Acute Kidney Injury Following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting with Cardiopulmonary Bypass at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya: A Preliminary Study
Authors: Surya Ghuraba Adi , Abbas Kun Arifi
Published: January 2022

Introduction: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality following common cardiac surgery. The most common cardiac surgery performed at Dr Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya is coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Along with the increasing number of these procedures performed on subjects, Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) has also grown in popularity, which is frequently associated with postoperative AKI. Objective: To investigate the incidence of postoperative AKI in subjects who had undergone a CABG procedure using the CPB technique. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital in Surabaya. All subjects who had CABG with CPB in 2019 were included in the study. The incidence of AKI was determined by comparing the creatinine serum level before and after surgery on days 0, 1, 2, 3, and >3 according to the AKIN criteria. Results and Discussion: The 68 subjects who underwent the CABG with CPB procedure were made up of 53 males (77.9%) and 15 females (22.1%). The average age of the subjects was 58.209.07. This study included 63 subjects (five subjects could not be evaluated due to incomplete data), and AKI was diagnosed in 44 of them using the AKIN criteria (69.8%). Postoperative AKI was reported in 14 subjects (22.2%) on day 0, 18 subjects (28.6%) on day 1 post-operation, and the same number of 6 subjects (9.5%) on day 2 and day 3 post-operation. None of them had AKI after the third post-operative day. Conclusion: More than 50 % of cases of post-CABG Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) occur at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, with the majority occurring on the first day after surgery.

Published: January 2022

Background: The mechanism of action of gentamycin is inhibiting protein synthesis inside bacteria. Meropenem and vancomycin have the same mode of action that inhibit bacterial cell wall activity. Antibiotic resistance occurs when antibiotic use does not follow the guidelines. Therefore, this study aims to determine how vancomycin, gentamycin, and meropenem are prescribed in a regional public hospital. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the prescription of vancomycin, gentamycin, and meropenem in Yogyakarta Regional Public Hospital in 2017. Methods: This research employed a descriptive analysis with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted to describe the profiles of vancomycin, gentamycin, and meropenem utilization. Data collection was performed retrospectively using patients’ medical record data including the diagnosis, dosage, and duration of administration. Results: The study showed that the total number of patients who received aminoglycoside: meropenem: vancomycin antibiotics in 2017 and met the research criteria was 6:8:24. According to the diagnosis, gentamycin was used for post-operation (75%), then sepsis and encephalitis. Meropenem was used for sepsis with a percentage of 67% while vancomycin was for endocarditis, intraabdominal, MRSA, cellulitis, pneumonia, and sepsis. Based on the appropriate dosage in the guidelines, the prescribing of gentamycin and meropenem resulted in 100% properness and 69.23% for vancomycin. For the duration of appropriate utilization, it was found that the most prolonged use was in patients given meropenem for 29 days, and the fastest use was a day for patients using vancomycin. Conclusion:Vancomycin, gentamycin, and meropenem had the appropriate dosage. However, discrepancies were still found in the indication and duration of the treatment using these antibiotics. Keywords: Vancomycin, gentamycin, meropenem, antibiotics

Published: January 2022

Abstract Background: Implementation of the new curriculum is tiresome for both lecturers and students. Students who are passive and have limited cognitive abilities will feel depressed. This condition can cause anxiety leading to stress and ultimately depression. The enhancement of graduation standards for apothecary students rises the depression risk factors, especially for retaker students (students who do not pass the Indonesian Pharmacist Competency Exam). Objective: This study aimed to identify the level of anxiety, stress, and depression among undergraduate pharmacy and pharmacist profession students. Method: This study was a cross-sectional design that employed the students of undergraduate and apothecary programs. Respondents involved in this study were undergraduate students in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year (n=451) and professional students from batches 35, 36, and 37 (n=271). The DASS 42 questionnaire (Depression Anxiety Stress Scale) was used to identify depression. The data were analyzed descriptively. Result: The number of respondents who met the inclusion criteria was 668. Most undergraduate students had moderate levels of anxiety, normal stress, and normal depression, while apothecary students had normal profiles for all parameters. Conclusion: The various activities and pressure during the learning process triggered psychological disorders for only 5% of respondents. Keywords: Anxiety, stress, depression, DASS-42

