Distribution of epiphytic algae on macrophytes of various ecological groups (the case study of water bodies in the Dnieper River basin)
Authors: Klochenko Peter , Shevchenko Tatyana 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
The generalization and analysis of original data have shown that the nature of epiphytic algae distribution on higher aquatic plants, representing different ecological groups, is very similar in various types of numerous water bodies in the Dnieper River basin. Their species richness and values of quantitative indices were mostly higher on submerged plants compared to plants of other ecological groups. The number of epiphytic algae species was 1.1-1.7 times higher on submerged plants compared to that on half-submerged plants and 1.6-3.1 times higher compared to plants with floating leaves. The taxonomic structure and species composition of epiphyton were very similar on half-submerged and submerged plants and moderately similar on plants with floating leaves compared to macrophytes of other ecological groups. It is emphasized that the specificity of epiphytic algae distribution on macrophytes of various ecological groups should be taken into account when performing monitoring and assessment of the ecological status of water bodies by the bioindication method.
Flexible Fourier form for volatility breaks
Authors: Li Jing , Enders Walte 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
This paper proposes a class of models: TRIARCH/TRIGARCH models that account for structural breaks in conditional variance using a variant of the flexible Fourier form. Based on the new model, three likelihood multiplier tests are proposed for the null hypotheses of (1) homoskedasticity in the presence of unknown structural breaks; (2) no structural changes in conditional variance; and (3) Integrated GARCH effect. The in-sample fit and out-of-sample forecasts of the TRIGARCH model and GARCH model are compared by simulations. We apply the new models to the SP500 returns. Our finding indicates level shifts in variance, and therefore, the almost integration indicated by the GARCH(1,1) model may be spurious.

Published: September 2017

Abstract
Polycrystalline RERh6Si4 (RE=La, Nd, Tb, Dy, Er, Yb) samples can be synthesized by arc-melting of the elements. Single crystals of LaRh6Si4, NdRh6Si4 and YbRh6Si4 were synthesized from the elements in bismuth fluxes (non-reactive flux medium). The structures were refined on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data: LiCo6P4 type, P6̅m2, a=700.56(3), c=380.55(1) pm, wR2=0.0257, 317 F
2 values, 19 variables for LaRh6Si4, a=698.4(5), c=377.7(2) pm, wR2=0.0578, 219 F
2 values, 19 variables for NdRh6Si4 and a=696.00(3), c=371.97(1) pm, wR2=0.0440, 309 F
2 values, 19 variables for YbRh6Si4. The rhodium and silicon atoms build up three-dimensional, covalently bonded [Rh6Si4]δ− polyanionic networks with Rh–Si distances ranging from 239 to 249 pm. The rare earth atoms fill larger cavities within channels of these networks and they are coordinated by six silicon and twelve rhodium atoms in the form of hexa-capped hexagonal prisms.

Published: September 2017

The onset of focal seizures in humans and in different animal models of focal epilepsy correlates with reduction of neuronal firing and enhanced interneuronal network activity. Whether this phenomenon contributes to seizure generation is still unclear. We used thein vitroentorhinal cortex slices bathed in 4-aminopirydine (4-AP) as an experimental paradigm model to evaluate the correlation between interneuronal GABAergic network activity and seizure-like events. Epileptiform discharges were recorded in layer V–VI pyramidal neurons and fast-spiking interneurons in slices from male and female mice and in the isolated female guinea pig brain preparation during perfusion with 4-AP. We observed that 90% of seizure-like events recorded in principal cells were preceded by outward currents coupled with extracellular potassium shifts, abolished by pharmacological blockade of GABAAreceptors. Potassium elevations associated to GABAAreceptor-mediated population events were confirmed in the entorhinal cortex of thein vitroisolated whole guinea pig brain. Fast-rising and sustained extracellular potassium increases associated to interneuronal network activity consistently preceded the initiation of seizure-like events. We conclude that in the 4-AP seizure model, interneuronal network activity occurs before 4-AP-induced seizures and therefore supports a role of interneuron activity in focal seizure generation.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe paper focuses on the mechanisms of ictogenesis, a topic that requires a step beyond the simplistic view that seizures, and epilepsy, are due to an increase of excitatory network activity. Focal temporal lobe seizures in humans and in several experimental epilepsies likely correlate with a prevalent activation of interneurons. The potassium channel blocker 4-aminopyridine reliably induces seizure-like events in temporal lobe structures. Herein, we show that a majority of seizures in the entorhinal cortex starts with interneuronal network activity accompanied by a fast and sustained increase in extracellular potassium. Our new findings reinforce and add a new piece of evidence to the proposal that limbic seizures can be supported by GABAergic hyperactivity.

