Molecular and Host Lifestyle Factors Associated with Persistent Human Papillomavirus Infection and Progression into Cervical Cancer: A Literature Review
Authors: Yo Edward Christopher , Nuryanto Kartiwa Hadi 
Published: June 2024

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) worldwide, especially among low- and middle-income countries. The virus can establish persistent infection in the cervical epithelium, thereby increasing the risk of progression into cervical cancer. Since cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death among women worldwide, it is important to understand more about persistent HPV infection and potential therapeutic targets to suppress it. This study aims to summarize current insight into various molecular and host lifestyle factors that contribute to persistent HPV infection and ultimately cervical cancer. Methods: This study adopts a literature review design by conducting a journal search through Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. The keywords used included “human papillomavirus”, “persistent infection”, “cervical cancer”, “immune evasion”, and “lifestyle”. Results: Several diverse mechanisms are believed to facilitate persistent HPV infection, which can be classified under molecular and host lifestyle factors. Molecular factors include compartmentalization of HPV replication and gene expression as well as immune evasion, whereas host lifestyle factors include alcohol consumption, smoking, multiple sexual partners, STI coinfection, and certain contraceptive agents. Conclusion: Persistent HPV infection acts as the intermediate phenotype before developing into cervical cancer. Understanding the molecular factors as well as host lifestyle factors underlying it can lead to more specific therapeutic options as well as better prevention and education programs. Future research is needed to better clarify the exact mechanisms underlying persistent infection.

Published: June 2024

Abstract. This study aims to analyze and explain the influence of CR (Current Ratio), DAR (Debt to Asset Ratio), TATO ( Total Asset Turnover) and NPM (Net Profit Margin) ratios on the growth of Remaining Business Results (RBR) at the Mitra Sejahtera Blora Sayings and Loans Cooperative (SLC) in 2016-2022. This research aims to test the effect CR, DAR, NPM, and ne profit margins on RBR at the cooperative since 2016. The results show that the current ratio has a significant effect on the overall growth of the remaining business results at the cooperative. The DAR ratio has an important effect on the overall growth of RBR. The current ratio, net profit margin, and total assets turnover have an important influence on growth. The NPM ratio has no significant influence on the total assetss turnover. The net profit margin in significant effect is obcerved in the remaining operating results. This means that the number of liabilities under one year or equal to one year is compared to total current assets. Increasing the remaining business results of a cooperative is very dependent on the activities it carries out. In 2022 the current ratio at the Mitra Sejahtera Blora Savings and Loans Cooperative (KSP) will increase to 0.96%. In 2019 and 2020 the current ratio increased to 0.99%, and fell again in 2021 to 0.90%. The greater the remaining business results obtained indicate better financial performance, because the rate of return is greater. And in 2022 the dept to asset ratio at the Mitra Sejahtera Blora Savings and Loans Cooperative (SLC) will increase to 0.71%.

Published: June 2024

IntroductionPhosphorus (P) and potassium (K) deficiencies are increasingly being reported in Ghana’s interior savanna soils. Smallholder farmers consider soybeans as a “zero-input” crop resulting in low yields and profitability. Studies indicate a positive response to P application; however, knowledge of the synergistic effect of P and K in soybeans is limited. A six-site year experiment was conducted to evaluate the synergy of P and K for soybean yield, partial factor productivity (PFP), agronomic efficiency (AE), rain-use efficiency (RUE), and variable-cost ratio (VCR).Materials and methodsThe treatments were 4 × 4 factorial combinations of P at 0, 25, 50, and 100 P2O5 (kg ha−1) and K at 0, 25, 50, and 100 K2O (kg ha−1), and their combinations laid out in a randomized complete block design with four replications. The soybean cultivar “Favor” (TGx 1844–22E), released and registered by the Savanna Agricultural Research Institute (SARI), was used as the test crop.Results and discussionFlowering time was reduced at Nyankpala and Dokpong by 0.2 and 0.4 (days), while plant height was increased by 4%–18% over control. Yield and RUE increased as P and K rates increased, with the greatest yield from T15 (P100K50) in Manga (2.34 t ha−1) and Nyankpala (2.37 t ha−1), T16 (P100K100) at Dokpong (2.68 t ha−1), and RUE from T15 across locations. The PFP, AE, and VCR values decreased with increasing P and K rates, with the greatest PFP, AE, and VCR from T5 (P25K0) at Manga and Dokpong and T2 (P0K25) at Nyankpala. All treatments exceeded the VCR &gt; 2.0 threshold, except T12 (P50K100) across locations, and T16 at Manga and Nyankpala. The greatest economic returns are T5 at Manga and Dokpong and T2 at Nyankpala.ConclusionBy all indications, the study justified the use of nutrient input in soybeans of P and K to enhance grain yield and profitability. Avoiding broadcast applications and adopting precision placement using the 4R nutrient principles of right placement, right fertilizer source, right rate, and the right time is key. The study recommends further experiments on different combinations of P and K in a long-term residual study.
Association between frailty and gestational diabetes mellitus: a bidirectional and multivariable Mendelian randomization study
Authors: Li Xiao , Xiong Rui 
Published: June 2024

BackgroundThe causality between frailty and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has not yet been fully explored. A potential bidirectional causality was also needed to be confirmed.MethodsA bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) was conducted, with frailty-related data was collected from UK Biobank and TwinGen and GDM-related data was collected from the FinnGen consortium. We performed univariable and multivariable-adjusted MR with adjustments for body mass index (BMI). Several methodologies of MR were conducted to confirm the robustness of results.ResultsFrailty was significantly associated with elevated risks of GDM (OR, 3.563; 95% CI, 1.737 to 7.309; P&lt; 0.001) and GDM was also significantly associated with elevated risks of frailty (β, 0.087; 95% CI, 0.040 to 0.133; P&lt; 0.001). There is no evidence demonstrating the existence of horizontal pleiotropy and heterogeneity. This association was robust after adjustments for BMI. The sensitivity analyses with Weighted median, Maximum likelihood, Penalised weighted median, MR Egger and MR PRESSO methods indicated consistent results.ConclusionOur study provides evidence of the bidirectional causal association between frailty and GDM from genetic perspectives, signaling that the identification and assessment of frailty should become a standard strategy during the early stages and care of gestational diabetes.
