Takayasu Arteritis – A Systematic Review
Authors: Hrisrova D. , Marchev S. 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Takayasu arteritis is a chronic, progressive, idiopathic, large-vessel vasculitis that affects the aorta, its main branches and the pulmonary arteries. It typically occurs in young Asian women but can be found in any ethnic group and in men. The disease is named after Mikito Takayasu, a Japanese ophthalmologist, who first described the arteriovenous anomalies in the retina of a patient with the disease in 1908. The etiopathogenesis is not known, but studies are being conducted regarding the immunological, infection and genetic aspects of the disease. Early during the course of the disease, inflammation of the involved arteries progresses, resulting in segmental stenosis, occlusion, dilatation and/or aneurysm. The clinical presentation of Takayasu arteritis varies depending on the blood vessels involved. Early symptoms are nonspecific, making the diagnosis difficult. Subsequently, arterial occlusions occur, producing more specific ischemic symptoms. Paucity of specific symptoms and laboratory biomarkers, as well as difficulties in assessing the disease activity and progression, make it often unrecognized at onset, and its activity is frequently underestimated. The diagnosis is usually confirmed by a combination of clinical manifestations, laboratory markers, diagnostic criteria and imaging methods. The purpose of this review is to address the current knowledge on pathogenesis, investigations, classification and management, and to emphasize the need for timely diagnosis, effective therapeutic intervention, and close monitoring of this disease.

Abstract
The entrepreneurial sector can play an important role in increasing the functional complexity of the territorial systems with tourist functionality, by increasing the capacity of adapting the local economy to the changes caused by the economic crises. The study aims to analyze the dynamics of the entrepreneurial sector, for the period 2000-2016, and to identify the changes in the entrepreneurial profile, in the territorial systems with tourist functionality from Romania. To quantify this dynamics, a database was created, at the territorial administrative unit level, with the main economic indicators (number of companies, number of employees, turnover and profit). The database was also used for the development of trend matrices on the evolution of the above indicators, at the four-digit NACE code (classification of activities in the national economy), and on the evolution of the ranks held by each economic sector for the analyzed period. The result highlight the importance of the entrepreneurial sector, in the dynamics of local and regional economies of the territorial systems with tourist functionality.
Comparison of Two RUSLE Models at the Hillslope Scale in Experimental Plots in Haiyuan, Ningxia, China

Published: October 2019

Abstract
Topsoil erosion and mass soil losses from hillslopes have negatively affected water quality, vegetation health, local ecosystems, and livelihood. Studies have stated the effectiveness of vegetation in significantly reducing top-soil erosion and enhancing slope stability. This study aims to better understand the application of erosional models in Haiyuan of Ningxia, a semi-arid region of China. The study site is comprised of 20 experimental plots with 11 vegetation covers and 5 slope gradients in design, which were compared to the benchmark of bare land with each slope gradient. Meteorological data and soil hydraulic measurements were collected from 2005 to 2012, and runoff and sediment load were measured by concrete basins at the base of the slopes, which mainly occurred during the summer storms. Multi-plots provide different combinations of vegetation covers and slopes to identify the driving factors of topsoil erosion during rainfall-runoff events and to examine the threshold behavior of their inter-relationship. In order to determine which models were most applicable to this area, the results of RUSLE and CSLE were applied to the data and compared to the known results.

Abstract
Interactions between plants represent an important aspect of ecology, which enables them to properly utilize the available resources in the given environment. The interactions are mediated by different mechanisms, among which allelopathy is a significant one. During allelopathic interactions, plants tend to suppress competitors plants or stimulate those which can help them adjust in the environment in a better manner. Such interactions are triggered by the release of chemical compounds termed, as allelochemicals, which have an important role in agricultural modulation. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the allelopathic effects of leaf and bark extracts of sheesham (Dalbergia sissoo L.) on germination data of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cv. Auqab. Different concentrations (7 g/l, 14 g/l, and 21 g/l) of sundried leaf and bark extracts, obtained after 12, 24 and 36 h of soaking duration were tested for germination %, mean germination time (MGT), plumule and radicle length and seedling dry weight. It was observed that germination % was negatively affected by 21 g leaf and bark extract concentration at 36 h soaking duration, but not by lower concentration or soaking durations. MGT was significantly increased by leaf and bark extracts at three concentration levels, as well as soaking durations. Plumule and radicle length responded negatively to both leaf and bark extracts at higher concentration and when soaking duration was increased. Seedling dry weight was increased by 7 g leaf extracts at 36 h, but reduced by 21g at 12 and 24 h soaking durations. On the other hand, 21 g of bark extracts at 12, 24 and 36 h soaking duration resulted in significantly increased dry biomass. These results suggest negative allelopathy of Sheesham on studied germination parameters of wheat, except radicle length and dry biomass.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to assess the water needs of elderberry. The investigation included elderberry plants that had been planted in land reclamation areas more than three years earlier. The water needs were evaluated for 5 agro-climatic regions of Poland. The calculations were based on the observation of meteorological conditions in the years 1981-2010 for the period from June 1 to July 31. To determine the water needs, the plant coefficient method was applied. The Blaney-Criddle formula, which was modified for Polish conditions by Żakowicz (2010), was used to calculate the reference evapotranspiration. The plant coefficients of elderberry, adapted to the reference evapotranspiration, were adjusted to Żakowicz’s method. The rainfall deficit with the probability of occurrence: N50%, N25% and N10%, was assessed in accordance with Ostromęcki’s method. The highest water needs of elderberry occurred in central-north-west (264 mm) and central-east (262 mm) Poland, while the lowest (244 mm) in the south-east region. In June, the highest total monthly water needs (119 mm) were noted for south-west Poland, whereas the lowest (107 mm) for the south-east region. In June and July, except for the central-north-west region, an upward time trend of water needs was noted throughout Poland. In June and July, the highest value (135 mm) of rainfall deficit N50% and N25% was estimated for the central-north-west region, while the highest rainfall deficit N10% (269 mm) for central-east Poland. The results of the presented research find application in the planning of irrigation treatments for elderberry in Poland.

