THE RELATION BETWEEN EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANOES IN THE SEA EDGE OF THE SOUTH MIDDLE OF VIETNAM IN THE LAST YEARS
Authors: Thuc Pham Van 
Published: July 2023

Eanhquake and volcano are two phenomenons of one geological process. They have a close relation and both are link with deep tectonic faul zones. From June 2005 up to now a series of eaquakes with magnitude from 2.2 to 4.8 have occurred in the shell zone of South of Central Vietnam. They shook many region of which Ho Chi Minh city. The caution is that: these earthquakes occurred at the same area, where group of active volcanoes are locured. At this area Hon Tro volcano group have empled several times, in 1880 - 1882, 1923 and later in 1928, 1978. The 1923 eruplion was most significant. It was well examined by scientists. The results of research show that the heat flow there is high and reaches 335 mw/m2. The area is situated at the tectonic weak zone, which cross cut by fault of Longitude 1090E and NE-SW tectonic faults. This situation makes the zone sensible for eanhquake and volcano. According to scientific judgments the South of Central Vietnam coastal zone could suffer from earthquakes of magnitudes M=5.5 maximum, intensity of VII. In the future the maximum magnitudes and intensity in this region will not be larger than above level, however volcano like Hon Tro in 1923 can take place.
Development in the Machine Learning Algorithm for the Treatment of Open Boundary Conditions in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics GPU Models
Authors: Verma Deepak 
Published: July 2023

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a powerful computational method used for simulating fluid dynamics and related phenomena. One of the challenges in SPH simulations is the treatment of open boundary conditions, which are common in many real-world scenarios. Traditional approaches to handling open boundaries in SPH models involve the use of artificial boundaries or ghost particles, which can introduce inaccuracies and computational overhead. Significant advancements have been made in the application of machine learning algorithms to address the open boundary condition problem in SPH simulations. This approach leverages the power of modern Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to accelerate the training and deployment of these algorithms. Machine learning algorithms have shown promise in accurately predicting fluid behavior near open boundaries while minimizing computational costs. This presents a comprehensive review of the latest developments in machine learning algorithms for the treatment of open boundary conditions in SPH GPU models. We discuss the key challenges associated with open boundaries in SPH simulations and how machine learning can provide efficient and accurate solutions. Various techniques, including neural networks, convolutional neural networks, and recurrent neural networks, are explored in the context of SPH simulations. We highlight the advantages and limitations of different machine learning approaches and discuss the importance of appropriate training data and optimization strategies. The integration of machine learning algorithms with SPH simulations offers the potential to significantly enhance the accuracy and efficiency of open boundary treatments, enabling more realistic modeling of fluid dynamics in complex scenarios. We present several case studies and benchmarks that demonstrate the effectiveness of machine learning algorithms in improving open boundary conditions in SPH GPU models. We discuss the computational performance gains achieved by leveraging GPU acceleration and provide insights into the potential future directions for further research and development in this field.
Iatrogenic Cushing’s syndrome post intralesional triamcinolone acetonide in Oral submucous fibrosis: 2 case reports
Authors: Choden Kuenga , Gyeltshen Tshewang 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Background:
Oral Submucous Fibrosis is a premalignant condition that is strongly linked to betel quid chewing. It exhibits a significantly higher rate of malignant transformation compared to other premalignant lesions. Fortunately, the use of Intralesional Triamcinolone Acetonide Injection has emerged as a highly effective treatment option and has become the cornerstone of managing this condition. Case Presentation: A 44-year-old female and a 40-year-old male presented with burning sensation and limited mouth opening, leading to a diagnosis of Oral Submucous Fibrosis. Both patients underwent treatment with Triamcinolone Acetonide Intralesional injections. Following a few months of treatment, a significant improvement in mouth opening was observed. However, both patients began experiencing symptoms such as facial rounding (mooning of the face), a buffalo hump, uneven hair growth, and swelling in the lower extremities. Upon recognizing these symptoms as indicative of Cushing's Syndrome, the administration of Triamcinolone Acetonide injections was discontinued. Both patients were referred to a higher-level medical facility for confirmatory tests, which revealed elevated cortisol levels in both morning (Cortisol A.M) and evening (Cortisol P.M).
Conclusion:
Triamcinolone Acetonide has been reported as an effective treatment for OSF. However, it is crucial to closely monitor patients for any adverse effects resulting from the treatment, which may arise from high dosage or increased frequency.

