Authors: Mena M. , De la Fuente M. , Morán D. , Espíndola J. M. , Nuñez-Cornú F. , Medina F.
Published: April 2023

Se presentan los mapas gravimétricos de anomalías de Bouguer simple, de aire libre y residual isostático para el Estado de Oaxaca y zonas adyacentes (México). También se presenta un modelo de estructura de corteza para la costa de Oaxaca basado en los datos gravimétricos y en los perfiles sísmicos de refracción realizados durante 1987 en la costa sur del Pacífico Mexicano. Se utilizaron las velocidades sísmicas obtenidas en estos mismos perfiles para el cálculo de las densidades empleadas en la elaboración de los modelos de corteza.Los perfiles gravirnétricos reportados son los siguientes: Puerto Angel-Teotitlán del Camino, Puerto Ángel-Salina Cruz, y Puerto Ángel-Punta Maldonado.De Punta Maldonado a Salina Cruz se obtiene un espesor de corteza continental de 26.5 km en  promedio, con densidades de 2.53 g/cm3 para Jos cuerpos superficiales y de 2.81 g/cm3 para los cuerpos profundos. En seguida se encuentra la corteza oceánica, con una densidad de 2.84 g/cm3 y 4 km de espesor, que se introduce por debajo de la corteza continental con un ángulo de subduc ción de 14.5° aproximadamente. Finalmente, en la base se encuentra el manto superior con una densidad de 3.21 g/cm3. En el modelo propuesto para el perfil Puerto Angel-Teotitlán del Camino encontramos un cuerpo con una densidad de 2.9 g/cm3 que podría corresponder a un cuerpo ígneo intrusivo de composición máfica. De Puerto Angel a Punta Maldonado se observa un horst delimitado por fallas en las partes laterales. En el perfil Puerto Angel-Salina Cruz se observa una depresión que sugiere la existencia de un graben.doi: sin doi

Hydrogel
Authors: . Arushi , Bharti Ruchi
Published: April 2023

Abstract: The hydrogel is a tri-polymer network that may soak up body fluids in a biological setting but is not soluble in water. Water can cause the hydrogel to structurally bulge and it can hold a lot of water. Such a polymer network is produced by operating a merging of physical and chemical crosslinking techniques, besides ionic crosslinking, temperature- and optical polymerization, pH-dependent processes, and enzymatic reactions.[1] Physical hydrogels are generally supported by modest secondary forces, whereas covalent forces drive chemical hydrogels. Hydrogel is usually built from an assortment of polymers, both natural and manufactured. The extremely crucial traits of hydrogels are mechanical properties, swelling, and biological characteristics, and every one of them can influence the shape and structure of the hydrogel. Moreover, the structures, classification, advantages, and disadvantages of hydrogel kinds are covered.
Rescuing Food Grains Using Raspberry Pi
Authors: Bhargavi Kalakoti , Kumar Pudari Raj , Bhavani Pilli , Lavanya E.
Published: April 2023

Abstract: Saving the crop that is being dried after harvesting is the main objective of the endeavor. The problem must be resolved because post-harvest loss makes for 10% of the crop’s overall loss. India produces about 150 million tons of food grains per year. However, 15 million tons of those grains are lost during the process of harvest. It’s more than 10%. Farmers need to dry their crops after harvesting them, but they are unaware of sudden rainstorms and animals eating their harvests while they dry. If the farmer’s home is far from the spot where the grains were spread out to dry, when he arrives, the entire harvest has already been ruined by rain or animals. One can protect themselves from sudden downpours and from animals devouring the grains by using a protective shield after detecting the rain and making a buzzer sound to approach the animals. Here, a PIR sensor is utilized to detect animal movement while a rain sensor is used to detect precipitation. The Raspberry Pi receives the sensing signals, analyzes them, and then send the mail to the farmer if rain is detected using PuTTY software, VNC viewer and SMTP libraries.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Jihee , Shin Donghee
Published: April 2023

