A New Turn in Russian Ethnography
Authors: Kerimova Mariam M. , Zolotukhina Maria V.
Published: December 2022

The article is based on the text analysis of previously unknown archival documents (letters, petitions) to assess the impact of Pervaa Vserossiiskaya etnographicheskaya vystavka (the first all-Russian ethnographic exhibition) had on different spheres of Russian life – ranging from reinterpreting Slavic identity and rallying Western and Southern Slavs around the empire to growing museum attendance. Demonstrating the diversity of ethnic groups in Russia, in addition to emphasising its imperial power managed to also serve the purpose of structuring and further developing academic knowledge, and presenting its results to the larger public in an easily accessible yet sophisticated way: the Ethnographic Department of the Imperial Society of Devotees of Natural Science, Anthropology and Ethnography at Moscow University was founded in 1868, and the first ethnographic museum (Dashkov Museum) in Moscow used the items for its collection. Russian ethnography exercised this new chance of proclaiming itself as an independent and actively evolving discipline and field of knowledge.

A indústria de alimentos e, sobretudo no processamento industrial de frutas ocorre a geração de grandes quantidades de subprodutos, geralmente descartados ou utilizados de forma menos nobre ou descartados no meio ambiente, desvalorizando seus potenciais usos. Os resíduos gerados podem ser utilizados para uma infinidade de outros usos que incluem sua valorização como fonte de nutriente, substâncias de interesse biotecnolólógico, potencial uso na agroindústria ou sua valorização energética. A possibilidade de uso desses resíduos para a produção de metano (CH4), por exemplo, contribuindo para a geração energética descentralizada com ganhos a todo ciclo produtivo vem ganhando importância na agroindústria. Os resíduos de bagaço de laranja (BL), Casca de maracujá (CM) e bagaço de caju (BC), são os mais produzidos pela indústria de sucos nacional. A caracterização fisico-química detalhada desses resíduos pode ser uma alternativa mais prática para a determinação teórica do Potencial Bioquímico de Metano (PBM) em detrimento da aplicação de testes laboratoriais caros e com aparatos experimentais e analíticos mais complexos. Neste sentido, este trabalho objetivou apresentar a caracterização de resíduos das frutas mais utilizadas pela indústria de frutas nacional e relacionar as suas características a possibilidades de determinar de maneira mais objetiva o PBM. Foi realizada uma caracterização físico-quimica detalhada dos resídos de BL, CM e BC para os parâmetros pH: umidade e ST (%), STV (%), C, N (%), Celulose, hemicelulose e lignina (%). A partir da caracterização observou-se que apesar ácidos os substratos são favoráveis a digestão anaeróbica, com detaque para o BC que pode necessitar de processos de pré-tratamentos a biodigestão anaeróbia devido o teor de fibras mais elevado. A caracterização físico-quimica previa dos resíduos é uma alternativa de obtenção do PBM teórico, com custo, velocidade de resposta menores mantendo alta onfiabilidade dos resultados obtidos e uteis para dimensionamentos de projetos de valorização energética de resíduos da agroindústria.

