Authors: Glushkov N. I. , Puzdriak P. D. , Zvyagintseva A. N. , Panasyuk E. I. , Ivanov M. A. 
Published: February 2024

Background. In some cases, a new coronavirus infection demonstrates non-standard clinical manifestations, an integral characteristic of which is a tendency to thrombotic and hemorrhagic complication.Objective. To study the predisposing factors for the development of thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications in patients with COVID-19.Design and methods. The work was based on observations of 403 patients who were hospitalized for pneumonia of viral etiology (COVID-19). The features of comorbid pathology, markers of inflammation and coagulation, characteristics of the identified complications in the main group (75 people who had thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications) were prospectively collected in comparison with the control (328 patients), where no such consequences were detected.Results. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of age and gender. In the main group, a large number of overweight patients were registered in comparison with the control. The levels of CRP, ferritin, and D-dimer in patients with complications significantly exceeded the reference values more often. Among the complications, spontaneous hematomas, gastrointestinal bleeding, acute cerebral circulatory disorders, acute myocardial infarction and venous thromboembolic complications were recorded.Conclusion. In patients with thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications of COVID-19, the level of markers of the inflammatory process (CRP, ferritin) increases. These negative consequences are most characteristic for patients with chronic kidney disease, severe hypertension, COPD and generalized atherosclerotic process (myocardial infarction, stroke).
The Conceptual Metaphor as an Ethical Kaleidoscope in Field Research
Authors: Flis Maria , Piotrowski Karol 
Published: February 2024

Attention to metaphor as a tool for cognition and action has already been called by the classic work by Georg Lakoff and Mark Johnson—Metaphors We Live By (1980). However, some four decades after this publication’s first edition, the role of metaphor as a useful instrument in empirical research seems to have been forgotten. Therefore, the first step taken in the text at hand is to highlight that codes of ethics neither resolve nor befit the dynamically shifting circumstances of research conducted in the field. Ethical codes are often insufficient. Hence, an objective here will be to critically assess the broad application of such codes in general. The second step will be to turn to metaphor as a tool in developing the sociological imagination as understood by C. Wright Mills. The metaphor can also assist in finding oneself when confronted with difficult, ambiguous circumstances that may arise during fieldwork. Metaphor as a tool, as an ethical kaleidoscope coherently links the field research experience precisely with the sociological imagination.

Authors: Orishev A. B. 
Published: February 2024

Importance.The topic of the Battle of Stalingrad is investigated, the relevance of which is beyond doubt, since any study in our country devoted to the Great Patriotic War was and remains important both for preserving historical memory and for educating the younger generation. The relevance of the study is enhanced by the fact that the stated scientific problem – the peculiarities of the tactics of the Soviet troops in the autumn-winter period of 1942 – is practically not disclosed in the scientific literature. The purpose of the study is to show how the Wehrmacht characterized the changes that occurred in the tactics of the Red Army during the Battle of Stalingrad.Materials and Methods.The research and its source base are captured documents from the funds of the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense (CAMO). Research methods: attribution of captured documents from the CAMO funds, comparison, content analysis, microhistoric analysis. The object of the study is the tactics of offensive and defensive battles of the Red Army in autumn– winter 1942.Results and Discussion.The specific author’s results of the study are that it shows how Stalin’s order No. 306 on improving offensive combat tactics and combat formations was characterized in the General Staff of German Ground Forces; data on the main changes in the tactics of defensive combat of Red Army are given; it shows what importance artillery was assigned in offensive and defensive battles, what changes occurred in the tank forces.Conclusion.The changes in the tactics of the offensive and defensive battles of Red Army during the Battle of Stalingrad were timely, it was constantly improved and adapted to specific combat conditions, which eventually ensured the final transition of the initiative to the Soviet troops at the front.
Mexico and Austria-Hungary: a difficult path to normalize relations
Authors: Mironov V. V. 
Published: February 2024

Importance. The reasons for the restoration of interstate contacts between Mexico and Austria- Hungary at the beginning of the 20th century are analyzed and their evolution during the “porphyriate”, the Mexican Revolution of 1910–1917 and the World War I is traced.Materials and Methods. Based on a critical analysis of domestic and foreign research literature using historical-genetic and historical-comparative methods, the course of resolving the longstanding interstate conflict and the evolution of military-political and trade relations between Mexico and Austria-Hungary in the last third of the 19th century – 1918 are traced.Results and Discussion. The development of military-political and economic contacts between Mexico City and Vienna, interrupted after the execution of Maximilian Habsburg in 1867, took place after their resumption in 1901, despite the initial dissatisfaction expressed by the Hungarian parliamentary opposition with the infringement of national economic interests on a mutually beneficial basis. The reasons for this were both the internal needs of Mexico, which was in dire need of human resources, and the desire of the business circles of Austria-Hungary to join the struggle for the application of capital and markets overseas.Conclusion. During the revolution of 1910–1917, special attention was paid to Austria-Hungary’s increasing arms exports to Mexico, in the context of which Vienna considered the possibility of recognizing a particular political regime. The leadership of the Habsburg Monarchy also showed interest in Mexico as a possible base for its navy overseas. Austria-Hungary’s diplomacy in Mexico City during the World War I acted in line with Germany’s efforts to involve Mexico in a military conflict with the United States in order to prevent them from joining the Entente.

