Published: June 2024

We represent a rare clinical case of infectious mononucleosis with hepatitis, caused by Epstein-Barr virus, complicated by rare secondary autoimmune hemolytic anemia associated with warm agglutinins in a 16-year-old patient. The disease was long-lasting, with a two-wave course of febrile fever. Signs of hepatitis with the development of anemia of moderate severity appeared during the second wave of febrile fever. The etiology of the disease was confirmed by the detection of Epstein-Barr virus DNA in blood and the detection of anti-VCA IgM antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus in the absence of anti-EBNA IgG antibodies. Hemolytic anemia was verified using markers of hemolysis (increased lactate dehydrogenase activity, decreased haptoglobin concentration), and positive results of a direct Coombs test. After successful initiation of prednisone therapy and clinical improvement, the patient was discharged from the hospital on the 24th day of disease to continue treatment on an outpatient basis (prednisone was replaced by methylprednisolone).

This case demonstrates the development of a rare autoimmune complication in infectious mononucleosis caused by the Epstein-Barr virus.

Background/Aim. To date, most of the scientific attention has been aimed at the morphometric analysis of the nephrogenic zone (NZ) of the fetal renal cortex, while the quantification and analysis of the maturation zone (MZ) and other indicators of renal maturity were missing. The aim of the study was to examine the characteristics of fetal kidney cortex maturation, as well as to propose the development of a new cortical maturity index (CMI). Methods. The study included 42 paraffin molds of the fetal kidney, divided into three groups according to gestational age (GA). After hematoxylin and eosin staining, tissue sections were analyzed through the following parameters: the thickness of the NZ and MZ, the renal corpuscles area (RCa) and the glomerular capillary tuft area (GCTa), and the maturation stages of the glomeruli. In addition, a new parameter, CMI, was formed as a ratio of NZ and MZ thickness. The collected data were statistically processed. Results. Changes in NZ and MZ thickness were statistically significant, and they correlated with GA. A value of CMI higher than 0.2 was recorded in the kidney samples of fetuses younger than the 20th gestational week (GW), while a value lower than 0.1 was recorded in the samples older than the 30th GW. With an increase in GA in all zones of the renal cortex, RCa and GCTa decreased. A statistically significant reduction of GCTa was observed in the oldest group in the juxtamedullary and intermediate zones of the cortex (p < 0.01). Glomeruli located in the deeper parts of the cortex were more mature than the superficial ones. Conclusion. The measured parameters can serve as a starting point for future studies that would analyze the histomorphological characteristics of the fetal kidney cortex. In the absence of clinical data, a newly formed parameter CMI can represent assistance with the determination of GA, as it significantly correlates with GA (p < 0.01).

Published: June 2024

Background. Pulmonary edema is a common complication in critically ill patients. The liberal tactics of fluid therapy and pathological accumulation of extravascular lung water increase the risks of mortality in Intensive Care Unit patients. Timely and non-invasive diagnosis of pulmonary edema is a primary goal in the intensive care of patients in the Critical Care Unit. We prefer to use lung ultrasound with the registration of B-lines to diagnose lung edema. However, in our country, this method is not validated due to the lack of a sufficient number of clinical studies and necessary regulatory framework.

Objective. To assess the potential of diagnostic ultrasonography for pulmonary edema in critically ill patients.

Material and methods. A retrospective study was conducted on 27 patients, including 15 males and 12 females aged from 43 to 67 years old (mean age 45.05±17.2 years). All patients were in critical condition due either to acute liver failure, or acute-on-chronic liver failure, or early post-transplant liver graft failure, or posthepatectomy liver failure. Some patients had a systemic inflammatory response syndrome with the development of multiple organ failure and clinical signs of redistribution shock. All patients underwent ultrasound examination of the lungs, and had hemodynamic parameters measured using the transpulmonary thermodilution technique. The data obtained by the two diagnostic modalities were compared.

Results. A significant correlation (p<0.05) was found between the extravascular lung water index and the presence of lung edema. We identified a significant correlation (p<0.05) between the number of B-lines and the presence of pulmonary edema. In assessing the relationship between the "B-line" parameter and the "EVLWI" parameter, a strong positive correlation was identified. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.9±0.06 with a 95% CI [0.77–1.00].

