Published: January 2021

ABSTRACT. This study is performed to investigate the characteristics of intrusive andesite rock consisting of Kalirejo Road Side Slope located in Kulon Progo Mountains. The rocks consisting the slope are identified by visual observation of hand specimens in the field, petrographic and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analyses of the rock samples in the laboratory, upon which genetic rock classification is determined. The altered rock types are determined by the presence of specific minerals identified in the petrographic and XRD analyses. The alteration intensity is examined by comparing the amount of secondary minerals to the primary minerals observed in the petrographic and XRD analyses. The developments of rock weathering are determined in the field GSI classification based on the visual characteristics and in the laboratory-based on the Chemical Index of Alteration (CIA) and engineering properties of the altered rocks. The results show that the rocks typically consisted of 33.2 to 59.2% plagioclase, 1.4 to 5.1% quartz, therefore, are classified as andesite. The presence of halloysite, montmorillonite, and kaolinite as secondary minerals in the altered andesite indicated that the parent andesite rocks have undergone argillic alteration. Meanwhile, the percentages of primary minerals to secondary minerals indicate that the andesite rocks have undergone moderate to high alteration intensity. Based on the visual characteristics, the research area consisted of fresh, slight weathered andesite rocks and complete weathered residual soil. The CIA values of the samples are increased with the increase in rock weathering. Identification of visual characteristics of rock weathering appeared to be in good agreement with those classified based on the CIA and engineering properties analysis results. The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rocks and soils is determined by point load tests. Engineering properties of the residual soils are performed by using ASTM standard procedures. In the lower part of the roadside, slope consists of fresh and slightly weathered andesite rocks, which have relatively high strength and are classified as medium strong rocks. Meanwhile, the upper part of the slope profile contained completely weathered residual soil, which had very low compressive strength, are classified as very weak soil.Keywords:  andesite, argillic alteration, Geological Strength Index (GSI), hydrothermal alteration, roadside slope, weathering

Authors: Abd Karim Amirul Aiman , Wilopo Wahyu , Budi Indrawan I Gde , Adriansyah Yan
Published: January 2021

The safety of the employees is essential in the mining activity area. Thus, the sloping wall of the pit needs to evaluate from time to time to avoid any loss due to landslide. One of the essential parameters to lead to slope failure is groundwater. Therefore, this paper highlights the limitations of the groundwater for the existing slope mine by analyzing it for several groundwater levels until it reached a safety factor below 1.2. The analysis was done using a finite element method for slope stability and finite element analysis for groundwater seepage for groundwater modeling. The results show that the safety factor of the slope showing a linearly decreasing trend and safety factor reached below 1.2 when 70 m increment in groundwater level from the original groundwater level model.
PETROGRAPHY AND GEOCHEMISTRY OF METASEDIMENTARY ROCKS FROM THE TAKU SCHIST IN KELANTAN, NORTH-EAST PENINSULAR MALAYSIA.
Authors: Ahmad Aminuddin Muhammad Irman Khalif Bin , Imam Setiawan Nugroho , Warmada I Wayan , Ariffin Kamar Shah , Yonezu Kotaro
Published: January 2021

The Taku Schist, which is located in the north-east Peninsular Malaysia, is characterized by its North-South oriented elongated body. It forms part of the Indonesian orogenic build-up that was generated via the convergence of the Sibumasu continental unit and Sukhothai Arc. Subsequent petrography analyses of the metasedimentary rocks sourced from the Taku Schist revealed that their formation was attributable to the metamorphism of greenschist into amphibolite facies, which could be observed near the Triassic and Cretaceous intrusions of the Kemahang Granite. The evolutionary process of the rocks could be linked with the interactions occurring between contact and regional metamorphisms. The resulting chemical classification upon their assessment disclosed that the metasedimentary rocks of Taku Schist were made up of greywacke and shale, grouped into the quartzose sedimentary provenance, and belonged to the Continental Island Arc (CIA). This information is required for the tectonic setting discrimination purpose. It is a reflection of the episodic contractions underwent by the Taku Schist, wherein they would lead to the Sibumasu sedimentary cover along with both an accretionary wedge and the genetically-correlated Bentong-Raub melange to different greenschist. Otherwise associated with amphibolite facies, the conditions and depths of the facies were determined according to their position in relation to the upper plate of the Sukhothai Arc.

