Authors: Huseen Shaheed N.
Published: June 2020

In this paper, the time-fractional Fisherâ€™s equation (TFFE) is considered to exam the analytical solution using the Laplace q-Homotopy analysis method (Lq-HAM)â€. The Lq-HAM is a combined form of q-homotopy analysis method (q-HAM) and Laplace transform. The aim of utilizing the Laplace transform is to outdo the shortage that is mainly caused by unfulfilled conditions in the other analytical methods. The results show that the analytical solution converges very rapidly to the exact solution.

Authors: Mohammed Dheyaa Abdulameer , Kadhim Nasreen J.
Published: June 2020

Currently, the prominence of automatic multi document summarization task belongs to the information rapid increasing on the Internet. Automatic document summarization technology is progressing and may offer a solution to the problem of information overload. 

Automatic text summarization system has the challenge of producing a high quality summary. In this study, the design of generic text summarization model based on sentence extraction has been redirected into a more semantic measure reflecting individually the two significant objectives: content coverage and diversity when generating summaries from multiple documents as an explicit optimization model. The proposed two models have been then coupled and defined as a single-objective optimization problem. Also, for improving the performance of the proposed model, different integrations concerning two similarity measures have been introduced and applied to the proposed model along with the single similarity measures that are based on using Cosine, Dice and  similarity measures for measuring text similarity. For solving the proposed model, Genetic Algorithm (GA) has been used. Document sets supplied by Document Understanding Conference 2002 ( ) have been used for the proposed system as an evaluation dataset. Also, as an evaluation metric, Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation ( ) toolkit has been used for performance evaluation of the proposed method. Experimental results have illustrated the positive impact of measuring text similarity using double integration of similarity measures against single similarity measure when applied to the proposed model wherein the best performance in terms of  and  has been recorded for the integration of Cosine similarity and  similarity.

Optimizing childhood oncology care transition from pediatric to adult settings: A survey of primary care physicians’ and residents’ perspectives
Authors: Marcoux Sophie Marcoux, MD, PhD , Laverdière Caroline
Published: June 2020

Purpose: The majority of childhood cancer survivors suffer from late adverse

effects after the completion of treatment. The prospect of most survivors

reaching middle-age is a relatively new phenomenon, and the ways by which

current and future primary care physicians (PCPs) will address this novel public

health challenge are uncertain.

Methods: A survey assessing knowledge level and information delivery

preferences regarding long-term follow-up guidelines for adult patients having

survived a childhood cancer was distributed by e-mail through the Quebec

(Canada) national associations of PCPs and residents (n=238).

Results: Participants reported an estimated average of 2.9 ± 1.9 cancer

survivors in their yearly caseload, and only 35.3% recalled having provided

services to at least one survivor in the last year. Most participants indicated

ignoring validated follow-up guidelines for these patients (average score 1.66 on

a Likert scale from “1—totally disagreeing” to “5—totally agreeing”). Scarce

access to personalized follow-up guidelines and lack of clinical exposure to

cancer survivors were identified as main obstacles in providing optimal care to

these patients (respective averages of 1.66 and 1.84 on a Likert scale from “1—

is a major obstacle” to “5—is not an obstacle at all”).

Conclusion: The PCPs and residents rarely provide care for childhood cancer

adult survivors. On an individual basis, there is a clear need for increased

awareness, education and collaboration regarding long-term care of childhood

cancer adult survivors during medical training. On a more global basis,

structural, organizational and cultural changes are also needed to ensure

adequate care transition.

