Published: January 2020

Стаття узагальнює аргументи та контраргументи в межах наукової дискусії з питання впливу недиференційованої дисплазії сполучної тканини на розвиток стресового нетримання сечі у жінок пременопаузального віку та підходи до лікування даної патології. Основною метою проведеного дослідження є визначення особливостей обміну колагену у жінок пременопаузального віку зі стресовим нетриманням сечі для удосконалення тактики лікування та розробки диференціального підходу до профілактики розвитку даної патології в майбутньому. Систематизація даних літературних джерел та відсутність єдиного підходу до лікування стресового нетримання сечі у жінок пременопаузального віку засвідчила необхідність пошуку нових підходів до лікування даного захворювання, які впливатимуть на етіопатогенетичні ланки виникнення стресового нетримання сечі у даної категорії гінекологічних пацієнток. Актуальність дослідження даної патології полягає у тому, що стресове нетримання сечі – це проблема, яка суттєво знижує якість життя жінок в пременопаузі, стає причиною замкненості та невпевненості в собі, а в певних випадках може призводити й до психологічних порушень. Методика проведення дослідження полягала в проспективному клініко-статистичному обстеженні, до якого було залучено 133 пацієнтки пременопаузального віку зі стресовим нетриманням сечі, яких в залежності від призначеної терапії було розподілено на дві групи. До основної групи увійшли 57 жінок зі стресовим нетриманням сечі пременопаузального віку, яким з метою корекції проявів захворювання була запропонована лазерна терапія. Групу порівняння сформували 76 пацієнток пременопаузального віку зі стресовим нетриманням сечі, які отримували консервативне лікування. Всім пацієнткам обстежених груп, крім загально-клінічного обстеження, проводилось визначення маркерів синтезу (Total P1NP, Total P3NP) та резорбції (дезоксипіридинолін Pyriliks – D) сполучної тканини на початковому рівні, одразу після лікування та через 6 місяців лікування, тривалість дослідження становила десять місяців. Результати клінічного дослідження продемонстрували, що у даної категорії пацієнток на тлі застосування лазерної терапії відмітився достовірно-позитивний ефект, отриманий в результаті лікування, спрямованого на підвищення середнього рівня маркеру синтезу колагену I типу та зниження середнього рівня маркеру синтезу колагену III типу, а також нормалізації середнього рівня маркера резорбції сполучної тканини. Дослідження емпірично підтверджує та теоретично доводить, що використання лазерної терапії є патогенетично-обумовленим, адже його позитивний ефект реалізується шляхом впливу на сполучну тканину сечо-статевої діафрагми, стимуляцію вироблення колагену І типу та синергічне пригнічення продукції колагену ІІІ типу та Pyriliks-D. Результати проведеного дослідження можуть бути корисними для лікарів гінекологічних стаціонарів, лікарів загальної практики і сімейної медицини та лікарів жіночих консультацій.
TUMOR-INFILTRATING LYMPHOCYTES IN TRIPLE NEGATIVE BREAST CANCER: CORRELATIVE ANALYSES OF OWN DATA AND LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Zakhartseva Liubov , Yanovytska Mariia
Published: January 2020

The article summarizes data and presents own study about the value of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes as a prognostic factor for breast cancer including triple negative breast cancer lacking estrogen and progesterone receptors and HER2\new amplification. This tumor group is heterogeneous and has lower overall and disease-free survival rates; therapeutic options for this tumor group are limited compared to luminal and HER2-positive tumors. Triple negative breast tumors attract the attention of scientists as they require more individualized approach and additional prognostic factors in the treatment. The aim of this study is to conduct correlation analysis of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes with survival rates, stage of disease and degree of differentiation of triple negative breast tumors. Also determination of the most "immunogenic" histological subgroups of triple negative breast cancer is done, as well as comparing of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes measurement as a continuous number and divided into groups. Samples (n = 143) from patients with triple negative breast cancer undergoing treatment at the Kyiv City Clinical Oncology Center during 2010-2015 were used. The assessment of the number of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes was performed on histological glasses retrospectively, following the recommendations of an international group for the determination of immune-oncological biomarkers. The number of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes was evaluated as a continuous number and also divided into groups A (0-10%), B (10-40%) and C (40-90%). According to the results of the study, there was a high direct correlation between the continuous number of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and divided into groups (A, B, C). A weak direct correlation was found between tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and tumor differentiation rates, a weak inverse correlation between tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes count and overall survival and stage of disease, in particular tumor size. The rate of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes for all carcinomas with medullary characteristics was 100%, indicating a high "immunogenicity" of this histological subtype of tumors. The study confirms that tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes act as an additional prognostic marker for malignant breast tumors, in particular, triple negative breast cancer. Determination of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes is advisable in the routine practice of the pathologist who investigates malignant breast tumors since it requires no additional reactions and is economically viable. It is advisable to use the recommendations of an international group of the determination of immuno-cancer biomarkers for the distribution of this indicator by groups A, B, C for convenience of description.

