Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND
Sarcopenia is a syndrome marked by a gradual and widespread reduction in skeletal muscle mass and strength, as well as a decline in functional ability, which is associated with malnutrition, hormonal changes, chronic inflammation, disturbance of intestinal flora, and exercise quality. Pancreatoduodenectomy is a commonly employed clinical intervention for conditions such as pancreatic head cancer, ampulla of Vater cancer, and cholangiocarcinoma, among others, with a notably high rate of postoperative complications. Sarcopenia is frequent in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy. However, data regarding the effects of sarcopenia in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) are both limited and inconsistent.
AIM
To assess the influence of sarcopenia on outcomes in patients undergoing PD.
METHODS
The PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase databases were screened for studies published from the time of database inception to June 2023 that described the effects of sarcopenia on the outcomes and complications of PD. Two researchers independently assessed the quality of the data extracted from the studies that met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis using RevMan 5.3.5 and Stata 14.0 software was conducted. Forest and funnel plots were used, respectively, to demonstrate the outcomes of the sarcopenia group vs the non-sarcopenia group after PD and to evaluate potential publication bias.
RESULTS
Sixteen studies encompassing 2381 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The patients in the sarcopenia group (n = 833) had higher overall postoperative complication rates [odds ratio (OR) = 3.42, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.95-5.99, P < 0.0001], higher Clavien-Dindo class ≥ III major complication rates (OR = 1.41, 95%CI: 1.04-1.90, P = 0.03), higher bacteremia rates (OR = 4.46, 95%CI: 1.42-13.98, P = 0.01), higher pneumonia rates (OR = 2.10, 95%CI: 1.34-3.27, P = 0.001), higher pancreatic fistula rates (OR = 1.42, 95%CI: 1.12-1.79, P = 0.003), longer hospital stays (OR = 2.86, 95%CI: 0.44-5.28, P = 0.02), higher mortality rates (OR = 3.17, 95%CI: 1.55-6.50, P = 0.002), and worse overall survival (hazard ratio = 2.81, 95%CI: 1.45-5.45, P = 0.002) than those in the non-sarcopenia group (n = 1548). However, no significant inter-group differences were observed regarding wound infections, urinary tract infections, biliary fistulas, or postoperative digestive bleeding.
CONCLUSION
Sarcopenia is a common comorbidity in patients undergoing PD. Patients with preoperative sarcopenia have increased rates of complications and mortality, in addition to a poorer overall survival rate and longer hospital stays after PD.

Authors: Olise Florence Nwanne , Anyaobi Grace , Idoko Florence Awele 
Published: June 2024

This study examines gender and family size effects on Nigerian library educators' research productivity levels. The cross-sectional study used questionnaires to obtain data from 168 library educators in Nigeria. Data was collected via snowball sampling technique. All data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study results showed that Nigerian library educators write journal papers and do research at high rates. However, male library educators published more and engaged in more research activities than female educators. Educators with more prominent families had better research production, suggesting time management support. These findings emphasized the need for gender equity and family-friendly policies in academic institutions to support research excellence and career progression for all educators. Thus, the study made workable recommendations and concluded that the link between family size and research output is complex.

The aim of this study is to establish the anti-diabetic potential of Blighia unijugata Baker, Anthocleista djalonensis, Senna sieberiana, Senna singueana and Ficus exasperate. Blighia unijugata Baker, Anthocleista djalonensis, Senna sieberiana, Senna singueana Delile and Ficus exasperate Vahl were extracted with methanol and fractionated using petroleum ether, chloroform and ethylacetate. The phytochemical analysis, cytotoxicity and antidiabetic properties of the fractions were investigated using standard methods. Phytochemical results of the plants fractions showed various amount of alkaloids ranging from 1.2 - 4.7%with moderate amount of flavonoids, steroids, saponins and trace amount of tannins. The results of cytotoxicity using Fundulopachas gadneri showed senna singueana Delile, ethylacetate fraction and Blighia unijugata Baker- pet ether fraction being the most active (LC50 5. 23). Antidiabetic results showed that most of the fractions are highly active reducing the sugar level of the induced albino rats to normal with Ficus exasperate Vahl, ethylacatate fraction and Blighia unijugata Baker-chloroform fraction showing higher activity against all the induced rats. Comparatively the two fractions showed higher activities than the standard drugs. The results of this research therefore showed Ficus exasperate Vahl, ethylacatate fraction and Blighia unijugata Baker-chloroform fraction possess great potentials as anti-diabetic agents with animals treated withBlighia unijugata Baker-chloroform fraction having better recovery because the experimental animals had steady weight gain and could therefore be a potential as anti-diabetic drugs.

