Published: November 2023

Aim: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a heterogeneous disease with a complex pathophysiology that can affect both autonomic and somatic components of the nervous system. Interoception is a perceptual and cognitive concept expressing the internal sensory perception that evaluates signals from the body and internal organs. Interoceptive abilities have been indicated to be reduced in various chronic pain syndromes and chronic neuropathies. That said, interoceptive skills in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with and without a previous DPN comorbidity have not been comparatively examined. We aimed to examine whether there is a difference in terms of interoceptive accuracy in individuals diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with and without DPN for the first time.

Methods: 20 individuals with a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with a co-diagnosis of DPN and 20 individuals with a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus without a co-diagnosis of DPN were recruited in the Electroneurophysiology Laboratory of Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University. The presence of DPN was evaluated with both Toronto Clinical Scoring System and electromyographic examination. General cognitive status was evaluated with the Mini-Mental State Examination, general psychiatric status with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and cardiac interoceptive accuracy with the Heartbeat Counting Test.

Results: No difference was found in terms of cardiac interoceptive accuracy in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with and without DPN.

Conclusions: The potential decrease in cardiac interoception might be related to chronic pain or autonomic neuropathy rather than the presence of DPN. Studies examining interoception in these subgroups are required.
Romatolojik hastalıklarda resveratrol: Geleneksel derleme
Authors: DEMİRCİ YILDIRIM Tuba
Published: November 2023

Resveratrol (RE; (3,5,4′-trihydroxystilbene)) ilk olarak 1939’da Takaoka tarafından Veratrum grandiflorum’dan izole edilen; üzüm, çilek ve yaban mersini gibi bitkilerde bulunan doğal bir polifenoldür. Birçok çalışma resveratrolün oksidatif stresi baskılayıp, inflamatuar yanıtı azaltarak, mitokondriyal fonksiyonları iyileştirdiğini ve apoptozu modüle ettiğini göstermiştir. Romatolojik hastalıklar sistemik lupus eritematozus (SLE), sistemik skleroz (SSc), romatoid artrit (RA), Takayasu arteriti (TA) gibi sistemik vaskülitleri de içeren otoimmun hastalıklar grubu ile spondiloartritler, gut, osteoartrit gibi inflamatuvar artritleri de içeren heterojen bir hastalık grubudur. Romatolojik hastalıkların tedavisinde ana hedef inflamasyonun baskılanmasıdır. Bu derlemenin amacı, resveratrolün romatolojik hastalıklarda kullanımı ve etkilerine dair yayınlanmış güncel, deneysel ve randomize kontrollü klinik çalışmaları derleyerek son bilgileri özetlemektir. Resveratrolün deney hayvan modellerinde birçok romatolojik hastalığa karşı etkili olduğu gösterilmiştir. Resveratrolün, romatolojik hasta grubunda az sayıda çalışması olmakla birlikte geleneksel tedavilere destek olarak kullanımı önerilmiştir. Resveratrolün romatolojik hastalıklardaki etkinliğini, ilaç etkileşimlerini ve yan etkilerini değerlendirmek için daha fazla çalışmaya ihtiyaç vardır.

Authors: Tas Ayca , Agbektas Tugba , Karadag Ahmet , Aydin Süleyman , Hayta Emrullah , Silig Yavuz
Published: November 2023

Background:

Fibromyalgia is a soft tissue rheumatism characterized by chronic and
widespread musculoskeletal pain at specific points in the body.

Objectives:

In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between Early Growth Response
(EGR1, EGR2, and EGR3) protein levels in patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS)
and healthy controls.

Methods:

In our studies, 76 FMS patient group and 78 healthy control group who were newly diagnosed
with primary FMS according to the 2010 American College of Rheumatology criteria for
fibromyalgia in Sivas Cumhuriyet University Hospital, Physical Therapy, and Rehabilitation were
used. Venous blood samples were taken from both groups for the measurement of EGR1, EGR2,
and EGR3 protein plasma levels, and protein levels were determined using ELISA methods. Statistical
parametric test assumptions were compared using the Independent Student's t-test. In addition,
specificity, sensitivity, and AUC values were calculated with the ROC curve.

Results:

The relationship between plasma EGR1 protein levels of FMS patients and control
groups was statistically significant (p=0.001).

