BackgroundProstate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality among men in the United States. We examined the role of neighborhood obesogenic attributes on prostate cancer risk and mortality in the Southern Community Cohort Study (SCCS).MethodsFrom the total of 34,166 SCCS male participants, 28,356 were included in the analysis. We assessed the relationship between neighborhood obesogenic factors [neighborhood socioeconomic status (nSES) and neighborhood obesogenic environment indices including the restaurant environment index, the retail food environment index, parks, recreational facilities, and businesses] and prostate cancer risk and mortality by controlling for individual-level factors using a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model. We further stratified prostate cancer risk analysis by race and body mass index (BMI).ResultsMedian follow-up time was 133 months [interquartile range (IQR): 103, 152], and the mean age was 51.62 (SD: ± 8.42) years. There were 1,524 (5.37%) prostate cancer diagnoses and 98 (6.43%) prostate cancer deaths during follow-up. Compared to participants residing in the wealthiest quintile, those residing in the poorest quintile had a higher risk of prostate cancer (aHR = 1.32, 95% CI 1.12–1.57, p = 0.001), particularly among non-obese men with a BMI &lt; 30 (aHR = 1.46, 95% CI 1.07–1.98, p = 0.016). The restaurant environment index was associated with a higher prostate cancer risk in overweight (BMI ≥ 25) White men (aHR = 3.37, 95% CI 1.04–10.94, p = 0.043, quintile 1 vs. None). Obese Black individuals without any neighborhood recreational facilities had a 42% higher risk (aHR = 1.42, 95% CI 1.04–1.94, p = 0.026) compared to those with any access. Compared to residents in the wealthiest quintile and most walkable area, those residing within the poorest quintile (aHR = 3.43, 95% CI 1.54–7.64, p = 0.003) or the least walkable area (aHR = 3.45, 95% CI 1.22–9.78, p = 0.020) had a higher risk of prostate cancer death.ConclusionLiving in a lower-nSES area was associated with a higher prostate cancer risk, particularly among Black men. Restaurant and retail food environment indices were also associated with a higher prostate cancer risk, with stronger associations within overweight White individuals. Finally, residing in a low-SES neighborhood or the least walkable areas were associated with a higher risk of prostate cancer mortality.
Gastroblastoma: a case report and literature review

Published: April 2024

ObjectiveGastroblastoma is an extremely rare gastric tumor. Its pathogenesis remains unclear and there is a lack of specific clinical symptoms. The aim of this paper is to report a case of gastroblastoma and provide references for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of this disease.MethodsThe diagnosis and treatment of a 51-year-old female patient with gastroblastoma were retrospectively reported. Analyzing this case by combining the clinical data such as imaging and pathological results of patients with the relevant literature.ResultsThe patient’s chief complaint was the presence of melena persisted for over two weeks. Abdominal contrast-enhanced CT showed gastric antral nodules, and micro-probe endoscopic ultrasonography was considered as “gastric antral protruding lesions”. The initial diagnosis of “gastric stromal tumor” was made after admission, and surgical treatment was performed on September 23, 2021. Postoperative pathology showed that gastric mixed epithelial and stromal tumor, combined with immunohistochemical staining, was suggestive of gastroblastoma. No signs of tumor recurrence or metastasis were observed during the 2-year follow-up.ConclusionCombined with the existing literature reports, the incidence of gastroblastoma is mainly higher in young men, and the predilection site is gastric antrum. The biological behavior of the tumor tends to be indolent, and the prognosis of most cases is favorable. However, due to the extremely small number of cases, this conclusion still needs a large number of cases and follow-up data to support. Postoperative pathological and immunohistochemical examination results are the only methods for definite diagnosis at present, and surgery is the first choice for treatment.