Published: January 2020

Fish is traditionally complemented to rice in the diet of Bangladeshi. Thus, its daily consumption is pretty normal. Although, a number of researches have been done on river fish and its consumption, there seems a few in the public that specifically studied consumer preference for sea fish consumption in Bangladesh. This study, therefore, explores the consumers’ preference for sea fish consumption in Dhaka city of Bangladesh. A cross sectional survey design was followed to collect data from 120 respondents in four quota sampled areas of the city, namely; Uttara, Khilkhet, Mirpur and Jatrabari. The results revealed that 20 species of sea fish were usually brought to the markets patronised in the selected areas, but 17 were commonly consumed. The consumers mostly preferred Tenualosa ilisha (95.83%), Pampus chinensis (91.67%), Penaeus monodon (75.0%), Lates calcarifer (74.17%), Euthynnus affinis (62.5%) and Harpadon nehereus (58.33%) for their taste whereas, Pama pama (33.33%) and Setipinna taty (46.67%) were preferred for lower price. The average monthly household sea fish consumption was 5.49 kg. Age, level of education, gender, annual income and religious view were found to have significant positive association with household sea fish consumption. Respondents preferred sea fish for health benefits related to heart, eye-sight, nutrient enrichment, diseases protection and prevention of depression. However, irregular supply of sea fish and higher price were pointed by the respondents as the main constraining factors to sea fish consumption. Generally, Bangladesh is blessed with vast sea fish resources, but consumers’ accessibility need to be strengthened.

Published: January 2020

The study was conducted in three districts viz., Sirajgonj, Gazipur and Satkhira during the mustard, litchi, and mangrove blooming period, respectively during 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 cropping seasons to study honey production efficiency of traditional hive and poly super hive. The study was carried out in paired plot design. Fourteen boxes were used in each setup, among them seven were traditional hive and seven were poly super hive. In Ullapara of Sirajganj district during 2015-16 poly super hive yielded the highest (17.03 kg hive-1season-1) honey. In 2016-17 (mustard) the highest honey was harvested from poly super hive operated at Tarash (18.63 kg hive-1season-1) and the lowest honey yielded in poly super hive at Shahjadpur. At Kapasia of Gazipur during 2015-2016 (litchi) the poly super hive produced the highest (20.46 kg hive-1season-1) honey yield cropping season and the lowest (20 kg hive-1season-1) was in Kaliganj (Gazipur district). On the other hand, during 2016-2017 it was observed that in poly super hive produced the highest (14.92 kg hive-1season-1) honey operated in Gazipur Sadar and the lowest (13.93 kg hive-1season-1) was in Kaliganj. In Satkhira during 2015-16 cropping season (mangrove) the poly super hive gave the highest (14.92 kg hive-1season-1) honey yield and it was obtained from Tala and the lowest (14.65 kg hive-1season-1) honey was yielded and it obtained in Kaliganj. Again during cropping season 2016-17 poly super hive produced the highest (12.5 kg hive-1season-1) honey and it was from Tala and the lowest (11.45 kg hive-1season-1) in Munshiganj. There was significantly less honey production was recorded in traditional bee hives than the poly super hive. During 2016-17 season honey production was higher than 2015-16 season at Sirajganj. However, opposite result was observed at Gazipur and Satkhira.

