Ordenando los órdenes: la 'Ordonnance' de Claude Perrault y la columnata este del Louvre
Authors: Allais Lucía
Published: October 2022

Gian Lorenzo Bernini abandonó París en octubre de 1665. Dejaba atrás tres proyectos no construidos para la fachada oriental del Louvre, una corte palaciega y un rey decepcionados y la pequeña esperanza de que la tirante relación entre la monarquía francesa y el papado italiano pudiera ser reestablecida. El viaje de Bernini a Francia había sido orquestado en nombre de la conveniencia política y arquitectónica: al doble problema de un palacio sin una fachada adecuada y una diplomacia sin una verdadera sintonía, los talentos de Bernini ofrecían, potencialmente, una solución única. Uno de sus proyectos, a pesar de su marcha, estaba todavía en construcción.

La estrategia técnica de la Arquitectura
Authors: Saleme Horacio
Published: October 2022

La arquitectura se puede definir como el arte de ordenar el espacio para satisfacer las necesidades del hombre. El verdadero soporte del espacio arquitectónico es la estructura, que lo encierra y lo moldea. Cuando esta estructura posibilita el espacio que la voluntad de forma del arquitecto busca, por razones religiosas, simbólicas, intelectuales, funcionales, estéticas o las que fueren, sin violentar los materiales, pidiéndoles sólo lo que pueden dar, estamos ante la obra de Arquitectura.

Comparing E-Bike Users’ Perceptions of Safety: The Case of Lausanne, Switzerland
Authors: Marincek Dimitri
Published: October 2022

Electrically-assisted bicycles (E-bikes) may broaden cycling to a wider spectrum of users, territories, and trips. But what are e-bike users’ experiences of safety in a low-cycling city, and how do they vary among different users? This paper conceptualizes perceived safety based on vélomobility as the meeting point between users with specific characteristics (age, gender, etc.) and an environment more or less amenable to cycling. It is based on data from a survey of 1260 e-bike users who received a subsidy in Lausanne, Switzerland. We use 13 variables to measure perceived safety, finding 3 components: comfort for cycling in different situations, satisfaction with cycling conditions, and barriers to e-bike use. Based on these components, we identify four groups of e-bike users: (1) confident all-rounders, (2) recreational on-roaders, (3) worried traffic-avoiders and (4) unconfident path-users. We find gender and age to be the main factors associated with being a member of a group with lower perceived safety. Low weekly frequency of e-bike use, reduced winter e-bike use, and cycling for recreational trips exclusively also reduce perceived safety. Despite the benefits of electrical assistance compared to conventional bicycles, low safety due to unwelcoming road conditions remains a major concern for many e-bike users.
Dostoevsky: Foreshadowing of Philosophical Anthropology, Hermeneutics and Phenomenology
Authors:   Tomsk State University, Russian Federation, Petrova Galina , Tarabanov Nikolai ,   Tomsk State University, Russian Federation
Published: October 2022

The purpose of the article is to substantiate the hypothetically expressed proposition that Dostoevsky in his work proposed for comprehension and understanding of the problem of man and consciousness such ideas that (and this is the performative potential of his philosophy) received theoretical conceptualization only in the XX-XXI centuries. We are talking primarily about his foreshadowing of philosophical anthropology, hermeneutics and phenomenology. The realization of this goal, framed in the article through the substantiation of the concept of ‘mystery’ as a category of philosophical anthropology, and the comprehension of Dostoevsky’s work in the context of the ideas of modern philosophy, are the novelty of the article. We argue that Dostoevsky supplemented the categorical apparatus of philosophy with the concept of mystery, foreseeing the specifics of the language of description, which became relevant to the specifics of modern philosophical and anthropological discoveries and socio-ontological constructions. The research methods of the designated topic are dictated by the target setting. With the help of the comparative method, we demonstrate the relationship between the provisions of these modern philosophical trends with the provisions expressed in the literary and philosophical form by Dostoevsky. The comparison shows the historical cultivation of anthropological content in the hermeneutic-phenomenological direction of the study of consciousness, which in Dostoevsky’s works manifested itself in all the complexity of its own structure, not reduced only to reason and intellect. In addition, we reveal the phenomenon of unhappy consciousness found in ‘Notes from the Underground’ and make an assumption about intersubjective (pluralistic) idealism, which justifies the uniqueness of a person and the ‘non-fusion’ of his consciousness, which is not amenable to generalizations of logic and does not fit into the laws of nature. Pluralistic idealism is an original metaphysical concept, which Dostoevsky substantiates with his work and within which he finds the definition of man as a mystery. On the way to the development of ‘new horizons’, the article supplements the categorical apparatus of phenomenology, when in the categorical series (‘intentionality’, ‘epoché’, ‘natural attitude’, ‘phenomenological reduction’) a concept appears, expressed in an artistic and figurative form, – ‘mystery’.