Published: January 2021

Introduction.The article deals with the main problems of rural diversity in Kalmykia based on a sociological study conducted in may-August 2019 in nine districts of the republic. One of the research tasks is aimed at determining the main economic structures in the modern villages of the region. The purpose of the article is to introduce the results of a mass questionnaire survey into scientific circulation. Results. The mass questionnaire survey allowed us to clarify the factors that influence various agricultural practices, the specific features of rural space, when the usual forms of management disappear and new outlines of the village appear. Personal subsidiary farm is an important source of income for the family. Half of the respondents will not change the intensity of work in their farmstead and are ready to expand it with an increase in wages and other social benefits. The author of the article using the self-esteem of villagers determined the marketability/non-marketability of family farms, entrepreneurial activity of smallholders, the presence/lack of motivation of the rural population to the maintenance of peasant farms (KFH). Diversity, types of employment in various fields, and income levels of the rural population determine the main changes in rural life. The results of the study revealed the most important problems of rural residents: lack of jobs, financial opportunities for farm development, availability of state support for farmers.

Published: January 2021

In the oral traditions of Mongols there are a lot of legends and stories not only about Genghis Khan and the period of Mongolian Yuan dynasty, but also about the first emperor of the succeeding Ming dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang (1368–1398). These stories, first of all, tell that Zhu Yuanzhang was not of the noble origin, he was the son of a common man and became the king by good fortune. Secondly, they state that the Ming dynasty emperors were Mongols by their origin. Thirdly, all these stories and legends in their form and content are typical for Mongolian folklore. The goal of this article is to introduce the plot and themes of the Mongolian historic legends and stories about the Ming dynasty emperors. Most of the texts of legends and stories were recorded by the author from Agvanchoidor (they were included into the book “The Oral History of Mongolian-Tibetan Buddhism”) and also from other informants during expeditions.

Published: January 2021

Indian collections of “framed stories” were well-known to Kalmyks and were widely popular. In the Kalmyk old script literature the most widespread manuscript was the collection of stories “The Magic Dead”. There are two editions of the text. The concise edition of the collection consists of a framed plot and thirteen stories and the full edition consists of a framed narrative and twenty six stories. The concise version of the Kalmyk framed collection was first published in 1804 in German translation by B. Bergman. In 1864, K. F. Golstunskiy published “The Magic Dead” in ‘clear script’. In 1866, B.Yulgi published another version of the text in ‘clear script’ and with German translation. In 1927, the representatives of Kalmyk emigration published “The Kalmyk Anthology” which included the concise edition of “The Magic Dead”. The Russian translation of the full edition of the collection of twenty six stories was first published by B. Ya. Vladimirtsov. However, the collection manuscript in ‘clear script’ was lost. It became known nowadays that the full edition of the collection was preserved among Oirats in Sinkiang.

Authors: Karlyukevich Aleksandr N. , Khaninova Rimma M. ,   Kalmyk Scientific Center of the RAS
Published: January 2021

The article describes the Kalmyk – Belorussian literary ties that started in September 1940 when the writers from Belarus Philip Pestrak and Maksim Tank participated in the celebration of 500th anniversary of the Kalmyk heroic epos Jangar. These contacts actively developed at the end of 1950s due to the initiative of the poet from Belarus Petrusya Brovka and a Kalmyk writer Mikhail Khaninov. The publications of works and translations of Kalmyk and Belorussian writers appeared in the press of both republics, Kalmyk translations of the poems by the classics of Belorussian poetry Yanka Kupala and Yakub Kolas were published in Elista, Belorussian translation of the poems by Mikhail Khaninov and David Kugultinov were published in Minsk, literary evenings were organized. The succession of generation in 1980s led to a thirty year break in this dialogue of culture which was reestablished in the new millennium on the Post-Soviet space. The publication exchange, new translations of the poetry, prose and drama, participation in the book exhibitions, “A Writer and the Time” symposium, ‘round tables’ contribute to the activation of the creative powers of both nations.
События Гражданской войны в рассказах калмыцкого писателя-эмигранта С. Балыкова
Authors:   Kalmyk Scientific Center of the RAS, Topalova Delgir Yu.
Published: January 2021

