Published: March 2023

This study aims to diagnose environmental management practices adopted by industries in the jeans production chain and present new and sustainable solutions to reduce environmental damage throughout the production processes. Through bibliographic research, documentaries, and semi-structured interviews, it was possible to diagnose several actions proposed by the present company to reduce environmental damage and contribute to achieving social justice. Thus, the research is significant, as the textile sector has excellent potential for achieving the SDGs in Brazil, especially when considering the growth of the world market of jeans, tied to various environmental and social impacts throughout the production process. Initiatives taken by other companies in the sector were identified, indicating new possibilities that can be adapted to the reality of several organizations to use them as a reference in mitigating environmental impacts. Regarding the company analyzed, it was observed that there is a stance on pollution control, considering the various initiatives that seek to mitigate social and environmental issues. However, it is suggested that the company has many mechanisms and paths to evolve toward pollution prevention postures or even a strategic approach, which will ensure a better performance in the implementation of new sustainable practices.

Poderá A existência e manutenção de áreas verdes no meio urbano é vital para a certificação de qualidade ambiental e de vida da população. Considerando a previsão legal destes espaços, faz-se necessário utilizar ferramentas que auxiliem na localização e visualização da densidade de cobertura vegetal presente nas cidades, identificando as áreas menos vegetadas e monitorando o crescimento ou decrescimento ao longo dos anos. Visando contribuir neste contexto, foi realizado um estudo na mancha urbana do município de Cabo Verde - MG, analisando-se imagens de satélite (Sentinel 2A) dos anos de 2016 e 2022, através do método Índice de Vegetação por Diferença Normalizada (NDVI). Os mapas de NDVI mostraram as mudanças de vegetação espaço-temporais ocorridas no período investigado, verificando-se uma redução de 1,39 km2 de áreas urbanas vegetadas, sendo a redução mais expressiva observada nas regiões periféricas. Nesse sentido, a aplicação de instrumentos de geoprocessamento e sensoriamento remoto implica na verificação concisa do objetivo estipulado, uma vez constatadas modificações expressivas na paisagem da área de estudo, perante as áreas verdes.

A conjuntura político-social ascendida pela pandemia do novo coronavírus expôs a vulnerabilidade de grande parcela da população brasileira, bem como destacou a importância de políticas alternativas aos modelos tradicionais, sobretudo por meio da internacionalização de políticas públicas realizadas pelos entes subnacionais, prática reconhecida pela literatura especializada como paradiplomacia. Dada a relevância do tema, são necessários estudos que, a partir de análises de casos reais, permitam entender a importância da atividade paradiplomática nas políticas públicas atuais. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo descreve dois casos, a saber, a cooperação entre Guarulhos, Seine-Saint-Denis, Maputo e Matola (2011), no âmbito do Edital Franco-Brasileiro de Cooperação Descentralizada e Trilateral em Benefício ao Haiti e Países Africanos, e o caso da atuação do Governo do Estado de São Paulo na compra e na produção de vacinas por uma via internacional (2020-2022). Para tanto, este trabalho, em relação ao seu objetivo, se caracteriza como uma pesquisa exploratória, de cunho qualitativo e baseada em levantamento bibliográfico e análise documental. Os resultados permitem destacar impactos positivos da compra de vacinas realizada por meio da paradiplomacia no Estado de São Paulo, e dos esforços transnacionais para a melhoria da Gestão de Resíduos Sólidos nas cidades moçambicanas de Maputo e Matola.

PROGNOSTİC VALUE OF Kİ67 İN BORDERLİNE MUCİNOUS OVARİAN TUMORS
Authors: ÖCAL İrfan , DEMİR Sinem 
Published: March 2023

Objective
Ovarian borderline tumors (OBTs) are an intermediate
type of ovarian neoplasm. Ovarian mucinous borderline
tumors (MBT) are the second most common subtype
of OBT. Because of their uncertain pathogenesis
and biological behaviour they cannot be classified
clearly into benign and malign categories. There is a
need to identify a parameter that provides more prog-
nostic information about the clinical course and can be
evaluated easily in routine practice. Ki67 is a routinely
used immunohistochemical marker that is strongly associated
with cellular proliferation, including tumor cells.
We aimed in this study to evaluate the prognostic
significance and to determine prognostic cut-off value
of Ki67 counting in the MBTs and to investigate its relationship
with clinicopathologic features, recurrence,
and long term survival status and also to provide more
information to the literature.
Material and Method
A total of 20 cases diagnosed with ovarian mucinous
borderline tumors were identified. Immunohistochemical
studies were performed on the most representative
sample of the tumor. Positive signal was nuclear and it
was evaluated by two pathologists.
Results
Ki67 proliferating index (P.I) value with a median of
15%(1-47%) and a mean of 16% Ki67 P.I. reached
statistically significance at 20% cut-off value with
progression and at 30% cut-off value with 5-year OS.
(p=0.021 and p=0.032, respectively). Although the
Ki67 P.I. tended to increase with age, there was no
statistical association between Kİ67 P.I. and other clinicopathological
parameters including tumor size, laterality,
capsule integrity, intraepithelial carcinoma and
focal atypia.
Conclusion
In our study, recurrence was more frequent when Ki67
was greater than 20%, and 5-year survival was lower
when Ki67 was greater than 30%, suggesting that
the Ki67 index was associated with a more aggressive
course and death. Therefore, we predicted that
Ki 67 would be useful in determining the frequency of
follow-up of patients and predicting their prognosis.
However, we think that this result should be supported
by larger series.

