Authors: Kumarasamy Kunaraj , Sebastian Maria Wenisch , Sakkariyas Robert Rajkumar , Dhandapani Vaithiyanathan
Published: July 2021

Estimating our sleep quality and state is essential to identify disorders or chronic ailments related to sleep patterns. The authors propose certain methods using machine learning and deep learning algorithms to assess the quality of sleep. The signals and hence the data taken from the wrist actigraphy and data accumulated through sleep research on postmenopausal women are used in this work. This data is preprocessed and used to score the sleep-wake pattern objectively and subjectively. With the availability of multi-ethnic data, both machine learning and deep learning models are created by rigorous training to avoid over-fitting and under-fitting. As the users of wearable active devices are increasing and proven to be a commercially successful model, this work is more relevant to multiple groups across ages.
A Model for Reducing the Cost of Refueling in a Flight Route Problem With Discounted Fuel Prices
Authors: Hassan Said Ali , Khodeir Miral Hossam
Published: July 2021

Acquiring and purchasing fuel represents a significant part of operating and managing expenses for an airline, so commercial airline companies are implementing strategies for minimizing costs of fuel for their flight routes. A nonlinear mathematical model for the airline refueling problem is presented to minimize the total cost in a flight route problem. The model is enhanced to include possible discounts in fuel prices, which are performed by adding dummy variables and some restrictive constraints, or by fitting a suitable function that relates prices to the purchased amounts. The obtained fuel plan explains exactly the amounts of fuel to be purchased from each airport in the route. A case study is introduced for a certain flight rotation in a domestic US air aviation company. The mathematical model including stepped discounted fuel prices is formulated, and the results show that introducing the discounted fuel prices dramatically change the strategy of fuel purchase amounts in the aircraft flight problem.
Human Factors Affecting Railway Safety
Authors: Hadj-Mabrouk Habib
Published: July 2021

While the consideration of human factors in the railway feedback of experience (REX) process is becoming a new priority, the procedures are far from systematic, and the methodologies remain uncertain. Inspired in particular by the works of Reason and Rasmussen and supported by application examples from the field of railway safety, the human error analysis approach proposed to improve the level of safety of rail transport systems involves three complementary levels. Before the accident, the first level of “contextual analysis” makes it possible to study the various factors favouring the production of the human error at the origin of the accident. During the accident and in the face of a critical situation, the second level of “cognitive analysis” focuses on finding and examining the human errors involved in the human cognitive process. Finally, after the accident, the last level of “behavioural analysis” focuses on the evaluation of the consequences and damage caused to humans, to the system, and to their environment.

An Optimal Customized Pricing Strategy for Truckload Transportation
Authors: Budak Ayşenur , Ustundag Alp , Güloğlu Bülent
Published: July 2021

The impacts of optimal pricing are rarely explored when it comes to truckload transportation. In this study, the question of what price should be given to which customer and for what service characteristics are investigated for truckload transportation. Accordingly, customers' attitudes and responses to the bid price must be modeled, and their flexibility in regards to the price must be analyzed. Bid response function is developed, and logit model is considered. The bid response function is examined from two different perspectives: the first one is a general model by which all data is used, and the second one is the logit model by using partitioned data obtained by clustering customers. Logit model sensitivity analysis is applied. After developing bid response functions, non-linear optimization model is developed to determine the bid price. The developed model will contribute to the logistics companies' profit margins in the long term.
CSR and Greenwashing in Finland
Authors: Rusko Rauno
Published: July 2021

Due to the general tendency to express environmental protection, environmentalism, and the actions to slow down the greenhouse effect in the world, the enterprises have noticed the importance of environmental values in their public announcements, documents, and homepages. In other words, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a very important and topical theme of the firms. The popularity of environmentalism tempts the firms to follow the direction of public opinion even though the actual environmental activities might be minor or even absent. This kind of quasi-environmentalism is called as greenwashing. This chapter focuses on greenwashing and CSR in the Finnish context via public discussions about greenwashing. This chapter is emphasizing the understandings and the sense-makings in the concepts of greenwashing and CSR and their numerous connotations basing on the results of the textual analysis. The outcomes are completed and compared with the international contexts, and, therefore, they are also internationally robust.
Role of MOOCs for Technology and Business Education
Authors: Fatima Saneem
Published: July 2021

