Abstract. Despite significant improvements in air quality in recent years, the Sichuan Basin (SCB) is still facing frequent haze pollution in winter. In this study, the chemical components of PM2.5 in a typical pollution period at the beginning of 2023 in Chengdu, a megacity in the SCB, were characterized by bulk-chemical and single-particle analysis, and the PM2.5 sources and formation mechanism of pollution were analyzed. The average mass concentration of PM2.5 during the study period was 95.4±29.7 μg m-3. Organic matter (OM) was the most abundant component (35.3 %), followed by nitrate (22.0 %), sulfate (9.2 %) and ammonium (7.8 %). The aerosol particles were classified into five categories: mineral, OM, S-rich, soot and fly ash/metal particles, and most of them were in the state of internal mixing. The entire observation period could be divided into two non-pollution periods (NP-1 and NP-2) and two haze periods (Haze-1 and Haze-2). With the evolution of pollution, the bulk-chemical and single-particle analysis exhibited similar characteristics, suggesting that Haze-1 was mainly caused by pollutants related to fossil fuel combustion, especially mobile sources, while Haze-2 was triggered by the rapidly increasing secondary pollutants. The PM2.5 sources included dust (8.5 %), biomass burning (3.5 %), coal combustion (15.5 %), industrial processes (6.5 %), vehicular emissions (25.6 %) and secondary sources (40.5 %). Analysis of WRF-Chem model results showed that the average contributions of local sources and regional transmission to pollution in Chengdu were the same (50 % vs 50 %). In addition, the source composition and WRF-Chem simulation results in different periods confirmed our analysis of the formation mechanisms of the two haze events. This study confirms that, despite the significant reduction in pollution experienced by Chengdu in the past decade, further significant reductions in PM2.5 are still needed, with particular emphasis on vehicular emissions and secondary sources. High intensity local emissions or large amounts of regional transmission may cause serious haze events, and more effective policies for local emissions reduction or joint prevention and control of regional air pollution are necessary in the future.
Warming of the Willamette River, 1850–present: the effects of climate change and river system alterations
Authors: Talke Stefan A. , Jay David A. , Diefenderfer Heida L.
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Using archival research methods, we recovered and combined data from multiple sources to produce a unique, 140-year record of daily water
temperature (Tw) in the lower Willamette River, Oregon (1881–1890, 1941–present). Additional daily weather and river flow records from the 1850s onwards are used to develop and validate a statistical regression model of Tw for 1850–2020. The model simulates the time-lagged response of Tw to air temperature and river flow and is calibrated for three distinct time periods: the late 19th, mid-20th, and early 21st centuries. Results show that Tw has trended upwards at 1.1 ∘C per century since the mid-19th century, with the largest shift in January and February (1.3 ∘C per century) and the smallest in May and June (∼ 0.8 ∘C per century). The duration that the river exceeds the ecologically important threshold of 20 ∘C has increased by about 20 d since the 1800s, to about 60 d yr−1. Moreover, cold-water days below 2 ∘C have virtually disappeared, and the river no longer freezes. Since 1900, changes are primarily correlated with increases
in air temperature (Tw increase of 0.81 ± 0.25 ∘C) but also occur due to alterations in the river system such as depth increases from reservoirs (0.34 ± 0.12 ∘C). Managed release of water affects Tw seasonally, with an average reduction of up to 0.56 ∘C estimated for September. River system changes have decreased variability (σ) in daily minimum Tw by 0.44 ∘C, increased thermal memory, reduced interannual variability, and reduced the response to short-term meteorological forcing (e.g., heat waves). These changes fundamentally alter the response of Tw to climate change, posing additional stressors on fauna.
A borehole trajectory inversion scheme to adjust the measurement geometry for 3D travel-time tomography on glaciers