Published: December 2022

A batata-doce é rica em carboidratos, fibras, vitaminas A e C, e minerais e possui alto valor energético e antioxidantes, o que justifica o seu consumo por pessoas que buscam um alimento saudável. Normalmente esse tubérculo é consumido após o cozimento em água, assado ou frito. A ideia de um produto na forma de filme pronto que facilite o seu consumo se justifica. Assim, o estudo objetivou desidratar o purê de batata-doce por cast-tape drying (CTD) para a produção de um filme comestível e caracteriza-lo quanto às propriedades físico-químicas. O purê foi preparado usando diferentes concentração de amido pré-gelatinizado (0 g, 1 g, 2 g, 3 g e 4 g), 1 g de glicerol e 100 g de purê (5 ºBrix e 9,2 g/g b. u.). No CTD as formulações foram espalhadas com 2 mm de espessura e secas usando vapor como fonte de aquecimento (temperatura do suporte de 96 ºC). A secagem ocorreu a taxa constante até o 6º minuto e foi de 1,43±0,2 g/g.min, e o tempo final de secagem foi de 10 minutos (umidade final abaixo de 0,1 g/g). Nesse período a temperatura das formulações foram de 62,5±2,5 ºC, elevando (> 90 ºC) após o 8º minuto. A espessura do filme foi entre 0,16-0,20 mm, a higrscopicidade dos filmes foi abaixo de 10%. Todos os filmes possuem cor amarela clara característica do purê de batata-doce, e os filmes com 1 g (10%) e 2 g (20%) de amido pré-gelatinizado foram os mais contínuos, de bom manuseio e não apresentaram fraturas. Assim, o CTD é um processo viável para a obtenção de filmes de batata-doce em um curto tempo em temperatura considerada moderada com características físicas desejadas para filmes.

Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVE

Infection is one of the important and frequent complications following implantable pulse generator and deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrode insertion. The goal of this study was to retrospectively evaluate and identify potential risk factors for DBS infections.

METHODS

From January 2015 to January 2021 in Qingdao municipal hospital (training cohort) and The First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China (validation cohort), the authors enrolled patients with Parkinson disease who had undergone primary DBS placement or implantable pulse generator replacement. The cases were divided into infection or no-infection groups according to the 6-month follow-up. The authors used the logistic regression models to determine the association between the variables and DBS infection. Depending on the results of logistic regression, the authors established a nomogram. The calibration curves, receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, and decision curves were used to evaluate the reliability of the nomogram.

RESULTS

There were 191 cases enrolled in the no-infection group and 20 cases in the infection group in the training cohort. The univariate logistic regression showed that BMI, blood glucose, and albumin were all significant predictors of infection after DBS surgery (OR 0.832 [p = 0.009], OR 1.735 [p < 0.001], and OR 0.823 [p = 0.001], respectively). In the crude, adjust I, and adjust II models, the three variables stated above were all considered to be significant predictors of infection after DBS surgery. The calibration curves in both training and validation cohorts showed that the predicted outcome fitted well to the observed outcome (p > 0.05). The decision curves showed that the nomogram had more benefits than the "All or None" scheme. The areas under the curve were 0.93 and 0.83 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

The nomogram included BMI, blood glucose, and albumin, which were significant predictors of infection in patients with DBS surgery. The nomogram was reliable for clinical application.

Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVE

Although magnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) at the ventral intermediate (VIM) thalamic nucleus is a novel and effective treatment for medication-refractory essential tremor (ET), it is unclear how the ablation lesion affects functional activity. The current study sought to evaluate the functional impact of MRgFUS thalamotomy in patients with ET, as well as to investigate the relationship between neuronal activity changes and tremor control.

METHODS

This study included 30 patients with ET who underwent MRgFUS thalamotomy with a 6-month follow-up involving MRI and clinical tremor rating. Additional sex- and age-matched healthy people were recruited for the healthy control group. The fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (fALFF) and regional homogeneity were used to identify functional alteration regions of interest (ROIs). To investigate changes after treatment, ROI- and seed-based functional connectivity (FC) analyses were performed.

RESULTS

Patients with ET had significantly increased fALFF in the right postcentral gyrus (PoCG; ROI 1), regional homogeneity in the left PoCG (ROI 2), and regional homogeneity in the right PoCG (ROI 3, cluster-level p value family-wise error [pFWE] < 0.05), which were recovered and normalized at 6 months after MRgFUS thalamotomy. FCs between ROI 2 and the right supramarginal gyrus, ROI 2 and the right superior parietal gyrus, and ROI 3 and the left precentral gyrus were also found to be increased after treatment (cluster-level pFWE < 0.05). Furthermore, changes in fALFF, regional homogeneity, and FC values were significantly correlated with tremor relief (p < 0.05). Preoperative FC strengths were found to be inversely related to the postoperative tremor control ratio (p < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

