Les relations entre Israël et l’Iran : un partenariat officieux dans un contexte d’hostilité affichée
Authors: Lenormand Quentin
Published: July 2022

L’Iran et Israël n’ont jamais entretenu de relations officielles, mais ont développé de nombreux partenariats officieux dans des domaines aussi variés que ceux du renseignement, de l’énergie et de la recherche civile et militaire, et ce malgré des discours officiels hostiles, voire ouvertement belliqueux. Ces relations illustrent la place primordiale qu’occupent les intérêts objectifs des États dans la formation de partenariats internationaux, bien devant les considérations morales ou les déclarations publiques.
Se confronter aux limites : les batailles de la longue urgence
Authors: Canabate Alice
Published: July 2022

L’écologisation de la société est aujourd’hui manifeste, tout comme semble l’être la nécessité d’agir sans attendre face à une aggravation permanente de la situation de notre planète. Pourtant, nul consensus ne se dégage sur les chemins à emprunter pour parvenir à infléchir la trajectoire sur laquelle nous sommes. Entre les récits continuistes, qui proposent des solutions technologiques, et les récits qui suggèrent la nécessité d’une rupture et dont l’ambition est de promouvoir la sobriété, les écarts en matière de transformations socio-culturelles sont élevés. Face à cette confrontation aux limites, c’est le projet de la modernité qui est, in fine , interrogé. Derrière ces récits sourdent ainsi surtout des batailles d’orientations politiques et des visions du futur divergentes. Nous nous emploierons ici à en esquisser la ligne de fracture au travers de l’exemple de la décroissance, qui loin de contourner les limites, les accepte et se réorganise en conséquence, et celui de la géo-ingénierie, qui incarne, à l’inverse, un techno-enthousiasme réformateur et conçu comme fonction du niveau de progrès attendu par une croissance verte aux ambitions ordonnatrices.
« Ce ne sera pas un bang, mais un long gémissement ». Brèves réflexions sur une catastrophe au ralenti
Authors: Dupuy Jean-Pierre
Published: July 2022

Ce que nous devons peut-être craindre le plus, ce n’est pas une grande catastrophe qui mettrait par là même fin aux maux de notre époque par notre disparition, c’est, au contraire, une longue prolongation et une accentuation de ceux-ci selon une spirale descendante. L’adaptation au changement climatique reposera sur l’incroyable capacité des êtres humains à s’ajuster aux pires conditions de misère et d’oppression. Est-ce ce que nous voulons ? Ce type de « catastrophe au ralenti » peut très bien se terminer par un effondrement brusque. On étudie ici le cas où plus l’on se rapproche de ce moment, plus on a des raisons objectives de croire que l’on en est éloigné. On en déduit que les optimistes se doivent d’être catastrophistes, précisément parce qu’ils sont optimistes. Inversement, on a des raisons de penser que l’optimisme « exubérant » manifesté de façon récurrente par les agents de la crise, gouvernants compris, se nourrit d’un catastrophisme qui ne dit pas son nom.
Une « police officieuse » ? Le rôle des mouchards dans le contrôle du Paris napoléonien
Authors: Le Quang Jeanne-Laure
Published: July 2022

Entre 1799 et 1814, la police napoléonienne, qui entend exercer sur la société consulaire et impériale une surveillance politique renforcée, s’appuie sur l’emploi d’une force auxiliaire de citoyens apportant ponctuellement ou régulièrement leur aide à la police, une force qualifiée de « police officieuse ». Alors que ces indicateurs ont longtemps fait l’objet de fantasmes liés à la focalisation de l’historiographie sur de grandes figures de mouchards, ainsi que d’une surévaluation numérique, cette étude s’attache à saisir « par en bas » la réalité du recours policier à des mouchards à Paris, sous le Consulat et le Premier Empire, afin de reconsidérer la nature même d’un régime souvent qualifié de « policier ». L’analyse du profil de ces acteurs policiers anonymes comme de leurs différents usages par la police, tout en interrogeant l’instrumentalisation possible des pratiques et attentes policières par les mouchards eux-mêmes, permet de remettre en perspective l’efficacité du système policier napoléonien, qui repose bien moins sur une police professionnelle toute-puissante que sur la participation volontaire d’une frange de la société.
La coordination d’acteurs multiples en situation extrême. Le cas des transferts extrarégionaux de patients Covid-19
Authors: Cucharero Atienza Paula , Laude Laëtitia , Grimaud Olivier , Girault Anne
Published: July 2022

