Apoptosis and Autophagy: Therapeutic Implications in Cancer
Authors: Halder Kalpataru
Published: March 2024

Despite the advances in the medical field so far, cancer remains a global health priority even now. Considering the drug resistance and the failure of cancer therapies to achieve complete eradication of cancer cells in certain populations, developing molecules that induce programmed cell death or apoptosis has been the focus of cancer research for several decades. Apoptosis evasion is one of the hallmarks of cancer cells, and efforts continue to achieve complete annihilation of cancer cells through selective killing. On the other hand, autophagy, a mode of cell degradation, is considered a double-edged sword. Recent studies show that autophagy also can be manipulated to selectively target cancer cells based on the tumor microenvironment and cellular context. Studies show that autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process initiated during stress response and has enormous importance in maintaining physiological balance. Most importantly, the dynamic equilibrium between apoptosis and autophagy is crucial in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Although a ‘cell eating’ process, the fate of autophagic cells depends entirely on the nature of stress and the extent of crosstalk between autophagy. This understanding is of immense significance when designing therapeutic interventions targeting apoptosis and autophagy.  Currently, several studies are ongoing to gain insights into the role of autophagy in cancer initiation, invasion, progression, angiogenesis, and metastasis.  This review focuses on the two major cell death mechanisms, apoptosis and autophagy, in the context of cancer, their crosstalk, and the therapeutic interventions targeting both modes of cell death.
Fenugreek Seed Extract Mitigates MSG-Induced Uterine Dysfunction in Rats through Enhanced Antioxidative Defense Mechanisms
Authors: Mondal Mukti , Sarkar Kaushik , Paul Goutam
Published: March 2024

To assess the mitigating effectiveness of fenugreek seed extract in MSG-induced suppression of uterine function in rats, the effects of MSG in combination with fenugreek seed extract on the oxidative stress variables in the uterus and histo-architectural changes in the uterus have been studied and compared with the results obtained in the uterus in MSG-treated and control groups of rats. The study investigated the impact of MSG in conjunction with fenugreek seed extract on uterine function and oxidative stress. Female virgin albino rats were distributed  into seven groups (Control, Treated I, Treated II, Treated III, Treated I+ Fenugreek seed extract, Treated II+ Fenugreek seed extract, Treated III+ Fenugreek seed extract) and subjected to thirty-day and forty-day of treatment via oral gavage. Despite no significant changes in mean body weight observed in MSG and fenugreek seed extract combination groups compared to the control, a notable counteraction was observed in the results obtained from rats exposed to MSG alone. This implies a possible protective function of fenugreek seed extract against oxidative stress in the uterus caused by MSG. Rats that received MSG in combination with fenugreek seed extract in their uterine tissue homogenate showed negligible changes in the activities of SOD, CAT, GR, GPx, GST, and MDA production when compared to the control group. Additionally, when comparing the MSG-exposed groups compare to control groups, a noteworthy decline in the activities of SOD, CAT, GR, and GPx and an increase in the activity of GST and MDA production were noted. When MSG was applied in conjunction with fenugreek seed extract for both treatment durations, no discernible histo-architectural alterations in the uterus were seen compared to the uterine tissues of the control groups of rats. Thus, it can be inferred from the findings that fenugreek seed extract significantly mitigated the oxidative stress and histo-architectural changes in rat uterine tissues caused by MSG.
Metal-Based Drugs in Cancer Therapy
Authors: Nath Sourav , Datta Abhijit , Das Arijit , Adhikari Suman
Published: March 2024

Metal-based drugs have emerged as pivotal therapeutics in cancer therapy, enlightening a path toward innovative and effective treatment strategies. Platinum-based therapeutics, notably cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin, have transformed the landscape of cancer treatment, setting the stage for the development of next-generation metal-based compounds. Delving into the principles governing the design of metal-based drugs, this article navigates through their intricate coordination chemistry, targeted delivery approaches, and mechanisms of action. Notably, metal-based compounds form covalent bonds with DNA, disrupting vital cellular processes and inducing apoptosis in cancerous tissues. Even though contemporary chemotherapy as well as radiotherapeutic methods have greatly increased patient survival rates, disease recurrence still represents a fatal danger. The probability of metastasis and the drug resistance are increased by the incomplete clearance of neoplastic tissues from the body. This review explores the compelling journey of metal-based compounds, from their historical significance in ancient remedies to their pivotal role in modern oncology, and also discusses the recent advancements and emerging trends that promise to shape the future of metallodrugs. The shining promise of metal-based drugs in cancer remedies holds the potential to revolutionize treatment paradigms, offering hope and resilience in the ongoing battle against one of humanity's most relentless adversaries.

