Butterflies are an important example of pollinating insects of the Order Lepidoptera. The presence of butterfly pollinating insects in nature is highly dependent or influenced by the availability of flowering plants visited in the ecosystem. The purpose of this study was to determine the diversity and abundance of butterfly pollinator in flowering plants. A direct survey method (visual) with a radius of ± 100-250 m² was done with scan sampling technique. Parameters measured were the abundance and the species richness of butterflies visited flowering plants as well as the species richness of flowering plants visited by butterflies pollinator. The data obtained were analyzed using the the Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H’). The results showed that at study sites in secondary forest habitats and yards, 25 species of butterfly pollinators were found consisting of 5 families with 308 individuals. Nine species of flowering plants visited by butterfly pollinators. The Jatropha integerrima was the most visited by butterfly pollinators with 11 species, followed by Hibiscus rosa-sinensis and Ixora coccinea (9 species), Clerodendron paniculatum (6 species), Mussaenda ralateensis (4 species), Bidens pilosa and Celosia argentea (3 species), Zinnia elegans visited by 2 species and Portulaca oleracea visited by 1 species of butterfly pollinators. Based on the calculation, the value of Shannon-Wiener index (H') is 2.946, which indicates that the level of diversity of butterfly pollinators in the medium category.

Mackerel (Rastrelliger sp.) is a type of marine fish widely consumed. Several factors influencing it include affordable prices, delicious taste, and the ability to be processed into various dishes. However, mackerel fish has a weakness: it quickly declines in quality if not managed properly. In the face of increasing demand, it is crucial to meet the need for fish with an optimal level of freshness. Methods have been used to maintain the freshness of fish, such as salting, freezing, and using plant ingredients. However, the use of natural ingredients from plants often has a low shelf life and can cause a decrease in fish quality. The method used in community service activities in Air Genting village is counselling. Counselling is carried out through the delivery of material, discussions (in the form of questions and answers), and explanations about tools capable of producing ozone. This activity aims to inform the public about technology with the ozone system. This technology can increase the shelf life of mackerel and keep the quality of the fish good and still suitable for consumption. Keywords: fish; curing; ozone

BackgroundAcute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains a risk factor for heart failure (HF). Therefore, we aimed to assess the cardioprotective role of sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors post-ACS in patients with acute HF (AHF) and diabetes.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective observational cohort study employing propensity score matching. This study involved patients with diabetes admitted with ACS complicated by AHF, defined as either new clinical HF requiring diuretics during the index admission or having an ejection fraction (EF) of &lt;40%. The study population was divided into two groups; (1) SGLT2 inhibitor users and (2) SGLT2 inhibitor non-users. The Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was used to evaluate the outcomes.ResultsA total of 465 patients (93% male; mean age, 55 ± 10 years) were included in this study. Using a 1 : 1 propensity score matching, 78 patients were included per arm with an absolute standardized difference of &lt;0.1 for all baseline characteristics. The use of SGLT2 inhibitors resulted in lower composite outcomes of ACS, HF hospitalization, and all-cause mortality at 1 month and 12 months [1 month: 2.6% vs. 11.5%, HR = 0.20 (0.04–0.94), p = 0.041; 12 months: 14.1% vs. 23.1%, HR = 0.46 (0.22–0.99), p = 0.046].ConclusionThe findings suggest that SGLT2 inhibitors may confer cardioprotective effects in ACS-induced AHF, thereby widening the spectrum for indications of SGLT2 inhibitors.

BackgroudAcute myocardial infarction (AMI) has a high morbidity rate, high mortality rate, high readmission rate, high health care costs, and a high symptomatic, psychological, and economic burden on patients. Patients with AMI usually present with multiple symptoms simultaneously, which are manifested as symptom clusters. Symptom clusters have a profound impact on the quality of survival and clinical outcomes of AMI patients.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to analyze unplanned hospital readmissions among cluster groups within a 1-year follow-up period, as well as to identify clusters of acute symptoms and the characteristics associated with them that appeared in patients with AMI.MethodsBetween October 2021 and October 2022, 261 AMI patients in China were individually questioned for symptoms using a structured questionnaire. Mplus 8.3 software was used to conduct latent class analysis in order to find symptom clusters. Univariate analysis is used to examine characteristics associated with each cluster, and multinomial logistic regression is used to analyze a cluster membership as an independent predictor of hospital readmission after 1-year.ResultsThree unique clusters were found among the 11 acute symptoms: the typical chest symptom cluster (64.4%), the multiple symptom cluster (29.5%), and the atypical symptom cluster (6.1%). The cluster of atypical symptoms was more likely to have anemia and the worse values of Killip class compared with other clusters. The results of multiple logistic regression indicated that, in comparison to the typical chest cluster, the atypical symptom cluster substantially predicted a greater probability of 1-year hospital readmission (odd ratio 8.303, 95% confidence interval 2.550–27.031, P &lt; 0.001).ConclusionOut of the 11 acute symptoms, we have found three clusters: the typical chest symptom, multiple symptom, and atypical symptom clusters. Compared to patients in the other two clusters, those in the atypical symptom cluster—which included anemia and a large percentage of Killip class patients—had worse clinical indicators at hospital readmission during the duration of the 1-year follow-up. Both anemia and high Killip classification suggest that the patient's clinical presentation is poor and therefore the prognosis is worse. Intensive treatment should be considered for anemia and high level of Killip class patients with atypical presentation. Clinicians should focus on patients with atypical symptom clusters, enhance early recognition of symptoms, and develop targeted symptom management strategies to alleviate their discomfort in order to improve symptomatic outcomes.