Abstrak
Gizi lebih atau overweight pada saat sekarang merupakan masalah kesehatan di seluruh dunia, mempengaruhi tidak hanya negara maju tapi juga negara berkembang. Survei obesitas yang dilakukan akhir-akhir ini pada anak remaja siswa/siswi SLTP di Yogyakarta menunjukkan bahwa 7,8% remaja di perkotaan dan 2% remaja di daerah pedesaan mengalami obesitas. Pada tahun 2011 berdasarkan hasil penjaringan peserta didik TA 2011/2012 di Kota Semarang pada remaja usia 16 tahun dari 16.579 anak sebesar 3,71% berstatus gizi lebih. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui apakah ada hubungan antara serat dan fast food dengan gizi lebih. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kota Semarang pada remaja sejumlah 65 orang. Variabel bebas penelitian ini adalah pola konsumsi fast food dan serat, sedangkan variabel terikatnya adalah status gizi. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah chi square. Hasilnya, 58,5% responden mengalami malnutrisi yang terdiri dari underweight, overweight, obesitas I, dan obesitas II; sementara 41,5% responden berstatus gizi normal. Sehingga bisa dikatakan bahwa remaja bermasalah dengan status gizi. Konsumsi fast food (p=0,21) dan serat (p=0,43) tidak berhubungan dengan overweight. Sebagian besar responden sering mengkonsumsi fast food (95,4%) dan kurang mengkonsumsi serat (84,6%).

Abstract
Overweight is a health problem worldwide, affecting not only developed countries but also developing countries. A recent obesity survey in junior high school students in Yogyakarta showed that 7.8% of teenagers in urban areas and 2% of adolescents in rural areas were obese. In 2011, 3.71% from 16,579 adolescents aged 16 in Semarang were over nutrition. This study aimed to determine if fiber and fast food consumption were correlated with over nutrients. This research was conducted in Semarang with 65 adolescent students as respondents. The independent variables were the pattern of fast food and fiber consumption, while the dependent variable is nutritional status. The data were analyzed with chi square test. The result showed that 58.5% of respondents were malnourished, which consists of underweight, overweight, obese I and obese II; while 41.5% of them were normal in nutrition status. It could be said that the teenagers had a problem with nutritional status. Fast food consumption (p = 0.21) and fiber consumption (p = 0.43) were not significantly associated with overweight. Most respondents consume fast food frequently (95.4%) and consume fiber less (84.6%).

Authors: Remelia Melinda 
Published: September 2017

Background: One of the problems encountered in the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells therapy as a regenerative medicine is finding an effective and efficient method of adipose tissue processing. In this study, we try to improve the whole adipose processing method so it is not only generates high yield SVF, but also could saving cost and time. Methods: Each 30 ml of subcutaneous adipose from twelve patients is separated into three groups treatments as follows: Group A treated with trypsin-EDTA, Group B with recombinant enzyme, and Group C with a commercial kit. The number and viability of SVF cells in each methods is determined. The product of SVF is seeded in culture condition. The attached cells analysed with CFU–F testing, FACS assay, and differentiation capability assay are performed to confirm the stem cells properties. Results: The average of SVF cells number per 10 ml of adipose in Group A: 1.7 x 106 cells (96.58%), Group B: 5.1 x 107 cells (97.85%), and Group C: 1.9 x 107 cells (96.86%). The result of modified of method B produces up to 1.1 x 109 per 10 ml of adipose. Findings or Conclusion: We improved the whole adipose processing method from method previously described. We use non-animal derived recombinant enzyme, more cost and time saving proven compare to collagenase, with the higher yields than that obtained from collagenase, trypsin, or its both combination method.

OBJECTIVES:
To assess the effectiveness of a positive youth development (PYD)-based sports mentorship program on the physical and mental well-being of adolescents recruited in a community setting.

METHODS:
This is a randomized controlled trial in which we recruited students from 12 secondary schools in Hong Kong, China. Participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to an intervention or a control arm after stratification for school from October 2013 to June 2014. Participants were not blinded to allocation because of the nature of the intervention. Students in the intervention arm received an after-school, PYD-based sports mentorship for 18 weeks. Each weekly session lasted 90 minutes. Students in the control arm received exclusive access to a health education Web site.

RESULTS:
Six hundred and sixty-four students (mean age 12.3 years [SD 0.76]; 386 girls [58.1%]) completed baseline and postintervention assessments. The intervention improved students’ mental well-being (Cohen’s d, 0.25; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.10 to 0.40; P = .001), self-efficacy (Cohen’s d, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.07 to 0.37; P = .01), resilience (Cohen’s d, 0.19; 95% CI, 0.03 to 0.34; P = .02), physical fitness (flexibility [Cohen’s d, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.13 to 0.43; P = .02], lower limb muscle strength [Cohen’s d, 0.18; 95% CI, 0.03 to 0.33; P = .03], and dynamic balance [Cohen’s d, 0.21; 95% CI, 0.06 to 0.37; P = .01]), and physical activity levels (Cohen’s d, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.24 to 0.55; P &lt; .0001). The intervention did not significantly improve physical well-being (Cohen’s d, −0.01; 95% CI, −0.17 to 0.14; P = .86), BMI z scores (Cohen’s d, −0.03; 95% CI, −0.18 to 0.12; P = .69), body fat proportion (Cohen’s d, −0.15; 95% CI, −0.31 to 0.00; P = .051), and social connectedness (Cohen’s d, −0.03; 95% CI, −0.18 to 0.12; P = .72).

