Published: May 2019

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, açık vasküler cerrahi girişim gerçekleştirilen hastalar ile abdominal aortaya endovasküler girişim gerçekleştirilmiş hastaların postoperatif dönemde ağrılarını ve analjezik ihtiyaçlarını karşılaştırmak amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç  ve Yöntem: Araştırma Ocak 2014- Aralık 2015 yıllarında merkezimizde abdominal aortaya açık cerrahi ve EVAR uygulanan hastalarda retrospektif olarak yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya 68 hasta dahil edilmiştir ancak 7 hasta öldüğü için çalışma dışı kalmıştır. 22 hastaya açık cerrahi uygulanırken 39 hastaya EVAR uygulanmıştır. Ağrı değerlendirilmesinde kliniğimizin protokolü olarak yedi yaş üzeri çocuklarda, erişkin ve bilinci açık hastada sayısal/sözlü/vizüel ağrı ölçeği kullanılmaktadır. 
Bulgular:  Araştırma kapsamına alınan hastaların %63.9’una EVAR uygulanırken %36.1’ine açık cerrahi uygulandı. EVAR grubunun yaş ortalaması 67.35±11.05, açık cerrahi grubunun 64.22±13.53 idi. EVAR grubun ağrı skoru 1.35±0.82 iken, açık cerrahi grubunun 4.81±1.32 idi. EVAR uygulanan hastaların ağrı puanları açık cerrahi uygulananlara kıyasla daha düşüktü (p=0.000). EVAR grubunun %59’u, açık cerrahi grubunun ise %90.9’u ağrı kesici kullanmıştır (p=0.009). 
Sonuç: Ağrı durumları değerlendirildiğinde açık cerrahi işlem uygulanan hastaların EVAR uygulanan hastalara kıyasla ağrılarının daha fazla olduğu görülmüştür. Günümüzde endovasküler girişimler artan sıklıkta uygulanmaktadır. Endovasküler girişimlerin hasta konforu ve  özellikle cerrahi işlem sonrası hastaların sıklıkla yakındıkları ağrı üzerinde postoperatif dönemde olumlu etkileri vardır.

Abstract:Acute coronary syndromes compose a major proportion of sudden deaths, globally. Patients diagnosed with myocardial infarction due to sudden chest pain should be immediately referred to percutaneous coronary angiography (PTCA) as soon as possible. In order to decrease the mortality rate due to acute coronary syndromes and deadly cardiac arrhythmias, the electrocardiography (ECG) knowledge of the ambulance staff who transfer the patients to the hospitals is important. As such, we aimed to evaluate the level of electrocardiography knowledge by conducting a survey on the ambulance staff in the province of Sivas.A total of one hundred seventy-eight healthcare professionals working in ambulances in the centre and districts of Sivas were included in the study, including nurses, paramedics and emergency medical technicians. The participants were asked to answer survey questions about their working experience, education, age, and completion of a special ECG course and they were expected to interpret 12 different ECGs.The ratios of correct ECG diagnosis were as follows; anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), 84.3% (n=150); inferior STEMI, 89.9% (n=160); lateral STEMI, 77.5% (n=138); normal ECG, 64% (n=114); ventricular fibrillation (VF) , 28.1% (n=50); supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), 57.3% (n=102); VT, 17.4% (n=31); and artificial ECG, 13.5% (n=24). According to the results, paramedics had higher correct diagnosis ratios in right bundle branch block and AV complete block compared to EMTs and nurses (<0,001), and EMTs were better in correctly diagnosing left ventricular hypertrophy (p=0,011).In our study, it was shown that profession, working experience and status of ECG education in the recent year did not make a significant difference on ECG assessment results, suggesting to revise the in-service training.

Landscape-based fire scenarios and fire types in the Ayllón massif (Central Mountain Range, Spain), 19th and 20th centuries
Authors: Sequeira C.R. , Montiel-Molina C. , Rego F.C.
Published: May 2019

