Authors: AlShibli Fadhil H. , A. Alrazzaq Ayad A. Alhaleem
Published: September 2022

Rock failure during drilling is an important problem to be solved in petroleum technology. one of the most causes of rock failure is shale chemical interaction with drilling fluids. This interaction is changing the shale strength as well as its pore pressure relatively near the wellbore wall. In several oilfields in southern Iraq, drilling through the Tanuma formation is known as the most challenging operation due to its unstable behavior. Understanding the chemical reactions between shale and drilling fluid is determined by examining the features of shale and its behavior with drilling mud. Chemical interactions must be mitigated by the selection of suitable drilling mud with effective chemical additives. This study is describing the laboratory methods that concern testing and evaluating the shale instability encountered while drilling operations. The cutting samples are collected from the targeted formation and used to categorize shale reactivity levels and the required additives to inhibit the clay instability. These tests include the descriptive method with the various analytical technique of standard laboratory equipment. The shale testing techniques are the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-ray Diffraction, X-ray Fluorescence, Cation-Exchange, Capacity (CEC), and Capillary Suction Timer test (CST). Also, Linear swelling meter test (LSM) was performed to enhance the development plan. Tanuma formation contains moderately active clay with the presence of microfractures and micropores in its morphology. And it is controllable by using polymer muds with 8 % of inorganic inhibitor (e.g., KCL), filtration controls additives, and poly amino acid hydration suppressant which showed minimum swelling percentage.

STATE OF ORAL HYGIENE, RATE OF SALIVATION AND VISCOSITY OF ORAL LIQUID IN 3-6 YEARS OLD AGED CHILDREN, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE DEGREE OF CARIES ACTIVITY
Authors: Kaskova L.F. , Sadovski M.O.
Published: September 2022

Oral fluid performs a number of important functions: mineralizing, protective, cleansing, creating an optimal environment for the functioning of the hard tissues of the teeth. Research results show that the condition of the oral cavity, its biophysical and biochemical indicators provide information on the general resistance of the body. The possibility of complicating both dental diseases and somatic pathology at the expense of each other has been proven, that is, there is a mutual aggravation. The indicators were studied taking into account the age of the children and the degree of caries activity in them. 335 children aged 3-6 years were examined. Oral hygiene index according to Fedorov-Volodkina was determined in each age period and taking into account the degree of caries activity. Thus, children without caries and children with a compensated degree of caries activity in all age groups had a satisfactory state of oral hygiene. A comparison of 3-year-old children, but of different groups by the degree of caries activity, did not reveal a probable difference in the state of hygiene. And in 4, 5, and 6-year-olds with subcompensated and decompensated levels of caries activity, a probable difference in the state of oral hygiene was revealed. We observe a significant increase in the hygiene index in the entire group of children aged 3-6 years, respectively, with an increase in the Decay Extracted Filling index (р < 0,01; р < 0,001). The rate of salivation in the examined children of all groups corresponded to the norm or was at the level of slight hyposalivation. During the examination, a significant decrease in the numerical values of the salivary rate was found in children with subcompensated and decompensated caries activity compared to healthy children and with compensated caries activity. Studying the viscosity index of oral fluid, a probable increase in the index was established in children with subcompensated and decompensated levels of caries activity compared to healthy children in each age group. In children with a decompensated degree of caries activity, the highest index of oral fluid viscosity was found in each age group.

The results of the examination showed a significant deterioration of oral hygiene in children with various degrees of caries activity compared to children without caries. The rate of saliva secretion is also likely to decrease, and the viscosity of the oral fluid increases as the caries situation in the oral cavity worsens in all age groups. Considering the multifactorial etiology of caries, it is necessary to continue the study of the relationship between the occurrence of caries in children, taking into account the influence of oral fluid and morphological features of the occlusal surface on the state of resistance of the hard tissues of the teeth.

Published: September 2022

One of the main barriers to reaping the full benefits of prescription medications is known to be poor or non-adherence to treatment regimens. Many prescription drugs significantly lose effectiveness when patients don't follow the recommended treatment plan. Adherence problems are grave difficulties that have terrible effects on the patient and the healthcare system under discussion. Therefore, to stop the situation from getting worse, patients, healthcare professionals, and other stakeholders must work together.

