Published: March 2019

Досліджено гістологічні зміни в кістковому мозку за експериментального ушкодження кісткової тканини. Аналіз гістологічних змін в кістковому мозку підтверджує закономірність і характер розвитку репаративного остеогенезу. Встановлено, що механічна травма кістки призводить до вираженої реакції в місці дефекту не тільки з боку кісткової тканини, а й з боку кісткового мозку. Також було встановлено, що з 14 доби починається інтенсивний остеогенез. Отримані дані можуть бути використані для розроблення методів стимуляції і засобів попередження ускладнень під час відновлення кісткової тканини після травми.

Published: March 2019

У статті досліджено вплив екологічно безпечних стимуляторів на динаміку морфометричних характеристик листка ехінацеї блідої в онтогенезі. Встановлено, що тривалість веґетації, рік та спосіб передпосівного обробітку насіння статистично вірогідно визначають розміри листя ехінацеї в онтогенезі за показниками ширини та довжини. Найбільший ефект встановлений для УВЧ-опромінення. Інші види обробітку за ефективністю мало відрізняються між собою, але статистично вірогідно відрізняються від контролю.Збільшення розмірів листків за показниками ширини та довжини описується логарифмічною залежністю. Найбільш інтенсивно ростові процеси у перші періоди онтогенезу відбувалися у 2012 р., а найменш інтенсивно – у 2015 р. Протягом веґетації найбільша швидкість приросту розмірів листків була характерна для 2015 р., а в 2012 р. цей показник був найменшим. Попередній обробіток насіння впливає на динаміку зміни розмірів листя. Позитивний стимулюючий ефект на швидкість росту на початку веґетації має «Наномікс», але найбільший ефект проявляє УВЧ-опромінення насіння. Між довжиною та шириною листків існує сильний позитивний статистично вірогідний кореляційний зв’язок (r = 0,83, р = 0,00). Кореляційний зв’язок між такими морфометричними характеристиками листка, як довжина та ширина, може варіювати по роках. Попередній обробіток насіння дослідженими способами не впливає на кореляційний зв’язок між довжиною та шириною листків.
The article investigated the influence on the environmentally safe stimulants dynamics morphometric characteristics of the Echinacea pallida leaf in ontogenesis. It was found that the length of the growing season, a year and a method for pre-treating the seeds was significantly determine the size of the leaves of Echinacea in ontogenesis in terms of width and length. The greatest effect is set to UHF radiation. Other types of treatment efficacy differ little from each other, but not statistically significantly different from control. Increased leaf size in terms of width and length is described by the logarithmic dependence. The most intensive growth processes in the early stages of ontogenesis were occurred in 2012, and the least intensive – in 2015. During the growing season the maximum rate of leaf size growth was characteristic of 2015 and in 2012 this figure was the lowest. Seed pre-treatment influences the dynamics of change in leaf size. A positive stimulatory effect on the growth rate at the beginning of the growing season has «Nanomix» but exhibits the greatest effect of UHF radiation seeds. Between the length and width of the leaf there is a strong positive correlation was statistically significant (r = 0.83, p = 0.00). The correlation between such morphometric characteristics of the leaf, the length and the width may vary over the years. Investigated seed pre-treatment methods does not affect the correlation between the length and width of the leaves.

Authors: Acharya Pujan , Kumar Manoj , Saimbi CS 
Published: March 2019

Background: Chronic periodontitis is the most prevalent form of periodontitis with a multifactorial etiology, dental plaque being the primary etiologic agent. The removal of such etiologic factor through scaling and root planing builds the foundation of treatment. In addition, the use of an antimicrobial adjunct augments elimination of microbes leading to subsequent control of the disease. Chlorhexidine and Metronidazole have been found to be active against several periodontopathogens. In this study, the use of these antimicrobial gels has been made. To evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of subgingival application of 1% Metronidazole, 1% Chlorhexidine and Combination gel when used as an adjunct to non-surgical therapy.
Methods: A total of 120 patients, age group 30-60 years with chronic generalized periodontitis were included in the randomized, controlled, double blinded study. The patients were randomly divided into four groups and treated with scaling and root planing along with antimicrobial adjunct. The antimicrobials used were Chlorhexidine, Metronidazole, Combination of Chlorhexidine and Metronidazole, and Placebo. Clinical parameters (plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level) were recorded at baseline, 1 month and 3 months.
Results: In all the groups, there was a statistically significant reduction in all the clinical parameters at different time intervals. Inter-group comparison with respect to clinical changes showed that Combination gel was the best.
Conclusions: Long term, controlled randomized trials with more samples are suggested to further validate the efficacy of these antimicrobial drugs.

