OBJECTIVE

Evidence regarding the modifying effect of the polygenic risk score (PRS) on the associations between glycemic traits and hearing loss (HL) was lacking. We aimed to examine whether these associations can be influenced by genetic susceptibility.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

This cross-sectional study included 13,275 participants aged 64.9 years from the Dongfeng-Tongji cohort. HL was defined according to a pure tone average >25 dB in the better ear and further classified by severity. Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2D) were defined based on the 2013 criteria from the American Diabetes Association. A PRS was derived from 37 single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with HL. Multivariable logistic regression models were fitted to estimate the associations of PRS and glycemic traits with HL and its severity.

RESULTS

Elevated fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and T2D were positively associated with higher HL risks and its severity, with odds ratios (ORs) ranging from 1.04 (95% CI 1.00, 1.08) to 1.25 (95% CI 1.06, 1.46). We also found significant interaction between HbA1c and PRS on risks of overall HL and its severity (P for multiplicative interaction <0.05), and the effects of HbA1c on HL risks were significant only in the group with high PRS. Additionally, compared with normoglycemia in the group with low PRS, T2D was associated with an OR of up to 2.00 and 2.40 for overall HL and moderate to severe HL, respectively, in the group with high PRS (P for additive interaction <0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

PRS modifies the association of HbA1c with HL prevalence among middle-aged and older Chinese individuals.
Fungal Biodegradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)
Authors: N Hedid
Published: May 2024

For many years, PAHs have been the subject of intense controversy throughout the world, due to their high toxicity and their presence in almost all environmental media. Their hazardous nature has given rise to a number of legal requirements throughout the world aimed at effectively reducing their content in foodstuffs and certain everyday consumer products. However, technologies for remediating PAH-contaminated soils use chemical and mechanical approaches that are extremely costly and not very environmentally friendly. That's why research is currently focusing on biological approaches that can provide effective, low-cost treatment for PAH-contaminated soils, and avoid environmental repercussions as far as possible. The aim of this paper is to shed light on a biological approach to the treatment of PAHs that is still in its infancy, but which is already showing great promise: biodegradation by fungi, which differ from other organisms in that they secrete enzymes that give them the ability to feed in environments inaccessible to other kingdoms, and to absorb toxic PAH chemicals from the soil and transform them into less harmful compounds.

Authors: N* Rutuja
Published: May 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms have been used to evaluate actual knowledge, reports on unfavourable occurrences, and publications to monitor post-marketing medication safety and detect possible safety concerns concerning security and respect to standards. AI has also been helpful in signal verification, adverse event prediction, and pharmacovigilance. AI is additionally implemented in streamlining pharmaceutical supply chains, guaranteeing effective distribution, management of inventory, and output. The possibilities of AI in PKPD studies are being recognized by pharmaceutical firms more and more. AI includes significant tools and techniques that help improve the processes involved in medication development and discovery. GNS Medical Care, AstraZeneca, Atom wise, Recursion Pharmaceuticals, and Insilico Medicines are a few instances. AI has been useful in the advancement of strategies for the rapid and perfect manufacture of dosage forms. AI possesses the possibility to completely overhaul the medical industry in the future by driving up the process of medication creation and discovery. With the use of virtual screening techniques, large chemical libraries will be effectively assessed to determine therapeutic candidates with the necessary lead compound identification time. By reviewing genomes, proteomes, and health data, AI-enabled precision nursing may be able to divide up patients, determine the results of treatment, and personalize medications. Using generative models and deep learning, scientists can produce novel molecules with targetbinding properties that increase drug efficacy and decrease side effects. AI will also enable dosage formulations tailored to individual patients. AI algorithms will improve drug formulations as well as delivery systems for improving health service outcomes by accounting for factors unique to each patient, such as size, age, heritage, and medical condition disease. Security evaluations he transform as a result of AI algorithms' ability to predict the toxicity and potential negative effects of medications.

