Authors: R. A. Lutkovskyi
Published: October 2019

The aim — to improve the treatment results of umbilical hernias surgery with modified polypropylene mesh.Materials and methods. The surgical treatment results analysis of 106 patients with umbilical hernias (UH) has been performed. Patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the mesh type used during surgery. In 53 (50 %) patients of Group I the polypropylene mesh modified by antiseptic and by carbon nanotubes was used, in the 74 (50 %) patients of II group the classic polypropylene mesh was used.Results and discussion. Statistically significant results were obtained in patients of Group I compared to Group II: seroma was revealed in 7 (13.2 ± 1.4 %) patients from Group II compared to 1 (1.9 ± 0.6 %) in Group I (p < 0.05), the suppuration of the postoperative wound — in 3 (5.7 ± 0.6 %) vs 1 (1.9 ± 0.6 %) (p < 0.05), respectively. The terms of stay in group II on inpatient treatment were 12.3 ± 2.2 days, in group II — 7.5 ± 1.5 days. Ligature fistulas of the anterior abdominal wall were detected in 2 (4.0 ± 0.6 %) patients (р < 0.05), meshoma — in 1 (2.0 ± 0.3 %) patient of group II (p > 0.05) in 1 — 5 years. The chronic pain in the abdominal wall in 6 — 8 months after surgery was observed in 3 6.1 ± 0.6 % patients in group II and in 1 (2.0 ± 0.4 %) in group I (p > 0.05), recurrences of hernia were found in 3 (6.1 ± 0.6 %) patients vs 1 2.0 ± 0.3 % (p < 0.05), respectively.Conclusions. Surgical treatment of umbilical hernias with polypropylene mesh modified by polyhexamethyleneguanidine chloride antiseptic and by carbon nanotubes are more effective than the one with simple polypropylene mesh, evidenced by the reduced seroma frequency from 13.2 ± 1.4 % to 1.9 ± 0.6 % suppurations of postoperative wounds — from 5.7 ± 0.6 % to 1.9 ± 0.6 %, inflammatory infiltrates — from 5.7 ± 0.6 % to 1.9 ± 0.4 %, ligature fistulas of the anterior abdominal wall — from 4.0 ± 0.6 % to 0 %, meshoma — from 2.0 ± 0.3 % to 0 %, chronic postoperative pain — from 6.1 ± 0.6 % to 2.0 ± 0.4 %, recurrence of hernia — from 6.1 ± 0.6 % to 2.0 ± 0.3 %.

Published: October 2019

The aim — to determine sonographic criteria for the pathological changes formation in stenosing ligamentitis depending on the stage of the process.Materials and methods. An ultrasonography of the tendon‑ligament complex of the metacarpophalangeal joint was performed in 57 patients at different stages of the pathological process. Scanning was performed in the sagittal and frontal planes at rest and during movement in the interphalangeal joints. The annular ligament A1, the flexor tendon and the surrounding soft tissues (tendon sheath, volar plateau) was evaluated. The thickness of the annular ligament was measured over the upper part of the tendon (volar surface). The conditional norm was similar indicators of the contralateral limb in the absence of clinical manifestations of any pathology in this segment. The distribution of patients according to the degree of the pathological process was as follows: stage 1 — 4 (7.1 %), stage 2 — 24 (42.1 %), stage 3 — 29 (50.8 %).Results and discussion. At the first stage of the disease, the use of ultrasound can exclude the presence of other pathological conditions with similar clinical manifestations. The ratio of the thickness of the ligament A1 and flexor tendons is from 0.09 to 0.12. Ultrasonic signs of the second stage of stenosing ligamentitis are a thickening of the annular ligament and flexor tendon and thinning of the tendon in the critical zone with preserved tendon mobility during the performance of the functional test. The ratio of the thickness of the annular ligament A1 and the flexor tendon is from 0.21 to 0.35. The third stage of stenosing ligamentitis is characterized by a thickening of the annular ligament and flexor tendon , as well as a thinning of the tendon in the critical zone in the absence of tendon mobility during the performance of the functional test. The ratio of the thickness of the annular ligament A1 and the flexor tendon is from 0.39 to 0.67.Conclusions. Ultrasound study in patients with stenosing ligamentitis of the fingers along with a clinical study are the main methods of diagnosis and verification of the process stage. The study allows to assess changes in annular ligament A1 and flexor tendons both in the area of the ligament itself (thinning of the tendons, hourglass‑shaped deformation) and in adjacent areas (thickening of the tendons), objectively determine the parameters of the tendon‑ligament complex. The main criterion for establishing the stage of the process is the index of the ratio of the annular ligament A1 thickness and the tendons in the critical zone, which can be calculated by the proposed formula.