Sur quelles dimensions s’appuie la coordination d’une situation extrême telle que les opérations de transferts de patients Covid-19 ? Pour répondre à cette question, nous nous appuyons sur les travaux analysant les situations extrêmes, et plus spécifiquement sur la littérature étudiant les dimensions à l’origine de la coordination de ces situations. Nous nous basons sur une étude qualitative combinant la réalisation d’entretiens auprès de cliniciens et de représentants des autorités sanitaires impliquées avec une analyse documentaire. Au total, nous avons réalisé quarante entretiens semi-directifs, pour la plupart par visioconférence compte tenu du contexte sanitaire. L’analyse des résultats montre que l’organisation des transferts extrarégionaux, qui implique une pluralité d’organisations, s’appuie sur l’imbrication de sept dimensions inscrites dans des temporalités diverses : 1) le dispositif standardisé de transfert inter-hospitalier ; 2) l’expérience des professionnels de la gestion de crise ; 3) la construction collective de sens ; 4) de nouvelles coopérations intra et inter-organisationnelles ; 5) les relations de confiance entre professionnels ; 6) le rôle de leadership de l’administration centrale qui entraîne une reconfiguration de rôles ; 7) la primauté de la logistique et de l’opérationnel. Ces éléments réunis ont permis d’assurer l’efficacité de ces transferts.
Le doute, méthode scientifique ou vertu citoyenne ?

Published: July 2022

En analysant les mécanismes de production de la preuve scientifique et de l’expertise dans les contextes d’incertitude qui irriguent les crises contemporaines, cet article invite à détendre l’opposition fréquente entre experts et citoyens, entre rationnel et irrationnel, entre vérité et fake news . Il propose à l’inverse une mise en culture exigeante et courageuse de l’incertitude, et une distribution de l’exercice du doute légitime entre sciences et citoyens.
Physique : l’exactitude au bénéfice de l’incertitude
Authors: Lévy-Leblond Jean-Marc
Published: July 2022

En sciences, aucune mesure expérimentale ni d’ailleurs aucun résultat théorique ne peut se réclamer d’une exactitude absolue : les instruments sont forcément imparfaits et les calculs nécessairement approchés. Prenant conscience des bornes de son savoir, la physique a mis au point des méthodes d’évaluation de ses limitations. Les physiciens disposent ainsi de processus leur permettant d’estimer la fiabilité de leurs conclusions. C’est donc en admettant ses incertitudes puis en les domestiquant que la physique peut quand même prétendre être considérée comme une science « exacte ».
Le principe d’incertitude de Heisenberg
Authors: Le Bellac Michel
Published: July 2022

Nous utilisons en premier lieu un exemple simple de physique classique pour définir la déviation standard (ou écart type). Nous énonçons ensuite de façon précise le principe d’incertitude de Heisenberg sous forme d’une relation entre les déviations standard des mesures respectives de position et d’impulsion et la constante de Planck. Nous critiquons l’expression usuelle « principe d’incertitude de Heisenberg » qui a été la source de nombreuses confusions et proposons d’utiliser de préférence « inégalités de Heisenberg ». Enfin nous soulignons l’utilisation heuristique de ces inégalités dans des raisonnements semi-classiques.
Vers un urbanisme de l’incertitude
Authors: Amphoux Pascal
Published: July 2022

L’histoire récente de l’urbanisme peut être décrite comme une séquence de trois périodes, dont la superposition est peut-être génératrice du climat d’incertitude dans lequel se déploient les modes de production de la ville contemporaine. La première est celle de « l’urbanisme programmatique », la seconde est celle d’un « urbanisme de projet », la troisième, naissante, pourrait mériter le nom d’« urbanisme de l’incertitude ». Cette troisième période, encore balbutiante, cherche ses marques et ses concepts pour relever les défis de l’anthropocène. Nous en proposerons et discuterons trois : les confins du territoire, le récit du lieu et l’utopie opératoire.
Transports publics : entre la Covid et l’Europe
Authors: Quidort Michel
Published: July 2022

