Species Relationship and Population Differentiation In Stellaria L. (Caryophyllaceae) Of Iran Using Scot Molecular Marker and Morphological Data
Authors: Li Jialing , Yang Xin , Hajrasouliha Shadi
Published: December 2021

Recognition of species is essential in a variety of domains, most remarkably biology, biogeography, ecology, as well as conservation. The genus Stellaria L. (Caryophyllaceae) has over 120 species spread across Europe and Asia's temperate zones. According to the most remarkable current treatments, nine species recognize Stellaria in Iran. These species are categorized into two types. Despite the broad distribution of several Stellaria species in Iran, no research on their genetic variability, method of divergence, or dispersion trends is accessible. As a result, we conducted genetic and morphological research on six Stellaria species and two of their closest relatives gathered from various habitats in Iran. This research aims to 1) Can SCoT markers be utilized to recognize Stellaria species? 2) What are the genetic characteristics of the mentioned taxa in Iran? and 3) To examine the interrelation of the species. In this research, ten SCoT markers were employed for molecular analysis, and 112 accessions were utilized for morphological study. The genetic distances were calculated using the Jaccard similarity coefficient, and descriptive data on the populations were used to estimate genetic parameters. There were 98 polymorphic bands all over. The integration of morphological and SCoT data demonstrated that the Stellaria species of Iran could be delimited and recognized. The Stellaria species are genetically unique; however, they share some similar alleles, according to AMOVA and STRUCTURE analyses.

Authors: Uddin Mohammad Zashim , Rifat Atiya Begum , Mitu Farhana Yesmin , Haque Tahmina , Mazid Md Abdul
Published: December 2021

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the major causes of death in the world. Medicinal plants with thrombolytic properties may be used as an alternative to modern medicines for CVDs. The present study was aimed to evaluate the thrombolytic potential of six medicinal plants available in Bangladesh using an in vitro clot lysis method where streptokinase and ethanol were used as a positive and negative control, respectively. Ethanolic extract at a dose of 10 mg/ml of Arjun tree (Terminalia arjuna), Garlic (Allium sativum), Elephant apple (Dillenia indica), Amla (Phyllanthus emblica), Yellow mombin (Spondias pinnata) and Burmese grape (Baccaurea ramiflora) showed 14.18 ± 1.23%, 10.72 ± 0.78%, 8.25 ± 0.42%, 7.08 ± 0.64%, 5.42 ± 0.47% and 2.47 ± 0.19% clot lysis, respectively, whereas the standard drug streptokinase lysed 41.11±0.31% clot at a dose of 30,000 IU. From the data, it is evident that ethanolic extracts of six selected medicinal plants possess a moderate to insignificant thrombolytic activities. Among these plants, Arjun tree and Garlic exhibited the highest thrombolytic activity and the Burmese grape showed the lowest thrombolytic activity. Through our study, it could be concluded that Arjun tree, Garlic, and Elephant apple might be used as traditional healing purposes of CVDs. However, further animal studies will prove the scientific justification of their uses. Conservation efforts should be given for Arjun tree, Elephant apple, Yellow mombin, Burmese grape, and Amla to save these plants from extinction in nature.

Cyanobacterial Diversity and Physicochemical Characteristics of Thermal Springs in The Kütahya Province of Turkey
Authors: ÖZtürk Sevi̇lay
Published: December 2021

Thermal springs are very difficult environments for organisms due to the high temperature, and physicochemical parameters. Cyanobacteria, which are photosynthetic prokaryotes, are best adapted to these environments. Kütahya is an important thermal area in Turkey. The aim of the study was to determine the cyanobacterial flora with a morphologic and ecologic approach in the 11 thermal. The physicochemical properties of the thermal springs in Kütahya province were measured. The thermal springs are alkaline (pH6) with an average temperature of 52°C. As a result, 54 cyanobacteria taxa were identified. Oscillatoriales were the predominant order in terms of taxa diversity (24 taxa) and biomass size. Statistical analyses were conducted to reveal the physicochemical properties of the thermal springs and the distribution of cyanobacteria in detail. According to these analyses, the thermal springs were classified into two main groups with a Piper. As a result of the RDA analysis under CANOCO 5.0, the total variation was 55.45455, and the first two axes explained a total of 57.43% of the variance. There was a significant difference (P0.001) in the comparison of the physicochemical parameters including pH, EC, TDS, and temperature values of the thermal springs in the Kruskal Wallis tests.

