In 1981, I published a paper in the first issue of theJournal of Neurosciencewith my postdoctoral mentor, Alan Pearlman. It reported a quantitative analysis of the receptive field properties of neurons inreelermouse visual cortex and the surprising conclusion that although the neuronal somas were strikingly malpositioned, their receptive fields were unchanged. This suggested that in mouse cortex at least, neuronal circuits have very robust systems in place to ensure the proper formation of connections. This had the unintended consequence of transforming me from an electrophysiologist into a cellular and molecular neuroscientist who studied cell adhesion molecules and the molecular mechanisms they use to regulate axon growth. It took me a surprisingly long time to appreciate that your science is driven by the people around you and by the technologies that are locally available. As a professional puzzler, I like all different kinds of puzzles, but the most fun puzzles involve playing with other puzzlers. This is my story of learning how to find like-minded puzzlers to solve riddles about axon growth and regeneration.

Published: January 2021

Due to the complex composition of the rubber compound, the optimization of the formulation for its preparation is a complex process. The experiments required to determine the optimal composition are a multi-step process that requires time and money. The purpose of this article is to use the method of mathematical modeling to determine the optimal composition of a rubber compound with the addition of industrial waste. Sulfur of the Tengiz deposit and metallurgical production slags were used as industrial waste. The Protodyakonov equation was used to derive the generalized equation and check its adequacy. The escaped equations were used to prepare the rubber compound. The process of vulcanization of the mixture with and without the addition of waste was carried out. The kinetics of vulcanization of the optimized mixture has been studied. The optimized composite provides higher minimum and maximum torque levels, shorter initiation times and optimal cure times compared to a blend without additive. Tensile tests have shown that the composition of the rubber compound, selected by the method of mathematical modeling, is not inferior to the standard formulation. The computational model for determining the optimal composition of the rubber compound can be used for research and applied purposes in various industries related to rubber.

Published: January 2021

Tuberculosis (TB) is still one of the major health problems in the community. Micronutrients, including iron, are crucial in the body's defense mechanism. Iron modulates the activation of IFN-γ, which in turn will activate the macrophages. This study explores the effect of iron supplementation given with anti-tuberculosis drug therapy on the IFN-γ level in tuberculosis spondylitis patients. This was a single-blind randomized control trial study at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung, from December 2018 to March 2019, using the consecutive sampling approach. Thirty-four respondents with category 1 TB spondylitis and an sTfR level of> 21.7 pg /µL were recruited and randomized into control and experimental groups. The control group (n=17) was treated with 2 RHZE for 2 months while the experimental group (n=17) received 2 RHZE and iron tablet for 2 months. An increase in the IFN-γ level of the experimental group was observed from an average of 21.7 pg/ml before therapy to an average of 72.39 pg/mL after therapy. Meanwhile, the IFN-γ level in the control group increases from an average of 22.5 pg/mL to an average of 35.35 pg/mL. This difference was statistically significant based on the analysis using the independent t-test (p-value <0.05). Therefore, the administration of anti-tuberculosis drugs with the addition of iron can increase the body's immune response, which is indicated by the increasing level of IFN-γ.

Published: January 2021

Exercise could delay the degeneration process by increasing Klotho, which is an endogen antioxidant. Klotho protects against oxidative damages, regulates hippocampal synaptic plasticity, and enhances GluN2B expression. This study aimed to analyze the effect of 14-day and 8-week moderate-intensity exercise on Klotho and GluN2B mRNA expressions in rat hippocampus. This study was an animal experimental study using Wistar rats that was performed from June to September 2019 at the Central Laboratory, Universitas Padjadjaran, Indonesia. Rats were divided into 4 groups: control (14-day control and 8-week control) and exercise group (14-day exercise and 8-week exercise). The exercise groups ran at a moderate intensity (20m/min) for 30min/day, 5x/week. Hippocampus was then subjected to klotho and GluN2B gene expression analysis. The exercise groups showed a higher Klotho expression, both in 14 days (0.844±0.124 vs. 1.057±0.013) and 8 weeks (0.897±0.072 vs. 1.380±0.168) although statistically insignificant (p=0.24). No difference in GluN2B gene expression was observed between control and exercise groups on 14 days (1±0.09 vs. 1.22±0.09) and 8 weeks (1.24±0.03 vs. 1.38±0.05; p=0.11). In conclusion, 14-day and 8-week moderate-intensity exercise did not alter Klotho and GluN2B expressions in rat hippocampus.

