Introduction: Predicting factors related to the severity and mortality of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients can significantly help in better management of their treatment. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between pulmonary radiologic findings based on the Warrick score and COVID-19 patients’ outcomes. Patients and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 436 COVID-19 patients hospitalized at Shahid Mohammadi hospital in Bandar Abbas. Pulmonary radiologic findings were scored based on the Warrick score. Outcomes of COVID-19 patients, including disease severity and mortality, were followed. Independent T-test and binary logistic regression were conducted to explore the correlation between the pulmonary radiologic findings and patients’ outcomes. Results: Results showed that the correlation between pulmonary radiologic findings with both disease severity and mortality was significant, since higher pulmonary involvement caused greater severity and mortality. The Warrick score difference between dead and recovered patients and low and high disease severity were significant, therefore greater Warrick score caused more disease severity and mortality. Conclusion: Pulmonary radiologic findings based on the Warrick score can use as a predictor of COVID-19 patients’ outcomes.

Introduction: Managing influenza (flu) due to its rapid transmission is a considerable challenge for the health system. Considering the variety of clinical symptoms in influenza and recognizing its symptoms in different conditions of patients can be effective in its management. Objectives: In the present cross-sectional study, we evaluate the relationship between clinical and para-clinical findings and the treatment measures observed at the time of hospitalization of influenza patients and their conditions at the time of discharge from the hospital. Patients and Methods: Our investigation was conducted from March 2019 to March 2021 in Alzahra hospital of Isfahan, Iran. The research population included influenza patients admitted to the infectious ward. Results: A total of 122 hospitalized influenza patients (n=122) were included in this research. The number of patients with influenza A and B was 44 and 78, respectively. There was a significant relationship between the type of influenza and the patient’s condition upon discharge (P=0.001). Influenza vaccination (P<0.001), diabetes (P=0.038), and cardiovascular disease (P=0.004) were significantly associated with the patient’s condition at discharge. According to our investigation, among the drugs used, oseltamivir significantly reduced mortality in patients receiving it (P<<0.001). There was a statistically significant difference between the variables of all chest radiology and the patient’s condition at the time of discharge (P<0.001). Furthermore, there was a statistically significant difference between the length of hospital stay (P=0.001), the number of white blood cells (P=0.001), the number of platelets (P=0.006), and the amount of C-reactive protein (CRP) (P<0.001) with the patient’s condition upon discharge. Conclusion: Among the comorbidities studied, diabetes and cardiovascular disease were significantly associated with mortality in patients with influenza. Vaccination significantly reduces mortality from influenza in high-risk patients. The antiviral drug oseltamivir is recommended as a useful drug for patients with the influenza. However, a multi-center study with larger sample size is necessary for a more conclusive result.

IgA vasculitis nephritis (Schönlein-Henoch purpura nephritis) is an autoimmune circumstance characterized by palpable purpura involving the lower limbs, arthralgia, abdominal pain and kidney involvement. It is possible that a cytokine storm following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) could lead to an immunological dysregulation responsible for IgA vasculitis nephritis in these cases. Reactivation or first onset of IgA vasculitis nephritis is uncommon; however, there have been increasing reports of this disease, as a complication of COVID-19 vaccination. It is possible that COVID-19 mRNA vaccination may trigger several auto-inflammatory and autoimmune cascades. Previous research has shown that Toll-like receptors play a role in the development of IgA vasculitis nephritis. Following injection of a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, the uptake of double-stranded RNA by-products will trigger Toll-like receptors, leading to a series of intracellular cascades starting an innate immunity-driven process of cell-mediated and humoral- mediated immunity.