Published: July 2023

Abstract. Cross-borehole seismic tomography is a powerful tool to investigate the subsurface with a very high spatial resolution. In a set of boreholes,
comprehensive three-dimensional investigations at different depths can be conducted to analyse velocity anisotropy effects due to local changes
within the medium. Especially in glaciological applications, the drilling of boreholes with hot water is cost-efficient and provides rapid access to
the internal structure of the ice. In turn, movements of the subsurface such as the continuous flow of ice masses cause deformations of the
boreholes and complicate a precise determination of the source and receiver positions along the borehole trajectories. Here, we present a three-dimensional inversion scheme that considers the deviations of the boreholes as additional model parameters next to the common velocity
inversion parameters. Instead of introducing individual parameters for each source and receiver position, we describe the borehole trajectory with
two orthogonal polynomials and only invert for the polynomial coefficients. This significantly reduces the number of additional model parameters and
leads to much more stable inversion results. In addition, we also discuss whether the inversion of the borehole parameters can be separated from the
velocity inversion, which would enhance the flexibility of our inversion scheme. In that case, updates of the borehole trajectories are only
performed if this further reduces the overall error in the data sets. We apply this sequential inversion scheme to a synthetic data set and a field
data set from a temperate Alpine glacier. With the sequential inversion, the number of artefacts in the velocity model decreases compared to a
velocity inversion without borehole adjustments. In combination with a rough approximation of the borehole trajectories, for example, from
additional a priori information, heterogeneities in the velocity model can be imaged similarly to an inversion with fully correct borehole coordinates. Furthermore, we discuss the advantages and limitations of our approach in the context of an inherent seismic anisotropy of the medium and extend our algorithm to consider an elliptic velocity anisotropy. With this extended version of the algorithm, we analyse the interference between a seismic anisotropy in the medium and the borehole coordinate adjustment. Our analysis indicates that the borehole inversion interferes with seismic velocity anisotropy. The inversion can compensate for such a velocity anisotropy. Based on the modelling results, we propose considering polynomials up to degree 3. For such a borehole trajectory inversion, third-order polynomials are a good compromise between a good
representation of the true borehole trajectories and minimising compensation for velocity anisotropy.

Published: July 2023

Abstract. Geothermal heat sources beneath glaciers and ice caps influence local ice-dynamics and mass balance, but also control ice surface depression evolution as well as subglacial water reservoir dynamics. Resulting jökulhlaups (i.e. glacier lake outburst floods) impose danger to people and infrastructure, especially in Iceland, where they are closely monitored. Due to hundreds of meters of ice, direct measurements of heat source strength and extent are not possible. We present an indirect measurement method which utilizes ice flow simulations and glacier surface data, such as surface mass balance and surface depression evolution. Heat source locations can be inferred accurately to simulation grid scales; heat source strength and spatial distributions are also well quantified. Our methods are applied to Mýrdalsjökull ice cap in Iceland, where we are able to refine previous heat source estimates.

Should I report abuse? - Attitudes toward doping testing and anonymous reporting in the Whistlebower programme
Authors: Kajtna Tanja , Zajc Luka , Makuc Nina
Published: July 2023

Despite all endeavours to prevent it, the use of performance-enhancing substances continues to occur in sports and social science research suggests that doping prevalence is likely much higher than what is found through testing. One of the ways to uncover doping violators is through reporting illicit drug use, through “doping whistleblowing” – the readiness to do so depends highly on the level of our moral development and the motivation to do so. It was exactly this method, which helped uncover some of the biggest doping scandals in sport in the past few years and our purpose in this study was to examine attitudes toward drug testing and anonymous reporting and see, if we can predict an athlete’s intention to report anonymously based on attitudes toward drug testing. 255 top athletes and coaches from Estonia and Slovenia-two small, athletically successful countries-participated in this study, 176 male and 79 female, 156 athletes and 99 coaches form team and individual sports. They filled out an attitudes questionnaire about drug testing and an anonymous report. The participants filled out a questionnaire online. We used t – test to compare subgorups of participants and correlation and linear regression to look for relations between doping attitudes and willingness to make an anonymous report. Comparisons of subgroups of participants revealed that female participants are more likely to believe that taking banned substances should be punished but are less likely to make an anonymous report. We also found that coaches seem to be better informed about the issue of doping than athletes and trust NADO more than athletes. We found several correlations between attitudes toward doping testing and those toward anonymous report and we tried to predict the willingness to make an anonymous report. We found several predictors, which were different for men and women. NADOs play an important role in creating conditions, which will enable people to report doping anonymously, but it has to be done both through education and through rigorous testing. This will ensure that whistleblowing can become an active part of the fight for clean sport.

