This study aimed to compare the effect of 4 different intracanal medicaments on the push-out bond strength of two sealers (AH Plus and MTA Fillapex). 100 single-rooted extracted premolar teeth were divided into 5 groups, with 20 samples in each group, one group being the control group. After cleaning and shaping procedures, the canals were filled with 4 different medicaments: calcium hydroxide, tri-antibiotic paste (TAP), Metapex, or Chlorhexidine (2%) gel for 2 weeks. Following this, the medicaments were rinsed away, and the samples in those sub-groups were obturated with gutta-percha/AH Plus or MTA Fillapex sealers. After 2 weeks of incubation, a 2-mm-thick middle section from each root was evaluated to test push-out strength. The obtained data were tabulated, and appropriate statistical analysis was performed (two-way ANOVA and LSD test). When comparing the average values, the bond strength values of AH Plus were significantly higher than those of MTA Fillapex (p<0.05) in all medicament groups. Based on the findings, we concluded that AH Plus had comparatively higher bond strength than MTA Fillapex. We also observed that AH Plus had higher bond strength in the presence of calcium hydroxide, whereas MTA Fillapex in the presence of Chlorhexidine. A comparison of the push-out bond strength shows that irrespective of the root canal segment or the final irrigant used, AH Plus showed higher values among all groups. The limitation of the current study was that the effect of TAP on the bond strength of endodontic sealers was not negative.

There is a special focus on using natural materials and herbal plants to prevent dental caries. Previous studies showed that some herbal plants have antimicrobial effects on oral pathogens. Thus we investigated the antimicrobial effects of three herbal extracts (Carum copticum, Phlomis bruguieri, and Marrubium parviflorum) on the growth of Streptococcus mutans, as the most important bacteria causing dental caries. First, plant methanolic extracts were prepared. Then, to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the three herbal extracts, the agar well diffusion method and MIC were performed. The biofilm formation was carried out using a broth dilution method with 2% glucose-supplemented BHIS in sterile 96-well microplates. Serial dilutions (50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.12 mg/ml) of extracts were prepared. Next, a 0.5 McFarland Suspension of S. mutans was added to wells. The inhibitory effect on biofilm formation was measured by the ELISA reader apparatus. The assay was repeated three times, and the average was calculated as 3. The results were compared with those of Chlorhexidine 0.2%. Carum copticum showed a better effect in the agar well diffusion method than others. MIC of the extracts of Carum coptimum, Phlomis bruguieri, and Marrubium parviflorum were 3.12, 6.25, and 12.5 mg/ml, respectively. Overall, the highest activity belonged to Carum copticum extract. For the anti-biofilm effect, the OD values of Carum copticum and Marrubium parviflorum were significantly different from that of Phlomis bruguieri. Although all of the methanolic herbal extracts can inhibit S. mutans growth and remove the biofilm, the effect of Carum copticum was better than Phlomis bruguieri and Marrubium parviflorum. Further studies are recommended to indicate how these extracts perform against the bacteria.

Gastric adenocarcinoma is a malignant neoplasm of the gastric mucosa composed of neoplastic cells and supporting stroma as with any neoplasm. Stromal myofibroblasts have an essential role in creating the tumor-promoting environment. They express certain substances, such as CD10. In this study, stromal CD10 expression was investigated by immunohistochemistry in gastric carcinoma, and its association with specific clinicopathological parameters was analyzed. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks of 80 gastric adenocarcinoma cases were collected retrospectively in a private laboratory of the Rizgary Teaching Hospital for 2 years (January 2018–January 2020). Finally, the immunohistochemical study of CD10 expression in stromal cells was performed. According to the results, stromal CD10 immunoreactivity was detected in 15% of the cases. Furthermore, a statistically significant correlation was observed between stromal CD10 and the tumor type (P=0.015). However, no statistically significant relationship was identified between stromal CD10 expression and patients' age, gender, lymphovascular invasion, lymph node status, and tumor stage and grade. The results suggest a statistically significant positive correlation between stromal CD10 expression and tumor type.

Communication skills are critical abilities that medical students need in their practice and further work, especially in interviewing patients. Interviews conducted efficiently are the basis for prescribing appropriate treatment and recovery. In this article, we presented methods and strategies of teaching foreign languages for developing skills and abilities in interviewing patients (professional purposes). The research was conducted from 2016 until 2018 in two groups of medical students studying Russian as a foreign language. In the first group, the teaching was carried out according to the strategy proposed by the authors. In the second group, the foreign language was taught according to the curriculum. The total number of students was 96 in both groups. The average of the total score and studying dynamics were calculated. Students in the first group with a three-stage methodological algorithm were more successful in finishing the course than the second group. The results section shows that the standard model of teaching the Russian language for international medical students can lead to misunderstanding and misreporting the current diagnosis. However, the strategy described in this article can be considered an effective algorithm for teaching international medical students.

