Published: August 2019

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine muscle damage and EMG responses during recovery period following exhaustive concentric and eccentric contractions. METHODS: Fifteen football players participated in this study. In order to evaluate the recovery period after the muscle damage exercise protocol, the expected damage was provoked by concentric and eccentric contractions. The EMG data obtained from Rectus Femoris muscle and levels of CK, LDH, and Myoglobin analysed from plasma were recorded before, immediately after and post 24[Formula: see text], 48[Formula: see text], 72[Formula: see text], 168[Formula: see text] hours of the exercise. RESULTS: Save a significant change in the maximum EMG value of Rectus Femoris muscle, no difference was found among other variables ([Formula: see text] 0.05). While there was no difference ([Formula: see text] 0.05) between the base values (PER) accepted as reference of CK, LDH, Myoglobin and levels at other hours after exercise, there was also no difference ([Formula: see text] 0.05) among values of CK, LDH, Myoglobin between eccentric and concentric contractions. CONCLUSIONS: As a result, various EMG measures and muscle damage responses were recorded during the recovery period after intensive resistance exercises. However the responses during recovery period did not differ by the contraction type.

Background: The Apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) genotype is strongly associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), although the presence of the ApoE4 allele alone is not sufficient to explain AD. The pathophysiology of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) remains unclear. Objective: This study aims to examine associations between peripheral blood biomarkers coupled with ApoE4 and episodic and semantic memory. Methods: The CERAD battery was completed and various biomarkers were assayed in 60 subjects with aMCI, 60 with AD, and 62 healthy controls. Results: Deficits in semantic and episodic memory were significantly predicted by anion gap and bicarbonate, albumin, and glucose coupled with ApoE4. Furthermore, these peripheral biomarkers interacted with ApoE to predict greater memory impairments. Conclusions: Peripheral blood biomarkers may interact with pathways related to ApoE4 to predict greater semantic and episodic memory impairments, thus contributing to the pathophysiology of aMCI and AD. Our data suggest that the transition from aMCI to AD could at least in some cases be associated with significant interactions between ApoE4 and those peripheral blood biomarkers.

The functionalization of the carbon fiber based on polyacrylonitrile with sulfur-containing groups of high acidity was carried out in order to obtain the acid-base processes catalysts. Fibers were treated with sulfur vapors in the temperature range of 400-800°C, followed by surface oxidation with 30% hydrogen peroxide solution. Modified samples were investigated by chemical analysis, thermo-programmed desorption with mass spectrometric registration of products, IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. It is shown that the obtained materials contain SO3H-functional groups and oxygen-containing groups (carboxyl, lactone, phenolic, etc.) formed in the surface layer during the oxidation of the fiber surface. The chemical analysis showed that the concentration of sulfur in the samples of the modified fiber is 1.6-6.5 mmol/g. The synthesized samples have a satisfactory thermal stability.
The synthesized catalysts were investigated in the model reaction - gas phase dehydration of isopropyl alcohol. It was found that obtained SO3H-containing carbon fibers were catalytically active and had high propylene selectivity. For all the samples obtained there is a complete conversion of alcohol into propylene. The activity of modified carbon fiber samples in the reaction indicated is a fairly high, temperatures of the total conversion of alcohol into propylene are in the range of 160-190°C. During the study of synthesized catalysts in several cycles of catalysis it have been shown that within repeated use (3 cycles) of all modified fiber samples, the yield of propylene does not decrease, the activity remains stable - the temperature of the dehydration reaction remains unchanged or increases insignificantly (by 5-10ºС). The temperatures of complete conversion of isopropyl alcohol in propylene for synthesized catalysts are lower than the temperatures of destruction maxima of surface sulfogroups. Thus, modified carbon fibers can be used as low-temperature catalysts of acid-base processes, in particular dehydration of alcohols.

Published: August 2019

Industrial and domestic waste water containing waste lubricants, cooling suspensions, waste from the food, alcohol and pulp and paper industries contain fuel residues, solvents, fats, dyes and other organic compounds. Large volumes and multi-component composition of such waste complicate and cost more water purification. Disinfection of such waters using adsorption, membrane or catalytic technologies requires the cost of scarce materials and expensive equipment, as well as leading to the formation of secondary man-made wastes in the form of waste adsorbents, catalysts, membranes, etc.
A promising option is the use of organ-containing sewage in formulations of composite water-coal fuel. At the same time, organic substances of sewage during the combustion of technological equipment allocate additional heat, which allows improving the energy characteristics of the fuel. The possibility of using plasmochemical technology for the stabilization of composite aqueous-coal fuel on the basis of organ-containing wastewater has been investigated. Organic dispersion media used waste after purification of fusel oil and wastewater after the washing of parts for technical purposes. Electrokinetic and rheological properties of composite aqueous-coal fuel have been studied. It has been established that the previous plasmochemical conversion of organo-containing wastewater, which is used as a dispersion medium for composite water-coal fuel, makes it possible to improve its operational properties. The growth of sedimentation stability and the optimization of effective viscosity are achieved both by increasing the electrostatic repulsion of the suspension particles with an increased ξ-potential and by achieving the bimodal composition of the disperse phase.
There is also a significant increase in the absolute values of ξ - the potential reached in the alkaline medium (pH = 10) 55-64 mV for anthracite coal. Accordingly, electrostatic repulsion of coal particles increases and improves in the viscosity in the modified samples is (1.1-1.25 Pa·s) and sedimentation stability (28-36 hours). The sedimentation stability of the fuel obtained is significantly improved in comparison with conventional suspensions of coal in organ-containing wastewater and reaches 28 to 36 hours without the addition of stabilizers. In addition, highly dispersed additives increase the reactivity of the composite aqueous-coal fuel contributes to increasing the caloricity and completeness of the burning of slurry fuel.