Conclusion:

EGR1 protein levels were found to be lower in the patient group diagnosed with
FMS compared to the control group. It has been suggested that EGR1 protein levels can be important
in the diagnosis of FMS disease.
STAM-binding Protein-like 1 Promotes Growth and Migration of
Colorectal Cancer by NF-κB Pathway
Authors: Zhou Xinghua , Cheng Yue , Kang Jian , Mao Gang
Published: November 2023

Background:

STAM-binding protein-like 1 (STAMBPL1) functions as a deubiquitinase
to cleave Lys63 ubiquitin linkage, and is associated with cancer dissemination and progression.
The role of STAMBPL1 in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unclear.

Methods:

STAMBPL1 expression was determined by western blot and qRT-PCR. Cell proliferation
was detected by colony formation and MTT assays, and apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry.
The metastasis was evaluated by transwell and wound healing assays. An animal xenograft
experiment was used to investigate the effect of STAMBPL1 on tumor growth.

Results:

The expression of STAMBPL1 was elevated in CRC cells. Knockdown of STAMBPL1
reduced cell viability of CRC and suppressed the proliferation, invasion, and migration. Apoptosis
of CRC was induced by silence of STAMBPL1. Tumor growth of CRC was also suppressed by
the silence of STAMBPL1. Knockdown of STAMBPL1 increased IκB and decreased phosphorylation
of IκB to reduce p65 phosphorylation.

Conclusion:

Knockdown of STAMBPL1 inhibited cell growth and metastasis of CRC through inactivation
of the NF-κB pathway.

Analysis of Copper (II) Sesame-Soap Complexes with Urea and Thiourea
Ligand in Non-aqueous Solvents
Authors: Meena Asha
Published: November 2023

Surfactants have great importance in biological and drug industries and the complexes of
metallic soaps with various ligands are used in approximately every region of national economy.
Therefore, our keen interest to study of degradation kinetics and biological importance of Cu (II) surfactants
in non-aqueous and non-polar solvent benzene. Present research work has been initiated with
synthesis, systematic study of structural elucidation, thermal degradation, kinetics and biocidal activities
of copper (II) sesame-soap complexes with macrocyclic nitrogen and sulphur containing donar
ligands like urea and thiourea. The thermal degradation of copper (II) sesame-soap complexes were
carried out for analysis of degradation kinetics and estimation of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters
using different methods at heating rate 10oC min-1. Copper (II) sesame-soap complexes of such
ligands have also been analysed against Staphylococus aureus. This research work consolidates the
synthesis of copper (II) sesame soap-urea and thiourea complexes by conventional methods and the
structure of these complexes were assigned according to elemental analysis and molecular weight determinations.
IR, NMR and ESR spectral studies have also been done to understand structural aspects.
The anti-microbial activities of copper (II) sesame-soap urea and thiourea complexes have been
evaluated by testing against Staphylococus aureus. The present research work includes information of
thermal analysis using TGA technique to find out their kinetic and thermodynamic parameters by using
diverse equations such as Coats-Redfern equation, Horowitz-Metzger equation, Broido equation,
Piloyan–Novikova equation. Moreover, the results obtained from anti-microbial screening have been
used to analyze the anti-microbial activities of copper (II) sesame-soap urea and thiourea complexes
against gram-positive bacteria Staphylococus aureus. These results show that complexes of copper
ion co-ordinated with different nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur containing ligands, are very important in
the field of pharmaceutical chemistry due to its significant role in the inhibition activity. The study of
these complexes concludes that the synthesized complexes were found to possess appreciable bactericidal
properties at different concentrations because chelation increases the anti-microbial potency.
Microencapsulation of Doxorubicin Using Chitosan
Authors: Puertas José , López Arianne , Cazorla Francisco González , Labrador Manuel Giménez , Repetto Baubin Mattias Adrian , Arias Manuel José Lis
Published: November 2023

Introduction:

For some medical treatments associated with cancer, the invasion of
organs is required, which must be done in a totally controlled way to obtain the expected results
in the treatment. Today, most medical treatments make use of invasive therapies to combat the
affected cancer tissues. Acting in this way also destroys those tissues not affected by the
generation of tumor centers that confront the cancer tumor center to be treated.

