Management challenges of sinonasal alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma in infanthood: case report and literature review
Authors: Ayodele Samuel Oluyomi , Mohammed Bashir , Shuaib Adam
Published: November 2022

Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (aRMS) is an aggressive soft tissue malignant neoplasm. It’s not known to occur often in the sinonasal region of an infant when compared with other histological types. And due to its aggressive nature in deep-seated locations, it’s often difficult to manage efficiently, thus associated with worse prognosis. In this article, a rare case of an infant with right sided sinonasal aRMS was reported. Eight month old child with two month history of right sided nasal blockage, watery discharge and a growth in the right nose. There was no epistaxis, palatal or neck swelling. On examination, a polypoid mass was completely occupying the right nasal cavity. There were no palpable cervical lymph nodes. Diagnosis of allergic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis was made. The mass progressed with associated ipsilateral cheek swelling extending to the nasal bridge. A greyish white, friable mass was biopsied and was diagnosed histologically as aRMS. The child had a debulking surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. She later developed tumour lysis syndrome and died. Management of infanthood sinonasal aRMS is challenging especially in low socioeconomic region like ours. A multi-disciplinary approach with intensified multimodality therapy is crucial to improving the management outcomes and quality of life. In all, it is advisable to take closer look at any swelling in the paediatric age group by carefully evaluating it with high degree of suspicion, early diagnosis and individualized treatment.

 
Cartilage palisades versus temporalis fascia: a randomised control trial
Authors: Sarin Vanita , Shahi Arpita Chatterjee
Published: November 2022

Background: Tympanic membrane perforation is a common cause of hearing loss. Various surgical techniques with different graft materials have been described for the treatment of perforations. The most widely used graft materials are the cartilage and temporalis fascia.

Methods: We conducted a prospective randomised control longitudinal study to document the post operative hearing outcomes of type 1 tympanoplasty in patients with inactive mucosal chronic otitis media (n=120) using the cartilage palisades tympanoplasty technique (n=60) and temporalis fascia (n=60).

Results: It was found that the mean AB (air-bone) gap at 5 months post operatively was 12.35±7.17 dB with temporalis fascia and 11.39±7.907 dB in cartilage palisades tympanoplasty. At 12 months the AB gap was 14.98±9.915 dB in temporalis fascia group as compared 11.41±8.288 dB for cartilage palisades group. Thus, hearing improvement was better in cartilage palisades group, but interestingly the comparison of the air conduction gain and subjective improvement at the end of 5 and 12 months between the two techniques was not statistically significant and parallels the above findings.

Conclusions: Hence we conclude that both temporalis fascia and cartilage palisades were acceptable graft material for successful closure of tympanic membrane perforation.

Published: November 2022

Background: Larynx of chronic smokers was clinically evaluated under high powered magnification as well as on histopathology to study the effect of fumes of nicotine on the vocal cords.

Methods: 32 chronic smokers undergoing Lewis suspension micro laryngeal surgery were selected from the laryngology clinics of Dayanand Medical College and Hospital, Ludhiana. Intraoperative findings were recorded and the specimens were sent for histopathological examination. The study was undertaken in a period of one and a half years (June 2009-December 2010).  

Results: Maximum patients 31% (10 patients) underwent microlaryngeal surgery were smokers in the middle age group (40-50 years) and minimum 9.3% (3 patients) were above 60 years of age. Vocal polyp/polypoidal change was seen in 7 (21.87%) patients was the predominant finding followed by a chronic hypertrophic change 5 (15.62%) patients.  leucoplakia 4 (12.5%) cases, tubercular caseation 3 (9.3%), vocal nodules 4 (12.5%) and vocal cysts 1 (3.125%) were the other findings in our series.

Conclusions: Nicotine fumes affect the epithelium of the vocal cord leading to hypertrophic or hyperplastic transition. Vocal cord polypoidal change, squamous cell carcinoma and chronic hypertrophic laryngitis, in that order were the lesion in our series.

