Authors: Mitkov Javor , Kasabova-Angelova Alexandra , Kondeva-Burdina Magdalena , Tzankova Virginia , Tzankova Diana , Georgieva Maya , Zlatkov Alexander
Published: May 2019

Objective:

The syntheses and biological activities of 8-thiosubstituted-1,3,7- trimethylxanthine derivatives bearing an aromatic hydrazide-hydrazone fragment in the side chain at C8 are described.

Methods:

The chemical structures of the synthesized compounds 6a-m were confirmed based on their MS, FTIR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR analyses.

Results:

The in vitro investigations of neuroprotective effects manifested on cellular (human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y) and sub-cellular (isolated rat brain synaptosomes) levels show that compounds 6g and 6i demonstrate statistically significant activity. The performed monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibition study in vitro show that compounds 6g and 6i possess a significant MAO-B inhibition activity close to L-deprenyl.

Conclusion:

These results suggest that such compounds may be utilized for the development of new candidate MAO-B inhibitors for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
Electrodeposition of Lead from Simulated Wastewater Using Stainless Steel Tubes Bundle as Cathode
Authors: Salman Anas Bdiwi
Published: May 2019

Background:

Lead ions form a dangerous pollutant to both human and aqua lives when discharged to the environment with wastewater due to the diseases and the damage of the live cells caused by these ions, so, it is very important to find an effective method for lead ions removel.

Methodology:

Lead ions were successfully recovered from simulated wastewater by a flowthrough batch recycle electrochemical reactor with stainless steel tubes bundle as a cathode operating under mass transfer control conditions in 0.5 M NaCl electrolyte solution. Effects of initial lead ions concentration, electrolyte flow rate, and PH were studied and the mass transfer coefficient was determined under these conditions. Performance of this reactor was analyzed by the construction of some figures of merit like fractional conversion, specific energy consumption, space-time yield, and space velocity.

Results:

Experimental results were correlated in the general form of a dimensionless mass transfer correlation as SH = 1.024Re0.00699Sc1/3.
Acceptability of Mobile Health Interventions to Increase Diabetic Risk Factor Awareness Among the Commuter Population in Johannesburg: Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Fischer Alex , Chadyiwa Martha , Tshuma Ndumiso , Nkosi Vusumuzi
Published: May 2019

Background

Developing countries are experiencing a shift from infectious diseases such as HIV and tuberculosis to noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes. Diabetes accounts for more disability-adjusted life years than any other NCD in South Africa, and research has identified a number of preventable risk factors; however, there is not enough evidence from lower resource settings as to how best to disseminate this information to the population. Today, 90% of the world’s population lives in mobile phone coverage areas, and this provides a unique opportunity to reach large populations with health information.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate how potential mobile health (mHealth) platforms should be paired with diabetes risk factor education so that at-risk communities are empowered with information to prevent and manage diabetes.

Methods

A Likert-style survey was distributed to commuters in the City of Johannesburg in July 2018 that explored participants’ background characteristics as well as their knowledge and awareness surrounding diabetic risk factors (such as exercise, smoking, and hypertension) and their comfort level with various information delivery methods (such as WhatsApp, short message service, and email). The grouped variables from diabetic risk factors and information delivery methods were described with mean Likert scores and then investigated for relationships with Spearman Rho correlation coefficients.

Results

Background characteristics revealed that the self-reported prevalence of diabetes was twice as high in this studied commuter population than the national average. WhatsApp was the most favorable mHealth information delivery method and had a moderate correlation coefficient with diet and nutrition (0.338; P<.001) as well as a weaker correlation with physical activity (0.243; P<.001). Although not as robust as the WhatsApp correlations, each of the other information delivery methods also showed weaker, yet statistically significant, relationships with one or more of the risk factors.

Conclusions

The elevated self-reported diabetes prevalence reinforces the need for diabetes risk factor education in the studied commuter population of Johannesburg. The most feasible mHealth intervention for diabetic risk factor education should focus on WhatsApp messaging while also offering content across other mHealth and traditional platforms to remove barriers to access and enhance the user experience. The content should emphasize diet and nutrition as well as physical activity while also incorporating information on secondary risk factors.

Published: May 2019

BACKGROUND

Best-practice early interventions to increase physical activity (PA) in children with overweight and obesity should be both feasible and evidence based. Walking is a basic human movement pattern that is practical, cost-effective, and does not require complex movement skills. However, there is still a need to investigate how much walking—as a proportion of total PA level—is performed by children who are overweight and obese in order to determine its utility as a public health strategy.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to (1) investigate the proportion of overall PA indicators that are explained by step-based metrics and (2) study step accumulation patterns relative to achievement of public health recommendations in children who are overweight and obese.

