The Role of Granzyme B Activity and Concentration, and Serpin B9 Concentration with Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B Virus
Authors: Alshamary Hussein S. , Mayah Qasim S. Al- , Abdul-Ridha Fadhil Abdulla
Published: May 2022

Backgrounds: Granzyme B (GzmB) is the main effective weapon of adaptive immune response that involved in killing of the infective as well as cancerous cells. Serum concentration and/or activity of GzmB may influence the course of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Aims of the study: To investigate the role of serum level of GzmB and its activity as well as the effect of serpin B9 inhibitor on serum level of GzmB in patients with HCC. Patients and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study which included 85 patients with CHB. Those patients were divided into two groups: Group 1: includes 45 patients diagnosed with HCC, group 2: includes 40 Patients without HCC. Demographic data of the patients were collected from direct interview. Liver function test were measured spectrophotometrically. Granzyme B activity was estimated using spectrophotometry. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure Granzyme B concentration, serum level of and serpin B9. Results: Patients without HCC had significantly higher activity (median: 58 pmol, range: 34.0-130.0 pmol) and concentration (median; 31 pg/ml, range: 0.0-383.0 pg/ml) than those without HCC (median activity: 26, range: 7.0-63.0, median concentration: 18.7 pg/ml, range: 0.0-52.0 pg/ml) with highly significant differences. Conclusions: Granzyme B activity and concentration are significantly reduced in CHB patients with HCC compared with those without HCC. Thus, the reduction in GzmB activity cannot be attributed to increase Serpin B9, rather the GzmB polymorphism may be the main effector. Keywords: Chronic hepatitis B, Hepatocellular carcinoma, Granzyme B activity and concentration, Serpin B9

Published: May 2022

Background: FNAC is effective for the identification of benign and malignant thyroid lesions prior to surgery or therapy, which helps to limit the number of needless treatments. Thyroid swelling FNAC is a straightforward, quick, patient-friendly, and low-cost technique that may be repeated if samples are insufficient. It has the highest predictive value of any diagnostic method presently available. Objective: To confirm if the fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and histopathology have any correlation in the diagnosis of thyroid lesions. Place and duration of research: The present study comprised 100 patients in the ENT department, Khyber teaching hospital from January 2019 to December 2020. Materials and Methods: Multiple neck swellings were presented to the ENT department in Khyber teaching hospital where they were clinically assessed after a thorough history was gathered. FNAC was administered to just those thyroid-swelling patients who were hospitalized to an indoor facility and ultimately had surgery, according to the findings of this study. Every patient had a preoperative FNAC as well as a postoperative histopathology report of thyroid lesions. Before each of the 100 surgeries, informed consent was obtained. Results: The histopathological diagnosis of thyroid lesions was associated with the FNAC diagnostic. There were 26 men and 78 women among the 104 patients. The male-to-female ratio was 1:3. The majority of the 104 patients were between the ages of 31 and 40. There were 9 false Cyto-diagnosis cases out of 104 FNAC patients. The overall accuracy rate was 91.35%. Conclusion: As a preoperative examination of thyroid gland swelling before surgery, FNAC is a reliable, safe, and somewhat accurate approach. FNAC is a reliable diagnostic test for evaluating thyroid swelling since it is more accurate in diagnosing thyroid gland cancer. Keywords: FNAC, histopathology, thyroid swelling

Background: Methotrexate was first used in 1947 as a chemotherapeutic drug in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methotrexate has been extensively explored as an anticancer drug since that time. High dose methotrexate is a term used for doses above 1000mg/m2. Objective: To determine efficacy of Furosemide in methotrexate clearance in patients treated with high dose methotrexate Methodology: The current study was prospective cohort study carried out at the Oncology department of tertiary care hospitals of Peshawar for a period of one year from January 2020 to January 2021. A total of 80 patients were enrolled in the study. All patients received daily hydration of at least 5 liters along with urine alkalization with sodium bicarbonate and on calcium rescue as per protocol. All patients were given Furosemide 40 mg three times a day. Methotrexate levels were monitored every 24 hours to follow its clearance. All the Data analysis was done by using IBM SPSS version 24. Results: The mean (SD) hospital stay in the current study was 4 (±1) days. Frequency of delayed methotrexate clearance was observed in 16 (20%) patients. The mean (SD) time of methotrexate clearance was 4 (±1) days. Renal injury was observed in 8 (10%) subjects, electrolyte imbalance in 12 (15%) subjects, transaminitis in 11 (13.75%) subjects while mucositis was observed in 8 (10%) subjects. Conclusion: Our study concludes that furosemide is highly effective in methotrexate clearance in patients treated with high dose methotrexate. The use of furosemide reduces the cost and hospital stay. As furosemide is cheaper and easily available so it can be used easily in the methotrexate clearance.

