Group Therapy: Sources of Enchantment
Authors: Polster Erving 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
In this article, the author discusses the history of group therapy and Gestalt therapy, drawing on his experiences of working as a client/trainee in Gestalt groups with Fritz Perls. The theme of universality and the appreciation of simple existence are approached in the context of Gestalt groups. The intersection of the arts and Gestalt therapy is also examined. Also studied are the experiences of cosmic embeddedness and of microcosm. Gestalt groups are viewed as a form of populist therapy.
Ancillary Studies in the Diagnostic Evaluation of Large B-Cell Lymphoma
Authors: Cunningham Ashley M. , Harrington Alexandra M. 
Published: October 2019

Context.—
Large B-cell lymphoma classification has changed significantly over the decades, evolving from a purely morphologic categorization to one using sophisticated ancillary studies including molecular analysis, immunohistochemistry, and cytogenetics, in addition to morphology and clinical presentation.

Objective.—
To discuss and interpret the key ancillary studies required for subclassification in 2019 and review the differential diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (DLBCL, NOS).

Data Sources.—
Recent literature on the subcategories of large B-cell lymphoma is reviewed, along with relevant updates from the 2016 World Health Organization Classification of Tumours of Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues, with an emphasis on Epstein-Barr virus–positive lymphoproliferative disorders, high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements, and large B-cell lymphoma with IRF4 rearrangement.

Conclusions.—
Cases with DLBCL, NOS histology can be further subclassified on the basis of cell of origin studies, Epstein-Barr virus–encoded small RNAs, MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangement studies, and other relevant cytogenetic and immunohistochemical studies. The diagnosis of DLBCL, NOS is therefore a diagnosis of exclusion.

Published: October 2019

A seringueira (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.) tem sido cultivada para extração de látex e utilizada para produção de madeira ao fim do ciclo produtivo do látex. A secagem é uma etapa fundamental no processamento mecânico da madeira. No caso da madeira de seringueira, faz-se particularmente necessária a secagem artificial em estufa para a sua utilização, devido à alta susceptibilidade ao ataque de fungos emboloradores e apodrecedores quando úmida. Dessa maneira, este trabalho teve como objetivo elaborar e avaliar programa de secagem convencional para quatro clones de Hevea brasiliensis (IAN-873, IAN-717, GT-711 e AVROS-1301) plantados nos municípios de Ituberá e Grapiúna, no Estado da Bahia, Brasil. O programa de secagem convencional utilizado, com temperatura inicial de 50°C e final de 75°C, aplicado em uma estufa Hildebrand tipo “Test Dryer” com controle automático Gann, foi eficiente, produzindo uma secagem muito rápida (menos de 4 dias para os clones IAN-873, IAN-717 e GT-711) e rápida (4,5 dias para o clone AVROS-1301), observando-se uma baixa incidência de defeitos de secagem.

Published: October 2019

O carvão ativado pulverizado quando bem embalado e estocado não possui um prazo de validade regulamentado. Em geral, esta validade é determinada de acordo com requisitos estabelecidos pelo próprio fabricante e está diretamente relacionada a uma estimativa de tempo superior ao tempo em que o produto ficará estocado no cliente até a sua utilização. Neste trabalho, avaliou-se a eficiência de carvões ativados de base seca e umectados, relacionando parâmetros de capacidade adsortiva (índice de iodo e umidade) destes materiais com o tempo. Os carvões contendo superfície alcalina não apresentaram variação nos parâmetros avaliados ao longo do tempo de armazenamento, pois não apresentaram significância estatística, uma vez que os valores de Fregressão<Fcrítico e os valores de p> 0,05, tanto para base seca como úmida. Dos carvões com caráter ácido (pH corrigido), apenas um tipo foi mais sensível à adsorção de umidade e iodo ao longo do tempo. A partir da equação de reta oriunda da análise de regressão linear para este carvão, obteve-se a correlação Índice de Iodo = 824 – 0,370 x dias, indicando que o tempo de armazenamento para este material foi igual a 605 dias, garantindo que o valor do índice de iodo seja igual ao valor limite de 600 mg I2.g-1 carvão.

