Published: July 2023

This study was conducted to find out the effect of feeding Leucaena leucocephala leaf meal on growth performance and digestibility of nutrients in growing rabbit and to know the cost of rabbit production. For this purpose, a total of twelve unsexed New Zealand White rabbits at 42 days of age were distributed randomly in three treatment groups, i.e. control (T0), adding 10% Leucaena leucocephala leaf meal (T1) in concentrate diet and adding 15% Leucaena leucocephala leaf meal (T2) in concentrate diet. All diets were iso-energic and iso-nitrogenous. Various aspects of the study, measurements taken in a 56 days experimental period were final body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio and feeding cost of rabbit production. Results show that the final body weight of rabbits was 1200±30, 1325±85 and 1114±136g, for the treatments of T0, T1 and T2, respectively. The body weights of rabbits were significantly higher in T1 over T2 and T0 groups. The average daily feed intake and feed conversion ratio were 109, 75.55, 83.57g and 9.55, 5.48 and 8.51 for the respective diets/treatments. The growth rate of T0, T1 and T2 treatment groups were 1.05, 1.44 and 0.99, respectively. There was significant effect of different treatment groups on growth rate, feed intake and feed conversion ratio (FCR). The digestibility of dry matter (DM) was the highest in diet T0 followed by diet T2 and T1, respectively. The digestibility of CP was slightly higher for treatment T2 containing 15% Leucaena dry leaf than that of treatment T0 and T1. The digestibility of crude fiber (CF) and ether extract was significantly (P<0.01) difference among the treatment groups. The highest NFE digestibility was recorded for diet T0 and lowest for diet T1. The costs of these three concentrate mixture were 24.43, 21.48 and 20.21Tk/kg for diet T0, T1 and T2, respectively. The reduction of feed cost of producing 1 kg live weight was by 53% in T1 and by 31% in T2 group from T0 group. It may be concluded that Leucaena leucocephala leaf meal at 10% inclusion level may be used as an alternative source of protien in the diet of rabbit as there was no adverse effect (toxicity) on feed consumption and feed conversion ratio. It may be recommended that adding 10% level of Leucaena leucocephala leaf meal of the diet for economic rabbit meat production.

There is widespread misinformation, taboos, and a lack of scientific analysis about vitiligo. In Bangladesh, there is a scarcity of research on vitiligo, though advanced treatments are widely available. This study aimed to investigate the treatment efficacy of vitiligo in a selected dermatology clinic and analyze the factors that impact the efficacy level. This was an analytical cross-sectional study among vitiligo patients who attended a dermatology clinic for treatment and were followed up for at least six months. Patients were treated by experienced physicians through a holistic treatment approach. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect information after obtaining informed consent. The data was processed by Microsoft Excel 2013 and analyzed by SPSS 25.0. The mean age of the study participants was 25.14 ± 13.32 years, where 60% were female. Acrofacial (33%), focal (27%), and acral (14%) are the most common types of vitiligo, and the face (n=73) is the most common body part. We have seen excellent treatment efficacy as proven by 94% of patients' lesion sizes decreased and 96% gained repigmentation at six months' follow-up. Our study revealed there is a negative impact of the presence of systemic disease and co-morbidities on vitiligo. The efficacy of the treatment was significantly affected by advanced age, body surface area, hypertension, diabetes, and anemia (P<0.05). Our analysis revealed a good treatment efficacy of holistic treatment for vitiligo in selected clinic. For more effective treatment, control of co-morbidities is essential. The findings of this study will help clinicians in their decision making during the treatment process of vitiligo.

