Authors: Kondatyeva E. I. , Sherman V. D. , Shadrina V. V.
Published: November 2021

Introduction. Mucolytic therapy is basic in the treatment of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Currently, inhalation of hypertonic saline (HS) of NaCl is recommended for the treatment of CF patients.

The aim of the study was to investigate the experience of the use of HS NaCl for inhalations CF patients in the Russian Federation.

Material and methods. To estimate the use of HS NaCl, data of national registers for 2011–2019 were used. Pharmacoeconomic analysis of “HS 7% NaCl + 0.1% sodium hyaluronate”, presented in the Russian market, carried out according to the cost estimate for the course of therapy based on the cost from the site of the unified information system in the sphere of procurement.

Results. From 2011 to 2019, an increase in the number of patients receiving the inhalation of a HS is observed. 2011 –8.7% of patients with CF, by 2019 – in 71.5% of CF patients. In 25 regions of the Russian Federation more than 80% of CF patients used HS NaCl. The cost analysis of Russian-made medicinal products for human use containing 7% HS and 0.1% sodium hyaluronate solution, and foreign-made products of similar composition showed that the annual cost of therapy with Russian-made products was 2.15 times lower than that with the foreign-made products. As for the medicinal product mannitol, the annual cost of therapy with a foreign-made product is 8.1 times higher than the cost of a Russian-made product.

Conclusions. The clinical practice of treating patients with CF has accumulated positive use of HS in inhalations, the use of which has increased significantly since 2011. Medical products 3 and 7% HS with a 0.1% solution of sodium hyaluronate are prescribed from the moment of diagnosis and have advantages over the HS pharmacy production over portability and ease of use. The use of the “7% HS with a 0.1% solution of sodium hyaluronate” is mainly determined by the financial accessibility.
Inflammatory markers in exhaled breath condensate in bronchial asthma
Authors: Tereshchenko S. Yu. , Malinchik M. A. , Smolnikova M. V.
Published: November 2021

Chronic respiratory diseases are among the most common non- infection diseases. In particular, it is bronchial asthma (BA), characterized by bronchial hyperreactivity and varying degrees of airway obstruction that is the cause of morbidity and mortality. The methods available for the information about the presence of inflammation in the airways, such as bronchoscopy and bronchial biopsy to be obtained have currently been invasive and difficult in everyday clinical practice, especially for children and seriously ill patients. In this regard, recently there has been an increase in the development of non-invasive methods for diagnosing the respiratory system, being comfortable and painless for trial subjects, especially children, also providing the inflammatory process control in the lungs, the severity assessment and monitoring the treatment process. The exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is of great attention, which is a source of various biomolecules, including nitric oxide (NO), leukotrienes, 8-isoprostane, prostaglandins, etc., being locally or systemically associated with disease processes in the body. Of particular interest is the presence of cytokines in EBC, namely the specific proteins produced by various cells of the body that play a key role in inflammatory processes in AD and provide cell communication (cytokine network). Thereby, it becomes possible for the severity and control level of childhood bronchial asthma using only the EBC analysis to be assessed. In addition, the non-invasiveness of this method allows it to be reused for monitoring lung diseases of even the smallest patients, including infants. Thus, the field of metabolite analysis in EBC has been developing and, in the near future, the given method is likely to be the most common for diagnosing the respiratory system diseases in both children and adults.
Respimat as the new standard for inhalation therapy devices
Authors: Arkhipov V. V.
Published: November 2021

The effectiveness of inhalation therapy can be significantly reduced by a number of problems. For example, inhalation technique errors can reduce the dose delivered by 22-95% compared to the optimal value in patients with technical errors in the use of the inhaler. Sub-optimal inspiratory flow rates in a number of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma are often the cause of technical errors during inhalation. Patient education does not produce the expected results, as the underlying cause of reduced flow is high hyperinflation and weakening of the respiratory musculature. The use of technologically outdated inhalers is another significant cause of reduced therapy effectiveness. Patient education and even conversion to a different inhaler do not always increase the effectiveness of therapy. Respimat, a brand new delivery agent introduced in 2004, allows 39% to 67% of the nominal dose to be delivered to the airways, while the degree of pulmonary deposit is independent of inspiratory flow and pulmonary drug deposit does not decrease with increasing obstruction. Compared to powder inhalers, Respimat creates less resistance to airflow on inhalation. In addition, Respimat is an active device that requires no effort on the part of the patient to move the aerosol particles. These features make Respimat the new standard for inhalation therapy. This review aims to familiarise readers with the main features of the Respimat and the latest research findings