Background/Aims: As the characteristics of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) differ between Asians and Westerners, it is necessary to determine adequate therapeutic strategy for Asian IBD patients. We evaluated the current treatment of IBD in Asian countries/regions using a web-based survey. Methods: The Korean Association for the Study of Intestinal Diseases conducted a multinational web-based survey for current IBD care in Asia between September 16, 2020, and November 13, 2020. Results: A total of 384 doctors treating IBD patients from 24 Asian countries/regions responded to the survey. Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents, anti-integrins, and anti-interleukin-12/23 agents were available for use by 93.8%, 72.1%, and 70.1% of respondents in Asian countries/regions. Compared with a previous survey performed in 2014, an increased tendency for treatment with biologics, including anti-TNF agents, was observed. In the treatment of corticosteroid-refractory acute severe ulcerative colitis, 72.1% of respondents chose anti-TNF agents, followed by tacrolimus (11.7%). In the treatment of corticosteroid-refractory Crohn’s disease, 90.4% chose anti-TNF agents, followed by thiopurines (53.1%), anti-interleukin-12/23 agents (39.3%), and anti-integrin agents (35.7%). In the treatment of Crohn’s disease patients refractory to anti-TNF agents, the most preferred strategy was to measure serum levels of anti-TNF and anti-drug antibodies (40.9%), followed by empiric dose escalation or shortening of dosing intervals (25.3%). Conclusions: Although there were some differences, treatment strategies for patients with IBD were mostly similar among Asian doctors. Based on the therapeutic outcomes, it is necessary to identify the most appropriate therapeutic strategy for Asian IBD patients.
On the question of the amino acid composition of pork with quality defects
Authors: Kalyuzhnaya T. V. , Orlova D. A.
Published: July 2023

The article presents the results of determining the amino acid composition of pork with quality defects, such as PSE, DFD, RSE, RFN and PFN. Meat is one of the traditional sources of high-grade protein, the nutritional and biological value of which depends on the ratio of essential and non-essential amino acids that make up these proteins. The nutritional value and amino acid composition of meat proteins are influenced by various factors, such as the type of animal and breed, gender and age, feeding, storage conditions and others. As part of the implementation of the Food Security Doctrine of the Russian Federation, much attention is paid to improving the quality and rational use of meat and other slaughter products, including those with quality defects such as PSE and DFD. In addition to defects PSE (pale, soft, exudative) and DFD (dark, hard, dry) for pork, there are three more categories: PFN — pale, hard, non-exudative (pH 5.58); RSE — red, soft, exudative (pH 5.67); RFN — red, hard, nonexudative (pH 5.71). The purpose of the research was to evaluate the amino acid composition of pork with quality defects. The research was carried out in the conditions of the educational and research center for the examination of food and animal feed of the St. Petersburg State University of Veterinary Medicine in the period 2021-2022. The materials for the study were 66 samples of pork of various quality categories (11 samples of each category). For the tests, point samples were taken from different muscle groups, then a combined sample was made and sample preparation was carried out according to the M method-04-94-2021 "Determination of amino acids in food products". The amino acid composition of the studied samples was determined according to the M method-04-94-2021 "Determination of amino acids in food products" on the device "Kapel-105M" (GC "LUMEX"), with an autosampler and an automatically switched polarity. As a result of the conducted research, it was found that the content of interchangeable and essential amino acids in pork of different quality categories depended on the type of amino acids and the quality category of pork. It should be noted that information about the amino acid composition of pork with quality defects should be taken into account in the production of meat products at processing plants.