METHODS

A total of 105 overweight and obese children (mean 10.1 years of age [SD 1.1]; 43 girls) wore hip-worn accelerometers for 7 days. PA volumes were derived using the daily average of counts per 15 seconds, categorized using standard cut points for light-moderate-vigorous PA (LMVPA) and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA). Derived step-based metrics included volume (steps/day), time in cadence bands, and peak 1-minute, 30-minute, and 60-minute cadences.

RESULTS

Steps per day explained 66%, 40%, and 74% of variance for counts per 15 seconds, LMVPA, and MVPA, respectively. The variance explained was increased up to 80%, 92%, and 77% by including specific cadence bands and peak cadences. Children meeting the World Health Organization recommendation of 60 minutes per day of MVPA spent less time at zero cadence and more time in cadence bands representing sporadic movement to brisk walking (ie, 20-119 steps/min) than their less-active peers.

CONCLUSIONS

Step-based metrics, including steps per day and various cadence-based metrics, seem to capture a large proportion of PA for children who are overweight and obese. Given the availability of pedometers, step-based metrics could be useful in discriminating between those children who do or do not achieve MVPA recommendations.

There was no difference in ghrelin levels of breast milk (p = 0.90) between obese and normal mothers. There was a difference in weight gain between obese and normal mothers (p = 0.02). There was no significant association between IGF-1 and ghrelin levels of breast milk with an increase in infant weight between obese and normal mothers.Conclusion: There was no significant association between IGF-1 and ghrelin levels of breast milk with an increase in infant weight between obese and normal mothers.
The Emerging Roles of Circular RNAs in Colorectal Cancer
Authors: Ge Jiaxin , Zhang Xinjun
Published: May 2019

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant diseases and the forth common cause for death in the world. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a group of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which have a covalent closed loop without 5’ and 3’ ends. Studies indicated that many circRNAs are differently expressed in CRC cells and tissues. Their different expression levels are significantly correlated with clinicopathological features and overall survival time of CRC patients. Additionally, they regulate CRC cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and migration mainly by acting as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs). In this review, we reviewed CRC-associated circRNAs, described their functions and mechanisms, discussed their potential as diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets of CRC.

Gender in Russian history: review of the latest researches
Authors: Resnyansky Sergey I , Amiantova Irina S
Published: May 2019

The article reviews the works of gender studies published over the past 30 years, with the aim to show and generalize what is proposed in historiography and special literature about the relationship between historical sciences and gender studies. Firstly, the paper oﬀers an updated concept of gender in relation to the diﬀerent periods of the country’s history - tsarist, Soviet and post-Soviet. Secondly, the paper discusses the formation and gradual development of gender studies and gender discourse. The study reveals an uneven growth in the number of descriptive and empirical gender studies, which can be explained in correlation with socio-economic and political changes throughout Russia’s historical path. The correlation between the dynamic evolution of gender and the peculiarities of the historical path of the country has not been suﬃciently studied; its analysis oﬀers historians the opportunity to describe and explain the unique models of male/female (gender) relations and their evolution. So far gender studies have little to oﬀer that would help identify, describe and explain the national speciﬁcity of gender, correlated with the speciﬁcs of national history in chronological and spatial-territorial terms. Future historians should also focus on developing methodological tools and a language that can foster interaction between historical, post-structuralist and feminist approaches. This will require a drastic transition in historical research to previously ignored topics and to more innovative, in-depth and qualitative research methods, such as the history of the life of ethnic groups and peoples of Russia at diﬀerent stages of development of state and society next to case studies of gender and discourse analysis.

Authors: Chahoud Ahmad Mohammad , Le Van Vuong , Hosain Mohannad
Published: May 2019

This article examines the evolution of priorities, main directions and conditions of the Russian Federation’s cooperation with Syria and Vietnam in the sphere of education, and it analyzes the historical experience of the cooperation between these states. The authors analyze the main tasks and areas of research for the cooperation of the Russian Federation with other states, the contextual priorities of their development, the needs of the labor market and the characteristics of the higher education systems. Particular attention is paid to a comparative study of the institutional and regulatory resources for the development of higher education systems of the countries under consideration. The authors emphasize the relationship between higher education and the national economy. The novelty of the research lies in rethinking the conceptual framework, objectives and key areas of interaction between countries that can together form the necessary basis for understanding the basic essence of cooperation between the Russian Federation and Syria and Vietnam in the ﬁeld of educational policy, its state and development prospects. The authors identiﬁed features of the cooperation of the Russian Federation with Syria and Vietnam in the ﬁeld of educational policy in the 2000s, which are expressed in their orientation to common priorities as expressed in international higher education documents, and the development of a consensus on the need to increase the volume of cooperation in the ﬁeld of training highly qualiﬁed personnel in accordance with the requirements of the modern labor market.
THE VALUE OF DIGITAL EVIDENCE IN CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS
Authors: Ostrovsky Oleg A
Published: May 2019

