Authors: Shi Na , Zhang Chu-Qiong , Han Long , Ouyang Gang
Published: September 2021

Objectives: By observing the effect of acupoint catgut embedding on the intestinal flora of ovariectomized osteoporotic rats, the correlation between the regulation of intestinal flora and the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis was discussed preliminarily.Methods: By observing the effect of acupoint catgut embedding on the intestinal flora of ovariectomized osteoporotic rats, the correlation between the regulation of intestinal flora and the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis was discussed preliminarily.Result:Compared with Group A and Group B, bone mineral density (BMD) of femur and tibia in Group C decreased significantly (p<0.05), indicating successful modeling. Compared with Group C, BMD of femur and tibia in Group D was significantly increased (p<0.05). Compared with Group A and Group B, content of serum estrogens, calcium, and PTHrP in Group C were significantly decreased (p<0.05 or p<0.01). Content of serum estrogen, calcium, and PTHrP in Group D were significantly higher than those in Group C (p<0.05 or p<0.01). Compared with Group A and Group B, the abundance of mollicutes, actinobacteria, acidobacteria, chloroflexi and fusobacteria in group C was significantly increased. The abundance of probiotics in Group D such as lactobacillales, (lactobacillaceae, lactobacillus), bacillales, and streptococcus was significantly higher than that in Group C (p<0.05). The content of SCFAs such as acetic acid, butyric acid, iso-valeric acid, valeric acid and caproic acid in Group D were significantly higher than those in Group C, with statistical significance (p<0.05).Conclusions: Acupoint catgut embedding can effectively improve BMD, increase content of estrogen, calcium, PTHrP and SCFAs. Furthermore, embedding can also improve the abundance of probiotics and reduce the abundance of pathogenic bacteria. The changes of intestinal flora were correlated with the changes of estrogen and calcium, which may be one of the mechanisms of acupoint catgut embedding in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Published: September 2021

Dermatitis artefacta, also known as factitial dermatitis, is a disease in which self-inflicted skin injury is utilized to fulfill a conscious or unconscious urge to play the sick part. It is more frequent in women and individuals who have an underlying mental illness or are under external stress. The diagnosis is one of exclusion, and it is sometimes difficult to establish since patients seldom acknowledge to playing a part in the development of their lesions. Treatment can be difficult, and treatment should rely on a multidisciplinary team comprised of dermatology and psychiatrist.

Surgical Adverse Outcomes in Patients with Serious Mental Illnes
Authors: Armando Gerry
Published: September 2021

Serious mental illness (SMI) influences 3 % of the populace and incorporates handicapping types of despondency and uneasiness, just as maniacal issues, for example, bipolar and schizophrenia. Patients with schizophrenia were known to have a higher risk of complications during hospitalization. Quality of care has become the key factor in reducing their potential mortality afterwards. Patients with SMI were substantially less liable to have significant medical procedure, in the wake of controlling for age, other segment measures, and illness trouble. For patients of a similar age, sex, race and comorbidity status, having a previous genuine psychological instability passed on a significantly diminished probability of careful mediation. Clinical and careful hospitalizations for people with schizophrenia had in some measure double the chances of a few kinds of unfriendly occasions than those for people without schizophrenia. These antagonistic occasions were related with poor clinical and financial results during the emergency clinic confirmation. Endeavors to decrease these unfriendly occasions should turn into an examination need.

Authors: Schifferer Lukas , Stinglhamer Martin , Kaur Kirandeep , Macheño Olga García
Published: September 2021

This review intends to provide an overview on the role of halide anions in the development of the research area of asymmetric anion-binding organocatalysis. Key early elucidation studies with chloride as counter-anion confirmed this type of alternative activation, which was then exploited in several processes and contributed to the advance and consolidation of anion-binding catalysis as a field. Thus, the use of the halide in the catalyst–anion complex as both a mere counter-anion spectator or an active nucleophile has been depicted, along with the new trends toward additional noncovalent contacts within the HB-donor catalyst and supramolecular interactions to both the anion and the cationic reactive species.

