De-Democratization and the Paradox of State Fragility: Can Nigeria’s Democracy Survive?
Authors: Nkwede Joseph , Azizah Nurul , Nwankwo Oliver
Published: June 2023

This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the discourse of De-democratization and the paradox of State fragility with special attention to Nigeria. While employing content analytical methods and structural-functionalism theory, the paper argued that Nigerian democracy is bedeviled with enormity of challenges ranging from hollow electoral process, economic conundrum, inequality and marginalization, corruption, ethnic chauvinism among others, which has weakened the country’s democratization effort. Even though the country has existed for a century, it has failed to imbibe the democratic ethos. The discourse critically ventured into proffering possible ways that could ensure the survivability of Nigeria’s democracy with a post – colonial state formation
Denunciation of Treaty in International Politics: A Critical Analysis of US’ Renunciation from the Paris Climate Change Agreement
Authors: Offor Ogbonnaya , Odoh Samuel , Iwuozor Pedro
Published: June 2023

Since the wake of the Westphalia Peace (or Treaty) in 1648, the idea of treaty has become handy and instrumental to the conditioning of the globe and maintenance of peace in the international arena. One of such treaties is the Paris Climate Agreement entered by states to forestall global warming and other climatic issues. It is however, problematic to note that states now willingly opt out of agreements entered in the international arena. This study sets out to interrogate why states denounce treaties, focusing on President Donald Trump’s choice to pull US out of Paris Climate Agreement. The study is anchored on the theory of Rational Actor Model, causal research design, documentary method of data collection, and content analytical method of data inquiry and analysis. The study argued that the concern of reduced economic competitiveness, conditional commitments, and nationalistic thinking are to be considered as US reasons for Paris Climate Treaty denunciation. The study deciphered that US’ choice to pull out of the Paris Climate agreement under Donald Trump’s presidency is not unconnected to Trump’s rationalistic choice or idea to put US first and make her great through nationalistic economic policies devoid of global influences, and global economic bazar, which he saw as wasteful venture. The study recommended that humanity needs all hands (states) on deck to combat the common enemy of global warming occasioned by climate change. Hence, the treaty through a more accommodating and friendly protocol should be sustained by all parties.

Lantana camara (LC) is an aromatic plant used in traditional medicine in Burkina Faso in association with other plants for the management of many microbial and inflammatory pathologies. The objective of this study was to determine the chemical composition, the antioxidant and antitumor activities on prostate and cervical cancer cells in culture of the essential oil (EO) of this plant. The chemical composition of Lantana camara EO was determined by Gas Chromatography with Flame-Ionization Detection (GC-FID) and Gas Chromatography–Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis and the antiproliferative activity was evaluated through the 3[4.5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) test assay. A total of 48 compounds have been identified in the essential oil of Lantana camara of which cabinene, beta-caryophyllene, eucalyptol and alpha-humulene are found to be the majority. However, 4 compounds, unknown in the literature, present in this essential oil have not been identified. Lantana camara essential oil inhibits both the proliferation of HeLa cells from cervical cancer and LNCaP (Lymph Node Carcinoma of the Prostate) cells from prostate cancer. Beyond constituting the scientific basis for the use of Lantana camara in traditional medicine through its antiproliferative effect. These results require further study by determining the nature of its unidentified compounds and its mechanism of molecular action on these two cancer cell lines in vitro.

Published: June 2023

Cette étude a été réalisée afin de caractériser les systèmes agroforestiers (SAF) à base de cacaoyers dans les trois dernières zones de production cacaoyère en Côte d’Ivoire (Centre-Ouest, Sud-Ouest et Ouest). Pour y arriver, un inventaire floristique couplé à des mesures dendrométriques ont été réalisés dans 411 parcelles de 625 m² installées dans différentes cacaoyères. Il ressort de cet inventaire que la richesse spécifique moyenne par parcelle est de 3,11 (Ouest) ; 3,26 (Centre-Ouest) et 1,92 (Sud-Ouest). La densité des arbres associés est de 48,16 individus/ha (Ouest) ; 22,79 individus/ha (Centre-Ouest) et 25,39 individus/ha (Sud-Ouest). Les parcelles de l’Ouest sont dominées par des arbres de hauteur ≤ 8 m. Celles du Centre-Ouest et du Sud-Ouest sont dominées par des arbres dont la hauteur est supérieure à 8 m. L’analyse multivariée a permis d’identifier trois SAF. Les SAF complexes jeunes à canopée ouverte, rencontrés à l’Ouest, sont caractérisés par une forte densité d’arbres associés. Les SAF simples à forte densité de cultures pérennes associées sont présents au Centre-Ouest. Les SAF simples à cacaoyères vieillissantes sont caractéristiques des parcelles du Sud-Ouest avec 30 ans d’âge en moyenne. Ces résultats mettent en évidence une variation des SAF suivant le gradient de production cacaoyère.