The article analyzes the Civil War theme in the work of emigrant writer Sanzha Balykov based on the example of a number of works. Updating the documentary beginning in the works, the author projects the main points of the emergence of Kalmyk emigration, builds the entire historical background of the forced mass exodus of Kalmyks abroad. The stories of S. Balykov are a reliable historical document describing the complex “time-space” of Kalmyk history. Both the narrative as a whole and the image of the heroes of the stories embody the dramatic fate of the nation, the universal calamity that is obviously inseparable from the fate of the writer himself. The author’s achievement is that, having shown the tragedy and fate of the Kalmyk people in a completely different light, he “transformed” his previous views on the events of history that have not been described in Kalmyk fiction before him

Authors:   People’s Friendship University of Russia (RUDN), Bavaeva Olga K.
Published: January 2021

The article focuses on the poems of David Nikitich Kugultinov from the collection “Shүүһәd barlsn shүlgүd” published in 1971. A lot of researchers and admirers of David Kugultinov point out the amazing picturesqueness and corporealness of his poetry. The analysis of several poems showed that the distinctive feature of these works lies in the use of unanticipated, author’s substantive and other combinations. Imagery and richness of the poems are created by the use of different metaphors and similes. A special expressiveness and sensibility is achieved through semantic mobilization when all the lexical meanings are activated simultaneously. Ethno-specific tone and images give a distinctive Kalmyk flair to the author’s idea.

Автопортрет и Будда Ваджрасаттва у Дзанабазара
Authors:   Institute of Oriental Studies of the RAS, Syrtypova Surun-Khanda D.
Published: January 2021

Introduction. Jebtsundamba Khutuktu Öndör Gegeen Zanabazar was Mongolia’s first ruler to hold both secular and spiritual power. In the late 17th century, the country witnessed dramatic internecine wars, and his overriding goal was to unify the nation and increase the educational level. Virtually all his self-portraits discovered depict Zanabazar as a real priest with iconographic markers of Buddha Vajrasattva. The selected Buddhist symbol is supposed to deliver a deepest nonverbal sermon and mysterious testament of the prominent Buddhist master. Goals. The paper seeks to further reveal, examine, and describe objects of artistic heritage authored by Öndör Gegeen Zanabazar and currently stored in state, public, administrative, and private collections of Mongolia and Russia. Results. The work is a first attempt to examine Zanabazar’s self-portraits — both sculptural and graphic ones (including tiny elements of different thangkas) — in their structural unity in the context of his meditative practices. The descriptions of the pictures compiled with due regard of Buddha Vajrasattva-related tantric texts and facts of Öndör Gegeen’s biography may be viewed as sources for historical and art studies in Vajrayana Buddhism. The analysis of textual and graphic materials attempts to interpret Zanabazar’s unique position as both a spiritual and Buddhist arts master.
Особенности почерка и орфографии текста «Сутры Белого старца» (шифр В 228(1)) из собрания Института восточных рукописей РАН
Authors:   Institute of Oriental Manuscripts of the RAS, Yakhontova Natalia S.
Published: January 2021

Introduction. The manuscript of The Sutra of the White Old Man — call no. B 228(1) — in the collection of the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts (RAS) is written in the Oirat Clear Script. The manuscript was compiled during the period when the traditional rules of graphics and spelling were strongly influenced by the spoken language. Goals. The article aims at eliciting special features of the handwriting and spelling of this particular text of the Sutra. Results. If compared to the classical rules, the changes traced in the text affected both the graphics (letters and diacritic signs) and spelling of words. The spelling patterns in the manuscript reflect (although inconsistently and irregularly) some phonetic processes that took place in the spoken language, such as the development of diphthongs into long vowels, assimilation, insertion and reduction of vowels. The sign ‘udan’ denoting long vowels is used in the text only occasionally, and reduplication of labial vowels in the same function is only preserved in monosyllabic words and final syllables. The author speculates that the ‘udan’ sign could have lost its meaning to become a decorative element of the handwriting in certain positions. The paper transliterates the text and publishes a facsimile of the manuscript.
Эмотивные глаголы в калмыцком героическом эпосе «Джангар»