Для расчета статистического аксептанса КФМ использовался траекторный метод. Функция плотности вероятности захваченных фазовых точек предназначена для определения матриц вторых моментов. Элементы этих матриц описывают эллипсы захвата на X и Y фазовых плоскостях. Мерой согласования Гауссова пучка и аксептанса квадруполя служат площади эллипсов. При постоянных параметрах Гауссова пучка ионов эффективность согласования слабо уменьшается с увеличением разрешающей способности. Полученные данные будут полезны при проектировании современных источников ионов.

To calculate the statistical QMF acceptance, an ion trajectory method has been used. The probability density functions of accepted points allow fitting the matrix of the second moments. The elements of these matrices describe the acceptance ellipses on phase X and Y planes. The measure of the coupling Gaussian beam and quadrupole acceptance is ellipse area. Colored distributions of the input and output coordinates and velocities are presented, in which the initial phases are marked with different colors. It was found that with increasing resolution, the statistical acceptance ellipses are nested into each other. At constant parameters of the input Gaussian beam, the matching efficiency weakly decreases with resolution. The obtained data will be useful for creation a new modern ion sources.

Introduction. Hemodynamic changes of the cerebral arteries in ophthalmic migraine may be an important pathophysiological mechanism of the disease. The nitric oxide (NO) synthesis plays a significant role in hemodynamic changes due to vasodilatation effect. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the possible hemodynamic changes by Doppler measurements and their correlation with NO synthesis in ophthalmic migraine. Method. 37 ophthalmic migraine patients were compared with 35 healthy volunteers. Other cerebral and ophthalmic diseases were excluded by ophthalmological, neurological, and cranial MRI examinations. The migraine assessment scale (MIDAS) was used for clinical evaluation. Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) was performed using 2 and 4 MHz frequencies transducers. The flow velocities of the internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery, posterior cerebral artery, and NO plasma concentration were assessed 2 hours after migraine attacks. Results. The NO synthesis was significantly increased compared to the control group. The flow velocities decreased in internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery, and posterior cerebral artery. The correlation between decreased flow velocities and NO plasma concentration was significant. Conclusions. Autonomic nervous system dysfunction in ophthalmic migraine is an important pathophysiological mechanism. The flow velocity status may reflect the vasomotor response and endothelial reactivity induced by NO synthesis. Further studies on the vasomotor response are necessary for the evaluation of this pathophysiological mechanism implication in ophthalmic migraine.

Objectives. The identification of the types, characteristics and correlations of epileptic seizure triggers in children with epilepsy from Romania. Material and methods. Transversal observational study on 278 children with epilepsy using the questionnaire method, containing questions regarding seizure characteristics, demographical information and medical history. Results. The lot characteristics were average age 9.74 years; 57.2% males; 19.4% positive epilepsy family history; 48.2% late psychomotor development; 54% deficitary neuropsychological development; 25.2% treatment resistant epilepsies; 59.7% of children had focal epileptic seizures, 35.3% had generalized. Average number of triggering factors was 3 and 20.1% of children had no seizure trigger. The most frequently reported factors were: sleep deprivation 39.57%, anxiety 23%, sleep disturbances 22.66%, fever 20.50%, anger 19%, light stimulation 17.27%, crying 16.19%, interrupting antiepileptic medication administration 14.39%, watching too much TV 14.39%, physical fatigue 12.59%. The number of seizure triggers can be mathematically modelled according to age and treatment resistance. Unresponsiveness to treatment of the epilepsy has a few predictors: timing of the seizure occurrence, imaging alterations, late psychomotor development, IQ, the number of seizure triggering factors. Conclusions. There was at least one seizure trigger identified in 79.9% of children with epilepsy. The most frequent reported trigger was sleep deprivation. The number of seizure triggers can be estimated through mathematical modelling. Treatment resistance of epileptic seizures has more predicting factors.