Et si la pandémie s’avérait en définitive être une chance à saisir pour le transport public et l’occasion de reconsidérer certains de ses modèles économiques ? Si, à l’origine, la crise correspond à la nécessité de faire un choix, alors le long épisode sanitaire pourrait permettre aux transports publics et aux mobilités douces de rebondir et de repartir vers un rôle difficile à leur disputer. Ainsi certains concepts français mériteraient-ils que l’on réfléchisse à leur évolution ou à leur questionnement, d’autant que l’Union européenne, avec son programme du Pacte Vert, invite à s’atteler à l’indispensable relance des services de transport et des mobilités alternatives à moyen et long terme.

La première ligne de tramway de Tours, inaugurée le 31 août 2013, a profondément modifié les pratiques de mobilité des habitants : sur 100 déplacements réalisés par les habitants de la métropole, près de 8 étaient effectués en transports en commun urbains en 2008 tandis qu’aujourd’hui, c’est près de 11 qui sont réalisés sur le réseau Fil Bleu. Après avoir été analysés globalement dans le cadre du bilan ex post, dit bilan LOT 1 , les impacts sont ici étudiés grâce à une méthodologie distinguant le corridor immédiat de la ligne du reste du territoire métropolitain.
Computational study on encapsulation of 5-fluorouracil drug in nanotubes
Authors: Alshehri Mansoor H.
Published: July 2022

Cancer remains a major health concern worldwide, causing high rates of morbidity and mortality. Although chemotherapy with antitumor drugs is the most common treatment for cancer, certain disadvantages limit its usage, such as the damage caused to healthy cells, side effects, and toxicity. Owing to their geometric and mechanical properties, nanotubes are promising nanocarriers of anticancer drugs. Here, the interaction energies of the encapsulation of an anticancer drug by single-walled nanotubes were calculated through the application of the 6–12 Lennard-Jones function with a continuous approach. In particular, the interaction energies of the 5-fluorouracil drug entering three different nanotubes (carbon, silicon and boron nitride) and the offset equilibria inside the nanotubes were obtained. This study aimed at determining the appropriate type and favorable size of nanotubes that can be used to encapsulate the 5-fluorouracil drug. The results showed that the optimal radii of nanotubes for encapsulating the 5-fluorouracil drug were approximately 6.08, 6.05 and 5.98 Å for carbon, boron nitride and silicon nanotubes, corresponding to -16.55, -18.20 and -17.81 kcal/mol, respectively.

Variation of bioactive secondary metabolites in Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume) in different climatic conditions, maturity status and propagation types
Authors: Madhushika K. T. S. , Bulugahapitiya V. P.
Published: July 2022

This paper presents the variation of phytochemical quantities of leaves and bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume (Ceylon cinnamon) under different conditions such as ecological variation, maturity and physical state of the tree, and the propagation type. Among 49 climatic zones in Sri Lanka, six cinnamon growing zones including three wet zones (WL 1a, WL 2a, and WU 2b), two intermediate zones (IL 1a, IL 1b) and one dry zone (DL5) were selected for collecting cinnamon leaves and bark samples. The quantities of phytochemicals in leaves and bark extracts of Ceylon cinnamon according to the climatic difference, maturity stages (1-3, 3-5 and >5 y) and physical stage (flowering, fruiting, flushing), and seed and vegetative propagates (Sri Gamunu and Sri Wijaya) were evaluated. The results showed that climatic zones of WL 1a and IL 1a were the best climatic zones for obtaining high quantities of phytochemical classes in seeding and vegetative propagation types, respectively. Besides, the best phytochemical composition was observed in the leaves with >5 y and the bark of 3-5 y maturity of seed propagation varieties. Comparatively, bark from Sri Wijaya and leaves from Sri Gamunu which belonged to >5 y maturity contained better phytochemical composition in vegetative propagated varieties. According to the physical variations, the best phytochemical composition was observed in the bark samples which were collected in the flowering season, and the leaves samples collected in the fruiting season. Therefore, leaves in >5 y matured stage and bark in 3-5 y matured stage of seed propagation varieties of Ceylon cinnamon which are grown in WL 1a climatic zone are the best Cinnamon cultivar for the purpose of enhancing value chain and development cinnamon into different value adduct products.
A Study to Evaluate the Leadership Skills, Personality Types, Leadership Styles, and Mental Health Status of First-Phase MBBS Students of a Peripheral Medical College in West Bengal
Authors: Chaudhuri Arunima , Saldanha Daniel , Sarkar Sajal K. , Bhattacharya Debayan
Published: July 2022

