Purpose of the article is to show the particular features of the model of the universe in the genre portrait-paintings and compositions of the modern Ukrainian artist M. E. Guyda are investigated. Historico-culturalogical, comparative, iconographic and iconological methods are applied. The ideological content and the particular features of the formal solution of figurative compositions are considered in the context of the heritage of world art. The national character of the images and symbols of the house, the clan and the native land are revealed; as is the nature of the manifestation of the relationship of the earthly and the heavenly. It was found that in the center of creation in compositions of M. E. Guyda is a spiritually inspired person from the folk. The depiction of people of different ages in interaction with nature helps to convey a natural course of time. It was clarified that the European aristocratic ceremonial portrait is foundational for the Ukrainian master. Artistic-stylistic analysis revealed that in the portrait-paintings "At the Well" (2013) and "Baba Kilyna" (2016), canonical composition was transformed by the artist through the expansion of space filled with individual symbolic content. The components of the ritual ceremonial portrait (columns, draperies, table-altar) are transformed into the image of a Cossack courtyard with a hedge, a tree of life, a well, a rainbow path. In the painting "Green Festivities" (2004), the house is shown as a temple. In the composition "Chumatsky Way" (2014), the world is presented as a universe – a model of the universe-house, with the architectonics of earth and sky. Scientific novelty is that the transformation of the canonical composition of the ceremonial portrait in the work of the contemporary artist M. E. Guyda is shown. The cultural and historical content of the master’s compositions was studied in connection with the problems of national self-identification and polystylism of the art of the twentieth century.is that the appeal to archetypes and symbols allowed the artist to expand the chamber space of his native Cossack house-yard to the "Model of Guyda’s Universe". The persuasiveness of individual pictorial images and symbols is based on the unity of personal, emotional perception of life with supra-individual mythological thinking. Practical significance. The presented materials, their artistic and stylistic analysis and generalization can be used in scientific research devoted to the art of portrait painting in Ukraine and in the world.

Purpose of the research is to analyse of the peculiarities of the symbolic meaning and specific use of phytomorphic ornamentation in Byzantine goldsmithery of the IV–IX centuries. Methodology.The research is applied historical-cultural and art critic approaches combined with comparative and presentational methods. Results.The results of the research prove the relationship between Eastern and Greco-Roman traditions of using floral ornamentation in Byzantine jewellery in the IV–IX centuries is highlighted. The traditions and application of floral ornamentation in Byzantine jewellery of the indicated period are identified. The system of transformation of plant motifs into meaningful symbols of spiritual truth embedded in Christianity is analysed. The stylistics, symbolic meaning and artistic peculiarities of plant ornaments applied in jewellery of the above period are investigated on the example of outstanding jewellery items. Jewellery items decorated with floral ornaments from the early Byzantine and iconoclastic periods from renowned museum collections worldwide are examined. The peculiarities of the sign symbolism of phytomorphic ornaments in the Byzantine jewellery of the IV–IX centuries are identified. Artistic technologies and terminology of the Byzantine goldsmith's period are characterized and specified. Scientific novelty. The sign symbolism of phytomorphic ornaments in the Byzantine goldsmith's art of the IV–IX centuries was investigated in a comprehensive way. The causes for the use of phytomorphic ornaments in jewellery items of that time as elements specifying Christian images at certain stages of their canonical formation have been revealed. The article proves the importance of the use of the sign symbolism of phytomorphic ornaments in Byzantine jewellery for further qualitative formation and perfection of Christian traditions. Practical significance. The material of this research can be reflected in the writing of academic disciplines related to artistic technologies in jewellery. As a source of inspiration they can be applied in the process of creating new jewellery collections of Christian themes.

Dialysis causes many psycho-social problems in patients with chronic renal failure and decreases their quality of life by increasing their anxiety. We aimed to determine the influence of artistic activities on quality of life and reducing or eliminating dialysis anxiety.Methods. Among 180 hemodialysis patients, 8 patients were randomly selected as a study group and 8 patients as a control group. We performed our theater rehearsals in 16 sessions, two hours per week. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), STAII and Social Anxiety Scales (SAS) were employed in both groups before and after the play. Results. The means of the eighth-month SAS fear and avoidance measures of the study group were found to be significantly lower than the control group and significantly lower than the baseline. The mean difference of the initial eighth-month SAS fear and avoidance in the study group was statistically significantly higher than the control group.Initial and eighth month SAS fear and avoidance difference averages of the study group were found statistically significantly higher than the control group.Conclusions. We determined that the therapies to be done with art have an important place in relieving or reducing anxiety in hemodialysis patients. In addition, it was the opinion that our patients would make positive contributions to their quality of life. However, further studies are needed to demonstrate whether theater rehearsals reduce anxiety in hemodialysis patients.

