Measurement of urinary 5-HIAA: correlation between spot versus 24-h urine collection
Authors: Calanchini Matilde , Tadman Michael , Krogh Jesper , Fabbri Andrea , Grossman Ashley , Shine Brian
Published: July 2019

Background

The 24-h urinary output of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) is used to monitor disease progression and treatment responses of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). Several conditions are required for 5-HIAA assay, involving urine collection/preservation and food/drug restrictions.

Aim

To evaluate the correlation between 5-HIAA concentration in a spot urine sample and the output in a 24-h urine collection, and whether spot urine specimens can replace 24-h collection.

Methods

Patients with NENs or symptoms suggestive of NENs were asked to provide a separate spot urine at the end of the 24-h urine collection for 5-HIAA assessment. The upper reference limit for 24-h urinary 5-HIAA was 40 µmol/24 h. 5-HIAA measurements in spot urine samples were corrected for variation in urine flow rate by expressing results as a ratio to creatinine concentration.

Results

We included 136 paired urinary samples for 5-HIAA assessment from 111 patients (100 NENs). The correlation between 5-HIAA values measured in 24-h and spot urines was r = +0.863 (P < 0.001) and r = +0.840 (P < 0.001) including only NEN patients. Using the 24-h urinary 5-HIAA as reference method, the AUC on ROC analysis for spot urinary 5-HIAA was 0.948 (95% CI, 0.914–0.983; P < 0.001), attaining a sensitivity of 83% and specificity of 95% using 5.3 mol/mmol as cut-off for the spot urine. The AUC among NEN patients alone was 0.945 (95% CI, 0.904–0.987; P < 0.001).

Conclusions

The ratio of 5-HIAA to creatinine in a spot urine could replace the measurement of 5-HIAA output in a 24-h urine collection, especially for follow-up of patients with known elevated 5-HIAA levels.

Authors: Levin Lena-Maria , Völzke Henry , Lerch Markus M , Kühn Jens-Peter , Nauck Matthias , Friedrich Nele , Zylla Stephanie
Published: July 2019

Objective

Chemerin and adiponectin are adipokines assumed to be involved in the development of metabolic syndrome-related phenotypes like hepatic steatosis. We aimed to evaluate the associations of circulating chemerin and adiponectin concentrations with liver enzymes, liver fat content, and hepatic steatosis in the general population.

Methods

Data of 3951 subjects from the population-based Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP-TREND) were used. Hepatic steatosis was assumed when either a hyperechogenic liver (assessed via ultrasound) or a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-quantified liver fat content >5% was present. Adjusted sex-specific quantile and logistic regression models were applied to analyze the associations of chemerin and adiponectin with liver enzymes, liver fat content and hepatic steatosis.

Results

The observed associations of chemerin and adiponectin with liver enzymes were very divergent depending on sex, fasting status and the specific enzyme. More consistent results were seen in the analyses of these adipokines in relation to MRI-quantified liver fat content. Here, we observed inverse associations to adiponectin in both sexes as well as a positive (men) or U-shaped (women) association to chemerin. Similarly, the MRI-based definition of hepatic steatosis revealed strongly consistent results: in both sexes, high chemerin concentrations were associated with higher odds of hepatic steatosis, whereas high adiponectin concentrations were associated with lower odds.

Conclusion

Our results suggest a role of these adipokines in the pathogenesis of hepatic steatosis independent of metabolic or inflammatory disorders. However, experimental studies are needed to further clarify the underlying mechanisms and the inter-play between adipokine concentrations and hepatic steatosis.

