Authors: Shi Min , Shui Mingming
Published: December 2021

At present, the problem of food safety has led to a variety of stomach diseases in some people, and antibiotics are mainly used in the treatment. In the clinical treatment, the treatment effect is reduced due to the excessive acidity of gastric acid. In this paper, under the microscope
to observe the sensitivity of omeprazole technology, the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with gastroesophageal reflux disease was proposed, and the importance of nursing intervention was emphasized. This paper first describes the use of ultrasound-guided microscopic observation
technology and clinical deficiencies. Then use the microscope to observe omeprazole sensitivity technology to observe the pathological section of patients, compare the results of diagnosis and gastroscopy, and evaluate the clinical effect of nursing intervention in patients. Methods: 26 patients
with suspected chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in our hospital were selected as the research objects. After the initial diagnosis, treatment measures were taken and nursing intervention was carried out. The results showed that 1 case,
4 cases, 8 cases and 13 cases of unsatisfied, benign, suspicious and malignant cases were diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound-guided microscopic observation under nursing intervention, and the overall consistency with the final cytological diagnosis was 85%. Therefore, endoscopic ultrasound-guided
microscopic observation in the application of gastric lesions is effective and accurate, and can replace the conventional microscopic diagnosis law.

Published: December 2021

Breast milk is different from any nutritional substitutes. Breast milk has biological specificity. The most irreplaceable nutrient for newborns is breast milk. In order to determine the immunoprotective effect of breast milk on newborns, 30 primiparas were selected to obtain a little
milk before feeding in three different periods, which were divided into colostrum, transitional milk and mature milk. The contents of CD3, CD4, CD8, SlgA, IgG and IgM positive cells in nuclear cells were observed by inverted fluorescence microscope. The contents
of IL-8, IFN - γ, and potassium, sodium, chlorine, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus in different time periods were compared between six groups. The results showed that the content of IFN - γ cells in colostrum was 1.61 and that of IL-8 cells was 0.83. However, the contents of
IFN - γ cells and IL-8 cells in colostrum decreased to 0.31 and 0.36 at the time of transition milk. Therefore, breastfeeding from the third to the fifth day after delivery can give more immune cells to the newborn, which is conducive to the establishment of their own immune system.
Therefore, in the teaching of health-related knowledge to pregnant women, we should advocate more maternal breastfeeding newborns, for the health of the newborn.
“Dollars and Nicotine”—Construction Mechanism of Evaluative Meaning in Political Speeches
Authors: Jing Sun , Zhenqian Liu , Wei Hong
Published: December 2021

Objectives: Economy and health are the most basic guarantee for a country’s stable development, they are also mandatory themes in every US President’s State of the Union Address. These two issues will directly determine the Congress and people’s evaluation towards
the president’s governing capacity. Based on the binary division of explicit and implicit evaluation, taking the economic (employment and tax reform) and health (nicotine and drug addiction) of Trump’s State of the Union Address as data, this study has carried out a comparative
analysis on the construction of evaluation meaning, attempting to build the evaluation model. We found that, Trump shows a very strong preference for implicit or indirect evaluation, which includes various graduation resources, infused process of AMOUNT and QUALITY, shared knowledge, specific
numerals and verb tense. A closer analysis indicates that, under different themes, different constructing mechanisms have been utilized to form or strengthen the evaluation implication. To be specific: (1) both explicit and implicit resource are applied in constructing the evaluative meaning;
(2) at different stages under the same theme, the constructing model shows difference, with the explicit resources being more prominent at the beginning or ending stage. In the body part, both explicit and implicit resources are of prominence, which tend to cooperate with each other, evoking
or strengthening the established evaluative meaning. It proves that different types of evaluative resources show different degrees of prominence across stages within same theme.

Authors: Xu Weiguo , Wu Junhua , Feng Yong , Zhu Jing , Cui Rong
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND: We aimed to explore the serum HMGB1 levels in patients with smoking-induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the correlations with airflow restriction and immune function.

