Chromatographic Profiling (HPTLC and GC MS) of Purified Guggulu (Commiphora wightii Arn. Bhand) in Tila thaila (Sesame Oil)
Authors: M. Menon Indu , Deepa M. S.
Published: September 2024

Background and aim: Guggulu is a resinous exudate obtained from the plant Commiphora wightii (Arn.) Bhand., which is used in Ayurvedic medicines for various ailments like anti-inflammatory conditions, hyperlipidemia, thyroid disorders etc. Guggulsterones E and Z are responsible for these broad ranges of pharmacological actions. Before incorporating it into medicinal formulations, shodhana (purification) has to be performed, which is a unique concept in Ayurveda. It covers the process of removal of physical and chemical impurities and also improves the efficacy of a drug. Many Shodhana (purification) procedures for Guggulu in different liquid media are mentioned in various Ayurvedic classical texts. Anandakanda, an Ayurvedic text, emphasises the purification of Guggulu in tila thaila (sesame oil) using a specialised apparatus, Dolayantra (swinging apparatus). The present study aims to carry out the preliminary physicochemical and phytochemical screening, quantification of Guggulsterones E and Z using HPTLC and GC-MS analysis of crude and purified Guggulu. Results: Significant variations were found in physicochemical and phytochemical parameters. Organoleptic evaluation showed notable variations in the physical characters. Before and after shodhana (purification), the mean concentrations of Guggulsterone E and Z revealed significant increase (at p<0.01). Few new compounds had been introduced to the purified Guggulu, according to the results of the GC-MS analysis. Conclusion: The traditional purification might have improved the physical features and phytochemical profileof Guggulu

Authors: Atoyan A.G. , Hovhannisyan A.R.
Published: September 2024

The leading trend in the development of the footwear industry is to increase production efficiency, mainly by improving the quality of all types of footwear. The quality of footwear depends on a whole range of properties, an important indicator of which is the strength of the footwear. The strength of shoe parts is largely determined by the strength of its connections․ Currently, the strength of various connections of shoe parts is assessed without taking into account the presence of many factors that jointly influence them. Therefore, the problem of increasing the strength and reliability of shoe joints remains relevant, since joint rupture is one of the main defects in shoes. An analysis is the sole of the methods of fastening the upper part of the shoe, as well as the connections of the upper part is carried out.
The advantages and disadvantages of shoe fastenings secured by the adhesive, thread and oilcloth methods are studied․ Research work is carried out to determine the strength of adhesive, thread, glue joints of the upper and sole of shoes, as a result of which it is proved that the strength of shoe seams is significantly influenced by joint changes in temperature and humidity.
The tests were carried out on an installation that provides determination of the strength of shoe joints under environmental conditions (temperature: t>10°C, humidity: φ = 50...75%) and under conditions of a joint change in the angle of inclination of the shoes to the horizon. As a result of the tests, a database of requirements for the strength of adhesive, thread, and glue joints of shoes under conditions of joint changes in temperature and humidity was obtained.
Correlation and regression models have been developed that can be used to quickly and objectively assess the strength of joints under any changes in temperature and humidity of the joint.

Authors: Chen Yihan , Duan Yating , Qi Yali
Published: September 2024

Pulmonary embolism is the third leading cause of death in cardiovascular disease worldwide, after myocardial infarction and stroke. Traditionally, pulmonary angiography has been considered the gold standard for diagnosing pulmonary embolism. However, with advancements in medical care, less invasive tests such as computed tomography pulmonary arteriography (CTPA) and ventilation/perfusion imaging (V/Q imaging) have emerged, which, while less invasive than traditional angiography, are still complex and carry various risks. Various biomarkers identified to date have demonstrated reliability in the diagnosis, stratification, and prognosis of pulmonary embolism. Therefore, this paper aims to summarize the relevant biomarkers of pulmonary embolism and provide a basis for improving early diagnosis and treatment.
Exploring the Experience of Guo Yi Master Lei Zhongyi in Dialectical Treatment of Heart Failure Based on the Theory of "Yang Wei Yin Xian"
Authors: Zhang Meng , Chen Jinfeng
Published: September 2024

