Published: September 2023

Background and Objectives: Diabetes can cause various vascular complications. The Compounded Danshen-Dripping-Pill (CDDP) is widely used in China. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness and safety of CDDP in the blood viscosity (BV) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Materials and Methods: We conducted a systematic search of seven databases from their inception to July 2022 for randomized controlled trials that used CDDP to treat T2DM. To evaluate BV, we measured low shear rate (LSR), high shear rate (HSR), and plasma viscosity (PV). Homocysteine and adiponectin levels were also assessed as factors that could affect BV. Results: We included 18 studies and 1532 patients with T2DM. Meta-analysis revealed that CDDP significantly reduced LSR (mean difference [MD] −2.74, 95% confidence interval [CI] −3.77 to −1.72), HSR (MD −0.86, 95% CI −1.08 to −0.63), and PV (MD −0.37, 95% CI −0.54 to −0.19) compared to controls. CDDP also reduced homocysteine (MD −8.32, 95% CI −9.05 to −7.58), and increased plasma adiponectin (MD 2.72, 95% CI 2.13 to 3.32). Adverse events were reported less frequently in the treatment groups than in controls. Conclusions: CDDP is effective in reducing BV on T2DM. However, due to the poor design and quality of the included studies, high-quality, well-designed studies are required in the future.

Published: September 2023

Food allergy is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is caused by an abnormal immune response to harmless food antigens, which is influenced by genetics and environmental factors. Modulating the gut microbiota and immune system with probiotics or genetically modified probiotics confers health benefits to the host and offers a novel strategy for preventing and treating food allergy. This systematic review aims to summarize the current proof of the role of probiotics in food allergy and propose a promising future research direction of using probiotics as a possible strategy of treatment for food allergy.
Effect of Continuous Ingestion of Bifidobacteria and Dietary Fiber on Improvement in Cognitive Function: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial
Authors: Azuma Naoki , Mawatari Takashi , Saito Yasuo , Tsukamoto Masashi , Sampei Masatoshi , Iwama Yoshitaka
Published: September 2023

Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis GCL2505 has been shown to have some positive effects on health, including improved defecation frequency and reduced visceral fat. These effects are thought to be due to GCL2505′s unique ability to reach the intestine in a viable form and proliferate after a single intake. This leads to an increased number of intestinal bifidobacteria. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study was conducted to confirm that intake of GCL2505 and inulin (a prebiotic) improve cognitive function (n = 80). Participants consumed test drinks containing 1 × 1010 colony-forming units of GCL2505 per 100 g and 2.0 g of inulin per 100 g for 12 weeks. The change in cognitive function assessment scores was set as the primary endpoint. There were significant improvements in scores in the neurocognitive index domain, which is an assessment of overall cognitive function, in addition to overall attention, cognitive flexibility, and executive function domains. The intervention significantly increased the number of fecal bifidobacteria and affected the levels of several inflammatory markers. These results suggest that intake of GCL2505 and inulin improves cognitive function by improving the intestinal environment and alleviating inflammation.

Published: September 2023

Background. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion is accepted as the standard surgical treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Cervical disc arthroplasty has gained widespread acceptance as an alternate choice for  ACDF. We intend to present the clinical and radiologic outcomes of patients who underwent ACDF in our department.
Methods. Designed as a retrospective study, the primary objective was to assess the nonunion in patients undergoing ACDF and Anterior cervical  Corpectomy and fusion. The article discusses the outcome for the discectomy group. All patients who underwent ACDF for CSM from January 2014 to December 2018 were included. Patients who underwent posterior fusion in addition to anterior approach, revision surgery and congenital anomalies of the spine were excluded. Of the 230 eligible patients,46  subjects were part of the study. They underwent neurologic and radiographic examination and their past records were examined. Neurologic outcome was assessed using Nurick grade and mJOA score. Dysphagia was assessed using the Bazaz score. Neck radiographs were analysed for fusion, Adjacent segment Disease, subsidence, cervical and segmental lordosis.
Results. The overall response rate was 25.65%. The mean follows up duration was 4 years. The mean age of the population was 47.1 years. The most common operating level was C5/6. The neurologic status of patients improved from the baseline. There was mild transient dysphagia in 5(10.9%) patients. The overall rate of fusion was 91.3%. Subsidence was seen in 10.9%. Degenerative changes were noted in postop x rays of 67.4% of patients. There was no mortality.
Conclusion. ACDF  achieves thorough decompression thereby resulting in neurologic improvement. It produces effective and sustained neurologic improvement. Preoperative adjacent segment degenerative changes were significantly associated with the development of ASD during follow up. This is can due to the progression of the disease. Though the procedure improves the lordosis, it tends to decrease with follow up.