This study was carried out to characterize cocoa-based agroforestry systems (FAS) in the last three cocoa-producing areas in Côte d'Ivoire (Centre-West, South-West and West). To achieve this, a floristic inventory coupled with dendrometric measurements were carried out in 411 plots of 625 m² installed in different cocoa farms. This inventory showed that the average species richness per plot was 3.11 (West), 3.26 (Centre-West) and 1.92 (South-West). The density of associated trees is 48.16 individuals/ha (West), 22.79 individuals/ha (Central West) and 25.39 individuals/ha (South West). Plots in the West are dominated by trees ≤ 8 m in height. Those in the Centre-West and South-West are dominated by trees taller than 8 m. The multivariate analysis conducted identified three FAS. The young complex FAS with an open canopy, found in the west, are characterized by a high density of associated trees. Simple FAS with a high density of associated perennial crops are found in the Centre-west. Simple FAS with ageing cocoa farms are characteristic of plots in the south-west, with plots averaging 30 years in age. These results show that FAS vary according to the cocoa production gradient.

Authors: Ratheesh Sadanandan , Appu Anoop , Rauf Arun. A.
Published: June 2023

Lectins are univalent or polyvalent carbohydrate-binding proteins of non-immune origin that are widely distributed in the marine ecosystem. A lectin was isolated from marine algae Gracilaria verrucosa by G-100 gel filtration chromatography. This lectin was named GVL, agglutinated rat, rabbit, goat, chicken and human ABO erythrocytes. The antibacterial activity of this algal lectin was studied using disc diffusion method. GVL exhibited potent antibacterial activity against bacteria such as E.coli, S.pyogenes, S.aureus, E.faecalis, B.subtilis and coagulase-negative Staphylococci(CoNS) by disc diffusion method. Also, the results were compared with the standard antibiotic Ampicillin. These findings indicate that GVL is having therapeutic applications with great importance in clinical microbiology.
Error estimation for Differential Transform Method (DTM)solution of non-linear SIQRM biological model
Authors: Odetunde O
Published: June 2023

Solving a non-linear differential equation most times is difficult and requires some technicalities. Many semi-analytical methods were derived in literature to provide series solution to non-linear problem, with each method giving some level of accuracy when compared with their equivalent exact solution (or numerical solution in case exact does not exist). Thus, system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) arising from a formulated Susceptible-Infected-Quarantine-Recovered-Immunity (SIQRM) mathematical model of a disease dynamics were solved using DTM and Pade approximation; and their results numerically compared with Runge-Kutta order 4 (RK4). The table of result shows that DTM is reliable to tackle non-linear DE while Pade approximant improves its (DTM) accuracy.

Authors: Wang Jiwu , Xiao Fei , Dong Shanwu , Chen Yongli , Chen Xiaozhen
Published: June 2023

Purpose: To study the protective influence of baicalin (BA) against LPS-mediated acute lung injury (ALI) in a rat model.

Methods: Twenty-seven Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were assigned (9 rats each) to groups as follows: normal control (NC) treated intraperitoneally with  normal saline; lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group treated with 10 mg/kg LPS; and lipopolysaccharide and baicalin (LPS + Ba) group treated with 100 mg/kg  LPS, followed 15 min later by 10 mg/kg of baicalin. Pathological changes were assessed by H & E staining. Different types of cells were identified and  counted using Rayleigh Giemsa staining. Levels of IL-6 and TNF-α and IL-1β in pulmonary tissue were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent  assay (ELISA). Matute-Bello scoring method was applied to evaluate the extent of lung injury, while pulmonary expression levels of Nrf2, HO-1 and NQO1  were assayed with Western blot.

Results: Lung injury score, and numbers of neutrophils and macrophages were significantly higher in LPS than in NC group. Inflammatory score, and  numbers of neutrophils and macrophages in LPS + BA group were significantly lower than those in LPS group (p < 0.05). Compared with NC group, lung  tissue levels of IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β in LPS group were significantly increased, but were significantly reduced in LPS + BA rats, relative to LPS rats (p <  0.05). Expression levels of Nrf2, HO-1 and NQO1 in lung tissue were significantly lower in LPS group than in NC group (p < 0.05) but higher in lung tissue  of LPS + BA group, relative to LPS group.