La teoría de la sociedad internacional. De la narrativa clásica de Escuela Inglesa al enfoque crítico
Authors: AIMÉ GONZÁLEZ Elsa
Published: July 2019

En los últimos años se han vuelto a editar y a estudiar tres clásicos de la Escuela Inglesa de las Relaciones Internacionales. En 2012 salió la cuarta edición de The Anarchical Society, publicada por primera vez en 1977, con un nuevo prefacio escrito por Andrew Hurrell, mientras que en 2017 se celebraron los cuarenta años de dicha obra con un volumen editado por Hidemi Suganami, Madeleine Carr y Adam Humphreys en la que se han planteado varios debates para repensar este clásico escrito por Hedley Bull. En España la obra Cambios en la Naturaleza de la Diplomacia y de la Guerra en los Cuarenta Años de la Sociedad Anárquica de Hedley Bull publicado en 2019 también ha conmemorado este aniversario. Asimismo, está prevista la publicación de una nueva edición de la obra Diplomatic Investigations, publicada por primera vez en 1966, con una nueva introducción de Tim Dunne e Ian Hall, así como de la obra colectiva The Expansion of International Society publicada en 1984 con un nuevo prefacio de Andrew Hurrell.
History, Agency and Eurocentrism in the English School
Authors: DUTRA SALGADO Pedro
Published: July 2019

The recent English School literature within the discipline of International Relations has been successful in renewing that tradition’s popularity, along with revising some of its core elements. This work have generated innovations in its theoretical framework, resulting in important differences in relation to the classic works of the British Committee. Despite such innovations, some of its limits remain in place, as it is still centred on an Eurocentric historical perspective. In this paper, I address two recent contributions to the body of English School literature: the new narrative of globalisation of the international society, and the turn to process sociology. By analysing these contributions, I argue that by not presenting a systematic conception of agency and historical change, history becomes relegated to a secondary role in their explanatory process: it is mobilised as a set of examples that either confirms or expands the theoretical conception of the international society or its expansion. This secondary role of history provides shelter for Eurocentrism in IR theory, since it allows for the incorporation of extra-European agencies and processes without challenging the theory that was produced in their absence. In return, I argue for a radically historicist conception of theory, drawing from a particular push for historicism in the tradition of Political Marxism. This radical historicism shifts the focus from overarching processes and their outcomes towards the many conflicting agencies who played a role in the transformations of international politics.
Escuela inglesa y gobernanza climática global: un diálogo necesario
Authors: KIESSLING Christopher Kurt , PACHECO ALONSO Agustina
Published: July 2019

El objetivo del siguiente artículo es describir, caracterizar y analizar el ambientalismo liberal como contexto normativo en el cual se inscribe la gobernanza global del cambio climático, tomando como base los aportes teóricos de la Escuela Inglesa. El estudio se centra en el análisis de este complejo normativo, que ha tenido primacía desde la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Medio Ambiente y el Desarrollo a la fecha, y se caracteriza por aceptar la liberalización del comercio y de las finanzas como un programa consistente con, e incluso necesario para, la protección ambiental a nivel internacional.En el trabajo se argumenta que la gobernanza global del cambio climático puede interpretarse a la luz de estas ideas como un arreglo intermedio entre la sociedad internacional y la sociedad mundial. Aunque la propia Convención Marco de las Naciones Unidas sobre Cambio Climático establece el proceso de negociación internacional como un proceso eminentemente interestatal, la creciente regulación del tema a través de arreglos público-privados conformaría una institución primaria emergente de la sociedad mundial.
Women, peace and international security: the Havana Agreement for peace in Colombia
Authors: DE OLIVEIRA SCHUCK Elena , BRITO Lívia
Published: July 2019

Armed conflicts have different impacts on women. In this regard, women’s civil society organizations are inserted in the international political arenas in order to guarantee their rights in warfare contexts. In the case of conflicts in Colombia, women are identified not only as combatants and victims, but also as members of women civil organizations for peacebuilding. These organizations played a prominent role in the elaboration of the peace agreement between the Government of Colombia and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in Havana, Cuba, between 2012 and 2016. This article proposes an analysis of the theoretical production on peace, international security, feminism and subalternity, to present the specific case of the conflict in Colombia and its gender perspectives. The results indicate that peace agreements can be instruments of political inclusion and reparation for women affected by armed conflicts. In highlighting the role of political minorities in the international peace negotiations in Colombia, this research contributes to the development and expansion of critical perspectives —feminist and subaltern— on international security and studies for peace. Moreover, building upon the specific analysis of the Havana Agreement, this paper aims to contribute to the inclusion of a gender perspective in future peace agreements.
THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL VALUE OF THE REVIEWS ON UKRAINIAN TERMINOLOGY DICTIONARIES OF THE LATE XXth AND THE EARLY XXIst CENTURIES
Authors: Petrova Tetiana
Published: July 2019

