reduction in the number of colony-forming units (CFUs) was observed for coated versus uncoated surfaces. Samples with a very high colony count (>250 CFU/25 cm2) were equally distributed in both groups, coated and uncoated vehicles. Within one vehicle type, there was no significant difference between the coated and the uncoated vehicle. No relevant infection-preventive effect could be proven.

Protocol for Local On-Site Dialysate Production for Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Moses Andrew A. , Stevens Jacob S. , Fine Derek , Carrera Robert , Li Alina , Parikh Chirag R. , Mohan Sumit
Published: May 2021

Key Points

Because dialysate production in a hospital is not commonly performed, the technique has not been generalized to commonly available materials.

On-site dialysate production may be necessary when demand is high, as it was during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.

This technique can be easily and widely applied to most hospitals using commonly available materials.

AKI frequently occurs in patients with COVID-19, and kidney injury severe enough to require RRT is a common complication among patients who are critically ill. During the surge of the pandemic, there was a high demand for dialysate for continuous RRT, and this increase in demand, coupled with vulnerabilities in the supply chain, necessitated alternative approaches, including internal production of dialysate. Using a standard hemodialysis machine and off-the-shelf supplies, as per Food and Drug Administration guidelines, we developed a method for on-site dialysate production that is adaptable and can be used to fill multiple bags at once. The use of a central reverse osmosis unit, dedicated hemodialysis machine, sterile bags with separate ports for fill and use, and frequent testing will ensure stability, sterility, and—therefore—safety of the produced dialysate. The dialysate made in house was tested and it showed both stability and sterility for at least 30 hours. This detailed description of our process for generating dialysate can serve as a guide for other programs experiencing similar vulnerabilities in the demand versus supply of dialysate.

The BS or Bharat Stage are emission standards bought in existence by the Government of India to keep a check on the emission of air pollutants from vehicles. These standards and the given norms were passed and instituted in 2000. With upgraded technology being implemented in the generation of new fuels and upgraded Automobile technology, they limit and control the emission levels and content of pollutants such as Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Oxide, other hydrocarbons, also many particulate matters (PM) alongside sulphur oxides from motor vehicles which are using internal combustion engine (IC). When the norms or stage gets upgraded, the control levels on the emissions become much stricter. Thus BS-VI is a two-level upgraded version of BS-IV. These norms are inspired by norms instituted in Europe namely Euro 4 and Euro 6. Along with the environmental aspect of the BS-VI norms, there are bigger concerns in the economic influences it. This paper will put light on the basic study of the BS-VI norm and the implementation of it, concluding with what was its effect on the Indian Industries and Indian economy.

Authors: Beşikçi Tolga , Yerlisu Lapa Tennur , Güzel Pınar
Published: May 2021

The main purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between life satisfaction and leisure satisfaction of individuals participating leisureactivities within outdoor recreation.A total of 500 individuals, (females n = 298 and males n = 202) aged 12 to 65 participated in this study, who were interested in outdoor recreation in parks in London, England. The research sample was randomly selected. These participants were individuals that participated outdoor recreation and leisure activities as a volunteer.Within the scope of the survey study, two different scales were used. At the same time,demographic variables of participants were questioned. The questionnaire form consisted of the following two scales; “The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS)” developed by Diener et al. (1985) adapted to Turkish by Köker and Yetim (1991), and “Leisure Satisfaction Scale (LSS)” developed by Beard &Ragheb (1980) adapted to Turkish by Gökçe (2008).For an initial statistical representation of the data, descriptive and frequency analyses were performed. Pearson correlation coefficients were utilized to determine and interpret the existence and degree of correlations between scale mean scores. According to the findings of the study, a significantly moderate level of correlation was observed between participants’ level of life satisfaction and leisure satisfaction (r: ,36; p< .05).The results of the study show that individuals participating in outdoor recreation (parks) have a high level of life satisfaction and quality of life which in return provides positive psychological and physiological gains. In addition, individuals participating in outdoor recreation with a high level of leisure satisfaction are also expected to have a high level of life satisfaction. Thus, local authorities are suggested to pay special attention and focus on recreational activities and management of recreational areas such as parks.