Published: November 2021

The water supply in the Gaza Strip substantially depends on the groundwater resource of the Gaza coastal aquifer. The climate changes and the over-exploiting processes negatively impact the recovery of the groundwater balance. The climate variability is characterized by the decline in the precipitation of −5.2% and an increase in temperature of +1 °C in the timeframe of 2020–2040. The potential evaporation and the sunshine period are expected to increase by about 111 mm and 5 hours, respectively, during the next 20 years. However, the atmosphere is predicted to be drier where the relative humidity will fall by a trend of −8% in 20 years. The groundwater abstraction is predicted to increase by 55% by 2040. The response of the groundwater level to climate change and groundwater pumping was evaluated using a model of a 20-neuron ANN with a performance of the correlation coefficient (r)=0.95–0.99 and the root mean square error (RMSE)=0.09–0.21. Nowadays, the model reveals that the groundwater level ranges between −0.38 and −18.5 m and by 2040 it is expected to reach −1.13 and −28 m below MSL at the northern and southern governorates of the Gaza Strip, respectively.
Ultrafine bubbles as an augmenting agent for ozone-based advanced oxidation
Authors: Temesgen Tatek , Han Mooyoung
Published: November 2021

In this study, the influence of nanobubbles (NBs) application in ozone (O3) based advanced oxidation processes (AOP) is investigated. The results demonstrate the potential of NBs application to O3 – based AOP. It was observed that NBs suppress the negative influence of pH and operating temperatures on the efficiency of ozonation. In addition, the application of NBs tends to improve the solubility of O3 and the rate of mass transfer under the influence of a broad range of temperature and pH conditions. The results of this research indicate that application of NBs minimized the reduction in concentration of dissolved O3 with an increase in temperature. Furthermore, application of NBs highly improved the OH radical formation in acidic conditions. The results of this research depicted for first time that the application of NBs strongly encourages the initiation of reactions involving OH radicals. It was found by this research that NBs can boost the concentration of OH radicals up to 3.5 fold compared to equivalent MB-supported ozonation systems. This is assumed to improve the efficiency of currently existing conventional bubble supported O3 – based AOP systems.
The research on the control of chlorinated by-products by the combined process of three-dimensional electrode system and ultraviolet-photocatalytic oxidation
Authors: Wang Li , Liang Hong , Zhang Kaibin , Huang Hong , Wang Qingchun
Published: November 2021

Advanced oxidation technology is considered to be the most potential wastewater treatment technology. As one of the advanced oxidation technologies, the three-dimensional electrochemical system (3DES) is often used to treat industrial wastewater that is difficult to degrade. Sulphonated phenolic resin (SMP) was treated as a characteristic pollutant in sulfonated drilling wastewater. The separate effect of current, the dosage of particle electrodes, chloride ion concentration and initial pH on chlorinated by-products were analyzed by response surface methodology (RSM). Results showed that current is the most dominant factor, followed by the dosage of particle electrodes. The ultraviolet-electrolysis (UVEL) system was implemented by adding ultraviolet light under the optimal electrolysis (EL) system. The chemical oxygen demand (CODcr) and total organic carbon (TOC) removal rates of the UVEL system were respectively increased by 19% and 29.39% compared with the EL system, the concentration of chlorinated by-products was also reduced by 534.4 mg/L when the UV irradiance was 5.24 mW/cm2. These results indicated that the UVEL system degrades SMP more thoroughly. The enhanced reaction mechanism of the UVEL system and the possible degradation pathway for SMP were proposed by controlling free radical quenching experiments and the product of EL and UVEL processes. The results showed that the high degradation efficiency of the UVEL system could be attributed to the synergistic degradation mechanism present in the UVEL system, where the photolysis of active chlorine species (ACl) promotes the increase of hydroxyl radical (·OH).

