Os animais de produção estão sendo modificados através de um intenso melhoramento genético, buscando intensificar seu desempenho para atender a demanda mundial em quesitos de alimentação. Essa maximização de desempenho demanda um acréscimo nutricional, e este por sua vez pode afetar as funções reprodutivas. Vários estudos mostram que a reprodução pode ser comprometida se as necessidades nutricionais dos animais não forem atendidas. Esta demanda nutricional afeta diretamente a função dos órgãos reprodutivos e o funcionamento do sistema endócrino, podendo interferir na taxa de fertilidade destes animais. A nutrição tem influência na fertilidade, diretamente por meio do fornecimento de nutrientes específicos, que são necessários para os processos de desenvolvimento do folículo, de ovulação, de maturação oocitária, de fertilização, de sobrevivência embrionária e o estabelecimento da gestação e, indiretamente, atuando sobre as concentrações circulantes dos hormônios e outros metabólitos sensíveis aos nutrientes que são requeridos para o sucesso destes processos. O objetivo do presente trabalho é obter uma revisão de literatura atualizada sobre o contexto recente da influência de fatores nutricionais sobre os aspectos reprodutivos de animais ruminantes. Palavras-chave: Nutrição. Metabolismo. Fertilidade. Ruminantes. AbstractThe farm animals are being modified through an intensive genetic improvement seeking to increase their performance to meet the global demand on power issues. This performance maximization demands an extra nutritional and this in turn can affect the reproductive functions. Several studies show that the reproduction can be compromised if the animal’s nutritional needs are met. This nutritional demand directly affects the function of the reproductive organs and the functioning of the endocrine system and may interfere with fertility rate of these animals. Nutrition affects fertility, directly through the provision of specific nutrients that are required for the processes of development of follicle maturation, ovulation, oocyte , fertilization, embryo survival and the establishment of pregnancy; and, indirectly, acting on circulating concentrations of hormones and other metabolites sensitive to nutrients that are required for the success of these processes. The goal of this work was to obtain an updated literature review with recent studies related to nutritional aspects involved in the ruminant animals reproduction. Keywords: Nutrition. Metabolism.

Problemáticas estructurales para el ejercicio moral de la fe pública. Una reflexión desde la sociología comprensiva
Authors: Ramírez Henao Driver Ferney 
Published: December 2019

La contaduría pública tiene una función social que consiste en garantizar credibilidad, confianza y orden al público en general. Esto es posible gracias a la facultad que le entrega el Estado colombiano al profesional contable de poder otorgar fe pública. El ejercicio fedatario imprime en el contador público un rol de mediador y regulador entre el Estado, las empresas y la ciudadanía. Sin embargo, una publicación reciente de Ámbito Jurídico revela que la conducta más sancionada por el Tribunal Disciplinario de la Contaduría Pública es la conducta contra la fe pública, lo que invita a pensar que algunos profesionales contables, por la búsqueda de sus propios intereses, han transgredido su función social. Con lo anterior en mente, en este artículo se cuestiona: ¿qué problemáticas estructurales están dificultando el ejercicio moral de la fe pública? Para dar respuesta al interrogante se propone observar la fe pública desde el concepto sociológico de acción social, y así plasmar las relaciones presentes entre la fe pública, el Estado, el capitalismo, la administración burocrática-tecnocrática y el individuo. La reflexión final de este trabajo indica que el profesional contable, debido a las transformaciones estructurales de la realidad social actual, está cargando de sentido la acción social de la fe pública atendiendo dos conductas antagónicas, pero validadas por el Estado, como son la moral y el egoísmo.

PUBLIC EXPENDITURE ON EDUCATION AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: A STATE-LEVEL ANALYSIS IN INDIA
Authors: Bhattacharyya Plabita 
Published: December 2019

Purpose of the Study: The aim of the study is to find the causal relationship between public expenditure on education and the economic growth of 28 states of India. The paper tries to provide an answer to the research question of whether or not there exists any causal relationship between public expenditure on education and economic growth in the states of India. It also aims to investigate whether public expenditure creates economic growth or economic growth is the cause of public expenditure.
Methodology: To examine the relationship between public expenditure on education and economic growth panel data of 28 states of India has been used in the study. To find the causal relation cointegration test has been applied. To examine the short-run and long-run dynamics between public expenditure on education and economic growth the study has adopted the Panel Vector Error Correction model.
Main Findings: The result of the study indicates that there exists a long-run relationship between public expenditure on education and economic growth. A unidirectional causality between Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) and public expenditure on education is found in the long run. The meaning is that as growth takes place in the Indian states it pushes the government to increase its activities which stimulate an increase in public expenditure.
Applications of this study: This study can be useful for the formulation of government policy. It can also be useful for students and research scholars.
Novelty/Originality of this study: In this research work, a causal relationship is examined between economic growth and government expenditure especially in the education sector which is a major component of human resource development. All states are considered which are included in underdevelopment index and categorized as least developed; less developed and relatively developed states on the basis of some key socio-economic components.
Budesonide ММХ in the treatment of ulcerative colitis: real world clinical practice
Authors: Makarchuk P. A. , Britkina O. S. , Belousova E. A. 
Published: December 2019