Introduction: The role of vitamin D in metabolism, bone-mineral regulation, and anti-oxidation effect has drawn researchers’ attention toward its exact role in hemodialysis. Objectives: In this study, the effect of uric acid level reduction on serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels in hemodialysis patients was assessed. Patients and Methods: This study is a triple-blind clinical trial conducted on 81 hemodialysis patients suffering from asymptomatic hyperuricemia. Serum uric acid levels were assessed at the start of the study. Then patients were divided randomly into two groups of intervention and control. The intervention group received 100 mg of allopurinol tablets daily for two months. The control group received placebo tablets for the same duration. At the end of the study, 25-hydroxyvitamin D and uric acid levels were assessed. Data were analyzed using SPSS software and chi-square, independent t test, Mann–Whitney U, and Spearman’s rank correlation tests. Results: In our study, two groups of control and intervention were similar in terms of patients’ demographic and hemodialysis characteristics. After the intervention, compared to the control group, the serum uric acid levels were significantly lower in the intervention group, while the level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D showed no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: In this study, no significant effect of uric acid lowering therapy with vitamin D elevation in hemodialysis patients was detected. Trial Registration: The trial protocol was approved by the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (identifier: IRCT2015041721803N1; https:// en.irct.ir/trial/18996, ethical code#IR.SKUMS.1395.231).

Published: February 2023

Curcumin is the essential ingredient of turmeric and one of the most potent antioxidants. It also has several biological capabilities, including anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic, anticoagulant, antidiabetic, antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal effects. Therefore, curcumin has a significant potential for the treatment and control of various diseases. In kidney disorders like chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetic nephropathy (DN), the mechanism of kidney damage is associated with oxidative stress and inflammation. Curcumin, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory abilities, can alleviate kidney damage and treat kidney diseases. In patients with kidney disorders, progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is critical because it increases their mortality rate. It has also been proved that curcumin could diminish such progression due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential, improving the survival rate. Besides, it has numerous nephroprotective effects that are summarized in this review.

Published: February 2023

Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease. Affected individuals manifest clinically with tumors involving multiple organs including hemangioblastoma of the central nervous system and retina, cystic kidney disease, renal cell carcinoma (RCC), pheochromocytoma, and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Its diagnosis is based on genetic testing and clinical criteria in suspected patients. Treatment principles are to save organs and periodic surveillance for in-time tumor detection and appropriate follow-ups. This case report presents a 47-year-old woman with five years history of abdominal pain alongside long-standing headaches and progressive hearing loss. On imaging, multiple suspicious tumors throughout her body were detected and she proceeded to surgical resection. She was finally diagnosed with RCC, central nervous system tumor hemangioblastoma, and pancreatic cyst. The patient underwent a right-sided nephrectomy and Sunitinib therapy. She is continuing therapy and currently does not have any sign of metastasis. Due to her constellation of tumors VHL disease was suspected. Although she did not have any positive family history, the VHL diagnosis was conducted based on clinical criteria. The case emphasized the importance of timely recognition and evaluation of suspected cases and evidence base surveillance. Physician familiarity with the underestimated disease is of paramount importance.

Authors: Fazeli Behrooz , Hajisalimi Bahareh
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Regular dialysis, is not able to maintain phosphorus in the normal range. Therefore, using phosphate chelators to keep serum level of phosphorus in the normal range is essential. Sevelamer is a chelator for phosphate. Objectives: The purpose of this investigation was to compare the therapeutic impact of sevelamer carbonate versus sevelamer hydrochloride on electrolytes and metabolic acidosis and gastrointestinal symptoms in a group of hemodialysis patients. Patients and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, patients were divided into two treatment groups; sevelamer carbonate and sevelamer hydrochloride. Sevelamer carbonate and sevelamer hydrochloride were prescribed as daily 800 mg tablets three times daily with their meals. Patients were evaluated for serum calcium, phosphorus, plasma bicarbonate and pH levels after one month. Results: Around 44 patients were enrolled, of which 22 patients were treated with sevelamer hydrochloride and 22 patients in the intervention group with sevelamer carbonate. There was no significant difference between the effects of sevelamer carbonate and sevelamer hydrochloride on serum calcium and phosphorus levels at the end of the study (P>0.05). There was a significant difference between the effects of sevelamer carbonate versus sevelamer hydrochloride on plasma bicarbonate and pH levels (P=0.036 and P=0.012 respectively). In terms of gastrointestinal complications, two drugs did not differ significantly. Conclusion: To prevent acidosis, along with increasing plasma bicarbonate and blood pH in patients undergoing hemodialysis, sevelamer carbonate is better than sevelamer hydrochloride. Therefore, the administration of sevelamer hydrochloride is preferable. Trial Registration: The trial protocol was approved by the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (identifier: IRCT20141016019554N13, https:// en.irct.ir/trial/28916, ethical code#IR.ZUMS.REC.1397.352).

