Algorithm of combining chromatography mass spectrometry-untargeted profiling and multivariate analysis for identification of marker-substances in samples of complex composition
Authors: Plyushchenko I. V. , Shakhmatov D. G. , Rodin I. A.
Published: July 2020

A viral development of statistical data processing, computing capabilities, chromatography-mass spectrometry, and omics technologies (technologies based on the achievements of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) in recent decades has not led to formation of a unified protocol for untargeted profiling. Systematic errors reduce the reproducibility and reliability of the obtained results, and at the same time hinder consolidation and analysis of data gained in large-scale multi-day experiments. We propose an algorithm for conducting omics profiling to identify potential markers in the samples of complex composition and present the case study of urine samples obtained from different clinical groups of patients. Profiling was carried out by the method of liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. The markers were selected using methods of multivariate analysis including machine learning and feature selection. Testing of the approach was performed using an independent dataset by clustering and projection on principal components.

Thickness is one of the key indicators characterizing the quality and functional properties of coatings. Various indirect methods (electromagnetic, radiation, optical) most often used in practice to measure thickness are based on the functional dependence of a particular physical parameter of the system «base – coating» on the coating thickness. The sensitivity of these procedures to the certain properties of coatings imposes the main restriction to the accuracy of measurements. Therefore, the development and implementation of the approaches based on direct measurements of geometric parameters of the coating appears expedient. These methods often belong to the class of «destructive» and, in addition to measuring instruments, require the use of special equipment. To ensure the uniformity of measurements in the laboratory or technological control, these methods are isolated as a separate procedure (method) and must undergo metrological certification in accordance with GOST R 8.563–2009. We present implementation, metrological certification and practical application of the method for measuring thickness of coatings by crater-grinding method. The principles of technical implementation of test equipment, measurement procedure and calculation formulas are described. The results of evaluating the accuracy indicators of the proposed procedure by calculation and experimental methods are presented. In both cases, the relative error did not exceed 6%. The applicability of the developed technique is shown for a wide range of coating materials (from soft metals to superhard ceramics) of different thickness (with from units to hundreds of micrometers). Apart from the goals of process control and outgoing inspection, the method can be recommended as a reference measurement procedure for calibration of measures and adjusting samples for various types of thickness gauges.
Single sample method for assessing the Baushinger effect
Authors: Khvan A. D. , Khvan D. V. , Voropaev A. A.
Published: July 2020

The Bauschinger effect is one of the fundamental properties of most metal alloys exposed to plastic deformation under non-monotonic loading. Development of the methods for quantifying this effect is one the important issues of the theory of plasticity. Calculation of the parameter characterizing the aforementioned effect is required for determination of the stress state in plastically deformable blanks upon pressure metal treatment. The value of the parameter (determined in standard tensile tests followed by subsequent compression of samples) is defined by the ratio of the conditional yield strength of the sample under compression to the value of the preliminary tensile stress. A series of cylindrical samples (~10 pcs.) is usually taken for tensile-compression tests. According to the traditional procedure, long-size standard specimens are pre-stretched to various degrees of plastic deformation. After that short specimens are cut out from those specimens for compression tests to determine the conditional compressive yield strength with a tolerance of 0.2% for plastic deformation. Such a procedure is rather time consuming and expensive. We propose and develop a new single-model method for estimating the Bauschinger effect which consists in testing of a single long-size specimen for tension followed by compression of the specimen in a special device providing deformation of a previously stretched specimen without flexure under conditions of a linear stress state. The device was designed, manufactured and underwent the appropriate tests. The device contains supporting elements in the form of conical-shaped sectors that prevent flexure of a long cylindrical specimen upon compression, a ratio of the working part length to diameter ranges from 5 to 10. The results of experimental determination of the parameter β characterizing the indicated effect are presented. The results of comparing the values of the parameter β determined by the developed and traditional methods revealed the possibility of determining the parameter β using the proposed method. To reduce the complexity of performing tests related to determination of the parameter β we approximated it in the form of an exponent as a function of the magnitude of plastic deformation and determine the only one value of β0 under plastic deformations exceeding 0.05. In this regard, β0 can be considered a new characteristic of the material. The calculated data are in good agreement with the experimental results. The values of β0 are determined for a number of studied steel grades.

