Abstract
This study aims to clarify the concept of Mushkil al-Qurān, the wisdom behind it, and to present an applied study on Mushkil al-Qurān. The inductive descriptive method was followed by looking closely at the linguistic semantics of the word mushkil and its terminological definition presented by the scholars. A description of the concept of al-mushkil was concluded, as well as the wisdom behind having al-mushkil in Quran. Then, the applied study on certain problematic verses was conducted by raising the ambiguity (al-Ishkāl) related to them with referring to the opinions of the scholars and mufasirīn on how to remove the ambiguity, and finally suggesting tarjīh (lit. outweighing) between those opinions. The study concluded that whoever wishes to be experienced and skillful in dealing with Mushkil al-Qurān must refer to the opinions and ways of scholars in dealing with those problematic verses, while keeping in mind that the reality that certain verses are problematic is relative as some mufasirīn might consider it as such while others might not. Mufasirūn have been meticulous in dealing with the problematic verses and have been refuting the misconceptions with sound proofs and arguments.

Authors: Li Xiaoju , Han Lei , Zhu Shoulin , Gao Mingxing 
Published: October 2021

To determine the proper range of information quantity of traffic signs in the straight line sections of grassland highways, we have established virtual scenes of such sections of highways with varying levels of information quantity, and we have carried out an experiment on simulated driving. During the research, the method of principal component analysis (PCA) is adopted, and indicators related to eye movements are selected, which prove to be sensitive to the information quantity of traffic signs. Moreover, the pattern of variations is analyzed to examine how the information quantity of traffic signs may impose an impact on drivers’ visual load, and the experimental results are assessed and verified in a subjective manner. The research findings indicate that the information quantity of traffic signs could impose a significant impact on the fixation duration, saccade duration, saccade amplitude and fixation entropy of drivers. Within the proper range of information quantity (20–30 bits/km), drivers have shown stronger ability to acquire and process information with higher searching efficiency and optimal strategy of allocating attention, which will facilitate safe driving. The subjective assessment of drivers’ workload has also proven the validity of the research findings.

BACKGROUND: A set of enduring conditions have been reported in the literature involving persistent sexual dysfunction after discontinuation of serotonin reuptake inhibiting antidepressants, 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors and isotretinoin. OBJECTIVE: To develop diagnostic criteria for post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD), persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD) following serotonin reuptake inhibitors, post-finasteride syndrome (PFS) and post-retinoid sexual dysfunction (PRSD). METHODS: The original draft was designed using data from two published case series (Hogan et al., 2014 and Healy et al., 2018), which represent the largest public collections of data on these enduring conditions. It was further developed with the involvement of a multidisciplinary panel of experts. RESULTS: A set of criteria were agreed upon for each of the above conditions. Features of PSSD, PFS and PRSD commonly include decreased genital and orgasmic sensation, decreased sexual desire and erectile dysfunction. Ancillary non-sexual symptoms vary depending on the specific condition but can include emotional blunting and cognitive impairment. PGAD presents with an almost mirror image of unwanted sensations of genital arousal or irritability in the absence of sexual desire. A new term, post-SSRI asexuality, is introduced to describe a dampening of sexual interest and pleasure resulting from a pre-natal or pre-teen exposure to a serotonin reuptake inhibitor. CONCLUSIONS: These criteria will help in both clinical and research settings. As with all criteria, they will likely need modification in the light of developments.