BackgroundPrevious studies showed that residents of higher elevations have lower glucose levels. Our objective in this study is to determine the basal and postprandial glucose levels in apparently healthy permanent residents of the miner population center of La Rinconada located 5100 meters (m) above sea level.MethodForty male permanent residents of the Rinconada miner population center were studied. The oral glucose tolerance test was used to evaluate basal and postprandial glycemia levels at 1, 2, and 3 h.ResultsThe individuals had a mean age of 43.95 ± 8.54 years. Basal glycemia in subjects without excessive erythrocytosis (EE) was 73.3 ± 7.9 mg/dL, while levels in patients with EE were 57.98 ± 7.38 mg/dL. In the postprandial period, at 1 h after oral glucose overload, a mean value of 76.35 ± 13.53 mg/dL was observed in subjects with EE compared to 94.68 ± 9.98 mg/dL in subjects without EE. After 2 h, subjects with EE had a glycemia level of 72.91 ± 9.17 mg/dL EE compared to 90.73 ± 13.86 mg/dL without EE. At 3 h, the average glycemia level in subjects with EE was 70.77 ± 8.73 mg/dL compared to 87.79 ± 14.16 mg/dL in those without EE.ConclusionThese findings suggest that under hypoxic conditions, glycemia levels are lower in both subjects with and without EE, having obtained lower levels in subjects with EE in relation to those with normal values of Hb and Hct. The results of this study indicate that in the conditions of severe hypoxia, blood glucose levels are below the values considered normal for sea level.
Elevated CO2 and ammonium nitrogen promoted the plasticity of two maple in great lakes region by adjusting photosynthetic adaptation
Authors: Wang Lei , Dang Qing-Lai 
Published: April 2024

IntroductionClimate change-related CO2 increases and different forms of nitrogen deposition are thought to affect the performance of plants, but their interactions have been poorly studied.MethodsThis study investigated the responses of photosynthesis and growth in two invasive maple species, amur maple (Acer ginnala Maxim.) and boxelder maple (Acer negundo L.), to elevated CO2 (400 µmol mol-1 (aCO2) vs. 800 µmol mol-1 (eCO2) and different forms of nitrogen fertilization (100% nitrate, 100% ammonium, and an equal mix of the two) with pot experiment under controlled conditions.Results and discussionThe results showed that eCO2 significantly promoted photosynthesis, biomass, and stomatal conductance in both species. The biochemical limitation of photosynthesis was switched to RuBP regeneration (related to Jmax) under eCO2 from the Rubisco carboxylation limitation (related to Vcmax) under aCO2. Both species maximized carbon gain by lower specific leaf area and higher N concentration than control treatment, indicating robust morphological plasticity. Ammonium was not conducive to growth under aCO2, but it significantly promoted biomass and photosynthesis under eCO2. When nitrate was the sole nitrogen source, eCO2 significantly reduced N assimilation and growth. The total leaf N per tree was significantly higher in boxelder maple than in amur maple, while the carbon and nitrogen ratio was significantly lower in boxelder maple than in amur maple, suggesting that boxelder maple leaf litter may be more favorable for faster nutrient cycling. The results suggest that increases in ammonium under future elevated CO2 will enhance the plasticity and adaptation of the two maple species.
The effectiveness of a brief video-based intervention in reducing gender bias in Korea

Published: April 2024

IntroductionGender bias deepens gender disparities by fueling gender conflicts. Thus, effective interventions for gender bias are necessary. Understanding gender discrimination experienced by another gender, both emotionally and logically, may contribute to reducing gender bias in Korean society. Hence, we conducted an online experiment using Video Interventions for Diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (VIDS) to examine the effectiveness of shortened VIDS intervention through perspective taking in reducing gender bias.MethodsA sample of Korean adults aged 19–39 (n = 160, 61.8% women, 38.2% men) were recruited. In the treatment group, male participants watched VIDS videos that portrayed a woman getting gender prejudiced and female participants watched VIDS videos showing a man receiving gender biased treatment in the society. The videos presented to treatment group consisted of one narrative and one expert video from VIDS, which stimulate emotional and logical understanding of the another gender, respectively. Participants in the control group watched a control video that was irrelevant to gender bias. All participants then answered gender bias questionnaire, as well as cultural orientation questionnaire.ResultsCultural orientation as a covariance, ANCOVA (Analysis of Covariance) revealed participants in the treatment group showed significantly lower gender bias than the control group. Within the treatment group, a moderation analysis showed that logical thinking moderated the relationship between emotional immersion and decreased gender bias, meaning stimulated logical thinking from watching the videos affected how engaging emotionally to the another gender’s situation lowers gender bias.DiscussionOur findings suggest that VIDS, a video-based gender bias intervention tool, can still be effective when edited briefly. Furthermore, one’s perspective-taking strategy can be considered when trying to decrease gender bias through videos that promote perspective-taking. The findings highlight the possibility of utilizing short video intervention that enhances perspective taking on decreasing gender bias.

