Published: March 2024

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the rate and severity patterns of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and identify antenatal and postnatal factors associated with BPD in preterm infants <32 weeks of gestational age (GA). Methods: This retrospective observational study included preterm neonates <32 weeks of gestation admitted into the neonatal intensive care unit between January 2010 and December 2017 at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman. A data set of antenatal and perinatal factors were collected. BPD was defined as the need for oxygen and/or respiratory support at 36 weeks post-menstrual age (PMA). Infants with and without BPD were compared in their antenatal and perinatal factors. Results: A total of 589 preterm infants <32 weeks were admitted. Among them, 505 (85.7%) survived to 36 weeks’ PMA and 90 (17.8%) had BPD. The combined BPD and mortality rate was 28.4%. Grades 1, 2 and 3 BPD constituted 77.8%, 7.8% and 14.4%, respectively. BPD was associated with lower GA, lower birth weight, need for intubation at resuscitation, lower Apgar scores, longer duration of ventilation, surfactant therapy and higher rates of neonatal morbidities. On binary logistic regression analysis, predictors of BPD were longer duration of ventilation, intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) and necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). Conclusion: In an Omani centre, 17.8% of preterm infants (<32 weeks GA) developed BPD. Various perinatal and neonatal factors were associated with BPD. However, longer duration of ventilation, IVH grades 1 and 2 and NEC stages II and III were significant predictors. Future multicentre research is necessary to provide the overall prevalence of BPD in Oman to help optimise the resources for BPD prevention and management in preterm infants.

Published: March 2024

Objectives: Cranioplasty is a complex craniofacial and neurosurgical procedure that aims to reinstate the architecture of the cranial vault and elevate both its aesthetic and neurological function. Several reconstructive materials have been thoroughly explored in the search for the optimal solution for cranioplasty. This study aimed to evaluate different material used for cranial reconstruction in Oman. Methods: This retrospective study included all patients who had had cranioplasty procedures performed at Khoula Hospital, Muscat, Oman, from 2012 to 2022. Demographic information, the characteristics of the cranial defect and any complications that occurred post-operatively were analysed. Results: A total of 47 patients were included in this study. The most common cause of cranial defects was craniectomy following traumatic head injury (70.2%) along with excision of fibrous dysplasia (10.6%). The most frequently utilised material for cranial repair was autologous bone grafts (n = 28), followed by polyetheretherketone (PEEK; n = 14). Interestingly, the replacement of bone grafts from previous craniectomy showed a notably high resorption rate (71.4%), in contrast to split calvarial grafts (0%) and other types of bone grafts (14.3%). Additionally, delayed graft infection was observed in 3.6% of the bone graft group and 7.1% of the PEEK group. Conclusion: Patient-specific alloplastic implants such as PEEK have gained popularity for large and complex cranioplasty, as they provide excellent aesthetic outcomes and leave no donor site morbidity. In contrast, bone grafts remain the gold standard for small to medium-sized cranial defects.

Published: March 2024

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide while Warthin’s tumor (WT) is a common type of benign salivary gland neoplasm mostly seen in the parotid gland but rarely involves extra parotid tissues. Extra parotid WT is itself a rare entity and its synchronous occurrence with OSCC is an unusual phenomenon. It is vital to accurately identify the pathology as confusion may arise due to its rare occurrence and an intriguing presentation of resembling metastasis in lymph nodes. In the present review, a systematic literature search was performed and case reports and series in which synchronous existence of WT and OSCC were included. Total 13 papers have been included with 17 cases of synchronous WT and OSCC. Quality assessment for cases was done based on the CARE guidelines. The given results describe the histological features and site of WT in individuals who also had OSCC. Most of the studies described the histological findings of WT, which were seen involving the lymph nodes. More than 50% of the included cases had a history of tobacco chewing or smoking. The cases that have reported for follow up showed no evidence of any recurrence. WT with OSCC synchronous occurrence at a different site from the primary tumor can mimic a metastatic lesion from a primary lesion. It is a diagnostic challenge and could alter the management of these patients if not identified accurately. Awareness about this synchronous occurrence can avoid the overtreatment in such cases. Majority of the WTs described were seen in cervical lymph nodes.