The aim of the research is to determine the theoretical and practical significance of the reviews on natural sciences terminology dictionaries. The object of the research is a system of parametric measurements of terminology dictionaries, the subject is critical remarks on the structural parameters representation of terminology dictionaries. The research material is the texts of the reviews published during the late XXth and the early XXIst centuries. Тhe following methods were used: lexicographic analysis of the dictionary parameters, the quantitative analysis and the comparative one. As a result of the research, it is determined that throughout the analyzed period the experts focus on definition and translation dictionaries as well as reference dictionaries. Most remarks are made to the dictionaries of the early XXIst century. The potential importance of practical application of the results is to improve the theoretical and methodological principles and means of terminology dictionaries creation, as well as their use to develop new (combined) type that comprehensively represent the vocabulary of a particular branch of science. Conclusions: 1) the critical comments on professional definition dictionaries relate to such of their parameters as: ‘introduction / preface’, ‘encyclopedia information’, ‘dictionary register’, ‘definition’, ‘list of references’; 2) translation definition dictionaries have quantitative drawbacks regarding the representation of such structural parameters: ‘dictionary register’, ‘translation area’, ‘definition’; 3) to the parameters of reference dictionaries the following critical comments are made: to replace the title loan term by the normative term; to add the ‘accent characteristic’ parameter; to match the title terms with their definitions etc. Theoretical and practical significance of the reviews on terminology dictionaries gives the possibility to systematize the drawbacks revealed by critics in the representation of structural parameters of such publications, for the purpose to improve the fundamental theoretical and methodological foundations of metaterminography and the practical realization of high-quality works.
Modeling of quasicrystal lattices with a 4-fold symmetry axis
Authors: Smolyakov O. V.
Published: July 2019

The construction method of a quasilattice with a four-fold rotational symmetry axis is proposed. The described method is based on the recurrent generation of the initial group of lattice points, which are a set of vertices of a square. The aperiodic crystal reciprocal lattice modeling algorithm is analyzed. Used modeling technique is compared with conventional projection approach. The orthogonal basis of a four-dimensional hypercubic lattice is proposed. This lattice produces two-dimensional quasicrystal with a four-fold symmetry axis after it projection on a flat surface. It is shown that the indexation of diffraction pattern of similar quasiperiodic structures can be carry out using 3 integer indexes, which is analogous to the indexing system proposed by Cahn for application to icosahedral quasicrystals.
Indios y encomenderos: acercamientos a la encomienda desde la cultura política y el pacto tributario. Valle del río Cauca, 1680-1750
Authors: Cuevas Arenas Héctor , Castañeda Morales Andrés Felipe
Published: July 2019

Este artículo aborda los conflictos y relaciones de mediación y subordinación generadas por la encomienda en el valle del río Cauca. Indagamos sobre aquellas asociadas al paternalismo, la obediencia y la reciprocidad asimétrica, lo cual permite entender los valores y prácticas dados por el pacto tributario como dinámicos e históricos, donde los indios asumían parte activa y tenían posibilidades de acción. Las mitas, los accesos a tierras, las estrategias de negociación con el tributo y los servicios personales son motivos para explicitar nociones y valores que hacían inteligibles las acciones de las gentes referenciadas. El texto desarrolla una perspectiva histórica apuntando al campo de la cultura política, por lo cual se trata de un aporte diferenciador respecto de la historiografía económica y social tradicional. La investigación contó confuentes judiciales o referentes al tributo y los cuestionamientos dados por las dimensiones discursivas, simbólicas y prácticas sobre el poder y las relaciones sociales.
Jorge Zalamea y León de Greiff en la bohemia y las tertulias literarias de Bogotá (1920-1976)
Authors: López Bermúdez Andrés , García Estrada Rodrigo De Jesús
Published: July 2019

