Authors: Consorti Giacomo , Bagagiolo Donatella , Buscemi Andrea , Cicchitti Luca , Persiani Michela , Bergna Andrea ,   on behalf of OSA Group
Published: February 2021

Introduction
The Osteopathy Students Analysis (OSA) aims to profile osteopathy students in Italy as a target population in terms of sociodemographic characteristics, geographical distribution, health status, and previous and ongoing education specifications.

Materials and methods
The OSA used a cross-sectional design. A Web-based survey was distributed to the Italian Osteopathic Education Institutions (OEIs). The OSA survey was composed of items organised into four sections: 1. Sociodemographic characteristics (11 items); 2. Geographical distribution (5 items); 3. Health status (3 items); 4. Previous and ongoing education specifications (16 items). A descriptive sample population analysis was performed. Dichotomous and categorical variables were presented as frequencies and percentages, and continuous variables were displayed as means and standard deviations. Some variables were analysed using a pentenary distribution.

Results
49 out of the 61 OEIs identified matched the inclusion criteria, and among these, 22 accepted to propose the enrolment of their students into the study. The survey was administered to 4,720 students from all the participant OEIs. A total of 3,762 students responded to the survey, accounting for an estimated response rate of 53.7%. The majority of respondents were men (54%), with an average age of 26.9 ± 6.5 years. Almost the totality of the sample was composed of the European ethnic group (99.1%). Respondents were predominantly born in Italy (97.2%). The majority of the sample reported being in good (49.5%) to excellent (38.6%) health. To date, osteopathy students are almost evenly distributed between the two types of curricula (T1 = 46.6%; T2 = 53.4%).

Conclusions
The OSA is the first study that aims to profile Italian osteopathy students as a target population in terms of sociodemographic characteristics, geographical distribution, health status, and previous and ongoing education specifications. Future studies should focus on investigating the correlation between the sociodemographic characteristics of students and their academic performance.

The impact of quercetin on a porcine intestinal epithelial cell line exposed to deoxynivalenol
Authors: Pomothy Judit Mercédesz , Gatt Katrina , Jerzsele Ákos , Gere Erzsébet Pászti 
Published: February 2021

AbstractQuercetin (Que) is present in many vegetables and fruits as a secondary antioxidant metabolite. Deoxynivalenol (DON) produced by various Fusarium mould species can induce cytotoxicity and oxidative stress in the gastrointestinal tracts of humans and farm animals. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Que on DON-induced oxidative stress in a non-tumourigenic porcine IPEC-J2 cell line. Two experimental designs were used in our experiments as follows: (a) pretreatment with 20 µmol/L Que for 24 h followed by 1-h 1 µmol/L DON treatment and (b) simultaneous application of 20 µmol/L Que and 1 µmol/L DON for 1 h. Cell cytotoxicity, transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) of cell monolayers and extracellular/intracellular redox status were studied. It was found that DON significantly decreased TER and triggered oxidative stress, while Que pretreatments were beneficial in maintaining the integrity of the monolayers and alleviated oxidative stress. However, co-treatment with Que was unable to preserve the integrity and redox balance of the cells exposed to DON. These results indicate that only the 24-h preincubation of cells with 20 µmol/L Que was beneficial in compensating for the disruption caused by DON in extracellular oxidative status.

Background: In science, posing problems is considered as important as solving them, however, school has explored little this type of activity. Objective: To examine the features of mathematical problems posed by elementary school teachers, analysing aspects related to the statement of the problems and the types of problems formulated. Design: Descriptive, qualitative research. Setting and participants: Eighty-seven teachers (45 teaching 1st and 2nd grades, and 42 teaching 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades of elementary school) attending a teacher education course promoted by the Municipal Secretary of Education of Curitiba. Data collection and analysis: The teachers were asked to formulate four problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The types of the quantities involved, the necessary information, the number of steps required for solving the problems, and the types of problems from the theory of conceptual fields were analysed. Results: The problems presented a clear language, sufficient information, required a single operation for their solution, involved discrete quantities, and presented few challenges. The problems of addition and subtraction involved situations of composition and transformation, those of multiplication were of simple proportion, and those of division were of partitive problems. Conclusions: The results suggest that the teachers have a limited conception about the formulation of problems, emphasising the need to promote teacher training courses that develop a greater understanding of the properties of the mathematical concept involved in the problems to be formulated and about resolution procedures to be adopted
Generation of a Stochastic Seismic Event Set Based on a New Seismicity Model in China’s Earthquake Catastrophe Model

Published: February 2021

AbstractEarthquakes are among the most devastating natural disasters in China, causing serious casualties and property losses. To effectively reduce catastrophic risk, it is important to establish an earthquake catastrophe insurance system based on the earthquake catastrophe model, of which seismic hazard analysis is a main module. Probabilistic seismic-hazard analysis uses the potential source model, seismicity model, and ground-motion attenuation model, as well as the probability method to obtain the seismic hazard value of a given point. However, because the influence of a single seismic event is required when the earthquake catastrophe model is used for risk analysis, a series of single events needs to be generated according to the potential source model so as to calculate the influence of each event on the given point. In this study, based on the seismicity model (potential sources and their seismicity parameters) used in compiling the fifth generation of Seismic Ground Motion Parameter Zoning Map of China, we use the Monte Carlo method to simulate seismic events conforming to temporal, spatial, and intensity distribution of China’s seismic activities. In the simulation process, we follow the Poisson distribution in occurrence time and the Gutenberg–Richter law in magnitude distribution, and we use potential sources and earthquake occurrence rates to describe spatial distribution. The simulated seismic events include the following parameters: date (year, month, and day), location (longitude and latitude), depth, magnitude, and attitude of seismogenic faults. The simulated seismic event set can support earthquake risk analysis in the earthquake catastrophe model and has been applied in the earthquake catastrophe model of China.