This overview assessed the available body of published peer-reviewed systematic reviews and meta-analyses related to the effects of active exergames compared with active/passive control on physical performance outcomes in older people. The methodological quality and certainty of evidence were assessed using PRISMA, AMSTAR 2, and GRADE. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (code: CRD42023391694). The main outcomes indicate that 4,477 records, five systematic reviews, and 10 meta-analyses were included. The AMSTAR-2 reported six meta-analyses with high methodological quality, four moderate quality, two systematic reviews with low quality, and three very-low quality. Meta-analysis was performed on balance using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Timed Up-and-Go (TUG) tests, on cardiorespiratory fitness using the 6-min walk test, and on upper and lower limbs muscle strength using the handgrip strength, knee extension, and 30-s chair stand tests. Significant differences in favor of the active exergames groups concerning active/passive groups were reported in BBS (SMD = 0.85; 95% CI = 0.12–1.58; I2 = 96%; p = 0.02), TUG (SMD = 1.44; 95% CI = 0.71–2.16; I2 = 97%; p &lt; 0.0001), and 30-s chair stand test (SMD = 0.79; 95% CI = 0.33–1.25; I2 = 88%; p = 0.0008). However, no significant differences were reported in favor of the active exergames groups in 6-min walk (SMD = 0.93; 95% CI = −0.64 to 2.50; I2 = 95%; p = 0.24), handgrip strength (SMD = 0.67; 95% CI = −0.04 to 1.38; I2 = 84%; p = 0.06), and knee extension tests (SMD = 0.20; 95% CI = −0.05 to 0.44; I2 = 95%; p = 0.12) compared to active/passive control. However, it was impossible to perform a meta-analysis for the variables of walking speed as a fall risk due to the diversity of instruments and the small number of systematic reviews with meta-analysis. In conclusion, interventions utilizing active exergames have shown significant improvements in the static and dynamic balance and lower limb muscle strength of apparently healthy older people, compared to control groups of active/inactive participants, as measured by BBS, TUG, and 30-s chair stand tests. However, no significant differences were found in the 6-min walk, HGS, and knee extension tests.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO, CRD42023391694.

Authors: Назырова В.В. , Петин Д.И. 
Published: April 2024

Культурно-антропологические исследования в текущие годы стали одной из популярных тем исследований среди российских историков. Подобная формула осмысления прошлого актуальна, в том числе применительно к периоду Гражданской войны. Предлагаемый сюжет описывает практики государственной коммеморации в белой Сибири, соотнося их с образом чехословацких легионеров, активно формируемым на рубеже весны‒лета 1919 г. в официальной антибольшевистской периодике. Теоретической основой исследования стало сочетание историко-культурологического и антропологического подходов, историко-генетического, сравнительно-исторического и проблемного методов. Эта методологическая совокупность позволила интерпретировать источники, увязав их содержание с военно-политической обстановкой и конкретными персоналиями. Публикация может представлять интерес для широкого круга читателей – специалистов по исторической имагологии, культурной антропологии, истории Гражданской войны в России, политической и повседневной жизни антибольшевистской Сибири.
Cultural-anthropological research in recent years has become one of the most popular research topics among Russian historians. Such a formula for understanding the past is relevant, including in relation to the period of the Civil War. The proposed plot describes the practices of state commemoration in white Siberia, correlating them with the image of the Czechoslovak legionnaires, actively formed at the turn of the spring-summer of 1919 in the official anti-Bolshevik periodicals. The theoretical basis of the study is a combination of historical, culturological and anthropological approaches of historical-genetic, comparative-historical and problematic methods. This methodological set made it possible to interpret the sources by linking their content with the military-political situation and specific personalities. The publication may be of interest to a wide range of readers - specialists in historical imagology, cultural anthropology, the history of the Civil War in Russia, the political and everyday life of anti-Bolshevik Siberia.
Swearing falsely in making a covenant (Hos. 10:4). Congress of Peoples of Terek and Terek Cossacks
Authors: Пыльцын Ю.С. 
Published: April 2024