Published: November 2022

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is common in adult and elderly population, however, the incidence among children is still very low worldwide. Due to its rarity and non-specific clinical presentation, the diagnosis in children is often delayed and misinterpreted. The difficulty in reaching the final diagnosis was related to its hidden anatomical location, raising challenges in performing endoscopy and biopsy in children to obtain the precise histopathologic feature. We reported two cases on nasopharyngeal carcinoma in children with two different peculiar complaints. The first patient was 12 years old boy who complained of multiple recurrent unilateral masses on the left neck and history of nosebleeds with an unknown history of the previous histopathology features of the neck masses obtained by complete surgical neck mass removal beforehand. The second patient was 15 years old boy with main complaint of chronic headache, accompanied by doubled vision with apparent family history of malignancy, particularly nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Based on the history of illness, physical examination, imaging, and histopathology, we concluded that both patients were diagnosed with advanced stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma with different types of histopathologic feature.

A Review of Electronic Cigarettes and Liquid Nicotine Poisoning Exposure Cases in the United States
Authors: Ayesha Ahmed
Published: November 2022

Purpose: In 2007, electronic cigarettes (e-cigarette) were introduced as a smoking cessation device. Since then, its sale and marketing has been expanded annually. Concomitantly, there is an increase in the electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) and liquid nicotine exposure cases reported to the United States (US) poison control centers. The purpose of this review is to assess the exposure cases reported to US poison control centers to characterize the adverse health effects of e-cigarette and liquid nicotine use. Methods: The PubMed database was searched for e-cigarette and e-liquid exposure reports since 2010. The qualitative analysis was conducted to depict the characteristics related to the incident cases and health outcomes of e-cigarette and e-liquid exposure to support public awareness. Results: Since 2010, there was an increase in e-cigarette exposure incidents with ingestion, inhalation, ocular and dermal identified as the commonly reported routes of exposure in both children and adults. The clinical symptoms were well characterized based upon the specific route of exposure. The exposure incidents were categorized into age, sex, type of exposure, symptoms, management site and medical outcome. The children less than 5 years of age were unintentionally exposed followed by both unintentional and intentional exposure in adults. The reported medical outcomes have a range from minor effects exhibiting symptoms that were not bothersome to major effects with life-threatening symptoms, and death. The short-term or acute exposure was mostly associated with mishandling or misuse of the e-cigarette device or e-liquid. The case reports of young adult males who are linked to intensive use of e-cigarettes show lung injury. Conclusion: E-liquid and e-cigarette use continue to pose a serious health risk for both adults and children. There is accumulating data of incidents associated with short-term e-cigarette use or intensive use of e-cigarettes. However, monitoring of the long-term health effect of e-cigarettes is needed in order to raise public awareness among young adults.

The research was based on the fact that some students who did not achieve the target of Tahfidz Qur'an at the Sekolah Dasar Islam Terpadu (SDIT) Al-Islam Sine Ngawi, East Java. The purpose of this research is the implementation of Tahfidz Qur'an learning and the students’ problem in not achieving the Tahfidz Qur'an target at SDIT Al-Islam Sine Ngawi. The research implementation uses a qualitative approach with case study research. Informants in this research are students, school principals, and Tahfidz teachers. Observation, interviews, and documentation are used in collecting the data. The results of the research are first, the implementation of Tahfidz Qur'an is carried out every day after the dhuha prayer in the congregation. The implementation of Tahfidz Qur’an starts with several learning activities, they are; pre-activity, while activity and post activity which  refer to lesson plan for the Tahfidz Qur'an subject. The assessment of Tahfidz Qur'an is the quantity of memorization, makrorijul hurf, and the science of recitation (tajwid). Second, the inhibiting factors that affect the inability of students in memorizing the Al-Qur'an are the different qualifications of students for memorizing the Qur'an and lack of the parental role.
Los contratos de colaboración empresarial y sus efectos en los convenios de doble imposición
Authors: Poveda Fabián Jaimes
Published: November 2022