Vegetative and Leaf Anatomical Traits for Taxonomic Delimitation of Salacia L. In Sri Lanka
Authors: Senevirathne WINS , Hettiarachchi PI , Yakandawala DMD
Published: December 2021

Salacia comprises 200 species throughout the tropical countries. In Sri Lanka, five species of this genus S. chinensis, S. diandra, S. oblonga, S. reticulata and S. acuminatissima are recorded that are considered as the synonyms under S. diandra by Wadhwa in 1996 during the revision of genus. These species are very much similar in vegetative morphology and their flowering is irregular and rare. Due to these reasons, their proper identification and determination are difficult and identification of new combinations of taxonomic characters is necessary. A multivariate analysis was conducted for 98 distinct populations using 20 vegetative and 43 leaf anatomical characters including PCA, PCO, CA, SIMPER and correlation analysis. The results support the recognition of four phenetic groups, which corresponds to species S. chinensis, S. reticulata, S. oblonga and S. diandra. S. acuminatissima that was recognized by Kostermans (1992) was not supported by the analysis and formed a cluster together with S. diandra with no support as a separate cluster. The study failed to recognize any distinct vegetative characters to define these taxa but propose a combination of vegetative or leaf anatomical characters and also highlights the necessity of molecular data to supplement the vegetative and leaf anatomical data to resolve the ambiguity between the S. acuminatissima and S. diandra.

Authors: Chanda Sontosh C , Mia Md Ashik , Sagar Ashaduzzaman , Golam Sarwar AKM
Published: December 2021

Stem anatomical features of four Sesbania Scop. species viz. S. bispinosa (Jacq.) W. Wight, S. cannabina (Retz.) Poir., S. sesban (L.) Merr., and S. rostrata Bremek. & Oberm., were examined to add some insights for identification of these species using quantitative anatomical descriptors. Sesbania stem is composed of epidermis, cortex, vascular tissues – phloem, cambium zone and xylem, and pith, which exhibit significant variations among the species in terms of their area and thickness. Sesbania sesban showed the largest area and widest epidermal cells. The close relationship between S. bispinosa and S. rostrata was found in the stem anatomical descriptors. Moreover, S. rostrata and S. cannabina were closer to some extent according to some anatomical descriptors; also rationalizing the external morphological similarities of these species. A dichotomous key of the studied Sesbania species was made. Dendrograms based on Agglomerative Hierarchical Cluster analysis of stem anatomical descriptors also confirmed close relationships identified in previous phylogenetic analyses.

All four dengue virus serotypes co-circulate in concurrent dengue infections in a single dengue session in Chittagong, Bangladesh
Authors: Roy Moushumi Ghosh , Uddin Kutub , Islam Din , Singh Anjuvan , Islam Mohammad Monirul
Published: December 2021

Purposes: Dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral disease, is a global public health burden affecting millions of people each year and over 40% of world populations are at risk of dengue. Therefore, prompt and accurate dengue diagnosis is inevitable for disease surveillance and for aiding disease management. In this study we report dengue virus (DENV) seroprevalence in Chittagong, Bangladesh along with clinical manifestation of dengue infections.
Methods: All samples included in this study were selected based on dengue NS1-based diagnosis, clinical sign and symptoms were judged by expert clinical physicians and infecting DENV serotyping was done by RT-PCR. The blood cells (Platelet, Haematocrit, WBC etc) were analyzed using Haematology cell counter.
Results: First, among the 112 DENV infected serum samples tested by RT-PCR, 42 were DENV positive where 76% samples had single DENV serotype infection and 24% were concurrently infected with two or more DENV serotypes, indicating that all four DENVs were present in a single dengue session in Chittagong, Bangladesh. Then, DENV4 was the most prevailed serotype, followed by DENV2, DENV1 and DENV3 in single DENV serotype infections. However, in almost 90% cases of concurrent multiple DENV infections DENV1 serotype was present. A detail analysis of clinical data clearly indicated that DENV1 and DENV2 resulted very similar patterns of clinical symptoms which were quite different from those caused by DENV3 and DENV4. For example, ache and pain were absent in DENV3 infection and diarrhea was absent in DENV4 infections. Furthermore, DENV3, both in single and concurrent multiple DENV infections, might increase dengue disease severity as observed highly reduced platelet counts along with increased WBC in patients infected with DENV3 serotype.
Conclusion: All four DENV serotypes, both as single and concurrent multiple DENV infections, were present in single dengue session in Bangladesh. Despite having very similar sequences and structures all four DENVs might produce different disease spectra, ranging from classical dengue fever to dengue hemorrhagic fever. Concurrent multiple DENV infections could contribute increased dengue disease severity in dengue outbreaks in Bangladesh.