Могильники постгуннского времени в каньоне Каракабак (Мангистау): раскопки 2023 года
Authors: Астафьев Андрей Евгеньевич , Богданов Евгений Сергеевич , Жамбулатов Кайрат Абаевич
Published: March 2024

Статья посвящена результатам новых исследований, проведённых на могильниках постгуннского времени № 1, 3 и 7, расположенных в каньоне Каракабак. Рядом с некрополем, на вершине чинка, раскинулось одноименное поселение городского типа, являвшееся портово-ремесленным центром и одновременно торговой факторией, обеспечивающей функционирование сухопутно-водного торгового пути, соединяющего «Запад» и «Восток». Работы предыдущих лет показали, что население городища Каракабак являлось не однородным по своему этническому составу. По всей видимости, значительная часть городской среды придерживалась зороастрийских традиций и для отправления погребального обряда использовала ритуально-погребальный комплекс Алтынказган, расположенный в 12 км в глубь степной зоны. Другая часть жителей городища (о чём свидетельствуют последние исследования) оставалась верна кочевническим традициям, используя устоявшийся обряд погребения (индивидуальные подкурганные захоронения, северная ориентировка, могильные ямы узкой прямоугольной формы и с подбойной нишей под восточной или западной стенкой, деформация черепной коробки) сформированный в позднесарматской среде Южного Приуралья ещё во 2-й пол. II в. н.э. Изученные сплошным раскопом группы объектов имеют ряд особенностей: 1. это использование рядом с погребальным сооружением ритуальной кольцевой выкладки; 2. в подкурганных каменных насыпях были выявлены погребения только женщин и детей-подростков. Найденный сопроводительный инвентарь соответствует так называемому «шиповскому горизонту» металлических изделий, полные аналогии которых также встречаются на городище Каракабак и ритуально-поминальном комплексе Алтынказган. Изученные погребения датируются в пределах конца. V – сер. VI в.
Детские захоронения Бирского грунтового могильника: проблема идентификации и новейшие данные
Authors: Русланова Рида Раисовна
Published: March 2024

Бирский грунтовый могильник – знаковый памятник Западного Приуралья (Уфимско-Бельское междуречье) сер. I тыс. н.э. В данной статье рассматриваются детские погребения. Отсутствие антропологического анализа останков приводит к тому, что мы апеллируем данными (категориями «дети», «ребенок»), указанными руководителем раскопок 1958–1991 гг. Н.А. Мажитовым в научной документации. Остеологический материал, полученный автором статьи в 2017, 2021, 2023 гг., был обработан антропологами и возрастной диапазон останков определён точнее, дополнительно был проведён секвенированный анализ детского захоронения. На основе анализа определено, что дети, выделяемые социумом в общественной деятельности, не имели особых отличительных черт в устройстве могильных ям для них и в составе погребального инвентаря. Возможно, имелось отличие в совершении погребально-поминальной обрядности.
Некоторые размышления о восточноевропейских и центральноазиатских боевых оголовьях эпохи ранних кочевников
Authors: Скорый Сергей Анатольевич
Published: March 2024

Среди защитного вооружения раннескифского времени бронзовые литые шлемы так называемого кубанского типа занимают особое место. Несомненно, они являются одним из индикаторов скифской материальной культуры эпохи архаики. Вместе с тем число таких шлемов невелико: в Восточной Европе и на Северном Кавказе сейчас известно лишь 18 экз., при этом условия обнаружения трёх из них неясны. Из остальных артефактов – половина найдена в погребениях раннескифской поры, прежде всего Прикубанья, иная половина – случайные находки. Все названные шлемы имеют полусферическую форму. Вместе с тем в Азии, в том числе – Центральной (Узбекистан, Казахстан, Кыргызстан, Монголия), также известен ряд литых бронзовых шлемов, к сожалению, случайных находок (6 экз.). Одни из них подобной полусферической формы, другие – полусферо-конические. И первые, и вторые имеют несомненные элементы сходства со шлемами так называемого кубанского типа в Восточной Европе, прежде всего – на Северном Кавказе. В статье рассматривается, в той или иной мере, ряд актуальных вопросов: генезис литых бронзовых шлемов, хронология, возможные центры производства, механизм распространения в евразийском ареале. Обосновывается версия о синхронности восточноевропейских скифских и центральноазиатских сакских шлемов, основное время бытования которых VII в. до  н.э. При этом восточноевропейские шлемы являются вторичными по отношению к центральноазиатским. Сакские шлемы генетически восходят к литым китайским шлемам эпохи Западного Чжоу (А.В. Варёнов). У скифов сходный доспех появился в ходе контактов с саками, принимавшими участие, наряду с иными кочевыми племенами Евразии, в походах в Переднюю и Малую Азию. На Северном Кавказе, несомненно, был центр производства литых бронзовых шлемов, равно как и в Центральной Азии. Термин литые шлемы «кубанского» типа, применительно ко всему евразийскому региону, не точен и не историчен. Видимо, правильнее использовать иные наименования. Для Азии: сакские бронзовые литые шлемы эпохи архаики. Для Восточной Европы: скифские бронзовые литые шлемы эпохи архаики.