Abstract Background: Attarasa (L.a cubeba (Lour.) Pers.) is a potential Indonesian medicinal plant that is used as a cold remedy, head ulcers, antimicrobials, antioxidants, and anticancer drugs. Objective: This research was conducted to analyze the immunomodulatory effect of bark (EEKBA) and fruit of attarasa ethanolic extract (EEBA) by detecting its phagocytosis activity in male mice using carbon clearance method. Method: Total of 24 male mice were divided into 6 groups. Extract was orally administered to mices for 7 days at the dose of 100 mg/kg BW, 200 mg/kg BW, and 400 mg/kg BW. Imboost® suspension at the dose of 32.5 mg/kg BW and CMC-Na 1 % suspension was orally administered in positive control, negative control and normal groups. On the 8th day, 0.1 ml carbon suspension was given through intravenous tail injection. The blood samples were withdrawn at 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes after injection of carbon suspension to find out the carbon absorbance contained in the blood that was measured using spectrophotometer then the carbon elimination speed, phagocytic index, and the stimulation index has been calculated Result: EEKBA and EEBA at the dose of 400 mg/kg BW induced the higher carbon elimination rate in mice compared to EEKBA and EEBA dose of 100 and 200 mg/kg BW. Phagocytic index of macrophage in mice given with EEKBA and EEBA at dose of 100, 200, dan 400 mg/kg BW were 3.429, 3.501, and 3.925 for EEKBA consecutively; 4.289, 4.375 and 4.732 for EEBA respectively. Stimulation index of macrophage in mice given with EEKBA and EEBA at dose of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg BW were 1.00; 1.20, 1,02; 1,23, and 1,13; 1,33. Based on the results of statistical test, EEKBA and EEBA administration at the dose of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg BW stimulate the phagocytosis activity of the macrophage of male mice and significantly has different result compared to normal control group (p < 0.05). Phagocytosis activity was best shown at the mice group that administered EEKBA and EEBA at dose of 400 mg/kg BW and was shown not significantly different compared to positive control group (p > 0.05). Conclusion: EEKBA and EEBA have immunomodulatory effect by increasing the phagocytosis activity of mice. Keywords: immunomodulatory, Litsea cubeba, carbon clearance, phagocytosis activity
Permanently Installed Terrestrial Laser Scanner And Synthetic Aperture Radar Data: Evaluation Of Correlation Factor Through Time Series Analysis On Coastal Area Under Varying Environmental Conditions

Published: January 2022

In the past years, our knowledge of coastal environments has been enriched by remotely sensed data. However, to successfully extract information from a combination of different sensors systems, it should be understood how these interact with the common coastal environment. In this research we co-analyze two sensor systems: Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and satellite based Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). TLS shows large potential for examining coastal processes thanks to the possibility to retrieve repeated, accurate and dense topographic information in a rapid and non-invasive manner. However, TLS presents some limits due to its high economic costs and limited field of view. SAR systems are among the most used active remote sensor system for Earth Observation. Despite their relatively low resolution, SAR systems provide the ability to monitor and map coastal areas with complete, repeated and frequent coverage, penetrating through clouds and providing all weather monitoring. Moreover, Sentinel-1 SAR images are freely available. The availability of a permanently installed TLS system (PLS, Permanent Laser Scanner) allows us, to extensively compare Sentinel-1 SAR data and topographic laser scans during different conditions on a sandy beach. PLS data are compared with simultaneous Sentinel-1 SAR images in order to investigate the combined use of PLS and SAR in coastal environments. The purpose of this comparison is the investigation of a possible relation between PLS and SAR data: knowing their relation, SAR dataset could be correlated to beaches characteristics. Meteorological and surface roughness have also been taken into consideration in the evaluation of the correlation between PLS and SAR data. The permanently installed laser scanner for the present study is located in Noordwijk (the Netherlands). A generally positive but low correlation exists between the two variables. When considering weather phenomena, their correlation increases and shows a dependence on wind directions and speed. The correlation with the surface roughness, evaluated in terms of root-mean squared height, also depends on specific wind speed and directions.
Growth, Phycobiliproteins, Chlorophyll and Carotenoids Content of the Marine Cyanobacteria Phormidium sp. And Cyanothece sp. As Affected by White and Colored Artificial Light in Batch Cultures
Authors: Hotos George N. , Antoniadis Theodoros I.
Published: January 2022

