Medical use of finererone in patients with diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease
Authors: Severino Rafael Silva
Published: February 2024

Chronic hyperglycemia is one of the factors that contributes significantly to the complications associated with diabetes mellitus. Excess glucose causes an imbalance in cellular oxidation/reduction reactions, as well as systemic inflammation and inflammation in the renal parenchyma, playing a critical role in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease, which today is the main reason for dialysis (hemodialysis/peritoneal) in the world. The pathogenesis of the disease is a difficult process to understand and is integrated with other organic and systematic factors; despite the different mechanisms involved in diabetes mellitus-related kidney damage, the biochemical and cellular mechanisms involving the oxidative and inflammatory pathways are widely recognized by science. There is evidence that the persistent state of hyperglycemia triggers oxidative stress and inflammation mediated by deregulated metabolic pathways, in a cycle that repeats itself, promoting the progression of cell damage and kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an extremely serious condition that is often underdiagnosed. It is one of the most frequent and serious complications of diabetes. More than 40% of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus develop CKD. Despite the existence of therapies recommended by the guidelines, patients with CKD and type 2 diabetes have a high risk of CKD progression and cardiovascular events with unfavorable outcomes. It is estimated that CKD affects more than 160 million people with diabetes worldwide. Chronic kidney disease resulting from type 2 diabetes is one of the main causes of advanced kidney disease, requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation. For these reasons, science has set itself the goal of conducting serious and impactful studies into the evolution of kidney disease, in which the key points are the use of drugs aimed at reducing the severity and the rapid natural history of the disease, which as a rule evolves into outcomes that are not always favorable to the patient. Many scientific studies have advanced in this century with an important impact on medicine, such as the FIGARO-DKD and FIDELIO-DKD studies, which seriously analyzes the impact and relevance of the use of mineralcorticoid receptor antagonists, specifically finerenone, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease.
Cosmic vacuum energy with thermodynamic and gravodynamic action power
Authors: J Fahr Hans
Published: February 2024

In this paper we investigate the suspected effect of cosmic vacuum energy on the dynamics of cosmic space, while nevertheless still now the phenomenon of vacuum energy is not yet physically settled in a rigorous form. In view of what one needs for general relativistic approaches, we start here with considerations of the specific energy-momentum tensor of cosmic vacuum energy in the standard hydrodynamical form, and derive relations between vacuum energy density and vacuum pressure. With the help of fundamental thermodynamic relations we then find relations of the two quantities, vacuum pressure and energy density, to the scale R of the universe. These, however, allow for a multitude of power exponents n , including the case of a constant vacuum energy density with n=0 and Rn=const. Then we argue that for spaces of cosmic dimensions not only thermodynamical relations have to be fulfilled, but also, as we call them "gravodynamical relations", meaning that vacuum pressure has to work against the inner gravitational binding of space, mostly due to the gravitating masses distributed in this cosmic space. When we include this effect in addition to the thermodynamics we find that the vacuum energy density ρΛ then can not anymore be considered as constant, but unavoidably as falling off with the scale of the universe according R−2 . At the end of this article we then suspect, since vacuum energy even nowadays is not yet a physically well founded and understood quantity, that the Hubble expansion of the present universe is not driven by vacuum pressure, but by the change of gravitational binding energy at the ongoing structure formation of cosmic matter during the Hubble expansion.
Narrativa y relato pedagógico
Authors: Barrera Quiroga Diego Mauricio
Published: February 2024

El concepto de narrativa abarca todo un sistema de red conversacional que permite establecer relaciones a partir de relatos; es decir, narrar equivale a producir enunciados, básicamente, con cierta intención comunicativa. Por eso, en este artículo me valdré de dichas nociones para mostrar una propuesta de análisis e interpretación que permita abordar los registros y las experiencias relatadas por la profesora Betty en la zona de conflicto armado del Caquetá. Metodológicamente, me apoyé con el manejo detallado de la información, de tal forma que se pudiera identificar los hilos de significación ante cada acontecimiento visible en el relato. Finalmente, no pretendo solamente presentar un corpus, sino atender las temáticas emergentes, fisuras o extrañezas a través del análisis narrativo interaccional.

