Authors: Hamad Anas Abdullah , Alhumaidi Maryam S. , Manayi Azadeh 
Published: May 2023

Aims:
This study aimed to isolate and identify the Streptococcus spp. bacteria from patients with dental caries infection. Furthermore, the antibacterial activity of new plant extracts on isolated Streptococcus spp. was also evaluated.

Methods:
A total of 150 samples were obtained at random from people of various ages and genders who were suffering from dental caries infection. Four different culture media were used for isolation: nutrient agar, MacConkey agar, blood agar, and Streptococcus selection agar. The identification of bacterial isolates was distinguished by macroscopic examination and the VITEK 2 system.

Results:
Only 120 cases (80%) showed positive culture, and these were distributed as follows: Streptococcus sanguinis had the highest rate and accounted for 38.33%, and Streptococcus pseudoporcinus represented only 29.16%. A 20% decline was reported for Streptococcus salivarius, with the lowest proportion being 12.5% for Staphylococcus warneri. The MIC for 16 tested plant extracts ranged from 0.97 to 125 µg/mL, whereas the MBC values ranged from 3.9 to 500 µg/mL. Imipenem was a positive control, with MIC values ranging from 3.9 µg/mL to 15.6 µg/mL; the MBCs varied from 31.2 to 125 µg/mL against all isolated species.

Conclusion:
Among the isolated bacterial species from tooth decay, Streptococcus sanguinis had the highest rate of isolated bacteria and accounted for 38.33%, while Staphylococcus warneri had the lowest percentage at 12.5%. Sargassum, Proskia, and Cicer arietinum were three distinct extracts that demonstrated superior antibacterial activity against all of the tested bacterial species. Their MIC values ranged from 0.97 µg/mL to 15.6 µg/mL, and the MBC values were between 3.9 µg/mL and 31.2 µg/mL.

Published: May 2023

Aim:
In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effects of Fenbufen treatment on the SAP model induced by caerulein and lipopolysaccharide.

Background:
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is an extremely dangerous disease with high mortality, which is associated with inflammatory response and acinar cell death. The caspase family plays an important role in cell death, such as caspase-1 and caspase-11 in pyroptosis. In recent years, caspases have been shown to be a novel pharmacological target of Fenbufen.

Objective:
Effects of Fenbufen on pancreatic tissue damage and serum levels of lipase and amylase in SAP in mice; Effect of Fenbufen on caspase-1 pathway in SAP in mice; Effect of Fenbufen on caspase-1/caspase-11-mediated pyroptosis of PACs in SAP in mice; Effect of Fenbufen on isolated PACs and caspase-1/caspase-11-mediated pyroptosis in vitro.

Methods:
In vivo, eighteen female C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: the NC group, the SAP group, and the Fenbufen +SAP group with 6 mice in each group. The SAP model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of caerulein and lipopolysaccharide. The pathological changes in pancreatic and the serum levels of lipase and amylase and the relative gene and protein expressions in each group were compared. In vitro, pancreatic acinar cells were assigned to 5 groups: medium group, SAP group, Fenbufen 100μM group, Fenbufen 200μM group, and Fenbufen 400μM group. The cell damage and the relative gene and protein expressions in each group were evaluated.

Results:
Our results showed that Fenbufen ameliorated the severity of SAP and decreased the serum levels of lipase and amylase. Meanwhile, the in vivo and in vitro data demonstrated that Fenbufen inhibited the activation of caspase-1 and caspase-11, decreasing the levels of IL-1β, IL-18, and GSDMD. In in vitro experiments, we found that by inhibiting the activation of caspase-1 and caspase-11, Fenbufen significantly reduced lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) excretion by acinar cells.

Conclusion:
In general, our data showed that Fenbufen could protect the pancreatic acinar cell from injury by inhibiting pyroptosis.

future.

Objective:
By reviewing the latest development and patent of Computer Vision SLAM, this paper
provides references to researchers in related fields.

Methods:
Computer Vision SLAM patents and literature were analyzed from the aspects of the
algorithm, innovation, and application. Among them, there are more than 30 patents and nearly 30
pieces of literature in the past ten years.

Results:
This paper reviews the research progress of robot visual SLAM in the last 10 years, summarizes
its typical features, especially describes the front part of the visual SLAM system in detail,
describes the main advantages and disadvantages of each method, analyses the main problems in
the development of robot visual SLAM, prospects its development trend, and finally discusses the
related products and patents research status and future of robot visual SLAM technology.

