Published: June 2020

Background and objectives: The prevalence of ischemic heart disease (IHD) has increased in most of the developing countries, including Bangladesh. An important marker of IHD is dyslipidemia which includes high levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (T-cholesterol), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) and low level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c). So it is very important to know the lipid levels of a particular population for early intervention and prevention of IHD. The present study investigated the lipid levels of healthy urban adult Bangladeshi population.
Methods: The cross sectional study was carried out over a period of one year at the Department of Physiology of Ibrahim Medical College, Dhaka, Bangladesh. A total number of 286 apparently healthy individuals were included in this study. Blood sample following overnight fast was collected for determination of serum TG, T-cholesterol, LDL-c and HDL-c. For all four lipid components, 95th percentile value was calculated and compared with values recommended by World Health Organization (WHO).
Results: A total number of 286 adult individuals were enrolled of which 130 (45.5%) and 156 (54.5%) were male and female respectively. The mean levels of TG (122±56 mg/dl) and T-cholesterol (178±25 mg/dl) of male participants were significantly (p=0.001, p=0.008) higher than that of females (79.3±35.6 and 170±26 mg/dl). The level of serum HDL-c was significantly (p=0.001) higher in females (46.1±7.8 mg/dl)) compared to the males (39.7±8.6 mg/dl). The 95th percentile values of TG, T-cholesterol and LDL-c were higher than that of values recommended by WHO. Of the total participants, 17.1% to 24.1% had TG, T-cholesterol and LDL-c levels higher than the WHO recommended range.
Conclusion: It is concluded that a proportion of our urban healthy young adult population had lipid profiles different from that recommended by WHO.

Controlling H*- and J-aggregation of an indotricarbocyanine dye in aqueous solutions of inorganic salts
Authors: Belko Nikita V. , Samtsov Michael P. , Lugovski Anatoly P. 
Published: June 2020

Aggregation process of a symmetrical cationic indotricarbocyanine dye in aqueous medium was studied. It was shown that self-assembled H*-aggregates with an absorption peak at 514 nm as well as J-aggregates with an absorption peak at 777 nm can be obtained. Both of the aggregate types are non-fluorescent. High concentration of a desired aggregate type can be obtained and stabilized by changing ionic strength and pH of the solution. At ionic strength of 170 mmol/L and pH 7.4 J-aggregates are stable. Decreasing pH as well as ionic strength leads to demise of J-aggregates and concomitant formation of H*-aggregates. Increasing temperature leads to a faster H*-aggregate formation. The type of aggregates can be changed by heating and subsequent cooling of the solution. An organic compound forming both H*- and J-aggregates has never been observed before. The fact that the H*- and J-bands are narrow, the shift between them is significant, the J-band is located in the far-red spectral region, and the type of aggregates can be controlled makes these objects promising for future applications.

Published: June 2020

Diazoquinone-novolac photoresist films implanted with B+ ions were studied by the method of attenuated total reflection (ATR). Films of positive photoresist FP9120 with a thickness h of 1.0 and 2.5 mm were deposited by centrifuging on p-type silicon plates with (111) orientation. Implantation with 60 keV B+ions in the dose range of 1015–1016 cm–2 in the constant ion current mode (current density 4 mA/cm2 ) was carried out at room temperature in a residual vacuum not worse than 10–5 Pa using the «Vesuvius-6» ion beam accelerator. The attenuated total reflection spectra were recorded in the range 400 – 4000 cm–1 by ALPHA spectrophotometer (Bruker Optik GmbH, Germany) at room temperature. It was shown that ion implantation leads to intensive transformation of the photoresist beyond the range of ions, which is characterized by the appearance in the spectrum of intense bands with peaks at 2151 and 2115 cm–1, due to stretching vibrations of double cumulative bonds, in particular С——С——О. In the implanted samples, a shift to the low-energy region of the maxima of the stretching vibrations of C—H bonds, plane deformation vibrations of O—H bonds and pulsating vibrations of the carbon skeleton of aromatic rings as well as the redistribution of intensities between closely spaced maxima, were observed.

Published: June 2020

Relevance. The modern view of periodontitis as a dysbiotic disease that occurs as a result of changes in the microbial composition of the subgingival region is considered in a systematic review.Purpose. To study a new paradigm of development of generalized periodontitis.Materials and methods. Randomized controlled trials (RCTS) were selected for the study, including cluster RCTS, controlled (non-randomized) microbiological and clinical studies of the oral microbiome in adult patients with generalized periodontitis over the past 10 years.Results. The transition from a symbiotic microflora to a dysbiotic pathogenic community triggers the host's inflammatory response, which contributes to the development of periodontal diseases. Modern ideas about periodontal pathogenic bacteria dictate new requirements for the treatment of periodontal diseases. The second part of the review examines the microbial profiles of periodontal disease in various nosological forms, the mechanisms of the immune response and approaches to the treatment of periodontal disease from the perspective of biofilm infection.Conclusions. As follows from modern literature periodontitis is to a certain extent caused by the transition from a harmonious symbiotic bacterial community to a dysbiotic one. Recent scientific studies have shown that not single microorganism is not able to cause disease but the microbial community as a whole leads to the development of pathology.

