Fruits of meadowsweet [<i>Filipendula ulmaria</i> (L.) Maxim.] and dropwort (<i>Filipendula hexapetala</i> Gilib.): comparative morphogical and anatomical investigation
Authors: Sazanova Ksenia N. , Sharipova Safia Kh. 
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND: Meadowsweet [Filipendula ulmaria (L.) Maxim.], is the representative of flora of the European parts of Russia. It is widespread in Samara Region. The flowers of the meadowsweet are the pharmacopoeial type of raw materials, but the fruits of this plant are not used in medicine. The fruits of the meadowsweet and its closely related type of the dropwort are the promising source of biologically active compounds of phenolic and sterol nature. Introduction of new types of medical plant raw materials into official medical practice requires the development of regulatory documentation, including morphological and anatomical diagnostics of types.
AIM: The purpose of this work was to study and compare morphological and anatomical features of the structure of meadowsweet fruits and dropwort.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The material of the study was the dry fruits of the meadowsweet and dropwort, collected in June-July 2019 in Samara Region. The research was carried out by means of light microscopy in transmitted and reflected light in a light field.
RESULTS: Morphological and anatomical characteristics of the fruits of two types of meadowsweet were revealed. They hadnt been described in the literature before. So the fruits of the meadowsweet have the following diagnostic features: the stele of the pedicels is of transitional type, lysigenic receptacles located in them are uneven, pubescence of the epidermis occurs due to simple unicellular trichomes; they also have the three-layer structure of the pericarp, a significant quantity of single crystals in the parenchyma of the parmelia, the cone-shaped form of the conducting bundle in the parmelia seam. The fruits of the dropwort are characterised by retort-shaped hairs that make up the thick pubescence of the multiple fruits, peculiar conducting system of the parmelia in the form of one large collateral bundle of the cone-shaped form, located on the side of the seam.
CONCLUSIONS: The obtained results allow to develop the chapter Microscopic signs as a part of the pharmacopoeial monograph devoted to a new perspective medicinal plant raw materials of Fruits of the meadowsweet and Fruits of the dropwort.
Low-light Instrument Image Enhancement Method Based on Illumination Estimation
Authors: Jin Aiping 
Published: April 2022

The captured low-light instrument images suffer from poor visibility caused by low brightness, blurry details, and noise. These images need to be pre-processed to get high-quality images. Low-light image enhancement isabout improving the visibility of the low-light image. Previous image enhancement approaches have improvedthe quality of the low-light image and achieved some results. However, these methods suffer from the problemof heavy computational burden, and the enhanced images have a noise that shows poor visually pleasing results. In this paper, we present a low-light instrument image enhancement approach based on illuminationestimation to solve these problems simultaneously. YOLOv4 is used to detect the instrument image, which can reduce time consumption. The detection section is cropped as the input image for enhancing an image.The illumination of each pixel is estimated by finding the maximum value in RGB channels. Moreover, adesigned optimization function and Gamma correction are employed to optimize the illumination image as thefinal illumination image. Finally, a bilateral filter is introduced to remove noise. Experiments on the low-lightinstrument image are present to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and its superiority overthe state-of-the-art methods.

Teologi Kesetiaan Allah Berdasarkan Kitab Yosua
Authors: Zega Fati Aro 
Published: April 2022

Looking at the current number of Christian life, especially the pandemic that is endemic. So the issue of loyalty becomes a new concern. Is the doctrine of faithfulness still firmly engraved as before, or has there been disturbance or disruption of the faithful's loyalty to their beliefs or loyalty to service, especially loyalty to God. The author describes God's faithfulness in the context of the book of Joshua as a concern for today's believers. By using descriptive qualitative method, in a literature study approach, it can be concluded that the problem in the book of Joshua is not a prophetic book. This book is more historical. But this Book has important theological value both for Israel and for the Church. The inheritance of the Land of Canaan is not only a theological and literal issue for Israel in the past and present, but also a symbolic issue for the Church futurist. The region of Canaanite heredity became a symbol of Christian hope, both spiritually and eschatologically. Thus this paper explains that the Lord God who is worshiped in the name of Jesus Christ is faithful. God is faithful in overcoming every situation and condition of His people no matter how difficult it is. AbstrakMelihat banyaknya kehidupan kekristenan saat ini terlebih adanya pandemi yang mewabah. Maka persoalan terhadap kesetiaan menjadi keprihatinan baru. Apakah ajaran tentang kesetiaan masih kokoh terpatri seperti semula, atau sudah mulai terjadi gangguan atau mendisrupsi kesetian orang beriman terhadap keyakinannya atau kesetiaan kepada pelayanan, utamanya kesetiaan kepada Tuhan. Penulis mendeskripsikan kesetiaan Allah dalam kontek kitab Yosua menjadi perhatian bagi orang percaya masa kini. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif deskrtip, dalam pendekataan studi literature dapat disimpulkan bahwa persoalan di Kitab Yosua bukanlah kitab kenabian. Kitab ini lebih bersifat sejarah. Namun Kitab ini memiliki nilai teologi yang penting baik untuk Israel maupun untuk Gereja. Pewarisan Tanah Kanaan bukan hanya merupakan isu teologis dan literal bagi Israel pada masa lalu dan kini, tetapi juga isu simbolis bagi Gereja secara futuris. Wilayah hereditas Kanaan menjadi suatu lambang pengharapan Kristen, baik secara rohaniah maupun eskatologikal. Dengan demikian tulisan ini menjelaskan bahwa Tuhan Allah yang disembah di dalam nama Yesus Kristus adalah setia. Tuhan setia mengatasi setiap situasi dan kondisi umat-Nya sesulit apa pun.