Authors: Musharrat Fariha , Akheruzzaman Md , Khanam Jyosna , Amin Md Ruhul
Published: December 2021

Intermittent fasting (IF) has two broad types: wet (with water) and dry (without water) fasting. Studies suggest that both are effective for reducing weight and for promoting overall metabolic well-being; however, their relative efficacy is not yet established. The study was a 9-day cross-over clinical trial with the purpose to compare the effectiveness of wet and dry fasting. Adult overweight women (n = 18) from Dhaka, Bangladesh were recruited as subjects of this study. It included 3 days of wet IF and 3 days of dry IF (14 h fasting and 50% calorie restriction), with a 3-day washout period (ad libitum intake) in between. Both types of IF resulted in significant weight loss. The loss was significantly higher after 3 days of dry IF (−0.23 ± 0.02 kg; P < 0.05). Waist circumference and BMI were significantly reduced in both interventions (P <0.05) and diastolic pressure changed significantly after dry fasting (P <0.05). None of the biochemical parameters (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, LDL-C, atherogenic coefficient, and fasting plasma glucose) changed significantly within or between interventions. The intervention compliance percentage was high for both, with no significant difference. The study findings suggest that both wet and dry IF were effective for weight loss but dry IF was more effective. The biochemical parameters did not change significantly in short term and so longer trials are needed. [Trial registration number: UMIN000041481]

Luce t & Costantin, Syncephalastrum racemosum Cohn and Trichoderma viride Pers. were found to be associated with the seeds of 14 varieties viz. CB-1 to CB-14 of cotton. Seed quality analysis showed that percentage of pure seeds, germination, moisture, seedling mortality and associated fungi with different varieties of cotton seeds varies from 97.08-99.92%, 80-93%, 10-11.3%, 16.05-50.30% and 24-78.0% respectively. Present study deals with estimation of interrelationship between some quality factors through correlation and regression analysis are important for the assessment of seed quality. There were negative correlations between seedling mortality and purity percentage and between germination rate and fungus frequency. On the other hand, positive correlations were found between germination rate and purity percentage, between seedling mortality and fungus frequency, between purity percentage and fungus frequency, between germination rate and seed moisture and between fungus frequency and seed moisture. CB 8 was superior from the other cotton variety as it showed higher physical purity of seed (98.41%), higher seed germination (92%), lower fungal incidence (24%) and lower mortality of seedling (23.91%).

Published: December 2021

Objective: The significance of appropriate infant and young children feeding (IYCF) to ensure proper nutrition for children is well-documented. Although nutrition interventions with agricultural components have the potential, the evidence for this relationship is insufficient. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of an integrated health-based intervention on the dietary pattern and nutritional status of children under two years of age.
Methodology: This study was a pre-post analysis of secondary data of the project titled “Integrated Agriculture and Health-Based Interventions for Improved Food and Nutrition Security in Selected Districts of Southern Bangladesh”, which were collected from Barisal and Khulna district. We used data of 268 children aged 0-23 months from baseline and 554 children from endline which comprised the study population to assess socio-demographic, anthropometric and IYCF indicators. Further, horticulture, cooking and hygiene indices were created to analyze the effectiveness of the project interventions.
Results: A significant reduction of stunting and underweight and insignificant reduction of wasting were observed from baseline to end line. Compared to baseline, the horticulture index, hygiene index and cooking index differ significantly between the baseline and end line surveys. Further, significant improvement of 6 months exclusive breastfeeding and insignificant improvement of continued breastfeeding up to 1 year were found from baseline to end line.
Conclusion: This study shows that integrated agriculture and health-based interventions with nutrition components have a positive impact on stunting and underweight but exert a mixed effect on wasting and IYCF practices.

Published: December 2021

In Bangladesh Henna is one of the most popular cosmetic products. The leaves of Henna are dried to make powder on which oil or water is mixed to get a paste to stain the body or hair. Although the occurance of contact allergic dermatitis in natural Henna is not so common, but this risk is increased by adding para-Phenylenediamine (PPD), which is used to make the Henna color dark to deep black. According to Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCP), para-Phenylenediamine (PPD) is treated as an allergen and is considered as a very strong potential skin sensitizer. The presence of PPD in the commercially used tube Henna increases the risk of allergic contact dermatitis and several cases have already been reported worldwide. For this study, about 10 Henna samples were randomly collected from 10 selected areas of Dhaka city. The presence of PPD in Henna samples was determined by using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The result showed the presence of PPD in all of the Henna samples at substantial concentrations, ranging between 79.12-204.77 mg/kg where the average range is 142.36 mg/kg, which is much higher than the permissible levels (<2% or 0.1 mg/m3). The finding suggests that there should be a regulation and monitoring condition for the production and distribution of these adulterated Henna products in Bangladesh.

