Host signaling and proteolytic pathways in the resolution or the exacerbation of coronavirus (CoV-2) infection in COVID-19 disease: what therapeutic targets?
Authors: SALLENAVE Jean-Michel , Guillot Loic
Published: April 2020

COVID-19 is caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) coronavirus (Cov)-2, an enveloped virus with a positive single-stranded RNA genome. Pandemic initial outbreak began in December 2019 and is threatening the health of the global community. In common with previous pandemics (Influenza H1N1, SARS-CoV-1) and the epidemics of Middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS)-CoV, CoVs target bronchial and alveolar epithelial cells. Virus proteins ligands (eg haemagglutinin or spike protein for Influenza and CoV, respectively) interact with cellular receptors such as (depending on the virus), either sialic acids, Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4), or angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Host proteases, eg cathepsins, furin, or members of the type II transmembrane serine proteases (TTSP) family such as Transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2) are involved in virus entry by proteolytically activating virus ligands. Also involved are Toll Like Receptor (TLR) familly members which up-regulate anti-viral and pro-inflammatory mediators (interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8...), through the activation of Nuclear Factor (NF)-kB. When these events (virus cellular entry and innate immune responses) are uncontrolled, a deleterious systemic response is sometimes encountered in infected patients, leading to the well described ‘cytokine storm’ and an ensuing multiple organ failure, promoted by a down-regulation of dendritic cells, macrophage and T cell function.We aim to describe how the lung and systemic host innate immune responses affect survival either positively, through down-regulating initial viral load, or negatively, by triggering uncontrolled inflammation. An emphasis will be put on host cellular signaling pathways and proteases involved, with a view on tackling these therapeutically.

Published: April 2020

ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Latin American countries have been profoundly affected by COVID-19. Due to the alarming incidence of identified cases, we intended to explore which psycho-social elements may be influencing the poor adherence toward the mandatory control measures among the population. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes and vulnerability perception of Peruvians during the coronavirus outbreak.METHOD: Using a web-based cross-sectional survey, we collected data from 225 self-selected participants, evaluating demographic information. The overall respondents were between 18 and 29 years old (56.8%), being female (n = 134), belonging to educated groups, and graduated professionals (69.3%), the majority of them. RESULTS: Logistic regression showed that knowledge is highly correlated with education (p=0.031), occupation (p=0.002), and age (p= 0.016). Our study identified that, although people reported adequate knowledge by identifying expected symptoms and virus transmission ways in COVID-19 disease. There is a significant perceived susceptibility to contract the mentioning virus, displaying stigmatized behavior (59.1%) and fear of contracting the virus from others (70.2%). Additionally, it is reported to lack people's confidence to health national authorities on the sanitary responses (62.7%), preparedness for the disease (76.9%) and the lack of adequate measures to deal with it (51.1%). CONCLUSION: We suggest that public policies consider guidelines on knowledge translation and risk communication strategies for both containing psychological responses in a timely manner and ensuring compliance with public control measures by the population.

Published: April 2020

Understanding who in the population is psychologically resilient in the face of major life events, and who is not, is important for policies that target reductions in disadvantage. In this paper we construct a measure of adult resilience, document its distribution, and test its predictability by childhood socioeconomic circumstances. We use a dynamic finite mixture model applied to 17 years of panel data, and focus on the psychological reaction to ten major adverse life events. These include serious illness, major financial events, redundancy and crime victimisation. Our model accounts for non-random selection into events, anticipation of events, and differences between individuals in the immediate response and the speed of adaptation. We find considerable heterogeneity in the response to adverse events, and that resilience is strongly correlated with clinical measures of mental health. Resilience in adulthood is predictable by childhood socioeconomic circumstances; the strongest predictor is good childhood health.