Cyanobacteria are extensively studied and cultured because they can produce many value-added substances among which are pigments, mainly the phycobiliproteins phycocyanin (PC), phycoerythrin (PE), allophycocyanin (APC) and chlorophyll-a and carotenoids as well. As numerous cyanobacterial species await optimization for maximizing pigment production, we examined here two local marine species, Phormidium sp. and Cyanothece sp. batch cultured under 18-19.5 oC, at 40 ppt salinity with Walne’s nutrient medium, using white LED light of low (2000 lux) and high (8000 lux) intensity and additionally blue, green and red LED light. Significant differences were found among the intensities and colors of light used. Maximum growth was induced by high white light in both species (2.15 g dw/L in Phormidium and 1.47 g/L in Cyanothece). Next to them was green light (1.25 g/L) in Cyanothece and low white and green (1.26 – 1.33 g/L) in Phormidium. Green light maximized phycocyanin content in Phormidium (0.45 mg/mL), while phycoerythrin was maximized (0.17 mg/mL) by blue light and allophycocyanin by all colors (~0.80 mg/mL). All colors maximized phycocyanin in Cyanothece (~0.32 mg/mL) while phycoerythrin and allophycocyanin were maximized under green light (~0.138 and 0.38 mg/mL respectively). In Phormidium maximization of chlorophyll-a (9.3 μg/mL) was induced by green light while total carotenoids and b-carotene (3.05 and 0.89 μg/mL respectively) by high white light. In Cyanothece both white light intensities along with green light maximized chlorophyll-a content (~9 μg/mL) while high white light and green maximized total carotenoids (2.6-3.0 μg/mL).

Published: January 2022

Water is a limited resource that needs to be properly managed and distributed to the ever-growing population of the world. Rapid urbanization and development have drastically increased the overall water demand worldwide. Ageing water distribution networks are vulnerable to deterioration and leakage, thereby causing an estimated annual loss of about 48 trillion liters of water. To address these issues, efficient and reliable leakage detection and management techniques are necessary. In this paper, the results of the experiments performed on a looped water distribution network in AnSeong, Korea are discussed. Transient-based techniques were used and physical data were collected for the detection and localization of leakages in the experimental water pipes. The results obtained from the experiments demonstrated the applicability of transient techniques for leak analysis in looped water distribution networks.

Rice production in the Tonle Sap basin is one of the main drivers for economic and social development in Cambodia. The Tonle Sap basin has experienced many different forms of disasters while more attention has been drawn to drought disaster. The objective of this study is to assess the impacts of drought on agriculture and food security through a case study of the Baribo basin, a sub-basin of Tonle Sap basin, Cambodia. Ground observations and satellite-based products were used for drought assessment from 1985 to 2008 which was the period with relatively good data quality. The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Standard Vegetation Index (SVI) were selected for meteorological and agricultural droughts assessment, correspondingly. Both SPI and SVI consistently suggested that drought is a major natural hazard causing food insecurity in the target basin. The highest drought intensity (DI) and severity (DS) occurred between 1993-1994 and the longest drought duration (DD) occurred between 2002 and 2006. The most severe damage to rice production was in 2004, affecting about 46% of the total cultivated area. The analysis showed that drought duration had a strong relationship with the affected area growing rice as well as food insecurity in the Tonle Sap basin.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect size of seven critical elements on the life recovery in three prefectures, Iwate Prefecture, Miyagi Prefecture, and Fukushima Prefecture, which were severely damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake Disaster. This study used the 2016 Tohoku Life Recovery Survey (N = 2111, response rate: 35.2%) for the analysis. The dataset was divided into each prefecture sample to compare the effects of seven critical elements on life recovery in the three prefectures. We obtained samples from Fukushima (N = 603), Iwate (N = 781), and Miyagi (N = 727). First, the distribution of life recovery by the three prefectures was confirmed. The results showed that those affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake disaster in Miyagi have a higher quality of life recovery. Finally, we compared the effects of seven critical elements on life recovery among the three prefectures’ models using GLM analysis. From the comparison of effect size (partial η2) and discussion, three points are shown. 1) In the Fukushima model, the effect size of physical/mental stress management and social ties was larger than in the other models. 2) The effects of 1) were caused by the experience of diaspora (nuclear disaster-caused displacement). 3) If forced diaspora can create good relationships with local people, the positive effects of social ties on life recovery for such people are larger than for those who have not experienced diaspora.