Published: October 2019

One of the main problems in the treatment of pancreatic necrosis continues to be the choice of the most rational surgical tactics. The wide use of minimally invasive technologies in the complex treatment of acute pancreatitis reduced mortality significantly, even with its infected forms. The effect on the severity of the patient’s condition and the course of acute pancreatitis of premorbid background does not cause discussion. Here, a special group of people of advanced and senile age, the severity of concomitant diseases of which is not inferior to the severity of the underlying pathology. A case of surgical treatment of acute infected pancreatic necrosis in an elderly patient is described. Just minimally invasive technologies were applied in the treatment regimen. The patient was hospitalized in the surgical department with complaints of severe pain in the upper parts of abdomen with radiation to the back, nausea, vomiting, general weakness and malaise for two days. After an appropriate clinical and instrumental examination, the diagnosis of acute pancreatic necrosis was established. The concomitant pathology was established too: hypertension III stage 2nd degree, ischemic heart disease: stable angina pectoris II class, diffuse cardiosclerosis, aortic atherosclerosis, heart failure IIB stage, atherosclerotic encephalopathy II stage with cerebrospinal venous distension, chronic bilateral pyelonephritis, fatty hepatosis, chronic gastroduodenitis, deforming gonarthrosis of the II degree. Considering age and comorbidity, conservative therapy was carried out for 4 hours. A decision was made to perform surgical intervention due to the lack of positive dynamics and the progression of acute pancreatic necrosis with enzymatic peritonitis clinical picture. The chosen intervention was minimally invasive, which influenced the success of the treatment. the use of minimally invasive technologies in the treatment of pancreatic necrosis in this age group is a promising direction.

The 'Noble false widow' spider Steatoda nobilis is an emerging public health and ecological threat.
Authors: Hambler Clive
Published: October 2019

Steatoda nobilis, the 'Noble false widow' spider, has undergone massive population growth in southern Britain and Ireland, at least since 1990. It is greatly under-recorded in Britain and possibly globally. Now often the dominant spider on and in buildings in the region, the species occurs on many items which increase a risk of bites to people - including household furniture, railings, handles, lighting and street furniture. There is a lack of awareness amongst the public, medics and arachnologists as to the likely bite rate and severity with this spider, and there is under-recording of bites. There is thus a possibility of bites being left without adequate rapid treatment and monitoring - with a low but non-trivial risk of necrosis or sepsis. A plausible incident of anaphylactic shock is identified, requiring professional confirmation and case study. Further study of bite significance is urgently required but a typically precautionary approach should be adopted in the interim. A lag of over a century between introduction and the species rapidly becoming common in Britain indicates the risk of complacency over invasive species. Local eradication will be very difficult, so education is required on identification and response to possible bites. The species may become a widespread public health concern and a global conservation problem - particularly on islands with endemic invertebrates. Arachnologists typically have a conflict of interest which may result in understatement of risks. Research priorities include: assays for venom cytotoxicity and microbial carriage; improved immunological and clinical surveillance for possible spider bites; and monitoring of the global distribution and ecological impacts. This paper aims to facilitate and stimulate inter-disciplinary knowledge exchange and gathering, to enable more appropriate and proportionate responses to bites, infestations and invasions.

Mislabelled: Montreal Investigation Results and How to Fix Canada's Seafood Fraud Problem
Authors: Oceana  , Thurston Sayara , Wilmot Lesley
Published: October 2019

