Published: April 2023

Purpose: The main objective of this study was to determine the species composition and structure of habitats exploited by elephants in the Campo Maan Forest.

Methodology: Using the transect methods, purposively, 1km transects were laid along identified feeding tracts in various habitats. 15 transects with each having 4 quadrates of 30x30m were established at interval of 220m summing up to a total of 5.4 hectares of land covered for the study within which data was collected. In the quadrates, all vascular plants with dbh >10cm (diameter at breast height about 1.3m above the ground) were measured and identified. In each quadrate, four subplots of 15mx15m were placed at the corners to sample understory and herbs.

Findings: Results reveal a total of 1113 individual trees with DBH of ≥ 10 cm identified and measured belong to 49 species from 24 families. Fabaceae was the most dominant family of plants with 425 individual trees counted with Caesalpinioideae being the dominant specie type (116); followed by Calpocalyx heitzii (92). Lowland evergreen forest (Casalpinioideae) recorded the highest number of tree species counted (462, 41.5%) of the total tree species. Trees DBH varies between 10 and 64 cm with mean values of 29.45±11.48 cm, 23.3±7.759 cm, 27.69±9.189 cm and 25.75±14.056 cm for Lowland evergreen forest (Casalpinioideae), Lowland evergreen forest (mixed), Coastal forest (Sacoglotis gabonensis)  and Coastal forest (mixed)  respectively. A large number of trees recorded heights of above 30m though it was higher for Lowland evergreen forest (mixed), Coastal forest (Sacoglotis gabonensis) and the Coastal forest (mixed). For the understory, the dominant specie types are Scaphopetalum blackii, Palisota ambigua, Asystasia macrophylla, Podococcus barteri, Microdesmis puberula, Heistera pavifora, Haumania danckelmaniana, Alchornea floribunda all counting 9 and 10 individual Trees). Results revealed highly positive and significant correlations between trees DBH and height (r=0.84, p=0.000). The Shannon’s diversity index indicates that the tree diversity for all habitats are fairly even with Coastal forest (Sacoglotis gabonensis) having a value of 4.73. The Coastal forest (mixed) shows the highest rate of basal area (76.39); followed by Coastal forest (Sacoglotis gabonensis) (41.50) and Lowland evergreen forest (Casalpinioideae) (32.26), all indicating high basal areas.

Recommendation: Further studies on habitat fragmentation are needed to assess its effects on elephant movement within the area.

Published: April 2023

The adequacy of digital literacy (DL) among entrepreneurs can trigger the birth of readiness and ability to carry out digital transformation (DT) in relevant business processes and models in the digital economy era to improve entrepreneurial performance with better competitiveness. Also the existence of an entrepreneurial commitment to market orientation (MO) will facilitate business success. This research identifies and explores entrepreneurial performance (EP) models in the digital economy era in terms of DT, DL and MO mediation. The path analysis model was used to test the combined interaction of DT and DL with EP, and the MO relationship that mediates all three. The findings, DT and DL had a significant positive effect on MO both individually and jointly. DT directly has a significant positive effect on EP, also DL directly has a significant positive effect on EP. Sobel test results, it is known that DT has an insignificant positive effect on EP through MO, while DL has a significant positive effect on EP through MO. MO has the mediating effect of DT and DL relationships in influencing EP, consequently MO has a positive impact on EP. This research offers a framework for the performance model of entrepreneurship in a business perspective in the era of the digital economy. The adoption and modification of marketing mix factors into new marketing mix models is necessary to support the implementation of strategies and practices. An exploration of the influence of innovative new marketing mix models on DT practices, DL readiness and MO clarity in the context of entrepreneurship, as well as their implications for business performance, can be considered as future research directions.

Authors: Bhaskarjyoti Talukdar
Published: April 2023

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of high dose radiotherapy 63 Gray (Gy) with or without concurrent chemotherapy in Esophageal Cancer (EC) patients of North-East, India.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: All reported EC patients belonging to different states of North-East and treated with radical intent with high dose radiotherapy with or without concurrent chemotherapy during the period 2017-2018 (2 years) at State Cancer Institute (SCI),Gauhati Medical College (GMC), Assam, India were included in the study. This study was retrospective in nature and two years retrospective data were analyzed for clinical outcome. Statistical analysis of data was done using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) and Disease Free Survival (DFS) was calculated using Kaplan-Meier method.