Published: January 2021

Introduction. In modern linguistics much attention is paid to the study of national/cultural features of functioning and semantics of emotive vocabulary. Still, Kalmyk emotive vocabulary has been no subject to any special research. Goals. The paper seeks to identify and classify lexicalsemantic groups of emotive verbs in texts of the Jangar epic, analyze functioning patterns of verbs denoting ‘basic’ emotions, namely: joy (Kalm. җирһх ‘be happy blissful’, байрлх ‘rejoice’), fear (әәх ‘be afraid, frightened, have a dread of, fear’, ичх ‘be ashamed, embarrassed’), and one verb of external (physical) manifestation of emotions (инәх ‘laugh’). Materials. The study analyzes emotive verbs traced in 28 Jangar texts recorded at different times (occasions) and either included in repertory cycles or once recited as separate songs. Results. The study reveals emotive verbs of the epic can be divided into six lexical and semantic groups. So, ‘verbs of negative emotional states’ are more frequently used than ‘verbs of positive emotional states’. The latter are represented by two verbs, the verb җирһх definitely dominates throughout narratives examined, reflecting the state of utmost happiness that consists in peace, tranquility and well-being of the blessed Bumba in general; the verb байрлх is used to denote the short-term emotional state of joy of a particular character. As for ‘verbs of negative emotional states’, the verb әәх prevails in frequency. And it is revealed that the emotion of fear may occur for a number of reasons as follows: fear of failure to execute an order of the Bogdo; fear of breaking an oath; fear of name shaming. The paper observes only scarce cases of the use of verbs naming emotions of sadness (энлх), embarrassment (эмәх), and vexation (һундх). The analyzed epic texts contain no emotive verbs that belong to semantic groups of fascination, love and hatred, worship or self-abasement.

Introduction. The rules of road culture developed over centuries have always occupied an important place in the traditional worldview and everyday life of Bashkirs. The phenomenon of road culture and travel among Bashkirs has remained understudied, and this article serves to eliminate the existing gap to some extent and introduce new data into scientific discourse. Goals. The paper seeks to systematize materials dealing with the Bashkir traditional road culture and consider its functional / semiotic components believed instrumental in overcoming travel-related obstacles. Materials and Methods. The study focuses on reports and materials by participants of 18th-century academic expeditions (I. I. Lepekhin, P. S. Pallas, etc.), subsequent ethnographic works, Bashkir folklore narratives, and recent field materials collected in various regions of Bashkortostan. Chronologically, the study covers the period between the 18th and early 20th centuries. Results. The paper shows that movement through space — travel — among the Bashkirs had not only practical but also metaphysical properties, since the traveler is believed to be simultaneously advancing both across the real and the other worlds. So, security is suggested to depend on both physical and magical actions, as well as sympathies of spirits or ‘masters’ of various natural objects. The traditional Bashkir society has developed a specific road culture that aimed to resist, avert diverse threats. In olden days, travels were seen as a male domain (hunting, military service, fishing, study, trade trips, pilgrimages, etc.). The article discusses the traditional pre-travel and farewell practices, customs that were to be observed en route, rituals supposed to guarantee a traveler’s return, etc. Conclusions. The Bashkir road culture is a complex, open, and evolving system. ‘Path’ and ‘road’ in traditional representations of Bashkirs were essentially sacral symbols.
У каждого своя Сибирь. Годы войны и депортации в монологах Л. Т. Дорджиева и Е. С. Басановой
Authors:   Kalmyk Scientific Center of the RAS, Guchinova Elza-Bair M.
Published: January 2021

Introduction. The publication highlights a special period in the history of Kalmykia still insufficiently studied by anthropologists ― that of the Great Patriotic War and nation’s deportation to Siberia (1943–1956) ― introducing memories and narratives thereof. It consists of an introduction, two interviews, commentaries, and a bibliography. The presented narratives belong to individuals who had met the trials of deportation with different life experiences: front-line soldier, Lieutenant L. T. Dordzhiev ― and Elista schoolgirl, daughter of the front-line soldier E. S. Basanova. Goals. The paper seeks to identify and clarify the meanings of everyday practices, details of life that were vital for the generation of our fathers and mothers, so that they remain understandable to the generation of children and grandchildren. Another goal is to understand what construction patterns in deportation narratives can be traced, what images and plots are significant, what verbal formulas and stable expressions are used by storytellers in spontaneous narration, and what assessments of past events and what expressions they give. Materials and Methods. Both the interviews will be explored through narrative analysis. The materials are presented in the form of transcribed spontaneous interviews received by the author from L. Dordzhiev in 2005, and from E. Basanova in 2018. Textological analysis and the method of text deconstruction were employed. Results. The front-line experience of L. Dordzhiev is interesting enough not only for his individual but for his collectivist strategy too, as well as for his participation in Operation Lentil (Russ. Chechevitsa). Male strategies of resistance to a repressive regime show legal literacy and the ability to speak Bolshevik (S. Kotkin) as means of self-defense, as well as a willingness to defend their dignity physically. The woman’s interview shows how the generation of Kalmyk children indoctrinated by Soviet ideology had to live with the values of Soviet society and loyalty to Kalmyk identity. Both the interviews are concrete examples of private memories of the war and deportation years ― first-person memories. The interview texts will be of interest to all researchers of the Kalmyk Deportation and memory of this period. The discursive strategies of these two narratives speak of their positive nature (J. Alexander).

