Expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 9 is positively correlated with the autophagy level in colon cancer
Authors: Zheng Lei , Lu Jia , Kong Da-Lu
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND

Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) expression and autophagy in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues has not been widely studied. CDK9, a key regulator of transcription, may influence the occurrence and progression of CRC. The expression of autophagy-related genes BECN1 and drug resistance factor ABCG2 may also play a role in CRC. Under normal physiological conditions, autophagy can inhibit tumorigenesis, but once a tumor forms, autophagy may promote tumor growth. Therefore, understanding the relationship between autophagy and cancer, particularly how autophagy promotes tumor growth after its formation, is a key motivation for this research.

AIM

To investigate the relationship between CDK9 expression and autophagy in CRC, assess differences in autophagy between left and right colon cancer, and analyze the associations of autophagy-related genes with clinical features and prognosis.

METHODS

We collected tumor tissues and paracarcinoma tissues from colon cancer patients with liver metastasis to observe the level of autophagy in tissues with high levels of CDK9 and low levels of CDK9. We also collected primary tissue from left and right colon cancer patients with liver metastasis to compare the autophagy levels and the expression of BECN1 and ABCG2 in the tumor and paracarcinoma tissues.

RESULTS

The incidence of autophagy and the expression of BECN1 and ABCG2 were different in left and right colon cancer, and autophagy might be involved in the occurrence of chemotherapy resistance. Further analysis of the relationship between the expression of autophagy-related genes CDK9, ABCG2 , and BECN1 and the clinical features and prognosis of colorectal cancer showed that the high expression of CDK9 indicated a poor prognosis in colorectal cancer.

CONCLUSION

This study laid the foundation for further research on the combination of CDK9 inhibitors and autophagy inhibitors in the treatment of patients with CRC.

Authors: Zheng Li , Li Bin , Lei Ling , Wang Li-Jia , Zeng Zhi-Ping , Yang Jian-Dong
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND

Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor in China, and its incidence in the elderly is increasing annually. Inflammatory bowel disease is a group of chronic non-specific intestinal inflammatory diseases, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.

AIM

To assess the effect of screening colonoscopy frequency on colorectal cancer mortality.

METHODS

We included the clinicopathological and follow-up data of patients with colorectal cancer who underwent laparoscopic colectomy or open colectomy at our Gastrointestinal Department between January 2019 and December 2022. Surgical indicators, oncological indicators, and survival rates were compared between the groups. The results of 104 patients who met the above criteria were extracted from the database (laparoscopic colectomy group = 63, open colectomy group = 41), and there were no statistically significant differences in the baseline data or follow-up time between the two groups.

RESULTS

Intraoperative blood loss, time to first ambulation, and time to first fluid intake were significantly lower in the laparoscopic colectomy group than in the open colectomy group. The differences in overall mortality, tumor-related mortality, and recurrence rates between the two groups were not statistically significant, and survival analysis showed that the differences in the cumulative overall survival, tumor-related survival, and cumulative recurrence-free rates between the two groups were not statistically significant.

CONCLUSION

In elderly patients with colorectal cancer, laparoscopic colectomy has better short-term outcomes than open colectomy, and laparoscopic colectomy has superior long-term survival outcomes compared with open colectomy.

Authors: Wu Hong-Mei , Huang Yuan-Yuan , Xu Yu-Qiu , Xiang Wei-Lai , Yang Chang , Liu Ru-Yuan , Li Di , Guo Xue-Feng , Zhang Zheng-Bao , Bei Chun-Hua , Tan Sheng-Kui , Zhu Xiao-Nian
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND

B56ε is a regulatory subunit of the serine/threonine protein phosphatase 2A, which is abnormally expressed in tumors and regulates various tumor cell functions. At present, the application of B56ε in pan-cancer lacks a comprehensive analysis, and its role and mechanism in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are still unclear.

AIM

To analyze B56ε in pan-cancer, and explore its role and mechanism in HCC.

METHODS

The Cancer Genome Atlas, Genotype-Tissue Expression, Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis, and Tumor Immune Estimation Resource databases were used to analyze B56ε expression, prognostic mutations, somatic copy number alterations, and tumor immune characteristics in 33 tumors. The relationships between B56ε expression levels and drug sensitivity, immunotherapy, immune checkpoints, and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-related genes were further analyzed. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was performed to reveal the role of B56ε in HCC. The Cell Counting Kit-8, plate cloning, wound healing, and transwell assays were conducted to assess the effects of B56ε interference on the malignant behavior of HCC cells.