Conclusions. Ultrasound data in diagnosing pulmonary edema have a significant correlation with the level of extravascular pulmonary water. Lung ultrasound is an accurate, non-invasive method for assessing extravascular lung water. It can be used for the rapid and accurate diagnosis of pulmonary edema.

Background. Simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation is a gold standard in the treatment of diabetes mellitus complicated by stage 5 chronic kidney disease as a result of diabetic nephropathy. One of the main problems of clinical pancreas transplantation is the pancreas graft exocrine drainage. In order to preserve the advantages of the retroperitoneal graft location and avoid the main disadvantage of duodenal drainage, namely, fatal complications potentially arising in case of necessary graft removal, we have proposed a modified method of retroperitoneal pancreatic transplantation with exocrine drainage via a modified Roux-en-Y duodenojejunostomy. It reduces the number of severe surgical complications and increases the recipient survival rate. When this method was used in previous years, it was not possible to assess the condition of donor duodenum mucosa and interintestinal anastomoses.

Objective. To demonstrate the possibility of endoscopic assessment of interintestinal anastomoses when performing retroperitoneal pancreas transplantation with small intestine drainage of exocrine secretions.

Results. The article presents the initial experience of endoscopic assessment of the interintestinal anastomoses and the mucous membrane of the donor duodenum after retroperitoneal pancreas transplantation with exocrine drainage via a Roux-en-Y duodenojejunostomy.

Conclusion. The presented case demonstrates the feasibility of diagnostic endoscopic interventions when performing retroperitoneal pancreas transplantation with small intestine drainage of pancreatic secretions.

Published: June 2024

Background. Liver transplantation is currently the most effective method to treat diseases with end-stage liver failure. Complications are most often associated with the initially severe patient condition, imperfect organ preservation methods, the surgical management per se, and immune system incompetence. The most common complications of transplantation include ischemic reperfusion injury, which occurs to some or another extent in each transplanted organ and worsens the course of the postoperative period. The process is based on complex pathophysiological mechanisms of cell damage due to ischemia and inflammation caused by reperfusion.

Objective. To summarize current data on the mechanisms of the ischemic reperfusion injury development in liver transplantation and to find the ways to reduce adverse effects.

Material and methods. The analysis of data from foreign and homeland experimental and clinical studies on the pathogenesis of ischemic reperfusion injury in liver transplantation has been performed. The search for literature data was carried out in international databases (PubMed/MedLine, ResearchGate, as well as in the scientific electronic library of Russia (eLibrary.RU) for the period from 2020-2024.

Conclusion. The analyzed publications have provided various algorithms for the preservation of donor organs, including those using machine perfusion.

Authors: Shadikah Arina Afiyati
Published: June 2024

Religious tourism has now become one of the favorite destinations for tourists. However, there are still many temples that are not widely known by tourists. Even though many temples, such as Sari Temple, have a certain charm, such as the shape of the temple which is like a house complete with doors and windows. However, there is still minimal information regarding the history and meaning of the temple reliefs. This research was carried out at the Sari temple which is located in Uang Istimewa Yogyakarta. This research aims to analyze the Buddhist values at Sari Temple based on the history of this temple. This research uses a qualitative research design where the research object is Sari Temple itself. There are three techniques used to collect data, namely interviews, literature study, and documentation. The data collected was then analyzed qualitatively through four stages, namely data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and verification or drawing conclusions. The results of the research show that there are three Buddhist values that can be found based on the history of Sari temple, namely samma sankappa (right thoughts) , samma kamanta (right action) and samma vaca (right speech). Each of these Buddhist values has moral values in it.

Exercise hormone irisin, a thermogenic adipo-myokine, promotes energy expenditure by white adipose tissue browning. Considering that irisin improves the white adipose tissue metabolic profile and increases whole-body energy expenditure, it is thought that irisin may be a potential new therapeutic target for the treatment of the growing epidemic of obesity. The roles of mast cells and angiogenesis in the pathogenesis of obesity are known, and the importance of loss of mast cell function and antiangiogenic agents in the treatment of obesity has gained prominence in recent years. In addition, the therapeutic efficacy of oxytocin for obesity, by inducing browning and stimulating thermogenesis, is also noteworthy. To understand better the mechanisms involved in the therapeutic effect of irisin on obesity, the present study evaluated the effects of irisin treatment on high-fat diet-induced, obese female rats, focusing on the number of ovary mast cells, and ovarian angiogenesis and serum oxytocin levels. Our findings showed that ovary mast cell numbers, corpus luteum angiogenesis, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) immunoreactivity in ovarian tissues increased with obesity and then significantly decreased with irisin administration. Also, it was determined that the increased serum oxytocin levels with obesity, increased markedly depending on irisin administration in obese female rats. Taken together, our findings revealed that irisin can well be considered as a potential therapeutic agent in the treatment of obesity by reducing mast cells and angiogenesis, and promoting oxytocin secretion.

