Published: December 2024

Background and Aim:
Aortic stenosis in infants demands a safe and durable solution. Ross-Konno procedure offers a promising alternative. The aim of this research was to describe the results following Ross-Konno procedure conducted on infants.

Methods:
This study retrospectively analyzed outcomes of Ross-Konno in 14 infants younger than 1year, between December 2009 and July 2023. Patients were followed up to a median of 2.07 years (IQR: 0.8- 4.1). Primary outcomes measured included survival rates, morbidity, reintervention, mid-term functional and echocardiographic assessments.

Results:
Median age at operation was 98 days (IQR: 60-145), median weight was 5 kg (IQR: 4.3-6). Eleven patients (78%) had undergone prior procedures, balloon valvuloplasty in (64%). Median CPB time was 189 minutes (IQR: 180-198), median aortic cross-clamp time was 142 minutes (IQR: 129-157). Six patients required concomitant mitral valve surgery or aortic arch reconstruction. There was one early death, a neonate weighing 2.8 kg; one late death at 4 years of age. Freedom from reoperation on autograft was 100% at 1 year, 93% at 5 years. One aortic root replacement was performed 4 years after Ross-Konno in infancy. Three pulmonary conduits required reintervention (21%). Neoaortic Z-scores remained consistent from 4 weeks after procedure to the most recent follow-up. Two patients needed permanent pacemaker due to complete heart block.

Conclusions:
Ross-Konno procedure serves as viable primary solution for aortic stenosis in infants, offering durable and high-quality outcomes. With precise surgical technique, it effectively establishes robust LVOT and reduces likelihood of future reinterventions. Despite potential for significant complications, this procedure provides excellent survival rates, stable neoaortic function, and preserved ventricular performance.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
With the advent of generative AI models such as ChatGPT, a plethora of virtual humans have surfaced as spokespersons for live broadcasts. Capturing the attention of the younger demographic has become a critical aspect of the attention economy, necessitating the development of models for attractive virtual human facial features. This study utilizes representative virtual human samples for facial feature combinations and trains the LoRa model using attention preference data gathered from eye movement experiments. The facial features of the characters generated by the trained model align with the most attention-grabbing sample images from the experimental results, demonstrating a promising attempt to enhance the attractiveness of virtual humans.
3D Internet of Things Virtual Art Animation Lab Design
Authors: Chen Jianjun 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Virtual laboratory teaching based on information technology provides a viable solution to the current problems of insufficient experimental equipment and places, as well as the inability to meet the personalized needs of students’ experiments. This paper uses the VR-Platform tool to create a virtual reality environment, and the Qt software toolset is chosen as the platform for the virtual laboratory art animation system. The interaction method’s overall design framework is used to design the human skeleton for character bone animation, resulting in a highly anthropomorphic character animation model. Study joint motion and skeleton kinematics to design interactive actions and control animation speed. Utilize matrix and quaternion mixing techniques to carry out spatial transformation and complete the interaction between art animation and virtual scenes. Utilizing the Internet of Things technology, design the remote server, network data transmission, and mobile intelligent terminal of the virtual art animation laboratory. Finally, the virtual art animation laboratory system’s operation module is developed, tested, and analyzed in terms of system performance and impact on experience. The test results show that the system’s total reading time is about 2.65% of the total rendering time, which is good real-time performance. Meanwhile, the system’s scores in the six evaluation dimensions are all greater than 4.0, indicating a good practical teaching effect. Therefore, it is of enormous significance to construct a virtual art animation laboratory to improve the practical skills of current art animation students.

Authors: Das Indranil , Khetan Dheeraj , Verma Anupam , Priyadarshi Atul , Chaudhary Rajendra K. 
Published: December 2024

Background & objectives
Red cell concentrates (RCCs) must comply with applicable quality control (QC) standards to achieve the desired therapeutic effect in the recipient. In this study, we assessed the effect of change in the component preparation process on the quality of RCCs and their compliance with different QC standards.

Methods
A retrospective analysis of data for QC testing of RCCs over a period of 10 years, (from 2009 to 2019), was undertaken. QC testing parameters [volume, haematocrit (Hct), haemoglobin (Hb) content, white blood cell (WBC) content and percentage (%) haemolysis] were used to assess compliance with three national and three international QC standards. Linear regression analysis was done to assess the influence of donor variables.

