Authors: Pérez Lisboa Sandra Ruperta 
Published: December 2019

Recibido 02 de junio de 2013 • Corregido 27 de setiembre de 2013 • Aceptado 01 de octubre de 2013Las competencias lingüísticas de docentes de párvulos son un referente continuo en el desarrollo del lenguaje de niñas y niños. Esto, porque son un modelo, debido a que utilizan constantemente la comunicación oral para trabajar, jugar o dar instrucciones. En relación con esta premisa, esta investigación tiene por objetivo analizar las competencias lingüísticas de un grupo de educadoras de párvulos del nivel transición menor. Con base en la observación de docentes que trabajan en la Junta Nacional de Jardines Infantiles –de la zona poniente de la provincia de Santiago–, se realizó un estudio relativo al discurso conversacional de las profesionales. Se plantea que la posesión de mayores competencias lingüísticas, por parte de educadores, favorece el desarrollo del lenguaje oral de los párvulos.

Background and Aims: The prevalence of clarithromycin resistant bacteria is increasing, and the effectiveness of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) triple therapy is gradually decreasing in Japan. Vonoprazan, a potassiumcompetitive acid blocker, has been reported for its effectiveness in eradicating H. pylori. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of tailored vonoprazan-based triple therapy in patients with H. pylori. This study is the first to compare the efficacy of vonoprazan-based tailored triple therapy to that of vonoprazan-based conventional therapy.
Method: This retrospective cohort study evaluated the treatment efficacy in 920 patients. Of these, 541 received conventional and 379 received tailored therapy. Successful eradication was confirmed by a negative 13C-urea breath test 6–8 weeks following completion of H. pylori eradication therapy, and the data were evaluated using the Chi-square test, or Fisher’s exact test, as appropriate.
Results: The eradication rate of tailored therapy was 90% and 96.3% by intent-to-treat analysis and per protocol analysis, respectively, which was significantly higher than the 85% and 90.2% found for conventional therapy (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001, respectively). Amoxicillin- or clarithromycin-resistant bacteria did not affect treatment outcomes. By univariate and multivariate analysis, both amoxicillin- and clarithromycin-resistant bacteria and conventional therapy were detected as risk factors for eradication failure (odds ratio = 6.267, 95% CI [1.056–119.924], p < 0.05, and odd ratio =3.113, 95% confidence interval [1.688–6.160], p < 0.001, by multivariate analysis).
Conclusion: Vonoprazan-based triple therapy could be a more effective treatment for H. pylori infection than conventional therapy when combined with a therapy regimen tailored according to bacterial antibiotic susceptibility.
Mast Cells in Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Systematic Review
Authors: Krammer Luisa , Sowa Anna Sergeevna , Lorentz Axel 
Published: December 2019

Background and Aims: As mast cells (MC) serve as a link between mucosal immune activity and the nervous system, it is likely they also play a role in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This connection might be an important factor in the development of IBS-related symptoms.
Method: This overview comprises 36 case-control studies published from 2000 to 2018 that investigated MC in bowel biopsies of IBS patients and controls. The studies were selected from PubMed, EMBASE, Central, SemanticScholar by an electronic search, performed using RISMed R package.
Results: Significantly increased mucosal MC counts/or density in IBS patients compared to controls was observed in 30 studies. Five studies reported no differences and only one of the studies found a decreased amount of MC in an IBS patient. Furthermore, 15 studies made a statement regarding the correlation between the amount of MC and IBS associated symptoms. A significant positive correlation between MC count and IBS-associated symptoms was found in six investigations. A negative correlation was not reported.
Conclusion: The results support the idea that MC are involved in IBS pathophysiology as key players in the interplay between psychological factors and the frequency and severity of IBS symptoms.