Modern information systems, such as e-learning, e-voting, e-health, etc., are often used inappropriately for irregular data changes (data falsification). These facts force to review security measures and find a way to improve them. Proof of computer crime is accompanied by very complex processes that are based on the collection of digital evidence, forensic analysis and investigation. Forensic analysis of database systems is a very specific and complex task and therefore is the main source of inspiration for research. This article presents the fact that classical methods of collecting digital evidence are not suitable and effective. To improve efficiency, a combination of well-known, world-independent database technologies and their application in the field of forensic science are proposed. It also offers new directions for research in this area.
RULE-MAKING POLICY OF THE REPUBLIC OF CRIMEA IN THE CONDITIONS OF CHANGE OF CONSTITUTIONAL CYCLES
Authors: Bondarchuk Ilya V
Published: May 2019

This paper draws on new comparative data from these three cycles of Crimean constitutional process (1992-1994, 1995-1998 and 2014-2018) to provide evidence for a novel approach to changes in political and legal systems - an approach that explains both the impact of constitutional crises as well as the robustness of the systems themselves to a more serious destabilization. Our analyses suggest that the political and legal systems have an inbuilt mechanism that saves them from overheating in times of crisis. The mechanism operates simultaneously on the level of law enforcement and at the level of lawmaking. It is based on the assumption that the political elites are risk-averse. While they react to constitutional crises by looking for new solutions, they mostly do so in “restrained” forms of legal regulation where the consequences of change are easily comprehensible. In political and legal systems that are already relatively complex internal structure, however, the political elite shy away from experimentation and rather rely on tested strategies. Constitutional crises therefore tend to stabilize unstable systems and to destabilize stable ones. They rarely push complex systems over a critical threshold of no return. Based on a positive and contrasting comparison of the three different phases of Crimean constitutional process the period 1992-1994 considered as a transformative constitutional regime in statu nascendi (in the formation stage) with signs of restrained independence in rulemaking. Content analysis of the Crimean constitutions in times of Ukraine (1992, 1995, 1998), fundamental amendments to them and changes in the current legislation, revealed the so-called "negative integration" of the autonomous region into Ukraine (1995-1998). As a result, the legal space of post-2014 was characterized by the presence of both new, not yet tested, and the former, several modified institutions, on the basis of which the current Constitution of the Republic of Crimea 2014 was created. The article presents quantitative data and qualitative "illustrations" of various indicators of the legislation of the Republic of Crimea as a normative component of the legal system using a functional research method.

Published: May 2019

A crescente preocupação pela pesquisa narrativa em ciências sociais tem tido pouco impacto sobre a educação física e ciências do esporte. Neste artigo, vamos tentar compensar esta situação questionando o significado desta pesquisa e sua utilidade para o nosso campo. Para compreender esta nova e complexa forma de pesquisa, o que primeiro tentamos definir que é "narrativa". Posteriormente, apresentamos as premissas básicas e características principais da investigação narrativa. Por fim, apresentamos algumas razões pelas quais ela pode ser benéfica para o estudo das narrativas em áreas específicas da educação física e esporte. Em conclusão, acreditamos que a investigação narrativa pode ser uma ferramenta útil, mas problemática, para a teorização e pesquisa em nosso campo. No entanto, chamamos a atenção para o risco de fazer investigação narrativa, simplesmente porque ela seja nova ou esteja na moda. Os pesquisadores e profissionais que queramos fazer pesquisa narrativa devemos informar-nos sobre os seus prós e contras e fazer escolhas responsáveis e sensatas sobre por que e quando fazer.