Wildfires have been a major landscape disturbance factor throughout history in inland mountain areas of Spain. This paper aims to understand the interaction of fire regimes and landscape dynamics during the last two centuries within a socio-spatial context. The study area selected for this historical and spatial analysis is the Ayllón massif, in the Central Mountain Range. The theoretical background used to identify the driving forces of fire regime changes over the 19th and 20th centuries in this mountain area includes landscape-based fire scenarios and fire-type concepts. Both concepts have been addressed in recent studies from a spatial planning and fire management approach in an attempt to understand current fire landscapes and wildfire risk. However, this is the first time that these concepts have been applied to show that both spatial and temporal scales are crucial for an understanding of the current wildfire panorama, and that fire history related to landscape dynamics is fundamental in socio-spatial differences in fire regimes.Four variables (fire history, land use, population and settlement system, and forest management) were assessed to define historical landscape-based fire scenarios, and three fire feature variables (fire extent, fire cause, and spatial distribution pattern) were considered to define historical fire-types. We found that the non-linear evolution of fire regimes during the 19th and 20th centuries was determined by fire-type changes according to landscape dynamics. Moreover, population and forest management have been the main driving forces of fire regime tipping points or pyrotransitions. This study validates the hypothesis that fire regime changes are the result of the interaction of fire history and landscape dynamics.

Authors: Vargas Álvarez Sebastián
Published: May 2019

This article reflects the experience of the Young people and the bicentenary workshop, held at the Colonial Museum in Bogota from April to August 2010. It explains how the workshop was carried out and who participated in it. It also analyzes the reflections of the workshop participants with respect to the concepts of History and Independence, and presents the contributions arising from the workshop to enrich the debate about the teaching and learning of History. I intend to show how various strategies such as the use of images and exhibitions in history museums, role-playing games, and bringing historical reflection closer to the everyday life of children and adolescents, can be used as alternatives to a traditional way to teach history.

Published: May 2019

This study was carried out in a Colombian institution located in the city of Bogota which offers professional-technical programs. This paper presents the results of a comparative study of students’ perceptions of a Clinical Bio-ethics course in the Oral Health Professional-Technical Program. The comparison is made between students who took the course as designed and implemented by the Health Faculty for many years and a new proposal using a model based on formative research. Interviews and open-question surveys were used to examine activities and their relationship with learning ethics, as well as the relevance of the course to the students’ future careers. The results show that course design directly affects the perceived relevance of the course to the students’ profession, as well as in the characterization of the learning process.

Since 2004 the Colombian State has presented a series of projects aimed at improving English learning processes and the training of teachers and students at all levels of the education system. In doing so, the Colombian State seeks to comply with current international standards for teaching English. It is against this background that programs such as the “National Bilingual Program” (2004-2010), the “Program for the Strengthening of the Development of Competences in Foreign Languages” 2010-2014” and the “National English Program” (2015-2025) have managed to establish themselves as key projects whose goal is to further both the quality of education and the teaching and learning of foreign languages. With regards to English as a foreign language, the Education Secretariat for Bogotá launched the program known as “Bilingual Bogotá”  through the implementation of pilot projects in eight schools in 2006. The Program is based on the guidelines set by the Colombian Education Ministry in its “National Bilingual Program”. This article is part of a study in bilingualism funded by the University of La Salle. The study took educational research as its frame of reference and adopted an explanatory and descriptive research standpoint. As a result of the concepts and opinions of principals, coordinators and teachers from five public schools, the article offers a description and analysis of three different aspects regarding the implementation of the projects: backgrounds, resources and external support, and expectations. Finally, some recommendations are provided in order to help achieve educational goals and curriculum objectives in terms of bilingual education in the city.

Under discussion is optimization of texture and chemical composition of alumina as the support for the catalyst for hydrotreatment of vacuum gasoil synthesized using the environmentally friendly modern technology of flash thermal treatment of gibbsite. Approaches to increasing the specific surface area by introducing inorganic admixtures (including boron or sulfur) at the stage of synthesis of pseudoboehmite were developed. The introduction of these modifiers was established to increase SBET by 50–100 m2/g comparing to the maximal areas attaineddue to variation in the standard process parameters of the hydrothermal treatment. It was shown that the introduction of boron at the stage of pseudoboehmite synthesis resulted in no less than two times increase in the catalytic activity of CoNiMoP to hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrogenation against the activity of a similar catalyst with boron introduced with the impregnating solution.

Published: May 2019

The aim of this review was to describe the preferred charged nano-particles (CNPs) for targeted delivery in tumor cells. Zeta Potential (ZP), which represents the surface charge of NPs was highlighted in cell entrance and interactions. In this regard, various types of endocytosis pathways which are involved in NPs’ uptake were first introduced. Then, significance of positively charged NPs (PCNPs) in proton sponge effect corresponding to lysosomal escape was discussed. Cells prefer to endocyte the NPs with positive charge in passive targeting and gene delivery, while in active targeting; the charge of receptors’ ligand binding site determines the NPs cellular uptake. Moreover, pH-sensitive NPs represent charge reversible behavior depending on pH changes which leads to longer blood circulation residence and higher uptake at acidic microenvironment of the cancer media. Role of the CNPs in overcoming multidrug resistance (MDR) and bypassing p-glycoprotein was further investigated.

