This study looked at the profile of plasma extracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD3) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) vis-à-vis that of CD4 counts in human immunodeficiency virus subjects in Kano State, Nigeria. The subjects for this study comprised twenty (20) non-HIV infected volunteers as control and one hundred (100) HIV infected subjects. Forty nine (49) infected patients have not been on treatment, while fifty one (51) were at various stages of treatment. There was a negative correlation between the serum malondialdehyde concentration and CD4 count (Pearson r=-0.68, p<0.01). There was also a negative correlation between serum malondialdehyde concentration and extracellular superoxide dismutase activity ((Pearson r=-0.71, p<0.01) and Vitamin A concentration (Pearson r=-0.75; p<0.01). Conversely a positive correlation was observed between the CD4 counts in HIV infected patients and activity of extracellular superoxide dismutase (Pearson r=0.86, p<0.01). Similarly there was a positive correlation between CD4 count and serum vitamin A concentration (Pearson r=0.89 p<0.01). The possibility remains for using these indicators to monitor HIV patients not eligible for therapy in resource constrained facilities of our rural areas.

Functioning as an extracellular protease, dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) preferentially cleaves the peptide bond after the penultimate proline residue. We report here that DPP-IV cleaves the first two amino acids from insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), revealed by mass spectrometry. The kinetic parameters of the proteolytic cleavage indicate that this reaction is physiologically relevant. Interestingly, truncated IGF-1 is less potent than the full-length protein in activating the IGF-1R, but binds more readily to IGF-binding protein 3 (IGFBP3). Quantitative RT-PCR showed that the level of DPP-IV mRNA is dramatically lower in lung squamous cell carcinoma tissues than in adjacent nonneoplastic lung tissues. However, this reduction was not observed in lung adenocarcinoma tissues. Our study suggests a possible link between IGF-1 and DPP-IV in cancer development in a specific tumor niche. A DPP-IV-related pathway may be important in mitigating IGF-1 signaling. Consequently, a robust IGF signaling pathway may accelerate early carcinogenesis in environments lacking DPP-IV.

Published: September 2023

Spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods were developed for the determination of dothiepin hydrochloride (DOP) in different dosage forms. The spectrophotometric method (Method I) is based on formation of a binary complex with eosin at 540 nm in acetate buffer of pH3.7. The absorbance-concentration plot is rectilinear over the range 1-10 μg/mL with LOD of 0.18 μg/mL and LOQ of 0.54 μg/mL. The spectroflurimetric method (Method II) is based on the quantitative quenching effect of Dothiepin on the native fluorescence of eosin at the same pH. The quenching of the fluorescence of eosin was measured at 543 nm after excitation at 304 nm. The fluorescence-concentration plot is rectilinear over the range 0.3-8 μg/ mL with LOD of 0.11 μg/mL and LOQ of 0.34 μg/mL. The proposed methods were successfully applied to the analysis of commercial tablets and capsules containing the drug. Statistical comparison of the results with those of the reference method revealed good agreement and proved that there were no significant differences in the accuracy and precision between the two methods respectively.
Современный композитор и музыка мира: вопросы взаимодействия
Authors: Юнусова Виолетта
Published: September 2023

В статье рассматривается проблема взаимодействия современного композитора с музыкальными культурами мира, в том числе её специфика на Востоке и Западе. Сходства и различия в творческом синтезе элементов разных культур послужили импульсом к осмыслению отношения композиторов к «чужому» материалу, будь то цитата, электронная обработка этнографической записи или художественное воплощение философских идей. В качестве примеров приведены сочинения Оливье Мессиана, Карлхайнца Штокхаузена, Джона Кейджа, Тань Дуня, Бакира Баяхунова, Халима Эль-Даба. С точки зрения музыкальной культурологии и музыкального востоковедения проанализированы творческие концепции произведений, включающих ту или иную форму переосмысления заимствованного материала. Даётся типология этого явления в странах Азии, определены два типа взаимодействия: с культурами региона, как близкими по традиции, и с культурами мира, далёкими от исходной. В музыке Азии выделяются векторы взаимодействия Восток – Восток и Восток – мир, которые дополняют сложившийся вектор Восток – Запад и определяют своеобразие современной ситуации. В процессе возникновения и становления данных векторов отмечена роль таких факторов, как развитие средств транспорта, связи, технических средств фиксации звука, а также тенденция вхождения музыки Азии в мировое культурное пространство и потребность композитора в более широком общении.
Ballet by Pavel Goncharov and Modernism: at the Intersection of Two Methods of One Style
Authors: Portnova Tatiana
Published: September 2023

