Food selection of maize weevil <i>Sitophilus Zeamais</i> (motschulsky)
Authors: Dzuong Nguyen Van , Long Khuat Dang 
Published: June 2020

The instintive behaviour exhibited by insects in the selecting food is always a matter of interests to entomologists, and it is one of the fundamental principles underlining the application of entomology to agriculture, horticulture and forestry. Food seclection is an important characteristic of insects that help them survive in periods with insufficient foods.Three grain types of food, maize grain, long-grain rice and soybean grain, were used in this sudy for detecting food selection behaviours of maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais. Grains were kept in box traps put in the different stores in Son La during 90 days. The result showed that maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais, prefered traps with maize grains (71.4%) considerably more than ones with long-grain rice (14.3%) and soybean grain (14.3%). Meanwhile, the cornsap beetle, Carpophilus dimidiatus, was mostly observed in maize grain (98.5%) and to a lesser degree, in soybean grain (1.5%); and the dried-fruit beetle, Carpophilus hemipterus, was abundantly observed in maize grain (93.1%) and less in soybean grain (6.9%). The red flour, Tribolium castaneum, also tended to select all the three food grain, i.e. maize grain: 53.5%, long-rice grain: 35.2%, and soybean grain: 11.3%.Comparing f beetle individuals captured on three types of food grains showed that the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais, is the most abundant species. The percentage this store beetle among all beetles observed in maize, soybean grains and long-rice grains were 57.0%, 84.9% and 27.6%, respectively. Interestingly, Ahasverus advena, foreign grain beetle, occurred abundantly on long-rice gain (61.7%), i.e. this grain is a suitable food for the development of this beetle.

Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disorder caused by malfunction of the branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex (BCKDH). This enzyme complex participates in the catalyzing metabolisms of the branched-chain α-ketoacids, the second step of the degradation of branched-chain amino acids. Impaired activities of the BCKAD complex lead to an increase of the levels of branched- chain amino acid such as leucine, valine, and isoleucine in the blood. In children with maple syrup urine disease, catalysis of the metabolisms of some amino acids failed to be implemented, leading to an accumulation of the amino acids which has been shown as one of the causes of neurological complications, intellectual disabilities, and nervous paralysis or even death. Pathogenic mutations normally occur in BCKDHA, BCKDHB, DBT and DLD genes which encode the E1α, E1β, and E2 subunits of the BCKDH complex. In the present study, a homozygous mutation in the BCKDHB gene (c. 1016C>T) in a pediatric patient with MSUD diagnosed at The National Hospital of Pediatrics was identified using whole exome and Sanger sequencing methods. As a result, the inheritance of the homozygous mutation related to MSUD in BCKDHB gene within the pedigree of the patient’s family was determined. The results indicated that the mutation in the BCKDHB gene was inherited from both of the patient’s parents. In addition, this finding provides an important scientific basis to researches on MSUD in the Vietnamese population.

Microelements are inorganic compounds involved in the synthesis of enzymes and biologically active substances. To evaluate the physiological responses of maize to ZnSO4 and FeSO4 under drought stress, a field experiment was conducted on maize plants grown under different soil moistures and treated with foliar ZnSO4 and FeSO4 applications. Drought stress especially at early seed growth stage significantly reduced grain yield and Fv/Fm ratio; however, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione reductase (GR) was enhanced under drought stress. Foliar applied ZnSO4 and FeSO4 boosted the grain yield under non irrigation at vegetative growth stage and at early seed growth stage, respectively. Between grain yield and MDA concentration (r=­ -0.73), superoxide dismutase (r= -0.57), peroxidase (r= -0.49), H2O2 (r= -0.67) and catalase enzyme (r= -0.42) significant and negative correlation were observed. Combined application of ZnSO4 and FeSO4 resulted in alleviation of maize plant drought stress by Zn and Fe-mediated improvement in photosynthetic attributes. In addition, the foliar application of ZnSO4 and FeSO4 regulated physiological processes in maize plants and alleviated the adverse effects of water stress. According to the results, ZnSO4 and FeSO4 could be used for improving maize growth under drought stress.

