Published: November 2020

Heavy metals are known to be toxic, even at low content (ppm), for living organisms[1,2]. The presence of heavy metals and other pollutants in water continues to be a major concern and the removal of such contaminants is considered as an important solution for environmental remediation[3,4]. In this paper, we study the ability adsorption of Pb2+ and Cd2+ heavy ionic metal on silica nanomaterials which was extracted and purified from Vietnamese rice husk. The structure of the materials was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and FT-IR spectroscopy. By Adsorption Atomic Spectroscopy (AAS) analysis, the results have demonstrated the time taken for attaining equilibrium adsorption is about 1.5 hours for both cases, and the adsorption capacity of Pb2+ and Cd2+ on silica are 21 and 24 mg/L, respectively.
DAGESTAN. MOUNTAIN-VALLEY HORTICULTURE:
DEFINING AGRICULTURE, HORTICULTURE AND GARDENING
Authors: Magomedkhanov Magomedkhan М. , Chenciner Robert , Chenciner Marian , Musaeva Maysarat K. , Garunova Saida M. 
Published: November 2020

The article is devoted to the historical and ethnographic description of mountain gardening in Dagestan. A brief overview of the definitions of agriculture, horticulture and gardening is given. The importance of avoiding confusion between these basically close and partly identical terms in anthropological and ethnographic studies is illustrated in the case of mountain-valley horticulture. This approach examines a) the symbiosis of the economic and cultural traditions of the region; b) components of ethno-economics and ethno-ecology; c) technological modernization of the agricultural industry; d) an indicator of the resource potential of sustainable development of mountainous areas, the population of which retains traditional economic specialization; e) economic integration of mountainous territories into the region, the country, and the formation of interregional ties that give stability to the ethnic economy; f) criteria for the appropriate preservation of traditional ethno-culture.
The multiethnic composition of the population of the Russian Federation and the different levels of socio-economic development of its regions, highlight problems not only in the Caucasus but in all regions of the country. Many mistakenly see sustainable development in the recreational potential of the territory and the use of ethnic originality as a "brand" without considering potential, often negative consequences. In this regard, social problems are identified associated with the need to preserve the historical, cultural and natural heritage, traditional life support systems, and economic specialization. Craft centres that preserve the tradition of Russian "brands" are compared to authentic regional products. Since the 1990s mountain-valley gardening in Dagestan is in a state of stagnation due to socio-political, legal (land tenure and land use), and demographic (depopulation of mountainous territories) factors.

<img src=” https://s3.amazonaws.com/production.scholastica/article/17956/medium/prnano_562020_ga.jpg?1605542414”> Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth of cells. These cells in-vade organs and tissues by extension or direct dissemination and can spread to other regions of the body. Nanomedicine offers many possibilities to prevent the spread of cancer tissue and help cure the disease. In this work, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) were used to encapsulate perillyl alcohol (PA), a volatile monoterpene with proven anticancer activity. Encapsulation of PA into SLN (SLN-PA) is expected to promote controlled release, increase PA bioavailability, and impair the volatility of the monoterpene. SLN-PA prepared by high-shear homogenization showed average particle diameter around 254 nm, polydispersity index ~ 0.35, zeta potential ~ -14.7 mV, and encapsulation efficiency 84.6%. Scanning electron microscope analysis revealed a decrease in crystallinity, suggesting the encapsulation of PA in the SLN, confirming the spherical shape and the loading of the monoterpene in the SLN. In vitro cytotoxicity assays against murine fibroblasts (L929) showed that SLN-PA in both treated doses did not induce any cytotoxicity on non-tumoral cells. In vivo antitumor effect of the SLN-PA was evaluated in sarcoma 180-transplanted mice. The in vivo results demonstrated a significant tumor inhibition rate of 51.76 and 54.49% via intraperitoneal application of SLN-PA at doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg/day (p < 0.05), respective when compared to the nega-tive control (dimethyl sulfoxide). Adverse side effects of SLN-PA were not noticed in the liver, the kidney, or spleen tissue. The developed SLN-PA can be considered as a safe approach for site-specific antitumor effect in vivo, reinterpreting new nanoparticles-based cancer therapy.