Authors: SP* Carvalho
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Tooth autotransplantation is a biological and innovative technique for the rehabilitation of compromised or missing teeth. It involves the surgical repositioning of healthy teeth in the dental arch to restore the functions of the stomatognathic system. Despite being a promising technique, few professionals have performed dental autotransplantation in clinical practice. Aim: To review the literature and evaluate the clinical success rate and factors associated with the technique of dental autotransplantation, focusing on its application especially in the Brazilian public health system. Methods: Articles were searched in PubMed (Medline), Scielo and Google Scholar databases for a period of 10 years (2012- 2022) by two independent authors. Clinical studies and case series about dental autotransplantation presenting more than 10 patients older than eight years, and a follow-up longer than one year were included. Results: A total of 320 articles were eligible for inclusion, of which 57 were selected for full-text evaluation. Fifteen articles were included in this review. A total of 1048 patients were reported in the articles, with an age range of 8 to 58 years and a followup of 1 to 29 years. The mean success rate was 86.79%. Molars were the most commonly used teeth for autotransplantation. Conclusion: Dental autotransplantation has high success rates and proves to be an excellent, low-cost therapeutic option that should be promoted in clinical practice, especially in the public service.

Attitudes Towards Filial Responsibility in 11 European Countries
Authors: Kääriäinen Juha , Danielsbacka Mirkka , Tanskanen Antti
Published: May 2024

This study examines how attitudes towards filial responsibility (AFR) have changed in 11 European countries between 2001 and 2017, based on data from the International Social Survey Programme. These countries include various types of welfare states and family traditions. The study also analyses the change in AFR according to the respondents’ gender and age. The findings indicate that in 2017, individuals reported lower filial responsibility than in 2001, with the exception of Great Britain, where the AFR increased. The most substantial decreases in AFR were observed in Hungary, France, Denmark, and Finland. This negative shift is visible in both genders and all age groups, particularly late middle-aged women. However, despite the varying intensity of AFR change, it was challenging to identify clear patterns in the variations between countries. These results highlight potential negative effects on political proposals for long-term care for older adults supported by younger generations.
Seasonality of Birth Weight in Singleton Full-term Births in Finland
Authors: Orderud Hilde , Eskelinen Niko , Lindberg Matti
Published: May 2024

Seasonal birth weight has been identified across different climate zones. Finland has wide seasonal and regional variation in climate within the country. We explore the potential seasonality of birth weight in singleton full-term births in Finland, and its variations across time and within the country. We apply descriptive time-series graphs, linear regression across regions, and linear regression with mother fixed effects using Finnish register data consisting of more than 1,800,000 infants born from 1987 to 2021. The descriptive findings indicate a decline in birth weight from 1987 to 2021. A monthly seasonal trend with peaks in spring and autumn and troughs in summer and winter is observed. The pattern gets less distinct with time and shows within-country variations. The seasonal pattern is also present when applying mother fixed effects. We suggest that the seasonal variation is more related to variations in climate than stable characteristics at the family level.

Published: May 2024

As cidades brasileiras tem como um dos atributos fundamentais a forte segregação socioespacial. O estudo visa a analisar a medida em que a localização das Zonas Especiais de Interesse Social nos vazios em Brasília contribui ou não para a manutenção dessa constante. A análise e sustentada pela Teoria da Sintaxe Espacial e facilitada pela construção dos mapas de integração global e de renda da capital. Caracterizada como a cidade mais dispersa do país e a segunda do mundo, com pouca variedade de estratos sociais em seus bairros, Brasília possui como potencial a grande quantidade de áreas públicas desocupadas. Apesar disso, a estratégia de reserva de áreas para a provisão de habitação de interesse social aparentemente não contemplou critérios que contribuam para a redução da segregação socioespacial.

Research on general treatment principles and methods of bone fracture in Mongolian medicine
Authors: SuRilige SuRilige , Baldoo Lagshmaa , Lkhagvasuren Naranbat , AQilatu AQilatu , Namsrai Oyuntsetseg
Published: May 2024

