Authors: Marçal Junior Oswaldo , Santos Almerinda dos
Published: November 2022

Este trabalho avaliou a distribuição de Aedes aegypti na zona urbana de Uberlândia, MG, e sua correlação com a incidência do dengue, na epidemia de 1999. Dados epidemiológicos e entomológicos foram obtidos junto aos órgãos da Prefeitura Municipal de Uberlândia. A infestação foi medida pelo índice predial. Os casos novos de dengue foram estabelecidos, segundo critério clíníco-epidemiológico. A cidade foi dividida em cinco setores, cada qual com 10 bairros ou bairros integrados. Foram aplicados métodos estatísticos não-paramétricos aos dados (p<0,05). Os índices de infestação variaram de zero a 5,90% entre os bairros; porém, não diferiram estatisticamente entre os setores pesquisados (Ï‡2=4,04; p=0,3995). Também não houve correlação entre infestação e incidência (rs=0,00144; p=0,921) O vetor tem distribuição espacial heterogênea na zona urbana de Uberlândia e que não está correlacionada com a incidência do dengue.
CARACTERIZAÇÃO AMBIENTAL DO ESPAÇO AGRÁRIO NA REGIÃO NOROESTE DO RIO GRANDE DO SUL
Authors: Mantelli Jussara , Schiavo Diogo Ricardo
Published: November 2022

A ocupação do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, em especial das áreas de colonização, por imigrantes europeus, revela que a agricultura desenvolvida nas áreas de mata representou o primeiro embate da atividade agrícola com os recursos naturais, gerado pelo processo de desmatamento. A evolução e o agravamento dos problemas ambientais nesta região relaciona-se às mudanças nas formas de produzir e no tipo de culturas desenvolvidas. A alta produtividade da terra conseguida no início da colonização, por causa da fertilidade natural dos solos de mata, esgotou-se e inseriu-se no setor agrário, um novo modelo de produção, com base na introdução de agro químicos, agravando os problemas ambientais, sob várias formas: esgotamento dos solos, assoreamento e poluição dos rios, além das repercussões de ordem social (exclusão social agrária).
Happiness maximizing sets under group fairness constraints
Authors: Zheng Jiping , Ma Yuan , Ma Wei , Wang Yanhao , Wang Xiaoyang
Published: November 2022

Finding a happiness maximizing set (HMS) from a database, i.e., selecting a small subset of tuples that preserves the best score with respect to any nonnegative linear utility function, is an important problem in multi-criteria decision-making. When an HMS is extracted from a set of individuals to assist data-driven algorithmic decisions such as hiring and admission, it is crucial to ensure that the HMS can fairly represent different groups of candidates without bias and discrimination. However, although the HMS problem was extensively studied in the database community, existing algorithms do not take
group fairness
into account and may provide solutions that under-represent some groups.

In this paper, we propose and investigate a fair variant of HMS (FairHMS) that not only maximizes the minimum happiness ratio but also guarantees that the number of tuples chosen from each group falls within predefined lower and upper bounds. Similar to the vanilla HMS problem, we show that FairHMS is NP-hard in three and higher dimensions. Therefore, we first propose an exact interval cover-based algorithm called IntCov for FairHMS on two-dimensional databases. Then, we propose a bicriteria approximation algorithm called BiGreedy for FairHMS on multi-dimensional databases by transforming it into a submodular maximization problem under a matroid constraint. We also design an adaptive sampling strategy to improve the practical efficiency of BiGreedy. Extensive experiments on real-world and synthetic datasets confirm the efficacy and efficiency of our proposal.
Heinrich Klotz und die architectura – und was in 50 Jahren aus ihr wurde

Published: November 2022

In 1971, Heinrich Klotz, who had returned from a stay as a visiting professor at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, founded architectura. Zeitschrift für Geschichte der Baukunst/Journal of the History of Architecture with the financial support of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). Klotz experiments with different formats of essays but retires as editor in 1976. Under subsequent editors, architectura continues to develop into the leading journal for the history of architecture, whose essays are not subject to any temporal or local limitations and reflect the entire breadth of research in the history of architecture.

