Background: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have been introduced as useful inflammatory markers to predict the outcome of a wide spectrum of diseases, such as malignancies and cardiovascular pathologies. Limited evidence is available for their role in end-stage renal disease and dialysis patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate NLR and PLR as predictors of mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Methods: In this retrospective study 122 incident PD patients between 2004 and 2019 were included. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data were collected. Relationships between NLR, PLR and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were evaluated by Spearman correlation test. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression analysis were performed to determine the association of NLR and PLR with all-cause mortality. Results: Mean levels of NLR and PLR were 3.99±2.6 and 195.5±101.7, respectively. Both NLR and PLR were significantly and positively correlated with serum hs-CRP levels (r=0.340, p<0.001 and r=0.360, p<0.001, respectively). The overall mortality rate was 18.9% after a mean follow-up of 30.2±24.0 months. On multivariable modeling, we found that higher NLR (HR=1.662, 95%CI 1.117-2.472) and higher PLR (HR=1.010, 95%CI 1.004-1.015), in addition to lower residual renal function and higher Charlson comorbidity index were significant independent predictors of poor survival, when adjusted for nutritional status. Discussion: In this study, NLR and PLR were validated as inflammatory markers and predicted survival in our PD patients. Our results suggest that NLR might be a better indicator of mortality than PLR.

Nephrotic syndrome in systemic lupus erythematosus patients with histological evidence of minimal change disease, mesangial proliferation or focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis on light microscopy, represents a distinct clinical entity – lupus podocytopathy. This entity is characterized by a diffuse foot process effacement on electron microscopy and by absence of subepithelial or subendothelial immune -complex deposition. We report the case of a 49 -year -old woman admitted on suspicion of lupus nephritis flare, characterized by nephrotic syndrome and acute kidney injury, whose renal biopsy revealed histological features of lupus podocytopathy. Six months after discharge, under prednisolone and azathioprine, she presented 300 mg/day proteinuria, normal kidney function, without hematuria. A review of the pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnostic criteria, treatment and prognosis of lupus podocytopathy is provided. This case highlights the mounting evidence that lupus podocytopathy encompasses distinct clinical and morphological features, that should be included in the upcoming pathological classification of lupus nephritis.

Published: April 2021

Program Pengendalian Penyakit Tidak Menular (PPTM) telah diimplementasikan di Kulon Progo sejak tahun 2010 namun prevalensi PTM mengalami peningkatan dari 2013 ke 2015. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi masalah, menentukan masalah priotas dan memberikan rekomendasi pada pengimplementasian program PPTM. Penelitian ini adalah studi observasional. Identifikasi masalah dilakukan melalui studi dokumen laporan pelaksanaan program PPTM tahun 2011-2015 dan melalui wawancara dengan Pemegang Program PTM dan Kepala Seksi Pengamatan Penyakit dan Imunisasi. Penetapan masalah prioritas dengan metode Hanlon menggunakan kuesioner yang diberikan kepada informan kunci (kepala dan sekretaris dinas kesehatan, empat kepala bidang, kepala seksi pengamatan penyakit dan imunisasi, dan pemegang program PTM). Pendekatan teknik pohon masalah untuk mengidentifikasi akar masalah prioritas. Terdapat sebelas masalah dengan rentan score Hanlon 60-109. Masalah prioritas utama adalah belum terjalinnya koordinasi untuk sinergitas antar program di dinas kesehatan dalam jejaring PTM. Akar masalah prioritas adalah ketidakhadiran seluruh (pemegang) program pada pertemuan rutin mingguan. Koordinasi untuk sinergitas antar program dalam jejaring PTM yang belum terjalin mengakibatkan pemegang program kurang memahami kontribusi program lain terhadap pengendalian PTM dan kontribusi PTM terhadap masalah kesehatan lainnya. Regulasi formal dari kepala dinas kesehatan diperlukan sebagai dasar aturan tertulis bagi seluruh program untuk menghadiri pertemuan rutin. Direkomendasikan penyelenggaraan pertemuan rutin antar program sehingga seluruh pegawai dapat memperoleh informasi terkini terkait PTM.