Published: October 2021

Background: An acute scrotum is defined as acute pain with or without scrotal swelling, may be accompanied by local signs or general symptoms. Acute scrotal pain is a medical emergency. Depending on cause, the management is entirely different. Torsion of testis and strangulated hernia are surgical emergency; whereas, epididymo-orchitis is treated by medicines. Testicular trauma and obstructed hernia can be differentiated by taking history from patient. Clinical /Physical examination adds only a little information. Color Doppler ultrasound is the modality of choice to differentiate testicular torsion from inflammatory conditions.
Aim of Study: The aim of this study is to observe the epidemiology of acute scrotum and their presentation, there by facilitating a systematic approach in identifying those patients who need early intervention to decrease associated morbidity and mortality.
Conclusion: Acute scrotum is a common case seen in the today's scenario with considerable mortality and morbidity. In our study acute epididymo-orchitis was the commonest cause followed by torsion of testis the primary objective of management of acute scrotum is to avoid testicular loss. Acute scrotal swellings are common in younger & middle age individuals with variable symptoms. These cases need careful examination, proper evaluation and prompt treatment. The likelihood of testicular salvage in torsion depends on the interval between onset of pain and surgical intervention. Routine clinical examination gives only a little information. Doppler ultrasound assessment of patients at intermediate clinical risk of testicular torsion significantly reduced the frequency of negative surgical explorations without increased rate of missed testicular torsions.(1) In the imaging algorithm for testicular torsion in childhood, we differentiate between the two main entities, the peri- and neonatal torsion and torsions in children and infants older than 1 month. Imaging should not cause any delay in diagnosis but contribute to increase the specificity of diagnosis of testicular torsion in order to avoid unnecessary surgical explorations. (2)

Introduction: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the leading cause of childhood-onset physical disability. Children with CP often have impaired upper limb (UL) function. Constraint-induced therapy (CIT) is one of the most effective UL interventions for children with unilateral CP. However, concerns about CIT for children have been repeatedly raised due to frustration caused by restraint of the child’s less-affected UL and lack of motivation for the intensive protocol. Virtual reality (VR), which can mitigate the disadvantages of CIT, potentially can be used as an alternative mediator for implementing CIT. Therefore, we developed a VR-based CIT program for children with CP using the Kinect system.Aims: The feasibility of the Kinect-based CIT program was evaluated for children with unilateral CP using a two-phase study design.Materials and Methods: In phase 1, ten children with unilateral CP were recruited. To confirm the achievement of the motor training goals, maximal UL joint angles were evaluated during gameplay. To evaluate children’s perceptions of the game, a questionnaire was used. In phase 2, eight children with unilateral CP were recruited and received an 8 weeks Kinect-based CIT intervention. Performance scores of the game and outcomes of the box and block test (BBT) were recorded weekly.Results: In phase 1, results supported that the design of the program was CIT-specific and was motivational for children with unilateral CP. In phase 2, game performance and the BBT scores began showing stable improvements in the fifth week of intervention.Conclusion: It suggested the Kinect-based CIT program was beneficial to the motor function of the affected UL for children with unilateral CP. According to the results of this feasibility study, larger and controlled effectiveness studies of the Kinect-based CIT program can be conducted to further improve its clinical utility.Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02808195; Comparative effectiveness of a Kinect-based unilateral arm training system vs. CIT for children with CP

Published: October 2021

Sophorolipids (SLs) are homologous microbial secondary metabolites produced by Starmerella bombicola and have been widely applied in many industrial fields. The biosynthesis of SLs is a highly aerobic process and is often limited by low dissolved oxygen (DO) levels. In this study, the Vitreoscilla hemoglobin (VHb) gene was transformed into S. bombicola O-13–1 by homologous recombination to alleviate oxygen limitation. VHb expression improved the intracellular oxygen utilization efficiency under either oxygen-rich or oxygen-limited conditions. In shake flask culture, the production of SLs was higher in the recombinant (VHb+) strain than in the wild-type (VHb−) strain, while the oxygen uptake rate of the recombinant (VHb+) strain was significantly lower than that of the wild-type (VHb−) strain. In a 5 L bioreactor, the production of SLs did not increase significantly, but the DO level in the fermentation broth of the VHb+ strain was 21.8% higher than that of VHb− strain under oxygen-rich conditions. Compared to wide-type strains (VHb−), VHb expression enhanced SLs production by 25.1% in the recombinants (VHb+) under oxygen-limited conditions. In addition, VHb expression raised the transcription levels of key genes involved in the electron transfer chain (NDH, SDH, COX), TCA cycle (CS, ICD, KDG1) and SL synthesis (CYP52M1 and UGTA1) in the recombinant (VHb+) strains. VHb expression in S. bombicola could enhance SLs biosynthesis and intracellular oxygen utilization efficiency by increasing ATP production and cellular respiration. Our findings highlight the potential use of VHb to improve the oxygen utilization efficiency of S. bombicola in the industrial-scale production of SLs using industrial and agricultural by-products like molasses and waste oil as fermentation feedstock.

