Published: January 2019

An elevated serum homocysteine concentration is associated with an increased risk of coronary, cerebral, and peripheral vascular disease. The objective of the study was to evaluate the association of serum homocysteine level with hypertension (HTN). This cross sectional analytical study was conducted at Sir Salimullah Medical College & Mitford Hospital and National Health Care Network Dhaka, Bangladesh over a duration of 21 months from July 2012 to May 2014. Fifty HTN patients were included as study subjects and age and sex matched fifty non-HTN healtlhy controls were included. All the clinical measurements were taken and serum Hcy was measured for all study subjects. In this study, females were predominant in both groups, mean age of the HTN patients was 41.0±5.6 years and non-HTN healthy subjects was 38.2±5.2 years. BMI and FBG were found higher in HTN group than that of non-HTN group but the differences were not statistically significant. Systolic and diastolic BP were found significantly higher in HTN group than that of non-HTN group. Serum Hcy level was significantly higher in HTN group (19.93±4.12 μmol/L) than that of non-HTN group (13.20±1.88 μmol/L). This study depicted that serum Hcy had significant correlation with SBP and DBP in HTN. In conclusion, it was seen that elevated serum Hcy level is associated with hytpertension.

Authors: Sharmin Shahanaj , Alam Didarul , Rahman Farzana 
Published: January 2019

A didelphys uterus also known as a “double uterus” is one of the least common Mullerian duct anomalies. Uterine didelphys is a congenital malformation that result from complete failure of fusion of the ipsilateral Mullerian duct during embryonic development. Ideally, diagnosis should be made before pregnancy and labour to prevent adverse outcomes. Here reporting a case who was a 19 years old, 4thgravida, Para: 0+3 (Spontaneous abortion) referred to Bangabandhu Memorial Hospital (BBMH) USTC, Chittagong at 35 weeks of pregnancy with severe abdominal pain by local physician from Raozan, Chittagong. On vaginal examination a longitudinal vaginal septum and two vagina were found. Uterine Didelphys was confirmed during emergency caesarean section and delivered 1.5 kg male baby with APGAR score 7/10 and was referred to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Post operative recovery of the mother was uneventful. The baby was also discharged at the age of seven days with establishment of breast feeding. To avoid delayed diagnosis and associated adverse outcome clinicians should have high index of suspicion of uterine anomaly when assessing cases of dysfunctional labour.

Paradigma Universal dan Sistem Dunia Islam
Authors: Badi' Ahmad 
Published: January 2019

Kajian tentang ekonomi Islam selalu menjadi hal menarik, karena konsep ekonomi Islam sebagai “jalan tengah” antara sistem ekonomi kapitalis dan sosialis. Dalam konteks sosial-ekonomi, ajaran Islam bersifat dinamis serta keberpihakannya pada keadilan sosial bersifat mutlak. Hal ini karena ketidakadilan bisa merusak tatanan sosial serta bertentangan dengan moralitas. Ajaran Islam tentang ekonomi merupakan bagian dari visi besarnya tentang etika universal. Islam menegaskan pentingnya refleksi keimanan, etika pada motivasi ekonomi manusia. Paradigma dalam ekonomi Islam menjadi penting sebagai landasan berfikir yang dijadikan model atau pola serta menjadi acuan dalam proses penelitian. Profesor Masudul Alam Choudhury adalah salah satu dari segelintir ulama akademik di bidang Ekonomi dan Keuangan Islam yang karyanya telah diakui di kedua Barat serta kalangan akademisi Muslim sebagai memainkan peran berpengaruh dalam menentukan disiplin Islamic Finance & Ekonomi. Paradigma universal menyajikan dunia sistem baru, baik secara konsep maupun aplikasi, lembaga serta masa depan yang berkelanjutan atau kesatuan hukum ilahi, yang disebut sebagai tauhid. Ekonomi, Keuangan, Masyarakat dan Science adalah sub-sistem dari komplementariti dalam sistem-dunia dalam tatanan Tawhidi String Relation (TSR). Masing-masing berinteraksi dalam mekanisme pembelajaran satu dengan yang lain, untuk mewujudkan sistem yang menyeluruh, yang sesuai dengan aturan-aturan dan instrumen-instrumen yang berasal dari epistemologi Tawhid.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, devlet
okullarında görev yapan okul müdürlerinin eşitlik ve hesapverebilirlik
görüşlerini incelemektir. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden fenomenoloji deseniyle
yürütülmüş olan bu çalışmanın verileri, yüz yüze görüşme yoluyla yarı
yapılandırılmış bir görüşme formu kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Araştırma
kapsamında İstanbul ili Çekmeköy, Sancaktepe, Ümraniye, Kartal ilçelerinde
bulunan farklı okul türlerinde görev yapan 15 okul müdürü ile görüşülmüştür.
Görüşmeler sonucunda elde edilen veriler nitel araştırma yöntemleri
doğrultusunda kodlanarak temalar altında toplanmış ve içerik analizine tabi
tutulmuştur. Araştırma bulgularına göre okul müdürlerinin büyük çoğunluğu üst
yönetim kademelerine, öğrenci velilerine ve öğretmenlere çeşitli ortamlarda ve
çeşitli yöntemlerle hesap vermektedirler. Bununla birlikte okul müdürlerinin
büyük çoğunluğu mali, akademik başarı ve eğitim öğretim alanında hesap
verdiklerini belirtmişlerdir. Okul müdürlerinin büyük çoğunluğu, üst yönetim
kademelerinin hesap vermemesinin, çeşitli şikâyet hatlarının, mevzuat ve
yönetmeliklerin yetersiz olmasının, okulların mali durumlarının farklı
olmasının hesap vermede eşitsizliğe neden olduğunu ifade etmişlerdir. Aynı zamanda sadece okul yöneticileri ve
öğretmenlerin hesap vermesinin, okulların çevre şartlarının farklı olmasının,
fiziki donanımsal yetersizliklerin, öğretmen niteliği ve performansındaki
farklılıkların okul ve okul yönetimi açısından hesap vermede eşitsizlik
yarattığını belirtmişlerdir. Türkiye bağlamında denetimsel süreçlerin yoğun ve
katı uygulanması, hiyerarşik düzenlemelerin ve anlayışların baskın olması sebebiyle
daha çok üst yönetim birimlerine hesap verilmesi, ülkemiz açısından yapısal ve
kültürel sürecin hesapverebilirliğe yansıması olarak düşünülebilir. Bununla
birlikte okulların çevre şartlarının, veli-öğrenci sosyo ekonomik durumlarının,
okulların fiziksel, donanımsal, mali ve personel özellikleri, nitelikleri,
farklılıkları ve eksikliklerinin hesapverebilirlikte dikkate alınmaması da
eğitim kurumlarının adaletli bir çerçevede hesap vermelerini zorlaştırmaktadır.
Bu doğrultuda ülkemiz eğitim sistemi açısından eşitlik temelinde bir
hesapverebilirlik mevzuat alt yapısının oluşturulması yararlı olacaktır.