Authors: Atmakusuma Tubagus Djumhana , Rachman Andhika , Ritchie Ni Ken
Published: November 2021

Background: Evaluation and identification of HLA antibodies in the recipient’s serum is of utmost importance prior to transplantation and transfusion. HLA typing is a steppingstone in proposing a donor panel. In order to obtain the HLA typing, Polymerase Chain Reaction-Sequence Specific Primers (PCR-SSP) can be performed.Materials and method: This is a preliminary study to determine HLA polymorphism by HLA genotyping in 43 blood donors. DNA from the samples was isolated using commercial kits according to the standard protocol. The DNA then was amplified using PCR-SSP methods and analyzed using the provided set in the kit.Results: This study found that the most frequent HLA-A alleles was HLA-A*24 (41.9%). For HLA-B alleles, the most common was HLA-B*15 (28%). Most frequent HLA-A-B haplotypes was HLA-A*24-B*15 (11.3%). The results from this study concurs with that of previous study. However, some alleles might vary due to difference in study population. Determining HLA-typing is of paramount importance in an ethnically diverse country such as Indonesia. In contrast to homogenous caucassian country, difference in ethnicity might cause platelet refractoriness due to incompatibility. HLA-typing would also guide the diagnostic workup and required treatment strategy for platelet refractoriness.Conclusion: From the HLA typing using PCR-SSP in blood donors in Jakarta, we found that the most frequent alleles were HLA-A*24 and HLA-B*15; and the most frequent haplotypes were HLA-A*24-B*15. This study should be upscaled to include larger population and ethnic groups to obtain complete profile of Indonesian population.Keywords: platelet refractoriness, HLA, donor, PCR-SSP, transfusion medicine
The Toxicity Testing of Cyanobacterial Toxins In vivo and In vitro by
Mouse Bioassay: A Review
Authors: Ahari Hamed , Nowruzi Bahareh , Anvar Amir Ali , Porzani Samaneh Jafari
Published: November 2021

:

Different biological methods based on bioactivity are available to detect cyanotoxins, including
neurotoxicity, immunological interactions, hepatotoxicity, cytotoxicity, and enzymatic activity.
The mouse bioassay is the first test employed in laboratory cultures, cell extracts, and water bloom
materials to detect toxins. It is also used as a traditional method to estimate the LD50. Concerning the
ease of access and low cost, it is the most common method for this purpose. In this method, a sample
is injected intraperitoneally into adult mice, and accordingly, they are assayed and monitored for
about 24 hours for toxic symptoms. The toxin can be detected using this method from minutes to a
few hours; its type, e.g., hepatotoxin, neurotoxin, etc., can also be determined. However, this method
is nonspecific, fails to detect low amounts, and cannot distinguish between homologues. Although the
mouse bioassay is gradually replaced with new chemical and immunological methods, it is still the
main technique to detect the bioactivity and efficacy of cyanotoxins using LD50 determined based on
the survival time of animals exposed to the toxin. In addition, some countries oppose animal use in
toxicity studies. However, high cost, ethical considerations, low-sensitivity, non-specificity, and prolonged
processes persuade researchers to employ chemical and functional analysis techniques. The
qualitative and quantitative analyses, as well as high specificity and sensitivity, are among the advantages
of cytotoxicity tests to investigate cyanotoxins. The present study aimed at reviewing the
results obtained from in vitro and in vivo investigations of the mouse bioassay to detect cyanotoxins,
including microcystins, cylindrospermopsin, saxitoxins, etc.

Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease
Authors: Georgianos Panagiotis I. , Roumeliotis Stefanos , Eleftheriadis Theodoros , Liakopoulos Vassilios
Published: November 2021

:

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD)
worldwide [1]. The development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with T2DM substantially
increases their risk for cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality [2]. In fact, when
T2DM and early-stage CKD co-exist, the risk for CV death is several times higher than the risk
for progression to ESKD [3]. Therefore, there is a need for the development of novel therapies to
improve CV and kidney failure outcomes in this high-risk population. In this brief perspective,
we explore the role of sodium-glucose co-transporter type-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors and the nonsteroidal
mineralocorticoid-receptor-antagonist (MRA) finerenone, in the management of diabetic
kidney disease (DKD).
Efficacy of Gefitinib in Patients with Advanced Non-small-cell Carcinoma of the Lung Harboring Common, Uncommon and Complex EGFR Mutations
Authors: Kwok Wang Chun , Chiang Ka Yan , Ho James Chung Man , Tam Terence Chi Chun , Ip Mary Sau Man , Lam David Chi Leung
Published: November 2021

Background:

As the commonest EGFR-TKI being used in Hong Kong, gefitinib has
shown to be efficacious and safe as first-line treatment for L858R mutation and exon 19 deletions
with less gastrointestinal and cutaneous adverse events than erlotinib and afatinib. The evidence for
therapeutic efficacy for uncommon and complex EGFR mutations, on the other hand, is lacking. It
is important to explore whether or not gefitinib is helpful for uncommon and complex EGFR mutations.