Seafood fraud is a widespread global and Canadian problem. Over the last decade, numerous studies have exposed seafood fraud and mislabelling around the world. A 2016 review by Oceana of more than 200 studies from 55 countries found that one in five of more than 25,000 seafood samples was mislabelled. DNA testing conducted by Oceana Canada from 2017 to 2019 has revealed that an alarming 47 per cent of more than 470 seafood samples tested from food retailers and restaurants in six Canadian cities were mislabelled. The most recent round of testing conducted in Montreal in July 2019 showed that a staggering 61 per cent of samples were mislabelled. Oceana Canada’s national investigation into seafood fraud—the most comprehensive study of its kind conducted in Canada—found farmed fish served up as wild caught; cheaper species substituted for more expensive ones; fish banned in many countries because of health risks masquerading as another species; and exposed rampant problems with the current traceability and labelling standards for fish in Canada. Mislabelling can happen on this scale because the global seafood supply chain is obscure and increasingly complex. Once a fish has been caught, it can travel halfway around the world for processing, crossing many national borders before it ends up on our plate. Canadian labelling standards further complicate this issue: our labelling regulations – despite being amended in 2019 – are outdated and unnecessarily cumbersome. On top of this, Canada has a fragmented regulatory system regarding seafood traceability, with no single agency wholly responsible for addressing it. The federal government has a responsibility to combat this widespread problem. There is a solution: implementing boat-to-plate traceability and comprehensive labelling in Canadian seafood supply chains. Boat-to-plate traceability means that key information is paired with fish products from the point of harvest to the point of sale. By tracking fish products this way, we can significantly reduce instances of fraud and mislabelling, better understand where it happens, enhance confidence in our food system and help Canada’s seafood industry access global markets – many of which already demand stronger traceability. Boat-to-plate traceability works. The European Union implemented measures to track fish at every step from capture to consumption and fraud rates have declined significantly.12 The United States has put boat-to-bordertraceability in place for some at-risk species groups. It’s time for Canada to do more. Mounting evidence shows seafood fraud is an urgent, widespread issue across the country that needs attention from the federal government. Canadians deserve to know that all seafood sold in Canada is safe, honestly labelled and legally caught.
Is Implicit Level-2 Visual perspective taking embodied? Perceptual simulation of others’ perspectives is not impaired by motor restriction.
Authors: Ward Eleanor Katherine Alice , Bach Patric , McDonough Katrina L , Ganis Giorgio
Published: October 2019

Embodied accounts of visual perspective taking suggest that judgements from another person’s perspective are less effortful if one’s own body position aligns with that of the other person, indicating a causal role of posture in visual perspective taking. Using our adapted mental rotation paradigm, here we tested whether movement has a causal role in perspective taking, by restricting participants’ movement in half of the experimental trials. Here we show, using our previously validated task, that the perceptual representation of another’s visual perspective is not influenced by participants’ ability to move. These data therefore rule out active physical movement as a causal explanation of visual perspective taking and instead argue that postural readjustments when making judgements from another’s perspective are a bodily consequence of the mental transformations of a person’s actual to imagined position in space.

BACKGROUND: We examined changes in hepatitis B virus (HBV) viral loads (VLs) in pregnancy, their association with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), and the associated infant outcomes. METHODS: We prospectively followed 132 mothers positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and their 135 infants from 2011 to 2015 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Outcome measures included association between maternal HBeAg and high (>200,000 IU/mL) or low (≤200,000 IU/mL) HBV VL, changes in HBV VL through pregnancy, infant HBsAg status, and infant completion of the HBV vaccination series. RESULTS: Of the 91 participants with an available HBV VL, 13 (14.3%) had an HBV VL of more than 200,000 IU/mL. Of 59 participants with paired HBeAg and HBV VL in pregnancy, 6 had an HBV VL of more than 200,000 IU/mL; of interest, 2 of the 6 (33.3%) were HBeAg-negative. Thirty-eight participants had HBV VL results at both mid-trimester and delivery. For these 38 participants, Wilcoxon signed-ranks test for paired data found that an HBV VL remained stable ( p = .58). We observed no perinatal transmissions. However, 20.7% of infants did not have a documented complete HBV vaccination series, 20.0% did not have post-vaccination HBsAg testing completed, and 18% did not have anti-HBs titres measured by age 12 months. CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates that HBeAg and HBV VL are not reliably predictive of each other. This supports the improved predictive value of VL measurement in pregnancy to risk stratify pregnant patients to offer antiviral treatment when indicated and further minimize the risk of perinatal transmission.
Serum immunoglobulin A levels and alcohol-induced liver disease
Authors: Elias Evan D , Uhanova Julia , Minuk Gerald Y
Published: October 2019

