Published: September 2024

Aim. To study the long-term effect of complex therapy with enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) on clinical parameters and outcomes in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) complicated by heart failure (HF).Material and methods. The randomized trial EXCEL (Long-term Effects of enhanced eXternal CountErpuLsation; NCT05913778) included 118 patients with stable CAD complicated by New-York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-III HF, who were randomized into group 1 (n=59) receiving optimal therapy and EECP (35 hours, 2 courses/ year) or group 2 (n=59) receiving optimal therapy and EECP (35 hours, 1 course/year). The 6-minute walk test (6MWT), clinical status, quality of life (MLHFQ questionnaire), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level, left ventricular ejection fraction, and clinical outcomes were assessed annually.Results. In both groups, improvement of HF functional class, clinical status, exercise tolerance, NT-proBNP level, and quality of life were noted. Primary endpoint (increase in 6MWT distance >20%) in groups 1 and 2 was recorded in 100 and 79,7% of patients, respectively (p<0,001), while composite endpoint (myocardial infarction, revascularization, all-cause death, hospitalization for HF, new cases of atrial fibrillation, type 2 diabetes, stage 3-5 chronic kidney disease) in 18,6 and 52,5%, respectively. The odds ratio for primary and composite endpoint in group 1 was 0,207 (95% confidence interval: 0,090-0,475; p<0,001) and 0,032 (95% confidence interval 0,002-0,553; p=0,018).Conclusion. The EXCEL study demonstrated a stable favorable effect of EECP in patients with HF complicated by CAD on clinical indicators and outcomes, which were significantly more pronounced in the group with 2 courses of EECP (70 hours) per year compared to a single annual course.
China’s Green Finance: new in fiscal and legal regulation
Authors: Yalbulganov A. A. 
Published: September 2024

Having embarked on the formation of an “ecological civilization”, the People’s Republic of China pays special attention to environmental legislation, the creation of a modern system of “green” economy and “green” finance. The effectiveness of legal regulation of environmental relations largely depends on the availability of financial guarantees of relevant environmental standards. One of these guarantees is the environmental protection tax, recently introduced in the fiscal system of the People’s Republic of China.The article analyzes the main elements of this tax — taxpayers, the object of taxation, rates, the procedure for calculating and paying, system of tax benefits. Special attention is paid to the specifics of tax administration, the organization of cooperation between tax authorities and environmental protection authorities, the interaction of tax control and environmental monitoring.
Shallow Focal Depths of the 2022 Ms 6.8 Luding Earthquake and Its M ≥3 Aftershocks

Abstract
The accurate determination of earthquake focal depths is crucial, yet notably challenging. The 2022 Ms 6.8 Luding earthquake sequence is a typical example for which focal depths remain controversial. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive regional waveform analysis, including depth-phase waveform modeling and relative location methods, to determine the focal depths of the Ms 6.8 mainshock and its M ≥ 3 aftershocks. Specifically, we first inverted the focal mechanisms of these events using the generalized cut-and-paste method. We then determined their absolute focal depths using array-based stacking and Pn depth-phase modeling. For events without clear depth phases, we calculated their relative depths with respect to the known ones using differential travel times of Pg, Sg, and Pn phases. Our results indicate that the mainshock’s hypocenter lies at a depth of 11 km, whereas its centroid appears at a shallower depth of ∼6.5 km. All M ≥ 3 aftershocks are located within a narrow depth range of 3–7 km, in contrast to the deeper focal depths previously obtained using conventional travel-time-based location methods. This shallow seismogenic depth aligns well with the rheological behavior of the crust along the southern Xianshuihe fault, in which the brittle–ductile transition depth is estimated to be about 10km. Our results reveal that the mainshock nucleated at the base of the seismogenic zone and ruptured toward the shallower portion, consistent with the geodetically constrained mainshock slip distribution. Our study also emphasizes the necessity of caution when interpreting focal depths determined by routine travel-time-based methods, especially in regions with sparse seismic station coverage.
Tp-Te interval variation and its association with MACE as a metric of effective fibrinolysis in patients with STEMI from East India

Published: September 2024

Coronary artery disease (CAD) poses a significant health burden in India, and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is one of its most severe manifestations. The electrical activity is variable during STEMI, which produces dispersion and raises the T Peak-T End (Tp-Te) interval. STEMI is a medical emergency that requires prompt intervention to restore blood flow to the affected part of the heart muscle. Timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial in reducing morbidity and mortality associated with STEMI. Despite advancements in medical care, access to timely intervention and appropriate healthcare facilities remains a challenge in many parts of India, especially in rural areas. This single-center, prospective observational study included 150 STEMI patients. Clinical, demographic, and ECG data were recorded. The Tp-Te interval alterations and their relationship to major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in STEMI patients both during and after successful or unsuccessful fibrinolysis were examined. Patients without MACE had a significant mean decrease in the Tp-Te interval following successful fibrinolysis (i.e., 18.47 ± 5.66 ms vs. 10 ± 7.07 ms, p:0.039) compared to patients with MACE. It was found that after fibrinolysis, patients with a Tp-Te interval &#62; 100 ms experienced much higher rates of death (4% vs. 0%, p:0.0001), arrhythmias (7.3% vs. 0.7%, p:0.0001), and heart failure (16% vs. 1.3%, p:0.0001), both while they were in the hospital and within 30 days of the index event. Our data shows that a decrease in the Tp-Te interval following fibrinolysis lowers the risk of MACE both during hospital stay and within 30 days following the index incident.

