Authors: I Al-kholani Abdulwahab
Published: June 2024

Each smile is unique, and smiles reflect the different shapes, textures, and colors of the teeth and their combinations. When creating a new smile design dentists need to consider the biology, structure, function, and esthetics to create the fifth dimension of the smile. This approach is completely different from the conventional one. A smile reflects the personality and emotional state of the patient, and the translation of this into a new smile design occurs either by analog methods or digitally. A smile is a person's ability to express a wide range of emotions with the movement and structure of the teeth, dentofacial, esthetic lips, social and psychological (Rambabu et al, 2018) it also determines how well a person functions in society. When a person has a harmonious smile. it is always assumed that it increases self-esteem and their ability to interact properly and more confidently in their surroundings.

Viral Hijacking of Host RNA-binding Proteins: Implications for Viral Replication and Pathogenesis
Authors: Serge Andigema Angyiba
Published: June 2024

In the intricate dance between viruses and host cells, RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) serve as crucial orchestrators of gene expression and cellular processes. We will delve into the riveting realm of viral hijacking, where viruses deftly exploit host RBPs to manipulate cellular machinery for their replication and pathogenesis. Through a masterstroke of molecular subterfuge, viruses co-opt RBPs involved in various facets of RNA metabolism - from transcription to degradation - to promote viral gene expression and evade host immune defenses. This manipulation leads to global alterations in cellular RNA metabolism, impacting essential host genes vital for immune responses and homeostasis. Unveiling this clandestine alliance between viruses and RBPs is not just a scientific pursuit, but a critical imperative for devising innovative antiviral strategies to disrupt these interactions. By unraveling the intricate interplay between viral proteins and host RBPs throughout the viral life cycle - from entry to assembly - researchers aim to identify vulnerabilities that can be targeted for therapeutic intervention. Strategies such as disrupting viral protein-RBP interactions hold promise for inhibiting viral replication and curbing pathogenesis, offering a beacon of hope in the battle against viral infections. Our manuscript elucidates the indispensable roles played by RBPs in viral replication, translation, and pathogenesis, shedding light on the molecular mechanisms driving viral success. Delving deeper, it explores how viruses intricately entwine with host RBPs, manipulating cellular signaling pathways to create a hospitable environment for viral spread. By dissecting these manipulative tactics, researchers uncover new targets for antiviral therapy, envisioning a future where tailored interventions disrupt viral-host RBP interactions with precision and efficacy. As the narrative unfolds, the therapeutic implications of targeting RBPs or their interactions with viral proteins emerge as a promising frontier in the fight against viral infections. From small molecule inhibitors to RNA-based therapeutics, innovative approaches are on the horizon, offering new avenues for combating viral diseases. We set the stage for future research, beckoning researchers to delve deeper into the molecular intricacies of viral hijacking of RBPs and charting a course towards novel therapeutic interventions that promise to reshape the landscape of antiviral therapy.\ Ultimately, it beckons the scientific community to embark on a voyage of discovery, unraveling the secrets of viral hijacking of RBPs and paving the way for transformative advances in antiviral therapeutics. The stage is set for a new chapter in the battle against viral infections, where knowledge becomes the sword and innovation the shield against the pernicious machinations of viral pathogens.

Published: June 2024

Stability of a switching system, which comes to existence when stabilizing a chain of two integrators by a feedback in the form of nested saturators, is studied. The use of the feedback in the form of nested saturators makes it possible to take into account boundedness of the control resource and to ensure the fulfillment of the phase constraint on the velocity of approaching the equilibrium state, which is especially important in the case of large initial deviations. A Lyapunov function is constructed by means of which global asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system is proved for any positive feedback coefficients.

Principles of organization
of above-ground shoot systems
Authors: Kostina M. V. , Barabanshchikova N. S.
Published: June 2024

