Objective: To analyze the results of emergency surgery to oncological patients in general surgical and oncological hospitals Methods: It has analysed the results of examinations and treatments of 122 patients with complicated forms of malignant neoplasms that treated at SROC in the period from 2012 to 2016. Results: Indications for emergency surgery in 41 patients with complicated colorectal cancer were: acute intestinal obstruction – 29 (70.7%), perforation of the tumor – 6 (14.6%), bleeding – 1 (2.4%) and paraproctitis – 5 (17.2%) patients. Primarily radical operations in the volume of hemicolectomy were performed in 15 (36.6%) cases. Symptomatic operations were performed in 21 (51.2%) patients with a locally advanced process and with the presence of distant metastases. In addition, 87 cases of emergency operations were analyzed in case of complicated malignant tumours performed in 5 medical institutions of Sogd region in 2012-2016. It was found that in non-core institutions, during the primary operation, surgeons do not always perform the adequate volume of interventions. Conclusion: Among patients who received emergency surgery in Sogd region for the period of 2012-2016, the most frequent cases are complicated by colorectal cancer, stomach (gastric) cancer and tumours of reproductive system. Of the total number of observed patients (209) in 122 cases (58.4%), patients received specialized care in the Sogdian Regional Oncological Center, and in 87 cases (41.5%) in general surgical hospitals of the region. The presence of severe complications during tumour process is not a sign of non-resectable tumours, and the implementation of emergency operations in general surgery hospital has a number of drawbacks Keywords: Complicated malignant neoplasms, emergency surgery, radical operations.

Objective: To establish risk factors of the development of penitentiary tuberculosis in conditions of stabilization of the epidemic situation. Methods: 1463 patients with various forms and clinical cure for tuberculosis were observed in penitentiary institutions. Standard methods for diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, including psychometric examination, as well as new pathogen detection tools, such as Xpert® MTB/RIF, BAK-TEK-960 systems, and DikskinT are used for tuberculin diagnostics. Results: The effectiveness of anti-epidemic measures is established integrated with the administration of penitentiary institutions. The contingent of HIV-infected people becomes one of the main risk groups and sharply increases, while up to 30% of dispensary contingents are "diagnostic" socially maladaptive individuals who were examined to verify the etiology and activity of the process. The importance of socially-determined risk factors has been confirmed, however the leading importance is the state of clinical cure, staying in contact and in extreme conditions and concomitant diseases. First setting individual psycho-functional states (as a state of aggression and embitterment) is established in the development of penitentiary tuberculosis or its recurrence. The risk of tuberculosis is increased by 1.3 times in the presence of concomitant diseases, and the probability of occurrence of active tuberculosis in persons suffering from various concomitant pathologies is 1.7 times higher in those in extreme conditions than in healthy people in similar conditions. At simultaneous influence of such factors, the risk of the disease rises by four, and together with relapses (active tuberculosis) – almost seven times. Conclusion: Recommended developing targeted measures to prevent the spread of the infection in penitentiary institutions, taking into account risk factors. Keywords: Tuberculosis, penitentiary institutions, risk factors.
The Right to Timely Medical Care: Mechanism of Implementation
Authors: Katynska L. R.
Published: March 2023

The content of the right to timely medical care is highlighted in this article. An analysis of the national legislation in the field of timeliness of emergency, primary, and specialized medical care was carried out and its comparison was made with international standards in the specified field, as well as with the doctrinal understanding of the timeliness of medical care. While emergency medical care is built on the principle of continuity and the maximum terms for receiving this type of medical care are established, primary and specialized medical care require legislative revision with regards to establishing the maximum terms for receiving primary and specialized medical care, ensuring the continuity of primary medical care, in particular on weekends, public holidays, non-working days. The legislator should pay special attention to ensuring the timeliness of specialized medical care upon referral, as well as the patient’s right to information about the possibility of receiving timely medical care in healthcare institutions. Other deficiencies in the legal regu- lation of the right to timely medical care are identified and ways to overcome this problem are proposed.