Absolutely all preclinical studies involve three groups of experiments: preclinical studies of the pharmacokinetics of the substance, including toxicokinetics, preclinical studies of the pharmacokinetics of the drug and the clinical study of pharmacokinetics on target animals. Pharmacokinetic studies of native drugs are complex because they usually involve the administration of complex components. Thus, only the use of the whole complex of pharmacognostic, chemical, spectral, physicochemical and biological methods can provide an objective assessment of the authenticity and quality of medicinal herbal raw materials and medicinal herbal preparations. The study used Wistar white rats, weight 150-160g according to the Guidelines for Evaluation of Medicinal Products (3). The purpose of the study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic properties of a new feed additive in the form of a premix of sorbents and phytocompositions: milk thistle (DV-silibinin, Pharmcenter VILAR CJSC), thyme (DV-timol, Akhma100). Supplements in the form of finished dosage forms were standardized for the active substance, and have a constant composition. Thus, it allowed to create a study design for a new substance in one animal species. Since the composition of the sorption component was studied earlier, the introduced substances were considered separately and in combination with sorbents. After a single injection, the linearity of the pharmacokinetics was assessed, based on the administered different doses, the analysis of the main biochemical parameters of the blood was carried out, and the bioavailability was also calculated. Thus, the new premix based on sorbents and plant substances in the form of milk thistle and thyme does not have a negative effect on the body of laboratory animals. As a result of the studies, LD50 and LD100 were not established for the drug, the drug is classified as low-toxic, belongs to the fourth hazard class according to GOST 12.1.007-76 "Harmful substances", which allows further toxico-therapeutic tests.

Bentonite clays, especially those with a high content of montmorillonite, are widely used in the oil refining, winemaking, agricultural, and cosmetic industries. Such a wide and multidirectional use is primarily due to their unique physicochemical properties. The presence of these properties in bentonites arouses interest in them in pharmacy as excipients (emulsifiers, stabilizers, structure formers, etc.) as part of various dosage forms. However, despite the direct mention in the current State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation of the possibility of using bentonites as excipients, a substance officially permitted for these purposes in Russia is not registered and is not produced. In this regard, the urgent task was to conduct a preliminary pharmaceutical assessment of bentonite from a domestic field for the potential possibility of using it in veterinary pharmacy. The study was carried out on a modified sodium form of bentonite, processed to a homogeneous fine powder in comparison with the original alkaline earth form. The assessment was carried out according to indicators for pharmacopoeia analysis: description, authenticity, pH of an aqueous suspension, weight loss on drying, the content of arsenic, iron, calcium, carbonate chlorides, the presence of coarse particles, microbiological purity, swelling, gelling, emulsifying ability and stability emulsions. The evaluation of the emulsifying ability, emulsion stabilization, gelling properties and a number of pharmacopoeia indicators of good quality demonstrated the potential possibility of using domestically deposited bentonite in veterinary pharmacy (using the example of the Kantemirovskoye deposit in the Voronezh region) as excipients in the composition of dosage forms for veterinary use, in particular, heterogeneous ointments. In this regard, the sodium modification of bentonite seems to be more promising for further in-depth study.

Lymphoma in cats is a malignant neoplasm of lymphoid tissue (lymphocytes and other cells of the defense system are affected). Causes of lymphoma in cats can vary, including genetic factors, viruses, and exposure to carcinogens. Most often, patients are admitted to an appointment already with an advanced stage of lymphoma, since the signs of oncological disease are nonspecific and can be easily confused with other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms in cats may include swollen abdominal lymph nodes, decreased appetite and loss of lean body mass, behavioral changes (lethargy, weakness), vomiting, and fever. Lymphoma in cats accounts for 50-90% of all formations of the hematopoietic system. Chemotherapy is one of the main treatments. It consists in the use of cytostatics that inhibit the growth and division of tumor cells. Increasingly, new protocols are being tested in the treatment of animals for various oncological diseases. The length of the chemotherapy protocol varies according to the stage of the disease, clinical manifestation and extent of the lesion, but the most effective chemotherapy protocol is CHOP (endoxan, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisolone), which is designed for 25 weeks in cats. There are data on the use of the drug etoposide not only in humans but also in animals, which can be effective and serve as a replacement for endoxan in the CHOP treatment protocol. But in addition to the main methods of treatment, it is important to monitor the general condition of the animal, since the main goal of chemotherapy is to prolong the normal quality of life of the animal.

