Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and Helicobacter pylori infection: is there a relationship? Review
Authors: Fadieienko G. D. , Gridnyev O. Y. , Gridnieva S. V. 
Published: March 2024

The article outlines the relevance of finding a connection between non‑alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and Helicobacter pylori infection. The presented data of the majority of studies indicate the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection as a risk factor for the development of NAFLD. In addition, a number of researchers point to the possibility of the influence of Helicobacter pylori on important pathogenetic chains of NAFLD: insulin resistance, the state of the intestinal microbiota, the level of such hormones as ghrelin, leptin, adiponectin, and also that the effect of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) toxins can cause direct damage to the liver and that Helicobacter pylori invasion of the small intestine mucosa can increase the permeability of the latter, disrupting the functioning of the gut—liver axis. The article emphasizes the relationship between H. pylori infection and an unfavorable metabolic profile: dyslipidemia, body mass index, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and insulin resistance. In addition, research data on the novelty of higher levels of aspartate and alanine aminotransferase in Helicobacter‑positive patients compared to Helicobacter‑negative patients, in the absence of differences in liver fibrosis, are given. Separately, the research data are given, which indicate that the successful eradication of Helicobacter infection does not have a significant effect on liver steatosis, but probably reduces the severity of insulin resistance. Also, the authors draw attention to the fact that in a number of studies, the connection of H. pylori with NAFLD was not found, and no significant differences were found in the levels of high and low‑density lipoprotein cholesterol in people with Helicobacter infection compared to Helicobacter‑negative ones. The authors conclude that today there is no clear understanding of the role of Helicobacter pylori infection in the NAFLD pathogenesis, which requires further research because, after all, most researchers testify in favor of the fact that H. pylori infection can be one of the risk factors, contributing to the emergence and progression of NAFLD, and eradication of H. pylori may be important in the treatment of this disease.

UTILIZATION OF THOMAS MODEL TO PREDICT THEBREAKTHROUGH CURVES FOR ADSORPTION AND IONEXCHANGE
Authors: Mustafa Yasmen A. , Ebrahim Shahlaa E. 
Published: March 2024

Fixed bed sorption processes such as adsorption and ion exchange do not operate at

steady state. The design equations are differential that usually require numerical methods

to solve. Thomas gives a general analytical solution for these equations. It is based on

second-order reaction kinetics and the assumption of Langmuir isotherm. Computer

program for the solution of Thomas model was designed using MATLAB 7.0. Four sets

of experimental data are tested to show the capability of Thomas model to predict the

breakthrough curves for adsorption and ion exchange processes. These data represent the

sorption of o-cresol from water by activated carbon, acetic acid from air by activated

carbon, phenol from water by natural zeolite, and trichloroethylene from air by zeolite-

5A.The results show that there are a good agreement between the experimental data and

the model.

Ecological Devastation in Annie Proulx’s Barkskins: A Byproduct of Capitalism
Authors: Shrestha Ravi 
Published: March 2024

This research article deals with the ecological devastation of a part of North America or New France (today’s Canada) colonized by France in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The novel Barkskins on which the research is done is written by Annie Proulx, an American novelist. Firstly, the article reflects the portrayal of the environmental and ecological crisis of North America by European colonialists/capitalists. It shows Annie’s close observation of the chopping down of ancient American trees, the killing of wild animals, and the business of timber and fur by Europeans. Such commercial activities that reflect European capitalism cause the heavy loss of biodiversity. Their activities reflect their anthropocentric nature. Secondly, the article deals with how Native Americans encounter European capitalists. Even though they want to defend their true wilderness from the white Europeans, they prove to be weaker than the capitalists. However, their biocentric nature appears to be different from the anthropocentric nature of the European colonialists. So, one objective of the article is to discover how European capitalists/colonialists cause ecological devastation in North America. The second objective of the article is to examine why they demolish the true wilderness of North America and the third objective of the article is to scrutinize how the Native Americans react. Since the novel reflects the ecological crisis and the article deals with the impact of European capitalists/Colonists on ecology and the environment in North America, ecocriticism is a suitable theory to apply for textual analysis in the article. Hence, for a broad theoretical framework, Greg Garrard’s theory of Ecocriticism has been applied for textual analysis to explore how and why the biodiversity of North America has been affected since in Ecocriticism, Garrard’s definition of ecocriticism “Indeed, the widest definition of the subject of ecocriticism is the study of the relationship of the human and the non-human, throughout human cultural history and entailing critical analysis of the term ‘human’ itself” (5) becomes very contextual for textual analysis in the research.
Civic and Ethnic Nationalism in Nepal: Distinct Features or Intertwined Essentials?
Authors: Pandey Sushil Chandra 
Published: March 2024