Abstract
Using integral field data we extract the optical spectra of shocked interstellar clouds in Kepler’s supernova remnant located in the inner regions of our Galaxy, as well as in the Large Magellanic Cloud, the Small Magellanic Cloud, NGC 6822, and IC 1613. Using self-consistent shock modeling, we make a new determination of the chemical composition of the interstellar medium in N, O, Ne, S, Cl, and Ar in these galaxies and obtain accurate estimates of the fraction of refractory grains destroyed in the shock. By comparing our derived abundances with those obtained in recent works using observations of B-stars, F supergiant stars, and H ii regions, we provide a new calibration for abundance scaling in the range of

Black Hole Formation and Explosion from Rapidly Rotating Very Massive Stars
Authors: Uchida Haruki , Shibata Masaru , Takahashi Koh , Yoshida Takashi 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
We explore the formation process of a black hole (BH) through the pair-instability collapse of a rotating Population III very massive star in axisymmetric numerical relativity. As the initial condition, we employ a progenitor star that is obtained by evolving a rapidly rotating zero-age main-sequence star with mass 320 M
⊙ until it reaches a pair-instability region. We find that for such a rapidly rotating model, a fraction of the mass, ∼10 M
⊙, forms a torus surrounding the remnant BH of mass ∼130 M
⊙, and an outflow is driven by a hydrodynamical effect. We also perform simulations, artificially reducing the initial angular velocity of the progenitor star, and find that only a small or no torus is formed and no outflow is driven. We discuss the possible evolution scenario of the remnant torus for the rapidly rotating model by considering the viscous and recombination effects and show that if an energy of ∼1052 erg is injected from the torus to the envelope, the luminosity and timescale of the explosion could be of the orders of 1043 erg s−1 and years, respectively. We also point out the possibility for observing gravitational waves associated with the BH formation for the rapidly rotating model by ground-based gravitational-wave detectors.
A Two-step Magnetic Reconnection in a Confined X-class Flare in Solar Active Region 12673

Published: January 2019

Abstract
Solar flares are often associated with coronal eruptions, but there are confined ones without eruptions, even for some X-class flares. How such large flares occurred and why they are confined are still not well understood. Here we studied a confined X2.2 flare in NOAA Active Region 12673 on 2017 September 6. It exhibits two episodes of flare brightening with rather complex, atypical ribbons. Based on topology analysis of the extrapolated coronal magnetic field, we revealed that there is a two-step magnetic reconnection process during the flare. Prior to the flare, there is a magnetic flux rope (MFR) with one leg rooted in a rotating sunspot. Neighboring the leg is a magnetic null-point structure. The sunspot drives the MFR to expand, pushing magnetic flux to the null point, and reconnection is first triggered there. The disturbance from the null-point reconnection triggers the second reconnection, i.e., a tether-cutting reconnection below the rope. However, these two reconnections failed to produce an eruption, because the rope is firmly held by its strapping flux. Furthermore, we compared this flare with an eruptive X9.3 flare in the same region 2 hr later, which has a similar MFR configuration. The key difference between them is that, for the confined flare, the MFR is fully below the threshold of torus instability, whereas for the eruptive one, the MFR reaches entirely above the threshold. This study provides good evidence supporting that reconnection alone may not be able to trigger eruption; rather, MHD instability plays a more important role.

