Authors: Zhang Lefeng , Jin Yongqiang , Zhang Fuqiang , Li Hongyin , Wu Qingyu 
Published: June 2018

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the common complications in infants and children after complex congenital heart surgery. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is usually applied for renal replacement therapy (RRT), especially in infants. We investigated the efficacy and safety of modified PD for the treatment of acute renal failure and congestive heart failure after cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease in infants. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed five consecutive patients from October 2015 to February 2017. The patients were aged from four days to five years old, and all had acute renal failure and congestive heart failure after cardiac surgery. In the five patients treated with modified PD (five males; average weight: 11.2 ± 5.5 kg), we used the Seldinger technique percutaneous abdominal puncture 16 G single lumen central venous catheter instead of the Tenckhoff peritoneal dialysis catheter as a PD catheter. Modified PD was intermittent. We recorded and monitored circulation and metabolism index.Results: Five cases (100%) with modified PD were restored to normal renal function. Congestive heart failure was gradually alleviated, and pulmonary and cardiovascular function were improved. Urine volume increased. Neither peritonitis nor catheter leakage occured in any of our cases. Urine volume increased due to PD, from 0.16 + 0.18 mL/kg*h before PD to 2.63 + 1.05 ml/kg*h at the end of PD (P < .05). Serum creatinine, serum urea nitrogen, and serum K+ changed from 85.0 ± 36.5 µmol/L, 17.1 ± 7.5 mmol/L, and 4.57 ± 0.30 mmol/L before PD, to 76.0 ± 36.7 µmol/L, 20.1 ± 11.0 mmol/L, and 4.42 ± 0.42 mmol/L at the end of PD, respectively (P > .05). Acidosis, hyperkalemia, hypoxemia and low cardiac output syndrome were improved. All patients were cured and discharged with normal renal function. Conclusions: We conclude that modified single lumen central venous catheter for PD is a safe, feasible, and less invasive therapeutic strategy for AKI in infants undergoing cardiac surgery, and is worthy of being widely applied in clinical practice.

AbstractGenomic prediction (GP) is now routinely performed in crop plants to predict unobserved phenotypes. The use of predicted phenotypes to make selections is an active area of research. Here, we evaluate GP for predicting grain yield and compare genomic and phenotypic selection by tracking lines advanced. We examined four independent nurseries of F3:6 and F3:7 lines trialed at 6 to 10 locations each year. Yield was analyzed using mixed models that accounted for experimental design and spatial variations. Genotype-by-sequencing provided nearly 27,000 high-quality SNPs. Average genomic predictive ability, estimated for each year by randomly masking lines as missing in steps of 10% from 10 to 90%, and using the remaining lines from the same year as well as lines from other years in a training set, ranged from 0.23 to 0.55. The predictive ability estimated for a new year using the other years ranged from 0.17 to 0.28. Further, we tracked lines advanced based on phenotype from each of the four F3:6 nurseries. Lines with both above average genomic estimated breeding value (GEBV) and phenotypic value (BLUP) were retained for more years compared to lines with either above average GEBV or BLUP alone. The number of lines selected for advancement was substantially greater when predictions were made with 50% of the lines from the testing year added to the training set. Hence, evaluation of only 50% of the lines yearly seems possible. This study provides insights to assess and integrate genomic selection in breeding programs of autogamous crops.

Thermal behavior of biological apatite is the object of several studies. Crystal size, carbonate content, phase composition, and other parameters change during annealing up to 900 °C in biological minerals with apatite structure. The way these parameters change reflects the specific properties of the initial bioapatite. This work presents data on thermal transformations of pathological bioapatite from the human cardiovascular system, namely aortic wall deposits. Some minor elements, foreign to calcium hydroxyapatite (e.g., Na and Mg), can be both incorporated in the apatite structure and localized in the surface layers of crystals, modifying functions of the mineral. A new approach was proposed to determine the predominant location of minor elements, such as Mg, Na, and K, in the mineral of pathological deposits. Mg and Na in pathological apatite can be in both structurally bound (substituting calcium in lattice) and labile (localized on the crystal surface) states, while K is not able to join the apatite structure in significant amount or be chemically bound to it. This approach, based on atomic spectrometry, can be used effectively in combination with a set of traditional techniques, such as like EDS, IRS, and XRD.

Authors: Ahmed Mohammed Rifaat , Abou-Halawa Ashraf Saad , Hessam Waheed F. , Abdelkader Diaa’ Salaheldin Aly 
Published: June 2018

Background
Otomycosis is a common ear problem in countries with hot and humid climate. Emergence of new fungal species is a possibility particularly in patients with chronic illness or who receives antibiotics either systemically or topically.

Aim
To identify the otomycotic species, which are responsible for developing the otomycosis.

Methods
A descriptive study was carried out in 63 patients who were clinically diagnosed with otomycosis. Swabs were taken from the fungal debris to identify the causative agent and to determine the effective antifungals against it.

Results

Aspergillus species were the most common agents and were found in 47 patients (74.6%), represented by A. fumigatus (36.5%), A. niger (27%), A. flavus (6.5%), and A. terreus (4.8%). Ketoconazole (90%) and miconazole (76%) were the most effective antifungals against the species obtained from cultures, whereas fluconazole was the least effective.

Conclusions
Although there is no change in the mycology of otomycosis, there is still a significant variability in the isolated species and in their sensitivity to antifungal drugs. Ketoconazole exhibited broad spectrum effect against fungal isolates in this study, whereas fluconazole was the least efficacious.
On two problems over polyhedral convex sets
Authors: Thieu Tran Vu 
Published: June 2018

In this paper, we are concerned with the following two problems often encountered in concave programming: Given the vertices and extreme detections of a polyhedral convex set Modefined by a system of linear constraints, determine the vertices and extreme directions of the polyhedral convex set obtained from M just by adding one new linear equality (or inequality) constraint.Among the constraints of a given polyhedral convex set, find those which are redundant, i.e. which can be removed without affecting the polyhedral convex set.