Published: April 2020

Rainwater harvesting that is good and right by the needs of household clean water is one of the problems for the people in the islands in Indonesia, especially Merbau Island which is located in the Kepulauan Meranti Regency, Riau Province. The only source of clean water that can be enjoyed easily and cheaply is rainwater. Rainfall on Merbau Island ranges between 2.000 – 4.000 mm per year which is classified as moderate. A survey of 100 randomly selected people was conducted, with a questionnaire containing components for rainwater harvesting (RWH) and other core questions. If available rainfall is used optimally, the need for clean water on the island can be met. Calculation of rainwater for cooking, drinking and washing needs is estimated to be around 15 lpcd. The data obtained is rainfall in 2016 with a total rainfall of 1,754 mm, roof storage area of 36 m2, and the type of roof used is zinc. Rain cycle V2 simulation produces a 3 m3 volume rainwater storage tank, with a construction cost of Rp. 10,365,000. This tank can meet the needs of clean water for five family members for a year.

Published: April 2020

The location of the research was carried out at Villa Melati Permai II Housing which is on the Melati Indah Street, Tampan District, Pekanbaru City. Villa Melati Permai II is categorized as middle to upper-class housing but does not have its access network. This research will make the modeling of FTTH (Fiber To The Home) networks with network feasibility parameters to produce quality and appropriate FTTH networks. Manual calculation on the feasibility of FTTH networks using the power link budget and rise time budget shows results within the feasibility limit, which does not exceed the maximum limit for the power link budget of -27 dBm and rise time budget below the total time of bit rates. Calculation with NRZ (Non-Return to Zero) coding produces a downstream value of 0.2813 ns and upstream 0.562 ns. System performance parameters that show signal to noise ratio and bit error rate deliver good quality. Signal to noise ratio exceeds the minimum limit of PT. Telkom standard that is 21.5 dB and the bit error rate does not exceed the optical link standard which is 10-9. Good performance is also shown by eye pattern in optical simulation that displays amplitude signals with the same time and shows clear differences between bits 1 and bits 0.

Authors: Mainil Afdhal Kuniawan
Published: April 2020

One of the developing technologies of renewable energy is the Salt Gradient Solar Pond (SGSP). SGSP utilize solar energy by storing its thermal energy in a pond of saline solution. Bengkulu Province has a high intensity of sunlight and a long coastline with an abundance of salt water. Therefore, it is a very suitable location for further development of SGSP technology. The design of SGSP prototype had been carried out by using a 1 m3 cylinder as the saline solution pond. The density and temperature of the solution were measured at 11 points from the bottom to the top of the cylinder. The results show that the keeper of the pond, the more density of the solution, in which the highest solution density was at the bottom of the pond, i.e., 1.206 gr/cm3. The average temperature of the solution was 44.2°C. The maximum temperature, which was 48.7 °C, was observed around the storage zone, about 0.3 m from the pond‘s bottom. The results of the measurements of salinity gradient and temperatures show that this prototype of SGSP is appropriate to be used for storing heat around the storage zone.

Published: April 2020

Introduction: Influenza viral infection in children can range from subclinical illness to multi system involvement. The morbidity associated with influenza B viral infection is often overlooked. India being the second most populous country, accounts for 20% of global childhood deaths from respiratory infections. There is paucity of data on the clinical features and complications of influenza B viral infections in children from the Indian subcontinent. Our objective was to study the clinical profile, seasonality, complications and outcome associated with Influenza B viral infection in children < 18 years of age.

Material and Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study at a tertiary care hospital in South India. Children less than 18 years of age admitted to our paediatric unit were included in the study. We reviewed the case sheets of 56 patients who tested positive for influenza B virus during the study period and recorded their clinical and laboratory data. Throat swab obtained from cases were tested by RT-PCR. The illness was classified as upper respiratory tract infection, pneumonia and severe pneumonia. Outcome measures analysed were- mortality, need for oxygen supplementation or assisted ventilation, duration of oxygen support, duration of ICU/ hospital stay and time for defervescence following initiation of oseltamivir therapy.

Results: The mean age of the study population was 6.98 years. Majority of the affected children were > 5 years of age in the school going category with a male to female ratio of 3:2. The diagnosis based on clinical and radiological findings included upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) in 44 (78.5%) cases followed by pneumonia in 11(19.6%) and severe pneumonia in one (1.7%) child. The peak incidence was in the month of March. Malnutrition was the most common risk factor affecting 22 (39.3%) cases followed by history of asthma in eight (14.3%). Three children required oxygen supplementation at admission. The median duration of hospital stay was seven days. The median duration for defervescence following initiation of oseltamivir therapy was 24 hours. Mortality was recorded in one infant who died of acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Conclusions: Influenza B virus should be screened in all children having underlying high risk medical condition, presenting with pneumonia or upper respiratory tract infection. Oseltamivir therapy should be initiated early in the management of influenza B viral infections to prevent complications.