Published: October 2019

Purpose
The therapeutic approach for retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration has not been fully established. Recently, it has been reported that hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) may be involved with retinal neurodegeneration. In this study, we investigated neuroprotective effects of a HIF inhibitor against RGC degeneration induced in a murine model of retinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R).

Methods
Eight-weeks-old male C57/BL6J mice were treated with intraperitoneal injection of a HIF inhibitor topotecan (1.25 mg/kg) for 14 days followed by a retinal I/R procedure. Seven days after the I/R injury, the therapeutic effect was evaluated histologically and electrophysiologically.

Results
The increase of HIF-1α expression and the decrease of retinal thickness and RGC number in I/R were significantly suppressed by administration of topotecan. Impaired visual function in I/R was improved by topotecan evaluated with electroretinogram and visual evoked potentials.

Conclusions
Topotecan administration suppressed HIF-1a expression and improved RGC survival resulting in a functional protection against retinal I/R. These data indicated that the HIF inhibitor topotecan may have therapeutic potentials for RGC degeneration induced with retinal ischemia or high intraocular pressure.

Published: October 2019

Aims: The study aimed to isolate and characterize 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) resistant Saccharomyces cerevisiae from fruits to establish distinctive bread making technology using wild-type yeasts in the future.
Study Design: The research was conducted experimentally.
Place and Duration of Study: Yamagata University, Yamagata, Japan, from April 2015 to March 2019.
Methodology: Wild-type yeasts with 2-DG resistance were isolated using the following experiments: 1. Separation by yeast nitrogen base-maltose plate medium, 2. Carbon dioxide (CO2) and ethanol production tests, 3. Leavening ability tests using bread doughs, 4. Sequence analysis. The identified yeast strain was used for freezing and drying torelance tests. Moreover, it tried to improve drying tolerance of yeasts.
Results: Yeasts were separated from twenty varieties of five fruits species. Among them, a yeast strain (YTPR1) isolated from pear Redbartllet fruits was identified as S. cerevisiae. YTPR1 possessed high fermentation ability and freezing tolerance, however, CO2 and ethanol production decreased after lyophilization of yeasts. In contrast, the cultivation with trehalose, glycerol, and L-glutamic acid at low concentration enhanced the fermentation ability of YTPR1.
Conclusion: Yeast YTPR1 isolated from pear Redbartllet fruits utilized maltose as well as glucose, fructose, and sucrose. To improve drying tolerance of yeast YTPR1, it was useful to incubate with 6% trehalose, 0.1-2.0% glycerol and 1.0% L-glutamic acid.

Published: October 2019

‘Return Migration’ is defined as the “voluntary movement of migrants back to their place of origin”. It is the logical consequences of the successful achievement of all migration-related goals and targets. Return migration has been becoming a very common phenomenon in rural areas; and it may be due to factors like insecurity feeling in urban areas and lack of freedom in working place, opportunities created under schemes like MGNAREGA in rural areas and other family-related issues. When youths returned to their place of origin (Rural areas) they may not have much alternative to taking up as an occupation other than agriculture and allied activities for their livelihood, in this process the return migrated rural youths had faced and/or perceived many constraints in agripreneurship development. In present study 180 return migrated rural youths of southern India were purposively selected, constraints were operationalized as all the factors, such as social, psychological, economic, technical, marketing and infrastructural which obstruct the youths to take up agriprenuership. For measuring constraints, “Garrett’s Ranking Technique” was used. The salient findings were low social recognition in the agriculture business (62.21), Lack of technical guidance in scientific cultivation (61.50), Lack of proper market intelligence (65.79) and Lack of awareness of different funding schemes and their procedures (59.91), etc. were the major constraints perceived by the return migrated rural youths in the study area. Hence promotion and recognition of rural youths in agriculture and allied activities would apparently motivate the youths more dynamically, in agripreneurship development.