Experience of switching to NovoEight: views of people with haemophilia
Authors: Pollard Debra , Khair Kate , Holland Mike 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Management of haemophilia A requires administration of factor VIII therapy which, for those with severe haemophilia A in the UK, is predominantly self-administered at home in a prophylactic regimen to prevent or minimise bleeding. The UK undertakes a national tendering process every three years to ensure access to current and new therapies at a cost-effective price, through contracting for large volumes from individual suppliers. This means that some products may no longer be available and that new products can enter the UK market at any tendering stage.
In the latest tendering round, in 2018, more than one product was withdrawn from the UK market and a new product (NovoEight®; Novo Nordisk) was added to the prescribing list. This meant people with haemophilia having to change products. The experience of 77 people with haemophilia or their carers who changed treatment products during this process was captured by questionnaires administered by haemophilia nurses from 12 treatment centres. Overall, although people with haemophilia felt that they had little influence in decision making about changing to NovoEight, they were confident with their new treatment including packaging and accessories for administration. This was seen more in those who switched from plasma-derived products where ease of infusion was rated highly. Users’ views of haemophilia treatment should be collected at times of change to identify facilitators and barriers experienced in self-management

Resumen: Las representaciones lingüísticas de las relaciones espaciales, debido al carácter móvil del hombre y a la comprensión material del mundo en el que este habita (objetos, formas y superficies) están presentes en todas las lenguas del mundo; sin embargo, diversos estudios consultados apuntan que los hablantes describen y organizan estas relaciones de modos distintos. El presente trabajo permite mostrar que el comportamiento discursivo de la deixis espacial es de interés, tanto desde el punto de vista de la teoría gramatical como desde la óptica de su comportamiento discursivo, pues se corresponden con formas lingüísticas que adquieren plenitud referencial dentro del contexto pragmático en que son utilizadas.
Determination of the marker compounds for standardization medicinal herbal species «Pectorales tea №1» and «Proctofitol»

Published: June 2020

The State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation 14th ed. suggests to standardize herbal teas using the procedures presented in the pharmacopoeia monographs but this approach is not always relevant due to complexity of this dosage form composition.
The purpose of investigation is to estimate quality of herbal teas utilizing monographs recommended by the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation 14th ed. for the individual components of teas and suggest feasible alternative approaches to standardization of multicomponent herbal drugs.
The objects of investigation Pectorales species № 1 and Proctofitol. Detection of substances was carried out using chromatographic (TLC and HPLC) and spectrophotometric methods recommended by the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation 14th ed. for individual components measured in term of marker biological active substances or substances found in the course of quality analysis.
It has been found out that the content of flavonoids measured in terms of giperosid surpasses over the equivalent figure in terms of luteolin in the extractions from Pectorales species № 1. The content of hydroxycinnamic acids in the same tea measured in terms of rosmarinic acid surpasses over the equivalent figure in terms of chlorogenic acid. Analysis of anthracene derivates in the Proctofitol has shown that the adsorption maximum of phenolate solution of anthracene derivates (523 nm) coincides with maximum by which was calculated the mass attenuation coefficient of sennoside B (523 nm) (for chrysophanic acid = 515 nm) and the maximum of adsorption of extraction from the tea with using alcohol solution of magnesium acetate (515 nm) coincides with maximum by which was calculated the mass attenuation coefficient of glucofrangulin A. Preliminary cleaning Proctofitol off anthracene derivates allowed to estimate the content of glycyrrhizic acid more completely.
The giperosid was suggested as a marker substance for determination of flavonoids, rosmarinic acid was suggested as a standard for hydroxycinnamic acids in Pectorales species № 1. The sennoside B was suggested as a marker for estimating of content of anthracene derivates in the Proctofitol and the necessity of cleaning this tea off anthracene derivates when defining glycyrrhizic acid was proven.