In patients with ET, the VIM lesion of MRgFUS thalamotomy resulted in symptom-related regional functional recovery associated with sensorimotor and attention networks. Preoperative FC strengths may reflect the postoperative tremor control ratio, implying that this metric could be a useful neuroimaging biomarker for predicting symptom relief in patients with ET following thalamotomy.
Neurosurgery for eloquent lesions in children: state-of-the-art rationale and technical implications of perioperative neurophysiology
Authors: Krieg Sandro M. , Bernhard Denise , Ille Sebastian , Meyer Bernhard , Combs Stephanie , Rotenberg Alexander , Frühwald Michael C.
Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVE

In adult patients, an increasing group of neurosurgeons specialize entirely in the treatment of highly eloquent tumors, particularly gliomas. In contrast, extensive perioperative neurophysiological workup for pediatric cases has been limited essentially to epilepsy surgery.

METHODS

The authors discuss radio-oncological and general oncological considerations based on the current literature and their personal experience.

RESULTS

While several functional mapping modalities facilitate preoperative identification of cortically and subcortically located eloquent areas, not all are suited for children. Direct cortical intraoperative stimulation is impractical in many young patients due to the reduced excitability of the immature cortex. Behavioral requirements also limit the utility of functional MRI and magnetoencephalography in children. In contrast, MRI-derived tractography and navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation are available across ages. Herein, the authors review the oncological rationale of function-guided resection in pediatric gliomas including technical implications such as personalized perioperative neurophysiology, surgical strategies, and limitations.

CONCLUSIONS

Taken together, these techniques, despite the limitations of some, facilitate the identification of eloquent areas prior to tumor surgery and radiotherapy as well as during follow-up of residual tumors.
Factors affecting the prognosis of recovery of motor power and ambulatory function after surgery for metastatic epidural spinal cord compression
Authors: Park Sehan , Park Jae Woo , Park Jin Hoon , Lee Choon Sung , Lee Dong-Ho , Hwang Chang Ju , Yang Jae Jun , Cho Jae Hwan
Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVE

Metastatic epidural spinal cord compression (MESCC) causes neurological deficits that may hinder ambulation. Understanding the prognostic factors associated with increased neurological recovery and regaining ambulatory functions is important for surgical planning in MESCC patients with neurological deficits. The present study was conducted to elucidate prognostic factors of neurological recovery in MESCC patients.

METHODS

A total of 192 patients who had surgery for MESCC due to preoperative neurological deficits were reviewed. A motor recovery rate ≥ 50% and ambulatory function restoration were defined as the primary favorable endpoints. Factors associated with a motor recovery rate ≥ 50%, regaining ambulatory function, and patient survival were analyzed.

RESULTS

About one-half (48.4%) of the patients had a motor recovery rate ≥ 50%, and 24.4% of patients who were not able to walk due to MESCC before the surgery were able to walk after the operation. The factors “involvement of the thoracic spine” (p = 0.015) and “delayed operation” (p = 0.041) were associated with poor neurological recovery. Low preoperative muscle function grade was associated with a low likelihood of regaining ambulatory functions (p = 0.002). Furthermore, performing the operation ≥ 72 hours after the onset of the neurological deficit significantly decreased the likelihood of regaining ambulatory functions (p = 0.020). Postoperative ambulatory function significantly improved patient survival (p = 0.048).

CONCLUSIONS

Delayed operation and the involvement of the thoracic spine were poor prognostic factors for neurological recovery after MESCC surgery. Furthermore, a more severe preoperative neurological deficit was associated with a lesser likelihood of regaining ambulatory functions postoperatively. Earlier detection of motor weaknesses and expeditious surgical interventions are necessary, not only to improve patient functional status and quality of life but also to enhance survival.