Personality disorders can lead to difficult social or occupational functional processes rooted in chronic maladaptive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This study aimed to investigate factors of personality disorder in prisoners from the central prison of Sanandaj, Iran. We conducted a cross-sectional study, which included all prisoners in the central prison of Sanandaj, Iran. The study sample includes 343 prisoners, of which 329 were male, and 14 were female, selected by randomized multistage sampling method. Participants filled in Millon's multi-axis clinical questionnaire. The data were analyzed using Chi-square, multiple logistic regression, and bootstrap analysis. There were 183 participants without personality disorders (53.4%) and 99 participants (28.9%) with cluster B personality disorders (narcissistic, histrionic, anti-social, and borderline). Male gender (OR=0.07) and elementary education level (OR=0.18) have a significant relationship with cluster A personality disorders (paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal). Cluster B has a significant relationship only with the elementary education level (OR=0.27). Cluster C (avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder) has a significant relationship with male gender (OR=0.20), elementary education level (OR=0.30), unemployment (OR=2.64), theft crime types (OR=0.38) and disputes and assaults (OR=0.18). Based on these results, psychological and psychiatric interventions in prisoners are suggested.

This study aimed to determine the capacity of HIV in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid of patients, depending on the reception of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Paired blood and cerebrospinal fluid samples were examined in 116 HIV-infected patients to determine the level of viral load in both biological fluids and the number of blood CD4+ lymphocytes. In patients receiving ART, the difference between the load of HIV in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was significantly smaller than in untreated patients. Taking ART reduces the amount of HIV in the blood and CSF, but the dynamics of virus suppression in these biological fluids differ. The analysis revealed a statistically significant inverse relationship between the load of HIV in the blood and the number of CD4+ lymphocytes in untreated patients. There is a clear moderate positive correlation between the level of viremia and the clinical stage of HIV infection, as well as the duration of the disease. The number of CD4+ lymphocytes was expected to be inversely weakly correlated with the clinical stage of HIV infection and its duration. Accordingly, a direct correlation of mean strength was found between the levels of viral load in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid. There was a significant increase in the difference between the levels of HIV load in the blood and CSF compared with the average value in 25.6% of patients.

Nowadays, implant dentistry is strongly interconnected to bone augmentation procedures. Lateral ridge augmentation is often an imperative treatment stage for successful, prosthetic-driven implant placement. This study aimed to comparatively analyze the immediate postoperative complications of two horizontal bone grafting procedures: sticky bone and bone shell technique. Records of patients with lateral ridge augmentation were analyzed to identify immediate postoperative complications. The study group included 80 patients divided into 40 control (bone-shell technique – BS) and 40 tests (sticky bone –SB). More patients reported moderate and severe pain in the BS – group (11 patients – 27.5%) than in the SB group (6 patients – 15%). In the BS group, the incidence of severe and moderate trismus, neurosensory disturbances, and important hematoma was higher. There was an increased inflammatory response following the bone shell technique, while the sticky bone technique proved reduced surgical morbidity. There was no difference between the two groups in the risk of dehiscence or infection.

Differentiated thyroid tumors (DTC) are the most common indolent tumors associated with a good prognosis compared with other tumors. Its incidence during the last few decades has increased. DTC includes papillary carcinoma and follicular carcinoma. The BRAF is the most prevalent genetic mutation in thyroid carcinoma, occurring in more than 50% of papillary thyroid cancers (PTCs). The study aimed to evaluate BRAF expression in differentiated thyroid tumors with papillary-like nuclear features. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks (FFPE) were collected from archival samples of patients in private histopathology labs in Al-Najaf city from 55 cases, which included 27 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) cases, 10 cases of NIFTP, 13 FVPTC cases, 2 papillary microcarcinoma cases, and 3 NIFTP coexist with papillary microcarcinoma cases. All samples were stained using the immunohistochemistry method in the Middle Euphrates unit for cancer research at the University of Kufa/Faculty of Medicine. 15/55 (27.3%) of cases increased BRAF expression. The BRAF expression was statistically significant with tumor type (p=0.008). The higher expression was associated with 13 (48.15%) of PTC cases. However, the BRAF expression did not correlate with gender (p=0.2), tumor size (p=0.07), and tumor focality (p=0.09). BRAF V600E has prognostic value as it correlates with tumor progression.

