Authors: Rabiei Morteza , Kashanian Soheila , Samavati Seyedeh S. , Jamasb Shahriar , McInnes Steven J.P.
Published: December 2019

Background:

Treatment of neurological diseases using systemic and non-surgical techniques
presents a significant challenge in medicine. This challenge is chiefly associated with the condensation
and coherence of the brain tissue.

Methods:

The coherence structure of the brain is due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB),
which consists of a continuous layer of capillary endothelial cells. The BBB prevents most drugs from
entering the brain tissue and is highly selective, permitting only metabolic substances and nutrients to
pass through.

Results:

Although this challenge has caused difficulties for the treatment of neurological diseases, it
has opened up a broad research area in the field of drug delivery. Through the utilization of nanoparticles
(NPs), nanotechnology can provide the ideal condition for passing through the BBB.

Conclusion:

NPs with suitable dimensions and optimum hydrophobicity and charge, as well as appropriate
functionalization, can accumulate in the brain. Furthermore, NPs can facilitate the targeted delivery
of therapeutics into the brain areas involved in Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, stroke,
glioma, migraine, and other neurological disorders. This review describes these methods of actively
targeting specific areas of the brain.
Identification of Differentially Expressed Hematopoiesis-associated Genes in Term Low Birth Weight Newborns by Systems Genomics Approach
Authors: Singh Sakshi , Singh Vinay K. , Rai Geeta
Published: December 2019

Background:

Low Birth Weight (LBW) (birth weight <2.5 Kg) newborns are associated
with a high risk of infection, morbidity and mortality during their perinatal period. Compromised innate
immune responses and inefficient hematopoietic differentiation in term LBW newborns led us to
evaluate the gene expression status of hematopoiesis.

Materials and Methods:

In this study, we compared our microarray datasets of LBW-Normal Birth
Weight (NBW) newborns with two reference datasets to identify hematopoietic stem cells genes, and
their differential expression in the LBW newborns, by hierarchical clustering algorithm using gplots
and RcolorBrewer package in R.

Results:

Comparative analysis revealed 108 differentially expressed hematopoiesis genes (DEHGs),
of which 79 genes were up-regulated, and 29 genes were down-regulated in LBW newborns compared
to their NBW counterparts. Moreover, protein-protein interactions, functional annotation and pathway
analysis demonstrated that the up-regulated genes were mainly involved in cell proliferation and differentiation,
MAPK signaling and Rho GTPases signaling, and the down-regulated genes were engaged
in cell proliferation and regulation, immune system regulation, hematopoietic cell lineage and
JAK-STAT pathway. The binding of down-regulated genes (LYZ and GBP1) with growth factor GMCSF
using docking and MD simulation techniques, indicated that GM-CSF has the potential to alleviate
the repressed hematopoiesis in the term LBW newborns.

Conclusion:

Our study revealed that DEHGs belonged to erythroid and myeloid-specific lineages and
may serve as potential targets for improving hematopoiesis in term LBW newborns to help build up
their weak immune defense against life-threatening infections.

Published: December 2019

Soil crust strength influences seedling emergence, penetration and morphology of plant roots, and, consequently, crop yields. A study was carried out to assess the role of different soil properties on crust strength atHisar, Haryana, India. The soil samples from 0-5 and 5-15 cm depths were collected from 21 locations from farmer’s fields, having a wide range of texture.Soil propertieswere evaluated in the laboratory and theirinfluence on the modulus of rupture (MOR), which is the measure of crust strength, was evaluated.The MOR of texturally different soils was significantly correlated with saturated hydraulic conductivity at both the depths. Dispersion ratio was found to decrease with an increase in fineness of the texture of soil and the lowest value was recorded in silty clay loam soil,which decreased with depth. The modulus of rupture was significantly negatively correlative with the dispersion ratio.There was no role of calcium carbonate in influencing the values of MOR of soils. Similarly,the influence of pH, EC and SAR of soil solution on MOR was non-significant.A perusal of thevalues of the correlations between MOR and different soil properties showed that the MOR of soils of Haryana are positively correlated with silt + clay (r = 0.805) followed by water-stable aggregates (r = 0.774), organic carbon (r = 0.738), silt (r = 0.711), mean weight diameter (r = 0.608) and clay (r = 0.593) while negatively correlated with dispersion ratio (r = - 0.872), sand (r = -0.801) and hydraulic conductivity (r = -0.752) of soils.

