Preparation and Preliminary Evaluation of 68 Ga-Acridine: An Attempt to Study the Potential of Radiolabeled DNA Intercalator as a PET Radiotracer for Tumor Imaging
Authors: Ghosh Subhajit , Das Tapas , Suman Shishu K. , Sarma Haladhar D. , Dash Ashutosh
Published: May 2020

Introduction:

Acridine is a well-known DNA intercalator and thereby gets easily inserted within
DNA. As uncontrolled rapid cell division is one of the primary characteristics of the tumors, it is expected that
acridine or its suitable derivatives will have preferential accumulation in the tumorous lesions. Therefore, an
attempt was made to radiolabel an acridine derivative with 68Ga and study the potential of the 68Ga-acridine
complex as a PET agent for tumor imaging.

Methods:

9-aminoacridine was coupled with p-NCS-benzyl-DOTA to render it suitable for labeling with 68Ga.
The purified acridine-DOTA conjugate was radiolabeled with 68Ga, eluted from a 68Ge/68Ga radionuclide generator.
Various radiolabeling parameters were optimized and the stability of the radiolabeled preparation was
studied. The biological behavior of the 68Ga-acridine complex was studied both in vitro and in vivo using Raji
cell line and fibrosarcoma tumor bearing Swiss mice, respectively.

Results:

68Ga-acridine complex was obtained with ~100% radiochemical purity under the optimized reaction
conditions involving incubation of 2mg/mL of ligand at 100°C for 30 minutes. The complex maintained a radiochemical
purity of >95% in normal saline and >65% in human blood serum at 3h post-incubation. In vitro cellular
study showed (3.2±0.1)% uptake of the radiotracer in the Raji cells. Biodistribution study revealed significant
tumor accumulation [(11.41±0.41)% injected activity in per gram] of the radiotracer within 1h postadministration
along with uptake in other non-target organs such as, blood, liver, GIT kidney etc.

Conclusion:

The present study indicates the potential of 68Ga-acridine as a PET agent for imaging of tumorous
lesions. However, further detailed evaluation of the agent is warranted to explore its actual potential.
O campo jurídico e a formação do estado moderno à luz da teoria sociológica de Pierre Bourdieu
Authors: Santos Francisco Geraldo Matos , Domingues Ingrid Sousa
Published: May 2020

O presente texto é fruto de uma pesquisa bibliográfica em algumas das obras de Pierre Bourdieu, cujo fito consistiu em verificar a relação entre o Direito (ou campo jurídico) e a formação do Estado moderno. Para tanto, partiu-se da hipótese que o Direito esteve intrinsecamente ligado à formação do Estado, principalmente quando se depreende que o capital jurídico tende a universalizar determinados conceitos e princípios, que do ponto de vista comparativo, se relaciona com a análise objetiva das estruturas apresentadas por Bourdieu.

A sociologia do direito segundo Marx
Authors: Mello Marcelo Pereira de
Published: May 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir as concepções de Marx sobre o Direito, investigando a hipótese da existência de suporte teórico suficiente neste autor para considerarmos a existência de uma sociologia do direito marxiana. A discussão se justifica porque analistas de várias afiliações teóricas, como Weber, Luhmann e Habermas, por diferentes razões, acusam a sociologia de Marx de negligenciar o papel do Direito e, particularmente, o papel do Direito Positivo, tanto na estruturação da ação social quanto na manutenção da ordem nas sociedades complexas. Afirmamos pelo contrário que existe uma sociologia do direito em Marx, e pretendemos demonstrar a coerência interna dos postulados e a lógica do pensamento do autor sobre as relações jurídicas e seu significado nas sociedades segmentadas por classe. Os trabalhos de Marx que servirão de referência para a nossa discussão serão a Crítica da Filosofia do Direito de Hegel e A ideologia alemã.

Published: May 2020

Corona Virus is deadly spread out to thousands of healthy people and so strong as to infect to the surrounding people after people.  We must keep the deadly virus indoor as much as we can.  How?  We must not allow the indoor air already contaminated to leak out to the atmosphere, which will transmit to other people. The new virus is so strong and so fast to transmit, it will spread within a few seconds to thousands of people and became patients immediately. To solve the problem, we must build a pressure vessel to keep the virus inside the vessel and not to leak outside. It should be a negative pressure compare to the atmospheric pressure. Another words, is to keep the indoor pressure lower than atmospheric pressure, so the contaminated indoor pressure is lower than outdoor pressure. It is a part of a traditional HVAC operation. This article shows step by step procedures of HVAC system design procedures, with emphasis of the air duct system design. Care must be taken to keep close attention to the maintenance of the system.