В статье рассматривается история Съездов народов Терека – высших органов власти в Терской области в 1918 г. – и роли казачества в этих съездах. Зародившись в начале 1918 г., по инициативе именно казаков, как попытка казачества силовым путём положить конец вражде с чеченцами и ингушами, съезды прошли долгий путь и закончили свою историю интеграцией Терской области в политическое и правовое поле CCСР. Каждый съезд собирался в новой политической обстановке, но решал одни и те же важные вопросы – о мире, о земле, о власти. На эти вопросы у разных народов, сословий и партий были разные ответы. В том числе и у терского казачества. В работе изложен ход заседаний съездов, вопросы, которые там поднимались и роль казачества – и как действующего лица съездов (особенности поведения казачьей делегации) и как объект воздействий казачьих съездов (какие решения, непосредственно затрагивавшие казачьи интересы, принимали съезды и к каким последствиям это приводило). Уделено внимание и тактики большевистской партии, которая смогла предложить политическую альтернативу казачьим предложениям и в конечной итоге сделала Съезды Народов Терека инструментом советизации области.
In this article the author describes the story of Congress of Peoples of Terek - the highest authority of Terek region in 1918, and the role of Cossacks in it. Congresses were initially adopted by Cossacks at the beginning of 1918, as a tool to forcefully stop the conflicts with Ingushs and Chechens. These congresses came a long way and finished with the integration of Terek Region into the juridical field of USSR. Each convention was held in a new political situation, but discussed same matters - peace, land, political power. All the participants - people, political parties and estates had different opinions on those matters, including Terek Cossacks. In this article author describes the script of those congresses, questions discussed and the role of Cossacks as proactive participants (including notes on the delegation's behaviour). The author shows what decisions concerning Cossack interests were discussed and approved with what consequences. Author also describes the tactics of Bolshevik party members who were able to produce political alternative to the Cossack ideas and eventually made Congress of Peoples of Terek into an instrument of improving Soviet power in the region.

Published: April 2024

Increasing the productivity of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) can be done by increasing biological production (biomass) and the ability to convert (partition) assimilate/photosynthate into economic results (tubers). The aim of this research is to find a better combination of paclobutrazol (PBZ) application and nitrogen (N) fertilization for tuber partition assimilate of potato. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The treatment was consists of nine combinations of PBZ treatments and N fertilization as follows: 1) 3 kg PBZ/ha + 200 kg N/ha, 2) 3 kg PBZ/ha + 250 kg N/ha, 3) 3 kg PBZ/ha + 300 kg N/ha, 4) 3,5 kg PBZ/ ha + 200 kg N/ha, 5) 3,5 kg PBZ/ha + 250 kg N/ha, 6) 3,5 kg PBZ/ha + 300 kg N/ha, 7) 4 kg PBZ/ha + 200 kg N/ha, 8) 4 kg PBZ/ha + 250 kg N/ha, 9) 4 kg PBZ/ha + 300 kg N/ha. The research results showed that at the beginning of growth up to 42 DAP (day after plan), the assimilate (dry material) was directed towards stem and leaf (shoot) growth. Next, at 56 DAP to 84 DAP the assimilate is allocated for tuber growth. The combination of 4 kg PBZ/ha + 200 kg N/ha produces the largest tuber weight

Authors: Ben Mbarek Marwa , Amamou Badii , Ben Haouala Amjed , Mhalla Ahmed , Gassab Leila , Zaafrane Ferid 
Published: April 2024

Background: During Ramadan, fasting is a duty for all healthy adult Muslims. During this month, there is a major and abrupt break in chrono-biological rhythms, sleep duration and timing, and the activity/rest cycle.
Aims: This study aims to explore the impact of the month of Ramadan, with its various biological, behavioral, and social repercussions, on mental health in Tunisian psychiatric patients who may or may not be fasting.
Objective: To determine the impact of the month of Ramadan on sleep and treatment compliance in psychiatric patients.
Methods: This was a survey study of all patients under follow-up at the Monastir psychiatric outpatient department for mental disorders, with two measurements during and after the month of Ramadan in 2019 (i.e., from May 05 to June 04, 2019, the number of hours of fasting in Tunisia was between 15h 43 min and 16 h 36 min). The data was analyzed in 2020.
Results: After studying 107 survey responses twice, during and after Ramadan, this study shows that sleep quality was significantly impaired during Ramadan for both fasters and non-fasters. There was also a significant difference between Ramadan and post-Ramadan in terms of treatment compliance; hence, adherence to treatment in the study population depended on the Ramadan effect and not the Fasting effect.
Conclusion: This study showed that sleep quality assessed by the ISI insomnia scale was significantly impaired during the month of Ramadan for both fasting and non-fasting subjects. Also, adherence to treatment in the study population depended on the Ramadan effect and not the fasting effect.