METHODS: A total of 136 COPD patients were divided into mild, moderate
and severe + extremely severe groups. Thirty-five healthy subjects were selected as control group. Serum HMGB1 levels were measured by ELISA, and the correlations with pulmonary and immune function indices were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted. RESULTS: Pa02,
eosinophil count, FEV1/FVC, FEV1% pred, and IgA, IgM, IgG levels of COPD patients were lower than those of control group, and decreased with airflow restriction aggravation. PaC02, leukocyte count, neutrophil percentage, modified British Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale and COPD Assessment
Test (CAT) scores, D-Dimer (D-D), PCT, CRP and HMGB1 levels, myeloid dendritic cell (mDC) and plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) counts, and mDCs/pDCs of COPD patients exceeded those of control group, and increased with airflow restriction aggravation (P<0.05). HMGB1 levels of COPD patients
were negatively correlated with FEV1/FVC, FEV1% pred, IgA, IgM and IgG levels, and positively correlated with mDC count, pDC count and mDCs/pDCs (P<0.0001). The area under ROC curve was 0.883, the optimal cutoff value was 3.63 ng/mL, and sensitivity and specify were 86.7% and 85.9%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS:
Serum HMGB1 level in patients with smoking-induced COPD rises with airflow restriction aggravation and has significant correlations with the decline of pulmonary and immune functions, with high predictive value for COPD. HMGB1 is a potential biomarker for evaluating COPD progression.

Effect of Comprehensive Rehabilitation Care on the Rehabilitation of Patients with Lumbar Disc Herniation Surgery
Authors: Li Yuhong , Gao zumei
Published: December 2021

The clinical symptoms of lumbar disc herniation, one of the most common low back pain diseases, are a series of manifestations of low back pain, sciatica, and cauda equina compression, and the recurrence rate after treatment is high, which seriously affects work and life. Surgery
is a serious physiological stress in patients with degenerative changes in the lumbar spine and symptoms of nerve damage. If the corresponding nursing work cannot be performed effectively and timely after the operation, it may affect the recovery of postoperative function, cause complications,
and cause motor dysfunction. It may also be accompanied by psychological problems such as depression, which seriously affect the quality of life of the patient. In addition, training can enhance the strength of the back muscles, thereby making up for the destruction of the surgery, helping
to consolidate and improve the treatment effect. However, clinicians often overlook postoperative functional recovery. Therefore, this paper studies the effect of comprehensive rehabilitation nursing on the rehabilitation of patients with lumbar disc herniation, and discusses the comprehensive
rehabilitation nursing intervention measures for patients with lumbar disc herniation. Thereby promoting patients to receive comprehensive rehabilitation care increase health behaviors and improve the quality of life. The proposed method is very effective in the rehabilitation of patients
with lumbar disc herniation.

Published: December 2021

Background: Craniocerebral operation is the main method for the treatment of traumatic brain injury. However, it is very easy to be complicated with intracranial infection after operation, which affects the surgical efficacy and patient’s prognosis. It is also the main cause
of surgical failure. It may also cause patient’s death for some patients with serious diseases. It is found that the infection after craniocerebral operation is often accompanied with abnormal changes of body-related treatment, in which the changes of serological indicators are more
significant. Therefore, it is helpful to provide guidance for the prevention and judgment of patient’s postoperative infection by analyzing the patient’s serological indicators.

Objective: To investigate the risk factors of intracranial infection and the levels of serum
procalcitonin (PCT) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in patients after traumatic brain injury.

Methods: From January 2018 to January 2021, 58 patients with intracranial infection after traumatic brain injury (infection group) were selected, and 116 patients without intracranial infection
after traumatic brain injury (non-infection group) were selected. The difference of clinical data between the two groups was analyzed. Serum PCT and ET-1 levels were measured in the two groups.

