Neopterin as an indicator of inflammation in chronic viral hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma
Authors: AYDIN Muhammed Fatih , NAMLI KOÇ Şule , AKBULUT Sabiye , OĞUZ Dilek 
Published: December 2018

Background and Aims: Neopterin is a
proinflammatory indicator that plays a role in cell-mediated immunity, and
elevated concentrations of neopterin indicate the presence of interferon-γ in
body fluids. In this study, neopterin concentrations were determined in
patients with a virus-induced chronic liver disease (chronic hepatitis, liver
cirrhosis, and hepatocellular cancer), inactive hepatitis B virus carriers, and
in a healthy control group to assess whether neopterin can be used as a disease
marker in patients with virus-induced chronic liver disease. Materials and Methods: A total of 110 subjects (42
females and 68 males, with an average age of 44±8.90 years) were included in
this study. Of these patients, 33 had chronic hepatitis; 22, liver cirrhosis;
22, hepatoma; 18, inactive hepatitis B virus carriers; and 15 were included in the
healthy control group. Neopterin levels were measured before and after
interferon treatment in patients with chronic hepatitis. Data collected among
the groups were analyzed statistically using the Mann-Whitney test, considering
p &lt; 0.05 as statistically significant. Results: Neopterin concentrations and gender showed no
statistically significant correlation. Patients with cirrhosis, hepatocellular
cancer, and chronic hepatitis had statistically significantly higher neopterin
levels than the healthy control and healthy carrier groups. A positive
correlation was observed between neopterin levels and other disease activity
indicators such as aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, hepatitis B
virus deoxyribonucleic acid, hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid, erythrocyte
sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein levels, and their levels were also
high. Although 14 patients, who were also evaluated after interferon treatment,
showed good response to the treatment, no statistically significant correlation
was observed between their neopterin levels and disease activity indicator
levels. Conclusion: Neopterin concentrations
were found to be significantly higher in patients with inflammation than in
inactive hepatitis B virus carriers who had no ongoing inflammatory activity
and in the healthy control group. No correlation was detected between neopterin
levels and hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid and hepatitis C virus
ribonucleic acid levels in patients who received interferon treatment and
benefitted from it. Although neopterin levels indicate inflammatory activity in
cases of chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular cancer,
additional studies are necessary to determine its usefulness in clinical
practice.

Evaluates long­term clinical outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) versus minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) surgery for the treatment of left anterior descending (LAD) lesions.Methods and Results. In this single­center study were included 130 patients with stable angina and significant (≥ 70 %) LAD disease. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to PCI with everolimus­eluting BVS (n=65) or MIDCAB (n=65). The primary end­point was major adverse cerebro­cardiovascular events (MACCE) and secondary was scaffold (graft) thrombosis at 1 year. The groups of patients were comparable for all baseline demographic, clinical and angiographic parameters. MACCE at 12 month occurred in 9.2 % of patients in the BVS group and in 4.6 % of patients in the MIDCAB group (p=0.3). There was no significant difference between the groups in rates of all cause death (1.5 % vs 1.5 %, p=1.0), myocardial infarction (3.1 % vs. 6.1 %, p=0.4), any revascularization (1.5 % vs. 6.1 %, p=0.1) and scaffold (graft) thrombosis (1.5 % vs. 1.5 %, p=1.00).Conclusion. At 12­month follow up, there was no significant difference in the rate of MACCE between PCI by BVS and MIDCAB in patients with isolated LAD lesions.
Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators are the Main Link in the Modern Concept of Sudden Cardiac Death Prevention. Problems and Prospects of the Development of the Method
Authors: Bokeria L. A. , Neminushchiy N. M. , Postol A. S. 
Published: December 2018

