Published: April 2022

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the differences in patellar height and tibial tubercle- trochlear groove distance (TT-TGd) between patients with an intact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and ruptured ACL.MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 2019 patients (1015 with ruptured ACL and 1004 with an intact ACL) aged between 18-40 years were included. The Insall Salvati index (ISI) was used to determine the patellar height measurement. The TT-TGd was measured based on axial magnetic resonance images. Two orthopedic surgeons independently studied 50 patients’ images for two weeks to assess intra-observer and inter-observer reliability. The mean patellar height and TT-TGd measurements were compared between patients with ruptured ACL and those with an intact ACL.RESULTS: Interobserver and intraobserver agreement were excellent for both measurements (p = 0.001 and k> 0.850 for all measurements). Patellar height and TT-TGd were significantly higher in ACL ruptured patients than in the control group (1.09± 0.37 vs. 1.06± 0.56, p<0.001, 10.0± 3.3 vs. 8.5± 3.0, p<0.001, respectively). The ISI was significantly higher in women than in men (1.13 vs. 1.07, p<0.001). There was no significant difference between the sexes regarding the TT-TGd (9.5 vs. 9.3, p=0.792).CONCLUSIONS: Although significantly increased in patellar height and TT–TGd was detected in patients with ruptured ACL, these differences are not clinically important because they are in the normal range.

OBJECTIVE: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is one of the most common reasons for women to present to the gynecology outpatient clinic. In this study, we compared abnormal uterine bleeding self-assessments and endometrial biopsy results in women with AUB according to the menopausal status.MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was designed as a descriptive, cross-sectional one and was conducted on 650 women with AUB. Data were obtained by descriptive information form and endometrial biopsy results.RESULTS: It was determined that 29.6% of the study participants were in the postmenopausal period, while 70.4% were in the non-menopausal period. The endometrial biopsy results demonstrated that 3.4% were endometrial cancers, 7.4% were inadequate material, while 11.2% were atypical hyperplasia. Atypical hyperplasia was found to be higher in women who were in the postmenopausal period (p <0.05).CONCLUSIONS: It was determined that the rate of atypical hyperplasia in women increased with age and AUB characteristics. Atypical hyperplasia was found to affect a greater number of women in the postmenopausal period. Regular and periodic follow-up of women with atypical hyperplasia is important in determining the risk of malignancy. The high rate of inadequate material is also of significant concern. The healthcare professionals who perform these procedures must be careful in making the correct diagnosis. It has been determined that women who have experienced AUB over the past year, have delayed their admission to the hospital.Therefore, it is crucial to inform women about AUB.

Published: April 2022

En América Latina y el Caribe hay millones de personas migrantes en situación irregular que no cuentan con acceso a mercados laborales formales ni a ciertos servicios del Estado. En este documento presentamos los resultados de un estudio que analiza los efectos que tuvo en Colombia un programa de regularización que abarcó a cientos de miles de venezolanos a través del otorgamiento del Permiso Especial de Permanencia (PEP) en 2018. Para los migrantes que lo obtuvieron, el PEP redundó en un aumento de su bienestar, en mejores condiciones laborales y profundizó su acceso a servicios del Estado. Además de examinar los beneficios de regularizar a la población migrante, este documento también expone los retos de llevar a cabo estos procesos de manera exitosa y concluye con enseñanzas de política que pueden servir de guía a los gobiernos de la región.