On the early stage of cardiac decompensation, the blood flow in common carotid and basilar arteries does not change, however the seizure readiness (SR) of animals increases. The preserved reaction on hypercapnic and compression tests allows us to stipulate that the increased SR is not related to the circulatory brain disorders. Progressive aggravation of cardiac failure (CF) leads to the severe stage of decompensation accompanied by decreased blood flow in common carotid and basilar arteries, as well as increases SR. At the same time the metabolic cascade of autoregulation is areactive and myogenic is significantly decreased. Ineffective operation of heart in different stages of heart failure shows not the same effect or backup possibilities for cerebral hemodynamic autoregulation affecting the formation and aggravation of SR. The increased SR in cardiac failure is not always caused by brain ischemia.

Introduction. Multiple sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disease for which correct prevalence and incidence data are mandatory to assess the long term health policy in terms of social and economic burden. The present study aims to evaluate the prevalence of MS and the distribution of clinical MS forms in Timis County, a region inhabited by 3.39% of the Romanian stable population according to the 2011 Romanian census, and is meant as a sample of the national situation. There have been no previous attempts to assess the MS prevalence status in Timis County. Material and methods. This study was conducted in a well-defined geographical area (i.e. the Timis County which lies in the Western region of Romania) exploring the prevalence of MS and the patients’ clinical profile. The information regarding MS patients was obtained using hospital records and the files of the patients treated and followed up in the Romanian National MS Program for treatment of MS. Results. The crude calculated prevalence was 53.6 per 100,000 inhabitants. The F:M ratio was 1.7 corresponding to a number of 220 (65.4%) females and 116 (34.5%) males. Discussions. This study is the first attempt to estimate the prevalence of multiple sclerosis in Timis County as part of an ongoing project of the National Romanian Society of Neurology to build up the Romanian MS Registry and our results indicate higher prevalence values than expected, fact due to an increased diagnostic accuracy provided by clear cut diagnosis criteria and MRI standardized magnetic resonance imagery procedures currently available.

Chiari malformations are congenital defects involving the cerebral structures in the posterior fossa. They range from asymptomatic cerebellar tonsil herniation beside the brainstem, to cerebellar aplasia. These conditions were first described in 1890 and are still considered a rare occurrence even though they are more likely under-diagnosed rather than rare. We report the case of a 44 year old woman with Chiari type I malformation and associated cervical syringomyelia.

Published: September 2021

Introduction. Obstructive Sleep Apneea (OSA) is a common condition and its predominance is directly related to the explosion of obesity in western society. Obstructive Sleep Apneea is manifested by recurring episodes of collapse of the upper airway during sleep. Obesity and the increase of neck circumference, as well as visceral fat are risk factors for OSA. OSA is more common in men than in women, although women have higher rates of obesity. Objectives. The goal of this article was to show the correlation between OSA and obesity, adipose tissue in the abdomen and neck, sex and background of the patients in the study group. Materials and methods. In this article we present the results of a test group of 101 patients diagnosed with OSA, in the records of the “Marius Nasta” Pneumoftiziology Institute, patients being evaluated at 2, 6, 12 months. Comparative results and discussion. In this study can be observed a higher frequency of male patients (82.17%) compared to female patients (17.83%). Patients go to a doctor when they are in an advanced stage of the disease (from 101 patients, 88 display the severe form OSA). Most patients were obese (100 patients out of 101) in various stages of obesity. A larger number of patients come from urban areas (89 patients) compared with the patients from the rural areas (12 patients). Conclusions. As a conclusion of this study, can be seen that obesity is closely correlated with the severity of OSA and the distribution of fat in the neck and abdomen has an important role. The disease is more common in men than women, and there is a higher number of patients from the urban areas who seek help from a doctor.