Methods:

To ensure the objective of the treatment, doses of the drug to be administered in a little controlled and free via are used that are ultimately ineffective due to the high degradation of the active compound due to its non-existent stabilization and protection after its passage through the body and consequently possible episodes of phagocytization, responsible for the reticuloendothe-lial system. It is well known the side effects that one of the most promising anti-cancer molecules, doxorubicin, shows. This is a problem for its use, and one of the possibilities to avoid these desired behaviors, microencapsulation could be a possible approach.

Results:

Microencapsulation of drugs allows the design of micro-level structures capable of con-taining the active agent with sufficient protection and stabilization to be able to reach the target site with the highest possible concentration of drug to be able to be gradually released in its entirety and produce the desired effect in the therapy in a controlled way according to a previous-ly studied kinetic profile, which will allow a type of treatment in which the therapy will be non-invasive due to the high degree of targeting selectivity that the microcapsule allows.

Conclusion:

The use of the amine groups present in the chitosan polymer's structure to increase or modify the molecular interactions with doxorubicin is a very interesting aspect that will be treated here. These interactions help to make possible the control and protection of the active principle, as it is shown in the quantification of the drug-delivery behavior of the system made.
The effect of changing the length of the components of the muscle-tendon unit of the knee joint on its isometric force and torque
Authors: Tyazhelov O.A. , Karpinska O.D. , Bitsadze M.Z. , Mikhanovskyi D.O.
Published: November 2023

Background. A knee contracture developed due to immobilization after extra-articular injuries leads to lameness, impaired walking, and the appearance of pain in other joints of the lower limb. Long-term immobilization of the joint leads to weakening and increasing stiffness of muscles, changes in the length of tendons and myofibrils, loss of cushioning properties of cartilage, inhibition of blood circulation processes in the periarticular tissues. Adequate rehabilitation and recovery of the knee joint function after immobilization is a medical and social problem in terms of reducing disability. The goal of the work: to study the influence of changes in strength, length of muscles and tendons of the knee joint on torque. Materials and methods. The OpenSim Leg39.osim base model was used for simulation. The parameters of the muscles and tendons were changed in accordance with the conditions of immobilization for 45 days at the angle of preferential position of the limb — 15°. Three models were analyzed: a basic model without changes in muscle parameters, a model with a change in the length of the muscle-tendon unit, and a model with an additional change in muscle strength (according to calculations). Results. Changing the length of the components of the muscle-tendon unit of the flexors has little effect on both the isometric strength of the muscles and the knee joint torques produced by these muscles. A decrease in the maximum isometric force of the flexor muscles leads to a decrease in torque. When the length of the extensors changes, there is a sharp increase in the isometric force and torques of the knee joint and a change in the direction of the active torque trajectory. A decrease in muscle strength leads to a decrease in the level of torques approaching normal, but the direction remains unchanged. Conclusions. Mathematical modeling of the effect of changes in the components of the muscle-tendon unit of the muscles responsible for the movement of the knee joint showed that minor alterations in their length lead to noticeable violations of both the torque of the joint and changes in the isometric strength of the muscle during movements. Predicting the change in knee joint torque can be useful in studying specific clinical situations with contractures caused by a long-term immobilization after extra-articular injuries. But it cannot be fully transferred into practice due to the significant conditionality of model parameters. The used modeling method can show trends in the change of muscle functioning parameters when changing their geometry, and can be extended to study of other muscle and joint parameters.

Authors: Arévalo Naranjo Mónica Alexandra , González Carballo José Rafael , Giraldo Andrés , Salcedo Jiménez Ramés
Published: November 2023

Descripción del caso. Una yegua hannoveriana de 25 años fue remitida a la Clínica de Grandes Especies del Colegio Veterinario de Ontario de la Universidad de Guelph para la remoción de un urolito. El animal provenía de Guelph, Ontario, provincia de Canadá que se caracteriza por tener un clima templado y nublado.

Hallazgos clínicos. Antecedentes de hematuria y diagnóstico previo de urolitiasis cística.

Pruebas de laboratorio. Ultrasonografía y cistoscopia. En el ultrasonido transrectal se encontró una estructura hiperecoica de 10 cm en la vejiga de la paciente congruente con el diagnóstico previo de urolito vesical. Posteriormente se realizó una cistoscopia clasificando al urolito como tipo i.