The aim of the study was to identify ways of forming of the main skeletal
axes (MSA) in shrub and semi-shrub life forms. We identified 4 organization
types of the MSA based on the nature of their accreting, the structure and
degree of generative shoots participation in their formation. Type I – the MSA
are formed as a result of sympodial accreting on the basis of generative shoots,
both with apical and axillary inflorescences. Type II – the MSA are formed
as a result of monopodial accreting changing to sympodial accreting and
consist of vegetative and generative shoots. Type III – the MSA accrete
monopodially and consist only of vegetative shoots or even of generative
shoots with axillary inflorescences. Type IV – the MSA accrete sympodially
and consist only of vegetative shoots or also of generative shoots with axillary
inflorescences. Semi-shrub life forms have types I and II of organization of the main skeletal axes, shrubs – all four. Difficulties with the determination
of life forms in species of types I and II are due to the influence of growing
conditions on the degree of death of generative shoots. V.N. Golubev (1968)
erroneously classified creeping woody monopodial errating dwarf shrubs
as dwarf semi-shrubs, which is due to the emphasis not on long-term growing
skeletal axes, but on annually dying off herbaceous elongated orthotropic
generative shoots
Geochemical features of copper accumulation in the soil and spring common wheat (Triticum aestivum) in the conditions of the South of Tyumen region
Authors: Sindireva A. V. , Elizarov O. I. , Kotchenko S. G.
Published: June 2024

The article presents data on the content of copper in the plow horizon of the main types of soils in Tyumen region and in plants grown on these soils. The interrelations of its distribution with the content of mobile forms of a number of macro- and microelements in soils were determined, and the interrelations of copper with chemical elements when entering plants were studied. To analyze the geochemical features of the microelement distribution in the soil cover and vegetation, field, laboratory, and statistical research methods were used. When summarizing and analyzing the material, we used our own research and materials from the reports of the “Tyumensky” State Center for Agrochemical Service on the survey of arable soils in Tyumen region. In all the studied types of soils in the south of Tyumen region, the excess of the maximum permissible concentrations of copper is not observed. An inverse relationship has been established between mobile forms of copper and humus, manganese, and lead. For the elements zinc, cobalt, iron, sulfur, cadmium, nickel, mercury, arsenic, the connection with mobile forms of copper has not been established. The content of copper in plants of spring soft wheat Triticum aestivum grown on the studied soil types was studied. For the south of the Tyumen region (within the considered reference areas), the highest content of the trace element is noted in the Tyumensky district (6.4 mg/kg), the lowest in Zavodoukovsky (3.83 mg/kg). The interrelation of copper with macro- and microelements upon entering plants was studied. A high positive correlation has been established between the content of copper and zinc, manganese, cadmium, potassium, and calcium. With cobalt, lead, arsenic, nitrogen, phosphorus, a reliable relationship has not been established. The data obtained can be used in environmental monitoring as initial, background reporting points in assessing the degree of pollution of agrocenoses, the availability of arable soils with copper, as well as in predicting the content and effect of copper in the soil-plant system in the South of Tyumen region
Technology for Internet mapping
of the ecological and magnetic state
of soils in urban areas
Authors: Vasiliev A. A. , Chashchin A. N.
Published: June 2024

The paper describes the technology of Internet mapping of the ecological
and magnetic state of soils on the example of the soil cover of the town of Chusovoi in Perm Region. The ecological and magnetic state of soils
reflects the results of the long-term impact of industry and transport
on the urban ecosystem, and the presentation of such data in the form of maps
is generally accepted in ecological soil science. However, there is a problem
of availability of spatial data characterizing soil pollution, caused, on the one
hand, by the placement of materials in specialized literature and reports, and,
on the other hand, by digital inequality due to the specificity of geographic
information. In this regard, today the process of integration of geoinformation
technologies and web technologies is actively taking place. The purpose
of the research is to develop the technology for creating a typical web map
of the ecological and magnetic state of soils in an urbanized area. The creation
of a web map of the ecological and magnetic state of soils was carried out
according to the standard stages of soil mapping: preparatory, field, and
final cameral. Maps of magnetic susceptibility and content of heavy metals
in soils were made using the ordinary kriging. Web application development
is implemented using the qgis2web module and the Brackets code editor.
The web application is hosted on the GitHub Pages platform. The results
of the work represent a combination of geostatistics and visualization
methods based on Internet mapping technologies, which makes it possible
to present a whole set of geoecological maps dedicated to the ecological and
magnetic state of soils in the form of a website. The presented geotechnology
greatly simplifies the development of a soil-ecological web GIS application –
the work is mainly carried out in a GIS environment and therefore does not
require advanced competencies of a soil-cartographer in web programming