Background:

Medical education is one of the most stressful academic curricula across the globe and it is important for all students to have leadership and management skills because all physicians need to take responsibility as team leaders.

Aims:

To evaluate the leadership skills, personality types, leadership styles, and mental health status and study the correlation between mental health and leadership skills of first-phase MBBS students in a peripheral Medical College in West Bengal.

Methodology and Participants:

This study was conducted among first-phase MBBS students after taking institutional ethical clearance and informed consent of the participants. The participants were provided with two recorded YouTube videos which included mental health, leadership, and professionalism. Live interactive sessions were conducted. The participants had to fill up six questionnaires for assessment of leadership skills, personality types, leadership styles, perceived stress scores (PSSs) levels, mental health literacy levels, and DASS-21 scores. Feedback was taken from students.

Results:

One hundred and thirty-seven students could complete all tasks and so they were only included for analysis of data. One hundred and six students had PSS levels below 20 and thirty-one students had PSS levels of 20 or above. Mean ± SD of the different parameters assessed were as follows: PSS levels: 16.92 ± 4.16; Mental health literacy scores: 99.54 ± 15.31; Authoritative score: 7.85 ±1.45; Democratic score: 9.35 ± 1.7; Facilitative score: 9.52 ± 1.59; Situational score: 9.29 ± 2.54; Leadership skills test scores: 63.85 ± 14.59. DASS 21 scores: Depression: 11.45 ± 4.03; Anxiety: 12.3 ± 4.35; Stress: 15.1 ± 3.29. PSS was negatively correlated with leadership skill test scores and mental health literacy scores. Leadership skill test scores were positively correlated with mental health literacy scores. There was no significant difference between male and female students in respect of PSS levels, mental health literacy scores, leadership skill scores, authoritative scores, democratic scores, facilitative scores, and situational scores.

Conclusions:

Increased mental health literacy and decreased perceived stress levels were two causes of improved leadership skill test scores in the present study. Students were satisfied with the leadership skills taught to them and this study increased awareness about mental health and leadership among first-phase MBBS students.
Giant Molluscum Contagiosum in an HIV-Positive Patient – A Case with Unusual Presentation and Review of Diagnostic Modalities
Authors: Patokar Abhishek Shriram , Gandhi Mustafa H. , Kukreja Mahak , Khatu Swapna S. , Chaudhari Nitin
Published: July 2022

Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a benign cutaneous viral infection caused by the MC virus belonging to the poxviridae family. The disease is self-limiting in immunocompetent individuals, while it is severe and prolonged when associated with Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection. Dermoscopic examination shows the presence or absence of an orifice and the vascular pattern of vessels. Henderson-Patterson bodies on histopathology, representing intracytoplasmic assemblies of the virus, are pathognomonic. Here, we present a 33-year-old unmarried male with extensive papulonodular lesions over the face, genitals, and groin, for 6 months. Dermoscopy, cytology, and histopathology were consistent with MC. His CD4 count was 9 cell/cu.mm, and HIV-1 and 2 antibodies were reactive. Thus, the diagnosis of giant MC was confirmed, and he was started on anti-retroviral therapy, cryotherapy, and topical imiquimod 5% cream over the lesions.
Midface fracture pattern in a tertiary care hospital – A prospective study
Authors: Shivakotee Satyapriya , Menon Suresh , Sham M. E. , Kumar Veerendra , Archana S.
Published: July 2022

Introduction

The midface with multiple bones and cavities is vulnerable to fractures more commonly. Midface is one of the most frequently injured areas of the body, accounting for 23%–97% of all facial fractures. The classic LeFort type of fractures are uncommon nowadays and a more common picture is more severe forms primarily due to the high-speed vehicles that are a major cause of these fractures. It, therefore, has become imperative to determine the commonly occurring patterns of fractures in this area in the present time for a better insight into diagnosis and treatment plans. The aim of this article was to determine fracture patterns in midface trauma to ease the treatment planning in such a scenario.

