Energy evaluation of cows using genetic markers
Authors: Gubarenko N. Yu.
Published: November 2020

The aim of the study was to research the polymorphism of allelic variants of somatotropin GH genes and pituitary-specific transcription factor PIT-1 and its influence on bioenergetic parameters of high-yielding of Holstein breed cows in intensive milk production technology (cold method of growing heifers, early insemination of heifers. high daily operating loads on the body, etc.). Genotypes of cows were determined by PCR. Blood DNA was examined in a genetic laboratory. Isolation of genomic DNA was performed using resin “Chelex-100”. The reaction was performed in an amplifier “Tertsyk”. For the energy assessment of first-born cows used indicators of net maintenance energy (MJ per day), net milk energy (MJ per day), total net energy consumption (MJ per day), the value of the energy index (the share of energy released from milk, %), productivity index (kilogram of 4 % milk per 1 MJ), net energy consumption per 1 MJ of milk (MJ), energy released with milk per 1 kg of metabolic mass (MJ). The best energy parameters in cows by GH gene – LL genotype, by pituitary-specific transcription factor PIT-1 – AB genotype, and among paired genotypes – LL/AB and LL/BB. In these animals, bioenergetic indicators for the first and second periods of lactation were higher than their peers of LV, BB and LV/BB genotypes by 2.0–15.2 %, with a reliable result for most traits. In particular, during the first lactation period, the advantage of cows of the LL/AB genotype over the LV/BB genotype in terms of bioenergetic indicators was 3.9–15.2 %, significantly less than in the second lactation period in the range of 1.8–7.4 %. In the genome of pituitary-specific transcription factor PIT-1, better bioenergetic parameters were found in cows of genotype AB than in cows of genotype BB. The difference in bioenergetic parameters is explained by the higher lactotropic function of the L and A alleles, and is the result of a greater complementary effect on the functioning of the alleles of the associated genes in the complex genotype. This was confirmed by the analysis of variance of one-factor complexes, which revealed a stronger influence of genotypes on bioenergetic parameters during the first period of lactation than the second. However, the strength of the influence of the paired genotype on the GH and PIT-1 genes was always high regardless of the lactation period and ranged from 8.9 to 20.9 % (P < 0.01–0.001). In the future, it is of interest to study the formation of the exterior and constitution of cows of different genetic influences under the influence of polymorphisms in the GH and PIT-1 genes.

The results of research on the features of cyclic lability of homeostasis in gilts are highlighted. In the experiments it has been used gilts of the Red White belted breed of meat pigs at different phases of the reproductive cycle: luteal phase, estrus, on the 15th, 20th, 30th, 60th, 90th, 104th, 113th day of pregnancy and in 12 hours after farrowing. The dynamics of the content of thyroid and steroid hormones, as well as the peculiarities of the formation of prooxidant-antioxidant homeostasis were determined in blood serum. It was found out that the amount of steroid hormones in blood of gilts is labile and is determined by the physiological state, namely the onset of estrus, relative to the luteal phase, it is increased the level of thyroxine (30.0 %), triiodothyronine (26.3 %), estradiol-17 β (by 22.8 %, P < 0.01) testosterone (15.2 %), as well as a decrease in progesterone (by 37.2 %). Such changes are accompanied by the acceleration of peroxidation processes, xanthine oxidase activity increases, it is increased the content of diene conjugates (P < 0.05) and TBA-active compounds. This is accompanied by a probable increase in the level of antioxidant protection – the activity of superoxide dismutase (P < 0.05), vitamin A (P < 0.05) and vitamin E (P < 0.05). During two months of pregnancy, the concentration of thyroxine (P < 0.05), triiodothyronine, progesterone (P < 0.01), testosterone (P < 0.05) and estradiol-17β increases. Such metabolic shifts cause changes in the state of prooxidant-antioxidant homeostasis in the direction of reducing the intensity of peroxidation processes. In gilts before farrow there is a decrease in thyrocoxin, triiodothyronine and progesterone. The intensification of peroxidation was found: the increase in SOD activity (P < 0.05), the dehydroascorbic acid content (P < 0.05), diene conjugates and TBA-active complexes, as well as the decrease in the concentration of reduced glutathione and vitamin A (P < 0.05) and vitamin E (P < 0.05). In blood of sows after farrowing, the concentration of thyroxine increases on 1.3 times, triiodothyronine – on 2.7 times, and progesterone and estradiol-17β decreases on 1.8 and 8.7 times, respectively. It was revealed that the intensity of lipid peroxidation processes decreased: DC content by 16.3 % and TBA-active complexes by 13.3%. It was determined that the concentration of ascorbic acid decreased by 32.8 % and vitamin E – 18.9 %.