The Mongolian nomadic nation has created bone healing, or fracture healing, which is suitable for the extreme weather and territory, unique living conditions, and physical characteristics while struggling to fight diseases during a long historical period. Gradually, this treatment method has gradually developed into a more comprehensive theoretical system throughout history and has unique names due to the thinking scope of the Mongols, their cognition development, and thus their use of it in their everyday lives and continuing to enrich their knowledge. Mongols have rich experience healing bone fractures and injuries from ancient times. They are usually used to perform bone setting and massage therapy. On the other hand, they have experience using herbal and mineral medicines to heal bone fractures and injuries. During their practice, the knowledge of herbal and mineral medicines used for bone fractures and injuries became expansive. After Buddhism reemerged in the 16th century, Mongolian doctors and knowledgeable people wrote many medical books in Tibetan. One of the major representatives was Jambaldorj, who wrote Mongolian materia medica, called “The beautiful wondrous eye ornament,” based on “Four medical tantras.” In treating bone fracture and injury in traditional medicine, firstly, the four treatment methods mentioned in “Four medical tantras” are the main principles and methods, which are wind, bile and phlegm theory, dietary recommendations, advice on behavior, prescribing medicine, and accessory therapy. We concluded that the names of herbal and mineral medicines used to practice bone setting are the same, even though they are mentioned in various sources.

Authors: Zhou Benjun , Xing Weihao
Published: May 2024

The cyanobacteria bloom is one of typical manifestations of eutrophication, yet the effects of heavy metals entering water on cyanobacteria bloom remain unclear. In the present study, the effects of copper and zinc ions on the growth of Microcystic aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) and the production of microcystins (MCs) were investigated. The results showed that a Cu2+ concentration of 0.02 mg/L stimulated the growth of M. aeruginosa, while growth inhibition occurred at a Cu2+ concentration of 0.1 mg/L. The maximum value of MC-LR (167.74 μg/L) occurred at a Cu2+ concentration of 0.02 mg/L. In contrast, a Zn2+ concentration of 0.1 mg/L stimulated the growth of M. aeruginosa, whereas growth inhibition was observed at a Zn2+ concentration of 0.5 mg/L. The maximum MC-LR value of 130 μg/L appeared under control conditions. Moreover, the production of MC-LR increased as the growth of M. aeruginosa was inhibited with a Cu2+ concentration of 0.1 mg/L, whereas the production of MC-LR decreased as the growth of M. aeruginosa was stimulated with a Zn2+ concentration of 0.1 mg/L, compared to their respective controls.
Remanufacturing closed-loop supply chain decision comparison under multiple carbon policies
Authors: Feng Yangang , Li Xuemeng
Published: May 2024

This article constructs a closed-loop supply chain system including a single manufacturer and a single retailer and studies the optimal decision problem of enterprises under three different carbon reduction policies. Three supply chain game models were constructed to research the impact of different carbon reduction policies on the decisions of supply chain members. The results revealed that:(1) The carbon emission reduction level of the manufacturer is negatively correlated with the recycling price of used products and the abatement cost factor;(2) When the carbon trading price is equal to the tax rate, the carbon cap and trade policy is more conducive to promoting the manufacturer to improve the level of carbon emission reduction;(3) When the carbon trading price is low, mixed carbon policy is more favorable for the manufacturer to increase its carbon emission reduction. The research results of this study can provide certain suggestions for the government to implement a reasonable carbon reduction policy.
A study on the influencing factors and improvement strategies of perceived value of recreational fishing customers on their willingness to revisit
Authors: Ran Zhou , Qijun Jiang
Published: May 2024

As the main service target of recreational fishery operators, customers’ willingness to revisit has a profound impact on stimulating the rapid development of recreational fishery. However, there is currently little research on the influencing factors and improvement strategies of recreational fishery customers’ willingness to revisit from the perspective of perceived value. This article selects 500 customers participating in recreational fishing in Chun’an County and Xiangshan County, Zhejiang Province, China as the research objects, and uses the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method to explore the influencing factors of recreational fishing customers’ willingness to revisit. Research has found that: (1) Economic value and experiential value play a core role in four conditional configurations that lead to high customer revisit intention, and are key factors affecting the high revisit intention of recreational fishing customers; (2) two conditional configurations lead to low revisit intention of recreational fishery customers, and the lack of economic value plays a core role in these two conditional configurations, which are the key factors affecting the low revisit intention of recreational fishery customers; (3) Based on the controllability of conditional factors, it can be concluded that providing economically applicable and experiential recreational fishery services is the best strategy to enhance customers’ willingness to revisit. This study, under the synergistic effect of multiple conditions, reveals the complexity of factors influencing customer revisit intention. Setting reasonable charging standards and improving customer experience are inevitable choices to enhance the revisit intention of recreational fishing customers.