The two authors, editors of the architectura from 2003 to 2015, provide an insight into the period of their editorship, which was marked by profound changes in science policy, the working situation at universities and the modernisation of the journal‘s structures – while retaining its ›brand essence‹. The relationship with the Koldewey-Gesellschaft and the adaptation of international standards in science are also addressed.
Baugeschichte, global gedacht
Authors: Löffler Beate
Published: November 2022

The short opinion piece understands building as a fundamental human practice and therefore equally global and local. It argues in favour of embracing the global dimension as a sensible and possibly even necessary way to develop our subject further. The paper suggests taking advantage of already existing knowledge and competence worldwide by deliberately networking beyond its own field despite extra work and conceptual quandary. It outlines some approaches and expects these to lead to the utilisation of informational resources that are often overlooked, the replacement of the last remnants of hegemonic interpretation in the 19th century, and the confident connectivity to those disciplines that share the discourse on planning, building, city, space, and architecture.
Narrating the Past in Different Contexts: C-BI Approach to the Present Perfect and Past Simple
Authors: Xu Xinhui , Zhan Hongwei
Published: November 2022

Concept-based instruction (C-BI) has proven to be effective in improving students’ command of grammar items used out of context by offering the students revision lessons, but its effect in teaching newly-introduced grammar items in a complex context of a specific genre remains unclear. To probe C-BI’s effect on students’ use of the past simple and present perfect tenses out of context and in the context of a narrative by its description of the grammar concept in its materialization, that is, the Schemas of a Complete Orienting Basis of an Action (SCOBAs), we taught the two tenses to 40 eighth-graders in a Chinese middle school in our three-week teaching experiment. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the results shows that i) in both out-of-context use and in-context use, accuracy of using the target tenses is higher after C-BI intervention; ii) by improving their conceptual knowledge through C-BI, the students are helped to pin down reference time and are hence more certain in using the target tenses. Moreover, they are encouraged to use the newly-introduced tenses in the complex context of the narrative genre; iii) both in simple contexts or complex contexts, the SCOBAs are effective in helping students navigate the learning task and determine their intended meaning by establishing temporal reference in the context.
The balanced discrete triplet Lindley model and its INAR(1) extension: properties and COVID-19 applications
Authors: Shirozhan Masoumeh , Mamode Khan Naushad A. , Kokonendji Célestin C.
Published: November 2022

This paper proposes a new flexible discrete triplet Lindley model that is constructed from the balanced discretization principle of the extended Lindley distribution. This model has several appealing statistical properties in terms of providing exact and closed form moment expressions and handling all forms of dispersion. Due to these, this paper explores further the usage of the discrete triplet Lindley as an innovation distribution in the simple integer-valued autoregressive process (INAR(1)). This subsequently allows for the modeling of count time series observations. In this context, a novel INAR(1) process is developed under mixed Binomial and the Pegram thinning operators. The model parameters of the INAR(1) process are estimated using the conditional maximum likelihood and Yule-Walker approaches. Some Monte Carlo simulation experiments are executed to assess the consistency of the estimators under the two estimation approaches. Interestingly, the proposed INAR(1) process is applied to analyze the COVID-19 cases and death series of different countries where it yields reliable parameter estimates and suitable forecasts via the modified Sieve bootstrap technique. On the other side, the new INAR(1) with discrete triplet Lindley innovations competes comfortably with other established INAR(1)s in the literature.
Az urbanizáció és az elemi oktatás fejlődése Pécsett Klebelsberg korában. A pécsi Gyárvárosi Iskola létrejötte és kiépülése

Published: November 2022

In this study, the authors will attempt to highlight some details of the urbanisation of Pécs in the early 20th century by presenting the foundation of one elementary school (Gyárváros). Our study will provide essential details to understand the urbanisation of the industrial peripheries, wherever the mining colonies and some other industries created special conditions for urban development far away from the core/centre. The authors try to refine the picture of the famous school-building programme in the 1920’s, named after minister Kuno Klebelsberg. It is often labelled as a program for the rural peripheries, but it has substantial significance in rapidly urbanising industrial cities too, especially in their outskirts, wherever working-class families are concentrated. According to the social status and the lack of the inhabitants’ access to educational facilities, these urban peripheries are at least equally in need of coordinated development, mobilising national, local, public and private sources, like their rural counterparts.