Diterima: 28 Januari 2021Direvisi: 26 Oktober Diterimauntuk diterbitkan: 27 Oktober 2021 Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan (KTSP) menuntut peran guru dalam proses pembelajaran agar siswa memiliki pengalaman belajar yang bermakna. Siswa kelas 8I SMPN 1 Dolopo motivasi dan hasil belajar masih rendah, hal ini terbukti dari hasil ulangan siswa yang mendapat nilai di bawah KKM mencapai di bawah 50%. Guru berupaya meningkatkan motivasi dan hasil belajar siswa dengan menggunakan model pembelajaran STAD (Student Team Achievement Division) dengan tahapan penyajian materi, diskusi kelompok, diskusi kelas, tahap kuis, dan pemberian penghargaan. Subjek penelitian adalah siswa kelas 8I SMPN 1 Dolopo Madiun dengan jumlah siswa 32 siswa, terdiri dari empat belas siswa laki-laki dan delapan belas siswa perempuan. Penelitian terdiri dari 2 siklus, masing-masing mengukur motivasi dan prestasi belajar dengan menggunakan lembar motivasi dan hasil belajar. Berdasarkan tindakan siklus I dan II diperoleh hasil, yaitu motivasi belajar siswa yang terdiri atas: frekuensi pertanyaan yang diajukan siswa, perhatian siswa, kerjasama siswa dalam kelompok, dan peningkatan sumber belajar yang dimanfaatkan siswa pada siklus I mempunyai rata-rata 58,18% meningkat menjadi 69,59% dan siklus II untuk motivasi siswa meningkat sebesar 11,41%. Persentase ketuntasan klasikal menunjukkan prestasi belajar siswa meningkat dari 66,67% di siklus I menjadi 88,89% di siklus II atau meningkat sebesar 22,22%. Hal ini karena siswa telah mengikuti model pembelajaran STAD dengan skenario: (1) menyajikan materi, (2) diskusi kelompok, (3) diskusi kelas, (4) kuis, dan (5) memberikan penghargaan.

Published: December 2021

Farklı araştırma grupları, küçük çocukların amaç bakımından doğal olaylar hakkında akıl yürütmeye yönelik engin bir eğilime sahip olduklarını ve doğal varlıkların kökenlerini bilinç-bazlı açıklama usulüne doğru bir yönelime sahip olduklarını göstermektedir. Bu makale, bilişsel-gelişim araştırmalarının çeşitli alanlarından elde edilen son bulguları bir araya getirerek, aşağıdaki soruyu ele almak için, bu sonuçları daha da derinlemesine incelemektedir. Çocuklar, Piaget’çi terimlerle ‘yapaycı’ olmaktan ziyade, doğal olayları insan dışı bir tasarımın eseri olarak düşünme eğiliminde midirle-r? Çocukların etken algısı, hayali arkadaşlar ve eşyayı kavrama algıları üzerine yapılan bir araştırma incelemesi, onların bu kavramlara getirdikleri tanımların yaklaşık 5 yaşına geldiklerinde açıklayıcı bir değeri ve pratiğe uyumluluğunun olabileceğini ortaya koymaktadır.
KIBRIS BARIŞ HAREKÂTI ÖNCESİNDE TÜRK DONANMA FİLOSUNUN MODERNLEŞTİRİLMESİ (1968-1974)
Authors: SERTEL Savaş
Published: December 2021