Published: June 2020

Background: MCI is a transitional period between normal ageing and clinically probable early Alzheimer’s Dementia (AD). ERC volumes show early reduction in cases of MCI in comparison to the normal ageing subjects. Early cognitive impairment can be documented with ERC atrophy on MR volumetry. Aim of the study was to evaluate the volume of entorhinal cortex in patients of MCI and to compared the volume with patients of normal cognition. Secondarily, we studied changes in the volume of entorhinal cortex with increasing ageMethods: In this study 30 patients of 60 years and above with MCI and 30 controls of normal cognition (age and sex matched) underwent brain examination on 3T MRI. Volume of entorhinal cortex was measured on 1 mm thick T1 coronal oblique MR scans by manually tracing the boundaries defined by two widely used methods i.e. Insausti et al and Goncharova et al.Results: Patients with MCI showed 17.2% decline in the entorhinal cortex volume compared to controls (p value = 0.001). Patients of older age showed significantly more ERC volume reduction, reaching up to 30.4% in comparison to younger subjects suggesting atrophy of ERC in normal aging and in MCI both, but more so in patients with cognitive impairment.Conclusions: ERC atrophy was found in MCI cases more than controls, increase atrophy trend was noted with increasing age. MR volumetry may play a role for documentation of ERC atrophy in cases of MCI.
A study of lipid profile in maintenance hemodialysis patients

Published: June 2020

With increasing prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), CKD related cardiovascular diseases (CVD), end stage renal disease (ESRD) and the consequent financial burden of renal replacement therapy (RRT), the importance of CKD and its risk factors needs to be considered. Hence, lipid profile was studied in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) subjects.An observational study consisting 100 patients diagnosed as ESRD on MHD of age group 18-70 years of both sex were selected from Nephrology unit, KIMS, Hubballi. Serum lipid profile was estimated by enzymatic method, urea by GLDH- Urease method, serum creatinine by Jaffe’s method.A significant patients had low serum lipid levels with mean ± standard deviation of Total cholesterol (mg/dl) 131.93±49.75, Triacylglyceride (mg/dl) 107.53±52.36, HDL-C (mg/dl) 28.93±10.06 & LDL-C (mg/dl) 82.23±42.89 and serum creatinine (mg/dl) 8.28± 2.45 & Blood urea (mg/dl) 110.51± 37.58ESRD patients are at higher risk and it is expected to have serum lipids as per NCEP-ATP-III guidelines. In contrast to this, where these levels are associated with increased risk of CVD, decrease values in dialysis patients are strongly correlated with increased morbidity including a higher risk of cardiovascular events and death. This observation is referred as “reverse epidemiology/risk factor–paradox”. It may be due to superimposed factors like inflammation and/or malnutrition that lead to lower cholesterol levels. In addition, chronic renal failure per se, primarily affects the metabolism of HDL-C and Triacylglyceride rich lipoproteins. Despite conflicting reports, hypercholesterolemia paradoxically appears to be associated with more favorable outcome in ESRD patients.
A spectrum of ocular manifestations in HIV/AIDS Patients: A retrospective analysis at a tertiary care centre in South India
Authors: Veni Priya S 
Published: June 2020

To evaluate the prevalence of Ocular manifestations in HIV/AIDS patients and its correlation with CD4 countsThe ophthalmology OPD records of 100 HIV positive patients who attended Ophthalmology OPD(referred from ART centre in the Institute) for screening to rule out ocular manifestations in the period of Jan 2009 to Dec 2009 were evaluated retrospectively.Out of 100 patients evaluated, ocular manifestations were seen in 54%. The percentage of patients with Anterior segment manifestations, Posterior segment manifestations and Adnexal manifestations were 12.96 %, 31.48 % and 79.62% respectively. Conjunctivalmicrovasculopathy was the most common Ocular manifestations seen in 36% of the patients. HIV microangiopathy was seen in 10 % of the patients and was the most common Posterior segment manifestations. Sight threatening complications like CMV retinitis was seen in 4 % of the patients. 60.8% of patients with ocular manifestations had CD4 count less than 100 cells/cu.mm. With the decrease in the CD4 count, the prevalence of Ocular manifestations increased. Most common systemic association was Tuberculosis.Though the prevalence of ocular manifestations is low when compared with the previous studies, Sight threatening ocular manifestations are seen frequently in HIV patients due to increased longevity of the patients with HAART therapy and also due to increased duration for the immune system to mature to act against the opportunistic infections. So frequent Ophthalmic examination should be made mandatory for all HIV patients with CD 4 count &#60; 400 cells / cu.mm even if the patients are on HAART therapy.
The Cartesianism and Anti-Cartesianism of Locke’s Concept of Personal Identity
Authors: Grzeliński Adam 
Published: June 2020