Published: March 2023

The manufacture of vibration damping material from natural rubber (NR) required an increase in dynamic properties, thermal stability, and resistance to heat. Using the Carbon Black N990 as a filler in NR vulcanizates can potentially increase on these properties. This research aims to study the effect of using Carbon Black N990 on dynamic properties, thermal stability, and aging resistance to heat in NR vulcanizates. The dynamic properties of NR vulcanizates were determined by Rubber Process Analyzer (RPA), while the thermal stability properties were studied by TGA, and heat resistance was determined by the thermal aging test. The RPA test results showed that adding 50 phr Carbon Black N990 in the NR compound could increase the value of the complex shear modulus to 65%. Furthermore, the results of the TGA test showed that the thermal stability properties of unfilled NR vulcanizates were better than that of NR vulcanizates containing Carbon Black N990. Unfilled NR vulcanizates were heat stable up to 353oC, while NR vulcanizates containing 15, 30, and 50 parts per hundred rubber (phr) Carbon Black N990, respectively, were heat stable up to 348.1oC, 348oC, and 349oC. Based on the requirements of ISO 4632-1, it showed that the NR compound containing Carbon Black N990 has good heat resistance properties. The NR compound formula contains 30 phr Carbon Black N990 showing good dynamic properties and heat resistance in accordance with EN 15129 requirements so that it has the potential to be used as a vibration damping material for earthquake-resistant structures.

Published: March 2023

Approximately 10% of total fish production is wasted due to decomposition. Excessive formalin use in fish preservation can be potentially lethal. One of the natural preservatives is edible coating, which can be prepared from natural ingredients such as mandarin orange peel (Citrus reticulata) pectin and Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera) which contain antibacterial compounds. The purpose of this research was to examine the antibacterial influence of edible coatings made from pectin of mandarin orange peel with the addition of Moringa leaf extract and to determine its effect on the freshness of nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Moringa leaf extraction was performed using the Soxhlet extraction method with 96% ethanol at 60–80 °C, while the mandarin orange peel was isolated by reflux using 1% HCl with a pH of 1.5 for 4 hours at 90 °C. Edible coating was synthesized from mandarin orange peel pectin and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) which was homogenized with distilled water, and glycerol was added as a plasticizer. Edible coatings were prepared with various concentrations of 0%, 50%, and 100% Moringa leaf extract. Nile tilapia with the addition of edible coatings experienced slower decay, especially in the variations of 100% Moringa leaf extract. This was evidenced by the quantitative test through the Total Plate Count (TPC) test which still did not exceed the limit of >5.6 log CFU/g.

Objetivo: Analisar a estabilidade da cor dos dentes submetidos à técnica de clareamento dental. Revisão bibliográfica: Vários fatores podem afetar a estética de um sorriso, um dos mais preocupantes para os indivíduos é o escurecimento ou amarelamento dos dentes. Buscar o clareamento dental já virou rotina nos consultórios odontológicos, e uma dúvida comum dos pacientes é sobre a duração do tratamento. Fatores extrínsecos e intrínsecos podem levar a alterações na cor dos dentes, que podem ser observadas em diversos indivíduos. As manchas extrínsecas são provenientes principalmente da dieta após a erupção dos dentes e são resultado de corantes e pigmentos depositados na placa que recobre o esmalte. As intrínsecas podem ser causadas por fenômenos pré-exantemáticos ou pós-exantemáticos, sejam eles de origem natural, fisiológica, ingestão excessiva de certos medicamentos, ou hemorragia interna por traumatismo dentário. Considerações finais: O clareamento é um procedimento seguro e eficaz se indicado e realizado de forma adequada, mas apresenta vantagens e desvantagens, sendo importante informar aos pacientes sobre possível recidiva da cor, possíveis estimativas de duração do clareamento e fatores influenciadores do mesmo.

Epicardial Fat Tissue Thickness as a Cardiovascular Risk Marker and its Association with Microalbuminuria in Patients with Essential Hypertension
Authors: Kashyap C. A. Ajeya , Harish Hemanth
Published: March 2023

Objectives:

Hypertension is one of the essential modifiable risk factors in causing stroke, renal disease, cardiovascular diseases, and peripheral artery disease. Epicardial fat tissue is regarded as endocrine organ and is metabolically active as it produces angiotensinogen and free fatty acids which are proinflammatory cytokines and are atherogenic. The presence of microalbuminuria has been associated with endothelial dysfunction that predisposes to cardiovascular events. The aim of this study is to determine the association of epicardial fat tissue with age, sex, serum creatinine, left ventricular (LV) mass, serum albumin, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglycerides in patients with essential hypertension.

