Published: July 2024

Abstract

The influence of environmental geohazard events on the society are numerous and are seriously affected by the extent of flood which is exacerbated by climate change variables. This research is tailored towards investigating the dynamics of frequently occurring natural flood disaster. The recently launched Sentinel-1 SAR satellite constellation were adopted for temporal feature extraction and extent assessments over the study area. Methodology adopted involves Binarization (Thresholding) techniques, suitable pixel intensity through Band Maths to calculate and extract water accumulation with-in the Area of Interest (AOI). Result obtained shows that, number of scenes has no influenced on the expected outcome with a gradual increase in flood geohazard from September 2017 (10.49345%) to May 2018 (12.6057%) and a slight drop in May 2019 (11.47714%). Flood events persist a gradual progressive increase over time with that of October 2022 as high as (12.29319%). It was observed that May, -2018 have the highest percentage of water shade area (12.6057%) with the highest percentage of flood geo-hazard, then October, 2020 (12.29319%), then May, 2019 (11.47714%) and September, 2017 (10.49345%). Rate of water accumulation over the AOI was predicted with an extension to October, 2022. It was evident that flood event is a gradually accumulated and continuous geo-hazard event. Being a continuous phenomenon, over a period of time, it however consumes the solid part of the earth surface made for human activity such as farming and dwelling places. It could be seen that flood rate is not constant because other drivers could also contribute immensely towards increasing flood geohazard. The findings suggest a continuous monitoring so as to have a more reliable and current information on geo-hazard phenomenon.

Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background Cataract, opacity of crystalline lens is the leading causes of blindness world-wide and in Ethiopia. Despite the World Health Organization recommended primary eye care to be integrated to the primary health care targeting cataract as one concern, the case detection and referral practice at primary health care facilities towards cataract is low in Ethiopia and the level of referral practice and its associated factors towards cataract was not studied in Ethiopia. Thus, this study was aimed to assess the level of referral practice and associated factors towards cataract among primary health care workers in central Gondar zone, Ethiopia. Methods A cross sectional study was conducted on 284 primary health care workers selected with systematic random sampling, from June to august, 2023. The data were collected with a pre-tested self-administered questionnaire. The data were entered in to EPI info version 7 and exported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. Binary logistic regression model was fitted to figure out enabling factors for referral practice. The strength of association was expressed by odds ratio with 95% confidence interval and factors with a p- value less 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results Among 284 primary health care workers 96.1% (273) participated in the study with an average age of 30 years. Among 260 study participants 21.9% [95% CI: (17.4–27.2.0)] had good referral practice. It was significantly associated with eye care training [AOR = 3.13, 95%CI: (1.31–7.45)]. Conclusion The study found out that, few of the study participants had good referral practice and it was associated with training. It is better to increase efforts by the concerned body for provision of on service training for primary health care workers on cataract referral scheme.
Effect and Mechanism of 6-Gingerol against Precancerous Lesions of Gastric Cancer Based on Network Pharmacology and In Vitro Experiment
Authors: Xu Jingyu , Zhang Cian , Wang Ling , Wang Meiling , Liang JIayu , Yang Yanlong , Zhang Xuan 
Published: July 2024

Background:
Precancerous Lesions of Gastric Cancer (PLGC) are critical in the secondary
prevention of gastric cancer. Despite the notable effects of natural products on PLGC, the
specific mechanisms by which compounds, like 6-gingerol, influence these lesions are not fully
understood.

Aims:
This study aimed to confirm the effect and mechanism of 6-gingerol in the treatment of
precancerous lesions of gastric cancer (PLGC).

Objective:
The objective of this study was to elucidate the effects and mechanisms of 6-gingerol
against PLGC using network pharmacology and in vitro experiments.

Methods:
We employed network pharmacology to identify potential targets and pathways influenced
by 6-gingerol, followed by validation through in vitro experiments using a PLGC cell
model.

Results:
Network pharmacology analysis highlighted the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway as significantly
influenced by 6-gingerol. In vitro experiments confirmed that 6-gingerol effectively inhibited
proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of MC cells, promoted apoptosis, and induced cell
cycle arrest, primarily through modulation of the PI3K/Akt pathway. Statistical analysis revealed
significant inhibition (p < 0.05) across these cellular processes in a dose-dependent manner.

Conclusion:
This study demonstrated that 6-gingerol acts as an effective agent against PLGC,
with clear dose-dependent effects that pave the way for further experimental and clinical exploration.

A Study on the Role of miR-126 in the Repair Process after Spinal
Cord Injury
Authors: Suo Yaojun , Wang Chunfang 
Published: July 2024

Background:
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) results in motor, sensory, and autonomic dysfunctions
and causes social and economic problems. Surgery, medication, and stem cell transplantation
are therapeutic strategies for SCI. The use of endogenous neural stem cells seems preferable
due to their lower immune responses. miR-126 serves as a promising microRNA for reducing
inflammation after SCI. It can promote angiogenesis and proliferation of neural stem cells

Objectives:
This study aimed to observe changes in miR-126 expression after SCI in an animal
mice model.

Methods:
A total of 42 healthy adult FVB mice were divided equally into 7 groups (6 SCI model
versus 1 control). At different periods following SCI establishment in the model groups, Basso
Mouse Scale score (BMS), histopathological changes, and expression levels of miR-126 were
evaluated in the model groups compared to the control one.

Results::
The BMS score increased to a certain extent as the time after spinal cord injury progressed.
HE and Nissl staining showed that the acute period (1-7 days) after spinal cord injury
was characterized by neuronal loss, whereas the chronic phase (21st day) was characterized by
scar and cavity formation. Compared with the control group, the model group exhibited decreased
expression of miR-126 during the acute phase (days 1-7 post-SCI). However, its expression increased
by 21th day after SCI.

Conclusion:
Overexpressed miR-126 can contribute to reduced SCI-related damages, which may
result in the promotion of the growth and proliferation of neural stem cells as well as the repair of
motor function.

Authors: Grishina A. S. 
Published: July 2024

The relevance of the research topic is determined by the need to resist the increasing attempts to falsify the history of the Great Patriotic War. The liberation of Europe by the Red Army from fascism began in March 1944 in Romania. By mid-June, active hostilities gave way to positional defense, which continued at the beginning of the Iasi-Kishinev operation. This period is almost not covered in the research literature, meanwhile, it was at this time that Soviet troops, in the course of small and local, but frequent and successful clashes, exhausted the enemy and lowered their morale, which played a role in the future.The purpose of the study is to establish the content and determine the nature of the combat operations of the 7th Guards. armies of the 2nd Ukrainian Front in the period June 6 – August 19, 1944.Objectives: to identify the main parameters characterizing the defense of the enemy and the 7th Guards army, compare the progress and results of combat operations of Romanian and Soviet units.Methodology. The research was based on the principles of objectivity, historicism and consistency. The author used a complex of general scientific and special historical methods in his work: analytical, critical, problem-chronological, retrospective.Results. It was established that the enemy’s defense in the area west of the city of Tirgu-Frumos relied on a powerful fortified area. Romanian troops during this period behaved passively, their rare reconnaissance actions usually did not achieve success and were defeated. At the same time, troops of the 7th Guards. The armies not only actively strengthened their defenses, but also conducted effective reconnaissance, inflicting significant damage on the enemy.Conclusions. A study of documentary archival materials shows that the results of combat operations of units of the 7th Guards should not be underestimated. army during the period of positional defense from June to August 1944. Soviet troops exhausted the enemy, causing him significant material and moral damage, which reduced the combat effectiveness of the Romanian units in anticipation of the decisive offensive of the Red Army.
