Published: March 2024

As doenças cardiovasculares representam uma das principais causas de morbidade e mortalidade em todo o mundo. Embora fatores de estilo de vida desempenhem um papel crucial, a predisposição genética também desempenha um papel significativo na suscetibilidade individual a essas doenças. Estudos genéticos identificaram uma série de variantes genéticas associadas ao risco de desenvolver doenças cardiovasculares, incluindo hipertensão, doença arterial coronariana e acidente vascular cerebral. Essas variantes podem influenciar diversos aspectos, como metabolismo lipídico, regulação da pressão arterial e resposta inflamatória. Compreender essas influências genéticas pode ajudar na prevenção, diagnóstico e tratamento personalizado dessas doenças. No entanto, é importante reconhecer a interação complexa entre fatores genéticos e ambientais na determinação do risco cardiovascular. Além disso, genes envolvidos na resposta inflamatória, na coagulação sanguínea e na função endotelial foram identificados como influências genéticas importantes nas doenças cardiovasculares. Essas variantes genéticas não apenas aumentam o risco de desenvolver doenças cardiovasculares, mas também podem modular a gravidade e a progressão dessas condições. Compreender essas influências genéticas pode ter importantes implicações clínicas. Por exemplo, a identificação de variantes genéticas específicas pode ajudar na estratificação de risco cardiovascular e na identificação de indivíduos com maior probabilidade de se beneficiar de intervenções preventivas, como modificações no estilo de vida ou terapias farmacológicas direcionadas. No entanto, é importante reconhecer que a predisposição genética para doenças cardiovasculares é influenciada por uma interação complexa entre fatores genéticos e ambientais. Portanto, uma abordagem integrada que leve em consideração tanto os fatores genéticos quanto os fatores de estilo de vida são essenciais para uma abordagem eficaz na prevenção e no tratamento dessas doenças.

EXPLORATION OF AI TECHNOLOGY APPLICATION IN REHABILITATION PROFESSIONAL COURSE DESIGN BASED ON OBE
Authors: Katherine Ning LI
Published: March 2024

Based on the concept of Outcome-Based Education (OBE), this study explores the application of AI technology in the instructional design and implementation of rehabilitation professional courses. The research adopts a combination of literature analysis, case studies, and teaching experiments. It designs an outcome-oriented teaching plan for rehabilitation courses that integrates AI technology and conducts a small-scale practice to verify the feasibility of the plan. The study finds that the OBE concept is highly compatible with AI technology. AI technology can effectively support precise curriculum system design based on outcome requirements, immersive digital teaching implementation, targeted evaluation and feedback, and comprehensively promote the achievement of learning outcomes. Therefore, AI technology should be widely applied in curriculum instructional design to better realize the OBE concept. The effective integration of the OBE concept and AI technology is an important direction for upgrading the teaching model, which is worth further exploration and practice. Subsequent research can continue to expand the application areas of this model, enrich specific implementation strategies, and conduct large-sample application effect verification to provide support for scale-up and promotion.

Published: March 2024

Aim: To examine the impact of locally applied tranexamic acid and adrenaline, separately and in combination, on intraoperative blood loss and surgical field quality during functional endoscopic sinus surgery.
Materials and Methods: The study involved 40 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. They were divided into two groups. Group I received adrenaline alone in one side and a mixture of adrenaline and tranexamic acid in the other side. Group II received adrenaline alone in one side and tranexamic acid in the otherside. Parameters like surgery time, blood loss, and surgical field quality were studied.
Results: In Group I, the combination of adrenaline and tranexamic acid significantly reduced blood loss and enhanced surgical field quality compared to adrenaline alone. In Group II, adrenaline outperformed tranexamic acid in shortening surgery duration and improving surgical field quality. However, there was no significant difference in blood loss reduction between adrenaline and tranexamic acid.
Conclusions: The study concluded that tranexamic acid is less effective than adrenaline when introduced as topical intranasal pledgets in both decreasing the time needed for the surgery and improving the subjective satisfaction of the surgeon while there is no significant difference regarding decreasing intraoperative blood loss. The mixture of adrenaline and tranexamic acid pledgets are more effective than adrenaline-only pledgets in terms of decreasing the intraoperative blood loss and improving the surgeon’s satisfaction with no significant difference regarding the time needed for the surgery.