Housing Wealth, Fertility, and Child Quality
Authors:   School of Economics, Shandong University, Tang Mingzhe , Coulson N. Edward ,   Paul Merage School of Business, University of California, Irvine
Published: May 2022

We use changes in wealth due to house price changes to test the effect of wealth on fertility and child quality in the context of Chinese fertility policies. We find, even in those situations where the one-child policy is not in effect, that wealth increases do not lead to increased fertility in urban areas, and have only a minuscule effect in the rural areas. However, a rise in housing wealth leads to increased expenditure on the education of children for households in both rural and urban areas (although different types of expenditure) and increased height of children in rural areas. Following Becker (1960), increased wealth shifts the tradeoff between child quality and quantity in favor of the former.

Published: May 2022

Introduction: Occult breast cancer (OBC) is a clinically recognizable metastatic carcinoma from an undetectable primary breast tumor. It is rare and accounts for 0.3–1% of all breast cancers, often presenting with lymph node, bone, or skin metastases. It poses a diagnostic challenge for general surgeons, radiologists, and pathologists. Case Report: We present the case of occult breast cancer in a 62-year-old, post-menopausal, female, Nigerian, presenting with a solitary, painless, right axillary lymph node enlargement without a clinical or radiological evidence of a breast mass; and also review the literature. The diagnosis of metastatic breast carcinoma was made and confirmed on histology and immunohistochemistry analysis of the axillary lymph node. Histological examination of the subsequent right breast mastectomy specimen revealed the presence of infiltrating ductal carcinoma even though no definite mass lesion was seen on gross examination. Conclusion: Occult breast cancer can be a diagnostic challenge and should be excluded in any patient presenting with solitary axillary lymphadenopathy. Immunohistochemistry staining patterns can be a mainstay in resolving the differential diagnoses.

Çalışmaya bütüncül bir yaklaşımla kent sosyolojisi penceresinden bakıldığında yaratıcı çağda başarılı olmak için yaratıcı bölgelerin/kentlerin insanlarına yatırım yapılması gerektiği vurgulanmaktadır. Kent çalışmaları alanının önemli eserlerinden olan bu kitaptan çıkartılması gereken çok değerli sosyolojik sonuçlar da vardır. Örneğin; yaratıcı toplumun ülkelerin tamamında değil belirli kent ve bölgelerde yerleştiği, günümüzde bilim adamlarından mühendislere kadar pek çok yaratıcı meslek mensubunun ABD’de yaşadığı ancak ABD’nin öncü rolünü kaybetmemek için insanlara (yaratıcı sınıfa) daha fazla yatırım yapması gerektiği anlaşılmaktadır. Kitabının gözler önüne serdiği bu durumlar, başlı başına bir kentin yaratıcı sınıfı nasıl göç etmeden ellerinde tutmaları gerektiğini anlatmaktadır. Bu aynı zamanda eserin neden okunması gerektiği sorusunun da cevabıdır. Florida’nın çalışması literatüre daha önce hiç kullanılmamış ya da kullanılıp önemi yeterince idrak edilememiş ve hareket halinde olan bir yaratıcı sınıf olgusu kazandırmıştır. Tüm bu sosyolojik incelemelerin yanı sıra yazarın ülkesinde gördüğü ve uzmanlık alanına giren önemli bir problemi önce analiz edip sonra çözüm yolları ortaya koyması kent sosyolojisi alanında ortaya çıkması muhtemel problemlere karşı gösterilecek tutum noktasında okuyucuya katkı sunacaktır.

E. P. THOMPSON, el papel de las clases populares en las transformaciones histórico-económicas del capitalismo
Authors: Flores Nava Fabiola Jesavel
Published: May 2022

Este artículo pone de relieve la importancia que tienen los diferentes conceptos teórico-históricos creados por E. P. Thompson para entender la relación dialéctica que existen entre la idea de experiencia –vista como proceso de formación histórica o como espacio desde donde se le da sentido al mundo-, el plano concreto sobre el que se asienta la modernidad capitalista, y las transformaciones generadas por la praxis de clases populares en la interacción de estas dos dimensiones de la realidad. Al mismo tiempo, se tiene especial interés en uno de los conceptos más radicales en la obra de dicho autor, es decir, el concepto de Economía Moral de la Multitud, con el cual podemos comprender la complejidad histórica sobre la que se constituyen los movimientos sociales anticapitalistas. Finalmente queremos insistir en el énfasis que el propio Thompson pone en la definición de clase, en donde destaca la necesidad de pensarla, más que como un hecho dado, como un proceso activo y en constante relación histórica.