BackgroundThe use of honey as an eye treatment encounters challenges due to its high osmolarity, low pH, and difficulties in sterilization. This study addresses these issues by employing a low concentration of honey, focusing on both in-vitro experiments and clinical trials for treating dry eye disease in corneal cells.MethodsIn the in-vitro experiment, we investigated the impact of a 1% honey-supplemented medium (HSM) on limbal stem cells (LSCs) and keratocytes using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for BCL-2, BAX, and IL-1β gene expression. Simultaneously, in the clinical trial, 80 participants were divided into two groups, receiving either a 1% w/v honey ophthalmic formulation or a placebo for 3 months. Study outcomes included subjective improvement in dry eye symptoms, tear break-up time (TBUT), and Schirmer’s test results.ResultsMTT results indicated that 1% HSM did not compromise the survival of corneal cells and significantly reduced the expression of the IL-1β gene. Additionally, participants in the honey group demonstrated a higher rate of improvement in dry eye symptoms and a significant enhancement in TBUT values at the three-month follow-up. However, there was no significant difference between the study groups in terms of Schirmer’s test values. No adverse events were observed or reported.ConclusionIn conclusion, 1% honey exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-infective properties, proving effective in ameliorating dry eye symptoms and enhancing tear film stability in patients with dry eye disease.Clinical Trial Registration: https://irct.behdasht.gov.ir/trial/63800.

Published: May 2024

Background: Gastric cancer is a highly prevalent malignant neoplasm. Metabolic reprogramming is intricately linked to both tumorigenesis and cancer immune evasion. The advent of single-cell RNA sequencing technology provides a novel perspective for evaluating cellular metabolism. This study aims to comprehensively investigate the metabolic pathways of various cell types in tumor and normal samples at high resolution and delve into the intricate regulatory mechanisms governing the metabolic activity of malignant cells in gastric cancer.Methods: Utilizing single-cell RNA sequencing data from gastric cancer, we constructed metabolic landscape maps for different cell types in tumor and normal samples. Employing unsupervised clustering, we categorized malignant cells in tumor samples into high and low metabolic subclusters and further explored the characteristics of these subclusters.Results: Our research findings indicate that epithelial cells in tumor samples exhibit significantly higher activity in most KEGG metabolic pathways compared to other cell types. Unsupervised clustering, based on the scores of metabolic pathways, classified malignant cells into high and low metabolic subclusters. In the high metabolic subcluster, it demonstrated the potential to induce a stronger immune response, correlating with a relatively favorable prognosis. In the low metabolic subcluster, a subset of cells resembling cancer stem cells (CSCs) was identified, and its prognosis was less favorable. Furthermore, a set of risk genes associated with this subcluster was discovered.Conclusion: This study reveals the intricate regulatory mechanisms governing the metabolic activity of malignant cells in gastric cancer, offering new perspectives for improving prognosis and treatment strategies.
Immunomodulatory effects of laser-synthesized nanodiamonds on peripheral blood mononuclear cells: evaluation of unconjugated, PEGylated, and antibody-conjugated formulations
Authors: Alexander Elena , Leong Kam W. 
Published: May 2024

The application of laser-synthesized nanodiamonds (LNDs) is of great interest to biomedical researchers and drug developers because this emerging method of synthesis yields nanodiamonds of consistent size (&lt;5 nm diameter) and surface chemistry that can be functionalized to perform a staggering range of highly specialized tasks. The present study assessed the threshold at which LNDs in various conjugations and concentrations triggered immune responses and cytotoxicity in peripheral mononuclear blood cells from healthy donors, as assessed by changes in ATP concentrations and induced secretion of the cytokines IFN-γ, IL-6 and TNF-α. Conjugations assessed were raw (unconjugated) NDs, PEGylated (PEG5k-NDs), and antibody conjugated to goat anti-mouse antibodies (IgG-NDs). Concentrations of each conjugation were prepared and tested at 50.0, 10.0, 2.0, 0.4, and 0.08 μg/mL. Results showed that pegylated and raw NDs were well tolerated, with the indicators of inflammation or minimal cytotoxicity emerging only at the highest concentrations tested (50.0 μg/mL). IgG-NDs showed signs of inflammatory responses at the two highest concentrations tested (10.0 and 50.0 μg/mL). There was some evidence that the dilutant vehicle used for ND suspension may have contributed to the immune response. All three ND configurations increased ATP concentration in a dose-dependent manner, up to a concentration of 10.0 μg/mL. At the highest concentration (50.0 μg/mL), the ND solutions showed minimal signs of cytotoxicity. Conclusion from this testing suggest that LNDs are likely to offer substantial utility in biomedical applications because of their capacity to evade the immune response at concentrations at least as high as 2.0 μg/mL and potentially up to 50.0 μg/mL.
