Authors: Aoun Georges , Srour Nour , El-Outa Abbass , Nasseh Ibrahim 
Published: September 2020

Background. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence and patterns of styloid process elongation in a general Lebanese population sample.
Methods. Digital panoramic radiographs of 489 Lebanese adults (218 males and 271 females, mean age of 47.56 ± 16.149) were included in this retrospective study. First, we screened for detection of elongated styloid process, then we analyzed these cases and classified the elongation types. Data obtained were transformed into SPSS v24 and descriptive and inferential analyses were done.
Results. In our sample, elongated styloid process was seen in 76 cases (15.5%) (45/271 women and 31/218 men). Despite no significant gender predisposition, females were slightly more affected than males (59.2% females to 40.8% males). As for the age, elongation was significantly more likely to be present at 45-64 years of age. The right side was slightly more affected than the left side (86.8% vs. 76.3% respectively), with type 1 elongation as the most common. Nevertheless, bilateral elongation was much more common than unilateral elongation (63.2%).
Interestingly, females were more likely to suffer from bilateral elongation (64.58%) compared to men (35.41%).
Conclusion. Elongated styloid process represents a common finding detected fortuitously on panoramic radiographs. Therefore, being a main feature in Eagle syndrome, dentists should be aware of this clinical entity and actively screen for it.

Published: September 2020

Background. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a commonly used minimally invasive method for the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer. In order to improve its diagnostic accuracy, rapid on-site cytologic evaluation (ROSE) is being utilized in some institutions. ROSE, performed by a cytopathologist in the examination room, allows the assessment of the adequacy of the collected samples, identifies malignant cells and sometimes establishes diagnosis on the spot, thus improving diagnostic sensitivity. As non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC) require not only pathological subtyping, but also molecular characterization, obtaining the adequate amount of tissue is crucial. Only a limited number of studies have analyzed the suitability of EBUS-TBNA samples for assessment of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) status.
Aim. We intended to examine the diagnostic yield of ROSE in NSCLC and the results and feasibility of molecular analysis performed on EBUS-TBNA small samples.
Methods. 100 patients with lung tumors and hilar and/or mediastinal lymphadenopathy on CT or PET/CT scans were retrospectively identified over a 3-year period, from a prospectively maintained EBUS-TBNA database. All examinations were accompanied by on-site cytological exam - ROSE, histopathological exam (HPE) and, in the case of NSCLC, molecular testing. After the sampling of the lymph nodes, specimens were Diff-Quik stained and a rapid preliminary diagnosis was established. Immunohistochemistry and mutational testing were performed using cell blocks.
Results. Adenocarcinoma was the most frequent diagnosis in both ROSE (34%) and histopathology (53%). Overall sensitivity and positive predictive value of ROSE in NSCLC, considering HPE the gold standard, were 92.18% and 93.65%, respectively, with a specificity and negative predictive value of 75% and 70.58%, respectively. All samples that were tested for EGFR mutation and ALK rearrangement were adequate for analysis. The adequacy ratio for PD-L1 was 91.66%; 37.5% of patients showed a high PD-L1 expression level, with a tumor proportion score TPS≥50%.
Conclusion. EBUS-TBNA is a valuable method for lung cancer diagnosis. ROSE proved to have a moderate prediction of the final diagnosis in NSCLC. Molecular analysis of EGFR, ALK and PD-L1 can be successfully accomplished on EBUS-TBNA small tissue samples.

Published: September 2020

Background: Immunization is a reliable evidence-based approach to eradicate deadly infectious diseases. National family health survey (NHFS4) data reveals that immunization after 1 year of age dropped in Kanyakumari district, Tamil Nadu, India. Methods: Our aim was to determine immunization status and reasons for partial or non-immunization of children aged 1 to 5 years in Kanyakumari district from April 2019 to March 2020. It’s a prospective and descriptive hospital-based study. Here 613 children were split-up in three categories based on ministry of health and family welfare (MOHFW) guidelines as fully, partially or unimmunized. The samples were analysed with IBM. SPSS statistics software 23.0 Version.Results: Of the 613 children 5 were excluded from the study due to contraindications to immunizations. Of the 608 children 529 (87%) were fully immunized, 79(13%) were partially immunized and none were unimmunized. Among partially immunized, 2 parents lacked information (2.5%), 26 parents lacked motivation (32.9%), 45 parents faced obstacles (57%) and 6 parents had other reasons (7.6%). 2 parents who lacked information were migrant laborers, illiterates and the children were home delivered. In the partial immunization, chi-square and regression analysis revealed that for female gender the p-value was 0.001, OR 2.084 with 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.347 to 3.226), for parental education the p-value was 0.0005, OR 1.561 with 95% CI (1.034 to 2.335) and for home delivery the p value was 0.0005, OR 1.564 with 95% CI (1.006 to 2.432). Conclusions: The study determines that factors associated with partial immunization are female children, illiterate/less educated parents and home delivery.

The Efficacy of Fish Oil in Preventing Coronary Heart Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Wu Gaohong , Geng Haifeng , Jiang Yue , Song Wei , Zhu Xueping , Zhu Xiaoli 
Published: September 2020

To evaluate the efficacy of fish oil for protection against coronary heart disease (CHD), we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the use of fish oil for protection against CHD. We retrieved relevant articles published from January 1966 to January 2020 by searching the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Web of Science databases. RCTs of fish oil in preventing CHD were selected. The study quality was evaluated using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool with RevMan 5.3 software. The first selection involved 350 citations. After screening and evaluation of suitability, 19 RCTs adjusted for clustering were included in the meta-analysis. All selected manuscripts considered that fish oil was effective in preventing CHD, secondary outcome measures included angina, sepsis and death. Compared with the control group, fish oil may confer significant protection against CHD (odds ratio = 0.84; 95% confidence interval: 0.72–0.98). There was no significant difference in the incidence of secondary outcomes between the observation group and the control group (P &gt; 0.05). The above results show that fish oil plays an important role in reducing CHD and cardiovascular events. However, because of the suboptimal quality of the studies included into the meta-analysis, these results do not justify adding fish oils systematically to the heavy pharmaceutical assortment already recommended in CHD patients.