Materials and Methods:

This prospective study included 114 patients who reported to a tertiary hospital during a 4-year period and were diagnosed with suspected midface fractures. The etiology and pattern of fractures of midface were assessed based on history, clinical examination, and imaging data. The diagnosis of a fracture was based on the clinical history, signs and symptoms, manual examination, and correct interpretation of radiographs and computed tomography. Midface fractures were recorded as LeFort I, II, III, dentoalveolar, palatal, zygomatic complex fracture, nasal bones, naso-orbital-ethmoidal complex, and orbital and zygomatic arch fractures. Etiological factors were classified as road traffic accidents (RTAs), fall, assault, and sports injuries.

Results:

During the 4-year period, a total of 114 patients were included. Patients' ages ranged from 17 to 68 years, with 102 males and 12 females. The most common fracture in this study was found to be zygomatic complex fractures (52%), and RTA was identified as the main cause of fracture in this study (79.2%).

Conclusion:

The midface fractures are more common in males due to the propensity of males to use two-wheelers more than females. The prominence of the zygoma makes it more vulnerable to fractures than rest of the bones in the midface. Increased speed of vehicles and lack of discipline in following traffic rules have resulted in RTA, being the biggest etiological factor in midface injuries.
Evaluation of orbital volume in unilateral orbital fracture using computed tomography
Authors: Nair Gayathri R. , Senthil Kumar M. S.
Published: July 2022

Aim and Objective:

Our study was an observational and evolutional to analyze the significance of orbital volume calculation in predicting the probability or tendency of developing late enopthalmous on patients with unilateral orbital fracture with or without associated midface injury reported to our hospital.

Materials and Methods:

The subjects in our study included fifteen patients between18 and 60years. They were treated surgically and conservatively. Patients were exposed to series of examination from the day of injury or reporting for a consecutive period of up to six months following injury. CT was taken prior to treatment following management to evaluate the volume change in orbit. Its correlation and significance to treatment outcome were analyzed using MIMICS software by Materialise by comparing injured orbit to opposite side normal eye.

Result:

Conclusive of clinical examination and summary of statistical analysis patients were categorized into three groups: Low (with volume change of less than 2%), Medium (volume change between 2 to 20%) and High (volume change more than 20%) by comparing fractured orbit to uninjured orbit and a statistically significant mean value of 27.7 ± 2.6 cu. mm for fractures eye and 25.9 ± 2.6 cu. mm for normal eye was found (P ≤ 0.05).

Conclusion:

Orbital volume can be considered as useful criteria in evaluation of patients with orbital fracture. Evaluation and follow up in correlation with resultant volume assessment provide a better indicator for assessment of prognosis and enopthalmous. Unlike other methods for volume assessment MIMICS software by Materialise provide a better method and it can be incorporated to working station in hospital. Every CT assessment in orbital trauma should include orbital volume as a parameter and this software is easy and user-friendly software that does not require its technical knowledge for application.

Crime is considered as a serious issue. It makes people worried on their own safety especially when the crime rate is increasing. The study generated the trend analysis and forecasted data of the recorded crimes in Ozamiz City using autoregressive integrated moving average through the GRTEL software. Results showed that majority of the crimes recorded decreased from 2018 to 2021. These include crimes against person, crimes against property, crimes against personal liberty and security and violations against special laws particularly the comprehensive dangerous drugs Act of 2002. However, the violators who resisted persons in authority drastically increased. On the other hand, forecasted data revealed that most of the crimes will most likely increase in occurrence in the year 2022 and will be stabilized in the remaining years. The data gathered from this study can be used by the different law enforcement agencies in planning and creating intervention strategies towards mitigating the occurrence of crimes in Ozamiz City.