Published: October 2019

Aim: This study was designed to assess the levels of chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni) in water and fish to monitor the toxicity risk of consuming these fish.
Place and Duration of Studies: The water and fish samples were obtained from Farin gada river, Liberty Dam, Dahwol-Tohort and Diye-Tohort mining ponds, all within Jos Metropolis, Plateau State, Nigeria, between March and April, 2018.
Methodology: Water and six fish species samples were collected from four different locations, digested and analysed using Buck Scientific Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, model 210VGP.
Results: Farin gada river had all the four metals studied in varying concentrations in the following order Mn>Ni>Co>Cr with Mn having the highest mean concentration of 0.4133±0.0100 mg/L. The concentrations of the metals in the other three sources were in the order of Ni>Co>Cr with Mn not detected. Cr also was not detected in Lamingo Dam. The concentrations of Mn and Ni in all the water sources were higher than the World Health Organisation (WHO) maximum permissible limits of 0.05 mg/L and 0.06 mg/L respectively. Petrocephalus bovei recorded the highest mean concentrations of Mn and Ni, while Co was highest in Clarias gariepinus species. The concentrations of these metals in the head, body and gills of the fish species showed that the head of Petrocephalus bovei species had the highest concentrations of all the metals except chromium. Fish species from other water sources exhibited the same general pattern of Head˃gill˃body except Co which was found to accumulate more in the body than in other parts of the fish.
Conclusion: The results showed that there was biomagnification of these metals from water to the fish as the concentration of the metals in the fish far exceeded those of the water sources from which they were obtained and Petrocephalus bovei species has the highest potential to biomagnified all the metals.

Published: October 2019

Acetaminophen, used for antipyretic and analgesic purposes has been known to exhibit toxic effects on the organs because of its ability to generate free radicals, causing varieties of diseases. This study investigated the impact of the combined formed of Garcinia kola seed and Vitamin E pretreatment exposure on hepatotoxicity and oxidative stress induced by acetaminophen in Albino Rats. Five groups of animals were used for this study. Group 1 as the control received distilled water orally only, group 2 as toxicity control intoxicated with 800 mg acetaminophen intraperitoneally. The other three groups were pretreated with various doses of either Garcinia kola seed extract or vitamin E or a combined form respectively by oral gavage method for 7 days before induction with acetaminophen intraperitoneally on the 8th day and sacrificed under chloroform anaethesia. Acetaminophen induction significantly rise (p<0.05) the hepatic enzyme levels (ALT, AST, and ALP) and a marked reduction of the antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT and GPX) in group 2 animals when compared with the control. There was also a significant rise (p<0.05) in the MDA levels. Meanwhile the combined form of Garcinia kola seed extract and Vitamin E pretreatment exposure on the organs showed no synergetic ameliorative potentials as compared with the single pretreatment exposure with Garcinia kola and Vitamin E respectively. The morphology of the tissue cells pretreated with these combined formed exhibited features showing signs of cell damages and slow recovery from the toxicity. Therefore combining Garcinia kola and Vitamin E may lost its ameliorative and protective effect as seen in this induced acetaminophen albino rats implying that Garcinia kola seed and Vitamin E should not be taken in a combined form.

Study Design: The experiment was laid in Randomized Complete Block Design with seven treatments replicated thrice.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at Kigogo Primary school in Meru South Sub-county, Tharaka Nithi County, Kenya. The experiment ran for two consecutive seasons the short rains of 2017 (October to December) and long rains of 2018 (March through June).
Methodology: There were seven treatments replicated thrice. The treatments included Tithonia diversifolia, Phosphate rock (PR), Goat manure, Tithonia diversifolia + Phosphate rock, Goat manure + Phosphate rock, Triple superphosphate + Calcium ammonium nitrate and a Control (no soil external inputs). The test crop was maize (Zea mays L.) H516 variety. Soil organic carbon followed modified Walkley and Black oxidation method while acid phosphatase enzyme activity was essayed following the method by Tabatabai and Bremner.
Results: Goat manure + phosphate rock, sole phosphate rock and use of goat manure significantly (P= .0001) increased soil organic carbon by 198, 100 and 71% compared to the control. Tithonia diversifolia reported a 3.4-fold increase in soil organic carbon compared to the control in short rains of 2017. Goat manure gave higher soil organic carbon by 135% compared to the control in the long rains of 2018. Goat manure + phosphate rock treatment significantly (P= .0002) increased the phosphatase activity by a difference of 1.12% compared with the control, with 2.14% decreases under TSP+CAN treatment compared to the control.
Conclusion: The results showed that integration of phosphate rock and manure could have a far-reaching influence on soil organic carbon and acid phosphatase activity thus could be recommended for improved soil productivity in humic nitisols in similar agro-ecological zones.

