To better understand the relationship between baseline immunoglobulin measurements and subsequent clinical outcomes in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), we performed a retrospective analysis on 660 patients with CLL (72%), monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL) (13%), and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) (14%), diagnosed between 2005 and 2014 at CancerCare Manitoba. Of 511 patients who had their first immunoglobulin level determined within 3 months of diagnosis, abnormal (either increased or decreased) immunoglobulin M (IgM), IgG, and IgA values were observed in 58% of patients with CLL, 27% of patients with MBL, and 20% of patients with SLL. Immunoglobulin deviances were similar for MBL and CLL Rai stage 0 and for SLL and Rai stages I and II; for CLL, IgG and IgA abnormalities occurred with increasing frequency with advancing Rai stage. In contrast, the frequency of IgM abnormalities was similar in all patient groups. IgA abnormalities significantly correlated with high β2-microglobulin (B2M) expression, whereas abnormal IgG and IgA levels were associated with the use of IGHV1-69, 3-21, and 3-49 subtypes. Increases in IgG or IgM were commonly associated with the presence of a CLL-type M-band, whereas oligoclonal bands were frequently observed with increased IgA levels. Although abnormal levels of IgG and IgA at diagnosis were independent predictors for future immunoglobulin replacement, only abnormal IgA levels were associated with shorter time to first treatment and overall survival. These findings indicate that both reduced and elevated levels of IgG and IgA at diagnosis are important and independent prognostic markers for infection in CLL, with IgA being more relevant as a marker of disease progression and survival.
Pelvic side wall recurrence in locally advanced cervical carcinoma treated with definitive chemoradiation—clinical impact of pelvic wall dose
Authors: Gangopadhyay Aparna , Saha Subrata
Published: July 2019

Objective:

Pelvic side wall dose in locally advanced cervical carcinoma treated with definitive chemoradiation has been debated. The present study investigated relationship of disease recurrence with dose for the pelvic side wall. It also attempted to identify minimal dose that significantly reduced recurrence.

Methods:

Pelvic side wall recurrence at median 24 months was assessed clinically and radiologically across three groups of patients receiving variable pelvic wall doses using no parametrial boost, external beam or interstitial boost, or dose escalated combined external beam with interstitial boost.

Results:

At 24 months, recurrence occurred in 3/155 boost vs 40/130 no boost patients. (p < 0.0001). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated cut-off pelvic wall dose to be 58.9 Gy (p < 0.0001). Dose escalated combined boost showed no significant benefit compared to single modality parametrial boost (p = 0. 0.553).

Conclusion:

Mean pelvic wall dose of at least 58.9 Gy offers clinically significant benefit in pelvic wall control. Doses recommended by guidelines should be adhered to in the patients’ best interests.

Advances in knowledge:

This preliminary study determined a relationship between recurrence rates and dose to the pelvic side wall and also a cut-off dose that significantly improved pelvic wall control in locally advanced cervical cancer.

Published: July 2019

Spine metastatic disease is an increasingly common occurrence in cancer patients due to improved patient survival. Close proximity of the bony spinal column to the spinal cord limits many conventional treatments for metastatic disease. In the past decade, we have witnessed dramatic advancements in therapies, with improvements in surgical techniques and recent adoption of spine stereotactic radiotherapy techniques leading to improved patient outcomes. Multidisciplinary approaches to patient evaluation, treatment and follow-up are essential. Imaging plays an ever increasing role in disease detection, pre-treatment planning and assessment of patient outcomes. It is important for the radiologist to be familiar with imaging algorithms, best practices for surgery and/or radiotherapy and imaging findings in the post-treatment period that may indicate disease recurrence. In this review, we present a multidisciplinary discussion of spine metastases, with specific focus on pre-treatment imaging, planning, current treatment approaches, and post-treatment assessment.

Synonym is one of the most important linguistic phenomena in terms of the meanings of the words in terms of the impact of communication between people. Synonym issues were intertwined with the interest of scholars. They views differed, and their trends differed, including linguists, jurists, scholars and practitioners of Qur'anic sciences. For this, the learner must learn and know deeply about the synonyms in Arabic. This search of desktop research is a way of observing the various books. The results of the research are divided between supporters and opponents of the following: a team that agrees with tandem, but in tandem, a team that denies the existence of tandem in the language completely, a team that proves the tandem at all. The researcher is based on the existence of tandem in the Arabic language, but it is a tandem in the sense of convergence in meaning, on the basis that each word has a particular meaning and useful or special function in their use.