Published: April 2022

Introduction: Stigma is associated with poor prognosis of illness and reduced help-seeking behavior, self-esteem and treatment compliance. The aims of this study were to study the reliability and construct validity of the King’s et al Stigma Scale, and its association with Illness and Help-Seeking Behaviors scale (IHSBS) scores.Material and Methods: One hundred and forty mental health patients filled out the Stigma scale and the Illness and Help-Seeking Behaviors scale. The exploratory factor analysis of the stigma scale was performed, and its reliability studied. The correlation analysis was used and mean differences in Stigma Scale scores among IHSBS groups were explored.Results: The exploratory factor analysis indicated four factors (F): F1-Disclosure, F2-Discrimination, F3-Acceptance and F4-Personal Growth, which showed acceptable/good internal consistency (α from 0.70 to 0.91). Help-seeking behaviors were not associated with stigma. The levels of Discrimination were high in the group with global high-IHSB and in patients with medium/high illness behavior (IB) and health-related worries (HW). Additionally, Disclosure and overall stigma levels were higher in groups with high-HW and with medium-IB scores (when compared with the group with low-IB). The group with low-IB also had lower levels of Acceptance and Personal Growth when compared with the groups with medium-IB and high-IB, respectively.Conclusion: The Stigma Scale (27 items) is a valid, reliable instrument and useful tool to assess stigma in mental health patients.

Authors: Gegelashvili N.
Published: April 2022

The article reveals Turkey’s new priorities after the events happened in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone in October 2020. For the first time in the history dealing with the settlement of ethno-political conflicts in the post-Soviet space, a precedent was created when Ankara, being not a post-Soviet country, but a regional power, got involved in the conflict and won. This dramatically changed the configuration of the entire Transcaucasus in the field of security, where, on the one hand, Armenia was involved in rivalry between Russia, Turkey and Iran, while on the other - Russia and Turkey launched competitive cooperation in the region.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in anterior knee laxity (AKL), stiffness, general joint laxity (GJL), and genu recurvatum (GR) during the menstrual cycle in female non-athletes and female athletes with normal and irregular menstrual cycles. Participants were 19 female non-athletes (eumenorrhea, n=11; oligomenorrhea, n=8) and 15 female athletes (eumenorrhea, n=8; oligomenorrhea, n=7). AKL was measured as the amount of anterior tibial displacement at 67 N - 133 N. Stiffness was calculated as change in (Δ)force/Δ anterior displacement. The Beighton method was used to evaluate the GJL. The GR was measured as the maximum angle of passive knee joint extension. AKL, stiffness, GJL, and GR were measured twice in four phases during the menstrual cycle. Stiffness was significantly higher in oligomenorrhea groups than in eumenorrhea groups, although no significant differences between menstrual cycle phases were evident in female non-athletes. GR was significantly higher in the late follicular, ovulation, and luteal phases than in the early follicular phase, although no significant differences between groups were seen in female athletes. Estradiol may affect the stiffness of the periarticular muscles in the knee, suggesting that GR in female athletes may change during the menstrual cycle.

The on-site wastewater treatment system (OWTS) with a sand trench is an economical option for residents in rural areas or the countryside where a centralised sewer system is inaccessible. 2A sand achieves improved filtration, microbial activity and consistent long term performance when compared to gravel or scoria based trench systems. However, it is expensive and only readily available in a few areas across New Zealand. Additionally, it has a reputation for premature blockage when overloaded or compacted. The aim of this study is not only to critically evaluate the performance of Crushed Glass (CG) with respect to 2A sand, but also to investigate different loading rates for CG when treating primary treated effluent from a septic tank. A test rig was designed and constructed to simulate the real environment of the sand column in a discharge control trench. The treatment efficiency of three filters was recorded and compared in this study. Overall, the CG loaded at 25mm/day (CG25) and 50mm/day (CG50) provided an average of 13% and 6% more Total Nitrogen (TN) reduction than the sand filter, respectively. The removal rates for the TN were up to 69.5%. The CG50 filter performed similarly at 50mm/day as the 2A sand filter in terms of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)5 removal of more than 94%. The CG25 removal rates for TSS and BOD5 at the start of the trial (likely due to residual liquid contamination from the bottles when crushed) improved over the sampling period and ultimately achieved similar results of 92% and 91.3% to the filters loaded at 50mm/day. Lifecycle cost analyses and carbon balances were completed for the two media. It highlighted that the current price of CG is only half of 2A sand, yet it produces significantly less CO2 emissions than 2A sand. A 3-bedroom dwelling could save up to $500 and reduce 200kg of CO2 released to the environment annually when 2A sand is substituted for CG. Based on the findings of this paper, it is likely that the reduced installation cost, lessened environmental impact and theoretical availability will lead to CG systems becoming more common in New Zealand and abroad.