The goal of the study is analysis of the features of fatigue cyclic fracture of steels. An installation has been designed to induce fatigue cracks and to study the kinetics of fatigue crack development. Crack growth is recorded by the method of potential difference. The data on the crack growth kinetics were processed on a computer using LGraph2 programs and Excel spreadsheets. When studying the kinetics of the fatigue crack development, the electrodes were soldered to the edges of the initial notch of the sample and time dependence of the potential difference was recorded on a computer during crack growth. To interpret the experimental data, a calibration chart in the coordinates «potential difference (U) – the crack length (Lcr)» constructed on the basis of the millivoltmeter readings was used, with due regard for the size of the sample section, current flow and length of the fatigue crack. Cyclic loading of the sample resulted in a stepwise character of the crack growth: first occurred zone of plastic deformation of the metal is then followed by accumulation of stresses of a certain size, their relaxation in the form of a crack and sudden crack growth. An abrupt crack growth is clearly visible on a graph of the fatigue crack growth rate obtained upon computer processing of experimental data. Using a graphical editor KOMPAS, a graph was constructed which characterized the growth of the fatigue crack against the number of cycles of fatigue tests for bending. The experimental setup provides the possibility of fatigue crack formation for impact tests, determination of the work of crack propagation, as well as studying of the kinetics of crack development and computer processing of experimental data.

The significance of the problem of determining the concentration of beryllium in solutions is substantiated. A method of APESI mass-spectrometry (atmospheric pressure electrospray ionization with in-source atomization) is compared with a number of other common procedures used for solving the aforementioned problem and a number of advantages of APESI mass spectrometry are highlighted. The possibility of measuring the beryllium concentration in various chemical forms using APESI mass-spectrometry is studied. We used sulfate, nitric acid and chloride salts of beryllium. The measurements were carried out on a specialized small-sized mass spectrometer MI-20 «LowMass» developed at MS-Bio Company, Russia. A schematic diagram of the device designed to determine the concentration of beryllium in solutions is presented and described. A technique of solution preparation and measurement procedure are proposed. Presented ass spectra obtained on the samples containing beryllium and lithium isotopes were used as an internal standard. It is shown that beryllium can be detected from the salts of chloride and nitric acids with close relative sensitivity coefficients. The obtained detection limit for beryllium chloride in those measurements was ~1 – 2 × 10–8 M. At the same time, the analytical signal of beryllium cannot be detected during electrospray of the solution of beryllium sulfate under any experimental conditions. It has been suggested that this effect may be attributed to the features of dissolution of beryllium sulfate, in particular, to hydrolysis and formation of complex compounds with sulfate, including complex polymer and colloidal forms.

The first cases of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) were reported in 1981 in patients with a high decline in immune response. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection can manifest itself through various signs and symptoms. The oral cavity is an extremely important way for diagnosis and prognosis, because oral lesions may present as clinical signs of disease progression or ineffective antiretroviral treatment. The objective of this study was to evaluate, diagnose and intervene in the oral lesions present in a patient with HIV infection. A case report study was conducted on a patient treated at the Dr. Antônio Comte Telles Polyclinic (Specialized Assistance Service for HIV / AIDS) in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. Lesions found in the patient were Leukemia, Smoker's Melanosis and Oral Candidiasis, the latter being treated with tongue hygiene and application of VegelipR associated with laser therapy. It was observed that the treatment was effective and in five sessions there was improvement in the lesion. Oral manifestations are closely related to the HIV virus, since they may be associated with infection and / or disease progression, indicating deficiency in the immune system, as well as interruption of antiretroviral treatment. Candidiasis is an opportunistic infection that, if properly diagnosed and treated, contributes to the improvement of the immune system. It is concluded that the knowledge of the dentist regarding the pathologies and their manifestations is important, as well as a multidisciplinary work in the reference centers for HIV.  Keywords: HIV, AIDS, Oral Injury, Dentistry.