Rationale: Mild and moderate ulcerative colitis (UC) is conventionally treated with oral and rectal 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) formulations and, if ineffective, with systemic glucocorticosteroids. A huge disadvantage of systemic steroids is that with highly efficacy they have severe side effects and the development of hormone-dependency requiring their withdrawal. The main goal of UC treatment is to achieve clinical and endoscopic remission, and possibility to stop steroids. The introduction of multimatrix (MMX) budesonide (Cortiment®), a new topical steroid for UC treatment, widens the therapeutic armamentarium and allows in some cases to refrain from systemic agents, avoiding their side effects and achieving the necessary treatment goals.Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of topical steroid budesonide MMX for remission induction of UC in the real clinical practice.Materials and methods: We have analyzed 122 specially designed case report forms filled in from September 2018 to March 2019 in healthcare centers of Moscow, Voronezh, Lipetsk, Krasnodar, and Krasnoyarsk Regions of Russian Federation. The case report forms included anonymized data on the UC patients treated with budesonide MMX. The results of treatment were analyzed for various severity and extension of UC and depending on budesonide MMX monotherapy or combined therapy with rectal 5-ASA formulations. Treatment was considered effective if clinical and endoscopic remission was achieved.Results: Total efficacy in terms of improvement of clinical parameters (improvement/remission) after 4 weeks of treatment was 95% (118 patients), with clinical remission induced in 42.6% (52 patients). Positive changes over time in the endoscopic findings (improvement/remission) within the same time period were observed in 93% (60 patients), with endoscopic remission in 24.1% (21 patients).Conclusion: Budesonide MMX allows for a rapid clinical improvement and/or clinical remission in the majority of the patients with mild and moderate UC of predominantly left-sided location.

Background: One of the pathological effects of carbon monoxide (CO) on blood is the formation of carboxyhemoglobin. Carboxyhemoglobin completely blocks oxygen transfer; therefore, there is a net decrease in oxygen transport by red blood cells potentially resulting in tissue hypoxia. The effects of CO on blood can also damage cell membranes. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been recognized as effective for investigation into the mechanisms of structural damage in erythrocyte membranes.Aim: By means of AFM, to identify characteristics of changes in morphology and aggregation of erythrocytes exposed to CO in vitro.Materials and methods: All experiments were performed in vitro. We studied the morphology of erythrocytes and their aggregates with AFM. Blood sampling (150 μl) in microvettes with EDTA (Sarstedt AG & Co., Germany) was carried out during a prophylactic work-up of 5 volunteers. To obtain CO in a test tube, formic acid was mixed with sulfuric acid 1:1. Blood levels of carboxyhemoglobin were measured by spectrophotometry. A nonlinear fitting method of the experimental spectra was used to calculate the concentrations of hemoglobin derivatives in blood. Statistical analysis was done with the Origin software (OriginLab Corporation, Northampton, MA, USA).Results: After CO exposure, a shift in peaks was observed. At exposure time t₂=320 s, the percentage of carboxyhemoglobin (CHbCO) was 88±2%. As a result of blood exposure to CO, at t₁=160 s 10% of the cells differed in their shape from discocytes, whereas at t₂=320 s their proportion was 38%. With increasing duration of exposure to CO, erythrocyte aggregation occurred with formation of their large conglomerates up to 30 μm in size. In the control smear, the proportion of discocytes was 96±2%, and the remaining 4±1% of the cells had the form of echinocytes. The cell diameter (Dcont) was in the range 7.5±0.8 μm. After blood exposure to CO at t₁=160 s in the monolayer, 28±5% of cells had a diameter less than<5.7 μm. After CO exposure at t₂=320 s, the proportion of cells with a diameter of less than<5.7 μm increased to 72±11%.Conclusion: The experiments have shown that blood exposure to CO changed the morphology of erythrocytes. The formation of interconnected structures made of red blood cells was observed. With increased time of exposure, erythrocytes demonstrated aggregation with conglomerate formation.