Green and Sustainable Chemical Looping Plasma Process for Ammonia and Hydrogen Production
Authors: Sarafraz Mohsen , Christo Farid , Rolfe Bernard 
Published: April 2022

The overarching aim of this chapter is to propose a novel clean thermochemical process that harnesses thermal plasma technology to co-produce hydrogen and ammonia using a chemical looping process. The thermodynamic potential and feasibility of the process were demonstrated using a simulation of the system with aluminium and aluminium oxide as the oxygen and nitrogen carriers between the reactors. The effect of different operating parameters, such as feed ratio and temperature of the reactor, on the energetic performance of the process was investigated. Results showed that the nitridation and ammoniation reactors could operate at <1000 K, while the thermal plasma reactor could operate at much higher temperatures such as (> 6273 K) to reduce the alumina oxide to aluminium. The ratio of steam to aluminium nitride was identified as the key operating parameter for controlling the ammoniation reactor. Using a heat recovery unit, the extracted heat from the products was utilised to generate auxiliary steam for a combined cycle aiming at generating electricity for a thermal plasma reactor. It was demonstrated that the process can operate at an approximate self-sustaining factor ∼ 0.11, and an exergy partitioning fraction of up to 0.65. Integrating the process with solar photovoltaic showed a solar share of ∼32% without considering any battery storage units.
Prehospital and Emergency Room Airway Management in Traumatic Brain Injury
Authors: A. Jakob Dominik , Pitteloud Jean-Cyrille , Demetriades Demetrios 
Published: April 2022

Airway management in trauma is critical and may impact patient outcomes. Particularly in traumatic brain injury (TBI), depressed level of consciousness may be associated with compromised protective airway reflexes or apnea, which can increase the risk of aspiration or result in hypoxemia and worsen the secondary brain damage. Therefore, patients with TBI and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) ≤ 8 have been traditionally managed by prehospital or emergency room (ER) endotracheal intubation. However, recent evidence challenged this practice and even suggested that routine intubation may be harmful. This chapter will address the indications and optimal method of securing the airway, prehospital and in the ER, in patients with traumatic brain injury.

Published: April 2022

In this study, the new genus Spanglerelmis Polizei & Bispo is described; Microcylloepus ochus Hinton, 1940 is synonymized with Microcylloepus femoralis Hinton, 1940, and transferred to the new genus; and two new species, S. xiririca gen. et sp. nov. and S. timburi gen. et sp. nov. are described. The new genus can be characterized by the combination of the following characters: 1) pronotum without transverse, longitudinal or oblique impressions, sulci or gibbosities on disc; 2) elytra with a carina on interval III and two sublateral carinae on intervals V and VI; 3) mesoventrite with sides strongly raised; and 4) femora with an oblique belt of tomentum dorsally and a transverse belt ventrally. The specimens of the two new species were collected mainly in riffles of unimpacted streams in the Atlantic Forest in São Paulo State, Brazil. Scanning electron microscope images, an identification key for the genus and habitat notes are also presented.

Published: April 2022

Background: Diabetic nephropathy caused by complication of diabetes mellitus and frequently increasing in the developed countries. It may be characterized by dyslipidaemia and deranged haematological indices that play a role in the development of late complications of diabetes. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop strategies to diagnose the patients of diabetic nephropathy during its acute phase.
Objective: To determine the haematological indices and the lipid profiles in diabetic nephropathy in comparison with diabetic controls
Methodology: The present study was performed on total of 300 patients where 150 DN patients and 150 control with age range from 30-50 years. The haematological profile was done via ABX Micros 60 haematology analyser, analysis of lipids, fats and fatty substances lipid panel was also performed in both groups. Statistical analysis was done with SPSS through t-test where p≥ 0.05.
Results: Current data indicated that the level of Haemoglobin A1c, Prothrombin time, White blood cells, platelet count, Low density lipoproteins and triglyceride is raised while significant reductions in red blood cell count and high-density lipoprotein levels have been noted in patients with diabetic nephropathy compared to diabetics.
Conclusion: Our research indicates that both haematological and lipid profiles are highly disturbed in DN patients which may serve as a hallmark for early diagnosis of nephropathy in diabetics.
L‐Asparaginase Release from Escherichia coli Cells with K2HPO4 and Triton X100
Authors: Zhao Fengsheng , Yu Jiaye 
Published: July 2002

