Published: February 2024

Background: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a common neoplastic disease, is associated with the accumulation of B-lymphocytes in the hematopoietic organs. A main characteristic of CLL cells is the failure to undergo apoptosis, thus resulting in resistance to several chemotherapeutics. Doxorubicin (DOX), an anthracycline widely used for treating various neoplasms including CLL, induces apoptosis via several mechanisms. Despite this, CLL cells become resistant to DOX. A major protein known as B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), known to exert direct anti-apoptotic effects on the cell, is reported to be overexpressed in CLL cells. Methods: We aimed to silence the Bcl-2 gene by siRNA. Mononuclear cells were isolated from the peripheral blood and bone marrow of eleven untreated CLL patients by Ficoll-Paque. To transfect cells, we used Lipofectamine. Bcl-2 expression was investigated using qRT-PCR. Next, we studied the effect of Bcl-2 silencing in combination with DOX treatment on the viability of cells by an MTT (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. Results: Bcl-2 expression was significantly suppressed in CLL cells following siRNA transfection via lipofectamine. Based on the results of MTT, the inhibition of Bcl-2 sensitized CLL cells to DOX treatment. Also, the effect of the treatment was time-dependent. Conclusion: These findings imply that combination therapy of CLL using anti-Bcl-2 siRNA and DOX can be considered a practical therapeutic approach that should be further evaluated in future studies.

Published: February 2024

Background: One of the new emerging techniques to preserve reproductive potential of cancer patients is cryopreservation of ovarian fragments prior to medical treatment and their re-transplantation after healing. In order to investigate and compare apoptosis in ovarian tissue, the current study has done while using different vitrification solutions. Methods: The ovaries of Balb/c mice were removed from the body. R ovaries autotransplanted and L ovaries vitrified and thawed in different solutions. Apoptosis-related genes (Bax, Bcl-2, Bid, P53) assessed by RT-PCR. Results: The results have shown that Bax and P53 expression showed significant changes in DCV3, but in DCV2 only p53 expression decreased considerably in vitrified-thawed group. Conclusion: We concluded that cryoprotectant solution is important for preserving tissue in vitrification process and in our study DCV2 showed better results than DCV3.

Published: February 2024

Background: The omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), shows anti-proliferative effects in cancer cell lines and animal models. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is one of the regulators for the proliferation and survival of cancer cells. This study focused on the effect of DHA on cellular and exosomal expression of mTOR and related tumor-suppressor microRNAs (miRs) in triple-positive (BT-474) and triple-negative (MDA-MB-231) breast cancer (BC) cell lines. Methods: BT-474 and MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with 100 μM DHA under hypoxic and normoxic conditions for 24 hours. The exosomes were isolated by ultracentrifuge and determined by electron microscopy and CD9, CD63, and CD81 immunoblotting. cDNAs from cellular and exosomal total RNA were used for evaluation of the expression of mTOR and related tumor-suppressor miRs, miR-101 and miR-214, by quantitative real-time PCR. Results: We demonstrated that DHA significantly decreased cellular and exosomal expression of mTOR in both normoxic and hypoxic conditions for both cell lines. Consistently, DHA caused significantly increased expression of miR-214 in all treated groups. However, altered expression of miR-101 showed different patterns in cells and exosomes. Conclusion: According to the beneficial effect of DHA in decreasing the expression of a master regulator for the proliferation of cancer cells, mTOR, in part by increased expression of miR-214, it could be used as a supplementary therapy in BC treatment. Also, miRNA replacement therapy would be useful by suppressing the expression of mTOR in BC treatment.
Ovarian Sertoli cell tumor: A rare case of sex cord stromal tumor in a three-year female
Authors: Fekri Kiavash , Rahmati Shima
Published: February 2024

Sertoli–Leydig cell tumors (SLCTs), also known as androblastoma, are rare, accounting for less than 1% of ovarian neoplasms. The clinical manifestations of SLCT range from asymptomatic to severe virilization. The majority of Sertoli cell tumors are highly differentiated, with homogeneous nuclei and few mitotic signs among the neoplastic cells. This study is a case report of a 3-year-old girl who was admitted to Kashani hospital with abdominal pain and a protruding stomach. On the right side of the abdomen, there was a large, lump palpable. Inhibin, calretinin, actine, and WT1 were all detected as positive by immunohistochemistry (IHC) testing. However, CD30, NSE, synaptophysin, vimentin, chromogranin, S100, and AFP were all detected to be negative. Additional information about ovarian sex cord tumors is provided in this case. Sertoli cell tumor should be considered a differential diagnosis in a young girl who has hirsutism, irregular bleeding, and breast atrophy with a pelvic mass.
Risk assessment of heavy metals in brands of lipsticks commonly used in Shahrekord, Iran
Authors: Khodabakhshi Abbas , Bagherzadeh Farideh
Published: February 2024