It can be concluded that there are several predictors of demographic factors that have different and significant levels of OCB, namely gender, employment status and years of service, while predictors of education level, career position status and marital status do not have significant differences.
Leadership Pesantren: Urgensi Pendidikan dalam Menyiapkan Pemimpin Bangsa Berkualitas dan Bermoral
Authors: Rodliyah Siti
Published: July 2019

People views on the role of education in pesantren has shifted over years. Previously, people thought that pesantren education was the second class. However, the profile of pesantren alumni and their contribution in various aspects of leadership in societies has proven that pesantren education contribute to nation development. People believe that pesantren is not an alternative education institution, but the major education provider to graduate well qualified human resources with leadership skill, as well as mastering both emotional and spiritual intelligent (ESQ). Besides essential to improve human development index of a country, ESQ is a pivotal element for a leader. This is in line with the argument of this paper that pesantren education even in this globalized era is able to produce the prospective leaders rich with relevant skills and intellectuality as well as deep understanding of  kitab kuning (yellow book) as the classical Islamic intellectual literature and tailor it with modern science and technology. In turn, pesantren is able to groom well qualified, dignified, and have strong morality of prospective leaders in the globalized era.

Published: July 2019

Prolactinomas are the most frequently observed pituitary adenomas (PAs), and 5%–18% tumors were resistant to the dopamine agonists (DAs). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) dysfunction play a key role in tumorigenesis. Agilent miRNA and an expression chip were used for six prolactinomas and three normal pituitary specimens. Differentially expressed genes were confirmed by RT-qPCR. The level of DDR1 and SAT1 was determined with tissue micro-array (TMA) and western blot. A MMQ cell line was used for functional experiments. We have identified 5-miRNA and 12 target gene signatures of prolactinomas through gene ontology analysis. miRNA-199a-5p was selected for experiments that integrated the results from prolactinomas specimens and a rat prolactinoma model induced by 17-b-estradiol. Tumors with low miRNA-199a-5p had a significantly invasive behavior and a higher tumor volume (p<0.05). DDR1 and SAT1, target genes of miRNA-199a-5p, had higher H-scores in the invasive group than those of the non-invasive group through TMA. An overexpression of miRNA-119a-5p suppressed the PRL secretion and the cell viability through upregulated the apoptosis level in MMQ cells (p<0.01). Furthermore, we found the target genes expression of DDR1 and SAT1 were affected by miRNA-199a-5p regardless of mRNA levels or protein levels. This study provided evidence that downregulation of miRNA-199a-5p may contribute to prolactinoma tumorigenesis.

Published: July 2019

Alfa-amylase inhibitors are used to reduce glucose absorption by suppressing carbohydrate digestion. The current study aimed to evaluate seven wild edible Palestinian plants’ hydrophilic and lipophilic fractions against porcine pancreatic α-amylase enzyme. The lipophilic fractions of Arum palaestinum, Malva sylvestris, Plantago major, Centaurea iberica, Cichorium endivia, Bituminaria bituminosa, Sisymbrium irio leaves were sequentially separated with a nonpolar solvent hexane, while the hydrophilic fractions of the studied plants were separated with polar solvents ethanol and water. The activity of α-amylase inhibition was carried out by using α-amylase porcine pancreatic enzyme and 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNSA) method as well as by using Acarbose as a positive control. Among the studied plant’s hydrophilic fractions, C. iberica and C. endivia have the highest porcine pancreatic α-amylase inhibitory effect with an IC50 value of 12.33 µg/mL and 9.96 µg/mL, respectively. In addition, among the studied plant’s lipophilic fractions, S. irio and A. palaestinum have the highest porcine pancreatic α-amylase inhibitory effect with an IC50 value of 7.72 µg/mL and 25.3 µg/mL, respectively. In fact, these revealed results were near the values of Acarbose. The hydrophilic fractions of M. sylvestris and the lipophilic fractions of P. major plants exhibit remarkable α-amylase inhibitory activity. Hence, these leaves have a potential for use as regular supplements also; further investigations are required to isolate pure pharmacological molecules and to design suitable pharmaceutical dosage forms with anti-diabetic activity.
Optimization method in material bodies cloaking with respect to static physical fields
Authors: Alekseev Gennady V. , Tereshko Dmitry A.
Published: July 2019

Inverse problems associated with designing cylindrical DC electrical cloaking shells are studied.
Using the optimization method, these inverse problems are reduced to corresponding control problems in which electrical conductivities play the role of passive controls.
Admissibility of the optimization method for solving inverse design problems is justified.
A numerical algorithm based on the particle swarm optimization is proposed, and the results of numerical experiments are discussed.
Optimization analysis shows that high cloaking efficiency of the shell can be achieved either using a highly anisotropic single-layer shell or using a multilayer shell with isotropic layers.
In the latter case, the resulting cloaking shell admits simple technological realization using natural materials.