In an increasingly competitive health care market, family physicians have to elaborate and implement new strategies to attract potential patients. A useful and powerful method is word-of-mouth (WOM) because it shapes the consumers' attitudes and behaviours. Based on the recommendations of actual consumers, potential health care patients choose their family physicians. The aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness of WOM in family medicine and determine the key factors in recommending a certain family physician. The sample consisted of 338 patients under the supervision of a family physician, and the instrument for collecting data was a self-administered questionnaire. The findings revealed that the most important factors in spreading WOM are the communication skills and the expertise of the family physician. In addition, for patients between 27–33 years and 41–47 years, expertise is an absolute skill, whereas, for the health care consumers between 21 and 26 years, communication skills are essential in spreading WOM. Further, WOM becomes relevant in the family physician's activity as it may contribute to the delivery of value and in building sustainable physician-patient relationships.

The Covid-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the treatment of colon cancer. This was due to the redistribution of doctors and medical resources to empower the treatment of Sars-CoV-2-infected patients. Moreover, the restrictions imposed by the authorities on the general population and hospitals were other key elements that had to be taken into consideration. The surgical activity was massively reduced for both elective and emergency surgeries during the pandemic; initially, the elective ones were postponed. This study aimed to analyze the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the 90-day postoperative mortality rate of patients who underwent emergency surgery for colon cancer in the First General Surgery Clinic of Pius Brinzeu County Hospital Timisoara. For conducting this study, data from patients who underwent emergency surgery for colon cancer between 26.02.2020–01.10.2021 and the same period of 2016–2017 and 2018–2019 were collected and analyzed, with a p<0.05 being considered statistically significant. As a result, the 90-days postoperative mortality rate increased to 34.5% during the pandemic. A 22.55% rate was observed during 2016–2017 and an 18.4% rate in 2018–2019. In addition, during the pandemic, correlations w ere identified between the presence of 90-day postoperative mortality and severe symptomatology when presenting to the hospital, stage of the disease, and Charlson comorbidity index. All these aspects influenced the 90-days mortality rate of patients undergoing emergency surgery to treat colon cancer during the pandemic.

From the Rock to the Grave Plate: Image of the Stone in V. Shalamov’s Lyrics
Authors: Krotova D. V.
Published: November 2022

Purpose. The article detects and examines the main directions of interpreting the image of the stone in V. Shalamov’s poetic heritage. Results. This image acquires the significance of one of the most important symbols reflecting key features of the world outlook of the “Kolyma Notebooks” author. Using the hermeneutic and comparative analysis methods, we distinguish in a wide range of ontological interpretations of the image of the stone in Shalamov’s lyrics two opposite vectors. One is connected with the paradoxical convergence of the image of stone and the image of man, when the stone turns out to be a kind of projection of personality, endowed with thoughts and feelings, and sometimes the lyrical hero perceives the stone as his double, his “second self”. Another vector is characterized by a sharp contrast between the “human nature” and “the stone” as something dead and frozen, hostile to person and to life as a whole. Conclusion. To sum up, the image of the stone belongs to the core of Shalamov’s poetic world and has a great worldview meaning. The essential features of Shalamov’s poetic thinking are revealed through the prism of this image: objectivity, certainty of images, perception of reality objects in their integrity and clarity of faces. These features connect Shalamov’s consciousness with the acmeistic tradition. The work is based on the materials stored in the Russian State Archive of Literature and Arts besides Shalamov's published texts.

The review on the scientific seminar in memoriam of Professor V. V. Babaytseva devoted to the problem of multiaspectiveness of the language and speech units. The seminar took place online on the digital platform of Novosibirsk National Research State University and joined scholars from twelve universities of Russia (Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Orel, Ufa, Novosibirsk, Vladivostok) and China (Beijing). Different scientific directions were presented there: the School of synchronous transitivity (formed by Vera Vasilievna Babaitseva) and Novosibirsk syntactic school (formed by Maya Ivanovna Cheremisina). Presented reports covered number of topical grammar issues of the modern Russian language: problems of morphology discussed by Natalia Petrova, Anna Bertiakova, Elena Sorokina, and Maria Milovanova; problems of syntax addressed by Natalia Koshkareva, Irina Vysotskaya, and Larisa Bednarskaya. The seminar’s main theme was the linguistic mechanisms behind the formation of grammatical semantics and ways of its interpreting. A number of accounts were based on the literary language of Alexander Pushkin (a report by Irina Fadeeva), Nikolai Gogol (a report by Ekaterina Ogoltseva), Vasiliy Shukshin (a report by Galiya Khisamova). Zhou Haiyan presented her monograph “The Study of Transient Phenomena in Russian Grammar” (Beijing: Peking University, 2021). Maria Milovanova announced the publication of a collective monograph “General and Russian Linguoaxiology” (Moscow: Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Pushkin State Institute of Russian Language, 2022) A report by Tatiana Guskova expressed the idea of a multiple-aspect study of Professor Babaitseva's creative heritage.