Authors: Wang Jia , Kou Hong , Kong Ting , Lu Wei 
Published: June 2024

Purpose: To study the regulatory impact of mir-204 on the biological behavior of childhood leukemia cells and to elucidate its mechanism of action.
Methods: A total of 112 children with leukemia who were treated in Three Gorges University Yichang Central People's Hospital, Yichang, China from July 2018 to June 2020 were randomly divided into study and control groups (n = 56 each). The expression levels of mir-204 and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) were determined using real-time polymerase chain chain reaction (RT-PCR) while the cell proliferation potential was determined using the CCK-8 method. Apoptosis and cell cycle progression of each group were evaluated using flow cytometry while changes in cell invasion and migration were assessed by Transwell assay. Luciferase reporter assay was used to determine the binding of mir-204 and HGF to 3'UTR.
Results: The expression level of mir-204 in study group was significantly lower than that in control group, while expression level of HGF was significantly higher (p < 0.01) compared to control group. There was no significant change in cell proliferation capacity at 24 h. The expression level of mir-204 was significantly decreased, while the expression level of HGF was significantly increased (p < 0.05). Luciferase activity of wild-type HGF 3'UTR in mir-204 overexpression group was significantly decreased, relative to mir-204 negative control group (p < 0.01). There was no significant difference in luciferase activity in mutant HGF gene between the two groups (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: Mir-204 reduces HGF expression level via HGF 3'UTR end, thereby inhibiting cell proliferation, invasion and migration, while promoting apoptosis, blocking cell cycle and regulating biological behavior of childhood leukemia cells.

Published: June 2024

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of metronidazole in combination with Lactobacillus live capsules for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV).
Methods: A retrospective study of 100 BV patients was conducted between June 2020 and February 2022 at Affiliated Jinhua Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Jinhua, China. Patients were assigned to control (48 patients received metronidazole only) and study groups (52 patients received metronidazole and Lactobacillus live capsules). Short-term efficacy, changes in vaginal flora distribution, recurrence rates, and occurrence of adverse effects were investigated.
Results: The study group showed significantly higher overall efficacy compared to control group (p < 0.05). After treatment, vaginal flora analysis revealed a more balanced microbiota in the study group, indicating a positive effect of combined therapy. However, recurrence rates at one and three months after treatment did not significantly differ between the two groups (p > 0.05). Both treatment regimens were generally well-tolerated, with only a single report of mild adverse reactions in the study group.
Conclusions: The combined therapy of metronidazole and Lactobacillus live capsules enhances shortterm therapeutic effectiveness and promotes a healthier vaginal microbiota. Although, the combined therapy does not significantly impact recurrence rates, it demonstrates a favorable safety profile. The lack of attention to non-bacterial constituents of the vaginal flora and potential long-term adverse effects of Lactobacillus live capsules represent an area for future study.

The influence of rankings on business school students’ perception and satisfaction. An exploratory study
Authors: Tandilashvili Nino , Tabatadze Marina , Tandilashvili Anna 
Published: June 2024

Rankings of higher education institutions are used as important marketing tools. Given their competitive environment, business schools increasingly use their position in rankings to attract new students and staff and to communicate about their image and reputation. In parallel, literature has demonstrated the importance of student satisfaction in generating considerable financial and reputational benefits. With few empirical evidence analysing the relationship between the position in ranking and students’ experiences, the aim of this paper is to explore the influence of business schools’ rankings on students’ perception of quality and their satisfaction. The analyses of focus group discussions shows that even if generally students do not pay important attention to the rankings, certain (good) position boosts their expectations towards business schools’ product quality (education) and customer service (administration). As a result, they are more critical and less satisfied if they perceive a gap between the position in ranking and the quality of service received.

В работе проведена оценка ресурса горячего упрочнения штамповой стали с регулируемым аустенитным превращением при эксплуатации. Для этого осуществляли деформационно-термическую обработку образцов по схеме сжатия, включающую этап предварительного горячего упрочнения (в интервале 450–750 °С) и этап длительной (девять циклов с истинной деформацией около 0,02 за цикл) горячей деформации (при 750 °С). Установлено, что в процессе длительной горячей деформации относительная величина разупрочнения образца составляет всего около 8%. Полученные результаты позволяют прогнозировать стабильную работу штампового инструмента из стали с регулируемым аустенитным превращением при эксплуатации при температурах 450–750 °С.
In this paper, an evaluation of the resource of hot hardening of die steel with regulated austenitic transformation during exploitation (RATE) was carried out. For this purpose, the thermomechanical treatment of the samples was carried out according to the compression scheme, which consisted of the stage of preliminary hot hardening (in the range of 450–750 °C) and the stage of long-term (9 cycles with e ~0.02 per cycle) hot deformation (at 750 °C). It has been established that in the process of long-term hot deformation, the relative value of the softening of the sample is only about 8%. The results obtained make it possible to predict the stable operation of a stamping tool made of steel with regulated austenitic transformation during exploitation at temperatures of 450–750 °C.

