Published: June 2021

PurposeThis study intends to explore the safety and effectiveness of the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in the perioperative care of patients with supratentorial tumors.MethodsA total of 151 supratentorial tumor patients were enrolled in this study, and they were divided into control group (n = 75) and observation group (n = 76) according to the random number table method. Patients in the control group received routine neurosurgery care, and patients in the observation group received enhanced recovery after surgery care. The incidence of perioperative complications, postoperative hospital stays, early postoperative eating time, catheter removal time, and time to get out of bed were observed for the two groups of patients, and the quality of postoperative recovery was evaluated.ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference in the basic data of the two groups of patients, such as age, gender, lesion location, and condition (P&gt;0.05), and they were comparable. The observation group’s postoperative eating time, catheter removal time, and time to get out of bed were significantly earlier than those of the control group. Postoperative hospital stays and hospitalization expenses were less than those of the control group. There was a statistically significant difference in postoperative hospital stay between the two groups (P&lt;0.05).ConclusionApplying the ERAS concept to implement perioperative care for patients with supratentorial tumors is safe and effective. It can not only reduce after-surgical stress and accelerate postoperative recovery, but also shorten hospital stays and reduce hospital costs. It is worthy of clinical application.

Background and AimsBiliary atresia (BA) is an idiopathic neonatal cholestasis and is the most common indication in pediatric liver transplantation (LT). Previous studies have suggested that the gut microbiota (GM) in BA is disordered. However, the effect of LT on gut dysbiosis in patients with BA has not yet been elucidated.MethodsPatients with BA (n = 16) and healthy controls (n = 10) were recruited. In the early life of children with BA, Kasai surgery is a typical procedure for restoring bile flow. According to whether BA patients had previously undergone Kasai surgery, we divided the post-LT patients into the with-Kasai group (n = 8) and non-Kasai group (n = 8). Fecal samples were collected in both the BA and the control group; among BA patients, samples were obtained again 6 months after LT. A total of 40 fecal samples were collected, of which 16 were pre-LT, 14 were post-LT (8 were with-Kasai, 6 were non-Kasai), and 10 were from the control group. Metagenomic sequencing was performed to evaluate the GM.ResultsThe Kruskal-Wallis test showed a statistically significant difference in the number of genes between the pre-LT and the control group, the pre-LT and the post-LT group (P &lt; 0.05), but no statistical difference between the post-LT and the control group. Principal coordinate analysis also showed that the microbiome structure was similar between the post-LT and control group (P &gt; 0.05). Analysis of the GM composition showed a significant decrease in Serratia, Enterobacter, Morganella, Skunalikevirus, and Phifllikevirus while short chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing bacteria such as Roseburia, Blautia, Clostridium, Akkermansia, and Ruminococcus were increased after LT (linear discriminant analysis &gt; 2, P &lt; 0.05). However, they still did not reach the normal control level. Concerning functional profiles, lipopolysaccharide metabolism, multidrug resistance, polyamine biosynthesis, GABA biosynthesis, and EHEC/EPEC pathogenicity signature were more enriched in the post-LT group compared with the control group. Prior Kasai surgery had a specific influence on the postoperative GM.ConclusionLT partly improved the GM in patients with BA, which provided new insight into understanding the role of LT in BA.

Objective:The majority of combat-related head injuries are associated with blast exposure. While Veterans with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) report cognitive complaints and exhibit poorer neuropsychological performance, there is little evidence examining the effects of subconcussive blast exposure, which does not meet clinical symptom criteria for mTBI during the acute period following exposure. We compared chronic effects of combat-related blast mTBI and combat-related subconcussive blast exposure on neuropsychological performance in Veterans.Methods:Post-9/11 Veterans with combat-related subconcussive blast exposure (n= 33), combat-related blast mTBI (n= 26), and controls (n= 33) without combat-related blast exposure, completed neuropsychological assessments of intellectual and executive functioning, processing speed, and working memory via NIH toolbox, assessment of clinical psychopathology, a retrospective account of blast exposures and non-blast-related head injuries, and self-reported current medication. Huber Robust Regressions were employed to compare neuropsychological performance across groups.Results:Veterans with combat-related blast mTBI and subconcussive blast exposure displayed significantly slower processing speed compared with controls. After adjusting for post-traumatic stress disorder and depressive symptoms, those with combat-related mTBI exhibited slower processing speed than controls.Conclusion:Veterans in the combat-related blast mTBI group exhibited slower processing speed relative to controls even when controlling for PTSD and depression. Cognition did not significantly differ between subconcussive and control groups or subconcussive and combat-related blast mTBI groups. Results suggest neurocognitive assessment may not be sensitive enough to detect long-term effects of subconcussive blast exposure, or that psychiatric symptoms may better account for cognitive sequelae following combat-related subconcussive blast exposure or combat-related blast mTBI.