Published: February 2023

Introduction: Chronic inflammation is one of the underlying causes of cardiovascular disease which is commonly seen in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and especially in end-stage renal disease (ESRD), as well as the patients on stable dialysis. Hemodialysis patients suffer from high mortality due to cardiovascular diseases. Objectives: Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of atorvastatin and aspirin on C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration in hemodialysis patients and compare the effect of these two drugs on CRP concentration in these patients. Patients and Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, the dialysis patients who had been on dialysis for more than four months were selected through medical records (N=75). Serum CRP was checked and those who had positive CRP entered in the analysis (n=20). Ten patients had been used atorvastatin at a dose of 20 mg daily and the other 10 patients received aspirin at a dose of 80 mg daily for two months. Serum CRP concentration was measured in all patients at the end of these two months. Results: The mean age of the patients was 65.6 years and the mean number of years on dialysis was three years. In addition, 65% of patients were male and 35% were female. The only significant relationship was between the effect of atorvastatin and CRP concentration and the effect of aspirin on CRP concentration while no statistically significant relationship was found between the two groups of aspirin and atorvastatin in terms of serum CRP value after the intervention. Conclusion: The results indicated that the effect of aspirin and atorvastatin on CRP concentration was positive in hemodialysis patients and reduced the serum level of CRP, indicating the anti-inflammatory role of these two drugs in hemodialysis patients. It should be noted that drug preference was not determined in the present study.

Monkeypox is a common disease between humans and animals. The cause of this disease is a member of the Poxviridae family. The transmission of this disease is mostly through aerosol, direct contact and insect bites. Monkeypox has different symptoms; its skin lesions are papules then; they progress toward vesicles and finally create classic pock lesions. The duration of lesions are 4 to 14 days and they are usually seen on hands, feet and face. This disease can cause fever, lymphadenopathy, encephalitis and keratitis. Thus, monkeypox in the course of its development involves several organs. Due to the limited number of studies conducted on this virus, we designed this study to investigate signs, symptoms and effect of monkeypox virus on kidneys and compare with other similar viruses such as other genera of Orthopoxvirus and varicella-zoster.

Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency is a common clinical finding in the general population and hospitalized patients, including patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in more than 50% in ICU admitted patients. Objectives: There are few studies regarding AKI in COVID-19 patients, therefore we investigated the relationship between vitamin D3 deficiency and the occurrence of AKI in COVID-19 patients. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 69 COVID-19 patients who were hospitalized in the ward for 12 months. Their serum vitamin D3 levels were measured in the first 24 hours of hospitalization in the ward. Patients were divided into three groups based on the serum levels of vitamin D3: >50 ng/mL as normal, 20-50 ng/mL as insufficient and <20 ng/mL as deficiency status. The patients were studied until the occurrence of acute renal injury or the occurrence of death. Results: Out of 69 hospitalized patients in the ward with COVID-19, there were 39 patients in group vitamin D3<20 ng/mL, 21 patients in group vitamin D3 of 20-50ng/mL and 9 patients in group of vitamin D3>50 ng/mL. The frequencies of AKI in groups of vitamin D3<20 ng/mL, 20-50 ng/mL, and >50 ng/mL were 46%, 28%, and 23%, respectively. A significant relationship was observed between AKI and our study groups (P=0.011). Furthermore, there was a significant association between our study groups and mortality (P=0.014), ICU admission (P=0.041) and hospital length of stay (P=0.017). In another division in patients with different levels of vitamin D3 in the presence or absence of AKI, there were significant associations between patients with vitamin D3<20 ng/mL and the presence of AKI and also with mortality (P=0.042), ICU admission (P=0.024) and additionally with hospital length of stay (P=0.027). Conclusion: Our study showed significant association between vitamin D deficiency and AKI in ICU-admitted COVID-19 patients. Moreover, there were relationships between vitamin D deficiency and mortality, ICU admission and hospital length of stay. These results suggest the correction of vitamin D deficiency may be beneficial to reduce AKI in patient with COVID-19.

