Abstract
Background

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a nomogram containing multiple predictors for the survival of testicular cancer patients.
Methods

Testicular cancer patients diagnosed between 2004 and 2015 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database were selected for this study. A random sampling method was used to divide patients into training and validation cohorts, which accounted for 30% and 70% of the total sample, respectively. The nomogram was developed using the training cohort and evaluated using the C index, calibration chart, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The same method was applied to the validation cohort to verify the nomogram.
Results

Seven risk factors that affect the survival of testicular cancer patients (AJCC stage, marital status, age at diagnosis, race, SEER historic stage A, surgery status, and origin) were identified using Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. The training cohort was used to construct a nomogram. The nomogram has a higher C index (0.897) and AUC when compared with the AJCC staging system. The validation cohort was used to verify the nomogram, which has a higher C index and AUC when compared with the AJCC staging system. The results of the calibration chart of the nomogram show that the predicted survival of testicular cancer patients at 3, 5, and 10 years after diagnosis is very close to their actual survival.
Conclusions

We developed and validated a nomogram for predicting the survival rate of testicular cancer patients at 3, 5, and 10 years after diagnosis. This nomogram has better discrimination, calibration, and clinical validity than the AJCC staging system. This indicates that the nomogram can be used to predict the survival of testicular cancer patients effectively, and provide a reference for patient treatment strategies.

Abstract
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common neurological disease with disabling consequences. Social support is an important aspect of performance among patients and attention to perceived social support as a factor influencing health promotion is essential. Therefore, this study was performed with the aim to determine the relationship between spiritual well-being and perceived social support in patients with MS.Methods: This cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted on 120 patients with MS. The participants were over 18 years of age and referred to the MS Clinic of Kashani Hospital, Isfahan‎, Iran. The subjects were selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS software. P-values of less than 0.05 were considered significant.Results: The mean (SD) disease duration and age of participants were 8.1 (5.9) and 33.67 (8.7) years, respectively. Moreover, 75.9% of the participants were women and 76.1% were married. The mean score of spiritual well-being was 87.08. The mean score of perceived social support was 61.52 (14.9). Pearson correlation test indicated a direct relationship between spiritual well-being and the total score of perceived social support (r = 0.415, P < 0.001) and the emotional (r = 0.328, P = 0.004) and informational (r = 0.311, P = 0.006) dimensions, but not the instrumental dimension (r = 0.197, P = 0.081). Multiple linear regression analysis showed a significant correlation between spiritual health and social support in the emotional dimension (P < 0.05)Conclusion: This study confirmed the relation between perceived social support and spiritual well-being of people with MS. Thus, it is necessary that perceived social support, as a strong predictor of spiritual health status, is considered in the designing of health promotion interventions for patients with MS.

Abstract
Background. T-cell mediated acute rejection (aTCMR) is still an issue in kidney transplantation for it is associated with chronic rejection, graft loss, and overall worse outcomes. For these reasons, a standard non-invasive molecular tool to detect is desirable to offer a simpler monitoring of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). The purpose of our study was to examine, in peripheral blood before and after transplantation, the expression patterns of regulatory T cell (Treg)-related genes: the forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) and the two CTLA-4 isoforms (full-length and soluble) to predict aTCMR onset, de novo donor-specific antibodies (DSA) development and renal dysfunction one year after transplantation. Methods. We profiled by using a relative quantification analysis (qRT-PCR 2-∆∆CT) the circulating mRNA levels of these biomarkers in peripheral blood of 89 KTRs within the first post-transplant year (at baseline and 15, 60, 365 days after transplantation and when possible at acute rejection) and compared the results with 24 healthy controls. Results. The three mRNA levels drastically reduced 15 days after transplantation and gradually recovered at one year in comparison with baseline, with very low levels by the time of aTCMR for FOXP3 (RQ=0.445, IQR=0.086-1.264, p=0.040). Healthy controls exhibited higher FOXP3 levels than patients at baseline (median RQ: 2.132, IQR=1.664-2.895 vs. p=0.005). Noteworthy, solCTLA-4 displayed a dual profile: on the one hand, at multivariate analysis solCTLA-4 transcripts at 15 days were associated with an increased risk of aTCMR over time (HR=3.905, 95%CI: 0.958-15.916, p=0.050), and graft dysfunction at one year (AOR=3.683, 95%CI=1.165-12.079, p=0.027); on the other hand, pre-transplant levels showed a protective association with de novo DSAs development (HR=0.189, 95%CI=0.078-0.459, p<0.001). Conclusions. Peripheral blood mRNA levels of Treg-associated molecules might help shape immunosuppression, tailor monitoring and achieve a better long-term clinical course of kidney transplantation in the wake of “precision medicine”. While the potential of these molecules as a therapeutic target needs further investigation, we found out preliminary evidence that solCTLA-4 can qualify as a candidate non-invasive biomarker of cellular and humoral alloreactivity in clinical transplantation.
Molecular Evolution of APP family proteins: Rapid Evolution of the Mammalian APLP1 as a Synaptic Adhesion Molecule