Abstract
Objective Despite numerous studies demonstrating the positive effects of psychological interventions on psychological resilience and quality of life in postoperative breast cancer patients, the specific contribution of perceived social support to these outcomes remains uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the impact of the Managing Cancer and Living Meaningfully (CALM) intervention on these outcomes and explore the potential mediating role of perceived social support.
Methods A total of 124 adult breast cancer patients were randomly assigned to the intervention group (IG, n = 62) or the control group (CG, n = 62). Baseline and three follow-up assessments were conducted to measure psychological resilience, quality of life, anxiety, depression, and perceived social support. Data were analyzed using mixed linear models and structural equation modeling.

Authors: wang hongli , Jia Mingrui 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Background: The loss of hypocretin is thought to be the main pathophysiological mechanism of narcolepsy. There is strong evidence that hypocretin is related to the regulation of endocrine functions and depression. To explore thyroid hormone levels in narcolepsy patients was our aim. In addition, further is to analyze the relationship between thyroid hormone levels and sleep quality, anxiety, and depression in narcolepsy patients.
Methods: There are 40 patients with narcolepsy and 40 healthy controls (HCs) were conducted. Blood samples were explored for thyroid function. Correlation analysis between thyroid hormones and clinical characteristics of narcolepsy was performed using Pearson or Spearman.
Results: Narcolepsy patients had significantly lower free thyroxine (FT4) levels in comparison to controls (p ＜ 0.001). No subject was diagnosed with primary hypothyroidism. There were 4 (10 %) subjects with subclinical hypothyroidism. The serum FT4 levels were positively correlated with HAMA14 score (r = -0.343, p = 0.030) by Pearson correlation analysis. The serum TSH levels and HAMD24 score (r = -0.807 p ˂0.001), and ESS score (r = -0.317, p = 0.046) both showed a negative correction.
Conclusion: Hypocretin deficiency may be associated with the regulation of thyroid hormones in narcolepsy patients. The serum thyroid hormones may affect the severity and neuropsychological functions of narcolepsy patients.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Background
Skin plays an important role in preventing the invasion of disease-causing microorganisms. However, when the skin is damaged, the damaged area is vulnerable to invasion by bacteria and other harmful microorganisms, leading to infection of the wound.
Methods
Here, this paper reported a self-healing, antibacterial, antioxidant multifunctional hydrogel that accelerated healing of infected wounds by releasing curcumin. The internal structure, self-healing, cell compatibility, anti-oxidation, and antibacterial properties of the hydrogel were examined. To assess the healing efficacy of the hydrogel, rat models of tail amputation hemorrhage, liver injury, and skin wound infection were established.
Results
Based on dynamic phenylborate, a multifunctional hydrogel comprising modified quaternary amine chitosan with phenylboric acid was developed. In addition, it was found that the multifunctional hydrogel showed good antioxidant effects on intracellular reactive oxygen species and inhibited the growth of E. coli and S. aureus. Meanwhile, the hydrogel demonstrated self-healing, good biocompatibility, antioxidant, and hemostatic properties. In vivo, the multifunctional hydrogel effectively accelerated the healing of S. aureus-infected skin defects by inhibiting bacteria, suppressing inflammation (down-regulating TNF-α and up-regulating CD206), and promoting angiogenesis (CD31 and α-SMA) and collagen synthesis (Col І).
Conclusion
These results suggest that the developed multifunctional hydrogel dressing provides a beneficial treatment for infected wound healing.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
SiO2 is a promising material for developing high-capacity anodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, degradation behavior of SiO2 anodes upon prolonged electrochemical cycling remains unexplored. In this work, the causes leading to capacity fade on SiO2 anodes are investigated and simple strategies to attenuate anode degradation are explored. Nanostructured SiO2 from diatomaceous earth was integrated into anodes containing different quantities of conductive carbon in the form of either a conductive additive or a nanometric coating layer. Galvanostatic cycling was conducted for 200 cycles and distinctive trends on capacity fade were identified. A thorough analysis of the anodes at selected cycle numbers was performed using a toolset of characterization techniques, including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, FIB-SEM cross-sectional analysis and TEM inspections. Significant fragmentation of SiO2 particles surface and formation of filigree structures upon cycling are reported for the first time. Morphological changes are accompanied by an increase in impedance and a loss of electroactive surface area. Carbon-coating was found to restrict particle fracture and increase capacity retention to 66% compared to 47% for uncoated samples after 200 cycles. Results provide valuable insights to improve cycling stability of SiO2 anodes for next-generation LIBs.