Language support programs and international student academic success: Evaluating evidence and identifying gaps
Authors: Fadeke Adeola Atobatele  , Percy Chris Kpodo  , Isabel Obiageli Eke
Published: March 2024

This concept paper delves into the pivotal role of language support programs, particularly English as a Second Language (ESL), in enhancing the academic success of international students. It conducts a comprehensive review of existing literature to evaluate the effectiveness of these programs, identifies critical gaps in current research, and proposes avenues for future exploration to bolster the efficacy of language support services. The academic success of international students is contingent upon their ability to effectively communicate and comprehend course materials in a language that may not be their native tongue. Language support programs, notably ESL, play a crucial role in bridging linguistic barriers and facilitating meaningful engagement with academic content. However, the effectiveness of these programs varies widely, prompting the need for a thorough evaluation. Through an extensive examination of available evidence, this paper identifies both strengths and limitations within current language support initiatives. While some programs exhibit promising outcomes in improving language proficiency and academic performance, others fall short in adequately addressing the diverse needs of international student populations. Moreover, there is a notable dearth of research addressing specific factors influencing the effectiveness of language support programs, such as instructional methodologies, cultural considerations, and institutional support structures. The identified gaps underscore the necessity for further research to refine and optimize language support services for international students. Future investigations should aim to elucidate the nuanced interactions between language proficiency, cultural adaptation, and academic achievement. Additionally, there is a pressing need to explore innovative approaches, technologies, and pedagogical strategies to enhance the accessibility and effectiveness of language support programs. This concept paper serves as a foundation for advancing scholarship in the realm of language support for international students. By critically evaluating current evidence, identifying research gaps, and proposing avenues for future exploration, it aims to foster a deeper understanding of the role of language support programs in promoting the academic success and holistic development of international student populations.

Introduction: Physical inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle are directly linked to childhood obesity. Bad eating habits and genetic predisposition are possible factors related to its appearance. Childhood obesity has tripled in the last 3 decades. More than 340 million children worldwide are categorized as overweight or obese Childhood obesity can affect the self-esteem of young obese individuals and lead to long-term serious psychological and social consequences. Purpose: The purpose of this bibliographical review is to highlight the physical therapy intervention in the quality of life in obese children and adolescents and its interaction with other therapeutic interventions. Methodology: The search was done in MEDLINE / Pubmed, Cochrane, Embase, Scopus Studies had to be clinical studies and refer to quality of life and the use of physical therapy in obese children and adolescents. Based on the above criteria, 18 articles emerged and after applying the selection criteria, 4 articles were selected. Discussion – Conclusion: Physical therapy with therapeutic exercise programs can be a key factor in improving the respiratory function and quality of life of people suffering from obesity. Physical therapists currently provide little input into the management of children who are overweight or obese, despite having a skill set appropriate for working with this population. Physiotherapy helps to support the mobility of obese children by increasing their physical health and quality of life. There is little detail about how to get obese children "physically active" in a way that is appropriate for their development and ability.

The paper provides information on alien mammal species occurring in the territory of the Dnipro–Oril Nature Reserve. The data were collected during annual mammal surveys and by compiling the data provided in the Chronicles of Nature of previous years (1991–2022) within the framework of the scientific topic ‘Study of biodiver-sity, structure and dynamics of natural complexes of the Dnipro–Oril Nature Re-serve.’ Since the creation of the reserve, 44 species of mammals belonging to six orders (Leporiformes, Muriformes, Soriciformes, Vespertilioniformes, Caniformes, and Cerviformes) have been recorded in its territory. The species diversity of mammals of the reserve corresponds to 71% of the mammal fauna of Dniprope-trovsk Oblast and 34% of the mammal fauna of Ukraine. Most of the mammal species found in the reserve are indigenous but the raccoon dog Nyctereutes procy-onoides, muskrat Ondatra zibethicus, and sika deer Cervus nippon, which are arti-ficially introduced species. In addition, the brown rat Rattus norvegicus and the house mouse Mus musculus are distant invaders. The beech marten Martes foina, Blyth’s pipistrelle Pipistrellus lepidus, and serotine bat Eptesicus serotinus are close invaders. Alien species make up 18% of the mammal fauna of the reserve, being represented by a total of eight species. However, there are also species with fluctuating ranges in the studied area: European roe deer Capreolus capreolus, elk Alces alces, Eurasian otter Lutra lutra, Eurasian badger Meles meles, and wild boar Sus scrofa. The periodic contraction and expansion of their ranges within the region makes them similar to introduced species. The presence of the majority of adventive species was registered during the first inventory of the fauna of the described territory during the establishment of the reserve in 1991. However, the first sighting of serotine bat occurred in March 2013 in the floodplain part of the reserve, and the sighting of Blyth’s pipistrelle in the reserve was recorded in the spring of 2016. The article describes the specifics of the existence of alien mammal species in the reserve. The dynamics of abundance, population structure, diet, and environmental impact are presented. Other adventive species that could possibly be found in this territory in the near future are the American mink Neogale vison and golden jackal Canis aureus. A case of visual observation of the coypu Myocastor coypus in the vicinity of the reserve is also presented.