Purpose: Catheter-related infections and thrombosis are the most common complications associated with the use of tunneled hemodialysis catheters. The aim of our study was to determine the incidence of these complications in patients who underwent "locking" of their tunneled catheters and compare the cost of different options with their effect. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in the period 01.10.2021 - 31.03.2022. Twenty-three men and twenty-two women with a mean age of 60.82 (+/-13.629) years were randomly divided into three groups of 15 (fifteen) people each. Group A – catheter locking with TauroLock™ only, group B – with gentamicin and heparin; group C – with TauroLock™ for three months, then with heparin and gentamicin for the next three months. Results: The median duration for tunneled catheters was 8,105 catheter-days. One complication was reported in each of the three groups. Reported costs for patients treated with TauroLock™ were calculated at 3 EUR/each dialysis session and for patients treated with gentamicin and heparin – 0.88 EUR/dialysis session. Conclusion: The data from our study unequivocally support the thesis that locking the catheter with a TauroLock™ is comparable to the effect of the solution containing an antibiotic and anticoagulant.

Post-radiation sarcomas account for 0.5-5.5% of all sarcomas, and include extra skeletal osteosarcoma, fifibrosarcoma leiomyosarcoma, and malignant fifibrous histiocytoma. This article presents a case of a 53-year-old female who developed a mixed-type postradiation sarcoma three years after radiotherapy for cervical cancer. Unfortunately, the patient succumbed to the condition six months after undergoing pelvic clearance surgery. No prior relevant case reports have been identified in the literature. Consequently, we have systematically reviewed and summarized this case, conducting a comprehensive literature review to contribute valuable insights into the understanding of post-radiation sarcomas. Our objective is to underscore the importance of vigilance regarding these conditions and to provide clinicians with pertinent clinical data for informed decision-making in the realm of tumor radiotherapy.

Retained Foreign Bodies (FBs) in soft tissues are typically a complication of open wounds from trauma, accidents, and surgery, for which plenty of patients seek acute medical care. The importance of localizing these FBs is vital to patient health because it reduces the detrimental complications of loss of function, local tissue damage, infection, and sepsis. In today’s modern age, many automobile taillights are composed of three components: the polycarbonate outer shell, the light bulb, and various metal casings. Occasionally, patients present with one of these objects retained in their body. Here, we present the case of a FB that was dictated as a hematoma; however, it was a piece of polycarbonate that was reported as a piece of glass in the operating room transcript. Based upon imaging a piece of taillight polycarbonate at our institution, the Hounsfield Units (HU) averaged to be 88.62. Nonetheless, if there is acute blood in soft tissues, taillight plastic could be an appropriate differential; however, a hematoma is less likely to be polycarbonate from car rear lights based on the HU.

Case presentation: A 49-year-old woman returned to the emergency department for respiratory distress and pleuritic chest pain one day after influenza diagnosis. Chest X-ray was consistent with pneumonia. Point-of-care ultrasound showed dynamic air bronchograms and computed tomography revealed necrotizing pneumonia. Discussion: Emergency physicians should suspect necrotizing pneumonia in patients with rapidly progressive community-acquired pneumonia. Point-of-care ultrasound can aid in quick diagnosis of pneumonia. Emergency physicians should be familiar with ultrasound and computed tomography findings in necrotizing pneumonia to trigger appropriate treatment.

The use of 3D-printed highly porous titanium acetabular cups is becoming popular in Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) [1,2]. Their porosity mimics that of natural cancellous bone, leading to hopes for more rapid and effective osseo integration compared to traditional titanium and HA-coated implants [1,2]. The Acorn Traser cup (Permedica Orthopaedics S.p.A., Merate, Italy) is a new cement less monobloc Dual Mobility Cup (DMC) recently introduced to the market [3,4]. The cup features a highly porous trabecular structure (Traser) on the bone-cup surface and a titanium-niobium nitride (TiNbN) ceramic coating on the articular side to improve tribological behavior of the titanium shell against the mobile liner.