The article explores the creativity work of Pavel Goncharov (1886–1941) – a ballet artist and a painter who is not as well-known among masters of Russian modernism, but is an interesting author of the late 19th to early 20th century, who created a unique series of graphic works dedicated to Russian ballet. By focusing on the artistic characteristics of the modernist style, the author notes that it began its development in architecture, decorative and applied arts, graphics, and extended to choreography, including classical dance. The interaction of related arts (graphics and ballet) led to the formation of synthetic visual images, which are analyzed in the article in morphological, stylistic, and compositional contexts. Using primarily historical and cultural and typological research methods, the author identifies a number of directions in Pavel Goncharov’s visual creativity: character actor images, sketches for the Firebird ballet, autolithographs for Fyodor Lopukhov’s The Greatness of the Universe dance symphony, and book graphics for ballet publications. Analogies are drawn with the aesthetics of the painters of the World of Art movement, whose graphic works included a theatrical concept, manifested in the drawn silhouette imagery, striking poses and gestures, actorly sensibility, and theatricality of costumes. The conclusion is drawn that the dance plasticity of modernism, borrowing many elements of graphic language at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, created versatile artistic and stylistic techniques, one example of which is the figurative format of Pavel Goncharov’s works, possessing an individual system of expressive means.

Integrated Approach for Bioethanol and Paper Production using Populus deltoides Wood Biomass: An Experimental Study
Authors: Dharamveer  , Gupta Praveen Kumar , Rana Vikas , Basu Soumya
Published: September 2023

Lignocellulosic materials contain two major sugar macromolecules, cellulose and hemicellulose, and polyphenolic lignin. During pulping, lignin and hemicellulose are broken down into smaller molecules such as organic acids, and removed in the black liquor, leaving cellulose fibers for papermaking. Lignocellulose consists of approximately 28–35% hemicelluloses, which are lost during the pulping process in black liquor and are an important source of sugars that can be used to produce bioethanol as a liquid fuel. The hemicellulosic sugars from the Populus deltoides (poplar) lignocellulosic biomass were partially extracted keeping in mind that it does not affect the properties of paper beyond acceptable limits, further converting these extracted sugars by fermentation to bioethanol, followed by pulping the residual biomass and papermaking and determining pulping and papermaking properties. With the increasing demand for lignocellulosic biomass by various industries, an integrated biorefinery approach for maximum utilization of its chemical components with minimum degradation is necessary in the future. The maximum bioethanol yield was found to be 3.58 g/L. On manufactured paper sheets, the mechanical properties tensile index and tear index of pre-extracted biomass were observed as 19.23 Nm/g and 3.5 mNm2/g and slightly lower against the control 21.34 Nm/g and 4.0 mNm2/g. The main objective of the present study is to recover reducing sugars before the pulping process for bioethanol production and to further utilize the remaining residue for papermaking without disturbing its fiber integrity.