Published: October 2022

Objective

Alcohol use is a known risk factor for suicidality, yet this relationship has not been explored during the pandemic in Canada. As a growing body of evidence demonstrates the negative impact of COVID-19 on alcohol consumption and associated harms in Canada, there is a need to examine this more closely.

Methods

Using the Survey on COVID-19 and Mental Health 2020, we compared the prevalence of suicide ideation among: (1) individuals who reported an increase in alcohol consumption vs those who reported a decrease/no change, and (2) individuals who reported past month heavy episodic drinking vs those who did not. We compared overall unadjusted odds ratios and across a number of sociodemographic and mental health variables. All estimates were weighted to ensure they were nationally representative.

Results

The prevalence and likelihood of suicide ideation were significantly higher among people who reported increased alcohol consumption during the pandemic (4.9% vs 2.0%; OR = 2.6, 95% CI: 1.8, 3.7) and people who reported past month heavy episodic drinking (3.4% vs 2.1%; OR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.2, 2.3). Males and middle-aged and older-aged individuals had the highest odds ratios for increased alcohol consumption and past month heavy episodic drinking with suicide ideation.

Conclusion

In the Canadian general population during the COVID-19 pandemic, there were significant associations between suicide ideation and increased alcohol use as well as past month heavy episodic drinking across specific sociodemographic subgroups. Future research could explore these associations while adjusting for social determinants of health such as income security, employment, education, social support, stress, and mental health.

Modüler çok seviyeli dönüştürücüler için genelleştirilmiş bir kapasitör gerilim dengeleme şeması ve örnekleme frekansı analizi
Authors: KURTOĞLU Mehmet , EROĞLU Fatih , VURAL Ahmet Mete
Published: October 2022