Objectives The purposes of this study were to analyze status, history and policy, science and social studies curriculum, textbooks of nuclear power in major countries.
Methods In accordance with global nuclear policies, the United States and Japan were selected as countries to expand and maintain nuclear power plants. In the case of a country abolishing it, Korea, Germany, France were chosen. Australia is one of the countries that doesn't have it. We identified the current status of nuclear power through the number of nuclear power plants, generation, historical and policy data in major countries. And this study investigated nuclear power generation after collecting data from science and social studies curriculum and textbooks published by selected countries and discussed the implications.
Results In terms of the curriculum, science subject was more than social studies subject, especially in high school physics and chemistry. Textbooks of the 2009 Revised Curriculum and US textbooks showed high in frequency. In domestic textbooks and foreign science textbooks, contents were many “pros and cons, and controversial situations of nuclear power generation”. In foreign social studies textbooks, contents were many “nuclear accident”.
Conclusions In order to students to properly understand the issue of nuclear power generation, nuclear content and educational methods should be planned systematically from elementary school.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Hye-Jeong
Published: April 2023

Objectives The aim of this study was to examine the effect of subtitle correction activities on learners' reading achievement, analyze learners' attitudes and reactions to learner participation activity, and identify areas to consider when using subtitle correction activities in EFL classes.
Methods This study attempted to propose a subtitle correction activity as a learner participation activity in English reading classes, using movies, and presented a class procedure to which this was applied. This study used the Disney animation, Frozen 2, as a textbook and Movavi Video Suite, a video editing program, to edit the subtitles.
Results This study conducted two reading achievement tests and an open-ended survey for evaluation. The reading achievement tests indicated that the subtitle correction activities affected learners positively, and the open-ended survey showed that learners were generally satisfied with the subtitle correction activities that encouraged participation in learning (75.4%). This high level of satisfaction is attributable to how the subtitle correction activities aroused interest and fun in the class, encouraged direct participation, and helped boost reading comprehension learning and group activities.
Conclusions Instructors need to encourage learners to approach the use of movies in reading classes critically, without passively accepting the meaning of subtitles.

Published: April 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate the visual attention of vocational high school students on the national geopark information boards, and to find the reformation for the descriptive contents and layout of the geopark information boards.
Methods For this, we collected and analyzed data on fixation duration, gaze plot, and transition of fixation while vocational high school students (N=13) read three types of geopark information boards using a eye tracker (Tobii Pro Glass 2 model).
Results The results were as follows. First, high school students tried to understand the geological structure by focusing on texts rather than images while reading the geopark information boards. Second, high school students' eyes generally scanned from left to right, top to bottom on the geopark information boards but their visual attention were influenced by the importance of the object. Third, high school students actively transfered their visual attention to the image area, focusing on the text area explaining the geological structure on the geopark information boards.
Conclusions Therefore, according to the visual attention of high school students, the text area should be placed in the middle of the information boards, the area that actively transfered to the text area should be disposed close to the text area. And the learning contents should be arranged in the order that matches the gaze plot on the geopark information boards. The results of this study can substantially help to produce a geopark information boards in the future and improve the environment of earth science education in the national geopark.
Autoethnography on the Experience of Teaching Chinese International Students in the College of Music PhD Program
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Choi Sun-Joo
Published: April 2023

Objectives In this study, we examine what kind of environment the graduate professors who directly affect the research capabilities and performance of graduate students are in, what they experience, and how they cope with problem situations as a surge of Chinese international students enters the university scene.
Methods In order to achieve this objective, I used my own experience as a researcher and university vocal music educator to write this autoethnography, using data from memory, research journals, and documentation.
Results There were four significant results found. First, the biggest difficulty I felt while teaching Chinese PhD students was that there were significant differences in their levels, both between themselves and between non-foreign students. To solve this problem, I modified various standards that I expected from PhD students and considered many additional details in the preparation and management of the class. Second, I had ambivalent feelings about helping the students with their lives outside of the classroom. There were positive aspects, but also hardships and dilemmas that would not be present in a typical academic setting. Third, the Chinese PhD students actively studied based on their excellent practical skills, but reported difficulties with the thesis. I put more effort into giving them practical help to solve this issue. Fourth, my relationships with them were satisfying and rewarding. But when they graduated, I was disappointed that my relationships with them were severed and I could not continue to communicate with them.
Conclusions Based on these results, I suggest follow-up studies by university educators on the experience of teaching Chinese PhD students, additional studies on how to approach theses with foreign international students, and policy research on the problems and experiences that the university educators faced.