Education with the help of technology is deliberated as an encouraging development and means of transforming the teaching-learning model. The significant changes in use of the technology in online education has seen the emergence of the concept of massive open online courses (MOOCs). India has the world's largest youth population of about 500 million in the age bracket of 5-24 years. According to the statistics offered by Deloitte, 69% of jobs will be impacted by automation and analytical skills. Critical thinking and emotional intelligence will have a higher demand as against reading and writing by 2022. The World Economic Forum's ‘Future of Jobs 2018' report states that more than one-half of India's workforce will have to be reskilled by 2022. There is a need to make the Indian educational system globally more relevant and competitive. In this context, this chapter attempts to bring out the various aspects related to the challenges and opportunities through usage of MOOCs in technology and business education, especially in the context of the new education policy of the Government of India in 2020.

The Quality of SARS-CoV-2–Specific T Cell Functions Differs in Patients with Mild/Moderate versus Severe Disease, and T Cells Expressing Coinhibitory Receptors Are Highly Activated
Authors: Shahbaz Shima , Xu Lai , Sligl Wendy , Osman Mohammed , Bozorgmehr Najmeh , Mashhouri Siavash , Redmond Desiree , Perez Rosero Eliana , Walker John , Elahi Shokrollah
Published: July 2021

Understanding the function of SARS-CoV-2 Ag-specific T cells is crucial for the monitoring of antiviral immunity and vaccine design. Currently, both impaired and robust T cell immunity is described in COVID-19 patients. In this study, we explored and compared the effector functions of SARS-CoV-2–reactive T cells expressing coinhibitory receptors and examine the immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 S, M, and N peptide pools in regard to specific effector T cell responses, Th1/Th2/Th17, in COVID-19 patients. Analyzing a cohort of 108 COVID-19 patients with mild, moderate, and severe disease, we observed that coinhibitory receptors (e.g., PD-1, CTLA-4, TIM-3, VISTA, CD39, CD160, 2B4, TIGIT, Gal-9, and NKG2A) were upregulated on both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Importantly, the expression of coinhibitory receptors on T cells recognizing SARS-CoV-2 peptide pools (M/N/S) was associated with increased frequencies of cytokine-producing T cells. Thus, our data refute the concept of pathological T cell exhaustion in COVID-19 patients. Despite interindividual variations in the T cell response to viral peptide pools, a Th2 phenotype was associated with asymptomatic and milder disease, whereas a robust Th17 was associated with severe disease, which may potentiate the hyperinflammatory response in patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. Our data demonstrate that T cells may either play a protective or detrimental role in COVID-19 patients. This finding could have important implications for immune correlates of protection, diagnostic, and prophylaxis with respect to COVID-19 management.

Authors: Sharma Rishabh , Bansal Parveen , Chhabra Manik , Bansal Cherry , Arora Malika
Published: July 2021

Introduction:

The spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a new public health concern that has shaken the whole world and possesses a challenge to the mental health of the public. This study aimed to investigate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the perceived stress, anxiety level, and mental health of medical students as well as to explore the knowledge of COVID-19 among Indian medical students.

Methods:

A web-based cross-sectional survey was conducted among the undergraduate medical interns and postgraduate medical residents using the online data collection form. The form consisted of five domains (sociodemographic details, knowledge assessment, perceived stress assessment, generalized anxiety disorder-7 assessment, and assessment of the perceived level of change in social habits and personal hygiene related to COVID-19 outbreak). The statistical analysis of the responses was carried out by the Mann–Whitney U-test and Kruskal–Wallis tests.