Materials and Methods:

One hundred patients with essential hypertension were divided into two groups each having 50 patients. Group A included urinary albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) <30 mg/g. Group B included UACR >30 mg/g. Age, body mass index, blood pressure, creatinine, urea, albumin, LDL, triglycerides, and epicardial adipose tissue thickness (EAT) were evaluated and compared between two groups. All patients underwent UACR, transthoracic echocardiography to determine EAT, LV mass, and ejection fraction.

Results:

In our study, EAT ranged from 2 mm to 6.9 mm, with mean value of 3.21 mm and 5.12 mm in Groups A and B, respectively. Mean EAT values were found to be higher in Group B compared to A and was found to be statistically significant. Similarly, LDL, triglycerides, serum albumin levels, and LV mass showed significant difference among two groups. Serum albumin level in Group B was significantly reduced than the patients with normal urine albumin creatinine ratio.

Conclusion:

EAT serve as an important indicator in patients with essential hypertension to determine target organ damage and to stratify high risk group.
History of advances in genetic engineering of viruses before COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Teppone Mikhail
Published: March 2023

Background:

On December 31, 2019, the World Health Organization’s China Country Office was alerted to cases of pneumonia of unknown cause detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province of China.

Methods:

Due to the fact that to date, the question of the origin of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has not been resolved yet, the author analyzed the main advances in the development of genetic engineering of viruses that took place before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Results:

The first artificial genetically modified viruses could appear in nature in the mid-1950s. The technique of nucleic acid hybridization was developed by the end-1960s. In the late 1970s, a method called the “reverse genetics” emerged to synthesize ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid molecules. In the early 1980-s, it became possible to combine the genes of different viruses and insert the genes of one virus into the genome of another virus. Since that time, the production of vector vaccines began. At present, by modern technologies one can assemble any virus based on the nucleotide sequence available in the virus database or designed by a computer as a virtual model.

Conclusion:

Scientists around the world are invited to answer the call of Neil Harrison and Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University, for a thorough and independent investigation into the origin of SARS-CoV-2. Only a full understanding of the origin of the new virus can minimize the likelihood of a similar pandemic in the future.

“This is Also Familiar to Me...”: Explicit and Hidden Meanings of Table Music in the Second Act Finale of “Don Giovanni” by W. A. Mozart
Authors: Денисов А.В.
Published: March 2023

В статье исследуются три цитаты в финале второго акта «Дон Жуана» В. А. Моцарта. Они редко привлекали внимание исследователей. Вместе с тем интерпретация застольной сцены у Моцарта и в целом, и в отдельных деталях оказывается весьма необычной. Попурри на основе заимствованной музыки в опере XVIII в. — явление экстраординарное. Показано, что все три цитаты представляют смысловые комментарии не только к тому, что происходит в данный момент на сцене, но и к сценическим положениям, свершившимся в опере ранее, а также к тому, что в ней вскоре произойдет. Выдвигается предположение, что данную сцену финала можно рассматривать как функциональный аналог «спектакля в спектакле», представленного в некоторых операх XVIII в. (например, в «Аксуре» А. Сальери). Кроме этого застольная сцена финала второго акта имеет композиционную параллель со сценой финала первого акта, представляющей quodlibet из трех танцев: в обоих случаях празднично-пиршественные образы ликования жизни и любви внезапно прерываются, напоминая о грядущем возмездии главному герою. Столь сложная организация с различными смысловыми ссылками и параллелями, уникальная для жанра оперы-buffa, вновь свидетельствует о многоплановости его трактовки у Моцарта.

The article examines three quotes in the finale of the second act of “Don Giovanni” by W. A. Mozart. This scene rarely attracted the attention of researchers. At the same time, Mozart's interpretation of the table scene, both in general and in individual details, turns out to be very unusual. A potpourri based on borrowed music in XVIIIth-century opera is an extraordinary phenomenon. It is shown that all three quotations represent semantic comments not only on what is currently happening on the stage, but also on the stage situations that took place in the opera earlier, as well as on what will happen in it soon. It  is suggested that this scene of the finale is a functional analogue of the “performance in a performance” presented in some operas of the XVIIIth century (for example, in “Axur” by A. Salieri). In addition, the table scene of the second act finale is a compositional parallel to the scene of the first act finale, representing a quodlibet of three dances — in both cases, the festive and feasting images of life and love jubilation are suddenly interrupted, reminding the soon coming retribution to the main hero. Such a complex organization with various semantic references and parallels, unique for the opera buffa genre, again testifies to the versatility in its interpretation by Mozart.