Background: Recent data suggest intestinal immunity including immunoglobulin A (IgA) may contribute to the pathogenesis of alcohol-induced liver disease (ALD). Methods: We documented serum IgA levels in ALD patients and determined whether those with elevated levels of IgA (E-IgA) had similar, more, or less advanced disease and different rates of progression than those with normal levels of IgA (N-IgA). Standard liver function tests (bilirubin, international normalized ratio [INR], and albumin), model for end-stage liver disease (MELD), and Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) scores were used as indicators of disease severity. Results: From the study centre’s clinical database, we identified 175 adult patients with ALD, 107 (61%) with E-IgA and 68 (39%) with N-IgA. Gender distribution and mean age of the two cohorts were similar. E-IgA patients had biochemical evidence of more advanced liver disease (higher serum bilirubin and INR and lower albumin levels) than N-IgA patients ( ps < .05). E-IgA patients also had significantly higher median MELD and FIB-4 scores ( ps < .01). A higher percentage of E-IgA patients had FIB-4 values in keeping with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis (55% versus 28%, p = .02). After mean follow-up periods of approximately 4 years, liver biochemistry and MELD and FIB-4 scores changed to similar extents in the two cohorts. Conclusions: Serum IgA levels were increased in approximately 70% of ALD patients. Although these patients had biochemical and non-invasive indicators of more advanced disease, elevations in serum IgA levels do not predict disease progression; therefore, IgA is unlikely to be of importance in the pathogenesis of ALD.
Effect of nanostructured Al on microstructure, microhardness and sliding wear behavior of Al–xGnP composites by powder metallurgy (PM) route
Authors: Kumar Lailesh , Alam Syed N. , Sahoo Santosh K.
Published: October 2019

In the present work, Al-based metal matrix composites (MMCs) have been developed by the powder metallurgy (PM) route using exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (xGnP) as nanofillers and their microstructure, microhardness and sliding wear behaviour were investigated. The Al-based MMCs were developed by using nanostructured Al powder developed by mechanical milling for 25 h in a high energy planetary ball mill. The crystallite size and lattice strain of Al after 25 h of milling were found to be 32 nm and 0.383 %, respectively. Al-1, 2, 3 wt.% xGnP composites were developed by the PM route. A significant improvement in both the microhardness and wear resistance of the Al–xGnP up to addition of 3 wt.% of the nanofiller was observed. For Al-3 wt.% xGnP composite developed using as-milled nanostructured Al, a microhardness of ∼ 1 GPa could be achieved, which is ∼6 times higher than that of the pure sintered Al sample (∼ 169.7 MPa). Nanostructured Al also leads to enhancement of the wear behaviour as compared to as-received Al. The wear mechanism in the various composites was found to involve a combination of abrasion, ploughing, delamination, microcracks, deep grooves and pullout of nanofillers.

Published: October 2019

Field studies were conducted in 2016 and 2017 at two locations in North Carolina to evaluate common ragweed (Ambrosia artemiisifolia L.) (Lewiston-Woodville) and Palmer amaranth (Amanthus palmeri S. Wats) control (Rocky Mount), peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) yield, and estimated economic return when herbicides were applied postemergence (POST) at 2 or 6 weeks after planting (WAP); 2 and 4 WAP; 4 and 6 WAP; and 2, 4, and 6 WAP. During the following growing season, cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) was planted directly into the same plots to determine the impact of weed management during the previous season on weed density. In absence of herbicides, peanut yield was 880 and 1110 kg/ha at Lewiston-Woodville and Rocky Mount, respectively. When weed control depended on a single herbicide application, yield ranged from 1760 to 2660 kg/ha at Lewiston-Woodville, and 2080 to 2480 kg/ha at Rocky Mount. When herbicides were applied twice, peanut yield ranged from 2690 to 3280 kg/ha at Lewiston-Woodville and 3420 to 3840 kg/ha at Rocky Mount. The greatest yields were recorded when herbicides were applied two or three times. Applying herbicides increased the estimated economic return of peanut compared to the non-treated control (NTC). In cotton the following year, common ragweed populations at Lewiston-Woodville were greater following the NTC or a single herbicide application 2 WAP compared to more intensive herbicide programs. Palmer amaranth density at Rocky Mount the following year in cotton was not affected by weed management the previous year in peanut. These results illustrate the relative importance of timing and duration of weed management for peanut and how they influence weed emergence in the following cotton rotational crop.

Background

Violence against women is a global phenomenon experienced in the private and public areas of life. The aim of this study was to investigating the degree of violence and identifying the relevant factors for recognition, prevention and control of this phenomenon is essential. This study was conducted to determine the degree of domestic violence and its related factors in married women in Sabzevar in 2018.