Published: January 2021

This article identifies and analyzes the priority ways of naming the trade organizations of Chelyabinsk and Heihe cities in the zone of cross-border economic cooperation between China and Russia. The typology of the names of shops and other enterprises providing goods and services shows ethnic and cultural features that manifest themselves in the modern language space of the two countries. A large variety of organization names was found in Chelyabinsk city: single words (including complex ones) both Russian and foreign, word groups consisting of Russian and foreign words, abbreviations as well as words with non-traditional spelling and unclear meaning. Six types of naming were found in Heihe city: words with positive connotations, words pointing to the major function of an organization, names containing a company’s location, words including the owner’s name, unsuitable names and samples of erroneous translation. The first 4 can be considered strategic ways of naming as far as they help promote companies that they name on the market of goods and services and play a considerable role in forming potential customers loyalty.

Published: January 2021

Introduction: Assessing the risk of undernutrition in hypertensive diabetics is essential. It makes it possible to detect undernutrition for better care. The objective of our study is to describe the factors influencing this undernutrition.

Methods: A descriptive study was conducted on a sample of 366 diabetics with hypertension and 326 with normo-glycemic hypertension aged 50 years and over. Patients were enrolled at the University Hospital in Tlemcen from January to June 2018. The data collection was carried out using a questionnaire: The MNA (The Mini Nutritional Assessment).

Results: The study made it possible to establish the profile of subjects at high risk of undernutrition. In our sample, age was not correlated with risk of malnutrition in diabetic hypertensives and normo-glycemic hypertensives respectively (p = 0.304 and p = 0.444). The linear regression model uses gender as an age-independent factor that affects the risk of undernutrition (p = 0.001). BMI was one of the most relevant variables for predicting the occurrence of undernutrition (p = 0.000). Thus, diabetic hypertensive patients in our study who were treated with an Angiotensin II receptor blockers , an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition or an ARB/diuretic combination were more at risk of undernutrition (p = 0.009, p = 0.026 and p = 0.013).

Conclusion: Particular attention should be paid to diabetic hypertensive subject.  The treatment of hypertension in diabetics aggravates this malnutrition. Thus, a nutritional status assessment should be established in any diabetic hypertensive patient allowing appropriate therapeutic management to avoid all complications associated with undernutrition.

Authors: Patel Dhaval M. , Trivedi Riddhi , Patel Hardik
Published: January 2021

The objective of the present study was to develop and evaluate bi-layer tablets of Ketorolac tromethamine, a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug with short half-life, that are characterized by initial burst drug release in the stomach and comply with the release requirements of sustained-release products. Each of the proposed bi-layer tablets is composed of an immediate-release layer and a sustained-release layer, anticipating rapid drug release that starts in the stomach to rapidly alleviate the symptoms and continues in the intestine to maintain protracted analgesic effect. Gastro retentive Bi-Layer tablets of Ketorolac Tromethamine were prepared by using hydrophilic polymers with direct compression on floating – matrix technology and evaluated. Ketorolac tromethamine is freely soluble in water, so it is suitable to develop it as gastro retentive bi-layer tablets using hydrophilic polymers. The developed formulation is equivalent to calculated theoretical drug profile in view of its in vitro release. Immediate release layer was prepared by using dry granulation method in which ac-di sol used as a disintigrant for immediate release of drug. Sustained release layer formulated by using HPMC as release retardant, two grades of HPMC that are HPMC K4M and HPMC K100M used to get sustained release profile for 24 hr. Various trial batches are taken to get desired release profile. Ketorolac tromethamine release from the developed floating formulation followed Higuchi model and nonFickian diffusion is found to be the main mechanism of drug release. The manufacturing procedure was found to be reproducible and formulations were stable after one month of stability studies.

