Published: January 2019

The objective of rhe study was to identify the features of the daily sinus rhythm variability (HRV), affecting the manifestations of the antihypertensive effect of b-adrenergic blockers and to establish the connection of this effect with the dynamics of the daily HRV. Material and methods. 52 patients with grade 1-2 degree essential arterial hypertension (32 to 60 years old - 21 men and 31 women) underwent general clinical and functional examination using bifunctional monitoring of ECG and blood pressure before and after treatment with carvedilol, nebivolol and bisoprolol. Monitor daily mean systolic (MSAD) and diastolic (MDAD) pressure were assessed in comparison with the distribution of heart rate during the day and the amount of HRV corresponding to different ranges of heart rate. Results. The initial average group values of the MSAD and MDAD parameters and the HR distribution during the day were equal in groups in groups with achieved (ABP) and not achieved (NABP) target blood pressure levels. Achievement of target levels of mean daily blood pressure (SBP≤130 mm Hg and DBP≤80 mm Hg) is associated with the initial quantitative parameters of daily HRV, corresponding to different ranges of HR. Differences between HRV in the ABP and NABP groups appear in the HR ranges of less than 75 beats/min: the initial values of HRV are greater in the ABP group than in the NABP group. In the range of heart rates 69-75 beats/min, the differences in HRV values become significant. As a result of therapy, the initially high mean group values of HRV in the ABP group decrease, while in the NABP group they remain unchanged. Conclusion. With initially high values of HRV in the heart rate range of 69-75 beats/min, the likelihood of a decrease in blood pressure to the target level during treatment with b-adrenergic blockers increases

Chronic myocardial damage in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension: a clinical case
Authors: Bykov A N , Arkhipov M V , Klimusheva N F , Iofin A I , Krokhalev V Ya
Published: January 2019

Chronic myocardial injury, determined by a constantly elevated cardiac troponin (cTn) value, may occur in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), indicating the severity of the disease and associated with an adverse prognosis. Increasing of cTn among patients with PAH was registered prior to 2018, but after the Fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction (2018) was released the understanding of this phenomenon has been changed. One of the causes of chronic myocardial injury in patients with PAH is the compression of coronary arteries. Left main coronary artery (LMCA) compression is an uncommon and probably underestimated cause for angina-like chest pain and ventricular dysfunction in patients with severe pulmonary artery hypertension. LMCA compression by an enlarged pulmonary artery trunk has been associated with angina, but appropriate diagnostic and treatment approaches remain poorly defined. This is a case report on a woman with idiopathic PAH and compression of the LMCA by an enlarged pulmonary artery. The diagnosis of LMCA stenosis was confirmed by multi-slice computed tomography and coronary angiography. Biomarkers such as cTn and brain natriuretic peptide have also been identified as criteria of optimal treatment. Percutaneous coronary intervention in conjunction with PAH-specific therapy appears to be a feasible, safe, and effective treatment option for patients with extrinsic compression of the LMCA from pulmonary artery enlargement
Advantages of control over the course of hypertension disease with the fixed combination of amlodipine and perindoprilе arginin
Authors: Alyokhina O D , Chesnokova I V
Published: January 2019

Background. To improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients with essential hypertension, it is necessary to search for combinations of antihypertensive drugs that can affect all parameters of blood pressure (BP) and restrict remodeling of target organs. Aim. To study the effect of free and fixed combination of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (perindopril arginine) and dihydropyridine calcium antagonist (amlodipine) on BP parameters, target organs damage criteria and quality of life of hypertensive patients. Materials and methods. The study included 92 patients suffering from arterial hypertension (AH) II and III stages. The 1st group included patients who received within 12 months treatment in a free combination of an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (perindopril arginine) and amlodipine, in the 2nd group - in a fixed combination. The changes in BP indices were compared, including BP variability, criteria for target organs remodeling and quality of life assessed using the SF-36 questionnaire. Results. The results of office and 24-hour BP monitoring at the study stages demonstrated better control of all BP indices in patients of the 2nd group, reduction of short-, medium- and long-term BP variability. Against the background of treatment with a fixed combination of amlodipine and perindopril arginine, there were significantly more significant changes in 3 parameters of target organs remodeling: glomerular filtration rate, microalbuminuria, ankle-brachial index, and restoration of diastolic function of the left ventricle. At the same time, different positive dynamics of the quality of life indicators of patients of both study groups were noted. Conclusion. Fixed combined full-dose antihypertensive therapy with amlodipine and perindopril arginine allows achieving BP targets (including BP variability) in the majority of patients with AH II and III stages with high and very high risk of cardiovascular complications. High adherence to therapy allowed not only to maintain all parameters of blood pressure at the target level within a year, but also significantly improve the parameters of target organs remodeling and the quality of life of patients
KIF18A's neck linker permits navigation of microtubule-bound obstacles within the mitotic spindle
Authors: Malaby Heidi LH , Lessard Dominique V , Berger Christopher L , Stumpff Jason
Published: January 2019

KIF18A (kinesin-8) is required for mammalian mitotic chromosome alignment. KIF18A confines chromosome movement to the mitotic spindle equator by accumulating at the plus-ends of kinetochore microtubule bundles (K-fibers), where it functions to suppress K-fiber dynamics. It is not understood how the motor accumulates at K-fiber plus-ends, a difficult feat requiring the motor to navigate protein dense microtubule tracks. Our data indicate that KIF18A's relatively long neck linker is required for the motor's accumulation at K-fiber plus-ends. Shorter neck linker (sNL) variants of KIF18A display a deficiency in accumulation at the ends of K-fibers at the center of the spindle. Depletion of K-fiber–binding proteins reduces the KIF18A sNL localization defect, whereas their overexpression reduces wild-type KIF18A's ability to accumulate on this same K-fiber subset. Furthermore, single-molecule assays indicate that KIF18A sNL motors are less proficient in navigating microtubules coated with microtubule-associated proteins. Taken together, these results support a model in which KIF18A's neck linker length permits efficient navigation of obstacles to reach K-fiber ends during mitosis.