El debate sobre la aplicación de los CDI a las “agrupaciones de personas” se ha acotado con la modificación del artículo 1.º del Instrumento Multilateral y el MCOCDE 2017. La inclusión expresa del Régimen de Transparencia para las “agrupaciones de personas” dejó de reconocer como beneficiarios del CDI a las agrupaciones de personas que no sean contribuyentes del impuesto a la renta y por lo mismo no detentan la calidad de residente fiscal para efectos de la aplicación de los CDI. Por otra parte, los CCE no tienen la capacidad de configuran por sí mismos un establecimiento permanente, sin embargo, los aportes hechos a un CCE por parte de sus asociados sí lo pueden hacer. Para ellos debe revisarse cada caso y establecer si los aportes cumplen los requisitos de configuración del EP de la regla base, el de obra o construcción o el de servicios o representación.
La gestión catastral como mecanismo para aumentar los ingresos de las entidades territoriales por medio del cobro del impuesto predial
Authors: Verástegui Niño Elena Rocío
Published: November 2022

La desactualización catastral en el territorio nacional introdujo la política pública del Catastro Multipropósito, que trajo consigo la descentralización de la función catastral y su consecuente configuración en servicio público, ahora prestado por entidades públicas en calidad de gestores y por particulares en condición de operadores, cuya actuación colaborativa contribuye con la recolección de la información predial en sus componentes jurídicos, físicos y económicos. Este último traducido en la determinación del avalúo catastral como base gravable del impuesto predial unificado y que genera que la actividad de actualización aumente el recaudo tributario de los municipios pese a los límites introducidos para mitigar las alzas en este impuesto y con las consecuencias que dicho aumento trae para el sujeto pasivo.

En consecuencia, el presente trabajo tiene por objeto analizar el marco regulatorio de la descentralización del catastro a partir de la introducción de los nuevos responsables de la prestación del servicio público de la gestión catastral, para lo cual se planteará el procedimiento de habilitación como requisito para ser catalogado como gestor, así como los procesos de formación, actualización, conservación y difusión que debe adelantar el prestador del servicio y a partir de estos establecer las consecuencias que tiene la implementación en el impuesto predial unificado, específicamente mirando sus componentes desde un punto de vista catastral, para finalizar concluyendo cómo la actividad del gestor catastral aumenta el pago de este impuesto.
Apocalypse . . . Eventually: Trans-Corporeality and Slow Horror in M. R. Carey’s The Girl with All the Gifts
Authors: Druzak Courtney A.
Published: November 2022

This article examines M. R. Carey’s 2014 zombie apocalypse novel The Girl with All the Gifts through the ecofeminist concept of trans-corporeality as defined by Stacy Alaimo in Bodily Natures. Carey’s heroine Melanie showcases how humans can re-conceptualize their relationship to a more-than-human, or natural, world that is both exterior to the self and always-already a part of the self through fungal agency. Indeed, the novel continuously engages in intimate human-environment interconnections that, in their horrific capacities, are meant to inspire readers to reflect upon their own enmeshment in a larger, material world. The novel’s use of the real fungus Ophiocordyceps as the more-than-human agent that inspires the transformation of humans into zombies provides a vision for how humans can more ethically relate, in posthuman manners, to a more-than-human world. Finally, this article considers the novel as a depiction of slow horror, or a gradual descent into apocalypse.
Sympoiesis, Autopoiesis and Immunity: How to Coexist with Nonhuman Others?
Authors: Žukauskaitė Audronė
Published: November 2022