Modüler çok seviyeli dönüştürücüler (MÇD), modüler yapısı, yüksek verimliliği ve kaliteli çıkış dalga formu sayesinde orta ve yüksek güçlü endüstriyel uygulamalarda sıklıkla kullanılmaktadırlar. MÇD’ler literatürde yer alan çeşitli darbe genişlik modülasyon teknikleriyle kontrol edilebilmektedirler. Düşük harmonik değerlerde sonuç vermesi ve kolay kontrol imkânı sunması sayesinde en yakın seviye modülasyon (ESM) yöntemi MÇD uygulamalarında tercih edilmektedir. ESM yöntemi için örnekleme frekans değerinin seçimi, MÇD çıkış performans parametreleri açısından önem arz etmektedir. Bununla birlikte, MÇD alt modüllerinde yer alan kapasitör gerilimlerinin referans değerde kalması için kullanılan modülasyon tekniğine uygun olarak gerilim dengeleme algoritmasına da ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu makalede, ESM yöntemi tabanlı genelleştirilen bir kapasitör gerilim dengeleme algoritması önerilerek, MÇD’nin çıkış parametreleri üzerindeki örnekleme frekansı etkisi analiz edilmiştir. Önerilen algoritma, farklı sayıda alt modül kullanımına göre genelleştirilerek tüm olası alt modül durumlarına uyarlanabilmektedir. Önerilen algoritma sayesinde, kapasitör gerilim dengeleme akış işlemi hızlanmakta, nispeten karmaşık bir algoritmadan ve daha fazla işlemci alanı gereksiniminden tasarruf edilmektedir. Birim zamanda daha fazla sayıda işlem yapılmasıyla ve tüm alt modüllerin olabildiğince eşit oranda kullanımıyla MÇD performansına da olumlu katkı sağlanmaktadır. Ek olarak, alt modül sayısının fazla olduğu MÇD uygulamalarında da önerilen algoritma işlem hızını önemli ölçüde düşürecektir. Bu çalışmada; üç-faz, 7-seviyeli, yarım-köprü alt modül tabanlı MÇD tasarlanmıştır. Önerilen kapasitör gerilim dengeleme algoritması, MÇD’nin üst ve alt kollarına ayrı ayrı uygulanmış ve kol gerilimleri kontrol edilmiştir. Ayrıca, MÇD için çıkış gerilim ve akım dalga formlarının toplam harmonik bozulma ve temel frekans bileşen büyüklük değerinin yanı sıra alt modül kapasitör gerilimlerinin denge kalitesi üzerindeki örnekleme frekansı etkisi ele alınmıştır. Önerilen algoritma kullanılarak farklı durum çalışmaları altında tasarlanan MÇD modelinin performans değerlendirmesi sunulmuştur. ESM yöntemi için gerekli minimum örnekleme frekansının altında ve üzerinde seçilen 0.5, 5 ve 20 kHz değerlerinde MÇD’nin tüm çıkış parametrelerinin ve kapasitör gerilimlerinin değişimleri incelenmiştir. Buna bağlı olarak, tüm parametreler açısından en uygun örnekleme frekans aralığı tespit edilmiştir. Önerilen kapasitör gerilim dengeleme algoritmasının geçerliliği ve uygulanabilirliği farklı durum çalışmaları yardımıyla simülasyon ortamında test edilmiş ve doğrulanmıştır.

Amaçları önceden tanımlanmış görevlerle ortaya konulan ve genellikle otomatik uygulamalar bağlamında anlamlı olan imge bölütleme problemi, ilgilenilen belli piksellerin çevrelerinden yalıtılmasını ele alır. İmgelerde çok ve ham durumda bulunarak artıklık, yararsızlık ve hatta görev-zorlaştırma barındıran verinin basitleştirilip, yalnız ilginç bölümleri içeren derlitoplu gösterimlerinin elde edilmesi ve bu bölümlerden tanımlayıcı özniteliklerin çıkarılması gerekir. Bu çalışmada, özel bir alanla ilgili olan ve ultrason görüntüleme ile edinilen enine-kesit fetal kafataslarını gösteren monokrom imgelerdeki kafatası çevritlerinin bulunması için kullanılan buluşsal bir yaklaşımdan söz edilmektedir. Bölütleme sürecinin başında, kullanıcının girdi imgedeki kafatası çevriti üstünde az sayıda noktayı elle işaretlemesi beklenmektedir. Çevritlerin parlak yoğunluklu piksellerden oluştuğu olgusundan ve görüntüleme teknolojisinden kaynaklanan bölütler arasında kopukluklar gözlenmesinden hareketle, açıklanan buluşsal bölütleme yöntemi, ortalama şekil modeli ve yoğunluğa-dayalı ortalama konum bulma kavramlarından yararlanmaktadır. Örnek imgelerdeki sonuçlar, hem görsel olarak hem de otomatik tanı sistemlerinde girdi olarak kullanıldığında, doyurucudur.

Machine learning approaches to identify profiles and predictors of psychosocial discomfort among Italian college students
Authors: Buizza Chiara , Dagani Jessica , Ferrari Clarissa , Cela Herald , Ghilardi Alberto
Published: October 2022

