Hemorrhagic cystitis in gastric cancer after nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel: A case report
Authors: Zhang Xin-Jie , Lou Jian 
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND
The advanced first-line regimen for advanced gastric cancer is based on a combination of fluoropyrimidine and platinum and/or paclitaxel (PTX), forming a two- or three-drug regimen. Compared to conventional PTX, nanoparticle albumin-bound PTX (Nab-PTX) has better therapeutic effects and fewer adverse effects reported in studies. Nab-PTX is a great option for patients presenting with advanced gastric cancer. Herein, we highlight an adverse event (hemorrhagic cystitis) of Nab-PTX in advanced gastric cancer.
CASE SUMMARY
A 55-year-old male was diagnosed with lymph node metastasis after a laparoscopic-assisted radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer that was treated by Nab-PTX and S-1 (AS). On the 15th day after treatment with AS, he was diagnosed with hemorrhagic cystitis.
CONCLUSION
Physicians should be aware that hemorrhagic cystitis is a potential adverse event associated with Nab-PTX treatment.

Authors: Batool Rabab 
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine introduction is anticipated in many countries in the coming years. This Perspective addresses the opportunities and challenges of introducing HPV vaccination in Pakistan. A substantial portion of the population within the high-risk age group necessitates the implementation of a robust vaccination strategy. Advocacy, community mobilization, and stakeholder engagement are the key elements for the successful implementation of the vaccination program. However, for long-term control strategies, a multifaceted approach is recommended. This approach should involve integrating HPV vaccination into the national immunization program, improving access to screening methods, and establishing comprehensive and cost-effective programs for preventing cervical cancer.

Religion and equal treatment in the public sector – The judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the case OP v Commune d’Ans
In OP v Commune d’Ans (C-148/22), the Court of Justice of the European Union rightly granted the municipal authority a fairly broad margin for establishing policies with respect to prohibiting the showing of signs of inter alia religious faith in the municipal workplace. In doing so, the Court seems to grant the public sector a larger degree of liberty in this respect than it did in its judgments concerning the private sector in interpreting Directive 2000/78/EC – Establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation. Such discrepancy is questionable.

Healthy body is a guarantee of a healthy mind
Authors: Melkadze Kaltamze , Okreshidze Nino 
Published: March 2024

School, family, and social environment play equally important role in establishing healthy lifestyle among young children. All the important skills should be developed from an early age. In order to achieve the third goal of sustainability “providing healthy lifestyle and well-being”, it is essential to have encouragement from the government as well as from society; total continuity of education; integration of modern scientific achievements in order to develop ecologically stable social patterns; coordination of teaching and upbringing; positive relationships between teachers and pupils.
A healthy lifestyle is a guarantee of increasing life expectancy and avoiding various diseases. Physical activities make positive influence on receptor and intellectual processes. Those students who are involved in physical activities at school, are characterized by high level of physical development. Their central neurological system functions adequately. Their bodies have high abilities of adaptation. A diet should also be taken into consideration. It should include more vitamins and minerals and less fat and sugar. In most cases young people aren’t aware of the importance of a healthy lifestyle. A lot depends on school and family environment, parents and teachers. They should encourage young people to keep a daily routine, eat rationally, do sport relevant to their age to be healthy and capable of working.
Strengthening the EU’s defence cooperation

Published: March 2024

In an expeditiously changing world, security challenges have become more intricate, multifaceted and complex. The 21st century is an epoch of strategic competition and multisided relations. The influence and rate of occurrence of hybrid security threats are constantly rising and deepening. World is in era of transition, characterized by creating new dynamics by emerging players along with significant shift of geopolitical and economic power, and currently, global attention is drawn to the Russian aggression against Ukraine, which is the consequent catalyst for the EU states, obligating them to take more responsibility and improve security and defence. Russia does not use force only to dominate on Ukraine, but this war aims to reverse and strike down western dominance - it is a big threat-economically, militarily, and politically. In an international competition, other powers are challenging the European countries’ ability to protect their interests and values that was the motivation for the idea of collective security building called "strategic sovereignty". For this reason, both defence and security fields are essentially important for the European Union. The EU leaders have long been trying to improve common defence policy - the European Union External Action Service in 2011, and later in 2016, the EU Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker called for a common defence fund, a “European headquarters.“ In March 2022, the EU council approved the Strategic Compass. The Compass gives the European Union an ambitious plan of action for strengthening the EU's security and defence policy by 2030 (EU, 2022. French President Emmanuel Macron urged Europe to invest in its own collective security framework in the face of Russian military moves on the bloc’s doorstep - "Europe needs to finally build its own collective security framework on our continent." We argue about the prospects of collective security and the fact that it may now be time for the EU member States to take the necessary decisions.
Fabrication of Electrospinning‐Derived Carbon Nanofiber Webs for the Anode Material of Lithium‐Ion Secondary Batteries
Authors: Kim C. , Yang K. S. , Kojima M. , Yoshida K. , Kim Y. J. , Kim Y. A. , Endo M. 
Published: October 2006

