Published: December 2018

Background:

Observational studies in Asia show that dietary intake of soy isoflavones had a significant inverse association with coronary heart disease (CHD). A recent randomized controlled trial (RCT) of soy isoflavones on atherosclerosis in the US, however, failed to show their benefit. The discrepancy may be due to the much lower prevalence of S-equol producers in Westerners: Only 20-30% of Westerners produce S-equol in contrast to 50-70% in Asians. S-equol is a metabolite of dietary soy isoflavone daidzein by gut microbiome and possesses the most antiatherogenic properties among all isoflavones. Several short-duration RCTs documented that soy isoflavones improves arterial stiffness. Accumulating evidence shows that both atherosclerosis and arterial stiffness are positively associated with cognitive decline/dementia. Therefore, potentially, soy isoflavones, especially S-equol, are protective against cognitive decline/dementia.  Methods/Results: This narrative review of clinical and epidemiological studies provides an overview of the health benefits of soy isoflavones and introduces S-equol. Second, we review recent evidence on the association of soy isoflavones and S-equol with CHD, atherosclerosis, and arterial stiffness as well as the association of atherosclerosis and arterial stiffness with cognitive decline/ dementia. Third, we highlight recent studies that report the association of soy isoflavones and S-equol with cognitive decline/dementia. Lastly, we discuss the future directions of clinical and epidemiological research on the relationship of S-equol and CHD and dementia.

Conclusions:

Evidence from observational studies and short-term RCTs suggests that S-equol is anti-atherogenic and improves arterial stiffness and may prevent CHD and cognitive impairment/ dementia. Well-designed long-term (≥ 2years) RCTs should be pursued.

Published: December 2018

Background:

Phytases are enzymes capable of degrading phytic acid and used in animal
feed supplementation in order to improve digestibility through the release of minerals such as
phosphorus.

Objective:

The main goal of this study was to express and characterize a Yersinia intermedia phytase
expressed in Escherichia coli cells.

Methods:

The Y. intermedia phytase gene was synthesized and overexpressed in Escherichia coli
cells. The phytase recombinante (rPHY) was purified to homogeneity using a Ni-NTA column. The
biochemical and biophysical properties of the rPHY were measured in order to fully characterize
the recombinant enzyme. The following patents database were consulted: Espacenet, USPTO,
LATIPAT, Patent Scope, WIPO and Google Patents.

Results:

The results showed that the rPHY is active at 37-40ºC and presented an optimal pH and
temperature of 8.0 and 40°C, respectively. The phytase rPHY was activated by Cu2+ ion and
showed resistance to trypsin and pepsin, retaining 55% of the activity at the ratio of 0.02. Furthermore,
the dissociation constant (Kd = 1.1150 ± 0.0087 mM), as estimated by a fluorescence binding
assay, suggests a medium affinity of the enzyme with the substrate.

Conclusion:

The results of this article can be considered as innovative and for this reason, they
were protected by Intellectual Property Law in Brazil. Take together, the biochemical properties of
the rPHY could be useful in future for its industrial application of this enzyme as an additive in the
monogastric feed.
Relay Selection-aware Non-orthogonal Multiple Access Networks: Direct and Relaying Mode
Authors: Do Dinh-Thuan , V. Nguyen Minh-Sang
Published: December 2018

Objective:

In this paper, Decode-and-Forward (DF) mode is deployed in the Relay Selection
(RS) scheme to provide better performance in cooperative downlink Non-orthogonal Multiple
Access (NOMA) networks. In particular, evaluation regarding the impact of the number of multiple
relays on outage performance is presented.

Methods:

As main parameter affecting cooperative NOMA performance, we consider the scenario of
the fixed power allocations and the varying number of relays. In addition, the expressions of outage
probabilities are the main metric to examine separated NOMA users. By matching related results between
simulation and analytical methods, the exactness of derived formula can be verified.

Results:

The intuitive main results show that in such cooperative NOMA networks, the higher the
number of relays equipped, the better the system performance can be achieved.

