BACKGROUND:
Whether the total number of compressive vessels in trigeminal neuralgia (TN) affects outcomes after microvascular decompression (MVD) is unknown.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate whether the number of compressive vessels is associated with outcomes after MVD.

METHODS:
We retrospectively reviewed all patients with TN who underwent MVDs at our institution from 2007 to 2020. The number and identity of compressive vessels on the trigeminal nerve were recorded. Preoperative and postoperative pain and numbness Barrow Neurological Institute scores were compared. Factors associated with pain recurrence were assessed using survival analyses and multivariate regressions.

RESULTS:
We identified 496 patients with a single vessel and 381 patients with multiple vessels compressing the trigeminal nerve. Compared with patients with a single compressive vessel, patients with multiple sources of compression exhibited increased Barrow Neurological Institute pain scores preoperatively (P = .01). In addition, pain recurrence was more frequent (P < .001) and occurred after a significantly shorter pain-free duration (P < .001) for the multiple compression group. Using multivariate ordinal regression, a greater number of arteries (P = .03) and veins (P = .03) were both significantly associated with higher pain scores at final follow-up. Furthermore, the number of arteries (P = .01) and of veins (P = .01) was significantly associated with a higher risk for pain recurrence.

CONCLUSION:
TN patients with a single compressive vessel exhibited better pain outcomes after an MVD. Patients with multiple compressive vessels exhibited higher pain scores preoperatively and incurred a higher risk for pain recurrence, which occurred after a shorter pain-free interval compared with the single compression cohort.

Authors: Lee Seung Jin , Archang Maani , Tubbs Shane , Riew K. Daniel , Janus Jeffrey R. , Clifton William 
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND:
Anterior approaches to the cervical spine are among the most common exposures by which neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons access the prevertebral space and ultimately the cervical disk and vertebral bodies. There is a paucity of literature describing the microanatomic fascial planes of the neck with respect to anterior cervical approaches.

OBJECTIVE:
To delineate the microanatomic connections of the cervical fascial planes pertinent to anterior cervical exposure.

METHODS:
Using a cadaveric model, original illustrations, the Visible Human Project, and an original surgical video, we demonstrate a stepwise method for identifying the correct planes for anterior cervical exposure.

RESULTS:
A step-by-step method for identifying the anterior cervical fascial planes intraoperatively is demonstrated.

CONCLUSION:
A comprehensive understanding of anterior cervical microsurgical anatomy is vital for performing a methodical yet efficient approach to the prevertebral space while minimizing retraction and iatrogenic injury to the surrounding neurovascular structures.

Abstract
Background
Standard sentinel lymph node procedure (SNP) in pediatric cancer consists of a preoperative injection with 99mtechnetium nanocolloid in combination with an optional intraoperative injection with blue dye. However, blue dye has disadvantages, and the detection rate is low, with only 60% of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) staining blue. In adult oncology, fluorescence imaging using indocyanine green (ICG) has been shown to be a safe and accurate method for visual detection of SLNs, with a higher sensitivity (up to 97%) compared with blue dye. Therefore, our aim is to determine the feasibility of the addition of ICG to 99mtechnetium nanocolloid (ICG–TC) for visual detection of SLN in pediatric patients.

Methods
A total of 15 pediatric patients with melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and sarcoma were prospectively included. Preoperatively, patients were injected with ICG–TC and imaging with lymphoscintigraphy and single-photon emission computed tomography– computed tomography was performed. Intraoperatively, SLN was detected with fluorescence and the gamma probe. Postoperatively, fluorescence was quantified by tumor-to-background ratio (TBR) and surgeons evaluated the use of ICG using a standardized questionnaire.

Results
In 10/15 (67%) patients, SLNs were visible transcutaneously. Of all intraoperatively detected SLNs, 35/37 (95%) were fluorescent and 37/37 (100%) were radioactive. Furthermore, ICG–TC led to the identification of six additional SLNs as compared with preoperative imaging. The median TBR in vivo was 6.5 (IQR 5.3). The surgical evaluation showed that ICG assisted in SLN detection and was easy to use.

Conclusions
ICG–TC for the SNP is a feasible procedure in pediatric patients. It showed an accurate detection rate, was helpful for visual guidance, and no adverse events occurred.
Application of a nested polymerase chain reaction assay to detect Anaplasma bovis and Anaplasma phagocytophilium in cattle in Lorestan province, Iran
Authors: Noaman V , Beiranvand M-H 
Published: January 2023