Impurity effects on activation energy, structure and physical properties of Ybco superconductor
Authors: ÖZABACI Murat 
Published: July 2023

The influence of separately added 0.3 wt%, CdO, Bi2O3, BeO and SiO2 on the phase formation, microstructure, magnetic and transport properties of Y1Ba2Cu3O(7-$\delta$) (Y-123 or YBCO) fabricated by conventional solid state reaction method has been analyzed. The results reveal a very low solubility limit for bismuth and silicon in the Y-123 phase, leading to precipitation phases located within intergranular regions. BeO addition suppresses the granular nature of the structure by probably incorporating into the host matrix. CdO does not have a remarkable effect both on structural and superconducting properties of the Y-123 at this doping ratio. Attractive infield transition behavior was obtained in the Bi2O3 added sample with a narrower transition width and an increase of transition temperatures approximately 1 K. The activation energy (U0), a potential energy barrier to prevent flux flow, of the samples was estimated by taking into account Arrhenius law. The best U0 value was computed to be 1.11 eV belonging to the Bi2O3 added sample which implies the contribution of 3-5 µm sized Bi containing precipitation regions on the flux pinning capability of the Y-123.
Modern technology of surgical treatment for central retinal detachment with macular hole in patients with highly complicated myopia and scleral staphyloma
Authors: Arsiutov D. G. , Pashtaev N. P. 
Published: July 2023

Introduction. At present the major problem is the imperfection of the surgical approaches and the effectiveness of the surgical treatment for macular holes of various diameters associated with central retinal detachment in patients with high myopia and scleral staphyloma in the central zone. The main difficulty lies in creating the effective tamponade of the vitreous cavity necessary to close the macular hole. No less important is the effective blocking of the macular hole itself in the presence of deep scleral staphyloma. Silicone oils are currently used as a tamponing agent in most cases. Their viscous properties do not always allow the retina to be fully adapted. Searching for alternative highly effective methods of the surgical treatment for this pathology should increase anatomical and functional effectiveness of the treatment.The aim of this work is to develop the methodology and analyze the results of the surgical treatment of patients with central retinal detachment against the background of the macular holes of various diameters in patients with high myopia and scleral staphyloma using autologous conditioned plasma (ACP) as the blocking rupture composite and pneumoretinopexy as the final tamponade.Material and methods. Surgical tactics included subtotal vitrectomy 25+, 27G, peeling of the inner limiting membrane, pneumoretinopexy, introduction of ACP into the area of scleral staphyloma through the macular hole. After formation of the plasma seal at the base ACP was applicated to the surface of the retina in the hole area in 2–3 layers up to formation of the resistant ACP layer. The operation was completed seamlessly, blocking the scleroconjunctival access by applying 2–3 layers of ACP to the surface of the sclera and conjunctiva. Using this technique, 22 patients with central retinal detachment and macular hole with a diameter of 700–2200 microns against the background of high myopia and with severe scleral staphyloma were operated.Results. As a result of the treatment, in the early and late postoperative period the retina was completely adjacent and the macular hole was blocked in all the patients.Conclusion. In this way, this technique is the most sparing and highly effective. It allows to achieve the full anatomical fit of the retina and the closure of the macular hole, to eliminate the need for silicone tamponade, to minimize the risk of the postoperative complications in patients with central retinal detachment and the macular holes of various diameters in patients with high myopia and scleral staphyloma.

Background. A study of colour vision in patients with various ophthalmopathologies is one of the urgent tasks of modern ophthalmology. Only a small number of publications are devoted to results of the study of colour vision in children with amblyopia. This may be due to disadvantages of the currently existing methods of diagnosing colour vision, most of which are designed mainly for diagnosing colour vision in adults and teenagers or require complex equipment.Purpose: to study possibilities of using the developed own method of quantitative and qualitative assessment of colour vision in children with amblyopia.Material and methods. 81 school-age children were observed from the beginning of September 2021 to the beginning of June 2022. According to the results of standard ophthalmological examination they were divided into two groups: 1) 35 children (70 eyes) in the group with amblyopia, 2) 46 children (92 eyes) in the control group with normal visual acuity. The classic Farnsworth–Munsell Dichotomous D-15 test and our developed method of quantitative and qualitative assessment of colour vision were used to study colour vision in all children.Results. In the group of children with amblyopia, only 28.6% children with amblyopia in the study of the best-seeing eye and 14.3% in the study of the worst-seeing eye were able to perceive all colour tones correctly. Unlike in the control group, at least half of the children successfully coped with determining all the using colour tones testing each eye. Quantitative assessment of colour vision conducted using our developed method in the children with amblyopia showed significantly higher average values of the total error of perception of colour tones for the best-seeing eye (M = 15.4 ± 2.1°) compared with the worst-seeing eye (M = 30.5 ± 3.3°) and significantly higher (p < 0.05) similar values compared to the children in the control group. The severity of colour vision disorders in the children with amblyopia has a significant direct dependence on the duration of the disease and a significant inverse dependence on visual acuity (r = –0.47, p < 0.001). Most often, colour vision disorders detected in the children in the control group relate to the perception of red, green and blue color tones when examining both eyes. In the children with amblyopia the perception of green and blue tones is more often detected when examining the best-seeing eye and the perception of red, green, blue and purple tones is detected when examining the worst-seeing eye.Conclusion. Our developed method makes possible to effectively carry out quantitative and qualitative assessment of colour vision in children with amblyopia.

