Jelen közleményünk annak a sorozatnak a nyolcadik része, melynek célja a Magyaror­szág edényes növényfajainak elterjedési atlasza térképeinek kiegészítése, főként aktuális előfordulási adatokkal. A dolgozat 157 kvadrátban 539 edényes taxon elterjedési adatait pontosítja. Az érintett kvadrátok többsége a Dunántúlon található. Egy kvadrát a szisztematikus felméréseknek köszönhetően 190-nél is több fajjal egészült ki. Néhány aszfaltút célirányos átvizsgálásának köszönhetően a Puccinellia distans 68 kvadrátból került elő új fajként. Mindkét adat arra utal, hogy a hiányok miatt az adatpótló közleményekre továbbra is nagy szükség van. A felsorolt taxonok döntő része gyakori, sok­szor gyom jellegű elem, néhányuk azonban hazánkban szórványos vagy ritka (pl. Nigella arvensis, Vaccaria hispanica, Rumex pulcher, Urtica urens), olykor védett növény (pl. Asplenium adiantum-nigrum, Dryopteris affinis, Gymnocarpium dryopteris, Huperzia selago). Néhány, olyan alkalmi kivaduló és meg­honosodóban lévő növényt is megemlítünk, amelyek nem szerepelnek a legutóbbi magyarországi új­jövevény növények listájában (pl. Acer cissifolium, Cyperus alternifolius, Gaillardia aristata, Galanthus elwesii). A kitekintésben felhívjuk a figyelmet néhány olyan magyarországi szinantróp élőhely flórafel­tártságának hiányára (pl. útszegélyek, kertek, virágágyások), melyek igen komoly szerepet játszhatnak a meghonosodó, majd özönfajjá váló gyomok terjedésében.

Aim. To prove the efficiency of using a new variant of leg tutor for correction of locomotor system pathology in treatment of equvinus foot deformity.
Materials and methods. A mean age of 23 patients with hemiparesis and equvinus foot deformity was 42.5 years. Tonus and strength of legs was assessed. Angulometric and stabilometric studies were realized.
Results. The developed model of leg tutor was used. To eliminate equvinus foot deformity, hyperextension of the knee joint was gradually eliminated using individual choice of the heel form and height, thus strengthening a quadriceps muscle of the thigh. The knee joint stability increased, the intensity of pain syndrome reduced. Arthropathies and deformities of the knee joint were prevented. Innovation of the developed model is the following: a soft glue-based responsive side of textile band “Contact” “Velcro” was stably fixed to the outside surface of posterior third of the plantar part of tutor sleeve. To the responsive side of a textile band, there were fixed removable heel pads (heels from microporous rubber of different height (from 5 to 25 mm) with a responsive hard (with hooks) part of textile band “Contact” “Velcro”). Tutor provided the ability to move and guaranteed stable holding of the extremity segments in the posterior position. There was observed a positive dynamics of changes in the muscular tonus of paralyzed leg.
Conclusions. The developed tutor model can be used in orthopedic-traumatological practice to correct equvinus foot deformity; the model efficiency is confirmed by clinical and stabilometric parameters.

Aim. To compare the maternal mortality (MM) indices in Perm Krai with MM indices in the Russian Federation (RF) and Privolzhskiy Federal District over the past 20 years.
Materials and methods. On the basis of official statistical data, intensive indices and image indices, mean multiyear MM indices, 95 % confidence intervals, median, 25 and 75 percentile indices were calculated. The mean multiyear indices are presented as M (mean value) ± SD (standard deviation).
Results. According to official statistical data, the mean multiyear (1997–2016) indices of MM coefficient in Perm Krai tend to decline, but they do not reliably differ from the analogous indices in RF. During the last 20 years, there was noted a steady and obvious decrease in MM index on the territory of Perm Krai, especially marked for the last 2 years (2015–2016) that resulted in appearance of statistically significant differences regarding this index in Perm Krai compared to these indices in RF as a whole.
Conclusions. Perm Krai is a rather favorable region as far as rendering of medical aid to pregnant, parturient women and puerperas is concerned.

Published: December 2018

<p>As information and communication technology (ICT) plays more important role in recent years, the use of ICT tools and media is more common in learning language. One of ICT media that is promising for language learning is online games because they facilitate incidental language learning as they inherently form part of reading, listening, speaking, and writing. This case study aims to investigate the opinion of gamers about the use of online game <em>Defense of the Ancient 2 (DoTA 2) </em>to learn language. Data were collected through field observation, semi-structured interview, and documentation. Two participants were interviewed. The findings of this research is that <em>DoTA 2</em> supports incidental English language learning because it is easy to use and understand the langauge in the game platform; the content encourages gamers to use English so that gamers learn new vocabularies and practice their English reading skill while playing; the social interaction through chat room and voice chat in planning strategies encorage gamers to communicate in English; the enjoyment from the motivation to win the game makes gamers practice English in team strategy discussion. However, <em>DoTA 2</em> only focuses on the action of strategies to win the game rather than intended interaction to learn language.</p>

