The kynurenine pathway in patients with rheumatoid arthritis during tumor necrosis factor α inhibitors treatment
Authors: Witoszyńska-Sobkowiak Joanna , Sikorska Dorota , Niklas Karolina , Żychowska Iwona , Rutkowski Rafał , Samborski Włodzimierz
Published: August 2024

Objectives

The importance of the kynurenine pathway in normal immune system function has led to an appreciation of its possible contribution to autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of treatment with tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) inhibitors on the activity of the kynurenine pathway in patients with RA.

Material and methods

This was an investigator-initiated, prospective, observational study. The study was performed on 30 RA patients (Caucasian, 11 male, 19 female; mean age 45 ±16 years) treated with TNF-α inhibitors. All patients were assessed before and after 6 months of therapy.
As a control group, age- and sex-matched, 20 healthy volunteers were recruited. Disease activity was evaluated by the Modified Disease Activity Score with 28-joint count (DAS28). Inflammatory markers were assessed routinely by the hospital central laboratory. Serum concentrations of kynu­renine, serotonin and tryptophan were measured with specific immunoassays. To estimate indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) activity, kynurenine-to-tryptophan ratio was calculated.

Results

The results of our study showed changes in tryptophan metabolism in RA patients, compared with healthy controls. Surprisingly, RA patients had statistically significant decreased kynu­renine-to-tryptophan ratio (p = 0.003), which could indicate diminished IDO activation in RA. Moreover, we found no significant changes in kynurenine-to-tryptophan ratio after treated with TNF-α inhibitors (p = 0.490), despite disease remission. Additionally, tryptophan metabolism activity did not correlate with objective markers of inflammation.

Conclusions

The RA patients had altered tryptophan metabolism, compared with healthy controls. The mechanisms affecting tryptophan metabolism in RA may be complex. We believe that continuing elucidation of pathophysiological pathways relevant in RA offer substantial hope for the development of specific pharmacotherapy for treatment of RA – especially for comorbidity of RA and depression.

“Sieves of Responsibility” - Connecting Failures of Genocide Prevention Failures and Geopolitical Interests to Atrocity in Nagorno-Karabakh
Authors:   Boston University, Hackett David
Published: August 2024

This article aims to contribute to both a legal and practical understanding of how international law dedicated to both genocide prevention and the cessation of genocidal atrocity failed during the 8-month long blockade of the Lachin Corridor—and the ensuing invasion and seizure of Nagorno-Karabakh over a 24-hour period by the Azerbaijani armed forces on 17 September 2024. The invasion led to the forced displacement of nearly the entire territory’s ethnically indigenous Artsakhtsi-Armenian population, amounting to a de facto deportation while escaping the threat of atrocity crimes. Through a discussion of (A) the events that preceded and led to the invasion of Nagorno-Karabakh itself, (B) an analysis of international law on genocide prevention through institutional mechanisms (i.e. UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, 1948) and military intervention (i.e. Responsibility to Protect/R2P doctrine), (C) the difficulties of engaging with these mechanisms at a general level, (D) the international community’s response to the seizure of Nagorno-Karabakh, and (E) the geopolitical conditions surrounding the South Caucasus and Nagorno-Karabakh crisis, this article aims to identify the failures of both legal mechanisms intended to prevent the cleansing of Nagorno-Karabakh and external actors (i.e. Russian peacekeeping forces legally stationed in the territory) to intervene and respond to the invasion in geopolitically turbulent conditions characterized by intersecting state interests.

Rangelands, as critical components of terrestrial ecosystems, play a pivotal role in supporting biodiversity and providing essential ecosystem services. The relationship between grazing activities and vegetation dynamics is a topic of ongoing research, with a focus on understanding how these interactions influence key physiological processes in dominant plant species. This study investigated the changes in photosynthetic pigments of rangeland Artemisia diffusa under varying sheep grazing intensities. Four different grazing intensities were imposed: initial, low, medium, and high. Sampling took place at regular intervals over the 2021-2022 year spring sezon to assess the temporal dynamics of photosynthetic pigments. The study focused on measuring changes in the concentration of key photosynthetic pigments, including chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll-b, and carotenoids, in selected Artemisia diffusa species over the grazing period. Our results showed a clear correlation between sheep grazing intensity and changes in photosynthetic pigment concentration. In general, Artemisia diffusa at initial and low intensities showed lower levels of chlorophyll a and b than those at moderate and high intensities. Carotenoid concentrations were also observed to change significantly and increase significantly at high sheep grazing intensities.