Published: July 2022

Katarungang Pambarangay or barangay justice system is a community-based dispute settlement mechanism that is administered by the basic political unit of the country, the barangay. This system can improve the quality of domestic justice; it would reduce the number of indiscriminate filings of cases before the courts and reduce the number of cases filed there to the courts. The study explored the tales of the barangay officials in resolving community disputes in the urbanized barangays. The participants were selected through a snowball and purposive sampling. It based on the inclusion criteria: 1) Residing on working in the barangay 2) Member of the lupon tagamapayapa 3) Voluntarily participated and signed the informed consent. The selected participants were asked about their experiences in resolving community disputes in the interview. Based on the responses four emergent themes were developed namely: 1) Preservation relationship 2) Faster resolution of problems 3) Economically beneficial 4) Practical agreement. As a result, the researchers concluded that the data gathered from the survey questionnaire and the exclusive interview as a supplement and secondary source for the study implied a clear indication that members of the barangay and lupon tagapamayapa are doing their best in the discharge of their mandated powers and functions to fully serve the interest of their settlement in dealing with the resolution disputes of its experience constituents relatively with the segregation. Based on the findings and conclusions drawn from the study, the researchers would like to recommend that barangay officials have a positive mindset to settle barangays well and administer justice properly. Although it is difficult to contain their opponents' temper, barangay officials are focused on resolving their differences and reaching a negotiated agreement that works for all parties involved and has been successful, success in reaching a peaceful resolution without going to court.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Minimally invasive surgical ablation is an emerging alternative method to catheter ablation and the full surgical maze procedure for nonpharmacologic treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). We present a totally thoracoscopic “box lesion” radiofrequency ablation procedure in patients with paroxysmal or persistent AF. Materials and Methods: From June 2011 to October 2012, 14 patients with lone paroxysmal (n = 7) or persistent AF (n = 7) were enrolled in this study. Procedures were performed through 3 5-12 mm holes on each side of the chest wall. A bipolar ablation device was used to create a box lesion in the posterior wall of the left atrium that encircled the 4 pulmonary veins (achieving bilateral pulmonary vein/posterior left atrial wall isolation). Perioperative complications were recorded for all patients. Freedom from AF was assessed by 24-hour Holter monitoring every 3 months or during symptoms of arrhythmia. Results: The ablation was successfully performed in all patients, with median operation time of 128 minutes (range, 45 to 180 minutes). No operative mortality or morbidity were noted during the study period. Freedom from AF was achieved in 12 patients (85.7%) during follow-up (median follow-up 9 months). One patient with persistent AF was shifted to paroxysmal AF. No atrial flutter or atrial tachycardia was noted during the follow-up. Conclusion: These early results show that totally thoracoscopic surgical ablation using a unique “box lesion” procedure for persistent or paroxysmal AF is a feasible and effective method with good short-term results. Further study is necessary to validate this result.

The level of pollution was increased due to several factors such as industrialization, urbanization, vehicles, electronic wastes etc. While burning those fuels the ejection of several toxic gases are released into the atmosphere which causes severe harmful effects to the people. The watching of weather is basically useful in numerous applications like in important scientific systems or for simulation purposes. Weather sensing is one among the most important functions in region applications to examine suited weather environments of alternative planets too. LCD screens are more energy efficient and offer safer disposal than CRTs. Their low watt consumption allows them to be used in powered electronic devices (backlight) or reflector to provide color or black and white images.

The Zhilnoye ore deposit belongs to the Amguema-Kanchalan metallogenic zone with gold-silver ores of different types in terms of the Ag/Au index. They were formed at various stages of the mineral formation. Studying the pyrite features can be used to understand the formation conditions of the mineral deposits and to improve the methodology of their forecasting within the zone. The objective of the work is to identify the main occurrence forms of pyrite and the pyrite generations and to reconstruct the staging of the mineral formation. As a result, various morphological types and occurrence forms of the pyrite were found (single crystals; rounded grains; zones of massive pyritization; intergrowths; and forms of substitution, corrosion, and transformation) and 5 pyrite generations were identified. Within the ore deposit and the Amguema-Kanchalan zone as a whole, 3 productive stages of the mineral formation took place, of which the silver-gold ores of the Zhilnoye deposit were formed at the silver-sulfide-polymetallic stage.