Results:

Two hundred participants filled the distributed survey, 61% (n = 122) were males. The mean knowledge score of 200 participants was 4.27 ± 1.45. The participant had a mean perceived stress score of 18.35 ± 6.28, and the females had a significantly higher perceived stress level than the male (P = 0.037). About 10% (n = 20) of the participants reported high perceived stress level (27–40), and moderate stress (score 14–26) was reported in 69% (n = 138) of the participants. However, only 21% (n = 42) of the participants reported low stress (0–13). While only moderate anxiety (score 10–14) was reported in 16% (n = 32) of the participant and 4% (n = 8) of the participants reported severe anxiety (score >14).

Conclusion:

There is an increased stress and anxiety in Indian medical students due to overburdened responsibilities and lack of adequate resources.

Clinical features and outcomes of critically ill patients with Elizabethkingia meningoseptica: an emerging pathogen
Authors: Umair Abdullah , Nasir Nosheen
Published: July 2021

Background: Elizabethkingia meningoseptica, formerly known as Chryseobacterium meningosepticum, is a non-motile, non-fastidious, catalase and oxidase-positive, aerobic, glucosenon- fermentative, Gram-negative bacillus that was first defined by Elizabeth O. King in 1959. It has emerged as an opportunistic pathogen that has infected patients in extreme age groups and immunocompromised individuals, especially in intensive care settings. There has been an increased interest in this pathogen due to its increasing occurrence around the world, ubiquitous nature, and inherent capacity for antimicrobial resistance.Methods: We describe an observational study at a tertiary care center in Karachi, Pakistan, based on patients admitted between January 2013 and December 2018, with E. meningoseptica infections. All patients were confirmed to have a positive clinical culture specimen for E. meningoseptica along with symptoms and signs consistent with infection. Data were collected on a structured proforma from the Hospital Information Management Systems.Results: Sixteen patients with E. meningoseptica that met the criteria for infection were identified, 13 of whom required admission. Eight patients had bacteremia in addition to confirmed E. meningoseptica infection. Two of the isolates were multi-drug resistant and only sensitive to minocycline. Nine out of 13 patients that were admitted required intubation and mechanical ventilation. The median length of hospital stay was 13 days, and five out of the 13 patients died during the hospital stay.Conclusion: This is the largest case series to date reporting E. meningoseptica infections and highlights the importance of this organism as an emerging nosocomial pathogen.

Authors: Campos Lucia Maria de Arruda , Carvalho Luciana Martins de , Brufatto Matheus Zanata
Published: July 2021

Resumo: Introdução: o lúpus eritematoso sistêmico juvenil (LESJ), apesar de raro, é mais grave em relação aos pacientes adultos, com maior frequência de acometimento renal e consequentemente maior impacto na morbimortalidade da doença. Fazem parte dos objetivos do tratamento da nefrite lúpica (NL): preservação da função renal e prevenção de reativações, evitando assim o dano cumulativo e aumentando a sobrevida. Objetivos: apresentar, discutir e abordar aspectos atuais sobre a terapêutica da NL. Auxiliar de forma prática a escolha das terapias para indução, manutenção e casos refratários, além de instituir terapia adjuvante, visando ao controle da doença renal o mais precocemente possível. Métodos: os autores realizaram uma revisão narrativa da literatura sobre NL, selecionando os principais tópicos sobre o manejo atual medicamentoso e não medicamentoso. Resultados: novos alvos terapêuticos têm sido propostos. Além do tratamento padrão das classes histológicas, terapias multialvo e associações com imunobiológicos foram apresentadas, principalmente para casos refratários. Outras modalidades terapêuticas medicamentosas e não medicamentosas, como reforço à adesão do tratamento, medidas de nefroproteção, fotoproteção, hábitos de vida saudável e profilaxia óssea osteoporótica, foram abordadas. Na suspeita de NL, diagnósticos diferenciais de proteinúria devem ser considerados. Conclusão: apesar da introdução de drogas efetivas e melhora prognóstica nas últimas décadas, a progressão da doença renal ainda é preocupante. Há que se considerar que as novas terapias, apesar de promissoras, precisam de estudos com condução específica para populações pediátricas. É preciso individualizar cada caso e conhecer os fatores prognósticos associados, visando a instituir o melhor tratamento e a obtenção dos melhores desfechos renais.