OBJECTIVE

Pediatric low-grade gliomas (pLGGs) frequently exhibit dysregulation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Targeted therapies, including mutant BRAF inhibitors (dabrafenib) and MEK inhibitors (trametinib), have shown promise in patients in whom conventional chemotherapy has failed. However, few studies have investigated the use of targeted therapy as a first-line treatment for pLGG. Here, the authors reviewed their institutional experience with using a personalized medicine approach to patients with newly diagnosed pLGGs.

METHODS

All pediatric patients at the authors’ institution who had been treated with dabrafenib or trametinib for pLGG without first receiving conventional chemotherapy or radiation were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic, clinical, and radiological data were collected.

RESULTS

Eight patients underwent targeted therapy as a first-line treatment for pLGG. Five patients had a BRAF alteration (1 with a BRAFV600E mutation, 4 with a KIAA1549:BRAF fusion), and 3 patients had an NF1 mutation. One of the 8 patients was initially treated with dabrafenib, and trametinib was added later. Seven patients were initially treated with trametinib; of these, 2 later transitioned to dual therapy, whereas 5 continued with trametinib monotherapy. Six patients (75%) demonstrated a partial response to therapy during their treatment course, whereas stable disease was identified in the remaining 2 patients (25%). One patient experienced mild disease progression after completing a course of trametinib monotherapy, but ultimately stabilized after a period of close observation. Another patient experienced tumor progression while on dabrafenib, but subsequently responded to dual therapy with dabrafenib and trametinib. The most common adverse reactions to targeted therapy were cutaneous toxicity (100%) and diarrhea (50%).

CONCLUSIONS

Targeted therapies have the potential to become a standard treatment option for pLGG due to their favorable toxicity profile and oral route of administration. This case series provides preliminary evidence that targeted therapies can induce an early disease response as a first-line adjuvant treatment; however, large-scale studies are required to assess long-term durability and safety.
Personalized surgery of brain tumors in language areas: the role of preoperative brain mapping in patients not eligible for awake surgery
Authors: Raffa Giovanni , Marzano Giuseppina , Curcio Antonello , Espahbodinea Shervin , Germanò Antonino , Angileri Filippo Flavio
Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVE

Awake surgery represents the gold standard for resection of brain tumors close to the language network. However, in some cases patients may be considered not eligible for awake craniotomy. In these cases, a personalized brain mapping of the language network may be achieved by navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS), which can guide resection in patients under general anesthesia. Here the authors describe their tailored nTMS-based strategy and analyze its impact on the extent of tumor resection (EOR) and language outcome in a series of patients not eligible for awake surgery.

METHODS

The authors reviewed data from all patients harboring a brain tumor in or close to the language network who were considered not eligible for awake surgery and were operated on during asleep surgery between January 2017 and July 2022, under the intraoperative guidance of nTMS data. The authors analyzed the effectiveness of nTMS-based mapping data in relation to 1) the ability of the nTMS-based mapping to stratify patients according to surgical risks, 2) the occurrence of postoperative language deficits, and 3) the EOR.

RESULTS

A total of 176 patients underwent preoperative nTMS cortical language mapping and nTMS-based tractography of language fascicles. According to the nTMS-based mapping, tumors in 115 patients (65.3%) were identified as true-eloquent tumors because of a close spatial relationship with the language network. Conversely, tumors in 61 patients (34.7%) for which the nTMS mapping disclosed a location at a safer distance from the network were identified as false-eloquent tumors. At 3 months postsurgery, a permanent language deficit was present in 13 patients (7.3%). In particular, a permanent deficit was observed in 12 of 115 patients (10.4%) with true-eloquent tumors and in 1 of 61 patients (1.6%) with false-eloquent lesions. With nTMS-based mapping, neurosurgeons were able to distinguish true-eloquent from false-eloquent tumors in a significant number of cases based on the occurrence of deficits at discharge (p < 0.0008) and after 3 months from surgery (OR 6.99, p = 0.03). Gross-total resection was achieved in 80.1% of patients overall and in 69.5% of patients with true-eloquent lesions and 100% of patients with false-eloquent tumors.