En la presente ref lexión académica, dentro del contexto colombiano se determina que en la práctica del sistema tributario y el presupuesto de rentas, con el caso puntual del Distrito de Cartagena de Indias, se relacionan la causación, presentación, declaración y pago del ICA de forma bimestral. Es por ello que se genera el presente problema jurídico de imposición de sanciones por extemporaneidad u omisión, por medio de las disposiciones reglamentarias especiales del ente territorial, en perjuicio de los intereses de los contribuyentes, cuyos deberes se cumplan conforme a la periodicidad que resulta ser necesaria, por el ejercicio o realización del enfoque en el impuesto de industria y comercio, avisos y tableros y sobretasa bomberil, para aquellas actividades industriales, comerciales y de servicio que profiere la normatividad tributaria. Según la naturaleza territorial del impuesto, como sucede en Cartagena de Indias, sería legítimo que se permitiera la declaración, presentación y pago del tributo en periodos de causación distintos a la norma nacional.
Options for correction of local immune status in patients with chronic endometritis
Authors: Borovikov I. O. , Kravcova E. I. , Bulgakova V. P. , Borovikova O. I. , Biryukova M. I.
Published: November 2022

Chronic endometritis with impaired receptivity of uterine cavity epithelium (the “thin” endometrium) is considered the most common cause of recurrent implantation failures during in vitro fertilization (IVF). Chronic inflammation, accompanied by autoimmune mucosal reactions, may lead to a perverse immune response of lymphocytic cells with altered cascade of cytokine reactions, thus preventing efficiency of decontamination therapy, followed by potential inability to perform reproductive function in the patients. The article concerns our experience of complex preimplantation preparation of patients with recurrent implantation failures caused by chronic endometritis during a course of intrauterine administration of cavitated solution of recombinant interleukin 2 (rIL-2). Our aim was to assess some changes in local immune status in the patients with chronic endometritis and repeated implantation failures during complex preparation for the IVF procedure, using a cavitated solution of rIL-2.

A study of the local immune changes of uterine cavity in the patients with recurrent implantation failures suffering with chronic endometritis was carried out under complex preparation for IVF with thawed embryos (n = 82). A control group included the infertile women with normal endometrial thickness (> 7 mm at M-echo), with excluded diagnosis of chronic endometritis (n = 30). Complex therapy included decontamination and contamination; hormone replacement therapy; intrauterine ultrasonic cavitation of rIL-2 solution. Dynamic assessment of the local immunity was tested in the endometrial biopsies. We performed analysis of the main subpopulations of immune lymphoid cells, morphological composition, phagocytic responses and cytokine status.

he state of immunocompetent cells and cytokine profile of endometrial samples in the patients with chronic endometritis indicates a possible Th2 shift of the local immune response, with changing ratio of cytokines leading to impaired molecular, subcellular and cellular structures, which, along with fluctuating activity of other components of uterine cavity homeostasis, may determine a recurrent course of the disease with impaired endometrial morphology. Preimplantation preparation with intrauterine irrigation with a cavitated solution of rIL-2 in patients with recurrent implantation failures accomplished by chronic endometritis helps to improve the indices of local immunity, being more effective (an average of twofold), compared with the group of conventional preparation for IVF with thawed embryos. The treatment may promote the proliferative processes in epithelium of the uterine cavity thus contributing to increased potential of endometrium for implantation and occurence of clinical pregnancy.
The oral cavity as a site for developing a heterogeneous bacterial population in patients with cystic fibrosis
Authors: Kondratenko Olga V. , Saburova Maria S.
Published: November 2022

Cystic fibrosis is an important medical and social problem. Despite significant advances in modern science and practice, bacterial complications are still among the main causes of patient mortality. One of the crucial bacterial pathogens in cystic fibrosis is Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can lead to rapidly decreased pulmonary function. At the same time, the lungs are not the only site for microbial colonization. The oral cavity can also serve as a reservoir for initial entry and adaptation of microbial strains, which, however, were only sparsely investigated. A clinical case of isolated heterogeneous microbial population of P. aeruginosa from various loci of the oral cavity and sputum of a patient with cystic fibrosis is described. A proteomic mass-spectrum analysis obtained from eleven isolates as well as their mutual comparison with the control strain of P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 visualized with CCI matrix was performed. As a result, a high level of heterogeneity of the studied population was revealed, while high CCI Score values were obtained only for individual pairs of isolates. It was shown that the bacterial strains isolated from the patient sputum turned out to be more homogeneous in protein profiles than cultures detected from various oral sites. At the same time, in case of isolated several morphotypes of P. aeruginosa from single oral site, no closely related strains were found. Thus, it is shown that the oral cavity is more important viewed from microbial dissociation in cystic fibrosis, which may be due to more diverse microecological conditions. Representatives of the microbiological community can recolonize the tracheobronchial tree through microaspiration, thereby contributing to the maintenance of infectious inflammation in the lower respiratory tract and partially accounting for ineffectiveness of nebulized antibacterial therapy. At the same time, clones adapted to the lung tissue upon coughing up sputum are able to colonize oral sites. The data obtained actualize the question of the need for a comprehensive microbiological approach while examining patients to increase effectiveness of eradication measures in cystic fibrosis.