Published: January 2021

Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest multidrug-resistant tuberculosis cases in the world. Rapid molecular test using the Xpert MTB/RIF assay is one of the detection methods for MDR-TB. Early detection of MDR-TB is crucial for early initiation of treatment. However, Xpert MTB/RIF assay only detects the rpoB gene mutations associated with Rifampicin resistance. Recently, WHO recommends the use of Pyrosequencing, a DNA sequencing method that can detect not only the rpoB gene but also katG and/or inhA gene mutations associated with Isoniazid resistance. The aims of this study were to compare the interpretation between the two methods and to determine the differences in codon mutation position detection of the rpoB gene and mutation detection of the katG and/or inhA gene. This was a cross-sectional comparative observational study on patients ≥18 years old interpreted as RR-TB patients based on Xpert MTB/RIF assay results who had not received MDR-TB drugs at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia. Results showed there were 40 Rifampicin-resistant TB subjects interpreted by Xpert MTB/RIF assay while Pyrosequencing interpreted 30 MDR-TB, 9 RR-TB and one Isoniazid-resistant TB subjects in January - February 2020. The detection of rpoB gene codon mutation position between Xpert MTB/RIF assay and Pyrosequencing methods was not significantly different (p=0.389). Pyrosequencing had detected 27 katG gene mutations, 3 inhA gene mutations, one katG and inhA gene mutation. To conclude, Pyrosequencing can be used for accurate detection of Rifampicin and Isoniazid resistance in MDR-TB.

ccurate personal identification is important in investigations because an error in the identification process may bring fatal consequences during trial. The most common identification process is the Deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA] analysis. Degraded DNA sample due to extremely high-temperature exposure may limit DNA analysis. This study aimed to analyze DNA damage patterns caused by an extremely high temperature using STR (short tandem repeat) CODIS marker. This study was conducted at the Forensic and Medicolegal Department, Laboratorium Balai Besar Kesehatan Surabaya, Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, Human Genetic Study Group of Universitas Airlangga, and Faculty of Science and Technology of Universitas Brawijaya Malang from July until October 2009. Results of PCR visualization using STR CODIS for costae demonstrated that the THO1 detection (+) in 1,2500C - 40’: 25% and the TPOX detection (+) in 1,0000C - 30’: 50% whereas the results from molar teeth showed that the THOI locus detection (+) in 1,2500C - 30’: 25% and TPOX in 1,0000C - 40’: 50%. Results for PCR visualization using mini-STR CODIS for the costae presented that the mini-THOI in 1,2500C - 20’: 50% (+) while for the molar tooth the mini-THOI in 1,2500C - 30’ : 25% (+) and mini-TPOX in 1,0000C - 40’ : 50% (+). All loci were detected on costae and second molar teeth samples of the control group. Thus, extreme high-temperature exposure significantly decreased the DNA level of second costae and second molar tooth. Sequence patterns of STR loci successfully detected were TPOX, THO1, and CSF1PO.

Published: January 2021

The fast development of the diagnostic, therapeutic and pharmaceutical medical technologies is a prerequisite for availability of highly educated medical specialists. The necessity of medical specialists all over the world increases, but in our country the situation is a crisis. The National Health Strategy 2014-2020, ascertains the insufficiency of nurses and outlined several strategic objectives to overcome the problem.
Studying the mechanisms of motivation valid for the profession of a nurse is of particular significance for increasing the interest of its practicing. To be a health-care professional in Bulgaria is a bold endeavour, at which less and less of our compatriots are able to stand. The nurses are an important and valuable resource of our health-care system. Studying the professional orientation and motivation of the future nurses is important not only from the point of view of the choice of the career of nurse, but also from the point of view of the adequate choice of a starting point in one’s career (Georgieva A.&Nuri N., 2013).

According to the classification of chronic pain syndromes proposed by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) and due to the high clinical significance, chronic pelvic pain (CPP) represents an independent nosological structure and is defined as pain in the pelvic region (in the lower abdomen and the lower back), mainly between the navel and the pubic symphysis, which lasts for at least six months and disrupts the normal functioning of the body. Myofascial pelvic pain syndrome (MPPS) in English literature is included in the subgroup of etiology of CPP. Myofascial pelvic pain syndrome itself is not a direct threat to life and health and does not require urgent help. But today it is almost not diagnosed and is not considered as a source of chronic pain and dysfunction in the pelvic region. Such patients, unfortunately, are left without appropriate treatment and cannot get rid of the oppressive pain. They often receive unnecessary treatment, including surgical interventions. This problem causes neurosis, depression, sexual dysfunction and, as a result, leads to the deterioration in the quality of life. CPP can often have multiple causes and should be evaluated in terms of the pathology of various physiological systems, including reproductive, urogenital, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal and nervous system. Based on a full picture of the multifactorial nature of CPP, the treatment of this category of patients requires an integrated approach involving specialists in various fields. Particular attention in the differential diagnosis of chronic pelvic pain in women should be paid to abdominal myofascial pain syndrome, the role of which is currently underestimated. Therefore, doctors should be aware of the main directions of diagnosis and treatment of CPP due to myofascial pain syndrome. Keywords: chronic pelvic pain, myofascial syndrome, nidling, post-isometric relaxation of muscles, relising.