RESULTS: Total 105 patients were treated during the period. All patients received a total dose of 63 Gy radiation. Out of 105 patients, 76 patients (72.4%) received concurrent chemotherapy and 29 patients (27.6%) not received chemotherapy only due to co-morbidities. Here, at first follow up, 89 (84.8%) patients showed complete response, 10 (9.5%) showed partial response and 6 (5.7%) showed progressive disease. Treatment related toxicities were assessed. None of the patient developed > Grade 2 toxicity.

Further, Median Disease Free Survival (DFS) was 13 months with estimated mean was 16.98 months. Also, Standard Error (SE) =1.683, Confidence Interval (CI) =13.682-20.279.

CONCLUSION: The high dose radiation (63 Gy) with concurrent chemotherapy as weekly regimen of Cisplatin or Paclitaxel plus Carboplatin is an effective definitive treatment of Stage I – IVA EC with acceptable toxicity. Median DFS is minimal in EC irrespective of the treatment. The rate of survival is decreasing rapidly before the median DFS and the rate of survival is constant after the Median DFS.

Let Us Create a Physical IoT Device Using AWS and ESP Module
Authors: Chakraborty Sudip , Aithal P. S.
Published: April 2023

Purpose: This research paper explores the feasibility of creating a physical AWS IoT device using an ESP module. The paper describes the steps and process of building such a device, including the required hardware and software components. The ESP module is chosen for its low cost, small size, and ability to connect to the internet through Wi-Fi. The AWS IoT platform manages and monitors the device, including the ability to receive and send data to and from the device. The paper includes a detailed explanation of the programming and setup involved in creating the device and the challenges and limitations encountered during the process. Ultimately, this paper demonstrates that creating a physical AWS IoT device using an ESP module is possible, providing a cost-effective solution for developers looking to build IoT devices. The project code is available to download.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Initially, we create things inside the AWS cloud. Download all certificates and credentials. Then the downloaded credential, we added to the project variable—the Code compiles and runs. Our ESP8266 hardware is then ready to receive the topic. We use two channels to send the topic to our ESP Module. We can send topics using the AWS cloud MQTT test client interface. Another way is from the C# dot net MQTT client application. We develop an application in the visual studio that can update the AWS device shadows. We will notice that data sending to the AWS Device shadows and updating the ESP module almost in real-time.
Findings/Result: We use the ESP module to experiment with the AWS IoT interface. Sometimes researchers need to transfer the data over IoT. So here we provide the complete practical guide for IoT experiments. Here we demonstrate How to create the IoT devices and send/update the IoT Devices' Shadow. We integrated the C# MQTT client. Using our created application, we will update AWS cloud MQTT devices shadows. It might be more help full for new researchers to integrate IoT into their projects.
Originality/Value: After studying Several documents, we created this paper after doing lots of experiments so that our researcher could experiment easily. The available Code is wholly tested and workable. Our researchers can integrate it into their projects with a little customizing effort. The researcher can find some revenant documents for their research work.
Paper Type: Experimental-based Research.

"МОТИВНЫЕ ДОМИНАНТЫ ЛИРИКИ Б. КАНАПЬЯНОВА"
Authors: Қ. Р. Нұрғали  , М. Д. Амангелді
Published: April 2023

"В статье исследуется система мотивов поэтического языка казахстанского поэта Б. Канапьянова, отображенная в его лирике. Система мотивов анализируется как совокупность ее содержательных и структурных компонентов. Главная задача работы – описать устойчивые мотивы в поэтическом тексте через способы их создания и развития. В качестве исходной позиции выступает наличие мотива в прямом и переносном смысле. От способа выражения мотива в тексте зависит характер его изображения. Обязательное изучение системы мотивов означает обращение к как авторским проблемам в общем, так и к конкретным образным рядам. В статье предпринята попытка определить специфику мотивов лирики Б. Канапьянова в сравнении с общекультурными мотивами, выявлять и классифицировать в художественных текстах приемы и средства их изображения. Значительное место занимает вопрос структурирования субконцептосфер, как «семья», «Родина», «степь», «аул». Определены их компоненты и системные связи между ними, выделены и классифицированы основные языковые средства их репрезентации. В результате анализа сделан вывод, что мотивы выполняют различные функции: от характеристики лирической ситуации до образа, ключевой темы стихотворения. Диапазон осмысления системы мотивов и ее художественного выражения достаточно широк и разнообразен. Их анализ позволяет глубже понять мировоззрение автора, отраженное в его поэзии, и сформулировать понимание его творчества на новом уровне. Ключевые слова: мотив, лирика, культура, топос, анализ, ценностные ориентиры, традиции, самоидентификация. "

