Minimally invasive modification of the Goel-Harms atlantoaxial fusion technique: a case series and illustrative guide
Authors: Gelinne Aaron , Piazza Martin , Bhowmick Deb A. 
Published: March 2023

OBJECTIVE
The Goel-Harms atlantoaxial screw fixation technique for the treatment of atlantoaxial instability and unstable odontoid fractures is reliable and reproducible for a variety of anatomies. The drawbacks of the technique are the potential for significant bleeding from the C2 nerve root venous plexus and the risks associated with posterior midline exposure and retraction, such as pain and wound complications. The authors developed a minimally invasive surgical (MIS) modification of the Goel-Harms technique using intra-articular grafting to facilitate placement of percutaneous lateral mass and pars screws with extended tabs for minimally invasive subfascial rod placement. The objective of this study was to present the authors’ first series of 5 patients undergoing minimally invasive modification in comparison with 51 patients undergoing open atlantoaxial fusion.

METHODS
A retrospectiveanalysis of patient comorbid conditions, blood loss, length of surgery, and length of stay was performed on patients undergoing Goel-Harms instrumented fusion (GHIF) for unstable odontoid fractures performed between 2016 and 2021.

RESULTS
Patients undergoing the minimally invasive procedure showed significantly less blood loss than those undergoing the open atlantoaxial fusion procedure, with a median blood loss of 30 ml compared with 150 ml using the open technique (p < 0.01). The patients showed no significant differences in length of stay (2 days for MIS vs 4 days for open atlantoaxial fusion, p = 0.25). There were no significant differences in length of surgery for MIS, but a possible trend toward increased operative duration (234 vs 151 minutes, p = 0.112).

CONCLUSIONS
In this small pilot study, it was shown that MIS-GHIF can be performed with decreased blood loss in atlantoaxial instability and odontoid fractures. This technique may allow for greater and safer application of the procedure in the elderly and infirm.

Abstrak

Hipotermia post operasi sangat mengganggu kenyamanan pasien dalam proses pemulihan. Hipotermia ini disebabkan karena ruang operasi dan ruang ICU memiliki suhu yang rendah. Hipotermia post operasi juga dapat terjadi karena luka terbuka, aktifitas otot-otot inhalasi gas-gas yang dingin infus dengan cairan yang dingin, agens obat-obatan (bronkodilator, fenotiasin, anesthesia), usia lanjut dan neonates. Tubuh akan melakukan mekanisme pembuangan panas apabila tubuh terpapar oleh suhu yang dingin (secara radiasi, konveksi, konduksi dan evaporasi). Beberapa metode yang dilakukan untuk mengatasi hypotermi post oprasi antara lain, pengaturan suhu ruang operasi, pemberian matras penghangat, infus hangat, humidifier hangat dan penggunaan lampu.
Tujuan rancang bangun alat antihypothermi warmer ini adalah untuk meningkatkan temperatur udara chamber dengan metode heater blower dengan menggunakan elemen pemanas yang dihubungkan ke motor dynamo dan kipas angin dengan menngunakan suplai energy listrik PLN. Peningkatan temperature chamber akan berguna untuk meningkatkan suhu tubuh pasien yang mengalami Hypothermi setelah menjalani proses operasi yang ditandai dengan menurunnya suhu tubuh dan shivering (menggigil).
Dari hasil pengujian alat, alat diaktifkan dalam waktu 60 menit, dengan setting temperature 24°C, sesuai tandar temperaatur ruang kamar operasi. Setiap 10 menit peningkatan suhu chamber dicatat dan hasilnya alat antihypothermi berhasil meningkatkan suhu chamber rata-rata 45°C. Untuk meningkatkan temperatur ke suhu 45°C, dibutuhkan waktu 8 menit.

Food Intolerance and Sensitivity Are Associated With Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain in a Self-Selected Community Population
Authors: Thomson Ella , Beer Harriet , Ryan Laura , Philcox Edward , Kelly Clive 
Published: March 2023