Introduction. The utilization of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) brings an important piece of information to an overall MR study, thus aiding the physician in making an accurate assumption regarding the histological grade of a tumor. The purpose of this study is to verify the reliability of MRS in correctly diagnosing both the nature of tumors and their grade. Material and methods. This is an observational study that was conducted from January 2011 to June 2016 on 49 patients confirmed to be low-grade gliomas (LGG) by pathological examination, who were admitted in our Neurosurgery Department in this period. Both retrospective and prospective data were collected. Inclusion criteria comprise unique tumoral lesion at the moment of diagnosis, follow-up for at least one year. Exclusion criteria included: other types of tumors with any location, patient refusal to undergo histopathological examination of the resected tissue, uncompliant and non-collaborating patients. Of all patients, 22 were subjected to an MRS study which suggested the presence of a low-grade glioma subsequently confirmed by the pathological examination. Results. MRS has been shown to provide accurate non-invasive diagnosis of LGG’s, by analyzing the concentration of metabolites inside the lesions which tend to be specific for these tumours: relatively elevated levels of N-acetylaspartate and creatine with reduced levels in the concentration of choline and absent lipids and lactate. It has also been observed that pre-operative MRS assists the physician in selecting the optimal place for biopsy, so that the pathological examination provides conclusive results. Conclusions. With the increased availability of MRI technology, MRS comes as a milestone in the advancement of more accurate and patient-friendly methods of diagnostic for pathologies as LGG’s which constitute a permanent challenge for neurosurgeons. The results of this study underlines the importance of MRS as a method for follow up patients with LGG, but cannot replace the need for obtaining bioptic tissue for pathological examination, especially after the new grading system of WHO, which was published in June 2016. This new grading system takes into account the molecular biology in predicting the natural history of cerebral tumours.

The Strategy of Education and Training During The Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Laksono Bayu Adi
Published: September 2021

The purpose of this research is to find out how to manage education and training
strategies that not only maintain the existence of the institution but also provide benefits for the perpetrators even though it is carried out during the pandemic. This research was conducted in 6 courses and training institutions in East Java and West Java, from March to April 2021. Using a qualitative approach, starting with the distribution of a preliminary questionnaire, then elaborated by in-depth interviews. The results of the study show that the pandemic provides fundamental changes to the governance or management of educational and training institutions starting from planning, implementation and evaluation. At the planning stage, the course and training institutions change the time, goals, and costs to adapt to pandemic conditions, then create digital marketing strategies, and initial assessments for material efficiency. At the implementation stage, the institution applies virtual learning, as well as face-to-face meeting if it is really necessary to do so. At the evaluation stage, the institution uses a contextual evaluation adapted to the pandemic situation but with the appropriate conditions.
Kesenian Hadrah Sebagai Warisan Budaya Di Kota Pontianak Kalimantan Barat
Authors: Tindarika Regaria , Ramadhan Iwan
Published: September 2021

Kesenian Hadrah telah menjadi kesenian yang di bawakan dalam beberapa acara yang ruang lingkupnya kecil yang dilakukan oleh kepala keluarga hingga besar seperti perlombaan tingkat provinsi. Oleh karena itu peneliti tertarik mengetahui lebih lanjut keberadaan seni hadrah sebagai warisan budaya di kota Pontianak, Kalimantan Barat. Metode yang dipakai adalah kualitatif deskriptif serta penelitian ini dilakukan dibantu dengan teknik pengumpulan data berupa wawancara kepada narasumber, pengamatan secara langsung dan studi dokumentasi. Dalam mengalisis hasil data, menggunakan suatu pendekatan historis dan antropologis. Setelah dilakukan penganaisisan, didapatkan data bahwa Seni Hadrah mengalami beberapa kali kemunduran dari awal kedatangannya di Kota Pontianak hingga sekarang. Walaupun sempat mengalami kemunduran pada masa penjajahan Jepang, akan tetapi masih terus dipertahankan dan ditampilkan di Kota Pontianak hingga sekarang. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan masih bertahannya grup kesenian Hadrah di Pontianak yang biasanya tampil pada saat peringatan Maulid Nabi, khitanan, pesta nikah dan aqiqah. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan rasa cinta dan kepedulian kepada generasi muda, sehingga dapat melestarikan serta menjaga potensi budaya yang dimiliki melalui nilai-nilai khususnya nilai-nilai agama Islam yang
terkandung dalam seni Hadrah.