Introduction. College students live a crucial period of transition from late adolescence to adulthood when they have to deal with important stressful tasks. Thus, university often represents a stressful environment, pushing students to cope with a high academic pressure. As a result, this period constitutes a sensitive age for the onset of mental disorders. Typically, students are not aware of the early signs of their own compromised mental health until symptoms aggravate to an overt disorder. Therefore, it is important to timely detect subthreshold symptoms mostly related to generic mental distress. Objective. First, to assess psychophysical well-being and mental distress among college students in northern Italy, and to detect predictors, among socio-demographic and academic characteristics, and risky drug use of these two outcomes. Method. The study involved 13,886 students who received an email explaining the purpose of the e-research. The questionnaires used were the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), the University Stress Scale (USS), and a modified version of World Health Organization-ASSIST v3.0. Results. 3,754 students completed the web-survey. Students showed poor well-being and mental distress. The strongest predictor of mental distress and compromised well-being was physical health, followed by sex, study field, risky drug use, and academic performance concerns. Discussion and conclusion. This study shows that it is very important to promote in college students healthy behaviors in order to increase their physical exercise and reduce substance use. Moreover, it would be desirable to improve academic counselling facilities as an important front-line service to intercept mental health issues among young adults.

Correction of postkeratoplastic ametropia in patients with cataract
Authors: Sinitsyn Maksim V. , Pozdeyeva Nadezhda A.
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND: Penetrating keratoplasty leads, on the one hand, in 100% of cases, to the formation of induced astigmatism of variable degree, on the other hand, to a decrease in the density of endothelial cells of the corneal graft, which can reach from 19.1 to 38.3%. Thus, today the task of safe cataract extraction with minimal loss of density of endothelial cells and maximal correction of corneal astigmatism by the aid of an implantation of a toric intraocular lens is paramount.
AIM: The aim of the study is to conduct a clinical and functional analysis of cataract phacoemulsification with a toric intraocular lens implantation in patients after previously performed penetrating keratoplasty.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed phacoemulsification with implantation of a toric intraocular lens in 25 eyes (25 patients) having a history of penetrating keratoplasty. The 1st degree of the lens nucleus density (according to Buratto classification) was noted in 4 eyes, the 2nd degree in 17 eyes, the 3rd degree in 4 eyes. According to keratotopography, all patients had a symmetrical type of postkeratoplastic astigmatism. The average follow-up period was 1 year.
RESULTS: Intra- and postoperative complications were noted. One month after surgery, uncorrected visual acuity increased from an average of 1.3 1.6 to 0.3 0.9 LogMAR, best corrected visual acuity increased from 1.0 1.18 to 0.1 0.9 LogMAR, refractive astigmatism decreased from 7.5 2.43 to 1.43 0.38 D, and did not change during 1 year of follow-up. The density of endothelial cells decreased by 9% 1 year after surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: Cataract phacoemulsification with a toric intraocular lens implantation in patients after previously performed penetrating keratoplasty allows achieving high refractive results. Preoperative analysis of endothelial cell density, careful approach to the intraocular lens calculation, and standard protocol of phacoemulsification make this operation predictable and safe.
Understanding Anthropogenic Fault Rupture in the Eagle Ford Region, South-Central Texas
Authors: McKeighan Caroline , Hennings Peter , Horne Elizabeth A. , Smye Katie , Morris Alan
Published: October 2022

There is a well-known occurrence of felt seismicity and smaller seismic events in areas where hydraulic fracturing (HF) operations occur. The Eagle Ford shale play of south-central Texas experienced an increase in the rate of felt seismicity from 2014 to 2019, temporally coincident with petroleum development in the region. By mid-2019, the rate of seismicity decreased alongside a reduction in the rate of well completions, thus, prompting this investigation of the relationship between HF operations and geologic conditions that contribute to induced earthquake hazards. The goals of this work included mapping and conducting a geomechanical characterization of faults that delineate seismogenic regions of the Eagle Ford to understand the conditions that lead to inducing fault rupture. An integrated regional dataset composed of published data, wells, earthquakes, and interpretations from operators provided input for a 3D structural framework. Earthquake relocation analyses helped constrain the distribution of earthquakes that correlate to interpreted faults and enable identification of those that have been seismogenic. In-situ stress state of faults was analyzed to determine fault sensitivity in-situ. A spatiotemporal analysis of HF operations and earthquakes further revealed induced-earthquake clusters that are linked to specific faults. We show how seismogenic and aseismogenic fault systems relate to earthquakes by determining which faults are more sensitive and which faults have been seismogenic. Faulting is dominated by northwest–southwest-striking normal faults with 21% having hosted induced earthquakes since 2017. Faults in the Eagle Ford region have a geologically quasi-stable in-situ stress state. Using a conservative scheme, we directly associate 45% of earthquake ruptures to HF to build our analysis dataset. Of those events, 70% are located within 1 km of a mapped fault. Stress conditions on seismogenic faults show a wide range of sensitivity to rupture. This suggests that all faults close to HF operations should be considered as candidates likely to rupture.
Morphological, Physiological and Biochemical Responses of Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) Exposed to Salinity Stress
Authors: KELEŞ Bedri , AKBAŞ Filiz
Published: October 2022