Published: September 2022

Hypogonadism in male patients with chronic renal failure and diabetes mellitus has been known separately; up to now, the effect of these two diseases together on testosterone deficiency and the impact of testosterone deficiency on metabolic values have not been known precisely, therefore in this study we aimed to investigate testosterone deficiency in patients with diabetes mellitus and chronic renal failure. Eighty-seven chronic renal failure patients and 45 control patients who were followed at endocrinology and nephrology clinics were included in the study. After exclusion criteria, the patients were divided into two groups according to diabetes mellitus status. Groups were compared according to testosterone levels. Testosterone deficiency and good groups were compared to blood glucose, Hba1c, and lipid profile levels. The mean age of 87 CRF patients and 45 people in the control group were similar (59.85 ± 9.99 and 56.67 ± 8.56, respectively, p= 0.16). Testosterone deficiency was 24.1% (21/87) in CRF group and 8.8% (4/45) in control group (p= 0.04). The total testosterone levels were notably lower in the diabetic-CRF patients, 3.44 ± 1.3 vs. 4.26 ± 1.46 mg/dl (p= 0.02). The testosterone deficient CRF group had higher blood glucose and HbA1c according to the testosterone sufficient group. (161.20 ± 61.24 mg/dl vs 133.25 ± 59.87 mg/dl blood glucose, p= 0.04 and 7.54 ± 1.46 vs 6.79 ± 1.14 % HbA1c, p= 0.04). Serum triglyceride and LDL levels did not significantly change between groups (p= 0.20 and 0.76, respectively). Testosterone deficiency in male CRF patients is not uncommon. Male patients with both T2DM and CRF have more common testosterone deficiency. In testosterone-sufficient patients, blood glucose regulation was better. Therefore, in these patients, it may be helpful not to neglect testosterone deficiency, which affects gonadal function, body metabolism, and cardiac and skeletal health.

Considering the importance of citriculture for the country, this segment of Brazilian agribusiness faces phytosanitary problems that affect quantity and quality of the fruits, reducing nutritional and market values. Fungi are considered the main cause of fruit losses in the post-harvest, and the main diseases that affect citrus are: blue mold (Penicillium italicum), green mold (P. digitatum) and sour rot (Geotrichum citri-aurantii). Chemical control using Imazalil is the most effective method for controlling molds, however, its excessive and indiscriminate use has led to the proliferation of resistant strains, in addition to the persistence of residues of this fungicide on the fruits. Although the fungicides guazatine and propiconazole control the sour rot, they are only registered in countries in Europe, South Africa and Australia. Our review deals with the use of yeasts as biological control agents as an alternative to chemical control, covering: (i) their main mechanisms of action, such as competition for space and nutrients; (ii) production of siderophores; (iii) biofilm formation; (iv) production of antifungal compounds, hydrolytic enzymes and killer toxin; (v) mycoparasitism; and (vi) resistance induction. In addition, procedures for the development and registration of bioproducts are presented and discussed. KEYWORDS: Geotrichum citri-aurantii, mechanisms of action, Penicillium

BACKGROUND: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are musculoskeletal conditions involving masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joints. Bibliometric analysis has been introduced as a new method for collecting and analyzing information on scientific articles. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify the 50 most cited articles on TMD, performing a bibliometric analysis of the identified papers to favor research and clinical practice. METHODS: On December 17, 2021 a systematic research was performed to find all papers on TMD published in the literature. The Incites Journal Citation Reports dataset and Scopus database was used to obtain bibliometric indexes of the authors and metrics data of the journals, including Impact Factor, Eigenfactor Score, and Normalized Eigenfactor. VOSviewer was used to visualize the keyword mapping networking, with the nodes standing for keywords and the edges for keyword relationships. RESULTS: Out of 24372 papers obtained by the search strategy, the 50 most cited articles on TMD were analyzed. The paper with the highest number of citations (n= 3020) was on TMD research diagnostic criteria. Rate of citations per year collected by the 50 most cited articles on TMD has been increasing over time (from 627 in 2006 to 1483 in 2021). Most of them were cross-sectional studies (n= 20; 40.0%) and narrative reviews (n= 14; 28.0%). CONCLUSION: This bibliometric study showed an increasing number of citations for articles on TMD, testifying a high interest in the last years. Starting from this analysis, future studies might provide high-quality evidence on TMD management.

