REVIVING THE INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE OF THE TENYIMIA NAGAS IN EASTERINE KIRE’S WHEN THE RIVER SLEEPS
Authors: Bhattacharya Panchali 
Published: February 2020

Purpose: The purpose of the research is to acquaint the readers with the ideological episteme of the Naga theological dialectic which has always been suppressed by the dominant pedagogy of mainstream India. The study also aims to offer lessons in the management of complex land resources and livelihood through the consciously preserved and transmitted, cumulative, multigenerational Indigenous knowledge of the Naga community.
Methodology: The methodology is text-based interpretation, supported by the associated theoretical premise. A detailed critical analysis of Easterine Kire’s When the River Sleeps based on the theories of folk study and Indigeneity has been undertaken in the article.
Findings: The study brings to limelight the Indigenous knowledge base of the Tenimiyas and unveils the inviolability and regard these native people harbor towards their knowledge system. The paper provides a local answer to the global conundrum of perennial subjugation of traditional Indigenous knowledge. It also tries to legitimize the novelist’s tenability behind showcasing the necessity and relevance of Indigenous knowledge as a means to ensure the durability of the human race.
Implications: The new ethos propagated through my research will give primacy to the revival of the marginalized cultural ideology. Besides, a detailed study of Kire’s novel will enable critics and theoreticians of Indigenous studies to endorse the re-emergence of local knowledge of the aboriginal communities of Nagaland, since traditional Indigenous knowledge has always been perceived as inferior and naive by scientific developmental theories.
The novelty of the study: The readers get an opportunity to accustom themselves with a promising literary work from North-east India which evinces an inherent cultural resilience to preserve the body of knowledge that has been considered credulous, primitive and uncritical since ages. The paper also offers glimpses of the immensely rich and powerful folklores explicitly reflected in the narratives written by Indigenous Naga writers that form an intrinsic part of their collective archetype.

Published: February 2020

Eccentric activity can cause pain due to muscle damage and fatigue. Tired and damaged muscular state will degrade athletes' performance during a competition. Glutamine supplements are known to maintain plasma protein levels and can also improve muscle weakness due to inflammation that occurs after eccentric activity. The purpose of this study was to prove the effect of glutamine supplementation on the reduction of muscle fatigue after eccentric activity based on muscle strength and joint ROM. The subjects of this study were students of PJKR, IKIP Budi Utomo, who were randomly divided into 2 groups, the control group (K1) and treatment group (K2), each consisting of 22 respondents. The design of this research is randomized grsoup pre-test and post-test design. The eccentric activity performed was drop jumps on the bench with a height of 0.5 meters. Glutamine was administered orally after eccentric activity with a dose of 0.4 grams/kg BW in 450 ml water mineral 3 times (3 days). Measurement of Leg muscle strength was performed using Back and Leg Dynamometer by pulling with all the strength using leg muscles, whereas ROM measurements were measured using a goniometer performed on the knee joint in a passive way. The result of measurement obtained the mean of muscle strength of control group 63.7 ± 17.0 kg and treatment group 81.1 ± 17.0 kg at 72 hours. While result of ROM measurement obtained the mean of control group 124.3 ± 3.2 degrees and treatment group 131.7 ± 4.1 degrees at 72 hours. The analysis showed that glutamine administration in treatment group after eccentric activity increased leg muscle strength with p=0.000, and also increased knee joint ROM with p=0.000 at 72 hours after eccentric activity. In conclusion, glutamine administered with a dose of 0.4 gram/kg BW/day can increase leg muscle strength and knee joint ROM at 72 hours after eccentric activity.

Published: February 2020

Traditional bone setting is common in developing nations. The practitioners are barely educated and rely so much on experience. Although they are popular in public, traditional bone setter are known in hospital practice for their failures and complications which present to hospitals for remediation.The purpose of the study is to report the orthopaedic emergency cases caused by the practice of traditional bone setter. This was an observational descriptive study, 36 patients with complications after practice of traditional bone setters and subsequently presented to emergency ward in Hasan Sadikin Hospital between 1st January 2015 and 31st August 2017 were evaluated.Among emergecy orthopaedic cases at Hasan Sadikin Hospital caused by bonesetter practice, compartment syndrome and gangrene are the most common complications occured. Twenty patients (56%) with infected wound and compartment syndrome had successful operation., thirteen patients (36%) with gangrene of the extremities had amputations, and three patients (11%) with multiple organ failure died. Twelve percent of amputations in our centre were related to bonesetter practice.The result of this study indicates that traditional bone setters practice may caused patients to develop complications, lose their limbs even lives due to inappropriate treatments.