The morphological, physiological (biomass, water content-WC) and biochemical (proline, membrane damage-malondialdehyde-MDA, H2O2 content) responses of safflower to NaCI salt stress in different concentrations (0, 50, 75, 150, and 300 mM) were investigated for the first time in in vitro conditions in this study. At the end of the 3-week period, it was determined that NaCl had a negative effect on germination percentages. The percentage of germination was 100% in the control group, while it decreased to 30% in 150 mM NaCl and 5% in 300 mM. In general, morphological development of seedlings was significantly slowed down and seedling growth was not observed at 300 mM concentration. It was determined that the WC, fresh weights, shoot and root length decreased in all NaCl concentrations but there was no significant decrease in dry weights. MDA, proline and H2O2 contents increased in safflower seedlings in parallel with the intensity of salt treatments. While the highest MDA and proline content was found in 150 mM NaCl treatment, the highest H2O2 content was found in 75 mM NaCl treatment. In the light of these data, it has been proven that the Balcı safflower variety is sensitive by showing a negative effect on the applied salt concentrations.

Observing of life cycle of aquatic insects can be easier and more reliable information can be collected by raising them in a controlled medium in the laboratory. There is insufficient information about larvae and other life stages in many species of aquatic insects. In order to identify and determine them properly, stages of larvae and pupa should be linked with their adult forms. In this study, the larvae of Hydropsyche instabilis Curtis, 1834 and Hydropsyche bulbifera McLachlan, 1878 (Hydropsychidae, Trichoptera) which were collected from the two rivers were reared in the laboratory. Additionally, it was collected detailed information about the morphological characters of larvae and adult forms. Moreover, it has been observed the process of metamorphosis in larvae and the emergence of adults. The morphological characters of the larvae and the male genital structures of the adults were photographed and explained. During the study, raising success of H. instabilis and H. bulbifera species was determined as 17.85% and 15.65%, respectively.

Annually, the Colombian Institute for the Promotion of Higher Education conducts the Saber Pro exam, as a requirement for the student to obtain the degree in public and private higher education institutions in the country. Evaluates generic competencies in: written communication, quantitative reasoning, critical reading, citizen skills and English. Diversity of research has been carried out with the published information of the Saber Pro tests: socioeconomic and other indices, comparative analyses of particular types of programs in different universities of the country, different multivariate statistical analyses that compare careers, universities, regions, etc. In this study, the average scores of the programs of the University of Pamplona in these tests are characterized and collated. A descriptive analysis, a principal component analysis and an analysis of variance are carried out in order to characterize and evaluate both differences and similarities between the results of the careers and faculties of Unipamplona. The university’s programs exhibit certain strengths in quantitative reasoning, critical reading, and citizenship competencies. The main weakness is diagnosed in written communication and also in English. Foreign Languages, in English, obtained the highest average (202) of the Unipamplona in a module. The Faculty of Basic Sciences is the best performing and significantly different (p < 0.05) from the rest. The Faculty of Health is the second with the best average, while the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences together with that of Economic and Social Sciences are the ones that show the lowest averages of the University in the state exam. Among the programs with thehighest university averages are: medicine, chemistry, foreign languages and geology.
Una mirada decolonial al aula de lengua materna
Authors: García-Dussan Éder
Published: October 2022