Authors: Cem Ovalioglu Talat , Aydin Salih
Published: September 2023

Introduction: To investigate the certain advantages of full endoscopic lumbar decompression (FELD) surgery over conservative techniques in lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). Minimal invasive techniques have been introduced recently to treat lumbar spinal stenosis and gained popularity over conservative techniques because of the minimal tissue damage along with the satisfactory postoperative outcome. In our study, the FELD technique using a uniportal approach is described and investigated in accordance with the preliminary clinical results of patients who had degenerative spinal stenosis.

Methods: 55 patients who underwent FELD were retrospectively reviewed. General demographics and parameters including operation time, length of hospital stay, mean time to return to work, complications were recorded. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS) for low back and leg pain, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for functional assessment.

Results: The mean follow-up time was 36 months. There was no measurable intraoperative blood loss. The mean operating time was 97,4 minutes. The length of hospital stay after the operation was 27 hours on average. The difference between preoperative and postoperative VAS scores was statistically significant (p<0.001). No surgery-related complication was noted.

Conclusions: Amongst other standard techniques, FELD has the technical advantages of less paraspinal muscle dissection, less tissue trauma, less risk of spinal instability, minimal blood loss, quicker postoperative recovery and shorter length of hospital stay.

Traumatic brain injury is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. One of its presentations includes traumatic brain contusions. Brain contusions are cortical lesions of necrotic tissue and multiple petechial haemorrhages, initially perivascular, that predominantly affect the crests of the convolutions, but that can extend through the cortex and reach the subcortical white matter. These result from a collision of the brain with the adjacent inner table of the skull, without proper treatment these can evolve and cause a rapid deterioration of clinical and neurological status. The classification includes mild, moderate, and severe TBI depending on the nature of the injury and the impact on the patient's clinical status. For the initial evaluation, computed tomography is usually used, although the magnetic resonance has greater sensitivity for the detection in these patients. Treatment is guided at preventing the progression of the lesion or the development of a secondary lesion, avoiding hypotension and hypoxia and maintaining adequate cerebral perfusion. Surgery is frequently needed in severe cases to remove intracranial hematomas, provide space for the brain to swell, or place monitors to track intracranial pressure and brain oxygenation. The aim of this article is to review the most important aspects to know about brain contusion.

Authors: Singh Kuldeep , Pandey Sharad , Kumar Pankaj , Gupta L.N. , Mehto Amit , Jha Ravi Prakesh
Published: September 2023

Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) is a disease associated with high mortality and morbidity. Recent studies have postulated a correlation between Vitamin D deficiency and aSAH, however, the mechanism of which remains obscure. Vitamin D and Calcium in patients withaSAH has not been formally investigated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of hypovitaminosis D and hypocalcemia in patients with aSAH.
Methods: An observational study was conducted at the Department of Neurosurgery at tertiary care centre, New Delhi, India. 40 patients with spontaneous aneurysmal SAH were enrolled during the period January 2019 to 15th April 2020. The standard protocol of care was given to all patients included in the study. Laboratory investigations including Vitamin D and Calcium levels; Clinical examination and grading were done for each patient. The data thus collected was used to see the clinic-demographic profile of patients of aSAH with an emphasis on Vitamin D and Calcium levels.
Results: The study reported mean vitamin D level of 17.4 ± 7 ng/ml; mean calcium level of 8.3 ± 0.9 mg/dl amongst the study participants. Out of 40 patients, 8 patients (20%) were severely deficient, 24 patients (60%) were mild to moderate deficient and 8 patients (20%) were having normal vitamin D levels. 50% of the patients (n=20) were hypocalcaemic and 50% were normocalcaemic.
Conclusion:  A higher incidence of vitamin D deficiency was observed in our study along with an equal incidence of hypocalcemia vs normocalcemia. Further studies with a comparison group and a bigger sample size are needed to validate this evidence.
Evaluation of the benefit of placing a drain in the epidural space in patients undergoing craniotomy
Authors: Çavuşoğlu Emre , Kocaman Ümit
Published: September 2023