Objective: Juniperus communis L. is a
shrub belonging to family Cupressaceae L. mainly growth in Eurasia. The
antioxidant and antidiabetic activity of aqueous extract of J. communis L. berries indicated
benefits as a potent antidiabetic in streptozotocin induced diabetic albino
rats. This study was carried out to determine whether J. communis L. oil supplement will effectively manage renal
dysfunction in diabetic rats.Methods: Twenty
eight rats were divided into 4 equal groups as follows; control group, diabetic
group, J. communis L. oil (200 mg/kg)
treated group, and diabetic+J. communis
L. oil (200 mg/kg) treated group. At the end of the experimental period, all
rats were sacrificed and renal function parameters such as kidney antioxidant
and lipid peroxidation markers and serum creatinine, serum urea, blood urea
nitrogen (BUN), and serum total protein levels were measured in all groups.
Results:
HbA1c, serum glucose, serum urea, serum creatinine,
BUN, and kidney lipid peroxidation levels increased but serum total protein and
antioxidant levels decreased in diabetic group comparing with control group
(p&lt;0.05). Furthermore, HbA1c, serum glucose, serum urea, serum creatinine,
BUN, and kidney lipid peroxidation levels decreased and also, serum total
protein and antioxidant levels increased in diabetic group treated with J. communis L. oil comparing
with diabetic group (p&lt;0.05).

Objective: Large number of comprehensive studies has been carried out on levosimendan. There are many studies on its use, especially in cardiac dysfunction, ischemic cardiac surgery, and heart transplantation surgery. But, there are limited number of studies regarding its use in mitral valve interventions and ischemic mitral dysfunction combined with coronary artery by-pass surgery (CABG). We aimed to investigate the efficacy of levosimendan usage on patients undergone combined coronary artery by-pass grafting and mitral valve surgery because of ischemic mitral dysfunction.Methods: Subsequent patients, who have undergone concurrent CABG and mitral valve repair surgery by a single surgery team, were retrospectively examined. 36 patients were divided into 2 groups; Group 1 (levosimendan therapy group, n=15) and Group 2 (n=21).Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of preoperative characteristics, echocardiographic data of the patients and preoperative medication. Inotrope therapy was required for 12 patients in Group 1, which was statistically higher than Group 2 (n=5, p=0.001). Moreover, IABP following LCOS utilized six and two patients in group 1 and 2 with a statistically significant difference (p=0.03), espectively.Conclusion: We recommend using levosimendan on selected patients for its several beneficial effects. However, we do not satisfied with the treatment because the pathology of all patients was not related to ischemia, more to the alteration of ventricle anatomy with deterioration of diameters.

Published: August 2019

El artículo tiene como propósito, construir los elementos teóricos necesarios, que sustente lo constitutivo de la Gerencia Social Universitaria en Venezuela, desde la configuración de la UNEFA, la UNESR y la UBV. Con respecto a la metodología está enmarcada en el paradigma cualitativo, su enfoque es el interaccionismo simbólico. Los actores sociales son los docentes, empleados y estudiantes de las tres universidades tomadas como unidades de estudios y los cuales fungieron como informantes claves. La técnica de recolección de información fue la observación participante y la entrevista a profundidad. Para el análisis e interpretación de la información se utilizó la matriz GLATER, la cual sus autoras González y Hernández (2000) lo definen “como una matriz y un instrumento para evaluar las categorías provenientes de su investigación o de otros autores” (p.20). Para establecer la confiabilidad y valides se aplicó la triangulación. En la investigación sobresale la siguiente reflexión; el individuo que se desempeñe como gerente universitario le corresponderá tomar como marco de referencia los postulados de la gerencia social, toda vez que la misma es una gerencia compartida, solidaria, transparente, ajena a intereses sectoriales o corporativos; es una gerencia sensible e inteligente orientada al bien común, que desarrolla habilidades para la concertación, los consensos y los acuerdos.