CONCLUSIONS

nTMS-based mapping allows for reliable preoperative mapping of the language network that may be used to stratify patients according to surgical risks. nTMS-guided asleep surgery should be considered a good alternative for personalized preoperative brain mapping of the language network that may increase the possibility of safe and effective resection of brain tumors in the dominant hemisphere whenever awake mapping is not feasible.

Targeted therapies for driver gene fusions in cancers have yielded substantial improvements in care. Here, the authors outline a case series of 6 patients with FGFR3-TACC3 fusion in primary brain tumors ranging from polymorphous low-grade neuroepithelial tumor of the young to papillary glioneuronal tumors and glioblastoma (GBM). Previous studies indicated the FGFR3-TACC3 fusion provides survival benefit to GBM patients. Consistent with this, 2 patients with GBM had unexpectedly good outcomes and survived for 5 and 7 years, respectively. In contrast, 2 patients with initially lower graded tumors survived only 3 years and 1 year, respectively. One patient received erdafitinib, a targeted FGFR inhibitor, for 3 months at late disease recurrence and no response was seen. There were varied histomorphological features, including many cases that lacked the characteristic FGFR3-TACC3 pathology. The findings of this cohort suggest that molecular testing is justified, even for glioma cases lacking classic histopathological signatures. Currently, FGFR3-TACC3 fusion gliomas are often classified on the basis of histopathological features. However, further research is needed to examine whether IDH1/2–wild-type tumors with FGFR3-TACC3 fusion should be classified as a subtype on the basis of this molecular fusion. Because patients with IDH1/2–wild-type GBM with FGFR3-TACC3 fusion have improved survival, routine molecular testing for this mutation in patients enrolled in clinical trials and subsequent stratification may be warranted.

Authors: Timsinha Sidarth , Parajuli Sudhir Raman
Published: December 2022

Introduction: A medico-legal issue arises whenever an injured person visits a hospital. Therefore, all physicians who treat such patients have a legal duty to accurately document injuries as part of medical treatment. The study aimed to find out the prevalence of mechanical injury among medicolegal cases in the Department of Emergency in a tertiary care centre.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among patients admitted to the Emergency Department of a tertiary centre from May 2018 to April 2020 after obtaining ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 356). Convenience sampling method was used among patients who met the eligibility criteria. All relevant data were extracted using hospital records. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated.
Results: Out of 3486 medicolegal cases registered in the Department of Emergency, 856 (24.55%) (28.37-29.96 at 95% Confidence interval) were cases of mechanical injuries. Males 616 (71.96%) outnumbered females for all types of mechanical injuries. Road Traffic Accident 527 (61.56%) was the leading cause of injury and lacerations 351 (29.52%) were the most common pattern of injury. The majority 628 (73.36%) of the injuries were simple in nature.
Conclusions: The prevalence of mechanical injuries among medicolegal cases was similar in our study compared to other studies done in similar settings. The majority of the injuries were caused by traffic accidents, which could have been prevented if a safe system approach to road safety was followed.

Infrastructure landscape in the transborder region of Russia, Mongolia and China: Transformations and landmarks
Authors: Namzhilova Viktoriya O.
Published: December 2022

The article discusses ongoing and expected changes in the infrastructure landscape in the zone of the China - Mongolia - Russia economic corridor. Ensuring infrastructure connectivity is becoming a common task for the three countries in order to competitively integrate into the world’s logistics routes. The author analyzes the factors influencing the intensification of cross-border interactions, highlighting the general trend of growing demand on land transportation in Eurasia, as well as mining freight movement of raw material resources from Mongolia to China. The transit capabilities of the railway and road infrastructure are assessed, the features of cargo flow through border checkpoints are studied. Consistent implementation of Mongolia’s ambitious plans of railway construction changes the cross-border infrastructure, especially on the China’s border.
It is noted that the construction of railways was forced by the Mongolian government with the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic: severe restrictions and border control measures on truck transport significantly affected the operating of border crossings and foreign economic relations of Mongolia as a whole. In order to expand the export of mineral raw materials, it is planned to open four railway border crossings on the Mongolian-Chinese border: Gashuunsukhait - Gantsmod, Shiveekhuren - Sehe, Bichigt - Zun-Khatavch, Khangi - Mandal. Establishing the effective functioning of the cross-border transport and logistics infrastructure is becoming a strategic priority of the Mongolian economic policy.
For Russia, there is a need to develop foreign trade infrastructure in the border regions, especially in the new geopolitical realities.
North African countries in XXI century: the processes of formation of a new social appearance. Part 1
Authors: Tkachenko Aleksandr A.
Published: December 2022