Background. Placing a drain in each of the intracerebral, subdural, epidural, and subgaleal spaces during craniotomy may be a result of the traditional approach. It may be more appropriate to identify the locations of the drains individually for each case and avoid certain behaviours. We, therefore, planned a study on the necessity of epidural drains, which are commonly used.
Methods. The study was conducted by screening the charts of the patients who had undergone surgery at ?zmir Bak?rçay University Çi?li Training and Research Hospital’s Neurosurgery Department between June 1st 2021 and September 1st 2022. The study was of the retrospective cohort type. There were two groups in the study. Twenty cases where only a subgaleal drain was used formed the first group (SG group). Twenty cases where subgaleal and epidural drains were used together formed the second group (SG+E group). A total of three parameters were evaluated between these groups. The first parameter was the myocutaneous tissue thickness on the first postoperative day. The second one was epidural collection thickness on the first postoperative day. The third parameter was the rate of wound site infection development in the two groups. The results of the two groups were compared with the Wilcoxon rank sum test. A two-way p-value below 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results. A statistically significant difference was present between the two groups in terms of myocutaneous tissue thickness (p=0.035). The mean myocutaneous tissue thickness was 15.8±3.24 mm in the SG+E group and 12.4±5.98 mm in the SG group. The mean epidural collection thickness in the SG+E group was higher than in the SG group and the difference was significant (10.3±3.29 mm and 6.30±3.13 mm, respectively, p<0.001). No infection developed in any of the patients in either group.
Conclusion. In patients undergoing craniotomy, placing a drain in the epidural space may be an ineffective intervention. The basic principle should be to complete the operation in the least invasive manner and the shortest time possible.

Published: September 2023

Introduction: Cavernomas are benign hamartomas of cerebral and spinal vessels, accounting for less than 1% of all arteriovenous malformations. In general, surgical resection is the treatment of choice for enlarging cavernomas or those associated with medically refractory seizures. Herein, we report a case of an enlarged deep precentral gyrus cavernoma, with a discussion of the surgical approach and the impact of intra-operative neurophysiological monitoring on the preservation of motor function.
Case description: A 30-year-old male was referred to our hospital due to 2-month history of focal seizures. Initial magnetic resonance imaging revealed right precentral cavernoma with minimal right parietal subarachnoid haemorrhage. Revealed the location of the cavernoma deep in the right primary motor cortex. Surgery was performed, trans-sulcal dissection was done with the aid of intraoperative ultrasonography neuro-navigation. The cortical motor map was localized by functional mapping with intra-operative neurophysiological monitoring, including somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) and motor evoked potentials (MEP). Post-operatively, the left side weakness grade was 4/5, and the Glasgow coma scale was 15. Postoperative imaging confirmed successful resection of the cavernoma and associated hemosiderin ring with no SAH.
Conclusion: The use of preoperative MRI and intraoperative ultrasonography supplemented by neurophysiological monitoring utilizing SEP, MEP, and cortical mapping is essential for the safe resection of paracentral cavernomas.

