Evaluation of the efficacy of the modified bluegrass appliance in cessation of thumb-sucking habit: an in vivo study with 12 months follow-up
Authors: Chhabra Nidhi , Chhabra Anuj 
Published: April 2020

Background and aims. Blue grass appliance, also known as habit correction roller has gained universal attention and acceptance to correct thumb sucking habit. The present study utilizes the modified bluegrass appliance that was fabricated with an inexpensive acrylic roller to lower the cost of treatment and make it more affordable for the patients in developing countries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the modified bluegrass appliance in cessation of thumb-sucking habit.
Methods. Forty children aged 4-14 years visiting our department for the treatment of thumb sucking habit were selected. A modified bluegrass appliance having an acrylic roller was used along with the positive reinforcement. The patients were followed-up after two weeks of appliance placement and then monthly for twelve months. The various factors like need of reinsertion, discomfort caused due to improper placement or distortion, and/or breakages of the appliance following insertion were evaluated. The cessation of the thumb sucking habit was determined by the patient and/or parental/legal guardian confirmation and disappearance of the callous formation on the thumb. However, the total treatment time was determined when the appliance was removed.
Results. Of the total 33 patients included in the final analysis, the treatment was successful in 32 (97%) of the patients. The treatment time for the cessation of habit was ≤ 4 weeks in 13 (40.6 %) patients and 5-20 weeks in 50% of the subjects. Conversely, in 2 (6.3%) of the patients the habit ceased after 21-24 weeks and in 1 (3.1%) patients it took 25-28 weeks for the habit to cease. The appliance had to be reinserted during the treatment in 5 (15.7%) out of the total 32 patients. The total treatment time for the cessation of thumb-sucking habit with modified bluegrass appliance was ≤24 weeks in 17 (53.1%) patients, 25-36 weeks in 34.4% and 37-48 weeks for the 12.5% subjects.
Conclusion. The modified bluegrass appliance was found to be highly comfortable and cost saving for the patients and very much successful in eliminating the habit within a short period of time without any complications.

Published: April 2020

Objectives. To identify the potential risk factors for the occurrence of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaws among patients who have been treated with radiotherapy for head and neck malignancy.
Methods. The study comprised of 231 patients treated with radiotherapy for head and neck malignancy at a tertiary referral center. The following details were recorded for each patient: age, gender, histopathological diagnosis, clinical staging, tumor site, treatment modality, radiation dose, radiation field, number of fractions, type of accelerator used, radiation area and duration of follow-up . Patient’s tobacco, alcohol habit history, and history of extraction of teeth before/during/after radiotherapy were also noted.
Results. Thirteen patients had osteoradionecrosis (frequency 5.62%). Among the radiotherapy variables assessed, increased radiation area was found to be significantly associated with the occurrence of osteoradionecrosis. Among the 13 ORN cases, 10 (76.9%) had a history of tobacco consumption, 8 (61.5%) had a time interval between radiotherapy and occurrence of ORN of less than 1-year duration.
Discussion and conclusion. We found a low cumulative incidence of osteoradionecrosis and a tendency to occur within a year of starting radiotherapy. Patients of older age, those with a prior tobacco habit may be considered more liable to develop osteoradionecrosis. A larger radiation field may also put patients at hazard for developing osteoradionecrosis.

The interaction of an electron beam with chalcogenide films As4Se96 has been studied. The kinetics of the formation of an electron-induced surface relief in the dose range 9,3 · 103–9,3 · 107 мC· cm−2 is established. The parameters of the interaction of a film As4Se96 with an electron beam are calculated. It is shown that the observed point of inversion of the shape of the electron-induced relief can be caused by the crossover of the surface potential. The process of manufacturing the image element by the single-step lithography is realized on the surface of an As4Se96 film.

Published: April 2020

The article reveals the place of the prosecutors office in the system of separation of powers of these states based on the analysis of the constitutions and legislation of the member states of the Commonwealth of Independent States. The purpose of the article is to determine the best ways to improve the legal status of the prosecutors office to increase the effectiveness of the Russian prosecutors office.
The objectives of the study are to identify the general and particular in the legal status of the prosecution bodies of the CIS member states, to identify the main trends in the development of the institute of prosecution in these countries.
The object of the research was social relations defining the place of the prosecutors office in the system of state power, and the subject was directly the norms of law governing the activities of the prosecution authorities and the practice of their application. The research methodology is general scientific methods of cognition (dialectical, analysis and synthesis, modeling, etc.). The article contains a comparative legal analysis of constitutions and laws on the prosecutors office of the CIS member states. The author comes to the conclusion that international associations of prosecutors have a significant influence on the process of forming the legal status of prosecution authorities in the world. It is concluded that in the CIS member states there was no uniform model of prosecution bodies and, accordingly, there was no uniform approach to determining the place of the institute of prosecution in the system of separation of powers.
On the basis of the study, a tendency has been revealed to increase the influence of the President on the institute of the prosecutors office in a number of CIS countries. The author, after analyzing the laws of the CIS countries and Russian law enforcement practice, comes to the conclusion that it is expedient to adopt legislative and organizational measures aimed at embedding the Russian prosecution authorities in the system of presidential authority.
Juridical thinking and evolution of semiotical remedies of constructing of law reality
Authors: Razuvaev Nikolay V. 
Published: April 2020