The desire for beauty and frequent use of cosmetics can expose humans to heavy metals, which can cause immune system disorders over time. We selected 5 common lipstick brands to determine the concentrations of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and chromium (Cr). We prepared each sample by acid digestion, and then the concentration of the metals was measured using an atomic absorption spectrometer. The results showed that Pb, Cd, and Cr were present in all lipstick samples. However, their concentrations were lower than the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards. The maximum concentrations of Pb and Cd were 2.31 mg/kg (brand A) and 0.037 mg/kg (brand D), respectively. Health risk assessment of the examined metals showed that only Cr can pose non-carcinogenic (14.98) and carcinogenic (44.96E-04) risks to consumers. Despite the low concentration of heavy metals in our study, chronic use of lipstick can pose carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks due to the presence of Cr.
Three Women, Three Generations: An In-Depth Case Study of Language Retention and Shift in One Family from the Maltese Australian Community in Melbourne
Authors: Muscat Adrian
Published: February 2024

This paper analysis one family pertaining to the Maltese Australian community in Melbourne and investigates the retention of the Maltese language. The Maltese Australian community is a small community that is getting smaller since migration from Malta to Australia has largely stopped. Thus, the Maltese language is spoken mostly by the first generation of immigrants who left the island after the Second World War seeking a better future. The second generation, born in Australia, usually understands the language but lacks the opportunity or the will to speak the language except with members of the family. The third generation, raised in a multicultural country, normally has very little fluency in the Maltese language. The investigation is grounded in interview data gathered among a family of three generations of Maltese origin in Melbourne. The findings of this research show that the aging population of the Maltese community and the dominance of the English language do not favour the retention of the Maltese language in the future. With the end of the first generation of post-World War Two migrants and the emergence of the fourth and fifth generations, probably, there will be an absolute shift to English, the de-facto national language of Australia.

Published: February 2024

Hormonal contraception, which uses estrogen and progesterone preparations, is a contemporary method of contraception that is popular among active birth control participants. Apart from stopping population growth, it also has negative effects on its users. The side effect of increasing body weight can occur due to the nature of the acceptor and the use of hormonal contraceptives for a long period of time. The aim of the study was to detect changes in body weight of hormonal birth control acceptors based on age, parity and length of use of contraception using a multiple linear regression model. Non-experimental quantitative analytical research method with a cross sectional design. The research was conducted at several PMBs in Palembang City in July-September 2023 with samples consisting of hormonal birth control acceptors taken using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using questionnaires and body weight measurements and analyzed by multiple linear regression. The results of the research show that the prediction model for weight change = 5.789 - 0.098 Age + 1.4 Parity - 0.008 Length of birth control. Weight gain will definitely affect the health of the recipient and can increase the risk of obesity if it continues. To maintain a stable weight, birth control acceptors must pay attention to their daily diet and exercise regularly. It is very important to obtain information about the effects caused by the use of hormonal birth control with a high number of parities and ages at risk.
first record of the rare Leucetta avocado sponge from Sangihe Islands, Indonesia
Authors: Rieuwpassa Frets J. , Balansa Walter
Published: February 2024

Calcareous sponges represent the rarest class of marine sponges, constituting only 4% of the currently known sponge species globally. While abundant of demosponges have been reported from various locations in Indonesia, only 40 species of calcareous sponges have been identified in the country over the past 200 years. This suggests the rarity of these sponges and a significant knowledge gap regarding the Leucetta sponge in Indonesia. The objective of this study was to describe the biology of a calcareous sponge belonging to the genus Leucetta, which was collected from the Sangihe Islands in Indonesia. Morphological analysis was conducted using a modified acid digestion method, and the obtained data were compared to reported data for Leucetta sponges. The sponge exhibited triactine spicules, which are characteristic of Leucetta species. The number list of Indonesian Leucetta sponges was determined through a literature search. Previous research indicated that 40 identified calcareous sponges were reported in Indonesia between 1890 and 2023. Interestingly, L. avocado is known as a native sponge to Palau, although this species and closely related species have been reported elsewhere. Therefore, it is predicted that the current distribution of L. avocado in the Sangihe Islands and Bali could be attributed to a combination of the Indonesian Throughflow, sexual propagation, or stepping stone scenarios. This research provides new insights into the biology of L. avocado from Indonesia.