RESULTS

In most tumors, B56ε expression was upregulated, and high B56ε expression was a risk factor for adrenocortical cancer, HCC, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (all P < 0.05). B56ε expression levels were correlated with a variety of immune cells, such as T helper 17 cells, B cells, and macrophages. There was a positive correlation between B56ε expression levels with immune checkpoint genes and HLA-related genes (all P < 0.05). The expression of B56ε was negatively correlated with the sensitivity of most chemotherapy drugs, but a small number showed a positive correlation (all P < 0.05). GSEA analysis showed that B56ε expression was related to the cancer pathway, p53 downstream pathway, and interleukin-mediated signaling in HCC. Knockdown of B56ε expression in HCC cells inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion capacity of tumor cells.

CONCLUSION

B56ε is associated with the microenvironment, immune evasion, and immune cell infiltration of multiple tumors. B56ε plays an important role in HCC progression, supporting it as a prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target for HCC.

Authors: Liu Yan-Chen , Gong Zhi-Cheng , Li Chao-Qun , Teng Peng , Chen Yan-Yan , Huang Zhao-Hui
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND

An increasing number of studies have focused on the role of cellular metabolism in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, no work is currently available to synthesize the field through bibliometrics.

AIM

To analyze the development in the field of “glucose metabolism” (GM), “amino acid metabolism” (AM), “lipid metabolism” (LM), and “nucleotide metabolism” (NM) in CRC by visualization.

METHODS

Articles within the abovementioned areas of GM, AM, LM and NM in CRC, which were published from January 1, 1991, to December 31, 2022, are retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection and analyzed by CiteSpace 6.2.R4 and VOSviewer 1.6.19.

RESULTS

The field of LM in CRC presented the largest number of annual publications and the fastest increase in the last decade compared with the other three fields. Meanwhile, China and the United States were two of the most prominent contributors in these four areas. In addition, Gang Wang, Wei Jia, Maria Notarnicola, and Cornelia Ulrich ranked first in publication numbers, while Jing-Yuan Fang, Senji Hirasawa, Wei Jia, and Charles Fuchs were the most cited authors on average in these four fields, respectively. “Gut microbiota” and “epithelial-mesenchymal transition” emerged as the newest burst words in GM, “gut microbiota” was the latest outburst word in AM, “metastasis”, “tumor microenvironment”, “fatty acid metabolism”, and “metabolic reprogramming” were the up-to-date outbreaking words in LM, while “epithelial-mesenchymal transition” and “apoptosis” were the most recently occurring words in NM.

CONCLUSION

Research in “cellular metabolism in CRC” is all the rage at the moment, and researchers are particularly interested in exploring the mechanism to explain the metabolic alterations in CRC. Targeting metabolic vulnerability appears to be a promising direction in CRC therapy.

Published: February 2024

Raznoliko površje gorskih pokrajin omogoča pestro topoklimo in velike gradiente meteoroloških in klimatoloških elementov, med katere uvrščamo tudi temperaturo zraka. Mrazišča gorskega sveta kažejo zaostrene temperaturne razmere s povečanimi amplitudami, zlasti zaradi izstopajočih najnižjih temperatur. Po letu 2004 je raziskovanje mrazišč v Sloveniji dobilo nov zagon, pretekle raziskave, ki so bile osredotočene zlasti na rastne pogoje, so dobile nadgradnjo na klimatološkem področju. Neprekinjene meritve v več mraziščih, ki so jih izvajali različni raziskovalci v okviru Slovenskega meteorološkega foruma, so privedle do obsežne količine podatkov in spoznanj o temperaturnih razmerah v mraziščih, ki jih podrobneje predstavljamo v tem prispevku. Poleg novih najnižjih izmerjenih temperatur v Sloveniji se je izkazalo, da so, glede na neposredno okolico, letne povprečne temperature sredogorskih mrazišč nižje do 3 °C, povprečne najnižje pa do 7 °C. Temperature pod −30 °C se v Sloveniji v zadnjih desetletjih pojavljajo izključno v mraziščih, v sredogorju to velja tudi za temperature pod −20 °C. Najvišje temperature v mraziščih pa so zelo podobne tistim izven njih, lahko so celo nekoliko višje.

