Authors: LijiangTao L , Minjuan He , Yisheng Lu , Jie Zheng , Yili Ye
Published: August 2024

Background: This paper aimed to investigate the expression of CXCL12 and S100A12 in peripheral blood (PB) and synovial fluid (SF) of patients with knee osteoarthritis (OS) and to analyze the correlation between them and the severity of knee OS. Methods: Sixty patients with knee OS treated in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were selected as the experimental group, and 60 healthy knee joints with similar ages were selected as the control group. The fasting venous blood of 120 subjects was drawn in the early morning, and the SF was extracted during joint operation or sodium hyaluronate injection. Put the collected PB and SF in the refrigerator at -80 °C. The levels of CXCL12 and S100A12 in PB and SF were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Elisa). Results: The correlation between the levels of CXCL12 and S100A12 in PB and SF and Kmurl L grade and WOMAC score. The levels of CXCL12 and S100A12 in PB and SF in the observation group were higher than those in the control group. There were significant differences in the levels of CXCL12 and S100A12 in PB and SF in the experimental group. The higher the Kmurl grade of knee OS, the higher the concentration of CXCL12 and S100A12 in PB and SF. The levels of CXCL12 and S100A12 in PB of knee OS were positively correlated with WOMAC score (r=0.767, 0.521, respectively, P<0.05); see Figure 1. The levels of CXCL12 and S100A12 in SF of knee OS were positively correlated with WOMAC score (r=0.663, 0.357 respectively, P<0.05). The levels of CXCL12 and S100A12 in PB and SF are positively correlated with the severity of knee OS. Conclusions: The levels of CXCL12 and S100A12 in PB and SF can provide the basis for the evaluation and prognosis of knee OS.

Published: August 2024

Background: To investigate the changes of b2-microglobulin and electrolyte in different stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the value of evaluating prognosis. Methods: A retrospective study was undertaken on 120 patients diagnosed with COPD and treated at our respiratory department between February 1, 2020, and January 31, 2023. These patients were classified into three groups based on the GOLD classification: mild (FEV1 > 81%), moderate (51% < FEV1 ≤ 80%), and severe (FEV1 ≤ 50%). As a control group, 40 healthy individuals who had routine examinations during the same period were selected. The COPD patients were then followed up and divided into a good prognosis group (n = 67) and a poor prognosis group (n = 53). The levels of b2-microglobulin and electrolytes were measured in patients with different stages of the disease and different prognoses. Kendall's tau-b and ordered logistic regression were employed to analyze how the changes in b2-microglobulin and electrolyte levels correlated with disease severity. Furthermore, the prognostic value of b2-microglobulin and electrolyte levels in COPD was assessed using an ROC curve. Results: In comparison to the control group, the severity of COPD patients displayed a notable increase in b2microglobulin levels, while there was a significant decrease in levels of calcium, chlorine, potassium, and sodium. Kendall's tau-b correlation coefficient analysis indicated a positive correlation between COPD severity and b2microglobulin, and a negative correlation between COPD severity and levels of calcium, chlorine, potassium, and sodium. Logistic regression analysis revealed that there was a positive correlation between disease severity and b2microglobulin, and a negative correlation between disease severity and levels of calcium, chlorine, potassium, and sodium. Furthermore, the poor prognosis group exhibited a significant increase in b2-microglobulin levels, alongside a significant decrease in levels of calcium, chlorine, potassium, and sodium compared to the good prognosis group (P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis demonstrated that a combined detection of b2-microglobulin, calcium, chlorine, potassium, and sodium yielded significantly higher area under the curve, sensitivity, and specificity values compared to single detection methods, highlighting its significant predictive value for COPD prognosis. Conclusions: Patients who presented with a more severe form of the disease exhibited elevated levels of b2microglobulin and reduced electrolyte levels. Prognostic accuracy was significantly enhanced when b2-microglobulin and electrolyte levels were analyzed together, offering a superior method for predicting patient outcomes.

On May 30th, Iraq’s Court of Cassation (CC) issued an unprecedented decision invalidating a previous ruling by the country’s highest court in the land, the Federal Supreme Court (FSC). The CC’s judicial coup and self-aggrandizement rests on a flawed doctrinal foundation and runs counter to the judicial hierarchy set out by Iraq’s constitution.
Institute Of Constitutional Complaint In The Republic Of Kazakhstan: Some Issues Of Theory And Practice
Authors: Chekhovich Tatiana
Published: August 2024

The beginning of the Constitutional Court’s operation in the Republic of Kazakhstan marked the posing of a large number of problematic issues that require their solution both at the level of legal theory and practice. The presented article is focused on the analysis of the constitutional complaint’s institution and the formation of suggestions aimed at improving the relevant provisions of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan «On the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan» (hereinafter referred to as the Law).
The author, first of all, studies the issue on the system of entities having the right to file a constitutional complaint. The author states that the current wording of the Art. 45 of the Law unjustifiably narrows the range of such entities. A constitutional complaint is currently not available to foreign citizens and stateless persons, as well as to legal entities, which, according to the author, is a manifestation of discrimination.
Besides, the author studies the issue on the subject matter of a constitutional complaint – regulatory legal acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan. It is concluded that the definition of the category of «regulatory legal acts» is borrowed from the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan «On Legal Acts», which, in turn, is improperly formulated. In particular, it does not absolutely cover all types of legal acts containing the norms of law, which, therefore, «takes» them out of the scope of the subject matter of a constitutional complaint. It is offered that the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan «On Legal Acts» should provide an independent type of regulatory legal act – a legal act of social partnership within the system of legal acts.
The author pays attention at the end of the article to the need to increase the level of consistency of certain provisions of the Art. 45 of the Law with each other. As a result of the conducted research, the author offers the paragraph 1 of Part 2 of the Art. 45 of the Law in the following wording: «the disputed law or another regulatory legal act applied by the court, directly affects the rights and freedoms in a specific case with the participation of a citizen, and a judicial act was issued in the case, which entered into legal force». In addition, some recommendations were made in regard to Part 4 of the Art. 45 of the Law.
As a conclusion, the author indicates the need to take systematic steps aimed at clarifying the provisions of the Law, to establish appropriate procedures, wide informing campaign for citizens about the limits of the competence of the Court, as well as to ensure studying the discipline of «Constitutional Procedural Law» by the students.