The countries of North Africa, which are currently at different stages of social transit, have been undergoing significant, qualitative changes in recent decades, mainly in the 2000s.
The evolution of the social image of the Arab States has become one of the most important consequences of the ongoing large-scale transformations in this region and, more broadly, in the globalized world. Geopolitical and geoeconomic parameters/features of the object of the study - the North African countries with their hundreds of tribes and clans predetermine significant differences in the nature and dynamics of transformation and development of selected states. This is due to significant differences in historical-cultural development, ethnic and confessional composition within a large group of countries, and their population. This group includes numerous states that differ in natural and geographic environment and have a rich historic background with its particular case in each country.
Today there exists a rather mixed picture of positions that selected countries of the region hold in the “world ranking” of the level and dynamics of economic development, quality of human capital, scale of poverty, framework conditions for investment, demographic factor, urbanization, environmental protection, etc. All of this directly affects implementation of renovation/modernization concept - the key mega trend of social development of the region in recent decades. On the whole, for the past 50 years the shifts have been limited (but anyone could say that this is just the beginning). This article is devoted mainly to the analysis of the factors influencing the formation of a new social image of the North African countries.
WFSW’ General Assembly in Marrakech in the geopolitical and African context
Authors: Vdovin Vyacheslav F.
Published: December 2022

The article deals with the 23d General Assembly of the World Federation of Scientific Workers (WFSW) that took place in Marrakech in May 2022. The most relevant elements of the history of the WFSW are considered today. The goals and objectives of the Federation in the context of new global challenges and threats are defined. Today, WSFW sets itself the task of promoting the sustainable development of African countries that faced the facts of ignoring their interests by global multinational companies during the COVID-19 pandemic. WSFW members from the African continent and Russian representatives of the Federation assess this fact as a new round of neocolonialism. The authors pay special attention to the presentation of the concept of the “International Fund Dedicated to Research in Africa” developed by the WSFW, the purpose of which is to comprehensively promote and financially support the development of African science and education.
The article presents the most significant abstracts of reports made by members of the Federation and affiliated organizations during the scientific Symposium. The authors emphasize that the WSFW platform has been and remains an opportunity to use scientific diplomacy and soft power both in the system of global and “African” scientific communications, despite the very difficult situation in the world today.

With the seizure of power by the Taliban on August 15, 2021 a new page in the political history of Afghanistan had been opened. The Taliban, which for 20 years led a guerrilla war against the authorities of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and their Western patrons, had to come out of hiding and start operating openly within the framework of a new state system. On September 7, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid announced the formation of the government of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. A year after these events, it seems important to trace the process of building government by the Taliban, characterize the current political system of Afghanistan and analyze the basic principles for the inclusion of certain groups in the state system.
In the history of Afghanistan, the aspect of ethnicity has always been a key point that has determined one’s position in political and social system of the country. As a result of studies, the author concludes that the Taliban during its first year in power created a Pashtun-centric state, where the struggle between the main Pashtun tribal associations in relation to the foreign policy guidelines of each of them plays a decisive role in the configuration of domestic political forces. At the same time, despite the entry into the public field of the main Taliban functionaries who have taken positions in the leadership of various departments in Kabul, traditional for the Taliban hidden form of top management is preserved.