Authors: Batey D Scott , Dong Xueyuan , Rogers Richard P , Merriweather Anthony , Elopre Latesha , Rana Aadia I , Hall H Irene , Mugavero Michael J
Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND

Evaluation of the time from HIV diagnosis to viral suppression (VS) captures the collective effectiveness of HIV prevention and treatment activities in a given locale and provides a more global estimate of how effectively the larger HIV care system is working in a given geographic area or jurisdiction.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to evaluate temporal and geographic variability in VS among persons with newly diagnosed HIV infection in Alabama between 2012 and 2014.

METHODS

With data from the National HIV Surveillance System, we evaluated median time from HIV diagnosis to VS (<200 c/mL) overall and stratified by Alabama public health area (PHA) among persons with HIV diagnosed during 2012 to 2014 using the Kaplan-Meier approach.

RESULTS

Among 1979 newly diagnosed persons, 1181 (59.67%) achieved VS within 12 months of diagnosis; 52.6% (353/671) in 2012, 59.5% (377/634) in 2013, and 66.9% (451/674) in 2014. Median time from HIV diagnosis to VS was 8 months: 10 months in 2012, 8 months in 2013, and 6 months in 2014. Across 11 PHAs in Alabama, 12-month VS ranged from 45.8% (130/284) to 84% (26/31), and median time from diagnosis to VS ranged from 5 to 13 months.

CONCLUSIONS

Temporal improvement in persons achieving VS following HIV diagnosis statewide in Alabama is encouraging. However, considerable geographic variability warrants further evaluation to inform public health action. Time from HIV diagnosis to VS represents a meaningful indicator that can be incorporated into public health surveillance and programming.
The transversal strength comparison between polyethylene and glass fiber as an acrylic resin denture plate repair material
Authors: Aditama Pramudya , Sugiatno Erwan , Sabdayana Sabdayana
Published: December 2019

Acrylic resin is the most commonly used denture base material. However, it has a shortage of being easily broken. One way to resolve this problem is by adding polyethylene (PE) or glass fibers. The purpose of this research is to compare the transversal strength of PE and glass fibers from denture plate acrylic resin repair material. The experiment involved 32 plates of heat cure acrylic with the dimensions of 65 mm x 10 mm x 2.5 mm. The speciments were prepared to create a 3 mm gap and 45° bevel. Subjects were divided into 2 groups, each group containing 16 plates. Group I was reinforced with PE fiber and Group II was reinforced with glass fiber. All plates were soaked in distillation water for one day at 37 °C. Plates were tested for transverse strength with universal testing machine and all data were analyzed with independent t-tes at 95% confidence level. Macro photo analysis was used to observed the bond failure on fiber and resin. The mean of transverse strength (MPa) denture plate acrylic resin repair material reinforced with PE fiber was (67.38 ± 4.31) MPa, while glass fiber was (93.61 ± 6.14) MPa. Independent t-tes showed that type of fiber had a significant effect (p<0.05). Thus, it is possible to conclude that addition of glass fibers in denture plate acrylic resin repair material increased the transverse strength and made it stronger than those added with PE fibers.