Results: In the infection group, admission GCS scoring <8 points, operation time ≥4h,
indwelling time of drainage tube ≥ 2d, preoperative ALB <35g/ L, mechanical ventilation and cerebrospinal fluid leakage were 63.79%, 72.41%, 43.10%, 68.97%, 32.76% and 68.97% respectively, which were obviously higher than those in the non-infection group (P<0.05). Logistic regression
analysis results showed that admission GCS scoring, operation time, indwelling time of drainage tube, preoperative ALB, mechanical ventilation and cerebrospinal fluid leakage were the influencing factors of intracranial infection after traumatic brain injury (OR = 0.712,1.556,1.451,0.641,1.954
and 1.667, P<0.05); serum PCT and ET-1 in the infection group were (0.83 ± 0.20) mg/L and (0.87 ± 0.23) ng/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the non-infection group (P<0.05); serum PCT and ET-1 in patients with different sex, age and pathogen
had no significant difference (P>0.05); serum PCT and ET-1 area under ROC curve were 0.828 and 0.751, respectively P<0.05.

Conclusion: The intracranial infection of patients with traumatic brain injury are affected by many factors including, admission GCS scoring, operation
time, and so on, the levels of serum PCT and ET-1 in patients with intracranial infection are increased, which may be useful in predicting intracranial infection.

Published: December 2021

Objective To study the effect of different surgical approaches of ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block on the analgesic effect in cesarean section. Methods 150 parturients underwent elective caesarean section in our hospital from February 2017 to February 2020 were enrolled
in this study. They were divided into observation group and control group according to the method of random number table, with 75 cases in each group. In control group, anterior QLB was used, while in observation group, posterior QLB was used. The operation process was performed by the same
anesthesiologist. If the injection situation was not ideal, the position of needle tip was timely adjusted. Both groups were given sufentanil 100 HQ/kg (diluted with 100 mL normal saline) and a single addition of morphine 50 mg (diluted with 100 mL normal saline) for self-controlled analgesia
after operation. The postoperative time to first water intake, the time to first discharge from bed, hospital stay and satisfaction degree of labor pain were compared between the two groups. The numerical pain score (NRS) and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores of rest and movement at different
time after operation were compared. The dosage of sufentanil and morphine in perioperative period and the occurrence of postoperative adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results The time to first water intake, the time to first discharge from bed and hospital stay in the
observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (P < 0.05), and the satisfaction score of analgesia in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The NRS score of observation group at TO, 1, 2, 3 and 4 after
operation was significantly lower than that of control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in VAS score of rest and movement at 4 and 8 h after operation between the two groups (P > 0.05); the VAS score of rest and movement at 12 and 24 h after operation in observation
group was significantly lower than that in control group (P < 0.05). The amount of sufentanil and morphine used in the perioperative period in the observation group was significantly less than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The total incidence rate of adverse reactions in observation
group was not significantly different from that in control group (P > 0.05). Conclusion Both anterior and posterior QLB can provide analgesia after cesarean section, but posterior QLB can better relieve the postoperative pain of parturients, which is worth popularizing in clinic.

: Viral warts are common dermatological diseases with wide range of treatment modalities. Utilization of various vaccines and skin test antigens has broadened the horizon of available immunotherapeutic agents for the treatment of warts. In this study, we compared efficacy and safety of intradermal and intralesional purified protein derivative (PPD) for treating common warts in children.

Toevaluate efficacy and safety of intradermal and intralesional PPD in treatment of common warts in children.

: 180 children (aged 5-15 years) with common warts were randomly divided to receive intradermal (n=90) PPD 10 TU/0.1 ml at middle third of right forearm or intralesional PPD (n=90) 0.1 ml in the largest wart once in 2-weeks till there is complete clearance or maximum of five injections whichever is earlier. Patients were followed at 4 week after last injection for assessment of response, adverse effects, and recurrence of common warts.

: Complete, partial clearance and no response in 51.2%, 45.3% and 2.3% children was observed in intradermal group as compared to 54.2%, 42.5% and 1.1% response in intralesional group respectively. Recurrence of warts was observed in 1.2% and 2.2% children in intradermal and intralesional group respectively. Pain was the most common adverse effect in both groups followed by erythema lasting for 2-3 days not warranting for discontinuation of treatment in any patient.