Published: February 2023

Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, is a promising and nontoxic oxidant. In recent years considerable attention has been paid to the development of hypergolic system compositions, because the use of them not only markedly simplifies the engine design and rocket system operation but also provides the possibility of their repeated use. Moreover, their high performance, high environmental compatibility and low toxicity make them highly preferable. The present review considers recent works on hypergolic systems involving hydrogen peroxide as the oxidizer and various green propellants of organic and inorganic nature with or without certain additives.
THE OPPOSITION “HELL – PARADISE” IN THE POETRY OF YURIY KUZNETSOV
Authors: Ilinykh Anastasia V.
Published: February 2023

The article is devoted to a multidimensional analysis of the motifs and images of a biblical nature, key to the work of Yuriy Kuznetsov, related to the realisation of the theme of the afterlife. The research material consists of poems from different years that include the lexemes “hell” and (or) “paradise”. In the course of the work, the place of these images in the artistic world of Yuriy Kuznetsov was determined, their relationship was considered in the light of the poetic and religious searches of the author. It is shown that involvement in the spiritual component of life is defined by the poet as communion with the original being, embodied in the image of the Garden of Eden. In contrast to it, hell stands out – a place of “similitude”. The Biblical canon plays an important role in the analysis of these images. It is established that the opposition “hell – paradise” reflects not only the basic Orthodox concept of the afterlife, but also the idea of two states of the human soul – in the bosom of religion and outside it – key to understanding Yuriy Kuznetsov’s thought about the primary role of faith in human life.
THE POWER SYSTEM OF THE ERA OF PETER I OF RUSSIA IN POLITICAL AND LEGAL DISCOURSE OF MIKHAIL SPERANSKY
Authors: Sarayeva Yelena L.
Published: February 2023

Mikhail Speransky’s ideas about the importance of reforming the state apparatus in the era of Peter I of Russia are analysed in the article. The ideological and value bases of Mikhail Speransky’s criticism of state policy – the rule of law, security of life, protection of private property, civil rights – are revealed. Equal recognition of the rights of the state and citizens is the most important idea of Mikhail Speransky. He distinguished two types of government – despotic one and one based on laws. From his point of view, the main feature of despotism is unrestrictedness of power by laws. The political and social relations’ transformation is a long-term process. It is necessary for ideas about the importance and irreversibility of innovations to take root in the public consciousness, Mikhail Speransky believed. According to Mikhail Speransky, changing public opinion about the political and social system is the most important historical task, the solution of which secures innovation. The fight for introducing civil liberty may start only when people realise its necessity. What were the basic concepts of Mikhail Speransky’s discourse on the development of socio-political relations in Russia included the concepts of «human», «freedom», «laws» and «rights». The political system should evolve from despotism to the rule of law. The essence of social transformation must be the elimination of slavish dependence of certain estates on other ones. Mikhail Speransky highlighted the virtues of the public administration system that had been established by Peter I of Russia – a clearer definition by the laws of the functions of institutions, the way they were formed, the creation of a system of control over their work. According to Mikhail Speransky, the drawbacks of Peter’s state were broad powers of the Senate and Collegiums, poor organisation of paperwork. From his point of view, the shortcomings were largely due to the centralised system of governance in the country and the unlimited power of the autocrat.

