Published: February 2022

Tomatoes comprise a high level of TBG4 (Tomato Beta galactosidase-4) enzyme activity that plays a key role in fruit softening by significant changes in the galactosyl content in the pericarp cell wall. In the present work, in silico docking studies of beta galactosidase with specific elucidated ligands were carried out. For the better understanding of protein ligand interactions, a set of 16 ligands were used for docking studies. In the present study, two different comparative docking softwares, Autodock4.0 and iGEMDOCK were used to study the protein–ligand interactions and performed to get the best docking scores. PLIP software was used for visualization of protein ligand complex and their interactions. Binding energies of 16 ligands were predicted among which 5 ligands 151, 2FL, B2G, EPE and LAT were analysed and confirmed as best ligands. Among them 151(2S)-3-Methyl-2-((2R,3S)-3- [(Mehtylsulfonyl)amino]-1-[2-(Pyrolidin-1-ylmethyl)- 1,3-Oxazol-4yl} Butanoic acid is the best inhibitor of TBG4 enzyme activity leading to significant enhancement in fruit shelf life.

Bioorthogonal chemistry has allowed the study of biomolecules in living systems with minimal structural perturbations to the molecules under investigation. In the field of lipid research, this has allowed for the study of lipid uptake and processing, whilst minimising artefacts on their biology resulting from pendant detectable groups. To allow the study of unsaturated free fatty acids in live cells, we here report the use of sterculic acid, a 1,2-cyclopropene containing oleic acid analogue, as a bioorthogonal probe. We here show that this lipid can be readily taken up by dendritic cells without toxic side-effects, and that it can subsequently be visualised in live cells using an inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction with quenched tetrazine fluorophores. Furthermore, this reaction can be integrated into a multiplexed bioorthogonal reaction workflow by combining it with two sequential copper-catalysed Huisgen ligation reactions. This allows for the study of multiple biomolecules in the cell simultaneously by multimodal confocal imaging.

Authors: Beves Jonathon , Wimberger Laura , Andréasson Joakim
Published: February 2022

The application of merocyanine photoacids has been previously largely limited to neutral and acidic pH values. Here we introduce a new merocyanine photoacid with superior pH switching qualities. By increasing the pKa in the dark (pKadark) and the solubility we increased the reversible visible light induced pH jump to 3.5 units. Moreover, it is the first demonstration of a merocyanine photoacid able to generate a significant pH drop from a basic (pH 8.3) to an acidic (pH 5.2) environment.

ABSTRACT Dye removal using low cost adsorbent is a suitable method for textile wastewater treatment. The aim of this research work is application of groundnut shell and sorghum husk in powdered form as low cost adsorbent for methylene blue and Congo red dye removal from water at laboratory scale. Batch studies were carried out to determine the adsorption equilibrium of methylene blue and Congo red dye on the two different adsorbent and also to verify the reported data using Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm. The study revealed that for the adsorption of methylene blue on sorghum husk, Langmuir Isotherm fitted well the experimental data with R2 value of 0.9710, while for the adsorption of methylene blue on groundnut shell. The Temkin binding energy (bT) are positive for all the experiment, indicating that the process is endothermic. The present work will help to carry out studies in packed column and later scale it up for industrial application.
Possibilities for correcting diffuse alopecia associated with prior coronavirus infection (COVID-19)
Authors: Shperling Natalia V. , Shperling Maksim I. , Gnatiuk Irina I.
Published: February 2022

Diffuse alopecia (DA) is a disease characterized by a diffuse hair loss associated with alterations in physiological hair cycle due to an exposure of hair follicles to various endogenous and exogenous factors. The disease is mainly caused by alterations in the cyclicity of hair follicle phases anagen, telogen and catagen. Pathogenetic therapy for DA is based on the initiation and lengthening of the anagen phase, in particular, via inhibition of catagen. Given a high prevalence of DA following a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the search for an effective medicine for the SARS-CoV-2 virus-associated DA is extremely important. The use of drugs derived from natural products can have a beneficial effect on the disease following COVID-19. The study was aimed to assess the efficacy of the combination of Selencin (homeopathic drug) and Selencin Peptide Active (peptide lotion) for the treatment of DA associated with prior coronavirus infection (COVID-19). A total of 34 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of telogen/anagen DA, who noted the relationship between DA and a new coronavirus infection, were treated with both systemic (pills) and topical (peptide lotion) Selencin for 2 months. The study showed a high efficacy of the treatment, i.e., a significant reduction in hair loss, as well as restoration of their structure and increase in volume. Also, after 2 and 4 months of treatment, there was a normalization of dermatoscopic picture of the scalp and an improvement in the special tests (PULL test). Thus, the use of the combined drug Selencin for SARS-CoV-2 virus-associated DA has a pronounced therapeutic effect. The drug can be used as the main treatment for this disease if it associated with COVID-19.