Authors: Fadeeva Natalya P. , Poludetkina Elena N. , Petrichenko Yury A.
Published: May 2019

Oil-geological work in the Pripyat oil and gas basin has been going on for over 70 years; to date, more then 80 oil and gas fields have been discovered there, but due to the ever-growing need for energy consumption, work on the identification of new resources is constantly continuing. Geochemical studies of oil deposits, as well as 3D modeling of the processes of generation, emigration and accumulation of hydrocarbons, taking into account all risk factors, made it possible to identify promising objects for oil and gas exploration in the subsalt and intersalt carbonate complexes. The calculated scales of generation, emigration and accumulation of hydrocarbons, carried out as a result of geochemical and basin modeling, turned out to be comparable and showed that the oil and gas source potential of the Devonian sediments of the Pripyat trough was realized by no more than one third.

Variability Map of Objective Function for Analysis of Global Optimization Problem Characteristic Features
Authors: Agasiev T.A.
Published: May 2019

Methods of landscape analysis are developed to estimate various characteristic features of the objective function in the optimization problem. The accuracy of the estimates largely depends on the chosen method of experiment design for the landscape sampling, i.e. on the number and location of points in the search space forming a discrete representation of the objective function landscape. The method of information content is the most resistant to changes in the experiment design but requires route building to bypass the obtained points of landscape sampling. A method of characterization of the optimization problem objective function is proposed on the base of landscape sampling without building a route to bypass its points. The notion of a variability map of objective function is introduced. The informativeness criteria are formulated for groups of points of a landscape sample. A method of constructing the so-called full variability map is proposed as well as the function of generalized information content for the analysis of the characteristic features of the objective function. The method allows obtaining more accurate estimates of target function characteristics which are resistant to variations of the experiment design

Published: May 2019

The article considers the idea of reducing littering the near-Earth space by means of spent stage jettisons into the Earth's atmosphere. A solution to the problem of optimization of the apsidal impulse transfer between the reference circular orbit of an Earth’s artificial satellite and the final elliptical orbit is proposed. A parametric analysis of the obtained solutions is performed, a simple pulse choice scheme close in functionality to the optimal one is proposed. Questions about the optimal number and location of pulses and the optimal mass of the first stage are investigated. An assessment of the additional mass consumption associated with the stage jettisons into the atmosphere comparing with the simple separation of the stages is performed. It was found that in the case of optimal fuel distribution among the tanks such mass consumption is small when a final ascent pulse is 1.5 km/s.

Experimental Study of The Summation of Flicker Caused by Wind Turbines
Authors: Redondo Koldo , Gutiérrez José Julio , Azcarate Izaskun , Saiz Purificación , Leturiondo Luis Alberto , Ruiz de Gauna Sofía
Published: May 2019

Integration of wind energy into the grid faces a great challenge regarding power quality. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)~61400-21 standard defines the electrical characteristics that need to be assessed in a Wind Turbine (WT), as well as the procedure to measure the disturbances produced by the WT. One of the parameters to be assessed are voltage fluctuations or flicker. To estimate the flicker emission of a Wind Power Plant (WPP), the standard establishes that a quadratic exponent should be used in the summation of the flicker emission of each WT. This exponent was selected based on studies carried out in WPPs with type I and II WTs. Advances in wind turbines technology have reduced their flicker emission, mainly thaks to the implementation of power electronics for the partial or total management of the power injected into the grid. This work is based on measurements from a WPP with 16 type III WTs. The flicker emission of a single WT and of the WPP were calculated. Low flicker emission values at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) of the WPP were obtained. The flicker estimation at the PCC, based on the measurement from a single WT, was analyzed using different exponents. The results show that a cubic summation performs better than the quadratic one in the estimation of the flicker emission of a WPP with type III WTs.
Pixel Tracking for Micro-Motion Estimation of Maritime Targets by COSMO-SkyMed Synthetic Aperture Radar Data - An Operative Assessment
Authors: Biondi Filippo
Published: May 2019