The aim of this study was to investigate the age structure and reproductive strategy of the lesser white-toothed shrew (Crocidura suaveolens Pallas 1811) population in the Askania-Nova Biosphere Reserve, Ukraine. The age structure of the population of this shrew species was studied in the protected steppe based on specimens collected in 1980–1986. The lesser white-toothed shrew is one of the most abundant species of small mammals in the reserve and a key species of the family Soricidae, which is the main consumer of the local mesofauna. In some periods, its population reaches an abundance of 200–300 individuals per hectare. To determine the age of individuals, we used the degree of tooth wear. The first multicusped tooth of the upper jaw (Pm4) was chosen for age estimation. The ratio of the height of the paracone to its width was used to level out individual variability. An attempt was made to find a correspondence between the relative value of the dental index and the absolute age of the individuals. This was based on the assumption that individuals with the weakest tooth wear (mean index 0.92) correspond to the age of early independent life, i.e. one month. Based on the analysis of the available data, it was found that the rate of decrease in the dental index was 0.026 per 10 days. Pregnant animals were found at the age of 45 days or less, which corresponds to the data of other authors. Based on the data obtained, individuals older than nine months were not captured (dental index mostly 0.26). In the Askania-Nova steppe, the breeding season of the lesser white-toothed shrew mostly begins in April and ends by the first half of October. However, single cases of breeding were recorded beyond this period. In early January, a one-month-old individual was caught. In May, catches of lesser white-toothed shrews aged about five months were recorded. In early July, two individuals aged 6.5 and 7 months were caught. In May, young animals accounted for about half of the captures. By mid-summer, overwintered animals were no longer found. The last cases of catching old animals were noted in the second half of June and early July. The study shows a distinct age structure dynamics of the population of the lesser white-toothed shrew during the year, which is determined by seasonal changes in the reproduction of the population under the conditions of the Askania-Nova protected steppe.

Rodents are essential components of many terrestrial ecosystems and have several beneficial activities in nature, such as soil aeration and insect control, however, rodents are also sources of zoonotic pathogens. As pests they are known to be reservoirs of tick-borne zoonotic infections of viral, bacterial and protozoan origin, and are important hosts of the immature stages of Ixodes ticks. Recent studies in Europe have demonstrated the role of rodents, especially Sylvaemus mice and Myodes voles, in the epidemiology of tick-borne bacterial zoonoses, such as Lyme borreliosis and anaplasmosis. In particular, the yellow-necked mouse, Sylvaemus tauricus (Pallas, 1811; syn.: Apodemus flavicollis (Melchior, 1834)), supports the transmission of the most important pathogens carried by the castor bean tick, Ixodes ricinus. Using a species distribution modelling approach, an assessment was carried out of the probability of presence of the yellow-necked mouse in different parts of Ukraine and a search accomplished to find effective environmental factors that play roles in its distribution. We considered this task important given the ecological and epidemiological significance of this particular rodent species and the urgency of the problem exacerbated by Russia’s armed aggression in Ukraine. Results showed a broad potential for the distribution of the species in the western and central parts of Ukraine, and in the Crimea. Areas predominantly in western and central Ukraine, and in the Crimea, are highly favourable for the mouse, whereas in the south and, to a smaller scale, in the easternmost part of the country they are the least favourable. Amongst the bioclimatic environmental factors that play roles in shaping the species’ niche are the ones that are fully or mostly temperature-related (for instance, annual mean temperature, continentality, etc.). Other factors in a declining order of their roles are associated with soil and land cover features, cloud frequency and standardised human impact. A moderate, though statistically significant, correlation has been found between the distribution of the Lyme disease agent Borrelia burgdorferi s. l. and predicted habitat suitability values for S. tauricus.
