Pemanfaatan media pembelajaran seharusnya merupakan bagian yang harus mendapatperhatian guru dalam setiap kegiatan pembelajaran. Oleh karena itu guru perlumempelajari bagaimana menetapkan media pembelajaran agar dapat mengefektifkanpencapaian tujuan pembelajaran dalam proses belajar mengajar. media yang digunakanmemiliki posisi sebagai alat bantu dalam kegiatan pembelajaran, yaitu alat bantumengajar bagi guru (teaching aids). Misalnya alat-alat grafis, photografis, atauelektronik untuk menangkap, memproses, dan menyusun kembali informasi visual atauverbal. Banyak media yang bisa kita jadikan sebagai media pembelajaran salah satunyaadalah Multimedia Interaktif, contoh multimedia interaktif adalah Kuis dengan flash,game, kuis dengan PowerPoint, dan lain-lain. PowerPoint salah satu media presentasiyang sering digunakan oleh para guru dalam menyampaikan bahan ajar dengan tujuansiswa dan siswi bisa menerima materi, tapi terkadang pembuatan powerpoint yangbiasa-biasa saja dapat membuat mereka jadi bosan, Salah satu media pembelajaran yangbaik dan mudah digunakan adalah Prezi Desktop. Prezi merupakan sebuah perangkatlunak untuk presentasi berbasis internet (SaaS). Selain untuk presentasi, Prezi jugadapat digunakan sebagai alat untuk mengeksplorasi dan berbagi ide di atas kanvasvirtual. Prezi menjadi unggul karena program ini menggunakan en:Zooming UserInterface (ZUI), yang memungkinkan pengguna Prezi untuk memperbesar danmemperkecil tampilan media presentasi. Jadi dengan adanya Prezi sangat membantubagi guru dalam menyampaikan materi ajar sehingga siswa dan siswi dapat menerimamateri yang diberikan dengan tampilan yang lebih interaktif dan menarik.

Study Design: Single-center retrospective case series.Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the clinical results of revision surgery for a rod fracture using a posterior-only approach and determine the best procedure to prevent refracture in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD).Overview of Literature: ASD affects the thoracolumbar spine and often requires surgical correction. However, surgery for extensive spinal fusion causes rod fracture, a major mechanical complication. Few studies have described the treatment methods for rod fractures. Furthermore, the clinical outcomes of revision surgery for rod fractures in patients with ASD are currently unclear.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 404 patients who underwent corrective fusion surgery for ASD with a minimum 2-year follow-up. We studied cases of reoperation for postoperative rod fractures and investigated surgical procedure, intraoperative findings, clinical course, and rod refracture following revision surgery.Results: Rod fracture was observed in 88 patients (21.8%). Fifty-three patients (average age, 68.3 years; average blood loss, 502.2 mL [% estimated blood volume=16.4%]; and operation time, 203.3 minutes) who suffered from a rod fracture at an average of 28.3 months after the primary operation underwent reoperation. Surgical invasiveness had no significant differences in total or partial rod replacement; however, the procedures with and without an anterior bone graft significantly differed. The replaced rod refractured at an average of 35.3 months after the revision surgery of five patients. The rod also refractured at a level outside multiple rods in two patients and with traumatic episodes in three patients. Three patients had bone grafts in the anterior column.Conclusions: Revision surgery involving a multirod with a posterior-only approach for a rod fracture that occurred after ASD was performed successfully. Bone grafting in the anterior column is unnecessary for patients without massive bone defects.

Published: February 2022

Study Design: Single-hospital cross-sectional study.Purpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate the physical functions influencing dynamic postural change in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD).Overview of Literature: Dynamic postural change leading to increased forward lean during gait is a problem in patients with ASD; however, the relationship between this change and trunk and hip extensor strength is unclear.Methods: Thirty patients with ASD aged ≥50 years who were admitted to our hospital between July 2016 and September 2019 were included in this study. X-ray parameters (i.e., sagittal vertical axis, pelvic tilt, and pelvic incidence minus lumbar lordosis) were evaluated from the full-length standing radiographs of the subjects. Trunk and hip extensor strength was evaluated using a hand-held dynamometer. Dynamic postural changes (i.e., sagittal trunk shift during standing, sagittal trunk shift during gait, and delta sagittal trunk shift) were assessed using a three-dimensional motion analysis system. The relationships between dynamic postural change and various X-ray parameters, as well as trunk and hip extensor strength, were examined using multivariable analysis.Results: Multivariable analysis showed that hip extensor strength is the factor most strongly associated with dynamic postural change among the X-ray parameters and physical functions assessed in this study (β=−0.41, R2=0.12).Conclusions: We demonstrated the association between dynamic postural change and hip extensor strength in patients with ASD. Our results may be useful to healthcare providers treating patients with ASD. Interventions for dynamic postural change in patients with ASD should focus on hip extensor strength.