Published: February 2020

Background: Drop hand is a clinical manifestation of radial nerve lesion that cause hand dysfunction. Jones tendon transfer is one of the therapeutic modalities in overcoming it with many modifications, but there is still no mutual agreement for which technique is the best. One of them is the Erwin Ramawan technique. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in results before and after tendon transfer surgery with the Erwin Ramawan technique in patients with radial nerve lesions.Methods: Retrospectively, we evaluated patients with high-type lesions of radial nerve carried out by tendon transfer surgery using Erwin Ramawan, to reroute PL to EPL, so the thumb can do abduction and extension, then the FCR tendon is positioned parallel to the ECRB and EDC, then connected 45° direction. The outcome was evaluated using the DASH score and with the Robert G. Chouinard method.Results: The average DASH score in patients with high-type lesions of radial nerve before surgery 56.83 ± 16.69 had a significant improvement (p <0.05) after tendon transfer surgery with Erwin Ramawan technique to 32.00 ± 11.88. Functionally, dorsiflexion from wrist postoperative is 75.00 ± 10.00 (excellent), palmarflexion 52.00 ± 24.65 (excellent). For finger, the metacarpophalangeal extension reaches 166.00 ± 19.49 (good). The distance from the fingertip to metacarpophalangeal crease is 0.10 ± 0.22 (good). On thumb, abduction reaches 40.00 ± 15.81 (excellent), interphalangeal extension 166.00 ± 11.44 (good).Conclusion: Based on these results, we found significant clinical differences before and after tendon transfer with the Erwin Ramawan technique.
Experimental Investigation of Bubble Size in Flotation: Effect of Salt, Coagulant, Temperature, and Organic Compound
Authors: Sadeghi Farhad , Vissers Arno J. W. H. 
Published: February 2020

SummaryFlotation is an important segment of water treatment. Bubbles are generated and dispersed in water where they capture oil and solids residuals and lift them up to the surface. Bubbles are generated either mechanically by agitation or hydraulically by induced gas ejectors. The bubble size has a crucial role in this kind of separation. In general, the smaller the bubbles, the better separation. Water chemistry has an important role in bubble formation and size. A laboratory scale flotation unit was developed to generate the microbubbles with diameters of 10 to 100 µm. The effects of salinity, coagulant, temperature, and ethanol on bubble size were investigated. The addition of 5000 mg/L of sodium chloride (NaCl) affected mainly bubble size with 50 µm diameter, whereas bubble size reduced and diameter decreased by one-half with the addition of NaCl. The bigger bubbles (100 µm size) were affected only at a salinity of 40 000 mg/L, whereas the smaller bubbles (20 to 30 µm) remained stable and did not change with the further increase of salinity. Coagulant affected the water chemistry with a high effect on pH and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), creating a more acidic and oxidant environment; however, the effect on bubble size was not very significant. Increasing water temperature from 20 to 55°C slightly decreased the bubble size, especially for larger bubbles (diameter of 100 µm). The effect of organic compounds such as ethanol on bubble size reduction was significant. The effect of the hydrostatic level of a water column on bubble size was also investigated. The bubble size did not change with increasing the water level; however, the frequency of bubble generation reduced and reached zero at high water elevation. The effect of flotation in oil removal was investigated, and it was observed that ratio of bubble to droplet size was an important factor. The oil coating of bubbles was the main mechanism of oil removal. The smaller bubbles were more readily coated with oil droplets, whereas bigger bubbles tended to attach to clusters.

Abstract
Background

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause of chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. Treatment with first generation protease inhibitors (PI)+peg-interferon (pegIFN) and ribavirin (RBV) achieved sustained virologic response (SVR) rates of 65-75% but was associated with multiple side effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate safety and efficacy of Ombitasvir/Paritaprevir/Ritonavir and Dasabuvir (3D)±RBV in HCV genotype 1 patients that failed previous treatment with first generation PIs.

Methods

An investigator-initiated, open-label, multi-centre clinical trial. HCV Genotype 1 patients who were previously null/partial responders or relapsers to telaprevir, boceprevir or simepravir+pegIFN/RBV and met eligibility criteria were included. 3D±RBV were administrated for 12 or 24 weeks according to label. The primary outcome was antiviral response (SVR12); Secondary outcomes were patient reported outcomes, adverse events and resistance associated variants.