Measurement Stand, Method and Results of Composite Electrotechnical Pressboard-Mineral Oil Electrical Measurements
Authors: Rogalski P. 
Published: September 2020

The paper presents a measuring stand designed and built for testing direct and alternating current properties of power transformers basic insulation component i.e. electrotechnical pressboard impregnated with transformer oil. Measurements of direct and alternating current parameters are performed using the frequency domain spectroscopy and polarization depolarization current methods.The measuring station includes a specially developed climatic chamber which is characterized by high accuracy of temperature stabilization and maintenance during several dozen hours of measurements. The uncertainty of temperature maintaining during several dozen hours of measurements does not exceed ± 0.01 °C. The computer software developed to control the station allows for remote measurements, changes in supply voltage and temperature settings and acquisition of the obtained results. A new type of measuring capacitor was developed and manufactured, the structure of which significantly reduces the chance of samples contamination during measurements. By increasing the accuracy of temperature stabilization during measurements, the resolution of measurement temperatures was increased, at which it is possible to perform measurements with the frequency domain spectroscopy and polarization depolarization current methods. This allowed to reduce the step of measurement temperature change and thus to increase the accuracy of determining the activation energy of the measured parameters.The article also contains basic information on the analysis of the direct and alternating current electrical parameters of the composite electrotechnical pressboard-mineral oil-water nanoparticles. The results of several direct and alternating current parameters measurements of a transformer oil impregnated pressboard sample with a moisture content of (5.2 ± 0.1) % by weight obtained by the use of a measuring stand are presented as examples.
Canine colostrum exosomes: Characterization and influence on the canine mesenchymal stem cell secretory profile and fibroblast anti-oxidative capacity.
Authors: Villatoro Antonio J , Martín-Astorga María del Carmen , Alcoholado Cristina , Becerra José 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Background :
Canine colostrum milk (CCM) is a specific secretion of the mammary gland that is fundamental for the survival of the newborn. CCM has many described components (immunoglobulins, proteins or fat), but its small vesicles, named exosomes, are largely unknown.

Results :
A characterization of CCM exosomes was performed. Exosomes were abundant in CCM and appeared with the characteristic cup-shaped morphology and well-defined round vesicles. The size distribution of exosomes was between 37 and 140 nm, and western blot analysis showed positive expression of specific exosomal markers. Proteomic analysis revealed a total of 826 proteins in exosome cargo. We also found that exosomes modified the proliferation and secretory profiles in canine mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow (cBM-MSCs) and adipose tissue (cAd-MSCs). Additionally, CCM exosomes demonstrated a potent antioxidant effect on canine fibroblasts in culture.

Conclusions :
Our findings highlight, for the first time, the abundant presence of exosomes in CCM and their ability to interact with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The addition of exosomes to two types of MSCs in culture resulted in specific secretory profiles with functions related to angiogenesis, migration and chemotaxis of immune cells. In particular, the cAd-MSCs secretory profile showed higher potential in adipose tissue development and neurogenesis, while cBM-MSC production was associated with immunity, cell mobilization and haematopoiesis. Finally, exosomes also presented antioxidant capacity on fibroblasts against reactive oxygen species activity within the cell, demonstrating their fundamental role in the development and maturation of dogs in the early stages of their life.
Detection of gray matter microstructural changes in Alzheimer’s disease continuum using fiber orientation

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Background This study aimed to investigate feasible gray matter microstructural biomarkers with high sensitivity for early Alzheimer’s disease (AD) detection. We propose a diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) measure, “radiality”, as an early AD biomarker. It is the dot product of the normal vector of the cortical surface and primary diffusion direction, which reflects the fiber orientation within the cortical column. Methods We analyzed neuroimages from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database, including images from 78 cognitively normal (CN), 50 early mild cognitive impairment (EMCI), 34 late mild cognitive impairment (LMCI), and 39 AD patients. We then evaluated the cortical thickness (CTh), mean diffusivity (MD), which are conventional AD magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers, and the amount of accumulated amyloid and tau using positron emission tomography (PET). Radiality was projected on the gray matter surface to compare and validate the changes with different stages alongside other neuroimage biomarkers.Results The results revealed decreased radiality primarily in the entorhinal, insula, frontal, and temporal cortex with further progression of disease. In particular, radiality could delineate the difference between the CN and EMCI groups, while the other biomarkers could not. We examined the relationship between radiality and other biomarkers to validate its pathological evidence in AD. Overall, radiality showed a high association with conventional biomarkers. Additional ROI analysis revealed the dynamics of AD-related changes as stages onward.Conclusion Radiality in cortical gray matter showed AD-specific changes and relevance with other conventional AD biomarkers with high sensitivity. Moreover, radiality could identify the group differences seen in EMCI, representative of changes in early AD, which supports its superiority in early diagnosis compared to that possible with conventional biomarkers. We provide evidence of structural changes with cognitive impairment and suggest radiality as a sensitive biomarker for identifying early AD.