In this essay I will discuss Donna J. Haraway’s notion of sympoiesis and examine different modes of cohabitation or hybridization with nonhuman others. Such concepts as sympoiesis, or holobiont, question the notion of the biological individual and also change our understanding of what it means to be human. As Richard Grusin pointed out, “we have never been human” because “the human has always coevolved, coexisted, or collaborated with the nonhuman—and that the human is characterized precisely by this indistinction from the nonhuman” (ix–x). We have never been human because we have always been dependent on other species living within or beyond our bodies. However, the question which still needs to be answered is whether all forms of coexistence are profitable and welcomed. How does one define the limit at which this co-existence is collaborative and productive (“posthuman”), and beyond which it becomes damaging and lethal (in other words, “posthumous,” e.g., coming after life)? For this reason, the interrelations between different life forms should be discussed together with the concepts of contagion and immunity. The notion of immunity expresses an ambivalent character of life: on the one hand, it protects the organism against everything that is beyond its boundary; on the other hand, it helps to collaborate with other organisms and to create an ecosystem. In this sense, immunity can be thought as a field of negotiations between human and nonhuman beings.

Authors: Dharani C. , Maragatham N. , Geethalakshmi V. , Ramanathan S.P. , Kannan Balaji
Published: November 2022

Background: Agriculture is the most sensitive sector to climate variability. In rain-fed ecosystems, rainfall is the single most essential component in crop planning. Crop planning using rainfall variability and probability analysis helps to improve the productivity. Methods: A study was taken for crop planning in Madurai district by analyzing the rainfall variability and probability analysis using 40 years (1982-2021) of weekly, monthly, seasonal and annual rainfall data. Result: The mean annual rainfall in Madurai district was 925.5 mm was spread over 74 rainy days with 24.7 per cent of coefficient of variation thereby the rainfall is dependable over years with decreasing trend. The probability analysis showed that receiving 20 mm rainfall per week was for 12 weeks (32 to 45th week) except 35 and 37th week which is helpful for sowing and planting. On the other hand, highest mean monthly rainfall was received in October (176 mm) followed by September (137.4 mm). Seasonal analysis resulted that Southwest monsoon had high rainfall quantity with mean value of 397.7 mm. Rice is the major crop cultivated in this region should be replaced by maize, green gram, black gram, cowpea, sorghum, ragi and minor millets which can withstand drought conditions with less crop duration.
Association of Seed Amylose Content with Agronomic Traits and GBSS1a Haplotypes in Common Bean Landraces
Authors: Lee Sookyeong , Hyun Do Yoon , Lee Kyung Jun , Lee Seungbum , Cho Gyu-Taek , Koh Hee-Jong
Published: November 2022

Background: Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a valuable source of starch, proteins and minerals in the human diet. Starch, a major component of bean seeds, is composed of amylose and amylopectin and the content of amylose is important for affecting the quality of bean-derived food products. However, limited information is available on amylose assessment in bean. Methods: In this study, for a total of 300 bean landraces, we evaluated the seed amylose content and characterized twenty agronomic traits and analyzed the granule-bound starch synthase 1a (GBSS1a) gene haplotypes, which are likely to be associated with amylose content. Also, the correlation of amylose content with agronomic traits and GBSS1a gene haplotypes were determined. Result: Bean landraces showed diverse phenotypes, highly variable amylose content (39.95-63.57%) and three GBSS1a haplotypes (YP, YQ and NP). Correlation analysis revealed that seed size and seed weight were significantly correlated with amylose content and NP-type beans contained more amylose than YQ-type beans. Although these correlations could not fully explain the tremendous amount of variation in seed amylose content in bean germplasm, information on starch composition-related GBSS1a haplotypes and agronomic traits would facilitate genetic analyses and breeding research targeted toward improving the composition of bean starch.
A Critique of Ladd’s ‘Already but not Yet’ View of the Kingdom
Authors: Scholtz Jacob J
Published: November 2022

The kingdom of God is an important subject for theology and for a Christian worldview. As one of the most influential theologians of the twentieth century, George Eldon Ladd is arguably the father of the widely held ‘already but not yet’ view of the kingdom. Ladd contends that the kingdom can be both present and future at the same. The key to Ladd’s theory is his definition of the kingdom. If the kingdom can be present and future at the same time, Ladd realises that logically it cannot also be so in the same sense. Therefore, he postulates that Jesus offered a new and unexpected form of the kingdom, arguing that the New Testament radically reinterprets the Old Testament and calling this the mystery of the kingdom. This article critiques Ladd’s definition of the kingdom. The kingdom cannot logically be present and future at the same time. Moreover, Jesus did not offer a new ‘form’ of the kingdom. Regarding the mediatorial kingdom of God, the missing key is the word ‘conditional’.