El artículo describe y analiza el enfoque intercultural para la enseñanza de la lengua española y focaliza una de sus fortalezas: el enfrentamiento a las formas de dominio y control sobre los sujetos. Una de las apuestas que se destaca es la que supone, en los procesos pedagógico-didácticos, los efectos de la colonización tal como se manifiestan en las prácticas comunicativas, los que usualmente aparecen ocultos en la estructura de la lengua. Se puntualiza tal tesis con casos comunes presentes en la versión dialectal andina del español colombiano. Los resultados revelan, por un lado, que no siempre en las prácticas lingüísticas sus usuarios tienen una consciencia intercultural de los orígenes y efectos de los rasgos identitarios que se ponen en escena; y, por otro lado, que pensar en la enseñanza de lenguas obliga a reafirmar que esta pasa por una reflexión de cómo se filtran y reflejan elementos de las ‘colonialidades del ser’ y ‘colonialidades del saber’ padecidas en Colombia desde el siglo XVI. Esto arroja la categoría de ‘lógica cultural mestiza’.

Background: An osteoarthritis (OA) pilot was initiated in an interprofessional clinic to provide a learning opportunity for practitioners to provide integrated care in the setting of OA to improve health outcomes and quality of life in patients living with osteoarthritis. This study was a qualitative analysis performed following the completion of the pilot. Purpose: To determine effective processes that support integrated care to best serve those living with osteoarthritis. Methods: Flyers and neighborhood mailers were provided to the community to inform patients of the OA pilot. Patients were screened by the nurse practitioner and physical therapists to ensure they met osteoarthritis criteria (> 45 years, were experiencing activity-related joint pain, and had no morning joint-related stiffness, or > 30 minutes of morning stiffness). The interventions included one integrated care visit (in-person) followed by telehealth care thereafter. Telehealth visits obtained patient feedback, provided further patient guidance based on patient-response to care plans, and to evaluate change in function, medication usage, and pain management from baseline. The following questions aided researchers to organize our findings following the 3-month pilot: (1) What methods were utilized to aid in patient function and mobility improvement? (2) What was done to ensure safe and effective medication use? (3) How best to utilize each practitioner so that (a) methods for pilot duplication were determined and (b) integrated care best practices were established? Results: Function and mobility improvement were exhibited in 100% of the patients. Mental health services were utilized to overcome fear of movement and fear of pain barriers to mobility. Half of the patients were originally performing movement exercises that were harmful to their condition prior to obtaining a consult with the physical therapist. The pharmacist-driven medication review during the initial consult identified 88% of the patients were utilizing suboptimal medications for the management of their OA, and 25% were using unsafe dietary supplements. All unsafe medication and dietary-supplement usage was resolved. Establishing care with a team visit supported integrated healthcare engagement. Telehealth and incorporation of healthcare students for follow-up calls were effective for utilization of all practitioners, patient engagement, and supported improved patient outcomes. Conclusion: The findings of this study outline best practices that support integrated care, integrated education, and improved patient outcomes.

