BACKGROUND: Chordoma is a rare malignant tumor that develops from the remnants of the notochord and is located in the axial skeleton in the absolute majority of cases. It is most often localized in the sacrum, coccyx and pelvis, and is characterized by an initially asymptomatic long-time course, making early diagnosis difficult. Radical surgical treatment is the leading factor allowing to prolong the recurrence-free and overall survival of patients with chordoma, but it is often difficult due to complex anatomical localization of the tumor, as well as delayed medical treatment, frequently accompanied with the subsequent development of neurological complications, while in elderly patients with high comorbidity it is not always feasible.
CLINICAL CASE DESCRIPTION: We present a clinical case of radical surgical treatment of a patient with a S4-5 vertebral and coccyx chordoma showing a massive intrapelvic component. Clinical manifestations of the disease in the form of pain syndrome and pelvic organ dysfunction developed only when the tumor reached a larger size, forming a massive intrapelvic component up to 20 cm in size. The examination, including computer and magnetic resonance tomography, trepan biopsy with pathomorphologic examination, allowed to establish the diagnosis. Taking into account the size and localization of the tumor, the multidisciplinary team performed radical surgical intervention including sacral resection at the S3 level, coccygectomy with tumor removal. Morphological study of the removed tumor confirmed the diagnosis. In the early postoperative period, the wound healed by primary tension, the development of pelvic organs dysfunction was noted, which partially regressed by discharge. The article presents a brief review of the current problems of diagnosis and treatment of patients with chordoma.
CONCLUSION: Diagnosis and treatment of sacral chordoma is one of the most difficult problems of orthopedic oncology. A full preoperative examination and a multidisciplinary approach in this case made it possible to perform radical surgical intervention, reduce the risks of tumor progression, intra- and postoperative complications, and preserve the patient’s quality of life as much as possible.

BACKGROUND: Restoration of tissue integrity, including bone tissue, is currently an extremely urgent task, both because of the increasing number of high-energy traumas accompanied by severe skeletal injuries and the growing number of revision endoprosthetics requiring the use of bone-plastic materials.
AIM: To determine the efficacy of the developed protocol for decellularization of xenogenic bone matrix in preclinical in vitro studies aimed at defining the purification matrix degree, on the basis of histological, microtomographic evaluation, cell culture method, and in vivo studies aimed at identifying the biocompatibility and osteogenic properties of the materials.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Xenogenic spongiosis tissue of bovine femoral bones was fragmented to the size of 10×10×10 mm and treated with water, hypotonic solution and 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, deep purification by supercritical fluid extraction was applied. The efficiency of the optimal protocol was tested in vitro by cell culture method and in vivo.
RESULTS: The ideal interaction of cell culture with bone-plastic material was revealed, which may be associated with the absence of cytotoxic substances in the matrix, optimal roughness and good adhesive properties of the surface suitable for the formation of focal contacts by bone marrow stromal cells, their adhesion, spreading and proliferation. A pronounced bone callus with formed bone bridges running along the surface of the implanted material was determined 30 days after implantation. By this study period, the defect was practically closed due to the intermedial bone callus, the implanted material is found in the form of individual small osteocyte-free fragments.
CONCLUSIONS: The xenogenic bone matrix purified according to the developed protocol is bio- and cytocompatible, has pronounced osteoconductive properties, effectively stimulates regenerative osteogenesis in living organism.

Published: January 2024

Potassium (K) is an essential plant nutrient. Several research studies are available on the basal application of K concerned with yield and quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Conversely, very limited studies are available on the split application of K. During 2018-2019, a field experiment was performed at the Southern Wheat Research Station, Agriculture Research Institute, Tandojam, Pakistan to determine the importance of the right time for K fertilization in wheat. The experiment included 18 plots, each having an area of 12m2 (4m × 3m) involving two cultivars of winter wheat, viz. Benazir and Sindhu, sown in two-factor Randomized Complete Block Design, arranged in a split pattern (main plots = varieties, sub plots = treatments). Three K fertilization levels were tested, i.e. T1 = No K fertilization, T2 = 50 kg K2O ha-1 applied at the time of sowing, T3 = two splits of K, i.e. 25 kg K2O ha-1 applied at sowing and 25 kg K2O ha-1 applied at grain filling stage (top dressing). According to results, the yield components showed a positive enhancement upon split application of K as compared to basal application in terms of significantly higher (p
RELATIONSHIP OF LEAD WITH FREE RADICALS, REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES, OXIDATIVE STRESS AND ANTIOXIDANT ENZYMES
Authors: VURAL AYDIN Seda
Published: January 2024