Published: February 2024

The importance of a scientific collection is related to the preservation quality of its specimens. Specimens that have been properly preserved may contain more quantity and quality of data than neglected specimens. The objective of this study was to determine the curation status of the specimens of the order Coleoptera in the Invertebrate Collection of the Charles Darwin Research Station (ICCDRS) of the Charles Darwin Foundation, Santa Cruz Island, Galápagos, Ecuador. Our diagnostics of the collection included the analysis of ten metrics of 9201 dry-pinned beetles. We found that 8612 specimens are in optimal conditions, and damaged specimens are randomly distributed in the collection, indicating that handling and storage are appropriate. 83% of the beetles are identified as species, and 85% of the specimens have been assigned a catalog number. These results indicate a very good curation status of this growing collection. Additionally, we discuss future directions to improve the curatorial process of this collection and incentivize its scientific use.

Background and aims

COVID-19 lockdowns limited access to gambling but simultaneously elevated psychosocial stressors. This study assessed the relative effects of these changes on gambling risk status during and after the Australian COVID-19 lockdown from late-March to late-May 2020.

Methods

The study administered three surveys to people who had gambled within the past year at T1. Wave 1 asked about before (T1, N = 2,125) and during lockdown (T2, N = 2,125). Subsequent surveys focused on one year (T3; N = 649) and two years after lockdown (T4, N = 458). The dependent variable was changes in reporting any problem gambling symptoms (PGSI 0 vs 1+). Bivariate analyses and multinomial logistic regression tested for significant associations with: demographics, psychosocial stressors (perceived stress, psychological distress, loneliness, health anxiety about COVID, financial hardship, stressful life events), gambling participation and gambling frequency.

Results

Gambling participation and at-risk gambling decreased between T1 and T2, increased at T3, with little further change at T4. When gambling availability was curtailed, decreased gambling frequency on EGMs, casino games, sports betting or race betting, and lower psychosocial stress, were associated with transitions from at-risk to non-problem gambling. When gambling availability resumed, increased EGM gambling frequency, decreased online gambling frequency, and higher psychosocial stress were associated with transitions from non-problem to at-risk gambling.

Discussion and conclusions

Gambling availability appears a stronger influence on gambling problems, at the population level, than psychosocial risk factors. Reducing the supply of high-risk gambling products, particularly EGMs, is likely to reduce gambling harm.

Published: February 2024

The tradition of tahfidz (memorizing the Koran) is exist since the time of the Prophet Muhammad. which the Prophet had exemplified with his companions. In Indonesia itself, the journey of the tahfidz tradition goes through three main periods, namely pre-independence, post-independence to the Reformation era (MTQ 1981). In pre-independence, there were 5 sanad that had a role in the spread of tahfidz al-Qur'an and were a source of hufadz in tahfidz institutions/pesantren, including KH. Muhammad Said bin Ismail Sampang, Madura, KH. Munawaar from Sidayu, Gresik, Muhammad Mahfudz at-Tarmasi. Termas Pacitan, KH. Muhammad Munawwir Krapyak, Yogyakarta and KH. M. Dahlan Khalil from Rejoso, Jombang. After independence, a new Tahfidz institution emerged, which was pioneered by KH. Muntaha (1912-2004 AD) Pesantren Al 'Asy'ariyah Wonosobo-Central Java and KH. Yusuf Junaidi (1921-1987) Bogor. Over time, the Tahfidz Institute was formed after the Musabaqah Hifdzil Quran (MHQ) developed on the islands of Java and Sulawesi, so since 1981 until now almost all regions in the archipelago.
Distance Education: An Analysis of Learning Theories in an E-learning Environment
Authors:   University of Rzeszów, Polska, Tuczyński Krystian
Published: February 2024

The article concerns theoretical considerations on psychological concepts of learning in the context of e-learning. The author begins the theoretical analysis by reviewing the literature, including behavioural, cognitive and humanistic theories. Based on a detailed analysis, cognitivism is indicated as a theory that has particular application in e-learning, especially due to the continuity of the teaching process and adapting the content to the student’s level. An example of a cognitive model is D. Kolb’s model, which can be effectively used in e-learning because it includes closed cognitiveexperimental processes. The basic argument for adopting cognitive theories as dominant in e-learning is their ability to maintain the continuity of the educational process, which can be effectively implemented via e-learning platforms. A key element connecting cognitive theories with e-learning is the Multiple Coding Theory, which suggests that the transfer of knowledge becomes more effective when it takes place through different channels, enabling reception through several senses.