Abstract
The black beans, soybeans, and chickpeas are three of the seeds that make up the top 10 most important grains in the world food industry. Fermentation is an important process that changes the organoleptic and nutritional properties of foods. Fermented foods using strains of Rhizopus spp., and seeds-like based (also known as tempeh) have aroused special interest. The aim of this study was to conduct a comparative analysis of the metabolome of three distinct seeds before and after fermentation with two nonpathogenic funguses (Rhizopus oryzae and Rhizopus stolonifer) using a targeted metabolomic approach. A total of 43 biochemical molecules (12 amino acids and 31 acylcarnitines) were measured in three different seeds fermented by two fungi using mass spectrometer. In the three pulses, the most abundant amino acid was Arg and the most abundant acylcarnitine was C8:1, both of which decreased substantially after 24h exposure to fungi, except for Glma that increases.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Purpose: To investigate long-term changes on lymphoscintigraphy and their association with clinical parameters in patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL).
Methods: This single-center cohort study included patients with BCRL who underwent baseline and follow-up lymphoscintigraphy. The percentage of excessive circumference (PEC) of the affected upper limb compared with the unaffected side was used as an indicator of the clinical severity of BCRL. Each 99mTc-phytate lymphoscintigraphy image was categorized into 0‒6 stages according to the Taiwan lymphoscintigraphy staging system. Clinical parameters including PEC and the lymphoscintigraphy stage at baseline and follow-up were compared and analyzed.
Results: Eighty-seven patients were included. Baseline and follow-up lymphoscintigraphies were performed at a median 7 (interquartile range [IQR]: 2‒14) and 78 (IQR: 49‒116) months after surgery, respectively. Both lymphoscintigraphy stage and PEC showed variable change during the study period, with overall increases in their severity (median PEC: 3.8–13.4%; median lymphoscintigraphy stage: 1 to 4). PEC and lymphoscintigraphy stage showed positive correlations at baseline (rho = 0.27, P=0.001) and follow-up (rho = 0.50, P<0.001). Stepwise multivariable analysis revealed cellulitis (adjusted β: 4.34; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.77‒7.91) and lymphoscintigraphy stage at follow-up (adjusted β: 1.47; 95% CI: 0.67‒2.28) to be independent variables for PEC at follow-up.
Conclusion: The clinical courses of BCRL and patients’ lymphoscintigraphy patterns showed diverse changes over long-term follow-up. In addition to initial lymphoscintigraphy for diagnosis, follow-up lymphoscintigraphy can be useful to visualize functional changes in the lymphatic system that may help to guide the optimal management plan in BCRL.

Abstract
Polyphenols are the main anti-fatigue component of Phyllanthus emblica (PE). However, polyphenols are so easy to transform that it is unknown that how drying and extraction methods driven by heating affect the anti-fatigue effect of PE. This manuscript investigated the effects of five drying methods on the chemical composition transformation and anti-fatigue of PE, and discussed the action mechanism. The results suggested that the anti-fatigue effect of PE with hot-air-dried at 100 ℃ was the best, which was as 1.63 times as that with freeze-drying. Ellagic acid (EA) may be a key component of PE in anti-fatigue, and its mechanism of action may be related to regulating intestinal microbiota, promoting the conversion of EA to urolithin A in vivo, protecting mitochondria, and regulating energy metabolism. This study first revealed the thermal transformation of polyphenols in PE, found the most effective strategy for enhancing the anti-fatigue function, and explores its action mechanism.