Published: July 2019

Background

Recently, the QPLEX™ human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping kit (QuantaMatrix, Seoul, Korea), a Microdisk™ technology-based multiplex system, was developed to detect 32 HPV genotypes. We evaluated the analytical performance of this kit by conducting a comparison study, precision evaluation and interference testing.

Methods

A total of 1594 cervical swab specimens were used to compare the QPLEX™ HPV genotyping kit with other commercially available kits (GeneFinder HPV Liquid Bead MicroArray Genotype polymerase chain reaction [PCR] kit, Infopia, Seoul, Korea; PANArray™ HPV Genotyping Chip, PANAGENE, Daejeon, Korea). For the determination of precision, we evaluated four types of precision profiles: repeatability, lot-to-lot variability, operator-to-operator variability and site-to-site variability. In addition, interference tests were performed with various interferents.

Results

The results of the QPLEX™ HPV genotyping kit showed almost perfect agreement with the other commercially available HPV genotyping assays. The combined precision was acceptable. In addition, there was no tested interferent that affected the results of the QPLEX™ HPV genotyping kit.

Conclusions

The QPLEX™ HPV genotyping kit showed acceptable analytical performance in our study. This assay could be a suitable option for HPV genotyping in routine and follow-up tests.
Subjektivierungsfiguren genetischer Information

Published: July 2019

Die häufig auftretenden chronisch entzündlichen Darmerkrankungen (CED) Morbus Crohn und Colitis ulcerosa sind in den letzten Jahren von vorher prototypisch psychosomatischen Krankheiten zu teilweise genetisch erklärbaren Krankheiten umgedeutet und in ein biomedizinisches Paradigma genetischer Suszeptibilität eingeordnet worden. CED sind neben körperlichen Leiden auch mit sozialen Stigmata verbunden und schränken die Lebensqualität sowie die Lebenszufriedenheit von Betroffenen oft erheblich ein. In einer qualitativen Studie haben wir 57 semistrukturierte, teils narrative Interviews mit 42 PatientInnen und Angehörigen geführt und mit einem an der Grounded Theory sowie der Interpretativen Phänomenologischen Analyse orientierten Ansatz ausgewertet. Dieser Beitrag betrachtet das Material hinsichtlich der Frage, wie Betroffene und deren Familien der genetischen Erklärung von CED Sinn zuschreiben. Als einen Lebenskontext, der für diese Untersuchung besonders relevant ist, haben wir den Themenkreis Fortpflanzung / Schwangerschaft / Elternschaft identifiziert und vertieft untersucht.

Ergebnisse

Im Interviewmaterial konnten wir zwei idealtypische Wege (Sinnfiguren) der Subjektivierung genetischer Information erkennen: Die „leidgeprüften GendeterministInnen“ teilten uns mit, dass sie aufgrund der Feststellung von genetischen Faktoren für CED retrospektiv auf eigene Kinder eher verzichtet hätten. Die „selbstsorgenden GenrelativistInnen“ interpretierten hingegen die Genetik nicht im Modus eines (biologischen und sozialen) Schicksals, sondern im Modus von Wahrscheinlichkeiten und im Kontext von praktischer Lebensführung, die trotz Krankheit ein gelingendes Leben erlauben kann. Beiden Sinnfiguren ist gemein, dass – im Kontrast zu schweren monogenen Erbkrankheiten – nicht nur die Vererbung des körperlichen Leidens in das Nachdenken über das Für und Wider der Zeugung eines Kindes Eingang findet. Ferner werden die eigenen sozialen Erfahrungen mit der Krankheit und die mit ihr verbundenen sozialen Umstände in die Abwägung mit eingebunden. Inwieweit den genetischen Faktoren für CED der Charakter eines unabänderlichen Schicksals zu- oder abgesprochen wird, unterscheidet sich zwischen den beiden Sinnfiguren.
Inhaltsanalyse und Objektive Hermeneutik