According to the most recent study from the World Health Organization, India has the highest suicide rate in the South-East Asian area. India's suicide rate was estimated at 10.4 suicides per 100,000 persons in the study released the day before World Suicide Prevention Day in 2019. Because of the depression people experience, the suicide rate has soared since the corona virus epidemic began. Suicide is most frequently committed by hanging oneself from a fan. The global rate of hanging suicide is quite concerning. According to a report by the Indian government's National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), quite a few hanging instances are documented each year. The majority of hanging cases are typically suicidal. The likelihood of a homicidal case leading to a hanging scene is exceedingly high. The crime scene must be examined on several key points in an undisturbed state, followed by an autopsy analysis, in order to differentiate between suicidal and homicidal hangings. Many other systems have been suggested to stop these cases. Thus, the primary goal of this study is to decrease the number of suicide attempts that occur, and these prevention techniques will aid in saving lives in order to address this issue.
The protective effects of Azilsartan against hypoxia in endometrial stromal cells: an implication in endometriosis
Authors: Chen Hua , Han Cailing , Ren Liyun , Wang Fang , Cui Jiao , Ha Chunfang
Published: July 2022

Introduction

Endometriosis is a reproductive disorder closely associated with hypoxia stress. Increasing evidences have implied the important roles of angiotensin II (ANG II) receptors in the pathophysiology of endometriosis. Thus, we speculated that Azilsartan (AZL), an ANG II receptor blocker, might have an effective function in controlling endometriosis.

Material and methods

The endometriotic animal model was established in female SD rats (6-8 weeks old, 200-220 g). Rats were divided into sham group and endometriosis (EMS) group. Rats in EMS group were anaesthetized by halothane and a mid-ventral incision was performed to expose the bowels. Human endometrial stromal cell line T-HESC was used for the in vitro assays. The T-HESC cells were cultured in DMEM-F12 mediumwith 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Hyclone), and 4 mM L-glutamine, 0.25% HEPES plus necessary antibiotics (Sigma-Aldrich, USA), at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2.

Results

The results show that upregulation of ANG II type 1 (AT1) receptor was observed in the endometriotic rat models. Treatment with AZL prevented the development of endometriotic lesions and suppressed the expressions of HIF-1α and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) in endometriotic rats. In vitro assays proved that hypoxia-induced proliferation, migration, and invasion of T-HESC cells were attenuated by AZL. AZL inhibited the expression levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), COX-2, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production in hypoxia-induced T-HESC cells. Overexpression of HIF-1α blocked the effects of AZL on T-HESC cells in response to hypoxia.

Conclusions

AZL showed therapeutic function on endometriosis through inhibiting hypoxia-induced cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of T-HESC cells via HIF-1α/COX-2/PGE2 signaling.
A meta-analysis of the effects of strength training on arterial stiffness
Authors: García-Mateo Pablo , Ramirez-Campillo Rodrigo , García-De-Alcaraz Antonio , Rodríguez-Pérez Manuel Antonio
Published: July 2022

Purpose

Arterial stiffness (AS) describes the mechanical properties of the arterial wall and predicts cardiovascular health. Even if it is known that AS is improved by aerobic exercise, the effects of resistance training (RT) are less clear. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to assess the effects of RT on AS.

Methods

A systematic search for randomized controlled trials published until October 2020 was performed in the PubMed, SPORTDiscus, MEDLINE, and Web of Science databases. Overall, 19 studies were selected, with 12.58 ± 0.82 methodological quality points (from a total 15 points) and a total of 626 participants.

Results

No significant long-term effect was noted for RT on AS (ES = –0.07; 95% CI: –0.59 to 0.45; p = 0.789). However, RT induced a significant acute increase in AS (ES = 1.07; 95% CI: 1.55 to 0.59; p < 0.001). No other factors (i.e., age, gender, AS measurement, upper- vs. lower-body RT, training intensity, duration, frequency) had a significant modifying effect on AS in acute or long-term interventions.

Conclusions

Although RT induces an acute AS increase, this effect has no long-term impact, irrespective of the participant’s age, sex, or RT variables, such as intensity. However, the clinical implications of acute AS increase after RT are unknown.