Results

Thirty-nine patients initiated treatment according to study protocol (59% men, age 54.0±8.7 years, BMI 28.7±4.5 kg/m 2 ). Thirty-seven (94.9%) completed the study. Thirty-five patients had genotype 1b (9 cirrhotics) and 4 had genotype 1a (2 cirrhotics). Intention-to-treat SVR12 was 92.3% and per-protocol SVR12 was 97.3%. The rate of advanced fibrosis (FibroScan ® score F3-4) declined from 46.2% to 25.7% (P=0.045). Abnormal ALT levels declined from 84.6% to 8.6% (P<0.001). Seven patients (17.9%) experienced serious adverse events (3 Psychiatric admissions, 1 pneumonia, 1 ankle fracture, 2 palpitations), and 12 patients (30.8%) experienced self-reported adverse events, mostly weakness.

Conclusion

3D±RBV is safe and effective in achieving SVR among patients with HCV genotype 1 who failed previous first-generation PI treatment.

Published: February 2020

Abstract
Background: Recent study found that vitamin D before conception was considered as a potential additional determinant for achieving pregnancy and live births. The study aimed to evaluate the serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels and its affecting factors among preconception fertile women.
Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 410 women aged 22-44 years who attended a preconception genetic counseling clinic from January 2018 to May 2019. Sociodemographic characteristics and reproductive history of women were collected, and height and weight were measured. Serum 25(OH)D concentration was assayed with chemiluminescence immunoassay. Descriptive statistics were used to examine serum 25(OH)D concentration, and socio-demographic characteristics and reproductive history among preconception women. Determinants of vitamin D deficiency and its affecting factors were assessed using χ2 test.
Results: Findings showed 84.4% of women had serum 25(OH)D concentration below 20 ng/mL. Women working indoors as well as without a history of childbirth had significantly lower 25(OH)D levels compared with those non-working individuals and having delivered a previous child (both P <0.05). The 25(OH)D levels were the lowest in winter than in spring, summer, and autumn (all P <0.001). Women in winter have significantly elevated OR of 5.00 (95%CI 1.75–14.25) to develop vitamin D deficiency. Seasonal variation in serum 25(OH)D levels was not present in non-working individuals and women aged 31-44 years.
Conclusions: Vitamin D deficiency is common among preconception women especially nulliparous women and working women, which propose to screen serum 25(OH)D on preconception evaluation and emphasize need vitamin D supplements and get sunshine exposure.

Abstract
Background: Adults with chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, or lung disease are more likely to develop complications from a number of vaccine-preventable diseases, including influenza and pneumonia. In this study, we use the data from a chronic disease management information system in Shanghai to estimate vaccination coverage and characterize predictors of seasonal influenza and 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) vaccination among people with chronic disease in Shanghai. Methods: The Shanghai Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have information systems related to chronic disease management, hospital records, and immunizations. Data from individuals with hypertension, diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were abstracted during July 2017. The main outcome was coverage of pneumococcal and influenza vaccination. Vaccination coverage was calculated across demographic groups. Significance in bivariate associations was assessed through Pearson’s chi-square tests, and in multivariable models through logistic regression models with a forward stepwise method to select variables. Results: In the sample of 2,531,227 individuals ≥15 years, 22.8% were vaccinated for pneumonia from January 2013 to July 2017, and the vaccination coverage of influenza in the 2016/17 influenza season was 0.4%. Vaccination coverage was highest in those 70-79 and lowest in those younger than 60. Compared to urban areas, uptake in rural areas was higher for pneumonia vaccination (OR: 2.43, 95% CI: 2.41, 2.45), but lower for influenza vaccination (OR: 0.55, 95% CI: 0.51, 0.59). Having a greater number of chronic diseases was associated with higher likelihood of pneumonia vaccination (3 vs 1: OR: 1.68, 95% CI: 1.64, 1.71), but this relationship was not statistically significant for influenza vaccination. Conclusions: We found low levels with of pneumococcal vaccination, and extremely low uptake of influenza vaccination among individuals with high risk conditions in Shanghai who should be priority groups targeted for vaccination. Interventions could be designed to target groups with low uptake – like younger adults, and individuals who have not yet retired.