The Judaeo-Spanish Ballads in the Carolingian Cycle
Authors: Miller Royce
Published: September 2023

The Judaeo-Spanish ballads are a fertile field of study for the literary critic, the folklorist, the medievalist and the linguist, as well as for the student of Judaic culture. The folk genius of these ballads unites two potentially antagonistic tendencies in a dynamic tension : literary recomposition and preservation of many elements of the language and literature. Nowhere is the coexistence of these two tendencies better seen than in the Carolingian ballads.
Hérodiade
Authors: Herrmann Léon
Published: September 2023

La légende veut qu'Hérodiade ait été responsable, grâce à la danse de sa fille Salomé, de l'exécution de saint Jean-Baptiste alors que même le texte apocryphe de la version slave de Josèphe (Halosis, II, 9, 7) et le texte apocryphe intercalé dans Antiquités judaïques, XVIII, 116-119 ne mentionnent à ce propos ni Hérodiade ni Salomé. Selon les textes authentiques de Flavius Josèphe, il n'est pas davantage question d'elles, bien que l'historien rende Hérodiade responsable de la disgrâce et de l'exil d'Hérode Antipas (AJ, XVIII, 243-247 et 254-255 ; BJ, II, 181-182). Les récits des Évangiles, selon saint Marc VI, 14-19 et selon saint Matthieu XIV, 1-12, et les renseignements de saint Luc III, 1-3, 19-20 ; IX, 7, 9 ; X, 21-25 et surtout XXIII, 1-15 mêlant Hérode Antipas au procès du Christ sont à écarter au même titre que Oracles sibyllins, I, 336 sq. Même les passages authentiques de Josèphe, attribuant à l'ambition d'Hérodiade la chute d'Hérode Antipas, sont peut-être partiaux en raison de l'évidente préférence de l'historien pour Hérode Agrippa Ier, frère d'Hérodiade, brouillé avec elle ; et il faut retenir à l'actif d'Hérodiade son attitude courageuse et digne qui lui fit partager la pauvreté de son mari, exilé en Gaule, alors que Caligula voulait la lui épargner.

Bazaars have a special meaning in the countries of the Middle East region, especially Iran and Turkey, which have a deep-rooted history in bazaar construction. No bazaar has been built without a purpose or without considering its performance. Bazaars form the backbone of cities. In addition, the bazaars mentioned in the study, the architecture of the region, reflects the dynamic and progressive internal features called identity. Due to the architectural features of the historical bazaars and their strategic geographical location, they left effective traces on the east-west trade route on the Silk Road. Bazaars with traditional architecture play an important role in the daily life of cities, in the past and today, with their different architectural features. In the research, library, and field research were conducted with a descriptive-analytical approach to understand the features, characteristics, and physical and social relationships in the spatial formation of the selected area in the commercial areas of Tabriz and Istanbul. Analysis was made by considering graphs, tables, or detailed information about architectural spaces.

The effect of the individual seed mass of Negorelskaya variety Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) on 30-day germination in 40-cell SideSlit growing containers
Authors: Novikov Arthur , Rabko Siarhei , Novikova Tatyana , Petrishchev E.
Published: September 2023

The seeds germination of the Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is an important stage of the tree's life cycle and determines the subsequent productivity and survival, ultimately affecting the composition of the plant community. Germination is related to various biological characteristics of seeds, including individual seed mass. The amount of endosperm nutrients contained in sound seeds can determine the energy available for germination. Experimental evidence of the influence of individual seed mass on germination is still quite small. To test the technology of planting material production with a closed root system, taking into account the individual spectrometric and morphometric features of the Negorelskaya variety for each varietal seed of the Scots pine (P. sylvestris L.), three random sets of 400 de-winged seeds (N = 1200) were sown manually in 40-mesh SideSlit containers of an automated forest nursery. To test the hypothesis about the influence of the individual seed mass of the Scots pine (P. sylvestris L.) varieties "Negorelskaya" on the indicators of its germination in SideSlit containers on the 30th day, a single-factor analysis of variance was used with a check of uniformity according to the Levene's criterion and a posteriori LSD test of averages. The individual mass of the sown seeds varied from 1.0 to 13.3 mg (m ± SD | 60.1 ± 17.5 mg). The average values of the germination index of the seeds of Negorelskaya variety Scots pine (P. sylvestris L.) on day 30 in the volume of 6,8,12,16,18,26 SideSlit containers statistically (Levene's criterion 6.35, p = 1.98e-22; ANOVA F-criterion 1.291, p = 0.0139; a posteriori criterion LSD p < 0.05) differ from the indicator in 2,7,10,11,13,19,22,24,26,27,29 containers. The average values of the individual mass of 942 seeds germinated on the 30th day in the cells of SideSlit containers of the automated forest nursery statistically (Levene's criterion 11.317; p = 0.000792; ANOVA F-criterion 12.098; p = 0.000523) differ from the average values of the individual weight of the ungrown 258 seeds of the Negorelskaya variety Scots pine (P. sylvestris L.). In the future, this seed germination on day 50 in SideSlit containers and comprehensive quality indicators of the seedlings, including DQI and RQI, will be studied.