A comparative reconstruction of Proto-Tupi-Guarani kinship terminology
Authors: Carvalho Fernando Orphão de , Birchall Joshua
Published: November 2022

This paper proposes a reconstruction of the kinship terminology system of Proto-Tupi-Guarani (PTG). The focus of the contribution lies in presenting a solid core of cognate sets and argumentation for the reconstruction of formal and semantic aspects for each relevant etymon. The etymologies are preceded by a review of our current understanding of PTG kinship terms and by a selective overview of those aspects of PTG structure that will play out more importantly in the proposed etyma. Finally, we end by considering a few open issues in the reconstruction of the PTG kinship system, many of which are raised here for the first time, and by addressing its characteristics in relation to traditional typologies of these terminology systems.

Authors: Vieira Juliana Silva , Filgueiras Juliana Miranda
Published: November 2022

O artigo tem como objetivo investigar alguns aspectos do processo de implantação da Reforma educacional promovida pela lei n. 5.692/71 no estado de Minas Gerais (Brasil), por meio da análise dos primeiros documentos produzidos por órgãos vinculados à Secretaria de Educação do estado: Planejamento prévio (1971) e Estratégias de implantação do ensino de 1° grau em Minas Gerais (1972). Ao tomar como referência os conceitos de representação e estratégia, a análise das fontes permitiu examinar quais foram as preocupações iniciais que envolveram a sua implantação. Os documentos evidenciaram uma série de representações sobre o regime escolar que se buscava implantar, considerado mais adequado a atender as necessidades da sociedade da época - voltadas para o mundo do trabalho. Em contraposição, os documentos construíam uma representação negativa da realidade educacional até então existente, considerada arcaica e inadequada para atender as novas demandas da sociedade. A partir dessas representações, a SEE/MG construiu estratégias para a implantação da reforma em Minas Gerais.

LA SEGREGACIÓN RESIDENCIAL ÉTNICA EN SAN CRISTÓBAL DE LAS CASAS. ESPACIOS URBANOS DONDE LA DUALIDAD SOCIAL PERMANECE.
Authors: Figueroa Esquinca Talía Esther , Figueroa Esquinca Carla Ángela
Published: November 2022

El objetivo del presente documento es determinar las áreas segregadas y visualizar la forma de ocupación actual en San Cristóbal de Las Casas, tanto de la población considerada indígena maya como la afrodescendiente; a través de la aplicación de índices estadísticos que miden la homogeneidad social y la concentración espacial. Como fuente de información se tomó el Censo de Población y Vivienda 2020 a nivel AGEB, para desarrollar una investigación del tipo comparativo, de alcance transversal. Los resultados sugieren que el uso de distintos indicadores para determinar la condición indígena puede impactar en los resultados del diagnóstico de la segregación residencial étnica; así también, se descubrió que cuatro de cinco AGEBs actualmente identificados como segregados, corresponden a colonias fundadas a partir de la segunda ola de migración rural indígena a la ciudad. En el caso de la segregación de la población afrodescendiente, los resultados advertirán particulares niveles superiores de homogeneidad social y concentración espacial en dos AGEB. Estas aportaciones nos permiten observar una disminución de las áreas que se consideran residencialmente segregadas dentro de los límites de espacios urbanos previamente diagnosticados como segregados a principios del siglo XX, con información novedosa sobre la ocupación habitacional afrodescendiente y la subsecuente constatación de que los habitantes mayas y los considerados afromexicanos habitan espacios diferenciados de la ciudad.
The influence of social media on religious identity politics among Indonesian millennial generation
Authors: Hayati Cucu Nur , Ihsan A. Bakir , Shaka Muhammad Farras
Published: November 2022