Published: May 2020

In traditional farming, farmer has to visit the farming land regularly to measure the various environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, light intensity and soil moisture to cultivate the right crops at right time in right soil. Even though this traditional farming system have been used for years, the system is hectic and fail to prove high productivity rate as farmer usually unable to measure all the parameter accurately [1]. In contrast, greenhouse farming is a system where farmer cultivate crops in ecosystem environments where all environmental parameters are adjusted based on crops types. Automation in greenhouse is a method where farmer is able to monitor and control the greenhouse environment automatically from anywhere in the world any time [3]. In this paper, authors proposed an automated greenhouse monitoring and controlling system that incorporate various sensors such as temperature sensor, humidity sensor, light sensor and soil moisture sensor to collect possible environmental parameters of greenhouse as well as integrate Arduino Uno R3 (to store and process data), GSM module (to send the measured value of the various parameters to the user cell phone via SMS to ensure efficient growth of plants), solar power system with rechargeable battery (to make sure continuous power supply to the greenhouse system). Moreover, Internet of Things (IoT) is used to store data to a database and process the collected data and finally send the information to the android apps which has been developed for monitoring and controlling of greenhouse by the user. Moreover, the authors compared the proposed greenhouse model with some recent works and found the proposed system cost effective, efficient and effective by analyzing major environmental parameters. Finally, authors analyze the cost associated with the deployment of proposed greenhouse model which depict quite affordable for farmers and worth deploying.

The Intelligence Accountability Framework in Canada
Authors: Bordeleau Jean-Nicolas
Published: May 2020

The recurrence of intelligence operations has grown significantly since the beginning of the twenty-first century. This growing popularity has increased the need for public and legislative oversight as well as intelligence parliamentary review. The purpose of this paper is to critically assess the intelligence accountability framework in Canada. This assessment will argue that the expansion of intelligence capabilities in the late 20th and early 21st century has not been followed by an adequate expansion of the oversight and review framework. In order to support this argument, the paper will conduct a comparative analysis of the Five Eyes (FVEY) members and examine the evolution of Canadian intelligence accountability structures from the Cold War until 2020. The paper will conclude by proposing literature-supported changes to improve the oversight and review process.
The Inequitable Political Pillars of Canada’s Founding Nations
Authors: Gebert Philip T.
Published: May 2020

In conceptualising the Canadian federation and the driving force behind the state’s development, Peter H. Russel frames it as the conciliation of interests in the relationship between the three founding nations – Aboriginals, Anglophones, and Francophones. As the recent nation-wide demonstrations against the Coastal Link pipeline trespassing on Wet’suwet’en land has demonstrated, they are far from equal partners. The incident is indicative of a broader trend of the non-Aboriginal nations creating an environment that obstructs and disincentives Aboriginal participation in the daily functioning of Canadian society, politics being no exception. This exclusion is much to the detriment to the strength of Canadian society. Accordingly, this paper examines Aboriginal absenteeism from Canadian politics as to identify the obstacles to their meaningful political participation with the wider aim of aiding the redefining of the relationship between the founding nations that recognises the Aboriginal nation as an equal partner.

Published: May 2020

The optical emission spectrum of produced plasma was studied using pulse laser, where the effect of laser energy at a wavelength of 1064nm  was studied on lead oxide that produced by optical emission spectroscopy at different laser energy from 500 to 900 mJ. It was found that the intensity for Pb I and Pb II lines increase with increasing laser energy, but with different ratio, as a result increasing the excitation rate with increasing the number of falling photons. The wave length was recorded at highest laser Energy produced from Pb II which was equal to 666.02 nm. It can be seen that The height of peaks increase with increasing laser energy due to the effect of increasing the Electrical field induced by increasing Electrons density and the temperature of electron (Te) and electron density (ne) increase from 1.222×1018 cm-3 to 1.444×1018 cm-3 with increasing laser energy from  500 to 900 mJ respectively as a result of increasing number of falling photons which lead to increase in the electron density.

Miłość, błogosławieństwo, zdrada
Authors: Białowąs Anna Magdalena
Published: May 2020

Celem artykułu było ukazanie miłości, błogosławieństwa i zdrady jako głównych tematów 13. rozdziału Ewangelii Jana. Cel, jakim było przedstawienie wniosków teologicznych wypływających z Janowego opisu Ostatniej Wieczerzy, został zrealizowany poprzez analizę tekstu J 13,1-30 za pomocą hebrajskiej retoryki biblijnej. Metoda retoryczna, która skupia się przede wszystkim na wskazaniu relacji wewnątrz opracowywanego tekstu i między mniejszymi jednostkami, tworzącymi całościową kompozycję tekstu, pomaga pogłębić przesłanie, jakie autor ostatniej Ewangelii pragnął przekazać czytelnikowi.

Praca nad tekstem została przedstawiona w trzech syntetycznych punktach. Pierwszy punkt został poświęcony kompozycji tekstu oraz analizie jego mniejszych jednostek. Delimitacja, będąca etapem inicjalnym, pozwoliła wydzielić z 13. rozdziału Ewangelii Jana sekwencję zawartą w ww. 1-30. Kolejny podział wskazał siedem części, tworzących trzy fragmenty, których zależności zostały opisane w 2. podpunkcie. W ostatnim podpunkcie została ukazana całościowa kompozycja badanego tekstu i nadano tytuły utworzonym fragmentom na podstawie głównych tematów z nich wypływających.

Przeprowadzone badanie pozwoliło wyodrębnić z tekstu istotne wyrażenia i idee, które posłużyły jako punkt wyjścia do porównania ich z innymi miejscami w Piśmie Świętym, w których występują. Kontekst biblijny był niezbędnym etapem analizy, prowadzącym do interpretacji części przedstawionych w punkcie 1.

