Post-myomectomy omental infarction: a case report
Authors: Eboreime Ofunre , Yorwin Godwin , Ohenhen Victor 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background
Omental Infarction (OI) is uncommon and mimics common causes of acute abdomen. It is important to differentiate it from other abdominal conditions that require emergency management. It was first reported in literature in 1896 and about 400 cases have been reported till date.

Case presentation
We reported on a 41 year-old Para 0+0 Ibo house wife who presented with 10 years history of supra-pubic mass and five months history of excessive menstrual flow. After physical examination, a diagnosis of symptomatic uterine fibroid was made. She had myomectomy and the raw surface created after the excision of the myomas was covered with omentum. Wound infection developed on the 8th post-operative day leading to a wound breakdown and later partial extrusion of infarcted omental tissue through the dehisced wound. During re-exploration, the infarcted omental tissue was extracted and the residual abdominal abscess was drained. Surgical site wound infection occurred on the 3rd day after re-operation and a sub-acute intestinal obstruction developed on the 4th day thereafter which responded to conservative management.

Conclusion
Careful surgical technique is imperative when utilizing the omentum for reconstructive abdominal surgery. Torsion of the omentum and creation of excess tension while using the omentum for reconstructive procedures should be avoided and increase awareness of this uncommon disease condition by the surgeon is also important. This case is to report a rare finding of omental infarction following myomectomy.
The Chinese version of the Functionality Appreciation Scale: Psychometric properties and measurement invariance across gender and age
Authors: He Jinbo , Cui Tianxiang , Barnhart Wesley R. , Chen Gui 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background
Functionality appreciation, as an important aspect of positive image, is associated with fewer body image disturbances, fewer disordered eating behaviors, and improved psychological well-being. However, it has been under-researched in Asian countries. The current work aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Functionality Appreciation Scale (FAS) among four Chinese samples of different ages, and further examine measurement invariance and differences of the FAS across gender and age groups.

Methods
Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses (EFA and CFA) were conducted to examine the factorial structure of the FAS among four Chinese samples of different ages, including middle school adolescents (n = 894, Mage = 12.17 years), high school adolescents (n = 1347, Mage = 15.07 years), young adults (n = 473, Mage = 21.95 years), and older adults (n = 313, Mage = 67.90 years). The measurement invariance of the FAS across gender and age was examined. Internal consistency reliability and construct validity were evaluated.

Results
The FAS had a unidimensional structure and was invariant across gender and age groups. The FAS presented sound psychometric properties in all age groups by gender, with good internal consistency reliability [e.g., high Cronbach’s α values (.91 ~ .97)] and good construct validity (e.g., significant associations with body appreciation, body dissatisfaction, and disordered eating). Moreover, group comparisons showed minimal gender differences in functionality appreciation. However, significant age differences were found in functionality appreciation, with older ages generally associated with higher functionality appreciation.

Conclusion
Overall, findings suggest that the FAS is a sound instrument to be used in the Chinese context. Furthermore, functionality appreciation was found to be higher in older adults than adolescents or young adults, suggesting the potential important role of aging in functionality appreciation.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background
In addition to rescuing injured retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) by stimulating the intrinsic growth ability of damaged RGCs in various retinal/optic neuropathies, increasing evidence has shown that the external microenvironmental factors also play a crucial role in restoring the survival of RGCs by promoting the regrowth of RGC axons, especially inflammatory factors. In this study, we aimed to screen out the underlying inflammatory factor involved in the signaling of staurosporine (STS)-induced axon regeneration and verify its role in the protection of RGCs and the promotion of axon regrowth.

Methods
We performed transcriptome RNA sequencing for STS induction models in vitro and analyzed the differentially expressed genes. After targeting the key gene, we verified the role of the candidate factor in RGC protection and promotion of axon regeneration in vivo with two RGC-injured animal models (optic nerve crush, ONC; retinal N-methyl-D-aspartate, NMDA damage) by using cholera toxin subunit B anterograde axon tracing and specific immunostaining of RGCs.

Results
We found that a series of inflammatory genes expressed upregulated in the signaling of STS-induced axon regrowth and we targeted the candidate CXCL2 gene since the level of the chemokine CXCL2 gene elevated significantly among the top upregulated genes. We further demonstrated that intravitreal injection of rCXCL2 robustly promoted axon regeneration and significantly improved RGC survival in ONC-injured mice in vivo. However, different from its role in ONC model, the intravitreal injection of rCXCL2 was able to simply protect RGCs against NMDA-induced excitotoxicity in mouse retina and maintain the long-distance projection of RGC axons, yet failed to promote significant axon regeneration.