Authors: Adamczyk Krzysztof , Herbut Piotr , Godyń Dorota , Angrecka Sabina , Kupczyński Robert , Vieira Frederico Márcio Corrêa
Published: May 2024

Cattle are among the animals with diurnal activity, which is due to the specific animal–environment relationship and the natural role wild cattle play in the ecosystem. As humans began domesticating, breeding these animals, they became an integral part of this relationship. This review article addresses the most important current issues: 1) a characterisation of contemporary knowledge on the biological determinants of the vision abilities of dairy cattle, 2) a discussion of the relationship between these abilities and animal health and performance, and 3) a characterisation of the light–animal relationship under husbandry conditions. The intricate link between the anatomical and physiological aspects of visual function in cattle and their circadian rhythms was emphasised. This connection directly influences cattle growth and development, as well as the health and performance of dairy cows during the long/short day photoperiods. The article also considers the possibility of managing dairy cows’ photoperiod and light quality to enhance their performance and overall well-being.

Published: May 2024

This study compared the effects of feeding a new strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae HSA2020 with a commercial strain on in vitro rumen fermentation and production performance of dairy cows. Permeate was used as a substrate for the laboratory production of the new strain of S. cerevisiae after the hydrolysis by β-galactosidase (5000 µ/mL at 37°C). Two experiments were conducted: in Experiment 1, the effects of three levels (1, 2 and 3 g/kg dry matter) of S. cerevisiae on in vitro ruminal fermentation kinetics were evaluated. In Experiment 2, for 60 days, sixty multiparous Holstein cows (639±24.8 kg BW, 3±1 parity, 7±1 days in milk, with a previous milk production of 23±2.0 kg/d) during the previous lactation, were randomly assigned to 3 treatments in a completely randomized design. Cows were fed without any additives (control treatment) or supplemented with 2 g/kg feed daily of laboratory produced (PY) or commercial (CY) S. cerevisiae. In Experiment 1, inclusion of PY and CY increased (P<0.05) gas production, propionate, and nutrient disappearance, while decreased (P<0.05) methane production and protozoal count. Moreover, in Experiment 2, PY followed by CY increased (P<0.01) nutrient digestibility, and serum concentrations of total protein, albumin, and glucose (P<0.05). Higher daily milk yield, and milk energy output were observed with PY and CY without affecting concentrations of milk components or milk fatty acid profile. Compared to control, increased feed efficiency was observed with PY and CY. Compared to PY, CY increased serum concentrations of urea-N and decreased triglycerides, while PY decreased serum aspartate transaminase and increased concentration of conjugated linoleic acids in milk. In early lactating cow diets, both strains of S. cerevisiae improved production performance at 2 g/kg, and minimal differences between strains were found.
Animal Models for the Treatment of Human Diseases – A Review
Authors: Jura Jacek
Published: May 2024

Currently, studies conducted on animal models provide new insight into the aetiology and course of various pathological conditions in humans. Due to the cause of disease, animal models can be divided into two categories: natural models, such as nude mice, and induced models, such as transgenic pigs. This article discusses several examples of animal models and their contributions to the development of effective therapies for human diseases such as muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and atherosclerosis. In addition, we presented the latest news on gene therapy, xenotransplantation, and drug trials in humans and animals.
Biological Removal of Nitrogenous Waste Compounds in the Biofloc Aquaculture System – A Review
Authors: Khanjani Mohammad Hossein , Zahedi Saeed , Sharifinia Moslem , Hajirezaee Saeed , Singh Soibam Khogen
Published: May 2024