Published: February 2022

The Emergency Department (ED) is a highly stressful and fast-paced environment in which doctors are challenged to efficiently adapt and recall knowledge to make safe patient-care decisions. A literature search was conducted to assess the evidence supporting the benefits of exclusively hiring pre-clerkship and clerkship medical students as medical scribes in the emergency department. Several databases were used to collect a total of (insert#) articles and studies to explore and summarize the benefits of its implementation. These include, but are not limited to, increasing medical student exposure to the specialty of emergency medicine, enhancing their clinical skills, and assisting students to pay-down their medical school-related debt. Furthermore, appointing medical students as scribes is mutually beneficial to the ED by helping to cut down the lengthy wait times for patients and reduce the significantly high rates of emergency physician burnout. We conclude that hiring medical students as scribes in the ED is a potentially beneficial practice that merits further consideration and analysis.

This community service program is implemented in RT 09 RW 06 Penanggungan Village, Klojen District, Malang City. This is a housing estate that is located close to several campuses, making it vulnerable to being a crime target. In this program, we present an idea to solve this problem by creating an Internet of Things (IoT) based Android application “Peduli, Keamanan, Ketertiban" (PEKERTI). This system acts as a medium for partner residents to monitor their environmental conditions through installed CCTV cameras, exchange information, and inform each other, to send voice messages to be broadcasted through loudspeakers if there are indications of danger or crime-prone conditions. This program relies on four main stages, namely analysis and question and answer, preparation of supporting equipment, PEKERTI application design, and evaluation design. The results showed several positive responses from the Penanggungan community who assessed the effectiveness of this activity, marked by increased enthusiasm, order, concern, security, and comfort.

Formas contemporáneas de explotación laboral en el cine de Ken Loach
Authors: Martínez González Víctor Hugo
Published: February 2022

Conocido como un clásico del cine político, los filmes de Ken Loach denuncian las injusticias del capitalismo contra las clases trabajadoras y critican la explotación laboral profundizada por el neoliberalismo. Este ensayo analiza en tres filmes la mirada de Ken Loach, y reflexiona sobre la necesidad de revisar políticamente las bases económicas del orden social. Precarizar el trabajo y el bienestar de las clases trabajadoras es, como aquí se argumenta, un síntoma de la confusión ideológica entre modernización y democracia de nuestro tiempo.

A JOC e o surgimento da Igreja na Base (1958- 1970)
Authors: Mainwaring Scott
Published: February 2022

Este artigo trata da história da Juventude Operária Católica (JOC) do Brasil, de 1958 a 1970. A JOC foi uma das mais importantes experiências da Igreja Católica do Brasil na época, principalmente por ter sido uma precursora de grande significação para a pastoral popular que floresceu nos anos setenta. A JOC virtualmente desapareceu em 1970, vítima de brutal repressão da parte do Estado e do insuficiente apoio dos bispos; deu, porém, testemunho de um tipo de fé que deveria conquistar cada vez mais espaço dentro da Igreja brasileira. Anos antes das comunidades eclesiais de base, da pastoral da terra e da pastoral operária deixarem marcas importantes na Igreja do Brasil e na sociedade como um todo, vinham os participantes da JOC assumindo posições de liderança nos movimentos populares. Além de ajudar a formar um número significativo de líderes que continuam a desempenhar um papel chave em vários movimentos populares e na Igreja, a JOC proporcionou também campo fértil para outras inovações em práticas pedagógicas junto às classes populares...

A Guerra dos Cabanos, irrompida entre os anos de 1832 e 1850 nas antigas matas do tombo real ou do Juízo da Conservatória, situadas na fronteira norte das Alagoas e sul de Pernambuco, é talvez o fato mais radical e mais complexo da história das insurrecionalidades agrárias do Brasil. Sua origem e composição social estudei-as amplamente em A Utopia Armada (Rebeliões de Pobres nas Matas do Tombo Real) (Paz e Terra, Rio de Janeiro 1983). Agora neste curto ensaio tento retomar o tempo insurrecional cabano com um discurso sinóptico que permita, numa leitura curta, a percepção das linhas gerais e do conjunto fatual da insurrecionalidade, sendo que o aprofundamento de qualquer dos aspectos se deve procurar na leitura de minha obra maior...