Conclusion:

DF mode is confirmed as a reasonable selection scheme to improve the transmission quality
in NOMA. In future work, we will introduce new relay selections to achieve improved performance.
Internationalisation of Healthcare: A fairer approach for local patients

Published: December 2018

Malaysia is among the selected countries for medical tourism due to its excellent healthcare services. Nevertheless, there are concerns if service providers are balancing the local and foreign patients' healthcare demands due to the similarities and differences in their behaviour on these two groups. Through literature analysis, it is found that the lack of discussion on medical practitioners' behaviour towards local patients, this paper aims to analyse that unhealthy behaviour towards local patients is profound. Hence, the discussions are hoped to spark the policy-makers' attention in restructuring the healthcare policy to realign the medical practitioners' behaviour in both patient groups.

A school library that exists in all levels of schools is a facility that supports the process of productive learningfor thefuffillment of information needs especially literature and the information deriving from the teachers. This article is written in response to the problem encountered in school libraries particularly at the elementary school at Subdistrict of Minggir District of Sleman with poor facilities, limited collection and aquisition and management. These conditions will indirectly affect the utilization of the school library by the teachers at elementary schools. This writing is meant to help teachers at elementary schools to understand the meaning of the library within the school. Approach to the analysis is based on the theory of social construction introduced by Peter L. Berger mtd T. Luclcrnan. We can use the concept of meaning and rests on thefact that there are objective reality, symbolic reality, and subjective reality. It is emphasized that the objective reality would affect the return to a subjective reality through a process of internalization. Subjective reality is inseparable from the process of socialization. Subjective reality affects the externalization process at the end. This condition can be associated with the birth of understanding what has been and will be done by the teacher in an elementary school library in the symbolic reality. Finally, this study reveals that there are two typologies ofteachers; professional staffmembers and deserter.

Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa luasan mangrove pada tahun 1994 sebesar 392,45 ha dan luasan mangrove pada tahun 2017 mengalami penurunan menjadi 233,12 ha. Perubahan luasan mangrove dalam kurun waktu 23 tahun sebesar 159,34 ha atau sebesar 40,59%. Perubahan kawasan mangrove pada umumnya disebabkan oleh faktor antropogenik seperti penebangan, perubahan fungsi kawasan mangrove menjadi jalan, jembatan, pemukiman dan perubahan secara alami. ABSTRACTThe condition of mangrove in Youtefa Bay both qualitatively and quantitatively has decreased from year to year. This research was conducted to determine how much of the change occurring mangrove area in Youtefa Bay, Jayapura City from 1994 to 2017 by using Landsat 5 TM images and Landsat 8 OLI. Monitoring of mangrove condition in the field used GPS, and processing of images used NDVI algorithm with supervised classification. The map was overlaying satellite imagery interpretation to determine the distribution and changes of mangrove area. The result of research showed that the mangrove area in 1994 was about 392.45 hectares, mangrove area in 2017 have decreased becoming was 233.12 hectares. Changing of mangrove area for 23 years was about 159.34 hectares or 40.59%. Changes in mangrove were generally caused by anthropogenic factors such as logging, changes over the function of mangroves into the road, bridge, settlement, and change naturally.

Aim:
Quantify hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) costs in German patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL).
Methods:
The primary outcome was direct and indirect costs in patients with ALL/DLBCL/FL who received HSCT between 2010 and 2014. Costs were evaluated two to four quarters before to eight quarters after HSCT.
Results:
Among 258 patients with HSCT, direct costs were €290,125/patient (pediatric ALL), €246,266/patient (adult ALL), €230,399/patient (DLBCL/FL allogeneic) and €107,457/patient (DLBCL/FL autologous). Indirect costs with HSCT were €52,939/patient (adult ALL), €20,285/patient (DLBCL/FL allogeneic) and €29,881/patient (DLBCL/FL autologous).
Conclusion:
Direct and indirect costs associated with HSCT are substantial for patients with ALL, DLBCL and FL. Novel therapies that reduce HSCT use could reduce medical costs.
La obsidiana como un bien de intercambio entre el valle de Toluca y sus regiones circunvecinas durante el Clásico

