Cellular and Molecular Mechanism of Liver Fibrosis: A Critical Insight
Authors: Ranjan Parida Gnyana , Pattnaik Gurudutta , Behera Amulyaratna
Published: December 2021

Diseases are there, some are curable but certain diseases are life threatening. The dreadfulness of liver fibrosis created much attention in 21st century among pharmaceutical researchers. Usually liver fibrosis is asymptomatic and patients with advanced cirrhosis symptoms will have limited scope for reversibility. Recognition of asymptomatic individuals by considering them as critical is the fundamental step to control the liver-related morbidity and mortality. By reviewing the previous mortality analysis around the globe it is reported that liver fibrosis is the second leading cause of mortality in US, fifth most common cause of death in Germany, UK as well as tenth most frequent cause of fatality in India and around 10 lakh patients are diagnosed globally in every year. Liver fibrosis often leads to cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and progress towards liver failure which results due to excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, especially collagen type-1 contributed by hepatic stellate cells. The current study is based on for analyzing the molecular basis of liver fibrosis so that, it will be helpful for finding its route cause in cellular level which will guide as a future direction for developing new theranostic approaches for the early diagnosis of liver fibrosis.
A Review on Metformin: Clinical Significance and Side Effects
Authors: Avijit Mazumder , Ashini Singh
Published: December 2021

Metformin is a biguanide that has been used extensively worldwide for the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus. It improves glycaemic control by enhancing insulin sensitivity in liver and muscle. An advantage of metformin treatment is the tendency of weight reduction and the absence of significant hypoglycaemia; blood glucose levels are reduced only to normal as it does not stimulate insulin secretion. Metformin also has a beneficial effect on several cardiovascular risk factors including dyslipidemia, elevated plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 levels, other fibrinolytic abnormalities, hyperinsulinemia, and insulin resistance. Metformin enhances muscle and adipocyte insulin receptor number and/or affinity, increases insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity, stimulates glucose transport and glycogen synthesis, and reduces both hepatic gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. The disadvantages are confined to the gastro-intestinal side effects and the potential risk of vitamin B 12 and folic acid deficiency during long-term use. These side effects can be minimized by slow titration and consumption with meals. The under lying mechanism for gastrointestinal intolerance are proposed to be stimulation of intestinal secretion of serotonin, alteration in incretin and metabolism of glucose, and malabsorption of bile salts. Lactic acidosis is rare contraindication associated with metformin. Most reported cases of lactic acidosis occur in patients with contraindications, particularly impaired renal function. Metformin has a good safety profile, efficacy and comparatively reduced cost. Its ability to improve insulin sensitivity and the cardiovascular risk profile of type II diabetic patients has enhanced its clinical use as first-line therapy.

Published: December 2021

Carica papaya has been used for centuries in many non-Western medical practices (e.g., Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese and Vietnamese, Unani) for its homeostatic and health-promoting properties. Anecdotal reports have recently surfaced indicating the daily consumption of tea extract made from C. papaya has been related to cancer remission, including remission from certain advanced solid tumor cancers. As a result, we set out to investigate C. papaya leaf extract's in vitro effects on human cancer cells as well as its in vivo effects in cancer patients using scientific methodologies.The phytochemical composition of C. papaya leaf extract was determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LC-MS), immune-modulatory and anti-cancer properties were analyzed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and various solid tumor cell lines, and clinical laboratory measurements were examined in 116 cancer patients who obtained capsules of C. papaya leaf extract.Our findings suggest that C. papaya has a lot of promise as an adjuvant therapy for certain cancers, and further research is required. In cultured cancer cells, papaya extract tends to be toxic, meaning that it may be used as a drug. For the first time, scientists discovered that papaya leaf extract increases the development of Th1-type cytokines, which are important signaling molecules. In addition to papaya's direct anti-tumor effect on a variety of cancers, this immune system control indicates potential cancer-fighting therapeutic strategies. Th1-type cytokines are important signaling molecules that are increased by papaya leaf extract. Researchers subjected 10 different types of cancer cell cultures to four strengths of papaya leaf extract and assessed the effect after 24 hours, preventing a typical and destructive outcome of many cancer therapy regimens. In every society, papaya inhibited tumor growth.