Conclusion:
The Robot Vision SLAM can compare the texture information of the environment and
identify the difference between the two environments, thus improving accuracy. However, the current
SLAM algorithm is easy to fail in fast motion and highly dynamic environments, most SLAM
action plans are inefficient, and the image features of VSLAM are too distinguishable. Furthermore,
more patents on the Robot Vision SLAM should also be invented.

ARTIKEL REVIEW : SISTEM IMUNITAS DALAM KEHAMILAN
Authors: Tangkas Made 
Published: May 2023

Pregnancy is the process of continuing the existence of an organism, and preventing its extinction. During pregnancy, there is a fundamental human adaptation process that increases the body's resistance to the risk of external attack. Regardless of the role of the immune system in early pregnancy, an increase in the human immune system, which is the most important system for dealing with infections to protect the mother and the fetus, is one of the important adaptation responses to protect the mother as well as the fetus. Various physiological changes are interrelated, especially to ensure the growth of the baby in the uterus can take place properly. Anatomical, physiological and biochemical adaptations in pregnancy are profound. Many significant changes occur immediately after fertilization and continue throughout pregnancy and most occur in response to physiological stimulation by the baby and placenta. This article discusses the changes in immune system function involved in pregnancy.

This nanotechnology utilizes the gas in the bubbles, making it easier for the gas to enter the cell. This study aimed to determine the effect of O2, CO2, N2, H2, and O3 gases in NBs on the growth of the Dendrobium Imelda Marina Masagung ´ Bumi Menangis orchid. The method used was to provide fertilizer and NBs treatment to Dendrobium orchids for six weeks with observations every one week. The data obtained were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and further tested post hoc tests with Ptukey <0.05. The results showed significant differences in stem diameter and orchid plant height. The orchid stem diameter was more significant with the NBs treatment than the fertilizer and control treatments. Orchid plants with NBs treatment were higher than those with fertilizer and control treatments. The appearance of new shoots and roots also indicates plant growth. Orchid leaf colour with fertilizer and NBs treatment changed from the Yellow-Green Group (144) to the Green Group (143), except for the control. Leaves colour affects the process of photosynthesis, the green colour will carry out photosynthesis better than Green-Yellow leaves. This affects plant growth in Dendrobium Imelda Marina Masagung ´ Bumi Menangis orchid. NBs enlarge the stem, increase the height and make the leaves green.

Buddhist Pro-Woman Attitudes Towards Full Ordination: Tibetan and Himalayan Monastics’ Views
Authors: Price-Wallace Darcie 
Published: May 2023

Since the 1980s, Tibetan religious leaders and Vinaya scholars have been examining the possibility of restoring the Buddhist ordination vow lineage for women (Tib. dge slong ma, gelongma) in India. These leaders and scholars focus primarily on canonical prescriptions and emphasize that this issue precludes questions of gender equality (pho mo ‘dra mnyam). However, little attention has been paid to the perspectives of Himalayan and Tibetan monastics outside of leadership positions. In order to understand how these Buddhist nuns and monks reconcile Vinaya prescriptions and gender equality, I interviewed and surveyed monastics residing in Bodh Gaya, India, between January 2018-March 2019. Their responses indicate a diversity of views about the relationship between restoring gelongma vows, Vinaya, and gender equality. And yet taken as a whole, they hold a view that is pro-woman but also accounts for gender asymmetries in ways that are sometimes at odds with a gender-justice and rights-based feminism. Their monastic version of feminism downplays social differences and instead emphasizes similarities between men and women’s practices as sites for ethical cultivation within the confines of celibate Buddhist monasticism.
Oscillation criteria for third order neutral difference equations with distributed delay
Authors: R. Arul  , G. Ayyappan  
Published: May 2023

In this paper we study the oscillatory behavior of third order neutral difference equation of the form$$\Delta\left(r(n) \Delta^2 z(n)\right)+\sum_{s=c}^d q(n, s) f(x(n+s-\sigma))=0, n \geq n_0 \geq 0,$$where $z(n)=x(n)+\sum_{s=a}^b p(n, s) x(n+s-\tau)$. We establish some sufficient conditions which ensure that every solution of the equation oscillates or converges to zero by using a generalized Ricaati transformation and Philos - type technique. An example is given to illustrate the main result.