The article covers the development of the problem of sudden cardiac death prevention with the implantable cardioverter­defibrillators from the moment of creation of these devices to our days. The current concept of primary prevention of sudden cardiac death, based on the severity of manifestation of heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction, is not effective enough. Its practical application is difficult because it requires mass application of implantable defibrillators, with low predictive accuracy of these criteria in terms of development of life­threatening arrhythmias. The development of methods for visualizing the myocardium, allowing to assess the severity of myocardial fibrosis, as well as the possibilities of medical genetics, at the present stage, allows us to clarify indications for implantation of cardioverter­defibrillators and thereby significantly improve the concept of preventing sudden cardiac death with these instruments.
A Diagnostic Imaging Method – Shear Wave Elastography
Authors: Zemanova Marketa 
Published: December 2018

Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging technique, that maps the elastic properties of tissues. Nowadays this modality develops increasingly in medicine across its disciplines and opens a new era of high-quality ultrasound examination because it increases the specificity and thus improves diagnostic assurance. This method is similar to manual palpation, shows elastic properties of biological tissues and provides a kind of reconstruction of the internal structure of soft tissues based on measurement of the response of tissue compression. Results: This method is already used routinely in the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer and thyroid cancer, prostate cancer, in hepatology, cardiology, view of the carotid arteries and lymphatic nodules. Standards of elasticity values for human tissues such as the mammary gland, liver, prostate or thyroid gland are progressively being created across the medical fields. Finally, the article examines its unquestioned benefit in ophthalmology. In ophthalmology, it already appears as an up-and-coming method in diagnostics and in evaluating the changes in oculomotor muscles and orbital tissues in patients with endocrine orbitopathy. Conclusion: Shear wave elastography offers three main innovations: the quantitative aspect, dimensional resolution, and real-time imaging ability. Determination of the utilization rate of this method and its inclusion into the diagnostics of endocrine orbitopathy is still a question and the subject of presently conducted clinical studies.

Published: December 2018

The aim of this experiment is to develop a protocol to establish the in vitro propagation potential of Lythrum salicaria L (purple loosestrife).
Seeds of L. salicaria were germinated
and grown in Murashige Skoog (MS) medium for 30 days. At the end of 30 days, shoot tips of L. salicaria were cultured on MS medium supplemented with different
combinations and concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP; 1, 2 and 3 mg/L) and
1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA; 0, 0.1 and 0.5 mg/L). Regenerated shoots were transferred
to MS supplemented with varying concentrations of different auxins: NAA (0.5
and 1 mg/L) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA; 0.5 and 1.0 mg/L) for rooting. Among
the cytokinins investigated, BAP indicated the best response to initiate shoot
elongation and multiple shoot formation alone. The highest number of shoot per
explant (37±3.38) was obtained in MS medium with 1 mg/L BAP. Although, the
highest shoot length (3.1 cm ± 0.48) was found on medium with 1 mg/L BAP+0.5 mg/L
NAA, there were no statistically differences among all types of medium.
Percentage of rooting, shoot length and root length were altered significantly
with different concentrations of NAA and IBA. Thus, shoot length (9.5 cm±0.46),
root length (4.1 cm±0.13) and the percentage of rooting (100%) increased
significantly with a concentration of 1 mg/L NAA. It was concluded that MS medium with 1 mg/L
NAA has been superior for root development compared to other hormone
concentrations.

Published: December 2018

Introduction: Today, the infectious wastes of hospitals are considered as a public health problem. Considering the huge amounts of hazardous wastes and the disadvantages of incinerators, we need to investigate the non-combustible devices involved in biochemical treatment. This study was carried out with the aim of evaluating the cost-effectiveness of infectious wastes devices.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and economic efficiency of the infectious waste devices in Yazd and Isfahan hospitals. In this study, the total cost of infectious waste treatment systems in hospitals, the Incremental Cost Effectiveness Ratio (ICER), as well as the sensitivity rate for the reduction of infectious wastes were calculated using Treeage software version 2011. In order to calculate the cost effectiveness using the total cost and the amount of produced waste, we applied the discount rate of five percent and the useful life of 10 years for each device.
Results: Based on the results, devices A and F had the highest and the lowest total cost, respectively. In addition, autoclave D with an ICER of 257.20 was more cost effective than other devices. So, device D, with a discount rate of ±5 and a range of 244.244 - 270.06 was chosen as the best option for infectious waste disposal.
Conclusion: The results can be used to explore and outline the future prospects for choosing the best technology for treatment of infectious waste in hospitals. In other words, we have different options on different circumstances and occasions