: Overall 96.5% and 96.7% patients in both intradermal and intralesional group responded to treatment respectively. We conclude that immunotherapy with PPD appears safe, effective, and acceptable treatment modality for common warts in children. Although intralesional group showed slightly higher efficacy for warts (0.2%), intradermal PPD has advantage of less pain, high patient satisfaction, less spillage of injection material onto surroundings and better compliance over intralesional group and hence can be considered as valuable first line treatment in children in resource poor developing countries.
The clinical type and etiological agents of superficial dermatophytosis: A cross sectional study
Authors: Agrahari Sushmita , Shivam  , Goel Shitij , Maddali Gopi Krishna
Published: December 2021

Dermatophytosis are fungal infections caused by three genera of fungi that have the unique ability to invade and multiply within keratinized tissue (hair, skin, and nails). Although dermatomycoses are globally distributed, the endemic and most prevalent species of dermatophytosis differ strikingly from one geographic locality to another. Changing trend has been noticed in last few years with dermatophytic infections presenting as chronic, treatment unresponsive and recurrent. Also various microscopic and fungal culture studies have shown shift in identification of causative fungal species in recent years. Numerous studies have been done on the occurrence of dermatophytes in various parts of our country illustrating the range and changing pattern of fungal infection as well as causative fungal species.

Total number of 150 patients attending outpatient department of our hospital who were clinically diagnosed as having superficial dermatophytosis were enrolled into the study. Patients were carefully screened as per inclusion and exclusion criteria and then enrolled in the study. Samples were taken from all the patients and examined for KOH direct microscopy and sent for fungal culture on Sabouraud’s Dextrose Agar as well as on Dermtophyte Test Medium. Results were then analyzed using standard statistical methods.

Out of total 150 patients, 101 were males and 49 were females. Most common age group was 21-30 years (37.3%). 58 patients (38.7%) showed positivity to KOH microscopy as well as fungal culture. Additionally 25 more samples demonstrated positivity to KOH microscopy (total 83 patients) but negativity to culture, while 9 patient samples were positive to culture but negative to direct microscopy. Predominant fungal species isolated on culture was Trichophyton mentagrophytes (50.7%) while next common species isolated was T. tonsurans (29.9%). No significant association was found between dermatophyte isolate on culture and clinical type. Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton tonsurans were the most common species isolated among subjects with Tinea faciei, Tinea cruris and Tinea corporis.

The study showed a male preponderance and T. corporis was the commonest clinical type found. Majority of patients were in the 3rd decade and came within a duration of 1 month to 6 months of getting an infection. In patients diagnosed with tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea pedis and tinea manuum, T. mentagrophytes was the most predominant species isolated.
Del lado encantado de la modernidad: mesianismo y ocultismo en las novelas expresionistas de Gustav Meyrink
Authors: Domínguez Márquez Guadalupe Antonia
Published: December 2021

This article analyses the work of the Austrian novelist Gustav Meyrink (1868-1932), who, between the years 1913 and 1927, published five fantastic novels in which several elements of late Twentieth Century Occultism prevail, in contrast to the historical context in which they were written, compelled by positivist scientism. From these esoteric and expressionist texts, we can build insight into a reading of modernity influenced by theosophy and eastern religions, as well as other spiritual currents, which show the multiple complexities of modernity.
Vivir endeudado. Las narcolepsias de Wasabi de Alan Pauls
Authors:   Universidad de Rosario, Instituto de Estudios Críticos en Humanidades, Argentina, Rodríguez Montiel Emiliano
Published: December 2021

The aim of this paper is to explore and to analyze the set of formal elements that makes up the time of Wasabi by Alan Pauls. The topic of debt is here understood as our starting point. There are three debts: one extratextual and two purely economic (contracted within fiction). Our hypothesis is that the three debts, linked together, are not only paid fictionally with the child born at the end of the text (analogy between art and life); nor only with the monstrosity of the cyst (link between body and writing), but with time. Narcolepsies, those chronic sleep disorders are, well looked at, temporary coins through which fiction collects the debt that the writer contracts with it.