Изучено влияние структуры, минерального и фракционного составов вспученного вермикулита, полученного из концентрата с нерегулярной структурой флогопит / вермикулит, а также способа формования на свойства керамовермикулита. Показано, что цвет материала может являться индикатором разной степени вермикулитизации и дегидратации гидрофлогопита. Термообработка вермикулитового концентрата на производстве при 1000 оС недостаточна для данного вида слюды. С использованием добавок огнеупорной глины получены образцы керамовермикулита плотностью 880‒1120 кг/м3 с пределом прочности при сжатии 0,54‒0,91 МПа (полусухое прессование) и плотностью 530‒620 кг/м3 с пределом прочности при сжатии 0,21‒0,45 МПа (пластическое формование).
Individual‐Level Predictors of Conspiracy Mentality in Germany and Poland
Authors: Farkhari Fahima , Schlipphak Bernd , Back Mitja D.
Published: November 2022

Conspiracy mentality (CM), the general propensity to believe in conspiracy theories, has been linked to political behaviors, prejudice, and non‐compliance with public health guidelines. While there is increasing evidence that conspiracy beliefs are pervasive, research on individual‐level predictors of CM is scarce. Specifically, we identify three gaps in research: First, evidence on the question which individual‐level characteristics predict CM is inconsistent and often based on small samples. Second, personality, political, and religious predictors are usually examined in isolation. Third, differences on the societal level have been mostly neglected. In the present research, we gathered CAWI (Study 1) and CATI (Study 2) data on generalized interpersonal trust (GIT), right‐wing authoritarianism (RWA), and religiosity in two politically and culturally different European countries, namely Germany (N = 2,760) and Poland (N = 2,651). This allowed for a well‐powered test of three theoretically relevant predictors of CM, including their unique predictive value. Moreover, we were able to explore whether these associations replicate across or are moderated by country context. Our findings underline the role of GIT and RWA in predicting CM in both countries. Analyses based on RWA subdimensions yielded a differentiated picture of the role of RWA. Furthermore, we found cross‐country differences with stronger associations of GIT and RWA with CM in Germany. Findings are discussed concerning political and religious differences between the examined countries.

Published: November 2022

Squamous cell carcinomas of the oral cavity require multiple treatment approaches such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical treatment. Glossectomy and mandibulectomy are the most common surgical treatment procedures for oral carcinoma with pre-, and post-surgical chemo-radiotherapy depending on the stage of cancer. The patients with glossectomy and mandibulectomy are at risk of developing a wide range of impairments in speech and swallowing functions due to surgical procedures and post chemo-radiation therapy (trismus and xerostomia). The present case report describes a 52-year-old male who had a history of oral squamous cell carcinoma and underwent wide excision of maxillar and mandibular regions who presented with severe speech and swallowing impairments. On examination of speech and swallowing functions, the patient exhibited oral dysphagia of moderate severity and poor speech intelligibility. The patient had undergone 50 speech and swallow therapy sessions over two months duration and post-therapy evaluation showed improvements in speech and swallowing functions. The patient had exhibited improvements in quality of life on various physical and functional domains post-rehabilitation. However, the improvements were limited due to the presence of trismus and hypernasality due to maxillar resection. This case report describes the importance of speech and swallowing rehabilitation to improve the post-surgical impairments in speech and swallowing functions and also the overall quality of life of patients with oral cancers.