This research aims to estimate the micro-motion (m-m) of ships. The problem of motion and m-m detection of targets is usually solved using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) along-track interferometry (ATI) which is observed employing two radars spatially distanced by a baseline extended in the azimuth direction. This paper is proposing a new approach where the m-m estimation of ships, occupying thousands of pixels, is measured processing the information given by sub-pixel tracking generated during the coregistration process of several re-synthesized time-domain and overlapped sub-apertures. The SAR products are generated splitting the raw data, according to a small-temporal baseline strategy, observed by one single wide-band staring spotlight (ST) SAR image. The predominant vibrational modes of different ships are estimated and results are promising to extend this application in performing surveillance also of land-based industries activities. Experiments are performed processing one ST SAR image observed by the COSMO-SkyMed satellite system.
A Study on Novel Extensions for the $p$-adic Gamma and $p$-adic Beta Functions
Authors: Duran Ugur , Acikgoz Mehmet
Published: May 2019

In this paper, we introduce the (ρ,q)-analogue of the p-adic factorial function. By utilizing some properties of (ρ,q)-numbers, we obtain several new and interesting identities and formulas. We then construct the p-adic (ρ,q)-gamma function by means of the mentioned factorial function. We investigate several properties and relationships belonging to the foregoing gamma function, some of which are given for the case p = 2. We also derive more representations of the p-adic (ρ,q)-gamma function in general case. Moreover, we consider the p-adic (ρ,q)-Euler constant derived from the derivation of p-adic (ρ,q)-gamma function at x = 1. Furthermore, we provide a limit representation of aforementioned Euler constant based on (ρ,q)-numbers. Finally, we consider (ρ,q)-extension of the p-adic beta function via the p-adic (ρ,q)-gamma function and we then investigate various formulas and identities.

Published: May 2019

Tri-C is a Chromosome Conformation Capture \(3C) approach, which can very efficiently identify multi-way chromatin interactions at individual alleles with selected viewpoints of interest at high resolution. Tri-C allows for multiplexing both viewpoints and samples. As identification of multi-way interactions relies on Illumina sequencing, data can be generated at great depth and PCR duplicates \(based on identical sonication ends) can accurately be removed, allowing for high-throughput, quantitative analysis of multi-way chromatin interactions.
In vitro assessment of the antibacterial effect of watery date extracts (Mozafati, Zahedi and Piaroum) on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli
Authors: Seifzadeh Mina , Rabbani Mohammed , Shafiei Rasoul
Published: May 2019

The present research aimed at investigating the antibacterial effects of date extracts (Mozafati, Zahedi and Piaroum) on the stationary and exponential growth phases of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli O157: H7 in vitro. The methods used in this study included flow cytometry and culture. Carboxyl fluorescein diacetate was utilized to determine the effects of extracts and estimate bacterial survivability. Under the impacts of Mozafati, Zahedi and Piaroum extracts, the bacterial elimination percentages recorded in the log phase of S. aureus were 30.90, 86.35 and 97.18% respectively. However, the effect of exposure of E. coli to date extracts in log phase resulted in the destruction of 8.76, 24.69 and 38.97% of these bacteria respectively. The effect of the extracts on the log phase of S. aureus showed a significant increase compared to that of E.coli (p<0.05). The extracts had the maximum impacts on the stationary phase of both S. aureus and E. coli within 3h exposure time. Mozafati and Piaroum extracts yielded the highest bacterial elimination effect within 3h while Zahedi extract had the maximum effect at zero time on stationary phase of E.coli. The effect of these extracts on the stationary and logarithmic phases of growth of S. aureus and E. coli is bacteriostatic. The result of flow cytometry showed an increase as compared with that of culture. The antibacterial effect of Zahedi extract on S. aureus and E. coli proved to be meaningfully higher than those of other extracts. In order to destroy the examined bacteria in both stationary and logarithmic phase, the use of Zahedi, Piaroum and Mozafati extracts is recommended respectively.

Quo Vadis: Caminhos e Diálogos da Gestão Social com as Obras de Jürgen Habermas
Authors: Alcântara Valderí De Castro , Pereira José Roberto , Prado José Willer do , Silva Érica Aline Ferreira
Published: May 2019