THE METHOD OF SUCCESSIVE APPROXIMATIONS IN THE MATHEMATICAL THE-ORY OF SHALLOW SHELLS OF ARBITRARY THICKNESS
Authors: Zelensky A. G.
Published: April 2020

The method of sequential approximations (MSA) in mathematical theory (MT) of transversal-isotropic shallow shells of arbitrary thickness is developed. MT takes into account all components of stress-strain state (SSS). SSS and boundary conditions are considered to be functions of three varia-bles. Three-dimensional problems are reduced to two- dimensional decompositions of all the compo-nents of the SSS into series in the transverse coordinate using Legendre polynomials and using the Reisner variational principle. The boundary conditions for stresses on the front surfaces of the shell are fulfilled precisely. Previous studies have shown the high efficiency of this MT. The boundary-value problem for a shallow shell is reduced to sequences of two boundary-value problems for the respective plates. One sequence describes symmetric deformation relative to the median plane, and the other sequence is skew symmetric. MSA makes it easier to find a common solution of differential equations (DE) for shallow shells. Highly accurate results for SSS are already in the first approxi-mation. MSA can be used when solving problems for shallow shells by other theories.

AN ENCOURAGING STRATEGY IN PEER CORRECTION
Authors: Gulnara Ahmadova
Published: April 2020

The purpose of the article is to introduce a strategy in the peer correction. Any correction of the mistake being reluctantly welcomed is usually accepted with a sense of disfavor. Peer correction in speaking activity is no exception. To turn this tedious process into an attractive one we have developed a relatively new strategy. Peer correction in writing activity has long been practiced. Learners enjoy discovering each other’s mistakes in essays, spelling or grammar tests, etc. But correcting speaker’s errors being rarely carried out has gradually almost been forgotten. The paper introduces a new concept in peer correction involving a point system. The students actively participating in a correction process are praised with a surplus point for a corrected mistake, which is further taken into account. The strategy has proved to be a motivating one in teaching English as a foreign language.
Dış Politikada Popülist Söylem ve Girişimler: Trump Siyaseti ve Brexit Süreci
Authors: KARAGÜL Soner , ENGİN GÜDER Belma
Published: April 2020

Popülizm, geniş halk kitlelerinin desteğini kazanabilmek için siyasi parti ve liderlerin iç ve dış politikaya ilişkin söylem, vaat, eylem ve girişimlerini kapsamaktadır. Dünyanın farklı bölgelerindeki toplumlar, siyasi, ekonomik ve kültürel manada siyasi elitlerin popülist politikalarına maruz kalmaktadır. Popülist siyaset tarzı, siyaset aktörlerinin iktidarı almak veya elde tutmak için tercih ettiği bir araca dönüşürken; siyaset aktörleri, popülist söylem ve icraatlarıyla toplumu mobilize etmeyi başarabildikleri ölçüde iktidara gelebilmekte ya da iktidarda kalabilmektedir. Popülizmin çağın koşullarına ayak uyduran karakteri ise onu ulusal ölçekli bir girişim olmaktan çıkararak uluslararası ve ulus ötesi boyutlara ulaştırmaktadır. Ayrıca, iç politika meselelerinin yanı sıra dış politika konuları da popülist söylem ve pratiklere giderek daha fazla malzeme oluşturmaktadır. Trump siyaseti ve Brexit Süreci, popülizmin değişen ve dönüşen karakterinin öne çıkan iki örneği olmaktadır. Bu çalışma, bir yandan uluslararası ilişkilerde popülizmin artan rolüne odaklanırken, diğer yandan Trump siyaseti ve Brexit sürecinden yola çıkarak, halkın siyasi tercihlerini yönlendirmede iç politika meseleleri gibi dış politik konuların da popülist söylem ve girişimlerle araçsallaştırıldığını ileri sürmektedir.