Abstract
Formalin fixation is a widely used method in histopathology that has certain limits. Formalin often leads to the degradation of DNA molecules in cancer tissues, which makes tissues unusable for molecular analysis. The other factors may also affect the quality of DNA isolated from fixed tissues. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of the incubation time and temperature on the quality of DNA molecules isolated from various healthy human tissues. The brain, lung and kidney tissues, excluded during the forensic autopsies of people who died of violent death, were fixed in phosphate-buffered formalin from 24h to two months. After the completion of the incubation period, the DNA was isolated using phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol extraction method and the concentration and purity of the samples were determined spectrophotometrically. The degree of degradation of DNA was assessed by PCR reaction, by amplification of gene fragments which lengths were 150bp (GPD1) and 262bp (β-actin). The highest concentration, purity and preserved integrity of DNA were obtained from the brain samples. With prolonged tissue incubation times in formalin, the concentration and integrity of DNA decreased in all tissue samples, especially in the brain tissue, while the purity of DNA remained unchanged. Also, tissue fixation at +4°C contributed to a better quality of isolated DNA compared to DNA isolated from tissue fixed at room temperature. We can conclude that the type of human healthy tissue, temperature and the incubation time of formalin fixation have important influence on the concentration, purity and integrity of DNA during fixation of tissues excluded in the course of forensic autopsy.

Abstract
Vancomycin is a tricyclic glycopeptide antibiotic, mostly used in the treatment of severe staphylococcal and enterococcal infections, especially in orthopedic surgery.
The purpose of this analysis was to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model of vancomycine in hospitalized patients with bone fractures and identify important factors which influence its clearance (CL).
A total of ninety-nine measurements of vancomycin serum concentrations were used in our population modeling. A two-compartment model was applied to describe the pharmacokinetics of vancomycin using subroutines ADVAN3 and TRANS4.
The study population included patients of both sexes, with the mean age of 62.12±14.69 years and body weight of 80.32±12.44kg. Vancomycin was administered as intravenous infusion with average daily dose of 1772.73±521.34mg. Out of twenty different factors evaluated in the study (including demographic, clinical and laboratory data), only daily dose of vancomycin (DD) and co-medication with piperacillin/tazobactam (PT) showed significant effect on clearance of vancomycin. The final model was described by the following equation: CL (l/h) = 0.03 + 0.000468 x DD + 0.675 x PT. Bootstrapping was used for validation of the final model.
In conclusion, the main causes of variability in the clearance of vancomycin among adult patients with bone fractures are daily dose of vancomycin and co-medication with piperacillin/tazobactam.

Published: October 2019

Indonesia merupakan wilayah rawan gempa, sehingga konstruksi bangunan memakai sistem penahan gaya seismik dianggap penting. Umumnya, struktur bangunan adalah beton bertulang, adapun baja penggunaan sistem special moment frames (SMF) lebih banyak dijumpai sebagai sistem penahan gaya seismik. Padahal menurut peraturan ASCE/SEI 7-10 terdapat pilihan sistem penahan gaya seismik untuk bangunan baja seperti special plate shear walls (SPSW), special truss moment frames (STMF) dan sistem khususnya lainnya. Studi ini akan memperlihatkan perbandingan perencanaan bangunan sistem SMF dan SPSW dalam mempelajari potensi penggunaan kedua sistem ini di Indonesia. Konfigurasi bentang antar kolom dipilih agar menghasilkan variasi desain bangunan sistem SMF sehingga menghasilkan struktur yang ekonomis. Dari hasil studi perbandingan perencanaan, diketahui jika konfigurasi struktur bangunan dengan panjang bentang antar kolom yang pendek, maka sistem SMF lebih ekonomis bila dibandingkan terhadap sistem SPSW. Akan tetapi, untuk panjang bentang antar kolom yang besar penggunaan sistem SPSW dapat menjadi alternatif. Indonesia is located in earthquake risk area, thus the construction of seismic resisting structures is important. In general, reinforcement concrete is used for the structural of buildings, while the use of steel material, special moment frames (SMF) is more commonly used as a seismic force-resistant frame system. According to the standard provision of ASCE/SEI 7-10, the seismic resisting systems for steel buildings are special plate shear walls (SPSW), special truss moment frames (STMF) and other specialized systems. This paper will present analytical models of SMF and SPSW, which is studied further to determine the potential use in Indonesia. To overcome this, parametric study is used to develop design variations with the SMF system cases on different column distance designed to find the most economical structure. The results of comparative design study shown that the SMF system is suitable to be applied for the columns distance with short span and verified to be more economical. However, for long span of columns distance the use of SPSW system can be an alternative.