Neste artigo investigamos como autores do campo da Gestão Social fazem referência às obras de Jürgen Habermas e seu arcabouço conceitual. Argumentamos a partir de 54 artigos mapeados que apesar da influência de Habermas na concepção do conceito de gestão social para diversos autores do campo, seu amplo arcabouço teórico ainda é pouco abordado. Poucas obras suas são exploradas e uma gama de textos faz referência a ele por meio de leituras realizadas por outros autores e com indícios de diferentes e divergentes interpretações de seus textos. Além disso, encontramos citações sem uma consideração contextual de suas obras; carência de considerações sobre as transformações do ‘pensamento habermasiano’; esquecimento do diagnóstico da colonização do mundo da vida pelo sistema; carência de referências à autores que realizam diálogos críticos e de debates sobre sua aplicação à sociedade brasileira. Concluímos indicando que os textos de Habermas podem contribuir (considerando as limitações e avançando nelas) com o desenvolvimento e consolidação do campo de estudo e prática da Gestão Social, caso sejam explorados para além de Mudança Estrutural da Esfera Pública e capítulos de Teoria do Agir Comunicativo.

Published: May 2019

Background: Obesity among professional drivers is a considerable issue. The study focuses on the dietary intake pattern of the professional drivers in order to assess their general and central obesity. Methodology| A cross-sectional study of 197 professional drivers was carried out for public transport and loader vehicles. Convenient sampling technique was adopted for data collection. Dietary pattern of the drivers and its association with their body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC) were focused. Along with descriptive statistics and percentages, chi-square test and two-sample t-test were used to analyze the data. Results| The mean BMI of the participants was 25.48 (+4.21) Kg/m2 and WC was 93.48 (+ 11.01) cm, respectively. There is significant association between dietary pattern and obesity among the professional drivers (χ2 = 7.90, p-value< 0.05 for general obesity and χ2 = 8.13, p-value < 0.01 for central obesity). Majority of the drivers regularly eat three times a day and they eat mostly outside their home indicating one of the major factor of obesity (both general and central). Conclusion| The study with professional drivers reveals that dietary intake behaviour is associated with obesity and the professional drivers should be careful about their dietary pattern especially while taking meals outside their homes.

Objectives| To evaluate the accuracy of Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) and Papanicolaou (Pap) smear as screening tests for cervical carcinoma and compare it with cervical biopsy as a gold standard. Methods| This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Gynae Unit 3 Services Institute of Medical Sciences from Jan 2016 to December 2016. All the married patients between 18 to 64 years of age were included in the study. Every patient underwent VIA, Pap smear and colposcopic directed biopsy from aceto white area as well as from 2:00 clock and 5:00 clock position. We determined the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of VIA, Pap smear and both tests and compared them with histopathology of biopsy specimen. Results| 476 women were screened in the study. Out of these, 110 (23.10%) patients were VIA positive and 40 (8.40%) patients were positive with Pap smear. Thirty seven (7.77%) patients were positive on both VIA and Pap smear. A total of 43 (9.03%) patients had cervical pre-malignancy on biopsy. The sensitivity of VIA and pap was 97.67%, 94.87% while specificity was 84.29% and 99.31%respectively (p=0.001). The PPV of VIA and pap was 38.18% and 92.5 %( p=0.00) while NPV was 99.7% and 99.5% respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of both tests combined was 94.59% and 99.54% while the PPV and NPV was 94.59% and 99.54% respectively. Diagnostic accuracy of VIA was 85.5%. Conclusion| VIA has high sensitivity and NPV which makes it an effective screening test for cervical carcinoma in developing countries like Pakistan. Pap smear can be combined to VIA positive cases to improve its specificity.

Objective| To compare the effectiveness and safety profile of intrauterine balloon tamponade with uterovaginal roll gauze packing among patient of primary postpartum hemorrhage after normal vaginal delivery. Duration of Study| This study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, of a Tertiary Care Hospital, Lahore from December 2015 to November 2016. Patients and Methods| In this Randomized controlled trial,212 patients of age range 20 to 40 years who presented with postpartum hemorrhage after a normal vaginal delivery (NVD) those who did not responded to medical treatment were included. Cases of PPH due to perineal, cervical or vaginal tear, episiotomy, retained placenta, coagulation disorder, secondary PPH and PPH with normal vaginal delivery after previous cesarean section were excluded from this study. Subjects were randomly assigned to either intrauterine balloon tamponade or uterovaginal roll gauze packing. Intrauterine packing (IP) was removed after 24 hours and balloon tamponade after 24 hours of insertion. Antibiotic coverage was also given to prevent intrauterine infection. All females were kept under observation in ward. Effectiveness was labeled if bleeding was stopped within 15 minutes after uterovaginal packing or balloon tamponade (BT) and patient remain hemodynamically stable and if no complications occur after applying or removing balloon tamponade or intrauterine packing safety was labeled. Data was analyzed by SPSS version 20.2.Frequencies and percentage of complications were calculated along with rate of successful cessation of bleeding were calculated. Result| Mean age group of woman in whom balloon tamponade and intrauterine packing was used was 29.22+6.52 and 29.05+ 6.802 years. Mean gestational age of woman in BT and IP group and was 39.95+1.304 and 38.98+ 1.428 years. Mean blood loss in woman in BT and IP group was 600.28+ 25.338 and 669.21+70.176 ml. Efficacy of group BT was 78(73.6%) and in IP was 63(59.4%).Safety of BT group was 97(91.51%) and IP group was 55(51.88%). Treatment of balloon tamponade was more effective and safe than intrauterine packing in female presented with PPH after normal vaginal delivery (p < .05). Conclusion| This study concluded that balloon tamponade is an effective and safe method than intrauterine packing for the management of PPH after normal vaginal delivery.
A multi-objective water trading optimization model for Henan Province's water-receiving area in the Middle Route of China's South-to-North Water Diversion Project
Authors: Dou M. , Zhang J. , Li G. , Zhao P.
Published: May 2019