The Danish National Partial Oral Treatment of Endocarditis Trial (POET) demonstrated non-inferiority of partly peroral compared to intravenous antibiotic therapy for infective endocarditis (IE) caused by Streptococcus spp, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, or coagulase-negative staphylococci. Identifications by whole genome sequencing (WGS) of available streptococcal strains were related to clinical data. Sequences were obtained using Illumina technology (MiseqÒ) followed by core genome analysis and single-nucleotide polymorphism phylogeny examinations. Average nucleotide identification (ANI) calculated using the tool fastANI. Informations on +/- preexisting valve prosthesis, valve surgery and outcome related to obtained identifications. Streptococcal strains (n=123) from 117 patients were WGS examined. Twelve percent were pyogenic group strains and 88% belonged to viridans groups, mainly mitis and bovis groups. Phylogenetic trees were in accordance regarding species and subspecies identifications. High ANI percentages to type strains were found. Respectively 39, 60 and 16 IE cases involved mitral, aortic or both valves. IE caused by pyogenic group or mitis plus bovis group streptococci most frequent affected, respectively, mitral and aortic valves. Thirty-one patients (26%) had a preexisting prosthesis; notably, in 50% of bovis group IE cases. Fifty-six patients had valve surgery done during the current disease; 8% and 93% of patients having, respectively, pyogenic group and mitis group strains as causative agents. Of patients allocated to intravenous or intravenous followed by peroral antibiotic treatment, respectively 26 and 30 had valve surgery done during the current disease. Composite outcome (all-cause mortality, unplanned cardiac surgery, embolic events, or relapse of bacteremia with the primary pathogen) at five-year follow-up comprised in total 39 events. In conclusion, molecular examinations adds on substantially by detailing species and subspecies affiliations. A broad spectrum of streptococcal species and subspecies causing IE were identified with mitis- and bovis group strains dominating. Relating strain identifications to clinical data can assist in planning and treating confirmed/suspected IE patients. Adding WGS identification of streptococci in selected patients groups (e.g. IE) in order to expand number of cases characterized in detail seems ideal and advocates for centralized registration of results to reveal important clinical relations.
Mechanistic role of redox-active trace metals/Toll like receptor 4-coupled activation in AP-1 signalling pathway in fibroblast-like synovial cells
Authors: Alsousi Asmaa , Igwe Orisa
Published: October 2022

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are implicated in playing a role in initiating and in propagating the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We investigated the mechanism(s) by which essential redox-active trace metals (RATM) may activate gene transcription in synovial fibroblasts. The rabbit fibroblast-like synovial cells which express Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), were used as a model system for potentially initiating RA through oxidative stress. Potassium peroxychromate (PPC, Cr5+), ferrous chloride (FeCl2, Fe2+), and cuprous chloride (CuCl, Cu+) at the indicated valency states were used as exogenous pro-oxidants. These trace metals can induce oxidative stress through TLR4 activation to release inflammatory cytokines and high mobility group box 1 protein. We measured the total expression levels of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in the synovial cells and examined the effect of the redox-active trace metals on the time-course production of phosphorylated moieties of MAPK by fluorescence cell-sorting flow cytometry. TLR4 siRNA was used to examine the role of TLR4 in the activator protein -1 (AP-1) signalling activity, and western blots were used to measure the time-course phosphorylation levels of AP-1-activation-related proteins. While the redox-active trace metals increased intracellular ROS that can induce oxidative stress, they also induced MAPK kinases to upregulate the expression of AP-1 proteins in synovial cells. Our results show that redox-active trace metal/TLR4-coupled activation may contribute to the pathogenesis of RA. The signaling pathway by which inflammation and its destructive sequel may occur in RA through synovial cells underlies the need for developing therapeutic agents to serve in individualized RA therapy with a consideration for the underlying mechanism(s) of its pathogenesis.

Background: Covid-19 outbreak is found to be associated with increased levels mental health issues among the general population. The high prevalence of fatigue, anxiety and depression was also reported in patients on hemodialysis during Covid-19 pandemic as compared to pre-pandemic studies. Aims: This article determines the level of fatigue, anxiety and depression due to the challenges faced by patients undergoing hemodialysis and their caregivers during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in hemodialysis unit of a tertiary care hospital over the period of 3 months from August to October 2021, using validated questionnaire consisted of Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Results: Among 115 patients (age; mean 53.45 ± 13.9 S.D), fatigue was seen in 80%, anxiety in 67%, depression in 82.6%. While in their caregivers, the prevalence of fatigue was 73.6%, anxiety was 52.7%, depression was 59.1%. Logistic regression analysis showed that gender and challenges e.g. feeling additional burden while visiting the hospital and fear of getting infection and feeling of isolation/loneliness were the main risk predictors of fatigue, anxiety and depression in patients and their caregivers. Conclusions: In Pakistan the prevalence of fatigue, anxiety and depression due to the challenges of Covid-19 pandemic was significantly high among patients undergoing hemodialysis and their caregivers as compared to pre-covid era. This study gives firm grounds for future researches, which should ascertain the suitable interventions to lessen the fatigue, anxiety, and depression due to the challenges of any future pandemic or epidemic among patients undergoing hemodialysis and their family members.