Abstract
Background: To preserve fertility or integrity of organs was on the rise for the most women with adenomyosis. Adenomyomectomy is now a widely applied conservative surgery, however relapse is a serious problem after operation. Postoperative treatment, such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) has been suggested to result in reducing the recurrence rate in patients. However, there is still a lack of evidence from randomized clinical trials comparing the efficacy of GnRHa for decreasing the postoperative recurrence rate. Method/Design：Relapse after conservative surgery combined with Triptorelin Acetate versus conservative surgery only in women with focal adenomyosis is a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial. The primary outcome is relapse accessed with Visual Analogue Scale (VRS) and Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Pictorial blood loss assessment chart (PBAC) score and the size of uterus and lesion are measured by two/three-dimensional color doppler ultrasonography (2D/3D-CDUS) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The secondary outcomes include quality of life, clinical pregnancy, ovarian reserve, and adverse events, assessing by Short Form (36) Health Survey and Female Sexual Function index, serum follicle-stimulating hormone, estradiol levels and anti-muellerian hormone and so on. All these indexes are measured at 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 months after conservative surgery. Discussion：The result of this large multicenter randomized trial will provide evidence for one of the strategies of long-term management in focal adenomyosis after conservative operation.

Published: February 2020

Abstract
Background

Most studies have showed that maternal depression is associated with pregnancy complications. However, there were limited evidences in Chinese population. We examined the associations of antenatal depression symptoms with pregnancy outcomes, especially for low birth weight.

Methods

A total of 1377 singleton pregnant women were recruited from Nanshan Maternity & Child Healthcare Hospital of Shenzhen in this prospective cohort study. Depression symptoms were assessed by the Edinburgh postnatal depression scale (EPDS) questionnaire in the second trimester of gestation; cut-points for the indication of antenatal depression were ≧12 scores in this study. Socio-demographic data, life-style and pregnancy outcomes were collected through Shenzhen Maternity & Child Healthcare database. The risks of adverse outcomes in pregnant women with antenatal depression were determined by multivariate logistic regression and represented as odds ratio(OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).

Results

Of the 1377 subjects, the prevalence of antenatal depression was 19.1%. The EPDS scores were 13.8±2.0 and 6.5±2.9 ( P <0.001) in subjects with and without antenatal depression, respectively. After adjustment for maternal age, education, parity, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), residential area, fetal gender, an EPDS score≥12 (versus. <12) was associated with an increased risk for low birth weight(odds ratio: 2.05, 95% CI: 1.12-4.64), but not for preterm birth, large for gestational age, small for gestational age or macrosomia.

Conclusion

Pregnant women presenting antenatal depressive symptoms are at elevated risk of low birth weight. Mental health problems of pregnancy should be addressed for the prevention of low birth weight.
Efficacy of acupuncture in improving the symptoms and the quality of life of patients with moderate or severe acne vulgaris: a protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Authors: Jiao Ruimin , Huang Man , Zhang Weina , Liu Zhishun 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Background : Acne vulgaris (AV) is a common chronic dermatologic disease that tends to impair the appearance and the quality of life (QoL) of patients. Although several trials have indicated the effectiveness of acupuncture for treatment of patients with AV, the results of these trials have been contested owing to potential bias in their design. Thus, there is a lack of robust data to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture in patients with AV. In addition, none of the previous clinical trials of acupuncture therapy for AV used QoL as a primary outcome or employed a sham acupuncture control arm. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of acupuncture on the symptoms and the QoL of patients with moderate or severe AV. Methods/design: One hundred eligible participants with AV will be randomly assigned to acupuncture or sham acupuncture groups (1:1 allocation). All participants will receive 4-week treatment comprising of a total of 12 sessions (3 sessions per week). The primary outcome will be change from baseline in the Skindex-16 scale total score at treatment completion. The secondary outcomes will be: Skindex-16 subscale score; the Dermatology Life Quality Index scale total score; the total lesion count and inflammatory lesion count; visual analogue scale scores for assessment of itch and pain; patient expectations of acupuncture; and the blinding of the effect of sham acupuncture. Follow-up evaluation will be performed at weeks 16 and 28. All outcome analyses will be performed in the intention-to-treat population. Discussion: We expect to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture in ameliorating the symptoms and improving the QoL of patients with moderate or severe AV compared with sham acupuncture with more robust evidence. The limitations of the trial design are its single center scope, relatively small sample size, and lack of blinding of the acupuncturists. Trial Registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR-1900023649 (Date of registration: Jan 2, 2019). Keywords: acupuncture, acne vulgaris, quality of life, randomized-controlled trial, protocol.