Transformando A Dor Em Laços De Amor: A Participação De Enlutados Num Grupo De Apoio
Authors: Sassi Franciele
Published: November 2020

O ser humano é, naturalmente, um ser relacional. Os grupos existentes nas diferentes esferas da vida social possibilitam o compartilhamento de objetivos, anseios e necessidades, na busca por soluções funcionais por meio do conhecimento gerado no contexto da colaboração dos pares. No que tange aos grupos de apoio, estes configuram-se como suportes sociais de apoio e amparo frente às dificuldades de atravessamento e superação do processo de mudança imposto pelo luto. O presente trabalho pretende, portanto, mapear os estudos sobre grupos de apoio ao luto a fim de investigar os possíveis benefícios da participação de indivíduos enlutados num grupo de apoio, no que tange à facilitação do processo de elaboração do luto. Para tal, foi utilizada a metodologia de estudo denominada Revisão Sistemática da Literatura, a qual possibilitou organizar os materiais coletados durante a pesquisa – delimitada entre 2004 e 2014 – e investigá-los, possibilitando a relação entre o trabalho do psicólogo como aconselhador em situações de luto junto ao contexto dos grupos de apoio a enlutados em sua totalidade e, mais especificamente, tratando-se do grupo denominado Transformando a dor em laços de amor. Articulando a teoria encontrada essencialmente nos autores Silva (2004); Luz et al., (2006); Pinheiro (2010); Pascoal (2012); e Dyregrov et al., (2013) com a experiência prática de coordenação do grupo de apoio ao luto, observou-se que a referida perspectiva de trabalho é possível e se mostra positiva e inspiradora aos seus membros, uma vez que o compartilhamento das emoções num ambiente seguro de trocas mútuas parece promover o desenvolvimento e/ou o aprimoramento de habilidades para o reconhecimento dos sintomas e reações de luto como naturais deste processo, a fim de, ao longo do tempo de cada um, seja possível reinvestir na vida e no viver.

The Rural Areas Development Fund (RADF) is specified to be a part of special state and local budget funds in terms of “completing” land reform in Ukraine. The funds should be aimed at the development of local infrastructure, facilitation of local people’s access to health care and education services, support of small agricultural producers, etc. However, the sources for this Fund (RADF) is only slightly connected with land use results and other spatial resources in rural areas utilized by agricultural producers and do not include the necessity to provide their fair participation in the reproduction of these resources. The purpose of the article is to assess the formation sources of the Rural Areas Development Fund and justify their replenishment to financially ensure sustainable rural development based on spatial justice in land use. The concept of spatial justice in land use is revealed: it provides for adequate participation of agricultural producers, peasants, and society as a whole in the benefits of land use and other related spatial resources (water, air, landscapes, local infrastructure, etc.) and the equivalent contribution of these beneficiaries in resources reproduction. It is shown that corporate economic entities in agriculture rather extract spatial resources than contribute to their reproduction, however, the contribution of family and peasant farms in the financial base for rural development is significantly higher than agricultural enterprises. The necessity of per hectare payments to the Rural Areas Development Fund by agricultural producers leasing more than 100 hectares of agricultural land is substantiated; it is proposed that the rate of these payments in the amount of not less than 1 % of the normative monetary value of land should be set by local self-government bodies.

In Indonesia, the government invites business actors to jointly reduce greenhouse gas emissions through disclosure of carbon emissions. Disclosure of carbon emissions in Indonesia is still voluntary (voluntary disclosure), so not all companies disclose this information in their reports. The purpose of this article is to assess the impact of factors such as company size, profitability, company growth, environmental committees, and gender diversity on carbon emission disclosure by Indonesia’s manufacturing companies. For the study, the authors selected 16 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2014-2018. The activities of these companies are the subject of study. To measure the extent of the carbon emission disclosure, a checklist is developed based on the measurement sheet provided by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The CDP is an organisation based in the United Kingdom which supports companies and cities to disclose the environmental impact of major corporations. The main idea of the project is that environmental reporting and risk management should become a business norm in order to ensure sustainable development of the economy. The study results show that company size has an effect on the level of carbon emission disclosure. The bigger is the company – the greater is the pressure that results from its economic activities. Therefore, the government and the public pay more attention to such business entities. It prompts the company to disclose its carbon emissions. At the same time, such factors as profitability, company growth, environmental committee and gender diversity do not affect on carbon emission disclosure. It was found that the level of carbon emission disclosure among Indonesia’s manufacturing companies is very low, and therefore the government and society need to take measures to increase the responsibility of business entities for environmental pollution.