Apatite (U-Th)/He Thermochronological Constraints on the Landscape Evolution Linked to the Normal Faulting in Taishan Mountain, Eastern China
Authors: Liu Fangbin , Yang Fan , Zheng Dewen , Ding Haiyang , Li Caopeng , Jepson Gilby 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Taishan Mountain in the eastern China is a normal-fault-controlled range that formed during the Meso-Cenozoic, in response to large-scale extension and lithospheric thinning of the North China Craton. However, constraints on the timing of the polyphase extensional events which formed the Taishan edifice remain poorly resolved, hindering a detailed understanding of the landscape evolution of this prominent mountain. Here, we conducted apatite (U-Th)/He dating on sixteen samples from three profiles perpendicular in the Taishan Mountain, with a major view to control structures in Taishan Mountain and to resolve the Meso-Cenozoic landscape evolution. The newly determined apatite (U-Th)/He ages show a wide variation range of ~113 to 30 Ma, indicating a slow and protracted cooling history. The inverse thermal history modeling results reveal two pulses of enhanced cooling at ~80 to 60 and 55 to 50 Ma, which we interpret as exhumation related to normal fault activity. Furthermore, one-dimensional modeling indicates that the magnitude of tectonic exhumation is constrained at ≥15 m/Myr across the Yunbuqiao, Zhongtianmen, and Taishan Piedmont faults. Integrating this study and published studies, we suggest that Taishan Mountain underwent four-stage evolution since 100 Ma: (1) the whole Taishan Mountain commenced a continuous and slow exhumation under a weaker tensional environment at ~100 to 80 Ma, (2) the joint growth and interactions within a normal fault system resulted in rapid uplift and promoted the formation of the Proto-Taishan Mountain at ~80 to 60 Ma, (3) the Taishan Mountain underwent exhumation at ~55 to 50 Ma, interpreted as a tectonic response to the Taishan Piedmont Fault, and (4) the last stage (~50 to 0 Ma), the Taishan Mountain experienced protracted exhumation related to normal faulting until now. We attribute the extensive normal faulting to the subduction and slab rollback of the Izanagi-Pacific Plates, which shaped the present-day geomorphology of Taishan Mountain.

Abstract
CO2 sequestration in deep saline aquifers is vital to reduce the global carbon footprint. However, this effort can be hampered due to salt precipitation during CO2 injection, which clogs flow pathways leading to a significant reduction in CO2 injectivity. While freshwater has traditionally been employed as the primary solution to dissolve the precipitated salt, the salt tends to re-precipitate upon CO2 reinjection post-treatment, exacerbating the injectivity damage. The project was divided into two stages: (1) simulating salt precipitation scenarios with varying brine salinities to mimic formation damage during CO2 injection in saline aquifers, and (2) critically assessing the impact and effectiveness of acetic acid as a mitigation fluid under different injection scenarios through core-flooding experiments. The results were compared with freshwater and low salinity water (LSW). Mineralogical and petrographical assessments were carried out on the core samples to characterize the Berea sandstone cores. The core flooding experiments were conducted at 60 °C and 1600 psi for CO2 injection, freshwater, LSW and acetic acid flooding. The experimental results revealed significant reductions in permeability (37% -75% impairment) and porosity (18% to 33%) due to salt precipitation. Among the treatments, LSW exhibited the lowest efficacy, followed by freshwater, possibly due to clay swelling, fines migration, and capillary trapping effects causing pore throat blockages. In contrast to freshwater and LSW, acetic acid treatment demonstrated improved injectivity, showing a high dissolution potential with up to a 137% increase compared to initial permeability. This study provides a preliminary assessment of the potential of acetic acid for CO2 injectivity enhancement and recommends further investigations on the effects of acetic acid and brine concentrations on the process.
Lethal and sublethal heat-exposure of bed bugs (Cimex lectularius L.) causes alarm pheromone emission and elicits a movement response in nearby recipients