The term "heart failure" first appeared in Wang Shuhe's "Meridian: Spleen and Stomach Diseases". The related description of heart failure is recorded in the "Huangdi Neijing", which is a disease mainly characterized by palpitations, asthma, and edema. It is often the terminal stage of chronic heart disease that cannot be cured. Its basic pathogenesis is prolonged illness with deficiency of heart qi, loss of nourishment in the heart, weakness in blood circulation, prolonged stagnation of the heart meridians, cessation of water consumption, and the generation of phlegm and dampness, resulting in heart failure. The theory of "Yang Wei Yin Xian" is a highly summarized understanding by Zhang Zhongjing of the etiology and pathogenesis of chest pain and heartache. Chinese medical master Lei Zhongyi has been practicing medicine for more than 60 years and has unique insights in the prevention and treatment of heart failure, with considerable clinical efficacy. He believes that heart failure belongs to the principle of deficiency and excess, and the theory of "yang micro yin string" is also applicable to this disease. Its onset is closely related to the pathological changes of substances such as qi, blood, and body fluids. The method of treating phlegm and blood stasis together should run through the treatment process, especially for patients who consume qi and yin in the later stage. Emphasis should be placed on promoting blood circulation and nourishing qi and yin, and the treatment should focus on both attacking and tonifying, with Qi and blood regulating simultaneously. Based on clinical experience, the original Yangxin Huoxue Tang has achieved significant clinical efficacy.

Progress and Current Status of Treatment for Lower Limb Varicose Veins
Authors: Li Xinyang , Wu Shile
Published: September 2024

Varicose veins of lower extremities are common venous diseases of lower extremities in clinic [1]. The total number of patients with varicose veins of lower extremities in China has exceeded 100 million, and the incidence rate is about 15% [2]. Therefore, there is a huge number of illnesses and a demand for surgical treatment. At present, the main treatment options for lower limb varicose veins include conservative treatment and surgical treatment. Surgical treatment methods include traditional surgery and minimally invasive surgery. The high ligation and stripping of the great saphenous vein has always been the gold standard for the treatment of lower limb varicose veins. This method is technically mature and clinically effective, but it is a destructive surgery that uses a stripping device to forcefully pull. Therefore, the intraoperative trauma is large, the amount of bleeding is high, and a series of postoperative complications such as hidden nerve damage, subcutaneous congestion, incision bleeding, deep vein thrombosis, etc. are prone to occur. With the increasing demand for skin aesthetics and reducing postoperative complications, minimally invasive surgery has gradually been applied to the treatment of lower limb varicose veins, such as intracavitary laser ablation, intracavitary radiofrequency ablation, Tri Vex minimally invasive rotary cutting, hemodynamic correction, etc. [3]. This article provides a review of the current main treatment methods for lower limb varicose veins, in order to further understand and master the principles and application scope of each treatment method, and to better select personalized treatment plans for varicose vein patients in the future.

Ferroptosis and Sarcopenia-Osteoporosis after Menopause: Research Status, Traditional Chinese Medicine Strategies, and Prospects
Authors: Chen Qi , Tan Longwang , Li Jiang , Chen Shiqiang
Published: September 2024

Ferroptosis, a precisely regulated cell death mechanism, is distinguished by its intimate link to iron overload and lipid peroxidation processes, playing a pivotal role in the pathological progression of a wide range of diseases. In postmenopausal women suffering from osteoporosis, reduced muscle strength and impaired balance lead to a heightened risk of fragility fractures, markedly diminishing their quality of life. Recent groundbreaking research has underscored the crucial role of the ferroptosis mechanism in the initiation and progression of musculoskeletal diseases. This discovery not only enriches our understanding of disease mechanisms but also heralds ferroptosis pathways as novel and promising therapeutic targets for treating these conditions. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has exhibited remarkable efficacy in managing musculoskeletal diseases, with studies validating its ability to modulate ferroptosis mechanisms and profoundly impact disease regulation. This portends vast research potential and significant therapeutic promise for the future. By delving deeper into the interplay between ferroptosis and sarcopenia-osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, and by developing innovative therapeutic strategies and TCM interventions, we aspire to forge new pathways for the treatment of sarcopenia-osteoporosis in this patient population.