Space weather, or the disturbances of the plasma environment driven by the magnetic activities in the Sun in geospace, has become a potential source of disaster for modern society, which is increasingly dependent on its space infrastructure and large-scale power grids. Recently, independent pieces of evidence have been found that support the possibility of extremely intense space weather driven by a “superflare,” a solar phenomenon that modern society has never experienced. This paper reviews state-of-art studies of superflares and their potential impacts.

Task-Based Language Teaching; Potential Benefits and Possible Criticisms in Indonesian Contexts
Authors: Maulana Mochammad Ircham
Published: January 2022

The primary aim of English language teaching in Indonesia is to equip Indonesian students with communicative competence in English. However, due to the prevalent utilisation of traditional student-centered approaches that accentuates linguistic structural properties as well as the lack of exposure to and usage of the target language in the classroom, research has found that Indonesian school graduates’ English communicative skills are still low. Very few students can deliver ideas, thoughts, and feelings through English as a medium of communication. This conceptual review article aims to promote the viabilities of task-based language teaching (TBLT) method to accelerate students’ communicative skills in Indonesia. Drawing on a wide range of theories and research findings, it critically explores some potential benefits as well as addresses some possible criticisms of employing TBLT in Indonesia. It argues that TBLT promotes natural learning, generates students’ intrinsic motivation, and develops language skill development that can lead the students to accelerate their communicative competence.

Insights into Controlling Factors of Pore Structure and Hydraulic Properties of Broken Rock Mass in a Geothermal Reservoir
Authors: Li Qiang , Ma Dan , Zhang Yandong , Liu Yong , Ma Yingjian
Published: January 2022

The filled broken rock mass in a geothermal reservoir under high-pressure work fluid and overburden stress is of great significance to the efficient operation of the geothermal system. The pore structure and hydraulic properties of the broken rock mass were quantitatively investigated by the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology and the non-Darcy models. The broken rock mass at the lower compressive stress levels shows stronger compressibility, and the broken gangue with more small particles shows stronger stress sensitivity. The seepage pores in broken rock can be characterized by the fractal theory, and the fractal dimension ranges from 2.749 to 2.861, which is positively correlated with compressive stress. The increase in Dp can be attributed to the shrinkage of macropores affected by the increasing compressive stress. The flow in broken rock mass under high pressure gradient shows significant nonlinearity verified by the Forchheimer equation and the Barree-Conway equation. We proposed a logistic regression model to characterize the effects of compressive stress and GSD on the permeability and the characteristic parameter of nonlinear flow in broken rock mass, which provides a potential method for evaluating the performance of the geothermal system based on the pore structure of the reservoir rock mass.
Formas de un nuevo cine observacional en México Cuatro retratos de Nuria Ibáñez y Laura Herrero
Authors:   Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Pérez Nieto Esther
Published: January 2022

Este texto pone en común dos largometrajes de Nuria Ibáñez y dos de Laura Herrero, siendo sus trabajos más recientes. Ambas comparten la nacionalidad española, pero, hasta la fecha, han desarrollado su filmografía en México. De acuerdo con las características que Bill Nichols atribuye a los diferentes modos del documental, el cine de ambas directoras evita por completo una enunciación expositiva y se inscribe en un acercamiento a la realidad que evoluciona desde una sutil presencia participativa hasta un borrado de las huellas de esta, adoptando por completo una actitud de observación. Los títulos estudiados no utilizan material de archivo ni texto escrito en pantalla a modo de explicación, tampoco cuentan con una voz narradora en off que lleve a cabo una contextualización histórica. En las cuatro películas, el espacio tiene una importancia capital, condiciona la articulación narrativa y establece pautas concretas en las elecciones formales del rodaje. El análisis se ha estructurado siguiendo un vector espacial en primer lugar y, a continuación, un vector de la presencia participativa de cada directora en sus películas, que evoluciona hacia un mayor distanciamiento respecto a los sujetos retratados y, por lo tanto, hacia un cine más observacional.
El espacio arcádico-idílico en la España de Spanish Affair
Authors:   Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Sanguinet García Luis N.
Published: January 2022

