Objectives: Recent publications on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) suggest that pulmonary embolism (PE) plays an important role in mortality and morbidity. In this context, it is natural that studies on COVID-19-associated PE are increasing rapidly. This study aimed to evaluate the studies on PE associated with COVID-19, see the overall picture in accordance with scientific literature and guide future research.
Materials and methods: In this scientometric study, the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) was searched for all documents regarding COVID-19-associated PE. An Excel spreadsheet was applied to analyze the data, and the VOSviewer was used for visualization.
Results: A total of 159 records were retrieved in WoSCC. 41.5% (66) of the publications on the subject were original research articles. There were 151 articles in English, five in Spanish, two in German and one in Norwegian. A total of 66 articles were extracted by filtering the results. The mean citation number of these 66 articles was 2.17. Most of the articles were published in the United States of America (USA) (36, 22.64%), Italy (26, 16.35%), and France (20, 12.58%). Although most of the publications were from the USA, it was determined that the majority of citations were to articles published in France and Italy. It was determined that publications made in the journals Radiology, Circulation and European Heart Journal received the most citations when considering the distribution of articles with 10 or more citations. Content analysis showed that the majority of the publications were about the clinical features of the disease (71.2%), while the publications on other issues were limited.
Conclusion: Publications from countries other than the USA on COVID-19-associated PE are needed, especially on subjects other than clinical features.

Published: February 2024

Objectives: In this study, it was aimed to obtain curcumin from the extracts of the turmeric plant by using a simple and fast magnetic separation method, unlike other standard methods.
Materials and methods: Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) were prepared by chemical co-precipitation of Fe3+ and Fe2+ ions. Magnetic nanoparticles were used to extract curcumin from turmeric. In addition, curcumin was characterized and compared with commercial curcumin. Curcumin was recovered by purifying it from extracts of the turmeric plant.
Results: Fe3O4 nanoparticles were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and Ultraviolet (UV)-visible spectra. Transmission electron microscopy analysis was used to describe the particle size and surface morphology of Fe3O4 nanoparticles, and the XRD device was used to explain X-ray diffraction. Curcumin was extracted from turmeric plant extracts purified with Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy was used to determine the functional groups in the structure of turmeric, Fe3O4 nanoparticles, Fe3O4 turmeric complex, commercial curcumin, and curcumin. The UV spectrum of commercial curcumin and curcumin was also examined using the Shimadzu UV-1700 Pharma spectrophotometer. It has been established that it is recovered with a purification yield of 1.5 percent following purification.
Conclusion: These results suggest that curcumin, which has research potential in the field of health, may also be beneficial in terms of creating different scientific and economic expansions and producing new studies.

Authors: Özlü Can , Ergene Ülkü 
Published: February 2024

Objectives: In this study we aimed to analyze cytomegalovirus (CMV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results in non-transplant patients.
Patients and methods: Although we do not currently perform bone marrow transplant (BMT), we conducted a retrospective analysis of CMV DNA PCR monitoring (twice-weekly) of 91 hospitalized patients (with 306 peripheral blood) (47 males, 44 females; mean age 62+2.3 year; range, 25 to 85 year). For this purpose, we reviewed CMV DNA PCR records of patients in our clinic.
Results: The results of CMV DNA PCR in 91 non-transplant patients are analyzed retrospectively in this study. CMV DNA PCR test results were positive in 10 patients (a total of 17 peripheral blood) while negative in 81 patients (a total of 289 peripheral blood). We did not begin antiviral therapy in patients with positive CMV DNA PCR results. Because it is incompatible with the patients’ clinical CMV DNA PCR positive CMV infection. None of the 91 patients enrolled in the study are transplant recipients, and they did not receive alemtuzumab treatment. Three of 10 CMV DNA PCR-positive patients had multiple myeloma (MM) with renal failure. One of the MM patients was diabetic. Three patients were diagnosed with acute myeloblastic leukemia and received chemotherapy; two patients were diagnosed with immune thrombocytopenic purpura; one patient was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and one patient received therapy for the diagnosis of aplastic anemia. They were given treatment protocols based on their diagnosis. None of our patients has specific clinical CMV infection clinical findings.
Conclusion: We conclude that close CMV DNA PCR monitoring in non-transplant hematology patients is not cost-effective. Even though it is not recommended for other hematology patients, close monitoring of CMV DNA PCR is still performed in many clinics in Turkey, and we suspect it is still performed in clinics abroad.

This type of writing is used to provide a clear picture of what is happening in the South China Sea that could affect international trade. While the data collection technique used was literature study, by searching for data relevant to the case study through national and international journals, statistical data, online news, and internet sources. The data obtained are primary data. Data analysis techniques used are qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques. The results of the study obtained by the authors, that is, there are two effects of the South China Sea conflict on trade relations between South Korea and China. First, trade instability in the South China Sea resulting in a decline in trade figures due to escalating conflict. Second, China's dominance in the South China Sea, which as a major player plays an important role, especially controlling the South China Sea and putting pressure on other countries. It often acts as a trigger for conflict even as China benefits from the South China Sea conflict. For South Korea-China trade relations that are more disadvantaged by South Korea, although an indirect influence, there are other dynamics that affect the relationship between the two such as THAAD

Authors: Lumalan Carnia , Wicaksono Arief 
Published: February 2024

Indonesia is a developing country that has the characteristics and potential of development resources that rely heavily on the agricultural sector. Indonesia is the third largest source of agricultural products for New Zealand. New Zealand invites North Toraja to cooperate in agriculture and plantations which is realized through the Sister City collaboration. The existence of sister city cooperation that is woven gives little space and hope for the people of North Toraja, especially in the realization of agricultural development goals in North Toraja. The research uses qualitative methods. Related to this research, the author uses primary data collection techniques, namely interviews and secondary data, namely literature, journals and related documents. The results showed that the sister city cooperation agreement did not run optimally, the contents of the agreement were not fully actualized and the stages were not complete. This was caused by factors, namely not being followed-up properly, the budget was limited, Human Resources were not/not ready and the parties who bridged the two partners did not carry out their duties properly.

A Grafting Procedure for Gossypium hirsutum Based on In Vitro Grown Seedlings
Authors: Pandeya Devendra , Campbell LeAnne , Rathore Keerti 
Published: February 2024

Intervarietal grafting, and in some cases interspecific grafting, practiced mainly in horticultural crops has many practical applications. Grafting can also be a useful tool to perform basic physiological, biochemical, and molecular studies to better understand communication between shoot and root in a row crop, such as cotton. We have established a grafting protocol for upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) genotypes. Although less efficient, it can be used to create grafts between upland and Pima (G. barbadense) or Old-world cottons (G. arboreum or G. herbaceum). The procedure used 8-day-old seedlings grown in culture under sterile conditions to obtain the scion and rootstock. The scion consisted of the shoot apical meristem with a few leaf primordia, epicotyl, and a small portion of the hypocotyl with the cotyledons removed. The rootstock retained 2 to 3 cm of basal hypocotyl portion with the roots trimmed. Cleft grafts were assembled under aseptic conditions followed by their culture in vitro. Once established, as indicated by the healthy growth of three to four true leaves and roots, the grafts were moved to soil in small pots. After hardening the grafts on a laboratory bench for few weeks, they were transferred to larger pots and grown to maturity in a greenhouse to obtain seeds. The success rate using our protocol ranged from 90 to 100% for Coker 312 genotype and its derivative transgenic and gene edited lines. The method was also applicable to generate intervarietal and interspecific graft unions among various types of cotton plants.