Published: February 2022

Study Design: This is a virtual three-dimensional (3D) imaging study examining computed tomography (CT) data to investigate instrumentation placement.Purpose: In this study, we aim to clarify the ideal entry point and trajectory of the sacral alar iliac (SAI) screw in relationship to the dorsal foramen at S1 and the respective nerve root.Overview of Literature: To the best of our knowledge, there is yet no detailed 3D imaging study on the ideal entry point of the SAI screw. Despite the evidence suggesting that the dorsal foramen at S1 is a landmark on the sacrum, the S1 nerve root disruption is a general concern during the insertion of SAI screws. No other study has been published examining the nerve root location at the S1and SAI screw insertions.Methods: Preoperative CT data from 26 patients pertaining to adult spinal deformities were investigated in this study. We applied a 3D image processing method for a detailed investigation. Virtual cylinders were used to mimic SAI screws. These were placed to penetrate the sacral iliac joint without violating the other cortex. We then assessed the trajectory of the longest SAI screw and the ideal entry point of SAI using a color mapping method on the surface of the sacrum. We measured the location of the nerve root at S1 in relation to the foramen at S1 and the sacral surface.Results: As per the results of our color mapping, it was determined that areas that received high scores are located medially and caudally to the dorsal foramen of S1. The mean angle between a horizontal line and a line connecting the medial edge of the foramen and nerve root at S1 was 93.5°. The mean distances from the dorsal medial edge of the foramen and sacral surface to S1 nerve root were 21.8 mm and 13.9 mm, respectively.Conclusions: The ideal entry point of the SAI screw is located medially and caudally to the S1 dorsal foramen based on 3D digital mapping. It is also shown that this entry point spares the S1 nerve root from possible iatrogenic injuries.
CONCEPTS, APPLICATIONS AND CHALLENGES OF USING THE INTERNET OF THINGS
Authors: Kabarukhin A.
Published: February 2022

The article examines the concept of using the Internet of Things from the historical, semantic, value, performance and perspective sides. Graphically presented the principle of the Internet of Things and the objectives of its application in various fields of activity. A SWOT analysis of the concept of using the Internet of Things in modern smart cities is developed. In the most general sense, the Internet of Things is not a real worldwide network, but the concept of a network of those very "things," that is, physical and virtual objects that are connected to the Internet and the outside world. They are able to transmit the data they receive to each other in order to perform various actions based on it. However, it is not only manufacturers of "smart" equipment that are involved in the development of the concept. For the Internet of Things to function properly, many components need to work together, including communication systems, sensors, software, and technology platforms that connect devices and allow them to "see" and "understand" each other. Particular attention is paid to the comparison of Russian and international experience of using the Internet of Things and examples of its practical application (in the format of digital (applications) and real activities). Conclusions are made about the promising directions of development of the analyzed concept in the form of a smart city.
Simultaneous transarterial and transvenous contrast injection to reveal the fistulous point in carotid cavernous fistula: illustrative case
Authors: Rupareliya Chintan , Fraser Justin F. , Sheikhi Lila
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND

Access of the cavernous sinus (CS) via venous route from the inferior petrosal sinus (IPS) can sometimes be challenging during the treatment of carotid cavernous fistulas (CCF), largely because of anatomical variations, tortuosity, and/or difficult visualization of IPS given high retrograde flow through the fistulous connection.

OBSERVATIONS

A 58-year-old male was transferred to our university hospital center after suspected diagnosis of CCF at another hospital by head computerized tomography-angiogram. His symptoms included three weeks of right eye pain that was later complicated by redness, diplopia, and blurry vision. In a diagnostic angiogram, separate contrast injections from the arterial side via internal carotid artery (ICA) and from the venous side via IPS did not reveal a connection point. Injecting contrast simultaneously from both arterial and venous ends resulted in visualization of a connection point allowing entry into the CS.

LESSONS

Technique of simultaneous contrast injection from ICA and internal jugular vein is comparatively simple and saves an operator prolonged time and complexity of approach. In our case, it revealed fistulous point allowing navigation and completing the coiling.