Utility of 99mTc-MIBI myocardial perfusion imaging in the evaluation of cardiovascular complications in COVID-19 patients
Authors: Soltanabadi Masume , Hedayati Raheleh 
Published: March 2023

The coronavirus disease is due to Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 mainly affects the respiratory and immune systems and other organs like the cardiovascular and nervous systems, lungs, and kidneys (1). Several studies have reported COVID-19 patients with persistent symptoms for months after the initial phase. The most common symptoms are fatigue, headaches, cough, anosmia, arthralgia, and chest pain (2). Studies have shown this modality to diagnose, follow up, and evaluate response to treatment in chronic COVID-19 complications using 99mTc-MIBI myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), pulmonary involvement with 99mTc-MAA perfusion lung scan, renal involvement with 99mTc-DTPA, and 99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy (3). Myocardial perfusion imaging with 99mTc-MIBI provides meaningful data to predict prognosis, risk of annual cardiac events, and evaluation of myocardium viability (4). Conventional SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI) needs a viable metabolically active myocardial cell to extract the radiotracer. A review of articles shows that 99mTc-MIBI myocardial perfusion scintigraphy could be helpful in the timely acute myocardial infarction (MI) diagnosis and myocardial viability in COVID-19 patients. It is also beneficial in managing COVID-19 patients with heart failure by myocardial injury evaluation and choosing the best therapeutic choice, prognosis, and treatment response.

Objectives: Opium addiction is one of the fundamental public health problems today that could influence cardiovascular disease outcomes. Recent studies have shown that opium addiction may increase the risk of postoperative complications in patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery. In this retrospective cross-sectional study, we aimed to assess whether opium addiction may affect the postoperative complications of off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (OPCAB) (1).
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we searched the clinical records of all patients who underwent OPCAB surgery from 2017/03/21/ to 2018/03/19/ at Afshar and Seyed Al-Shohada Hospitals in Yazd, Iran. We evaluated the patients for postoperative complications. Complete patient demographic and clinical data collected through a review of patient records. Finally, the collected data were analyzed using SPSS software version 18.
Results: A total of 889 patients (667 (76.2%) non-addicted, 127 (14.3%) opium addicts, and 86 (9.6%) smokers and opium addicts) met our criteria and were included in the study. The average age of the participants was 62.09 ± 9.8 years. Frequency distribution of the most postoperative variables such as intubation duration, intensive care unit (ICU) stay, postoperative bleeding volume, pack cell count, need for fresh frozen plasma (FFP), platelet injection volume, need for reoperation, need for intra-aortic balloon pump, as well as Atrial fibrillation (AF) rhythm showed no significant difference between the three groups. However, the only significant difference between the three groups reported the need for postoperative use of inotropic drugs (p=.001).
Conclusions: According to the results, the only complication that differed significantly in the three patient groups after OPCAB was the need for inotropic drugs.

Published: March 2023

Objectives: Cardiovascular diseases are the primary cause of death all around the world, and the complications of heart disease can reduce the patient's quality of life.Adherence to a therapeutic plan can reduce surgical complications and promote the healing process. This study aimed to survey the relationship between adherence to a therapeutic plan and quality of life in discharged patients after a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG).
Methods: Descriptive correlational research was carried out to discover relationships among variables. The study was conducted in Hamadan hospital in 2014. Seventyone patients undergoing CABG surgery were selected by convenience sampling method. Before discharge, the patients completed the Mac New Quality of Life Questionnaire and adherence to therapeutic plan questionnaire that included medicine adherence, recommended care, diet and exercise orders, and incentive spirometry. After five weeks, patients again completed the questionnaires, and the data were analyzed.
Results: There was a positive and significant relationship between patients' quality of life and adherence to the treatment plan. As the treatment program increased, the patients' quality of life also increased (r= 0.695, p <0.05).
Conclusions: More adherence to treatment plans in patients undergoing CABG surgery leads to the enhancement of the quality of life in patients.