Kutatásunkban három kezeléstípus hatását vizsgáltuk kiskunsági homoki gyepek felhagyott szántókon történő helyreállításában, 16 évvel a beavatkozások megkezdése után. Elemeztük a kezelések edényes növények fajgazdagságára, borítására, valamint a honos célfajok és az özönnövények relatív borítására gyakorolt hatását. A kezelések két különböző korú felhagyott szántón folytak 2002 és 2008 között. A két terület táji környezetének élőhely-összetételét és inváziós fertőzöttségét is összevetettük. Hosszú távú eredményeink alapján a magvetés bizonyult a leghatásosabb módszernek a homoki gyepek helyreállításában. A kaszálást és a szénforrás-adagolást a vetést kiegészítő beavatkozásokként javasoljuk. Az elemzett mutatók többsége helyspecifikus fejlődést mutatott, ami összefügghet a felhagyott szántók korával és táji adottságaival. Eredményeink alapján a homoki gyepek helyreállítása felhagyott szántókon kisebb magbeviteli egységekkel is megvalósítható.

A biodiverzitás pusztulásának visszafordítása érdekében a természeti tőke növelésére van szükség. Ennek módját az EU Biodiverzitás Stratégiája a zöldinfrastruktúra fejlesztésében látja. Az országos  zöldinfrastruktúra-elemek meghatározása és állapotuk értékelése, valamint a fejlesztési javaslatok kidolgozása három pilléren alapul: az ökológiai állapot, az ökoszisztéma-szolgáltatást nyújtó képesség és a térbeli összekapcsoltság értékelésén. Az itt ismertetett, egy KEHOP projekt keretében végzett kutatás során egységes értékelés készült a térképezett ökoszisztéma-típusokra, ami alapján meghatározták a védelemre, potenciális állapotjavításra vagy ökoszisztématípus-váltásra alkalmas területeket. A potenciális beavatkozási területek - a restauráció célterületei, az ország 88%-a - tovább priorizálhatók a különböző konfliktusterületek lehatárolásával. A restauráció során kialakítandó célélőhelyek meghatározása modellezéssel történt. Az eredmények a természetvédelemben és a területhasználatot befolyásoló ágazati döntéshozásban alkalmazhatóak.

A földikutyák talajlakó életmódja védelmet jelent számukra a legtöbb ragadozóval szemben, és a kedvezőtlen időjárási hatások is kevésbé hatnak így rájuk. Azonban a rendszeres terepi munkának köszönhetően hazánkból is mind több adat válik ismertté arról, hogy e különös rágcsálók felszíni tevékenységet is folytatnak. A szakirodalomban számos magyarázat található a felszíni előfordulással kapcsolatban. A járatrendszert elhagyó példányok számtalan veszélynek vannak kitéve, például könnyen zsákmányául eshetnek a felszíni ragadozóknak. Jelen munkánkban bemutatjuk a felszínen talált földikutyákról az elmúlt három évtizedből rendelkezésre álló Kárpátmedencei adatokat. Ezek szerint leggyakrabban nyár elején találkozhatunk földikutyákkal a felszínen, jellemzően fiatal példányokkal. Mivel Magyarországon a földikutyák veszélyeztetett fajok, már egyetlen egyed pusztulása is pótolhatatlan veszteség lehet. Ugyanakkor a felszínre tévedt példányok összegyűjtésével alkalmas, védett területeken újabb állományok létrehozására nyílhat lehetőség. A veszélyek és lehetőségek megvitatásával ajánlásokat fogalmazunk meg a felszínen talált példányok kezelésére, melyek hozzájárulhatnak e fokozottan védett rágcsálók hatékonyabb védelméhez.