Authors: Erbesler Zeynel Abidin , Ulcay Tufan 
Published: August 2021

Recent studies have shown that renal ischemia-reperfusion injury can have detrimental effects on distant organs such as the brain, liver and lungs. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury on pancreatic functions.
Materials and Methods. Twenty four male adult Wistar rats were divided into four groups. Sham and control group animals were not given any medications. Animals in groups 3 and 4 were treated with epidural bupivacaine and isoflurane inhalation. Animals in all groups except for the sham group were subjected to bilateral renal ischemia for 45 minutes and subsequent reperfusion. Blood samples were collected before ischemia, immediately after reperfusion and 2h after reperfusion. Serum blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, amylase and lipase levels were measured, and pancreatic sections were histopathologically examined for the presence and severity of congestion, degenerative cellular changes, cytoplasmic vacuolization and leukocytic infiltration. Levels of malondialdehyde, endogenous antioxidant enzyme catalase and reduced glutathione were measured in pancreatic tissue sections by using colorimetric kits.
Results. Serum blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels increased in rats subjected to renal ischemia-reperfusion. There was no difference between the groups in terms of pancreatic tissue malondialdehyde, catalase and glutathione levels.
Conclusion. In conclusion, bilateral renal ischemia for 45 minutes led to significant impairment in pancreatic function and changes in pancreas histology. These findings might be due to antioxidant deficiency and increased lipid peroxidation in pancreatic tissue.

Published: August 2021

The present study aimed to evaluate the changes in oxidative stress markers according to the concentration of plasma oxalic acid (POx) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients.
Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional observational study involving 72 ESRD patients and 30 relatively healthy individuals who served as a control reference group for evaluation of POx concentration. Among ESRD patients there were 32 hemodialysis (HD) patients and 40 peritoneal dialysis (PD). POx concentration was measured spectrophotometrically using a commercially available kit (MAK315, Sigma, Spain). Malonic dialdehyde (MDA), ceruloplasmin (CP), transferrin (TR), sulfhydryl groups (SH-groups), antioxidant blood capacity (AOC) and total peroxidase activity of erythrocytes (TPA) were measured and the oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated in all examined patients.
Results. A significant increase in POx concentration was observed in ESRD patients compared with healthy volunteers (p < 0.0001). The concentrations of MDA in serum, OSI in erythrocytes and serum of the examined patients were gradually increased, while serum levels of CP, AOC, SH-groups and TPA in erythrocytes, on the contrary, were decreased in accordance with the increasing trend of POx concentrations. Correlation analysis demonstrated a statistically significant direct relationship between POx concentration and MDA (r = 0.57; p <0.0001) and OSI (r = 0.64; p <0.0001). The inverse correlation was determined between POx and antioxidant markers: CP (r = -0.35; p = 0.007), SH-groups in serum (r = -0.3; p = 0.04) and erythrocytes (r = -0.53 ; p <0.0001).
Conclusions. The intensity of oxidative-antioxidant balance disorders in the blood of ESRD patients has been associated with the POx concentration: the higher the concentration of POx was the more active oxidative processes and the more pronounced lack of antioxidant protective factors occurred. Further studies are needed to determine the role of POx in the initiation of oxidative stress and chronic inflammation in ESRD patients.

Authors: Alvarenga Eliana , Torres Elodia 
Published: August 2021

El síndrome de Wolf-Hirschhorn (WHS) es una enfermedad genética causada por la pérdida de una porción distal en el brazo corto del cromosoma 4 que se caracteriza porque los pacientes presentan un rasgo craneofacial típico. Se presenta el caso de una niña de 7 meses de vida con malformaciones diversas y alimentación nasogástrica, para la realización de las técnicas de Hibridación in situ fluorescente (FISH) y cariotipo. Por FISH se detectó la microdeleción del brazo corto del cromosoma 4, región p16.3 y en el cariotipo se observó una translocación desequilibrada entre el brazo corto del cromosoma 4 y una pieza extra de origen desconocido. A fin de determinar el origen de la translocación, se realizó el estudio cromosómico a los padres, con resultados normales. Este caso revela la necesidad de la realización del FISH en pacientes con múltiples malformaciones y sospecha de ser portadores de microdeleción cromosómica.