The article considers the phenomenon of legal thinking as an independent kind of thinking, whose main goal is the construction of legal reality. The author believes that legal thinking performs three most important functions: firstly, it forms the matter of legal reality formed by atomic facts, secondly, it establishes the interconnection of facts in the logical and cultural-historical space of reality and, thirdly, it consolidates facts and relations between them in various sign forms developed in the process of cognitive activity of individuals. As shown in the work, the establishment of a logical relationship between its static (constructive) characteristics and evolutionary dynamics is of particular importance in terms of theoretical understanding of legal reality. According to the author, it is the activity of legal thinking that creates the prerequisites for the evolution of law and legal reality in the historical dimension. Cognitive and other creative activity of legal thinking creates those symbolic forms in which the interrelation of facts and factual complexes takes on an external expression. Moreover, in the course of evolution there is a complication of such forms, their acquisition of universality and validity.
The work demonstrated that the most important regularity of legal evolution is the formation on the basis of specific situations of legal communication of subjective rights, which in the future, as they are typified and distributed to an increasingly wide range of individuals, are transformed into legal norms. This regularity gets its justification and confirmation both on general scientific material and on the example of legal science, which acts as the highest level of organization of legal thinking. The consequence of the processes under consideration, according to the author, is the formation of a common legal reality space for all individuals, which is a single field of intersubjective communications.

O João sem medo e as onze feras – Warum und wie der Journalist und bekennende Kommunist João Saldanha 1969 Trainer der Seleção wurde
Authors: Knoth Sebastian 
Published: April 2020

Resumo
O presente artigo analisa a carreira futebolística do jornalista e treinador de futebol João Saldanha (1917 – 1990) e as circunstâncias sócio-históricas no final dos anos 60 no Brasil, período em que Saldanha foi convocado para assumir o comando da seleção brasileira.
Saldanha, que, a partir dos anos 30, foi ligado ao Partido Comunista, treinou a seleção brasileira durante um dos momentos de maior opressão imposta pelo regime militar no Brasil, e classificou o Brasil para o mundial de 1970. Mesmo assim, depois de vários conflitos com o presidente da Confederação Brasileira de Desportos – CBD (João Havelange) – e com o poderoso líder militar, o general Emílio Garrastazu Médici, Saldanha foi demitido no início do ano 1970, pois não aceitou nenhuma interferência no trabalho por parte dos dirigentes. A repercussão social destes conflitos e a resistência de Saldanha foram fatores políticos importantes naquele momento, e ultrapassaram em muito os limites do mundo do futebol.

Published: April 2020

The aim of the study was to investigate the distribution and content of neuroglobin in the pyramidal neurons of the frontal and parietal cortex of white rats during simulated cholestasis.Material and methods. The study included 60 outbred white male rats weighed 200–250 g. Cholestasis was simulated by ligation of the common bile duct in the porta hepatis area (main group, n=30). Animals of the control group (n=30) were performed a false operation preserving physiological bile outflow. Sections of the frontal and parietal cortex of white rats were selected for investigation. The content and distribution of neuroglobin was detected immunohistochemically on paraffin sections using mouse monoclonal primary antibodies Anti- Neuroglobin antibody (Abcam). Cytophotometric analysis was used to perform quantitative assessment of the content of the studied molecular marker; after that statistical analysis was performed.Results. It was found that the content of neuroglobin in the pericarions of neurons of the frontal and parietal cortex modified in a wave-like mode. After ligation of the common bile duct, the content of neuroglobin significantly decreased in 2, 10 and 45 days (minimum on the 10th day) in the frontal cortex and in 90 days in the parietal cortex, and increased in 5 and 20 days of the experiment (maximum on the 20th day).Conclusion. In cholestasis, the content of neuroglobin in the pericarions of neurons of the frontal and parietal cortex modifies in waves: a decrease is observed on the 2nd, 10th, 45th day; an increase is observed on the 5th and 20th day; a recovery is observed on the 90th day.