Статья представляет обзор звуковых и рукописных документов архангельской коллекции из фондов НЦНМ имени К. В. Квитки. История собирания музыкального фольклора на территориях Русского Севера, не являвшихся приоритетными для фольклористов Московской консерватории, вписана в контекст общей истории отечественной этномузыкологии ХХ века. Направления собирательской работы отражают ключевые тенденции соответствующих периодов в советской музыкально-фольклористической науке. В 1930-е годы остро стоял вопрос обновления народных традиций в иных социально-идеологических условиях. В 1950-е годы поиск новых форм оставался по-прежнему важной собирательской задачей, однако записи частушечных и других «современных» и «осовремененных» текстов не препятствовали интересу исследователей к архаическим жанрам в их исконном виде. В этом смысле примечательно соседство в экспедиционных материалах частушек и былин, свадебных приговоров и сказов о Ворошилове, Ленине и Сталине. Записи 1960-х годов, наиболее многочисленные и разнообразные, демонстрируют, среди прочего, не свойственный музыковедам-фольклористам интерес к немузыкальным жанрам: заговорам, приговорам, сказкам, стихам, загадкам. Статья завершается выводом о необходимости внимательного изучения и введения документов архангельской коллекции НЦНМ в широкий научный оборот.

The article is devoted to the characteristics of the Arkhangelsk collection from the funds of the Klyment Kvitka Folk Music Research Center of the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory. The history of collecting musical folklore in the territories of the Russian North, which were not a priority for the folklorists of the Moscow Conservatory, is inscribed in the context of the history of Russian ethnomusicology of the 20th century. The character of the fieldwork show key trends of particular periods in Soviet musical ethnography. For the period of 1930s it was the problem on updating folk traditions according to the new socio-ideological conditions. In the 1950s, the search for new forms was still an important task, but recording of chastushkas (couplets) and other “modern” and “modernized” texts did not conflict with the interest of the folklorists in archaic genres in their original form. In this sense, it is remarkable to note how chastushkas, epics, and wedding whisperings go in the expedition materials along with tales about Soviet leaders and heroes of the October revolution of 1917 and the subsequent civil war. The documents of the 1960s, the most numerous and diverse, demonstrate researchers’ interest in non-musical genres (which is not peculiar for musicologists-folklorists): spells, whisperings, fairy tales, poems, riddles. The author makes a conclusion about relevance of introducing the documents of the Arkhangelsk collection of the Klyment Kvitka Folk Music Research Center into a wide scientific circulation.
Ni-Catalyzed Regioselective Intermolecular Dialkylation of Alkenylarenes. Generation of Two Vicinal C(sp3)-C(sp3) Bonds Across Alkenes
Authors: Lux Daniel M. , Aryal Vivek , Niroula Doleshwar , Giri Ramesh
Published: March 2023

We disclose a Ni-catalyzed regioselective dialkylation reaction of alkenylarenes with -halocarbonyls and alkylzinc reagents. The reaction produces -arylated alkanecarbonyl compounds with the generation of two new C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds at the vicinal carbons of alkenes. This reaction is effective for the use of primary, secondary and tertiary -halocarboxylic esters, amides and ketones in conjunction with primary and secondary alkylzinc reagents as the sources of two C(sp3) carbons for the dialkylation of terminal and cyclic internal alkenes.

Published: March 2023

A micro-chip based three-electrode electrochemical reactor enabling controlled, variable electrolyte flow, rapid electrolyte change and applied electrode potentials was used for in-situ soft X-ray spectro-ptychography of Cu particle catalysts under electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2R) conditions. In comparison to scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM), the spatial resolution was improved by a factor of three through measuring patterns of diffracted photons via spectro-ptychography. We present here a detailed study of how individual cubic Cu particles change morphology and oxidation state as a function of applied potential during CO2R. Quantitative chemical mapping by in-situ spectro-ptychography demonstrated that as-deposited, primarily mixed Cu(I) and Cu(0) particles were completely reduced to pure Cu(0) at an electrode potential of -0.2 VRHE, above the potential at which CO2R commences. At increasingly negative potentials, in the regime of CO2R, these Cu(0) particles underwent morphological changes, losing the initial cubic structure and forming irregular dendritic-like structures. This initial demonstration of in-situ soft X-ray spectro-ptychography sheds insight on the morphological and chemical structural changes of Cu particles in the CO2R regime and paves the way for more detailed in-situ studies of electrochemical materials and processes.
Metal-free Conjugated Polyphenothiazine Nanostructures as Visible Light Active Photocatalysts for the Removal of Organic Pollutants and Selective Aerobic Oxidation of Sulfides

