Authors: Castillo Jurado Mayra
Published: December 2024

El artículo destaca la estrecha relación entre obesidad y osteoartritis (OA) de rodilla, subrayando su impacto en el diagnóstico, evolución y tratamiento de la enfermedad. La obesidad aumenta la carga mecánica en las articulaciones, genera inflamación y eleva el riesgo de comorbilidades como diabetes e hipertensión. Además, el tejido adiposo visceral produce mediadores solubles que intensifican el dolor articular.
Se resalta que no todas las personas obesas presentan las mismas consecuencias funcionales, y condiciones como la obesidad sarcopénica empeoran el pronóstico funcional a largo plazo. Cada kilogramo de exceso de peso incrementa significativamente el riesgo de OA y la presión articular, con un aumento del riesgo de gonartrosis en un 14% por cada kilogramo adicional.
El tratamiento integral debe incluir actividad física (ejercicios de fortalecimiento y resistencia), nutrición adecuada y medicamentos como semaglutida, los cuales han demostrado beneficios en la pérdida de peso, disminución del dolor y mejora de la movilidad. También se sugiere que perder peso antes de procedimientos quirúrgicos, como el reemplazo de cadera, reduce complicaciones.
En conclusión, abordar la obesidad en pacientes con OA de rodilla puede aliviar el dolor, mejorar la funcionalidad y reducir el uso prolongado de medicamentos, promoviendo un enfoque multidisciplinario centrado en el bienestar del paciente.

Authors: Wang Menglu , Li Yulin , Zhao Songwei
Published: December 2024

The extensive application of biomaterials and nanotechnology in biomedical technology can enhance the drug-carrying performance and targeted therapeutic ability of drug nanoparticles. In the article, biomimetic nanoparticles of wild baicalin and adriamycin were prepared based on conventional means, and the drug release performance of SCU/DOX was analysed using drug release kinetics and the inhibitory effect of SCU/DOX nanoparticles on tumour cells. The nanoparticles were produced through nanotechnology after the main experimental scheme was prepared for the preparation of the basic medicine. At the same time, the study combines the biological electrical signal to obtain the value of the relevant measurement index. When the SCU/DOX nanodrug concentration was elevated from 10 μM to 16010 μM, the viability of mouse tumour cells was reduced from 82.54% to about 47.69%. This shows that nanoparticles can effectively deliver drugs. After the use of SCU drug alone and SCU/DOX nanoparticles, the IC50 values of both were 59.42 μM and 8.75 μM, respectively, with a reversal of resistance multiplier of 6.79-fold. Tumour cell treatment with SCU/DOX nanoparticles reduced the tumour volume from 15.1*102mm3 to 6.05*102mm3 and tumour weight by 64.14% in mice. The cumulative drug release from SCU/DOX nanoparticles was 11.18% at 2h, and higher than that of the esterase-free condition after 20h (17.61%). The data of the cumulative release of the drug show that the release of biomimetic nanoparticles can actually target the target. The unique quality of nanomaterials can allow drugs to release drugs in the set target environment. On the basis of this study, if clinical trials can also achieve good results, they are expected to be applied in practice. The preparation of baicalin and adriamycin mimetic nanoparticles based on the drug delivery system can enhance the drug-carrying property and target delivery effect of the drug, which can provide a reliable technical support to enhance the therapeutic effect of the disease.

Authors: Nainggolan Bonifasius MH , . Surachman , Aisjah Siti , . Sumiati
Published: December 2024

Conflict between ownership and management constitutes a significant concern within organizational dynamics. Nevertheless, the alignment of the interests between owners and management can be advanced by promoting managerial ownership. Prior research delving into the role of managerial ownership as an intermediary variable linking firm size and sales growth, with capital structure remains rather limited, particularly in the context of non-financial companies listed on the IDX. This study investigates the correlations between firm size and sales growth with capital structure, mediated by managerial ownership. This investigation focuses on non-financial entities that are not state-owned enterprises and are listed on the IDX. Hypothesis testing in this study was conducted using path analysis. Path analysis is calculated by decomposing the causal influence model between direct and indirect variables. The findings of this study add to a more profound understanding on how firm size, when mediated by managerial ownership, impacts the capital structure, as indicated by the LTDR proxy. This underscores that managerial ownership, as a means of mitigating agency conflicts, can exert an influence on management's decision-making concerning the proportion of long-term debt within the capital structure. It is worth noting that Managerial ownership does not serve as a substantial mediator in the influence of sales growth on the capital structure.

Published: December 2024

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations is considered one of the most successful regional cooperations and has played a remarkable role in regional and potentially global order through principles of consensus, non-interference, and peaceful resolution of conflicts, providing a platform for dialogue both among member states and external partners. Crucial to its architecture is ASEAN centrality, the principle that directs ASEAN to be at the center of every mechanism and discussion concerning political, security, and economic issues, among others. Over the years, however, regional and global developments have placed some weight on the region, leaving the credibility of ASEAN’s centrality in question. For instance, the global order, once thought to be aligned with a unipolar authority, the United States, is increasingly exhibiting the characteristics of a multipolar world, with the emergence of stronger and more independent economies. To understand how the increasing global multipolarity influences ASEAN, this paper investigates how the shifting global geopolitical landscape, characterized by power rivalries and economic interdependence, impacts ASEAN in its central role in regional affairs. The study highlights the varied short-term geopolitical influences that diminish over time, emphasizing the need for ASEAN and the Philippines to strengthen regional integration, diversify partnerships, and balance external relations to maintain and sustain resilience and leadership in the region.

Published: December 2024

Tornadoes rank among the most damaging weather events in the US. They put lives at risk, wreck infrastructure, and upset economic systems. This study examines data from 1950 to 2022 using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to uncover tornado hotspots, pinpoint high-risk areas, and grasp why some regions face bigger threats. States such as Texas, Alabama, and Oklahoma proved to be risk zones due to high tornado activity, which leads to major damage, deaths, and money losses. Texas tops the list as the state tornadoes hit hardest, with the most recorded events and severe economic blows. Season patterns show tornadoes strike most in late spring and early summer creating a pressing need to get ready during these months. The research also sheds light on the toll on key infrastructure, such as U.S. interstate highways. These results offer key insights to steer disaster management and mitigate risks for the most exposed areas.
