CRIMINOLOGICAL FEATURES ORGANIZED COUNTERFEITING IN THE DIGITAL AGE
Authors: Umakhanov Jamaludin Kh. , Dieva Maya G. 
Published: December 2023

Relevance. In recent years, in the field of counterfeiting, organized groups have been using the possibilities of digital technologies, which contributes to changing the structure of crime in this category, associated with erasing the criminal relationship and personal interaction of accomplices.
In the digital age, as at any historical stage, legal means fulfill the most important task of social regulation – the protection of the monetary sphere from criminal encroachments. In the context of the development of new technologies, legal means are doubling their importance in the system of countering organized counterfeiting.
Purpose and methods. The purpose of the study is to analyze the legal foundations of state policy in the field of countering organized counterfeiting in the digital age. To achieve this goal, dialectical and historical methods, sociological methods, and the method of expert assessments were used in the framework of the study.
Conclusion. The study of organizational and criminological aspects of organized counterfeiting in the digital age has shown that a significant part of the acts of this category is committed in a virtual environment. Block-network transnational organized crime in the field of counterfeiting is spreading in the digital space.
Digital systems and computer programs have become a tool and a means of making counterfeit money and counterfeit securities. In the digital world, non-cash money has become the subject of organized counterfeiting. Significant changes in the structure of organized counterfeiting dictate certain requirements for its prevention system. The paper proposes some organizational and criminological measures to counter organized digital counterfeiting.

Authors: Smorkalova Tatyana L. , Tarasova Lyudmila V. , Solodukhina Olga S. 
Published: December 2023

Purpose. Currently, the scenario line of research in personality psychology seems to be particularly promising, since this line of research allows us to identify the specific features of the transformation of the conscious construction of human life paths under changing conditions of uncertainty. The aim of the study is to determine the gender specificity of life scenarios in individuals with different levels of tolerance to uncertainty.
Materials and Methods. The sampling consisted of 200 people with different levels of tolerance towards uncertainty. The methods of the study included the semantic differential Lifestyle by V.P. Serkin and the New Questionnaire of Tolerance Towards Uncertainty by T.V. Kornilova. The data obtained were processed by means of factor analysis with the help of the program IBM SPSS Statistics 23.
Results. The results showed that the life scenarios of people with different levels of tolerance to uncertainty are gender-specific: men with a high tolerance to uncertainty show predominant characteristics of the scenario associated with an active life position and the search for novelty, whereas women show a scenario aimed at activity in the social sphere (the desire to actively participate in the fate of others, to help and support). Men with a low tolerance towards uncertainty show such scenario patterns as striving for security, stability and predictability of events, while women – in addition to striving for a convenient, comfortable life – show tactical patterns: emotional restraint and calculation.
Field of results application. The results of the study can be used in socio-psychological training and counselling to identify and correct an individual’s life scenario.

Authors: Huang Shaoming , Guo Chuan , Tai Shengcheng , Ding Hongxiang , Mao Dikai , Huang Jiaguo , Qian Biao 
Published: December 2023

Background
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a significant public health issue that adversely affects the quality of life of patients and imposes a significant socioeconomic burden, with varying prevalence rates across study populations in Chinese women. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to estimate the prevalence of OAB in Chinese women.

Methods
Relevant published articles on the prevalence of OAB in Chinese women were searched through July 21, 2022, using PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, China Biology Medicine (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang Data, and VIP databases. After the independent screening of articles, data extraction, and quality assessment of included studies by two investigators, a meta-analysis was performed using Stata 16.0 software, and the prevalence was determined using a random-effects model. To identify potential sources of heterogeneity, subgroup analyses were conducted with subgroup categories including age, Body Mass Index (BMI), region, and survey year. Publication bias was assessed by visually examining the funnel plot and Egger’s test.

Results
Twenty studies were included in this meta-analysis. The results of the random-effects model indicated that the prevalence of OAB in Chinese women was 14% (95% Confidence Interval: 9%–18%). The prevalence increased significantly in the past decade (from 8% in pre-2006 to 18% in 2016–2021). A prevalence (18%) was observed among women aged 31–40 compared with other age groups. The BMI range of 24–27.9 (18%) was higher than the other groups. Additionally, the prevalence of this BMI range was comparatively higher in North China and Southwest China (21%) than in Central China and East China. In addition, publication bias was observed.

Conclusions
OAB incidence has increased in Chinese women over the last two decades, affecting more than 20% of women aged 31–40 years and above. With the increasing prevalence of OAB, greater emphasis has been placed on implementing preventative and control measures.

Published: December 2023

Background
Early childhood enteric infection with Shigella/EIEC, enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), Campylobacter, and Giardia has been associated with reduced child growth, yet a recent randomized trial of antimicrobial therapy to reduce these infections did not improve growth outcomes. To interrogate this discrepancy, we measured the enteric infections from this study.

Methods
We leveraged the Early Life Interventions for Childhood Growth and Development in Tanzania (ELICIT) trial, a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial of antimicrobial therapy with azithromycin and nitazoxanide provided quarterly to infants from 6 to 15 months of age. We tested 5,479 stool samples at time points across the study for 34 enteropathogens using quantitative PCR.