Objectives This study examines the process by which the recognition of children's right to play, which explains the practical competency of play-centered education of Chinese Anji kindergarten teachers in a meaningful way, is formed and how it is implemented in the field of play-center education.
Methods To this end, for about three weeks from March 14, 2022, to April 2, 2022, a study was conducted in Anji County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, China, focusing on participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and literature data analysis. A case study was conducted at K Kindergarten.
Results The meaning of play-center education practice for teachers at Anji K Kindergarten was defined as an ‘a teacher who constantly strives to support real play’, ‘belief in children, the core of play-center education’, ‘a compass for expanding children's exploration activities and play’, ‘going together for a long time’ was divided into 4 categories, and each of them was further divided into subcategories and presented as nomads. Specifically, first, teachers did not recognize children's right to play from the beginning and had a high competency in practicing play-centered education at K kindergarten. Second, K kindergarten teachers believe that the main character of the classroom is an infant, which is much better than the teacher thinks. They keep themselves safe in the midst of adventure and challenge and believe that all children have their own inherent speed in them. Third, teachers of K kindergarten are developing the children’ power to observe, record and through large group sharing. Fourth, one nursery school (保育员) who is in charge of cleaning and preparing meals for each class of K Kindergarten. As a kindergarten leader, constantly requested financial support necessary for education from the government and overcame difficulties to reach the current play-centered education system.
Conclusions First, it was confirmed that the high level of play-center education practice competency of Chinese Anji kindergarten teachers was not achieved in a short period of time, but through many years of effort. Second, it was confirmed that Anji kindergarten teachers in China fully believed in children. Third, it was confirmed that Anji kindergarten teachers had enough opportunities to expand children's play and reflect on their experiences daily.

Published: April 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze major issues and discourses related to early childhood sex education in our society by extracting and analyzing key keywords related to early childhood education from big data that can be collected in online space.
Methods Using the Textom platform, texts related to ‘childhood sex education’ from July 2017 to June 2022 were mined and refined in the first and second stages. By analyzing the frequency of refined keywords, the basic properties of the network and the centrality of each keyword were analyzed using the top 50 keywords. Afterwards, Ucinet 6 was used to examine the types within the network.
Results As a result of frequency analysis, ‘storybook’, ‘child’, ‘sex’, ‘education’, ‘book’, ‘parent’, ‘number’, ‘start’, ‘mom’, and ‘kindergarten’ were the highest in order. As a result of testing the significance of the network data between the top 50 keywords, a statistically significant relationship was found between the network data, there was a statistically significant relationship between network data, and the analysis of centrality showed that the top 26 keywords had similar values in closeness and betweenness centrality, so each keyword was closely connected to each other. As a result of the type analysis within the network, ‘early childhood sex education through the media’, ‘family demand for early childhood sex education’, ‘educational awareness of early childhood sex education’, and ‘early childhood sex education through lecture’ appeared.
Conclusions Through the results of this study, we discussed the development plan by understanding the perception and social context of early childhood sexual education in Korea for the last 5 years. This study is meaningful as basic data for developing various sex education programs based on social understanding of early childhood sex education.
Accidental subdural block after epidural anesthesia in obstetric patient: Case report
Authors: Kesapragada Rajasekhar , Abdelmegeed Naema Ahmed , ALakkad Ashraf
Published: April 2023

Background: Although often overlooked, subdural anesthesia is a relatively common complication. It can present with a wide range of symptoms, from unexpectedly high sensory and limited motor blocks to significant hemodynamic and respiratory effects.

Case Presentation: This case report documents the labor and delivery of a 26-year-old primigravida at 40 weeks gestation who requested an epidural at 4 cm. A 500 ml lactated Ringer's solution bolus was initiated prior to the procedure and a Tuohy needle, size 18-gauge, was utilized to locate the epidural space. Following a negative aspiration and falling meniscus test, a bolus of 8 ml containing a combination of 0.2% ropivacaine with 2 mcg/ml fentanyl was administered, resulting in a brief drop in blood pressure, which responded to ephedrine. An epidural infusion of 0.2% ropivacaine with 2 mcg/ml fentanyl was then started and continued until the decision was made to perform a caesarean section due to lack of progress. Prior to surgery, the epidural was supplemented with 15 ml of 0.75% ropivacaine and 50 mcg of fentanyl. Following the successful delivery of a healthy baby, the patient reported difficulty breathing, and her oxygen saturation dropped to 90%. She was intubated without medication and later extubated after the completion of surgery. The epidural provided pain relief for six hours postoperatively and the patient recovered fully without any neurological deficits.