Published: September 2024

Aim: Accumulating evidence highlights the crucial role of the “gut-brain axis” and emphasizes the potential of dietary interventions to improve brain health through this pathway. This study assesses the effects of the probiotic Pediococcus acidilactici CCFM6432 on mood, sleep, and gastrointestinal function in patients with depressive disorder.
Methods: This clinical trial is a randomized, placebo-controlled study (Registration: ChiCTR2300071025). It enrolled 39 adult patients diagnosed with depressive disorder, who were randomly assigned to either the placebo control group (n = 19) or the CCFM6432 intervention group (n = 20). The intervention period spanned four weeks. Assessments were conducted at both the beginning and end of the trial, including comprehensive questionnaire evaluations and the collection of serum and fecal samples.
Results: In comparison to the placebo, treatment with CCFM6432 significantly decreased depression and anxiety scores, as well as ameliorated gastrointestinal dysfunction and poor sleep quality commonly associated with mood disorders. Microbiota analysis revealed an increase in species richness without notable changes in overall diversity, yet Pediococcus species was found to be more abundant post-treatment. Functional analysis indicated reduced activity in the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, suggesting anti-inflammatory effects induced by the probiotic. Metabolomic profiling identified elevated levels of fecal lactic acid, which correlated with lower Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores, thereby linking probiotic metabolism to mood enhancement.
Conclusion: These findings imply that CCFM6432 may improve brain function by modulating gut microbiota and their mediated immune homeostasis, underscoring its potential as an adjunctive treatment for mental disorders.

现代汉语介词“给”与印尼语 “untuk、kepada、oleh” 的比较
Authors: Aretha Paula 
Published: September 2024

<p>The preposition word "给" is a hypothetical word widely used in modern Chinese. In Chinese grammar, the preposition word "给" has many meanings and the functions of using this word vary. Preposition words Indonesian, such as "for", "to", and "by" are similar to the preposition word "给" in modern Chinese. In this paper, we will analyze the Chinese preposition word "给" and the Indonesian preposition word "for", "to", and "by" to find out each of the functions of the word, so that we can also know the similarities and differences between them. And this can cause, Indonesian students who are learning Mandarin are confused and use it incorrectly. Indonesian students have been using their mother tongue since childhood before they learned Mandarin as their second language, so their mother tongue will definitely have an impact on learning Mandarin as the target language. For example, the order of words in sentences between the two is different, so Indonesian students in the process of learning the preposition word "给", they use it incorrectly. Therefore, for Chinese teachers, we should think about the following points in our teaching: First, as qualified Chinese teachers, we must first understand the difference between Chinese grammar system and Indonesian, so as to remind students to avoid bias at any time in teaching. Secondly, as a teacher, you must be clear about the difficulties and key points in teaching, and repeatedly explain these two points to strengthen students' impressions of these key points and the difficulties to avoid bias in the future. Of course, we must also choose comprehensive textbooks, and for the shortcomings in textbooks, teachers must try their best to make up for these shortcomings.</p>

Published: September 2024

Background:
The aim of this study was to describe long-term (10-year) patient survival after arthroplasty for hip fracture and to determine what patient factors are associated with that outcome.

Methods:
We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of patients ≥60 years old who underwent either hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty for femoral neck fracture between 2002 and 2009. We used routinely collected, validated health-care databases linked through ICES (formerly known as the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences). We estimated the association between baseline variables and survival 10 years post-fracture using Poisson regression. Restricted cubic spline functions modeled the probability of 10-year survival by age and tested whether there was an inflection point after which the probability of 10-year survival decreased more rapidly. We estimated 10-year survival probabilities for different patient groups.

Results:
There were 19,659 patients in the final cohort. Eighteen percent (3,564) of the patients were alive at 10 years postoperatively. Factors associated with a higher likelihood of 10-year survival included younger age, female sex (risk ratio [RR] = 1.56, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.46 to 1.68), lower American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class (ASA I or II versus IV or V: RR = 1.96, 95% CI = 1.76 to 2.19), independent living status (RR = 2.68, 95% CI = 2.23 to 3.22), and fewer specific comorbidities. A threshold age of 73 years was the inflection point after which the probability of 10-year survival decreased more rapidly in females. Estimated 10-year survival probabilities ranged from 79.0% (95% CI = 75.5% to 82.5%) to 0.8% (95% CI = 0.6% to 1.0%).

Conclusions:
Approximately 1 in 6 patients live at least 10 years following a hip fracture. This study identifies baseline characteristics that predict survival greater than 10 years, including an age of <75 years, an ASA class of I or II, and independent living status prior to the hip fracture. Results can inform discussions around treatment choices, anticipated outcomes, and the natural history of hip fractures.

Published: September 2024

Evaporative coolers may represent a promising alternative to conventional cooling technologies based on vapor compression systems. Indeed, they present lower production and operative costs, as well as lower environmental impact. The present study aims to develop a novel Dew Point Indirect Evaporative Cooler (DPIEC), by combining simplicity, hence low production costs, and higher cooling performance. The design proposed has mixed flow configuration and is made of polycarbonate plate covered with cotton cloth as wicking material. Two prototypes with different length are experimentally tested for two different water distributors. The performance of the novel DPIEC is evaluated and compared in terms of temperature drop, dew-point effectiveness, cooling capacity and compactness. The results show that the long prototype performs better in terms of temperature drop and dew point effectiveness, but yields lower cooling capacity and is less compact. In addition, it is observed that the distributor that supplies water over the system performs better, independently on the prototype. These results can serve as reference for future designs of mixed-flow DPIEC.