Microanatomy of the dura mater at the craniovertebral junction and spinal region for safe and effective surgical treatment
Authors: Ito Kiyoshi , Yamada Mitsunori , Horiuchi Tetsuyoshi , Hongo Kazuhiro
Published: April 2020

OBJECTIVE

Few reports have been published regarding the detailed microsurgical anatomy of the dura mater at the craniovertebral junction (CVJ), although many neurosurgeons have had the opportunity to conduct surgeries in this region, such as in cases of Chiari malformation. The authors aimed to evaluate the detailed and precise microsurgical anatomy of the dura mater at the CVJ for safe and effective surgical treatment at this area.

METHODS

This study consisted of dissection of 4 formalin-fixed, continuous, human cadaveric dura maters, extending from the posterior fossa to the C2 level. After removing the occipital bone and C1 laminae, a dural incision was made to harvest the specimen. The following structural and topographical aspects of the dura mater in each region were studied: 1) thickness, 2) morphological characteristics, and 3) vascular structures.

RESULTS

The average thicknesses of the dura mater were 313.4 ± 137.0 μm, 3051.5 ± 798.8 μm, and 866.5 ± 359.0 μm in the posterior cranial fossa, CVJ, and spinal region, respectively. The outer layer of the posterior cranial dura mater and the tendon of the rectus capitis posterior minor muscle were connected, forming the “myodural bridge.” The dura mater at the CVJ had a well-developed vascular network. These vascular structures were determined to be veins or the venous sinus, and were mainly located around the interface between the inner layer of the cranial dura mater and the rectus capitis posterior minor muscle layer. Regarding the morphological features, the bulging located in the inner layer of the dura mater at the CVJ was determined to be the marginal sinus, and contained a pacchionian granulation that allowed for CSF circulation. In the spinal region, the dura mater was characterized by a single, thick layer enclosing the collagen fibers with almost the same orientation.

CONCLUSIONS

The dura mater at the CVJ displayed dynamic morphological changes within an extremely short segment. Its characteristic anatomical features were not similar to those in the cranial regions. The dural bulging at the CVJ was determined to be the venous sinus. During surgery in the posterior fossa, CVJ, and spinal cord, different procedures should be used because of the specific microsurgical anatomy of each region.

Published: April 2020

OBJECTIVE

Timely aneurysm occlusion and neurointensive care treatment are key principles in the management of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) to prevent secondary brain injury. Patients with early (EHA) and delayed hospital admission (DHA) were compared in terms of clinical presentation, treatment strategies, aSAH-related complications, and outcome.

METHODS

In this retrospective study, consecutive aSAH patients were treated at a single neurovascular center between 2009 and 2019. Propensity score matching was performed to account for divergent baseline characteristics.

RESULTS

Among 509 included patients, 55 were admitted more than 48 hours after ictus (DHA group). DHA patients were significantly younger (52 ± 11 vs 56 ± 14 years, p = 0.03) and had lower World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies scores (p < 0.01) than EHA patients. In 54.5% of the cases, DHA patients presented with neurological deterioration or aggravated symptoms. Propensity score matching revealed a higher vasospastic infarction rate in the DHA group (41.5%) than in the EHA group (22.6%) (p = 0.04). A similar portion of patients in both groups achieved favorable outcome at midterm follow-up (77.3% vs 73.6%, p = 0.87). DHA patients (62.3%) received conventional coiling more often than EHA patients (41.5%) (p = 0.03).

CONCLUSIONS

DHA patients are at an increased risk of cerebral infarction. Nevertheless, state-of-the-art neurointensive care treatment can result in a good clinical outcome.

Authors: Husnawati Husnawati
Published: April 2020

Politeness which is reflected in behavior and speech has different standards in every place as a form of cultural treasures. This is motivated by various things, not only social stratification in society and nobility, but also age, education, familiarity, and speech situation. The community members of Kelanjuh Lauq Central Lombok use Sasak "subtle" language not only to show their social status and nobility, but also to maintain Sasak subtle language and to acquire language for children. In contrast, in Kelayu East Lombok, the standard of decency in speech does not reflect one's nobility, but rather the social status and the level of religious understanding. The use of subtle language is important that everyone can put him or herself correctly and proportionally to maintain social harmony in a community.