Objectives:

To assess the therapeutic efficacy of gefitinib, as measured by progression-free survival
and overall survival, among advanced-stage lung cancer patients with common, uncommon,
and complex EGFR mutations.

Methods:

This retrospective cohort study included 241 Chinese patients with advanced non-smallcell
carcinoma of the lung harboring EGFR mutations and received gefitinib 250 mg daily as firstline
treatment. The progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for patients with different
EGFR mutations, namely exon 19 deletions, L858R mutation in exon 21, uncommon EGFR
mutations, and complex EGFR mutations, were analyzed.

Results:

Among the 241 patients, 118 (49%) had exon 19 deletion, 104 (43%) had L858R mutation
in exon 21, 6 (2.5%) had uncommon EGFR mutations, and 13 (5.4%) had complex EGFR mutations.
The mean age was 69. 72% of the patients were female, and 81% were non-smokers. Patients
with complex EGFR mutations, regardless of the presence of exon 19 deletion and L858R mutation
as the component, have better PFS and OS than patients with single common EGFR mutations
(Exon 19 deletion or L858R mutation). Patients with uncommon EGFR mutations have inferior
PFS and OS than those with common EGFR mutations.

Conclusion:

Gefitinib is a possible option for patients with complex EGFR mutations, while it
may not be the preferred treatment option in patients with single uncommon EGFR mutations.

American courtroom discourse
Authors: Zaitseva Margaryta , Zatsnyi Yurii
Published: November 2021

Since the twentieth century, information has become a particularly powerful tool of influence in all realms of human activities. The sender of the speech seeks to influence their recipients by all available means, both lingual and non-lingual. For this reason, we have placed special emphasis on psychological phenomena that help the speech author to succeed in court. One of such seminal psychological phenomena is transgression. Notwithstanding a thorough study of this issue, we have not come across any studies of courtroom discourse dealing with this phenomenon. While exploring the texts of the prosecutors` and defense attorneys` speeches we applied contextual and linguo-stylistic analyses as well as intent and discourse analysis methods.Based on such findings, transgression in courtroom discourse is used simultaneously to erase bounds, on the one hand, and to create hype and epatage, on the other. It is created with the help of lexical means mostly which can be either invective directly or become invective in the context.

Published: November 2021

Although many studies on blended have been done, very few have studied what linguists advise about teaching English as a foreign language using blended learning-based teaching methods and systems. So, we have collected as much data as possible and began to study it with a phenomenological approach. We get the data by searching electronic engines in well-known journals that discuss the issue of Learning English with a blended teaching system. Because this is a data review study, we focus on the field data evidence published between 2010 and 2021. The data sources include Elsevier journal publications, Google Books, Sage, ERIC, and other national publications. After a series of studies involving in-depth evaluation and coding systems, we can finally conclude our findings with valid and reliable principles, which include, among other things, that mixed teaching allows students to learn all English skills, including writing, listening, speaking, and reading. It is divided into face-to-face and online stages, and both practices listening well to each other, and they can balance the two learning models.

Published: November 2021

The process of language unit reinterpretation to use them in a new communicative or syntactic function is observed in the history of development of all human languages and is characterized by extreme complexity and heterogeneity. This article deals with the process of transition of personal proper names to the category of common names at the morphological level, where the factor of this transition is the grammatical category of the plural, which determines the semantic specificity of proper names in a different way than that of common names. This is due to the fact that proper names are oriented to a single object, which does not imply multiplicity. The resulting semantic shift leading to partial or complete transition of proper names, is described in this article.

Published: November 2021

The world has entered the era of digital democracy. Netizens (citizens of the internet) can deliver the facts or truths of an event through online media. On the other hand, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has changed world order in different terms. The netizens can use parrhesia to deliver views to the world through internet. This paper studies the parrhesia democracy by netizens about COVID-19. The used questions were answered by the discourse semiotics approach. Data collection was done through distributing questionnaires online. The results revealed that the netizens’ freedom to use parrhesia concerning COVID-19 on the internet media raises ambiguous facts or information. Various myths or hoaxes that spread on social media have confused people in dealing with COVID-19. Social media with e-democracy provides free and uncontrolled opportunities in distributing opinions. However, the freedom to provide information without based on facts also results in myths or hoaxes which, later, have a universal meaning in society.