Tratamiento y evolución. La remoción del urolito se realizó a través de una técnica transuretral con el uso de una bolsa de recuperación laparoscópica. El procedimiento se llevó a cabo con la paciente de pie usando sedación y un bloqueo epidural caudal. El área perineal se preparó asépticamente y mediante endoscopia estéril, se ingresó a la uretra. La bolsa de recuperación laparoscópica fue introducida pasando al lado del endoscopio, y una vez dentro de la vejiga, fue abierta para manipular el urolito. Debido al tamaño del urolito se utilizó un osteótomo y un martillo para fragmentarlo y extraerlo. No se reportaron complicaciones a corto o largo plazo. 

Relevancia clínica. La extracción de urolitos mediante una bolsa de recuperación laparoscópica constituye una alternativa mínimamente invasiva, eficiente y con tiempos de recuperación mínimos inclusive si los urolitos son de gran tamaño.

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) arises when microorganisms develop
resistance to formerly effective medications. This poses a significant
global threat, impacting healthcare systems and economies. AMR leads to
severe illnesses, prolonged hospitalizations, and increased costs, with
millions affected annually, particularly those with chronic conditions.
It’s a pressing issue, especially exemplified by multi-drug resistant
(MDR) bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA), making treatment more challenging. Biofilms, once overlooked,
now demand attention. Addressing biofilms in chronic infections is
crucial. Urgent measures are needed, targeting biofilm-forming bacteria
using alternative strategies due to their resistance to standard
treatments. This study focused on evaluating phytocompounds from Nigella
sativa against S. aureus biofilms, with a specific focus on clumping
factor B (ClfB). Chlorogenic acid emerged as a lead compound based on
binding energy (-8.4 kcal/mol) and binding site analysis. The analysis
of molecular dynamics data affirms that chlorogenic acid formed a stable
complex with the ClfB under physiological conditions. Additionally, in
vitro testing validated the effectiveness of chlorogenic acid against
biofilms, leading to approximately a 60% reduction in biofilm formation
in S. aureus MTCC 3160. The thorough evaluation of biofilm through both
light microscopy and electron microscopy revealed that chlorogenic acid
treatment reduced biofilm formation and resulted in decreased bacterial
colonization. Furthermore, the clustering of bacteria on the glass
surface diminished in presence of chlorogenic acid. The findings of this
study establish a foundation for the utilization of chlorogenic acid as
an effective antibiofilm agent against S. aureus, offering a novel
perspective for the development of antibacterial medications.

Marine regulations aim to reduce sulfur and nitrogen exhaust emissions
from maritime shipping. Here, two compliance pathways for reducing
sulfur dioxide emissions, fuel sulfur content reduction and exhaust wet
scrubbing, are studied for their effects on physicochemical properties
and cloud forming abilities of engine exhaust particles. A test-bed
diesel engine was utilized to study fresh exhaust emissions from
combustion of non-compliant, high sulfur content fuel with (WS) and
without (HiS) the usage of a wet scrubber as well as a regulatory
compliant, low sulfur content fuel (LoS). Particle number emissions are
decreased by ≈ 99% when switching to LoS due to absence of 20-30 nm
sulfate particles. While number emissions for WS are also decreased, a
shift in the sulfate mode towards larger sizes was found to increase
particle mass emission factors by at least 31%. Changes in the mixing
state induced by the compliance measures are reflected in the
hygroscopicity of the exhaust particles. Fuel sulfur reduction decreased
cloud condensation nuclei emissions by at least 97% due to emissions of
primarily hydrophobic soot particles. Wet scrubbing increased those
emissions, mainly driven by changes in particle size distributions. Our
results indicate that both compliance alternatives have no obvious
impact on the ice forming abilities of 200 nm exhaust particles. These
detailed results are relevant for atmospheric processes and might be
useful input parameters for cloud-resolving models to investigate ship
aerosol cloud interactions and to quantify the impact of shipping on the
radiative budget.
The Influence of Subtropical Mode Water in Nutrients in the South Atlantic
Authors: Birocchi Paula , Bernardo Piero S , Sato Olga T
Published: November 2023