AbstractA method to release L‐asparaginase (EC 3.5.1.1) from ATCC Escherichia coli 11303 cells by chemical permeabilization was studied. It was found that a combination of K2HPO4 and Triton X100 was effective. The influences of K2HPO4 concentration, Triton concentration, E. coli cell concentration and pH on the release of enzyme and proteins were investigated in detail. Experimental results showed that 12.5% (w/v) K2HPO4, 2% (w/v) Triton X100 and 3 × 108 cells/mL made the amount of enzyme released over 70%. L‐Asparaginase in K2HPO4 and Triton solution could remain stable at least for 24 h. The release effect of K2HPO4 and Triton X100 used simultaneously was better than that of K2HPO4 and Triton X100 used separately in succession. Electron microscopy indicated that the chemical treatment altered the surface structure of E. coli cells but did not break them. As the method does not produce a large amount of cell fragments and the amount of enzyme released is relatively high, it can be thought to be an valuable and economic method to release intracellular enzyme.

Published: July 2002

AbstractThis is the first report describing the purification of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) from four genotypes of the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae, the most important pest of olives in the Mediterranean region. The purified enzyme shows a single band after SDS‐PAGE analysis, corresponding to subunit mass of 26 kDa. The native ADH shows a molecular mass of 48 kDa, after gel filtration HPLC analysis. The purification method incorporated a preliminary ammonium sulphate precipitation step, followed by an anion‐exchange DEAE chromatography step, a dye affinity chromatography step on Cibacron blue 3GA, and an anion‐exchange DEAE chromatography step employing the same column of the first step. The present method offers good overall recovery (40%) and high enzyme purity, and it is applicable to different genotypes. Furthermore, the method is rapid and economical, as it employs two cheap, widely used, and commercially available chromatography materials.
Acantholytic dyskeratotic epidermal nevus: a rare histopathologic feature
Authors: Mazereeuw‐Hautier J. , Thibaut I. , Bonafé J. L. 
Published: July 2002

Background: Epidermal nevus is a congenital malformation of the epidermis consisting of verrucoid scaly plaques on the skin, often in a linear fashion. Different histologic features have been seen and, at times, acantholytic dyskeratosis has been observed. We report a new case of acantholytic dyskeratotic epidermal nevus.Case report: A 3‐year‐old girl presented, since birth, asymptomatic keratotic scaly lesions on the left hemithorax and left arm that followed Blaschko's lines.Histology: Biopsies revealed acanthosis, papillomatosis, hyperkeratosis and focal areas of suprabasal clefting with acantholysis, as well as individual dyskeratotic cells (corps ronds et grains) in the upper layers of the epidermis. In the literature, this histologic feature has been reported twice. Generalized or localized Darier's disease are well‐established clinical entities with characteristic histologic features of acantholytic dyskeratosis. Because of the linear clinical appearance and the onset at birth or early chilhood, the lesions should be regarded as epidermal nevi and not linear Darier's disease.Conclusion: We report here an additional case of dyskeratotic epidermal nevus, which is a rare histopathologic feature.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of eradicating Helicobacter pylori on the development and reversion of atrophic gastritis in an animal study. METHODS: One hundred and ten grade II C57BL/6 female mice were randomly divided into experimental (60 mice) and control (50 mice) groups. The mice in the experimental group were infected with the SS1 H. pylori strain, then randomly subdivided into group A and group B (30 mice in each group). Group A and group B received a dose of standard bismuth triple therapy 6 and 12 months after infection, respectively. Ten mice in each group were killed before the therapy, then at 3 and 6 months after completion of the therapy (a total of 30 mice). The histopathological features of the glandular stomach were graded using a method analogous to the Sydney system and kinetic changes in the mucosal epithelial cells of the glandular stomach were examined using anti‐BrdU immunohistochemical staining and flow cytometry. RESULTS: All mice that received eradication therapy tested negative for Helicobacter pylori. Significant improvement in chronic active gastritis was observed after the eradication of H. pylori in both groups A and B. Atrophic changes were not seen at any time interval in group A, whereas in group B, atrophic changes were seen 12 months after H. pylori infection and no significant changes in the degree of atrophy were observed 3 and 6 months after the eradication of H. pylori. The cell kinetic indices (S‐phase cell percentage, proliferation index and labeling index) in the experimental group before the eradication of H. pylori were significantly higher than those in the control group at any time (P < 0.01), and significantly decreased 3 months after the eradication of H. pylori compared with those before therapy (P < 0.01). The cell kinetic indices showed no significant difference 6 months after the eradication of H. pylori compared with those in the control group at the same time intervals (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The present study suggests that the eradication of H. pylori can reduce gastric mucosal inflammation and change the epithelial cell kinetics of the stomach. It was found that early treatment can prevent the formation of mucosal atrophy. When atrophy has established, eradication of H. pylori can no longer reverse the change but may prevent its progress.