The millennial generation and social media are like two sides of a coin. Social media has become an inherent identity of the main characteristics of the millennial generation, who are adaptive, innovative, and pragmatic. Under these conditions, this research studies whether social media disproportionately impacts the behaviours of the millennial generation, especially in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic, which demands online interactions. Through qualitative methods, this article is based on the analysis of documents related to religious identity politics on social media and is strengthened by in-depth interviews. From data analysis and interviews, it is evident that the millennial generation accesses social media more than just as a medium of entertainment. It is also driven by the interests of communication and seeking answers to problems of life. Even if the millennial generation accesses platforms that lead to religious identity politics, it is more driven by a momentary curiosity about the issues that are present in their minds, except for those who have been indoctrinated by an exclusive religious understanding from the start and place politics as an inseparable part of their religious identity.
Rights to free from corruption: A vernacular mobilization of anti-corruption movement in Indonesia
Authors: Choir Miftachul
Published: November 2022

This study examines how the non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Indonesia built anti-corruption movements despite the constraining sociopolitical context in Indonesia. Applying collective action framework, this research argues that NGOs translate, transform, and circulate the meaning of anti-corruption activism set in the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) into an appropriate environment. The translation results in rights consciousness through redefining the meaning of corruption, victimization of corruption, mainstreaming anti-corruption techniques, circling the human rights frame through capacity-building training, and multiplying the task of vernacularization to local NGOs. This research selected Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) as a case study, examined their article of association, annual report, program report, and their educational campaign. Interview conducted with participants of their educational program. The data analyzed using discourse analysis to see how ICW problematizes and prognose corruption, and identifying the key framing of their activity. The study contributes to the scholarship of Indonesian social movements that were paying more attention to the efficacy and evaluation of NGOs movement rather than the process of how they built the movement. This study also argues that in the absence of leftist politics, human rights discourse is applicable to articulate justice demands and mobilize citizens for liberal reforms.
Model-free Adaptive Position Tracking Control of Induction Motors Based on Memory-based Data-driven Extended State Observers
Authors: Liu Lu , Yang Anxin , Zhang Weidong
Published: November 2022

This paper investigates the position control of induction motor in the presence of model uncertainties, load torque disturbances, unknown input gains, and unmeasured rotor velocity. A model-free position tracking controller is proposed based on novel memorybased data-driven extended state observers and dynamic surface control design, under which the induction motor can track the reference position without any priori knowledge of model parameters. In the observation loop, memory-based data-driven extended state observers are developed to estimate the model uncertainties, load disturbances, as well as the control input gains without the measurement of rotor velocity. The convergence of estimation errors is guaranteed without persistently exciting condition, and the true value of control input gains are reconstructed in finite-time. In the control loop, a dynamic surface controller is developed based on the proposed observers, such that the model-free position tracking control of induction motors can be achieved. The observer and controller are designed in modularity and form a cascade system, which is proved to be input-to-state stable. Simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed model-free position tracking controller for induction motors.

Authors: Şen Zekâi
Published: November 2022

This paper proposes a double fuzzy inference system (DOFIS) as a way to estimate point hydrological values ​​at any desired point, based on records from easting and northing fuzzy sets. For a given set of station locations, hydrological quantities are added as fuzzy set core with a membership degree (MD) equal to one and support equal to zero MD. The application of the methodology is presented on the basis of annual precipitation amounts at 10 meteorological stations for the southeastern province of Turkey. A comparison of the methodology against the radial basis function (RBF), Kriging (KRG) and inverse distance square (IDS) interpolation techniques is presented. The mean relative error percentages for the DOFIS, RBF, KRG and IDS methods are 0.078, -7.61, -7.80 and -7.72, respectively. All are within ±10% acceptable error limits in practice. This point represents a significant improvement in spatial estimation based on the DOFIS methodology.