Purpose Degenerative Lumbar Spondylolisthesis (DSL) is a common spinal pathology characterized by the anterior slippage of one vertebral body on another. DSL is caused mainly by degeneration of the intervertebral disc in the first place, with subsequent degeneration of the facet joints that end causing the slippage. As the disease evolves, stability is restored as a result of advanced degeneration and disc collapse. But while this natural evolution takes place, DSL may produce radicular symptoms by different mechanisms. To present a “module-based” approach for the surgical planning and execution of full-endoscopic foraminotomy in DSL, combined with case examples of the most common surgical scenarios. Methods We propose a “module-based surgery” using the standard endoscopic foraminotomy technique as a baseline. According to the patient’s clinical and imaging characteristics, several “modules” can be added. The resulting endoscopic surgery is a summation of the basic endoscopic foraminotomy plus all the additional required modules. ResultsSurgical modules description and case examples are provided. ConclusionTransforaminal lumbar endoscopic foraminotomy represents a minimally invasive technique to treat foraminal and combined foraminal-lateral recess stenosis. DSL and its multiple scenarios represent a challenge to the endoscopic surgeon. Module-based approach can help systematize and execute these demanding endoscopic procedures.

Background
Toona ciliata is a traditional woody plant that can be used as a medicinal material in China. The extracts of roots, stems, leaves, and flowers all have a wide range of bioactivities. However, T. ciliata has been facing an unresolved pest problem caused by Hypsipyla robusta Moore (HRM), which seriously affects its growth and development.
Results
In this study, transcriptome sequencing of young stems was eaten by HRM for 0, 3, 12, and 21h were performed. A large number of differentially expressed genes (DGEs) were identified including jointly up-regulated genes (263) and down-regulated genes (378). JA synthesis and signaling transduction, terpene biosynthesis, and MAPKs signaling pathway were analyzed in depth and found that some key genes TcOPR3, TcJAR1, TcJAZs, and TcTPS9 possessed anti-insect potential. Moreover, MYBs and ERFs transcription factor family were significantly strengthened that may participate in induced defense mechanism in T. ciliata.
Conclusions
The novel transcriptome and DGE profiling provide an important resource for functional genomics during HRM stress in T. ciliata. These data not only provide insights into the molecular mechanisms in resistance of T. ciliata to HRM but also helps to explore the new biocontrol strategies against insects in eco-friendly woody plant.

Published: April 2022

Recently, deep convolutional neural networks show good effect for single image deraining. These networks always adopt the conventional convolution method to extract features, which may neglect the characteristic of rain streak. A novelty vertical module is proposed to focus on the vertical characteristic of rain streak. Such module uses 1 x X convolution kernel to extract the vertical information of rainstreaks and a X x X convolution kernel to keep relative location information. Use this module in the front of deraining network can better detach rain streaks from background. In addition, the contrastive learning is employed to improve the performance of the model. Extensive experimental results demonstrated the superiority of the deraining methods with the proposed methods in comparison with the base ones.