Organ Nakli Konusunda İstidlal Edilen Hadisler ve Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: ÇETİN Mehmet
Published: December 2021

İslam dini, insanların hem dünya hem de ahiret saadetini sağlamayı hedefleyen bir dindir. İnsanın dünya saadeti için, beden ve ruh sağlığını korumaya yönelik bazı emirler vermiştir. Bedenini ayakta tutacak yeterli gıdayı almasını, hastalandığında iyileşmek için gerekli çabayı göstermesini emretmiştir. Akıl ve beden sağlığını korumak için içki ve uyuşturucu maddeleri kullanmasını, kendini yaralama veya intihar etme gibi sağlığına ve canına zarar verebilecek girişimleri haram kılmıştır. Ruh sağlığını korumak için iman etmesini, imanını muhafaza edebilmek için ibadetlerini düzenli yapmasını emretmiş; toplumda huzur içinde yaşayabilmesi için tevazu, yardımseverlik, selamlaşmak, hasta ziyareti, sıla-i rahim gibi çok önemli prensipler vaz‘ etmiştir. Beden sağlığı açısından, organların fonksiyonlarını yitirmesi, insanı ölüme sürükleyecek seviyede iflas etmesi gibi hayatı zorlaştıran veya ölüme sebep olan durumlarda, Tıp biliminin imkanları dahilinde insana organ nakli yapılmaya başlanmıştır. Organ yetmezliği gibi sebeplerle yaşamda zorluk yaşayan veya hayati tehlikeyle karşı karşıya olan insanlara organ bağışı yapmak, bazı İslam alimlerine göre dünyada insan canını kurtarmaya ahirette sevaba nail olmaya vesiledir. Tıp bilimini doğrudan ilgilendiren bu meselenin dini yönü ortaya konulurken hadislerden de yararlanılmaktadır. Biz bu çalışmada, organ nakliyle alakalı ilmî çalışmalarda istidlâl edilen hadisleri incelemeye ve değerlendirmeye çalışacağız. Bu çalışma bir yönüyle fıkhu’l-hadîs yani hadisleri anlama, şer‘î küllî kaidelerle hadislerden hüküm istinbât etmenin pratiğinin incelenmesidir.
Green Building Practices on Waste Minimization in China Construction Industry
Authors: Lee Bernice Xin Yi , Ponraj Mohanadoss , Widyasamratri Hasti , Wang Jie
Published: December 2021

In China, a common practice for construction waste management is to dispose of it in landfills. A 5% construction waste recycling rate and ongoing insufficient landfilling practice resulted in decreased environmental and socioeconomic well-being. Management hierarchy that starts with rethink, redesign, reduce, reuse, refurbish, recycle, incineration, and finally disposal is a probable strategy to facilitate construction waste minimization in China. The green building concept pursued by China also served as a promising tool in evaluating the performance of Chinese green buildings. Barriers include lack of standard operating procedure in waste minimization, immature recycling technology and an undeveloped recycling market, leading to poor performance in construction waste minimization. Several strategies are proposed to ameliorate the current condition in China's construction sector. Even though results reveal that China falls behind in the engagement of green building compared to developed countries, green materials are utilized in various building structures such as flooring, roofs, walls, and outdoor pavements. Lastly, the benefits and shortcomings of two green material technologies, in particular material selection and recycling, applied in China were reviewed.
Additions to the itinerary of King Sigismund’s travels along the Rhine (1414–1418)
Authors: Szanka Brigitta
Published: December 2021