Results
There was substantial carriage of enteropathogens in stool. Azithromycin administration led to reductions in Campylobacter jejuni/coli, enteroaggregative E. coli, and Shigella/EIEC (absolute risk difference ranged from -0.06 to 0.24) 2 weeks after treatment however there was no effect after 3 months. There was no difference in Giardia after nitazoxanide administration (ARR 0.03 at the 12 month administration). When examining the effect of azithromycin versus placebo on the subset of children infected with specific pathogens at the time of treatment, a small increase in weight-for-age Z score was seen only in those infected with Campylobacter jejuni/coli (0.10 Z score, 95% CI -0.01–0.20; length-for-age Z score 0.07, 95% CI -0.06–0.20).

Conclusion
The antimicrobial intervention of quarterly azithromycin plus or minus nitazoxanide led to only transient decreases in enteric infections with Shigella/EIEC, enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), Campylobacter, and Giardia. There was a trend towards improved growth in children infected with Campylobacter that received quarterly azithromycin.
The role of pulmonary rehabilitation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: An overview of systematic reviews
Authors: Song Shangyue , Feng Zhenzhen , Liu Wenrui , Li Jiansheng 
Published: December 2023

Background
The role of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has been studied in several systematic reviews (SRs), but no definitive conclusions have been drawn due to the wide variation in the quality and outcomes of the studies. And there are no studies to assess the quality of relevant published SRs. This overview aims to determine the effectiveness of PR in patients with IPF and to summarize and critically evaluate the risk of bias, methodological, and evidence quality of SRs on this related topic.

Methods
With no language restrictions, eight databases were searched from inception to March 10, 2023. The literature search, screening, and data extraction were carried out separately by two reviewers. We assessed the risk of bias using the ROBIS tool, the reporting quality using PRISMA statements, the methodological quality using AMSTAR-2, and the evidence quality using Grades of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE).

Results
Seven SRs from 2018–2023 (including 1836 participants) on PR for the treatment of IPF were selected, all of which included patients with a definitive diagnosis of IPF. After strict evaluation by the ROBIS tool and AMSTAR-2 tool, 42.86% of the SRs had a high risk of bias and 85.71% of the SRs had critically low methodological quality in this overview. PR might be effective for patients with IPF on exercise capacity, quality of life, and pulmonary function-related outcomes, but we did not find high quality evidence to confirm the effectiveness.

Conclusion
PR may appear to be an effective and safe treatment for patients with IPF, but the results of this overview should be interpreted dialectically and with caution. Further high-quality, rigorous studies are urgently needed to draw definitive conclusions and provide scientific evidence.
Efficacy and safety profile of combining antiangiogenic agents with chemotherapy in patients with advanced malignant pleural mesothelioma: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Authors: Tian Wei , Guo Qian , Fu Daidi , Ma Xiao , Wang Rui 
Published: December 2023

Objectives
Several prospective trials had been reported on chemotherapy with or without antiangiogenic agents in patients with advanced malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), with diverse results. We performed this systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination regimen.

Methods
We systematically identified trials in several databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ASCO Abstracts and ESMO Abstracts. All the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about chemotherapy combined with antiangiogenic agents in advanced MPM were identified. Overall survival (OS) was the primary outcome, while progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR) and serious toxicities were the secondary outcomes. Review Manager 5.3 was used to perform the statistical analyses. Stata 12.0 was used to assess the publication bias of egger’s test.

Results
5 randomized controlled trials containing 1250 patients were finally included in this analysis. Statistical analyses showed that the addition of antiangiogenic agents to chemotherapy could prolong OS [HR 0.79 (0.71–0.89), p<0.0001] and PFS [HR 0.75 (0.68–0.84), p<0.00001] in advanced MPM, especially in the epithelioid subgroup, with a tolerable toxicity profile. No significant difference was found in the analysis of ORR [HR 1.13 (0.95–1.35), p = 0.18]. Heterogeneity was found in the analyses of PFS and ORR, which might be caused by the limitation in uniform evaluation of tumor response.

Conclusions
The combination of antiangiogenic agents with chemotherapy showed superior over chemotherapy alone in patients with advanced MPM. More prospective trials should be warranted to identify patients who would most likely benefit from the combination regimen.
Circulatory bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 8B is a non-invasive predictive biomarker for the diagnosis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)
Authors: Mounika Nadella , Yadav Angeera , Kamboj Parul , Banerjee Sanjay K. , Deka Utpal Jyoti , Kaur Savneet , Adela Ramu 
Published: December 2023

Background
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a complex disease which is characterized by the deposition of fats in the hepatocytes. Further, it progresses to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The increasing prevalence of NAFLD urges to find the non-invasive predictive biomarkers. In this study, we sought to determine increased BMP8B levels as predictors for the progression of NAFLD.