Authors: Gautam Bikram , Rajbhanshi Anjita , Adhikari Rameshwar 
Published: March 2019

Background: Water sources such as lakes, ponds, river etc. have been continuously contaminated by the micro organisms and chemicals. The former can pose a significant threat to human health. This work aims at detecting the bacterial load before and after the sewage treatment and hence isolating pathogens from the sewage before primary treatment and secondary treated effluent.
Methods: Grab sampling (50mL sewage before primary treatment and secondary treated effluent) was performed for 20 days in the Guheswori sewage treatment plant. The reduction in microbial load was determined through heterotrophic plate count. Pathogens were screened from the effluent obtained from the secondary treatment plant.
Results: Bacterial load reduction was found to be about 48.02% on average. The observed bacterial load reduction might have been caused by bacteriophage flocculation and sedimentation. Pathogens isolated from the treated effluent were Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhi, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Coagulase negative Staphylococcus (CONS), Citrobacter fruendii, Enterobacter aerogenes, Proteus mirabilis, P. vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Conclusions: It has been found that the sewage treatment plant helps to reduce the bacterial load which is, however, not capable of effluent polishing where all pathogens are killed.

Authors: Tauheed Sanam , Shaikh Attiya , Fida Mubassar 
Published: March 2019

Background: The present study was conducted in order to determine cervical posture in different skeletal sagittal malocclusions as well as to assess whether a correlation existed between cervical posture and skeletal relationships. Methods: Cervical curvature and inclination of 63 subjects was assessed using their lateral cephalometric radiographs. Cervical inclination was assessed using the cervicohorizontal postural variables namely OPT/HOR and CVT/HOR whereas cervical curvature was determined by measuring the angle OPT/CVT. Sagittally, the subjects were also categorized into skeletal Class I, II and III based on the angle ANB. One way ANOVA was used for the comparison of cervical posture in different skeletal sagittal malocclusions. Pearson’s correlation was used to evaluate the correlation of cervical posture with different skeletal sagittal jaw relations. Statistical significance level was set at p≤0.05. Results: Statistically significant differences were found between the different skeletal malocclusions for the cervical curvature angle OPT/CVT (p=0.025). A weak correlation of cervical curvature angle OPT/CVT (r=0.305, p=0.016) with sagittal malocclusion was found. Conclusions: Skeletal sagittal malocclusions differ in their cervical postures, especially cervical curvature. Skeletal Class III subjects have significantly straighter cervical columns than skeletal Class I subjects. Cervical curvature is correlated with sagittal jaw relations.
Keywords: cervical curvature; cervical posture; skeletal sagittal malocclusions .

BACKGROUND: There is no information about the reliability of a comprehensive way to assess muscle tone that contains the different dimensions that define or could influence it in the ankle plantar flexors. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relative and absolute test-retest intra-day and inter-day reliability of a comprehensive protocol for the assessment of muscle tone responsiveness of the ankle plantar flexors. METHODS: Twenty healthy volunteers completed the study. It was performed a methodological study protocol (SPIRITT). Assessments included passive resistive torque-to-ankle dorsiflexion at slow (10[Formula: see text]/s) and fast (180[Formula: see text]/s) velocities, muscle extensibility measured as passive dorsiflexion range of motion, maximum isometric force and surface electromyography. Three measures were taken with a one-hour (intra-day reliability) and a one-week (inter-day reliability) rest interval between sessions. Inter-session reliability was examined through typical percentage error (CV[Formula: see text]), percentage of change in the mean and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). RESULTS: Passive resistive-torque using isokinetic showed better reliability (CV[Formula: see text] from 7.1% to 18.3% and ICC: 0.64 to 0.94) than variables obtained with electromyography (CV[Formula: see text]: 36.5% to 72.5%; ICC: 0.56 to 0.69) and intra-day reliability showed better results than inter-day reliability. Extensibility test and maximal isometric force showed a very good intra-day and inter-day reliability (ICC from 0.82 to 0.97). CONCLUSION: The comprehensive protocol of muscle tone assessment showed very good reliability. The protocol established provides a reliable tool to assess and characterise muscle status and the effect of therapeutic interventions.

Published: March 2019

Background: Neuropsychological tests are particularly important for the clinical evaluation and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) diagnosis. However, the tests currently employed for neuropsychological assessment have been developed several decades ago, and thus they do not fully exploit the potential provided by modern digital tools. One of the tests most commonly employed to assess attention and executive functions is the Trail Making Test (TMT). Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the TMT developed and used for the serious exergame X-Torp (TMTX- Torp) can be used to evaluate cognitive functions such as mental flexibility. Methods: Adjusted multivariate mixed model was used to compare performances in the TMTX- Torp to performances in the standard variant (TMTs) in three populations. 21 participants with AD (78.6y±8.5 y), 27 with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) (76.8y±8.5 y), and 27 healthy (HEC) (71.8y±7.4 y) were included. Results: A difference was observed for the TMT A between AD and HEC and for the TMT B between AD and MCI and between AD and HEC. Whatever the variant of the TMT, we found a positive linear correlation between the time to complete the TMTX- Torp and the TMTs for HEC (TMT A: r = 0.75, p < 0.001; TMT B: r = 0.52, p = 0.008) and MCI participants (TMT A: r = 0.53, p = 0.005; TMT B: r = 0.48, p = 0.025) but not for AD participants. Conclusion: Although these versions of the TMT were not identical, the results showed that both versions were able to discriminate between HEC, MCI, and AD populations.