Published: July 2021

O transtorno depressivo maior (TDM) é uma doença neuropsiquiátrica crônica, altamente prevalente, tida como a principal causa de incapacidade funcional no mundo (LACERDA ALT, 2020; HASHIMOTO K, 2020). Seus sintomas envolvem sensações persistentes de tristeza, desinteresse, raiva e desânimo (LENT JK, et al., 2019). A fisiopatologia da doença é heterogênea, sendo a hipótese mais aceita a das monoaminas, a qual propõe que a neurotransmissão e cognição no TDM seriam prejudicadas devido à menor disponibilidade de neurotransmissores monoaminérgicos no cérebro (LACERDA ALT, 2020).

Published: July 2021

Introduction: Artificial intelligence, which is a set of algorithms, currently does an impressive amount of work related to its analysis and processing. The use of the computing power of a large number of simple processors, as well as the compilation of a mathematical model for their joint operation based on the principle
of organizing neural networks of cells of living organisms, constitutes an artificial neural network. Such a system is not programmed at the development stage into a final consumer product (as is usually the case, for example, with the software of a device), but «teaches» throughout its entire operation. «Teaching» is about finding the percentage relationship between neurons and input data, which ultimately leads to the identification of complex relationships between the provided data. These properties of training neural networks are already helping doctors in their work, making it easier and providing more readable data. Purpose of the study: to update information about the use of modern technologies for teaching neural networks in the healthcare sector. Tasks: to consider the terminology and designate technologies in Data Science used in healthcare; to find on peer-reviewed resources information about modern approaches to the analysis of accumulated information and present it in a public language; to demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of using deep teaching of neural networks; detail the «future» of deep teaching of neural networks in healthcare. Results: a complex system of interconnection between neurons of a neural network with a correctly written program code, together with relevant and verified information, makes it possible to accurately find correlations of many statistical indicators in the field of healthcare. This fact will ultimately lead to improved medical care. A neural network can handle large amounts of information much faster and more accurately, which is a huge step towards personalized medicine. This became possible due to the accumulation of a sufficient amount of data in digital form, as well as the achievement of sufficient technical progress in the field of deep teaching of neural networks.

Introduction. The article presents an analysis of the use of non-invasive prenatal testing for chromosomal abnormalities in the fetal extracellular DNA in the blood of pregnant women in Moscow. Materials and methods. When processing materials and research results, authors considered all available clinical data: findings of an ultrasound examination, medical history and results of additional laboratory tests. Results. The article presents results of invasive prenatal diagnostics and pregnancy outcomes in patients with high NIPT risks. Discussion. Authors analyzed diagnostic capabilities of NIPT, its limitations, false-positive and false- negative results, and described 3 cases of prenatal diagnosis of fetal aneuploidy identified in patients who are in the «gray zone» of risk based on the results of combined screening of the first trimester of pregnancy. Conclusion. Prenatal diagnosis of the described aneuploidy is difficult due to individual risk of developing chromosomal abnormalities of the fetus based on the results of combined first-trimester screening in the range of 1:101-1: 2500 and lack of indications for invasive prenatal diagnostics.

Authors: Ревич Б.А. , Шапошников Д.А.
Published: July 2021

Взвешенные вещества в воздухе образовывают кластеры с частицами коронавируса и распространяются на расстояния до 10 м от источника инфекции. Важность учета загрязнения воздуха при моделировании распространения пандемии COVID-19 вызвана сходством механизмов влияния коронавируса и респирабельной фракции взвешенных веществ. В Европе до 6,6% смертей и в Китае до 11% смертей от COVID-19 обусловлены загрязнением атмосферного воздуха. Этот фактор в эпидемиологических моделях необходимо рассматривать наряду с другими причинами развития короновирусной инфекции. В городах России повышенное загрязнение атмосферного воздуха может быть одним из факторов риска развития эпидемии.

