Published: September 2024

в статье рассматриваются современные подходы к лечению миомы матки. В основе патогенеза лежит гормональный дисбаланс эстрогенов и прогестерона, что приводит к развитию не только миомы, но и мастопатии и гиперплазии эндометрия. Данная проблема к сожалению встречается у молодых девушек, которые еще не выполнили свою репродуктивную функцию и применение хирургического лечения у них ограничено. В настоящий момент ведется множество клинических исследований, применения препаратов для лечения миомы, некоторые их них мы рассмотрим в данной статье.

the article discusses modern approaches to the treatment of uterine fibroids. The pathogenesis is based on a hormonal imbalance of estrogens and progesterone, which leads to the development of not only fibroids, but also mastopathy and endometrial hyperplasia. Unfortunately, this problem occurs in young girls who have not yet fulfilled their reproductive function and their use of surgical treatment is limited. Currently, there are many clinical studies on the use of drugs for the treatment of fibroids, some of them we will consider in this article.

Authors: Rumyantsev Vitaly , Frolov Georgy , Karasenkov Yakov , Andreev Alexey , Abdukodirov Abdulla , Bessudnova Alexandra , Blinova Alice
Published: September 2024

Background: Glass ionomer filling materials are widely used in stomatology, but do not have an antimicrobial effect that effectively prevents the development of secondary and recurrent dental caries. Researchers are attempting to modify these materials by introducing various biologically active additives into them.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the antimicrobial properties of a dental ionomer filling material modified withadditives based on high–energy nanoparticles of silver, copper, titanium and their compounds.
Material and methods: Colloidal aqueous and alcoholic solutions of metals and their oxides with stabilizers were obtained by the electroerosion method. Citric acid, cetylpyridinium chloride and Trilon B were used as stabilizers.
The zeta potential and the distribution of particles of the dispersed phase in solutions were measured. Samples of dental glass ionomer cement "Cemion-Aqua" were impregnated with colloidal solutions of nanoparticles. The microbiological activity of glass ionomer fillings samples in relation to plaque was determined by disc diffusion and suspension methods.
Results: The results showed that modification of glass ionomer cement samples with silver hydrosols in citric acid solutions with concentrations of 0.04% and 0.0025% increases the zone of radial lysis of microbial plaque colonies around the cement samples by 1.5 and 2.5 times compared with the control. By the suspension method, it was determined that silver hydrosols in a solution of citric acid and without it reduce the formation of colonies of microorganisms to several units up to 72 hours of exposure compared with the control. And copper hydrosols in solutions of cetylpyridinium chloride prevent an increase in the number of colonies of microorganisms after 24 hours
of exposure compared with the control. Silver hydrosol in a solution of citric acid with a concentration of 0.0025% and silver alcohol sol reduce the number of colonies of microorganisms to several units after 3 hours of exposure.

El posicionamiento en musicoterapia. EDITORIAL
Authors: gamella-gonzalez david-jose
Published: September 2024

La musicoterapia, como disciplina clínica, aspira al estatus de ciencia, o al menos a lograr un cuerpo respetable de creencias sustentadas en la evidencia. Esto implica ser aceptada colectivamente en términos epistemológicos por las otras disciplinas de la salud y el tratamiento terapéutico a las personas. Comenzamos el camino terapéutico en la misma ruta de la medicina, lo que supuso asumir corrientes positivistas y neopositivistas, es decir, decidimos hacer cumbre por la vertiente más escarpada. Históricamente esto ha generado frustraciones conceptuales y procedimentales aún por resolver.

Es sabido que las alturas epistémicas varían según el grado de conocimiento que se consigue alcanzar. La musicoterapia tiene aún pendiente universalizar la naturaleza, las posibilidades, el alcance y los fundamentos de sus principios terapéuticos. Aunque algunos agentes han logrado definir las premisas fundamentales de la disciplina, la heterogeneidad cultural aplicable a su principal variable independiente dificulta unificar los tratamientos, los métodos de evaluación y con ello los resultados. Dar objetividad a los efectos obtenidos, justificar la consecución de las metas terapéuticas como resultado directo, y no fortuito, de una metodología de intervención razonada y razonable, o demostrar el impacto controlado de la música en la evolución de los pacientes, son solo alguna de las tareas y retos colectivos que aún están por resolver.

How does canopy height regulate autumn photosynthetic phenology in the Northern Hemisphere?
Authors: Tang Rui , He Bin , Shen Miaogen , Zhong Ziqian , Xu Hongtao , Li Tiewei , Guo Lanlan , Huang Ling , Huang Xinzi
Published: September 2024

Autumn photosynthetic phenology strongly regulates the length of growing season and terrestrial carbon cycle, providing feedbacks to climate change. While the climatic drivers of autumn photosynthetic phenology have received considerable attention, the regulation by forest structural features is frequently overlooked. Here, we used spaceborne LiDAR observations of canopy height, two sets of canopy height products, and satellite solar-induced chlorophyll, to characterize the role of canopy height in autumn photosynthetic phenology from 2001 to 2020. We found strong dependencies of autumn photosynthetic phenology on canopy height in 65.2% of the northern forest. Taller trees tend to end the growing season later, likely due to the enhanced acquisition of solar radiation associated with increased canopy height. Additionally, taller trees have deeper root system to maintain strong hydraulic transport capacity and higher resistance to water stress. This study highlights the importance of forest structure in regulating vegetation phenology and contributes to enhancement of phenological models and carbon cycle simulations.