Keywords: FTIR; Gastro retentive bilayer; ketorolac tromethamine; in vitro release; stability; higuchi.
A Systematic Review on Lamotrigine Induced Skin Rashes
Authors: Anwar T.T. Muhammed , Faris P.P. Muhamed , Thansiha ,
Published: January 2021

Lamotrigine is a newer anti-epileptic drug synthesised in 1980s and approved by USFDA in 1994. It is mainly used for treating paediatric epilepsy and one of the frequently prescribing newer anti- epileptic drugs in European countries. In English scenario, lamotrigine is suggested as monotherapy for recently identified partial seizures (localized seizure) in children as its first line drug. Lamotrigine is recommended for generalized seizures as second line drug and as add on therapy in intractable generalized epilepsy. It is a treatment option after sodium valproate and ethosuximide for petit-mal epilepsy. It can be used as either single or in combination with other anti-epileptic drugs. It has lot of adverse effects like other anti-epileptic drugs. Major adverse effect associated with lamotrigine is skin rashes in newly administered patients up to 8 weeks. About 3-10 % of the patients experience skin rashes in their therapy with lamotrigine. Lamotrigine doses should be titrated properly in combination with other anti-epileptic drugs especially with valproic acid. Other less common adverse effects with lamotrigine include dizziness, ataxia, blurred vision, headache, nausea and diplopia. Moreover, lamotrigine has a safe drug profile and effective in both children and adults for the treatment of various types of seizures. The dose escalation should be monitored regularly to avoid serious adverse reactions.

Published: January 2021

Purpose: To observe and describe the stiffness changes of the optic
nerve in the patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) with or without optic
neuritis and healthy adults via shear wave elastography (SWE). Methods:
Seventy optic nerves from thirty-five patients with MS and sixty optic
nerves from thirty healthy subjects were included prospectively in the
study. The optic nerve (ON), optic disc (OD), and perineural area were
evaluated with SWE and optic nerve sheat diameter (ONSD) was measured by
ultrasound. Results The mean age of patients was 39.68 ± 9.99 years.
There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in
terms of ONSD, SWE ON, SWE OD, and SWE perineural area levels
(p> 0.05). In the MS group; No statistically significant
difference was found between patients with and without optic neuritis
for the mean age, gender distribution, duration of MS, types of MS,
ONSD, SWE ON, SWE OD, SWE perineural area, and Expanded Disability
Status Scale (EDSS) scores (p> 0.05). No statistically
significant difference in terms of ONSD, SWE ON, SWE OD, and SWE
perineural area between the MS patients with or without optic neuritis
and the control group (p> 0.05). Conclusion: Shear wave
elastography measurements of the optic nerve, optic disc, and perineural
area do not contribute to the evaluation of optic neuritis in a patient
with MS.

Published: January 2021

Cardiovascular disturbances are the leading causes of morbidity and
mortality in patients of spinal cord particularly cervical cord injury
accounting for approximately 30% of deaths. Most common cardiovascular
dysfunctions are sinus bradycardia, hypotension, cardiac arrest,
supraventricular tachycardia and all these occurs due to sympathetic
withdrawal and unopposed vagal action. Here we are reporting a case of
acute cervical cord injury with neurogenic shock in a 25 year young
patient who developed polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, which
degenerated to ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest. We described
all possible mechanisms of development this arrythmia and its
management.