The Validity of Rector�s Circular Letter on the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Disantara Fradhana Putra
Published: June 2020

This study aims to analyze the relevance of the �health emergency� status to the existing legal theory and condition as well as to identify the validity of the Circular Letter of the Rector of State Universities. To this end, this study applied the statute and conceptual approach. The study was conducted by inventorying primary and secondary legal materials to obtain a proper and critical review of the legal issues under study. The results showed that the determination of the �health emergency� status by the government was inappropriate due to the uncertainty of the regulations issued by the government to determine the current condition. Thus, the status of the COVID-19 pandemic is a �legal emergency� status. Further, the Rector�s policy through the Circular Letter is valid judicially, sociologically, and philosophically. The determination of the �legal emergency� status can be done by issuing a Perppu without a �state of emergency� from the President. Finally, it is suggested to firstly get an approval from the Ministry of Education and Culture regarding the issuance of the Rector�s Circular Letter. Besides, further study is needed as this study was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic.�Keabsahan Surat Edaran Rektor Perguruan Tinggi dalam Pandemi Covid-19Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisa relevansi status �darurat kesehatan� dengan teori hukum dan kondisi yang ada dan keabsahan atas Surat Edaran Rektor Perguruan Tinggi Negeri. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah statute approach dan conseptual approach. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menginventarisasi bahan hukum primer dan sekunder, guna mendapatkan kajian yang seyogianya dan telaah kritis terkait isu hukum. Hasil penelitian menyatakan penetapan status darurat kesehatan oleh pemerintah kurang tepat, dikarenakan tidak menentu-nya peraturan yang dikeluarkan oleh pemerintah untuk menetapkan kondisi saat ini. Sehingga, status pandemi COVID-19 merupakan status darurat hukum. Kebijakan rektor melalui Surat Edaran adalah absah secara aspek yuridis, sosiologis, dan filosofis. Penetapan darurat hukum cukup dilakukan dengan menerbitkan Perppu tanpa pernyataan darurat dari Presiden. Saran peneliti adalah di perlukan persetujuan pada Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan terkait terbitnya Surat Edaran Rektor, dan dibutuhkan penelitian lebih lanjut dikarenakan penelitian ini dilakukan pada masa COVID-19 yang bersifat temporal.�

The Underlying Pathology of Autoimmune Thyroid Disease is Il-22 Independent
Authors: Hamad Hadi H. , Raziq Amir H.
Published: June 2020

The thyroid gland is frequently associated with autoimmune disease. It produces thyroid hormones responsible for controlling cellular metabolism. The current case control study  involved ninety subjects which were assigned into two equal-numbered groups of patients and apparently healthy controls. For laboratory evaluation, five millilitres of venous blood were withdrawn from individual participants, serum were collected and  stored at –20 oC to be analysed.  Immunoassay technique was used to measure the serum level of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroxine (T4), and triiodothyronine (T3). While ELISA technique was used for measuring the serum levels of anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies and IL-22. The results of the current study showed that, in  the patient group, thirty eight (84.44 %) subjects were diagnosed with hypothyroidism, represented by thirty five female (77.77 %) and three male (6.67 %); furthermore, seven individuals (15.56 %) were grouped as hyperthyroid patients and represented by five females  (11.11 %) and two males (4.45 %). The results also demonstrated that the serum  TSH levels  (12.04  ± 2.76) for the patients were significantly (p< 0.05) higher than that of the control group  (1.87 ± 0.15). Whereas, T3 and T4 mean serum levels ± SE were 2.05 nmol/l ±0.14; 100.66 nmol/l ± 4.76 and 2.14 nmol/l ± 0.07; 105.37 nmol/l ± 2.92 for patient and control categories, respectively. The findings of this work showed that mean serum level (IU/ml) of anti-thyroidperoxidase antibody in patient group differed significantly (P <0.05) in comparison to control group  (represented by 259.08±59.99 and 8.71 ±1.23, respectively). No statistical difference was non-significant when comparison involved mean serum concentration levels of IL-22 for patients (157.22 ng/ml ± 24.81) and controls (157.08 ng/ml ± 24.80). In conclusion: IL-22 cannot be proposed as an essential factor participating the development and/or the progression of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD).