This study aimed to determine the impact of relocation as a potential stress factor on the reproductive properties of breeding boars, as well as the impact of the new environment on the quantity and quality of the semen obtained during different seasons. At the beginning of spring, 16 breeding boars (Large White (n=3), German Landrace (n=4), Swedish Landrace (n=6) and Pietrain (n=3)) were relocated from old to new housing conditions and exposed to loading, transport, unloading, and rehousing in a new environment. They had the same conditions of feeding, care, sexual exploitation and keeping, before and after relocation. The health status of all breeding boars was carefully monitored and controlled. No significant differences were observed in the total and average number of doses produced between seasons. There was a significantly higher value of total ejaculate volume and density during the spring compared to the values obtained in other seasons (P<0.01). Differences in the average percentage of mobility between autumn and winter were not significant (P=0.983), as in spring and summer (P=0.737). Ventilation rate, gas concentrations of ammonia, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide in the boar enclosure were similar before and after relocation. Two days after relocation, one boar (ID 172) showed signs of illness and was treated, but his sperm was rejected due to sperm agglutination and reduced motility, so he was culled. Individual analysis of the production indicators showed that there was no significant change in the spermatogenesis of healthy boars, even though they were relocated.

Povezanost emocionalne kompetencije i strategija suočavanja sa stresom kod sportaša
Authors: Šimunović Gašpar Marinka , Babić Janko
Published: June 2024

Cilj rada bio je utvrditi postoji li povezanost strategija suočavanja sa stresom i razine emocionalne kompetencije kod profesionalnih i kod amaterskih sportaša.Istraživanje je provedeno na 135 sportaša profesionalaca i amatera, dobi od 18 do 22 godine. Primijenjeni su mjerni instrumenti UEK-45 (Upitnik emocionalne kompetencije), koji sadržava podljestvice Uočavanje i razumijevanje emocija, Imenovanje i izražavanje emocija te Upravljanje emocijama, te CISS (Upitnik strategija suočavanja sa stresom), koji sadržava podljestvice Suočavanje usmjereno na emocije, Suočavanje usmjereno na problem i Izbjegavanje.Dobivena je prosječna razina emocionalne kompetencije na cijelom uzorku, pri čemu su ispitanici najviši rezultat iskazali na dimenziji Imenovanje i izražavanje emocija. Kad je riječ o strategijama suočavanja sa stresom, ispitanici su iskazali najviši rezultat na dimenziji Suočavanje usmjereno na problem. Ukupan rezultat emocionalne kompetencije statistički je značajno pozitivno povezan s primjenom strategija usmjerenih na problem, dok nema povezanosti između ukupne razine emocionalne kompetencije i ostalih strategija (usmjerenost na emocije i izbjegavanje). Također, svaki pojedini oblik emocionalne kompetencije također je statistički značajno povezan samo sa strategijama usmjerenima na problem, ali ne i s ostalim strategijama.Sportaši koji su emocionalno kompetentniji češće primjenjuju strategije suočavanja sa stresom usmjerene na problem, ali ne i na emocije. Iako bi taj odnos trebalo dodatno istražiti, može se pretpostaviti da osobe su koje u stresnim situacijama, u ovom slučaju u sportskom okruženju, bolje i efikasnije razumiju i kontroliraju vlastite emocije spremnije izravno se suočiti s problemom jer ih vlastito emocionalno stanje toliko ne opterećuje.

Festival visual art in ancient China, before 1912 (the end year of the last feudal dynasty), conveys rich culture connotations and aethetics attitude of the ancients. However, few historical reviews on this theme are conducted currently. Based on the qualitative analysis from extensive literature, this paper provides a through understanding of it from three parts. The first part analyzes the origins of the festival art, which is summarized as natural rhythm, religion and myth, and ancestor worship. The second part discusses appropriate viewing times for festival art, in which artworks of twelve-a-set and festival patches in the late feudal dynasty are focused. In the third part, visual arts of four festivals including the New Year, the Lantern Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Qixi Festival are selected as representatives to catch a glimpse of the general characteristics of Chinese festival visual art. Overall, this paper provides a systematic understanding and a new perspective of festival visual art in ancient China for further research.