Published: December 2019

Background and Aims: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has become a standard treatment for early gastric neoplasia. However, as the upper and middle body of the greater curvature has a rich vasculature and submucosal fibrosis, ESD of neoplasia in these locations requires a specific strategy. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of the J-shaped superficial cutting and splashed submucosal dissection (JSCS) technique for neoplasia of the greater curvature by comparing ESD using JSCS with conventional ESD.
Methods: Twenty-two patients who underwent ESD for gastric neoplasia affecting the upper and middle body of the greater curvature were divided into two groups for retrospective analysis. Nine patients underwent conventional ESD (c-Group), while 13 underwent ESD with JSCS (j-Group). Primary outcome was the en bloc resection rate. Secondary outcomes included complete resection (R0) rate, procedure time, perforation rate, total bleeding time, and the total number of massive bleeding events and of hemostatic forceps times applied during ESD. Results: There were no significant differences between both groups (c-Group vs j-Group) in en bloc resection rate, or R0 resection rate. Compared with the c-Group, the j-Group tended to have a decreased mean procedure time (mean 133 minutes vs 74 minutes, p=0.11) and perforation rate (11% vs 0%, p=0.41). Compared with the c-Group, the j-Group had significantly fewer bleeding incidents (13.4 times vs 6.6 times, p=0.0095), shorter total bleeding time (17.6 min vs 7.4 min, p=0.036), and fewer usages of hemostatic forceps (6.3 times vs 2.4 times, p=0.026) during ESD.
Conclusion: Endoscopic submucosal dissection with JSCS is superior to conventional ESD, as it reduces intraprocedural bleeding. This technique has the potential to become the standard strategy for neoplasia affecting the upper and middle body of the greater curvature.

Published: December 2019

Aims: In the current study we aimed to explore the prevalence of gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations in hereditary transthyretin amyloid (hATTR) amyloidosis associated with Glu89Gln mutation.
Methods: We recruited 78 patients with hATTR amyloidosis associated with Glu89Gln mutation. The diagnosis of hATTR was defined by a documented transthyretin mutation through DNA analysis. Symptoms were recorded as present or absent at the time of enrollment into the study. The gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms checklist included the following items: early satiety, nausea, vomiting, constipation, alternating diarrhea/ constipation, diarrhea, fecal incontinence and unintentional weight loss.
Results: Forty-two patients (53.8%) reported at least one GI symptom or sign. Diarrhea was the most frequently reported (30.8%), followed by unintentional weight loss (28.2%) and nausea (21.8%). Fecal incontinence (3.8%) was the least common one. No significant gender related difference in overall GI symptom prevalence was found (females 52.16%, males 55%, p = 0.834). Type of disease onset was not related to GI prevalence (earlyonset 50%, late-onset 55.6%, p=0.650). After dividing the patients into groups with a disease duration of <5 years, 5–10 years and >10 years, respectively, the prevalence of GI symptoms was found to be significantly higher in later stages (26.3% vs. 55.0% vs. 78.9%, p = 0.005; OR 2.450, 95% CI 1.084-5.538). Gastrointestinal manifestations had no impact on survival (p=0.193).
Conclusions: Gastrointestinal manifestations are very common in hATTR patients with Glu89Gln mutation and increase with disease duration. They are not associated with gender and onset of the disease and have no impact on patient survival. These results highlight the importance of a thorough evaluation of the GI function in patients with ATTR amyloidosis and should stimulate further studies on the phenotypic differences related to genotype and geographic origin.
A set of red deer canine imitations from the Iron Age necropolis at Valea Stânii (Argeş County, Romania)

Published: December 2019

AbstractRed deer canine ornaments have been known since the Upper Paleolithic as symbolic markers of the status of the possessor. A recent discovery made at the Iron Age cremation necropolis of Valea Stânii (Romania) probably provides the latest prehistoric occurence of this type of personal ornament. This find was part of the grave goods in the burial in barrow no. 4, a double grave (an adult woman and a subadult individual of unidentified sex). Among the cremated bones of the subadult individual were 16 personal adornments made of red deer antler, imitating red deer canines. Most likely, the ornaments were sewn on the funeral clothes. Such imitations of red deer canines indicate the transmission of certain cultural traditions, perhaps related to prestige and representation, over the millennia until the end of the Iron Age in Eastern Europe.