Published: August 2021

Mushrooms are considered as a valuable source of important nutrients having hepatoprotective and anti-hyperlipidemic actions. Present experimental research was done to explore the beneficial role of mushroom on health in hypercholesterolemia. Total thirty Swiss albino mice were taken and randomly divided into three groups: control A, group B and group C. Each group consisted of ten mice. The control A group was fed with normal mice pellet and fresh water. Group B was fed with hypercholesterolemic diet and group C was supplied hypercholesterolemic diet with mushroom powder (500g/kg/mice body weight) for 60 days. After the experimental tenure, mice of each group were sacrificed ethically and the samples (liver and blood) were collected for gross, histological study and lipid profile analysis. Increased liver weight, pale and hemorrhagic liver in gross observation along with some histological changes including dilation and congestion of central and portal vein, fat accumulation in hepatocyte and marked lymphocytic infiltration were found in group B, while mushroom supplementation recovered this gross and histological changes and reduced liver weight in group C. Just mild congestion and dilation was in the portal vein of group C. In lipid profile analysis, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) level significantly reduced respectively by 10%, 38% and 17% in group C than group B. High density lipoprotein (HDL) level also significantly increased by 20% in group C compared to group B. Therefore, it can be concluded that mushrooms might have potentially beneficial actions in recovering of some complications in hypercholesterolemia.

Published: August 2021

Today's workplace has created new challenges and opportunities for managers, as employees from three generations (Millennials, Generation X and Baby boomers) with different personal characteristics now form the workforce. It is crucial for a company's management to understand employees' needs regarding benefits, since employees' satisfaction is vital to their motivation and productivity. In this study, we analysed responses from 272 employees to a survey about their preferences for Health & Wellness programmes, using the Analytical Hierarchy Process methodology. The results reveal significant differences between generations, as well as between genders. The most desired programmes for younger generations are educational packages, whereas Baby boomers tend to prefer cultural events. Despite these differences, there is consensus among all the generations about the high importance of dental care programmes.

Objetivo: a bocha paralímpica é uma modalidade baseada em controle motor, tomada de decisão e precisão. Muito embora haja aumento no número de participantes e no desempenho apresentado pelos atletas nos eventos mundiais, diferente de outros esportes paralímpicos, a modalidade ainda não dispõe de protocolos para avaliação motora específicos destinados aos praticantes.Nosso objetivo foi montar e avaliar a reprodutibilidade de uma bateria de testes para avaliação das capacidades motoras na bocha paralímpica.
Método: Os testes selecionados consideraram características pertinentes a prática da modalidade: a) teste de coordenação de mãos; b) teste de tempo de reação de mãos; c) teste de capacidade aeróbia; e d) teste de agilidade em formato “oito”, escolhidos pela praticidade. Dez jogadores participaram da aplicação da bateria, sendo avaliados com 7 dias de diferença. Foram determinados o viés (método de Bland-Altman), o coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (CCI) e o erro padrão de medida (EPM).
Resultados: A análise dos dados revelou excelentes características de estabilidade das medidas ([coordenação de mãos: viés = -3.700; CCI = 0.87; EPM = 5.53]; [tempo de reação de mãos: viés = -0.500; CCI = 0.99; EPM = 1.53]; [capacidade aeróbia: viés = 8.333; CCI = 0.98; EPM = 16.44]; [agilidade no formato “oito”: viés = 2.980; CCI = 0.93; EPM = 5.28]).
Conclusão: Recomendamos avaliações em outros atletas no sentido de criar padrões normativos baseados nas classes funcionais e no nível de desempenho dos praticantes.