Authors: Saber Sadia , Alam Md Tarek , Yasmin Nazi , Hossain Mohammad Monwer , Alam Rafi Faria 
Published: November 2020

Background: Enteric fever otherwise called Typhoid fever is a systemic disease caused by Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi, having reservoir in contaminated water and food. It affects considerable number of populations of the world but regions of South Asia are most commonly affected.
Aims and Objective: The objective of this study to find the prevalence of Typhoid fever with respect to age, gender, marital status, occupation, seasonal variation, treatment of drinking domestic water source, and clinical features.
Methodology: This is a cross- sectional observational study conducted at Bangladesh Medical College Hospital (BMCH), Dhanmondi, Dhaka from January to December 2019. Those presenting both outpatient departments or admitted to the inpatient units with complains of fever and abdominal pain underwent blood culture for the diagnosis of Typhoid fever. Patients with informed consent and positive blood culture report (including both Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi) were included in the study.
Results: Total 1375 tests were performed, out of which 407 came out to be positive blood culture report (including both Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi). Out of these tests 31.65% were males and 27.35% were females. Highest occurrence of typhoid fever was observed among males of age group 18 – 45 years and least with patients between age group above 75 years. As for the influence of occupation, male civil servants recorded the highest occurrence in the hospitals while artisans recorded the least. The influence of marital status revealed the highest occurrence in the single males with the married females had the least. In relation to months the prevalence was the highest in the month of July - September (11.42%). Water quality, vaccination and season have great impact on the burden of typhoid fever in population. Fever, diarrhea and abdominal pain are the major symptoms associated with typhoid fever.
Conclusion: Socio-demographic factors such as age, gender, marital status, and seasonal variation, treatment of drinking water supply, occupation and presenting complaints influenced the distribution pattern of typhoid fever among the population in BMCH, Dhanmondi, Dhaka.

Authors: Feroz Salahuddin , Md Salahuddin Abu Zafor , Russel Md Al Rizwan , Islam Rafi Nazrul , Mozaffor Miliva , Selim Md Shahidul Islam 
Published: November 2020

Background: Serum lipoprotein(a) and Apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio are new, independent cardiovascular risk factors in patients on dialysis. Conversely, the choice of dialysis procedure influences the uremic dyslipidemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.
Objective: To compare lipoprotein(a) levels and apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio in patients of chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 undergoing hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Department of Nephrology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh, from September 2016 to March 2018. A total of 55 CKD stage 5 patients were included in the study – 31 in hemodialysis (HD) (group A) and 24 in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) (group B). Group A patients were on low flux dialysis with bicarbonate dialysate 4 hours twice weekly dialysis with unfractionated heparin as anti-coagulant with a dialysis adequacy (Kt/V) >1.2. Group B patients were on 3 exchanges over 24 hours with 2 litres of 1.5% glucose fluid with a weekly measured Kt/V >1.7. Serum levels of Lipoprotein(a), Apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio were measured in both groups by using the standard laboratory technique.
Results: In group A, most of the patients were in 31-50 years age group (45.1%), while in group B, majority belonged to >50 years age group (54.16%). Patients’ gender showed a male predominance in both groups, i.e. 54.83% and 70.83% respectively. Most of the patients were from urban areas, i.e. 87.1% and 70.8% group A and B respectively. Dialysis adequacy (Kt/V) was found 1.46 for HD patients (group A) and 1.81 for CAPD patients (group B). Dyslipidemia was evident more in CAPD patients than HD patients, as per raised serum Lipoprotein(a) level (83.3% vs 74.1%) and raised Apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio (100% vs. 77.4%). Moreover, comparing with HD patients, CAPD patients showed increased level of serum Lipoprotein(a) (41.4±23.5 mg/dl vs 37.4±25.3 mg/dl; p>0.05) and Apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio (1.59±0.24 vs 1.04±0.22; p<0.001).
Conclusion: The maintenance CAPD treatment is associated with more pronounced alterations of the lipoproteins and lipid metabolism than those observed during HD treatment. Besides, serum lipoprotein(a) level and apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio were found simple, accessible and effective markers of dyslipidemia in both groups.

Changing scenario of superficial fungal infection: Emerging resistance, recurrence and remedy in Bangladesh
Authors: Ahsan Mohammad Kamrul , Islam Mir Nazrul 
Published: November 2020

Superficial fungal infections (dermatophytes) affecting skin, nail and hair are the most common infective dermatosis seen in dermatology outpatient clinics. There is a rising prevalence of dermatophytosis, especially in tropical countries like Bangladesh, with a concomitant increase in the number of difficult to treat cases. The reason for this phenomenon is not yet clear, but may be related to inadequate treatment regimen or discontinuation of medication, difficulties in eliminating predisposing factors and sources of re-infection. The pathogenesis and severity of fungal infection depend on various immunological and nonimmunological factors. The rampant use of antifungal therapy in immunocompromised individuals marked the onset of antifungal drug resistance. Fungal resistance can be microbiological or clinical. Genetic alterations in the fungi cause microbiological resistance. Clinical resistance is due to host or drug related factors. All these factors may cause fungal resistance individually or in tandem. Appropriate drug dosing along with antifungal drug susceptibility testing, especially for the dermatophytes isolated from chronic, recurrent cases or those with atypical presentation should be encouraged. Other ways to avoid resistance is the use of combination antifungal therapy. Combination therapy offers advantages in increased synergistic action with enhanced spectrum activity. Finally, newer insights into molecular mechanisms of drug resistance will help in the development of appropriate antifungal therapy. Till then experience based treatment of dermatophytosis is more effective than the standard guideline.