Abstract
Background
Interprofessional education (IPE) is expected to help prepare undergraduate health profession students to collaborate with other healthcare professionals in realising quality of care. Studies stress the necessity of students’ readiness for interprofessional learning (IPL) in view of designing IPE programs. The present study aims to determine students' IPL-readiness and looks at related differences in students enrolled in different programs and at different phases in their educational program.
Methods
A cross-sectional survey study was set up among 1139 students from six health programs at HueUMP, using the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS). Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskal-Wallis H and Mann-Whitney U tests.
Results
The overall mean RIPLS score was 68,89. RIPLS scores significantly differed between programs and between phases in the educational programs. Medical students presented a lower readiness level for IPL than students from other programs. In contrast to a significant increase in RIPLS scores of students in the clinical phase in Vietnamese traditional medicine, medicine, and pharmacy, a decrease in RIPLS scores was observed in students in the clinical phase in odonto-stomatology.
Conclusions
The differences could be related to differences in educational programs and the study phases in a particular program. These results offer insights to direct the design and implementation of IPE in health education curricula and especially underscore the need to provide IPE throughout the curriculum.

Published: July 2023

Abstract

Oxidation of cyclopentanone (CPO) was studied over metal-free carbon catalysts in solvent-free conditions. Two pristine carbons were used: activated carbon Norit SX plus (total BET surface area 900 m2 g-1, external surface area about 350 m2 g-1) and carbon black Vulcan XC72 (total BET surface area 250 m2 g-1). Catalysts were prepared by activation in nitrogen and by treatment with urea and calcined in nitrogen at 500 °C and 950 °C. Catalysts were characterised in terms of textural properties (size of particles, X-ray powder diffraction, specific surface, microporosity, distribution of pores), acid-base properties (the average pH of the suspension, Boehm titration), surface functional groups (FTIR), and surface composition (XPS). A small content of nitrogen was found on the surface of all the catalysts, whereas the highest value was for the Vulcan catalyst activated with urea and calcined at 500 °C. Oxidation tests, carried out with pure CPO at 0.45 MPa in temperature range 80 – 110 °C allowed to choose the 90 °C and the catalyst activated with urea as the best one for recycling. At about 25 % conversion, the selectivity of ca. 30 mol % to glutaric acid and ca. 3 mol % to succinic acid were achieved. An interesting finding was that Norit based catalysts despite their higher specific surface area than Vulcan based catalysts were less active, provided lower selectivity and were much prone to deactivation. According to our hypothesis a higher concentration of active sites immediately after the start of the oxidation reaction accelerates the reaction rate. Due to exothermicity more reaction heat is evolved and the surface temperature of catalyst is increased. A higher temperature on the surface enhances side reactions, which yield in heavier products sticking on the surface and deactivates the catalyst.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Background
Initiation of antenatal care during the first trimester is crucial for reducing maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, only 24% of pregnant women in Malawi initiate antenatal care during this time with even lower rates of 15% at Area 25 Health Centre in Lilongwe. Despite such cases, there is scarce literature on obstacles that prevent women from accessing first-trimester antenatal care in Malawi.
Aim
To explore perceptions of pregnant women and how they influence attendance during the first-trimester at Area 25 Health Centre in Lilongwe, Malawi.
Methods
We employed a qualitative exploratory study on 55 purposely identified pregnant women, aged between 18 and 42 years with gestational period of up to 36 weeks who were attending antenatal care at Area 25 Health Centre in Lilongwe urban, Malawi. Data was collected through a total of 15 In-depth Interviews (IDIs) and four Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and were manually analyzed using thematic analysis, which included categorization and deductive theme identification with reference to the study objectives and the Health Belief Model (HBM).
Results
Pregnant women perceived that the first-trimester antenatal care visits are only for those experiencing ill health conditions like backache, headache, and HIV/AIDS during pregnancy. First trimester pregnancy was perceived as too small not worthy of seeking antenatal care, the women placed a low value on it. Majority of those who initiated antenatal care in the first trimester had previously experienced disorders and complications such as previous caesarean section and abortions. In addition to limited knowledge about the required total number of ANC visit, challenges such as long-distance, preoccupation with business, multiple antenatal visits, scheduling of antenatal care visits, negative attitude of health workers, adherence to COVID-19 containment measures, and inadequate partner support were identified as barriers to seeking early antenatal care.
Conclusion
Negative perceptions among pregnant women, coupled with various economic and infrastructure barriers, attribute to low attendance rates for first trimester antenatal care in Malawi. Addressing knowledge gaps and overcoming barriers related to economic, infrastructure and health care delivery can improve women’s early antenatal care visits. Future research should consider including pregnant women from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds to gain a better understanding of these perceptions and barriers.