Published: March 2024

Aim: To study the stability of surface-modified dental implants, with the usage of sandblasting/acid modification vs. photoactivation.
Materials and Methods: In the observation were included 164 patients with dental defects. All patients had digital impressions taken by scanning the oral cavity with an intraoral scanner 3Shape TRIOSR. Group A (80 subjects) included implants whose surface was modified with a combination of sandblasting and acid. Group B (84 subjects) - implants after modification with photoactivation. The implant stability quotient was recorded using an Osstell MentorTM device.
Results: The reliable effectiveness of the photoactivation method in complex treatment of the surface of dental implants in improving the stability of fixed dentures in the short and long-term periods of observation was proven. When assessing immediate clinical outcomes, there was no significant difference in the frequency of hyperemia, algesia, hyperthermia, soft tissue edema, regional lymphadenitis, depending on the classical method of treating the implant surface and the complex method with photoactivation. Of the long-term clinical outcomes with classical surface treatment, the absolute risk of implant failure was 1.2%, relative risk – 0,99 [CI%0,96-1,0]. The average value of the implant stability coefficient (ISQ) and the data of the Periotest study at the time of surgery probably did not differ in the observation groups, after 3 months, a higher index was proven in the treatment of the surface by the method of photoactivation and greater stability of the mandibular implants. At the time of implantation, there were no statistically significant differences in implant fixation between the groups, however, during prospective observation in group A, secondary stability indicators based on periotestometry results were significantly lower.
Conclusions: It was proved the reliable effectiveness of the photoactivation-method for surface modification in the short and long-term periods of observation for improving the results of orthodontically treatment.

Published: March 2024

Aim: To identify the medical management determinants of the maxillofacial precancerous and benign diseases malignancy
Materials and Methods: 150 people with maxillofacial cancer and 100 people with precancerous and benign diseases of the same localization were interviewed.
Results: There were revealed: a low percentage of detection during check-up (10.2-15.8%), more than a third of cases (35.8-37.4%) are diagnosed by chance; not all patients undergo histological verification of the diagnosis (25.7% in cancerous and 43.2% in precancerous and benign diseases); not all are under follow up observation (24.7-27.7%). The risk of precancerous and benign diseases malignancy is the highest at 40-59 years of age (OR=4.4; 95% CI: 1.9-10.5), andalso increases with the duration of the disease for more than 5 years (2.2; 1.2-4.10 ), in patients who didn’t undergo histological verification (2.2; 1.3-3.8), don’t follow doctors’ recommendation on visits and treatment (2.4; 1.4-4.1), don’t trust doctors and are dissatisfied with medical care (2.1; 1.3-3.6). The risk groups of the maxillofacial oncological, precancerous and benign diseases are men, who are 1.5 times more likely to suffer from them than women and are characterized by lower medical care activity. The risk factors of the maxillofacial precancerous and benign diseases malignancy are low financial (4.6; 1.7-12.4) and territorial (3.3; 1.1-10.3) accessibility of medical care, including dental care (2.8; 1.6-4.8).
Conclusions: It is necessary to improve the prevention and medical care in order to advance the early detection of maxillofacial cancer, taking into account the established medical management determinants of malignancy.

The article presents materials from research on the use of Dahurian larch bark extract in the nutrition of weaned piglets, as an activation of metabolic processes, increasing pathogenetic resistance and preventing diarrhea. The studies were carried out on the pig farm of the collective farm in Kaluga region. on two groups of large white x landrace crossbred piglets during the growing period after weaning until placement for fattening lasting 70 days. Based on the principle of analogues, two groups of weaned piglets were formed: control and experimental. Piglets in the control group received standard complete feed. The piglets of the experimental group received larch bark extract powder, 4 g per head per day, as part of their general diet. The use of larch bark extract in feeding piglets contributed to an increase in the body's adaptive capacity, pathogenetic resistance and correction of metabolic processes, which ensured a higher realization of the genetic potential of pigs. Thus, in the blood serum of piglets receiving larch bark extract. the total protein content was 72.6 g/l, which was higher than that of the control by 5.7%, mainly due to the albumin fraction. In piglets of the experimental group, the serum creatinine content was 6.4% higher. They also significantly improved the functional state of the liver, as indicated by a twofold decrease in the bilirubin content in the blood serum (P<0.01). Changes in metabolism in piglets of the experimental group had a positive effect on the productivity and safety of the livestock. Thus, during the 70-day period of application of Daurian larch bark extract, the gross gain of piglets was 33.1 kg with an average daily gain of 473 g versus 28.1 kg and 416 g, respectively, in the control, which was 13.7% higher.