The aim of the study was to investigate various psychophysiological
predictors of the quality of monotonous activity performance against
the background of sleep deprivation. Fourteen subjects aged 18–22 years
took part in the experiments. Each subject participated in four experimental
sessions with partially automated control scenarios in a computerized driving
simulator: the first experiment (15 minutes) – training session in the simulator
without sleep deprivation; the second experiment – sleep deprivation
(90 minutes); the third experiment – sleep deprivation and periodic exposure
to a massage seat cover (90 minutes); the fourth experiment – sleep
deprivation and periodic spraying of peppermint oil from an aroma diffuser
(90 minutes). Every 3–7 minutes, subjects were asked to respond to two types
of stimuli: 1) gradually changing; 2) appearing unexpectedly and requiring
maneuvering. Stimulus intervals and stimulus order were varied randomly.
Car driving simulator data, electroencephalogram using the standard 10–20 system with a sampling rate of 1000 Hz, electrocardiogram and
skin-galvanic response were recorded. A three-dimensional video camera
was mounted on a monitor in front of the subject to track head position
and changes of the subject's facial expressions throughout the experiment.
Subjects completed questionnaires on sleepiness and general well-being, and
reaction time was also tested before the experiment. According to the results
of the questionnaires and test performance, the subjects were in a state
of chronic sleep deprivation and chronic stress. No statistically significant
differences between the experiments after partial sleep deprivation without
additional stimulation, with the use of a massage seat cover and periodic
spraying of peppermint oil every 10 minutes were seen. The eye closure rate
(PERCLOS) and spectral index of heart rate variability showed a significant
statistically reliable increase before errors. The values of physiological indices
before errors indicate different causes of errors in experiments without and
with exposure to peppermint oil or massage seat cover.

The research objective was to assess the salinity of soils of an average city
with a developed industrial production on the example of Gus-Khrustalny,
Vladimir region. It was found that calcium cations and sulfate anions predominate in the studied soils. The increase in the content of individual
ions has a local character associated with various sources of pollution.
The excess of the maximum permissible concentration of nitrate ions
by 1.1 times (145.05 mg/kg) is near the glass factory. The industrial zone
of Gus-Khrustalny is characterized by contamination with toxic anions
SO4
2–, NO3
–, as well as Mg2+ and K+
cations associated with the specifics
of gas-air emissions of enterprises. Roadside areas are mainly contaminated
with Na+
and Cl–, which come as part of deicing reagents. The most saline
is the sample taken in the transport zone, characterized by a maximum
content of Cl– (2819.5 mg/kg), SO4
2– (134.65 mg/kg), Na+
(2046.5 mg/kg) and
a value of electrical conductivity (731.8 µS/cm). This study demonstrates that
despite the significant impact of industrial enterprises, the primary source
of salinization of the city soils is road transport.

Published: June 2024

Статтю присвячено пошуку умов створення гейміфікованого середовища у процесі дистанційного навчання математики учнів початкової школи. Відзначено, що у сучасних умовах дистанційне навчання стало єдиною доступною формою освітнього процесу в системі початкової освіти. Одним із шляхів організації дистанційного навчання математики є створення гейміфікованого середовища засобами електронних сервісів і веб-платформ. Мета статті полягає у дослідженні умов ефективної організації гейміфікованого середовища у процесі дистанційного навчання математики молодших школярів. На підставі аналізу теоретичних джерел розкрито сутність гейміфікації навчання як процесу застосування типових елементів гри та ігрових механік у різних контекстах освітнього процесу (нарахування балів, змагання, таблиці лідерів тощо). У статті розкрито інструментарій гейміфікованого навчання, проаналізовано його переваги та недоліки. Визначено, що гейміфікація створює середовище, яке мотивує учнів бути більш залученими та активними у навчанні, що призводить до кращих результатів. Основні результати дослідження полягають у виявленні основних недоліків впровадження гейміфікації в освітній процес початкової школи. А саме: складність у дотриманні балансу між гейміфікованим середовищем та освітнім змістом; проблеми з доступністю учнів до гаджетів, комп’ютерів, мережі Інтернет; неналежна підготовка вчителів початкової школи до створення ефективного гейміфікованого середовище у процесі навчання математики своїх учнів. Висновки та обговорення. Розвиваюче гейміфіковане середовище поступово стає реальним конкурентом традиційному навчанню. Забезпечення ефективного гейміфікованого середовища у процесі дистанційного навчання математики учнів початкової школи можливе завдяки дотримання певних умов, а саме: ігрові сервіси мають бути інтегровані у навчальний процес та допомагати досягти навчальних цілей; ігрові сервіси мають бути цікавими для учнів молодшого шкільного віку, мотивувати їх до навчання; ігри потрібно використовувати систематично; ретельно продумувати систему заохочень; важливо відрізняти ігри для дистанційного та змішаного навчання.
ТЕОРЕТИЧНІ АСПЕКТИ ПОБУДОВИ МОДЕЛЕЙ ПСИХОЛОГО-ПЕДАГОГІЧНОГО СУПРОВОДУ ДИТИНИ З ООП ТА ЇЇ СІМ'Ї
Authors: БРУШНЕВСЬКА Ірина
Published: June 2024