Heavy metals, which are high in the environment, are substances that have a high toxic effect even at low concentrations. Heavy metals taken into the organism through mouth, respiration and skin cannot be eliminated by the body's excretory pathways. In addition, since they have a durable structure, they participate in the food chain and accumulate in various body tissues. With the increase in industrial activities, heavy metal pollution has also emerged and has increased day by day. Lead is an element that is widely used in industry because it has a low melting temperature. However, it is known that lead, like other heavy metals, has an effect on problems such as environmental pollution and health problems. Occupational diseases such as lead poisoning occur as a result of direct exposure to lead. Direct exposure in this way can also cause death. Lead causes undesirable conditions such as increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS), emergence of oxidative stress and weakening of antioxidant system. Lead disrupts the prooxidant/antioxidant ratio. As a result, effects such as an increase in ROS and thus damage to the basic components of the cell such as lipid, protein and nucleic acid are observed.In particular, lead inhibits enzymes and prevents some enzymes from acting as antioxidants. As a result of exposure to lead, there is a decrease in the defense abilities of antioxidant enzymes such as catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH) and ascorbic acid in blood and tissues. Lead increases lipid peroxidation and thus causes oxidative damage. Evaluation of the effect of lead at the cellular level is important in terms of developing solutions for the toxic effects of lead. In this study, the effect of lead on the cellular level in the organism and its effects on free radicals, ROS and oxidative stress were evaluated.

Published: January 2024

Abstract. As a long-time friend of Indonesia, Thailand is among the countries of choice for Indonesians to live overseas. This community services program has the main objective of developing social capital among the diaspora in Thailand, especially in Khon Kaen province. Most of the diaspora in Khon Kaen consists of undergraduate and postgraduate programs that receive scholarships from the Indonesian government or their internal institutions. Social capital, as in Islamic perception, “Ukhuwah Islamiyah,” and togetherness could increase their strength to bring great values to living abroad. The main problem is differences in human behaviour, human traditions, race, perspectives, and many other aspects that could decrease the togetherness value and lack of nationalism and pride in Indonesian culture. Living as a diaspora has many advantages, one of which is knowing things that one's surroundings do not, for example, culture. Diaspora Indonesia in Thailand has many greater benefits in terms of sharing Indonesian local culture in art, culinary arts, dancing, etc. Thailand citizens are mostly welcome to cultural sharing events from other countries due to receiving new knowledge concerning Indonesia. By sharing the culture and introducing Indonesia, it could increase the nationalism and togetherness of the Indonesian Diaspora. Therefore, making an event to share the local culture, which consists of many races in Indonesia, and introduce Indonesia's uniqueness is the solution to strengthening the social capital of the Diaspora Indonesia at Khon Kaen University. By collaborating with Persatuan Mahasiswa Indonesia di Thailand (PERMITHA) in the Khon Kaen branch, the community services could elaborate on local culture sharing with all Diaspora students who study at Khon Kaen University. One of the local cultures that could be shared is making batik. Sharing steps and how to make batik could interest many other Diaspora members from other countries.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are diseases that are often not widely detected and recognized because generally, NCDs do not cause symptoms or complaints. This has an impact on the examination of patients where NCDS are detected to have reached the final stage. The lack of citizen’s literacy regarding non-communicable diseases due to the lack of exposure to information is crucial to follow up because it has an impact on the lack of attitudes and behavior in the prevention and management of NCDs in the Gedangsari area. Access to health services is considered to be lacking because the distance to health services is quite far, plus the geographical conditions of the area and quite steep road conditions. Economic factors and the level of education of residents are also obstacles to the access of information and health services. NCDs prevention efforts are urgently needed so that the level of public health in the Gedangsari area increases. Prevention is meant through Information Communication and Education activities about NCDs to the public. This community service aims to increase public knowledge about NCDs and how to prevent and treat them. This activity was carried out by early detection of NCDs risk factors, health checks, presentation of material about NCDs general knowledge, and NCDs modality therapy. The activities carried out were evaluated through a pre-test and post-test with a questionnaire. The results of the activity showed that there was an increase in residents' knowledge regarding NCDs by 51,2% after the activity, the implementation of NCDs screening, and NCDs modality therapy. In conclusion, this community service activity can increase citizen literacy towards NCDs. It is hoped that the community will apply the preventive and therapeutic modalities that have been taught to prevent and control NCDs

Abstract. Kapanewon Nanggulan is the sub-district capital in the Kulon Progo area of ​​the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY), which has a lot of tourism potential, both natural tourism and culinary tourism, which, of course, offers excellent comfort for all tourists or visitors from outside the area. The problems found in Nanggulan are tourism actors in the Nanggulan area that have not been well coordinated. Nanggulan does not yet have a brand identity that can cover all tourism brands in the region. Natural tourism potential has not been positioned consistently. Therefore, the community service team recommends the solution for making the umbrella brand Nanggulan a regional identity that accommodates all tourism brands in Nanggulan and Making a Graphic Standard Manual as a reference book for applying the umbrella brand to all promotional media. The result of this dedication is the identity of the Kapanewon Nanggulan destination, which is designed as a differentiator from the image of rice fields on the hillsides of Menoreh. Novelty in this study is visualized through the key visual of terraced rice fields, which are made in a topographical style, a la digital map, so that it is hoped that potential tourists will be familiar with them.