A mediados de los años cincuenta se rodó en España la coproducción Aventura para dos (Spanish Affair, Don Siegel, 1957) con Carmen Sevilla y Richard Kiley, que se estrenó internacionalmente, mientras estaba en vigor un embargo de exportaciones de Hollywood a España. Representantes del Gobierno en el extranjero se quejaron a organismos españoles por permitir una producción extranjera en territorio español que según sus testimonios dañaba la imagen del país. Tomando como herramienta el análisis de espacios en films turísticos españoles de Nieto Ferrando, Rey-Reguillo y Afinoguenova, este trabajo estudia las características de este film que configuran España como espacio arcádico-idílico. Los resultados del análisis y la comparación con el artículo mencionado sugieren que las quejas, aunque acertadas sobre el folclore y tradicionalismo representados, no serían consecuentes con la postura oficial del gobierno. Ese imaginario era la tendencia en films españoles que promocionaban el territorio nacional como destino turístico, que proliferaban en los años cincuenta y concordaban con el Spain is different promovido por organismos oficiales desde inicios de dicha década
Estéticas y estigmas de/en la geografía imaginada de la telenovela brasileña
Authors:   Universidad de São Paulo, Martins Néia Lucas
Published: January 2022

El artículo surge de una investigación que se propuso trazar una historia cultural de las telenovelas en Brasil, entendiéndolas como la experiencia comunicacional, estética y social que mejor ha caracterizado la narrativa de la nación brasileña (Vassallo de Lopes, 2009) en los últimos 60 años. La espacialidad fue tomada como la principal variable en la estrategia teórico-metodológica del trabajo; a partir de autores como Said (1978) y Anderson (1983), buscamos reflexionar sobre la capacidad de la ficción televisiva en la articulación y legitimación de geografías imaginadas. Constatamos que las telenovelas brasileñas se apropiaron gradualmente de la densidad geo-cultural y de la imaginación moderna del país: el mestizaje (Martín-Barbero, 1998) entre dispositivos narrativos tradicionales, tecnicidades emergentes y nociones socio-identitarias hizo que esas producciones actuasen en la reorganización de sentidos referentes a la cuestión nacional. Sin embargo, la retroalimentación entre el melodrama y la brasilidad en tales narrativas no dejó de perpetuar estigmas y patrones de exclusión observados en otras ramas de la cultura.

Drilling Automation - A Robot Takes Over the Drilling Floor
Authors: Rassenfoss Stephen
Published: January 2022

The work on the drilling floor of the PaceR801 rig revolves around a stout robot methodically picking up sections of pipe and moving them precisely over the drilling center to rapidly connect the pipe.

While it is one of many technological advances on the rig Nabors bills as “the world’s first fully automated land rig,” the robot is the one “that gets most people interested and excited,” said Travis Purvis, senior vice president, global operations for Nabors Industries Ltd.

As of 18 October, the PaceR801 had completed the first well on an ExxonMobil pad and was drilling the lateral on the second well of the three-well pad. After the third is done, the extended test will move to the next pad.

It is risky to announce who came in first in a competitive race in a secretive business. But Nabors stands out because the PaceR801 has an automated drilling floor, a range of other automated functions above and below ground, and most significantly, it is the only one using its rig to drill producing wells for a customer.

Jason Gahr, operations manager for unconventional drilling at ExxonMobil, said the research collaboration “demonstrates the ability to optimize drilling using the combined power of robotics, automation, computing, and data.”

Since the announcement, Nabors has heard from other oil companies. “There is strong interest in the rig in many markets,” Purvis said.

The companies’ interests range from automating more drilling functions by retrofitting rigs, to wanting to hire the rig, whose name is frequently shortened in conversations to R801.

There is only one PaceR801 and it is going to be tied up for a while. “We expect to drill multiple test wells on multiple pads and continue to work on the technology” with ExxonMobil, Purvis said.

It was created to show off the fruits of a 5-year drive to create a totally automated version of its Pace high- specification rig. Nabors likens it to the concept cars built by automakers to show off their vision of the future and to promote innovation within the company.

In this case, it is a vision of the near future. While the automated drilling floor is new, much of the rest is recently proven technology. Two of the drilling automation programs used—Nabors’ SmartSLIDE and SmartNAV—are already on 30% of the Nabors fleet, said Austin Groover, director of operations for smart products at Nabors. Those applications, which manage drilling of the curve and directional drilling, plus a third that automates drilling a stand of pipe, SmartDRILL, have been used by ExxonMobil for 2 years.