Authors: Azaeva N R 
Published: December 2019

Aim. To study the effect of a fixed combination of perindopril arginine (10 mg) + indapamide (2.5 mg) + amlodipine (5 mg) on the daily profile of blood pressure and the structural and functional state of the heart in patients with hypertension grade 3.
Methods. 80 patients with hypertension receiving various variants of treatment [50 patients (experimental group) receiving fixed combination of perindopril arginine (10 mg) + indapamide (2.5 mg) + amlodipine (5 mg) and 30 patients (control group) receiving combination of lisinopril with hydrochlorothiazide (10/12.520/25 mg) and amlodipine (5 mg)] underwent electrocardiography, Doppler echocardiography, daily monitoring of blood pressure at there points: at the beginning, after 2 weeks and 6 months of the treatment. Statistical significance of the indicators was determined by Students t-test. To compare the double changes, 2 was used. Statistical difference between the groups was considered significant if p 0.05.
Results. In 86% of patients from the experimental group, a decrease in systolic blood pressure by 20 mm Hg or more and/or diastolic blood pressure by 10 mm Hg was noted, which persisted for 6 months. After 6 months of treatment, according to daily monitoring of arterial pressure, the average daily systolic and diastolic blood pressure significantly decreased by 15.9 and 18.6% (р 0.001), and the values of variability of average systolic and average diastolic pressure at night and daytime by 4 and 4.2%, respectively (р 0.001). A decrease in the morning rise rate of systolic and diastolic blood pressure was also achieved (р 0.001). During treatment, a number of patients with a daily curve of the dipper type increased due to a decrease in non-dippers and night pickers (р 0.001).
Conclusion. Positive antihypertensive result after treatment with a combination of perindopril arqinine + indapamide + amlodipin was achieved in the early stages of treatment and was observed as a long-term stable hypotensive effect; a number of patients with normal daily rhythm of blood pressure increased, decrease of the severity of hypertrophy and size of the left ventricle was observed and its diastolic function became normal.

Consumo, estética, técnica e religião em Cloaca, de Wim Delvoye
Authors: Ferraz Vidal Junior Icaro 
Published: December 2019

Cloaca (2000-2010), de Wim Delvoye, consiste em um conjunto de máquinas desenvolvidas para produzir “merda real industrializada” em museus e galerias de arte. Após descrição sumária da série, desdobramos nossa análise em três eixos: o primeiro baseado na articulação psicanalítica entre merda e dinheiro; o segundo na diferenciação formulada geneticamente por Gilbert Simondon (1989) entre estética, técnica e religião; e o terceiro no conceito de máquina, formulado por Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari (1972). Por fim, comparamos Cloaca e Anal Kisses (2011), projeto do mesmo artista, e buscamos identificar alguns vetores culturais que incidiram na recepção desigual dos dois projetos.

Practicing sports, as well as physical activity in general, contributes to a healthy lifestyle, helps to prevent numerous chronic diseases, and plays a therapeutic role in addressing a number of cognitive and psychological disorders (such as depression, distorted body image and self-perception, low self-esteem). As regards students, freshmen with higher physical capabilities can better adapt to new college environment, which in turn influences their well-being, psychological state and ability to study. The aim of our study was to detect the level of emotional burnout and individual psychological characteristics of the university students, engaged in amateur sports. It was shown that the group of amateur sportsmen demonstrated higher level of arousal and mobility of neural processes, and lower level of neuroticism, lower level of neurotization, anxiety, psychic tension and depression. This allows us to conclude that the type of nervous system may define the disposition towards the physical activity, and the strength of nervous system determines the ability to achieve success in sports. Our data indicate that practicing sports prevents development of burnout, reduces the negative impact of daily emotional stress, and provides a socially acceptable way to express aggression.

Authors: Yildiz Vahit Aga , Kilic Durmus 
Published: December 2019

In this study, the aim was to determine the motivation levels of primary school fourth grade students with regard to their homework, and whether their motivations differ in terms of some variables. The sample used in the study, conducted using a survey method, consists of 256 students studying in schools in the province of Erzurum of the Republic of Turkey. The data of the study were collected using a â€˜Homework Motivation Scaleâ€™. Data were analysed using descriptive statistical techniques, a t-test and a one-way analysis of variance test. It was seen that the internal and external motivations of the students differed with regard to intrinsic motivation. In addition, it was seen that students' autonomous motivations differed with regard to those who have someone who helps them with homework. Students' intrinsic motivation is higher than their external motivation. It is thought that this will contribute to students completing their homework successfully.
