Published: December 2021

Introduction
Since the discovery of vitamin D (Vit. D) in 1922, a plethora of researches has been conducted on it describing its role in many physiological and pathological processes.

Aim
This research targeted to assess both seminal and serum Vit. D levels in Egyptian males and to establish the relation between both serum and seminal Vit. D and the age, residence, education, marital and fertility states, and semen parameters of men in our community.

Patients and methods
A prospective cross-sectional hospital-based study targeted men who attended the andrology clinic during the period from the beginning of May 2019 to the end of August 2019 with various complaints. All participants were subjected to conventional semen analysis using the WHO 2010 as a reference. Both serum and seminal Vit. D levels were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique.

Results
The study included 100 male participants. Their age ranged from 20.0 to 50.0 years, with a mean±SD of 34.97±8.37 years. Most of them were from rural areas of Upper Egypt (60 vs. 40% from urban areas). The participants were classified into groups according to semen analysis using the WHO 2010 criteria. Serum Vit. D deficiency, insufficiency, and normal levels were observed in 4, 25, and 71% of participants, respectively. Seminal Vit. D sufficiency and insufficiency were reported in 83 and 17%, respectively. Both serum and seminal Vit. D levels had nonsignificant correlations between their levels and all semen parameters.

Conclusion
As most Egyptian men are subjected to sunny climate of our country, the prevalence of Vit. D deficiency is low in both serum and seminal fluid. The results of the current study did not support any evidence for the role of Vit. D in semen parameters or male fertility status.
Serum interleukin 15 level may serve as a new marker for alopecia areata
Authors: Omar Nehal M. , Ghanem Bothaina M. , Abdelsalam Maha , Elmogy Mohammed H. 
Published: December 2021

Background
Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune form of nonscarring hair loss that may affect any hair-bearing area. It is one of the most common forms of hair loss seen by dermatologists. The serum level of interleukin 15 (IL-15) is elevated in AA; subsequently, IL-15 limits the suppressive effect of regulatory T cells and activates CD8+NKG2D+ T cells to attack the cells of the hair bulb and initiate AA. Inhibiting IL-15 activity might be a breaking new therapeutic strategy in the treatment of AA.

Patients and methods
Serum IL-15 levels were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for 30 patients with active AA (group A), 30 patients with stable AA (group B), and 60 healthy participants of age-matched and sex-matched controls (group C).

Results
Serum levels of IL-15 were significantly increased in patients with AA and showed a significant positive correlation with severity (Severity of Alopecia Tool score) and activity of the disease. Receiver operating characteristics curve detected the validity of serum IL-15 in differentiating patients with AA from controls. The best cutoff point for IL-15 was determined to be more than or equal to 7.66 pg/ml, which was able to predict AA with 98.3 sensitivity and 100% specificity. Receiver operating characteristics curve of IL-15 was also conducted to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of serum IL-15 as a diagnostic index for discrimination between active and stable AA cases, and the best cutoff point for IL-15 was determined to be more than or equal to 21.2 pg/ml, which was able to predict active AA, with 93.3 sensitivity and 100% specificity. Higher IL-15 levels were associated with prediction of severity and activity of AA.

Conclusion
Serum IL-15 may represent a new marker for AA diagnosis as well as a predictor of the disease severity and activity.
Trappin-2/Elafin and Clusterin serum levels in pemphigus vulgaris and correlation with the severity score
Authors: Aya Badran Y. , Rofaida Shehata Refaat , Alaa Abd-Elkader S. , Amira Kamel A. , Fatma Abd-Elsamea S. , Ahmed Gomaa S. 
Published: December 2021

Background
Trappin-2/Elafin is a 9.9 KDa molecule released from its precursor Preproelafin that exists principally in immune cells, skin, the lungs, the vagina, and other organs. Clusterin is a heterodimeric glycoprotein that plays a major role in many biological processes such as interaction with lipids, apoptosis regulation, weakening of complement activation, toxin removal, response to damage, and stress as well as autoimmune damage.
Both Trappin-2/Elafin and Clusterin serum levels have been studied in various immunologically mediated dermatological and nondermatological diseases. However, it still unknown whether their circulating levels are altered in pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and whether they play a role in this disease.

Objective
This study aimed to elucidate the potential link between both Trappin-2/Elafin and Clusterin levels and PV through a quantitative assessment of their serum levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and also to detect their possible correlations with PV severity using the pemphigus disease area index.

Patients and methods
Fifty patients with PV and 40 matched healthy controls were enrolled in this study. After a full assessment of history and complete dermatological examination, the severity score was calculated using pemphigus disease area index, and then serum samples were collected and subjected to quantitative measurements of serum Trappin-2/Elafin and Clusterin levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Results
Serum levels of both Trappin-2/Elafin and Clusterin were significantly higher in the patients than in the controls (P<0.001); still, their levels were not correlated with the severity of the disease.