Purpose: research of impulse irrigation of rice in different interphase periods for saving water resources. Materials and methods. The research was carried out at different water supply impulses to rice during the growing season. Observations, metering, field measurements were carried out according to technique of Kuban State Agrarian University and the Federal Scientific Rice Center. The irrigation regime in the control variant corresponded to the technology of shortened flooding. In the experimental variants, the impulses “watering – draining” were carried out in the phases of rice vegetation “germination – tillering”, “booting – flowering”, “ripening”. Results. It has been found that the impulse irrigation regime in the phases “germination – tillering”, “booting – flowering” and “ripening” can reduce the irrigation rate by 11.4; 5.1; 1.5 %, respectively, compared to control. The average yield by experience was 75.7 dt/ha, which is more than on control by 1.2 dt/ha. The calculation of economic efficiency by the options showed that the extra profit from the yield increase in the experimental plots was from 1440 to 2880 rubles/ha, the net income rose from 480 to 960 rubles/ha. Cost savings on water delivery service payment varied according to the experimental options from 69.83 to 530.71 rubles/ha. Conclusions. Impulse irrigation at different interphase periods of rice growing with soil moisture at the end of each pulse of at least 85 % of the lowest moisture capacity does not affect grain yield adversely. In the control variant of the experiment, the rice yield was 74.5 dt/ha, on impulse irrigation in the “germination – tillering” phase – 7.61 dt/ha, “booting – flowering” – 75.6 dt/ha, “ripening” – 75.3 dt/ha. In general, the cost savings were from 549.83 to 1490.71 rubles/ha when introducing an impulse irrigation regime for rice in various interphase periods in the experiment.

Purpose: to study the effect of a humic preparation and plant protection agents on the content of agronomically valuable aggregate fractions, their water stability and total carbohydrate content. Materials and methods. The experiment was carried out on ordinary carbonate chernozem at Federal Rostov Agricultural Research Centre station. Soil samples were analyzed by the method of dry and wet sieving, the assessment was carried out according to the value of structure coefficients, aggregate water stability and the API criterion, the content of total carbohydrates was determined in agronomically valuable fractions by Dubois method. Results. In terms of the structure coefficient, when compared with the control, a significant difference was noted in 2018 when a humic preparation was applied together with protective agents (Δ = +0.65), in 2019 in the variant with a humic preparation (Δ = +4.23), in 2020 the results were similar. The dynamics of water-stable aggregate content had a similar character: the treatment of crops with a humic preparation gave an increase in the number of agronomically valuable aggregates, in comparison with the control: in 2018, Δ = +5.81 %, in 2019 Δ = +21.3 %. In 2020, an increase was obtained in the variant with a humic preparation and when applied together with pesticides: +12.05 and +18.1 %, respectively. The water stable criterion (the API criterion) showed significant difference with the control in the variant of using pesticides and humate (Δ = +20.59 %). In the variant with pesticides, the decrease in the API criterion is insignificant. In 2020, after treatment with the preparations, the content of carbohydrates in the structural separates varied from 0.86 to 1.05 %; in comparison with the control, a significant difference was observed: respectively, Δ = +0.08 % and Δ = +0.06 % in the variant with humate and humate with pesticides. Conclusions. The humic preparation has a positive effect on the structural and aggregate composition, and the water stability of soil separates increases.

Materials and methods. The developed water metering device consists of instrumentation and a section of a hydraulic structure. The instrumentation includes a level sensor (hydrostatic pressure sensor) and an autonomous remote control unit, consisting of a modem controller, a battery, a GSM antenna. The section of a hydraulic structure is a fortified section of an open channel that meets the requirements for measuring water discharge using the “velocity – area” method when calibrating and verifying measuring instruments. Results. At the first stage of testing, as a result of determining the level-flow characteristic in the control section of the channel, the equation Q = f(h) = 0.4961h² + 1.7319h – 0.4687 with a relative error of 2.67 % was derived, which was used for further calibration of the water metering device. At the second stage, testing of instrumental equipment was carried out with the determining the value of the relative measurement error, which was 2.23 %. As a result, the total relative measurement error of the monitored water metering device was 4.90 %, which does not exceed 5% and meets the requirements for similar measuring instruments. Conclusions. Based on the results of the studies, an algorithm has been developed for assessing the performance and determining the measurement error for new tested water metering devices, consisting of instrumental equipment (including a level sensor) and a hydraulic structure (open channel) that meets the requirements for measuring water discharge by the “velocity – area” method.