Метою статті є аналіз основних вітчизняних та зарубіжних моделей психолого-педагогічного супроводу дитини з ООП та її сім'ї. Аналіз науково-практичних джерел засвідчив, що у сучасній педагогіці та освітній практиці активно використовується поняття «психолого-педагогічний супровід». Незважаючи на велику кількість публікацій з питань психолого-педагогічного супроводу, окремі аспекти супроводжувальної діяльності для молодших школярів з особливими освітніми потребами (ООП) недостатньо досліджені. Автор аналізує різні підходи науковців до визначення поняття психолого-педагогічного супроводу сім'ї, зазначаючи, що кожне визначення по різному визначає роль дитини з особливими освітніми потребами та її сім’ї у цьому процесі. Існує дві концепції інвалідності, у яких дитина з ООП має зовсім різний соціальний статус. Залежно від того, якої із цих двох позицій дотримуватися, варто пропонувати різні моделі психолого-педагогічного супроводу сім'ї з такою дитиною. У першому випадку інвалідність розглядається як особиста (особливо медична) проблема людини. У цій моделі інвалідність розглядається в контексті зв’язку між людиною та її хворобою. У другому випадку обмежені можливості здоров'я розглядаються як соціальна проблема, яка викликає психологічні проблеми. Реалізуючи цей підхід, ми зосереджуємося на стосунках між людьми та їх оточенням. У рамках цього підходу використовується термін «люди (діти) з особливими освітніми потребами». У цьому випадку завданням психологічної допомоги є залучення сімей і дітей з ООП до нормального соціального життя. Аналіз зарубіжних практик психолого-педагогічної підтримки сімей, які виховують дітей з особливими освітніми потребами, наголошують на важливості якісного догляду за дітьми, гуманного ставлення до дітей раннього віку, розвитку навичок саморегуляції у батьків. Мета навчання батьків – побудувати партнерські стосунки з дитиною. Сьогодні в Україні може спрацювати лише комплексний підхід, який об’єднує зусилля різних фахівців, які підтримують дітей з особливими потребами. Важливо поєднувати психологічну підтримку з освітньою, соціальною та правовою допомогою.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are considered the most prevalent infectious disorders. They can affect the entire urinary tract or specific a portion of it and are mostly brought on by bacteria that are found in the intestine. The present study included 82 pregnant women whom age ranged from 17 to 40 (mean ± SD: 27.44 ± 6.66) and divided to 13 in the first trimester, 9 in the second, and 60 in the third. Also, the study included 56 apparently healthy pregnant women as a control, with age (mean ± SD: 27.11 ± 5.59). Patients with UTIs had lower mean serum levels of IL-6 (12.08 ±16.35 pg/ml) compared to control group (42.19 ± 28.0 pg/ml). Also, the same patients showed had lower mean serum levels of IL-1β (6.91 ± 11.78 pg/ml) compared to control group (43.32 ± 34.62 pg/ml). The conclusions, UTIs continues to be one the most socio-health problems that need a lot of care diagnosis and treatment. Both IL-6 and    IL-1β in UTIs pregnant women identification may contribute as Diagnostic marker tools for associated infections.
The More, the Merrier; the American Dream in Sandra Cisneros’ The House on Mango Street, an Extrinsic Material Nightmare.
Authors:   University of Utah, Martínez Rey Sergio
Published: June 2024

Sandra Cisneros’s renowned novel The House on Mango Street (1984) approaches fundamental issues such as cultural identity, gender and ethnicity put in relation with the hopes and ambitions of Esperanza, a young Chicana living in a barrio in the 60s, with all this entails. Esperanza’s view on Mango Street is deeply enrooted in the endemic materialism that is a quintessential part of the American dream. With this in mind, this paper will aim to analyze The House on Mango Street by discerning the definitory principles of the American dream in the scope of economic status and the revisited concepts of psychological and economic well-being. Through this examination, the contrast between financial goals and actual happiness will be proven central in the development of its main character and her final reaffirmation as Chicana
Tradición épica de la paz: El narrador Peter Handke
Authors:   Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis, Carstensen Thorsten
Published: June 2024

