We report a case of home hemodialysis with infectious endocarditis complicated by cerebral infarction and septic pulmonary embolism, most likely due to frequent shunt punctures. The patient, a 52-year-old man, was introduced to hemodialysis at our hospital 11 years ago due to reduced renal function caused by polycystic kidney disease and was transferred to home hemodialysis in the same year. Fever and general weakness appeared four days before he was urgently admitted to our department. Two blood culture sets revealed methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), brain MRI revealed multiple cerebral infarctions, and transesophageal echocardiography revealed infective endocarditis. The patient was transferred to the cardiology department of an affiliated hospital, treated with antimicrobials (for a total of 58 days), and discharged home on the 63rd day after admission. Frequent shunt punctures were considered to be the cause of the bloodstream infection leading to multiple complications.

Authors: Esma Gezer Pekyen  , Bünyamin Sertoğullarından  
Published: October 2023

Objective: The diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) is important as they may be malignant. It is difficult to diagnose PPLs in the absence of a diagnostic guiding tool. Computed tomography (CT) thin-section multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) images have been used as an alternative guide for bronchoscopic diagnosis of PPL. In this study, we aimed to investigate the diagnostic efficacy of MPR image guidance for PPL. Methods: Patients with PPL who underwent bronchoscopic brush biopsy guided by thoracic CT thin-section MPR images at our center were retrospectively reviewed. The distance of the lesion to the distal bronchus, the presence of the CT-Bronchus sign, the location of the PPL, and the size of the PPL were recorded from the hospital image record archive. The diagnosis rate was obtained from the procedure records. Results: The study included 92 cases. The mean PPL size was 40 ± 21 mm and the mean distal bronchial lesion distance was 27 ± 19 mm. A total of 49 (53.3%) patients had a positive CT-Bronchus sign. The diagnostic yield of the method was 48.9%. The diagnosis rate was significantly higher in patients with positive CT-Bronchus sign (67.3%) compared to those without (26.7%) (P = 0.001). Factors affecting the diagnosis in the logistic regression analysis were distal bronchial lesion distance, presence of CT-Bronchus sign,and localization of the lesion. Conclusion: CT thin-section MPR images can be used for bronchoscopy guidance in cases with PPL larger than 20 mm and positive CT-Bronchus sign in centers where an interventional radiology unit and other guidance tools are not available.

Published: October 2023

Purpose: Persistent atrial fibrillation decreases baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), which is considered an indicator of cardiac autonomy. Furthermore, atrial fibrillation ablation has also been found to reduce the BRS. The baseline BRS of patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) and persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF) was compared and the BRS-modifying effect of ablation was investigated. Methods: The BRS was measured before and after the procedure and the presence or absence of atrial fibrillation recurrence was assessed. Results: Pre-operative BRS was significantly lower in patients with PeAF compared with those with PAF. The BRS was significantly reduced postoperatively in all patients, with a particularly large reduction in PAF patients. The BRS decreased to a lesser extent with ablation in patients with recurrent PAF. Conclusions: Baseline BRS was lower in patients with PeAF. Atrial fibrillation ablation reduced BRS in both PAF and PeAF patients but had a stronger reduction effect in PAF patients.
Naringin Attenuates CCl4-Induced Hepatocyte Damage by Inhibiting Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress
Authors: Umut Kerem Kolaç  
Published: October 2023

Objective: Exposure of the liver to diverse chemicals induce hepatic damage. Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is widely used toxin to investigate hepatic injury. In our study, the effects of naringin (NRG), a flavanone abundant in citrus fruits, on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and stress-mediated apoptosis in CCl4-induced liver injury were investigated. Materials and methods: THLE-3 cells were exposed to varying concentrations of CCl4 for 24 hours and then treated with different doses of NRG for 4 hours. The effects of varying concentrations on cell viability were determined. Then, protein expressions of ER stress markers were detected in hepatocytes. Finally, Bcl2 active / inactive cell ratios were determined by flow cytometry. Results: NRG treatment (5 and 10 μM) significantly increased cell viability, which decreased with CCl4 administration. Similarly, the increased levels of ER stress markers as a result of CCl4 application were significantly reduced with NRG treatment. Finally, NRG prevented apoptosis by significantly reducing ratio of Bcl2 inactive cells. Conclusion: NRG treatment is effective in suppressing ER stress in CCl4-induced hepatocyte damage and preventing ER stress-induced apoptosis.