Purpose. The article examines the features of the representation of the concept BEAUTY in the poetry of Pavel Vasiliev. In his work, there is a transcultural symbiosis of Russian and Kazakh aesthetic canons of beauty.

Results. Typically Kazakh features of a person's appearance look aesthetically attractive for the poet. He considers eyebrows to be an important part of a human beauty. A peculiar artistic interpretation of this detail of appearance is manifested in the epithets, in a dynamic metaphorical model [EYEBROWS → are BIRDS]. A relevant sign of beauty is the harmony – the proportionality of a person’s figure. The peculiarities of understanding the beauty of a woman in clude close attention to such details of clothes and shoes as a skirt, a shawl and heels. The skirt in the process of metonymization replaces the woman [SKIRT instead of A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN]. Semiotically relevant is the characteristic of clothing made by the fabric – chintz, silk. In the semiosis of fabric as a sign of class affiliation and financial situation, such mechanism of analogy as the metonymy is involved. Developing and supplementing the ideas of oppositeness of external and internal beauty of a person and the localization of the internal beauty in his eyes, Pavel Vasiliev defines the locus of a spiritual beauty in a smile, in the corners of a woman's lips.

Conclusion. The concept of BEAUTY in Vasiliev’s poetry has the individual and author's artistic and aesthetic features, and preserves the folk aesthetic ideal of beauty at its core.
Semantics and Ways of Expressing the Plural of Nouns in Russian and Japanese Languages
Authors: Kutafeva N. V.
Published: November 2022

Purpose. The study compares the ways to express the plural, as well as categories connected with these ways, and the semantics of plurality in Russian and Japanese languages which are genetically and typologically unrelated: Russian is an inflectional language and Japanese is an agglutinative one.

Results. There is a grammatical category of singular and plural in Russian. This category is missing in Japanese, but there is a lexical-semantic category. The concept of singularity and plurality is not represented in Japanese. Number may be actualized by the speaker if the object (animate or inanimate) enters the speaker’s personal zone or a personification takes place. There is only one way to express plurality in Russian – by using flexions of plurality. There are four ways to do that in Japanese which are markers of plurality, classifiers, reduplication and combined dvandva (a word with coordinative connection between components of the whole word). The usage of inflections to express plurality is mandatory in Russian, but the usage of plurality markers in Japanese is probabilistic.

Conclusion. A common category for Russian and Japanese languages which is important for expressing plurality is the category of animation. The similar meanings of plurality both in Russian and in Japanese is collective, representative and indefinite discrete plurality expressed in different ways.
Nominal Morphology of the Tver Karelian Translation of “Gospel of Mark”
Authors: Novak I. P.
Published: November 2022

The article presents the results of an analysis of the nominal inflectional system of a two-centuries-old account of the Tver Karelian written language – the Gospel of Mark "Маркешта Святой Іôванӷели" translated into the Kozlovo subdialect of the Karelian language in 1820. This study is of high relevance due to the absence of papers describing the morphological system features of the language of this account, which is a key element in the study of the Karelian language history and dialectology. As part of the work, the materials from the translated text were compared to the data gathered during the linguistic expedition to the Kozlovо area of the Tver Karelian settlement in the summer of 2020, as well as to the data from the handwritten grammar of the Tver Karelian language by A. A. Belyakov (1948) and the grammar of the new scripted variant of the Tver Karelian language, based on dialectal material for the same group of subdialects as the translation of the Gospel. In addition, the revealed features are compared to the materials of other Karelian supradialects and dialects, both contemporary and presented in late 19th century descriptions. The article examines two grammatical categories of nominals: the number and the case. The analysis of the material led to the conclusion that the language of the manuscript is archaic, and also revealed a number of phenomena that were not presented in modern Tver Karelian subdialects and helped to identify the innovative features of relatively recent origin in the subdialects.
Foundation, Options and Forms of Interface Between Synergetics and Socio-Humanities Knowledge (Exemplified by Separatism Processes)
Authors: Ermakov E. S.
Published: November 2022

The article deals with the problem of the convergence between social and humanities knowledge and synergetics as a set of methodological principles. N.S. Rozov’s Theoretical History as a Scientific Research Program is taken as a separate field of social and humanities knowledge. It is proposed to consider the correlation of methodological principles of synergetics and theoretical and methodological provisions of Theoretical History by means of the methodological Principle of Complementarity. The heuristics of this correlation and possible forms of its implementation are exemplified by the study of separatism.