It is a well-known fact in research that medieval German rulers also used river routes during their travels. In recent years, however, there has been an increasingly in-depth and comprehensive investigation of the actual rivers to which and the periods of time from which the imperial river cruises can be traced. The question of whether the waterway or land route was preferred when approaching the riverbankshas also been raised by a more recent researchers. Obviously, late medieval source materials provide more information on this issue, thus the reign of Sigismund of Luxembourg can also be covered by this field of research. By examining King Sigismund's travels on the Rhine it can be stated that the monarch took a boat wherever he could on the middle and upper reaches of the Rhineland, regardless of the direction of the river, unless his governmental policy required him to leave the Rhine. On the Constance-Basel route, however, he did not necessarily take advantage of the opportunities for navigation, and it seems that he sometimes opted for land travel. However, the characteristics of sources from the Sigismund period does not allow us to perform quantitative studies that would allow us to show the percentage difference between the frequency of land and water transport. The meeting of the royal couple in 1414 - following the realisation of Sigismund's political intentions - was also organised in the Rhine region, and instead of the monarch waiting for the arrival of his wife from the Kingdom of Hungary in Nuremberg, they started to travel together only from the Middle Rhine region. Furthermore, it appears that their 'joint' journeys were often combined with parallel journeys, and that the royal couple might have been further apart from one another for a certain period of time as they opted for different transport arrangements. It is assumed that in such cases the queen remained on the water for as long as possible. The meeting place could then either be the end of the river cruise or, as in the case of Frankfurt, a station of major importance from the poin of view of the representation of the monarch.

Panorama da seca plurianual 2012–2018 no semiárido brasileiro: impactos hidrológicos, agrícolas e medidas de convivência

Published: December 2021

O Semiárido Brasileiro compreende a região mais seca do Brasil. Embora diversas políticas públicas sejam implementadas para mitigação do fenômeno, os impactos associados à escassez hídrica ainda são bastante severos. Diante dessa justificativa, o artigo objetiva analisar a gravidade, duração e extensão espacial da seca plurianual 2012–2018, compará-la ao ciclo de recuperação não seco de 2018–2020, identificando impactos e relações intrínsecas com as decisões tomadas pelos gestores em diferentes níveis. Para esse fim, são utilizadas plataformas que monitoram o andamento do evento, seus impactos e as medidas de convivência adotadas para atenuar tais efeitos. O Monitor de secas indica que o pico de maior severidade acontece entre o final de 2016 e início do ano seguinte. A seca excepcional, que é a tipologia mais intensa, chega a atingir mais de 85% do território semiárido. Os impactos esperados para esse nível indicam escassez de água generalizada nos reservatórios. Essa perspectiva confirma-se quando observados dados do portal Olho N’água de variação do volume armazenado. No mesmo período, a reserva hídrica dos açudes do semiárido cearense, potiguar, paraibano e pernambucano atingem mínimosníveis, com registros que chegam ao volume morto. Para mitigar a sucessão de impactos ocasionados, tomadores de decisão nas escalas de atuação municipal, estadual e regional utilizam-se de medidas estruturais, entre as quais estão a construção de açudes, cisternas, perfuração de poços e distribuição de água por carros-pipa. Em contrapartida, raramente atentam-se à elaboração de planos de preparação para as frequentes secas. Apesar do avanço nos paradigmas de gestão, as primeiras medidas adotadas no século XIX, que consistiam na construção de infraestrutura hídrica, ainda são empregadas em larga escala. As políticas públicas voltam-se a mitigar efeitos já instaurados, ao invés de priorizar a gestão proativa, a partir da criação de gatilhos estabelecidos sob perspectivas de previsão e monitoramento do evento.

Published: December 2021

O desenvolvimento da pesca esportiva pode proporcionar benefícios sociais e econômicos às populações locais, contudo gera impactos negativos ao meio ambiente se não houver gestão efetiva. A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar as contribuições do conhecimento ecológico local para o ordenamento da pesca esportiva e conservação de robalos na Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (RDS) Barra do Una, Peruíbe/SP. Foram entrevistados 27 pescadores artesanais, envolvidos com a pesca esportiva, através de questionários semiestruturados contendo questões sobre dados socioeconômicos, atividade pesqueira, conhecimento ecológico local e as relações com a pesca esportiva, especialmente sobre prestação de serviços e aspectos referentes a conservação dos robalos. A pesca esportiva tem se tornado uma alternativa de renda para as famílias de pescadores artesanais da Barra do Una, que aplicam seus conhecimentos sobre os recursos pesqueiros nesta nova prática. A pesca esportiva na RDS Barra do Una tem potencialidades como atividade de lazer e geração de renda através das atividades associadas ao turismo de pesca. Essa característica é bastante representativa tanto para os turistas que visitam a região quanto para os próprios moradores locais. Porém, fica clara a necessidade de ordenamento desta atividade para o alcance do seu potencial de conservação ambiental e desenvolvimento socioeconômico local. Assim, foram propostas medidas de ordenamento com base no conhecimento ecológico local dos pescadores artesanais, na legislação vigente e informações técnicas já existentes para o setor.