El redescubrimiento épico del mundo que Peter Handke persigue en sus diarios y relatos de viaje se basa en el programa de una transfiguración consciente. Al recurrir a los monumentos silenciosos, a las formas y colores cotidianos, a los olores, a los sonidos y a los gestos, los textos de Handke ofrecen una resistencia estética a los signos omnipresentes del poder y la autoridad políticos. Sin embargo, es precisamente esta notable difusión del potencial pacificador de la literatura lo que deja claro que el horror de la historia no puede ser simplemente ignorado: la narración de Handke está muy marcada por el signo de la guerra, cuyas consecuencias experimenta repetidamente el yo escritor como un alejamiento de la realidad y del lenguaje. Al mismo tiempo, Handke examina en sus escritos las pretensiones y los límites de su propia estética: y los límites de su propia estética: ¿se puede contar la paz de forma “emocionante”?

Published: June 2024

En este trabajo, se utilizó el modelo tridimensional de Análisis Crítico del Discurso (ACD) de Fairclough (2001) con el objeto de analizar segmentos de El Lector de Schlink para dar cuenta de la dimensión del texto donde analizamos algunos recuerdos del personaje masculino relacionados con el romance que tuvo con el personaje femenino, sobre todo, analizamos los recuerdos sobre el Holocausto y los juicios relacionados con los perpetradores después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Además, analizamos las estrategias de persuasión utilizadas por el personaje femenino cuyo fin es ocultar su analfabetismo. Asimismo, observamos algunas metáforas en el texto, pero también las prácticas discursivas en algunos segmentos en relación con los limites de la memoria sobre los acontecimientos mencionados. Es importante mencionar que la dimensión discursiva se presentó aislada, pero también entrelazada con el texto y con la dimensión sociocultural. Finalmente, esta última dimensión del modelo se exploró a través de la identidad de los personajes, la ideología del autor y del traductor y el poder que la propia novela tenia a través de la editorial y la distribución de la novela como producto literario.
Cashing in on the Ring of Fire: Its "value" to Ontario's EV Market & Supply Chain, A Life Cycle assessment of the Mining Sector
Authors: Leckman Anna
Published: June 2024

The climate is changing, largely in part due to anthropogenic behaviour ‚Äî the use of fossil fuels. The paper explores one of the largest contributors to global carbon emissions: the transportation sector and the shift towards electrification. However, rather than the more typical approach taken to directly evaluate the transportation sector, this paper opted for a rather unique approach by beginning the evaluation of emissions from the mining sector, where the commodities for electric vehicles are largely sourced. After evaluating two interdependent sectors' emissions using a life cycle assessment approach, the results indicated a net benefit for the mining project in question in Ontario, and more broadly the benefit of bringing an electric vehicle supply chain to Ontario. On the global stage, diversifying the commodities needed for transportation -- a premise considered vital to individual and national economic prosperity -- is necessary to bring about more balanced global stage. If projects similar to those evaluated in this study were done with forethought for the environment, a greener future might just be possible.
Electrospinning Asphaltenes With Low-Cost Polymers: Towards High-Value Carbon Materials
Authors: Mananquil Tristan
Published: June 2024

As a large exporter of oil, Canada produces millions of barrels each day. The heaviest component of crude oil contains a class of molecules called asphaltenes. Asphaltenes are polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with a varying degree of alkyl chains and heteroatoms. These molecules are known to cause several issues with oil production and transportation, as they tend to aggregate and adsorb onto surfaces. This results in reduced oil production, the need for diluents, and increased cost to clean and replace equipment. While asphaltenes are used in asphalt, they represent a massive waste byproduct that if removed at the source could clean our oil sector and be used as building blocks for new carbon-based materials and technology. To this end, this research focuses on the valorization of asphaltenes en route to high-value carbon nanomaterials. A technique known as electrospinning is used to create asphaltene-containing nanofibers that could then be pyrolyzed to produce carbon-based fibers. Unfortunately, p-stacking is a challenge with electrospinning asphaltene and therefore low-cost polymer additives (e.g. lignin) have been explored to disrupt aggregation and improve the spinnability of asphaltene. The combination of asphaltene/polyvinylalcohol/lignin (MassRatio) proved most successful, and the attempt leading to this composition and the resulting properties of the nanofibers is discussed herein.