El problema analizado en este artículo se centra en la amistad que se tejió entre Jorge Zalamea y León de Greiff, dos escritores colombianos de la primera mitad del siglo XX, independientes de las vanguardias artísticas y literarias. Las fuentes abordadas comprenden la correspondencia del archivo personal de Jorge Zalamea, además de revistas literarias y prensa de época. La metodología utilizada implicó, primero, ubicar las cartas entre los personajes estudiados, su contextualización en la historia colombiana y en las biografías intelectuales de ambos, así como reconstruir el itinerario de su amistad. Se pudo concluir que, en el campo literario colombiano, Zalamea y De Greiff formaron parte de un grupo de intelectuales críticos, cercanos a las causas sociales y pacifistas convencidos que se articularon en torno a los cafés y las tertulias, Los Nuevos, quienes se confrontaron en el plano político e intelectual con Los Centenaristas, defensores del statu quo. Por ello, Zalamea, De Greiff y sus contertulios fueron objeto de persecución policial y pagaron con cárcel sus rebeldías. Su obra literaria es la expresión de quienes fueron y continúan siendo acallados por la censura, la exclusión política y social y la violencia.
Estrategias de resistencia de las mujeres para afrontar las violencias en Medellín y Barrancabermeja, 2000-2005
Authors: Bedoya González Yolima
Published: July 2019

Las mujeres habitantes de barrios populares de Medellín y Barrancabermeja emprendieron, desde sus posibilidades, acciones para contrarrestar las violencias ocurridas entre 2000 y 2005. En esa medida, se pretende destacar el repertorio creativo construido por estas para resistir los hechos violentos cometidos contra ellas, sus familiares y contra los procesos organizativos, así como para declarar su posición en contra de la confrontación armada. Para lograrlo se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas y grupos focales con mujeres pertenecientes a colectivos reunidos en barrios populares de estas dos ciudades. Igualmente, fueron entrevistadas personas cercanas a los procesos organizativos. También se revisaron estadísticas y bases de datos de distintas organizaciones que permitieron acercase a las cifras de homicidios, desapariciones y desplazamiento forzado de ese período. Las distintas violencias sufridas en los centros urbanos ocasionaron innumerables violaciones a los derechos humanos. Ante esa realidad, colectivos de mujeres trascendieron la condición de víctimas y potenciaron habilidades personales y colectivas para resistir. Se asumieron como sujetos de derecho para visibilizar y denunciar los estragos de la urbanización del conflicto y las violencias urbanas.
El lector imaginado. Lecturas y lectores en la prensa ilustrada de Bahía Blanca (Argentina, 1902-1927)
Authors: Agesta María De las Nieves
Published: July 2019

Bahía Blanca experimentó un proceso de modernización económica, social y cultural acelerada desde fines del siglo XIX, que supuso una multiplicación inédita de los medios periodísticos y una expansión notable de la lectoescritura. La prensa intervino como resultado y como agente activo en la configuración de la ciudad moderna. Las revistas ilustradas emergieron como productos urbanos en el cruce de una cultura escrita y una cultura visual en pleno desarrollo. Estos impresos, por mecanismos diversos, iban conformando su propio público y dieron cuenta de la ampliación del número de lectores y de la creciente legitimidad que otorgaba la práctica lectora como marca de distinción social para una burguesía en ascenso. De acuerdo con ello, el problema de la lectura será abordado, aquí, desde una triple dimensión que incluye la reconstrucción empírica de ese público mediante indicadores directos e indirectos, la recuperación del lector modelo propuesto por las revistas y el análisis de las representaciones visuales y discursivas de los lectores y del ejercicio mismo de la lectura que en ellas aparecieron.