Conclusion: Baicalin (BA) protects rats from LPS-induced ALI by enhancing the expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1  through activation of Nrf2/ARE signal pathway. These findings may be useful in developing novel BA-based anti-inflammatory drugs.

Published: June 2023

Purpose: To investigate the effectiveness of Wuling capsule for the treatment of patients diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).

Methods: Patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) admitted in Affiliated Hospital of Huanghe Science and Technology College, Zhengzhou, China  were treated with the Chinese traditional patent medicine, Wuling capsule. A self-control study was conducted before and after treatment.  Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), and Global Rating Scale (CGI-SI) were used to evaluate the symptoms of anxiety and  depression suffered by GAD patients before and after treatment. Inflammatory factors (IL-6, IL-8, and IFN-γ), superoxide dismutase (SOD), γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and glutamic acid (Glu) levels were assessed in the peripheral blood of patients using ELISA before and after treatment.

Results: A total of 58 patients with GAD completed 8 weeks of fixed-dose Wuling capsule treatment. After treatment, total scores on the HAMA scale,  HAMD scale, and CGI scale significantly improved compared with baseline, and the differences before and after treatment were statistically significant (p  < 0.01). The levels of inflammatory factors (IL-6, IL-8, and IFN-γ) in the peripheral blood of patients decreased significantly (p < 0.05). SOD and GABA/Glu  increased after treatment (p < 0.05). Nine patients (15.5 %) had mild reactions, but no patients withdrew from the study as result of adverse reactions.  

Conclusion: The Chinese traditional patent medicine, Wuling capsule, is effective in the treatment of GAD patients with high safety. Future studies will  need to explore the specific biological pathways and physiological processes that are involved in the treatment of GAD using Wuling capsule.

Published: June 2023

Purpose: To investigate the diagnostic value of sheath-guided frozen biopsy technique for interstitial lung disease (ILD).

Methods: In this retrospective study, 48 ILD patients of exclusive etiology admitted to Xi’an International Medical Center Hospital between October 1,  2021, and May 31, 2022, were randomly assigned to receive either endobronchial ultrasound with a guide sheath combined with transbronchial cryobiopsy TBCB (TBCB group), or endobronchial ultrasound with a guide sheath combined with transbronchial lung biopsy TBLB (TBLB group).

Results: The two groups were well-balanced in terms of baseline profiles (p = 0.94). The mean size of tissue blocks was 24.45 ± 2.83 mm2 in TBCB group  and 3.58 ± 0.89 mm2 in TBLB group. TBCB and TBLB groups presented with a diagnostic accuracy of 64.00 % (16/25) and 69.57 % (16/23), respectively,  while chi-square test demonstrated no significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.683). Chi-square test showed that there was significant  difference in the incidence of complications (p = 0.036) as well as the incidence of bleeding (p = 0 .045), but no significant difference in the incidence of  pneumothorax between the two groups (p = 0.605).

Conclusion: There are no significant differences in diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy between endobronchial ultrasound sheath-guided  frozen lung tissue biopsy and conventional clamped lung tissue biopsy for ILD, but the former has a lower incidence of complication than the latter. It is   necessary to conduct a larger clinical study to further validate these findings.

Published: June 2023

Purpose: To compare the efficacies of two surgical methods combined with tamsulosin in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) complicated with bladder stones.

Methods: A total of 86 patients with BPH complicated with bladder stones and admitted to The People’s Hospital of Dingzhou, Hebei, from October 2021 to October 2022 were selected as subjects. The patients were equally divided into groups A and B (n = 43). Patients in group A were treated with transurethral vaporization and electro-resection of the prostate (TURP) + percutaneous nephroscopic lithotripsy (PCNL), while patients in group B were  treated with TURP + holmium laser lithotripsy (HLL). Baseline clinical information, curative effect, surgery-related indicators, clinical symptoms, and recurrence were compared between the two groups of patients.

Results: At 4 weeks post-surgery, Qmax was significantly higher in group B than in  group A, while IPSS score, RUV, and prostate volume were significantly lower in group B than in group A (p ˂ 0.05). The levels of physiological state,  psychological state, social functionality and level of subjective judgment were higher in group B than in group A (p ˂ 0.05). The incidence of complications  in group A was 11.63 %, with a recurrence rate of 6.98 %, while the corresponding values for group B were 13.95 and 4.65 %, respectively  (p > 0.05).