Background

Since the emerging of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in late 2019 and the World Health Organization (WHO) declaring it as a pandemic, a race to develop a vaccine against COVID-19 has started worldwide and therefore huge efforts and resources have been put into achieving it. This review summarizes COVID-19 vaccines in phase III and IV.

Methods

A review of the scientific literature was conducted using the medical subject heading (MeSH) word “COVID-19 vaccines” on PubMed and the words “COVID-19”, “SARS-CoV-2” and “vaccine” on ClinicalTrials.gov as of January 24, 2021. The published WHO reports on candidate COVID-19 vaccines were reviewed. For clinical trials, only phase III and IV COVID-19 vaccines were included.

Results

Of the 1300 citations identified on January 24, 2021, 81 were eligible and included in this review. According to WHO report of January 22, 2021, there were 237 candidates vaccines in development and among them 64 vaccines were in advanced stages of development. On the same date, on ClinicalTrials.gov, there were 66 registered COVID-19 vaccines clinical trials on phase III and IV. Thirty seven were new candidates vaccines on phase III, 23 were BCG vaccines including five on phase VI, three were measles vaccines on phase III and three were polio vaccines (one on phase VI and one on phase III).

Conclusions

Despite safe and effective vaccines are available many challenges remain including logistic difficulties concerning mass production, supply, storage, cold chain, administration at community level and equitable distribution to the most vulnerable populations. Hence the need to continue preventive measures including, hand wash, wearing mask, cough and sneeze etiquette and social distancing.

Background

After years of increased human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) investments in Tanzania, the United States Presidents Emergency Program for the AIDS Response (PEPFAR) and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria (GFATM) have signaled that their financing will plateau or decline in the coming years, despite remaining challenges to reaching the Fast-Track 95-95-95 goals. To plan for these challenges, the Tanzania Ministry of Health and local partners requested an update to the country’s HIV investment case, recognizing that domestic financing will also be severely constrained over the coming decade.

Methods

Using the Goals model, five program scenarios (2019-30) were modeled and their health impacts and costs compared. Two scenarios were coverage-driven, Constant Coverage (CC) and the National Strategy (NS) while the three remaining scenarios explored how limited resources could be optimized through prioritization of prevention interventions, raising efficiency of treatment, and expanding cost-effective testing modalities. The resource envelopes used for resource-constrained scenarios were: same funding as the CC scenario, declining donor funds, and declining donor funds offset by domestic resource mobilization.

Results

Implementing the NS is estimated to cost US$8.1 billion over 2019-30, a 40% increase over the CC scenario. If the same funds needed to maintain CC were optimized, the NS goals could be achieved for US$2.5 billion less. If donor funds decline and domestic funding is not mobilized, even with optimization new HIV infections would increase by 7% and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related deaths by 24%. However, if the government can mobilize an average year on year increase of US$10.8 million, optimization would allow the country to achieve its ambitious Fast-Track goals.

Conclusions

If donor funds for HIV decline as announced, the Government needs to proactively optimize the response and invest more domestic resources to compensate, in order to achieve HIV epidemic control. Otherwise, national goals could be compromised. Other high burden countries can consider a similar investment case approach in the current era of fiscal constraints, which have been further exacerbated by COVID-19.
The removal of “pre-authorization” and patients’ free movement in cross-region healthcare services: evidence from China
Authors: Xu Zhengyuan , Xu Wei , Matalimanja Michael
Published: February 2022

Background

The record-filing process in China’s cross-region healthcare is similar to the “pre-authorization” in the EU, which is the requirement for patients to seek healthcare services outside the affiliated regions. Policymakers are increasingly designing policies that encourage patient choice and giving them the freedom to choose healthcare providers without “pre-authorization”. Some pilot regions in China tried to provide patients with the freedom to choose healthcare services freely without a record-filing process. This study aims to evaluate the effects of the removal of the record-filing process and to provide pieces of evidence for policy decisions on the cross-region healthcare system.

Methods

In this study, a difference-in-difference model that controlled for potential confounding was applied to ascertain the changes in cross-region inpatient visits, medical expenditures, health insurance payments and medical cost per-visit following the removal of the record-filing process by using cross-region inpatient claim data in the reform region and nonreform region after the policy intervention.