<p>The purposes of this research were to study the effects of online peer tutoring on the first-year undergraduate students’ English grammar achievement and to examine their satisfaction towards an online peer tutoring process. The sample used in this study consisted of 53 first-year English major students, registered for the course of English Structure 2 in Semester 2/2017. The research instruments used for data collection were pre-and post-tests, a questionnaire with a reliability of 0.84, and a semi-structured interview. The obtained quantitative data were analyzed by mean, percentage, standard deviation, and paired sample t-test, while the students’ answers from the interview were analyzed based on the qualitative analytical methods. The results showed that the students’ English grammar achievement was significantly improved at the .01 level after the process of online peer tutoring covering five compulsory grammar points in the course syllabus, comprising conditional clause, indirect speech, causative form, transitional words, and subjunctive mood. Besides, the students’ satisfaction towards the online peer tutoring process was overall rated at a very high level as it, compared to in-class activities and a traditional teaching method, more apparently helped promote not only students’ grammatical knowledge retention, sense of responsibility, and genuine collaboration with classmates but also their motivation and confidence in using English for daily communication.</p>

Background: The success of any prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) program is assessed by the proportion of HIV-exposed infants that sero-convert at the end of all risk exposures. Although adopting the best feeding option for HIV-exposed infants is one of the factors that impact PMTCT outcomes, there is limited data on the assessment of PMTCT success rates based on antiretroviral interventions and feeding options. This study assesses the success rate of PMTCT service based on antiretroviral interventions and feeding options.
Methods: Eighty-five HIV-infected mothers previously in care were enrolled in a prospective cohort study. Folders and structured questionnaires were used to extract data on mother-infant pair and the first CD4, count of infected mothers on enrolment at PMTCT clinic. Dry blood spot samples were obtained from exposed infants for early infant diagnosis. Results were analyzed using the SPSS software.
Results: The mean age of enrolled mothers was 31.3 ± 4.4 years, and an average CD4+ T-lymphocyte count of 368.6 ± 216.2 cells/µl. Seven (8.2%) of the HIV-exposed infants were positive for HIV-1 based on early infant diagnosis results. Overall PMTCT success rate (PMTCTSR) was 91.8%. HIV-1 prevalence of 5.0%, 0% and 21.1% was found among infants of patients who opted for breastfeeding, replacement feeding, and mixed feeding respectively thus yielding PMTCT success rates of 95%, 100% and 78.9%. Pediatric antiretroviral interventions success rates in HIV-exposed infants was 95.8%, 80.0% and 66.7% based on age groups ? 6 months, > 6 ? 12 months, and > 12 ? 18 months respectively.
Conclusion and Global Health Implications: Quality PMTCT service is vital for successful prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Implementation of more dynamic approaches such as adherence to option B+ guidelines in PMTCT service in our settings can further reduce mother-to-child transmission of HIV and improve outcomes.

Published: December 2018

Abstract
Background: This study aimed to determine the influence of intraoperative use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) flurbiprofen on postoperative level of programmed death 1 (PD-1) in patients undergoing thoracoscope surgery.
Methods: In this prospective double-blind trial, patients were randomized to receive intralipid (Control group, n=34, 0.1ml/kg, i.v.) or flurbiprofen axetil (Flurbiprofen group, n=34, 1mg/kg, i.v.) before the induction of anesthesia and 6 hours after the initial injection. PD-1 level on T-cell subsets, inflammation and immune markers in peripheral blood were examined before induction of anesthesia (T0), and after surgery (24 hours (T1), 72 hours (T2) and 1 week (T3)). A linear mixed model was used to examine whether the changes from baseline values (T0) between groups were different during our study.
Results: The increases in the percentages of PD-1(+)CD8(+) T-cell observed at T1 and T2 in the control group were higher than in the flurbiprofen group (T1:12.91%±1.65% versus 7.86%±5.71%, P=0.031; T2:11.54%±1.54% versus 8.75%±1.73%, P=0.004) while no difference was observed at T1 and T2 between the groups in terms of change in percentages of PD-1(+)CD4(+) T-cell. Moreover, extensive changes in the percentages of lymphocytes subsets and the concentrations of inflammatory markers was observed at T1 and T2 after surgery, and flurbiprofen seemed to attenuate the most of changes.
Conclusion: Perioperative administration of flurbiprofen attenuated postoperative PD-1 increase on CD8(+) T-cell up to 72 hours, but not after this time. The clinical relevance of changes with PD-1 to long-term outcome of surgery is still unknown.