CONCLUSIONS:
A PYD-based sports mentorship intervention improved healthy adolescents’ mental well-being, psychological assets, physical fitness, and physical activity levels.

Published: September 2017

Introduction: Leprosy is a chronic granulomatous infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae with protean manifestations, particularly prone to affect skin and peripheral nerves. The natural course of the disease may be associated with the development of type 1 or type 2 immunologic reactions. These immunologic reactions are reported to be caused by increased activity of the immune system, particularly a cell-mediated immune response against live leprosy bacillus or remnants of dead bacilli. Leprosy is one of the oldest diseases of mankind. Its clinical diagnosis can be challenging due to the varied manifestations. The first description of bullous erythema nodosum was made 1898 and since then there are few recorded reports. Case Report: Here we present a case of bullous erythema nodosum as leprosy first manifestation. A 35 year-woman presented with 1-year history of disseminated blisters on trunk, forearms and thighs, and multiple painful ulcerated nodules on her face. She reported that the lesions in her face became eroded and ulcerated spontaneously. There were no thickened nerves. Blood and Histopathological investigations were made. The treatment instituted was prednisone 1mg/kg without thalidomide. After two weeks with excellent response, specific therapy for Mycobacterium leprae was initiated by the infectious diseases assistant physician with a satisfactory response.
Fine mapping of a cdt locus mutation that leads to increased cadmium tolerance
Authors: Kulaeva Olga A , Tsyganov Viktor E 
Published: September 2017

A pea mutant SGECdt (cdt), which has an increased cadmium tolerance and an increased cadmium accumulation, as compared to the initial line, was recently obtained. Earlier, a SSAP (sequence specific amplified polymorphism) analysis revealed localization of the cdt locus in VI linkage group. For fine mapping of the cdt locus a set of PCR based markers was developed. PCR markers were based on known sequences of pea genes, which were determined using analysis of genome microsynteny between pea and model legume Medicago truncatula. The close linkage of the cdt locus and markers based on the Pentatricopeptide repeat and Exosome complex exonuclease RRP 45 genes was revealed. Thus, prerequisites for cdt positional cloning were developed.

Published: September 2017

The analysis of birth defects (BD) rates in regions of nuclear power-plants locations in comparison with control regions have been performed using BD monitoring database for 2000–2007 years. It has been shown that the BD rates in these regions don’t differ from BD rates in control regions, Russia Federation on the whole and some other countries. Receiving results indicate that the working of nuclear power-plants doesn’t lead to increasing of BD frequencies in these regions.

The antigenotoxic effects of juices of three medicinal plants, Chelidonium majus L., Plantago major L. and Tussilago farfara L. has been studied in two bacterial tests — SOS chromotest and Rec assay. Antigenotoxic effect was determined against known genotoxic substances — nalidixic acid in SOS chromotest and furacilin in Rec assay. Preparations obtained from the leaves of Ch. majus L. exhibited significant antigenotoxic effect in both the SOS chromotest and the Rec assay. It was shown that dilution of the herb juice of T. farfara L resulted in high bioantimutagenic activity in SOS chromotest. P. major L. preparations did not display statistically significant antigenotoxic activity in the both tests used. Possible mechanisms of antigenotoxic effects of Ch. majus L. and T. farfara L. plants obtained are discussed.

The theoretical and experimental aspects concept of epigenes are considered. In epigenes part of the heritable information is preserved, coded and trasmitted in generations out of the primary structure of genomic DNA. The behaviour under crosses simples modelic epigenes is demonstrated. The variants of molecular-genetics mechanisms of epigenes and original results of experimental construction artificials epigenes by methods gene-engenering are presented. The ontogenetic and phylogenetic roles of epigene systems are discussed. It has been shown, that even simplest epigene systems can provide key events of ontogeny. The epigenes systems can provide non-Darwinian evolutionary strategy by means of “remember” relatively unsuccesful muves of evolution and preservation reserved variants of ontogeny.

Published: September 2017

<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-IN">The diaphragm is a muscle located in the base of the thorax, serving two main functions – inspiration and separating the abdominal and thoracic cavity. During some chest and abdomen surgeries the muscle can be accidentally damaged and cause pain and other severe symptoms. The treated patient is a 46 year old male with constant pain variable in intensity, difficulty in breathing and nausea for 14 years. The pain occurred after peptic ulcer surgery, located in the upper abdomen below the ribs in the epigastric region. The patient was given wrong diagnosis for chronic pancreatitis and was taking Tramadol, Ketonal and Zaracet for 14 years. The treatments started on 5<sup>th</sup> of May 2017 in our clinic for Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture. Treatments were done indoor, on a room temperature, with duration of 35-40 minutes. Treatments were done once weekly with normal (dry) acupuncture with fine sterile disposable needles. The patient immediately felt better after only one treatment. After three treatments the patient was totally pain-free and all the accompanying symptoms were gone. Acupuncture points that were used in the treatment are: Du8, Du6, Du7, Du20, Li6, Ki16, Rm4, Rm11, St36, Sp6 and Lv3.