Democracy, Economy, Progress and the Rule of Law. Special Reference to the Tax Regime for Religious Denominations
Authors: Catalá Rubio Santiago
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this article is twofold: on the one hand, to relate the fiscal and financial model to the Social and Democratic Rule of Law, on the other one, to transfer Spanish experiences that may be of interest to Poland, as both countries began their democratic experience and integration into the European Union a few decades ago. From a multidisciplinary perspective, the contributions that law could make to the field of political economy can be of capital importance for the consolidation of our democratic systems, public order, and social peace, analyzing the role of religious confessions. Methodology. To achieve this purpose, the analytical-comparative-interdisciplinary method was chosen as it was considered the most appropriate one in view of the close connections between economics, law, progress and social peace. The result of the research. The work shows that democracies, although they are the most effective models for achieving the highest standards of progress, and even though in the Polish and Spanish cases, they have the advantage of having served to bring dictatorial periods to an end, there is a need for effective control mechanisms. Democracies absolutely cannot degenerate into corrupt and ineffective systems under the control of large political and partisan oligarchies. The independence of the judiciary is, in this sense, an essential and inalienable element in guaranteeing the correct functioning of other state institutions. It is necessary to insist on the importance of the legal norm as an instrument of political control and its impact on macroeconomics, and the consolidation of democratic regimes, even more in the context initiated with the respective integration processes in the European Union. On the other hand, the aim is to show how beneficial tax treatment for religious denominations has a powerful effect on the achievement of the common good and social peace. In addition, it is about relating importance that has the budgetary balance and mechanisms for controlling public expenditure for the maintenance of progress and social justice in a sustainable model.

Authors: Peña Beatriz Carolina
Published: November 2022

Este libro constituye el primer estudio extenso dedicado a los dibujos de la Relación del viaje al Nuevo Mundo, importante manuscrito del siglo XVI suerte de bitácora de viaje elaborado y diseñado por Ocaña. Fue en enero de 1599 que el Real Monasterio de Santa María de Guadalupe (Extremadura, España) envió al clérigo a recabar limosnas en las Indias para su casa monacal. Durante su periplo, el monje escribe un relato del viaje, el cual ilustró con escenas de mujeres, parejas y guerreros indígenas, así como con algunas especies animales especialmente camélidos y mapas del reino de Chile. Su representación sugestiva de los nativos, comparada con figuras desnudas o semidesnudas de artistas europeos de la época Botticelli, Juan de Flandes, Tiziano, Veronese y Tintoretto demuestra sofisticación y complejiza el simple propósito o intención de exhibir indumentarias indoamericanas, pues iba más allá. La autora introduce, así, categorías de análisis desde el estudio de la iconografía, la forma, el color, la composición, la alegoría y su función, así como la correspondencia de estas estructuras simbólicas con elementos y actividades sociales como el poder, el género, la vestimenta, la medicina, la alimentación, entre otros. Tanto en la escritura de su prosa como a través de las imágenes, Ocaña describe las relaciones de subordinación de las naciones indígenas a la Corona española; sin embargo, al dibujar famosos líderes araucanos, trazar con detenimiento sus territorios y colocar a guerreros mapuches enfrentados a figuras políticas españolas de renombre, algunas de estas ilustraciones revelan un entusiasmo subrepticio por la resistencia indígena.

Published: November 2022

Aim: The present study investigates the effects of lavender oil and ice applications on episiotomy pain and wound healing.
Materials and Methods: This study was organized as a semi-randomized controlled type of research. A total of 96 term pregnant women who gave birth in the delivery service of Nazilli State Hospital and underwent episiotomy at birth, had a Visual Analog Skala (VAS) value greater than 3 and agreed to participate in the study were included in the study. The patient information form, the Visual Analog Scale, and the REEDA Scale were used for data collection. The research data was analyzed using number, percentage, the chi-square test, the Kruskal Wallis test, the Mann-Whitney U test, One-Way Anova test, Tukey HD test, and the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test.
Results: The mean VAS values of the groups before the application were 7.90±0.92 for the lavender group, 8.29±1.03 for the ice group, and 8.00±1.00 for the control group. In addition, it was found that there was a statistically significant difference between the VAS values between the groups after the application (p<0.05), and the mean VAS values in the intervention groups decreased (Lavender group 6.84±1.08, ice group 5.70±1.53). While there was no statistically significant difference in the mean REEDA recovery scores between the groups before the application (p=0.912), there was a statistically significant difference in the REEDA recovery scores of the intervention groups and the control group after the application (p=0.000).
Conclusion: According to the findings of the study, lavender oil and ice applications used after labor reduce perineal pain and accelerate wound healing.