Self-administered acupressure for allergic rhinitis: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Authors: Liang Yaqun , Lenon George Binh , Yang Angela Wei Hong 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an IgE-mediated inflammatory disease. Current conventional therapies for AR are unsatisfactory. Acupuncture has been recommended as an optional treatment for AR patients who are interested in non-pharmacotherapy in the new clinical practice guidelines for AR. Acupressure is a sub-type of acupuncture which is non-invasive with a low risk and can be self-administered. However, the current limited evidence is compromised by the high risk of bias and heterogeneity of methodology. Therefore, rigorously designed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are needed. This proposed RCT aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of self-administered acupressure for the management of AR.
Methods/design: We have designed a randomized, single blind, non-specific controlled, two-arm, parallel clinical trial involving a 2-week run-in period, a 4-week intervention period and an 8-week follow-up period. The eligible participants will be randomized into either specific or non-specific acupressure group. They will be required to perform self-administered acupressure on either 5 specific acupressure points or 5 non-specific acupressure points, one minute for each point, twice a day for 4 weeks. Participants will be asked to complete self-administered questionnaires for outcome measures including 7-point scale of symptom severity, Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire with Standardized Activities (RQLQs), relief medication scores, adverse events and participants’ opinion of this study at the different assessment points throughout the trial period. Data will be analyzed by chi-square, t-test or ANOVA using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software.
Discussion: The findings from this study will provide scientific evidence for the efficacy and safety of self-administered acupressure for the management of AR. This study may assist to develop a non-cost, non-invasive self-management method for AR sufferers.

A Comparison of Ocular Trauma Scores in a Pediatric Population
Authors: Awidi AbdelHalim A , Kraus Courtney 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Background: Pediatric ocular trauma represents a major concern for ophthalmologists. Delays in presentation, incomplete exams, inaccurate visual acuity (VA) results, and amblyopia can limit accurately predicting final visual outcomes in pediatric eye trauma. We performed a retrospective clinical study to describe the demographics and causes of eye trauma. We also compared 2 ocular trauma scoring systems, one specifically designed for pediatric trauma, to classify injuries and determine which better predicted VA outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of 3 years of pediatric globe trauma was performed. Analysis was focused on mechanisms of injury and VA outcomes. Complex factors that may worsen outcomes were recorded. Ocular Trauma Score (OTS) and Pediatric Ocular Trauma Score (POTS) were used to assign Groups 1-5 to each case. Group 1 was poorest prognosis, Group 5 best. Association between Group and final VA was examined. Accuracy of the two systems was compared.
Results: 23 children met eligibility criteria (13 male). Initial VA averaged 20/200 (range NLP – 20/20). Final VA was 20/150 (range NLP - 20/20). Objects of injury were sharp metallic household objects (7), miscellaneous (4), toys (3), BB pellets (2), stick/wood (2), pencil/pen (1).
OTS was assigned to 16 patients who had initial VA data available. POTS was calculated for all 23 patients, with a supplemental equation standing in for initial VA in 7 patients. The predictive ability for final VA of the POTS appeared stronger than OTS.
Conclusions: The chance of vision loss in a child following ocular trauma is high. Unlike in adults, initial VA is not as easily obtained or accurate in this population. Many ocular trauma scores give initial VA greater weight in outcome prediction models, which unfairly penalizes pediatric patients. Using the POTS developed by Acar et al, we were able to validate its grouping system and found improved correlation with VA outcomes compared to OTS.

The purpose of the work was to study peripheral refraction in myopic patients without correction, in soft contact lenses (SCL), in monofocal glasses, and in Perifocal-M glasses.Material and methods. A total of 97 patients (184 eyes) aged 9–18 years with various degrees of myopia were examined. The peripheral refraction was measured using a Grand Seiko WR-5100K binocular open-field autorefractometer without correction, in glasses, and in the SCL. For the eviation of gaze, a nozzle was designed, which was attached to the device stand at a distance of 50 cm from the patient's eyes. On the nozzle, there were 4 marks for fixing the gaze in the position of 15° and 30° to the nose (N) and to the temple (T) from the central position.Results. In patients with myopia of various degrees without correction and with correction by monofocal glasses, hyperopic defocus formed in all zones on average. In eyes that were corrected with SCL and were mildly myopic in all zones, hyperopic defocus was detected. In moderate myopia, myopic defocus was detected in the zones T30° and N30°. With a high degree of myopia, myopic defocus was detected on the periphery in all zones except T15°, reaching -2.23 ± 1.35 D in the T30° zone and -1.56 ± 0.82 D in the N30° zone. In Perifocal-M glasses, myopic defocus formed in mildly myopic eyes: in the T15° zone its value was -0.95 ± 0.12 D, -0.24 ± 0.05 D in the N15° zone, and -1.14 ± 0.13 D in the T30° zone. Hyperopic defocus was observed only in the zone at N30°, and its value was minimal compared to other types of correction which was 0.13 ± 0.05 D. In moderate myopia, myopic defocus was observed only in the zone N15° at -0.28 ± 0.04 D. In all other zones, hyperopic defocus remained, but its magnitude was minimal compared to monofocal glasses: 0.6 ± 0.1 D at T30°, 0.05 ± 0.04 D at T15°, and 0.74 ± 0.11 D at N30°. Conclusion. In relation to peripheral defocus, perifocal glasses have an advantage in correcting myopia of a low and, in part, moderate degree.