Conclusion: The effect of TURP + HLL surgery on patients with BPH complicated with bladder stones is significantly better than that of TURP +  PCNL surgery. The former also reduces clinical symptoms while improving the quality of life of patients.
A Feasibility Study on Applying the Concept of Removing Odd Nodes to Design of Water Supply Pipe Network
Authors: Park Si Hyeong , Yoon Sukmin , Choi Doo Yong , Park No-Suk
Published: June 2023

Objectives : In this study, the concept of the Eulerian path, which has already been proposed as a solution to the problem of head loss and residual chlorine reduction caused by complexity of nodes and pipelines, and the non-Euerian path proposed in this study were compared and their feasibility were examined.Methods : The concepts of ‘removal of odd nodes’, ‘removal of 3-intersection nodes’, and ‘removal of zero demand nodes’ were applied to the virtual water supply networks, and the number of cases were analyzed and evaluated from the viewpoint of configuration complexity and hydraulic efficiency. For Euler graph and non-Euler graph water supply networks, each total pipe length, number of removal pipes, pressure head and flow rate were simulated with EPANET2 program.Results and Discussion : As a result of simplifying and designing new output networks for virtual Euler and non-Euler graph, it was revealed that the concept of ‘removing a 3-intersection nodes’ could be the most efficient by removing more pipes. However, in terms of configuring the output network as an Euler graph, the concept of ‘removing odd nodes’ can be considered more reasonable.Conclusion : It is difficult to configuring watersupply network as a perfect Euler graph. Therefore, the application of the concept of removing odd nodes suggested in this study can promote efficient simplification of the network. In addition, it can be thought that the application of this concept can expect efficiency in terms of hydraulics and water quality.

Published: June 2023

Objectives : To recycle the wasted activated carbon from water purifiers and reuse stormwater runoff, this study evaluated water quality of stormwater runoff with regeneration using granular activated carbon containing commercial activated carbon for water treatment and wasted activated carbon from household water purifiers.Methods : The removal of total coliforms, chloride, BOD, T-N, T-P, turbidity, and pH in stormwater runoff were analyzed by down-flow column test using granular activated carbon with varied mixing ratios. In addition, chemical modification with ferrous sulfate and ultrasonic treatment were conducted to improve the removal efficiency of total coliforms, and turbidity.Results and Discussion : The optimal mixing ratio of granular activated carbon was 7:3 (GAC:WGAC), which showed high removal efficiency of 88.2% for total coliforms, 70.8% for chloride, 72.6% for BOD, 88.4% for T-N, 50.7% for T-P, and 85.9% for turbidity. The granular activated carbon with surface modification using a 0.2 M FeSO4 solution with ultrasonic treatment demonstrated the highest removal efficiency, with a reduction of 11.8% in total coliforms, 29.2% in chloride, 12.1% in BOD, 20.3% in T-P, and 13.2% in turbidity, while T-N showed a decrease of 19.4% in removal efficiency.Conclusion : The granular activated carbon with a 7:3 mixing ratio showed highest removal efficiencies for all water quality parameters, while the total coliforms and turbidity did not meet the water quality standards for reclaimed water. This indicated that further physicochemical surface modification with FeSO4 and ultrasonic treatment was needed to improve the removal performance and meet the water quality standards for reclaimed water. This approach explored in this study using wasted activated carbon should be continued in the area of resource and water circulation to properly utilize resources of wastes.

Authors: Mejias Muñoz Jorge Enrique , Delgado Suárez Yoslenny
Published: June 2023