INTRODUCTION People are presenting with chronic musculoskeletal pain at a younger age, and many fulfil criteria for fibromyalgia. We have recently shown a strong association between fibromyalgia symptoms and autistic traits in a self-selected community population, with the relationship mediated in part by the presence of hypermobility. Many respondents also described food sensitivities and intolerances. This study explores the relationships between food issues and fibromyalgia symptoms in this population METHODS The study used a nonexperimental, correlational design with data collected from a volunteer sample of 442 adults (aged 18-60) who completed online self-report questionnaires assessing each of fibromyalgia symptoms (ACR criteria), autistic traits (RAADS score) and hypermobility (Beighton’s test). Subjects were also asked to record any food sensitivities, allergies, or intolerances, along with their consequences. Correlation analyses and linear regressions were used to test the relationships between these features and each of fibromyalgia, autistic traits and hypermobility. Data was analysed using parametric and non-parametric techniques to assess the strength and significance of relationships, and the potential mediating effect of food-related symptoms in the correlation between fibromyalgia features and autistic traits RESULTS Our self-selected community population had a mean age of 24 years and was 77% female. The prevalence of fibromyalgia, autistic traits and hypermobility was 40%, 65% and 44% respectively. Half of all subjects reported food sensitivity and 31% reported food intolerance. The incidence of food-related symptoms was higher among subjects who met criteria for fibromyalgia than those who reported autistic traits or hypermobility. Food sensitivity and food intolerance were both more significantly associated with fibromyalgia (r=0.24, p>0.001 and r=0.38, p>0.001) than with autistic traits (r=0.15, p>0.01 and r=0.17, p>0.01). DISCUSSION This is the first community study to provide evidence for a direct association between features of fibromyalgia and reported food intolerance and sensitivity. Although self-selected, the findings in our predominantly young population suggest that gluten and lactose consumption may be associated with higher levels of musculoskeletal pain. The study population commonly reported that avoidance of gluten and / or lactose containing foods reduced symptoms. Dietary adjustment may merit further investigation as a therapeutic modality for some patients with fibromyalgia.
Temporal Markers as a Way of Modeling the Artistic Space of the Poem “Pe aceeași ulicioară” by M. Eminescu
Authors: Diehl A. V. 
Published: March 2023

Introduction. The present study is devoted to the analysis of linguistic and cultural specifics and features of the functioning of temporal markers that model the artistic space of the poem “Pe aceeași ulicioară” by M. Eminescu. The universal category of temporality becomes the object of research at the intersection of various scientific disciplines: linguistics, psycholinguistics, literary criticism and cultural studies. Thus, the relevance of this study is primarily due to its interdisciplinarity. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that the linguocultural analysis of temporal markers in the poem “Pe aceeași ulicioară” by M. Eminescu is carried out within the framework of the anthropocentric paradigm. The purpose of the study is to identify the specifics of the temporal structure of the poem “Pe aceeași ulicioară”, taking into account the meaning-forming function of temporal markers in its cognitive scenario, structuring the temporal perspective of the poem and modeling the emotional world of the lyrical hero.Methodology and sources. The theoretical basis of the study is presented by the works of linguists who analyzed the essence of the category of temporality, as well as the linguocultural specifics of emotional concepts in the anthropocentric paradigm. In this article, when analyzing the language material, the following methods were used: the method of conceptual-frame analysis, the descriptive method, the contextual and interpretive methods.Results and discussion. In the center of the artistic space of the literary works of M. Eminescu is his lyrical hero with his rich inner world an emotional person, nostalgic for the past and sensitively responding to the change of mood in his contemporary society. The article presents the results of the categorization of temporality markers, the lexemes that structure the time plans of the present and the past in the context of describing the emotional world of the lyrical hero.Conclusions. It has been found out that the temporal markers in the poem “Pe aceeași ulicioară” by M. Eminescu perform the function of localizing the events described in the poem within the artistic space of the poem, correlating them with the temporal plan of the present or past, and thus structure the world of emotional experiences of the lyrical hero. The artistic concepts “past”, “present” and “love” considered in the article closely interact and echo each other. The semantic dominant of the poem is the concept of love, which unites the selected concepts within the storyline of the poem, which is partly autobiographical.
Peculiarities of the Functioning of the Taboo Lexicon in the Modern Western Cinematography
Authors: Pankratova S. A. 
Published: March 2023