Water trading is an effective method for solving regional water shortage problems and addressing the uneven spatiotemporal distribution of water resources. Therefore, taking the Middle Route of China's South-to-North Water Diversion Project (MR-SNWDP) as the research object, we present a study on a feasible water trading scheme in the water-receiving area of Henan Province. First, the tradable water of each calculation unit in the water-receiving area was calculated by analyzing the water-saving potential of different industries. Second, a multi-objective optimization model for trading water between different regions was developed, taking the largest social and economic benefits of the water-receiving area as the objective function. Finally, non-dominated sorting genetic algorithms were used to solve this optimization model, and an optimal scheme for water trading was proposed. The simulated results of the optimal scheme indicate that the total water shortage of the water-receiving areas will decrease by 650.69 million m3, and there will be a surplus of 14.98 million m3 of water, and the gross national product will increase by RMB 130.5 billion at a rate of 5.2%. This demonstrates that the water-receiving areas of Henan Province can effectively alleviate local water shortages by trading water without increasing external water supplies.
Polymorphisms in miRNAs Gene (146a, 149, 196a) and Susceptibility to ARV-associated Hepatotoxicity
Authors: Singh Hari Om , Jadhav Sushma , Samani Dharmesh , Dhole Tapan N.
Published: May 2019

Background:

Micro RNAs act as a regulatory layer for pharmacogenomics-related gene
expression. It could play a role in the efficacy and toxicity of the drug. The SNPs in miRNA genes are
linked with different functional consequences.

Methods:

Hence, we examined the miR (146a G/C, 149C/T, and 196aC/T) polymorphisms in 34 patients
with hepatotoxicity, 123 patients without hepatotoxicity, and 155 healthy controls using a PCRRFLP
method.

Results:

In patients with hepatotoxicity, miR196aCT genotype and combined genotype GCT showed
a risk for hepatotoxicity severity with borderline significance (OR=2.08, P=0.07; OR=2.88, P=0.06).
While comparing between patients with hepatotoxicity and healthy controls, the combined genotypes
CCC and GCT have shown a susceptibility to hepatotoxicity severity (OR=2.89, P=0.05; OR=2.60,
P=0.09). The miR196TT genotype was associated with the individuals of advanced HIV disease stage
(OR=3.68, P=0.04). In HIV patients who consumed alcohol and did not have hepatotoxicity, the miR
196aCT genotype showed susceptibility to acquisition of hepatotoxicity with borderline significance
(OR=2.36, P=0.06).

Discussion:

The miR149TT and 196aTT genotypes showed a risk of acquisition of hepatotoxicity to
nevirapine usage among HIV patients without hepatotoxicity (OR=4.19, P=0.07; OR=1.97, P=0.84). In
HIV patients with and without hepatotoxicity, the miR 196aCT genotype showed a risk of acquisition of
hepatotoxicity and its severity to the combined use of alcohol and nevirapine, respectively (OR=14.18,
P=0.08; OR=2.29, P=0.08). In multivariate logistic regression, taking nevirapine, 196aCT genotype had
an independent risk factor for hepatotoxicity severity (OR=5.98, P=0.005; OR=2.38, P=0.05).

Conclusion:

In conclusion, miR196aC/T polymorphism and combined genotypes GCT and CCC may
facilitate the risk for acquisition of hepatotoxicity and its severity.
