Background: Acute renal graft dysfunction (AGD) is one of the primary complications after kidney transplantation. The aim of this study was to identify the systemic oxidative DNA damage and apoptosis markers in patients with AGD, which will aid the understanding of the underlying processes of the complication.

Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in renal transplant (RT) recipients with and without AGD. The follow-up time of patients was <1 year. Using the ELISA technique, the markers of oxidative DNA damage (8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine and 8-oxoguanine-DNA-N-glycosylase-1) and apoptosis (caspase-3, caspase-8, soluble TNF receptor 1, and cytochrome C) were determined.

Results: Donor age was significantly higher in patients with AGD versus those without AGD (43±11 years versus 34.1±10.6 years, respectively; p<0.001). Levels of 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine were also significantly higher in AGD patients than those without AGD (624.1±15.3 ng/mL and 563.02± 17.4 ng/mL, respectively; p=0.039) and the DNA repair enzyme 8-oxoguanine-DNA-N-glycosylase-1 was significantly diminished in AGD patients versus non-AGD patients (7.60±1.8 ng/mL versus 8.13±1.70 ng/mL, respectively; p=0.031). A significant elevation of soluble TNF receptor levels in AGD patients was also found versus those without AGD (1178.6±25.2 ng/mL versus 142.6±39 ng/mL, respectively; p=0.03). Caspase-3 levels were higher in patients with AGD (1.19±0.21 ng/mL) versus those without AGD (0.79±0.11 ng/mL; p=0.121) and was also significantly augmented in AGD versus healthy control subjects (0.24±0.1 ng/mL; p=0.036). Cytochrome c in AGD patients was 0.32±0.09 ng/mL and 0.16±0.03 ng/mL in those without AGD versus 0.08±0.01 ng/mL in healthy controls (p=0.130 and p=0.184, respectively).

Conclusion: These findings suggest that oxidative DNA damage with insufficient DNA repair and higher levels of caspase-3 compared to controls are markers of apoptosis protein dysregulation in AGD patients.

Authors: Uygun Selçuk , Karaağaç Merve
Published: December 2022

Bu çalışmada, bir dönem Türk eğitim tarihinde yer alan üç yıllık eğitmenli köy ilkokullarının ikinci yılı için hazırlanmış bir eğitmen kılavuz kitabının yapılandırmacı yaklaşım çerçevesinde değerlendirmesi amaçlanmıştır. Türkiye’de eğitmenlik uygulaması 1936 yılında denemelerle başlamış, 1937 yılında kanunla resmiyet kazanmış ve 1948 yılına kadar sürdürülmüştür. Bu uygulama kapsamında, o yıllarda hiç okulu olmayan bazı köylerde üç yıllık eğitmenli köy ilkokulları açılmış ve bu okullara geçici statüde eğitmenler atanmıştır. Bu eğitmenler için uygulamanın başladığı yıllarda “üç yıllık eğitmen kılavuz kitapları” hazırlanmıştır. Bu kitaplardan “Köy Eğitmenleri İçin İkinci Yıl Öğretim Kılavuzu” kitabı, yapılandırmacı yaklaşıma göre doküman incelemesi kapsamında içerik analizine tabi tutularak betimlenmiştir. Yapılan analiz, inceleme ve değerlendirme sonucunda, dönemin koşulları da göz önüne alındığında kılavuz kitapta yer alan yönerge ve etkinliklerin birçoğunun yapılandırmacı yaklaşım anlayışına uygun olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu sonucu kitaptaki örnekler destekler niteliktedir. Buradan, eğitim araştırmacıları ve öğretmenler için şu öneride bulunulabilir: Yeni olarak öne sürülen bazı yaklaşım ve uygulamaların tarihi kökenleri eski olabilir. Daha etkili öğrenme süreçleri oluşturabilmek için bu tarihi birikimden yararlanmak kaçınılmazdır.