Purpose: to study the effect of nodule bacteria strains on the soybean growth, development and yield under irrigation on the soils of Rostov region. Materials and methods. Field studies were carried out on meadow-chernozem soils of Rostov region under irrigation in 2019–2021. The scheme of the experiment included five options: control (without inoculation), inoculation with Atuva + Premax containing nodule bacteria strains, inoculation with strain 835, inoculation with strain 733, inoculation with strain 640. Field experiments were carried out in accordance with generally accepted methods, taking into account zonal features. Results. It was found that by the bean filling phase, more active growth of soybean plants was in the variant with treatment with Atuva + Premax and in the variant with strain 835 – 117.7 and 112.8 cm, which is 9.2 and 4.3 cm higher, respectively than in control. The greatest increase in soybean dry biomass compared to the control was also found in the variants with Atuva + Premax (by 23 %) and with strain 835 (by 19 %), in other variants from 10 % (strain 640) to 9 % (strain 733). In the bean flowering and filling phase, foliage was also formed to a greater extent in the variants with Atuva + Premax and with strain 835. Of these two strains, Atuva + Premax is productive in all physiological parameters. Strains 733 and 640 are identical in terms of the increase in the leaf area duration. The highest yield of soybean variety Riana was obtained for 3 years in the variants with Atuva + Premax and strain 835 (4.43 and 4.35 t/ha, respectively, which is higher than the yield of the control variant by 21 and 19 %). Conclusions. The conducted studies have proved the productivity of all nodule bacteria strains used for these soil and climatic conditions when cultivating soybeans under irrigation.

The regional cooperation in cinema industry of Iberoamerican countries
Authors: Belova Ekaterina
Published: February 2022

Iberoamerican countries have been developing regional integration in cinema industry since 1960. The advantages of the integration were the reduction of the cost of producing films and the expansion of their distribution in local film markets. The fund for financing the production of films that has the longest history and the most widespread recognition in this region is the Ibermedia program, which has been functioning since the end of the 20th century. The article analyses the structure of film distribution of Iberoamerican countries: at the beginning of the XXI century the share of films produced by the USA in cinema was an average of 84%. The low representation of Iberoamerican films is partially compensated by Ibermedia-TV, which collects up to 500 million views. In contrast to the expansion of American film producers, the countries of the region are developing co-production (mainly with each other) under the Ibermedia program. The co-production leads to the growth of the cinema industry in Colombia and Chile. Co-production also plays the key role in both the production and distribution of films for the worldwide noticeable leaders of the region – Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Mexico. The main contribution to the development of cinema industry in Iberoamerica is the regional integration driven by Ibermedia.

Readjusting teaching instruments. Online dictionaries in the spotlight
Authors:   Transilvania University of Brasov, VALCEA Cristina
Published: February 2022

The recent world medical condition (COVID 19) has triggered unimaginable changes to a domain where changes are well thought of long before implementation and where advancements are slow and costly. The domain is none other than education which has found itself deprived of the most basic facilitator: the physical presence of both teachers and pupils/ students in classrooms. The response of the system to the medical crisis has been intuitive, at times individual, as it came down to each teacher’s material and inner resources to find an advantageous solution for students. On the other end, lured by the possibility of spending extensive time on computers while attending classes, students have had different attitudes to learning and taking advantage of all the technological advances available. This article is a small-scale analysis of how the students understand to continue and deepen the study of foreign languages by retorting to online dictionaries which have been introduced as vital and indispensable tools in general and even more in times of medical insecurity.

The paper focuses first on the novelties accessible to foreign language learning adults by MALL and mobile language learning, thus drawing a brief overview of the research into novel affordances they offer and implications for a new language learning methodology. Secondly, we explore attitudes of adult learners (tertiary students, academic and administrative staff) to studying or improving language skills in various languages immersed in the ICT, in particular the options proposed by the language learning mobile apps. In order to gather adult learners’ views, a quantitative research, based on an e-questionnaire, was carried out among 1028 participants from 6 EU countries within the international LanGuide project. The results of this research lead to re-evaluation of some teaching approaches and suggest recommendations for teaching practitioners and materials developers.
Corpus-based typology analysis of abbreviations in the European Commission's Mobility related documents
Authors:   University of Zadar, Croatia, FABIJANIĆ Ivo , MALENICA Frane ,   University of Zadar, Croatia
Published: February 2022