Conclusions
We provide the first in vivo evidence that CXCL2, as an inflammatory factor, is a key regulator in the axon regeneration and neuroprotection of RGCs. Our comparative study may facilitate deciphering the exact molecular mechanisms of RGC axon regeneration and developing high-potency targeted drugs.

Abstract
Background
Artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant advances in recent years, and its applications in psychiatry have gained increasing attention. The use of AI in psychiatry offers the potential to improve patient outcomes and provide valuable insights for healthcare workers. However, the potential benefits of AI in psychiatry are accompanied by several challenges and ethical implications that require consideration. In this review, we explore the use of AI in psychiatry and its applications in monitoring mental illness, treatment, prediction, diagnosis, and deep learning. We discuss the potential benefits of AI in terms of improved patient outcomes, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. However, we also address the challenges and ethical implications associated with the use of AI in psychiatry, including issues of accuracy, privacy, and the risk of perpetuating existing biases in the field.

Results
This is a review article, thus not applicable.

Conclusion
Despite the challenges and ethical implications of using AI in psychiatry, the potential benefits of this technology cannot be ignored. Further research and development are required to address the limitations and ensure the safe and ethical integration of AI in the field of psychiatry. By doing so, AI has the potential to greatly improve patient outcomes and enhance the delivery of mental healthcare services.
Mass balance of generation, retention, and production for the Wolfcamp-sourced hydrocarbon in the Permian Delaware Basin: Insight on remaining recoverable resource and expulsion efficiency
Authors: Baskoro Anindito S. , Yu Alan Z. , Grossman Ethan L. 
Published: June 2023

Detailed quantification of basin-wide hydrocarbon (HC) masses from generation to production is necessary for a quantitative petroleum system analysis, and ultimately, for accurate resource estimation. Such quantified HC masses must be balanced following the fundamental laws of mass conservation. Mass balance is particularly important for unconventional-conventional petroleum systems in which expulsion efficiency (EE) is a critical parameter defining HCs in place, within the source rock (SR) interval and outside. This study performs an HC mass balance assessment aiming primarily to obtain insights on the remaining recoverable and EE, applied to the Wolfcamp Formation (Fm) in the Permian Delaware Basin. Calculated generated HC volumes from the Wolfcamp Fm based on the assumed 3D geologic model and p90/50/10 SR properties are 878/2107/4514 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BBOE). The mass balance is performed with three calculation scenarios: (1) inversion of EE (based on the United States Geological Survey [USGS]-estimated remaining recoverable HC in the Wolfcamp Fm), (2) forward calculation with multiple assumed EE, and (3) HC expulsion simulation. The mass balance with the inversion of EE indicates that the p90/50/10 of 58%/62%/69% overall EE is required for the Wolfcamp Fm to achieve the USGS-estimated remaining recoverable HC of 35/78/140 BBOE. Both mass balance with forward calculation and expulsion simulation predict overall lower p90/50/10 EE of 50% and 30%/56%/75%, respectively, thus resulting in higher than the USGS-estimated remaining recoverable HC in the Wolfcamp Fm in most scenarios. All of the mass balance calculations are also consistent with the interpretation of Wolfcamp unconventional play as a self-sourced play. This workflow is an efficient tool for taking a quantitative look at the petroleum system, especially related to the possibilities of generated HC distribution in the system. The calculated mass balance can serve as a reference in modeling unconventional systems and resources.
The Impact of the Primary Sector on GDP of Greece, An Econometric Approach

Published: June 2023

The agriculture sector has long been one of Greece's most important production sectors. Its significance is multifaceted, affecting both the economy and Greek society. Agriculture plays a critical role in rural development. Although the agricultural sector's involvement in the Greek economy has declined dramatically in recent years, it remains high when compared to other EU member states. This article investigates the relationship between Greece's GDP and the agricultural, industrial, and service sectors from 1996 to 2020, including the financial crisis and the pandemic COVID-19 era. In Greece, there is a negative association between GDP and agriculture, whereas industry and services appear to be positively related to the country's GDP.