"Данная статья посвящена исследованию роли термина в формировании разнообразных знаний: лингвистических, экстралингвистических, специальных, обыденных, научно-профессиональных, культурных, свидетельствующих о его когнитивной и прагматической природе. Являясь когнитивно-логической моделью знания, система терминов, с помощью которых общаются специалисты определенной области, представляет собой особые когнитивные структуры – фреймы. Все человеческие мысли строятся на основе знаний о внешнем мире, упорядоченных в определенные категории – ментальные объекты, отражающие наиболее существенные свойства и отношения предметов реального мира природы и людей (количество предметов, пространство и время, статика и динамика, оценочность и эмотивность и т.д.). Дефинитивность и системность термина как знака специального понятия предопределяет фреймовую организацию терминосистем. В связи с этим адекватной процедурой лингвокогнитивного и лингвокультурологического исследования терминологического пространства музыковедения является метод фреймового описания. Исследование лингвокультурологической и научной картины мира путем выявления процессов категоризации и концептуализации дает нам представление об участии разных структур знания человеческого опыта в продуктах когнитивно-дискурсивной деятельности индивида, субъективность человеческого опыта и влияние не научного, а обыденного восприятия мира раскрывает гораздо нагляднее специфику разнообразных терминосистем. Ключевые слова: терминосистема, категориальная отнесенность, термин, концепт, фрейм, общий фон знаний, смысловая структура. "

"Мақалада Абай Құнанбайұлының туындыларының өзегіне айналған адам мәселесі жайындағы еңбектерінің ұлттық-өңірлік компонент ретінде түпнұсқа және аудармаларды салыстырмалы оқыту арқылы әлеуметтік-мәдени құзыреттілікті қалыптастыру құралына айналғандығы қарастырылады. Ғылымда антропоцентристік парадигма кең таралмай тұрып, өзі өмір сүрген XIX ғасырдың тұсында-ақ Абай өзіне дейінгі ойшылдардың еңбегін зерттеп, олардың шығармаларын аудару барысында қазақ әдебиетінде жаңаша жазба стиль қалыптастырғаны мақалада қарастырылады. Абай өз халқының жағдайына байланысты ой-толғаныстарын қарасөз, философиялық өлеңдері арқылы, толық адам концепциясы негізінде көрсетіп, жастарды жарқын болашақты құруға, білімге, рухани дамуға шақырғаны сөз етіледі. Ақынның өлеңдері терең философиялық сарында жазылып, әлеуметтік-тарихи жағдайлар жайында көзқарасын білдіретіні арнайы сөз болады. Ақынның шығармашылығына деген қызығушылық XX ғасырдан бастап, ақын шығармалары баспаға шыққан тұста кең өріс ала бастағаны дәлелденеді. Абайдың өлеңдері мен қарасөздері көптеген тілдерге аударылып, қазақ тілі мен әдебиетінің, қазақ елінің тарихының даңқын асқақтата түскені аталады. Алайда Абайдың ағылшын тіліндегі аудармалары тікелей қазақ тілінен емес, орыс тілінен ағылшын тіліне аударылуына байланысты, түпнұсқа мәтін мен аударма мәтінде мағынасына, философиялық көзқарастың оқырманға толық нақты жеткізілмеуі, ақынның түпкі идеясының ашылмай, бұрмаланып кетуі сынды кемшіліктер мақалада жан-жақты талданып көрсетіледі. Қазақ тілінен орыс тіліне аударылған шығармалардың да Абайдың деңгейіне жетпей, әлі де сапалы аударманың қажет екендігі ұсыныс ретінде беріледі.