Authors:   Kyrgyz State University of Law, Omuralieva Kunduz
Published: February 2024

The article talks about the role of borrowing words in the Russian language, which contributes to the rapid development and improvement of students' speech skills and abilities, while making the lessons exciting and varied. In addition, the study of borrowed words affects the assimilation of educational material, the formation of the moral sphere of the student's personality, the enrichment of his spiritual culture and the replenishment of vocabulary. It is important to draw students' attention to the deep connection between the language and culture of the Russian people. We must not forget that some borrowing can only harm the quality of speech, like accuracy and clarity. Therefore, in order not to make a negative impression on the interlocutor and not to show a level of ignorance, you need to remember the problems of borrowing words.

Published: February 2024

The article mainly deals with the study of the content of the socio-cultural component of American English to students and the study of its selection criteria. There are various cultural difficulties in learning American English. It would be wise to mention here, it is necessary to master the language and culture in this area and to study it extensively. It becomes obvious that special attention should be paid to the selection criteria of the socio-cultural component in the study of American English. Am matter of a fact, the study of selection criteria is as important as the process of teaching a foreign language in parallel with the teaching of culture. Therefore, learning a foreign language cannot be considered completely successful without conducting it in parallel with mastering the relevant culture. In this regard, the article is concerned with the selection criteria for the American English language based on the analysis of the views of leading foreign language researchers.

Published: February 2024

The article analyzes the change in the social status of women in the context of the socio- political, economic and socio-cultural transformations that occurred during the transition from traditional to modern society. For a long time, the place and role of women was assigned to the care of the household and the reproduction of the family as the guardian of the family hearth. In turn, the formation of democratic statehood, the intensive development of the economy contributed to the expansion of women's rights, but did not, in general, solve the problem of gender inequality. The authors of the scientific article tried to take a conceptual look at the problem of the gradual emancipation of Kyrgyz women, considered taking into account the factors of the socio-cultural and political development of society.

In this article the story of the writer and philosopher Ch. Aitmatov “Jamiyla” is considered in the context of the philosophy of gender (philosophy of women and men). Many peoples of the world including the Kyrgyz patriarchal culture gave priority to men and women considered as a passive object. Through the figure of Jamiyla Ch. Aitmatov showed a beautiful nature of Kyrgyz women as a self-confident human being who is entitled to all rights. Identifying the women as not passive object but active human Ch. Aitmatov proves the existence of radical feminism and gender theory in the real life. Keywords: рatriarchal culture, feminism, gender relations, individual subjectivity.
Criminal Prosecution of Political Leaders: Narrative Analysis of Modern Power Elite Crimes
Authors: Kirilenko Viktor , Alekseev Georgy
Published: February 2024

Political stories about deceit, terror and contract killings have a significant impact on the legal and political culture of all the nations. Crime narratives have the potential to fundamentally change international relations and national politics. From the description of the policy of violence pursued by Qin Shi Huang in ancient China to the criminal legends about Rodrigo Borgia in Rome, from the Sarajevo assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand on June 28, 1914 to the death of Salvador Allende on September 11, 1973 in Chile, we observe an aura of mystery around the motives of political crime and note the constant drama of the power struggle. Digital transformation has changed the format of criminal political stories by creating multimedia narratives around political leaders. It turned a traditional political detective story into a postmodern tragicomedy. The influence of end-to-end digital technologies on the modus operandi of terrorists, corrupt officials and political adventurers is due to the new opportunities that virtual reality provides for creating an image of the enemy in the political consciousness of the electorate. Stories about crimes possibly committed by the leaders of the party in power, and narratives about the betrayal of national interests by the opposition compete for the attention of the audience, whose worldview is becoming increasingly disenchanted in the context of a correspondence dialogue between Niccolo Machiavelli and Max Weber on the methods of legitimizing domination. Power elite’s crimes studied by narrative research methods reveal special patterns of actions of the party in power against the key opposition figures and vice versa, driven by their desire to destroy each other’s reputation. The analysis of political crime narratives confirms the hypothesis that the digital transformation of politics encourages the use of criminal narratives instead of physical violence in an attempt to defame and eliminate political leaders.
International Legal Regulation of Counteracting Transnational Crime Within the Modern Trend of Regionalization
Authors: Khizhnyak Veronika , Astakhova Ekaterina
Published: February 2024