Anaplasmosis is an important tick-borne disease caused by Anaplasma species in cattle and other ruminants. This study aimed to determine the leukocytotropic species of bovine anaplasmosis (Anaplasma bovis and A. phagocytophilium) among cattle of Lorestan province, Iran using nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR). Two hundred blood samples were taken from the jugular vein from healthy cattle, randomly. The extracted from DNA blood cells was screened using the universal primers, which amplify a DNA fragment (1468bp) from the 16S rRNA gene of the genus Anaplasma. The PCR products from positive samples were examined for A. bovis and A. phagocytophilium 16S rRNA gene by species-specific nPCR. Out of the 200 cattle examined, 10 (5%) and 4 (2%) were found nPCR positive for A. bovis and A. phagocytophilium, respectively. No morulae were observed in the blood smears and clinical signs were not seen in infected cattle. Findings in the present study corroborate the low infection rate of A. bovis and A. phagocytophilum in Lorestan province, Iran. Identifying interaction among animal reservoirs, vectors, and pathogens in different climatic zones in Iran are necessary to be performed in future investigations.
Prevalence, Characterization and PFGE profiles of multidrug resistance extended spectrum β-lactamase producing Escherichia coli strains in animal-derived food products from public markets in Eastern Turkey
Authors: Cebeci T 
Published: January 2023

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) has increased markedly in recent years, which has currently posed a major challenge in antimicrobial treatments and raised concerns regarding possible transfer of such bacteria through the food chain. The aim of this research was to investigate the prevalence of ESBL-producing E. coli in milk, cheese and meat samples and to determine their virulence, pathotype, serotype, antibiotic resistance and genetic relatedness. A total of 300 food samples were purchased from public markets in different districts of Giresun city. Five (1.6%) of 300 food samples resulted positive for ESBL-producing E. coli isolation. β-Lactamase-encoding genes of the CTX-M (20%), TEM (40%), and SHV (20%) groups were detected singly or in combination. Five ESBL-producing E. coli isolates were further analysed for the presence of virulence genes. Virulence factor genes detected were hlyA (20%), ehlyA (20%), iutA (60%), iucD (40%), fimH (100%), kpsMTII (100%) and traT (100%). Of 130 E.coli isolates, 5 ESBL-producing E. coli strains (totally 3.8%) were isolated, including 3 EHEC (60%). No EIEC, ETEC, EPEC, DAEC or EAggEC3 was detected. In PCR, three stx2 (60%) and one flicH7 (20%) encoding genes were found in ESBL-producing E. coli isolates. In addition, genes encoding Shiga toxins were detected in 3 of 5 isolates, three isolates (60%) encoded O128 serotype.The antibiotic susceptibility test of positive isolates showed resistant to cefuroxime, trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole, cefazolin, streptomycin, ceftriaxone, tetracycline, ampicillin and trimethoprim. Most of ESBL-producing E. coli isolates showed 80% MDR phenotypes against at least four classes of antibiotics. Specific-PCR detection of antibiotic resistance genes showed the prevalence of the tetA gene in most of the isolates (80%), followed by dfrA, qnr, aadA1 and sul1. PFGE results show that the isolates from different districts presented no clonal relatedness. This is the first report of the characteristics of multidrug resistance ESBL-producing shigatoxigenic E. coli in dairy and meat products in a local city in Turkey. Our findings indicate that dairy and meat products could be reservoirs of MDR ESBL-producing E. coli strains that were possessed several virulence factors and may be a cause of concern for human health.
COMPUTER-MEDIATED COMMUNICATION AND INTERNATIONAL MORPHEMES
Authors: Osetrova Olga I. , Khusainova Daria V. 
Published: January 2023

Globalization, active internalization and progress in technology have intensified the impact that American English has over national languages. The impact can be seen in borrowing a big amount of computer-mediated communication (CMC) lexis from the English language. The processes mentioned need description and explanation which makes the article relevant.
Materials and methods. Works concerning different aspects of lexical borrowing and peculiarities of CMC words are mentioned. CMC lexis derived from international morphemes is studied in the article. Qualitative evaluation, description and generalization are used in the study.
Results. Three main groups of CMC lexis are distinguished: 1) computer terms directly borrowed from English by national languages, 2) general technical terms, 3) words of general lexis. Words of the two latter groups are often “internal” borrowings, that is they are metaphorised international words having been adapted by the Russian language to be used in other fields. These lexemes are derived with the use of the native mechanisms of the Russian language though in a manner similar to that of their English equivalents.
Practical implications. Results of the study can be used in teaching Lexicology, Cross-cultural communication and in translation practice.

Authors: Dubskikh Angelina I. , Butova Anna V. , Kisel Olesya V. 
Published: January 2023

Background. For many decades, the attention of researchers has been riveted to the phenomenon of discourse. Its subjects, key functions and concepts were considered. The grounds for discourse typology were identified. The relevance of the study is explained by the fact that the communicative environment of German entertainment discourse is little researched, and the need for a more detailed analyzing of its constitutive features and strategies.
Purpose of this study is to describe lexico-semantic and syntactic means, verbs of various types, used to implement the attention strategy in German entertainment discourse.
Materials and methods. The material of this study was the “star” interviews texts posted on the websites of the German publications “Der Spiegel” and “Die Zeit”. The methods of continuous sampling and generalization, as well as the method of semantic analysis, were used in the work.
Results. The entertainment attraction, their ability to diversify people’s lives, contributed to the modification, modernization and continuity of many traditions and customs. The paper deals with the types and genres of entertaining discourse, its subjects, and the originality of communicants’ conversation. It is emphasized that one of the most frequent strategies used by participants in the entertainment discourse is the attention strategy. This strategy is implemented through a set of specific constructions (“ich bin / war”; “ich habe / ich habe nicht”; “mein, meine” plus a character trait), verbs of various types (“mögen”, “lieben”; “können”), lexico-semantic and syntactic techniques.
Practical implications. The results of the study can be used in lectures on stylistics, pragmatics, imagology.