IgG4-related diseases (IgG4-RD) is a group of diseases characterized by abnormally elevated levels of IgG4 antibodies and infiltration of IgG4+ plasma cells. Currently, Western medicine mainly uses hormones, immunosuppressants, and biologically targeted therapies for treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine mainly uses dialectic therapy to treat the disease. The syndrome types are mostly Yin deficiency of the liver and kidney, phlegm and blood stasis, Yang deficiency of the spleen and kidney, and damp-heat of the liver and gallbladder. This article provides a review of the research progress in epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of IgG4-related diseases in Chinese and Western medicine.
Diastolic Blood Pressure Response During Non-isometric Exercise and Its Relationship with Family History of Hypertension
Authors: Shamimi Reza
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study was to find an association (if any) between isolated diastolic blood pressure response to non - isometric exercise and family history of hypertension. Diastolic blood pressure response (DBPR) of 32 apparently healthy young adults (aged 18 - 30 years) were noted during 10 minutes of cycling on a bicycle ergometer and during their recovery after exercise and their family history of hypertension were recorded by a separate observer.4 sets of data were rejected due to faulty technique and rest 28 sets of data were checked for association by a 2 by 2 contingency table and by performing Chi - Square test.17 subjects showed normal DBPR, 11 of them did not have any family history of hypertension, which should be a normal occurrence. And out of 11 subjects with abnormal/exaggerated DBPR, 6 had positive family history of hypertension, which was inconclusive. The test result gave us a more than 25% chance of randomness of association between abnormal/exaggerated DBPR and family history of hypertension, which refuted the association, meaning abnormal/exaggerated DBPR to non - isometric exercise and family history of hypertension can both be predictors of future hypertension but there is no association between them.
The Revolution of Artificial Intelligence in Nursing Education and Practice
Authors: Singam Amitesh Kumar
Published: September 2024

As a grade 11 student studying in Modern School, Barakhambha Road, New Delhi, I have been fortunate enough to witness the effects of government policies aimed at integrating children from economically weaker sections (EWS) into mainstream education. While the inclusion of EWS children in schools like ours has been a significant stride towards social equity, there are still several challenges to overcome. Our batch (2011) was the first batch where the EWS quota was implemented by the government. All throughout junior school, I kept hearing from my family that it was the noblest idea to integrate children who come from slightly disadvantaged backgrounds into the mainstream, and how it was only through education and equal opportunities that the children of this country would grow to become fine human beings who could lead the world of the future. I was always taught to treat them with kindness and compassion, but also, at the same time, in an effort to be inclusive, was taught to be careful about not hurting them by making them feel different or pointing out the differences between our upbringings. The presence of EWS children in our school is a testament to the success of policies such as the Right to Education (RTE) Act, which mandates private schools to reserve a percentage of their seats for underprivileged children. This initiative has provided EWS children with access to quality education, creating opportunities for their future. However, the social aspect of integration is an area that still requires attention. One of the most glaring challenges is the lack of interaction between children belonging to higher socio-economic strata and those belonging to the EWS. I have myself been a witness to unequal treatment, even though it was largely inadvertent. This is because schools ask children to engage in activities that may not necessarily be within the means of an EWS household. Activities such as domestic field trips and international exchange programmes challenge even affluent households at times. It is not uncommon to see students from different socio-economic backgrounds form separate social circles. This social divide can have a profound impact on the EWS children, making them feel isolated and unwelcome. Such feelings can further affect their academic performance and emotional well-being. As a student, I believe it is crucial to explore ways to foster better relationships between students from diverse backgrounds.

Published: September 2024

Difficulties in the diagnosis and management of patients with Crohn's disease (CD), requiring frequent endoscopic examination due to the lack of a clear correlation between clinical manifestations and endoscopic activity, dictate the need to improve old approaches and search for new ones. Traditionally, markers of the disease are C-reactive protein (CRP) and fecal calprotectin (FC), which also may not always reflect the course of the disease. In our study, we analyzed the role of CRP and FC and considered trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), a breakdown product of choline, phosphatidylcholine, and carnitine formed by the gut microbiome, as a novel biomarker. 85 respondents (47 with BC, 38 healthy individuals) were measured for CRP, FC, and TMAO. It was found that patients with BC had significant differences in the form of increased SRB (p=0.003), FA (p<0.001), and decreased TMAO (p<0.001) in contrast to healthy individuals. CRP and FC correlated with disease activity by clinical, laboratory, and endoscopic activity.