Published: January 2020

Structural and functional abnormalities of the microcirculation can impair myocardial perfusion which is called coronary microvascular dysfunction and the resulting ischemia is known as microvascular ischaemia. Most of the researches have focused on the epicardial coronary arteries while addressing angina pectoris. Although the importance of the coronary microcirculation in maintaining appropriate myocardial perfusion has been recognized for several decades, the substantial morbidity of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) has not been appreciated until recently. It is not possible to diagnose of microvascular angina clinically with the current knowledge. Resting or exercise electrocardiogram is nondiagnostic. Imaging with speckle tracking in echocardiography may reveal focal diastolic and/or systolic dysfunction. Other noninvasive investigations includes, Contrast stress echocardiography, 99Tc-sestamibi imaging, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR),Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy may show some degree of abnormality. Invasive methods like intracoronary adenosine and acetylecholine test may guide us to diagnose CMD. No guideline directed medical therapy is still available for the CMD. Risk factors modification like smoking cessation and weight-loss may improve endothelial dysfunction and CMD. Beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and statin are now used in different clinical condition related to microvascular angina. After these medical treatment patient with microvascular angina have higher risk of MACE compared with people without angina. So, physicians must be aware of this potentially fatal but under recognized clinical entity.

Authors: Said Abdelkarim Taher , Abd El-Hafez Fouly Mohamed , Zahrah Ashraf
Published: January 2020

Background: The available methods to assess left atrial function (LAF) have some limitations as angle dependence and opposite distortion. The objective of the current study was to evaluate LAF in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) of ischemic (IDCM) and non-ischemic etiologies (NIDCM) using speckle tracking echocardiography (STE).

Methods: 52 patients with systolic heart failure were included in our study; 27 with IDCM and 25 with NIDCM along with 15 healthy controls. All patients underwent conventional echocardiography, tissue doppler imaging, and speckle tracking echocardiography. The later modality was used to compare left atrial function in IDCM and NIDCM groups.

Results: We found the left atrial maximum volume and the left atrial total emptying volume to be higher in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy compared to healthy patients (52.19 ± 6.01 vs.  21.87 ± 1.69 cm3/m2; p <0.001 and 28.67 ± 4.34 vs. 15.67 ± 2.02 cm3/m2, respectively). Conversely, left atrial emptying index and left atrial active ejection fraction were lower in patients with DCM compared to healthy controls (9.60 ± 2.29 vs. 8.27 ± 3.01 cm3/m2; p< 0.001 and 23 ± 2.56 vs. 37.47 ± 3.54 %; p<0.001, respectively). When comparing the IDCM group with NIDCM patients, we found no significant difference in left atrial maximum volume and left atrial active emptying volume. However, the NIDCM patients had significantly lower left atrial total emptying volume, and left atrial active ejection fraction (8.93 ± 1.86 vs. 9.60 ± 2.29 cm3/m2 and 23 ± 2.56 vs. 31.19 ± 1.66 %; p<0.001). on comparing strain function, DCM patients had lower systolic (28.22 ± 3.84 vs. 60.87 ± 3.07 %, p<0.001), and left atrial systolic strain rate (-2.66 ± 0.45 vs. -3.81 ± 0.35; p = 0.003) compared to healthy controls. All strains and strain rates were signiﬁcantly lower in NIDCM patients compared to IDCM patients.

 

Conclusion: STE is a promising method for evaluating LAF in DCM patients. Patients with DCM had significantly lower left atrial systolic and late diastolic strains and strain rates compared to healthy patients. Moreover, NIDCM could be differentiated from IDCM by having more impairment in the LA dynamic reservoir and booster pump function.
Satellite monitoring of clouds over deep fault zones, short-term earthquake forecast and seismic activity in Ukraine
Authors: Vorobiov Anatolii , Golubov Stanislav
Published: January 2020

The article substantiates the possibilities of satellite monitoring of deep fault zones during the formation of a source of strong and catastrophic earthquakes and the manifestations of precursors of strong and catastrophic earthquakes - foreshocks, which manifest themselves in the form of cloud anomalies over a period of time from two weeks to several days. In recent years, cloud cover anomalies have been recorded before relatively weak earthquakes that occurred in southern Ukraine. It is very important that earthquakes occur in the Dnieper-Donetsk Depression (DDZ). An analysis of the tectonic map of the remote sensing data with the position of the epicenters of earthquakes that occurred in 2010 and 2015 showed that these earthquakes are confined to zones of deep faults or their intersections. The article proposed an earthquake prediction technology, which includes two stages. At the first stage, based on the results of spatial-temporal analysis, maps of the parameters of earthquakes (dates, coordinates of epicenters, depths of hypocenters) are built, which occur over a certain period of time, which allows you to determine the area of ​​increased seismic activity. At the second stage, research is being carried out in this area on satellite monitoring of cloud anomalies in order to short-term forecast strong earthquakes.