On 18 January 2016, the French National Reference Centre for Salmonella reported to Santé publique France an excess of Salmonella enterica serotype Dublin (S. Dublin) infections. We investigated to identify the source of infection and implement control measures. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and multilocus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) were performed to identify microbiological clusters and links among cases, animal and food sources. Clusters were defined as isolates with less than 15 single nucleotide polymorphisms determined by WGS and/or with identical MLVA pattern. We compared different clusters of cases with other cases (case–case study) and controls recruited from a web-based cohort (case–control study) in terms of food consumption. We interviewed 63/83 (76%) cases; 2,914 controls completed a questionnaire. Both studies’ findings indicated that successive S. Dublin outbreaks from different sources had occurred between November 2015 and March 2016. In the case–control study, cases of distinct WGS clusters were more likely to have consumed Morbier (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 14; 95% confidence interval (CI): 4.8–42) or Vacherin Mont d’Or (aOR: 27; 95% CI: 6.8–105), two bovine raw-milk cheeses. Based on these results, the Ministry of Agriculture launched a reinforced control plan for processing plants of raw-milk cheeses in the production region, to prevent future outbreaks.

Dynamic Weights Equations for Converting Grayscale Image to RGB Image
Authors: Hantoush Alrubaie Shymaa Akram , Hameed Ahmed Hasan
Published: January 2019

The method of converting color images from the RGB color system to grayscale images is a simple operation by using the fixed weights method of conversion, but using the same weights to restore the color of the same images is not an effective operation of all types of images because the grayscale image contains little information and it isn't worthy of conversion operation.

The basic idea in this paper is to employ the mathematics equations which extracted from the grayscale image in conversion operation, this paper presents the method of coloring the grayscale image by using the weights derived from the characteristics of the grayscale image. Skewness, Mean and Standard deviation moments have been extracted from the features of grayscale images and its adoption the determine weights of the RGB color system. This method proved its success in coloring images compared to the traditional method adoption of fixed weights for coloring images because it relies on fixed weights for converting all grayscale images.

Authors: AL Hussainey Afrah M. , Ibrahem Salar Hussein , ALShafie Talib M. Abbas
Published: January 2019

The absorption and fluorine spectra of dissolved fluorescein solution in ethanol and different concentrations were studied. The optical properties(absorbance, permeability, linear absorption, and refractive index, as well as time and fluoridation)were calculated. The results showed that a decrease in concentration leads to a decrease in absorption values and an increase in permeability values. This results in a decrease in the values of the absorption coefficient and refractive index. This is in accordance with Lambert's law. Also, the values of the fluorine are lower. The top of the emission spectrum is transferred to the longer wavelengths. The temporal age of fluoride decreases and the quantitative output increases, thus using this dye as an effective laser medium in liquid state lasers. The infrared spectroscopy of the dye was also studied using the (Gaussian 9) program.

APRESENTAÇÃO DA PRIMEIRA EDIÇÃO
O JUSPOSITIVISMO EM BENTHAN, AUSTIN, KELSEN, ROSS E HART
Authors: Friede Reis
Published: January 2019

O debate que envolve o Jusnaturalismo e o Juspositivismo tem inspirado as reflexões de juristas e filósofos. Muito embora se possa afirmar que grande parte das históricas controvérsias associadas ao confronto entre o Direito Positivo e o Direito Natural já tenham sido superadas, subsistem inúmeros aspectos que merecem uma dedicação acadêmica. Não obstante opiniões divergentes, as quais pugnam pelo enfraquecimento teórico do assunto, o passar dos séculos demonstra justamente o contrário, posto não ter conseguido eliminar a estima dos pensadores pela temática ora desenvolvida. Deste modo, o presente artigo discorre sobre as contribuições teóricas formuladas por Bentham, Austin, Kelsen, Ross e Hart para o Positivismo Jurídico.

COMO ENTENDER HEIDEGGER? OS TEOREMAS DA DIFERENÇA ONTOLÓGICA E DO CÍRCULO HERMENÊUTICO
Authors: Mello Cleyson De Moraes
Published: January 2019

A hermenêutica filosófica em Heidegger assume um viés transformador. Daí a necessidade de compreender os teoremas da diferença ontológica e do círculo hermenêutico a partir do ser-no-mundo. É, neste sentido que, em face da flagrante inefetividade da hermenêutica clássica, originariamente metodológica, torna-se necessária à construção de uma resistência teórica que aponte para a construção das condições de possibilidade da compreensão de sentido, como modo de ser-no-mundo.
POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS E TUTELA COLETIVA
Authors: Nascimento Sara Do
Published: January 2019

O presente artigo analisa o problema de falta de vagas em creches e pré-escolas no município do Rio de Janeiro/RJ, com enfoque no fenômeno da judicialização de políticas públicas no estado brasileiro. O controle judicial de políticas públicas tem sofrido severas críticas, tais como: representar uma usurpação de competências, afrontar aos princípios constitucionais da separação, atacar a autonomia e independência dos poderes, bem como aos princípios da proporcionalidade e razoabilidade. No entanto, o descumprimento de políticas públicas definidas na Constituição é hipótese legitimadora da intervenção jurisdicional. O controle judicial destas políticas é fundamentado pelo sistema de freios e contrapesos, exercido pelo Poder Judiciário sobre os Poderes Executivo e Legislativo