Published: September 2024

Enterolobium cyclocarpum heartwood is prized for furniture making because of its natural durability. In this process, up to 50% of the heartwood is discarded in the sawmill. Which contains extractives that can be used to emulate the natural durability and give protection to soft or rapidly deteriorating wood. Pinewood in service and several items made up mainly of cellulose are subject to deterioration caused by xylophage boring insects and other biotic agents. The purpose of this research was to demonstrate that the E. cyclocarpum heartwood aqueous extract protects dry pinewood against the damage caused by the termite Incisitermes marginipennis (Latreille) (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae) a borer insect. The removal of pigments from the aqueous extract, which initially stained the wood dark brown, made it possible to preserve the natural color of the wood, an important characteristic for the commercialization of wooden products. In addition to the protective properties, the phenolic compounds in the extract contributed to reducing degradation caused by light and other factors, delaying the aging of the wood. The proposal to use E. cyclocarpum residues to prepare a cheap and easy-to-prepare aqueous extract offers a sustainable and economical solution for wood preservation. These compounds can be applied in various biological areas, due to their antitumor, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Offering an ecologically correct and economically viable alternative to traditional preservatives, aligning with sustainability and environmental preservation trends. In conclusion, for indoor use, E. cyclocarpum heartwood colourless aqueous extract is an alternative to protect pinewood of drywood termite Incisitermes marginipennis due to manool presence.

Authors: Restrepo-Valencia César Augusto , Aguirre Arango José Vicente , Restrepo Duque Carlos Hernán
Published: September 2024

Contexto: en la enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) se ha visto la presencia de varios desórdenes endocrinos, siendo el hipotiroidismo uno de ellos, impactando fuertemente en su evolución. Su incidencia en Colombia es poco conocida en este grupo de pacientes.
Objetivo: establecer la prevalencia de hipotiroidismo en pacientes con reciente diagnóstico de enfermedad renal crónica no dialítica (ERCND) y analizar si las variables demográficas, clínicas y de laboratorio permiten diferenciarlos de pacientes eutiroideos con ERCND.
Metodología: pacientes interconsultados durante un periodo de cinco años en el servicio de Nefrología del Hospital de Caldas y la Universidad de Caldas, por deterioro en la función renal, incluyéndose solo aquellos que cumplieron con los criterios compatibles con ERC. En todos se evaluaron variables demográficas, clínicas y de laboratorio como parte de un programa de nefroprotección, y se diagnosticó hipotiroidismo si el valor de TSH era mayor a 4,5 mUI/l.
Resultados: en una población de 1332 pacientes interconsultados, de los cuales 535 cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión, el hipotiroidismo se presentó en el 29,2?% de los pacientes con ERCND. El 25,23?% tuvo valores de TSH entre 4,5 y 10, y el 3,74?% mostró valores mayores a 10 mUI/l. No encontramos variables demográficas, clínicas ni de laboratorio que permitieran diferenciar entre pacientes eutiroideos e hipotiroideos con ERCND.
Conclusiones: no hay parámetros que orienten la sospecha de la presencia de hipotiroidismo en pacientes con ERCND. Recomendamos que al ingresar al programa de nefroprotección, y por su importancia pronóstica, a todos se les practiquen exámenes de rutina de TSH y T4L.