Automatic Zonation and Correlation of Well Logs for a Tectono-Sedimentary Interpretation in the Continental Siliciclastic Basin of Duero River (Iberian Peninsula)
Authors: Díaz-Curiel Jesús , Biosca Bárbara , Arévalo-Lomas Lucía , Miguel María J.
Published: November 2022

A procedure to automatically correlate well logs measured in boreholes that are located in continental siliciclastic basins by using two different methods is shown. The first method is applied to the parametric layers that were determined in each borehole starting from the values of their geophysical parameters and consists of correlating, by cross-association, the columns formed by these layers. The second method consists of cross-correlating the geophysical stretches or units, which are established as sets of layers with similar characteristics that are sufficiently different from the average values in the adjacent stretches. The evaluation of the correlation results requires showing the criteria that are used for determining the parametric layers that are obtained from the well logs, the result of which is called segmentation in this study. This evaluation also requires to show the techniques that are used to determine the geophysical stretches by a process that is called stretching in this study. The reason for using different correlation methods is that cross-association of layers provides high resolution but relatively smaller spatial extent, whereas cross-correlations of geophysical stretches provide higher spatial extent but lower resolution. Thus, the cross-association results have been used both to assess the correlations in boreholes that are relatively close (distances<10 km) and to support the establishment of the stretch correlation criteria. The developed methodology is applied to a set of boreholes located in the Duero Basin (Spain). From the results obtained, an evaluation of the correlations with respect to the distances between boreholes was carried out. Furthermore, it is shown that the correlations between geophysical stretches enable identifying the correspondences between these and the tectono-sedimentary sequences (activation-relaxation of a tectonic phase) that are established in the literature.

A large number of CO2-bearing gas layers are distributed in the deep layers in the Huangliu and Meishan formations of the Dongfang 13 gas field. The presence of CH4, CO2, and formation water in CO2-bearing gas layers complicates the change of logging response characteristics. In particular, the unclear understanding of the additional conductivity change law formed by the coupling of CO2 and formation water results in low accuracy of the water saturation results, and the aforementioned type of gas layer can easily be misidentified as the gas-water mixed layer. By conducting multiple rock electrical experiments under simulated formation temperature and pressure conditions, core flooding experiments were conducted with different contents of CO2 and CH4 mixed gas to determine the lithology coefficient b, saturation coefficient n, and cementation coefficient m of cores under different experimental conditions. Additionally, we also analyzed the relationship between the electrical parameters of rocks, CO2 content, and water saturation to reveal the influence of coupling of CO2 and formation water on the change of electrical parameters of rocks under high temperature and pressure conditions. The experimental results show that when the mixed gas with different CO2 contents is dissolved in the formation water, there is no difference between the measured lithology coefficient a and the cementation coefficient m; as the CO2 content increases, the lithology coefficient b increases, and the saturation coefficient n decreases. Based on the experimental results, we established a prediction model of the change between lithology coefficient b, saturation coefficient n, and CO2 content. This model improves the accuracy of water saturation calculations in the CO2-bearing gas layers along with that of fluid identification.

Background
Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) is an important factor affecting the prognosis of patients with ischemic stroke. This study aimed to observe whether isoflurane posttreatment enhances autophagy after focal CIRI in rats by activating the AMPK/ULK1 signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting NLRP3 inflammation. The body releases inflammatory factors to reduce inflammation, thereby reducing neurological damage and improving cognitive and memory functions.
Methods
Eighty male SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: sham operation group (Sham), model group (MCAO), isoflurane posttreatment + model group (M + ISO), autophagy inhibitor Baf-A1 + isoflurane posttreatment + model group (M + I + B), AMPK inhibitor Compound C + isoflurane posttreatment + model group (M + I + C).
Results
Compared with the sham group, the MCAO group exhibited decreased neurobehavioral scores and cognitive memory function (P < 0.05). Compared with the MCAO group, the neurobehavioral score of rats in the M + ISO group was significantly reduced, the expression of AMPK, ULK1, Beclin1, and LC3B protein was significantly increased, and cognitive and memory function was significantly improved (P < 0.05). Compared with the M + ISO group, the neurobehavioral scores and the protein expression of NLRP3, IL-1β and IL-18 in the M + I + B and M + I + C groups increased significantly (P < 0.05).
Conclusions
This research indicated that isoflurane posttreatment may enhance autophagy by activating the AMPK/ULK1 signaling pathway and further inhibit the release of inflammatory factors from NLRP3 inflammasomes, thereby improving neurological function and cognitive impairment after focal CIRI in rats and exerting a protective effect on the brain.