In 2006 rose cultivation in the municipalities of Tenancingo, Villa Guerrero and Coatepec Harinas covered an area of 415 ha, representing a significant production value equivalent to 688,722,450.00 pesos. This crop is attacked by white root rot disease, resulting in plant losses since control methods are ineffective. The objectives of this study were to identify the fungus species associated with white root rot disease in rose plants and evaluate its sensitivity to fungicides. Samples of plants with infected roots were collected in Tenancingo, Villa Guerrero and Coatepec Harinas in the State of Mexico, obtaining nine strains. The fungicides quintozene, benomyl, fluazinam and thiophanate methyl were evaluated at doses of 1 g.L1, 0.6 g.L-1, 0.5 ml.L-1 and 0.6 g.L-1, respectively. The fungus associated with white root rot disease presented mycelium with pyriform swellings before the septum; as symptoms, mycelial cords were found on the root and neck of the plant. The fungus was identified taxonomically as Rosellinia necatrix Prill. (Dematophora necatrix (Hart.) Berl.), which was confirmed by mole-cular analysis. The strains T1GRJ, T2GRJ and T3GRJ of Tenancingo and the strains VG1GRJ, VG2GRJ, VG3GRJ and VG4GRJ of Villa Guerrero were insensitive to the fungicide quintozene, while with the fungicides benomyl, thiophanate methyl and fluazinam no mycelial growth appeared. The strain T4GRJ of Tenancingo showed sensitivity to all fungicides. The strain CH1GRJ of Coatepec Harinas was insensitive to quintozene and presentedslight growth with fluazinam, while with benomyl and thiophanate methyl there was no growth.

This article assessed one objective derived from an unpublished master's thesis with the title "Factors Constraining the Effective Application of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Teaching and Learning Mathematics: Case Study of Selected Secondary Schools in Rwanda." The objective of this study was to investigate how mathematics teachers perceive the use of technological tools in teaching and learning mathematics. Gregory's constructivist theory of perception served as the anchor for the research. A case study research design was adopted. The research focused on secondary school mathematics teachers in 10 selected Rwandan schools. Purposive sampling was employed to choose 20 mathematics teachers. Primary data was obtained through open-ended questionnaires along with semi-structured interviews, and thematic analysis was employed for data analysis. Study outcomes indicated that perceptions of mathematics teachers' of embracing technological tools are formed by their familiarity with technology, confidence in adopting it, and the help they get in incorporating it into their teaching procedures. The study concluded that teachers ought to participate in Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programs aimed at technological tools to enhance confidence and boost their integration into teaching. According to research, school leaders should ensure access to the most up-to-date technological resources and offer customized training to facilitate effective technology adoption in mathematics teaching. The study further suggested that Rwanda Basic Education Board (REB) and the National Examination and Schools Inspection Authority (NESA) should enforce extensive training programs, avail more resources in essential technological infrastructure, and boost research and best practices to encourage innovation. Additional research should broaden its context to include different perspectives, evaluate the long-term impact of technological tools on student outcomes, and assess the effectiveness of professional development programs.

Published: August 2024

Esta revisão de literatura reuniu artigos publicados nos últimos cinco anos nas bases de dados PUBMED e SciELO objetivando revisar fisiopatologia, diagnóstico, tratamento, complicações e prognóstico relacionados à endocardite infecciosa. A endocardite infecciosa (EI) é uma infecção grave que afeta o endocárdio, incluindo as válvulas cardíacas, com alta morbidade e mortalidade. Geralmente causada por bactérias como Staphylococcus aureus e Streptococcus, a infecção ocorre quando um patógeno adere ao endocárdio previamente lesado, formando vegetações que podem causar embolias e insuficiência valvular. O diagnóstico baseia-se nos critérios de Duke, com ênfase em hemoculturas e ecocardiografia. O tratamento inclui antibioticoterapia prolongada e, frequentemente, intervenção cirúrgica para reparar ou substituir válvulas danificadas. Complicações como insuficiência cardíaca e embolização sistêmica são comuns e podem ser fatais. Avanços recentes em diagnóstico, como PCR e PET/CT, e o desenvolvimento de novos antimicrobianos, têm melhorado o manejo da EI. No entanto, a prevenção continua sendo crucial, especialmente em pacientes de alto risco, por meio de profilaxia antibiótica e higiene oral rigorosa. A abordagem multidisciplinar e o acompanhamento a longo prazo são essenciais para melhorar os desfechos e prevenir a recorrência da doença.