Published: September 2022

In China the number of accidents and deaths in construction industry is increasing rapidly in recent years. Cause analysis is important to reveal the main factors contributing to the accidents, and therefore improve the safety mechanism for accident reduction in future. In this paper, 653 construction safety accidents in China which are fully investigated and formulated by a set of country-specific factors are used as the source data of potential causal relationships among the factors. By utilizing association rules a total of 13 main factors contributing to accident causation are explored, and 9 factors significantly impacting on the severity of accidents are identified. The discovered association rules offer scientific grounds for Chinese construction safety management and decision support. The novelty of this study is to present a different perspective during cause analysis in which the factors impacting the construction site safety and the consequences of construction accidents are revealed respectively.

Published: September 2022

Background: Amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), a prodromal phase of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), is characterized by episodic memory dysfunction, but inhibitory deficits have also been commonly reported. Time of day (TOD) effects have been confirmed in 1) healthy aging on cognitive processes such as inhibitory control, and 2) on behavior in AD (termed the sundowning effect), but no such research has addressed aMCI. Objective: The present study examined the impact of TOD on the behavioral and electrophysiological correlates of inhibition in 54 individuals with aMCI and 52 healthy controls (HCs), all of morning chronotype. Methods: Participants were randomly assigned to complete two inhibition tasks (Go-NoGo and Flanker) during their optimal (morning) or non-optimal (evening) TOD, while electroencephalography was recorded. Results: Both tasks elicited changes in N2 and P3 event-related potential (ERP) components, which commonly index inhibitory functioning. Analyses showed that the Go-NoGo difference in P3 amplitude was reduced in individuals with aMCI relative to HCs. Compared to HCs, the Flanker difference in P3 amplitude was also reduced and coincided with more errors in the aMCI group. Notably, these behavioral and ERP differences were exaggerated in the non-optimal TOD relative to the optimal TOD. Conclusion: Findings confirm the presence of inhibition deficits in aMCI and provide novel evidence of sundowning effects on inhibitory control in aMCI. Results reinforce the need to consider the influences of TOD in clinical assessments involving individuals with aMCI.

Background: As an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI), Huperzine-A (Hup-A) is marketed for treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD) for decades in China. However, Hup-A causes some side effects. To search for new analogs or derivatives of Hup-A, we produced five Lycopodium alkaloids and two analogues by chemical synthesis: Lyconadins A-E, H-R-NOB, and 2JY-OBZ4. Objective: To systematically evaluate the therapeutic effects of the seven compounds on AD cell models. Methods: We assessed the effects of the seven compounds on cell viability via CCK-8 kit and used HEK293-hTau cells and N2a-hAPP cells as AD cell models to evaluate their potential therapeutic effects. We examined their effects on cholinesterase activity by employing the mice primary neuron. Results: All compounds did not affect cell viability; in addition, Lyconadin A and 2JY-OBZ4 particularly increased cell viability. Lyconadin D and Lyconadin E restored tau phosphorylation at Thr231, and H-R-NOB and 2JY-OBZ4 restored tau phosphorylation at Thr231 and Ser396 in GSK-3β-transfected HEK293-hTau cells. 2JY-OBZ4 decreased the level of PP2Ac-pY307 and increased the level of PP2Ac-mL309, supporting that 2JY-OBZ4 may activate PP2A. Lyconadin B, Lyconadin D, Lyconadin E, H-R-NOB, and 2JY-OBZ4 increased sAβPPα level in N2a-hAPP cells. 2JY-OBZ4 decreased the levels of BACE1 and sAβPPβ, thereby reduced Aβ production. Seven compounds exhibited weaker AChE activity inhibition efficiency than Hup-A. Among them, 2JY-OBZ4 showed the strongest AChE inhibition activity with an inhibition rate of 17% at 10μM. Conclusion: Among the seven Lycopodium compounds, 2JY-OBZ4 showed the most expected effects on promoting cell viability, downregulating tau hyperphosphorylation, and Aβ production and inhibiting AChE in AD.
