Published: July 2021

Nowadays, 37.9 million people live with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the world, while about 8.1 million are not aware of their HIV-status. Chronic inflammation with damage to all organs and systems, including the organ of vision, is characteristic of HIVinfection. Often, diseases occur atypically against a background of reduced immunity that is why any doctor, including an ophthalmologist, should be ready to treat such patients.The purpose. To present a clinical case of eye damage in a patient with terminal stage of HIV-infection.Мethods. According to the Perm Regional Clinical Infectious Diseases Hospital, a retrospective analysis of medical records of the HIV-infected patient S. with the eye damage and fatal outcome was made.Results. The diagnosis of HIV-infection was first established in the presence of ophthalmological disease. The lack of timely diagnosis and adequate treatment led to the death of the patient.

Objective.To study the state of cellular immunity and local immunity in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma.Materials and methods.From 2017 to 2018 45 primary patients with gastric adenocarcinoma (25 — with stages I–III, 20 — with stage IV) received surgical / combined treatment or chemotherapy at the Blokhin Scientific Research Center of Oncology, respectively. Peripheral blood and tumor tissue were collected before starting treatment. The percentage of the degree of infiltration of tumor tissue by lymphocytes (CD45 + CD14‑TILs) was assessed by flow cytometry: T‑cells (CD3 + CD19‑TILs), B‑cells (CD3‑CD19 + TILs), NK‑cells (CD3‑CD16 + CD56 + TILs), effector cells CD16 and CD8 and their cytotoxic potential (CD16 + Perforin + TILs, CD16CTPTILs), (CD8 + Perforin + TILs; CD8CTPTILs); subpopulations of regulatory T‑cells — NKT‑cells (CD3 + CD16 + CD56 + TILs), regulatory CD4‑cells (CD4 + CD25 + CD127‑TILs) and CD8 (CD8 + CD11b‑CD28‑TILs) and parameters of systemic immunity.Intratumoral and stromal subpopulations of CD4 + TILs, CD8 + TILs, CD4 + / CD8 + TILs ratios were studied by immunohistochemistry. Also, the cellular composition of peripheral blood was investigated. The prognostic significance of immune cells, inflammation factors (neutrophil‑lymphocyte index, platelet‑lymphocyte index) and clinical characteristics (patient»s age (both by years and by groups: up to 45 years, 46–60 years, over 60 years), disease stage, differentiation (G), Lauren type and MSI status were evaluated for overall survival (OS) and progression‑free survival (PFS).Results.The factor of a favorable prognosis for PFS in patients with local and locally advanced forms of gastric cancer was an increase in the number of CD3 + CD19‑TILs (HR0.865, 95 %CI 0.782–0.957, p = 0.005), and for poor prognosis — an increase in NK‑cells; HR1.382, 95 %CI 1.087–1.758, p = 0.008. There was a negative effect of the relative content of NK‑cells, an increase in the level of neutrophils in the peripheral blood on the OS of patients with metastatic GC (HR1.42, 95 %CI 1.06–1.89, p = 0.017 and HR1.64, 95 %CI 1.12–2.40, p = 0.011). At the same time, an increase in the age of patients, the level of neutrophils and platelets (HR1.106, 95 %CI 1.002–1.199, p = 0.015; HR1.714, 95 %CI 1.063–2.764, p = 0.027 and HR1.017, 95 %CI 1.006–1.029, p = 0.003) reduce PFS in patients with metastatic gastric cancer.Conclusion.Indicators of local immunity, the cellular composition of peripheral blood, characterizing the systemic inflammatory response, as well as indicators of systemic immunity can serve as additional prognostic factors in gastric cancer.

Published: July 2021

Background and Purpose: Because of the growing incidence of Aspergillus infection,typing methods of Aspergillus species are increasingly being used. Accordingly,studying the spread and population dynamics of strains isolating from clinical and environment, from a single host to large scale ecosystems is definitely needed. In the current study, we carried out a genetic analysis of nine microsatellite loci in isolates from different regions of Iran to compare and explore the genetic diversity between environmental and clinical A. fumigatus strains.
Materials and Methods: Sixty-six clinical (n=43) and environmental (n= 23) isolates of A. fumigatus, have collected from six cities of Iran. All A. fumigatus isolates identified based on macroscopic and microscopic characters, the ability to grow at above 45°C, and confirmed using DNA sequencing of the partial b-tubulin gene.Sixty-six A. fumigatus isolates were subjected by microsatellite typing using three separate multiplex PCRs with a panel of nine short tandem repeats (STR) to evaluate the genetic relatedness.
Results: The STR typing of 66 A. fumigatus isolates revealed 38 distinct genotypes distributed among environmental and clinical isolates. We identified 12 clones including 40 different isolates representing 60% of all isolates tested, which each clone included 2–7 isolates.
Conclusion: The STR typing is considered as a valuable tool with excellent discriminatory power to study the molecular epidemiology and genotypic diversity of A.fumigatus isolates. These findings show that the high genetic diversity observed of Iranian A. fumigatus isolates with those outside Iran and formed a separate cluster.