Published: July 2019

Die Interaktionsforschung war lange Zeit ein Stiefkind der Bildungsforschung. Aktuell, vor allem auch seit der Publikation von Hattie (2008/2017), wird der Interaktionsforschung eine größere Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Im Bereich der Analyse von Interaktionen existieren unterschiedliche Verfahren. Eine wesentliche Fragestellung ist, wie sich die Bedeutung von sozialer Interaktion für Bildungsprozesse analysieren lässt und wie dabei die angewandte Methode unseren Blick auf den Gegenstand – die soziale Kooperation bzw. Interaktion – formt. Untersucht wird exemplarisch ein Fall aus dem Bereich der Frühpädagogik, für den schon ein Protokoll und ein auf inhaltsanalytisch-kategorisierendem Vorgehen beruhender Interpretationsvorschlag, bezogen auf die Bedeutung der Interaktion, vorliegt. Dieser nimmt für sich in Anspruch, zu gültigen Aussagen über eine Interaktionssituation zu kommen. Die Untersuchung desselben Falls erfolgt vergleichend mittels Objektiver Hermeneutik. Im Vergleich beider Verfahren wird ersichtlich, welche Gemeinsamkeiten und Differenzen bezogen auf Methode und generierte Hypothesen auftreten und wie sich die jeweilige Methodik auf die gewonnene Erkenntnis auswirkt; auch Forschungsdesiderata lassen sich ermitteln. Es lassen sich schließlich verallgemeinernd Schlüsse bezüglich der Analyse und der Bedeutung von Interaktionen ziehen.
Hidden in Heart Failure
Authors: Cannie Douglas Ewan , Akhtar Mohammed Majid , Elliott Perry
Published: July 2019

Current diagnostic strategies fail to illuminate the presence of rare disease in the heart failure population. One-third of heart failure patients are categorised as suffering an idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, while others are labelled only as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Those affected frequently suffer from delays in diagnosis, which can have a significant impact on quality of life and prognosis. Traditional rhetoric argues that delineation of this patient population is superfluous to treatment, as elucidation of aetiology will not lead to a deviation from standard management protocols. This article emphasises the importance of identifying genetic, inflammatory and infiltrative causes of heart failure to enable patients to access tailored management strategies.
Diagnostic Approach to Patients with Stable Angina and No Obstructive Coronary Arteries
Authors: Lanza Gaetano Antonio
Published: July 2019

The diagnosis of microvascular angina (MVA) is usually considered in patients presenting with angina symptoms and evidence of MI on non-invasive stress tests but normal coronary arteries at angiography. A definitive diagnosis of MVA, however, would require the presence of coronary microvascular dysfunction. Several invasive (e.g. intracoronary Doppler wire recording and thermodilution) and non-invasive (e.g. PET, cardiac MRI, transthoracic Doppler echocardiography) methods can be applied to obtain a diagnosis. Both endothelium- dependent and -independent coronary microvascular dilator function, as well as increased microvascular constrictor activity, should be investigated. The main issues in the assessment of clinical and diagnostic findings in patients with suspected MVA are discussed and a diagnostic approach is suggested.

Published: July 2019

The artificial neural networks (ANN) for the psycho-diagnostics data analyzing is used. It is shown that the training of a simple ANN of direct propagation, as the problem of nonlinear multi-parameter optimization, allows to carry out the vertical system analysis and to assess the latent, non-linear relationship between different level’s psychological characteristics (the system of relationships, motivational characteristics, personality traits, intelligence, the type of nervous system). The detection of such links using the traditional for psychology the correlative ore factor analysis is difficult. Quantitative criteria are proposed for evaluating the quality of ANN algorithms, which are based on a scattering diagram and the statistical distribution of errors in the learning and testing of a neural network. As an example, the data of psycho-diagnostics of younger adolescents are analyzed. The proposed algorithms and criteria made it possible to detect latent links between psychological characteristics, to evaluate the ratio of psychological level-based indicators.

Use of the average age ratio method in analyzing age heaping in censuses: The case of China
Authors: Gu Danan , Feng Qiushi
Published: July 2019

Based on the methods of the average period age ratio and the average cohort age ratio, this study systematically assesses age heaping or digit preference in all population censuses of China. Our study finds that the overall age heaping was relatively low in the Chinese censuses; however, there was a notable preference for ages ending with zero after age 50 in the first two censuses, despite a weakening trend over time. Our study further shows that age heaping in China’s censuses is likely associated with age-related policies such as those on late marriage and retirement. As shown in the study, the average age ratio method can be an alternative of the Whipple’s Index and be improved if the size of birth cohort was taken into account when the number of births is generally reliable.