Published: June 2024

Globalization and economic integration have an impact on increasing trade volume and economic growth in various countries, especially those that are open in their economies. This situation also provides ease of capital mobility between countries, which makes investment not only rely on domestic investment but also on foreign direct investment. Exchange rates and inflation also affect export growth, imports, and economic growth. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of exchange rate, inflation, foreign direct investment, government expenditure, and economic openness on export and import growth.  This study used time series data during the period 1980–2021, sourced from UNCTAD, ASYB, and Indonesian Central Bank (BI). The analysis model used is multiple linear regression with the help of EViews software, which first tests classical assumptions so that the regression results are Best Linier Unbiased Estimator (BLUE). The results show that foreign direct investment and government spending can significantly increase the rate of exports and imports. Meanwhile, the depreciating rupiah against the US dollar cannot encourage an increase in both exports and imports. Furthermore, foreign direct investment, government spending, and economic openness can significantly increase economic growth. The other variables, net exports and inflation, have no effect on Indonesia’s economic growth rate.

The role of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) in cardiovascular health has undergone a paradigm shift in recent years, evolving from a passive reservoir into a dynamic contributor to cardiovascular risk. This case critically examines the multifaceted functions of EAT, explores its implications for cardiovascular risk, and discusses the potential benefits of the GLP-1 receptor agonist Liraglutide in mitigating its effects.

Case presentation

We present the case of a 62-year-old male patient who is obese, hypertensive, and has a history of chronic coronary syndrome. He was admitted to the emergency room with complaints of palpitations and shortness of breath. The 12-lead ECG revealed atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response and evidence of a new-onset left bundle branch block. The transthoracic echocardiogram showed heart-rate-dependent regional dyskinesias, while both echocardiographic and computed tomographic scan findings indicated the presence of thick EAT. A coronary angiogram showed intrastent restenosis in the left anterior descending artery, which was treated with percutaneous revascularization. To address residual cardiovascular risk, the patient was initiated on Liraglutide during hospitalization. The follow-up revealed reduced low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels, along with a decrease in EAT thickness and BMI, accompanied by improved echocardiographic parameters.

Discussion

Targeted interventions aimed at reducing EAT are imperative given its active role in cardiovascular risk. GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as Liraglutide, hold promise in mitigating the effects of EAT and represent a potential avenue for therapeutic exploration in addressing residual cardiovascular risk.

This study conducts a bibliometric analysis to explore the relationship between consumer emotions and purchase preferences within a Virtual Reality (VR) environment. Utilizing data from the Web of Science and Scopus databases, the research employs a structured literature review (SLR) approach to identify and analyze relevant academic literature. Custom queries were used to extract data on specific keywords, titles, and abstracts, which were then processed using VOSviewer software to generate bibliometric maps. The findings highlight significant but fragmented coverage of the intersection between VR and consumer emotions, underscoring a gap in integrated studies within this domain. The study identifies distinct research clusters in VR applications, including user experience and cognitive load, and emphasizes the need for further interdisciplinary research to enhance understanding and practical application of VR in influencing consumer behavior and emotions. This analysis provides valuable insights for academics and practitioners aiming to leverage VR for improved consumer engagement and decision-making.

In recent years, the use of low-energy electrons in various ecological and biotechnological applications has become increasingly relevant. One important application is the treatment of wastewater, wherein highly reactive species produced by water irradiation are used to oxidize pollutants. Low-energy electron irradiation has several advantages, such as minimal demands on radiation protection and electron beam (EB) source dimensions. However, to play into the main advantages of this technology and keep it economically viable, it is necessary to keep the absorbed dose as low as possible. This calls for a liquid dosimeter with sensitivity in the single digit kGy range. An extract from natural Hibiscus sabdariffa (Roselle) has been reported to show a radiochromic effect in this dose range. In the present work, Roselle dosimeter solutions were closely investigated and optimized to characterize a new module for EB wastewater treatment. Upon EB irradiation, the dosimeter solution demonstrated a dose-dependent fading in color, making it useful in the 0.3–7.5 kGy dose range.