Published: March 2021

Abstract
Amyloid precursor protein (APP) family members are involved in essential neuronal activities, and dysfunction of APP family members leads to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Among the APP gene family members, amyloid precursor-like protein 1 (APLP1) is selectively expressed in neurons and has specialized functions during synaptogenesis. Although a potential role for APLP1 in neuronal evolution has been indicated, its precise evolutionary and functional contributions are unknown. This study shows the molecular evolution of the vertebrate APP family based on phylogenetic analysis, while contrasting the evolutionary differences within the APP family. Phylogenetic analysis showed 15 times higher substitution rate that is driven by positive selection at the stem branch of the mammalian APLP1, resulting in dissimilar protein sequences compared to APP/APLP2. Docking simulation identified one positively selected site in APLP1 that alters the heparin-binding site, which could affect its function, and dimerization rate. Furthermore, the evolutionary rate covariation between the mammalian APP family and synaptic adhesion molecules (SAMs) was confirmed, indicating that only APLP1 has evolved to gain synaptic adhesion property. Overall, our results suggest that the enhanced synaptogenesis property of APLP1 as one of the SAMs may have played a role in mammalian brain evolution.

Abstract
Network security is subject to malicious attacks from multiple sources, and intrusion detection systems (IDS) play a key role in maintaining network security. During the training of intrusion detection models, the detection results generally have relatively large false detection rates due to the shortage of training data caused by data imbalance. To address the existing sample imbalance problem, this paper proposed a network intrusion detection algorithm based on enhanced random forest and Synthetic Minority Over-Sampling Technique (SMOTE) algorithm. Firstly, the method used a hybrid algorithm combining the K-means clustering algorithm with the SMOTE sampling algorithm to increase the number of minor samples and thus achieved a balanced data set, by which the sample features of minor samples could be learned more effectively. Secondly, preliminary prediction result was obtained by using enhanced random forest, and then the similarity matrix of network attacks was used to correct the prediction results of voting processing by the analysis of the type of network attacks. In this paper, the performance was tested using the NSL-KDD dataset with a classification accuracy of 99.72% on the training set and 78.47% on the test set. Compared with other related papers, our method has some improvement in the classification accuracy of detection.

Authors: Farsi Deema 
Published: March 2021

Background
As the world continues to advance technologically, social media (SM) is becoming an essential part of billions of people’s lives worldwide and is affecting almost every industry imaginable. As the world is becoming more digitally oriented, the health care industry is increasingly visualizing SM as an important channel for health care promotion, employment, recruiting new patients, marketing for health care providers (HCPs), building a better brand name, etc. HCPs are bound to ethical principles toward their colleagues, patients, and the public in the digital world as much as in the real world.

Objective
This review aims to shed light on SM use worldwide and to discuss how it has been used as an essential tool in the health care industry from the perspective of HCPs.

Methods
A literature review was conducted between March and April 2020 using MEDLINE, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science for all English-language medical studies that were published since 2007 and discussed SM use in any form for health care. Studies that were not in English, whose full text was not accessible, or that investigated patients’ perspectives were excluded from this part, as were reviews pertaining to ethical and legal considerations in SM use.

Results
The initial search yielded 83 studies. More studies were included from article references, and a total of 158 studies were reviewed. SM uses were best categorized as health promotion, career development or practice promotion, recruitment, professional networking or destressing, medical education, telemedicine, scientific research, influencing health behavior, and public health care issues.

Conclusions
Multidimensional health care, including the pairing of health care with SM and other forms of communication, has been shown to be very successful. Striking the right balance between digital and traditional health care is important.

The present study investigates the evolution of Hong Kong's health promotion policies between July 1997 and now. The objective of the study is to evaluate the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government's performance in health promotion. International experiences have been drawn to provide objective benchmarks for the assessment. The findings proposed that the Government should conduct a comprehensive review of the present system to consider formulating a policy with a clear direction and long-term strategies for promoting public health, and establishing an independent agency responsible for all health promotion-related matters. To achieve sustained success, the Government should also adopt an integrated and holistic approach in health promotion, with emphasis on policy development, organizational structure, intersectoral collaboration, community participation, promotion of healthy populations, healthy lifestyles and healthy settings, advocacy for health and related education, as well as capacity building for individuals. Apart from proactive efforts by the Government, active participation by all sectors in the community is of utmost importance in achieving success in health promotion.