Edukacja i resocjalizacja więziennych matek przez macierzyństwo
Authors: Toroń-Fórmanek Barbara
Published: January 2020

Od pierwszych chwil życia dziecko podlega procesowi uczenia się. Pierwszym wzorcem staje się dla niego matka, od której uczy się podstaw. Nie chodzi tylko o słowa  i zachowania, ale także o sposób funkcjonowania w społeczeństwie. Jeśli nie nauczy się tego we wczesnych latach swojego rozwoju, z pewnością dojdzie do zaburzenia procesu socjalizacji. Analiza biografii osadzonych kobiet pokazuje, że ich socjalizacja w większości przypadków była zaburzona, a co za tym idzie – powielały one nieprawidłowe wzorce w dorosłym życiu. Częstokroć te z nich, które na wolności były już matkami, zaniedbywały obowiązki macierzyńskie, zaś te, które stały się nimi w warunkach izolacji, nie są dostatecznie (lub wcale) przygotowane do pełnienia takiej roli. Edukacja jako integralna część resocjalizacji pełni tu kluczową rolę. Skazane matki odbywające karę pozbawienia wolności wraz z dziećmi mają możliwość nauczenia się prawidłowych postaw i zachowań w stosunku do swoich dzieci poprzez udział w licznych formach pomocowych i warsztatowych. Procesowi edukacji powinny podlegać nie tylko one same, ale także ich dzieci, które w warunkach wolnościowych będą musiały umieć znaleźć swoje miejsce w społeczeństwie. Edukacja i resocjalizacja przez miłość matki do dziecka to skuteczna metoda służąca inkluzji

The fishes were divided into four categories of groups at two periods; the former at infection (at 90th day of feeding period) and the latter at post infection (14 days after the challenge period). The first and second groups (T1 and T2) were considered as negative and positive controls (both fed on standard diet), respectively, while the third and fourth groups (T3 and T4) represent dietary chitosan and dietary antibiotic supplement, respectively. All groups, except T1, were challenged by bacteria at 90th day of feeding period. Liver of positive control revealed severe degeneration, especially around hepatic vein with congestion and fibrosis, while the spleen exhibited haemorrhage, lymphocytosis and lymphatic accumulation of white pulp with hemosiderin. The histopathological changes in liver of chitosan group at the infection period were characterized by vacuolation, inflammatory cells and hemorrhage, while necrosis and swelling of hepatocytes and infiltration with inflammatory cells at post infection period. The spleen at the infection period was suffered from leukocytosis, accumulation of inflammatory cells and macrophages, presence of focus from phagocytic macrophages. The liver in antibiotic group of infection period displayed narrowing of the sinusoid, swelling of hepatocytes and infiltration with inflammatory cells, hyperplasia in the bile duct, while the abnormal accumulation of lymphatic follicles. At postinfection period, the spleen showed thickness at the wall capsule, presence of homogeneous pinkish matter around arteriole in the red pulp and lymphocytosis in the white pulp. The supplemented chitosan groups showed a significant decrease in the mortality percentage . The supplemented chitosan groups showed a significant decrease in the mortality percentage.

Authors: Susidamaiyanti Susidamaiyanti
Published: January 2020

One of the challenges in teaching English as a foreign language to students in Indonesia is the existence of Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA) that are faced by students at any level of education. FLA has hindered the students in mastering English, especially in Speaking Skill, it is shown by their performances in the class which are too nervous, shy, unwilling to participate and lack of confidence.Gardner and McIntyre,(1987) stated that FLA negatively impacts the quality of learning and is a critical factor in learners’ success or failure in learning a foreign language. Based on the aforementioned statements, it means reducing students’ language anxiety can enhance their overall learning experience and improve motivation and achievement.Thus, for many years, some researchers have attempted to find the most suitable techniques and methods to help students overcome this problem. Some of which is by providing them a conducive learning environment, the culture of caring and of course, a non-threatening atmosphere in the classroom. For that reason, this paper isintended to propose a technique to reduce the students’ anxiety; that is cooperative learning. By using cooperative learning, it is expected that it can overcome this problem, as this technique offers a good language-learning environment in which the process of learning dealing with cooperativeness rather than competitiveness. This is in line with Krashen (1982). He, through his Affective Filter Hypothesis, contends that one of the factors of language acquisition to happen is in a low-filter language-learning environment.