The Importance of technical analysis for improving performance in athletics in long distance running
Authors: Dobre Andreea Georgiana , Mereuță Claudiu , Grigore Florin Eduard
Published: May 2021

It is well known that the level at which the performances in the sports competitions have come lately is also due to the improvement of the specific techniques by: studying the most intimate / hidden aspects of the running technique that provide insight into the level of influence of the muscle chains involved in each phase of the movement; knowledge of the biomechanical details that can improve the technique of the general run and the departures from the start. It is assumed that participation in high-performance competitions is possible by restructuring the training efforts during the annual training cycle, using increased proportionate efforts in the mixed and anaerobic area as well as the approach as a separate indicator of the compensatory effort, and in this restructuring an essential role could be played by the technical aspect of long runs. When we discuss the technique of athletics, we must consider two aspects which, depending on how well they are improved, influence the final result. This is the sample technique and the treadmill technique.
The Impact of strengthening exercises on the functioning of quadriceps muscle in teenagers children involved sport activity and not involved in sport activity
Authors: Levickiene Lina , Pociene Monika
Published: May 2021

Research shows that the involvement of majority of Lithuanian schoolchildren in sports activities is insufficient. Lack of physical activity has an adverse effect on their growth and maturity. Scientists, who have studied the issue of physical activity of children in Lithuania, envisage obviously declining trends of physical activity. Research data show that physical activity of more than 50% of boys and over 60% of girls in Lithuania are not sufficient (Skurvydas, 2017). Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that’s requires energy expenditure. The objective of the research: to assess the impact of strengthening exercises on the functioning of quadriceps muscle for teenagers children who are involved in sports activity or not involved in sports activity. Conclusions: 1. After application of strength exercises the increase in thigh volume, quadriceps muscle thickness and strength were statistically significant (p<0.05) in both groups: sporting and non-sporting. Quadriceps muscle thickness and muscle strength were statistically significantly greater (p<0.05) in sporting group, and thigh volume increase was statistically insignificant greater (p>0.05) in non-sporting group. 2. Difference in thigh volume, quadriceps muscle thickness and strength between the dominant and non-dominant leg was statistically insignificant (p>0.05) prior to and after the application of strength exercises. 3. The closest correlation was between the quadriceps muscle thickness and thigh volume as well as between the quadriceps muscle strength and thickness. The relation between the quadriceps muscle strength and thigh volume was average or weak.

Flexibility is an essential quality for an athlete, which is why a high level of flexibility is required to increase efficiency and economy of movement, which interests all sports disciplines.The purpose of this scientific approach is to show that the development of static flexibility specific to foot techniques in karate, for practitioners between the ages of 14 and 18, is not done at random. The drive systems, applied within the programme proposed in this study for the development of flexibility, are subject to anatomically determined laws of motion, are functional and succeed in a methodical sequence.The experiment performed on karate practitioners - Shotokan emphasizes the importance of developing specific mobility which will allow them to execute foot techniques at a higher level and achieve outstanding performance.The application of the tests and the implementation of carefully selected drive systems that contribute to the development of mobility specific to karate techniques substantiates the working hypothesis and validates through its results the correctness of the experimental operation.

Published: May 2021

The fact that in Romania, in the last years, this sport has experienced some regression in terms of number of practitioners is trying to establish whether this affects the achieved results, as the vast majority of the clubs that have speed skating sections still work. Sport selection is of particular importance in achieving the best sports performance, which should be carried out on a continuous basis.This study aims to highlight the evolution of speed skating in our country between 2014-2019, for the senior category, at the national roller speed skating Championship. The events that were targeted in this study are 500m, 1000m, 1500m and 3000m seniors (boys and girls) competitions. The first 3 (or 2, depending on the situation) results per year investigated were collected. The research methods used are: Bibliographic method, data collection and graphical method.From the data shown above it can be noted that, with the exception of the years 2015/2016 (when poor results are most frequently shown) and in two cases during 2018, the achieved results were improved in both girls and boys, in some cases the achieved progress being significant.Although speed skating in Romania is not a sport as publicized as other sports branches, the results are on an ascending line, in the process of improving, which shows that trainers in our country have a level of knowledge comparable to other countries with tradition in the world, increasing funding and attracting sponsorship is one of the factors that can accelerate the advancement of athletes by increasing cantonal numbers, using state-of-the-art equipment, using effort supporters according to their preparation time and age etc.