Published: September 2023

Background and Aim: With the deepening of population aging, attention to the health issues of the elderly has become particularly important. Sports tourism, as a beneficial activity for physical and mental well-being, has great potential for maintaining and enhancing the health of the elderly. However, there is currently a lack of a systematic evaluation index system to assess the impact of sports tourism on the health of the elderly. This research objective was to develop the evaluation index system for assessing the impact of sports tourism on the health of the elderly in Xi'an City.
Materials and Methods: This study took the construction of the evaluation index system of sports tourism on the health of the elderly aged 60 and above in Xi'an as the research object, and selected experts including 5 Elderly social science-related teachers were selected from universities. Two rounds Delphi method uses 17 Elderly experts in related fields, sports government departments, and managers of the Palace of Culture for the elderly to participate in the expert consensus on key indicators. Use organized a focus group composed of 9 elderly teachers from universities, sports government departments, and administrators of the Cultural Palace for the Elderly.
Result: (1) The Kendall's W values of the first-level, second-level, and third-level indicators were 0.208, 0.169, and 0.156 all of the W values show relatively low agreement. The P-value of the first-level, second-level, and third-level indicators were 0.014, 0.000, and 0.000 indicating that the observed difference is statistically significant. (2) Physical health measurement and mental health measurement are the most important first-level indicators, with weights of 0.37 and 0.38. Physical fitness measures, the ability to perform activities of daily living, and disease status are the most important secondary indicators. The mental health measures, positive performance, and negative performance are the most important third indicators. The social health measure and the sports tourism activity measure were relatively low weighted at 0.16 and 0.09, respectively. This means that for the health evaluation of the elderly in Xi'an, the importance of physical and mental health and social health is higher.
Conclusion: (1) The evaluation index system of sports tourism for the health of the elderly in Xi'an was constructed, and 4 first-level, 14 secondary, and 37 third-level indicators were finally formed. (2) The weight ratio of indicators at all levels was determined. (3) Through focus group discussion, the importance of sports tourism on the health of the elderly in Xi'an was concluded.

Moringa oil (MO) contains various bioactive components and pharmacology. It is attractive to use as a raw ingredient in various products. However, there are limitations on its direct utilization, especially MO's instability and hastening the active ingredient's degradation from external environmental factors, including temperature, humidity, oxidation, light, and heat. To solve these problems, in this work, microencapsulation of MO using different biopolymers as cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB), ethyl cellulose (EC), and poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) were carried out by a simple solvent evaporation technique. The prepared polymer microcapsule suspensions were highly colloidal stable for all types of biopolymers and ratios. The spherical biopolymer capsules were formed to a micrometer size after solvent evaporation under all conditions. However, when the microcapsules were dried, aggregation was found with the polymer microcapsules at a ratio of PLLA to MO of 50:50 for all three types of polymers, possibly due to the low amount of polymer to completely encapsulate all of MO. When polymer contents increased to 70%, the dried spherical polymer microcapsules were smoothly produced. Using 70% polymers, the PLLA microcapsule surface was smoother than the polymer microcapsules prepared by CAB and EC which exhibited the dent or hole on the outer surface. Micrometer size, spherical polymer capsules with a core-shell morphology were fabricated. Due to the higher hydrophilicity of the polymer than the MO, the polymer moves outward, forming a strong shell around the MO. Then, all three biopolymers can be used for the microencapsulation of MO at a suitable polymer to MO ratio. However, using PLLA at a ratio of PLLA to MO of 70:30 presented the highest encapsulation efficiency (74.08%), which may be due to its high molecular weight. Because of the non-toxicity and biodegradability of biopolymers, the fabricated microcapsules would be well applied in cosmetic products.

Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a single-stranded, mosquito-borne, positive-sense RNA flavivirus that causes one of the most severe encephalitides. There are treatments available for those who contact this illness; however, there are no known cures. This disease has a 30% fatality rate, and of the people who survive, 30–50% develops neurologic and psychiatric sequelae. The JE virus genome size is 10.98 kb and contains two coding DNA sequences (CDS), two genes, and 15 mature peptides; the CDS polyprotein is 10.3 kb. In this study, we used 29 genomics sequences of the JE virus reported from different countries and infecting different animals and analysed vast dimensions of the genomic annotation of JE comparatively to understand its evolutionary aspects. The extensive SNPs analysis revealed that KF907505.1, reported from Taiwan, has only three SNPs, similar to sequences reported from India. Repeat and polymorphism analyses revealed that the genome tends to be similar in most JE sequences.