Punkt trzeci w całości poświęcony został wnioskom teologicznym zawartym w trzech głównych tematach sekwencji, tj. miłości, błogosławieństwu i zdradzie. W poszczególnych podpunktach wskazano znaczenie miłości i błogosławieństwa na tle Starego i Nowego Testamentu oraz przybliżono postać Judasza, jako tego, który zdradził Jezusa. Każdy z podpunktów został zakończony wnioskiem, ukazującym wpływ tych trzech rzeczywistości na teologię analizowanej jednostki.

We present the imaging and histopathological findings in a 32-year-old female who presented to the erectile dysfunction with progressively worsening abdominal pain over the past 2 months. Computed tomography abdomen and pelvis revealed bilateral ovarian teratomas, left significantly larger than right. There was associated fat stranding, mesenteric/omental stranding, and ascites worrisome for rupture versus peritoneal carcinomatosis. Histopathology confirmed a left immature teratoma (Grade 2), right mature teratoma, and peritoneal gliomatosis from possible tumor rupture before surgery.
External syringomyelia in longstanding benign foramen magnum tumors
Authors: Goel Aimee , Shah Abhidha Harshad , Vutha Ravikiran , Goel Atul
Published: May 2020

Background:

The effect of benign foramen magnum tumours on cranial and spinal dimensions and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces is unclear. In this study, we measured alterations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces in the spinal canal and in the posterior cranial fossa distant from the site of benign foramen magnum tumors.

Methods:

Twenty-nine magnetic resonance imaging scans of patients with foramen magnum tumors (8 meningiomas and 21 C2 neurinomas) were identified for radiological morphometric analysis and compared with normal control scans. The anterior-posterior distance between the pontomedullary junction and the clivus, the spinal canal diameter, spinal cord diameter, and cord-canal ratios were measured at the C6 and T2 levels.

Results:

The mean spinal canal diameter was significantly higher in tumor scans at both the C6 and T2 spinal levels than in controls (13.8 mm vs. 11.4 mm at C6; p<0.0001, and 12.9 mm vs. 11.9 mm at T2; P=0.01). Further, the mean cord:canal ratio was significantly lower in tumor scans at both levels (0.49 vs. 0.64 at C6; P<0.0001, and 0.45 vs. 0.54 at T2; P=0.0009). There was no significant difference in mean anteroposterior distance from the clivus to the pontomedullary junction (10.4 mm vs. 10.3 mm; P=0.91).

Conclusion:

In the presence of benign foramen magnum tumors, the spinal canal diameter and CSF volume in the spinal canal increased at the C6 and T2 levels, distant from the tumor site, a phenomenon we describe as “external syringomyelia”.
Optic nerve sheath meningioma endoscopic endonasal surgical management
Authors: Paredes Igor , Alén José Antonio Fernandez , García Alfredo , García Esther , Lagares Alfonso
Published: May 2020

Background:

Meningiomas of the optic sheath have been traditionally treated with radiotherapy, among other reasons, because of the poor results in terms of visual preservation of the open surgical approaches.

Case Description:

Two cases of optic nerve meningioma were operated through an endoscopic endonasal expanded approach due to rapidly progressing visual deterioration and doubtful diagnosis. In the first case an exclusively bone decompression was performed. In the second one a partial resection of the intradural portion and complete opening of the dural sheath was undertaken. In both cases visual acuity remained stable without further treatment for the 2 years follow up.

Conclusions:

Endoscopic endonasal decompression of the optic nerve by removal of the optic canal and opening of the optic sheath is safe. This approach is feasible for optic sheath meningioma. This treatment might be considered as an option in patients with rapidly deteriorating visual acuity.
Can early cranioplasty reduce the incidence of hydrocephalus after decompressive craniectomy? A meta-analysis
Authors: Nasi Davide , Dobran Mauro
Published: May 2020

Background:

Do alterations of cerebrospinal fluid dynamics secondary to decompressive craniectomy (DC) lead to hydrocephalus, and can this effect be mitigated by early cranioplasty (CP)? In this meta-analysis, we evaluated whether the timing of CP decreased the incidence of postoperative hydrocephalus.

Methods:

We performed a systematic search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and the Cochrane databases using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for English language articles (1990–2020). We included case series, case–control, and cohort studies, and clinical trials assessing the incidence of hydrocephalus in adult patients undergoing early CP (within 3 months) versus late CP (after 3 months) after DC.

Results:

Eleven studies matched the inclusion criteria. The rate of postoperative hydrocephalus was not significantly different between the early (=96/1063; 9.03%) and late CP (=65/966; 6.72%) group (P = 0.09). Only in the three studies specifically reporting on the rate of hydrocephalus after DC performed to address traumatic brain injury (TBI) alone was there a significantly lower incidence of hydrocephalus with early CP (P = 0.01).

Conclusion:

Early CP (within 90 days) after DC performed in TBI patients alone was associated with a lower incidence of hydrocephalus. However, this finding was not corroborated in the remaining eight studies involving CP for pathology exclusive of TBI.