A field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Field Laboratory, Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Dumki, Patuakhali from July 2018 to November 2018 to evaluate the effect of sunflower residues and herbicides on the yield and economic performance of transplanted Aman rice. Weed control methods tested were T1 = weedy check (Unweeded control), T2 = Weed-free check by hand weeding twice, T3 = Pendimethalin, T4 = Pretilachlor, T5 = Butachlor, T6 = Pyrazosulfuron ethyl, T7 = Bensulfuron methyl + Acetachlor, T8 = Bispyriback sodium, T9 = 2,4-D amine, T10 = MCPA, T11 = Sunflower residues, T12 = Sunflower residues + 100% Pyrazosulfuron ethyl, T13 = Sunflower residues + 75% Pyrazosulfuron ethyl, T14 = Sunflower residues + 50% Pyrazosulfuron ethyl. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with fourteen treatments replicated thrice. Weedy check registered significantly the highest total weed density (354.67 m-2) and total weed dry matter (51.81 g-2) while weed-free treatment by hand weeding twice recorded significantly the lowest total weed density (6.67 m-2) and total weed dry matter 0.49 g-2) . Weedy check produced the highest weed index (34.24%) and hand weeding produced the lowest. Among different herbicides applied alone, butachlor had the lowest total weed density (15 m-2) and total weed dry matter (6.43 g-2) after hand weeding. Hand weeding recorded the highest grain yield (5.14 t ha-1) which was statistically similar to pendimethalin, pretilachlor, butachlor, bensulfuron methyl + acetachlor and sunflower residues + 100% pyrazosulfuron ethyl. Higher grain yield was attributed to a higher number of panicle m-2, number of filled grains panicle-1 and 1000-grain weight. The highest gross margin (22955 Tk. ha-1) and benefit-cost ratio (1.32) were obtained from butachlor. Integration of sunflower residues with pyrazosulfuron ethyl produced effective weed suppression and satisfactory yield comparable to butachlor. Although the integration is less profitable than butachlor the farmers can use this technology as a feasible and environmentally sound approach in transplanted Aman rice field.

Published: November 2020

Transformation of a wheat field from conventionally heavy tillage to stripplanting is beneficial considering soil health improvement and savings in cultivation cost. Therefore, an experiment was conducted at the experimental field of On-Farm Research Division, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur during Rabi season of 2017-18 and 2018-19 to evaluate some available post-emergence herbicides for managing weeds in strip-planted wheat var. BARI Gom-30 and to find out the most effective post-emergence herbicide and its suitable rate for controlling weeds under strip tillage system. Three postemergence herbicides (ethoxysulfuron, carfentrazone-ethyl plus isoproturon and carfentrazone-ethyl) were tested at their label rate and double of the label rate and their performance were compared with two times manual weeded control treatment. The study revealed that application of ethoxysulfuron at label rate and double of the label rate was effective for grass weed control, but not for broadleaf weeds. Application of carfentrazone-ethyl plus isoproturon both at label rate and double of the label rate was effective to control all types of weeds. Moreover, the highest grain and straw yields were recorded from label rate application of carfentrazone-ethyl plus isoproturon and its double rate application was also offered similar results in case of grain and straw yields. However; considering undetermined herbicide residual issue and having adverse effect on wheat leaves and finally on yield, the study discourages double of the label rate application of carfentrazone-ethyl plus isoproturon for managing weeds in wheat under strip tillage system.

Introduction: Toxic epidermal necrolysis is a severe, acute, mucocutaneous, life-threatening hypersensitivity syndrome with high mortality and bullous lesions on the skin, eyes and mucous membranes. It often develops due to drugs. Sulfonamide group antibiotics and antiepileptic drugs are the most commonly responsible agents. Allopurinol is a common cause of toxic epidermal necrolysis as in most drug reactions. Colchicine is widely used in dermatology and rheumatology and is generally known as an agent with a broad safety profile.
Case: Here we present a case of toxic epidermal necrolysis in our case with allopurinol, colchicine and alcohol use in order to draw attention to the increased risk of drug coexistence.
Conclusion: Again, we wanted to draw attention to the management of our case and the efficacy and safety of high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin therapy.

Authors: Ugur Yasin , Taslidere Bahadir
Published: November 2020

Hydatid cyst disease (hydatidosis or echinococcosis) is an important parasitic disease in all societies engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, where environmental health and preventive medicine measures are insufficient. There are four different types of echinococci. The most common ones are echinococcus granulosus, which causes cystic echinococcosis, and echinococcus multilocularis, which causes alveolar echinococcosis. Lung hydatid cyst is a zoonotic infection caused by larval forms (metacestode) of echinococcus granulosus. In our case, a 77-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department with cough sputum and high fever. Thorax tomography was performed for further examination and treatment. The patient was hospitalized for thoracic surgery. This case is presented to emphasize the importance of physical examination and imaging methods in patients presenting to the emergency department with classic upper respiratory tract infection or community-acquired pneumonia clinic.