Este trabajo expone los resultados de una investigación desarrollada para analizar la relación existente, entre las percepciones sobre inclusión educativa y las prácticas pedagógicas de docentes de educación básica. Es una investigación de enfoque cualitativo y de nivel descriptivo. La información recogida mediante entrevistas y analizada con el empleo del software Atlas.Ti 9.0, revela que los investigados tienen un limitado conocimiento con respecto a la inclusión educativa, en cuanto a las concepciones esenciales y a los alcances de esta en el contexto escolar. Son notorias las confusiones entre integración e inclusión y entre necesidades educativas específicas y discapacidad. Varios investigados consideran que la inclusión educativa es poco aplicable, puesto que, desde su perspectiva hay pocos estudiantes portadores de necesidades educativas específicas; asimismo, los investigados en sus prácticas pedagógicas invisibilizan casos con necesidades educativas específicas, puesto que su atención es limitada, espontánea, fragmentada y mecánicamente; centrada en la aplicación de metodologías homogeneizadoras, a pesar de interactuar en un contexto socio-educativo aparentemente inclusivo.

PERIPHERAL CEMENTO-OSSIFYING FIBROMA OF THE ANTERIOR MAXILLARY GINGIVA
Authors: Koswara Teja
Published: September 2024

Peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma (PCOF) is a reactive gingival growth due to trauma or local chronic irritation. It occurs in about 2% of all intraoral lesions or about 9.6% of all gingival lesions. Clinical differential diagnoses of PCOF are Peripheral giant cell granuloma, pyogenic granuloma or epulis granulomatosa, irritation fibroma, and osteoid osteoma. This report describes a case of a 39-year-old female with sessile growth measuring 2x2x1 cm on the anterior maxillary gingiva at 11 and 21 region. Clinical diagnosis was epulis granulomatosa. An excisional biopsy was performed, and a histopathological diagnosis was made of peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma. PCOF is more common in females in the second decade of life and is usually seen in the anterior Maxilla. Lesions are sessile or polypoid growth with normal overlying surface or reddish—generally less than 2 cm. Radiology examinations are usually within normal limits, but sometimes, there are foci of calcification seen within the lesion, superficial bone erosion, or loss of interdental bone with the treatment with excisional biopsy and curettage for periosteum and periodontal ligament tissue. Also, it is essential to eliminate some irritating factors to prevent recurrence. Recurrence rate is high, about 20% of cases. Clinical features of PCOF were similar to other more common gingival lesions such as epulis or fibroma. Histopathological examination was critical to make a definitive diagnosis.

Authors: Yan Siran
Published: September 2024

Since the rapid development of the game, the product has been controversial. Although the excellent works promoting culture in game works, due to the excessive pursuit of economic benefits and the lack of systematic evaluation system, the art threshold of game works is also lowered, and most of the works containing excellent traditional culture are only used as a publicity stunt, without substantive promotion. However, as a new cultural transmission carrier, the advantages and disadvantages of games can not be generalized. The emergence of games makes excellent traditional culture have more opportunities to expose. This paper studies and explores how to make good use of games as a new cultural carrier, develop strengths and avoid weaknesses, and show excellent traditional culture to the world. The following will take the Japanese game "Wolong Sky Fall" as an example, through the analysis of its narrative mode of historical adaptation games, and analyze the defects and value of historical games to cultural inheritance.
Robustness Investigation of ML Models for Stock Price Prediction During Market Volatility: A Case Study of the Japanese Stock Market Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Chen Zhuo
Published: September 2024

In the evolving realm of financial markets, precise stock price prediction remains a pivotal challenge. This paper investigates the efficacy of traditional machine learning models for stock price forecasting, particularly during the high volatility phase induced by the COVID-19 pandemic, using the Japanese stock market as a case study. This study utilized a dataset from the JPX Tokyo Stock Exchange Prediction competition, selecting two stocks at random to avoid bias. After standardizing the data for consistency, this study employed linear regression and decision trees to project stock prices, comparing their performance during stable periods and the economic upheaval of the pandemic. The analysis revealed that both models' predictive capabilities were compromised during the pandemic, with the decision tree model particularly underperforming. In normal times, linear regression showed improved accuracy for stock 1301 in 2021, while for stock 6758, the model's performance declined. These findings underscore the necessity for robust models that can withstand market turbulences like those observed during the COVID-19 crisis. The research contributes to both academic discussions on financial forecasting and practical strategies for market participants navigating complex stock environments. Future work will focus on developing more resilient forecasting methods to address these challenges.