Conclusion: The case report describes an epidural anesthesia that resulted in respiratory depression and unconsciousness without sympatholysis. The local anesthetic diffused into the dura- arachnoid interface, or the subdural space, which facilitated the movement of the anesthetic cephalad. However, the patient experienced complete neurological recovery. This case demonstrates the importance of careful monitoring and prompt intervention in the event of complications during epidural anesthesia.

Keywords: subdural anesthesia, primigravida, ropivacaine, unconsciousness.
Weights of indirect measurements in inverse photogrammetry tasks
Authors: Voronin E.G.
Published: April 2023

This is the fourth article in the series of publications on ways of improving the statistical quality of solving inverse photogrammetry tasks. It deals with researching the impact of indirect measurement weights on the equalization’s statistical quality. The author established that following its criteria is the key to the most plausible distribution of errors on the effects of indirect measurements. Since the accuracy of the equalization is estimated by the remainder residuals of the indirect measurements groups, the reliability of these evaluations depends on how strictly the criteria for the statistical quality of the equalization are met. The standard of indicators’ accuracy reliability is obtained. An algorithm for adjusting their weights during equalization was developed. An experimental approbation of the technique was performed. Based on the results of the calculations, the effectiveness of the joint application of all ways developed in this and previous articles is established to improve the statistical quality and obtain a reliable estimate of the equalization computations accuracy. In addition, it turned out that the application of the developed algorithms enables increasing the numerical stability of the mentioned calculations and ensure the stability of the results. The expediency of clarifying the initial values of direct measurements of the equalized parameters is confirmed. The explanation of the obtained results in terms of covariance analysis is given.

Urbanism and Urban Planning: A Symbiosis of Knowledge and Practice in the Service of Human
Authors: Kotov A. I. , Likhtin A. A.
Published: April 2023

Throughout the long history of urban construction, citizens have been united by a common aspiration — to live in a beautiful city and a comfortable urban environment. Many generations of urban planners have sought to answer this question, but it has not been possible to answer it definitively even today. This is confirmed by the acute controversy being conducted in society today by participants in the urban planning process, including architects, urbanists, economists, urban planners, stakeholders, urban defenders, officials and ordinary citizens. At the same time, urbanism is often the subject of controversy — a concept that has an interdisciplinary nature and expresses an attitude to issues related to urban planning. Taking into account the exceptional importance of urban planning in ensuring the quality of life of the population, the article discusses issues related to clarifying the concepts of “urbanism” and “urban planning”, and also substantiates the need to create an educational program on this topic.
The Role of the EAEU and the SCO in the Eurasia Environmental Safety Space Formation
Authors: Efremova M. S.
Published: April 2023

Recently, most of the existing environmental problems have not only not been solved but have also worsened. There is a growing understanding in the public consciousness that the tools that have been used so far in solving these problems do not cope with the tasks formulated, among other things, in the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Accordingly, the interest in analyzing existing environmental problems and finding ways to solve them is taking an increasing place in the process of defining and implementing the policies of most states and their interaction with activists of environmental social movements.

Aim. Development of new ideas and directions for improving environmental policy, including within the framework of increasing the intensity of integration processes in the Eurasian space covering the EAC and SCO countries.

Tasks. In the article are analyzed the experience of EAC and SCO countries in the process of ecological safe space creation.

Methods. In the article were used elements of comparative and systematic approaches and general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, deduction, and induction.

Results. The study revealed the need to consider new trends in the environmental policy of the Russian Federation also under development of integration processes within the Eurasian space from the perspective of political ecology.

Conclusion. Based on the analysis, the following main environmental problems that exist in the Russian Federation were identified: waste management issues, water pollution, destruction of forests, skepticism about “alternative” and “green” energy. However, environmental problems, as a rule, affect more than one country, so they need to be solved through integration with other states. Now the development of a “green” economy is a promising direction within the Eurasian space.
Conjugation of the Integration Potentials of the Legal Framework of the EAEU and the CIS: Current State and Prospects for Improvement
Authors: Maryshev A. A.
Published: April 2023

Aim. Give a reasoned assessment of the prospects for integration interaction between the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Eurasian Economic Union.