The article examines the relationship between regionalization and globalization at the present stage, identifies trends in the development of regionalization, as well as gaps in the international legal regulation of combating transnational crime in the SCO and CIS regions. The relevance of the fight against transnational crime in the modern conditions of the implementation of the state foreign policy of the Russian Federation and the development of regionalization processes is noted. Statistics on transnational crimes that affect the regions of the SCO, the CIS and the immediate territory of the Russian Federation are presented, and the wave-like dynamics in the number of these crimes is revealed. The relevance of the fight against transnational crime is, among other things, associated with the growing number of crimes of terrorist and extremist nature. The authors point out the need to conduct statistical studies of the number of transnational crimes and their individual types in order to establish the proportion of crimes committed exclusively on the territory of the Russian Federation and affecting the interests of foreign states (properly transnational). The system of measures aimed at combating transnational crime includes the following: legislative, procedural (international cooperation); professional (improving the qualification of law enforcement agencies’ employees); technical (development and implementation of innovative technologies) and financial measures. The work identifies promising directions for improving this system of measures. Statistical data from the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation are provided. The analysis of the state and level of transnational crime and the problems associated with countering it allowed the authors to identify a number of promising areas. Specifically, it is proposed that a number of pressing problems should be solved in order to stabilize international cooperation at the regional level.

Authors: Santos Eduardo Vieira dos , Mendonça Andressa Vasconcelos , Costa Fabiano Silva
Published: February 2024

Veredas são importantes fisionomias do bioma Cerrado e um dos tipos de áreas úmidas presentes no bioma. Possuem elevada importância por sua biodiversidade e a relação direta com a água, entretanto, ainda são pouco estudadas. Nesse sentido, conhecer suas principais características e sua distribuição espacial gera grande contribuição na busca por sua preservação. Assim, realizamos a espacialização e a análise da ocorrência de veredas no estado de Mato Grosso, a partir do Cadastro Ambiental Rural (CAR). A escolha por inciar o estudo da distribuição espacial das veredas pelo estado de Mato Grosso ocorreu porque o estado possui seu território particionado entre Cerrado, Amazônia e Pantanal. Para a realização do estudo efetuamos revisão de literatura e, posteriormente, formamos banco de dados com os polígonos representativos de todas veredas declaradas no CAR para o estado de Mato Grosso. A partir do banco de dados foi possível a espacialização das áreas de veredas do estado e a análise de sua ocorrência. Com a espacialização das áreas de veredas do estado de Mato Grosso verificamos que este tipo de área úmida está presente em todo estado e nos três biomas que ocorrem no estado.

Published: February 2024

Cannabis es una planta con tradición milenaria, y actualmente de interés mundial debido a la eficacia del cannabidiol (CBD) en diferentes tratamientos. Las técnicas de propagación asexual son usadas para preservar las características de las plantas madre. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo evaluar la eficacia de dos métodos de siembra (hidroponía y turba) para la propagación asexual de plantas femeninas de cannabis usando el método del esquejado. Esquejes tomados de plantas femeninas fueron sometidos a dos métodos de siembra, adicionalmente se evaluaron dos factores, manejo del ápice y regulador hormonal en cada medio. Los esquejes se mantuvieron en condiciones controladas durante 17 días. Esquejes propagados en turba en combinación con el regulador de crecimiento registraron el mayor porcentaje de sobrevivencia (100%) con respecto al medio hidropónico sin regulador (73,33%). Los esquejes que no fueron sometidos al corte del ápice muestran los mejores resultados en las variables evaluadas en ambos medios de siembra. Tanto la turba como la hidroponía son medios efectivos para los esquejes. Aplicar un regulador de crecimiento y mantener las puntas de las hojas enteras favorecen la formación y calidad de las raíces.
CONTEMPORARY WARFARE DISCOURSE: WAR STUDIES (POLEMOLOGY) IN THE MODERN EDUCATION SYSTEM OF UKRAINE