Authors:   Ufa Eye Research Institute, Ufa, Bikbov M.M. , Khalimov T.A. ,   Ufa Eye Research Institute, Ufa
Published: November 2022

Purpose. To study the morphofunctional state of the rabbit eye after intravitreal injection of epidermal growth factor. Material and methods. In an experiment on rabbits, intravitreal course administration of Eberprot-P containing recombinant epidermal growth factor (EGF) at a dose of 100 ng was carried out. 7 and 30 days after each injection, biomicroscopy and ophthalmoscopy of the eye, optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the fundus in vivo were performed. Morphological studies were performed according to the generally accepted method with staining of histological preparations with hematoxylin and eosin. The cell density of the ganglionic layer, the inner and outer nuclear layers of the retina was assessed. SPSS software for Windows was used for statistical analysis. Results. Biomicroscopic and ophthalmoscopic studies of the intraocular structures of the experimental eyes did not reveal signs of edema or intraocular inflammation, toxic or irritant effects of intravitreal injection. There were no pathological changes in the form of cataracts, Tyndall's phenomenon in the anterior chamber moisture, vitreous opacities, retinal infiltrates. According to OCT data, the retinal thickness remained unchanged: 158 ± 5µm versus the control 158 ± 3µm (p = 1.0), no retinal wrinkling effects were detected. The morphological picture of the intraocular tissues of the eye after intravitreal injection was characterized by the absence of any pathological changes in the architectonics of the layers and cellular structures of the retina. Histomorphometric analysis showed no difference in the cell density of the ganglion layer, inner and outer nuclear layers of the retina of the experimental and control eyes of animals. Conclusion. Intravitreal application of EGF in rabbits does not cause intraocular specific inflammation or any destructive effects in the retina, which indicates the potential for its clinical use in the treatment of dystrophic retinal diseases. Keywords: epidermal growth factor, retina, intravitreal injection, morphology, histomorphometry

Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Pirogova Lyudmila I.
Published: November 2022

The article discusses issues related to developing processes of speech-thinking activity among students studying a foreign language in a non-linguistic university. The author mainly focuses on the ways of formation of cognitive activity. Modern innovative methods of teaching a foreign language are aimed at developing students’ speech-thinking skills and increasing their intellectual activity. Thanks to the variety and flexibility of techniques and methods, the teacher gives students the opportunity to develop their own strategies of cognitive initiative, the universality of which will find application in different fields of knowledge. In the process of learning a foreign language, students cultivate communicative mobility as the ability to quickly and adequately respond to external challenges in the process of communication. Learning a foreign language greatly contributes to meeting this challenge, since it is the key to not only perceiving the world around you, but also your inner one, as well as stimulates memory processes, promotes the development of multitasking and concentration. A foreign language in a non-linguistic university is located at the junction of disciplines while being a valuable source for getting acquainted with the experience of foreign experts which allows students to dive deeper into the sphere of professional interests
LOSS OF THE LISTENER WHEN TEACHING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Notkin Leonid I.
Published: November 2022

The author makes an attempt to return listening to its rightful place in communication in general and educational communication in particular. Significance of listening is hard to overvalue not only because it cannot be extracted from communication but mostly because it is listening that turns communication from one-way transmission of information into interaction i.e. into process of mutual influence. An experiment has been run in order to prove that listening is not just keeping silence necessary to digest information but activity that has impact on the speaker himself – the experiment showed that speaker’s awareness of listener’s availability changed the content of his speech. The article also analyses the specifics of verbal communication on the internet. It is assumed that internet capabilities provide opportunity for screen image idealization by shoving ready-made answers to what is usually controlled by users themselves and thus raise the comfort of virtual communication. Possibilities of “effective listening” based not only on the meaning of the statement spoken but also upon the value of the speaker’s personality are analyzed in the article. Suggestion has been made those principles of “effective listening” could be helpful for English language teaching