Authors: AL-Amouri Arwa , Dwivedi Priy Brat 
Published: July 2021

Purpose of study: The corrosion behavior of mild steel and the inhibition effect of ascorbic acid (an anti-oxidant additive) on aluminum coatings on the mild steel have been studied by weight loss technique under different corrosive medium. Methodology: Tap water, 3% Na2CO3 solution, seawater and open-air were chosen as different corrosive medium at ambient temperature range of 35- 400C. Corrosion was recorded using the weight-loss method and the rate was calculated. Later similar mid steel samples were coated with Sodium Bicarbonate paste, aluminum paint with ascorbic acid additive, and aluminum paint without ascorbic acid additive, in similar corroding medium, and the corrosion rate was calculated using the weight-loss method. Main Findings: Results show that the percentage of mild steel corrosion was found to be highest in the seawater and lowest in 3% Na2CO3 solution. Sodium Bicarbonate paste reduces the corrosion rate more studies on the corrosion protection was performed by coating the mild steel surface with aluminum paint along with ascorbic acid inhibitor i.e., a green corrosion inhibitor and it was found that the weight loss data is: 85.03 g from 85.05 g, 82.39 g from 82.43 g, no weight loss and 85.73 g from 85.74 g in tap water, seawater, 3% Na2CO3 solution and air medium respectively. Thus, the addition of ascorbic acid inhibitor gave the highest inhibition efficiency for aluminum paint.

Authors: Belinda Ashioya , Beatrice Imbaya , Sulo Timothy 
Published: July 2021

Purpose of the study: The study aims to assess the influence of social distance on the tourist decision-making process on tourists visiting the Maasai Mara National Game Reserve using the construal level theory.
Methodology: Exploratory research design was used using regression equation modeling. The Borgardus social distance scale was adapted to structure the questionnaire. A sample of 157 tourists was selected. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics which were used to determine the relationship between the variables. The hypothesis was tested at a 5% level of confidence.
Main Findings: The study established that the majority of the respondents understood and indicated that social distancing influenced their choice of a destination. Social distance (R=0.580, p=0.00<0.05) had a strong positive and significant influence on the contractual level of tourist choice of a destination. It was further established that construal level accounted for up to 33.6 percent of the variance in choice of destination (R2=0.336).
Applications of this study: The study recommends that the conventional consumer behaviour model can be enhanced in decision making by incorporating the construal level of destination decision making for tourists. It will be beneficial to the tourists visiting Maasai Mara National Game Reserve, the marketers, hotels and destination owners, and the government at large.
Novelty/Originality of this study: Decision-making is central to the satisfaction of a customer that seeks value for his/her money. Though research in consumer decision-making has been conducted before its application in tourist’s destination decision-making process remains new. This study sought to bring to light this link and fill this gap in the literature.
Reflexiones en torno a la naturaleza jurídica de la subasta judicial
Authors: López Picó Rubén 
Published: July 2021

La subasta judicial se alza como una compleja institución jurídica de perfil eminentemente procesal que, pese a ello, encierra igualmente importantes aspectos de carácter sustantivo no provistos de regulación específica alguna por el Código Civil. Esta situación origina que la determinación de su naturaleza jurídica sea una cuestión especialmente controvertida y aún abierta, incluso a día de hoy, en nuestro Ordenamiento Jurídico como resultado de la necesidad de integrar tal ausencia en la figura jurídica que le sea más afín. A través del presente estudio, pretendemos dar cuenta de las distintas teorías doctrinales erigidas en torno a la controvertida naturaleza jurídica de esta misma institución; intentado alcanzar una solución de conjunto que sirva de guía interpretativa para la resolución de todos aquellos vacíos legales que existen en nuestro Ordenamiento Jurídico en lo que a los aspectos sustantivos de la subasta judicial se refiere.