The article is devoted to the justification of the introduction of a special system of knowledge about war into the renewed system of higher education of Ukraine, its connection with the modern armed world, the policy of the ruling circles of aggressive states with the aim of intellectual resistance to war based on a deep understanding of its socio-political and humanitarian aspects. Russian aggression against Ukraine has created an existential danger for Ukrainians, the meaning of which is not only an attempt to implement the shameful statement "I will destroy you", but also an encroachment on the world order and the right for security. The authors insist that the initial knowledge at the level of the school program for the protection of the Motherland and the minimum knowledge about war ("tinitet") is not enough to understand the essence, content, anti-human consequences of new modes of wars - unprovoked aggressions and wars of the "new generation". The authors focus on the fact that the idea of creating a polemology course by the French thinker G. Butul was distorted by Russian interpreters, who began to see war as an "effective way of communication between civilizations" and justified it as a "substitute" in a "softer form of "special operations", denied rational, de-ideological knowledge of the meaning and consequences of wars, which would serve the transition to a just peace and a peaceful dialogue of cultures. The totality of such knowledge is due to the filling of scientific gaps in the development of the "Polemology" course, which is based on the empirical facts of past wars and everyday armed struggle. The article emphasizes the creation of a synthetic system of knowledge that combines the work of political conflictology, military science, social psychology and other rational ways of understanding war, including the generating ideas of works of art and military diaries of combatants, so that this knowledge has epistemological value and moral-political focus on intellectual resistance to the occupiers.
OPPOSITIONAL SENTIMENTS AND FORMS OF RESISTANCE OF THE SOUTHWESTERN RAILWAYS’ WORKERS DURING THE HOLODOMOR
Authors:   Nizhyn Mykola Gogol State University, Ukraine, SOPRONIUK Tetiana
Published: February 2024

In the article, the author analyzed the specific features and causes of resistance and anti-Soviet sentiments that prevailed among employees of the South-Western Railways in 1932–1933. A key feature that determined the social status of the workers of these sphere in the 1920s and 1930s, especially low-skilled ones, was their close connection with the countryside. Their way of life was not too different from that of farmers – they had homesteads, and members of their families worked in collective farms. Despite the efforts of the Soviet government to “proletarianize” the railway workers, it mostly failed to do so. Similarly, propaganda did not succeed in turning the railway workers against the farmers, in particular against the “kurkuls”. On the contrary, as evidenced by the reports of the GPU, during the Holodomor, the railway workers showed solidarity with the farmers and sympathized with them. Witnessing the confiscations of grain and the deportation of “dekurkulized” families, they understood the artificial nature of the famine and blamed the authorities for its organization. Anti-Soviet sentiments among the workers were caused primarily by a lack of food supplies and delays in the payment of wages, and, as a result, starvation. They were unenthusiastic about the regime's campaigns in the countryside, including grain procurements, in which they were sometimes involved. The railway workers also compared the current situation with the past and noted the injustice of the Communist Party's policy. Typical forms of everyday resistance on the railways were “anti-Soviet conversations”, rumors about the possible start of the war, leaving the workplace (individual and collective), refusal to do “striking work”, intentional damage to railway property and creation of emergency situations. All these types of resistance did not require serious planning and coordination of actions. Instead, active, planned and well-organized forms of resistance were infrequent.

The russian political and military leadership, the armed forces of russia are committing crimes against both the entire Ukrainian people and the residents of Melitopol, which contain signs of not only physical, but also cultural genocide. Racist invaders forcefully embody the so-called "russian world" in the occupied city, planting their way of life, language, imperial worldview, artificial culture, education, etc. The occupiers consider the multicultural Ukrainian people an "anti-russian" construct, and the independent Ukrainian state an "artificial formation", simultaneously propagandizing the model of "soviet friendship of nations". The destruction of everything Ukrainian and European began from the first days of the occupation by means of political repression of all those who did not agree with the new order. During the entire occupation, more than 600 local residents were protected, the fate of some of them is still unknown. In the city, national television does not work, there is no Ukrainian mobile connection and the Internet, Ukrainian monuments have been dismantled and streets have been renamed after the decommunization process. Residents of the city cannot communicate freely either in Ukrainian or in their ethnic language, and educational institutions are forcibly translated into russian and russian programs. In the local local history museum, "new exhibits" were made, distorting the real history and culture of the city, calling our region a part of littlerussia or novorossiya. In the city, looting "flourishes" and "nationalizes", private enterprises, apartments and houses of their abandoned inhabitants.