Explainable Deep Learning Approach for Mpox Skin Lesion Detection with Grad-CAM
Authors: Idroes Ghazi Mauer , Noviandy Teuku Rizky , Emran Talha Bin , Idroes Rinaldi
Published: September 2024

Mpox is a viral zoonotic disease that presents with skin lesions similar to other conditions like chickenpox, measles, and hand-foot-mouth disease, making accurate diagnosis challenging. Early and precise detection of mpox is critical for effective treatment and outbreak control, particularly in resource-limited settings where traditional diagnostic methods are often unavailable. While deep learning models have been applied successfully in medical imaging, their use in mpox detection remains underexplored. To address this gap, we developed a deep learning-based approach using the ResNet50v2 model to classify mpox lesions alongside five other skin conditions. We also incorporated Grad-CAM (Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping) to enhance model interpretability. The results show that the ResNet50v2 model achieved an accuracy of 99.33%, precision of 99.34%, sensitivity of 99.33%, and an F1-score of 99.32% on a dataset of 1,594 images. Grad-CAM visualizations confirmed that the model focused on relevant lesion areas for its predictions. While the model performed exceptionally well overall, it struggled with misclassifications between visually similar diseases, such as chickenpox and mpox. These results demonstrate that AI-based diagnostic tools can provide reliable, interpretable support for clinicians, particularly in settings with limited access to specialized diagnostics. However, future work should focus on expanding datasets and improving the model's capacity to distinguish between similar conditions.

This research employs Network Pharmacology analysis to examine the target proteins and pharmacological network profiles predicted to be influenced by compounds in the leaves of Smallanthus sonchifolius (yacon) for their anti-diabetic effects. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) identified 41 secondary metabolite compounds in yacon leaves, seven of which have a Pa value > 0.5. Compound C28 has the highest Pa value as an insulin promoter, at 0.662. A total of 129 target proteins were found for the secondary metabolite compounds in yacon leaves, and 5,112 target proteins were identified for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The intersection analysis between yacon leaves and T2DM revealed 32 common proteins. Network analysis highlighted 10 top proteins: ESR1, PPAR-α, HMGCR, CYP19A1, PPARD, PTP1N, GRIN2B, FYN, AR, and SHBG. Among these, PPAR-α shows great potential and promising prospects as a target for further exploration. Considering several parameters, it can be concluded that PPAR-α is a promising protein and a potential target for new drug candidates for T2DM.

This research aims to evaluate the anti-hyperuricemic activity of Syzygium polyanthum ethanolic extract in hyperuricemic male rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced by liver juice.  A total of 25 animals were divided into five groups: a negative control group, a positive control group, and three treatment groups receiving S. polyanthum extract at doses of 150, 200, and 250 mg/kg body weight, respectively. The result showed that the dose of 250 mg/kg body weight resulted in the highest decrease of uric acid plasma, measuring 3.44 ± 2.03 mg/dL. This reduction is comparable to the effect of allopurinol, which showed a decrease of 3.70 ± 1.54 mg/dL. A minimum dose-dependent activity was observed. To conclude, the administration of ethanolic extract of S. polyanthum for 14 days significantly reduced uric acid levels. Further exploration of higher doses or a long-term treatment period to enhance its effectiveness is needed.

Intussusception in children over the age of two frequently has an identifiable pathologic lead point linked to underlying causes, such as intestinal hematomas, lymphomas, polyps, duplications, and Meckel's diverticulum. These cases, which frequently present with severe abdominal pain paroxysms, warrant further investigation. A 5-year-old girl with abdominal pain was diagnosed with Burkitt's lymphoma, which caused her intussusception.

This research is designed with qualitative methods and uses data collection techniques in the form of filling out student interest observation sheets in the learning process. The results of filling out student observations are expected to be used as evaluation material in the classroom learning process. Thus, it is hoped that the results of this study can be useful as a reference for educators to develop teaching media that will be used in the learning process in the classroom. Various rapidly developing technologies must of course be utilized properly, so that later the educational process in the classroom is not left behind by existing technological developments. Nowadays, there are many websites or applications that can help the learning process in the classroom. The idea of student-centered education should make educators no longer use the lecture method when explaining in the learning process. This is what makes educators clever in utilizing various learning resources and media including technology. In the meaning of KBBI technology is a scientific method that can be used as a means to provide various things needed for the continuity and comfort of human life to make it more practical.