Published: December 2021

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar a influência das Crenças no Mundo Justo (CMJ) na atitude frente à população carcerária e apresentar evidências de validade da escala de atitudes frente à população carcerária (EAPC). Formulou-se como hipótese que maiores índices de CMJ influenciariam atitudes mais negativas. Participaram da pesquisa 418 pessoas, predominância do sexo feminino (73,20%), idade média de 25 anos (DP = 9,21), com escolaridade de superior incompleto (51,7%), sendo que a maioria da amostra já teve contato com o cárcere (51,90%). A EAPC foi adaptada e aplicada com medidas de CMJ (Global e Pessoal). A versão adaptada da EAPC apresentou estrutura unifatorial com índices satisfatórios de confiabilidade (α = 0,93). Por meio da EAPC, observou-se atitudes positivas em relação às pessoas no cárcere na amostra investigada. Os fatores de escolaridade e CMJ Pessoal apresentaram-se como preditores das atitudes. Discute-se o impacto da escolarização e da CMJ como variáveis relevantes para compreensão das atitudes frente a pessoas no cárcere.

Published: December 2021

Embora a associação entre as variáveis bullying escolar e desengajamento moral sejam amplamente exploradas, ainda não existem instrumentos de pesquisa validados para uso no contexto brasileiro nessa direção. Assim, esse estudo objetivou apresentar o Método Delphi e uma situação de sua aplicação no processo de adaptação e validação de uma escala sobre bullying e desengajamento moral. O painel de especialistas incluiu três enfermeiras, um psicólogo, uma médica, uma professora de biologia e uma professora de educação física. Todos os participantes eram Ph.D e investigavam questões relacionadas ao bullying a mais de 5 anos. A escala foi avaliada em quatro dimensões: objetividade, simplicidade, clareza e credibilidade. Os dados foram tabulados utilizando-se o programa Microsoft Excel e a estatística descritiva permitiu definir os índices de validade de conteúdo e fidedignidade. O índice de validade de conteúdo atingiu a pontuação máxima (100.0%) nas quatro dimensões avaliadas. A verificação de fidedignidade demonstrou desempenho médio de 94.0%. Após o uso do Método Delphi foi proposta uma versão final, em português, da escala sobre bullying e desengajamento moral. O ponto forte do estudo reside na apresentação e aplicação rigorosa do Método Delphi.

OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to assess whether an association exists between chronic diseases or multimorbidity and limited life space in older adults. METHODS: This is a secondary analysis of the SABE (Salud, Bienestar y Envejecimiento) Colombia Study. We assessed chronic diseases through self-report, and a limited life space was defined as any score ≤ 60 in the Life-Space Assessment scale. Multimorbidity was defined as having two or more coexisting diseases. We performed bivariate analyses and multivariate logistic regressions aiming to obtain odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: The prevalence of limited life space was 2.95% with a mean score of 76.27 ± 19.34. Statistically significant associations were found between limited life space and mental disease (OR 1.45; 95%CI 1.15 – 1.82) and between limited life space and multimorbidity (OR 1.32; 95%CI 1.06 – 1.63). CONCLUSIONS: Mental disease and multimorbidity are associated with limited life space in older adults. Therefore, preventing, diagnosing, and treating mental illness should be sought in addition to the existing preventive and therapeutic approaches available for noncommunicable diseases.