Published: November 2022

This study develops an event-triggered controller for the ROV attitude system. First, the dynamic modeling of ROV attitude control is performed. The three-dimensional dynamic equation for ROV attitude control is obtained by decoupling each degree of freedom, and the model for the ROV attitude stability control system is obtained by taking into account the influence of ROV hydrodynamics, ship movement, and umbilical cable vortex-induced vibration. The ROV attitude stability control controller is designed by using backstepping control and sliding mode control, the event trigger mechanism is added to optimize its control output, and the Volterra adaptive multi-step prediction algorithm is designed to predict the ship sinking time series in advance, and the condition parameters are provided for the event trigger mechanism in the AHC controller to improve the positioning accuracy of the attitude stability axial subsystem (AHC). The simulation findings demonstrate that the control strategy and prediction algorithm developed in this study can accomplish the control task and have a strong anti-interference ability by establishing varying degrees of sea conditions and advanced forecast time for simulation tests. Additionally, the event trigger mechanism optimizes the control law, better utilizes the output control signal's channel, and prevents the control output from acting improperly, all of which can reduce network bandwidth use.
Safety of Roxadustat Combined with Epoetin Alfa in Hemodialysis Patients with Anemia: A Cohort Study
Authors: Lu Yi , Liu Xin-yu , Wang Jian-gang
Published: November 2022

Background: Roxadustat is an oral hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor that stimulates erythropoiesis1, China was the first country in the world to complete phase III clinical trials and was officially approved for marketing in 20182. Recombinant human erythropoietin(rhEPO) is a traditional exogenous supplement of erythropoietin for the treatment of renal anemia.Due to a lack of research on the combination therapy, the FDA(Food and Drug Administration)does not recommend using roxadustat and recombinant human erythropoietin(rhEPO) together3.
Methods: This cohort study was carried out at Nanyang Central Hospital in Nanyang, Henan, China, between January 2020 and January 2022.We compared roxadustat combined with epoetin alfa(combination group) with roxadustat and epoetin alfa for post-dialysis systolic pressure, adverse events(AEs) and major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs) in end-stage renal disease(ESRD) patients with anemia who were undergoing hemodialysis.The primary outcomes were the mean change in the postdialysis systolic pressure from baseline(BL) to 28 weeeks,and the secondary outcomes were MACEs and AEs.
Results: A total of 96 participants were included. From baseline to weeks 28,the mean(±SE) change in the postdialysis systolic pressure was -6.6±23.3mmHg in the epoetin alfa group,-5.5±26.9mmHg in the roxadustat group, and 8.8±21.0mmHg in the combination group. During a follow-up of 28 weeks, a worsening hypertension occurred in 3 of 42 patients (7.1%) in the epoetin alfa group, in 1 of 35 patients (2.9%) in the raxadustat group and in 0 of 19 patients(0%) in the combination group. The proportion of patients with MACEs and AEs were similar across the three groups.
Conclusions: We found that roxadustat combined with epoetin alfa had greater risk of elevated systolic pressure compared to oral roxadustat or parenteral epoetin alfa as therapy for anemia in Chinese patients undergoing dialysis in the 28 weeks, and the proportion of patients experiencing AEs and MACEs was generally similar across the three grouos.At this time, clinical studies with larger sample size and longer follow-up time are needed to confirm.

Aims
To explore the clinical characteristics of symptomatic patients and to generalize how to make appropriate treatment choices for this group of patients.
Materials and methods
From January 2010 to September 2020, a total of 647 patients with duodenal diverticula (DD) were included in this study. 345 of them with relevant symptoms were divided into the symptomatic group and the other 302 patients were in the asymptomatic group.
Results
Among all patients, most DD were located in the periampullary area, <1cm in size, and single in number. The distribution of DD localized in the 2nd portion/periampullary (P = 0.002/P < 0.001) and with a 1cm size cut-off value (P = 0.003) was significantly different between the symptomatic and asymptomatic groups. Multivariate Logistics analysis further suggests that diverticular size (< 1cm, 1-3cm) and combined biliary comorbidities (bile duct stones and gallstones, primary bile duct stones, cholangitis without bile duct stones) may be factors influencing the choice of treatment modality. Of all patients undergoing surgical treatment, a total of 7 cases developed various postoperative complications, and no one died.
Conclusions
Patients with DD ≥ 1 cm or located in the periampullary were more likely to be symptomatic. The specific size of the DD and the combination of specific biliary comorbidities may have an impact on the choice of treatment modality.