Endotoxin and asthma: friends or foes?
Authors: Белоглазов В.А. , Попенко Ю.О. , Гордиенко А.И. , Туманова Е.Л.
Published: June 2020

Эндотоксин (ЭТ), или липополисахарид (ЛПС) грамнегативной микрофлоры, в зависимости от условий воздействия на организм способен либо снижать риск развития аллергических заболеваний и бронхиальной астмы (БА), либо быть фактором патогенеза, утяжеляющего течение БА. ЭТ окружающей среды может препятствовать формированию БА, снижать гиперреактивность бронхов, воспаление дыхательных путей и уровень IgEl-антител путем стимуляции Т1- и торможения Т2-иммунного ответа. Протективный эффект ЭТ по отношению к развитию БА может отменятся антропогенным загрязнением окружающей среды промышленными и бытовыми отходами, качественным и количественным нарушением микробиоценозов, ассоциированных со слизистыми оболочками, а также генетическими, эпигенетическими и метаболомными особенностями, определяющими интегральный ответ организма на ЭТ. Патогенетический эффект ЭТ при БА связан с участием ЭТ в формировании хронического воспаления. Потенциально ЭТ может быть фактором патогенеза всех известных эндотипов и фенотипов БА. Известные на сегодняшний день способы снижения негативного воздействия ЭТ на организм больного БА с позиций доказательной медицины имеют ограниченную эффективность и требуют дальнейшего изучения.

The role of endotoxin (ET) depends on the conditions of the body exposure. ET or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of gram-negative flora is able either to be protective from the risk of allergic diseases and asthma, or to perform as a pathogenetic factor to aggravate the course of asthma. Environmental ET can inhibit development of asthma, reduce bronchial hyperactivity and airway inflammation, decrease IgE by stimulating the Т1 immune response and inhibiting Т2. The ET protection from the development of asthma may be abolished by anthropogenic pollution of the environment with industrial and household wastes; qualitative and quantitative disruption of macro- and microbiocenoses, immune systems associated with mucous membranes; and various genetic, epigenetic, and metabolic determinants of the body response to ET. The pathogenic effect of ET in asthma is related with the pro-inflammatory effect of ET on the development of chronic inflammation. ET may contribute to the pathogenesis of all known asthma endotypes and phenotypes. The efficacy of methods for reducing the effect of ET on asthma is limited, and these methods require further research.

Целью настоящей работы стало исследование эффектов лактоферрина (Лф) человека у мышей после острого гамма-облучения в сублетальной дозе. Методы. Исследование было проведено на 2-2,5-месячных самцах мышей линии C57Bl/6. Животные из экспериментальных групп были подвергнуты общему воздействию гамма-излучения в дозе 7,5 Гр. Сразу после облучения и повторно через 24 часа после него часть животных получила инъекцию Лф (внутрибрюшинно, 4 мг на животное). Было изучено влияние Лф на выживаемость и среднюю продолжительность жизни мышей. Для оценки общей двигательной и исследовательской активности использовали тест «Открытое поле». Результаты. Введение Лф позволило увеличить выживаемость и среднюю продолжительность жизни облученных мышей в течение эксперимента. Происходила более быстрая нормализация динамики изменения массы тела. Кроме того, Лф оказал компенсаторное действие на исследовательскую активность облученных животных.

The aim of this study was to investigate effects of human lactoferrin (Lf) in mice exposed to acute gamma-irradiation at a sublethal dose. Methods. C57Вl/6 2-2.5-month-old male mice were used for the experiments. Animals from experimental groups were exposed to whole-body gamma-radiation at a dose of 7.5 Gy. Some animals received an intraperitoneal injection of Lf (4 mg per animal) immediately and then at 24 hours after the irradiation. The effect of Lf on survival rate and life span was studied. The open field test was used to assess locomotor and research activity. Results. The Lf administration increased the survival rate and life span of irradiated mice during the experiment. The dynamics of body weight normalized faster. In addition, Lf exerted a compensatory effect on the research activity of irradiated animals.