Published: February 2024

The red palm plant (Cyrtostachys renda) is a species of the Areca genus that grows widely in Jambi Province, making it an affordable plant to research for its medicinal properties. The Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) is a toxicity test to screen for anticancer bioactive substances, with the test subject being Artemia salina Leach larvae, which are highly sensitive when exposed to toxic substances. The fruit and roots of C. renda were extracted using the maceration method by using a methanol solvent and partitioning using n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and water. Based on the extract toxicity evaluation results, all extracts were toxic. Meanwhile, C.renda root dichloromethane extract had the highest toxic properties, with an LC50 value of 43.42 ± 0.659 ppm. However, the positive control's toxicity, potassium dichromate, was more toxic, with an LC50 value of 29.93 ± 0.668 ppm. The dichloromethane extract of C. renda roots can potentially be a poisonous agent. Further toxicity tests on cancer cells need to be carried out to be developed as an anticancer agent.

The Free Movement of People in SADC
Authors: Vhumbunu Clayton Hazvinei , Adetiba Toyin Cotties , Mawire Charity
Published: February 2024

The Southern African Development Community (SADC) member states committed under Article 5(2) (d) of the SADC Treaty to develop policies aimed at the progressive elimination of the obstacles to the free movement of capital, labour, goods and services. The 2005 SADC Protocol on the Movement of People was celebrated as a giant step towards the realization of the regional integration objective of building SADC into a regional community that is fully integrated where citizens enjoy the freedom of movement across regional borders. Whilst substantial efforts have been invested in developing various legal and policy frameworks to open up borders for the free movement of people within SADC, thirty (30) years since the formation of SADC in April 1980 as the Southern African Development Coordination Conference (SADCC); the region is facing serious challenges relating to the free movement of people, migration and labour movement. In reality, SADC member states’ governments have been confronted with serious feasibility challenges, complexities, risks and dilemmas as they attempt to implement commitments made towards the free movement of people in the region, with political, security, economic, strategic, and technical factors often cited as obstacles. This paper sought to critically reflect on the feasibility aspects, policy dilemmas at member state level as well as strategic considerations that stand on the way of free movement of people in SADC. The focus was on examining possibilities, capacities and prospects of SADC member states (in their collectivity and individuality) in addressing the underlying, structural and operational obstacles that are impeding the free movement of people in the region. Secondary data sources are used for analysis, and the three concepts of free movement of people, migration and regional integration provide conceptual lenses for analysis. Findings are key in providing perspectives on how SADC member states may need to collectively address the fundamental questions and issues that facilitate the free movement of people in the region.

Published: February 2024

The rise of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and the severity of the 2008 global financial crisis have sparked a new round of debate about the long-term viability of transatlantic norms, ideas , and institutions that have dominated global governance since its commencement. Many of the bodies and organizations that contribute towards global governance were formed between 1945 and 1980 , and have been dominated by Western actors and an agenda centered on the West. To support the main argument of the author there are various chapters in the book Future of the BRICS and the Role of Russia and China that focus on The Evolution of Brics and the international system, Russia and BRICS, China and BRICS and Russia and China in BRICS: Convergences and Divergences. The strength of this book is that it is based on empirical evidence and it address pertinent questions on BRICS , contemporary international relations and monetary institutions. Most importantly, the book sheds light on the future of BRICS and the international financial system by providing a clear overview of BRICS and Unipolar and Bipolar world order systems.
Regard socio-historique sur les contradictions positionnelles et présentielles des Burkinabè et des Sénégalaises dans la politique.
Authors: NDIAYE Ndeye Astou
Published: February 2024

Political science has been dealing with the object "woman" since the mid-1950s, along with the variable "sex" in political behavior, and this article claims to be part of the field of political sociology, but also of feminist studies in Africa. Its objective is to come back, from a historical point of view, on the possibility of a considerable presence and position of women in Burkina Faso and Senegal while emphasizing the existing controversies which divert them in a first time, from the political scenes and to have, in a second time, a situation answering the legality. This reflection wonders therefore about the existing contradictions of the presence and the political position of the Burkinabe and Senegalese women?
Certainly, the observation made in these two countries for which we have an intuitive discernment, points out the historical dynamism of women in the fight for the acquisition of their rights, notably political. Only internally, it is also perceptible that clear efforts remain to be made both in terms of the presence of women on the political scene and in terms of positions or places occupied within parties or in nominative and elective functions.