Authors:   Samara Paleontological Society, Samara, Morova Alena A.
Published: April 2021

By the example of studying the drilling cuttings from the carbonate deposits of Bashkir age it is shown that lithologic-petrographic, physic-mechanical, mineralogical and geochemical properties of cuttings change at the opening of stratigraphic boundaries. Cappametric research proves that the petromagnetic units, as a rule, coincide with the stratigraphic ones, but in some cases the analysis of the petromagnetic rhythm allows to refine the stratigraphic boundaries.

PROBLEMS OF RUSSIAN STEPPE LANDSCAPES CAUSED BY OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION
Authors:   Institute of Steppe of Ural Branch RAS, Myachina Ksenya V.
Published: April 2021

The depth and scale of man-made transformations of steppe landscapes in the course of oil and gas production remain underestimated. The sites provided for the development of oil and gas fields are not allocated to a separate category of the Russian Land Fund . Often there is a mismanagement of subsoil companies to the plots provided to them, provoked by the loyal attitude of the Supervisory authorities. Approved projects of oil and gas development often demonstrate minor significance of section on assessing the impact on the environment. Optimization of this type of land use becomes necessary at this stage of oil and gas production development.

Non-Alkolik Yağlı Karaciğer Hastalığında Potansiyel Tedavi Yaklaşımı: E Vitamini
Authors: Uçar Kübra , Ayaz Aylin
Published: April 2021

Non-Alkolik Yağlı Karaciğer Hastalığı (NAYKH); fazla miktarda alkol alımının (20-30 g/gün), sekonder nedenlerin (genetik ve metabolik bozukluklar, ilaç kullanımı gibi) ve karaciğer hastalığının herhangi bir etiyolojisinin olmadığı durumda hepatositlerin veya karaciğer ağırlığının %5’inin üzerinde yağ birikimi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Hastalığın oluşumu ve gelişiminde etkili faktörler henüz net olmamakla birlikte oksidatif stres NAYKH patogenezinde önemli rol oynamaktadır. Metabolik sendromun hepatik yansıması olarak düşünülen NAYKH için en önemli risk faktörleri arasında obezite, hiperglisemi, hipertansiyon ve dislipidemi bulunmaktadır. Yeterli ve dengeli beslenme ve egzersiz ile yapılan yaşam tarzı değişikliği NAYKH tedavisinde en etkili yaklaşımdır. Ancak sıkı yaşam tarzı değişikliğine uzun dönemde uyum sağlama konusunda yaşanan sorunlar farmakolojik yaklaşımlara olan ilgiyi arttırmıştır. Özellikle güçlü antioksidan etkisinin yanı sıra adiponektin ekspresyonunu uyarma, inflamatuvar ve apoptotik yanıtları azaltma gibi antioksidan olmayan etkilere sahip E vitamini, NAYKH için potansiyel tedavi stratejisi olarak düşünülmektedir. Özellikle non-alkolik steatohepatit tedavisinde E vitamininin etkinliğini ve güvenirliğini belirlemek için histolojik sonuçlara ulaşan ve potansiyel mekanizmaları değerlendiren randomize kontrollü çalışmalara gereksinim duyulmaktadır. Bu derlemenin amacı, NAYKH tedavisinde E vitamini takviyesinin etkinliğini güncel literatüre dayanarak incelemektir.
Patronage and Power: The Vicereines at the Court of Naples in the Reign of Philip III of Spain
Authors: Franganillo Álvarez Alejandra
Published: April 2021

Recently, several studies have focused on the figure of the viceroy in the Spanish Monarchy, especially in the Kingdom of Naples. However, far less attention has been paid to the role of the vicereines of Naples. The goal of my study is to investigate and clarify the significant roles held by these noblewomen at one of the most important viceregal courts of the Spanish Monarchy. I will focus on one vicereine in particular, Catalina de Zúñiga y Sandoval, 6th Countess of Lemos and sister to the Duke of Lerma (1599–1601), who developed an extensive political network through copious correspondences, requesting and distributing mercedes (dignities and favours) among family members and her clientage. A revisionary analysis of the vicereines’ roles at the Neapolitan court demonstrates how knowledge of their political contribution is essential for a deeper understanding of the economic and political strategies deployed by their families.