Published: May 2019

A implantação e difusão das artes marciais japonesas no Ocidente supõem a importação de práticas socioculturais privadas das premissas de seu contexto de origem. Como afrontar estas práticas que são fora de nossa identidade cultural? Uma interpretação estrita exige compreendê-las como práticas corporais com uma idiossincrasia cultural, caracterizadas por incorporar una experiência vivencial em que o corpo ocupa um lugar preeminente. Seu ensino e aprendizagem se estabelecem através de um sistema triangular integrado por uma essência espiritual, uma forma técnica e uma estrutura física (shin-gi-tai), que se insere em um processo singular (shu-ha-ri).

tijek događaja u Hrvatskoj, jest 2. svibnja 1991. godine. Toga je dana u
Borovu Selu kraj Vukovara u Slavoniji i u Polači kraj Zadra u Dalmaciji
iz zasjede ubijeno 13 hrvatskih policajaca, što je znatno pogoršalo već
složenu sigurnosnu i političku situaciju u Hrvatskoj. Radi razumijevanja okolnosti („konteksta vremena”) u kojima su počinjena spomenuta ubojstva u radu će se ukratko osvrnuti na uzroke raspada Socijalističke Federativne Republike Jugoslavije i na početak procesa demokratizacije suvremene Republike Hrvatske nakon višestranačkih izbora
u travnju i svibnju 1990. te prikazati neke reakcije srpskih ekstremista na spomenuti proces, koje su prethodile ubojstvima 2. svibnja 1991., kao i reakciju hrvatske vlasti i Predsjedništva Socijalističke Federativne Republike Jugoslavije, odnosno vodstva Srbije
i Jugoslavenske narodne armije na spomenuti događaj. Naime, nakon toga krvoprolića Predsjedništvo Socijalističke Federativne Republike Jugoslavije na sjednici od 7. do 9. svibnja 1991. pravno je omogućilo, zapravo legaliziralo, uporabu Jugoslavenske narodne armije u Hrvatskoj, službeno radi sprečavanja daljnjih sukoba. Spomenuta ubojstva, koja treba promatrati i u kontekstu pokušaja pobunjenih Srba u Hrvatskoj da izazovu reakciju Jugoslavenske narodne armije i uvođenje izvanrednoga stanja, uvela su Hrvatsku u razdoblje ni rata ni mira. Zapravo je 2. svibnja 1991. postalo jasno da su šanse za mirno rješenje hrvatsko-srpskih prijepora u Hrvatskoj sve manje.

Introduction/Objective. Assessment of the Quality-of-life questionnaires was filled out before and after surgery by patients with laryngeal cancer hospitalized in the Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery Department, qualified for surgical treatment. Methods. Fifty-four patients with laryngeal cancer in T3 and T4 stages who were qualified for total laryngectomy were asked to fill out the EORTC QLQ-30 and H&N30 modules before and a few years after surgical treatment. Results. The quality of life of the hospitalized patients increased after surgery. The level of pain after surgery decreased and was statistically significant (p = 0.025). In the study group, 90.6% of patients survived five years after surgery. Conclusion. The quality of life in patients with laryngeal cancer improved in the domain of pain. Further research should be conducted on a larger group of patients. Future results could provide useful material for analysis regarding the benefits for the patient that may be relevant to a decision to consent to the proposed treatment and the choice of its type.

Authors: Knezevic-Rangelov Sanja , Jankovic Slobodan
Published: May 2019

Background/Aim. Despite the widespread use of procalcitonin, C-reactive protein (CRP), and soluble CD14 subtype (sCD14-ST), their diagnostic accuracy in children with sepsis is not yet clear. The aim of the study was to establish and compare the diagnostic accuracy of procalcitonin, CRP, and sCD14-ST in children admitted to the hospital under suspicion of having sepsis. Methods. The study was designed as a retrospective cross-sectional study on children admitted to the Pediatrics Clinic in Kragujevac, Serbia, under suspicion of sepsis, during a 6-month period. Diagnostic accuracy was tested by the construction of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and their comparison in terms of area under the curve (AUC). Results. Procalcitonin had the largest AUC [0.75; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.63?0.88], followed by CRP (0.68; 95% CI 0.54?0.81) and sCD14-ST (0.65; 95% CI 0.52 ? 0.79). Differences between the areas under the ROC curves were not significant (CRP vs. procalcitonin z = 1.054, p = 0.291; CRP vs. sCD14-ST z = 0.238, p = 0.812; procalcitonin vs. sCD14-ST z = 1.089, p = 0.286). Conclusion. Our study showed relatively low sensitivity and moderate specificity of procalcitonin, C-reactive protein and sCD14-ST in diagnosing sepsis among children, as well as similar diagnostic accuracy of the three biomarkers.