Published: February 2024

This study aims to assess the impact of Work Motivation, Physical Work Environment, and Organizational Culture on Employee Performance at PT Binajasa Abadikarya Jakarta. Recognizing the critical role of employee performance in organizational success, this research endeavors to shed light on the specific factors that contribute to or hinder it. The study employed a primary data collection method, utilizing questionnaires distributed to 160 respondents. The analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression analysis through the Statistical Product and Service (SPSS) version 25. The findings indicate that Work Motivation (X1) and Organizational Culture (X3) exhibit a positive and significant influence on employee performance. Surprisingly, the Physical Work Environment variable (X2) did not show a significant effect on employee performance. PT Binajasa Abadikarya must consider these results seriously, as they suggest the need for targeted interventions in the realms of Work Motivation and Organizational Culture. While Physical Work Environment may not have demonstrated a significant impact in this study, future investigations could delve deeper into this aspect. The study timeframe and sample size should be considered when interpreting the results, and recommendations are proposed for PT Binajasa Abadikarya to focus on enhancing Work Motivation, Organizational Culture, and further exploration of the Physical Work Environment to optimize overall employee performance. This research contributes to the broader understanding of factors influencing employee performance and provides practical insights for organizational improvement strategies.

Published: February 2024

The pioneering AI-Based Speech Analysis Framework presented in this research paper was painstakingly created to help people overcome linguistic obstacles, notably in the context of English language communication. Through a thorough speech analysis, the framework's multimodal approach enables real-time evaluation of emotional state, fluency, stress levels, and even identification recognition. This framework delivers a sophisticated and perceptive interpretation of spoken language by utilizing cutting-edge artificial intelligence approaches, hence promoting an enhanced and successful communication experience. The study is focused on four significant sub-objectives, each of which advances the main objective of encouraging increased self-awareness and communication: First, by detecting subtly emotional indicators embedded in the voice, the framework transforms emotional assessment. The AI algorithms identify emotional patterns, such as enthusiasm, trepidation, or tranquility. This in-the-moment emotional analysis creates opportunities for tailored communication techniques and a greater understanding of the speaker's feelings. The framework also introduces a novel way for assessing fluency levels using voice analysis. It analyzes various facets of speech, such as pace, intonation, and lexical decisions, giving language learners immediate feedback on their level of linguistic proficiency. This makes it easier to make focused improvements and to move more easily toward effective communication. The framework also discusses the complex relationship between stress and good communication. It measures stress levels through vocal pattern analysis, offering light on instances of heightened tension or anxiety when speaking. Such knowledge enables people to overcome stress-related hurdles and enhance communication. The framework's capacity to accurately identify people based on distinctive voice traits lies at the heart of its innovation. Language limitations are no obstacle to this identity recognition technology, which provides an effective and secure method of identification in a variety of settings. Voice-based identification detection accelerates procedures and promotes inclusion in a variety of settings, including work settings and public services. The development of an AI-Based Speech Analysis Framework that reveals fresh angles in language evaluation and communication improvement is the culmination of this research. It not only encourages self-improvement but also highlights the revolutionary potential of AI in redefining language landscapes and promoting true connections by merging emotional, fluency, stress analysis, and identity identification through voice.

Reducing body weight and body fat is the primary goal for overcoming obesity. Lifestyle modifications with a non-pharmacological approach based on programmed physical exercise are recommended for increasing energy expenditure and reducing body weight and body fat. This study aims to analyze different types of exercise in reducing and maintaining body fat in obese young adult women. This study was a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a true experimental design. A group of 28 sedentary overweight women were enlisted and provided with aerobic, strength, and mixed exercise regimens. Aerobic, resistance, and combined training programs were conducted with an intensity of 60-70% HRmax for aerobic, and 60-70% 1-RM for resistance. These sessions were performed 3x/week for 4 weeks. Measurement of body fat before-intervention and 24 hours after-intervention for 4 weeks using Seca mBCA 554. The one-way ANOVA test was utilized for statistical analysis, with a significance level of 5%. The findings demonstrated a significant reduction in body fat through all three forms of exercise, evident in the decrease in changes in body mass index, body weight, fat mass, and free fat mass (p ≤ 0.05). Additionally, all three exercise modalities led to a significant increase in changes in skeletal muscle mass in comparison to the control group (p ≤ 0.05). Our study results concluded that the combination type of exercise performed 3x/week for 4 weeks was more beneficial in lowering body fat and increasing muscle mass compared to aerobic exercise and resistance type exercise in obese young adult women.

A Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) aumenta a cobertura à saúde com a equipe multiprofissional e com o Núcleo de Apoio/Ampliado à Saúde da Família (Nasf). Com o Nasf a Terapia Ocupacional ampliou sua inserção na APS. Em 2019, o Programa Previne Brasil alterou o financiamento da APS e o custeio de equipes Nasf, com implicações para a APS e possivelmente para a Terapia Ocupacional. Objetivo: Revisar a atuação dos terapeutas ocupacionais no Nasf na última década, refletindo sobre os possíveis impactos do Programa Previne Brasil nos processos de trabalho Método: Trata-se de revisão narrativa da literatura brasileira, com análise temática. Resultados: Foram selecionadas 23 publicações. A Terapia Ocupacional no Nasf segue pouco conhecida; com estrutura e recursos materiais limitados. Tem como potencialidades a sintonia com o trabalho em equipe, apoio matricial, grupos e atenção domiciliar. Não há publicações que reflitam sobre a Terapia Ocupacional-Previne Brasil. Alguns autores afirmam não haver impactos para APS e saúde da população com o desfinanciamento do Nasf, entretanto a maior parte das publicações temem a perda da integralidade do cuidado na APS sem o Nasf. Conclusão: O Nasf era a principal equipe para atuação do terapeuta ocupacional na APS. Atrelado ao desconhecimento da profissão pode haver riscos de ausência da Terapia Ocupacional em novos arranjos definidos pelo Previne Brasil. Mudanças na APS geram inquietações, sendo necessário acompanhar seus possíveis impactos.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: Type-2 diabetes mellitus, a major public health problem, is caused by insulin resistance. In diabetics, chronic hyperglycemia results in formation of reactive oxygen species. Oxidative stress in diabetic patients is responsible for hepatic damage because it causes activation of several pro-inflammatory mediators in liver. Hepatic complications of diabetes include fatty liver disease, necrosis, cirrhosis, carcinoma and liver failure.
Aims & Objectives: To determine and compare the hepatoprotective effect of extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar in streptozotocin induced Type-2 diabetic rat model.
Place and Duration of Study: This experimental study was conducted at Animal House of Postgraduate Medical Institute, Lahore, Pakistan from May 2021 to June 2021.
Material & Methods: In this study, 40 male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups i.e., Group I was NC (negative control), Group II PC (positive control), Group III EVOO (Extra virgin olive oil) and Group IV (Apple cider vinegar), each group having 10 rats. Diabetes was induced in all rats except the rats of NC group at the start of the study by intraperitoneal administration of injection nicotinamide, followed by injection STZ after 15 minutes. Group III was given 1ml/100gBW/ day EVOO and Group IV was given 2ml/kgBW/day diluted ACV with distilled water in 1:5 orally for 4 weeks. Terminal sampling was performed at the end of the 4th week for estimation of liver enzymes (ALT, ALP and AST) in serum. Data were entered and analyzed in SPSS version 26. p value of ? 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: On comparison with PC group, both the treatment groups showed significant decrease in serum ALT levels with p values 0.026 for EVOO and < 0.001 for ACV. Serum ALP levels were also decreased significantly in both the treated groups with p value < 0.001 for EVOO as well as for the ACV group. However, reduction in serum AST levels was nonsignificant with p values 0.082 and 0.058 in EVOO and ACV groups respectively.
Conclusion: Both EVOO and ACV have hepatoprotective effect in Type-2 diabetic rats. However, ACV is more effective.

Application of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Method in Comparing Stakeholder Perceptions of Tourism Impact in Mentawai Islands
Authors: Andika Rifan , Subanu Leksono Probo
Published: February 2024

Tourism has become one of the important industries in the Mentawai Islands. Some people depend on the tourism sector. The tourism sector does not come without any consequences or impacts, both positive and negative. Each tourism stakeholder has a perception of the tourism impact. It is necessary to trace stakeholders’ perceptions of the impact of tourism on a tourist destination so that these perceptions can be a reference in tourism development that can represent the interests of all parties. This study explored stakeholder perceptions of tourism impact in the Mentawai Islands. The stakeholders studied in this study are local governments and local communities. This quantitative research used the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach to obtain priority impacts from both stakeholder groups. Analyzing stakeholder perceptions seldom use the AHP method. The method is different from quantitative methods in general. A mathematical approach determines stakeholder perceptions of tourism impacts instead of statistical approaches. The tourism impact focused on three main impacts, i.e., economic, socio-cultural, and environmental impacts. The study shows that local governments' perceptions of the tourism impact are dominant in the economic impact (40.14%). Meanwhile, the local community’s perceptions tend to the environmental impact (40.24%). When compared, several impact criteria are considered equally important by both stakeholder groups. Based on this, the comparison of these two stakeholder perceptions can be a reference in the development of tourism in the Mentawai Islands.