Reasoning in knowledge bases with external and internal uncertainties
Authors: Dieu Phan Đinh , Que Tran Dinh 
Published: June 2018

The paper presents a method of logical reasoning in knowledge bases with uncertainty; such a knowledge base is given by a set of “knowledges” of two following forms: 1) <S,I> where S is a sentence, and I Í[0,1] is an interval of the possible values for truth probability of S. 2) <S1,I1> Ù <S2,I2> Ù …Ù <Sn,In> ® <S,I>, where S1, S2,…, Sn, S are sentences, and I1, I2,…, In, I are the corresponding intervals of their truth probabilities. Let B be a such knowledge base, and S be a goal sentence. The interval of truth probabilities of S derived from B can be found by the proposed method.
Interval –valued probabilistic logic for logic programs
Authors: Dieu Phan Dinh , Giang Phan Hong 
Published: June 2018

This paper presents an approximate method for probabilistic entailment problem in knowledge bases where a portion of knowledge is given by a sentence in propositional logic accompanied with an interval presenting its truth probalibity. This method reduces the entailment problem to one of finding “prime implicants” of the target sentence expressed through sentences in the given knowledge base. It is shown that in the case of probabilistic logic programs the set of such prime implicants can be found by using the SLD-resolution method for usual definte logic programs.

On the equivalent descriptions of family of functional dependencies in the relational data model
Authors: Thi Vũ Đức 
Published: June 2018

The family of functional dependencies (FDs) was introduced by E.F. Codd. Equivalent descriptions of family of FDs play essential rules in the design and implementation of the relation datamodel. It is known [1,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,15] that closure operations, meet-semilattices, families of members which are not intersections of two other members give the equivalent descriptions of family of FDs. i.e. they and family of FDs determine each other uniquely. These equivalent description were successfully applied to find many desirable properties of functional dependency. This paper introduces the concept of maximal family of attributes. We prove that this family is an equivalent description of family of FDs. The concept of nonredundant family of attributes is also introduced in this paper. We present some characterizations and desirable properties of these families.
On adaptive filtering for high dimensional systems under parameter uncertainty and its application to satellite data assimilation in oceanography
Authors: Hoàng S, , Baraille R. , Talagrand O. , Carton X. , Mey P.De 
Published: June 2018

In this paper, the adaptive filtering theory, recently proposed and developed the authors of present work [1-9] for stochastic, encountered in the field of data as simulation in meteorology and oceanography, is reviewed. Several important questions on numerical estimation og the gain matrix, model reduction, structural choices for the gain, filter stability… are discussed. We show the connections of present approach with a standard Kalman filtering. Adaptive filter is implemented along with a Kalman filtering. Adaptive filter is implemented along with a Kalman filter and standard Newton relation method on the four-layer adiabatic Miami Isopycnical Co-ordinate Ocean Model (MICOM) to produce the estimate for the deep oceanic circulation using assimilate synthetic observations of surface height. Numerical results justify high efficiency of the adaptive filter whose performance is slightly better than that of a Kalman filter due to impossibility to correctly specify the error statistics in a Kalman filter.

On the relatively Pseudo-complement operation in finite RHAs
Authors: Minh Hồ Anh , Nam Huỳnh Văn 
Published: June 2018

Refined hedge algebras were introduced and investigated by Ho & Nam in [6--9]. It is known [9] that every refined hedge algebra (RHA, for short) with a chair of the primary generators is a distributive lattice. In this paper we restrict our consideration to finite version of RHAs (see [7, 9]). It is shown that every finite RHA is a Heyting (pseudo-Boolean) algebra. Furthermore, some computing results for the relatively pseudo-complement operation in these algebras will be exhibited.

Authors: Hung Dang Van 
Published: June 2018

The present paper introduces the notion of distributed transition systems for modeling, designing and understanding distributed computing systems. The concurrency can be expressed explicitly in the model. Some of the global properties of the systems are discussed and determined. It is shown in the paper that by keeping knowledge of other processes in each process of a system, some of its global properties can be synthesized from only few local process states.

Published: June 2018

Spontaneous isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection is an extremely rare nosological entity, usually occurring with acute abdominal pain. Authors present the case of a 56 - year - old female with spontaneous isolated SMA dissection who was admitted to the hospital with epigastric pain of acute onset. The patient was successfully managed nonoperatively, with anticoagulation starting immediately after diagnosis. Patient symptoms resolved after a few days. There is a discrepancy concerning the treatment of isolated SMA dissection. Generally, if there is no intestinal necrosis or SMA rupture, conservative treatment is safe and effective as an initial approach.

Published: June 2018

This research aims to determine 1) the possibility of integrating stereoscopic 3D images into textbooks as the medium giving material illustrations, and 2) the effect of using textbooks integrated with stereoscopic 3D images on the learning process. This research was conducted through a quasi-experiment in primary schools by using control class and experimental class. This research was joined by 52 participants (26 students in control class and 26 students in experimental class). The research conclusions indicate that, 1) stereoscopic 3D images can be integrated into textbooks as illustrations increasing the primary school students’ perception about classroom activities (i.e., motivation, interest, challenge and excitement). and 2) textbooks integrated with stereoscopic 3D images are proven effective in improving the students' concept mastery, as seen from the independent sample t-test by using SPSS resulting in a probability (p) value of 0.000 with a significance level of 0.05 so that p < 0, 05.