The South Atlantic subtropical mode water (STMW) is characterized by
a volume of water confined between the seasonal and
permanent thermoclines. It is formed during the months of winter to
early spring, July to October, near the Brazil-Malvinas Confluence
region and the Brazil Current recirculation gyre. The STMW presents a
homogeneous temperature (T) and salinity distribution in the
horizontal and vertical, on average reaching up to 170 m of layer
thickness. We investigate the impact of STMW in the nutrient’s
distribution and the nutricline depth in the western South Atlantic.
Three data sets were used to identify the mode water and determine
nutrients concentration:i) My Ocean biogeochemical model reanalysis; ii)
World Ocean Atlas 2013 (WOA13) monthly climatology; and iii) the In Situ
Analysis System (ISAS) data. Based on WOA13, during the summer (January,
February and March) the STMW is found at subsurface from 100 m to 225 m
deep; it has a mean layer thickness of 112 ± 5.0 m, reaching a maximum
of 145 m. During the winter, the maximum layer thickness is 250 m while
the mean is 155 ± 20.3 m. In the summer, STMW is in subsurface from 100
m to 225 m deep. As expected, the formation of mode water occured mostly
in the winter to mid-spring. Using the model and ISAS data, we found a
correlation between a deepening of the surface layer of minimum nitrate
concentration and the mode water formation period (from June to
October) in vertical profiles. From 2002 to 2012, greater nutrients
concentration were found during the STMW formation period, from surface
to 200 m depth, than in other periods with STMW absence. We also found a
peak chlorophyll-a concentration during STMW formation period,
suggesting that STMW presence in the southwest South Atlantic is
important for biological processes in the upper ocean.

Within the solar wind throughout the inner heliosphere, observations
reveal the presence of magnetic field enhancements accompanied by thin
current sheets at varying distances from the sun and across different
longitudes and latitudes. Two primary explanations have been proposed to
elucidate these phenomena: Solar wind-dust interaction and interlacing
flux ropes. In this study, we employ multi-fluid Magnetohydrodynamics
(MHD) and Hall MHD models to simulate these hypotheses, respectively.
Our findings indicate a concurrence between both models and the observed
phenomena, suggesting that both processes may result in the same kind of
enhancement. Furthermore, both models make predictions pointing to
additional types of observational data, occurring at distinct spatial or
temporal stages of the interaction. This convergence of model
predictions with empirical data underscores the need for further
observational and modeling studies to comprehensively test these models.
This research enhances our knowledge of the inner heliosphere’s dynamics
and the influence of the solar wind on the Earth’s magnetosphere,
thereby shedding light on critical aspects of space weather and its
potential impact on our planet.

Introduction. Physical activity affects all three domains of adolescent
health. It affects physical, psychological and social functioning. During
the period of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, physical activity has
changed significantly, which may affect the health potential of this
population. Material and Methods. The research was conducted as a
cross-sectional study. A questionnaire was designed as a research instrument
in order to examine the personal experiences of adolescents in regard to
physical activity during the coronavirus pandemic. The study included a
sample of 120 students attending the Secondary Medical School ?Dr Misa
Pantic? in Valjevo. Participation in the study was voluntary and anonymous.
Results. The largest number of respondents in the observed sample (N = 120)
recognized that physical inactivity is one of the most significant risk
factors for the health potential of adolescents. There is a statistically
significant difference in the responses of the respondents from the aspect
of engaging in physical activities during the coronavirus disease 2019
pandemic (p = 0.001). Respondents of both genders understand the importance
of regular physical activity and its impact on mental health, sleep and
rest, nutrition and other predictors that have a dominant influence on
health. Conclusion. The commendable result is that adolescents recognize
that physical inactivity is one of the greatest health risks. In preventive
medicine, it is necessary to intensify health education programs that
encourage the importance of physical activity in the period of adolescence.

Published: November 2023

Possible immune system interactions due to vaccination and drugs used in general anesthesia represent a dilemma for pediatric anesthesiologists in everyday practice. Immunosuppression caused by anesthesia and surgical trauma can affect the immunization process and cause-specific unwanted reactions. On the other hand, side effects due to vaccination can confuse clinicians in the immediate postoperative course. Both the nature of the vaccine and the type of surgery determines the delay period of elective surgical intervention. This current topic aims to present the scientific facts about the complex interactions between vaccination, immunization, general anesthesia, and surgical trauma and to provide recommendations for preoperative preparation.