Conclusion
The finding indicates that both Trappin-2/Elafin and Clusterin serum levels become elevated in patients with PV; however, the increase is not specific for the disease. None of the markers are correlated with the severity score of PV. Increased Trappin-2/Elafin levels indicate the existence of chronic inflammation, autoimmunity and skin or other system damage. Increased Clusterin levels suggest autoimmune damage, stress or transforming growth factor stimulation.

Published: December 2021

Objetivo: Analisar estudos que avaliaram a relação do ambiente alimentar com o excesso de peso em adultos.
Metodologia: Os artigos foram selecionados por meio da busca no Pubmed utilizando os descritores e suas combinações: “obesity”, “built environment”, “food environment”, “food intake” e “food consumption”. Os critérios de inclusão foram: artigos originais realizados com adultos, em zona urbana e publicados nos últimos 10 anos. A decisão de inclusão ou exclusão dos artigos, de acordo com os critérios de elegibilidade, foi realizada, separadamente, por dois avaliadores e adotada reavaliação para os resultados divergentes, sendo selecionados 25 artigos que avaliaram quantitativamente o ambiente alimentar e sua relação com o excesso de peso em adultos.
Resultados: Os estudos revisados utilizaram desenho transversal e, na sua maioria, com dados obtidos por fontes secundárias e buffer como unidade de vizinhança. A prevalência do excesso de peso variou de 41,7 a 62,3% e os fatores ambientais associados à essa maior prevalência foram as mercearias, os restaurantes fast food, as lojas de doces e os comércios de alimentos não saudáveis.
Conclusão: A heterogeneidade na definição de vizinhança e na obtenção dos dados individuais e do ambiente dificultam a comparação entre os resultados dos estudos e pode explicar as associações divergentes encontradas. Mais estudos são necessários para avaliar aspectos do ambiente alimentar do trabalho, do acesso, do custo dos alimentos e dos hábitos alimentares da população para que seja estabelecida uma associação mais consistente entre o excesso de peso e o ambiente alimentar.
Unraveling pathways of elevated ozone induced by the 2020 lockdown in Europe by an observationally constrained regional model using TROPOMI