The purpose of this study was to determine the gender difference in gross motor performance of Hong Kong preschool children. The secondary purposes were to determine whether there was a relationship between body mass index and motor performance as well as to determine the influence of preschool types (large play area vs. small play area) on the motor performance of preschool children. A total of 239 children (121 boys, 118 girls) aged 3 to 6 years from two types of preschools was assessed on locomotor and object control skills of the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2, Ulrich, 2000). Results showed that there was no gender difference in children’s gross motor skills when adjusted by the age effect. There was also no relationship between body mass index and motor performance of preschool children. When partial out age effect, children from preschools with larger play area performed better locomotor skills than those from preschools with smaller play area, however, children from preschools with larger play area had worse object control skills than those from preschools with smaller play area.

Wawasan Alquran tentang Ukhuwwah
Authors: Pa'ba Mursalin Ilyas 
Published: March 2021

Ukhuwwah in Islam has the aim of eliminating competition between individuals, tribes, excessive self-love, ego traits and animating the spirit of mutual help, working together and loving each other on the basis of love because of Allah Swt. and His Messenger. Besides that, ukhuwwah can also eliminate fanaticism (asabiyyah). In Islam, humans are considered special because of their devotion. The Prophet made ukhuwwah a strong bond, not just an expression. Actions that are tied to the relationship of blood and possessions and recognition will be created by mutual love, high sacrifice that is engraved on a good role model, namely Rasulullah Saw.
Ukhuwwah dalam Islam memiliki tujuan yaitu menghilangkan persaingan antar individu, suku, cinta diri yang berlebihan, sifat ego dan menghidupkan spirit saling membantu, bekerja sama dan saling mencintai dengan dasar cinta karena Allah Swt dan Rasul-Nya. Selain itu ukhuwwah juga dapat menghilangkan fanatisme (as}abiyyah). Dalam Islam, orang tidak akan memiliki keistimewaan di hadapan Allah swt. serta tidak dipandang terdepan maupun terbelakang kecuali dengan kadar ketaqwaannya. Nabi juga telah menjadikan ukhuwwah ini sebagai ikatan kuat dan bukan sekedar ungkapan yang tidak bermakna. Perbuatan yang diikat dengan hubungan darah dan harta serta pengakuan akan tercipta jika didasari rasa saling mencintai, pengorbanan yang tinggi yang terpatri pada suri teladan yang baik yaitu Rasu>lulla>h Saw.

Covid-19 is a new pandemic disease, which is caused by the virus knows as Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. It is called SARS-CoV-2 because it is genetically related to each other, but the disease is different, so the ICTV announced this name on 11 February 2020. Its common signs and symptoms are infection which includes the respiratory symptoms, the fever, the cough, the shortness of breath, and the breathing difficulties. And In all of the severe cases, the infection which can cause pneumonia, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), kidney failure and its even cause death also. It is all communicable diseases and in the Ayurvedic literature s the communicable diseases are mentioned under the Janapadoddhvamsa and the Aupasargik Ragas. Its causative agents and methods of prevention have been already clearly explained in Janapadoddhvamsa. So, to manage Janapadoddhvamsa it is advised to take the usage of Rasayana therapy, Panchkarama procedures, Sadvrit Paalan (code of right conducts) and Aachara Rasyana it means the behavioural therapy, Dhupan Karma (Fumigation) and Vaad Chikitsa (Sound therapy). And the effort has been made to find the possible Ayurvedic comparison to the current outbreak of COVID-19. It is indicated under Pranavaha Srotasa (respiratory system) diseases in kashyap Samhita, which is based on the cardinal signs and symptoms, and the system which is involved. Also aims to provide information among the Rasayana Aushadi which can be cooperated in day to day life as an immune modulator along with Vyadhihara Chikitsa. So, the effort which is made to compile the knowledge of Janapadoddhvamsa, so, it should be applied for the betterment human life and maybe also provides the answer to the challenge of COVID-19.

Man, being a social animal, has always been in this endeavor to express his experiences, feelings and desires to others and benefit from the experiences of others. For this, he needed to find and create means and means to express himself. As a result, language was born and arts like poetry, music, dance, painting, sculpture etc. emerged. All these are means of expressing our feelings. Some express their feelings through language, some by painting and some by dance. The goal and ideal are the same, only the medium is different. We call these mediums the language of art.