Results

The number of cross-region inpatient visits and total medical expenditures of cross-region healthcare costs increased significantly by 40.93% (P=0.010) and 32.41%(P=0.005), respectively. Total health insurance payments increased by 3.83% and were not significant (P=0.693). The average medical cost per visit for cross-region patients in the treated group was 6.44% lower than that in the control group, also not significantly (P=0.162).

Conclusions

The findings suggest that giving patients freedom without a “policy barrier” could significantly encourage more patients to seek healthcare services outside the affiliated regions and increase the total medical expenditures. While the financial concerns of the health insurance funds could be reduced effectively if a higher co-payment was used for cross-region patients.
Where there was no COVID-19: strengthening health systems response to disease threats in Tabora, Tanzania
Authors: Sikder Shegufta S , Idfonce Amani
Published: February 2022

Background

In May 2020, the international non-governmental organization Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere (CARE) sought to enable health systems in Tanzania to address COVID-19 health response. CARE leveraged existing partnerships with the Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children and the President’s Office of Regional Administration and Local Government in the largest geographic region of Tanzania, Tabora Region. At the time, the government declared Tanzania to be free from COVID-19 and did not permit partners to implement COVID-19 programming. In this context, CARE implemented integrated health systems strengthening support for government response to not only COVID-19 but also other infectious diseases.

Methods

We describe program implementation using monitoring reports generated by CARE colleagues to inform planning of integrated health programs that are gender-responsive. The initiative supported regional and local capacity building on infection prevention and control, household hygiene, infectious disease surveillance, and response to gender-based violence according to Tanzania’s national guidelines. These efforts utilized existing platforms and workers, including health care workers, community health workers, community groups, and government health management teams at the regional and district levels.

Results

CARE supported Tabora Region to develop 20 regional trainers who provide on-site mentorship and supportive supervision on infection prevention and control to health care workers. Nearly all (93%) trained community members on Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) Committees expressed confidence in response to Gender-Based Violence in accordance with Tanzania’s National VAWC Action Plan. Trained Community Health Workers continue to link communities to health information and services.

Conclusions

Implementation of a holistic health system strengthening approach with a gender lens positioned Tabora Region for response to infectious disease threats including COVID-19. Program managers seeking to address COVID-19 in their contexts should strengthen health systems at regional and district levels as well as community structures to enable resilient response to disease threats including but not limited to COVID-19.

Nasopharyngeal swabs are the most used in sample collecting for covid-19 tests in SARS-CoV-2 molecular diagnosis. However, this sampling method presents some disadvantages, since, in addition to being dependent on imported materials, it is invasive, causes discomfort in patients, and presents the risk of contamination for the medical collection team. This study aimed at validating saliva samples to obtain viral RNA to be used in the molecular diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2 using the RT-qPCR technique. Results presented 93, 44% concordance in comparison to nasopharyngeal swabs sampling. Therefore, saliva samples used in SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR detection tests presented consistent results.

A GMO stands for genetically modified organism, whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering. This creates plant, animal, bacteria, and virus genes that do not occur in nature. GMO foods (GMF) were introduced in the 1990s. Nowadays, GMF includes many plants and animals, whose genetic materials (DNA) structure has been modified. A biologist researcher creates GMOs by introducing genetic material, or DNA, from a different organism through a process called genetic engineering. Crops are most often genetically modified to increase production, improve diseases protection, improve resistance to insects, and herbs as well as modified to contain extra nutrients, such as vitamins and proteins. Animals can be genetically modified to increase production and improve quality. Foods produced from GMOs are often referred to as GM foods (GMF), where they are carefully studied before they are sold to the public to ensure they are safe. These studies showed that GMO foods are as healthful and safe as their non-GMO foods. There is some controversy over the benefits and risks of GMO foods. It is vital issue to discuss of benefits and risks of GMO foods, taking into account their potential effects on human health and the environment. The present article focuses on GMO plants and animal products (GMF) that may concern human consumers.

The current state of our planet earth is not good and is deteriorating day by day. It is the after effect of centuries of ill treatment of earth and the natural resources. Due to continuous pollution by various natural as well as manmade activities, recovery of the earth is not possible. Amongst all, the heavy metal is the most salient category of contaminant found in our environment which seems very difficult to curb. Many steps and technologies have been developed by the researchers across the world to solve the problem of heavy metal contamination. Recognizing their toxicity, it has been found that heavy metals possess threat to the whole ecosystem. Thus, phytoremediation has emerged as the ecological and economic technique for withdrawing and removing heavy metals from the soil. This paper outlines the details of phytoremediation, the various processes involved in it, and about the potential ornamentals used for the remediation purpose.