Published: October 2023

An oval shape foramen is present in the greater wing of sphenoid through which passes the many vital structures. It is located at the transitional area between intracranial and extracranial structures. It is important for diagnostic and surgical procedures. A total 100 skulls were used for the study. 82 skulls were studied and 18 skulls were excluded from the study. The skulls were collected from Phase I MBBS students from different medical colleges in south India. Skulls in poor conditions or skulls with partly damaged surroundings of the foramen ovale were not considered. Maximum length and width of foramen ovale was measured using digital Vernier calliper. Also, the distance from the anterior root of zygoma and the distance from the articular tubercle on zygomatic arch to foramen ovale were measured. Variation in right and left side were calculated, the variations in shape also recorded. The mean length of foramen ovale was 6.8 ±1 and the mean breath of foramen ovale was 3.65±1. Two-sample independent t test showed significant difference between the right and left breadths of foramen ovale (p 0.0126), while the right and left lengths of foramen ovale were not significant (p 0.245). The mean distance of foramen ovale from articular tubercle on Zygomatic arch was 33±2 mm. The mean distance from anterior root of Zygomatic arch was 21.5 ± 2.1 mm. The present study concludes that there is significant difference between sizes of right and left side foramen ovale. Foramen ovale has practical significance to both neurosurgical and functional cranial neuroanatomy as it provides transcutaneous approaches to the skull base especially in cases of trigeminal neuralgia, as the Gasserion ganglion can be approached through it.

The present study was aimed to assess the incidence of phlebitis and identify the factors that cause phlebitis in children with a peripheral intravenous cannula.A prospective observational study was conducted between 15 July 2022 to 30 November 2022 in pediatrics wards of a tertiary care hospital. 225 children with PIVC were included in the study. PIVC was observed till phlebitis developed or maximum for seven consecutive days after enrollment. Phlebitis was defined by using the Jackson VIP scale. The incidence of phlebitis was 54.22% at 95% confidence interval. There was a significant association between phlebitis and the use of crystalloids, frequency of PIVC handling per day, use of cancer drugs, and use of a three-way, method of drug administration. The mean life span of PIVC was 69.86 ±32.88 hours, and the range was 19-180 hours.The incidence of phlebitis is much higher than the acceptable limit as per Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice which should be reduced. Crystalloids, the Method of drug administration, and cancer drugs are the risk factor for phlebitis. The study suggests that most likely phlebitis occurs after three days.

Selanjutnya penelitian dianalisis menggunakan teori Mubadalah oleh Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir. Perempuan berhak, dan harus terlibat menjadi bagian dari penyelenggara Pemilu 2024 di Indonesia. Artikel ini berargumen bahwa penyebab rendahnya representasi keterlibatan perempuan sebagai penyelenggara Pemilu dapat diidentifikasi menjadi faktor eksternal dan faktor internal. Faktor eksternalnya adalah karena konstruksi sosial masyarakat Indonesia yang masih menempatkan perempuan secara tidak adil dan setara. Adapun faktor internalnya adalah tidak adanya keinginan dari perempuan untuk keluar dari konstruksi sosial yang sesungguhnya merugikan dirinya. Menggunakan pembaacaan mubadalah oleh Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir, maka ketika laki-laki bisa menjadi Penyelenggara Pemilu, perempuan juga bisa menjadi Penyelenggara Pemilu. Kehadiran perempuan dan laki-laki sebagai penyelenggara Pemilu adalah untuk saling melengkapi, dengan begitu maka Pemilu 2024 yang demokratis juga akan dapat terwujud.