Published: December 2018

La relación entre Teotihuacan, Estado que dominó durante siglos una vasta región mesoamericana, y el valle de Toluca, que formó parte de su hinterland, ha sido fundamental para esclarecer los procesos históricos de este valle. Dicha relación se hace presente en la cultura material por múltiples manifestaciones, desde la vida cotidiana hasta la cosmovisión. Este estudio se centra en torno a la problemática rela-
 cionada con la circulación de la obsidiana, la cual constituye uno de los temas relevantes para lograr una aproximación correcta a los procesos históricos del Altiplano central de México. Se ha propuesto que el control sobre algunos yacimientos y la circulación de esta materia prima, considerada insustituible en las sociedades prehispánicas, ha sido primordial para el desarrollo del Estado teotihuacano. El presente escrito estudia el vínculo que se establece entre el valle y el gran Estado con base en los análisis de la obsidiana de diversos yacimientos identificados mediante la revisión macroscópica, así como por la aplicación del INAA y XRF al material proveniente de excavaciones de los sitios con cronología comprendida entre el Clásico y el Epiclásico: Santa Cruz Atizapán y San Mateo Atenco. Éste se compara, a su vez, con el material de algunos contextos teotihuacanos con el fin de esclarecer la implicación histórica en la relación entre ambas regiones en el ámbito del intercambio.

La relación entre patrimonio cultural y pueblos indígenas.
Authors: Oehmichen Bazán Cristina
Published: December 2018

Uno de los temas que hoy se discuten en el ámbito latinoamericano, es el de la relación entre patrimonio cultural y pueblos indígenas.   A partir del reconocimiento constitucional de los derechos indígenas en diversos países, así como la aprobación del Convenio 169 de la OIT y de la Declaración de los Derechos Humanos de los Pueblos Indígenas, se analizan los derechos de los pueblos indígenas respecto al patrimonio cultural del pasado, sean los monumentos arqueológicos, los vestigios de la época precolombina  y todos aquellos objetos de la cultura material museográfica.   El espectro de la discusión es tan amplio y polifacético, que puede ser abordado desde diversas perspectivas.  Es por ello que hay que agradecer a un grupo de investigadores chilenos que se unieron para reflexionar al respecto y publicaron en libro “Patrimonio y pueblos indígenas. Reflexiones desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria e intercultural” de Margarita Alvarado,  Luis Campos, Francisco Gallardo y otros,  CIIR, Pehuén Editores S.A., ISBN 978-956-16-0664-7, Chile 2016, 215 pág. 
Rus, J., Rus, D. L. y Guzmán Bakbolom, S. (2016). El Taller Tzotzil 1985-2002. Un proyecto colaborativo de investigación y publicación en los Altos de Chiapas.
Authors: Pitarch Ramón Pedro
Published: December 2018

Este libro me parece un documento extraordinario. Recopila seis narraciones sobre la historia indígena reciente de Chiapas publicadas entre los años 1986 y 2000 por el programa de publicaciones "Taller Tzotzil" de San Cristóbal de las Casas. Es extraordinario, en sentido estricto, por dos razones: primero, porque presenta un fresco de la experiencia indígena de las últimas seis o siete décadas producido por indígenas en una lengua indígena (tzotzil, con traducción al español), y, segundo, porque representa un elocuente experimento de etnografía e historiografía colaborativa. El resultado es un espléndido trabajo de política interétnica.

Ibogaine, administered as a single oral dose (1-25 mg/kg body weight), has been used as an addiction-interrupting agent. Its effects persist for up to 72 h. Ex vivo results showed that ibogaine induced cellular energy consumption and restitution, followed by increased reactive oxygen species production and antioxidant activity. Therefore, the aim of this work was to explore the effect of a single oral dose of ibogaine (1 or 20 mg/kg body weight) on antioxidative defenses in rat liver and erythrocytes. Six and 24 h after ibogaine administration, histological examination showed glycogenolytic activity in hepatocytes, which was highest after 24 h in animals that received 20 mg/kg ibogaine. There were no changes in the activities of superoxide dismutases, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and glutathione-S-transferase in the liver and erythrocytes after ibogaine treatment, regardless of the dose. Hepatic xanthine oxidase activity was elevated in rats that received 20 mg/kg compared to the controls (p<0.01), suggesting faster adenosine turnover. TBARS concentration was elevated in the group treated with 1 mg/kg after 24 h compared to the controls (p<0.01), suggesting mild oxidative stress. Our results show that ibogaine treatment influenced hepatic redox homeostasis, but not sufficiently to remodel antioxidant enzyme activities at 6 and 24 h post-ibogaine application.