El béisbol en Cuba es tradición, identidad y cultura de la Nación. Desde su introducción al país, en la década del 60 del siglo XIX, se ha transmitido de una generación a otra, formando parte de las tradiciones que identifican al pueblo cubano. En el municipio de Jatibonico, Cuba, el béisbol ha sido, desde su fundación, parte de su idiosincrasia, y su práctica masiva un símbolo de ello. Sin embargo, a partir del año 2000 se ha dado un proceso en el cual el béisbol ha ido cediendo espacio en la preferencia de los jatiboniquenses. Revertir esta tendencia significa contribuir a mantener la identidad cultural de lo cubano. El propósito de la investigación es proponer una estrategia de para el rescate de las tradiciones deportivas beisboleras en el municipio de Jatibonico, Cuba. Se consultó bibliografía sobre el tema, se realizó un diagnóstico sobre el objeto de investigación con el empleo de la encuesta, la entrevista, la observación y la triangulación metodológica. Se constató una pérdida de las tradiciones beisboleras en la muestra estudiada, motivada, entre otras variables, por la escasez y costos de los medios para su práctica, la divulgación mediática concedida al fútbol en los medios masivos de comunicación, así como el desconocimiento de la historia del béisbol local. La estrategia que se propone está diseñada para contribuir a revertir la problemática planteada, rescatando y estimulando la práctica masiva de juegos tradicionales derivados del béisbol y divulgando la historia del béisbol local.

Published: June 2023

Esse artigo apresenta o relato de experiência do grupo psicoterapêutico de crianças realizado de modo concomitante ao grupo de familiares e tem como objetivo refletir, a partir da proposta de grupos paralelos e simultâneos de crianças e pais/cuidadores, a necessidade de escuta das famílias na atenção primária à saúde. Trata-se de uma intervenção desenvolvida por profissionais da psicologia em um centro de saúde em Porto Alegre, Brasil. O grupo de crianças é realizado desde 2006 a partir da demanda das famílias, escolas e profissionais da saúde. Ao entender a relevância da participação das famílias no processo psicoterapêutico das crianças e ao apostar nas potencialidades do dispositivo grupal, a equipe da psicologia propôs o grupo de pais/cuidadores em horário concomitante. Antes desta modalidade, a abordagem com as famílias era realizada individualmente. A realização dos grupos concomitantes contribuiu para o maior envolvimento das famílias, pois o espaço coletivo potencializou reflexões sobre questões familiares e transgeracionais que repercutem significativamente no processo terapêutico das crianças. A intervenção fomentou cuidados de saúde para além do indivíduo, possibilitando a ampliação da rede de apoio e melhor compreensão da dinâmica familiar e escolar, viabilizando a promoção da saúde mental em uma perspectiva integral.

Asasinarea atitudinii față de școală: de la chiul și absenteism la violență și abuz de substanțe
Authors: ȘLEAHTIȚCHI Mihai
Published: June 2023

This article provides a theoretical analysis of the inadequate behavior of some teachers, that can generate a series of harmful changes that can be found in the attitudes that their students show towards the educational institution, and towards the opportunity and purpose of their presence within it. Upon a more in-depth symptomatological analysis, it can be seen that they can be reflected in at least three variants of school behavior: the variant non-antisocial behaviour, when there is a low degree of dangerousness in relation to the educational institution turnacy, school absenteeism, school dropout), the variant of asocial behaviour, (acts of school vandalism, opposition and insubordination to the school authorities) and the variant of conduct with a pronounced antisocial character.

The study sample consisted of 315 full-time and part-time students, aged between 18 and 30 years (M = 20.5), from higher education institutions in the Republic of Moldova. The results showed that the self-attitude of private university students is slightly higher than that of state university students, does not represent a significant difference. Female students’ self-attitude is higher in comparison with male students. Middleincome holders have the highest values of self-attitude components. The origin also affects the students’ self-attitude; students from urban areas have a better attitude toward themselves than those from rural areas. Regarding the course of study, the highest indicators of self-esteem parameters are among first-year students, the difference between second-year students and third-year students is very small.

La presencia de hernia perineal secundaria supone un reto para el cirujano cuando requiere reparación quirúrgica ya que no hay una vía de abordaje o técnica superior a otra. Mostramos nuestra experiencia con esta entidad, secundaria a Operación de Miles. Entre 2005 y 2021, de 23 resecciones radicales llevadas a cabo, 2 pacientes (8,6%) presentaron hernia perineal secundaria sintomática que requirieron reparación. De nuestros pacientes reconstruidos, un hombre fue abordado por vía perineal y una mujer por vía abdominal laparoscópica. En ambos casos se reforzó el piso pelviano con malla con buena evolución postoperatoria, sin presentar recurrencia a 12 meses. Esta entidad es infrecuente, sinembargo su incidencia parece aumentar. Cuando necesita resolución se puede abordar por vía perineal, abdominal o combinada con similares resultados. El uso de mallas reemplazó a la sutura primaria de la brecha. La profilaxis es importante, aunque faltan estudios que determinen su real utilidad