Phenothiazine (PTZ) and its derivatives have traditionally been used for photocatalytic molecular oxygen activation in a variety of chemical transformation processes. Despite having a high reduction potential, phenothiazine is transparent under visible light and thus has limited photocatalytic activity at low energies of incidence. We have synthesized highly conjugated polyphenothiazine (PPTZ) nanomaterials via Chemical oxidative polymerization (COP) of PTZ in a one-pot reaction. Polymerization with metal-free oxidizing agents converted PTZ from being a UV-active material to visible light active via π-conjugation extension. Thus, PPTZ was found to be a highly active metal-free photocatalyst for the selective aerobic oxidation of alkyl arylthiosulfide to the corresponding sulfoxide under visible light. This is the first example of metal-free, conjugated PPTZ nanoparticles as a visible light-active photocatalyst for the activation of triplet molecular oxygen. The reduction potential of PPTZ was found to be suitable for the activation of triplet oxygen to produce a moderately reactive superoxide radical anion (O2⋅−) for selective oxidation reactions. PPTZ also exhibited highly active photocatalytic decomposition of organic pollutants under aerobic conditions.

Enamides are valuable building blocks in organic synthesis that give access to complex nitrogen-containing compounds. However, despite their high interest, synthetic strategies to access enamides with carbon-centered chirality are scarce. Herein, we report a mild and robust synthetic method towards novel gamma-chiral, trifluoromethylated enamides from easily accessible alpha-chiral allylic amines through efficient chirality transfer (up to 99.5%) with excellent yields, diastereo- and enantioselectivities. A broad and diverse scope is presented that tolerates various substituents and functional groups. Additionally, multiple organic transformations were performed to access new chiral complex scaffolds. Among them, a novel protocol for the E/Z isomerization of enamides is presented.

Carbene coinage metal carbazolates are currently the most efficient organometallic TADF emitters. Herein we report on the photophysical influence of introducing a [2.2]paracyclophane moiety via a carbazolophane ligand instead of carbazolate, which greatly enhances the radiative rate constants by a factor of three to 1-3·106 s-1 for triplet exciton emission.

Bimetallic alloy catalysts can achieve a diverse range of reactivity inaccessible to pure metals. Classically, catalytic promotion in alloy catalysts has been ascribed to atomic scale cooperativity between the metal constituents. For catalytic reactions that could involve charge transfer to solution, electron flow across a conductive support can be coupled to ionic flow through solution to permit, in principle, bimetallic promotion even in the complete absence of atomic level connectivity between metal constituents. We examine this hypothesis in the context of nitrate hydrogenation, a reaction that is catalyzed almost exclusively by bimetallic catalysts. Using the state-of-the-art PdCu/C catalyst, we show that the overall nitrate hydrogenation reaction proceeds via the electrochemical coupling of the hydrogen oxidation and nitrate reduction half-reactions. Studies of each metal in isolation reveal that Pd exclusively catalyzes the former, while Cu exclusively catalyzes the latter. These findings suggest that nitrate hydrogenation on PdCu alloys proceeds via galvanic coupling of complementary half-reactions on Pd and Cu, obviating the need for atomic scale cooperativity. Based on this mechanistic insight, we design two new nitrate hydrogenation catalysts, RuCu and RuAg, that operate via the same principle with comparable activity to PdCu. This work enables new strategies for the design of bimetallic catalysis for thermochemical transformations, by pairing metals with disparate electrochemical reactivity.
Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on Energy Consumption: Empirical Evidence
Authors: Dey Sima Rani , Islam Monirul
Published: March 2023

The paper investigates the association between foreign direct investment (FDI) and energy consumption within the purview of trade liberalization and economic growth from1971 to2014 in Bangladesh, employing the Auto Regressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach. The study result depicts a negative impact of FDI on energy consumption in both the long and short run. Moreover, the study results persist robust to alternative measurements and estimators. Furthermore, a unidirectional causal relationship moving from energy consumption to foreign direct investment supports the institutional strength of the energy sector. Therefore, policymakers should undertake a pragmatic policy for the best utilization of FDI in the energy sector and reinforce local firms’ absorptive capability to internalize FDI-centric information spillover in energy conservation.