In this paper, we provide a typological overview of abbreviations found in the corpus of Erasmus+ mobility documents, presented as an overview of the classification and taxonomic arrangement of abbreviations. The corpus was created from the texts available on the Erasmus+ website using the in-built tools of the Sketch Engine interface and it includes a representative sample of 4 million words. The abbreviations were collected using the concordance queries which enable us to retrieve lemmas written with only capital letters (e.g. OLS for ‘Online Linguistic Support’) and subsequent manual filtering. The typology is based on previous works in this field (Fabijanić: 2015; Fabijanić: 2014a, 2014b; Malenica, Fabijanić: 2013; Fabijanić, Malenica: 2013), which provided a more consistent and more transparent approach to classification of abbreviations, based on different other works and approaches (Fandrych: 2008a; Fandrych: 2008b; Harley: 2006; López Rúa: 2006; Jackson, Ze Amvela: 2005; López Rúa: 2004; Plag: 2003; Plag: 2001; Stockwell, Minkova: 2001; Crystal: 1995; Algeo: 1991; Cannon: 1989). Abbreviations are classified according to two criteria: narrower and broader sense and their differences in orthographic formation are described by the set of specific descriptors. The suggested description, classification, and analysis were previously used in examining different terminologies and are used in this work to prove their applicability and sustainability.

The present paper aims at describing the uncharacteristic illustration of working with the cultural element when teaching a foreign language against the background of the classicised approaches in this respect, in the context of the LanGuide project, whose objectives are to provide the users with a mobile application for learning and testing foreign languages. The approach tackled by the authors of the exercises, who are also the authors of the present study, combines two aspects from the traditional methodologies i.e., the inclusion of host-country cultural items in tasks devised in and for the English language, in order to meet the requirements and goals of the LanGuide project. Thus, students, teachers and administrative staff members involved in Erasmus+ mobility who need to learn their English language knowledge in the fields of mobility, administration, IT, and/or academic may find useful cultural elements of the countries they will visit while polishing their skills for English.

This paper deals with mythological elements in Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula. It discusses the mythical topos of Transylvania, seen as an exotic land, a scene for romantic events and characters. This place becomes a territory of passage, with mysterious forests, mountains, and a castle placed at the heart of the mystery. The un-dead / immortal Dracula is seen as a character of classic mythology / immortality, the story of life after death, and elements rooted in folklore — both Romanian and Irish. Because of the censorship in the Victorian Age, Bram Stoker placed the seeds of mythology encoded in his text. For his contemporaries, Dracula appears as evil and must be killed. The next generations disseminated the mythology of Dracula, each according to their cultural level and taste, from Nosferatu to The Vampire Diaries.
Two folktales (Vampire beings in Greek folktales)

This paper attempts to elaborate how the vampire theme is conceptualized in Greek folktales. It’s a case study of the Greek folk tales: “Gelloudi” and “The Lamia bride” found in the compilation Paramythokores (2002). The folktale complies with a strict formulaic style of oral narration and the most time-resilient elements of storytelling are the motifs that create the story. We find similar or echoing motifs in folktales globally; some motifs are darker than others, enhancing the agony and thrill of storytelling. Concerning the Greek folktale, the research led to the classification of six dark motifs. Bloodsucking creatures such as Strigla (in Latin: Strigula, Strix), Gello (gelloudi) and Lamia are found in the dark motif of the supernatural. The tales, in this case study, are horror stories, in a sense, but they evolve in a broad form of narration, depriving the reader of gruesome details and delivering a cathartic ending. The vampire theme is not dominating in the first folktale as a result of the combination of three folktale types, whereas the second one focuses solely on this theme. In both cases the creatures are female attacking animals, men and community, symbolizing the heavy price of the birth of a girl in the family, as it was perceived in these traditional communities. A baby girl and a new bride, attack the world of men. They are powerful and feared, they are ‘horse-eaters’ symbolizing the threat of depriving the established status for men, first by eating their horse and then by eating them.
Magia Posthuma: Karl Ferdinand von Schertz, Calmet and revenant beliefs
Authors:   Independent researcher, Denmark, PETERSEN Niels Kristian
Published: February 2022