Published: August 2021

Background &amp; AimsGastric mucosa-associated lymphoma (GML) is a mature B cell tumor related to Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection. The clinical manifestations of GML are not specific, so GML is often misdiagnosed, leading to excessive treatment. The pathogenesis of H.pylori-induced GML is not well understood and there are no molecular markers for early GML diagnosis.MethodsGlycopeptidomics analyses of host cell lines (a BCG823 cell line, C823) and C823 cells infected by H. pylori isolated from patients with GML (GMALT823), gastritis (GAT823), gastric ulcer (GAU823) and gastric cancer (GAC823) were carried out to clarify the host reaction mechanism against GML and to identify potential molecular criteria for the early diagnosis of GML.ResultsThirty-three samples were analyzed and approximately 2000 proteins, 200 glycoproteins and 500 glycopeptides were detected in each sample. O-glycans were the dominant glycoforms in GMALT823 cells only. Four specific glycoforms in GMALT823 cells and 2 specific glycoforms in C823 and GMALT823 cells were identified. Eight specific glycopeptides from 7 glycoproteins were found in GMALT823 cells; of these glycopeptides, 6 and 3 specific glycopeptides had high affinity for T cell epitopes and have conformational B cell epitopes, respectively.ConclusionThe predominant glycoforms of host cells infected by MALT H. pylori isolates differ from others, and the glycoproteins, glycosylation sites and glycoforms might be closely related to the formation of GML, which provides new insights into the pathogenic mechanisms of H. pylori infection and suggests molecular indicators for the early diagnosis of GML.

Objectives: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) success is reduced by graft occlusion. Understanding factors associated with graft occlusion may improve patient outcomes. The aim of this study was to develop a predictive risk score for saphenous vein graft (SVG) occlusion after CABG.Methods: This retrospective cohort study enrolled 3,716 CABG patients from January 2012 to March 2013. The development cohort included 2,477 patients and the validation cohort included 1,239 patients. The baseline clinical data at index CABG was analyzed for their independent impact on graft occlusion in our study using Cox proportional hazards regression. The predictive risk scoring tool was weighted by beta coefficients from the final model. Concordance (c)-statistics and comparison of the predicted and observed probabilities of predicted risk were used for discrimination and calibration.Results: A total of 959 (25.8%) out of 3,716 patients developed at least one late SVG occlusion. Significant risk factors for occlusion were female sex [beta coefficients (β) = 0.52], diabetes (β = 0.21), smoking (currently) (β = 0.32), hyperuricemia (β = 0.22), dyslipidemia (β = 0.52), prior percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (β = 0.21), a rising number of SVG (β = 0.12) and lesion vessels (β = 0.45). On-pump surgery (β = −0.46) and the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI)/angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) (β = −0.59) and calcium channel blockers (CCB) (β = −0.23) were protective factors. The risk scoring tool with 11 variables was developed from the derivation cohort, which delineated each patient into risk quartiles. The c-statistic for this model was 0.71 in the validation cohort.Conclusions: An easy-to-use risk scoring tool which included female sex, diabetes, smoking, hyperuricemia, dyslipidemia, prior PCI, a rising number of SVG and lesion vessels, on-pump surgery, the use of ACEI/ ARB and CCB was developed and validated. The scoring tool accurately estimated the risk of late SVG occlusion after CABG (c-statistic = 0.71).

Published: August 2021

Background: The recent American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines redefined blood pressure levels 130-139/80-89 mmHg as stage 1 hypertension. However, the association of stage 1 hypertension with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its age-specific differences among the rural women in Liaoning province remains unclear. It needs to be quantified in considering guideline adoption in China.Methods: In total, 19,374 women aged ≥35 years with complete data and no cardiovascular disease at baseline were followed in a rural community-based prospective cohort study of Liaoning province, China. Follow-up for the new cases of CVD was conducted from the end of the baseline survey to the end of the third follow-up survey (January 1, 2008–December 31, 2017). Adjusted Cox proportional hazards models were applied to estimate the Hazard Ratios (HR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) with the normal blood pressure as a reference.Results: During the median follow-up period of 12.5 years, 1,419 subjects suffered all-cause death, 748 developed CVD, 1,224 participants suffered stroke and 241 had Myocardial Infarction (MI). Compared with normal BP, Stage 1 hypertension had a HR (95% CI) of 1.694 (1.202–2.387) in CVD mortality, 1.575 (1.244–1.994) in the incidence of stroke. The results obtained that the risk of CVD mortality and incidence of stroke was significantly associated with stage 1 hypertension in rural women aged ≥45 years after adjusting for other potential factors. However, in participants aged 35–44 years, stage 1 hypertension was not associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.Conclusions: The newly defined stage 1 hypertension is associated with an increased risk of CVD mortality and also incidence of stroke in the rural women aged ≥45 years population of Liaoning province. This study can be a good reference for health policy makers and clinicians workers to make evidence-based decisions toward lowering burden of cardiovascular disease more efficient, timely measures on prevention and control of stage 1 hypertension in China.