Methods In this descriptive-analytical study; 360 married women in Sabzevar were selected by cluster sampling method (10 × 40) and examined. A questionnaire was used to collect data,Its validity was determined by the panel of experts and its reliability was determined by Cronbach's alpha(0.65-0.83)and self-report completed for data analysis, descriptive tests and regression-based path analysis were used.

Results According to the results, the average rate of violence against women was reported by  85.40 ± 39.55 out of a total of 290 grades. Social factors (β = 0.072), family factors (β = 0.075), and related factors of couples (β = 0.640) which explained 39% of total variance of violence. Among these factors, the effect of factors related to couples was more than other factors. Violence rate against women includes legal violence (19%), verbal violence (18%) and emotional violence (15%) were the most significant type of violence in the community.

Conclusion The degree of violence in the investigated society was significant. Due to its consequences, the degree of violence in the population should be reduced. Considering the most important factors affecting the occurrence of violence related to couples, such as the lack of training of couples and the lack of ability of couples to control anger and some of the strategies of women to deal with violence. Therefore, it is necessary for the relevant authorities to intervene in empowering couples to deal with this problems. The amount of referral to the counselor for solving very few issues should be increased by taking appropriate measures from the relevant authorities. Considering couples' suggestions such as reducing unemployment and economic problems, and also the government can help reduce the risk of violence between couples.

Conventional diagnostic test have limitations to deferential diagnosis in clinical suspicion ofbacterial infection cases, that in some cases lead to inappropriate antibiotic therapy and increases antibiotic resistance. A new diagnostic insight is procalcitonin (PCT) test to improve diagnosis of bacterial infections and to guide antibiotic therapy. Serum PCT levels are of useful test as a biomarker in patients with bacterial infections for several reasons. Initial rise of PCT levels due to bacterial infection, subsequent sequential PCT levels can be used to assess the effectiveness and duration of antibiotic therapy. Based on clinical researches results, in bacterial infections, promising good results obtained when use of PCT used as differential diagnostic test. But further intervention studies are needed before use of PCT in clinical routine tests. The goal of this review is to study the PCT reliability as infections diagnostic biomarker.

O prólogo de A condição humana e a pergunta de Arendt: “o que estamos fazendo”?
Authors: Veiga Itamar Soares
Published: October 2019

este artigo aborda algumas passagens do prólogo de A condição humana de Hannah Arendt e destaca algumas projeções sobre o futuro. O propósito da investigação é acompanhar a pergunta da autora sobre o que “estamos fazendo”? Este acompanhamento assinala que as realizações científicas daquela época, em meados do século XX, circunscreveram o contexto de fundo da autora. Mas, passados mais de meio século, esta pergunta feita por Arendt motivada pelas realizações científicas, deve ser recolocada em um contexto mais atualizado. O artigo se dedica a esta atualização, para tanto aprofunda as principais preocupações de Arendt com o futuro. A resposta encontrada após o desenvolvimento do texto em duas partes, ainda com o foco na pergunta sobre “o que estamos fazendo?”, reflete as dinâmicas tecnológicas e sociais dos anos mais recentes. De forma mais precisa, a resposta assinala uma preocupante ligação entre a geração de um artificialismo e a “objetividade do mundo”.
Amyloid-β-Dependent Inactivation of the Mitochondrial Electron Transport Chain at Low Transmembrane Potential: An Ameliorating Process in Hypoxia-Associated Neurodegenerative Disease?
Authors: Pepperberg David R.
Published: October 2019

Cerebral hypoperfusion-induced hypoxia, a condition that impairs oxygen utilization and thus ATP production by mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (oxphos), is thought to contribute to neural degeneration in Alzheimer’s disease. However, hypoxia upregulates the generation of amyloid-β (Aβ), a group of peptides known to impair/inhibit the electron transport chain (ETC) of reactions that support oxphos in the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM). This is a hypothesis paper that reconciles the hypoxia-induced upregulation of Aβ with Aβ’s ETC-inhibiting action and, specifically, posits an oxphos-enhancing effect of this inhibition under conditions of newly developing or otherwise mild hypoxia. This effect is typically transient; that is, under conditions of prolonged or severe hypoxia, the oxphos-enhancing activity is overwhelmed by Aβ’s well-known toxic actions on mitochondria and other cellular components. The hypothesis is motivated by evidence that the IMM transmembrane potential Ψm, an important determinant of ETC activity, exhibits heterogeneity, i.e., a range of values, among a given local population of mitochondria. It specifically proposes that during oxygen limitation, Aβ selectively inactivates ETC complexes in mitochondria that exhibit relatively low absolute values of Ψm, thereby suppressing oxygen binding and consumption by complex IV of the ETC in these mitochondria. This effect of Aβ on low- Ψm mitochondria is hypothesized to spare hypoxia-limited oxygen for oxphos-enabling utilization by the ETC of the remaining active, higher- Ψm local mitochondria, and thereby to increase overall ATP generated collectively by the local mitochondrial population, i.e., to ameliorate hypoxia-induced oxphos reduction. The protective action of Aβ hypothesized here may slow the early development of hypoxia-associated cellular deterioration/loss in Alzheimer’s disease and perhaps other neurodegenerative diseases.