На основе расчетных данных выбраны составы экспериментальных алюминиевых сплавов, которые отличаются наименьшей склонностью к горячеломкости при литье. Для экспериментальных сплавов методом горячей прокатки из слитков получены листы толщиной 2,5 мм. Проведена оценка склонности экспериментальных сплавов к трещинообразованию при сварке плавлением по пробам «рыбий скелет», крестовая проба, кольцевая проба и пробе МВТУ. Показано, что свариваемость сплава Al–1Ca–5,5Zn–1,5Mg–0,5Mn (сплав 1) находится на уровне свариваемости серийного сплава 1915. Анализ полученных данных показывает, что характеристики трещинообразования сплава Al–2Ca–2,5Mg–0,4Mn (сплав 2) (коэффициент трещинообразования и критическая скорость деформирования образца) находятся на уровне, соответствующем сплаву АМг3. Исследованные сплавы при соответствующей подготовке поверхности не склонны к порообразованию при сварке плавлением. Определены механические свойства соединений исследованных сплавов при аргонодуговой и плазменной сварке.
Based on the calculated data, the compositions of experimental aluminum alloys which are characterized by the lowest tendency to hot brittleness during casting have been selected. Sheets with a thickness of 2.5 mm were obtained from ingots for experimental alloys by hot rolling. It is shown that the weldability of the Al–1Ca–5.5Zn–1.5Mg–0.5Mn alloy is at the level of weldability of serial alloy 1915. Analysis of the obtained data shows that the cracking characteristics of the Al–2Ca–2.5Mg–0.4Mn alloy (alloy 2) (cracking coefficient and critical deformation rate of the sample) are at the level corresponding to the AMg3 alloy. The studied alloys with appropriate surface preparation are not prone to pore formation during fusion welding. The mechanical properties of the compounds of the studied alloys during argon-arc and plasma welding are determined.

Published: June 2024

The subject of the article is trends in Russian legal science.The aim of the article is to analyze and systematize the facts accumulating in legal sciences and science studies, which develop into trends that negatively affect the state of scientific jurisprudence, its categorical apparatus and practical significance, including for lawmaking and law enforcement.Methodology. The author uses historical, sociological, formal-legal, systemic and comparative methods.The main results. The following trends have been studied: substitution of the relevance and novelty of the topic with considerations of political conjuncture, scientific fashion and other pseudo-scientific considerations; Constitutional reforms as a new round of constitutionalization in the aspect of correlation between constitutionalization and interdisciplinarity of legal sciences; the danger of escalating the interdisciplinarity of legal research into the erosion of its subject; methodological eclecticism; weighting of scientific language, negligence and incorrect use of certain legal terms; misuse of foreign terminology; disunity of science and practice of law enforcement.Conclusions. Since the degree of practical implementation of scientific and legal research into legislative and law enforcement practice is too low, a more effective mechanism for analyzing and implementing specific proposals from legal scientists is needed.

Published: June 2024

The subject. The article analyzes the individual consciousness of a woman, which allows her to adapt to the surrounding social reality and to integrate into its structure.The purpose of the article is to confirm or disprove hypothesis that pathological features are not decisive in the criminal behavior of a sane woman, including those with mental abnormalities. They act in conjunction with the social content of her consciousness.The methods of the sciences of criminology, criminal law, penal enforcement law, sociology, psychiatry, legal psychology and jurisprudence were used.Main results. Her consciousness is not an externally introduced element of social nature, it is intrinsic to her as a way of her existence, it is the result of her own social existence. The level of consciousness of a woman is adequate to the richness of her social activity, thus, consciousness is, first of all, individual in nature. Whereas the individual consciousness of a woman is significantly influenced by the surrounding people, the experience of previous eras and generations.Conclusions. Consciously volitional potencies are given to a woman from birth. The study of mental processes of personality is necessary for law enforcement officials representatives of the judicial system to logically and correctly censor the testimony of a woman a criminal, because without knowledge of the general laws of the course of mental processes, it is impossible to assess the specificity of behavior, formed under certain external or internal influences. It is noted that their development depends on the woman herself, her interaction with the surrounding world, which confirms the special influence of social factors on the criminal behavior of women with mental anomalies.