Observational Signatures of Planets in Protoplanetary Disks: Temperature Structures in Spiral Arms
Authors: Muley Dhruv , Dong 董 Ruobing 若冰 , Fung 馮 Jeffrey 澤之
Published: September 2021

High-resolution imaging of protoplanetary disks has unveiled a rich diversity of spiral structure, some of which may arise from disk-planet interaction. Using 3D hydrodynamics with β cooling to a vertically stratified background, as well as radiative-transfer modeling, we investigate the temperature rise in planet-driven spirals. In rapidly cooling disks, the temperature rise is dominated by a contribution from stellar irradiation, 0.3%–3% inside the planet radius but always < 0.5% outside. When cooling time equals or exceeds dynamical time, however, this is overwhelmed by hydrodynamic PdV work, which introduces a ∼10%–20% perturbation within a factor of ∼2 from the planet’s orbital radius. We devise an empirical fit of the spiral amplitude

to take into account both effects. Where cooling is slow, we find also that temperature perturbations from buoyancy spirals—a strictly 3D, nonisothermal phenomenon—become nearly as strong as those from Lindblad spirals, which are amenable to 2D and isothermal studies. Our findings may help explain observed thermal features in disks like TW Hydrae and CQ Tauri, and underscore that 3D effects have a qualitatively important effect on disk structure.
Nonlinear Wave–Wave Coupling Related to Whistler-mode and Electron Bernstein Waves Observed by the Parker Solar Probe

Published: September 2021

We report nonlinear wave–wave coupling related to whistler-mode or electron Bernstein waves in the near-Sun slow solar wind with Parker Solar Probe (PSP) data. Prominent plasma wave power enhancements usually exist near the electron gyrofrequency (f
ce), identified as electrostatic whistler-mode and electron Bernstein waves (Malaspina et al. 2020). We find that these plasma waves near f
ce typically have a harmonic spectral structure and further classify them into three types identified by the characteristics of wave frequency and electric power. For short, we will call these type i, type ii, and type iii waves. The first (type i) is the quasi-electrostatic whistler-mode wave and its second harmonic, which resembles the quasi-electrostatic multiband chorus in the Earth’s magnetosphere. The second (type II) is the pure electron Bernstein wave. The last (type iii) is an intermixture of whistler-mode and electron Bernstein waves, where the wave mode driven by the coupling between them was also detected. During the first five orbits of PSP, the type iii spectra have the largest occurrence rate, then the type i spectra. The type ii spectra are the rarest type of wave. Our study reveals that nonlinear wave–wave coupling in the solar wind may be as common as in the Earth’s magnetosphere.
Fermi-LAT Detection of GeV γ-Ray Emission from the Type Ia Supernova Remnant G272.2–3.2
Authors: Xiang Yunchuan , Jiang Zejun
Published: September 2021

A new γ-ray source with a significance level of approximately 5σ was reported in the region of the supernova remnant (SNR) G272.2–3.2 by analyzing the approximately 12.4 yr of observation data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope. Its γ-ray spatial distribution did not show an extended feature, and it had a soft spectrum with a spectral index of 2.56 ± 0.01 in the power-law model. No significant variability of its light curve with 10 time bins was identified, and its spatial positions in the X-ray and GeV bands overlapped. We suggest that the new γ-ray source is a likely counterpart of SNR G272.2–3.2. Analyzing its spectrum, we discussed the likely origins of the γ-ray emission.

Published: September 2021

Nidirana guangxiensissp. nov., a new music frog species, is proposed, based on a series of specimens collected from Mt Daming, Guangxi, southern China. The new species is close to N. yeae, N. daunchina, N. yaoica, and N. chapaensis from southwestern and south-central China and northern Indochina, while the relationships among these species remain unresolved. Nidirana guangxiensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from all known congeners by the genetic divergences in the mitochondrial 16S and COI genes, the behavior of nest construction, the advertisement call containing 6–11 rapidly repeated regular notes, and a combination of morphological characteristics. Furthermore, the Nidirana populations recorded in Guangxi are clarified in this work, providing valuable new information on the knowledge of the genus Nidirana.