Authors: Chakravarty Prabir
Published: July 2021

COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus, is a contagious disease which has spread across the entire world within one year and four months of its first appearance in Wuhan, China. Since then new mutated strains of SARS-CoV-2 have been detected in most of the countries including India; the first variant being detected in the United Kingdom (B 7.1.1). We had reported earlier that some regions of Indian Territory had minimal spread of COVID-19 in the population. Among them, one exception was territory of Lakshadweep which did not have even a single case of COVID-19 until December, 2020. However, the first case of COVID-19 emerged in Lakshadweep in January, 2021. The significance of spread of COVID-19 in the population which were previously immunized with MMR (Mumps Measles Rubella) vaccine with plausible role of MMR vaccination in management of COVID-19 has been evaluated in this article.
Pedagogia de Freire em Diálogo com as Epistemologias do Sul: uma Nova Educação é Possível?
Authors: Mota Guadalupe Corrêa
Published: July 2021

Este artigo em forma de ensaio tem como objeto a Pedagogia Crítico-Humanista de Paulo Freire e como objetivo geral problematizar as possibilidades e limites dessa práxis no contexto da sociedade neoliberal à luz das Epistemologias do Sul,  de Boaventura de Sousa Santos. Procura-se responder à seguinte questão: quais as possibilidades e contextos necessários à prática de uma pedagogia humanista neste início de século? Para responder ao objetivo, lançando-se mão de autores como Cambi, Saviani, Scocuglia, Dardot/Laval, Franco, Charlot, Pleger, apresenta-se um panorama das ideias antropológicas que levaram ao desenvolvimento do conceito de “humanismo” e de “pessoa”; aponta-se elementos que configuram a ontologia freireana e que justificam a tarefa humanizadora. Ao responder à questão proposta, reafirma-se a necessidade de alterações estruturais que possibilitem um novo pacto educativo, em que seja consensuado epistemologias revolucionárias que consignem à educação seu caráter público, laico, para todos, e não como produto da lógica mercantilista neoliberal.

RESUMO

O ano de 2020 ficará na história devido a pandemia causada pelo novo coronavírus (Covid-19) relatado pela primeira vez na China em dezembro de 2019 e dissipado pelo mundo. Assim, todos os modos de interação social tiveram que ser repensados e adaptados às mudanças, e na educação não foi diferente. Seguindo orientações expressas pela Organização Mundial da Saúde para seguir protocolos de isolamento social, as aulas presenciais de instituições de ensino (escolas, universidades e ensino técnico) foram suspensas e, para minimizar o impacto no calendário letivo de 2020,  as escolas adotaram ferramentas e serviços digitais com o intuito de continuar a aprendizagem por meio da modalidade a distância . Neste cenário, a Secretaria de Educação do Estado de São Paulo, desenvolveu uma plataforma de ensino, o Centro de Mídias de São Paulo, com aulas para todas as séries/anos, além de diferentes formações para professores e gestores. Nas formações foram apresentadas novas possibilidades de ferramentas/plataformas digitais para o ensino remoto. O presente artigo constitui um levantamento quantitativo das tecnologias mais utilizadas pelos professores das escolas que compõem a Diretoria de Ensino do Município de Taboão da Serra – São Paulo, durante o ano letivo de 2020.

Published: July 2021

The article is dedicated to the analysis of listening as one of the most significant skills in the organization of speech activity. The article describes the features of listening for students at levels A2 and B1. When mastering this type of speech activity, the student understands and reacts to what is said in a foreign language, transforming his ideas in reply. This is the base of dialogical speaking. The speech characteristic of listening as a kind of communicative action plays a specific role at different phases of developing the English language, so therefore each fresh teacher or pedagogue of the English language must include listening assignments in his lesson.