AbstractA carbon nanofiber‐based electrode, exhibiting a large accessible surface area (derived from the nanometer‐sized fiber diameter), high carbon purity (without binder), relatively high electrical conductivity, structural integrity, thin web macromorphology, a large reversible capacity (ca. 450 mA h g–1), and a relatively linearly inclined voltage profile, is fabricated by nanofiber formation via electrospinning of a polymer solution and its subsequent thermal treatment. It is envisaged that these characteristics of this novel carbon material will make it an ideal candidate for the anode material of high‐power lithium‐ion batteries (where a high current is critically needed), owing to the highly reduced lithium‐ion diffusion path within the active material.
Micropatterning of polydiacetylene based on a photoinduced chromatic transition and mechanism study
Authors: Yuan Wenfang , Jiang Guiyuan , Song Yanlin , Jiang Lei 
Published: October 2006

AbstractA photoinduced chromatic transition from blue to red for the polydiacetylene 10,12‐pentacosadiynoic acid has been studied. This transition produces an obvious change in the ultraviolet–visible absorption and fluorescence emission spectra. A two‐dimensional micropattern has been realized on the basis of this change and imaged with a confocal fluorescence microscope. Detailed information on the mechanism of the chromatic transition has been obtained by the application of resonance Raman and Fourier transform infrared methods. The results indicate that the conformational change of alkyl side chains constricted by hydrogen‐bonded head groups imposes strain on the polymer backbone and finally leads to a drastic decrease in the π‐electron‐conjugation length. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and characterization of block copolymers based on natural rubber and polypropylene oxide
Authors: Nair R. Chandrasekharan , Gopakumar S. , Nair M. R. Gopinathan 
Published: October 2006

AbstractSegmented block copolymers from different grades of hydroxyl terminated liquid natural rubber (HTNR) (Mn 3000, 8800, 10,000, and 17,000) and polypropylene oxide (PPO) (Mn 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000) have been synthesized and characterized by spectral analysis, thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and mechanical testing. The glass transition temperature of NR block was found to be at about −64°C, which is independent of the PPO whose transition is around 15°C. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that the thermal degradation of the samples proceeded in two steps characteristic of the immiscible components. The inability of PPO segments to provide physical crosslinking and the subsequent formation of hard domains is reflected in the low tensile properties and tear properties. The amorphous nature of the PPO phase and its immiscibility with NR phase are evidenced by the SEM studies. The effect of molecular weight of PPO as well as HTNR on the properties of the block copolymers has also been discussed. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. JAppl Polym Sci 103: 909–916, 2007
Effects of impregnation with imersol‐AQUA on yellow color tone of some softwoods and varnishes

Published: October 2006

AbstractThis study has been performed for determining impacts of impregnation with Imersol‐AQUA (I‐AQUA) to yellow color tone of some softwoods and varnishes. For this purpose, samples of scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), oriental spruce (Picea orientalis L.), and Uludağ fir (Abies bornmülleriana L.) wood, prepared according to the ASTM D 358 standards, are impregnated with I‐AQUA by short‐term (S), medium‐term (M), and long‐term (L) immersion techniques in accordance with ASTM D 1413 and producer's definition. After impregnation, surfaces have been coated by synthetic (Sv), acrylic (Ac), water‐based varnishes (Wb) and polyurethane (Pu) varnishes in accordance with ASTM D 3023 standards. According to ASTM D 2244 standards, yellow color tone value of specimens after varnishing process was determined. As a result, based on the wood material, varnish type, and impregnation period, yellow color tone was the highest in pine, medium‐term dipping, and synthetic varnish and the lowest in fir, long‐term dipping, and water‐borne varnish. Considering the interaction of wood type, period of impregnation and type of varnish, yellow color tone was the highest in fir + medium‐term of dipping + synthetic varnish and the lowest in spruce + long‐term of dipping + water‐borne varnish. So, impregnation process, impregnation period, and varnishes applied during tests showed increasing impact for yellow color tone value of wood materials. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A proposed novel approach to the study of the dual‐mode mechanism of dyeing nylon with acid dyes
Authors: Iijima T. , Petropoulos J. H. 
Published: October 2006

AbstractStudy of the dual mode mechanism of dyeing nylon with acid dyes, consisting of Langmuir‐type sorption on charged terminal amino groups, accompanied by Nernst‐type uptake, known as “overdyeing,” is subject to complications primarily (but not exclusively) because of structural nonhomogeneity of the polymeric substrate. We present here a system that combines structural simplicity with ease of manipulation of amine content; wherein the nylon substrate is replaced by a liquid phase consisting of a specially selected amine dissolved in a suitable organic solvent. This system displays the characteristic features of the aforementioned dual mode dyeing mechanism, as shown by experimental data of the uptake of C.I. Orange 7 as a function of aqueous dye concentration and amine concentration in the organic phase. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 103: 1055–1057, 2007
Synthesis, characterization and electrorheological properties of poly(o‐toluidine)/Zn conducting composites
Authors: Yilmaz Hasim , Unal Halil Ibrahim , Sari Bekir 
Published: October 2006