Abstract
Background: To establish an animal model of the minipigs of ileal ureter-bladder anastomosis and ureteral-ureteral anastomosis using the Yang-Monti technique, and compare the advantages and disadvantages. Methods: 14 minipigs were randomly divided into two groups. Group A received the left Yang-Monti ileal ureter-ureteral anastomosis ; group B received the left Yang-Monti ileal ureter-bladder anastomosis. The length of the incision and the operation time of the two groups were compared. Changes in serum creatinine and urea nitrogen were observed. IVU,cystography,Urinary culture examination and histological examination were performed. Results: the remaining 11 miniature pigs had no urinary fistula or intestinal fistula.The operation time and incision length of group A were longer than group B. All minipigs had normal renal function before and after surgery. There was no stenosis obstruction in the venous pyelography. The narrowest diameter of group A was larger than that of group B; no contrast agent was returned to the upper urinary tract in the two groups. Postoperative urine culture examinations were colonized with Escherichia coli. the obstruction and stenosis were found in group A; the ileal ureteral diameter of group A was larger than that of group B. Histological examination showed that the transitional epithelium and columnar epithelial mucosa in group A were not close together; the intestinal villi are slightly atrophied and shortened. Conclusions: Compared with the Yang-Monti ileal ureteral anastomosis, the Yang-Monti ileal ureter-bladder anastomosis is simpler, more reliable, and less complication.

Abstract
Background
The presence of urinary fistula after ileal conduit urinary diversion is a challenging complication , and this study investigated the role of the intra-conduit negative pressure system (NPS) in the presence of urinary fistula following ileal conduit (IC) urinary diversion as a conservative treatment.
Methods
Using the intra-conduit NPS, a minor drainage tube was placed within a silicon tube to suck urine from the conduit with consistent negative pressure. Patients with urinary fistula following IC from August 2012 to July 2017 were recorded, and the clinical characteristics and outcome were retrospectively analyzed.
Results
The intra-conduit NPS was used as a primarily conservative treatment for 13 patients who suffered from urinary fistula and presented with a large amount of abdominal/pelvic drainage without other significant morbidities. The median age was 60 years old (42-74 years), and 7 patients were male. The median duration between the IC operation and the presence of urinary fistula was 15 days (2-28 days), and elevated creatinine levels were detected in the abdominal/pelvic drainage with a median level of 2114 µmol/L (636-388 µmol/L). A significant decrease in abdominal/pelvic drainage was identified in 12 patients. The median time that the NPS was used was 9 days (7-11 days). The other patient did not show any improvements after 2 days of observation and then underwent open surgery. With ureteral stenting, 2 abdominal drainage tubes and the intra-conduit NPS were placed during operation, no urine leakage was observed in the abdominal/pelvic field, and the patient was cured in 9 days. With a median follow-up of 22 months, no fistula recurrence or hydronephrosis was detected.
Conclusion
The intra-conduit negative pressure system is a feasible and promising way to cure urinary fistula following ileal conduit urinary diversion. Because this procedure is a mini-invasive and simple approach, it might represent an alternative in selected patients.

Abstract
Background The need for enhancing the productivity of fisheries in Africa triggered the introduction of non-native fish, causing dramatic changes to local species. In East Africa, the extensive translocation of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is one of the major factors in this respect. Using 40 microsatellite loci with SSR-GBS techniques, we amplified a total of 664 individuals to investigate the genetic structure of O. niloticus from East Africa in comparison to Ethiopian and Burkina Faso populations. Results All three African regions were characterized by independent gene-pools, however, the Ethiopian population from lake Tana showed to be more divergent than expected suggesting that it might be a different species. In East Africa, the genetic structure was congruent with both geographical location and anthropogenic activities. O. niloticus from Lake Turkana (Kenya) was isolated, while in Uganda, despite populations being rather similar to each other, two main natural catchments were able to be defined. We show that these two groups contributed to the gene-pool of different non-native populations. Moreover, admixture and possible hybridization with other tilapiine species may have contributed to the genetic divergence found in some populations such as Lake Victoria. We detected other factors that might be affecting Nile tilapia genetic variation. For example, most of the populations have gone through a reduction of genetic diversity, which can be a consequence of bottleneck caused by overfishing, genetic erosion due to fragmentation or founder effect resulting from stoking activities. Conclusions The anthropogenic activities particularly in the East African O. niloticus translocations, promoted admixture and contact with the native congenerics which may contribute to outbreeding depression and hence compromising the sustainability of the species in the region.

Abstract
Background: Several factors such as recipient age, BMI, serum creatinine, and positive history of dialysis are important in predicting graft survival among kidney transplant recipients. One factor affecting the transplant outcomes is donors and recipients gender, which is usually ignored.
Methods: A total of 1113 kidney transplant recipients were studied in this retrospective cohort study. Several factors were taken into account for graft survival and outcomes such as donors and recipients gender and age in addition to common recipient factors like creatinine, eGFR, BMI, and positive history of dialysis.
Results: The most successful transplant based on donor-recipient gender was observed in male donor to male recipient, and then male donor to female recipient. In female transplant recipients, level of serum creatinine and eGFR, positive dialysis history before transplant, and low donor hemoglobin level can be considered as good prognostic factors recommended for kidney transplant survival.
Conclusions: Our results suggested gender matching for kidney transplant. Only in some exceptional conditions, male donor to female recipient kidney transplant may be successful and female donors to male recipients are not suggested, especially in aged patients with the history of dialysis.