"Қазақ фольклортану ғылымында соңғы жылдарда ғана қолға алынып, зерттеле бастаған тақырыптардың бірі – хандар мен батырларға қатысты тарихи жырлар. Халқымыздың ұлы тұлға, біртуар қайраткерлерін тарихи деректер ауқымынан ғана танып білу жеткіліксіз екендігі белгілі. Олай болса, тарихи тұлғаларды жете тану үшін фольклорлық мұраларды да жан-жақты саралап, талдаудың маңызы зор. Олжабай батыр жайында жазылған тарихи жырлар қазақ әдебиетінде талғамы биік, өмір шындығын негіз еткен тарихи деректі әрі көркемдік дәрежесі жоғары шығармалар қатарынан орын алады. Бұл мақалада Олжабай батыр жырындағы кездесетін тұрақты сарындардың ерекшелігі мен ұқсастықтары қарастырылады. Жырдағы тұрақты сарындар жайлы ғалымдар тарапынан берілген пікірлер сөз болып, оның қолданыс аясы айқындалады. Эпикалық заңдылық шеңберінде жасалған көркем суреттеулер салыстырылып сипатталған.

A Review: Effect of Heartwood Proportion in Wood Properties
Authors: Arisandi Rizki
Published: April 2023

This study aims to examine the effect of heartwood proportion on wood properties for construction materials by reviewing 98 journal articles and non-articles. The data were collected through an online search using seven keywords: heartwood proportion, heartwood effect, physical properties, mechanical properties, wood dimensional stability, wood gluing, and wood preservation. By eliminating the irrelevant papers, 45 journal articles and non-articles were selected. The review shows that the proportion of heartwood has a positive correlation with wood density and dimensional stability. High wood density will have a positive correlation with the mechanical properties of wood. However, the dimensional stability is not only affected by the proportion of the heartwood but also the microfibril angle and the arrangement of the wood cells. Further, sapwood has a higher moisture content than heartwood. The high moisture content causes the wood drying process to take longer and require more energy. However, it should be noted that the heartwood in some Acacia species has a higher moisture content than that in the sapwood, which is commonly called wet heartwood. Therefore, a suitable treatment is needed to minimize the moisture content in the heartwood. In addition, heartwood is difficult to preserve because of the high extractive content in the lumen. The color of the wood is another important indicator to determine the quality of wood, especially the heartwood color, because it is related to the aesthetic value and durability of the wood. Meanwhile, a better understanding of the acid and alkaline properties of extractive substances is necessary to perfectly conduct the wood gluing process.
Fuel Properties of Slab Wastes from Sengon Sawmills: A Case Study in Sleman and Wonosobo Regencies
Authors: Sulistyo Joko , Sianturi Binsar Edward , Rustantoputro Raditya Ananta
Published: April 2023

Sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria (L.) Nielsen) is a fast-growing and versatile species that has been established in community forests. Many sawmills utilize sengon wood as a raw material which generates wastes in the form of sawdust and slab consisting of a mixture of bark and wood. Those wastes are widely used by communities and home industries as fuel. The objective of this study was to characterize the energy properties of slab wastes from sengon sawmills in Wonosobo dan Sleman Regencies. The results showed that the calorific value and fuelwood value index (FVI) ranges were 4,089 to 4,749 cal/g and 2.71 to 18.74, respectively. The values of density ranged from 0.23 to 0.94 g/cm3. The proximate analysis showed that the values of moisture and ash contents ranged from 13.90 to 20.03% and from 0.30 to 4.59%, respectively, whereas volatile matter and fixed carbon contents ranged from 75.84 to 88.94% and from 10.23 to 20.62%, respectively. In general, the slab samples from Wonosobo gave higher values in fixed carbon content and FVI but smaller values in density, moisture content, volatile matter content, and ash content than those of the samples in Sleman. The bark part showed higher amounts in density, moisture content, fixed carbon content, and ash content but lower in volatile matter content, calorific value, and FVI than the wood part. Based on the wood consumption, sawmill recovery, calorific value, and dry weight biomass value, the potential annual energy from slab wastes in Sleman and Wonosobo reached 1,374 × 1013 cal (equivalent to 1,525,222  L of kerosene) and 1.521 × 1014 cal (equivalent to 16,884,016 L of kerosene), respectively.

Tendo em vista a mudança trazida pela Lei 13.954/19 no Estatuto dos  Militares, na qual o tempo de serviço dos militares necessário para transferência à reserva remunerada passou a ser de 35 anos, faz-se importante o questionamento sobre o tema. Importante destacar que a regra anterior sobre o tema era de 30 anos e, por não haver mudança explícita na lei específica para os capelães militares, esta pesquisa torna-se válida. A metodologia adotada está focada em pesquisas bibliográficas e descritivas. Assim, os resultados trazem uma perspectiva de que a transferência dos referidos militares para a reserva remunerada deve seguir a regra geral, qual seja o tempo de serviço de 35 anos.