Authors: Yuan Xingming , Guo Bing
Published: November 2022

Most precious studies focused on one single type of ecological functional area during single period, which ignored the differences of evaluation systems and index weights among different ecological areas in different study periods. In addition, the comparability of vulnerability assessment results among different study areas was poor. This paper proposed a novel-quantitative vulnerability evaluation method for multi-type and multi-temporal ecological functional areas using dynamic weighting method: Three-River Source region grassland meadow wetland ecological functional area(TRSR), Guiqiandian karst rocky desertification control ecological functional area(GQD), Hunshandake desertification control ecological functional area(HSDK), and Chuandian forest and biodiversity ecological functional area(CD), and then introduced the net primary productivity (NPP) to realize the determination of multi-type ecological vulnerability thresholds, which is helpful to compare the vulnerability evaluation results of different ecological functional areas in a unified and comparable level. The results showed that: (1) The proposed novel-quantitative vulnerability evaluation method had higher applicability in vulnerability assessment for multi-type ecological functional areas(91.1% for TRSR,91.9%for HSDK, 91.7% for CD, and 94.2% for GQD) based on dynamic weight determination method;(2) The determination of vulnerability thresholds based on NPP could provide a comparable level to investigate the spatial distribution patterns of ecological vulnerability in multi-type ecological functional areas for different periods; (3) The average ecological vulnerability of TRSR, GQD, and CD belonged to mild vulnerability, while that of HSDK belonged to moderate vulnerability; (4) There were significant differences in the dominant factors of ecological vulnerability for multi-type ecological functional areas in different periods. The research results could provide data and method supports for ecological protection for multi-type ecological zones in national scale.

Airway epithelial cells (AECs) play a key role in maintaining lung homeostasis, epithelium regeneration and the initiation of pulmonary immune responses. To isolate and study murine AECs investigators have classically used short and hot (1h 37°C) digestion protocols. Here, we present a workflow for efficient AECs isolation and culture, utilizing long and cold (20h 4°C) dispase II digestion of murine lungs. This protocol yields a greater number of viable AECs compared to an established 1h 37°C dispase II digestion. Using a combination of flow cytometry and immunofluorescent microscopy, we demonstrate that compared to the established method, the cold digestion allows for recovery of a 3-fold higher number of CD45−CD31−EpCAM+ cells from murine lungs. Their viability is increased compared to established protocols, they can be isolated in larger numbers by magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS), and they result in greater numbers of KRT5+p63+ colonies in vitro, which have the capacity to proliferate. Our findings demonstrate that temperature and duration of murine lung enzymatic digestion have a considerable impact on AEC yield, viability, and proliferation in vitro. We believe this workflow will be helpful for studying lung AECs and their role in the biology of lung.

BACKGROUND: Swallowing disorders are a common complication after stroke.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture of the cricopharyngeal muscle in the treatment of cricopharyngeal disorders and to explore a new method that is safe, intuitive, precise, and effective.
METHODS: This was a multicenter randomized controlled trial. One hundred and forty-eight patients with post-stroke cricopharyngeal muscle relaxation dysphagia who met the criteria at three hospitals were randomly divided into a control group (n=74) and a test group (n=74). The control group received conventional swallowing training with basic medication (including basic training and feeding training), and the test group received ultrasound-guided targeted acupuncture treatment of the cricopharyngeal muscle in addition to the treatment of the control group for 4 weeks. Patients in both groups used VFSS, WST, SSA, SWAL-QOL and EAT-10, PAS and NRS 2002 before and after treatment.
DISCUSSION: This trial used ultrasound-guided acupuncture to treat cricopharyngeal muscle loss relaxation, not only to explore a new method that is safe, intuitive, precise and effective, but also to provide more high-quality experimental evidence for the clinical application of the combination of Chinese and Western medicine.