A 12-week growth trial was conducted to evaluate the complete co-replacement of fish meal (FM) and fish oil (FO) in juvenile Florida pompano (Trachinotus carolinus) diets. Five open-formula experimental diets were formulated as iso-nitrogenous (approximately 46% crude protein) and iso-lipidic (approximately 15% crude lipid). It is assumed that Florida pompano lack the mechanisms for synthesizing sufficient LC-PUFA. In the FM/FO-free diets, to meet the necessary dietary intake of LC-PUFA, a commercially available Schizochytrium algal oil was used. Four diets were prepared from a basal mix, with spirulina and poultry by-product meal as the principal protein sources. They differed only in their oil source, containing fish oil (FO), algal oil (AO), soy oil (SO), or a 50/50 blend of algal oil and soy oil (A/S). The fifth experimental diet (control) was a standard open-formula FM diet. In addition to the experimental diets, two commercial closed-formula diets served as references. The seven diets, each with four replicates, were stocked with 20 Florida pompano (approximately 4 g) in each. The experimental open-formula diets were tested against the control using Dunnett’s t-test, and different oil sources were tested against each other using orthogonal contrasts. The four experimental diets were each tested against the two reference diets with equivalency tests. Feed intake and survival were not different between the experimental diets and control. However, all production metrics were lower in the SO diet than the control. No other differences were observed between the FO, AO, and A/S diets and the control, or between the three diets. The feed conversion ratio (FCR) was higher in fish fed the SO diet than in fish fed the control diet, and no other differences were found. The protein efficiency ratio (PER) was higher in fish fed the control diet than in fish fed the experimental diets. Protein productive values (PPV) were similar to PER, except that the PPV in fish fed the AO diet was not different from the control. The contrasts revealed that the FO, AO, and A/S diets resulted in a lower FCR than the SO diet. The PER was higher in fish fed the AO diet, and lower in fish fed the SO diet. The PPV was higher in fish fed the AO diet than in fish fed the A/S and SO diets, but similar to that of fish fed the FO diet. There were striking differences in performance between the two commercial reference feeds, underscoring the importance of using well-defined open-formula diets as a reference or control. To our knowledge this is the first study to demonstrate that co-replacement of FM and FO can be achieved in Florida pompano by supplying an FM- and FO-free diet. The development of successful open-formula diets without FO will help spur innovation and sustainability in aquaculture production.

ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to explore the association between nocturia and hypertension in a large, nationally representative adult sample.MethodsWe used data from 2005 to 2016 National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys (NHANES). A total of 29,505 participants aged 20 years old or older were included. A participant was considered to have nocturia if he or she had two or more voiding episodes at night. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to explore the association between nocturia and hypertension.ResultsParticipants with nocturia were associated with a higher risk of hypertension (OR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.28–1.45). Interaction tests revealed no significant effect of sex, age, race, or body mass index on the association of nocturia with hypertension. As the severity of nocturia increases, the risk of hypertension increases (P for trend &lt;0.0001). In addition, nocturia was also related to different grades of hypertension (II vs. I: OR, 1.34, 95% CI, 1.16–1.55; III vs. I: OR, 1.67, 95% CI, 1.32–2.13).ConclusionIn this cross-sectional study, our results suggest that nocturia is associated with an increased risk for hypertension.