Published: January 2019

AIM: This study aims to evaluate the methods of treatment of the thoracic part of oesophagal cancer and to predict the results of treatment depending on the factors of the prognosis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The results of treatment of 366 patients with cancer of the thoracic part of the oesophagus for 10 years (2007-2016) by the department of thoracic oncology of the Karaganda oncological dispensary were studied.
RESULTS: The overall five-year survival rate, regardless of the method of treatment, was only 8.72% (28 of 321), and in the 6-10 year period 8.41% (27 of 321) lived, p < 0.05. Analysis of the overall survival of patients with cancer of the thoracic part of oesophagus showed that the method of treatment does not have a significant effect on life expectancy. A multivariate analysis of 19 grades that affect the prognosis of the disease was carried out.
CONCLUSION: Radical type of treatment of the middle and lower thoracic oesophagus is surgical, in which the median of cumulative survival is 19 months. Traditional radiotherapy should be used in a limited way, as it is palliative, with a median survival of no more than 9 months. The leading factor in the prognosis for thoracic part of oesophagal cancer is the presence of regional metastases, on which the choice of method of treatment depends.
Determination of Excimer Laser Ablation Rates of Corneal Tissue Using Wax Impressions of Ablation Craters and White-Light Interferometry
Authors: Fisher B T , Hahn David W 
Published: January 2019

* BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Efforts to better understand the processes of corneal ablation are aided by a means to precisely measure corneal tissue ablation rates.
* MATERIALS AND METHODS: A white-light interferometer was used to measure the depth of argon fluoride laser ablation craters and wax impressions of the ablation craters. The technique was validated using polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and was then used to measure the ablation rate of bovine corneal tissue.
* RESULTS: The ablation rate was measured as 0.47 pm/pulse from direct measurement of the PMMA ablation craters and as 0.48 µp?/pulse from measurement of the corresponding wax impressions. The ablation rate of bovine corneal tissue was found to be 0.90 pm/pulse.
* CONCLUSIONS: Wax impressions provide a valid representation of ablation craters. The ablation depth of corneal tissue and PMMA was found to increase linearly with increasing number of laser pulses, and the slope of the regression lines provided a measure of the laser ablation rate.

Identification of Novel Respiratory Syncytial Virus CD4+ and CD8+ T Cell Epitopes in C57BL/6 Mice
Authors: Schmidt Megan E , Varga Steven M 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of lower respiratory tract infection and hospitalization in infants. It is well established that both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells are critical for mediating viral clearance but also contribute to the induction of immunopathology following RSV infection. C57BL/6 mice are often used to study T cell responses following RSV infection given the wide variety of genetically modified animals available. To date, few RSV-derived CD4+ and CD8+ T cell epitopes have been identified in C57BL/6 mice. Using an overlapping peptide library spanning the entire RSV proteome, intracellular cytokine staining for IFN-γ was performed to identify novel CD4+ and CD8+ T cell epitopes in C57BL/6 mice. We identified two novel CD4+ T cell epitopes and three novel CD8+ T cell epitopes located within multiple RSV proteins. Additionally, we characterized the newly described T cell epitopes by determining their TCR Vβ expression profiles and MHC restriction. Overall, the novel RSV-derived CD4+ and CD8+ T cell epitopes identified in C57BL/6 mice will aid in future studies of RSV-specific T cell responses.

Published: January 2019

Abstract
Background: Evidence suggests that older patients with oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers may behave differently from their younger peers. Aim: The aim of this study is to determine if there is difference in responses, survival, and toxicities between young patients (≤40 years of age) with oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers and older patients (>40 years of age) treated with concurrent chemoradiation. Materials and Methods: Sixty-one patients with unresectable, locally advanced oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers received concomitant chemoradiation to a dose of 70 Gray in 35 fractions over 7 weeks with concomitant weekly cisplatin (40 mg/m2). These patients were then distributed in two arms. Arm-A patients having age ≤40 years and Arm-B patients having age >40 years, and the two arms were assessed for treatment outcome. Results: The overall response rate (complete responders + partial responders) evaluated using response evaluation criteria in solid tumors criteria version 1.1 was equivalent in both groups (80.76% in Arm-A and 74.28% in Arm-B; P = 0.93). Older patients (>40 years) experienced more acute mucositis and xerostomia (P < 0.5); although not statistically significant, more acute skin and pharynx toxicities were also observed in this group. Higher late salivary gland toxicity (P < 0.5) was also seen in older patients; however, disease-free survival and progression-free survival were found to be similar in both groups. Conclusions: Older patients with locally advanced oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers have similar response rates and survival as compared to their younger counterparts but may experience higher treatment-related toxicities.