"Бұл мақалада болашақ педагог-психологтардың кәсіби құзіреттілігін дамытудың өзекті мәселелері қарастырылған. Қоғамның әлеуметтік өмірінің барлық салаларын қамтыған серпінді және жаһандық өзгерістер білім беру саласында да айтарлықтай өзгерістергесептігін тигізді. Қазіргі заманғы болмысқа сәйкес келу үшін жоғары оқу орнының түлегі жаңа жағдайға бейімделіп қана қоймай, оны өзгерте алады, сонымен бірге өзін-өзі өзгерте отырып дамыта алады. Бұл жағдайда жоғары білім берудің маңызды міндеті болашақ педагог-психологтардың кәсіби құзіреттілігінің ерекшеліктерін анықтау, сонымен қатар түлектердің практикаға бағытталған құзыреттіліктерін игеруге бағыттау болып табылады. Оның бірден-бір себебі – қазіргі түлектердің теориялық білім мен дағдыларын практика жүзінде қолдана алмай,еңбек нарығында сұранысқа ие болмай қалуы. Сонымен қатар. аталмыш мақалада болашақ педагог-психологтардың кәсіби құзіреттілігін дамытудағы ЖОО-ның рөлі қарастырылып, кейбір мәселелерді оңтайлы шешу жолдары ұсынылған. Мақала, ең алдымен, психология әдіскерлеріне, оқу орындарының басшыларына, ЖОО оқытушыларына, сондай-ақ кәсіби өзін-өзі дамытуға ұмтылатын педагог-психологтарға пайдалы болуы мүмкін. "

"В данной статье рассматриваются развитие и особенности межкультурной коммуникации в образовании. Так как коммуникация в рамках общей культуры, или межкультурная коммуникация, предполагает общение между людьми, разделяющими общность опыта, знаний и ценностей. Межкультурные отношения основаны на таких факторах, как общее наследие, гендерная ассоциация, религиозная принадлежность, классовое различие и тому подобное. Люди из этой группы могут видеть мир очень похожим образом и могут разделять общую систему ценностей. В рамках общей культуры коммуникация имеет наибольшую вероятность успеха, если успех определяется как сообщение, понимаемое так, как оно было задумано. Успех в современной академической и профессиональной карьере бесспорно и тесно связан с иноязычной компетенцией индивида. Мир, в котором мы живем, резко меняется, и развитие уникальных творческих способностей студентов является важной и достойной образовательной целью. Глобализация инженерной профессии требует от выпускников хороших навыков межкультурной коммуникации. "

"В настоящее время воспитание учащихся осложнено процессами, которые происходят в нашем обществе: кризис социальной системы; распад семьи; обострение политической ситуации; социальная напряженность; межнациональные распри; нарастание экономической нестабильности; криминализация жизни; ухудшение экологической обстановки; увеличение числа беженцев, переселенцев; демонтаж административной системы. В условиях высокой доступности информации и материалов, распространяемых через прессу, телевидение, радио, Интернет и др., на детей и молодежь обрушивается поток низкопробной продукции, пропагандирующей праздный образ жизни, насилие, преступность, проституцию, наркоманию. У значительной части подростков происходит крушение нравственных идеалов, снижается социально-политическая активность, появляется националистическая агрессивность, формируются потребительское настроение и уродливые материальные интересы; распространяются наркомания, проституция, преступность. Особую значимость и личностный смысл приобретает на современном этапе развития нашего общества формирование активной гражданской позиции учащейся молодежи, что выражается в становлении их гражданского самосознания, осознании прав и обязанностей гражданина, правовой культуре, правовом поведении, способности к диалогу, толерантности, ответственности за свои поступки и свой выбор, социальной справедливости.

