The research methodology is based on the general scientific methods of studying social phenomena and processes (namely, analysis, synthesis, typologisation, extrapolation, abstraction, forecasting, generalisation, as well as the methods of systemic, comparative, and structural-functional analyses). The usage of these methods enables outlining the current trends of forming information and communication support of public libraries taking into account modern technological development and user demands. The scientific novelty of the paper consists in expanding the theoretical aspects of public libraries development based on contemporary trends of information and communication support. Conclusions. Information and communication technologies have significantly affected the life of modern society, changing the approaches to the development of public libraries sphere and shaping the existing trends in library services provision. Currently, the development of librarianship presupposes digitilisation of cultural and scientific heritage, the elaboration of electronic catalogues and collections, as well as the transition to remote work in virtual space. It has been established that against the backdrop of society digital transformation, a client-oriented approach is indispensable in setting the goals of information and communication support, taking into account the users’ interests, focused on identifying their needs and providing the relevant library services. Further innovative and technical development of library equipment aimed to increase its relevance in modern society is deemed important. Public libraries should expand information and communication support to provide a wide range of enhanced services to users, mastering new functions that allow providing society with relevant, high-quality information, extensive remote access possibilities, development of media and information literacy, and an individual’s cultural identity formation based on communicative practices.

Authors: Zano Kufakunesu
Published: November 2022

Feedback, further known as assessment in this research, is critical to learners’ growth and learning. This study is grounded in verbal and written peer experiences acquired throughout peer evaluation in a multilingual context. This study aims to determine the problems of Grade 11 EFAL learners with peer assessment and how to develop peer assessment practices in a multilingual setting at the high school level. There were 27 learners in the class. Designated three learners gave three demonstrations on various matters premised on a requisite Grade 11 literature set book and were graded by their classmates. The perspectives of the learners who were assigned to work in groups were elicited by requesting them to respond to open ended questions in writing after their classmates’ presentations. According to the findings, some peer assessments can be subjective depending on the bond between the assessor and the assessed. The learners had a natural feeling of inadequacy in their assessments. When giving feedback in a multilingual setting, it becomes important to give it in a language they are most comfortable with. Similarly, helping students relate new information from peers to the knowledge that they already have helps them to understand and organise information in meaningful ways.

With skin cancer incidence rate steadily increasing each year, melanoma continues to pose a significant public health problem globally. It is well-known that early detection and prevention of melanoma remains the most important intervention for reducing morbidity and mortality, therefore it is imperative to promote innovation that will advance our ability to diagnose melanoma early. Because prognosis and treatment are dependent on the depth of dermal involvement, definitive diagnosis of melanoma can only be made through histopathologic assessment [1]. Thus, appropriate sampling of tissue is critical for the accurate evaluation of melanoma.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent and deadly type of liver cancer. While the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood, it is documented that lncRNAs may play key roles. Many HCC-associated lncRNAs have been linked to HBV and HCV infection, mediating gene expression, cell growth, development, and death. Studying the regulatory mechanisms and biological functions of HCC-related lncRNAs will assist our understanding of HCC pathogenesis as well as its diagnosis and management. Here, we address the potential of dysregulated lncRNAs in HCC as diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers, and we evaluate the oncogenic or tumor-suppressive properties of these lncRNAs.

Introduction

The pathophysiological mechanisms linking the overweight and prothrombotic state of non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) are incompletely understood. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of platelet CD36 on the risk of stroke associated with overweight in NVAF patients.

Methods

A cross-sectional study enrolled 182 subjects with NVAF in two groups: normal weight (18.5 < body mass index(BMI) < 25.0 kg/m2) and overweight (BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m2). Clinical data, medical history, vital signs, transthoracic echocardiography parameters, and medication were recorded. Biochemical characteristics including blood glucose and serum lipid were analyzed in the Laboratory.