Published: February 2023

Lying is a bio-psycho-social phenomenon of the human psyche with primatological and zoological studies determining deceiving characteristic of not just humans, but also mammals and even plants. The study of deliberate concealment of the truth is topical when there is a threat to the life and health of an individual or there is misleading of an official. The article deals with physiological and pantomimic markers when hiding the truth from the persons involved. In instrumentless lie detection (verification), a special role is given to the body movements of the subject (gestures), since motor production is an important correlator of human neuropsychic activity. The evolutionary, biopsychosocial origin of markers of non-verbal behaviour during deception is analysed. The paper provides a complete classification of the reactions of the autonomic nervous system and the limbic part of the brain when information is concealed. The pilot study involved 95 people aged 16 to 55 as respondents; in the course of a survey conversation (interview) on control and verification questions, physiological reactions and pantomime to the fear of possible exposure were recorded and differentiated. Gestures during deception were of an adaptive, resourceful unconscious nature, the genesis of physiological reactions was associated with an evolutionary pattern and a stressful response to a negative stimulus. The relevance of verification in investigative, law enforcement and medical practice is discussed.

FORMATION OF SOVIET IDENTITY BY MEANS OF DOMESTIC CINEMATOGRAPHY IN THE 1920–50S: TO THE PROBLEM STATEMENT
Authors: Zyablikov Alexey V.
Published: February 2023

The article substantiates the need for a comprehensive study of the processes of the formation of Soviet identity by means of cinema in the 1920–50s. The article analyses the possibilities of feature films as a special instrument of influence, as an important semantic technology that helped to consolidate the postulates and principles of a new era in the public consciousness, and to model an impeccable image of the country. Cinema constructed a new social reality, laid the basic values of the emerging Soviet reality, formulated a civilisational super-task, created ideal behavioural patterns, gave birth to socio-cultural stereotypes and guidelines that determined the worldview, ideological, political, economic, economic, aesthetic content of the new living space; all the said instead of reflection of numerous realities of the Soviet era. The article substantiates the choice of the chronological framework of the study and gives a historiographical analysis of the problem. It reveals the cross-cutting themes of the Soviet cinema of the 1920–50s, the period that influenced the formation of a new identity. It also formulates possible approaches to the scientific understanding of the proposed topic and outlines a circle of the most promising research tasks. In particular, it notes the need for a systematic study of the methods, techniques and forms of representation of Soviet reality and everyday life by cinema in its key sociocultural models (family, everyday life, school, work, leisure, holiday, etc.) and concepts (“peoples’ friendship”, “happy Soviet Motherland”, “labour feat”, “public enemy”, “proletarian solidarity”), which acquired the qualities of the life coordinates of a Soviet person and largely determined its world outlook. The conclusion is made about the complexity, multidimensionality and multi-level nature of the proposed topic, which covers different aspects of life – everyday, historical, ideological, socio-cultural, artistic and creative ones. The choice of an interdisciplinary approach is substantiated as the optimal methodological basis for research, which combines the cognitive arsenal of history, social philosophy, cultural anthropology and history of arts.
COMIC COMPARISONS IN THE EPIC NOVEL (“A COMMON STORY” BY IVAN GONCHAROV)
Authors: Ermolaeva Nina L.
Published: February 2023

The article deals with Ivan Goncharov’s understanding of humour as a constituent part of an artistic work. The author of the article focuses on the intellectual nature of humour as stated by the writer himself as well as on the humour as a part of his epic gift. Analysing “A Common Story”, the first novel from the writer’s epic trilogy, the author of the article claims that its epic potential is expressed in such stylistic devices as comparison and contrast, typical to Ivan Goncharov’s style. The writer’s humour shows his ability to stay distant from the object of depiction, openness to the world, freedom in dealing with time and space, skill in regarding different layers of the world culture. The article reveals the way the comic comparisons and contrasts help Ivan Goncharov to express his understanding of the pace of historical time from ‘dream’ to ‘awakening’, culturological, moral and philosophic beliefs. The article pinpoints the wideness and depth of characteristics using comic devices for portraying the personal culture of the nobility of European-educated and uneducated layer, folkish culture. These remarks allow to make conclusions about sociological views of the author and the manner of approximation of nobility and folk typical to Ivan Goncharov and based on his assumption that uneducated, provincial nobility and the folk are close due to the involvement into the same national culture.
Chinese language anxiety in classroom learning for international students in China: teachers factor
Authors: Yang Junhong
Published: February 2023