Results
Data from 5,218 RCC units was included in the analysis. A majority (>50%) of RCCs prepared did not meet the three national QC standards either for volume or for Hct. The criteria for volume, Hct and Hb content, as defined in different international standards, were fulfilled by a majority (>75%) of RCCs evaluated. RCCs prepared by the buffy coat method had overall better compliance with QC standards compared to the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) method. The method of component preparation was found to influence Hb content, WBC content and percentage haemolysis. Male gender was associated with better Hb content.

Interpretation & conclusions
RCC prepared at our centre was found to have better compliance with international QC criteria compared to national standards. There is a need to reconsider the current national QC criteria for red cells with due consideration to the volume of whole blood collected and the method used for RCC preparation.
Impact of platelet transfusion on outcome, clot dynamics, and platelet function in thrombocytopenic trauma patients
Authors: Mukhopadhyay Tapasyapreeti , Subramanian Arulselvi , Albert Venencia , Kumar Anand , Pandey Shivam , Pati Haraprasad 
Published: December 2024

Objectives:
Of all trauma patients, 25% require a blood transfusion, of which 2–3% receive a massive transfusion. In severely injured bleeding trauma patients, early platelet administration has been shown to improve hemostasis and decrease mortality. The aim was to compare the changes after platelet transfusion on prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), platelet function, and clot dynamics in thrombocytopenic trauma patients and to identify independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality.

Materials and Methods:
Thrombocytopenic trauma patients who received platelets either with/without receipt of other blood components over two years were included in this prospective study. The pre-and post-transfusion platelet count, coagulation profile, clot dynamic analysis assessed by thromboelastography, and platelet function analysis assessed by flow cytometry were compared. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality.

Statistical analysis:
Data is summarized as mean±S.D or median (minima-maxima) for continuous variables and for categorical variables data is presented as frequency and percentages.

Results:
Of the 45 thrombocytopenic trauma patients included in the study, 23 (51.1%) were refractory to platelet transfusion and 14 (31.1%) died. Significant differences were seen in alpha angle (P = 0.02) and maximum amplitude (P = 0.01), number of patients with coagulopathy (P = 0.007), percentage of patients with increased k-time (P = 0.03), and decreased alpha angle (P = 0.001) pre- and post-transfusion. The non-survivors had significantly lower post-transfusion PC (P < 0.001), increased pre- and post-transfusion PT (P = 0.007 and P = 0.01, respectively), and increased pre-and post-transfusion aPTT (P = 0.009 and P = 0.002, respectively). No significant differences were observed based on the thrombolelastography and platelet function parameters between survivors and non-survivors. Pre-transfusion aPTT and coagulopathy post-transfusion were independently associated with mortality (odds ratio [OR]: 9.4; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.6–54.3; P = 0.01 and OR: 12.6; 95% CI: 1.55–102.9; P = 0.01, respectively).

Conclusions:
Prothrombin time coagulopathy status, clot kinetics, and clot strength improved after platelet transfusion. Pre-transfusion aPTT and coagulopathy post-transfusion are independent risk factors for death in thrombocytopenic trauma patients. The clinical significance of platelet function analysis and clot dynamics in thrombocytopenic trauma patients undergoing transfusion therapy is yet to be ascertained.

Published: December 2024

Будучи частью экономической системы, кредит отражает проблемы общественного развития, которые невозможно рассматривать изолированно от состояния экономики в целом. Но может ли кредит стать причиной экономических кризисов? В принципе кредит — благо или зло? И каково его влияние на каждого и экономику в целом? В исследовании показано, что кредит способен оказывать существенное влияние на экономический процесс. Выделены возможности российской экономики и определены угрозы, противостоящие данным возможностям. Приведены аргументы, доказывающие функциональную ограниченность существующей в стране банковской кредитной системы. Проанализированы позитивные и негативные стороны потребительского кредитования. Предложены меры, способные минимизировать кредитную зависимость россиян.
Being a part of the economic system, the credit reflects the problems of social development, which cannot be considered isolated from the state of the economy as a whole. But can the credit be the cause of the economic crises? Are loans — good or evil as a matter of fact? And what is their impact on everyone and the economy as a whole? It is shown that the credit due to its objective characteristics can have a significant impact on the economic process. The possibilities of the Russian economy in modern conditions are marked, and the threats that confront these possibilities are identified. The arguments which prove the functional limits of the existing country’s banking credit system are given. Positive and negative aspects of consumer lending are analyzed. Measures to minimize the inherent destructive credit quality and reduce loan dependence are proposed.