Published: September 2023

The study is aimed at improving the efficiency of the hydraulic manipulators of timber-carrying road trains operating in difficult natural and climatic conditions. The relevance of the scientific direction is substantiated, aimed at reducing energy losses in the hydraulic drives of manipulators in the process of performing loading and unloading operations. The works of foreign scientists are analyzed, which made it possible to identify promising areas for improving the efficiency of hydraulic manipulators, including the development of more modern drives, increasing productivity, accuracy and automation of their control processes. In order to improve the energy efficiency, performance and reliability of hydraulic manipulators of timber road trains, the authors proposed a promising design of the column slewing mechanism with a crank drive. The study was based on mathematical and simulation modeling, numerical methods, as well as modern methods for obtaining and processing information with computer support. A mathematical model and a computer program for the operation of a hydraulic manipulator with a regenerative crank drive of the column slewing mechanism made it possible to estimate the recuperated energy and the swing amplitude of the transported load. When using a hydraulic manipulator equipped with the proposed crank drive, the boom length of which is on average 6 m, and the weight of the transported timber is 600 kg, the amount of energy that can be stored in the pneumohydraulic accumulator is about 1300 J. The angular unevenness of the crank drive is 23.6 % and 4.6 % when assessed in terms of recuperated energy and load swing amplitude, respectively. For a typical hydraulic manipulator with a boom length of 6 m, when braking the rotation of the column, the recuperation system allows to store from 0.39 to 2.59 kW with a load mass of 200 to 1400 kg, respectively, with an acceptable load swing amplitude, respectively, from 0.2 to 0.48 m. The obtained results will be used as recommendations for the purpose of finalizing the proposed crank drive of the rotary device of the hydraulic manipulator at the stage of its design.

Rice is a staple food source for the majority of Indonesian, so the availability of ready-to-plant rice seeds is absolutely necessary. However, the continuity supply of quality rice seeds can be hampered by dormancy. The seed dormancy period can be broken by chemical methods, one of which is using a KNO3 solution. This study aimed to study the interaction of soaking time and KNO3 concentration on viability and vigor of rice seeds. This research were conducted at the BPSBTPH Laboratory Region 1 Cianjur. The research methodology used is a factorial randomized block design (RCBD) consisting of two factors and repeated 4 times. The first factor is the length of soaking time which consists of three levels, namely the duration of soaking 1 day, 2 days and 3 days and the second factor which consists of three levels, namely the concentration of KNO3 2%, 3% and 4% so as to produce 9 treatment combinations. The results showed that there was no interaction in all the observation parameters, both on viability and vigor of the seeds. However, independently, the 1 day soaking time factor (l1) gave the best effect on germination, germination height and vigor index, the 2-day soaking time (12) treatment gave the best effect on growth speed and root length, while the 2% concentration of (k1) gave the best effect on germination and growth speed on the first day of observation.