Published: January 2021

The reproductive system is exposed to various adverse factors and harmful effects at all stages of the functioning of the body. Against the background of a decrease in the level of reproductive female health in recent years, there is a clear tendency towards an increase in the number of patients with pathology of the puberty period. The low level of somatic and reproductive health before pregnancy causes a high frequency of complicated births, which leads to a deterioration in the development of subsequent generations. The objective: based on clinical and anamnestic data, laboratory and instrumental methods of research, analysis of risk factors, clinical presentation, treatment effectiveness and clinical observation, to give a clinical description of women who had menstrual dysfunction in the pubertal period. Materials and methods. According to the nature of the violations, the main group of women (n=210) who had a pathology of menstrual function in the puberty period was divided into 3 subgroups (n=70): the first – women with primary oligomenorrhea and timely average population menarche, the second – with a late age menarche, the third – with puberty bleeding. The control group included women (n=70) with the correct rhythm of menstruation in puberty. Results. During a clinical prospective study, the social status of women with impaired reproductive function in the puberty was analyzed, the frequency and structure of existing concomitant somatic diseases, the duration of the menstrual cycle, the nature of diseases of the female genital organs; an assessment of the complex treatment of the revealed violations was made, which allowed to obtain a favorable reproductive prognosis. Most of the women examined (53.3%) planned a pregnancy, which occurred in 75.9% of those planning. Conclusion. A study of the clinical and anamnestic analysis of the reproductive function of women with menstrual irregularities in the puberty period will increase the effectiveness of the treatment of identified disorders and develop algorithms for the management of such women during planning and during pregnancy.

Authors: Wang Xu
Published: January 2021

The article discusses the features of tourism management in the People's Republic of China (PRC). An important characteristic feature of management in tourism is its complexity. It is a multi-level system of interactions between participants and a variety of management objects. Business entities operate in markets of different sizes, which can lead to a conflict of interests. Thus, it is necessary to use different management tools depending on the size, goals and interests of the participants in the travel industry. At the present stage, the main trends in the development of the tourism industry are: a permanent increase in the risks of transactions between tour operators and customers, globalization processes that penetrate the industry, as well as the integration of the activities of the tourism industry entities with a simultaneous aggravation of competition for the consumer. The need to develop tourism in China was caused by the need of the state to replenish the treasury with foreign currency. At the first stage, the priority was the development of inbound tourism. At the present stage, the main attention is paid to the development of domestic tourism. In accordance with the Tourism Development Plan by 2020, the volume of expenses of individuals on domestic tourist trips within the PRC amounted to 5.5 trillion Yuan. The PRC government is actively pursuing a policy of developing the tourism sector. China's policy of reform and opening up over the past 40 years has created favorable conditions for the development of tourism.

While much of the games research field for the last two decades has focused on digital games, this article draws attention to the benefits of combining analogue and digital game components to cater for a serious but fun game experience. In this case, the game design provides a set of game rules for players, where the goal is to win by finding another player’s hidden treasure. But, the game also includes deceptive characters, initially unknown to the players, whose goal is to lure the players to reveal information, which will make a player lose the game. Hence, the players and the unknown characters are involved in opposite but intertwined activities. To describe the differing activities we use the activity system model found in Activity Theory. The theoretical conceptualisation, the game design and the play situation create what we term a zone of experience where young players can experience the consequences of sharing too much information. The game design mimics real world online interactions, but under safe off-line conditions. The zone of experience also creates the foundation for an ensuing activity that fits well within the concept of the zone of proximal development: A follow-up conversation under adult guidance of game experiences aimed at raising children’s online risk awareness.
Winning Over the Players: Investigating the Motivations to Play and Acceptance of Serious Games
Authors: Jacobs Ruud S.
Published: January 2021

Serious games are designed to educate, train, or persuade their players on specific topics and issues. While a lot of studies have sought to prove the effects of these games, the overall image and legitimization of serious games has not benefited fully from these efforts. Indicating that the issue stems from the difference between the captive audience exposed to games in effects studies and the contexts in which people come to play serious games in everyday life, the current article sketches out the research that needs to be performed before this gap can be filled. Three theoretical perspectives are offered, in turn looking at serious games as forms of (promotional) communication, personal media experiences, and technological innovations. This analysis results in insights relating to (among others), how the identity of serious games might hinder their diffusion, how expected gratifications could fail to match the intentions of these games, and what could cause someone to ‘adopt’ a serious game. Based on the insights gained by applying these lenses, potential factors are listed and linked to methodologies that could prove or disprove their importance. These methodologies involve quantitative and qualitative investigations to create a deeper picture of how potential players approach serious games. The article concludes with open questions to investigators and industry professionals generated from this process.