To improve the ductility of high-strength concrete and enhance the ductility and load-bearing capacity of steel reinforced high-strength concrete (SRHSC) columns, steel fibers were added to SRHSC to prepare steel and steel fiber reinforced high-strength concrete (SSFRHSC) columns. In order to study the eccentric compression of SSFRHSC columns, based on the experimental study of the eccentric compression of SSFRHSC columns, finite element model specimens of SSFRHSC eccentric columns were established using ABAQUS software, and the accuracy of the model was verified by combining the test results. On the basis of the experiments, the parameters such as steel fiber volume rate, concrete strength and eccentricity distance were further changed to extend the study. The results show that: with the increase of the volume rate of steel fiber from 0.5 % to 3 % and the concrete strength from C40 to C90, the ultimate bearing capacity of the specimen increases by 40.81 % and 58.69 % respectively; at the same time, when the eccentric distance increases from 0 mm to 100 mm, the ultimate bearing capacity of the specimen decreases by 66.76 %, and when the eccentric distance When the eccentricity distance was increased from 0 mm-40 mm to 60 mm-100 mm, the structural damage form changed from brittle damage to ductile damage.

Published: October 2023

Trenches, as important military defense measures, have significant practical significance in studying the impact of trench terrain on the propagation patterns of explosive shock waves. This research is based on numerical simulations and establishes six trench models with depths of 0 mm, 200 mm, 400 mm, 600 mm, 800 mm, and 1000 mm, as well as five different lengths of trenches: 400 mm, 600 mm, 800 mm, 1000 mm, and 1200 mm. The internal and front-to-back shock wave pressures within the trenches were numerically calculated. The research findings indicate that as the depth of the trench increases, the pressure at the midpoint of the trench bottom gradually decreases within a depth of 800 mm, and then slowly increases beyond 800 mm. As the length of the trench increases, the pressure on the trench bottom significantly decreases when the length does not exceed 600 mm, but steadily increases after reaching 600 mm.
Investigation of torsion angle measurement method in spatial cables of suspension bridges
Authors: Xiao Guangqing , Wu Fucheng , Cao Shuidong , Zheng Cheng 
Published: October 2023

Spatial cables in suspension bridges may twist between two adjacent suspension points due to transverse tension. To determine the spatial torsion angle of the cables, a scale-reduced suspender bridge model was fabricated and tested in this study. The cable torsion angles of the bridge model under different loading cases were obtained and presented. Theoretical methods (e.g., the coordinate method and the angle method) to calculate the spatial cable torsion angle in the suspender bridge were developed by analyzing the deforming characteristics of the suspender cables. The feasibility and predictive accuracy of the proposed methods were assessed using the experimental results. Results show that the proposed coordinate and angle methods produced similar torsion angles for the main cables, showing a maximum relative error of 10.4 %. Compared to the coordinate method's complex data transformation and measurement procedures, the angle method is more convenient, efficient, and easier to calculate the torsion angle of the main cable. Despite the capability of calculating the spatial cable torsion angles, the coordinate method also exhibits advanced capability in determining the geometric curves of the main cable under different spatial angles.

Second, education is dialogic-critical, suitable for simplifying the policies of the RPP and the zoning system. Third, critical pedagogical education deserves to be applied to the national standard school examination policy (USBN) administered by the school.
American Farmers’ Attitudes toward China and the U.S.–China Trade Dispute: A Mediated Relationship
Authors: Han Guang , Rodriguez Lulu , Qu Shuyang 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The trade dispute between the U.S. and China significantly cut agricultural product sales to a major foreign market and drastically hurt Midwest farmers’ pocketbooks. To explore Midwest farmers’ attitudes toward China and the trade dispute, we surveyed 693 farmers in Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota. We found that farmers’ attitudes toward China were generally unfavourable; farmers were also somewhat pessimistic about the outcome of the trade dispute. Additionally, we found that farmers’ attitudes toward the trade dispute were driven by their disposition toward China, the information they obtained from interpersonal and media sources, the perceived credibility of media sources, their propensity to take on risks, income, and years of farming. Farmers’ attitudes toward China, on the other hand, were influenced by the degree to which they saw information sources as credible. We also found that farmers’ attitudes toward China played a mediating effect in the positive impact of media credibility on farmers’ attitudes toward the trade dispute.