Published: April 2022

Background: Skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) is one of the most common malignancies and is one of the most aggressive and dangerous types of skin cancer. CC chemokines in the tumor microenvironment can promote intercellular communication and modulate the transport of immune cells, thus exerting anti-tumor immune effects. The expression of CC chemokines in SKCM, their prognostic value and their relationship with immune cell infiltration are unclear.Methods: Studies were performed using GEPIA, UALCAN, cBioPortal, STRING, GeneMANIA, Omicshare, David 6.8, Metascape, TRRUST, LinkedOmics and Timer.Results: In SKCM we found that CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CCL8, CCL18 were highly expressed in tumor tissue, while a proportion of CC chemokines CCL14, CCL21, CCL22, CCL23, CCL27 were found to be expressed at low levels. The expression of CCL4, CCL5, CCL8, CCL23, CCL27 was closely related to the pathological stage of SKCM. High expression of CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CCL8, CCL15, CCL21, CCL22, CCL23 tended to correlate with a good prognosis for patients with SKCM. The functions of the differentially expressed CC chemokines are mainly Chemokine signaling pathway, Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, Cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway. RELA and NFKB1 are key transcription factors for CC chemokines. We identified a number of kinases associated with differentially expressed CCL. Among them CASP7, SERPINE1, LCK and PRKAA1 are strongly correlated. We also found that expression of CC chemokines was significantly associated with infiltration of multiple immune cells.Conclusion: Our findings may provide new insights into the selection of therapeutic targets and prognostic biomarkers for patients with SKCM.

Evaluation of the upper airway growth patterns based on cervical vertebral maturation in Japanese: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Ishida Takayoshi , Manabe Asuka , Ono Takashi
Published: April 2022

This study aimed to calculate standard values of the cross-sectional area of the upper airway, evaluate the upper airway growth patterns, and assess the usefulness of the cervical vertebral maturation stage (CVMS) for growth assessment. Patients (n = 400) who visited the orthodontic clinic of Tokyo Medical and Dental University Dental Hospital were randomly selected. They were classified into five groups according to the CVMS. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were obtained before treatment to measure the upper airway. Changes in the cross-sectional area of the airway during growth were analyzed by calculating the standard values for each cervical age group to further elucidate the growth pattern using the CVMS. Differences between males and females were also compared, and patients (40 each) were randomly selected from each group. The reliability of CVMS was confirmed by the weighted kappa coefficient (κ). The intra- and inter-evaluator agreement—κ—both showed almost perfect agreement. We found that the upper airway growth spurt occurs between CVMS II-III and CVMS III-IV in males at CVMS II-III in females. This study elucidated the gender-related growth patterns of the upper airway using cervical spine age. CVMS classification was a reliable indicator in assessing the naso- and oropharynx growth and development.
Signatures of Midsummer Droughts Over Central America and Mexico
Authors: Zhao Zijie , Han Meng , Yang Kai , Holbrook Neil J
Published: April 2022

The annual cycle of precipitation over Central America and Mexico is climatologically characterized by a robust bimodal distribution, normally termed as the midsummer drought (MSD), influencing a large range of agricultural economic and public insurances. Compared to the studies focusing on the mechanisms underpinning the MSD, less research has been undertaken related to its climatological signatures. This is due to a lack of generally accepted methods through which to detect and quantify bimodal precipitation accurately. The present study focuses on characterizing the MSD climatological signatures over Mexico and Central Mexico between 1979 and 2017. This was completed using a new method of detection. The signatures were analyzed from three aspects, namely 1) climatological mean states and variability; 2) connections with large scale modes of climate variability (El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the North Atlantic Subtropical High (NASH)); and 3) the potential afforded by statistical modelling. The development of MSDs across the region is attributed to changes of surface wind – pressure composites, characterized by anomalously negative (positive) surface pressure and onshore (offshore) winds during the peak (trough) of precipitation. ENSO’s modulation of MSDs is also shown by modifying the surface wind – pressure patterns through MSD periods, inducing the intensified NASH and associated easterlies from the Caribbean region, which induce relatively weak precipitation at corresponding time points and subsequently intensify the MSD magnitude and extend the MSD period. Building on previous research which showed MSDs tend to start/end in Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) phases 1 and 8, a fourth–order polynomial was used here to statistically model the precipitation time series during the rainy season. We show that the strength of the bimodal precipitation can be well modelled by the coefficient of the polynomial terms, and the intra-seasonal variability is largely covered by the MJO indices. Using two complete MJO cycles and the polynomial, the bimodal precipitation during the rainy season over Central America and Mexico is synoptically explained, largely contributing to our understanding of the MJO’s modulation on the MSD.