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Many gregarious insect species use aggregation and alarm pheromones. The bed bug, Cimex lectularius L., emits an alarm pheromone (AP), a 70/30 blend of (E)-2-hexenal and (E)-2-octenal, when threatened. Bed bugs avoid temperatures above 43 °C, which are lethal to bugs and used commercially as spatial heat treatments to manage infestations. However, the interaction of bed bug AP in heat avoidance has not been investigated. The goal of this research was to: 1) determine if bed bugs emit AP as an alarm response to heat exposure, and 2) quantify the behavioral responses of conspecifics to AP emitted by heat-exposed bed bugs. Using a selected ion flow tube mass spectrometer, we found that bed bugs responded to lethal and sublethal heat exposure by emitting AP. The Harlan laboratory population emitted more pheromone than a laboratory adapted field population from Florida (McCall). Harlan females emitted the most AP, followed by Harlan males, McCall females and males. In separate behavioral experiments, we showed that conspecifics (i.e., recipients) reacted to AP released by heat exposed bed bugs (i.e., emitters) by frantically moving within 50 mm and 100 mm test arenas. The Harlan recipients reacted to AP in 100 mm areas, whereas the McCall strain did not, indicating a short area of effectiveness of the AP. Synthetic AP components tested in behavioral experiments caused identical effects as the natural AP blend released by heat-exposed bed bugs.
Mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of Gang Huo Qing wen granules in the treatment of influenza based on network pharmacology, molecular docking and molecular dynamics
Authors: Wu Wenyu , Jiao Xin , Lan Wanning , Wu Peng , Wang Kai , Zhan Shaofeng 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Background:Influenza (Flu) is a severe health, medical, and economic problem, but no medication that has excellent outcomes and lowers the occurrence of these problems is now available. GanghuoQingwenGranules(GHQWG) is a common Chinese herbal formula for the treatment of influenza (flu). However, its methods of action remain unknown. We used network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation techniques to investigate the pharmacological mechanism of GHQWGin flu.
Methods: TCMSP and various types of literature were used to obtain active molecules and targets of GHQWG. Flu-related targets were found in the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database, the DisFeNET database, the Therapeutic Target Database (TTD), and the DrugBank database. To screen the key targets, a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed. DAVID was used to analyze GO and KEGG pathway enrichment. Target tissue and organ distribution was assessed. Molecular docking was used to evaluate interactions between possible targets and active molecules. For the ideal core protein-compound complexes obtained using molecular docking, a molecular dynamics simulation was performed.
Results: In total, 90 active molecules and 312 GHQWG targets were discovered. The PPI network's topology highlighted six key targets. GHQWG's effects are mediated via genes involved in inflammation, apoptosis, and oxidative stress, as well as the TNF and IL-17 signaling pathways, according to GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated that the active compounds and tested targets had strong binding capabilities.
Conclusions: This analysis accurately predicts the effective components, possible targets, and pathways involved in GHQWG flu treatment. We proposed a novel study strategy for future studies on the molecular processes of GHQWGin flu treatment. Furthermore, the possible active components provide a dependable source for flu drug screening.

Published: February 2024

Abstract

This study aimed to identify potential anatomical variation triggers using magnetic resonance imaging for plan adaption of cervical cancer patients to ensure dose requirements were met over an external beam radiotherapy course. Magnetic resonance images (MRIs) acquired before and during treatment were rigidly registered to a pre-treatment computerised tomography (CT) image for 11 retrospective cervix cancer datasets. Target volumes (TVs) and organs at risk (OARs) were delineated on both MRIs and propagated onto the CT. Treatment plans were generated based on the pre-treatment contours and applied to the mid-treatment contours. Anatomical and dosimetric changes between each timepoint were assessed. The anatomical changes included the change in centroid position and volume size. Dosimetric changes included the V30Gy and V40Gy for the OARs, and V95%, V100%, D95% and D98% for the TVs. Correlation with dosimetric and anatomical changes were assessed to determine potential replan triggers. Changes in the bowel volume and position in the superior-inferior direction, and the high-risk CTV anterior posterior position were highly correlated with a change in dose to the bowel and target, respectively. Hence changes in bowel and high-risk CTV could be used as a potential replan triggers.

Abstract

The intensity of 5-ALA fluorescence used in glioma surgery varies within tumors, and among different patients, several molecular and external factors have been implicated; however, there is no clear evidence analysing the difference in fluorescence according to glioma molecular characteristics. This study aimed to compare the molecular factors of glioma samples with fluorescence intensity to identify potential cofounders and associations with clinically relevant tumor features. Tumor samples from high-grade glioma patients treated with 5-ALA for guided resection were included for comparative analysis of fluorescence intensity and molecular features. The mean fluorescence was compared for each molecular variation. p53, ATRX and Ki67 expression and IDH1 mutation status were assessed via immunohistochemistry. The patients were followed upfor progression-free survival and overall survival. We found that the fluorescence intensity for each specific tumor was independent of the methylation status of the MGMT promoter region, as assessed by pyrosequencing, and that there was no association between fluorescence and p53, ATRX, or IDH1 mutation, as assessed by immunochemistry. Additionally, fluorescence intensity was not related to the duration of tumor recurrence or overall survival. Weargue that many factors are involved in the difference in fluorescence intensity and may be related to the specific metabolic status of the glioma cells analysed, which is likely responsible for the variation in fluorescence.