Tourism significantly influences global economic, social, and environmental landscapes, with women playing a crucial role in its dynamics. Despite their substantial presence in the tourism workforce, women, particularly in Bali, often face disparities in benefiting from their roles. This article employs a phenomenological approach to examine the experiences of Balinese women in the tourism industry, focusing on how they navigate their roles amidst the cultural values inherent to them. The study delves into the dual aspects of their lives, exploring their perceptions and roles in both public and domestic spheres. It aims to uncover the challenges these women face and the potential support mechanisms that could bolster their active participation in the tourism sector. By providing an in-depth analysis of the unique challenges and opportunities encountered by Balinese women, this research offers a comprehensive understanding of their indispensable role within the tourism landscape, set against the backdrop of Bali's unique cultural and social context. The results showed that there is gradual acceptance and encouragement of women in tourism, providing women with opportunities, and a discernible shift towards a more favorable societal view of women in significant positions. This study emphasizes the need for strategies to address the disparities they face regarding skill development and education, workplace flexibility, and community engagement and support, which are critical areas for policy intervention. It is a call for action, a script for empowerment, and a blueprint for greater involvement in an industry where their presence is not just important but indispensable.

Influencias de la Modernidad y el eurocentrismo en la educación latinoamericana: un camino hacia pedagogías descolonizadoras
Authors: Alvarez Nuria Rocio
Published: February 2024

La Modernidad se caracterizó por los ideales propios de la Ilustración, entre cuyos rasgos se destacan el racionalismo, la confianza en el poder de la razón, la divulgación del saber y la fe en el progreso del conocimiento. Mediante la experiencia escolar se pretendió dotar de racionalidad a los individuos y formar ciudadanos tendiendo a la homogeneidad de los sujetos. El proyecto moderno ilustrado implicó el desarrollo de la epistemología hegemónica o eurocéntrica que se basaba en el carácter y validez universal de las formas y modelos europeos de conocimiento, lo cual se instauró en Latinoamérica debido al colonialismo imperante. En este artículo se estudia la influencia del eurocentrismo en Latinoamérica en lo referente al campo educativo en el marco de las relaciones de dominación coloniales, los procesos de descolonización y el surgimiento de pedagogías descolonizadoras como modo de superación de las imposiciones coloniales hegemónicas, haciendo foco en la educación popular de jóvenes y adultos.
La implementación del modelo GIRSU en el AMBA: aportes conceptuales y metodológicos del enfoque socio-técnico a partir del caso del municipio de Quilmes
Authors: Ferraro Sergio Daniel
Published: February 2024

Partiendo de un enfoque socio-técnico, que considera la inscripción material, normativa y simbólica de las tecnologías entendidas en sentido amplio (de producto, proceso y organización), mi investigación busca reconstruir y analizar la trayectoria de la implementación del modelo GIRSU en el Municipio de Quilmes, identificando sus continuidades, discontinuidades, rupturas e innovaciones tanto en relación a la política municipal de gestión de residuos como en términos de su integración en el AMBA. De esta manera, presento en clave comparativa tres alianzas socio-técnicas constitutivas de esta trayectoria, identificando el interjuego entre actores, intereses, agendas y tecnologías involucradas en la implementación de la GIRSU. Lejos de asumir el carácter unívoco de este modelo, mi trabajo evidencia las diferentes modalidades que asume la definición de sus objetivos, alcances y dinámicas problema/solución, así como la consiguiente materialización diferencial de acciones en el territorio. En términos más amplios, mi trabajo busca aportar a una mayor comprensión de los procesos de funcionamiento/no-funcionamiento de políticas públicas que buscan promover dinámicas de desarrollo inclusivo y sustentable en territorios complejos como el AMBA.

Authors: Gaiero Marco
Published: February 2024

En el presente trabajo se aborda la relación entre delitos violentos —principalmente homicidios— y los delitos de cuello blanco a partir del caso de Marcelo “Coto” Medrano y la agencia financiera Cofryco de la ciudad de Rosario. Al respecto, se tiene como supuesto que, si bien las dinámicas relacionadas a la venta de drogas en los territorios que componen a esta localidad se estructuran en base a un uso predilecto de la violencia, existe un conjunto de actores pertenecientes a los estratos sociales altos de la sociedad rosarina que participan en estas tramas, mediante el desarrollo de conductas delictivas que representan una desviación de sus profesiones legales.