This paper discusses the influence of teachers' teaching ideas and classroom activities design on international students' Chinese learning anxiety. The study found that Chinese teachers classroom management and communication style are the main factors causing anxiety of international students in classroom learning. Chinese teachers' improper error correction methods, ignorance of cultural and cognitive style differences in learning activities have also made international students feel so stressed in classroom learning that they were reluctant to participate in classroom activities. The author suggests that Chinese teachers should enhance their sensitivity to cross-cultural communication by way of facing up to international students' language learning anxiety and taking cultural and cognitive style differences into fully consideration in their language teaching planning. The author also suggests adopting teaching strategies such as group activities and delaying error correction to provide appropriate academic support to reduce international students' anxiety, stress and frustration in Chinese language learning.

Youth education differs from similar processes aimed at both children and adults, so the postulates of both pedagogy and andragogy in this area do not always work. The article is devoted to the analysis of the process of pedagogic support of the leaders of future changes and the justification of its possibilities for the socialisation of the youth of the digital era. The authors attempt to resolve the contradictions between the new challenges of the post-globalisation era and the insufficient effectiveness of traditional methods, forms and technologies of raising leaders of future changes. Arguments are given in favour of proving the need to take into account the socio-cultural characteristics of the formation of modern youth simultaneously in two worlds (real and virtual) to build pedagogic strategies to support youth leadership. The data of an empirical study of the study of the socio-role identity of young leaders are presented and analysed. It is concluded that the pedagogic support of modern young leaders should be aimed not at preferences that produce their inflated self-esteem, but at eliminating the imbalance, including through a creative approach to promoting social ideas in global networks and making commitments to care not only about personal well-being, but also about the public good.

This paper describes the adaptation of the MSCEIT–YRV (Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test–Youth Research Version) task methodology for assessing the level of development of emotional intelligence (EI) in adolescents in a Russian-language sample. Nine hundred ninety-six adolescents aged 10 to 17 years (430 boys and 566 girls, mean age of 13.3 years) took part in the adaptation and psychometric testing of the methodology. The test assesses the overall level of development of EI, the experiential and strategic domains, and the four EI abilities (emotion recognition, facilitation of thought, emotion understanding, and emotion management). The main psychometric measures of reliability and validity of the MSCEIT-YRV meet the standardisation requirements of the test. The paper also presents the development and standardisation of the Russian-language test for the assessment of adolescents' EI (EIT - A). The test has two versions: for adolescents aged 10-13 years and 14-17 years. The versions have the same structure and number of questions but differ in the visual and textual stimulus material and language. MSCEIT-YRV and EIT (Emotional Intelligence Test for adults) were the prototypes for the new EIT - A methodology. The theoretical basis of the EIT - A methodology is the EI ability model by J. Mayer, P. Salovey, D. Caruso, and R. Plutchik's psychoevolutionary theory of emotions.

Authors: Contreras Mendoza David
Published: February 2023

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo presentar y analizar la pertinencia de los contenidos de los libros de texto durante la pandemia por COVID-19. En México, estos han sido distribuidos de manera obligatoria y gratuita en las escuelas primarias por la CONALITEG. Consultamos los ejercicios de gráficas de barras de la generación de libros de texto de Desafíos matemáticos que estuvo vigente durante el primer año de la pandemia, partiendo que las y los alumnos, en los programas de estudios, deben saber leer este tipo de gráficas; no obstante, identificamos que no existe una relación coherente entre los aprendizajes esperados con los contenidos y ejercicios presentados en los libros de texto. Para trabajar, consultamos a Eugenio Lizarde, cuestionando si al concluir la educación primaria, las y los niños están preparados para interpretar y analizar la información estadística que se presentaba a diario sobre la pandemia por COVID-19.