Background: Prediction of outcome of a patient plays a key role in the management of PICU. Studies have predicted that platelet parameters are novel predictors of mortality. Hence, present study was designed to assess the accuracy of platelet parameters (platelet count, MPV (mean platelet volume), PDW (platelet distribution width), PCT (Plateletcrit), MPV/PCT, PDW/Platelet count, MPV/platelet count in prediction of mortality and morbidity. Methods: Total 66 children requiring admission to PICU, were divided as sick (with sick score≥3) and non-sick (with sick score<3). Their platelet parameters were compared. Platelet parameters were further studied with respect to morbidity and mortality. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 22 version software. Chi-square test was used as test of significance for qualitative data. Continuous data was represented as mean and standard deviation. Independent t test was used as test of significance to identify the mean difference between two quantitative variables. Results: Both groups were comparable in terms of age and gender. Significant difference in all platelet parameters were noted in between groups (p<0.001). Platelet parameters and their ratios were significant predictors of mortality and morbidity, with negative correlation to platelet count and plateletcrit (PCT), and positive correlation to the rest.Conclusions: Simple analysis of platelet indices at admission by haematology counter analysers could give us a great idea in predicting the mortality and morbidity of the children.

Background: The long QT syndrome is characterized by prolongation of QT interval, which may lead to life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. Objectives were to assess prevalence, quantity and severity of QTc prolongation with combined drugs (azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine) in adults COVID-19 patients treated on these agents at KFSHRC. And to characterize cardiac complications of QTc prolongation with combined drugs.Methods: A retrospective cohort study at KFSH&RC, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Baseline and daily ECG was done until completion of duration as per KFSH&RC guidelines for management of Covid-19, QTc prolongation>500 or increase of at least 60 ms compared with the pre-drug baseline value, or presence of cardiac conductive complications (torsades de pointes). The QTc prolongation was defined as>470 for male and >480 for female as per American Heart Association. A risk score that has been validated by Tisdale et al, for prediction of QT prolongation drug-related in admitted patients in cardiac care unit. The study duration was specified as one month after study approval by Research Ethics committee.Results: A total of 74 patients were included in the study. The patients were distributed according to their risk score for prediction of QT prolongation as the following: low (67/74), medium (6/74), high (1/74). Two patients with medium risk were started on both azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine. one of them his baseline QT was 490, Azithromycin was stopped as QT reached 502. The second patient has QT baseline 471, after starting treatment; QT range was 472-475, hydroxychloroquine was stopped on day 4. None of them had torsades de pointes. Only one patient with low risk, no baseline QT was recorded, but QT was 499 on day three, so hydroxychloroquine was stopped. Repeated ECG showed: QT decreased to 478, no torsades de pointes. Conclusions: In this single centered-retrospective cohort, we noticed that a small percentage of patients developed QT prolongation with the use of this combination. With the increasing the risk of developing QT prolongation the number of the patient who developed the condition increased. We used Tisdale score which is a scoring system Identifying hospitalized patients at risk for QT interval prolongation could lead to interventions to reduce the risk of torsades de pointes validated in May 2013.5 None of our population developed significant cardiac complications of QTc prolongation with combined drugs.

Quality seed is one of the determining factors of successful agricultural cultivation. Seeds that have been stored for a long time will experience seed deterioration, which is characterized by a decrease in seed viability. Improving seed viability can be done by seed invigoration. One of the seed invigoration techniques is organic priming by using organic substances extracts that are rich in phytohormones such as auxin, cytokinin, and gibberellins. The purpose of Organic priming is to improve the seed physiological and biochemical condition that related to growing speed, growing simultaneity, and germination. Mung bean sprout extract can be used as an extract for organic priming because it is proven to contain phytohormones. This study aims to determine the interaction between varieties and concentrations of bean sprout extracts and the best combination of varieties and extract concentrations on the viability of rice seeds. The research was carried out in April - June 2020 at the Laboratory of Agricultura Biology, Agriculture Faculty, Lambung Mangkurat University. The experiment was arranged based on Factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) 4x6 with Three replications. The variables observed were seeds germination, simultaneity of seedlings growth and speed of seedlings growth. The results showed that the interaction factor between varieties and concentration had a very significant effect on increasing seed viability and the best combination was found in Baroma varieties with concentrations of 20 % and if concentrations higher or lower than 20 % performance of rice seed viability will decrease. The highest percentage of seed germination was found in Baroma varieties with a concentration of 20 % (v4k3), which is 82.67 % not significantly different from Baroma varieties with a concentration of 10 % (v4k2) and INPARA 3 varieties with a concentration of 20 % (v1k3). The highest percentage of simultaneity of seed growth was found in Baroma varieties with a concentration of 20 % (v4k3), which is 81.50 % not significantly different from Baroma varieties with a concentration of 10 % (v4k2), Mutant line No. 14 with a concentration of 20 % (v3k3), and INPARA 3 variety with a concentration of 20 % (v1k3), while the fastest percentage of seed growth rate is in Baroma with a concentration of 20 % (v4k3), which is 29.50% significantly different from all varieties and other bean sprout extract concentrations.