Published: October 2019

Background: Untreated maternal Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection is associated with adverse pregnancy outcome including preterm birth, low birth weight, and mother-to-child transmission of the virus. This study aimed to compare the pregnancy outcome between HIV infected mothers who received ART in pregnancy and those who were ART-naïve.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of HIV-infected mothers who brought their infants for follow up between November 2007 and May 2017 at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Relevant information obtained include: time of diagnosis, antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen and when it was commenced, gestational age at delivery and birthweight of child, mode of delivery, infant feeding option and ARV prophylaxis. Infection status of the infant was determined by DNA PCR at 6weeks of age. Based on when ART was commenced, mothers were grouped into three [(HAART experienced (HE) if ART was started before pregnancy, HAART in pregnancy (HIP) and HAART naive (NH) if no HAART was taken in pregnancy]. Main outcome measures were rates of prematurity, low birth weight, mean birth weight, birth defects and mother-to-child transmission.
Result: A total of 1,640 HIV-exposed infants were seen (716(43.6%) in HE, 360(22.0%) in HIP and 564(34.4%) in NH groups). There were 825(50.3%) males and 815(49.7%) females. Zidovudine/Lamivudine and Nevirapine/Efavirenz was the most frequently used combined ART in 724 (67.3%) mothers. The mean birthweight was 3.12±0.38Kg; range 1.2 – 5.7Kg (3.11±0.58Kg in HE; 3.13±0.53Kg in HIP; 3.18±0.74Kg in NH) Table 3. A hundred and eighty (11.0%) babies were preterm [76(42.2%) in HE; 26(14.4%) in HIP; 78(43.3%) in NH](p=0.007), while 159(9.7%) were LBW [74(46.5%) in HE; 22(13.8%) in HIP; 63(39.6%) in NH](p=0.03). Fourteen (0.9%) babies had birth defects [5(35.7%) in HE; 9(64.3%) in HIP] (p=0.01). The commonest birth defects were neural tube defect 7(50%) and congenital heart defect 4(28.8%). Overall transmission rate was 21.4% [8% in the HE, 4.5% in HIP and 87.5% in NH groups] (p=0.001). The mean birth weights of uninfected babies were higher than their infected counterparts but was not significant (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The benefits of early HAART in reducing mother-to-child transmission must be weighed against the risks of lower birthweight and potential teratogenic effects of drug exposure on the foetus.

Published: October 2019

This study is carried out in the Baya watershed in the eastern region of Côte d'Ivoire to highlight access to drinking water issue in the fratured areas of Côte d'Ivoire. It aims at mapping the groundwater reservoirs to optimize the future installment of new boreholes for a satisfactory success rate. For the methodological approach we use Landsat 7 satellite images to map fracture networks with the use of the directional filtering technique. The induced permeabilities from these fractures were calculated using Fanciss’s method. The multicriteria analysis and Hydrogeological Information System with Spatial Reference were adopted to map groundwater reservoirs. Structural mapping by remote sensing permitted the development of detailed fractures maps with more than 6,998 listed fractures responsible for the formation of fracture aquifers in the Baya watershed. The size of these fractures is spread over two orders of magnitude. The main orientations are NE-SO (N70-80), corresponding to the Eburnean orientations, E-O (N90-100) and NO-SE (N100-120), associated with the Liberian orientation.
Induced permeabilities vary from 1.20.10-8 to 4.62.10-5 m/s with a regional average of about 5.32.10-6 m/s. The zones with strong induced permeabilities that coincide with those of high fracturing densities brought us to have five reservoirs in the basin, with two large reservoirs, two media and three small ones. This groundwater flows into the mainstream waters from two main directions.

Published: October 2019

AbstractEmerging classes of 2D noble‐transition‐metal dichalcogenides (NTMDs) stand out for their unique structure and novel physical properties in recent years. With the nearly full occupation of the d orbitals, 2D NTMDs are expected to be more attractive due to the unique interlayer vibrational behaviors and largely tunable electronic structures compared to most transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors. The novel properties of 2D NTMDs have stimulated various applications in electronics, optoelectronics, catalysis, and sensors. Here, the latest development of 2D NTMDs are reviewed from the perspective of structure characterization, preparation, and application. Based on the recent research, the conclusions and outlook for these rising 2D NTMDs are presented.