Schedule optimization is a proven strategy to improve service quality for public transport networks. However, current research mostly optimizes schedule design using prior knowledge of users’ routings, ignoring the optimization of public transport schedules on duplicating stretches of route vehicles. This article presents a new alignment technique of time intervals between consecutive vehicles of different routes on duplicating stretches, considering existing public transport networks in attaining optimization of public transport schedule. Scheduling technique of route vehicles on duplicating stretches includes some steps: analysis of public transport network and determining a lot of duplicating stretches, calculation of the optimal time intervals among arrivals of route vehicles and alignment of these intervals among consecutive route vehicles on duplicating stretches, realization simulation model of urban passenger transport within the simulation modeling system of GPSS World. Furthermore, testing the optimization technique of route vehicle scheduling, analysis of the quality of adjusted schedule with route vehicles of different kinds included, and determining the optimization efficiency for duplicating stretches. The adjusting technique of urban passenger transport schedule allows to increase movement steadiness of consecutive vehicles of different routes on duplicating stretches, adjust traffic intervals for each route, shorten the traffic load on stations, reducing idle time and queue lengths of route vehicles in front of transport stops and also minimize waiting time for route vehicle by those passengers who can be transported along several routes. Improving the bus schedule on duplicating stretches in Gomel is illustrated demonstrating the technique developed. This scheduling technique can be used by carriers and transport operators to improve the quality of services provided.

Published: December 2021

Estimation of critical gaps and follow-up times between vehicles at uncontrolled intersections is an essential step in estimating the capacity of these objects and assessment of traffic conditions. Therefore, measurements of these parameters should be properly prepared and implemented. This paper presents issues related to the performance of field tests at median uncontrolled T-intersection. Measurements included both critical gaps and follow-up times. Based on the collected material, the authors identified problems occurring during traffic observation. Analyzed intersections were located both within and outside built-up areas. Furthermore, this article discusses the influence of selected factors on the accuracy of estimating the critical gaps and follow-up times and formulates the principles of conducting traffic measurements at selected types of intersections.

Published: December 2021

Surat is one of the major textile manufacturing hubs in India, having 40% of the synthetic fabric produced in the country. The textile industry in the city has witnessed tremendous growth in the last decade, leading to many transportation-related changes within it. Textile manufacturing has different phases like weaving, processing, value addition and trading or distribution. These phases are located as clusters or pockets in different parts of the city. The scattered nature of the industry generates numerous freight trips. This study focuses on characterizing and estimating textile freight trips in the city. Establishment survey data was collected from production units located in various clusters. A multi-linear regression model for freight trips generated using the quantity of cloth produced was developed for the estimation of the total textile freight trips. Thus, this study will help the planner identify the strategic location of the textile and its allied industries as well as for freight infrastructure in the city. More so, it would help in understanding the impacts of textile freight movement on the city’s overall traffic.

Objective. To study the specificity of physical development of children, who live in the extreme weather conditions of the North. Materials and methods. We examined schoolchildren belonging to the non-indigenous population of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area. The study included 1424 schoolchildren (751 boys and 673 girls) aged 7 to 16 years living in the gas-andoil producing districts of the area for not less than 3 years. In the course of the study, after measurements of the body height and weight of children in each age-gender group, the arithmetic mean and its standard error were calculated for both somatometric parameters. We performed a comparative analysis of the parameters and the standard reference values of the «WHO Growth Reference 2007» and the results of examination of children belonging to the indigenous population indicated in the literature. Discussion. We have found that during the period of intensive growth, the body height of representatives of the nonindigenous population is higher than that of their same-age peers from the indigenous population. But the definitive indicators of body height have no statistically significant difference. Conclusions. The body height values of the examined children do not significantly differ from the WHO standards, therefore, the «WHO Growth Reference 2007» and the «WHO Anthro» anthropometric calculator can be used in regular medical checkups of schoolchildren. The values of schoolchildren’s body weight are higher than the WHO standards, which necessitates a deeper analysis of the nutrition and physical activity of children.

The review presents new data about the causes and molecular mechanisms of iron metabolism in obesity. Obesity is associated with dysregulated iron metabolism. Three hypotheses of the hypoferremia of obesity have been proposed: nutrition hypothesis, large blood volume hypothesis, and the inflammation hypothesis. The latter has been better supported, it is consistent with the data about low-grade inflammation taking place in excessive accumulation of adipose tissue. The key role in the development of functional hypoferremia belongs to the hepcidin-leptin association. Key words: children, iron deficiency anaemia, iron metabolism, obesity, adolescents