Published: November 2020

One of the leading cause of hyponatremia is syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). Various etiologies of hyponatraemia have been observed till today but its association with Covid leading to SIADH is rare. Therefore, we present a case where SIADH was associated with Covid-19 pneumonia. This was a case of a 66 years old male with multiple co-morbidities presenting with symptoms of Covid infection including generalized weakness. After confirming Covid 19 infection management was started accordingly but patient’s weakness seemed to increase. He was found to have low sodium level of 105 mmol /L and investigations confirmed that he was having SIADH. He was treated with hypertonic saline, fluid restriction and his symptoms and laboratory parameters gradually improved.

Authors: Srijon SM Sanayet Bin Mustafiz , Khanam Rawshan Arra , Mimi Al Fateha Rahman 
Published: November 2020

We present a case of a 55 year old lady, hypertensive and diabetic who was infected with COVID-19 presenting with acute 6th cranial nerve palsy. The patient was diagnosed with COVID-19 on Sept 01 2020. Seven days later she developed double vision and headache. At that point on complete neurological examination including examination of cranial nerves she was found to have 6th cranial nerve (Abducens) palsy with convergent squint. As the patients cranial nerves were all intact initially it is suspected that her 6th nerve palsy was related to the viral illness. She was assessed by ophthalmologist and neurologist. She underwent MRI scan of the brain to look for other causes of 6th nerve palsy and it was unremarkable. After almost one week of continued inpatient management her diplopia improved but she still complained of intermittent diplopia with convergent squint.

Pneumothorax following rupture of lung cavity due to aspergillosis in a critically ill patient
Authors: Shrestha Gentle S , Sharma Sachit , Keyal Niraj , Acharya Subhash P 
Published: November 2020

The incidence of fungal infection in intensive care units have been increasing over the years and Aspergillosis is one of the common fungal infections in the ICUs. It is a challenge for critical care experts to diagnose fungal infections on time and initiate appropriate management strategy to prevent adverse outcomes. Fungal infections may be notorious in not being diagnosed with a chest X ray alone as fungal infections related cavitary lesions may not always be seen in a chest X ray, necessitating the need of a CT Scan early on in the course of the illness. A chest CT scan may further be justified if the patient is not responding to a protracted course of higher antibiotics. Any delay in diagnosis may lead to poor outcome. Here we present a case who underwent subtotal gastrectomy for adenocarcinoma of stomach and presented one month later with fever, cough and shortness of breath. The patient was subsequently managed in the ICU but later expired following pneumothorax due to rupture of lung cavity associated with aspergillosis.

Published: November 2020

Background: Use of automated device with ultrasound guidance in renal biopsy has improved the adequacy and reduced the complication. Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH) is a tertiary teaching hospital where Pediatric Nephrology Department started its journey on 11th December 2013. Since then renal biopsy is going on. Aim of the study is to see the rate of adequacy and complication of renal biopsy along the course of years.
Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study carried on 100 consecutive ultrasonography guided percutaneous renal biopsy from lower pole of left native kidney performed by the pediatric nephrologist. All hospitalized children aged up to 12 years admitted since 2014 were included. Spring loaded automated biopsy needle was used in 88% cases and Trucut biopsy needle in 12% cases.
Results: Most of the patients were aged between 1 to 10 years with male female ratio 0.9:1. Midazolam was used for sedation in all patients except one who needed general anesthesia. Light microscopy and Direct Immunofluorescence (DIF) report was made but no facility for electron microscopy. Gross hematuria was experienced in 5% cases and one case needed blood transfusion. There was one case with blood clot in urinary bladder causing dysuria but no urinary retention was observed. Post biopsy perinephric hematomas developed in 4 cases. Number of needle passes to obtain adequate biopsy material in native kidney was £3 in 78% cases. Adequate specimen was found in 95% cases.
Conclusion: Percutaneous renal biopsy can be done adequately and safely in resource poor setup if pediatric nephrologist and radiologists are available.