Authors: SKUTİL Martin
Published: December 2022

Changing societal demands and new disciplines place considerable pressure on teachers. The teacher must be able to absorb these innovations and transform them into a form that can be communicated to their pupils. For this, teachers need to be properly trained in undergraduate education, equipped with the necessary professional competences. The article is conceived as a qualitative study whereby on the basis of semi-structured interviews, the aim is to find out how primary school teachers assess their undergraduate training after five years' practice. The research results show that the undergraduate training can identify the strengths and weaknesses. Training in the subject field is perceived positively. Teachers have a positive attitude towards training for the preparation and implementation of lessons. The ability to organize and manage the educational process in the classroom is equally positive. The ability to obtain feedback and work with it is one of the other benefits in undergraduate training, this benefits pupils, as well as benefitting themselves. The ability to use diagnostics and intervention is on the borderline between positive and negative perception of training. Here, teachers appreciate the knowledge component positively, but lack more practical examples and cases in order to acquire more knowledge and apply it in practice. Inadequate training in the field of psychology, i.e. practical use of psychological knowledge, is generally perceived as the negative. Criticism is also directed at disciplinary didactics, which are too theoretical for teachers. However, as a whole, the undergraduate training system is assessed more positively.

In the last decades, the cultivation of quinoa and lupin became an important source of income for Andean farmers due to the demand for high nutrient-density foods from the Global North. The increase in the cultivation intensity caused by this exogenous demand led to the overexploitation of local ecosystems and a decrease in soil fertility. As an alternative to recover and improve soil quality, this work uses a pilot-scale auger pyrolysis reactor, implemented in the Andes, to assess the conversion of the agro residues generated in the post-harvesting processes of quinoa and lupin into biochar for soil amendment. Following the European Biochar Certificate guidelines, the pyrolyzed quinoa stems can be classified as biochar while the pyrolyzed quinoa husks can be classified as pyrogenic carbonaceous material. Both can be used for soil amendment considering their molar ratios (H/Corg, O/Corg) and carbon content. It was not possible to carbonize lupin stems and seedcases. Despite the altitude (2,632 m.a.s.l), the CO concentration during the carbonization of quinoa stems and husks were 1,024.4 and 559 mg/Nm3, this last, near the European eco-design standard of 500 mg/Nm3. A subsequent SWOT analysis showed the need to explore low-cost and low-complexity pyrolysis reactors that allow the decentralized conversion of agro residues at the farm-scale. The development of local standards to regulate the production and use of biochar is also essential to grant the safety of the processes, the quality of the products, and mobilize funds that allow implementation at relevant scales.

Published: December 2022

This paper describes a method to fabricate the 3D microfluidic channel using the free-standing, phase-change gallium mold. Three approaches to prepare the free-standing gallium molds are described. The solid metal framework is strong enough to stand against the gravity. After casting, the embedded gallium molds are melted from solid to liquid and then extracted from the encasing elastomer to form the 3D microfluidic channel due to the phase change property. Since this method is compatible with many encasing materials (e.g., elastomers, gels, resins, ceramics), the encasing materials will bring novel functionalities to the microfluidic chip. Two proof-of-concept experiments have been demonstrated. Firstly, a soft, sticky, on-skin microfluidic cooler is developed based on this method to deliver the focused, minimal invasive cooling power at arbitrary skins of human body with temperature control. Secondly, an ultra-stretchable viscoelastic microchannel with the ultra-soft base is fabricated to continuously tune the viscoelastic particle focusing with a large dynamic range. This proposed technique suggests the new possibilities for the development of lab-on-a-chip applications.
Scaling the living space: Zipf’s law for traditional courtyard houses in South China
Authors: Zhou Yizhi , Li Yiming
Published: December 2022

In the traditional feudalistic society of China, there is a characteristic residential pattern of several core families with common ancestors living together in one house, as far as possible. Hence, the habitation of large families and their social dynamic always have a complex function and hierarchical structure. In this article, we consider a courtyard in South China as an example to enable a discussion of the mathematical relationship among the five basic functional spaces in it. Based on Zipf’s law, we find that the distribution of the five types of spaces, from large to small, can be described by the Pareto distribution with a shape parameter close to −1. Moreover, the Zipf parameters of different houses in the same area conform to the double Pareto distribution. This suggests that the size and shape of a residence also follows well-defined scaling laws. Additionally, it indicates that houses, at least traditional Chinese houses, have strong self-organization and self-similarity. It also shows that the power law of the Pareto distribution is applicable not only to the macro scale of the city but also the micro scale of housing.