This study was carried out to compare the digital rectal (DR) thermometer with non-contact infrared thermometer (IRT) measurements at two locations on the face in some large animal species. Two hundred and forty (240) animals comprising of equal numbers of three species (cattle, camel and horses) of varying age and either sex was used. The IR temperature was taken from two sites [frontal (FIRT) and temporal (TIRT) region] on the animal face. The mean IR temperatures (FIRT and TIRT) were higher than the RT in all the animal species. The two thermometers correlate poorly in all the animal species. Bland-Altman analysis showed high biases and limits of agreement not acceptable for clinical purposes. In conclusion, IRT seems to offer a quick and easy way to determine the animal temperature but clinically it cannot be used interchangeably with DR thermometer at the moment for body temperature measurement in these animal species.
Untested natural medicines are big threats to health in China and Africa
Authors: Zhang Minghui
Published: July 2020

In mainland China and Africa, when natural medicines apply for licenses, they do not need to pass the same rigorous toxicity and efficacy tests as those of synthetic medicines. The lack of regulation of untested natural medicines by drug administration departments is a big threat to global health. Studies have shown natural medicines severely threaten the health of human beings although they seem harmless. Over 100 million of the Chinese are suffering from diseases caused by natural medicines. These medicines include aristolochic acid (AA)-containing plants (a worldwide problem) and natural medicine injections (only in mainland China). Clear evidence shows the widespread toxicity of AA-containing plants and natural medicine rejections while not a single rigorous test suggests the efficacy of them. One recent example is that plant soups were widely used to treat patients in mainland China during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. An ingredient of these plant soups is Xixin, which contains AA.
Underestimation of hepatocellular carcinoma incidence resulting from a competition between modern and traditional medicine: the case of Gabon

Published: July 2020

Primary liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), remains a major killer in sub-Saharan Africa. In this dreadful landscape, West and Central Africas are more particularly affected. However, a small country located on the equator, Gabon, is apparently not concerned by this adverse situation. Despite worrying prevalences of many bona fide risk factors of HCC, including high rates of chronic infections with hepatitis viruses and very high alcohol consumption, Gabon presents theoretically an amazingly low incidence of HCC when compared to other countries of the region. Reports from many places in the world have emphasized the widespread underreporting of HCC cases presumably attributable to the difficulties of proper diagnosis or to a lack of local cancer registry. In Gabon, the remarkably vivid tradition of religious initiation called Bwiti includes some therapeutic rituals exerted by healers or Ngangas. Those treatments are particularly popular in case of severe diseases generally associated with a supernatural etiology. In the present paper, we hypothesize that, in Gabon, the remarkably low incidence of HCC is primarily due to the diversion of patients from the modern medical system due to their preference for Ngangas. Promotion of a form of medical syncretism respecting both systems might be an efficient policy to increase the attractiveness of modern medicine and to ultimately promote public health in Gabon.

Apart from peculiarities of the cerebral circulation, required to perfuse the brain with the subject erect, the principles established for function of the human systemic circulation (pulsatile flow at input and steady flow at output in capillaries) are identical to those established for other mammals. Assumption of the erect posture first as Homo erectus, then as Homo sapiens, conferred huge advantage to humans and led to command of the mammalian kingdom. But this required a circulation which could perfuse the brain securely against gravity in all positions of the body. This review covers what presently is known about the human cerebral circulation, and how such knowledge can be applied in some clinical conditions including development of dementia in older subjects, and in management of patients with elevation of intra-cranial pressure in younger subjects.

Bu araştırma; 2012-2013 ve 2013-2014 yetiştirme dönemlerinde Eskişehir’de Geçit Kuşağı Tarımsal Araştırma Enstitüsü’nde yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada son yıllarda ıslahı, üretimi, gıda, yem ve diğer endüstriyel uygulamalarda kullanılmasıyla önem kazanan kavuzsuz arpada bazı ıslah hatlarının ilk gelişme dönemlerindeki özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla; materyal olarak dokuz adet kavuzsuz arpa hattı ile bir tane tescilli kavuzsuz arpa çeşidi (Özen) kullanılmıştır. Kök uzunluğu, fide boyu, fırın kuru kök ve toprak üstü ağırlığı ve bunların birbirine oranları incelenmiştir. İncelenen tüm özellikler yönünden yıllar arası farklılık önemli bulunmuş ve yıllar ayrı ayrı değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, G1 ve G3 kavuzsuz arpa hatlarının kök uzunluğu, fırın kuru kök / fide oranı diğer genotiplere oranla daha yüksek değerler göstermiştir. Bu hatların kışa dayanıklılık yönünden yapılacak ıslah çalışmalarında değerlendirilmesi önerilebilir. G5 ve G6 nolu hatlar; ilk gelişme döneminde belirlenen özellikler yönünden hatların ortalamasından daha yüksek değerlere sahip olmuştur.G8 kavuzsuz arpa hattı; ilk gelişme döneminde fırın kuru kök ağırlığı ve fırın kuru kök / fide ağırlığı yönünden en yüksek ortalamalara sahip olmuştur. Bu hattın devam eden ıslah çalışmaları sonucunda, 2014 yılında Yalın ismi ile tescili gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kavuzsuz arpa genotiplerinin ilk gelişme döneminde önemli farklılıklar saptanmış, hızlı çimlenme ve çıkış sağlayan genotiplerde; daha iyi bir fide gelişimi ve kök gelişimi tespit edilmiştir.