This paper suggests a dual-band 28/38 GHz four element MIMO array based on dual-mode planar monopole antennas for 5G wireless applications. The design structure contains four planar monopole antennas; located at the corners on a 20×20 mm2 size Rogers RO4003 substrate with a dielectric constant of 3.55. The proposed planar monopole antenna has the shape of a crescent. In order to achieve the desired behavior and performance, we engraved two rectangular slots on both sides and also added a notch at the bottom. In addition, we used a partial ground plane to enhance the isolation. Significant isolation ( > − 23 dB) is achieved between antenna elements by employing spatial and polarization diversity techniques. To validate the design concept, a prototype of the four-element MIMO array is designed, fabricated, and measured. The experimental results show that the proposed antenna can cover the 27.25–29 GHz and 34.5–41 GHz bands with good isolation and high efficiency. Furthermore, the radiation pattern, the realized gain and the channel capacity are also studied. According to the reached results, the proposed MIMO antenna may be a suitable application-oriented design for 5G MIMO applications at the millimeter-wave range.

Background
Increasing evidence has indicated that oxycodone (OXY) can promote or prevent tumor growth and metastasis. However, the influences of OXY combined with paclitaxel (PTX) on the breast cancer cells are unclear. Our study aimed to examine the effects of OXY combined with PTX on the proliferation, apoptosis and migration of human breast cancer SKBR3 cells and the underlying mechanism was explored.
Methods
SKBR3 cells were treated with OXY and/or PTX. The proliferation, apoptosis and invasion of SKBR3 cells were assessed by CCK-8, colony formation assay, flowcytometric, Transwell assay and scratch assays, respectively. In addition, Western blotting was used to detect the expression of related proteins in these cells. The autophagic bodies were observed under a transmission electron microscope.
Results
OXY (0.25, 0.5 and 1 mM) significantly inhibited the viability, colony-forming, migration and invasion of SKBR3 cells as compared to control group. Furthermore, OXY (0.25, 0.5 and 1 mM) markedly induced the apoptosis of SKBR3 cells and the levels of apoptosis-related proteins. In addition, OXY (0.25, 0.5 and 1 mM) and PTX inhibited the proliferation of SKBR3 cells synergistically as compared to PTX group in vitro. Moreover, OXY (0.25, 0.5 and 1 mM) significantly elevated the PTX-induced apoptosis in SKBR3 cells via downregulating the expression of N-cadherin, Becline-1 LC3-Ⅱ, p-Akt and p-mTOR and upregulating E-cadherin expression. Compared with control group, OXY (1 mM) treatment induced autophagy in SKBR3 cells. OXY (1 mM) combined with PTX increased the number and size of autophagy bodies as compared to the PTX group. Moreover, OXY distinguished enhanced antitumor effect of PTX on SKBR3 cells.
Conclusions
Our study indicates that OXY can enhance antitumor effect of PTX on breast cancer in vitro. Hence, the combination of OXY with PTX may serve as a potential strategy for the treatment of breast cancer.

Published: November 2022

Screens for Fusarium wilt antagonistic bacteria have generally focused on screening for antagonistic strains from healthy plants, with few reports of screening for antagonists from leaves of diseased plants. In this study, we used cucumber leaves infected with Fusarium wilt disease for the isolation of antagonists and a total of four endophytes with obvious antagonistic effects were screened. Based on the results of physiological and biochemical experiments and 16S rDNA gene sequencing, four strains were identified as Paenibacillus polymyxa (Y-4, Y-6, Y-14) and Bacillus Zanthoxylum (Y-9), and all antagonistic strains exhibited the ability to produce amylase, pectinase and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). In pot test, antagonistic bacteria were able to significantly reduce the disease index in cucumber seedlings challenged with the pathogen. Four strains of antagonistic bacteria can alleviate the damage caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum (FOC) invasion by increasing the photosynthetic efficiency, antioxidant capacity and root vigor of cucumber seedlings. In conclusion, the leaves of cucumber diseased strain may also be a potential source for screening novel antagonistic agents against cucumber Fusarium wilt. The screened four strains of antagonists had a certain biocontrol potential against FOC and could play a certain role in environmental-friendly agriculture in the future.