Authors: Maslakhova Alina B. , Baimuratova Ulyana S. 
Published: January 2023

Background. The cultural reforms at the end of the 20th century in China opened to the world a whole variety of genres of Chinese short stories, as well as science fiction and historical fiction. Thanks to the Internet, they are gaining popularity at the present stage of literature formation, expanding the range of genres of online works with new types such as xianxia, xuanhuan, wuxia, which are rich in lexemes that denote the realia of Chinese culture and are of interest to translators.
Purpose. The article considers the stratum of equivalent-free vocabulary and reveals a variety of ways to translate realia from Chinese into English and Russian
Materials and methods. The research material comprises the popular Chinese short stories of the xianxia genre by the writers Mo Xiang Tong Xiu “Mo Dao Zu Shi” (also known as “The Untamed”), published by Jinjiang Literature City online publishing house (晋江文学城), 2015-2016, and the short story “Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife” by Mo Shu Liu, published by Motie (磨铁图书), 2015. The material was analyzed using the continuous sampling and content analysis method, as well as the lexical-semantic and translation analysis.
Results. In this article the authors reviewed the scientific definition of the term “realia”. They also analyzed a new genre of Chinese online literature (xianxia) as one of the rapidly gaining popularity. Examples of realia from two online novels were classified according to the typology by four principles of division (subject, local, temporal, translational). It is defined that the indicated division of analyzed realia while translating them from Chinese into Russian and English manifested itself in creating a neologism, which results in preservation of content and flavor of the translated realia, as well as the descriptive, approximate and contextual types of translation.
Practical implications. The practical usefulness of the results of the study consists in the possibility of replenishing the cross-cultural dictionary of Chinese realia with new lexemes and their interpretation in Russian and English, in the use of the analyzed lexemes when compiling the trilingual corpus for linguists, philologists, literary scholars to work with.

FEATURES OF THE FRAME ‘GREEN ECONOMY’ IN THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING POLITICAL DISCOURSE
Authors: Vigna-Taglianti Jacopo , Sidorova Elizaveta N. , Shirlina Elena N. 
Published: January 2023

Background. Recently, the issues of sustainable economic development and environmentally friendly production have become an important part of the political agenda in various countries. The public image of the ‘green economy’ is formed in the political discourse, so that is where its framing takes place. However, the features of the frame ‘green economy’ in public speeches of prominent political figures have not gotten enough attention yet.
Purpose. The article examines the features of the frame ‘green economy’ in the public speeches of British prime ministers to identify its environmental and economic aspects, the degree of its specificity and its scientific character, as well as the role played in the framing process by the party membership and political views of the speakers.
Materials and methods. The research material comprises the most significant speeches of D. Cameron, T. May and B. Johnson for the years 2012-2021. Quantitative methods and discourse analysis were used to analyse the material.
Results. The research results have shown that British politicians address green economy issues in their public speeches when it suits the topic of the event. They try to present sustainable economic development as the prerogative and merit of their party, but at the same time, as a task for the entire nation. Moreover, the prime ministers rarely refer to scientific data. Quantitative analysis has shown that the environmental aspect of the green economy frame is generally more fully represented than the economic one.
Practical implications. The results of the research can be used in compiling a corpus and vocabulary on green economy, as well as in teaching English to economics students.
CYCLICAL TIME IN ADVERTISING TOURIST NARRATIVE
Authors: Men’shikova E. Ekaterina 
Published: January 2023

Background. The study provides an analysis of cyclical time in the advertising tourist narrative. Historically, two main models of time coexist in the cultural consciousness, i.e., cyclical time and linear time. In the linguistic picture of the world, cyclical and linear time are complementary. The connection of cyclical time with cyclical phenomena of nature, the relationship of an event and time are especially relevant for the advertising tourist narrative.
Purpose. To determine the features of the functioning of cyclical time in the advertising tourist narrative.
Materials and methods. The actual material for the study was the online texts of the advertising tourist narrative. The article used a set of such research methods as continuous sampling, material analysis, descriptive.
Results. The results of the study showed that cyclic time is definite, it assumes an objective division of time segments and is directly related to events. It was revealed that the cyclic time in the texts of the advertising tourist narrative determines the development of events, and the event determines the perception of time. According to the results of analysis of practical material, the author identifies seasonal, daily and calendar types of time regulation in the advertising tourist narrative. The author comes to conclusion that the cyclicity of time structures the advertising tourist narrative as a compositionally designed communicative event.
Practical implications. The results of the study can be applied in the courses of lectures and seminars on general linguistics, lexicology and cognitive linguistics.