Published: February 2024

Marine biotas are used to assess potential adverse human health risks associated with consuming protein-rich aquatic organisms. Heavy metal content of Mangrove oysters (Crassostrea gasar) was evaluated between January and June 2022 in 3 stations. Six heavy metals (copper, cadmium, zinc, lead, arsenic and iron) were determined using standard methods. Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) and Hazard Index (HI) were used for the non-carcinogenic assessment while Target Cancer Risk (TR) was used for the carcinogenic assessment of the potential human health risk of consuming the oysters. The heavy metal values recorded were Cu (473.2 – 596.7 mg/kg), Cd (2.33 – 3.84 mg/kg), 209.02 – 246.41 mg/kg), Pb (6.16 – 12.07 mg/kg), As (0.012 – 0.016 mg/kg) and Fe (1609.0 – 1846.0 mg/kg). All the heavy metals were above the acceptable limits except arsenic. Stations 2 and 3 had relatively higher values; attributed to anthropogenic activities. The THQ and HI values were less than 1 in all the metals and stations while TR for Pb and arsenic were within the negligible range in all the stations. However, Cd was unacceptable among the children in station 2. Station 3 had relatively higher values while the children were more vulnerable to both non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks. In conclusion, the consumption of oysters from Elechi Creek is considered safe based on acceptable levels of the THQ, HI and TR; though Cd-TR for children (Station 2) was unacceptable.

Published: February 2024

“One Last Time: An Evening with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga” personified the use of person-centered care for someone living with dementia. Mr. Bennett was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, a type of dementia, in 2017. Transpersonal caring, a connection requiring full attention, authenticity, and a genuine concern for what is important to another person, is essential for working with people living with dementia. Lady Gaga illustrated examples of person-centered care with Mr. Bennett during a televized celebration of his 95th birthday.

Parents’ satisfaction with the teledentistry method during the COVID-19 pandemic: A study in Java and Bali
Authors: Sujatmoko Prisninda Prilyan Geraldine , Laksmiastuti Sri Ratna
Published: February 2024

Background: The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic situation in Indonesia has caused increased anxiety, especially among parents trying to provide health services for their children. The concerns are about cross-contamination through aerosol splashes and contamination by the virus on instruments and in dental offices. Therefore, the government urges the public to use telemedicine. Telemedicine is a digital-based remote health service. The service utilizes information and communication technology. Purpose: This study aims to assess the satisfaction of parents of pediatric dental patients in using teledentistry during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: An analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach was arranged. Data was gathered through questionnaires distributed to parents who live in Java and Bali using the Google Forms platform, consisting of 15 questions with 6 domains of questions. Results: The results showed that 201 respondents were parents of pediatric dental patients, including 123 female respondents and 78 male respondents. The average age of respondents is dominated by the age group 36–40, which included 68 respondents. Two hundred and one respondents were satisfied with dental health services using teledentistry. Conclusion: Parents of pediatric dental patients are generally satisfied with the quality of dental and oral health services using the teledentistry method.
NFkB and MMP-13 expression in condylar cartilage of temporomandibular joint with occlusal disharmony in vivo

Published: February 2024

Background: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a collection of symptoms that causes pain and disturbs a person's life quality. One of the trigger factors is mechanical overloading. Mechanical overloading in occlusal disharmony conditions will lead to an inflammatory reaction in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This condition will induce nuclear factor Kappa Beta (NFkB) activation to transcribe proinflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP13) and will also degrade condylar cartilage as a major factor in strengthening the TMJ. Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the expression of NFkB and MMP13 in the condylar cartilage of TMJ with occlusal disharmony. Methods: This research was an experimental study with post-test-only control group design. Twenty Rats (Rattus norvegicus) were divided into four groups: One control group without any intervention and three experimental groups. Occlusal-reducing intervention was due on the right molar of the experimental groups, which were divided into the 7th, 14th, and 21st days. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to determine the expression of NFkB and MMP13 in the condylar cartilage. The data were analyzed by using the Welch test and independent t-test. Results: There were significant differences in NFkB and MMP13 expression between the control and experiment experimental groups (p<0.05). NFkB expression increased on the 7th, 14th, and 21st days of observation. The MMP13 expression showed a significant difference between the control and experimental groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Occlusal disharmony increases NFkB and MMP13 expression and could affect TMJ integrity and induce TMD. These findings are important for describing the mechanism of TMJ damage and developing potential alternative therapies to prevent further TMD.