Нагласи на студенти за произхода на вируса, причиняващ COVID-19, и ваксинирането срещу него
Authors:   Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy, Stoyanov Valeri
Published: May 2022

An integrated approach, using quantitative and qualitative research methodology, with a sample of 150 students, reveals the attitude of students to the nature and origin of the virus causing COVID-19, as well as vaccines, scientific evidence and prospects for their use. The results show, despite the expectations that students would have more trust in scientific information about vaccines and a higher percentage of vaccinated, that they do not differ from the general population in our country. More than half believe in conspiracy theories about the artificial origin and spread of the virus that causes COVID-19, and do not trust the scientific evidence on the safety of vaccines. The vaccinated one third of the sample have statistically significantly more confidence in scientific evidence than unvaccinated. Vaccinated students live in households where the majority are vaccinated, while unvaccinated students live in households where the majority are not vaccinated. The motives for vaccination for those who have done so and those around one tenth who intend to be vaccinated are less related to medical logic. For most of the vaccinated, the motives are related to the way of life - frequent travel abroad, being able to work to survive, not having to pay for different tests every day. The role of higher education institutions in improving students' awareness of the medical logic of pandemic control and making young people leaders in this process is discussed.

Uma das maiores contribuições na mitigação das mudanças climáticas é o sequestro de carbono provido pelas florestas. Devido a redução das áreas florestais, torna-se necessário a restituição ecológica por meio da recuperação florestal. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar o crescimento em altura e diâmetro e o acúmulo de carbono na biomassa de plantas de jatobá (Hymenaea courbaril L.) introduzidas em área de recuperação florestal. A área experimental contém 4 ha e está localizada no município de Canaã dos Carajás, PA. As espécies nativas foram inseridas em 2018, dentre elas, 315 mudas de jatobá.

Image-to-image translation aims at learning a mapping between two different picture styles. The style and texture of one image can be transferred to another. It is possible to do paired and unpaired image-to-image translations, both of which have a specified goal translation to aim for translating images. Using generative adversarial networks, we offer an overview of different generator designs for unpaired image-to-image translation and paired image-to-image translation. The Residual blocks or U-net architecture are often employed in generators of generative adversarial networks for image-to-image translation. In this research paper, we propose the use of an Inception module and their evaluation in unpaired image-to-image translation tasks by translating photos to artist images and also with unpaired data for converting Maps to aerial images.

Authors: Reddy Duggi Vamshidhar , Rao Ambati Sambashiva
Published: May 2022

The current study was aimed to develop a controlled release formulation of tramadol utilizing the cyclodextrin based nanosponges. Box-Behnken design was employed to study the effect of each independent variable on dependent variables. Five types of nanosponges from β-cyclodextrin (NS1-NS5) were purposely designed. The prepared nanosponges by freeze drying method were characterized and formulated into tablets and evaluated for in-vitro and in-vivo studies. The particle sizes of tramadol-nanosponges are in between 34.38 to 134.26 nm, encapsulation efficiency of 41.13-86.72% and drug release% at 6h of 52.34-81.12%. More than 90 % of drug was found to be released from nanosponge formulations. The FTIR, DSC and XRPD studies confirmed the interaction of Tramadol with nanosponges. The nanosponges Cmax of 915.24±1.67 ng/ml was significantly higher (p<0.05) than the marketed product's Cmax of 411.5±1.25 ng/ml. Both the nanosponges formulation and the commercial product had Tmax values of 1.5±0.06 and 2.0±0.05 hours, respectively. When compared to the marketed product (342.6±0.65 ng h/ml), the AUC0-t of the nanosponges formulation (643.2±0.56 ng h/ml) was substantially greater (p<0.05) indicating better systemic drug absorption from nanosponges formulation. Cyclodextrin based nanosponges showed enhanced solubility with increased bioavailability of poorly soluble Tramadol for controlled drug delivery.

General Child marriage situation pre-covid, why increased during covid, causes, reflection from selected communities. Many socio-economic evils deprives numerous children from their right to healthy and safe nurturing environment. One such evil is the child marriage practised from age old days and yet not eradicated. UNICEF defines child marriage or early marriage as the union of a girl or boy under the age of 18 years which encompasses both official weddings and informal cohabitations in which children under the age of 18 live as if they were married. According to UNICEF, 110 million child marriages occurred from 2011 to 2021 worldwide and 25 million were averted during the same time frame (UNICEF, 2021b). In spite of being a pioneer in the battle against child marriage, India still has 15.6 million women between the ages of 20 and 24 who were married before they turned 18. There are 223 million child brides in India, with 102 million of them marrying before the age of 15. In terms of the prevalence of child marriage, these data rank India fourth in South Asia (UNICEF, 2019).