Introduction. The article reviews peculiarities of functioning of taboo lexis, which is a manysided and indispensable aspect of modern filmmaking. The study aims at the analysis of taboo functioning in the linguistic field in order to improve foreign content application in compliance with censorship requirements. The implementation presupposes analysis of taboo lexical units, revealing their functioning features as regards to acceptable implementation of the taboo and to depict the possible ways of optimization of its use in modern cinema.Methodology and sources. The article presents results of the analysis of the taboo lexis in Western filmmaking, the former being based on a complex semantic-discursive and pragmatic approach. Specific linguistic methods of observation, description and quantitative measurement are used in the article together with the general linguistic methods of comparison. Informative basis of the study is comprised of more than 300 examples selected by the method of continuous sampling from 19 Western films and y means of the internet-resource scripts.com, as well as slang and jargon dictionaries.Results and discussion. Taking into account many-sided study of the taboo lexis, the article reveals more than 60 units representing gender, and social features of taboo in the English language carrying an imprint of directive connotation. These taboo units are ubiquitously used in the Western filmmaking degrading the speech value of film characters and the general cultural level of film industry. The analysis demonstrates that taboo lexis is able to create veritable images of film characters and their scenic behaviour in spite of the unacceptability of taboo usage in mass media.Conclusion. As was shown by the study of the taboo lexis its application by English-language speakers in film is conditioned by considerations of magnified emotional and evaluating expressivity of the speech. It is particularly noticeable that marginalized strata and theme scope of communication on topics of crime of illegal income with the help of taboo is defined by directivity of the discourse and language play.
Actual Tasks of Sociological Diagnostics (on the Example of “Wartime Essays” by K. Manheim)
Authors: Shcherbina A. V. 
Published: March 2023

Introduction. The article analyzes the current possibilities of diagnosing the society of wartime, based on the subject content and methods of sociology, as a non-trivial task for sociologists-teachers of higher education.Methodology and sources. The theoretical sources of the research were the works of classics of sociology (O. Comte, K. Marx, E. Fromm, K. Manheim) and modern Russian sociologists (M.K. Gorshkov, S.A. Kravchenko, J.T. Toschenko, V.Y. Fetisov), who defined the tasks of sociological diagnostics. The "Diagnosis of Our Time" by K. Manheim is analyzed as a historical example of their formulation. The empirical base was made up of official documents of the Russian Federation, the results of VTSIOM surveys, materials of public discussions in the Russian media, expert assessments and examples of analysis of the dynamics of civil society in the conditions of SVO. The methodology of socio-cultural analysis, social constructivism, typological method is used as a specific research strategy that allows to formulate complex value judgments.Results and discussion. Based on the experience of K. Manheim, the article discusses the current possibilities of sociological diagnostics based on the essential characteristics of society. In contrast to technocratic approaches, it is argued that sociological rationalism is not reduced to scientific and experimental. He includes the problems of natural law as his methodological principle in the analysis of social dynamics. On this basis, the tasks of sociological diagnostics are formulated: the study of the assessment process as a factor of social change reproducing the “crisis of assessments”. Its mechanisms are considered, – transfer, transformation, replacement with non–traditional equivalents, creation of new values, and ways of justification, – utilitarian justification, faith in the leader, class, racial and ethnic community. It is shown that a holistic understanding of shifts in the evaluation system is achieved by constructing ideal-typical concepts based on the axiological consciousness of the researcher. A research strategy of sociological diagnostics is outlined: collecting samples, models of self-determination in wartime conditions and their public discourse. The practical application of sociological knowledge is associated with the creation of value-probabilistic scenarios for the development of society as incentives for socio-economic and political transformations. Conclusion. The sociological diagnosis of wartime society requires the construction of conceptual ideas that collect images of the future that meet the priorities of security, personal freedoms and innovation. The idea of a “gathering”, ideally a conciliar democracy, seems very promising.

Authors: Pérez-García José , López Ortega María de los Ángeles 
Published: March 2023

En este artículo se indagó en qué medida las prácticas docentes de evaluación en el aula reflejan un nivel de literacidad evaluativa. Se utilizó como técnica principal de recolección de información la entrevista semiestructurada, y para la reducción de los datos se empleó el software ATLAS.ti 22. Participaron en el estudio once docentes activos de educación básica, seleccionados de forma no probabilística intencional. Los resultados muestran un uso diversificado de instrumentos para la evaluación en el aula, la utilización de aspectos académicos y no académicos para asignar calificaciones, el desconocimiento de los principales atributos de las evaluaciones externas, y un empleo limitado de la evaluación formativa. Se concluye que los docentes no logran identificar los principales atributos de las evaluaciones externas para su aprovechamiento en el aula. Al mezclar aspectos académicos y no académicos en las calificaciones, no logran que estas reflejen el desempeño de los alumnos. Asimismo, utilizan diversos instrumentos para la evaluación, aunque evidencian carencias en la formación metodológica para su elaboración.