Published: December 2018

Introduction: Unsustainable natural resources utilization is on the increase in the developing countries thus the ability of many local communities to meet their basic needs including food, water and shelter is jeopardized. Uncontrolled gold-mining in Sikasso region is one such an anthropogenic activity that is of great environmental concern to the local and national governments of Mali owing to its potential impacts on water quality, human health and environment. This study was conceived to assess the impacts of artisanal gold mining on water quality in Tangandougou in Sikasso region of Mali.Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, water samples were collected, processed and analyzed for heavy metals (Lead, Cadmium and Arsenic) according to APHA protocols. Measurements of physical parameters of water quality were done according to APHA protocols. Data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: There were no significant spatial differences in physical and chemical parameters (pH, Temperature, Conductivity, total dissolved solids and Salinity) of water quality amongst the sampling sites. However, the heavy metals concentrations in the sampled water exceeded WHO drinking water quality guidelines.Conclusion: It was concluded that the water of Sankarani River and its tributaries is contaminated and may cause adverse effects on human health due to biomagnification and the bioaccumulative nature of heavy metals. Therefore, the study recommends continuous monitoring of the water quality in all water sources adjacent to gold-mining areas to protect human and environmental health.
The Nature of Disposition (Fiṭrah) in Relation with Religion
Authors: BOR Adil , ŞAHİN Harun 
Published: December 2018

The thought of the Qurʾān consists of certain concepts. The concept of “fitrah”, which expresses the physical and spiritual side of people, is one of crucial concepts which stands for the conception of the Qurʾān. It is for this very reason that the concept has caught the attention of scholars from the earliest times of Islam. Usually, the concept of “fiṭra” is interpreted as the religion of Islāmand the initial creation or the potential of human’s acception to religion and whether they can change or not. In this context, a connection has been established between the “word of khalqullah” in the capture of Rūm and the same word in Nisā. In this study, the essence of “fiṭrah” will be examined and the basic elements of “fiṭrah” will be elaborated on. Moreover, whether wisdom, affection, love and ugliness are among the basic components of fitrah or not will be discussed. In addition, possible connections between the verse of “Fiṭrah” and the words of “tabdīl” and “taġyīr” will be investigated.

Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND: Aedes aegypti is a vector of several pathogens including dengue virus. Vector control is an effective way to break the transmission but unfortunately constant use of insecticides ultimately causes vector resistance. Pyrethroids have been used for about 15 years to combat Ae. aegypti in Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia. Single amino acid substitutions in the voltagegated sodium channel associated with pyrethroid resistance constitute one of the main causative factors of knockdown resistance (kdr). The aim of this study is to detect resistant status to cypermetrine and polymorphism on the voltagegated sodium channel gene of Ae. aegypti from 2 dengue endemic areas in Yogyakarta Province (Yogyakarta city and Sleman district).METHODS: Pyrethroid resistance in Ae. aegypti mosquitoes was detected by using CDC Bottle Bioassay. To detect the polymorphism on the voltage-gated sodium channel gene of Ae. aegypti analyses were conducted by using PCR and direct DNA squencing with primers AaSCF1 and AaSCR4 for S989P, I1011M (or V), L1014F sites, and AaSCF7 and AaSCR7 for the F1534C site.RESULTS: According to bioassay, the results for Ae. aegypti from Yogyakarta city (93% mortality) and Sleman district (88% mortality) suggest the possibility of resistance to cypermethrin. We observed polymorphism on voltagegated sodium channel gene on site F1534C (heterozygous).CONCLUSION: The findings provide early evidence that the use of cypermethrin (pyrethroids) in Yogyakarta city and Sleman district, Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia is reducing its effectiveness to control Ae. aegypti. Recommendations include additional tests for confirmation.KEYWORDS: Aedes aegypti, dengue virus, cypermethrin, Bioassay, Yogyakarta