Considered lost for many years, Karl Ferdinand von Schertz’s Magia Posthuma from 1706 has gained the reputation of an influential book on vampires. Recent research shows that the book itself deals exclusively with Moravian revenant and witchcraft beliefs, and that the book had a limited impact on the vampire debate of the eighteenth century. Similarly, the term ‘magia posthuma’ appears to have had limited use before it was employed by the Habsburg court of Maria Theresa in her ruling against superstitious acts towards corpses.
The Russian editions of Dracula
Authors:   Independent researcher and rare book hunter, Italy, BERNI Simone
Published: February 2022

Until recently, the Russian editions of Dracula have not received any attention and study. Within the framework of research for my book Dracula di Bram Stoker – il mistero delle prime edizioni (2014), I have looked into the earliest Russian-language editions, as well as the later publications, both in the Soviet Union era and afterwards. The confusion about the authorship of the novel turned out to be a red thread: Dracula was originally attributed to Marie Corelli (Mary Mackay), while works by Corelli were attributed to Stoker. Almost a century after the release of Dracula in 1897, this error reappeared in republications of Corelli’s and Stoker’s work in regions formerly belonging to the Soviet Union.

Este estudo buscou elucidar a relação entre a cultura patriarcal e a ocorrência de feminicídio íntimo no Estado do Ceará. Trata-se de pesquisa documental, realizada por meio de reportagens de jornais, cujo ponto de interseção foi o assassinato de mulheres por seus ex- ou atuais companheiros. A busca se deu em 3 periódicos locais (Diário do Nordeste, G1 Ceará e O Povo Online), com uso dos descritores feminicídios e feminicídios íntimos no Estado do Ceará e recorte de uma década para análise e discussão. Foram selecionados 54 casos de feminicídio ocorridos entre 2011 e 2021. Buscou-se compreender os principais aspectos históricos relacionados à cultura patriarcal vigente e às nuances da violência contra a mulher. Alguns marcadores foram evidenciados de modo recorrente nos casos de feminicídio, como violência anterior ao crime, ciúmes e a não aceitação do fim do relacionamento. Constatou-se que a maioria dos casos de feminicídio íntimo ocorre no interior do estado, contexto que pode incidir sobre uma expressão mais contundente da cultura patriarcal e do machismo. Além disso, lançamos como reflexão possíveis dificuldades de acesso aos direitos sociais básicos, que poderiam proporcionar uma rede de proteção e apoio às mulheres.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral disease caused by a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that affects the respiratory system of infected individuals. COVID-19 spreads between humans through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The COVID-19 outbreak originated in Wuhan, China at the end of 2019. As of 29 Sept 2020, over 235 countries, areas or territories across the globe reported a total of 33,441,919 confirmed cases, and 1,003,497 confirmed deaths due to COVID-19. Individuals of all ages are at risk for infection, but in most cases disease severity is associated with age and pre-existing diseases that compromise immunity, like cancer. Numerous reports suggest that people with cancer can be at higher risk of severe illness and related deaths from COVID-19. Therefore, managing cancer care under this pandemic is challenging and requires a collaborative multidisciplinary approach for optimal care of cancer patients in hospital settings. In this comprehensive review, we discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer patients, their care, and treatment. Further, this review covers the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, genome characterization, COVID-19 pathophysiology, and associated signaling pathways in cancer, and the choice of anticancer agents as repurposed drugs for treating COVID-19.

Published: February 2022

The development of metabolic disorders occurs in psoriasis: insulin resistance, systemic inflammation, atherosclerosis, oxidative stress and obesity. The paper presents pathological biochemical pathways of metabolic disorders development which is caused by common cytokine profile chara-cteristic for psoriasis and obesity and they are tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-8 (IL-8). The following links play a role in the development of insulin resistance: insulin receptor (IRS-1) and insulin receptor substrate (SIR-1), glucose transporter protein (GLUT-4), also there is a decrease in the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway (PI3AKT) activity, and an increase in the mitogen activating protein kinase (MAPK) activity. Factors influencing the development of inflammation are discussed: IL-6, C-reactive protein, tissue plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), proinflammatory adipokines; processes of vascular inflammation development, atherosclerosis development and oxidative stress. This article discusses endocrine disruption of adipocytes in obesity and the influence of adipokines and inflammatory mediators synthesized by fat cells on psoriatic disease. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) due to vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency, and a 5,10-methylfolate reductase (MTHFR) mutation are also important in the clinical manifestations of psoriasis. The possibility of assessing metabolic disorders and dysfunction of various organs by changes in the levels of metabolites in the blood and skin of patients with psoriasis is discussed.