Background The maturation of innate immune responses in health and atopy
is still incompletely understood. Methods We aimed to evaluate
age-related trajectories of the TLR3 and TLR7/8 pathways across the
lifespan and whether these differ between healthy and atopic
individuals. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated
from 39 otherwise healthy atopic and 39 non-atopic subjects, aged 0-45
years. Selected cytokines involved in antiviral responses were measured
by Luminex in culture supernatants of poly(I:C)- and R848-stimulated
PBMCs. The non-parametric correlation between age and cytokine
expression and differences in developmental trajectories between healthy
and atopic were estimated. Patterns of cytokine development were
identified with principal component analysis. Results Normal innate
immune maturation entails significant and progressive age-related
changes in the production of IL-1β, TNF-α, MIP-1β, MCP-3, IP-10, IL-10,
IL-12p70 and IFN-γ upon TLR3 and/or TLR7/8 stimulation. Individual
cytokines made small contributions to the observed variability;
chemokines MCP-3 and IP-10 were key contributors. The development of
these pathways deviated in atopic subjects with significant differences
observed in the trajectories of IL-1β, MIP-1β and IL-10 synthesis.
Conclusion TLR3 and TLR7/8 pathways mature during childhood, while atopy
is associated with an abnormal maturation pattern. Suboptimal responses
in Th1, inflammatory cytokine and chemokine production may be implicated
in poor antiviral immunity in atopics, while deficient maturation of
IL-10 producing capacity in the breaking of tolerance.
Lactate Control Enhances Growth Advantage in Fed-batch Cultures of Metabolically Engineered CHO Cells with Reduced Novel Growth-inhibitory Compound Formation
Authors: Bethune Quentin , Harrington Cameron , Mulukutla Bhanu
Published: January 2021

CHO cells have been recently shown to produce amino acid catabolism
derived byproducts, which accumulate in fed-batch cultures to
growth-inhibitory levels. Residual amino acid limitation or genetic
engineering strategies have been successfully employed to suppress
production of these novel growth inhibitory metabolic byproducts.
However, the growth advantage attained due to suppression of these
metabolic byproducts in fed-batch cultures is more pronounced when
lactate accumulation is also controlled. BCAT1 knock-out (KO) CHO cells,
which produce negligible levels of the metabolic byproducts isovalerate,
isobutyrate and 2-methylbutyrate, grow to significantly higher peak cell
densities in fed-batch cultures with lactate control (HiPDOG) as
compared to cultures without lactate control. Henceforth, strategies
involving novel metabolic byproduct control should preferably include
lactate control to more easily assess the enhanced cell growth and
productivities attainable.

Published: January 2021

Background: Iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient deficiency
affecting nearly one-third of the population and is the leading cause of
anemia worldwide. n this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of
ferrous gluconate and ferrous sulfate supplements to identify the best
iron supplement with the most effective and the least side effects in
toddlers 6-24 months old. Methods: A randomized, single-blind clinical
trial was performed. A total of 120 healthy toddlers aged 6 to 24 months
old (two groups of 60) entered the study. Toddlers receiving ferrous
sulfate (FS group) and ferrous gluconate (FG group) supplements. Blood
indices such as hemoglobin & ferritin levels were evaluated at baseline
and 6 months post- supplementation. Results: The FG group that received
ferrous gluconate chelate iron showed approximately 2.4 g/dl higher Hb
level in comparison to the FS group with ferrous sulfate supplementation
6 months post-supplementation (12.51±0.58 g/dL vs. 10.10±0.83, p =
0.045). Side effects were significantly more common in the FS group than
the FG group (43.3 % vs. 16.7 %, P ≤ 0.001. Conclusion: The present
study shows that educating mothers to feed toddlers with breast milk and
iron supplements, including ferrous sulfate and ferrous gluconate, can
be helpful in the prophylaxis of iron deficiency. Our results show that
ferrous gluconate can be used in cases where ferrous sulfate causes
unacceptable side effects.
The impact of enological products for tartaric stabilization on wine filterability
Authors: Puskas Vladimir , Miljic Uros , Vucurovic Vesna
Published: January 2021

The aim of this research was to evaluate the impact of the most commonly used agents for tartaric stabilization of wine, such as metatartaric acid, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), mannoproteins and gum arabic, on the filterability of white, ros? and red wines previously pre-filtered and prepared for the final filtration and bottling. Wine filterability after sweetening with rectified concentrated must was also assessed. The experiments were carried out using the Quality Filterability Test and the obtained results were expressed through the filterability index (FI), and maximum filterable volume (Vmax). The results confirmed that the used enological agents for the inhibition of tartaric instabilities generally did not worsen the filterability of white and ros? wines (FI<20). However, it was evident that products containing mannoproteins and metatartaric acid considerably reduced red wine filterability (FI>500). The correlation between white and ros? wine turbidity and filterability was recorded in the trials but the same trend was not registered for the red wine. The results of this study are important since membrane (final) filtration of improperly prepared wine characterized by low filterability can both increase the costs and lead to holdup on the bottling line.