Aquaculture has experienced significant global expansion and is considered one of the fastest-growing sectors in food production. However, there exist additional challenges that restrict the capacity to achieve maximum efficiency in aquaculture systems, such as issues over water quality and shortages of appropriate live feeds. Intensive aquaculture systems involve the use of protein-rich prepared feed for feeding the cultured animals. This may give rise to the discharge of nitrogenous compounds into the water, which can pose a risk to the environment when present in excessive quantities beyond the acceptable levels. In recent years, an innovative method called biofloc technology (BFT) has become a practical solution to this issue. Undoubtedly, BFT offers a groundbreaking method for nutrient disposal that eradicates the requirement for excessive water use or equipment maintenance. Three primary types of microorganisms are crucial in alleviating the adverse impacts of nitrogen compounds in this technique. Photoautotrophs participate in the processes of removal and absorption, whereas chemoautotrophs promote nitrification and conversion. Heterotrophs contribute to the absorption process. Biofloc predominantly consists of heterotrophic bacteria, alongside algae, protozoa, rotifers, and nematodes. While there have been reviews carried out on multiple aspects of biofloc technology, there exists a lack of literature that tackles this particular field of research progress. This article discusses every aspect and techniques of biological management used for removing nitrogenous waste compounds in biofloc aquaculture systems.
Exploring the use of metabarcoding to reveal eukaryotic associations with mononchids nematodes
Authors: Maosa Joseph O. , Wang Siqi , Liu Shuhan , Li Hongmei , Qing Xue , Bert Wim
Published: May 2024

Nematodes play a vital ecological role in soil and marine ecosystems, but there is limited information about their dietary diversity and feeding habits. Due to methodological challenges, the available information is based on inference rather than confirmed observations. The lack of correct dietary requirements also hampers rearing experiments. To achieve insight into the prey of mononchid nematodes, this study employed high-throughput Illumina paired-end sequencing using universal eukaryotic species 18S primers on 10 pooled mononchid nematode species, namely Mylonchulus brachyuris, M. brevicaudatus, Mylonchulus sp., Clarkus parvus, Prionchulus sp. M. hawaiiensis, M. sigmaturellus, M. vulvapapillatus, Anatonchus sp. and Miconchus sp. The results indicate that mononchids are associated with a remarkable diversity of eukaryotes, including fungi, algae, and protists. While the metabarcoding approach, first introduced here for mononchids, proved to be a simple and rapid method, it has several limitations and crucial methodological challenges that should be addressed in future studies. Ultimately, such methods should be able to evaluate the dietary complexity of nematodes and provide a valuable avenue for unraveling the dietary requirements of previously unculturable nematodes. This can contribute to the methodology of understanding their feeding habits and contributions to ecosystem dynamics.

Perilaku seksual berisiko dan pencegahannya lebih banyak dilakukan pada kelompok populasi berisiko tinggi padahal laporan dari layanan IMS dan HIV/AIDS menunjukkan adanya perilaku berisiko pada populasi dengan risiko lebih rendah seperti pedagang perempuan. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui secara mendalam perilaku seksual berisiko dan pencegahan IMS dan HIV/AIDS pada pedagang perempuan di pasar tradisional terbesar di Bali.
Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi eksploratif dengan menggunakan pendekatan mix-methods quantitative prelimenary pada pedagang perempuan di Pasar Badung Kota Denpasar. Survei dengan quota sampling melibatkan 100 responden dan wawancara mendalam pada 20 responden pemilik dagang, asisten dagang dan buruh dagang yang dipilih secara purposive dilakukan pada bulan Oktober. Data kuantitatif dianalisis secara deskriptif sedangkan data kualitatif dianalisis dengan pendekatan tematik.
Hasil survei menunjukkan 60% dari responden tidak merasa berisiko tertular IMS dan HIV/AIDS meskipun ditemukan 22% dari responden melakukan hubungan seksual berganti pasangan dalam setahun terakhir. Terkait perilaku pencegahan hanya 41% yang memakai kondom pada saat berhubungan seks terakhir dengan pasangan bukan suami. Analisis hasil wawancara mendalam menemukan hubungan seksual dengan pasangan bukan suami dilakukan berdasarkan hubungan suka sama suka tanpa meminta atau mengharapkan imbalan. Terdapat juga perilaku hubungan seks dengan menerima hadiah untuk pemenuhan kebutuhan ekonomi. Kedua perilaku tersebut tidak diikuti dengan perilaku pencegahan memakai kondom, hal ini sesuai dengan persepsi rendahnya risiko hubungan seksual yang dilakukan karena hingga waktu penelitian tidak menunjukkan gejala dan tanda kesakitan.
Meskipun tidak terlalu besar, terdapat perilaku seksual berisiko di kalangan perempuan pedagang Pasar Badung akibat hubungan seksual dengan pasangan bukan suami tanpa menggunakan kondom. Diperlukan program edukasi pencegahan dan layanan IMS dan HIV/AIDS dengan seting populasi umum.