Abstract. Secondary ice production (SIP) has an essential role in cloud and precipitation microphysics. In recent years, substantial insights were gained into SIP by combining experimental, modeling, and observational approaches. Remote sensing instruments, and among them meteorological radars, offer the possibility to study clouds and precipitation in extended areas over long time periods, and are highly valuable to understand the spatio-temporal structure of microphysical processes. Multi-modal Doppler spectra measured by vertically-pointing radars reveal the coexistence, within a radar resolution volume, of hydrometeor populations with distinct properties; as such, they can provide decisive insight into precipitation microphysics. This paper leverages polarimetric radar Doppler spectra as a tool to study the microphysical processes that took place during a snowfall event on 27 January 2021, in the Swiss Jura Mountains, during the ICE GENESIS campaign. A multi-layered cloud system was present, with ice particles sedimenting through a supercooled liquid water (SLW) layer in a seeder-feeder configuration. Building on a Doppler peak detection algorithm, we implement a peak labeling procedure to identify the particle type(s) that may be present within a radar resolution volume. With this approach, we can visualize spatio-temporal features in the radar time series that point to the occurrence of distinct mechanisms at different stages of the event. By focusing on three 30-minute phases of the case study, and by using the detailed information contained in the Doppler spectra, together with dual-frequency radar measurements, aircraft in-situ images, and simulated profiles of atmospheric variables, we narrow down the possible processes which can be responsible for the observed signatures. Depending on the availability of SLW and the droplet sizes, on the temperature range, and on the interaction between the liquid and ice particles, various SIP processes are identified as plausible, with distinct fingerprints in the radar Doppler spectra. A simple modeling approach suggests that the ice crystal number concentrations likely exceed typical concentrations of ice nucleating particles by one to four orders of magnitude. While a robust proof of occurrence of a given SIP mechanism cannot be easily established, the multi-sensor data provides various independent elements each supporting the proposed interpretations.
Understanding snow saltation parameterizations: lessons from theory, experiments and numerical simulations
Authors: Melo Daniela Brito , Sigmund Armin , Lehning Michael
Published: April 2023

Abstract. Drifting and blowing snow are important features in polar and high mountain regions. They control the surface mass balance in windy conditions and influence sublimation of snow and ice surfaces. Despite their importance, model representations in weather and climate assessments have high uncertainties because the associated physical processes are complex and highly variable in space and time. This contribution investigates the saltation system, which is the lower boundary condition for drifting and blowing snow models. Using a combination of (previous) measurements and new physics-based modeling with Large Eddy Simulations (LES), we show that the prevailing parameterizations that describe the saltation system in atmospheric models are based on contradictory assumptions: while some scaling laws are typical of a saltation system dominated by aerodynamic entrainment, others represent a saltation system controlled by splash. We show that both regimes can exist, depending on the friction velocity. Contrary to sand saltation, aerodynamic entrainment of surface particles is not negligible. It is important at low wind speeds, leading to a saltation height and near surface particle velocity which increase with the friction velocity. In a splash dominated saltation regime at higher friction velocities, the saltation height and near surface particle velocity become invariant with the friction velocity and closer to what is observed with sand. These findings are accompanied by a detailed description of the theoretical, experimental and numerical arguments behind snow saltation parameterizations. This work offers a comprehensive understanding of the snow saltation system and its scaling laws, useful for both modelers and experimentalists.
Un patrimonio sociale. Cosa rimane delle ex colonie per l’infanzia in Italia
Authors: Nannini Sofia
Published: April 2023

A long series of ruins in the landscape or objects of transformations, the architectural heritage of former holiday camps for children in Italy is very heterogeneous in terms of locations, forms, construction techniques and original purposes. This contribution aims at retracing the current state of conservation of the most important holiday camps scattered along the Italian peninsula. By highlighting virtuous examples of reuse and critical states of abandonment, the essay aims at analyzing the importance of this architectural and social heritage, and the strategic role that former holiday camps can still play as public goods.