AbstractIn this study, the synthesis, characterization, and electrorheological (ER) properties of poly(o‐toluidine)/Zn, (POT/Zn), composites were investigated. Syntheses of the composites were carried out by a chemical method using ammonium persulfate, (NH4)2S2O8, (APS), as a free radical initiator. The composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, electrical conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, particle size measurements, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A series of Zn‐containing composites were prepared (0.8–7.6% by mass), and their conductivities were measured to be within the range of 1.7 × 10−3–5.0 × 10−2 Scm−1. Magnetic properties of POT/Zn composites were analyzed by Gouy scale measurements; it was found that their conducting mechanisms are bipolaron. A series of particle size (13, 17, 18, 26, 83 μm) were prepared by ground milling the crude POT/Zn composites. Colloidal suspensions of POT/Zn composites were prepared in silicone oil (SO), at a series of concentrations (10–30%, m/m), and sedimentation stabilities were measured at 25°C. ER measurements showed that the POT/Zn/SO suspension system was ER active. Thus, the effects of solid particle concentration, shear rate, electric field strength, addition of polar promoters, and temperature (25–125°C) onto ER activities of suspensions were investigated. The ER activity of suspensions was increased with increasing particle concentration and electric field strength and decreasing shear rate and showing a non‐Newtonian flow behavior. τ = 1.1 kPa shear stress was reached for POT/Zn (4.1 wt %, Zn) composite under E = 2.0 kV, c = 15 (%, m/m),
$ \dot \gamma=1.0\ {\rm s}^{-1} $, and T = 25°C conditions. It was found that the ER activity was slightly decreased with increasing temperature. Further, the addition of polar promoters had no promoting effect on the ER activity of the suspensions and POT/Zn/SO system was classified as dry ER materials. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Eight case reports of learning recovery in children with pervasive developmental disorders after early intervention
Authors: Butter Eric M. , Mulick James A. , Metz Bernard 
Published: October 2006

AbstractEarly intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) is often recommended for children with Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD). It is an empirically supported treatment designed to address the core symptoms of autism including language delays, social and play skills, and restricted and repetitive behaviors as well as other related deficits in cognition and adaptive behavior. Though there are a growing number of research studies supporting EIBI, many questions remain about the nature and stability of best outcomes. The current study provides case descriptions of eight children previously diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder and mental retardation who, after EIBI treatment, no longer met behavioral criteria for mental retardation or a PDD. The average gain in IQ standard scores was 34.6 ( ± 13.2) points; and, the average gain in adaptive behavior standard scores was 43 ( ± 25.3) points. Nonverbal IQ standard scores (mean = 93 ± 12.6) and academic achievement standard scores (mean = 105.3 ± 18.7) ended within the average range. Language skills remained impaired for seven children. The cases support findings of other researchers that learning recovery in autism and PDD is possible and may be related to intensive behavioral treatment. Individual differences in response to EIBI treatment are discussed. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
The pillars of the scapula
Authors: Karelse Anne , Kegels Lore , De Wilde Lieven 
Published: October 2006

AbstractTotal shoulder replacement has been shown to provide predictable pain relief and functional improvement in patients with glenohumeral arthritis. Loosening of the glenoid component remains the most frequent indication for revision surgery at long‐term follow‐up. The component most widely used is an all‐polyethylene keeled or pegged design cemented to the glenoid cavity of the scapula. The glenoid is small and its cup‐shaped morphology allows only a restricted site for limited fixation devices. This is particularly so in revision surgery where there are often large bony defects of the glenoid. In an anatomical study, we investigated the scapula in order to identify substantial bony pillars for better component fixation. Forty cadaveric shoulders (mean age 86, range 67–101) were dissected, the glenoids were denuded from cartilage, and the subchondral and cancellous bone was removed. Two bony pillars approaching the glenoid were consistently identified in all scapulae investigated. These pillars were outlined by three cortices and orientated to the circle formed by the rim of the inferior quadrants of the glenoid. One pillar is directed inferiorly near the margo lateralis and the other pillar is directed superiorly into the spine of the scapula. We defined these pillars in length and direction, and three‐dimensionally located them in relation to the joint surface. This study demonstrated two bony pillars as important anatomical landmarks in the scapula. They were constant in presence, surgically accessible, and have not been described before. These results can be used as a guideline in the development of prosthetic designs to improve the fixation of glenoid components. Clin. Anat. 20:392–399, 2007. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