Tasks. Tell about the beginning of the functioning of the Commonwealth of Independent States and give the structure of actually functioning bodies of the Commonwealth, substantiate the legitimacy of choosing the Eurasian Economic Union as a “hard core” of post-Soviet integration, assess the prospects of the idea of conjugation of the integration potentials of the CIS and the EAEU, tell about the joint work of the CIS and the EAEU to eliminate conflicts in their legal acts, substantiate the need for further work of the CIS and the EAEU within the framework of the emerging Greater Eurasian Partnership.

Methods. To create the author’s version of the system of CIS bodies, institutional approaches were used in conjunction with structural and functional approaches. The “integration matryoshka” of the CIS — FTA — EAEU was built by the modeling method. Using the method of comparative analysis, the work of the working group on conjugation of the EAEU law and the legal framework of the CIS was analyzed. The forecasting method was used to justify the further work of the CIS and the EAEU within the framework of the emerging Greater Eurasian Partnership.

Results. On the basis of specific examples, recommendations are given for combining soft and hard approaches for the development of the EAEU and the CIS with the prospect of building a Greater Eurasian Partnership in the future. Thus, the EAEU should pay attention to strengthening the supranational structure of the association, as well as to the practice of ASEAN dialogue mechanisms. At the same time, following the example of the EU, one should not create an excessive bureaucracy and exert excessive pressure on countries by interfering in their internal affairs.

Conclusions. The contradiction between national and supranational interests is the most profound problem in any integration association, including the EAEU and the CIS. However, there is no universal method for solving this problem. The EAEU and the CIS should combine in their practice the experience of the EU and ASEAN as a hard and soft approach to balancing national and supranational interests.
The Specifics of the Internal Image of the People’s Republic of China in News Publications
Authors: Ivannikov N. S. , Pravdina E. E.
Published: April 2023

This study is aimed to analyze the methods of forming the internal image of the People’s Republic of China in the domestic media as part of the coverage of an initially negative topic — the coronavirus epidemic, as well as characterizing the PRC’s strategy for positioning its own image.

Aim. Reveal the specifics of the coverage of the COVID-19 epidemic, considering it as a method of forming the internal political image of the People’s Republic of China in the online news media.

Tasks. Determine the techniques used by domestic news network media to form the state image among the audience, based on a content analysis of a corpus of Chinese articles on the topic of the coronavirus epidemic.

Methods. In order to determine the specifics of the coverage of the epidemic in the Chinese media, a qualitative and quantitative content analysis was carried out using a set of parameters developed by the authors, which includes the possibility of sampling, lexical heading analysis, sentiment analysis, and frame analysis.

Results. The government of the PRC is able to form a positive discourse in covering an initially negative situation, such as the spread of the COVID-19 virus and the resulting pandemic, which is fully reflected both in the headlines and in the tone of the texts and the use of certain frames. Such an opportunity is provided by such factors as: the state’s ability to control the press at a high level, the Golden Shield international information filtering system, which is specific to the People’s Republic of China, censorship and taboo coverage of a number of topics that are undesirable from the official point of view of the Communist Party of China.

Conclusion. When analyzing the Chinese sample corpora, it was concluded that the Chinese government is pursuing a targeted policy to create a positive image through high control over local news publications. The internal image formation is in line with the concept of building a socialist society with Chinese characteristics, promoting the construction of a community of common destiny for mankind, fighting hegemony and imperialism in the world, resolutely defending national sovereignty, security and technological development, and promoting cooperation under the “One Belt, One Road” Initiative.

Tasks. Identification of prospects for the development of Eurasian integration in the field of expanding export cargo flows of Russian gas to friendly countries against the background of the escalation of the energy crisis in the world taking into account exogenous and endogenous factors influencing changes in the production and consumption of Russian gas.

Methods. Methods of system and comparative analysis, scientific generalization, expert assessments, forecasting methods.

Results. The author presents an analysis of Russia’s role in global gas s upplies, an assessment of falling export volumes, as well as a short-term forecast of changes in pipeline gas cargo flows according to optimistic, basic and pessimistic scenarios.

Conclusion. According to the author, in order to exclude significant losses in gas production in Russia and to implement an optimistic scenario, it is important to accelerate the timing of the unification of the western and eastern gas transmission systems, as well as the implementation of investment projects for the construction of gas pipeline capacities “Power of Siberia — 2”, “Soyuz — Vostok”, “Turkish Stream — 2”.
Copyright and Digital Sovereignty

Digital transformation affects all social spheres bringing to life interactive technologies and virtual reality. Since the virtual (digital) space depends on the digital and creative solutions that form its technological base, insofar the legal regime of copying creative solutions affects both the freedom of creativity necessary for sustainable development and public control which is significant for maintaining the manageability of sovereign states and integrational unions.