THE EFFECTS OF POLYA'S PROBLEM SOLVING WITH DIGITAL BAR MODEL ON THE ALGEBRAIC THINKING SKILLS OF SEVENTH GRADERS
Authors: Jahudin Janet , Siew Nyet Moi
Published: June 2024

There is a dearth of empirical data to support the positive effects of problem solving (PS) combined with digital technology in the classroom, despite claims that these activities improve students' algebraic thinking abilities. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate how the teaching method known as Polya's problem solving with digital bar model (PSDMB) affected the seventh graders' ability to think algebraically. Ralston's framework, which covers Generalised Arithmetic, Function, and Modelling within the topic of Linear Equation, served as the foundation for the evaluation of algebraic thinking abilities. A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test control group design was employed. A total of 90 seventh graders, aged twelve- to thirteen-year-olds, from a secondary school in Tambunan, Sabah, Malaysia, made up the sample. Three teaching groups were formed out of these randomly chosen students: PSDMB (n = 30), Bar Model (MB) (n = 30), and Conventional Problem Solving (CPS) (n = 30). Both the pre- and post-algebraic thinking tests were taken by students. The post-test results were analysed using MANCOVA with the students' pre-test results acting as covariates. The results indicated that students in the PSDMB group performed notably better in Generalised Arithmetic, Function, and Modelling than those in the MB group, who, in turn, outperformed those in the CPS group. These results imply that incorporating digital bar model into problem-based learning is a successful strategy for improving seventh graders' algebraic thinking abilities.

Expression of p53 and ki-67 in Breast Carcinomas and Their Association with Histopathological Type, Grade, and Stage
Authors: Kabir Saba Binta , Badruddoza Shah Md , Asafuddllah S M
Published: June 2024

Background & objective: Recently many laboratories are evaluating the usefulness of determining p53, and Ki67 proliferation activities using immunohistochemical techniques in cancer. Although the available studies suggest that these factors might help make treatment decisions in cancer patients, their clinical usefulness is still controversial. The present study was undertaken to see the expression of p53 and Ki-67 in breast carcinoma and their associations with histopathological variables.
Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in the Department of Pathology, in collaboration with the Department of Surgery, Rajshahi Medical College Hospital and the Department of Pathology, Bangobandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka over a period of one and a half year from July 2018 to December 2019. Resected specimens of breast tissue, histopathologically confirmed as breast carcinoma, were the study population. Histological grading of breast carcinoma was done according to Nottingham modification of the Bloom-Richardson system, while staging was done using Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) classification of malignant tumors, as recommended by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). The Ki67 and p53 expressions were assessed by immunohistochemistry. Based on the Ki67 labeling index (Ki67-LI), the patients were divided into two groups – Ki 67 > 30% (considered as over-expressed) and ≤ 30% (considered as less expressed). Likewise, p53 immuno-expression was grouped as over-expressed (score ≤ 8) and low-expressed (score > 8). The histological grade, type, and stage were then compared between patients with tumours of high and low proliferating activities to find the associations of Ki67 and p53 with tumor grade, type, and stage.
Result: In the present study, almost three-quarters (74%) of the specimen of the breast had high Ki67-LI and 26% intermediate and low Ki67-LI. The p53 was found to be highly expressed in the majority (86%) of the cases. Analyses of the association of biomarkers with histological grade, stage, and type revealed that advanced-stage breast cancers (Stage-IIIA) were more likely to be associated with high Ki67-LI than the early-stage breast cancers (Stage-IIA and Stage-IIB) (p = 0.023). Poorly differentiated (G3) carcinoma also more often tends to be associated with high Ki67-LI than with low and intermediate Ki67-LI (p = 0.066). Likewise, stage IIIA tumors and poorly differentiated carcinoma were also considerably higher in the p53 over-expressed group (23.3%) than in the low p53 expression group (14.3%) (p = 0.023).
Conclusion: The study concluded that a substantial proportion of breast carcinomas demonstrates high Ki67-LI. The p53 overexpression is also found in the majority (86%) of the breast carcinoma cases. Both Ki67 and p53 proliferation activities show their significant presence in high-grade and advanced-stage tumours.