Paprika (Capsicum annuum var Grossum) is a prospective horticultural commodity to be developed in Indonesia, so the production needs to be increased. However, paprika is included as a perishable commodity, so it affects the quality and shelf life. Postharvest technology that can maintain quality and extend the shelf life of horticultural products is edible coating. Gelatin and chitosan are materials that can be used as coatings. The experiment aimed to determine the effect of edible coating types on the quality of green peppers in the form of water content, weight loss, and color components (Lightness, a*, and b*). This experiment was carried out from October 2022 to March 2023 at the Horticulture Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Padjadjaran. The experiment used a completely randomized design consisting of 6 treatments, namely control (without edible coating) stored 0 days, control (without edible coating), 5% Gelatin, 10% Gelatin, 1% Chitosan, and 2% Chitosan stored 8 days and repeated 4 times. The results showed that there was an effect of edible coating on the moisture content and weight loss of the peppers, but did not affect the color components in the form of Lightness (L*), a*, and b*. Chitosan 2% could maintain the moisture content of green peppers during storage for 8 days, while treatment with 5% gelatin and 2% chitosan resulted in lower weight loss compared to the control.

The floating raft is a simple hydroponic system, in which the nutrient solution stagnates without circulation, causing the condition of the dissolved oxygen content in the nutrient solution to be less than optimal for plant growth. To improve aeration can be done using an aerator and the addition of blocks of ice in the nutrient solution. This study aims to determine the effect of aeration using an aerator and temperature regulation of the nutrient solution on mustard samhong using floating raft hydroponics. There are two independent variables used, namely aeration (A) which is grouped into without aerator (A0) and with aerator (A1), and nutrient temperature (T) which is grouped into T1 (18o-20oC), T2 (22o-24oC), and T3 (26o-28oC). Data on plant height, number of leaves, and plant weight were analyzed using a two-way ANOVA test at the 5% level. The results showed that the aerator increased the dissolved oxygen content in the nutrient solution so that it had a better effect on plants, and the nutritional temperature that has the best effect is T1.

What do we know about drug functioning according to gender? The results of the “Drugs and Gender” survey
Authors: Brun, E.
Published: September 2023

È ormai noto che i farmaci presentano una diversa efficacia e tossicità nei due sessi. Il “sessoma”, ovvero l’insieme degli effetti indotti dal sesso sul network genico e sui sistemi cellulari, è alla base delle principali differenze tra i sessi in termini di farmacocinetica e farmacodinamica e tali differenze sono in parte reversibili. In generale il sesso femminile presenta un minore assorbimento, metabolismo ed eliminazione dei farmaci, che provocano maggiori effetti collaterali e necessitano di dosaggi minori. Dal 2014 viene pertanto raccomandato di contemplare una pari presenza dei due generi negli studi clinici, dal momento che la partecipazione maschile è sempre stata prevalente. Lo scopo di questa survey è stato di esplorare il livello di conoscenza e consapevolezza dei diabetologi italiani sul diverso funzionamento dei farmaci di più comune utilizzo per la cura e prevenzione del diabete e delle sue complicanze nei due generi. Coerentemente al periodo storico è stato incluso anche un approfondimento sui vaccini anti Sars-Cov2. La survey, che includeva quindici quesiti a risposta multipla, è stata indirizzata via mail ai membri dell’Associazione medici diabetologi (AMD) nei mesi di maggio e giugno 2022. Centoventotto diabetologi operanti nelle strutture del sistema sanitario di tutto il territorio nazionale hanno risposto alla survey. Le risposte con maggiore incertezza riguardavano l’utilizzo di farmaci ‘cardiovascolari’, in particolare spironolattone ed anti-ipertensivi, mentre le conoscenze più sicure riguardavano gli ipoglicemizzanti, in particolare la metformina. Gli effetti del vaccino anti Sars-Cov2 nei due generi erano poco noti. Pur con i limiti della scarsa numerosità del campione (128 partecipanti, circa il 10% degli iscritti AMD), la survey “genere e farmaci” ha evidenziato la necessità di informare e formare i diabetologi sulla differente risposta ai farmaci nei due sessi, oltre al bisogno di avviare e sviluppare un processo di sensibilizzazione e ricerca che porti alla stesura di indicazioni rigorose e specifiche su dosaggi, efficacia ed effetti collaterali dei farmaci correlati al sesso. Questo approccio è alla base della promozione dell’equità di genere nella salute. PAROLE CHIAVE genere; farmaci; conoscenze; equità.