This research paper attempts to explore the complex dynamics of civic and ethnic nationalism in Nepal, assessing whether these two aspects of nationalism contrast or intertwine against the backdrop of the country's diversity and plurality. This study provides a comprehensive critical appraisal of the literature regarding nationalism in Nepal, analyzing the dichotomy between civic nationalism and ethnic nationalism. It attempts to explore the historical, cultural, and political factors that contribute to molding the discourse of nationalism in Nepal, shedding light on the tensions and implications of these two contrasting forms of nationalism. This study examines how civic and ethnic nationalism has evolved, influenced, interacted, and contrasted with the diverse socio-political landscape of Nepal. The debate on the historical roots of civic and ethnic nationalism can be traced back to the "integration" campaign of King Prithvi Narayan Shah in the 18th century. On the one hand, Shah's campaign was interpreted as a great work of "national integration,” on the other hand, it was termed as an act of expansionism and internal colonialism. Against this backdrop, the discourse of Nepali nationalism has evolved so far. Moreover, the historical roots of ethnic nationalism in Nepal can be traced to the assertion of ethnic identities and demands for cultural recognition. This study, through a comprehensive analysis of historical, theoretical, and empirical contexts, with a qualitative approach, attempts to unveil the complex dynamics between two aspects of nationalism. On the one hand, civic nationalism claims to emphasize shared values and collective representation whereas ethnic nationalism focuses on distinct cultures and identities blaming each other for leading the country to secession or trying to continue the historical discrimination in the name of unity. Amidst this, this research illuminates the different trajectories of Nepali nationalism discourse for social cohesion, state-building, and unity in diversity.

Potassium fertilization of Megathyrsus maximus cultivars

ABSTRACT: Potassium is the second most absorbed macronutrient by plants, which may limit the response of forage production, especially those with higher nutritional requirements. The objective was to identify the adequate potassium dose for the development of Megathyrsus maximus cultivars (Zuri, Tamani, Massai, and Mombaça). The work was carried out at the Federal University of Norte do Tocantins, Campus de Araguaína, from October 2018 to June 2019. The experiment was carried out in a randomized block design in a 4x4 factorial scheme, with four replications. The first factor consisted of four Megathyrsus maximus cultivars (Mombaça, Tamani, Massai and Zuri) and the second factor four potassium doses (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg ha-1), totaling 64 experimental units. The following variables were evaluated: plant height, number of tillers, total dry mass, dry mass of leaves, dry mass of stems, dead material and leaf area index. Potassium influences the productivity of Megathyrsus maximus cultivars, and based on the results, the maximum recommended dose of K2O for Massai grass is 82 kg ha-1, 120 kg ha-1 for Mombaça grass, 72 kg ha-1 for the Zuri grass, and 81 kg ha-1 for the Tamani grass.