Os cuidados de neurodesenvolvimento neonatal são cruciais para bebês nascidos de mães com diabetes gestacional, uma condição que pode afetar o desenvolvimento cerebral e motor do recém-nascido. O diabetes gestacional é uma complicação da gravidez que aumenta o risco de alterações metabólicas e cardiovasculares no bebê, influenciando negativamente o neurodesenvolvimento. Bebês expostos a altos níveis de glicose intrauterina podem enfrentar dificuldades neurológicas, exigindo um acompanhamento especializado para mitigar potenciais déficits no desenvolvimento cognitivo e motor. Objetivo: Revisar sistematicamente a literatura sobre as diretrizes clínicas para os cuidados de neurodesenvolvimento neonatal em bebês nascidos de mães com diabetes gestacional, com foco em estratégias para otimizar o acompanhamento e o tratamento desses recém-nascidos. Metodologia: Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática utilizando o checklist PRISMA para assegurar a qualidade da análise. A busca foi conduzida nas bases de dados PubMed, SciELO e Web of Science. Utilizou-se uma combinação de cinco descritores: "neurodesenvolvimento neonatal", "diabetes gestacional", "cuidados neonatais", "complicações neonatais" e "intervenção precoce". Foram incluídos estudos publicados nos últimos 10 anos que abordaram diretrizes de tratamento e cuidados para recém-nascidos com histórico de exposição ao diabetes gestacional. Foram aplicados critérios de inclusão como: artigos revisados por pares, estudos focados em cuidados neonatais para bebês expostos ao diabetes gestacional e publicações de periódicos relevantes. Os critérios de exclusão foram: estudos que não abordaram especificamente o diabetes gestacional, artigos fora do escopo de neonatologia e pesquisas anteriores a 2014. Resultados: A revisão revelou que os cuidados de neurodesenvolvimento neonatal para bebês nascidos de mães com diabetes gestacional devem incluir monitoramento rigoroso das funções neurológicas, intervenções precoces para apoiar o desenvolvimento motor e cognitivo e a implementação de programas de acompanhamento multidisciplinar. Os principais tópicos identificados foram a importância da detecção precoce de problemas neurológicos, a necessidade de estratégias de intervenção precoce e o papel crucial de um acompanhamento contínuo para minimizar os efeitos adversos do diabetes gestacional sobre o neurodesenvolvimento. Conclusão: Os cuidados de neurodesenvolvimento neonatal para bebês nascidos de mães com diabetes gestacional devem ser orientados por diretrizes específicas que assegurem um monitoramento e intervenção precoces. A implementação dessas diretrizes pode melhorar significativamente o prognóstico neurológico e motor desses bebês, evidenciando a necessidade de uma abordagem coordenada e bem estruturada para a gestão desses casos.

Abstract. Peatlands, which only cover 3 to 5 percent of the global land area, can store up to twice the amount of carbon as the world’s forests. Although recognised for their significant role in the global carbon cycle, discovering the global extent of peatlands and their carbon stock remains challenging. Referring to the UNEP's global peatland map, here we present PEATGRIDS, a data product containing global maps of peat thickness and carbon stock created created using the digital soil mapping approach. We compiled over 25,000 observations of peatland thickness, bulk density (BD) and carbon content (CC), globally. Using the Random Forest (RF) algorithm, we estimated peat thickness and peat BD and CC at ~1 km resolution at multiple depths (0–2 m) globally. The estimates were generated using 19 land surface covariates from digital maps and remote sensing images of land use, soil characteristics, topographical features, and climate parameters. The RF models for peat thickness were trained on 25,200 points grouped into six geographic regions. Validation of the peat thickness estimates showed a good performance, with the coefficient of determination (R2) ranging from 0.15 to 0.72. The prediction for peat BD and CC followed the same model architecture and were trained on 17,000 and 7,000 points, respectively. Overall, BD and CC models performed well and consistently across soil layers with average R2 values of 0.61 for BD and 0.48 for CC. Based on the estimated peat thickness, BD and CC, the carbon stock of global peatland was estimated to be 1,029 Pg C for peat dominated area of 6.57 million km2. PEATGRIDS is made available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.12559239 (Widyastuti et al., 2024) to support further analyses and modelling of peatlands across the globe.

Published: August 2024

Apesar dos contos de fadas se consolidarem enquanto literatura infantil, eles também se integram ao repertório que nutre o imaginário coletivo, ganhando diversas versões ao longo do tempo, as quais são recriadas em diferentes linguagens, incluindo a esfera audiovisual. Nesse sentido, este estudo, de caráter bibliográfico, tem como objetivo principal realizar uma análise intersemiótica da tradução do conto Os Três Porquinhos, de Joseph Jacobs, para a série Conte-me uma História, produzida por Kevin Williamson. Além disso, buscamos investigar as particularidades inerentes à tradução intersemiótica, com o intuito de aprofundar a compreensão das complexas nuances envolvidas na transformação de significados entre distintos sistemas semióticos. Para isso, fundamentamos a abordagem teórica com base nas contribuições de Diniz (1999) e Brito (2006), a fim de explorar as dinâmicas complexas associadas à tradução intersemiótica de um texto literário para o meio audiovisual. Desse modo, observamos, por meio das análises realizadas, que a tradução intersemiótica do conto tradicional dos Três Porquinhos para a série Conte-me uma História ilustra a ausência de uma interpretação única do texto literário cabendo ao adaptador a tarefa de transpor o texto para a nova linguagem, conferindo-lhe novos significados.