Published: December 2021

Abstract. Questions about how emissions are changing during the COVID-19
lockdown periods cannot be answered by observations of atmospheric trace gas
concentrations alone, in part due to simultaneous changes in atmospheric
transport, emissions, dynamics, photochemistry, and chemical feedback. A
chemical transport model simulation benefiting from a multi-species
inversion framework using well-characterized observations should
differentiate those influences enabling to closely examine changes in
emissions. Accordingly, we jointly constrain NOx and VOC emissions
using well-characterized TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) HCHO and NO2 columns during the months
of March, April, and May 2020 (lockdown) and 2019 (baseline). We observe a
noticeable decline in the magnitude of NOx emissions in March 2020
(14 %–31 %) in several major cities including Paris, London, Madrid, and
Milan, expanding further to Rome, Brussels, Frankfurt, Warsaw, Belgrade,
Kyiv, and Moscow (34 %–51 %) in April. However, NOx emissions remain at
somewhat similar values or even higher in some portions of the UK, Poland,
and Moscow in March 2020 compared to the baseline, possibly due to the
timeline of restrictions. Comparisons against surface monitoring stations
indicate that the constrained model underrepresents the reduction in surface
NO2. This underrepresentation correlates with the TROPOMI frequency
impacted by cloudiness. During the month of April, when ample TROPOMI
samples are present, the surface NO2 reductions occurring in polluted
areas are described fairly well by the model (model: −21 ± 17 %,
observation: −29 ± 21 %). The observational constraint on VOC
emissions is found to be generally weak except for lower latitudes. Results
support an increase in surface ozone during the lockdown. In April, the
constrained model features a reasonable agreement with maximum daily 8 h
average (MDA8) ozone changes observed at the surface (r=0.43), specifically
over central Europe where ozone enhancements prevail (model: +3.73 ± 3.94 %, +1.79 ppbv,
observation: +7.35 ± 11.27 %, +3.76 ppbv). The model suggests that physical processes (dry deposition,
advection, and diffusion) decrease MDA8 surface ozone in the same month on
average by −4.83 ppbv, while ozone production rates dampened by largely
negative JNO2[NO2]-kNO+O3[NO][O3] become less negative,
leading ozone to increase by +5.89 ppbv. Experiments involving fixed
anthropogenic emissions suggest that meteorology contributes to 42 %
enhancement in MDA8 surface ozone over the same region with the remaining
part (58 %) coming from changes in anthropogenic emissions. Results
illustrate the capability of satellite data of major ozone precursors to
help atmospheric models capture ozone changes induced by abrupt emission
anomalies.
Urban aerosol chemistry at a land–water transition site during summer – Part 2: Aerosol pH and liquid water content
Authors: Battaglia Jr. Michael A. , Balasus Nicholas , Ball Katherine , Caicedo Vanessa , Delgado Ruben , Carlton Annmarie G. , Hennigan Christopher J. 
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Particle acidity (aerosol pH) is an important driver of atmospheric chemical processes and the resulting effects on human and environmental
health. Understanding the factors that control aerosol pH is critical when enacting control strategies targeting specific outcomes. This study
characterizes aerosol pH at a land–water transition site near Baltimore, MD, during summer 2018 as part of the second Ozone Water-Land Environmental
Transition Study (OWLETS-2) field campaign. Inorganic fine-mode aerosol composition, gas-phase NH3 measurements, and all relevant
meteorological parameters were used to characterize the effects of temperature, aerosol liquid water (ALW), and composition on predictions of
aerosol pH. Temperature, the factor linked to the control of NH3 partitioning, was found to have the most significant effect on aerosol pH
during OWLETS-2. Overall, pH varied with temperature at a rate of −0.047 K−1 across all observations, though the sensitivity was
−0.085 K−1 for temperatures > 293 K. ALW had a minor effect on pH, except at the lowest ALW levels
(< 1 µg m−3), which caused a significant increase in aerosol acidity (decrease in pH). Aerosol pH was generally insensitive to
composition (SO42-, SO42-:NH4+, total NH3 (Tot-NH3) = NH3 + NH4+), consistent
with recent studies in other locations. In a companion paper, the sources of episodic NH3 events (95th percentile concentrations,
NH3 > 7.96 µg m−3) during the study are analyzed; aerosol pH was higher by only ∼ 0.1–0.2 pH units
during these events compared to the study mean. A case study was analyzed to characterize the response of aerosol pH to nonvolatile cations (NVCs)
during a period strongly influenced by primary Chesapeake Bay emissions. Depending on the method used, aerosol pH was estimated to be either weakly
(∼ 0.1 pH unit change based on NH3 partitioning calculation) or strongly (∼ 1.4 pH unit change based on
ISORROPIA thermodynamic model predictions) affected by NVCs. The case study suggests a strong pH gradient with size during the event and underscores the need to evaluate assumptions of aerosol mixing state applied to pH calculations. Unique features of this study, including the urban land–water transition site and the strong influence of NH3 emissions from both agricultural and industrial sources, add to the understanding of aerosol pH and its controlling factors in diverse
environments.
Calibrating 1D hydrodynamic river models in the absence of cross-section geometry using satellite observations of water surface elevation and river width
Authors: Jiang Liguang , Westphal Christensen Silja , Bauer-Gottwein Peter 
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Hydrodynamic modeling has been increasingly used to simulate water surface elevation which is important for flood prediction and risk assessment. Scarcity and inaccessibility of in situ bathymetric information have hindered hydrodynamic model development at continental-to-global scales. Therefore, river cross-section geometry is commonly approximated by highly simplified generic shapes. Hydrodynamic river models require both bed geometry and roughness as input parameters. Simultaneous calibration of shape parameters and roughness is difficult, because often there are trade-offs between them. Instead of parameterizing cross-section geometry and hydraulic roughness separately, this study introduces a parameterization of 1D hydrodynamic models by combining cross-section geometry and roughness into one conveyance parameter. Flow area and conveyance are expressed as power laws of flow depth, and they are found to be linearly related in log–log space at reach scale. Data from a wide range of river systems show that the linearity approximation is globally applicable. Because the two are expressed as power laws of flow depth, no further assumptions about channel geometry are needed. Therefore, the hydraulic inversion approach allows for calibrating flow area and conveyance curves in the absence of direct observations of bathymetry and hydraulic roughness. The feasibility and performance of the hydraulic
inversion workflow are illustrated using satellite observations of river
width and water surface elevation in the Songhua river, China. Results show
that this approach is able to reproduce water level dynamics with root-mean-square error values of 0.44 and 0.50 m at two gauging stations, which is comparable to that achieved using a standard calibration approach. In summary, this study puts forward an alternative method to parameterize and calibrate river models using satellite observations of river width and water surface elevation.
Evaluating landslide response in a seismic and rainfall regime: a case study from the SE Carpathians, Romania

Published: December 2021

Abstract. There have been many studies exploring rainfall-induced slope failures
in earthquake-affected terrain. However, studies evaluating the potential effects of both landslide-triggering factors – rainfall and
earthquakes – have been infrequent despite rising global landslide mortality risk. The SE Carpathians, which have been subjected to many large
historical earthquakes and changing climate thus resulting in frequent
landslides, comprise one such region that has been little explored in this context. Therefore, a massive (∼9.1 Mm2) landslide, situated along the river Bâsca Rozilei, in the Vrancea seismic zone, SE Carpathians, is chosen as a case study area to achieve the aforesaid objective (evaluating the effects of both rainfall and earthquakes on landslides) using slope stability evaluation and runout simulation. The present state of the slope reveals a factor of safety in a range of 1.17–1.32 with a static condition displacement of 0.4–4 m that reaches up to 8–60 m under dynamic (earthquake) conditions. The groundwater (GW) effect further decreases the factor of safety and increases the displacement. Ground motion amplification enhances the possibility of slope surface deformation and displacements. The debris flow prediction, implying the excessive rainfall effect, reveals a flow having a 9.0–26.0 m height and 2.1–3.0 m s−1 velocity along the river channel. The predicted extent of potential debris flow is found to follow the trails possibly created by previous debris flow and/or slide events.