Introduction
One of the potential complications of Extracorporeal Life Support is the arterial bleeding during decannulation. We present a case that describes the use of REBOA for hemorrhage control during femoral decannulation.

Case Report
42-old-male who was suffering from ARDS and cardiogenic shock was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit and Veno-arterial (VA) ECMO was commenced. On day 4, his cardiac performance improved and we decided that there was no longer a need for cardiac support with ECMO. Thus, a conversion from VA to Veno-venous (VV) ECMO was planned. An additional venous cannula was placed and the arterial cannula in the femoral artery was withdrawn and the femoral artery wall was repaired just after a Zone III total REBOA was achieved from the contralateral femoral artery. There were not any significant changes in blood pressure, heart rate, and lactate levels before and after the procedure.

Conclusion
REBOA might be a useful tool in the hands of non-vascular surgeons to avoid unintended bleeding during the decannulation of a large-bore arterial cannulae.

Introduction: Spinal angiolipoma is a rare clinical entity and usually presents with clinical signs and symptoms of spinal cord compression. It has two types; non-infiltrating and infiltrating. It is more common in females at the ages of 40-50 and at the mid-thoracic levels.
Case report: We discussed an incidentally diagnosed non-infiltrating angiolipoma in the lower thoracic spine level in a 33-year-old female patient who presented to the emergency department with severe low back pain after trauma in this case report.
Conclusion: Spinal angiolipoma should not be forgotten in the differential diagnoses of the patients presenting with severe back pain after trauma.
Importance of Clinical Suspicion in Rapid Diagnostic Test Negativity in Malaria: Two Case Reports
Authors: Gun Cem , Aldinc Hasan , Yaylaci Serpil , Ustun Cemal , Barbur Erol
Published: November 2020

Introduction: Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by infection with Plasmodium parasites. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have been used for the diagnosis of malaria without special equipment by unskilled personnel over the last 15 years. The treatment should only be given after the clinical diagnosis confirmed by RDT or microscopy. RDTs' specificity and sensitivity have been reported as >95% by the World Health Organization - Foundation for Initiative New Diagnostics (WHO-FIND).
Case Report: A 30-years-old male and a 23-years-old female presented to our emergency department with fever and history of a visit to a malaria-endemic country. Plasmodium trophozoites were seen in the blood smear samples via light microscopy. However, RDTs were negative. The patients were treated according to their pathogens.
Conclusion: Rarely, RDT might result in a false negative in the diagnosis of malaria. People travelling to endemic areas should be closely monitored. Emergency department physicians should not neglect microscopy which is the gold standard for diagnosis of malaria.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprising Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract. Since the treatment of IBD is still an unresolved issue, we designed our study to investigate the effect of a novel therapeutic target, sigma-1 receptor (σ1R), considering its ability to activate antioxidant molecules. As a model, 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) was used to induce colitis in Wistar–Harlan male rats. To test the beneficial effects of σ1R, animals were treated intracolonically (i.c.): (1) separately with an agonist (fluvoxamine (FLV)), (2) with an antagonist of the receptor (BD1063), or (3) as a co-treatment. Our results showed that FLV significantly decreased the severity of inflammation and increased the body weight of the animals. On the contrary, simultaneous treatment of FLV with BD1063 diminished the beneficial effects of FLV. Furthermore, FLV significantly enhanced the levels of glutathione (GSH) and peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1) and caused a significant reduction in 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) levels, the effects of which were abolished by co-treatment with BD1063. Taken together, our results suggest that the activation of σ1R in TNBS-induced colitis through FLV may be a promising therapeutic strategy, and its protective effect seems to involve the antioxidant pathway system.

Published: November 2020

The present study investigated iron molybdate (Fe2(MoO4)3), synthesized via a simple method, as a nanosorbent for methylene blue (MB) dye removal from aqueous solutions. Investigations of the effects of several parameters like contact time, adsorbent dose, initial dye concentration, temperature and pH were carried out. The results showed that MB removal was affected, significantly, by adsorbent dose and pH. Interestingly, lower values of adsorbent dose resulted in the removal of higher amounts of MB. At the optimum pH, the removal efficiency of 99% was gained with an initial MB concentration of ≤60 ppm. The kinetic study specified an excellent correlation of the experimental results with the pseudo-second-order kinetics model. Thermodynamic studies proved a spontaneous, favorable and endothermic removal. The maximum amount of removal capacity of MB dye was 6173 mg/g, which was determined from the Langmuir model. The removal efficiency was shown to be retained after three cycles of reuse, as proven by thermal regeneration tests. The presence and adsorption of the dye onto the Fe2(MoO4)3 nanoparticle surface, as well as the regeneration of the latter, was ascertained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). These findings are indicative that the investigated nanosorbent is an excellent candidate for the removal of MB in wastewater.