Product promotion is a way for business owners to increase sales of existing goods. Business owners could use association rules as a consideration of product promotion policies. Determination of association rules can be determined using the market basket analysis method with the fp-growth algorithm. From the research, there are 248 association rules for goods that are often purchased simultaneously with minimum support of 0.01 and minimum confidence of 0.1. Of the 248 rules, there are seven rules that have a confidence value of more than 0.5. Of the seven rules, flour appeared five times, and the cake mat and cake box had the highest confidence value of 0.62 and a lift of 5.54. Therefore, we recommend shop owners to place wheat flour on the main display close to items often purchased together, such as sweetened condensed milk, sugar, powdered margarine, and margarine. In addition, shop owners can also promote bundling cake boxes and cake mats.

Energy Efficiency is a business that is carried out with the aim of reducing the amount of energy needed, in using an equipment or even an energy-related system. In its development in the field of lighting, LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamps are now starting to be used as lighting lamps for homes, industries and factories. In Indonesia, the use of LED lamps in lighting is still rarely used, because the price of LED lamps is quite expensive when compared to ordinary lamps. With the saving of electric power through the use of LED lights, the problem of operational costs will be easy to overcome. Indeed, the price of this LED lamp is a little expensive, but with the research on the comparison of the use of this LED lamp with HPL-N type lamps, the industry will consider using this LED lamp with a generally accepted application method to reduce energy expenditure. The previous conditions for Jalan Dolok Merawan used HPLN 250 Watt lamps with a handlebar angle of 24,920 ornaments, the resulting light intensity was 2189 Candela, the intensity of the resulting lighting was 97.94 Lux and has now been changed to make it more optimal to use 120 Watt LED type lights, the height of the pole used is 4 meterss with an ornament handlebar angle of 24.920, light intensity of 1242 Candella, lighting intensity of 55.33 lux. The results of this illumination intensity are in accordance with the standard determined by BSN SNI regarding Collector road class 3-7 Lux. The results achieved after the process of modifying HPL-N lamps to LEDs are that they can reduce the use of electrical energy in the lighting system and achieve efficiency for electric power consumption so that they can provide added value to the company in reducing the company's operational costs.

Introduction. In occupational polyneuropathies, along with sensory and autonomic disorders, excessive sensory input can lead to the development of excitation foci in various parts of the central nervous system, clinical significance of which is currently insufficiently studied.
The aim of the study was the evaluation of the clinical effects of the transcranial magnetic stimulation in the dorsolateral zone of the prefrontal cortex in mine workers with occupational polyneuropathy.
Materials and methods. There were examined thirty six workers of coal mining enterprises of Kuzbass with a proven diagnosis of polyneuropathy of the upper extremities, the average age was 50.2±3.7 years, and the average work experience was 23.4±3.5 years. To confirm polyneuropathy, the parameters of sensory conduction along the nerves of the upper extremities were investigated using electroneuromyography, nerve conduction velocity along the median and ulnar nerves was determined. The assessment of autonomic rcontrol was carried out using spectral analysis of heart rate variability. The functional brain status was determined by an electroencephalogram.
Results. The patients complained of pain in the extremities, numbness and paresthesia. According to electroneuromyography, there was a decrease in the nerve conduction velocity along the somatic sensory nerves of the upper extremities, a reduction in the power of oscillations in all frequency ranges of the heart rate variability spectrum, which was more pronounced in the high frequency range. Transcranial magnetic stimulation of the prefrontal cortex zone of the right hemisphere was performed with a stimulus with a frequency of 1 Hz for 5 min, over a course of 5 procedures, after which a statistically significant increase in the average nerve conduction velocity along the somatic sensory nerves of the upper extremities, and a rise in the spectral parameters of the heart rate variability were observed. An increase in the alpha rhythm index at the electroencephalogram indicated an amplification of the integrative brain activity, which provided a wide range of regulatory processes. The patients noted a decrease in the intensity of pain, the severity of sensitive disorders, and improvement in general well-being.
Limitations. The study is limited to the number of mine workers with a proven diagnosis of upper extremity polyneuropathy, without cardiac arrhythmias, structural damage and metal implants in the brain.
Conclusion. Transcranial magnetic stimulation of the dorsolateral zone of the prefrontal cortex is effective in correcting sensory and autonomic disorders in occupationally caused polyneuropathy by activating suprasegmentary autonomic centers involved in systemic adaptation processes. It is promising to further expand the list of stimulation targets and create effective protocols for the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation.