Treatment of infrabony pocket makes use of bone graft material demineralized freeze dried bone allograft (DFDBA) from different individuals which has undergone demineralization process and it is osteoinductive. Enhancement of growth factor was done by adding platelet rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet rich plasma (PRP). PRP is activated with an addition of calcium chloride CaCl2) to form gel. The method used to apply the bone grafting material is open flap debridement OFD). This research aimed to reveal the differences in the results of infrabony pocket treatment using PRF and PRP gel with an addition of DFDBA. The sample was taken from 20 infrabony pocket points divided into 2 groups, 10 infrabony pocket were treated with OFD+DFDBA+PRF and the other were treated with OFD+DFDBA+PRP gel. Pocket depth (PD) was measured on the baseline and the first and third month after treatment. Alveolar bone height was measured using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) radiograph on the baseline to the third month after treatment. The results of this research showed that there was difference in the results of infrabony pocket treatment using PRF and PRP gel with an addition of DFDBA which could be observed from a reduction in PD from the baseline, month 1 and month 3 as well as reduction in alveolar bone height from the baseline to month 3. This research concluded that infrabony pocket treatment PRF application yields better results than PRP gel application in terms of PD and alveolar bone height reduction.

Introduction. The increase in tension and complexity of the naval personnel work is naturally accompanied by an increase in the risk of formation of unacceptable functional states and a critical decrease in professional reliability. Timely detection and prevention of such states is impossible without the implementation of dynamic monitoring of naval personnel working capacity in the process of professional activity. Purpose of research — substantiation of complex technology of functional state and working capacity control of naval personnel. Materials and methods. During performance of work 215 ship experts of various profile of activity were examined. The studies were carried out using an automated functional state screening control system designed on a modular basis and implemented on a number of Navy orders. The results of research. The systems of dynamic control available at the Navy are an effective tool for early detection of borderline functional States of seafarers; determination of the working capacity stage in which the specialist is currently located; development of recommendations for the implementation of corrective measures. However, in real life, these systems are practically not used, there are no guiding documents regulating their application. Implementation of such automated systems on other ship projects requires adaptation and improvement of such systems. In addition, the Navy has no technical means to monitor the functional status of personnel directly during the performance of particularly complex tasks, the struggle for survivability and other extreme situations. Conclusion. The basic concept of screening control and monitoring of the naval personnel functional state in the process of professional activity is proposed.

Introduction.The use of internal resources to preserve professional longevity and constructive occupational genesis is becoming more and more popular in the field of specialists in extreme professions.Goal.Finding the conditions for the development of resiliency will allow for effective professional-psychological selection, medical and psychological support for employees of various activities. The work considers the resiliency within the framework of the scientific school of the academician of the Russian Academy of Education V. S. Mukhina.Materials and methods.To identify the conditions for the development of resiliency, male subjects of various professional groups took part in the study, whose daily activities at the substantial level included an extreme component in three areas: biological (study of psychophysiological status), psychological (individual-personality and socio-psychological characteristics) and social (demographic and social status elements).Results.One of the conditions for the development of the individual’s resiliency in the field of extreme types of labor is a positive attitude to the activities carried out with the support of family members and close friends. Resourcefulness in professional activity is ensured by «supraconscious» processes of conscious operations, which were developed earlier as unconscious mechanisms and attitudes of conscious actions given to an individual and allowing to perceive the circumstances of labor activity as standard. The reality of the internal space of the personality of resilience employees, according to factor analysis, is reflected in socialization, adaptability, mobilization, self-regulation and stability in the process of fulfilling everyday functional duties containing an extreme component, and is regulated by energy, perceptive, motivational, communicative and emotional-activity levels.
The structure of financial networks, and Western Balkan banking systems
Authors: Cvijanovic Drazen
Published: December 2019

This paper analyses the structure of the part of the global financial network
that the banking systems of the Western Balkan countries belong to for the
period 2007-2013. The data it uses is mostly from BIS consolidated banking
statistics and the methodological tools used are based on network theory. It
finds that a few features of the pan-European financial network strongly
influence the likelihood of risk transfer to the Western Balkan area. First,
the banking systems of the six Western Balkan countries are periphery nodes
in the financial network. Second, the network is highly concentrated around
a small number of nodes and all other nodes are weakly interconnected.
Third, there are three nodes or regional common lenders that have dominant
roles in the Western Balkan banking systems: the banking systems of Austria,
Italy, and Greece. The conclusion is that in the case of financial distress
anywhere in the financial network, risk could easily spread to Western
Balkan banking systems, with the interconnections in the financial network
having the effect of a risk transmitter. Wherever in the network the initial
shock is sufficiently strong, financial contagion could easily spread to the
Western Balkan area through the regional common lenders.
Does Diamond Stone Grinding Change the Surface Characteristics and Flexural Strength of Monolithic Zirconia?
Authors: Aliaga R , Miotto LN , Candido LM , Fais LMG , Pinelli LAP
Published: December 2019