El libro Dictaduras del Caribe, hace un estudio comparativo de Cuba, Venezuela, Haití, República Dominicana y Nicaragua pues éstos países tienen en común, el haber sido -a través de las figuras representativas de Gómez, Machado, Batista, Trujillo, Somoza y Duvalier- aliados de Estados Unidos a través del corolario Roosevelt a la doctrina Monroe. Dicha política norteamericana se basó más que todo en afianzar el poderío militar y económico de éste país angloparlante, hacía América Latina, para frenar la injerencia de los paises europeos en tierras americanas hacía finales del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX. Estados Unidos para detener la intromisión de los países europeos en América Latina, se basó en todo tipo de métodos colonialistas con las más modernas formas de penetración del capitalismo para dicho fin.

La expresión intelectual en proyectos editoriales de orden histórico e informativo, por ende político, es un tema que pocas veces condensa la escritura de nuestros autores. Mucho más cuando representan los casos de Argentina, Uruguay y Colombia, como es el motivo de la exposición del primer segmento de HiSTOReLo. Revista de Historia Regional y Local (vol. 11, n.° 22, julio-diciembre, 2019). El escenario central de dicha expresión es la prensa, como lo muestra María de las Nieves Agesta para el caso de Bahía Blanca (Argentina) y Leidy Jazmín Torres Cendales para la Gran Colombia. Este último en una lectura crítica en torno a la relación y creación de la opinión pública, la libertad de imprenta y la oposición política para el período 1821-1823. El primero se analiza en función de la denominada prensa ilustrada a comienzos del siglo XX. En cierto sentido, se trata de explorar el surgimiento de una prensa pensada en el marco de la configuración de una nueva sociedad que tuviera sus propios lectores, y la búsqueda de una legitimidad en la línea de ascenso de una elite y una burguesía, por un lado; por otro, de una prensa “forjadora de la espera pública y dinamizadora del pluralismo político” en la Gran Colombia. Una prensa que pretendió dar una visión oficial y unanimista de opinión. Ahora bien, si estos escenarios son distintos en tiempo y espacio, el papel de la prensa y sus lectores resulta el común denominador, pues en ambos artículos se trata de mostrar la búsqueda de cierta legitimidad de una clase social o de un proyecto político.
Use of radio telemetry to determine presence of cattle stress indicators before slaughter
Authors: Paz-Penagos Hernan
Published: July 2019

This study was conducted in order to determine the presence of stress in cattle prior to slaughter in situations such as loading, trans-porting, unloading, water and food deprivation during mobilization and waiting in the corral in overcrowded and inclement condi-tions. Samples were five bovines with ages of 40 months on average, castrated males, from the San Martinero criolla breed, whichwere transported along 144 Km, by land, from the farm located in Acacias, department of Meta, to the ICTA slaughter plant in Bo-gotá.  The  stress  indicators  were  identified  by  differences  in  body  temperature,  heart  rate  and  respiration  frequency  (hereinafter-physiological constants), which were monitored for 20 minutes at the time: prior to loading the animals on the farm, and uponarri-val at the slaughterhouse (just after being transported). The bovine cardiac signal was captured and processed through a girth, and was transmitted via a radio telemetry system that was designed and built in the project. The results show data capture at a sample rate of four million samples per second and wireless communication in real time, which meant that no information was lost on thevariations of the bovine heart signal and reception of information from any point of the slaughter plant.