Methods
In the present cross-sectional study, circulatory BMP8B levels were measured in healthy controls (n = 56), NAFL patients (n = 72) and NASH patients (n = 77) by using an ELISA kit. Human hepatic BMP8B mRNA expression was measured in the liver tissue of control and NASH patients. In addition, BMP8B expression was confirmed by immunohistochemistry analysis. Furthermore, hepatic BMP8B mRNA expression was measured in wild type (WT) mice, WT mice fed with choline deficient high fat diet (WT+CDHF), iNOS (inducible nitric oxide synthase) knockout (iNOS-/-) mice, iNOS-/- fed with CDHF diet (iNOS-/-+CDHF).

Results
Increased circulatory BMP8B levels and BMP8B mRNA expression in hepatic tissue were significantly higher in NASH patients as compared with the control subjects. BMP8B expression was increased parallel to the fibrosis score in the hepatic tissues of NASH patients. It was observed that increased BMP8B levels have shown a significant positive correlation between aspartate aminotransferase (r = 0.31, p = 0.005), alanine aminotransferase (r = 0.23, p = 0.045), APRI (r = 0.30, p = 0.009), and Fib-4 score (r = 0.25, p = 0.036) in NASH patients. BMP8B has maintained a significant association with NASH and shown high sensitivity (92.91%) and specificity (92.73%) in NASH patients. Furthermore, increased BMP8B mRNA expression levels were observed in iNOS-/-+CDHF mice.

Conclusion
Our study findings confirmed that BMP8B increases with the severity of the disease and BMP8B shows potential as a non-invasive predictive biomarker to identify NAFLD progression. However, future studies should investigate circulatory BMP8B levels in a large number of patients and also its impact on liver during NAFLD progression.
Perspectives on healthy eating practices and acceptance of WIC-approved foods among parents of young children enrolled in WIC
Authors: Hammad Nour M. , Kay Melissa C. 
Published: December 2023

Introduction
The prevalence of childhood obesity remains high in the United States, particularly among children living in low-income households. Diet quality plays an important role in obesity prevention, particularly among mothers as they serve as role models. Those served by the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) receive nutrient-rich foods aimed at increasing diet quality, yet redemption is low. Digital interventions targeting WIC parents show potential for behavior change and could be used for childhood obesity prevention.

Methods
This study describes the formative research conducted to understand perspectives on healthy eating practices, acceptance of WIC-approved foods, and preferences for the use of digital tools to improve the purchasing and consumption of WIC-approved foods to improve diet quality. In-depth interviews were conducted with 13 WIC parents and caregivers.

Results
A variety of definitions for and misconceptions about healthy eating exist among WIC caregivers. Most purchased foods were fruits, vegetables, milk, cheese, and eggs and the least purchased foods were yogurt and peanut butter. The biggest facilitator for purchasing WIC-approved foods was the preference of children and caregivers, whereas the biggest barrier was children’s picky eating behaviors. Most caregivers reported using their phone to get nutrition information. Most caregivers reported their interest in receiving weekly text messages and indicated preferences about receiving recipes.

Conclusion
A text messaging program that includes sending weekly messages, recipes, and nutrition tips is hypothesized to improve diet quality and increase redemption of WIC-approved foods.
A simple dissection method for the isolation of mouse trabecular meshwork cells
Authors: Binter Maximilian , Langer Fridolin , Hu Xiaonan , Lindziute Migle , Framme Carsten , Tode Jan , Fuchs Heiko 
Published: December 2023

Purpose
The outflow pathway, especially trabecular meshwork (TM), plays an essential role in glaucoma, and the availability of TM cells is crucial for in vitro research. So far, the isolation of TM cells from mice has been anything but manageable due to the small size of the eye. Direct isolation using a stereomicroscope and forceps requires a high grade of dexterity. Indirect isolation is based on the phagocytic properties of TM cells and involves injecting magnetic microspheres into the anterior chamber of live mice followed by isolation. Therefore, a simpler, less expensive, and nonexperimental strategy for isolating mouse TM cells would be desirable.

Methods
After enucleation, the eyes were cut in half anterior-to-posteriorly. The lens and posterior segment were removed. Iris and the attached ciliary body were gently pulled backward and disconnected from the remaining tissue to expose the TM. By incising through the cornea anteriorly and posteriorly of the TM, the cornea/TM stripe could be isolated. The cornea/TM stripe was cultured with the pigmented side down in a 6-well. The outgrowing pigmented cells were analyzed by immunocytochemistry and mRNA expression for previously described TM cell markers. The phagocytic properties of the cells were additionally confirmed using fluorescent microspheres.

Results
Pigmented phagocytic cells were the first to grow out of the cornea/TM strips after approximately 4–7 days. Cells were positive for Collagen IV, Fibronectin1, Vimentin, and Actin alpha 2 and could phagocytize fluorescent microbeads. Cross-linked actin networks were visible after 9 days of exposure to TGFB2 (transforming growth factor-beta 2). Additionally, treatment with 500 nM Dexamethasone for one week increased myocilin expression, as previously reported for TM cells. In addition, we proved that this method can also be used in albino mice, which lack pigmentation of the trabecular meshwork.

Conclusions
The isolated cells show phagocytic properties and specific expression of markers reported in TM cells. Therefore, our dissection-based method is inexpensive and reproducible for isolating TM cells in mice.