Published: July 2019

Institutions seek out the best teachers, because quality teaching is an important factor in student achievement. It is related to the knowledge, beliefs, attitudes and dispositions that teachers bring into their profession. The South East European University strives for the highest quality in every faculty and department and sees quality improvement as an individual and collective responsibility. The university supports effective staff performance through announced and unannounced observations, student and staff evaluations, and internal and external opportunities for professional development and training. This study explores teacher and student perspectives on issues related to the teacherâ€™s effectiveness, role and impact on student achievement. Language teachers are found to encourage interaction in the classroom, have a positive attitude towards changes and are open to new teaching situations. Based on the observations, quality teaching depends on knowledge of subject matter and teaching skillsâ€”factors that have a positive impact on studentsâ€™ academic achievement.

Se afirma que las acusaciones  de corrupción se hicieron en distintos momentos de su ejercicio como tesorero y las razones fueron siempre las mismas: el uso indebido de los derechos del rey, es decir los quintos y el señoreaje. Para resolver estas acusaciones, la Audiencia y el Consejo de Indias comisionaron visitas a la Casa de la Moneda, pero los resultados siempre fueron favorables a de Vergara y Azcárate. Algunas prácticas institucionales constantes que se manejaban en los reinos americanos influyeron en la corrupción: muchos años en cargos semejantes, poca vigilancia y demasiado poder entregado a un solo oficial cuyo cargo había sido comprado. Metodológicamente se procedió a partir de un estudio de caso con el fin de mostrar las formas que influyeron en el irregular manejo de la Casa de la Moneda de Santafé, los efectos que tuvo y la corrupción durante gran parte del siglo XVII.

Objetivou-se com o trabalho estimar os resultados econômicos de diferentes híbridos de milho, no Estado do Tocantins. Os experimentos foram realizados em seis ambientes, os quais foram constituídos pela combinação entre município, data de semeadura e dose de adubação nitrogenada em cobertura. O delineamento experimental em cada ambiente foi o de blocos ao acaso, posteriormente, seus componentes foram analisados de forma conjunta (diferenciando os ambientes), mediante análise de variância. Para aanálise econômica foi considerado para efeito de cálculo, os custos com insumos, maquinários, mão-de-obra, e outros itens envolvidos direta/indiretamente no processo produtivo, variando apenas o custo relativo a sementes e adubação nitrogenada. As produções de grãos obtidas em cada parcela determinaram à obtenção do resultado líquido. Na média, excetuando-se o híbrido simples modificado, o melhor híbrido de cada tipo foi classificado no grupo estatístico superior, sem diferença estatística entre eles, com médias de 2160 kg.ha-1 (melhor híbrido simples), 1915 kg.ha-1 (melhor híbrido duplo) e 2370 kg.ha-1 (melhor híbrido triplo). Os melhores híbridos simples, triplos e duplos apresentaram em média, adequada rentabilidade nas condições experimentais da presente pesquisa.

Coral reefs and seagrass are natural fortress for small islands from waves and ocean currents. The spatial distribution of these benthic substrate should be known and monitored regularly. This study aims were to map existing benthic substrates on the reef flat of Bontosua Island, determine the spatial composition and develop index ratio. Benthic substrates were surveyed using geotagging technique. Their distribution were estimate using Quickbird image that was rectified and classified using ISOcluster method and validate by 240 selected photos. The seagrass were surveyed at 8 stasions to record percent cover and species composition. Depth profiles were track along 10 reef flat line segment. Bontosua Island has an elongated shape from South to Northwest. This study had produced a benthic substrate distribution map with thematic accuracy 76%. Total area able to map were 54.2 hectares. About 43% benthic substrates at Bontosua were mixture of coral rubble, seagrass and algae, 20% was mixture of rubble and algae, 16% dominated by seagrass, 13% mixture of sand and seagrass and 8% substrate were dominated by live coral. There were eight seagrass species found with average percent cover 37.2 ± 12.5 percent. The spatial ratio of live coral, seagrass and mixed substrate for West side reef flat was 2:20:49 and 1:9:9 for East side. This indicate that the distribution of benthic substrates on the West side is much wider than on the East side. This approach potentially applied to study the relationship between benthic substrate composition and the deformation of small islands.