Published: January 2021

O estudo a seguir buscou ressaltar alguns elementos que demonstram a relevância da arte nocontexto periférico. De cunho qualitativo, a pesquisa de seis meses em 2019 teve como eixo deanálise as percepções de jovens, com idade entre 13 e 15 anos, que estudam e residem naperiferia de Franco da Rocha (SP). Sob a perspectiva de que a arte possui caráter social e estádiretamente relacionada a movimentos de representação e intervenção política, buscou-severificar, através da realização de debates e análise de algumas obras, os processos deinterpretação e identificação desses adolescentes com a cultura que lhes é apresentada. Osresultados demonstram que há, no fluxo de produção e contato com a arte, suporte para seintermediar discussões referentes a cultura e relações sociais. Ademais, viu-se que aaproximação sociocultural e temática que há entre emissores e receptores das mensagensveiculadas nos campos da literatura marginal e da arte urbana facilita o diálogo entre as partes.
Clinical pharmacology of pyrroxane (proroxane)
Authors: Shabanov Petr D.
Published: January 2021

Review of literature and own studies on the pharmacology and clinical pharmacology of the domestic -adrenergic blocker pyrroxan (INN: proroxane). The drug was developed in the 1970s at the Institute of Toxicology of the USSR Ministry of Health (Leningrad). Expectations from -blockers created during this period (phenoxybenzamine, phentolamine, tropafen, fepracet, dihydrogenated ergot alkaloids) were high, especially in terms of the treatment of hypertensive and ischemic conditions, however, only few drugs from this group were used in clinical practice for these purposes (prazosin, doxazosin and some others). For pyrroxan, this direction was not the main one, and it was positioned as a means of treating diencephalic disorders like vegetative crises, where the drug immediately gained popularity, and this direction of use was clearly fixed to it. In the same period, the anti-alcohol and anti-drug action of -adrenergic blockers was found, since both in the experiment and in the clinic they demonstrated the suppression of alcohol (drug) motivation and a decrease in alcohol and drug consumption. Thelatter served as an impetus to the use of pyrroxane mainly in psychiatry, narcology and, to a lesser extent, in neurology, and recently the drug has been positioned almost exclusively for use in these areas of medicine. Thearticle analyzes the current clinical use of pyrroxane.
Gases as ingredients of medicines
Authors: Urakov Aleksandr L.
Published: January 2021

The literature review shows that today all over the world reference books on medicines, state Pharmacopoeia, textbooks on pharmacology and pharmacy, as well as scientific articles published in pharmaceutical and pharmacological scientific journals, contain information about medicines without taking into account the presence of gases in them. The effect of each drug is historically considered on the example of the action of its main ingredient without taking into account the action of other ingredients, namely, auxiliary, formative agents and means that change the color, taste and smell of drugs. At the same time, the biological activity of the main ingredients is traditionally considered as the activity of highly purified chemical reagents with the brand pure for analysis. The results of a review of scientific and patent literature have shown that in natural conditions, due to high atmospheric air pressure, air gases are always present in all substances, including liquid and solid drugs, as well as human and animal body tissues. Usually, air gases remain invisible to the naked eye. It was found that the composition and quantity of gases in medicines affect their mechanical, physical, chemical and physico-chemical properties, which give the drugs a non-specific activity when applied topically. Using the example of water, solutions and tablets, it is shown how the content of gases in them changes under vacuum, low, normal and high atmospheric pressure, and how this changes their physical and chemical properties. It is shown that the regulation of the content of gases in water, solutions and tablets of medicines allows to regulate their mass, volume, specific gravity, porosity and non-specific physical and chemical activity of medicines when applied topically. It is shown that air and individual gases have biological activity, so they can determine the mechanism of action of drugs. Recipes of new medicines in which gas is an auxiliary, formative or main ingredient are given. Itis proposed to include gases in the formulation of medicines, as well as to control the gas composition ofmedicines as an indicator of their quality and a factor of their physical and chemical activity, which can determine the type of medicines local action.

This study aims to survey the state of psychological health, specifically the psychological difficulties of 231 junior high school and high school students in Ho Chi Minh City (111 high school pupils & 120 junior high school pupils) through a self-report survey on those areas: (1) Study; (2) Psychophysiological development; (3) Communication with friends; (4) Communication with parents; (5) Communication with teachers. 111 high schoolersalso completed one more area, which is vocational orientation. Research results showed that junior high schoolersface the most difficulties in the field of study, high school students have the most difficulties in the field of study, vocational orientation and psychological development. The level of psychological difficulty in pupils are different in terms of grade level, gender, education, family's economic situation, and mother's educational level. The study also showed that junior and high school students often choose to solve their psychological difficulties by sharing with friends, confiding with their parents, relatives and participating in collective activities. About half of the students were satisfied with the schoolpsychological support givento them. Most teachers believed that students should be assisted by psychologists, not teachers and school facilities regarding this problem.