Immunological aspects of tuberculosis pathogenesis

Published: June 2020

The morphological aspects of TB pathogenesis are well described in the publications. Much is also known about the main stages of development and formation of specific adaptive immunity. However, from our point of view, not enough attention is being paid to the involvement of the immune system in the pathogenesis of clinically relevant TB abnormalities, as well as various forms of the disease. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that the variety of clinical manifestations of any disease associated with the penetration of a foreign agent into the body, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in particular, is due to the collective interaction of the infectious agent and the individual response of the macroorganism to this infectious agent. The mosaic of such interactions usually imposes its own adjustments on the development of different forms of the process, its speed and direction, as well as the outcomes. Certainly, the response of a macroorganism to MTB is an integral part of pathogenesis and consists of many general components including the responses associated with the mechanisms of natural and acquired immunity. Intensity of these reactions depends on the characteristics of an agent (MTB) and a macroorganism. For the development of TB disease, massiveness of TB infection, dose and duration of MTB exposure to the human body, as well as virulence of MTB and the level of body's protection during the exposure play a very important role. TB pathogenesis is somewhat different in primary MTB infection and re - infection. With primary infection, 88-90% of individuals do not have clinical manifestations, and only the tuberculin skin test conversion signals the onset of infection. In some cases, without any use of anti-TB drugs limited abnormalities may result in spontaneous cure with the minimal residual changes in the lungs, intrathoracic lymph nodes and tissues of other organs, often in the form of calcifications and limited areas of fibrosis in more advanced cases. Only 10-12% of newly infected individuals develop TB with severe clinical manifestations requiring TB therapy. The absence of clinical manifestations of primary TB infection can be explained by a high level of natural resistance of the human body to tuberculosis, and sometimes can be an effect of acquired protection due to BCG vaccination. This review attempts to discuss the role of immune mechanisms in the pathogenesis both at the beginning of disease development, and in the process of its various manifestations. Issues of genetically determined resistance or susceptibility to TB are not being covered in detail in this manuscript.

Authors: Lyapina M V , Vakhrushev Ya M
Published: June 2020

Aim. To evaluate the qualitative and quantitative composition of the parietal microbiota of the small intestine (SI) and its significance in the disturbance of the digestive and absorption functions of the small intestine in metabolic syndrome (MS). Materials and methods. 67 patients with metabolic syndrome were examined. In addition to clinical data, a comprehensive study of the digestive and absorption function of SI was carried out using exercise tests with carbohydrates. The compositional characteristics of mucosal SI microbiota in MS patients were determined by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The relationship of enteric disorders with changes in small intestinal microbiocenosis was assessed by correlation analysis. Results. The majority (82.9%) of patients with metabolic syndrome showed clinical local and general signs of small intestinal lesions. Violations of all stages of the hydrolysis - resorption process were revealed against the background of changes in the quantitative and qualitative composition of the parietal microbiota of the small intestine. In patients with MS, excessive bacterial growth is observed in the small intestine mainly due to conditionally pathogenic microbiota strains, and, in comparison with the control group, there is a significant increase in the growth of aerobes, microscopic fungi and viruses. The relationship between the severity of excess bacterial growth and impaired digestion and absorption in the small intestine in MS. Conclusion. The results of our research suggest that the identified changes in the functional state of SI in combination with a violation of mucosal enteral microbiocenosis are an important link in the complex pathogenesis of the MS.

Aim: to identify risk factors for Clostridium difficile infection in patients of a therapeutic clinic in a multidisciplinary hospital. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of 110 case histories of patients who were hospitalized in therapeutic departments in the Municipal Autonomous Institution “City Clinical Hospital No. 40” in Yekaterinburg (MAU City Clinical Hospital No. 40) in 2014-2015 was conducted, in which antibiotic therapy has developed diarrhea. According to the results of the study of coprofiltrate on Clostridium difficile (CD), patients were divided into 2 groups: 60 patients with a positive result and 50 patients with a negative result. Results. The proportion of patients with CD infection in the structure of patients of the therapeutic profile of the MAU GKB No.40 for 2014-2015 amounted to 0.42%.