К ВОПРОСУ О СООТНОШЕНИИ ПОНЯТИЙ ГРАЖДАНСКО-ПРАВОВОЙ ОТВЕТСТВЕННОСТИ И НАКАЗАНИЯ
Authors: Цветков С.Б. 
Published: December 2024

Представлен авторский подход к предпринятым в литературе попыткам охарактеризовать правовую природу ответственности за нарушение обязательств посредством умаления ее восстановительной функции и утверждения наличия карательной функции. Формулируются выводы: основной функцией названного вида юридической ответственности является восстановительная; категории «ответственность за нарушение обязательств» и «наказание» в цивилистическом аспекте, как правило, нетождественны; гражданско-правовую ответственность можно рассматривать в качестве наказания, только когда отрицательные последствия для должника превышают те выгоды, которые он получил вследствие нарушения обязательства; ее карательную функцию точнее определить как предупредительно-штрафную.
The article presents the author’s approach to the attempts to characterize the legal nature of liability for breach of obligations by belittling its regenerative functions and statement of the punitive function. The following conclusions have been drawn: the main function of the named type of legal responsibility is restorative; the categories of «liability for breach of obligations» and «punishment» in the civil law aspect, as a rule, are not identical; civil liability can be regarded as a punishment only when the negative consequences for the debtor exceed the benefits that he received as a result of the breach; punitive function more accurately defined as a warning-penalty.

В последнее время многие компании составляют значительное количество различных отчетов, что приводит не только к росту предоставляемой информации, но и зачастую к ее разрозненности. В связи с этим была предложена идея создания интегрированной отчетности. Данный вид отчетности позволит, с одной стороны, снизить объем предоставляемой информации, а с другой — отразить взаимосвязь финансовых и нефинансовых результатов деятельности компании со стратегическими целями. В данной статье рассматриваются вопросы создания интегрированной управленческой отчетности с учетом специфики электросетевой компании.
Recently, many companies make up a significant number of different reports, which leads not only to the growth of information provided, but often to its fragmentation. In this regard, the idea of creating integrated reporting was proposed. This type of reporting will allow, on the one hand, reducing the amount of information provided, and on the other hand, reflecting the relationship between financial and non-financial performance of the company with strategic objectives. This article discusses development of the integrated management reporting, taking into account the specifics of the electric grid company.

В статье отношения, возникающие при применении вспомогательных репродуктивных технологий, рассматриваются как единый сложный комплекс общественных отношений, проводятся классификации этих отношений как по известным отечественной доктрине основаниям, так и по специальным, применимым только к данным отношениям. В результате таких классификаций предлагается различать отношения, организующие применение вспомогательных репродуктивных технологий, собственно отношения вспомогательных репродуктивных технологий и отношения, завершающие программу вспомогательных репродуктивных технологий. В статье поддерживается предложение о принятии специального нормативно-правового акта о применении вспомогательных репродуктивных технологий, в предмет регулирования которого должны войти только специфичные общественные отношения.
The article examines the relations that arise during application of the assisted reproductive technologies. They are considered as an integrated complex of social relations. Some classifications of such relations are proposed based on the grounds known to the Russian domestic doctrine, as well as on the special grounds that can be applied to these specific relations only. It is suggested to distinguish between relations arranging ART application, ART relations as such and relations finishing ART programs. The author supports the idea of adoption of a special statutory instrument concerning ART application, which subject of regulation shall include only specific social relations.

Данная работа исследует труды Ф. В. Тарановского, посвященные развитию западноевропейского права. Методы, использованные ученым, можно использовать и в современных реалиях. Как сторонник социологического позитивизма, Тарановский уделял внимание развитию правовых институтов с нескольких сторон: со стороны деятельности государства, со стороны жизни общества; пытался не только проанализировать правовые источники, но и объяснить, почему они появились. Социологический позитивизм не теряет востребованности и в наше время, ведь такое многообразие подходов в сочетании со сравнительно-историческим методом позволяет прогнозировать будущий правовой климат.
This paper examines the works of F.V. Taranovskiy dedicated to the development of the Western European law. The methods used by the scientist can also be used in modern realities. As a supporter of sociological positivism, Taranovskiy paid attention to the development of legal institutions from several points of view: from the side of the state, from the side of society; he tried not only to analyze legal sources but also to explain why they appeared. Such a variety of approaches combined with a comparative historical method makes it possible to predict the future legal climate.