Published: June 2021

Purpose: The relationship between the selective parathyroid gland (PG) autotransplantation and hypoparathyroidism is still not completely clear. The aim was to ascertain whether the number of autotransplanted PGs affected the incidence of hypoparathyroidism and recovery of parathyroid function in the long-term for patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).Methods: A retrospective cohort study included all patients with PTC who had underwent primary total thyroidectomy with central neck dissection between January 2013 and December 2017. The patients were divided into three groups (0, 1, and 2 PGs autotransplanted, respectively).Results: Of the 2,477 patients, 634 (25.6%) received no PG autotransplantation, 1,078 (43.5%) and 765 (30.9%) were autotransplanted 1 and 2 PGs, respectively, and the incidence of permanent hypoparathyroidism (&gt;1 year) was 1.7%, 0.7%, and 0.4% (P = 0.0228). Both 1 or 2 PGs autotransplanted increased the incidence of transient biochemical hypoparathyroidism (odds ratio [OR], 1.567; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.258–1.953; P &lt; 0.0001; OR, 2.983; 95% CI, 2.336–3.810; P &lt; 0.0001, respectively) but reduced the incidence of permanent hypoparathyroidism (OR, 0.373; 95% CI, 0.145–0.958; P = 0.0404; OR, 0.144; 95% CI, 0.037–0.560; P = 0.0052, respectively). Both 1 or 2 PGs autotransplanted did not independently influence the occurrence of hypocalcemia symptoms.Conclusion: Selective parathyroid autotransplantation is less likely to lead to post-operative symptomatic hypocalcemia, although it could lead to a transient decrease in parathyroid hormone. However, in the long run, it is still an effective strategy to preserve parathyroid function.
Shading and Masking of PV Collectors on Horizontal and Sloped Planes Facing South and North—A Comparative Study
Authors: Swaid Saeed , Appelbaum Joseph , Aronescu Avi 
Published: June 2021

With the increase in PV system installations, the available free land and rooftops for these systems may become scarcer, and therefore sloped fields facing the north may be utilized for that purpose. In deployments of PV collectors in multiple rows, either on horizontal or sloped planes, the second and subsequent rows are subject to two effects: shading and masking. Both effects reduce the electric energy generated by the PV systems. Multiple rows of collectors are deployed on horizontal planes and on sloped planes facing south, and literature on the topic has been published. No literature deals analytically with deployments of PV fields on north-facing slopes in the northern hemisphere, to the best of our knowledge. The present study develops explicit analytical expressions for the shadow height and length cast on a collector row by a row in front in multiple-row PV systems installed on slopes facing north. In addition, analytical expressions are developed for row spacing and sky view factors, altogether leading consequently to the determination of shading and masking losses. Having the developed expressions, a comparison was made between PV deployments on north-facing sloped planes to PV deployments on horizontal and south-facing slopes regarding shading and masking losses. The main finding is that the percentage of masking losses (diffuse radiation) may exceed the percentage of shading losses (beam radiation) in PV fields. At the local site 32∘ N, collector inclination angle β=25∘ and sloped-plane ε=10∘, for example, the percentage of masking losses for a horizontal plane is 6.90%; for a sloped plane facing south, the losses are 5.39%, and for a sloped plane facing north, the losses are 6.86%. In comparison to the masking losses, the percentage of shading losses for the horizontal plane is 0.83%; for the sloped plane facing south, the losses are 0.42%, and for the sloped plane facing north, the losses are 1.37%.

Interreligious dialogue in the Polish lands in the 18th century
Authors: Marcinkowski Roman 
Published: June 2021

Abstract: Dov Ber of Bolechov (1723-1805), Jewish wine merchant and polyglot, known for his dispute with the Frankists in Lwów (Lemberg) in 1759, left the Hebrew manuscripts of his two main works: זכרונות ר׳ דוב מבולחוב (The Memoirs of Dov Ber of Bolechov) and iדברי בינה (Understanding Words). In the former work he describes his life story and the story of his family but also the history of Jews in Eastern Galicia, writing also about important events from the history of Poland, and his description as an outside observer seems to be reliable. In the latter work Dov Ber reveals his attitude towards other religions, especially towards Christianity, and the defence of Rabbinic Judaism and its main book Talmud, or more precisely, of the complete reliability of the Oral Torah, is the leitmotif of Diwre binah. Can we speak of religious dialogue in the 18th century?
The purpose of the paper is to present Christian-Jewish relations in the Polish lands, in particular in Eastern Galicia in the 18th century from a Jewish perspective in the description of Dov Ber of Bolechov.
Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński – a man of dialogue
Authors: Mazanka Paweł 
Published: June 2021

Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński was not only an “unbreakable Primate”, but above all, a man of dialogue. He was able to meet every person and to talk to them. In his conversations, he listened patiently, he did not impose his opinion and he was mostly trying to seek for common levels of agreement. According to him, the greatest wisdom is to be able to unite, not to divide.
The article indicates some sources and forms of this dialogue. It was a supernatural source and a natural one. The first one is a permanent dialogue of the Primate with God, as well as with the Blessed Mother and with saints. Cardinal Wyszyński was a man of deep prayer, and he undeniably took from this source strength for everyday meetings, conversations, and making decisions. The second crucial source was his philosophico-theological education. As a Christian personalist, the Primate took from the achievements of such thinkers as Aristotle, St. Thomas, St. Augustin, as well as J. Maritain, G. Marcel, J. Woroniecki, and W. Korniłowicz.
The article discusses some aspects of dialogue with people, taking into account, above all, two social groups: youth, and , and representatives of the communist state power. Presenting Cardinal Wyszyński as a man of dialogue seems to be very useful and topical nowadays because of different controversies and disputes occurring in our state, in our Church and in relationships between the older and the younger generation.

Published: June 2021

The objective of this study is to assess heavy metals, copper, cadmium and lead, uptake by food crops andvegetables grown in the greater Bangkok Metropolitan Region in Thailand. The three heavy metals were detected in three types of vegetables cultivated in three provinces Pathum Thani, Ayutthaya, and Nonthaburi representing Greater Bangkok Metropolitan Region (GBMR). An Inductively Coupled Plasma method was used to estimate and evaluate the levels of these metals’ concentration in the vegetables, soil, water, manure, and chemical fertilizer. The physical and chemical characterizations of which were conducted to compare the heavy metals concentrations with similar characteristics. Heavy metals concentrations were compared both in wetand dry season. Moreover, the edible and non-edible parts of the vegetables were also considered for the comparative study and found a significant difference in copper (Cu) concentrations in morning glory.The concentrations of Cu were found in edible and non-edible parts were 0.38 and 1.10 ug/g respectively. To account the flow of heavy metals concentration in certain location, a mass balance analysis was conducted for the three different provinces, and found that about 18 mg of Cu accumulated in all three provinces. The cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) levels were found to be insignificant. The contributions of the vegetables to the daily intake of the heavy metals from the vegetables were determined.

A man with a master plan: Steno’s observations on earth’s history
Authors: Dominici Stefano 
Published: June 2021

We present specific sources, including specimens of the Medicean cabinet and geological outcrops in Tuscany, probably used by Nicolaus Steno to build a theory on the origin of organic fossils, crystals and sedimentary strata, in order to construct the history of the Earth based on universal geometric principles. Phenomena he observed in Tuscany and in precedeing travels were revealing a sequence of events consistent with the biblical account. We propose that he devised his method to reconstruct a chronology of primordial events to demonstrate the historicity of the biblical creation in contrast to unorthodox thinking. This had been spreading in philosophical circles of northern Europe since the 1650s, circles frequented by Steno before his arrival in Tuscany in 1666. Steno knew in advance what places to visit to find fossils from literature such as Michele Mercati’s Metallotheca. This was a manuscript owned by the Florentine Carlo Dati, whom Steno probably heard about while in Paris in 1664-1665. In Tuscany he soon formed a tight interaction on matters regarding the interpretation of fossils with the local community of learned men. These included Giovanni Alfonso Borelli who was asked by Prince Leopoldo de’ Medici to provide Steno with fossils from Sicily and Malta. Steno’s theory and scale-independent, geometrical method of inquiry of geological objects found in Tuscany is hinted at in his Canis Carchariae Dissectum Caput, a geological essay completed in a few months in 1666. The theory was published in its most complete form in the so-called Prodromus of 1669. In both works he demonstrated that fossils in younger strata in the Tuscan hills, such as shark teeth and molluscan shells, have an origin analogous to solids which living animals form. In both essays he explicitly related the deposition of strata with marine fossils to the biblical flood, an idea foreshadowed in his oldest known manuscript of 1659, when he was a student in Copenhagen. He found no fossils in older sandstones of the Apennines and understood those strata to have formed before the creation of life. These discoveries and other observations he made in Tuscany were, for Steno, the final proof that natural philosophy and biblical revelation disclose in synergy the mysteries of God’s creation.