Authors: Wijaya Handika Setya , Arifianto Andy Kristafi 
Published: March 2019

Indonesia memiliki lebih dari 80 ribu desa sebagai satuan administrasi terkecil dari NKRI. Setiap desa, setidaknya membutuhkan tiga hingga empat jembatan untuk menyeberangi sungai, dan untuk mengakses fasilitas lainnya. Kebutuhan jembatan yang banyak tersebut tidak dibarengi dengan anggaran negara yang dialokasikan terhadap pembangunan jembatan di desa-desa. Salah satu alternative konstruksi jembatan adalah dari material kayu juga merupakan material yang terbaharukan. Kendala dalam penggunaan kayu untuk konstruksi bangunan adalah kelangkaan kayu dengan dimensi besar. Untuk menanggulangi masalah tersebut, maka munculah kayu rekayasa (engeenered wood), salah satunya yaitu box beam. Box beam terbukti dapat meningkatkan inersia suatu bahan jika dibandingkan balok kayu konvensional dengan luas penampang sama. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari perbandingan kekakuan antara jembatan kayu konvensional dan jembatan kayu menggunakan elemen box beam dari Kayu Kamper. Unsur kekakuan bias dinilai dari besarnya lendutan yang terjadi. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dari perbandingan box beam dan balok kayu biasa ternyata box beam menghasilkan lendutan untuk B.58.58.8 lendutannya 0.852mm. Untuk balok B.50.50.10 lendutan yang terjadi 0.894 mm. Untuk balok B.45.45.12 lendutan yang terjadi 0.931 mm. Sedangkan untuk balok control B.40.40.20 lendutan yang terjadi 0.950 mm. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa box beam memiliki lendutan yang lebih kecil dari pada jembatan rangka dengan balok control (konvensional). Dan bisa menjadi rekomendasi pemilihan tipe struktur jembatan bentang pendek untuk Pedesaan karena lebih kaku.

Published: March 2019

The paper reports a research about the effect of authentic materials and the use of vocabulary profiler on some EFL learners’ master of vocabulary. An intact class of 21 students was taught Vocabulary lesson, which amounted to 100 minutes of class session every week. In addition to this regular intentional learning, they were instructed to read authentic materials and utilize a vocabulary profiler to obtain a vocabulary profile of the materials. They were taught how to interpret the result of the profiling. Next, they were asked to show their texts on a blog so as to allow their classmates to learn new words from the texts. Questionnaires were used to elicit their opinions on this teaching technique.
At the end of the semester a post-test was administered to determine the gains in their vocabulary mastery. While there was an apparent gain in their command of 5000-level English words, they did not make a similarly encouraging achievement in the new words from the texts. An explanation that accounts for the finding was offered. Meanwhile, the answers from the questionnaires seemed to reflect their positive attitude toward the use of authentic materials in this fashion.

ABSTRACT In diabetics there is usually an increase in free fatty acids in the blood and increases the concentration of cholecerols and triglycerides, this condition is called diabetes dyshidemia. This study aimed to find out at the effect of bran milk treatment on the changes of the concetration of cholesterol and triglycerides in diabetetic white wistar rats. Conducted on May 15 until 15 August 2018. Experimental research pre-post test with control design. Subjects of twenty wistar white rats were made diabetic by injecting alloxan 140mg / kg. After being declared diabetic, the rats were divided into four groups, namely group 1 (negative control), group 2 (positive control), group 3 (bran milk 0.54g / 200 gr) and group 4 (bran milk 1.08g / 200gr). The intervention was given for fourteen days. The data analysis used the paired T-test to test the subject before and afterthe treatment and the One-Way ANOVA test was used to test the difference between the groups. The research results indicated that the treatment with bran milk there were no significant differences in cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in the four groups. But when viewed from changes before and after the intervention showed that group 4 (bran milk 1.08g / 200gr) decreased cholesterol concentration and in group 3 (bran milk 0.54g / 200gr) a decrease in triglycerides was better than group 1 (control negative) and group 2 (positive control). It was concluded that the administration of bran milk can reduce the concentration of cholesterol and triglycerides in wistar diabetic white rats.Keywords : Bran milk, Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Rats, Diabetic