Results

The expression of platelet CD36 and integrin αIIbβ3 was detected by flow cytometry. Among the 182 patients with NVAF, 68 (37.36%) were classified as normal weight, 114 (62.64%) as overweight. With an increase in BMI, waist-hip ratio, cholesterol, triglycerides, left atrium diameters, and the ratio of mitral inflow E velocity to myocardial e' velocity in the mitral annulus (E/e') increased significantly (P < 0.05). The mean fluorescent intensity of platelet CD36 increased significantly in overweight patients (P < 0.01), in line with platelet activation biomarkers (platelet integrin αIIbβ3). Platelet CD36 was positively correlated with BMI and platelet integrin αIIbβ3, respectively (P < 0.05). Additionally, platelet CD36 and BMI were independent risk factors for platelet activation in patients with NVAF.

Conclusions

Platelet CD36 is speculated to mediate the complex crosstalk between overweight and platelet hyperactivity, leading to the prothrombotic state in overweight patients with NVAF. Platelet CD36 could be a potential target for preventing the prothrombotic state in overweight patients with NVAF.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the potential mechanism by which Monocyte locomotion inhibitory factor (MLIF) improves the outcome of ischemic stroke (IS) inflammatory injury.

Methods

Potential MLIF-related targets were predicted using Swiss TargetPrediction and PharmMapper, while IS-related targets were found from GeneCards, PharmGKB, and Therapeutic Target Database (TTD). After obtaining the intersection from these two datasets, the Search Tool for Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Protein (STRING11.0) database was used to analyze the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of the intersection and candidate genes for MLIF treatment of IS. The candidate genes were imported into the Metascape database for Gene Ontology (GO) functional analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment. The top 20 core genes and the “MLIF-target-pathway” network were mapped using the Cytoscape3.9.1. Using AutoDock Vina1.1.2, the molecular docking validation of the hub targets and MLIF was carried out. In the experimental part, transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) and oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) models were used to evaluate the protective efficacy of MLIF and the expression of inflammatory cytokines and the putative targets.

Results

MLIF was expected to have an effect on 370 targets. When these targets were intersected with 1,289 targets for ischemic stroke, 119 candidate therapeutic targets were found. The key enriched pathways were PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and MAPK signaling pathway, etc. The GO analysis yielded 1,677 GO entries (P < 0.01), such as hormone stimulation, inflammatory response, etc. The top 20 core genes included AKT1, EGFR, IGF1, MAPK1, MAPK10, MAPK14, etc. The result of molecular docking demonstrated that MLIF had the strong binding capability to JNK (MAPK10). The in vitro and in vivo studies also confirmed that MLIF protected against IS by lowering JNK (MAPK10) and AP-1 levels and decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6).

Conclusion

MLIF may exert a cerebral protective effect by inhibiting the inflammatory response through suppressing the JNK/AP-1 signaling pathway.
Left bundle branch area pacing: A promising modality for cardiac resynchronization therapy

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is recognized as the first-line management for patients with heart failure (HF) and conduction disorders. As a conventional mode for delivering CRT, biventricular pacing (BVP) improves cardiac function and reduces HF hospitalizations and mortality, but there are still limitations given the high incidence of a lack of response rates. Alternative pacing methods are needed either for primary or rescue therapy. In recent years, conduction system pacing (CSP) has emerged as a more physiological pacing modality for simultaneous stimulation of the ventricles, including His bundle pacing (HBP) and left bundle branch pacing (LBBP). CSP activates the His-Purkinje system, allowing normal ventricular stimulation. However, HBP is technically challenging with a relatively low success rate, high pacing threshold, and failure to correct distal conduction abnormalities. Therefore, LBBP stands out as a novel ideal physiological pacing modality for CRT. Several non-randomized studies compared the feasibility and safety of LBBP with BVP and concluded that LBBP is superior to BVP for delivering CRT with a narrower QRS and greater improvements in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class. Concurrently, some studies showed lower and stable pacing thresholds and greater improvement of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels, as well as better mechanical synchronization and efficiency. LBBP ensures better ventricular electromechanical resynchronization than BVP. In this review, we discuss current knowledge of LBBP, compare LBBP with BVP, and explore the potential of LBBP to serve as an alternative primary therapy to realize cardiac resynchronization.