BackgroundPhytic acid (IP6) is a promising and emerging agent, and because of its unique structure and distinctive properties, it lends itself to several applications in dentistry. Recently, IP6 was proposed as a potential chelating agent in endodontics. However, there is limited knowledge regarding its antimicrobial and antibiofilm effectiveness. The aims of this study, were therefore to evaluate the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of IP6 against a range of microbial species and compare these with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). The contact time required for IP6 to exert its bactericidal effect on Enterococcus faecalis was also determined.MethodsThe inhibitory and biocidal activities of IP6, EDTA and NaOCl were assessed using a broth microdilution assay against 11 clinical and reference strains of bacteria and a reference strain of Candida albicans. The contact time required for various IP6 concentrations to eliminate planktonic cultures of E. faecalis was determined using a membrane filtration method according to BS-EN-1040:2005. IP6 bactericidal activity was also evaluated using fluorescent microscopy, and the antibiofilm activity of the test agents was also determined.ResultsIP6 was biocidal against all tested microorganisms. At concentrations of 0.5%, 1% and 2%, IP6 required 5 min to exert a bactericidal effect on E. faecalis, while 5% IP6 was bactericidal after 30 s. IP6 also eradicated biofilms of the tested microorganisms. In conclusion, IP6 had notable antimicrobial effects on planktonic and biofilm cultures and exhibited rapid bactericidal effects on E. faecalis. This research highlighted, for the first time the antimicrobial and antibiofilm properties of IP6, which could be exploited, not only in dental applications, but also other fields where novel strategies to counter antimicrobial resistance are required.

Objective: The objective of this study was to provide a descriptive analysis of the clinical outcomes achieved in oocyte vitrification in cases where sperm was unavailable on oocyte retrieval day, and to identify predictors of oocyte survival.Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from a university-affiliated reproductive medical center. There were 321 cycles in which some of, or all oocytes were vitrified owing to the unavailability of sperm between March 2009 and October 2017. A descriptive analysis of the clinical outcomes including both fresh embryo transfers and cryopreserved embryo transfers was provided. The ability of an individual parameter to forecast oocyte survival per thawing cycle was assessed by binary logistic regression analysis. The cumulative probability of live birth (CPLB) was estimated by using the Kaplan-Meier method according to the total number of oocytes thawed in consecutive procedures.Results: The average survival rate was 83.13%. High-quality embryo rate and blastocyst rate decreased significantly decreased significantly in vitrification oocyte group compared to fresh control oocytes. The comparison of sibling oocytes in part-oocyte-vitrified cycles shows fewer high-quality embryos developed in the vitrified group. The live birth rate per warmed-oocyte was 4.3%. Reasons for lack of sperm availability on oocyte retrieval day and serum cholesterol levels were found to be associated with oocyte survival rate in the present study. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed no significant difference in CPLB between patients ≤35 vs. &gt;35 years.Conclusions: Oocyte vitrification is an indispensable and effective alternative when sperm are not available on oocyte retrieval day. The present study provided evidence that oocytes from infertile couples were more likely to suffer oocyte/embryo vitrification injury. Clinicians need to take this into account when advising patients in similar situations. Further studies will be necessary to clarify the correlation between serum metabolism parameters and human oocyte survival after vitrification.