Published: November 2021

The purpose of this study is to develop a valid and reliable TPACK (technological pedagogical content knowledge) scale based on the core components of TPACK framework in order to measure teacher-educators’ TPACK. For this purpose, 46 statements were developed and tested by 5-point Likert type scale. Data were collected from 642 teacher educators working in different colleges of education under different universities in state of Punjab. The collected data was analyzed by using SPSS 22.0 software. The Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was carried out in order to investigate the factor structure of the scale. EFA resulted in six factors named as Pedagogical skills, Creative thinking skills, Ethics, Instructional design, Innovativeness and Virtual learning environment. The Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient for the whole scale was calculated as .848. The KMO value was calculated as .889 and the Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity examined (chi-square = 17196.73; df = 1035), which is significant (P-Value<.001). Based on result and in comparison with the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient values for other TPACK surveys in the literature as a whole and for their sub-components the TPACK scale established here can be said to have a high level of reliability in terms of its factors and as a whole.

Current tendencies question the role of science in modern society, force returning to the processes of formation of the scientific paradigm. The latter was complex and nonlinear, and the formation of scientific principles of cognition was their natural result. Throughout human history, the knowledge about the objective world has been acquired and used in various, historically necessary forms – both in the methodology of cognition and in the method of systematisation, which was determined by the level of their accumulation. The accumulation of knowledge took place in different ways: in the process of direct practical activity, on the basis of supposedly “foreign” contemplation and as a result of conscious influence on an object of study (experiment) with their different “specific weight” at different historical stages. As for the systematisation, the need for which was determined by systemic nature of an object of knowledge and the social nature of knowledge, throughout the history of mankind its forms differed considerably, but, in the end, were reduced to three main ones.

Published: November 2021

In the article, the author analyzes information interventions as threats to the cybernetic security of Ukraine. The relevance of this study is due to the fact that large number of socially dangerous acts aimed at harming state interests can now be used both in the information space and in purely cyberspace. Since such actions are performed using computer systems and performed in cyberspace, we propose to define this type of intervention as “cybernetic intervention”, describing it as a separate group of socially dangerous acts aimed at damaging the information infrastructure of States, vital areas of society's existence. The main aim of this study is to analyze information intervention as a threat to cyber security of Ukraine. The interpretation of terms that make up the conceptual and categorical apparatus of the subject of research is carried out. A narrow definition of the concept of “information intervention” is proposed as the violent intervention of one or more subjects of information relations in the activities of another or others, and a broad definition – a certain set of aggressive actions that are aimed at influencing public opinion and decision-making within one or another country and achieving clearly defined results.

The introduction of quarantine restrictions in the world has led to restrictions on many industries of both economic and social spheres of life. Education has not become an exception. The need to level the large number of students necessitated the search for alternative ways of organising educational and pedagogical processes. This is especially an issue for higher education institutions. Higher education institutions train specialists for many sectors of the economy and a significant break in the educational process due to quarantine restrictions could lead to a real collapse of the higher education system. This necessitates the search for ways to transform the pedagogical process in higher education institutions and the introduction of alternative mechanisms and methods of organising the educational process. The purpose of the study was to investigate the ways of transformation of the pedagogical process in higher education during the quarantine. A systematic algorithm for studying the transformation of the pedagogical process in conditions of quarantine and quarantine restrictions in higher education has been developed. The advantages and disadvantages of distance learning technologies of higher education have been identified. The main features of such remote technologies as Moodle, Google Classroom, and Zoom are analysed.

The major thesis of the article is that the unique characteristics of the tourism in the context of systemic transformations are crucial for the formation of agency/subjectivity as well as responsible spontaneous nature of human capital. The article emphasises the role of the tourism sector for solving modern historical problems of revising and optimising, as humanisation and elevation, the resource wealth of the human person. The functions of tourism practices that use the specifics of location (nature, personnel, history) to solve global problems via cooperation, especially in the context of technological, biological, and environmental challenges of anthroposociogenesis, are being investigated and reconciled for the sustainable development of society under global risks and uncertainty. Particular attention is paid to the fact that the cultural characteristics of social space are constituted and, at the same time, constitute its symbolic character through communication.