Authors: Jiang Yiming , Wang Jinhai , Zhang He , Min Yeping , Gu Tijun 
Published: March 2023

Background: Polarization of macrophages and miR-7 have been reported to greatly influence the progress of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the interaction is unclear. We aimed to investigate the role of miR-7 in the serum exosome of COPD, thus further revealing the underlying mechanism of COPD.
Methods: The study was conducted in 2022 in The Affiliated Changzhou No.2 People’s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Changzhou, China. COPD mouse model was established. Macrophages were sorted by flow cytometry assay. ELISA kits were used to detect the levels of TNF-α and IL-6. Exosomes were identified by confocal microscopy and PKH67 staining. RT-qPCR and western blot assay were performed to determine the mRNA and protein expressions. H&E staining assay was used to assess the tissue injury. CCK-8 assay was applied to evaluate cell viability. Luciferase reporter assay was used to confirm the binding between PIM1 and miR-7.
Results: The exosomes derived from the COPD mice serum exerted high level of miR-7, which induced M1 differentiation of macrophages and increased the secretion of proinflammatory factors in vivo and in vitro. The effects of exosomes from COPD mice could be inhibited by miR-7 inhibitor. Bioinformatic prediction, luciferase reporter assay, and western blot assay showed an interaction between miR-7 and PIM1. Further examination showed that miR-7 regulated macrophage activation and differentiation to M1 via PIM1 in vitro.
Conclusions: miR-7 from serum exosomes might exacerbate COPD by stimulating macrophage differentiation to M1, supplying a potential therapeutic target for COPD treatment.

Published: March 2023

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic brought many psychological consequences for patients with chronic low back pain. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy on emotional regulation and psychological distress in patients with chronic low back pain and COVID-19 anxiety.
Methods: This was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. The statistical population included patients with chronic low back pain in Tehran in 2021. The study sample included 30 patients with chronic low back pain who were selected using the convenience sampling method and were randomly assigned in to two experimental and control groups. The collection tools included COVID-19 anxiety (Alipour et al (2020)), emotional regulation (Gross and John (2003)), and psychological distress (Lovibond and Lovibond (1995)) questionnaires. The experimental group received 8 ninety-minute sessions of therapy based on acceptance and commitment, but the control group did not receive any intervention.
Research data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), normality (Shapiro-Wilk test), multivariate covariance analysis, univariate covariance analysis test in Mancova text, and Levene's, Box's and Bartlett's chi-square tests at a significance level of 0.05 through SPSS 24 software.
Results: The results of the present study showed that acceptance and commitment therapy has significantly increased emotion regulation (reevaluation and suppression) and reduced psychological distress (depression, anxiety, and stress) in patients suffering from chronic low back pain and COVID-19 anxiety (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that acceptance and commitment therapy has been able to reduce the psychological problems of patients with chronic low back pain and COVID-19 anxiety. For this purpose, it is suggested to hold workshops and develop programs by psychologists and pain specialists for patients with chronic low back pain.

Published: March 2023

Amaç: Varikoselektomi operasyonları çoğunlukla 20-35 yaşları arasında uygulanmaktadır. Bu yaş grubu aynı zamanda etkin iş gücü için de oldukça önemlidir. Varikoselektomide iş günü kaybı üzerine literatürde çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmamızla varikoselektomi ameliyatının iş günü kaybına etkisi üzerine farkındalık oluşturmak ve literatüre katkıda bulunmayı amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Aksaray Özel İnova Hastanesi’nde 07.03.2019-14.10.2022 tarihleri arasında varikoselektomi yapılan 77 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Varikoselektomi tek cerrah tarafından subinguinal yöntem kullanılarak, Carl-Zeiss operasyon mikroskopu (Carl Zeiss, Thornwood, NY) ile 10’luk büyütme altında uygulandı. Hastaların erken dönem komplikasyonları ve iş günü kaybı ameliyat sonrası 10. gün ve 1. ay kontrollerinde sorgulandı. Araştırma verilerinin istatistiksel analizi için Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), sürüm 22.0 (SPSS Inc. Chicago, ABD) bilgisayar paket programı kullanıldı. p 0,05). İş türü, medeni durum ve erken dönem komplikasyonların çeşitleri ile iş günü kaybı arasında istatistiksel anlamlı farklılık bulundu (p:0,014, p:0,03 ve p:0,02; sırasıyla).
Sonuç: Mavi yakalı çalışanların varikoselektomi operasyonu sonrası beyaz yakalı çalışanlara göre işe dönüş zamanı birkaç gün daha uzun olmaktadır. Yaklaşık olarak varikoselektomi sonrası çalışanlar 15 gün sonra işbaşı yapabilmektedir. Bu konuda prospektif, daha büyük merkezlerin geniş vaka serilerine ihtiyaç olduğu kanaatindeyiz.