Published: March 2023

Introduction: Osteoporosis is currently diagnosed based on areal bone mineral density (aBMD) computed from 2D DXA scans. However, aBMD is a limited surrogate for femoral strength since it does not account for 3D bone geometry and density distribution. QCT scans combined with finite element (FE) analysis can deliver improved femoral strength predictions. However, non-negligible radiation dose and high costs prevent a systematic usage of this technique for screening purposes. As an alternative, the 3D-Shaper software (3D-Shaper Medical, Spain) reconstructs the 3D shape and density distribution of the femur from 2D DXA scans. This approach could deliver a more accurate estimation of femoral strength than aBMD by using FE analysis on the reconstructed 3D DXA.Methods: Here we present the first independent evaluation of the software, using a dataset of 77 ex vivo femora. We extend a prior evaluation by including the density distribution differences, the spatial correlation of density values and an FE analysis. Yet, cortical thickness is left out of this evaluation, since the cortex is not resolved in our FE models.Results: We found an average surface distance of 1.16 mm between 3D DXA and QCT images, which shows a good reconstruction of the bone geometry. Although BMD values obtained from 3D DXA and QCT correlated well (r2 = 0.92), the 3D DXA BMD were systematically lower. The average BMD difference amounted to 64 mg/cm3, more than one-third of the 3D DXA BMD. Furthermore, the low correlation (r2 = 0.48) between density values of both images indicates a limited reconstruction of the 3D density distribution. FE results were in good agreement between QCT and 3D DXA images, with a high coefficient of determination (r2 = 0.88). However, this correlation was not statistically different from a direct prediction by aBMD. Moreover, we found differences in the fracture patterns between the two image types. QCT-based FE analysis resulted mostly in femoral neck fractures and 3D DXA-based FE in subcapital or pertrochanteric fractures.Discussion: In conclusion, 3D-Shaper generates an altered BMD distribution compared to QCT but, after careful density calibration, shows an interesting potential for deriving a standardized femoral strength from a DXA scan.

Mechanosensitive channel of large conductance (MscL) is the most thoroughly studied mechanosensitive channel in prokaryotes. Owing to its small molecular weight, clear mechanical gating mechanism, and nanopore forming ability upon opening, accumulating studies are implemented in regulating cell function by activating mechanosensitive channel of large conductance in mammalian cells. This study aimed to investigate the potentials of mechanosensitive channel of large conductance as a nanomedicine and a mechano-inducer in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) A549 cells from the view of molecular pathways and acoustics. The stable cytoplasmic vacuolization model about NSCLC A549 cells was established via the targeted expression of modified mechanosensitive channel of large conductance channels in different subcellular organelles. Subsequent morphological changes in cellular component and expression levels of cell death markers are analyzed by confocal imaging and western blots. The permeability of mitochondrial inner membrane (MIM) exhibited a vital role in cytoplasmic vacuolization formation. Furthermore, mechanosensitive channel of large conductance channel can be activated by low intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) in A549 cells, and the suppression of A549 tumors in vivo was achieved by LIFU with sound pressure as low as 0.053 MPa. These findings provide insights into the mechanisms underlying non-apoptotic cell death, and validate the nanochannel-based non-invasive ultrasonic strategy for cancer therapy.

Published: March 2023

Covalent organic polymers have excellent application prospects in photocatalysis due to their excellent visible light absorption and structural designability. However, their fast recombination efficiency and complex preparation process limit their applications. Because of the above problems, this paper used urea to prepare g-C3N4 by high-temperature thermal polymerization and prepared g-C3N4 composite photocatalyst loaded with MeTMC-COP (g-C3N4/MeTMC-COP) by hydrothermal method. The photocatalytic hydrogen generation and photocatalytic degradation capabilities of composite photocatalysts with various mass ratios were investigated by characterizing the catalyst and using the organic dye Rhodamine B (RhB) as the pollutant. According to the research, the specific surface area of the g-C3N4/MeTMC-COP composite may reach 40.95 m2 g−1 when the mass ratio of g-C3N4 and MeTMC-COP is 3:1 (25.22 m2 g−1). It can offer more active sites for the photocatalytic process, and because the fluorescence peak intensity is the lowest, it has the lowest photogenerated electron-hole recombination efficiency. In comparison to g-C3N4, 3:1 g-C3N4/MeTMC-COP can breakdown rhodamine B up to 100% after 75 min of light irradiation; its photocatalytic hydrogen generation efficiency is 1.62 times that of g-C3N4, and the hydrogen evolution rate is 11.8 μmol g−1 h−1.