Critical flicker fusion frequency (CFF) is the frequency at which flickering light can be perceived as continuous and it is used to assess the processing of temporal vision. It is of interest to compare critical fusion frequency (CFF) in mild, moderate & severe internet users. Cross sectional observation study was done among 350 professional students. Internet addictions for around 372 professional students & internet addiction was evaluated by Young's scale of Internet Addiction questionnaire in the age group 18-25 years. CFF was measured using an in-house built LED-based CFF M1 Model instrument. A total of 372 participants (in age group 19-22 years) were recruited. Of the participants 65 % of them were mild internet addictors, 48% were moderate and 7% were severe internet adductors. Among the internet usage, the Kruskal-Wallis test showed a significant difference in internet addiction score, duration of internet usage (hours) and average Critical fusion frequency (Hz) (P<0.001). For the average critical fusion frequency (Hz), the Dwass-Steel-Critchlow-Fligner test showed significant pairwise comparisons between the following: (1) mild internet addictor’s vs moderate internet addictors and (2) Mild internet addictors versus severe internet addictors (p<0.001). Critical flicker fusion frequency(CFF) as it is an easy, quick, and non-invasive technique used as a general indicator of cortical processing, visual persistence for cognitive flexibility.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a multisystem autoimmune disease that causes discomfort, synovial membrane inflammation, peripheral joint inflammation, morning stiffness, articular tissue loss, and restricted joint movement. In the present study, we aim to explore the anti-arthritic efficacy of Bombax ceiba ethanolic extract in a Freund's Complete Adjuvant-induced arthritis, in murine model. The hot soxhlet method was used to extract dried aerial components of Bombax ceiba using an ethyl alcohol: water (70:30) ratio. Bombax ceiba ethanolic extract at two doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg was investigated in Wistar rats against Freund's full adjuvant-induced chronic immunological arthritis. Anti-arthritis efficacy was studied utilising morphological research (paw volume, paw diameter, and body weight). On the 28th day, the animals were sacrificed, and haematological parameters, pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-6), cell culture, histological and radiological analysis were performed. BCEE inhibited paw oedema significantly (P 0.05) at a dose of 40mg/Kg, which was corroborated by paw volume and diameter, as well as haematological parameters, in Freund's complete adjuvant-induced arthritis model. The BCEE also significantly reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine levels and the histopathological changes caused by Freund's full adjuvant model. BCEE preserves synovial membranes by enhancing health and has shown a significant anti-arthritic activity. Thus, data confirms the traditional usage of Bombax ceiba for arthritis.

Eggplant is an important vegetable crop and is a good source of antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. It has been used in ancient medicines for the treatment of multiple diseases. However, the cultivated varieties of eggplant are susceptible to numerous pathogens and pests that have a negative impact on vegetable crops. Increased resistance achieved through resistance genes (R genes) is limited in eggplant breeding due to the fact that R genes are typically specific to a pathogen race and can be quickly surpassed by pathogen evolution. The susceptibility genes (S genes) in plants facilitate pathogen entry and proliferation, thus disabling these genes might be beneficial for providing a broad range and durable resistance against pathogens. Reports on crops such as Arabidopsis, rice, wheat, citrus, and tomatoes have highlighted that the knockout mutants of the S genes are tolerant to multiple different pathogens. The CRISPR/Cas9 system facilitates plant genome editing that can be utilized efficiently for crop improvement. In the current work, we have identified the homologs of candidate S genes DMR1, DMR6, EDR1, and PMR4/5/6 in the eggplant genome and designed and screened putative gRNAs against the identified target loci. The gRNAs were screened and selected on the basis of recognition of the PAM sequence, the MIT score, their minimum free energy, and the secondary structure. Five gRNAs for each gene homolog were selected after an in-depth analysis of all the predicted gRNAs using the above-mentioned criterion.