Published: April 2023

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the most recent agricultural technology. In agriculture, water is used to irrigate the plants so that they can flourish. Due to the scarcity of water in most parts of the world, the watering process is one of the most significant and crucial procedures. To address this issue, a smart irrigation system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) was developed utilizing AI technology, an Arduino Uno microcontroller, and sensors. The objective of this study is to develop a modified ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) AI algorithm for improved automated irrigation system decision control and to reduce the computing complexity of ANFIS architectural layers. It also seeks to develop an integrated system for monitoring and managing irrigation to increase agricultural output using MANFIS and the Internet of Things. Lastly, is to determine the difference of algorithmic complexity between the conventional ANFIS and Modified ANFIS. As a result, architectural layers were reduced into 3 layers, INPUT, PROCESS and OUTPUT. It also waters the plant automatically and sends signals regarding smart irrigation system information such as the tank's water level, the plant's soil moisture content, and the trigging factor, or the quantity of water to be released which enables the farmers to monitor and manage its irrigation system using the IoT. The simulations were carried out using MATLAB software, a fuzzy logic controller is used to control the whole system by providing its input, rules and output. To determine the computational complexity of each method, the ANFIS and modified ANFIS were examined with 100 % success rate.

Published: April 2023

Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to provide information that might help in planning cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging in pediatric patients. This study focused on the evaluation of indications for CBCT in pediatric patients in a Turkish dental school.

Method: Six-hundred-seven CBCT scans belonged to patients under the age of 16 were included in this study. The following data were recorded from an electronic patient database: age, gender, indication for referral (impacted teeth, supernumerary teeth, trauma, cysts/tumors, clefts, temporomandibular joint, and other reasons), dispersion of referrals by departments, external or internal referral.

Results: Mean age was 12.39 years [range: 4-16; 260 females (42.8%) and 347 males (57.2%)]. The most frequent and largest age group (54.2%) was 13- to 16-years old. The most frequent request was to assess an impacted tooth and its localization (38.2%). Examining the FOVs, the maxilla was the most frequently imaged area (27.2%). Four-hundred sixty-six patients (76.8%) had been referred from departments of the dental school while 141 (23.2%) patients were referred from external clinics. Re-exposure was required in 52 cases (8.6%) due to patient-motion artefacts.

Conclusion: The results of the present study can help dental professionals make the decision to refer for CBCT when extra three dimensional imaging is necessary for a pediatric patient. It might be proper that an oral and maxillofacial radiologist decides when CBCT is necessary and then supervises the CBCT-scanning protocol to minimize the radiation dose to pediatric patients.

Published: April 2023

Objective: It is known that the birth type has important effects on women's postpartum comfort level. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of birth types on postpartum comfort levels, and to determine whether any of these birth types is superior to the others.

Methods: The data for this descriptive study were obtained through a public hospital and a social media platform for 150 women (50 with vaginal birth, 50 with cesarean section, and 50 with vaginal birth after cesarean) between November 2017 and February 2018. The data were collected using a Personal Information Form and the Postpartum Comfort Scale. The data were analyzed via frequency, mean, standard deviation, chi square, Cronbach Alpha analysis, multivariate linear regression, and t test.

Results: The women with vaginal birth after cesarean had significantly higher mean scores of Postpartum Comfort Scale total and subscale compared to women with vaginal birth or cesarean section (p = 0.000). This study indicated that women with vaginal birth after cesarean had the highest postpartum comfort levels compared to vaginal birth or cesarean section.

Conclusion: It is thought that vaginal birth after cesarean should be supported by health care professionals because postpartum comfort is at the highest level for women who have had a vaginal delivery after cesarean section.

Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT

Objective: Although it is known that there are changes in the vascular purinergic system in diabetes, it is unknown whether P2X1-mediated vascular responses are affected. In this study, we aimed to investigate the vascular responses mediated by P2X1 receptor activation in streptozotocin-induced diabetes model.

Method: Animals were divided into two groups as diabetes and control. Diabetes was induced by 65 mg/kg single dose of streptozotocin. After 12 weeks, second branches of the mesenteric artery were isolated and placed into the wire myograph to evaluate the vascular responses to ATP and P2X1 receptor agonist. Vascular responses were also examined in the presence of endothelial nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase or K+ channel inhibitors, to determine the possible mechanism/s of relaxation responses.

Results: In diabetes group relaxation responses to ATP and P2X1 receptor agonist were lower compared to control group. Vascular relaxation responses to P2X1 receptor agonist were significantly decreased in both groups in the presence of endothelial nitric oxide synthase inhibitor. Cyclooxygenase inhibitor and K+ channels inhibitors significantly blocked vascular relaxation responses in diabetes group but not in control animals.

Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that vascular P2X1 receptor-mediated relaxation responses are decreased in diabetes in diabetes and the pathways mediating these responses were changed.