Aim. Improving the legal regime for the protection of interactive works to create a universal and harmonious information space where the rights of authors and the economic interests of software developers are protected, as well as digital sovereignty is guaranteed.

Tasks. The concept development for legal protection of interactive works and the political and legal modeling of the digital (information) space presuppose the implementation of international agreements in the field of intellectual rights, as well as solution of several tasks to formalize the results of the creative activity that are perceived through digital technologies.

Methods. Political and legal modeling of the digital space is carried out by introducing terminological certainty and creating a system of the interactive works protection. Such legal construction should provide effective public control while preserving creative freedom in digital space.

Results. The protection of the copyright and moral rights of the authors of interactive works differs significantly from the legal protection of audiovisual artworks and literature. While the form of objective expression in computer programs may be similar to a literary artwork, their perception by the target audience is fundamentally different in that it models a virtual (digital) space, which the state administration seeks to control in recent years.

Conclusion. The state administration’s tendency to digital sovereignty makes sense only if the target audience demonstrates high demand for interactive artworks published under the state jurisdiction. Since the information space is universal, the digital sovereignty of the state is inextricably linked with participation in integration unions that ensure the p roper quality of the results of creative work and create the digital space that is necessary under digital transformation for the interactive art development and the prosperity of creative corporations.
Point-of-Care Ultrasound and Procedural Instruction in the Family Medicine Clerkship: A CERA Study

Published: April 2023

Background and Objectives: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) education has become a mainstay in resident education in multiple specialties, including family medicine (FM), but literature regarding the use of POCUS during clinical medical student education is lacking. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether and how POCUS education is conducted in FM clerkships in the United States and Canada and how it compares to more traditional FM clinical procedural instruction.
Methods: As part of the 2020 Council of Academic Family Medicine’s Educational Research Alliance survey of FM clerkship directors, we surveyed clerkship directors in the United States and Canada about whether and how POCUS education, as well as other procedural instruction in their institutions and FM clerkships, was conducted. We included questions regarding POCUS and other procedural use by preceptors and faculty.
Results: We found that 13.9% of clerkship directors reported structured POCUS education during clerkship, while 50.5% included other procedural training. The survey revealed that 65% of clerkship directors felt that POCUS was an important component of FM, but this was not a predictor of POCUS use in personal or preceptor practice nor of its inclusion in FM clerkship education.
Conclusions: Structured POCUS education is a rare component of FM clerkship education; while more than half of clerkship directors felt that POCUS was important for FM, few used it personally or included it in clerkship education. As POCUS continues to be integrated into medical education in FM, the clerkship may represent an opportunity to expand POCUS exposure for students.

Background: Respiratory birch pollen allergy and associated
oral allergy syndrome affect more than 150 million people. IgE
cross-sensitization to major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1 and
pathogenesis-related (PR10) plant food allergens is responsible for the
pollen-food allergy syndrome. Methods: We designed a
recombinant protein, AB-PreS, consisting of non-allergenic peptides
derived from the IgE binding sites of Bet v 1 and the cross-reactive
apple allergen, Mal d 1, fused to the PreS domain of HBV surface protein
as immunological carrier. AB-PreS was expressed in E. coli and
purified by chromatography. The allergenic activity of AB-PreS was
tested using sera and basophils from birch pollen patients allergic. The
protective effect of AB-PreS was assessed by inhibition ELISA test using
sera allergic patients and from immunized rabbits. Results:
IgE-binding experiments and basophil activation test revealed the
hypoallergenic nature of AB-PreS. IgG antibodies induced by 5 injections
with AB-PreS inhibited allergic patients’ IgE binding to Bet v 1 and Mal
d 1 better than did IgG induced by up to 30 injections of six licensed
birch pollen allergen extract-based vaccines. Additionally, immunization
with AB-PreS induced HBV-specific antibodies potentially protecting the
infection. Conclusion: The recombinant AB-PreS-based vaccine is
hypoallergenic, safe and superior to currently registered allergen
extract-based vaccines for the treatment of the birch pollen food
allergy syndrome.