Aptamers are short single-strand oligonucleotides that can form secondary and tertiary structures, fitting targets with high affinity and specificity. They are so-called “chemical antibodies” and can target specific biomarkers in both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) is usually used for the enrichment and selection of aptamers, and the targets could be metal ions, small molecules, nucleotides, proteins, cells, or even tissues or organs. Due to the high specificity and distinctive binding affinity of aptamers, aptamer–drug conjugates (ApDCs) have demonstrated their potential role in drug delivery for cancer-targeting therapies. Compared with antibodies which are produced by a cell-based bioreactor, aptamers are chemically synthesized molecules that can be easily conjugated to drugs and modified; however, the conventional ApDCs conjugate the aptamer with an active drug using a linker which may add more concerns to the stability of the ApDC, the drug-releasing efficiency, and the drug-loading capacity. The function of aptamer in conventional ApDC is just as a targeting moiety which could not fully perform the advantages of aptamers. To address these drawbacks, scientists have started using active nucleotide analogs as the cargoes of ApDCs, such as clofarabine, ara-guanosine, gemcitabine, and floxuridine, to replace all or part of the natural nucleotides in aptamer sequences. In turn, these new types of ApDCs, aptamer nucleotide analog drug conjugates, show the strength for targeting efficacy but avoid the complex drug linker designation and improve the synthetic efficiency. More importantly, these classic nucleotide analog drugs have been used for many years, and aptamer nucleotide analog drug conjugates would not increase any unknown druggability risk but improve the target tumor accumulation. In this review, we mainly summarized aptamer-conjugated nucleotide analog drugs in cancer-targeting therapies.

Autophagy is an intracellular degradation system that maintains the stable state of cell energy metabolism. Some recent findings have indicated that autophagy dysfunction is an important driving factor for the occurrence and development of osteoarthritis (OA). The decrease of autophagy leads to the accumulation of damaged organelles and macromolecules in chondrocytes, which affects the survival of chondrocytes and ultimately leads to OA. An appropriate level of autophagic activation may be a new method to prevent articular cartilage degeneration in OA. This minireview discussed the mechanism of autophagy and OA, key autophagy targets regulating OA progression, and evaluated therapeutic applications of drugs targeting autophagy in preclinical and clinical research. Some critical issues worth paying attention to were also raised to guide future research efforts.

Published: December 2022

The etiologies and pathogenesis of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) with heart failure (HF) remain to be defined. Thus, exploring specific diagnosis biomarkers and mechanisms is urgently needed to improve this situation. In this study, three gene expression profiling datasets (GSE29819, GSE21610, GSE17800) and one single-cell RNA sequencing dataset (GSE95140) were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. GSE29819 and GSE21610 were combined into the training group, while GSE17800 was the test group. We used the weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and identified fifteen driver genes highly associated with DCM with HF in the module. We performed the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) on the driver genes and then constructed five machine learning classifiers (random forest, gradient boosting machine, neural network, eXtreme gradient boosting, and support vector machine). Random forest was the best-performing classifier established on five Lasso-selected genes, which was utilized to select out NPPA, OMD, and PRELP for diagnosing DCM with HF. Moreover, we observed the up-regulation mRNA levels and robust diagnostic accuracies of NPPA, OMD, and PRELP in the training group and test group. Single-cell RNA-seq analysis further demonstrated their stable up-regulation expression patterns in various cardiomyocytes of DCM patients. Besides, through gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), we found TGF-β signaling pathway, correlated with NPPA, OMD, and PRELP, was the underlying mechanism of DCM with HF. Overall, our study revealed NPPA, OMD, and PRELP serving as diagnostic biomarkers for DCM with HF, deepening the understanding of its pathogenesis.
Progress on the nephrite sources of jade artifacts in ancient China from the perspective of isotopes
Authors: Wang Rong , Shi Xiaowei
Published: December 2022