Bu çalışma Tortum Gölü’nde zooplankton faunasının belirlenmesi ve mevsimsel değişimlerini incelemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Su ve zooplankton örnekleri Şubat 2017-Ocak 2018 tarihleri arasında ayda bir kez göl üzerinde seçilen 3 istasyondan alınmıştır. Gölün ortalama su sıcaklığı 9.74± 2.89°C, çözünmüş oksijen 6.81±1.00 mg l-1, pH 8.48±0.12 ve elektrik iletkenliği 0.289±0.03 mS/cm olarak ölçülmüştür. Tortum Gölü’nde, Rotifera (5) ve Artropoda (8) şubesine ait toplam 13 tür teşhis edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Acartia (Acartiura) clausi %17 ile en fazla teşhis edilen tür olmuştur. Bu türü göldeki %15 ile zooplankton türlerine ait nauplius ve %13 ile Eudiaptomus gracilis takip etmiştir. Teşhis edilen türler içerisinde Daphnia longispina ve Cyclops kolensis %11, Daphnia cucullata ve Brachionus sp. %8, Keratella cochlearis %6, Daphnia pulex %5, Filinia longiseta ve Polyarthra sp. %2, Asplanchna herricki ve Daphnia magna %1 oranında tespit edilmiştir. Tortum Gölü’nün baskın zooplankton türleri Eudiaptomus gracilis ve Acartia (Acartiura) clausi iken Asplanchna herricki ve Polyarthra sp. en az sıklıkla rastlanılan türler olarak saptanmıştır. Shannon-Wiener Çeşitlilik İndeksi değeri ortalama olarak hesaplanmış ve (0.17 H´) istasyona bağlı değişimi 3ist>2ist>1.ist olarak sıralanmıştır. Margalef Çeşitlilik İndeksine göre en fazla çeşitlilik ağustos ayında 2. istasyonda, en az çeşitlilik ise Şubat ayında 1. ve 3. istasyonda tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak bu çalışma Erzurum İl sınırları içerisinde yapılan ilk zooplankton çalışması olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın, bölgedeki sucul alanların biyolojik özelliklerinin araştırılmasını önemli katkılar sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Zeytin ağacı (Olea europaea) ülkemizin de içerisinde yer aldığı Akdeniz bölgesinde yaygın olarak yetiştirilen bir türdür. Bu ağacın meyvesi ve yağından yararlanıldığı kadar, yapraklarından da halk hekimliğinde yararlanılmaktadır. Antioksidan, anti-enflamatuar ve antibiotik etkilerinin yanında kalp hastalıklarından korunma, karaciğer yağlanması, diabet gibi bazı yaygın hastalıklara karşı da etkili olduğu bilinmektedir. Zeytin yaprağının en önemli bileşeni oleuropeindir. Çalışmamızda; insan patojenleri için sıklıkla kullanılan model organizma Galleria mellonella (Büyük Balmumu Güvesi) kullanılmıştır. Zeytin yaprağı ekstraktı ile muamele edilen G. mellonella larvalarının toplam hemosit sayısı, enkapsülasyon ve melanizasyon bağışıklık tepkileri üzerine etkileri incelenmiştir. Toplam hemosit sayısının tespiti ve enkapsülasyon-melanizasyon tepkilerinin belirlenmesi için faz-kontrast mikroskop kullanılmıştır. Bulgularımıza göre 1000 ppm dozunda zeytin yaprağı ekstraktı bağışıklığı desteklemektedir.
Doğu Anadolu Bölgesindeki Büyükbaş Ve Küçükbaş Hayvan Atıklarının Biyogaz Potansiyelinin İncelenmesi