Kıbrıs meselesi 1954 yılından sonra Türkiye ile Yunanistan arasında Akdeniz’de büyük bir çekişmeyi doğurmuştur. Ortaya çıkan gerginlik sonucu iki ülke de silahlanmaya başlamıştır. Bu durum başta ABD olmak üzere NATO üyesi ülkeleri tedirgin etmiştir. İki NATO üyesi ülkenin Kıbrıs için çatışması veya savaşması ABD ve NATO için prestij kaybı yaratacağından hareketle ABD bu meseleyi soğutmaya çalışmıştır. SSCB’nin Akdeniz’deki bu gerginlikten istifade etmesini istemeyen ABD 6. Filosunu bölgede görevlendirmiştir. Ancak Kıbrıs Rumlarının Türklere katliam yapması üzerine Türkiye 1960’lı yıllarda Kıbrıs’a çıkarma yapmak için hazırlıklara başlamıştır. Gerek 1964 yılında ABD başkanın Johnson’un yazdığı mektup gerekse 1960’lı yıllarda donanmada yeterince çıkarma gemisi olmaması Türkiye’nin adaya yapacağı çıkarmayı geciktirmiştir. Türk donanması 1960’lı yıllardan itibaren filosundaki gemileri yenilemek ve geliştirmek için tersanelerinde imkân ve kabiliyetleri ölçüsünde gemiler üretmeye çalışmıştır. Bu amaçla Türkiye 1968–1972 dönemini kapsayan ikinci beş yıllık gemi inşa programında savaş gemisi yapımına ağırlık vermiştir. İmkân ve kabiliyetlerinin üretimine el vermediği savaş gemilerini ise başta ABD olmak üzere NATO üyesi gelişmiş ülkelerden almıştır. Türkiye’nin 1968-1974 yılları arasında ABD’den aldığı gemilerin büyük bir kısmı 1940’lı yıllarda üretilmiştir. Türkiye satın aldığı eski teknoloji gemiler için ABD tersanelerinde tadilatlar yaptırarak modernizasyondan sonra donanmasına dahil etmiştir. Türkiye donanmada kullanacağı küçük çaplı hücumbot gemilerini ise Almanya’dan almıştır. Almanya’dan alınan hücum botlar Alman donanmasından değil Alman gemi firmalarından alınmıştır. Bu hücumbotlar 1-2 yıllık yeni teknelerdir. Kıbrıs Barış Harekâtı için ordusunu güçlendirmek isteyen Türkiye 1968 ve 1974 yılları arasında donanma gemi filosunu zenginleştirmek için pek çok gemi satın almıştır. Ancak harekattan sonra uygulanan askeri ambargo silah ve mühimmat konusunda sıkıntı yaşanmasına yol açmıştır. Bunun soncu olarak Türk savunma sanayi yerli üretim silah ve mühimmat oranını giderek artırmıştır.
Fibromyalgia: transformation of views
Authors: Filatova E. G. , Melikova N. A.
Published: December 2021

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a mystery of modern rheumatology. Despite the high prevalence of FM according to special epidemiological studies, clinicians make this diagnosis rarely. The modern concept of fibromyalgia was created by Smythe and Moldofsky in the mid-70s. They introduced a new term «fibromyalgia», thereby emphasizing that this condition is more due to pain syndrome than inflammation of connective tissue. A disturbance of sensory information processing in the central nervous system (dysfunction of the pain system with the formation of central sensitization, CS) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of FM. Clinical manifestations of FM include chronic widespread pain associated with a wide range of psychosomatic disorders (sleep disorders, cognitive disorders [fibro fog], anxiety, depression, fatigue, morning stiffness, etc.). The diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia have undergone significant changes. The latest FM diagnostic criteria were developed by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) in 2016. According to the ACR (2016) FM criteria, a diagnosis of FM does not exclude the presence of other clinically important illnesses. Concomitant FM among patients with rheumatic diseases (RD) occurs 2–3 times more often than in the general population. Diagnostics and treatment of FM are extremely difficult for clinicians, it is especially difficult with comorbidity of FM with RD. Therefore, FM requires a multidisciplinary approach within a biopsychosocial model of pain syndrome: the treatment of a patient with RD and FM should combine anti-inflammatory therapy with a complex of methods (medications and nondrug therapy) used for FM therapy. The diagnostics of comorbid FM in patients with RD will allow for personalized and more effective analgesic therapy.
Central adverse drug reactions of NSAIDs

Published: December 2021

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is a group of drugs used for analgesia, antinflammatory, antipyretical properties, and antiplatelet effects. NSAIDs are widely used in the treatment of osteoarthritis, musculoskeletal pain, gout and other pathological conditions, however, their use is associated with the risk of developing adverse drug reactions, including serious and fatal ones, for example, gastrointestinal bleeding, or myocardial infarction and stroke. Many NSAIDs can also cross the blood-brain barrier and cause central adverse drug reactions that can be mistaken by practical health care professionals for the manifestation of a new pathologies or insufficient effectiveness of treatment of an existing disease, but not with the use of NSAIDs, that may lead to errors in treatment tactics, additional prescription of drugs and an increased risk of complications. The purpose of this article is to inform practical health care professionals about the potential risks of central adverse drug reactions (including psychiatric ones) of NSAIDs, and thus, to increase the effectiveness and safety of therapy.