OBJECTIVE: To describe health care strategies for older people living in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) in Bahia state, Brazil. METHODS: This is an ecological study involving LTCFs identified in Bahia state, which were invited to participate in a survey conducted between April and June 2021. The variables of interest were LTCF characteristics, health care strategies, visits received from national public health system (SUS, in Portuguese) teams, and health care actions taken by SUS. A comparative analysis was performed between LTCFs located in the East macro-region and other parts of the state, in general and also stratified by funding type (private and non-private). RESULTS: The sample consisted of 177 LTCFs, more than half of them were located in the East macro-region, seat of the state capital. Most facilities declared themselves as non-private (68%). Less than one-third of the LTCFs had their own health teams. Although 67% of LTCFs reported some health care provided by SUS, only 49% reported clinical consultations, with even lower percentages for other SUS actions, except for vaccination (91%). The East macro-region had a lower percentage of LTCFs accompanied by a SUS team, and the highest percentage of LTCFs with supplementary health insurance. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows the limited access of LTCF residents to essential health services, due to a general neglect of this population by public health care providers. The inadequacy of public policies to support LTCFs has important consequences for the quality of care offered to residents.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of frailty on 1-year mortality in long term-care facility (LTCF) residents. METHODS: This was a prospective cohort study with survival analysis of 209 participants living in 15 Brazilian LTCFs. Data on chronic diseases, age, sex, medication use, dependence in activities of daily living (ADLs; Katz index), and frailty (FRAIL scale) were collected at baseline, and death after 1 year was the outcome measure. Kaplan-Meier estimate and log-rank test were used to analyze the survival of residents. RESULTS: In the initial assessment, 65.07 of the residents were women, and the median age was 82 (interquartile range, 71–88) years, with 55% being over 80 years old. Overall, 88% had 2 or more diseases, 59.81% were using 5 or more medications, 42.11% were considered frail, 34.92% pre-frail, and 22.97% robust, and 69.94% were dependent in 3 or more ADLs. During the 12-month follow-up, 19.61% of the residents (n=41) died. In the survival analysis for death, there was a statistically significant association with frailty (p=0.03) and dependence in ADLs (p=0.04). CONCLUSIONS: In this population of LTCF residents, frailty and functional dependence were associated with death.

This study examines the effects of Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) in 52 non-native Mandarin learners of Mandarin beginning level learning motivation and the associated factors affecting their learning motivation. Mix method design was applied in the research. Quantitative questionnaire data were analyzed using paired sample t-test to examine the differences between pre-treatment survey and first cycle post-treatment survey, and between first cycle post-treatment survey and second cycle post-treatment survey. Semi-structured interview was conducted to 11 different grade-based learners among the 52 learners in the three stages of surveys to define factors affecting learning motivation. The findings reveal that there was non- statistical decrement in learning motivation between pre-treatment survey and first cycle post-treatment survey (t(51)=1.04, p>0.05), and statistical increment between first cycle post-treatment survey and second cycle post- treatment survey (t(51)=-3.52, p<0.05). The findings of the interview show that learners‟ learning motivation is affected by the application of TBLT, busy schedule and support from Mandarin native speaker. As conclusion, the study indicates that TBLT can increase learners‟ learning motivation in long term application. The study also implicates that TBLT can perform well with sufficiency language input task and Mandarin native speakers‟ support before the output task.
Teaching Medical Advances in a Time of Crisis: A Human Microbiome Data Interpretation E-Learning Elective for Medical Students
Authors: Cervantes Jorge L
Published: December 2021

Medical schools were upended by the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in suspension of all in-person educational activities, and leaving clinical clerkships on hold. Emerging medical advances need to be integrated in undergraduate medical curriculum as evidence continues to evolve regarding their clinical application. Here, we describe an innovative distance- learning elective course developed to keep fourth year medical students abreast of important scientific advances. Within each module, each successive entry introduced concepts with increasing complexity and included up-to-date literature material to help in the learning progression. Students’ overall satisfaction was high, as the elective helped them gain personal confidence, improved their medical and intellectual skills, increased their curiosity in medical science, and allowed them to analyze scientific literature they did not understand before.