Kartezjanizm i antykartezjanizm locke’owskiej koncepcji tożsamości osobowej
Niniejszy artykuł koncentruje się na zależnościach pomiędzy Locke’owskim i kartezjańskim pojmowaniem tożsamości osobowej. Wbrew częstym odczytaniom, różnica pomiędzy nimi nie daje się sprowadzić do prostego przeciwstawienia substancjalizmu i empiryzmu. Locke nie rezygnuje ze stanowiska substancjalistycznego, jednakże rozgranicza dwie sfery — naturalnego, bazującego na doświadczeniu poznania oraz filozoficznych spekulacji, w których stara się przedstawić racjonalną i zgodną ze swym programem epistemologicznym interpretację dogmatów religijnych. Krytyka Locke’a dotyczy możliwości istnienia rzeczy myślącej jako substancji istniejącej niezależnie od ciała, natomiast rozbudowaniu w stosunku do filozofii kartezjańskiej ulega opis różnicowania się doświadczenia i ludzkiej subiektywności, zaś pojęcie tożsamości osobowej zyskuje eksplikację na czterech uzupełniających się poziomach: psychologicznym, biologicznym, społeczno-prawnym i religijnym.
Thomas Hobbes’s Elements of Law and His Third Objections to Descartes’s Meditations

Published: June 2020

Elementy prawa Thomasa Hobbesa a jego zarzuty trzecie do Medytacji Kartezjusza
W niniejszym artykule staram się przedstawić oś sporu pomiędzy Hobbesem i Descartesem na gruncie Medytacji, oraz jego najważniejsze momenty. Skupiam się przede wszystkim na analizie najważniejszych postawionych przez Hobbesa zarzutów i rekonstrukcji wybranych jego poglądów, które wówczas można było odnaleźć jedynie w The Elements of Law, Natural and Politic. Dzieło to było jego pierwszą większą i spójną próbą wypowiedzi na zagadnienia teoriopoznawcze i społeczne; staram się bronić tezy, że zrozumienie treści Zarzutów wymaga znajomości owego dzieła. Dojrzała forma dzieła świadczy o tym, że Anglik już wówczas miał swoje poglądy przemyślane i mógł czuć się dość pewnie formułując z ich perspektywy uwagi krytyczne względem filozofii Descartes’a, której jak się wydaje mógł on niejedno zawdzięczać.
Prevalence of Transfusion Transmissible Infection among Healthy Blood Donors at Dongola Specialized Hospital, Sudan, 2010–2015
Authors: Abdelaziz Mohamed 
Published: June 2020

Background: Blood transfusion saves lives but carries the risk of transmission of infections. Screening donors for transfusion transmissible infection (TTI) is mandatory.
Objectives: To study the prevalence of TTI among blood donors at Dongola Specialized hospital, Northern State, Sudan.
Materials and Methods: Retrospective study performed on blood donors at the blood bank of Dongola Specialized Hospital during the period 2010–2015. Demographic data and results of screening tests for all donors in the study period were included. Data were analyzed using SPSS and results were presented in percentages.
Results: The total number of donors were 6,489, of which 6,433 (99.1%) were included in the study. All donors were males and family donors. Mean age (SD) was 27.9 (6.516) years. hepatitis B virus was detected in 85 (1.3%), syphilis in 68 (1.1%), hepatitis virus in 45 (0.7%), and human immunodeficiency virus in 3 (0.05%) donors. Coinfections of hepatitis B with syphilis and hepatitis B with hepatitis C were found in 0.05% and 0.03% of the donors, respectively.
Conclusion: The prevalence of TTI is low compared to national and international figures. These findings may reflect low prevalence rates of the studied infections in the community.
Key words: blood donors, Northern State, Sudan, transfusion transmissible infection