Published: July 2019

Los avances biotecnológicos en plantas requieren la bioprospección de nuevos promotores para la expresión de genes de interésagronómico, en particular, es necesario caracterizar nuevos promotores con expresión tejido específica. El objetivo de esta investi-gación fue evaluar la actividad de expresión del promotor del gen AV1que codifica para la proteína de la cápside (CP) del virus de la distorsión de la hoja de maracuyá (Passion fruit leaf distortion virus,PLDV) mediante ensayos transitorios de biobalística de baja presión. Se realizó un análisis de la región promotora del gen AV1empleando herramientas bioinformáticas. Se construyó una fu-sión traduccional (CP-PLDV-GUS), que porta la región promotora del gen AV1de PLDV fusionada al gen reportero uidA(GUS). CP-PLDV-GUS fue bombardeado sobre hojas de plántulas de tabaco cultivadas in vitro empleando una pistola de genes. Como control positivo se utilizó el plásmido pBI121 que porta el gen GUS bajo el control del promotor 35S de CaMV. Se llevaron a cabo 11 re-peticiones, donde la unidad experimental fue la hoja y la variable de respuesta, la expresión transitoria del gen GUS representado por  el  número  de  puntos  azules  observados  en  las  hojas  bombardeadas.  Como  resultado, el  análisis  estadístico  no  paramétrico demostró que existe evidencia muestral suficiente para confirmar que, tanto el promotor AV1del PLDV y 35S de CaMV presentan una actividad de expresión semejante. Finalmente, el promotor del gen AV1de PLDV mostró una fuerte actividad de expresión del gen reportero en las células del mesófilo de las hojas, el cual podría ser usado para conferir expresión tejido específica enplantas transgénicas
Efecto del compost en la diversidad de bacterias rizosféricas del cultivo de morera (Morus alba)

Published: July 2019

La producción orgánica de seda incluye la aplicación de compost como practica de cultivo en morera (Morus alba), sin embargo, el efecto de la fertilización orgánica en las poblaciones de bacterias rizosféricas no siempre es positivo. Para evaluar el efecto del compost en la diversidad de bacterias rizosféricas en cultivos de morera (Morus alba), se aplicaron 0, 0.25, 0.5 y 1 kg.m-2 de compost a parcelas con morera dispuestas en un diseño en bloques completos al azar. De cada parcela se extrajo ADN del suelo rizosférico a los 0, 5, 10 y 90 días de aplicado el compost y se amplificó la región V4 del gen ADNr 16S para su secuenciación y asignación taxonómica de los OTUS. Los índices de diversidad alpha mostraron la dominancia de algunos grupos taxonómicos, como los phyla Proteobacteria y Acidobacteria y los géneros Pseudomonas, Opitutus, Luteolibacter y Nitrospir. La diversidad beta indicó similitud entre las muestras influenciadas por la aplicación compost y el incremento de la diversidad en las parcelas muestreadas al final del experimento (90 días). Los grupos taxonómicos dominantes se caracterizan por su función en el ciclo del nitrógeno. Así, se concluyó que la aplicación de 1 kg.m-2 llevó al aumento de la humedad del suelo, el pH y la disponibilidad de nutrientes, lo que incremento la diversidad de bacterias rizosféricas con cambios positivos en composición, riqueza y abundancia en los niveles de orden, familia y género.

Phytochemical, pharmacological and tissue culture applications of Wedelia spp. – A review
Authors: Ahmed B.A. , Idris S.N. , Taha R.M. , Mustafa M.M. , Marikar F. MMT
Published: July 2019

Abstract. Wedelia spp. belonging to the family asteraceae whereby most of the species such as W. chinensis (Osbeck) Merr., W. paludosa (Blume), W. trilobata (L.) Hitchc, W. calendulacea (L.) Less., W. prostrata Dalzell & A. Gibson etc. had been traditionally used by the ancient people for medicinal purposes. Due to that, extensive studies regarding the phytochemical and pharmacological aspects of this genus have been carried out for six decades. Most of the studies indicated that the plants from this genus have potential as medicinal herbs to treat diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart and liver failure, etc. In this paper the phytochemical and pharmacological aspects of some plants of Wedelia genus are reviewed. Tissue culture applications of this genus are not extensively studied, thus in the present review some in vitro results from these investigations are also presented.