Sympathetic inrush current phenomenon occurs when a transformer is switched on in a power network containing other transformers that are already energized. This interaction significantly changes duration and magnitude of transient magnetizing currents in the transformers involved and may lead to misoperation of these equipment. Therefore, in this paper it is presented the results of electromagnetic analysis due to sympathetic inrush and inrush current phenomenon among single-phase 50 MVA transformers in a power substation in the northern region of Brazil. For this purpose, the nine single-phase transformers installed at SE Guamá forming three three-phase banks, were modeled in the ATP software to obtain the energization behavior. In this paper the electromagnetic analyzes are performed in steady state, so only the first peak is used. In this way, results of the electromagnetic behavior of transformers are presented and compared sympathetic inrush with inrush current.

Published: October 2019

Composite materials have diverse engineering applications including the automotive, energy and aerospace industries. In manufacturing aircraft structures, the material is expected to endure atmospheric discharges. The present paper aims to model some of the effects of lightning strikes on a composite materials modeled through numerical simulation. The simulation is based on the finite-difference time-domain method which allows analysis the electromagnetic and thermal effects related to the problem. Aerospace standards are taken into account for modeling a lightning strike on a composite plate. The thermal distribution is evaluated based on results obtained from an electromagnetic simulation of the lightning strike effect. Since multiphysics problems are complex, the hypotheses adopted to obtain the results are also discussed. Results show the current density distribution on a carbon fiber reinforced plastic plate varying with the anisotropy characteristics of the material. From the thermal simulation it is shown that the lightning strike can cause a rise in the composite temperature over 900 °C with only 1 μs of interaction with the material.
ON REFERRING TO CHRISTIANITY SANCTUARIES
IN TABLE MOUNTAIN (MAT-LOM)
Authors: Sampiev Israpil M.
Published: October 2019

The article aims to verify some of the assertions made about attributing sanctuaries of Mount Stolovaya (Myat-Loam) in Ingushetia to Christianity. The principal tasks of the study are to conduct critical analysis of some of the statements of pre-revolutionary and soviet authors, related to those shrines; to check the conformity of the said shrines to the Christian places of worship; to compare rituals of the sanctuaries with the Christian ones.Pre-revolutionary imperial and soviet authors associate sanctuaries of Mount Stolovaya in the mountainous regions of Ingushetia (Myatzetli, Myattar-Dyala, Susol-Dyala) to Christianity, describing them as churches or chapels. For this purpose, names of the shrines were often distorted and then attributed to Christian saints. Those statements, without any scientific reasoning, were most likely aimed to legitimize the Russian Empire on the Caucasus’ territory, as a former Christian space. However, the study analysis of the sanctuaries, carried out by the leading experts in places of worship (architect A. Goldstein, archeologist M.B Muzhukhoev, ethnologists V. N. Basilov, V.P. Kobychev et al.) reveals that they do not comply with the established criteria of Christian monuments; rituals of praying at the sanctuaries also show no conformity to Christianity (it was forbidden for anyone to be inside the Ingush shrines except the priest; the absence of altar; animal sacrifice; feasts and dances, etc.).The analysis of architectural, ritual and ethnographic aspects of the sanctuaries on Mount Stolovaya provides the conclusion that Myatsil, Myattar-Dyala, Susol-Dyala are pagan shrines, associated with crypts as attributes of the cult of ancestor veneration. Basing on the analysis, it has been established that Myatseli and other distinctive Ingush sanctuaries, located in Kistin community of Ingushetia, were never Christian churches or chapels; attempts at associating Christian names of St. Mary or St. Matthew to the name of Myatseli and the sacred Ingush mountain Myat-Loam are unfounded. The results of the study refute the attempts of false attribution of Ingush national places of worship to Christianity and carry not only gnoseological, but also practical relevance.