Published: June 2020

BackgroundExercise is recommended as a treatment for premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in clinical guidelines, but this is currently based on poor-quality trial evidence.AimTo systematically review the evidence for the effectiveness of exercise as a treatment for PMS.Design & settingThis systematic review searched eight major databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and two trial registries from inception until April 2019.MethodRandomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing exercise interventions of a minimum of 8-weeks duration with non-exercise comparator groups in women with PMS were included. Mean change scores for any continuous PMS outcome measure were extracted from eligible trials and standardised mean differences (SMDs) were calculated where possible. Random-effects meta-analysis of the effect of exercise on global PMS symptoms was the primary outcome. Secondary analyses examined the effects of exercise on predetermined clusters of psychological, physical, and behavioural symptoms.ResultsA total of 436 non-duplicate returns were screened, with 15 RCTs eligible for inclusion (n= 717). Seven trials contributed data to the primary outcome meta-analysis (n= 265); participants randomised to an exercise intervention reported reduced global PMS symptom scores (SMD = -1.08; 95% confidence interval [CI] = -1.88 to -0.29) versus comparator, but with substantial heterogeneity (I2= 87%). Secondary results for psychological (SMD = -1.67; 95% CI = -2.38 to -0.96), physical (SMD = -1.62; 95% CI = -2.41 to -0.83) and behavioural (SMD = -1.94; 95% CI = -2.45 to -1.44) symptom groupings displayed similar findings. Most trials (87%) were considered at high risk of bias.ConclusionBased on current evidence, exercise may be an effective treatment for PMS, but some uncertainty remains.

Published: June 2020

BackgroundFamily caregivers to patients who are severely ill have high use of primary health care and psychotropic medication. However, it remains sparsely investigated whether healthcare services target the most vulnerable caregivers.AimThis study aimed to examine associations between family caregivers’ grief trajectories of persistent high-grief symptom level (high-grief trajectory) versus persistent low-grief symptom level (low-grief trajectory), as well as early contacts with GPs or psychologists and the use of psychotropic medication.Design & settingA population-based cohort study of family caregivers (n = 1735) in Denmark was undertaken.MethodThe Prolonged Grief-13 (PG-13) scale measured family caregivers’ grief symptoms at inclusion (during the patient's terminal illness), 6 months after bereavement, and 3 years after bereavement. Multinomial regression was used to analyse register-based information on GP consultations, psychologist sessions, and psychotropic medication prescriptions in the 6 months before inclusion.ResultsA total of 1447 (83.4%) family caregivers contacted their GP, and 91.6% of participants in the high-grief trajectory had GP contact. Compared with family caregivers in the low-grief trajectory, family caregivers in the high-grief trajectory had ≥4 face-to-face GP consultations (odds ratio [OR] = 2.6; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.3 to 5.0), more GP talk therapy (OR =4.4; 95% CI = 1.9 to 10.0), and more psychotropic medication, but not significantly more psychologist sessions (OR = 1.7; 95% CI = 0.5 to 6.6).ConclusionFamily caregivers in the high-grief trajectory had more contact with their GP, but their persisting grief symptoms suggest that primary care interventions for family caregivers should be optimised. Future research is warranted in such interventions and in the referral patterns to specialised mental health care.
Beber o no beber. Particularidades en la construcción del dispositivo enunciativo en el discurso publicitario de cervezas
Authors: Suárez Bernardo 
Published: June 2020

Las bebidas alcohólicas han debido restringir y adaptar sus mensajes de acuerdo a las disposiciones legales del marco regulatorio para ese tipo de comunicación. En parte por la inquietud que desde distintas esferas públicas y privadas al advertir sobre el crecimiento en los índices de consumo, especialmente en el segmento de los adolescentes. Distintas reglamentaciones han obligado a la inclusión en las publicidades de leyendas como: “Beber con moderación. Prohibida su venta a menores de 18 años”; algunas marcas de cervezas decidieron implementar a la par de sus avisos de producto, mensajes cuyo contenido apunta a beber responsablemente. Es el caso de la marca Quilmes.

El objetivo del presente trabajo es describir y analizar cómo se conforma el dispositivo enunciativo en los avisos gráficos de Quilmes, conforme a una doble figuración: el de la marca que orienta al consumo, y el de la empresa que asume la responsabilidad de normativizar las situaciones en las que se consume el producto. Para ello, ubicados en la instancia de producción discursiva, recurriremos a las herramientas metodológicas propuestas por la teoría de la enunciación (Benveniste, Kerbrat-Orecchioni, Ducrot, Maingueneau) y la teoría de los discursos sociales (Verón).