Maximizing the performance of a rig with multiple proven technologies plus a new one such as a robotic drilling floor required developing a system that coordinates the movements of those apps and the rig hardware while drilling.

When Nabors experts describe that process, they rely on musical metaphors, from the robot doing its little dance to a conductor leading a symphony.

Objectives A screening model for prediction of small-for-gestational-age (SGA) neonates (SGAp) was established by logistic regression using ultrasound data and maternal factors (MF). We aimed to evaluate the ability of SGAp as well as abdominal circumference (AC) and estimated fetal weight (EFW) measurements to predict SGA neonates at 33-39 weeks’ gestation.Methods This retrospective study evaluated 5298 singleton pregnancies that had involved three ultrasound examinations at 21+0–27+6, 28+0–32+6, and 33+0–39+6 weeks. All ultrasound data were transformed to MoM values (multiple of the median). Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between SGA status and various variables (ultrasound data and MF) during pregnancy to build the SGAp model. EFW was calculated according to the Hadlock formula at 33-39 weeks of gestation. The predictive performance of SGAp, AC MoM value at 33+0–39+6 weeks (AC-M), EFW MoM value (EFW-M), and EFW-M plus MF was evaluated using ROC curves, the detection rates (DRs) at false-positive rates (FPRs) of 5% and 10%, and the FPRs at DRs of 85%, 90%, and 95%.Results The AUCs of SGAp, AC-M, EFW-M, and EFW-M plus MF for SGA neonates screening were 0.933 (95%CI: 0.916-0.950), 0.906 (95%CI: 0.887-0.925), 0.920 (95%CI: 0.903-0.936), and 0.925 (95%CI: 0.909-0.941), respectively. The DRs of SGAp, AC-M, EFW-M, and EFW-M plus MF for SGA neonates were 80.4%, 69.6%, 73.8% and 74.3% at 10% FPR. The AUCs of SGAp, AC-M, EFW-M, and EFW-M plus MF 0.950 (95%CI: 0.932-0.967), 0.929 (95%CI: 0.909-0.949), 0.938 (95%CI: 0.921-0.956) and 0.941 (95%CI: 0.924-0.958), respectively for screening SGA neonates delivered within 2 weeks after the assessment. The DRs for these births increased to 85.8%, 75.8%, 80.0%, and 82.5%, respectively.Conclusion The rational use of ultrasound data can significantly improve the prediction of SGA statuses.

Exoskeleton is a promising technology to enhance the mobility of aged and disable people. With comfortable human-exoskeleton interaction, mechanical and control designers aim at accurately tracking a desired trajectory, while saving the wearer's energy expenditure is the preference from the viewpoint of biomechanics. Given all of these effects, we propose a new model, consisting of the swing dynamics of both human and robot's lower extremities coupled by damped springs representing elastic and viscous properties of band and human tissue. With the coupling coefficients identified with an experimental platform, the analytical model yields consistent results compared with an experimental exoskeleton, especially in the prediction of the interactive forces. Further analyses are then performed based on this validated model, revealing the influences of desired trajectory, mass ratio, misalignment, coupling points, health condition and band tightness on the human-exoskeleton coupling dynamics. It is found that introducing gravity compensation and tuning the feedback gain improve the tracking accuracy, but hardly change the interactive force. The most comfortable interaction requires a healthy wearer coupled with a light-weight exoskeleton without any misalignment, but properly changing the trajectory, coupling points and tightness can partly reduce the interactive forces if the ideal condition is unachievable.

Background: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the horizontal bone gain at the different level of alveolar bone using titanium screw as a reference plane by titanium mesh with tent screw (exposed or not) and autologous bone grafting.Methods: 16 patients and 23 measured points were enrolled in this study. CBCT data of immediately and 6 months after bone grafting were measured at crestal (CW), midway (MW), and basal (BW) level and reconstructed for area measurement using titanium screw as reference plane. The exposure of titanium mesh or not had been evaluated.Results: The area of bone gained and absorption ratio were almost the same without statistical different. There were not statistical different between the titanium mesh and onlay grafting, and measured level at CW, MW, and BW, and the exposed titanium mesh and not exposed one. The width absorption ratio of titanium mesh and onlay grafting group or at CW, MW, and BW were almost the same. However, the width absorption ratio of the exposed titanium mesh at CW, MW, and BW were significantly higher than the not exposed one. Thin biotype was a main factor of the exposure of titanium mesh. The exposed titanium mesh at late phase also can achieve clinically accepted bone gained after certain anti-inflammatory treatment. Conclusions: Ti-mesh with tenting screw could achieve the same bone augmentation effect as the autogenous bone block did, even it is exposed at late phase. However, the absorption ratio significantly increased if exposed.