Seni Majaz Dalam Bahasa Melayu: Analisis Berdasarkan Ilmu Balaghah Arab
Authors: Hj Zakaria Gamal Abd Nasir , Abdul Abu Hassan , Abd Rahman Mohd Zaki , Twahir @ H.Tahir Wahibah
Published: March 2024

Makalah ini bertujuan membincangkan seni majaz dalam bahasa Melayu berdasarkan kerangka ilmu balaghah Arab. Perbincangan ini penting kerana sehingga kini konsep, kategori dan bentuk majaz dalam bahasa Melayu belum tersusun dalam suatu kesatuan ilmu yang jelas dan sistematik khususnya dalam pengajian ilmu retorik. Perkembangan semasa menunjukkan bidang retorik semakin tersisih dalam pengajian linguistik dan kesusasteraan Melayu disebabkan kurangnya inovasi untuk merekayasa disiplin ini agar lebih menampakkan kedinamikan dan kerelevanannya dengan pandangan alam dan budaya Melayu yang tulen. Kajian berbentuk kualitatif dan kontrastif ini menggunakan data seni majaz dari sumber al-Quran dan melihat persamaannya dalam komunikasi penutur Melayu di media massa dan perbualan harian. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan terdapat banyak persamaan berbanding perbezaan antara seni majaz dalam bahasa Arab dan bahasa Melayu. Dapatan ini sekaligus membuktikan potensi besar majaz berdasarkan tradisi Arab ini diperkasakan dalam sistem retorik Melayu sebagai pembaharuan terhadap retorik tradisi Barat. Keberhasilan meletakkan seni majaz sebagai sebahagian daripada ciri dalam sistem retorik Melayu diharap akan menjadi titik tolak kepada penerokaan ciri-ciri lain dalam disiplin ini supaya nanti akan terhasil satu disipin retorik Melayu versi baharu yang dapat menggambarkan falsafah keindahan bahasa Melayu yang sebenarnya.

Tinjauan yang dijalankan oleh Kementerian Pendidikan Singapura menunjukkan peningkatan penggunaan bahasa Inggeris dalam kalangan murid darjah satu di rumah berlaku dalam kalangan keluarga Melayu daripada 18 peratus pada tahun 1999 kepada 67 peratus pada tahun 2019. Hal ini menyebabkan murid kurang atau tidak mendapat pendedahan kepada persekitaran yang sesuai untuk bertutur bahasa Melayu justeru tidak dapat bertutur bahasa Melayu dengan fasih. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneroka penggunaan Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Berasaskan Tugasan (PPBT) yang diubahsuai daripada model PPBT Ellis dan Model PPBT Willis untuk meningkatkan motivasi murid belajar dan bertutur bahasa Melayu di sekolah. Melalui tugasan yang menjadi elemen utama PPBT, murid akan berpeluang menggunakan bahasa Melayu secara aktif. Kajian tinjauan ini menggunakan seramai 30 orang murid daripada sebuah sekolah rendah. Mereka telah diajar dengan menggunakan kaedah PPBT yang diubahsuai ini selama lima minggu. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah soal selidik. Respons daripada soal selidik menunjukkan 100% daripada murid yang berasa terangsang untuk belajar dan bertutur dalam bahasa Melayu. Mereka juga percaya bahawa mereka akan dapat bertutur dengan lebih baik sekiranya mereka terus melakukan tugasan dengan giat lagi. 100% juga menyatakan bahawa mereka berasa seronok melakukan tugasan yang diberikan dan akan melakukan tugasan-tugasan itu jika diberikan peluang lagi. Kesimpulannya, PPBT dpat digunakan untuk meningkatkan motivasi dan keyakinan untuk berutur bahasa Melayu dalam kalangan murid sekolah rendah.

Published: March 2024

Isu kesantunan berbahasa dalam melakukan penolakan amat penting sebagai cerminan budaya masyarakat Melayu. Berlandaskan aspek seni penolakan, kajian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis strategi penolakan Melayu dalam melakukan penolakan antara golongan raja dengan raja. Berdasarkan Teks Sulalat Al-Salatin, kajian ini dianalisis secara deskriptif menggunakan Teori Kesantunan Brown dan Levinson (1987). Berdasarkan Strategi Kesantunan Positif dan Strategi Kesantunan Negatif ini, analisis kajian yang dikaji dilihat bahawa cara penolakan masyarakat Melayu ini telah lama dipraktikkan pada zaman Kesultanan Melayu dahulu cuma istilah yang digunakan berbeza dengan istilah barat dan Islam. Hal ini demikian kerana sifat budi dalam berbahasa sememangnya dititikberatkan dalam masyarakat Melayu. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa masyarakat Melayu pada zaman dahulu mempunyai strategi yang santun dalam melakukan penolakan. Kesantunan dalam kehidupan masyarakat Melayu tidak hanya terbatas dengan perlakuan bahasa sahaja, bahkan turut melibatkan perlakuan adat.