Purpose:

The present study evaluated the effect of grinding on the surface morphology, mean roughness, crystalline phase, flexural strength, and Weibull modulus of monolithic (MZ) and conventional (CZ) zirconias.

Methods and Materials:

CZ and MZ bars and square-shaped specimens were distributed into three subgroups, combining grinding (G) and irrigation (W) with distilled water: Ctrl (Control: no grinding, 20 × 4 × 1.2 mm and 12 × 1.2 mm), DG (dry grinding, 20 × 4 × 1.5 mm and 12 × 1.5 mm), and WG (grinding with irrigation, 20 × 4 × 1.5 mm and 12 × 1.5 mm). The grinding (0.3 mm) was performed on a standardized device using a low-rotation wheel-shaped diamond stone. The four-point flexural strength test was performed on the EMIC 2000 machine (5 KN, 0.5 mm/min). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to evaluate the surface morphology. An X-ray diffractometer (XRD) was used to obtain the crystalline structures that were analyzed by the Rietveld method. Flexural strength (FS) values were subjected to the Shapiro-Wilk test and two-way analysis of variance followed by the Tukey's test (for all tests, α=0.05).

Results:

Grinding, either with or without irrigation, did not change the FS of the MZ but increased the FS of the CZ. Both MZ and CZ showed similar morphologic patterns after grinding, and in the WG groups, the grinding was more aggressive. The MZ had greater monoclinic content in all groups; grinding without irrigation caused the smallest t→m transformation.

Conclusion:

The grinding, when necessary, should be carried out without irrigation for conventional and monolithic zirconias.
Fatigue Failure Load of a Bonded Simplified Monolithic Feldspathic Ceramic: Influence of Hydrofluoric Acid Etching and Thermocycling
Authors: Guilardi LF , Pereira GKR , Vallau AS , Silva IA , Giordani JC , Valandro LF , Rippe MP
Published: December 2019

Objective:

To evaluate the effect of hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching and thermocycling (Tc) on fatigue failure load of feldspathic ceramic restorations cemented with two resin cements.

Methods:

Disc-shaped feldspathic ceramic (Vitablocs Mark II; Ø=10 mm, 1.0-mm thick) and G10 epoxy resin (Ø=10 mm, 2.5-mm thick) specimens were made and randomly allocated considering three factors: ceramic etching (ie, with vs without 10% HF plus silane application), resin cement (ie, self-adhesive [RelyX U200; U200] or conventional [Multilink Automix; MA]), and Tc (ie, with vs without 5-55°C/12,000 cycles). Adhesive cementation followed each manufacturer's instructions. The fatigue test (n=20) was based on the staircase approach (250,000 cycles; 20 Hz). Contact angle, surface topography, and fractography analysis were also executed. Specific statistical tests were employed for each outcome (α=0.05).

Results:

The interaction of HF and Tc factors decreased the fatigue resistance for both cements (U200 542.63>U200/HF-Tc 495.00; MA 544.47>MA/HF-Tc 506.84). Comparing the cements associated with HF or Tc, there was statistical superiority for MA (U200-Tc 537.37<MA-Tc 561.32; U200/HF 535.79<MA/HF 557.11), and no statistical difference was detected when only cement type or its association with HF-Tc was compared (U200 542.63=MA 544.47; U200/HF-Tc 495.00=MA/HF-Tc 506.84). The fracture always originated from defects at the ceramic-intaglio surface as radial cracks.