Background:Bedsores are damage or loss of skin integrity due to prolonged pressure which there are several ways to treat and prevent them. The aim of current study was to determine the effect of Plantago major L and Rosa damascene herbal ointment for bedsore healing in hospitalized patients.Methods:This was a clinical trial study that was accomplished with 100 patients who were divided into control (50 patients) and intervention (50 patients) groups. The control group had received routine treatment (dressing with Comfeel) but the intervention group only had received herbal ointment and then both groups were compared with each other through Push tool.Results:The mean and standard deviation of recovery time in the Comfeel group was 27.40±12.467 and in the herbal ointment group was 21.57±12.695 . In the pre intervention evaluation, the mean and standard deviation of the Push score in the herbal ointment group was 323/44±0/10 while in the last evaluation in the same group it was 160/16±0/0. But in Comfeel group, in the pre-intervention evaluation, the mean and standard deviation of the Push score was 10/0±68/317, while in the last evaluation it was 364/60±0/0. The highest frequency of bed sores in the study units was in the sacral region (49%) and the lowest frequency was in the sole of the foot with 1%.Conclusion: The results showed that Plantago major L and Rosa damascene herbal ointment was effective in accelerating the recovery time and wound healing.Trial registration: IRCT.ir, IRCT20100130003227N13.

Background: The effect of environmental factors on genetically susceptible individuals is a basic link in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a class of synthetic organic fluorine chemicals, which have been mass-produced and widely used in the past 60 years, and also have been shown to be one of the major pollutants affecting human health. The impact of fluoride on the development of RA is unclear. This study explored the relationship between common fluoride and clinical manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: A cohort of 155 patients with RA and 145 health controls in Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine were investigated. Serum concentrations of all fluoride detected were higher in RA patients than in healthy controls. There were 43 male patients and 112 female patients in the RA cohort. Some of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFOA, PFNA, PFTrA, PFOS) were correlated negatively with the Body Mass Index (BMI); some of them (PFOA, PFNA, PFTrA, PFOS, 8:2Cl-PFESA) were correlated positively with the Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28); two (PFOA, PFOS) of them were correlated positively with the white blood cell count, and one (PFUnA) of them was correlated negatively with the hemoglobin; two (PFDA, PFUnA) of them were correlated negatively with the presence of interstitial lung disease. Conclusion. These data suggest that exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances may promote the disease activity of rheumatoid arthritis and the visceral lesions.

Background: Perioperative statin therapy can have pleiotropic effects beyond reducing plasma cholesterol level. Whether perioperative statin therapy can reduce surgical infection after cardiac surgery remains unclear. We aimed to assess whether preoperative statin therapy is associated with a reduced risk of surgical site infections and pneumonia after cardiac surgery.Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 1902 adult patients who had cardiac surgery between February 2015 and April 2019 at a major cardiothoracic centre in Western Australia. The primary outcomes were surgical site infections and pneumonia; secondary outcomes were inotrope requirement, duration of mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stay, and 30-day mortality. We used propensity-score matching to minimise confounding.Results: Following propensity-score matching (N=1098), patients on preoperative statins (n=551) were associated with a reduced risk of postoperative wound infections (0.7% vs 13.9%, adjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.010, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.001-0.075, P<0.001) and pneumonia (38.3% vs 52.5%, adjusted OR 0.359, 95% CI 0.278-0.464, P<0.001). The length of ICU (40.7 hrs vs 46.0 hrs, P=0.001) and hospital stay (9 days vs 10 days, P=0.016) were both also significantly shorter among those treated with preoperative statin than those without statin therapy. In the subgroup of patients who underwent non-bypass-grafting surgery, preoperative statin was associated with a reduced risk of 30-day mortality (1.5% vs 5.5%, OR 0.106, 95% CI 0.014-0.812, P=0.028).Conclusions: Use of statin before cardiac surgery was associated with a reduced risk of postoperative surgical site infections and pneumonia.