The use of isotopes is crucial for understanding the origin of jade/nephrite. This article first contrasts recent studies on the radioisotopes and stable isotopes of contemporary nephrite deposits in China, Baikal region, and South Korean Peninsula. It then reviews the isotopic analysis of the sources of nephrite artifacts in ancient China, highlighting the concentration of contemporary nephrite deposits with distinct isotopic fingerprints in three significant geographic areas, Northeast Asia, the Yellow River Basin, and South China Region. That is, with regard to Northeast Asia, S‐type and D‐type nephrite in Baikal region, and D‐type nephrite in Chuncheon of South Korea as well as Xiuyan and Kuandian of Liaoning Province can be distinguished well by the radioisotope mineralization age and hydrogen and oxygen isotopic values; with regard to the Upper Yellow River, the isotope method of hydrogen, oxygen and silicon isotopic values has the potential to distinguish the D-type and S-type nephrite in Xinjiang Province and Qinghai Province, while cannot distinguish the D-type nephrite from Hetian, Xinjiang Province and Lintao/Maxianshan, Gansu Province; with regard to South China, the isotope method of the radioisotope mineralization age and hydrogen and oxygen isotopic values has the potential to distinguish D-type nephrite from Fugong in Yunnan Province, Dahua in Guangxi Province and Luodian in Guizhou Province, and S-type nephrite in Hualian, Chinese Taiwan. It is recommended that isotopic database of jade materials from more deposits and excavated jadewares must be established, in order to answer significant archaeological questions regarding the role of jade material utilization in the origin, formation and development of Chinese jade culture and Chinese civilization.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a very rare cause of adrenal incidentalomas in Sweden
Authors: Sahlander Fredrik , Bensing Sophie , Falhammar Henrik
Published: December 2022

Background

Undiagnosed congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) can cause adrenal incidentalomas, but the frequency is unclear.

Objectives

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of CAH in a population with adrenal incidentalomas and report the clinical characterization.

Material and methods

This was a prospective study performed at a regional hospital from 2016 to 2021. Patients with adrenal incidentalomas were investigated with an adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-stimulation test in addition to hormonal workup. Serum cortisol and 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17OHP) were analyzed. Individuals with a basal or stimulated 17OHP ≥30 nmol/L were classified as suspicious non-classic CAH, and a CYP21A2-gene analysis was performed in these subjects.

Results

In total, 320 individuals with adrenal incidentalomas were referred to the center, and of these individuals, an ACTH-stimulation test was performed in 222 (median age, 67 (24–87) years; 58.6% women; and 11.7% with bilateral lesions). None of the individuals presented a basal 17OHP ≥30 nmol/L, but there were 8 (3.6%) who did after ACTH stimulation. Four of these subjects (50%) presented bilateral lesions, and the tumor size was larger compared to that of the individuals with a stimulated 17OHP <30 nmol/L (median, 38 (19–66) vs. 19 (11–85) mm, p=0.001). A CYP21A2 variation (p.Val282Leu) was detected in one of the eight subjects with a stimulated 17OHP ≥30 nmol/L, i.e., the patient was a heterozygotic carrier. None of the eight subjects presented with cortisol insufficiency or clinical signs of hyperandrogenism.

Conclusions

The prevalence of non-classic CAH in an adrenal incidentaloma cohort was 3.6% based on stimulated 17OHP and 0% based on gene analysis. CAH should be considered in AI management in selected cases and confirmed by genetic analysis.