"В данной статье подчеркивается важность использования дискуссии на уроках иностранного языка. Английский язык используется для разных целей в социальной, образовательной жизни людей. По этой причине студенты, изучающие английский язык, стараются усвоить, использовать и овладеть им в максимально возможной степени, чтобы эффективно говорить. В данной статье предпринята попытка изучить различные аспекты дискуссионного метода обучения в школе и его роль в повышении языковых и академических навыков учеников, а также его недостатки. Исследования преподавания английского языка в университетах и ​​колледжах Казахстана показывают, что значительное число студентов, которые переходят из средних школ и поступают в высшие учебные заведения, сталкиваются с трудностями при использовании английского языка для эффективного удовлетворения своих личных, социальных, академических и карьерных потребностей. Вот почему важно уметь критически мыслить со старшей школы, чтобы не было трудностей в высших учебных заведениях. Метод обсуждения позволяет установить взаимопонимание с учениками, стимулировать их критическое мышление и четко сформулировать идеи. А также в данной работе подчеркивается, что одной из важнейших характеристик вторичной языковой личности, способной к межкультурной коммуникации, является владение свободной, ясной и логически построенной иноязычной речью. Особое внимание уделяется использованию дискуссии в обучении речевым навыкам как способу развития коммуникативных навыков студентов. В статье обосновывается необходимость использования дискуссионного метода на уроках английского языка. "

Published: July 2021

Providing care in a twenty-first century urban emergency department (ED) and trauma center is a complex high-pressure practice environment. The pressure is intensified during patient surge scenarios commonly seen during mass casualty incidents, such that response must be practiced regularly. Beyond clinical mastery of individual patient trauma care, a coordinated system-level response is essential to optimize patient care during these relatively infrequent events. This paper highlights the need to perform exercises in hospitals while providing practical advice on how to utilize in situ simulation for mass casualty testing. Eleven lessons are presented to assist other emergency management professionals, hospital administrators, or clinical staff to achieve success with in situ simulation. Based upon our experience designing and executing an in situ mass casualty simulation within an ED, we offer lessons applicable to any type of disaster exercise. Simulation offers a powerful tool for the conduct of disaster preparedness exercises for staff across multiple hospital departments and professions.

Serum tRNA-derived fragments as potential biomarkers in children with acute intussusception.
Authors: Zhao Lian , Chen Wei , Guo Wan-liang
Published: July 2021

Introduction

Intestinal ischemia–reperfusion injury (I/R) can occur during pediatric intussusception, and any delay in diagnosis or treatment can lead to loss of intestinal viability that requires bowel resection. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA)–derived fragments (tRFs) can serve as candidate biomarkers for pediatric intussusception.

Material and methods

Using high-throughput sequencing technology, we identified differentially expressed tRFs, and ultimately selected three tRFs to establish a signature as a predictive biomarker of pediatric intussusception. Selection of these three upregulated genes was veriﬁed using quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). We conducted receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to evaluate the predictive accuracy of the selected genes for pediatric intussusception.

Results

We detected 732 tRFs and tRNA-derived stress-induced RNA (tiRNAs), 1705 micro-RNAs (miRNAs), 52 differentially expressed miRNAs, and 34 differentially expressed tRFs and tiRNAs between patients and controls. Compared with controls, we found 33 upregulated miRNAs, 24 upregulated tRFs and tiRNAs, 19 downregulated miRNAs, and 10 downregulated tRFs and tiRNAs in children with intussusception. Using qPCR, the expression trends of tRF-Leu-TAA-006, tRF-Gln-TTG-033 and tRF-Lys-TTT-028 were consistent with the sequencing results. AUCs of tRF-Leu-TAA-006, tRF-Gln-TTG-033 and tRF-Lys-TTT-028 were 0.984, 0.970 and 0.837, respectively.

Conclusions

Circulating tRF-Leu-TAA-006, tRF-Gln-TTG-033 and tRF-Lys-TTT-028 expression might be a novel potential biomarker for diagnosis of pediatric intussusception.