Conclusion:

HF etching plus silane agent increased the ceramic surface free energy and its wettability, but it did not provide better results in terms of fatigue resistance compared with silane agent application only. The association of HF etching and aging significantly reduced the fatigue resistance of the material, regardless of the resin cement used.

Published: November 2019

O objetivo do estudo foi identificar a aptidão motora geral, e aptidão nas áreas específicas da motricidade humana, em idosos com 80 anos ou mais. Na aptidão motora geral, a maioria dos idosos foi classificada abaixo da normalidade. Coordenação motora global, equilíbrio, e esquema corporal foram os domínios que apresentaram resultados inferiores. Concluiu-se que os idosos longevos apresentaram déficit motor associado a perdas cognitivas que podem implicar negativamente em aspectos emocionais e sociais durante a retrogênese.Palavras-chave: Envelhecimento; Idoso de 80 Anos ou mais; Desempenho Psicomotor.

A avaliação da capacidade funcional do idoso permite conhecer o perfil e ajudar na realização de estratégias de promoção à saúde. O estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a capacidade funcional de idosos que participam de um grupo de Pilates na UNATI – Universidade Aberta a Terceira Idade, na cidade de Goiânia (GO). Estudo analítico-transversal com uma amostra composta de 24 idosos, com idades de 60 a 76 anos. Os idosos pesquisados praticavam os exercícios de Pilates no solo regularmente com frequência de duas vezes por semana. Foram coletados dados do nível de atividade física, capacidade funcional de caminhar, sentar e levantar e índice de massa corporal. A diminuição do IMC e dos efeitos do próprio envelhecimento são beneficiados pela atividade física regular. Os idosos mais ativos que praticam exercícios de Pilates apresentam melhor capacidade funcional e destreza motora, a despeito de sua idade.

Published: November 2019

Trata-se de um relato de experiência baseado nas vivências de estudantes do curso de graduação em Enfermagem de uma Universidade pública do interior do estado do Ceará, Brasil, com um grupo de idosos de um Centro de Saúde da Família. As ações foram desenvolvidas por meio de abordagens grupais, com a utilização de metodologias ativas. Foram abordados temas relevantes à área do envelhecimento, como: hipertensão, alimentação saudável e prevenção de quedas, quando se adquiriram novos saberes, esclareceram-se dúvidas, em momentos ricos na condução de um grupo intergeracional, significativo para a formação acadêmica, uma ação de grande valia na Atenção Primária para o aprofundamento no estudo das temáticas abordadas. Assim, conclui-se que a realização de grupos de idosos com abordagens didáticas é um excelente meio de empoderar esses idosos sobre temas do seu cotidiano, e sobre a promoção à saúde, afastando-se do foco meramente clínico da saúde, e fazendo-se uso de outros meios de cuidado, ao enxergar o indivíduo em seu aspecto singular, biopsicossocial e espiritual.

Student Perceptions of Online Teacher and On-site Facilitator Support in Supplemental Online Courses
Authors: Borup Jered , Chambers Chawanna B. , Stimson Rebecca
Published: December 2019

In an attempt to better support their students and reduce online course attrition rates, some brick-and-mortar schools provide their online students with an on-site facilitator who supports students face-to-face. However, little is known about how students perceive the support provided by their on-site facilitator and online teacher. For this report, we surveyed 70 students and conducted eight focus groups with 51 students to better understand the support that online teachers and on-site facilitators provided them. Our findings focused on the following support indicators: (1) advising students regarding course enrollments, (2) orienting students to online learning procedures and expectations, (3) facilitating interactions, (4) developing caring relationships, (5) motivating students to more fully engage in learning activities, (6) organizing and managing student learning, and (7) instructing students regarding the course content. The majority of support appeared to come from students’ on-site facilitators. An important exception was that the large majority of the content-related support came from the online teacher. While students were largely positive when describing the support from their on-site facilitators, students were split and more critical of the support (or the lack of support) from their online teacher.