Authors: Aktürk Erdal , Aşkın Lütfü , Taşolar Hakan , Kurtoğlu Ertuğrul , Türkmen Serdar , Tanrıverdi Okan , Uzel Kader Eliz
Published: July 2019

Background

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Chronic total occlusions (CTO) are frequently observed among patients undergoing coronary angiography.

Methods

A total of 128 CTO patients were included. Mehran score, lesion characteristics, interventional procedure, serological specimens and devices were recorded. The first group was administered with 1 ml · kg−1 · h−1 saline (0.9% NaCl) infusion that started 12 h before the procedure and continued 12 h post procedure as recommended by the guidelines. The second group was administered with saline infusion of 12 ml · kg−1 · h−1 only during CTO-PCI procedure, which is called as intensive infusion.

Results

CIN development was similar in two groups (four patients in standard hydration group and five patients in intensive hydration group). The amount of saline was significantly higher in the standard group (1,767 ± 192.2 vs. 1,043.6 ± 375; p < 0.001). Patients with higher creatinine levels prior to PCI had a higher rate of CIN development after procedure. Interestingly, age, left ventricular ejection fraction, and diabetes mellitus independently predicted CIN.

Conclusion

Intensive hydration administration appears to be an effective and cost-effective method in CTO-PCI patients, especially in patients without left ventricular function failure.

Published: July 2019

The medial olivocochlear efferent (MOCE) branch synapses with outer hair cells (OHCs), and the efferent pathway can be activated via a contralateral acoustic stimulus (CAS). The activation of MOCE can change OHC motile responses and convert signals that are capable of controlling the sensitivity of the peripheral hearing system in a frequency-specific manner. The aim of this study was to examine the MOCE system activity in professional musicians using transient evoked otoacoustic emission test and CAS. Musician group showed stronger suppression in all frequency bands in the presence of CAS.
Blood flow restriction augments the skeletal muscle response during very low-load resistance exercise to volitional failure
Authors: Jessee MB , Buckner SL , Mattocks KT , Dankel SJ , Mouser JG , Bell ZW , Abe T , Loenneke JP
Published: July 2019

The purpose of this study was to compare the acute muscular response with resistance exercise between the following conditions [labeled (% one-repetition maximum/% arterial occlusion pressure)]: high-load (70/0), very low-load (15/0), very low-load with moderate (15/40), and high (15/80) blood flow restriction pressures. Twenty-three participants completed four sets of unilateral knee extension to failure (up to 90 repetitions) with each condition, one condition per leg, each day. Muscle thickness and maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) were measured before (Pre), immediately after (Post-0), and 15 min after (Post-15) exercise and electromyography (EMG) amplitude during exercise. Pre to Post-0 muscle thickness changes in cm [95% CI] were greater with 15/40 [0.57 (0.41, 0.73)] and 15/80 [0.49 (0.35, 0.62)] compared to 70/0 [0.33 (0.25, 0.40)]. Pre to Post-0 MVC changes in Nm [95% CI] were higher with 15/40 [−127.0 (−162.1, −91.9)] and 15/80 [−133.6 (−162.8, −104.4)] compared to 70/0 [−48.4 (−70.1, −26.6)] and 15/0 [−98.4 (−121.9, −74.9)], which were also different. Over the first three repetitions, EMG increased across sets, whereas in the last three repetitions it did not. EMG was also different between conditions and was generally greater during 70/0. Repetitions decreased across sets reaching the lowest for 70/0, and for very low loads decreased with increased pressure. In trained participants exercising to failure, lower load and the application of restriction pressure augment changes in muscle thickness and torque. The EMG amplitude was augmented by load. Training studies should compare these conditions, as the results herein suggest some muscular adaptations may differ.

Published: July 2019

Aim

This study aimed to evaluate the possible role of heat shock protein-70 (HSP70) induction by 17-allylaminodemethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG) in collagen-induced arthritis in rats.