A vertebrobasilar junction aneurysm successfully treated with a combination of surgical clipping and flow diverter placement based on the results of computational fluid dynamics analysis: illustrative case
Authors: Mori Tatsuya , Kimura Hidehito , Fujita Atsushi , Hayashi Kosuke , Hori Tatsuo , Sugihara Masahiro , Ikeuchi Yusuke , Kohta Masaaki , Tomiyama Akio , Sasayama Takashi 
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND
The treatment of vertebrobasilar junction (VBJ) aneurysms is challenging. Although flow diverters (FDs) are a possible treatment option, geometrical conditions hinder intervention. VBJ aneurysms possess dual inflow vessels from the bilateral vertebral arteries (VAs), one of which is ideally occluded prior to FD treatment. However, it remains unclear which VA should be occluded.

OBSERVATIONS
A 75-year-old male with a growing VBJ complex aneurysm exhibiting invagination toward the brainstem and causing perifocal edema required intervention. Preoperative computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis demonstrated that left VA occlusion would result in more stagnant flow and less impingement of flow than right VA occlusion. According to the simulated strategy, surgical clipping of the left VA just proximal to the aneurysm was performed, followed by FD placement from the basilar artery trunk to the right VA. The patient demonstrated tolerance of the VA occlusion, and follow-up computed tomography angiography at 18 months after FD treatment confirmed the disappearance of the aneurysm.

LESSONS
Preoperative flow dynamics simulations using CFD analysis can reveal an optimal treatment strategy involving a hybrid surgery that combines FD placement and direct surgical occlusion for a VBJ complex aneurysm.
Intraspinal cervicothoracic junction chondrosarcoma: illustrative case
Authors: Carr Matthew T , Pain Margaret , Kay Kevin , Houten John K 
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND
Chondrosarcoma is an uncommon spinal tumor that can present as an extraskeletal mass. Rarely, these tumors present as dumbbell tumors through the neural foramina, mimicking schwannomas or neurofibromas.

OBSERVATIONS
A 46-year-old female presented with 2 years of worsening right-arm radiculopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging of the thoracic spine revealed a peripherally enhancing extramedullary mass through the right T1 foramen and compressing the spinal cord. Computed tomography showed the mass to be partially calcified. She underwent C7–T2 laminectomy and C6–T3 posterior instrumented fusion with gross-total resection of an extradural mass. Pathology revealed a grade I chondrosarcoma. Her symptoms improved postoperatively, with some residual right-arm radicular pain.

LESSONS
Intraspinal extradural dumbbell conventional chondrosarcoma is rare, with only 9 cases, including ours, reported. Patient ages range from 16 to 72 years old, and male sex is more common in these cases. The most common location is the thoracic spine, and our case is the only reported one in the cervicothoracic junction. These tumors often mimic schwannomas on imaging, but chondrosarcoma should remain in the differential diagnosis, because management of these tumors differs. Chondrosarcoma may benefit from more aggressive resection, including en bloc resection, and may require adjuvant radiotherapy.
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma arising in the pituitary gland: illustrative case
Authors: Zhou Hang , Zhang Xiaowei , Jia Xin , Jia Liang , Zhang Qingjiu 
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND
The authors describe a 60-year-old female who underwent a correlative examination for an accidental scalp injury, revealing a sellar mass, which was surgically excised and pathologically confirmed to be a non-Hodgkin’s small B-cell lymphoma. These findings in combination with the immunophenotype led to a final diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma. Previous studies have shown that hematological solid tumors occurring in the pituitary gland are extremely rare, and there are only approximately three other cases of living patients with similarities to this case, all of which had ambiguous expression of subsequent hematological treatment.

OBSERVATIONS
In this case, the authors used an endoscopic approach to completely excise the tumor. Follow-up of the patient was continued after surgery, and the patient is currently receiving standardized treatment with zanubrutinib.

LESSONS
This patient did not have any previous history of tumor, had a good postoperative recovery with a normal quality of life, and still receives hormone replacement and zanubrutinib on a standardized basis. This is a complete case that has not been previously reported and reveals the diagnostic and therapeutic process of rare diseases in the sellar area.