Published: March 2024

The article analyzes research on the production of carbon nanoparticles and their use in tribological systems. A comparison of the results of installations based on different methods of obtaining nanotubes and fullerenes shows that the purest and highest-quality product is obtained by laser evaporation of graphite, but this is a long, time-consuming and expensive process. The yield of useful products is up to 20 %. The thermal method has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include the availability and cheapness of carbon raw materials: from oil, carbon gases to municipal waste. All of them are sources of nanotubes and fullerenes when using the thermal method. The yield of useful nanoproducts is average, and the purity reaches 90-95 %. The simplest known method is the electric arc method for obtaining nanotubes and fullerenes. However, the yield of useful products does not exceed 15%. In addition, the large number of reactor designs for obtaining highly structured carbon nanoparticles indicates that an acceptable design has not yet been found that would guarantee obtaining a product with specified properties, stable parameters and in the required quantities. The article also analyzes research on the effect of carbon nanoparticles on the lubricating film, provides a calculation scheme for the interaction of a carbon nanoparticle with a metal surface in a friction pair, and provides a calculation model for the change in the adsorption time of carbon nanoparticles depending on the radius to the initial distance. Which showed that according to the experimental data of other researchers, the data obtained regarding the time of physical adsorption of individual molecules and their aggregates is about 10-9 to 10-6 seconds, which confirms the priority of the formation of the solvate shell, and only then the manifestation of the adsorption of carbon nanoparticles. The analysis of studies on the influence of carbon nanoparticles showed that there is a dependence for determining the intensity of wear of sliding friction pairs in elastic contact, which takes into account the concentration of carbon nanoparticles in the oil and the contact pressure. According to the obtained dependence, the intensity of wear is inversely proportional to the concentration of carbon nanoparticles, and directly proportional to the contact pressure.

Published: March 2024

In the scientific and technical literature review, investigated the use of niobium as an environmentally friendly and effective alloying addition to enhance the temperature stability of the structure and properties of copper products with an ultrafine-grained structure has been investigated. Considerable attention is paid to the potential of niobium as an alloying addition in the context of the innovative use of niobium to form a special «layer» at grain boundaries to strengthen its influence on the structure, especially the grain structure, and consequently on the properties of copper and materials based on it. The review of literature and informational sources devoted to the Cu-Nb phase diagram has shown that niobium is one of the most effective segregants to limit grain growth in binary copperbased alloys. Additionally, the efficiency of niobium as an alloying element that improves the grain structure and the mechanisms believed to underlie this phenomenon have been discussed. In particular, the use of alloying and liquid metal processing technologies for refining the grain structure of copper alloys has been examined. It has been elucidated that niobium in copper-based alloys is also used to enhance physicalmechanical and technological properties. The impact of microimpurities on the final structure of the copper-niobium alloy has been highlighted, imposing specific requirements on the purity of input materials and the technologies used to eliminate contamination from the melt and improve its homogenization. The review briefly discusses other methods that can be employed to form a special «layer» at grain boundaries. Specifically, technologies of mechanical alloying and methods of simultaneous deposition of component vapors in a vacuum have been studied. Based on the results of the literature analysis, the considerable prospectiveness of methods involving the simultaneous deposition of component vapors in a vacuum to create a special «layer» at grain boundaries has been demonstrated. The article examines the results of studies on niobium segregation at grain boundaries in the copper-niobium system and similar systems, establishing that the improvement of several described technologies and methods can be quite promising for the further development of technology for its implementation in production.