Authors: Isaev A. B. , Babazade K. Sh. 
Published: April 2020

The aim of this research was to study gender and typological features of the morphometric parameters of the alveolar process of the maxilla in the mature population of the Republic of Azerbaijan.Material and methods. The study included 100 macerated mature male and female skulls reported in the certificates from the craniological collection of the fundamental museum of the department of human anatomy and medical terminology of the Azerbaijan medical university. The craniometric and variation-statistical methods were used in the study. Measurements were performed according to the generally accepted method using standard instruments for craniometry (Vernier caliper, caliper and a metal ruler). Cranial cuts in the frontal plane at the level of the upper canines, second premolars and molars were performed to measure the height and width of the alveolar ridge.Results. The results of morphometry demonstrated that the alveolar process of the maxilla has a pronounced gender dimorphism in males and females. Thus, in men morphometric parameters of the alveolar ridge (measured at different levels) are higher than in women. The alveolar ridge is statistically higher in leptoprozopes and mesoprozopes compared with euriprozopes at all studied levels.Conclusion. The height and width of the alveolar process of the maxilla have significant gender differences. Certain features of the width of the alveolar ridge have been detected for various forms of the facial part of the skull, but no evident relationship has been revealed.

Authors: Kolsanov A. V. , Nazaryan A. K. , Voronin A. S. , Gelashvili O. A. 
Published: April 2020

The article discusses variant anatomy of the renal arteries, potentials of three-dimensional modeling and use of these data in clinical practice. Despite a large number of studies based on both morphological and clinical approaches there is no general consensus regarding options for dividing the renal artery, the number of its branches, their topolocalization. This is due to the fact that most of the research studies are based on cadaveric material, fixed and unfixed. It is difficult to apply these data to explain medical conditions and pathologies of particular patients. Computed tomography allows performing in vivo investigation of various morphometric parameters of the renal arteries, and these findings can subsequently be used in disease diagnostics and treatment.The aim of the study was to identify patterns of topography, linear dimensions and variant anatomy of the human renal arteries based on computed tomography angiography (CTA) with three-dimensional modeling, and to apply CTA findings in clinical practice.Material and methods. The study included CTA images of the abdomen of 130 patients, and their threedimensional models. A hardware-software complex "Luch-S" and software complex "Avtoplan" (Russian project) were used to perform morphometric analysis. The diameter of the renal artery mouth, the level of origin of the renal artery mouths, as well as the angles between the renal arteries and the abdominal aorta were analyzed morphometrically and statistically.Results. The authors have developed recommendations how to use three-dimensional modeling of vascular- organ complexes in patients at the stage of preoperative planning and intraoperative navigation in clinical practice. Generated dataset of personalized morphometric data can be applied to teach basic operation techniques involving possible damage to abnormal vessels, as well as training specific surgical procedures involving the kidney and its vessels in a simulation-based surgical clinic.

Published: April 2020

The aim of the studywas to assess capability and benefits of this method, its technical feasibility and safety regarding a damage of the most essential anatomical structures.Material and methods.The study involved 15 natural humeral bones; their parameters - the length and shape of the plates – were measured for osteosynthesis. Bone osteosynthesis was further performed on 14 intact upper limbs taken from 7 non-fixed corpses of people died at the age of 63–77 using the discussed method; after that, the operated limbs were studied using preparating technique. Furthermore, after plate application on two shoulder sections, 12 transverse cuts with their epoxy plastination were made at three levels according to the original technology; this was followed by the preparation of histotopographic sections.Results.The results obtained have demonstrated that for the new method of bone osteosynthesis it is advisable to use metal plates 220–260 mm long with spiral twisting clockwise for the right humerus and counterclockwise for the left. Average distances from the fixed plate to the humerus, tendon of the long head of the biceps of the shoulder muscle, large blood vessels and peripheral nerves were determined using precision preparation and measurements; the measurements were also performed on transparent plate-shaped shoulder cuts. All the above validates safety of the discussed method regarding a damage of the most essential anatomical structures and allow to successfully use it in the clinical practice.Conclusion.The discussed technique of plastinated transverse shoulder cuts with further experimental fixation of metal implants for osteosynthesis ensures safety of the initial topographic and anatomical relationships of these structures with anatomical structures. In addition, high transparency of the tissues created by epoxy plastination allows determining distances between implants and important anatomical structures with high precision, the fact being of great significance in applied anatomical studies.