Material and methods

Male Wistar rats were divided into five groups (n = 10/group) and were treated intraperitoneally twice a week for 4 weeks, namely normal control (saline), arthritis control (AR; saline), AR + 17-AAG, AR + methotrexate (MTX), and AR + 17-AAG + MTX. At the end of the treatments, arthritic score was determined and then the animals were sacrificed. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), serum levels of HSP70, interleukin-17 (IL-17), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), rheumatic factor (RF), C-reactive protein (CRP), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) were determined.

Results

In the AR group, all parameters increased significantly, except for GPx, which showed a pronounced decrease. The 17-AAG and/or MTX treatments significantly reduced arthritic score, ESR, IL-17, TNF-α, RF, CRP, MDA, and MMP-9 with significant increase in GPx compared to the AR group. The HSP70 level was significantly higher in the AR + 17-AAG and the AR + 17-AAG + MTX groups but significantly lower in the AR + MTX group as compared to the AR group. Also, it was significantly lower in the AR + MTX group as compared to the AR + 17-AAG group.

Conclusion

We concluded that HSP70 induction by 17-AAG attenuated the inflammatory process in a rheumatoid arthritis (RA) model induced by collagen, which suggested that HSP70 inducers can be promising agents in the treatment of RA.

Abstract:

The health care renumeration poses a great challenge for both politicians and policymakers. During the beginning of the 1990s, following the end of communism in Hungary, the reform of health care began with the introduction of the primary health care (PHC), specifically with general practitioner (GPP)/family medicine (FM) care. The basis of the renumeration was the age-adjusted capitation built upon the free choice of doctors, while social security renumeration was built on a mixed system. Several pros and cons have been highlighted, but the underlying principle has proved to be simple and effective. Comparison of the European and Hungarian characteristics, analysis of data in the present patient care report as well as in the years preceding the release of the aforementioned document, these confirm that the method of capitation-based remuneration is a fundamental, easy, and unmanipulable method. It places minimal weight on social security and comes with little costs. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(27): 1057–1063.

Imago Christi or “just” Imago Mariae? Women and the Problem of Image and Imitation
Authors: Małek Angelika Maria
Published: July 2019

The main question discussed in this paper is: Can we say that, in the light of orthodox Catholic theology, woman is an image of Christ in a way equal to man? How Jesus and His Mother should be treated as examples for imitation for Christians of both sexes on this ground? The first part of the article explains the terms imago Dei and imago Christi, and connection between them in their biblical, dogmatical, and contemporary theological-anthropological context, the last one understood strictly as anthropology in documents of the Catholic Magisterium published during and after II Vatican Council. The second part concerns the problem of Jesus and Mary as models for men, and/or women in the present day, on the basis of Church documents, especially Mariological ones. The third part considers the problem of women as imago Christi in the light of Catholic feminist theology. Conclusions are proposed at the end of the paper.
Świeccy w Kościele. Wybrane uwarunkowania historyczne sytuacji współczesnej

The current situation of lay people in the Church is strongly conditioned by how the relationship between laity and clergy (and laity–religious) evolved both in theology and in the practice of Church life in the previous centuries. The article is an attempt at providing a brief account of the history of these relations, beginning from the time when the functional distinction between clerics and lay people originated, through the period in which, in the context of a class society, the concept of states within the Church was introduced, and they were diversified within different perfection hierarchies, to the times when theology completed the circle, once again acknowledging the universal call to holiness in the Church, one that precedes all distinctions.
Schelling and Luther
Authors: Wirth Jason M.
Published: July 2019

Although it would be a stretch to consider FWJ Schelling a Lutheran, he shared some critical features of Luther’s critical engagement with Catholicism. This essay engages this mutual confrontation, and then discusses the new horizon, what Schelling dubs the Johanine Church, the church for everyone and everything, that is the latent promise of the Lutheran (and Pauline) confrontation with the Petrine (or Catholic) Church. As such, this essay is an exercise in what Schelling called philosophical religion, a fruit of his late turn to positive philosophy.