Authors: Tong Lina , Cui Decheng , Wang Chen , Peng Liang
Published: March 2024

As the number of people with neurological disorders increases, movement rehabilitation becomes progressively important, especially the active rehabilitation training, which has been demonstrated as a promising solution for improving the neural plasticity. In this paper, we developed a 5-degree-of-freedom rehabilitation robot and proposed a zero-force control framework for active rehabilitation training based on the kinematics and dynamics identification. According to the robot motion characteristics, the fuzzy PID algorithm was designed to further improve the flexibility of the robot. Experiments demonstrated that the proposed control method reduced the Root Mean Square Error and Mean Absolute Error evaluation indexes by more than 15% on average and improves the coefficient of determination ($$ R^{2} $$ ) by 4% compared with the traditional PID algorithm. In order to improve the active participation of the post-stroke rehabilitation training, this paper designed an active rehabilitation training scheme based on gamified scenarios, which further enhanced the efficiency of rehabilitation training by means of visual feedback.

The development of post-ovoid syndrome is the serious consequence of COVID-19. The link of the clinical manifestations of COVID-19 with the cytokine profile remains insufficiently investigated until now. Objective. To study the biomarkers of the incompleteness of the immune hyperinflammatory process in the period of reconvalescence of patients with COVID-19 in order to predict the threat of post-covid syndrome based on the study of the dynamics of changes in serum cytokine levels IL-1b, TNF-α, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-17A, IL-18, VEGF-A and interferons IFN-α, IFN-γ. Patients and methods. IL-1b -4, -6, -8, -10, -17A, -18 cytokines, TNF-α,VEGF-A, IFN-α, IFN-γ have been studied in dynamics,(enzyme immunoassay) in patients with moderate COVID-19 (n = 45, 61 (57; 71) years) in the acute period (study group (SG) 1a), against the background of antiviral therapy (GI1b) and upon discharge from the hospital (SG1b). Comparison group (CG) – 50 conditionally healthy people. Results. It was found that the levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-8 were normalized in GI1b, in 35% of cases IL-6, while the level of cytokines IL-18, IL-17A, VEGF-A remained at the values determined in the acute course of COVID-19 (p > 0.05). Conclusion. Elevated levels of IL-17A, IL-18, VEGF-A in the period of COVID-19 reconvalescence could be prognostic biomarkers indicating the continuing incompleteness of the immune inflammatory process, which determines the need for cytokine monitoring in the post-ovoid period and requires the creation of targeted immunotherapy strategies.

Objective. To characterize the relationship of alleles of single nucleotide genetic polymorphisms in the genes of the hemostasis system and folate cycle with the severity of the course and outcomes of the COVID-19 coronavirus infection. Patients and methods. The study conducted on the basis of the Republican Clinical Infectious Diseases Hospital of Izhevsk in 2020–2021 included 40 patients with COVID-19. The study of alleles of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of 12 genes encoding factors of the blood coagulation system was performed in patients. Biological analysis of genomic DNA was performed using a set of reagents "Real-Best-Genetics Hemostasis (12)". A CFX96 amplifier (Bio-Rad, USA) was used to carry out the polymerase chain reaction. The significance level of differences between the groups was determined using the criteria χ2, Mann–Whitney and Fisher's exact criterion. Results. The C allele of SNP of ITGB3:1565 β3 integrin gene (T/C) tends to be associated with a more severe course of the disease (p = 0.048). The C allele of SNP of β3 integrin gene ITGB3:1565 (T/C), the T allele of SNP of α2 integrin gene ITGA2:807 (C/T), and the T allele of SNP of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene MTHFR:677 (C/T) tend to be associated with higher mortality with COVID-19 (p < 0.05). Conclusion. The minor allele of SNP of ITGB3:1565 (T/C) gene can be considered as a predictor of the severe course of COVID-19, minor alleles of SNP of ITGB3:1565 (T/C), ITGA2:807 (C/T), and MTHFR:677 (C/T) genes can be considered as predictors of a higher risk of a lethal outcome.