The use of the Game Theory Context in the strategic political marketing design. The case of the USA elections.
Authors: Markaki Evangelia , Chadjipadelis Theodore 
Published: June 2023

This study presents a conceptual framework approach that can provide useful information about the political strategy via the rational decision-making process, as well as create an efficient tool for political marketing campaigns. Game theory combines the models of conflict and cooperation for people whose decision-making is considered rational. How can this be implemented in voting behavior, influencing a wide range of issues, relations and behaviors? We consider the political competition as a strategic game, where we have to identify the opposing players, the purpose of the game and its rules. Game theory helps us understand the decision-making process towards strategic issues during political competition. The modeling of the voting behavior can explain the way people form theirs in the challenging environment of the political competition. In the present study we will investigate the way game theory can be involved in American elections, trying at the same time to depict behaviors and political marketing strategies. Using the game theory and the political marketing approach, our study examines the different strategies that politicians used during the last American election of 2016, explaining how their strategy influences the result of the elections. We focus mostly on financial, social and environmental issues, but also on issues about security, immigration and international relations. We measure the intensity of the candidates’ focus on these issues and we present two game theory matrixes as examples base on this innovative concept.

Integrated analysis of genome-wide association studies and 3D epigenomic characteristics reveal the BMP2 gene regulating loin muscle depth in Yorkshire pigs
Authors: Miao Yuanxin , Zhao Yunxia , Wan Siqi , Mei Quanshun , Wang Heng , Fu Chuanke , Li Xinyun , Zhao Shuhong , Xu Xuewen , Xiang Tao 
Published: June 2023

Background
The lack of integrated analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and 3D epigenomics restricts a deep understanding of the genetic mechanisms of meat-related traits. With the application of techniques as ChIP-seq and Hi-C, the annotations of cis-regulatory elements in the pig genome have been established, which offers a new opportunity to elucidate the genetic mechanisms and identify major genetic variants and candidate genes that are significantly associated with important economic traits. Among these traits, loin muscle depth (LMD) is an important one as it impacts the lean meat content. In this study, we integrated cis-regulatory elements and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify candidate genes and genetic variants regulating LMD.

Results
Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located on porcine chromosome 17 were significantly associated with LMD in Yorkshire pigs. A 10 kb quantitative trait locus (QTL) was identified as a candidate functional genomic region through the integration of linkage disequilibrium and linkage analysis (LDLA) and high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) analysis. The BMP2 gene was identified as a candidate gene for LMD based on the integrated results of GWAS, Hi-C meta-analysis, and cis-regulatory element data. The identified QTL region was further verified through target region sequencing. Furthermore, through using dual-luciferase assays and electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA), two SNPs, including SNP rs321846600, located in the enhancer region, and SNP rs1111440035, located in the promoter region, were identified as candidate SNPs that may be functionally related to the LMD.

Conclusions
Based on the results of GWAS, Hi-C, and cis-regulatory elements, the BMP2 gene was identified as an important candidate gene regulating variation in LMD. The SNPs rs321846600 and rs1111440035 were identified as candidate SNPs that are functionally related to the LMD of Yorkshire pigs. Our results shed light on the advantages of integrating GWAS with 3D epigenomics in identifying candidate genes for quantitative traits. This study is a pioneering work for the identification of candidate genes and related genetic variants regulating one key production trait (LMD) in pigs by integrating genome-wide association studies and 3D epigenomics.
Shedding light on Odysseus’ companions
Authors: Paleou Matrona 
Published: June 2023

Seen in the framework of the classical reception, this paper discusses the use of the ancient sources by modern poets highlighting some main aspects of the dialogue between past and present. It focuses on the examination of four poems that present an interesting reworking and appropriation of themes drawn from the Homer’s Odyssey: Ezra Pound’s Canto XX (1928) and Yannis Ritsos’ three selected short poems, included in the collection Testimonies 2 (1966), where myth, history and politics interweave. Although they were written by poets engaged in different ideologies these poems have a key element in common: the focus on Odysseus’ companions instead of Odysseus himself, a choice which reveals both their aesthetic and ideological choices. The way myth is used here brings out the association between aesthetics and politics, thus illustrating the views of the two poets on the position and function of literature in society and their critical intervention in the in the current socio-political developments of their time. The consideration of the poems in the context of Pound’s and Ritsos’ work at this stage of their poetic careers suggests an ideological reading of the myth linked το contemporary concerns, and also confirms the importance and lasting impact of the Homeric epics, providing yet another example of the modernists’ reception of the classical tradition.