Background/Aim. In recent years, bimaxillary surgery has widely been accepted as an effective surgical procedure for the correction of mandibular prognathism. The aim of this study was to determine how bimaxillary surgical correction can change the skeletal dimensions and relations typical of mandibular prognathism and whether the postoperative results can be compared with biometric values of these dimensions in subjects with normal occlusion. Methods. The study included 50 subjects divided into two groups. The analyzed group consisted of 20 patients with mandibular prognathism, mean age 19.8 ? 5.3 years. The control group consisted of 30 subjects with skeletal class I and normal occlusion, mean age 21.5 ? 3.5 years. Cephalometric studies were conducted on 70 lateral cephalograms made on subjects of the analyzed group before and after surgery and in controls. All radio-graphs were transformed into a digital form. Using the computer program "Dr. Ceph", 30 linear and angular skeletal vari-ables were analyzed and compared on each radiograph. The values of examined variables in the analyzed group were compared before and after surgery and with the values of the same variables in the control group. Results. Bimaxillary os-teotomies changed most of the variables that characterize the mandibular prognathism. Changes in the sagittal plane were reflected in a significant increase of angles SNA (by 4? on the average), ANB (6?), and a significant reduction in angles SNB (3?), ArGoMe (8?), NGoMe (6.2?), Bjork?s sum (7?) and the angle of skeletal convexity NAPg (2?). Changes in vertical relationships were reflected in a significant reduction in overall anterior face height N-Me (by 5 mm on average), the lower anterior face height ANS-Me (4 mm), in a significant increase in the total posterior face height S-Go (2.5?3 mm), lower posterior face height PNS-Go (4 mm), in a significant reduction of the basal angle PP/MP (5?) and angle that mandibular plane closes with the anterior cranial base NS/MP (4?). Comparison of investigated variables in the analyzed group after surgery with the same values in the control group showed that they were significantly closer to biometric standards. Conclusion. Bimaxillary surgery significantly alters the skeletal relationships and facial dimensions typical of mandibular prognathism and normalizes the skeletal profile and appearance in operated patients.

Background/Aim. Haemoglobin (Hb) determination is a routine part of the blood donor selection process. Previously reported studies have revealed that iron deficiency is common in frequent donors. This prospective investigation was aimed at examining iron status among blood donors with low circulating Hb and evaluating correlation between Hb values determined by capillary methods and those obtained by reference method from venous blood count (BC), as well as ferritin level. Methods. Between February 2017 and December 2018, 200 consecutively recruited regular blood donors with low Hb, aged 19 to 64 years (median 39), were included. Hb level was determined using the copper sulphate method, the HemoCue capillary method, and also from venous blood within the complete blood count (CBC) test. Plasma ferritin was determined turbidimetrically. Results. In 42.7% of men and 57.3% of women, ferritin concentration was low (p = 0.008). The relative numbers of males and females, with levels < 12 ?g/L (p = 0.023) or > 50 ?g/L (p = 0.022), differed. Comparison of the values obtained with the capillary methods with reference Hb levels obtained from the CBC test showed that the copper sulphate procedure gave false fails in 10.5% of cases (p < 0.001). Hb values from HemoCue were significantly correlated with Hb values from the CBC test, but no correlation was observed between ferritin levels and Hb levels determined by both capillary method. Conclusion. Low ferritin was observed in 51.5% of Serbian blood donors deferred due to low Hb. Based on our results, the determination of the algorithm in the iron deficiency detection is necessary, while the capillary method (HemoCue) represents a more convenient method for Hb testing prior to blood donation.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm and horseshoe kidney-open surgical repair: A case report
Authors: Tomic Aleksandar , Marjanovic Ivan , Sekulic Dragan
Published: May 2019

Introduction. Horseshoe kidney (HSK) is a congenital anomaly of embryonic kidneys, which occurs in early gestation when both kidneys are in close proximity. This hap-pens as a result of abnormal migration of nephrogenic cells. The presence of HSK may complicate an anterior approach to reconstructive surgery of the aorta and iliac vessels because the isthmus of the HSK lies across the aorta. HSK is often associated with anomalous renal vessels. Case report. A 71-year-old female patient was admit-ted with an abdominal aortic aneurysm, 50 mm in diameter, and HSK, and multiple aberrant renal vessels with subocluded upper left renal artery as seen on the multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). Open surgical treatment was applied. Endarterectomy of the left upper renal artery, perfusion of the right common bottom pole renal artery, and reimplantation of both bottom polar renal arteries were done. Isthmus was not divided. The co-existence of HSK and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a rare condition. It presents a technical challenge to vascular surgeons because the surgical treatment of such an aneurysm is complicated due to the abnormal anatomy, difficulties in exposing the aneurysm, and a variable blood supply to the isthmus and lower poles of the HSK. Conclusion. Open surgical repair of AAA with HSK is a successful method and provides good exposure, the possibility of renal circulation preservation, and prevention of renal insufficiency.