Dünya nüfusunun sürekli artış göstermesi, enerji ihtiyacının karşılanması amacıyla kullanılan fosil kaynakların hızla tükenmesine neden olmaktadır. Ayrıca fosil kaynakların kullanımı ozon tabakasının incelmesi, sera etkisi ve iklim değişikliği gibi çeşitli olumsuz etkilere neden olmaktadır. Bu olumsuz etkileri önlemek amacıyla fosil kaynakların tüketimi sınırlandırılmalı ve çevresel açıdan daha uygun kaynak arayışına gidilmektedir. Yeni kaynak arayışı ile birlikte yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları olarak ifade edilen, kendi kendini yenileyen ve çevre dostu olan enerji türleri ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu enerji türlerinden biri olan biyogaz enerjisi; organik atıkların belirli işlemlere tabii tutularak elde edilmesi prensibine dayanmaktadır. Bu enerjinin; yakıt, elektrik enerjisi ve ısınma ihtiyacı gibi birçok alanda kullanılabilme özelliği mevcuttur. Biyogaz enerjisinin üretimi ve kullanımı için uygulanabilecek alternatif teknolojiler hızla gelişmektedir. Ülkemizde tarım ve hayvancılık yaygın olduğundan, biyogaz enerjisi için bol miktarda biyokütle kaynağı mevcuttur. Yapılan bu çalışmada; Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi’ne ait 14 ilin büyükbaş ve küçükbaş hayvanlarından oluşacak potansiyel atık miktarı hesaplanmıştır. Bu atıklardan üretilebilecek biyogaz enerjisi ve bu enerjiden faydalanacak kişi sayısı belirlenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda; Ardahan ili merkez ilçe nüfusunun yaklaşık %93.6’sı, gerekli tesis kurulduğu takdirde enerji ihtiyacını biyogaz enerjisinden karşılayabileceği görülmüştür. Ağrı ili merkez ilçesi için bu sayı yaklaşık %75, Bitlis ili merkez ilçesi için ise yaklaşık %60.6 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Bu veriler göz önünde bulundurularak, bölgeye uygun biyogaz tesislerinin kurulması halinde hem bölgedeki enerji ihtiyacının büyük oranda karşılanacağı hem de çevresel şartların daha kaliteli hale geleceği ifade edilebilir.

Kırsal kesimdeki tarım arazileri arasındaki sınırlar bazen zikzaklardan oluşmaktadır. İki komşu parsel arasındaki zikzaklı sınırlar ve yakın çevresi tarımsal ürün kaybına neden olmaktadır. Bu itibarla zikzaklı sınırların düzgünleştirilmesi önem arz etmektedir. Ülkemizde arazi toplulaştırmasının yapılmadığı yerlerde zikzaklı sınırların düzgünleştirilmesi konusu, harita mühendisliğinin çalışma alanlarından biri olmaya devam etmektedir. Literatürde; komşu parseller arasındaki zikzaklı sınırların çelik şerit metre ve prizma gibi basit ölçü aletleriyle düzgünleştirilmesi hakkında bilgiye yer verilmektedir. Parsellerin köşe noktalarının koordinatları bilindiğinde, konunun kutupsal ölçmelerle çözümüne ilişkin bilgilere rastlanılmamıştır. Genellikle tarım yapılan arazilerin sınırlarında çit, tel örgü, tahta perde gibi kalıcı işaretler yer almaktadır. Sınırlardaki bu kalıcı işaretlerden dolayı, sınırların kesişme noktalarına veya sınır üzerinde belirlenen bir noktaya ölçme aletinin kurulması mümkün değildir. Zikzaklı sınırın düzgünleştirilmesinde temel prensip, yeni oluşturulan sınır nedeniyle komşu parsellerin bir alan kaybına uğramamasıdır. Bu çalışmada; sınır düzgünleştirmesi gereken komşu parsellerin köşe noktalarının koordinatları verildiğinde veya ilgili noktaların koordinatları kutupsal ölçmelerle hesaplanarak elde edildiğinde, zikzaklı sınırın, belirlenen bir istasyon noktasından kutupsal ölçmelerle nasıl düzgünleştirileceği incelenmiştir ve konuyla ilgili sayısal uygulama yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda elde edilen bulgular ve kanaatler belirtilmiştir.
