Diagnosis of bilateral pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas by right heart contrast-enhanced ultrasonography combined with transthoracic high-frequency ultrasonography: a rare case report
Authors: Zhang Xiaofeng , Cai Yongzhi , Huang Tongtong , Wu Ji 
Published: March 2022

Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) is a rare clinical disorder
characterized anatomically by an abnormal right-to-left shunt (RLS) at
the pulmonary vascular level. RLS was detected by
right-heart contrast echocardiography (RHCE), and a large number of
contrast microbubbles were detected entering the left atrium and
ventricle from the left and right pulmonary veins, Intuitively prompt
bilateral pulmonary arteriovenous fistula. Computed tomography
angiography confirmed the diagnosis. We report a case of a patient with
PAVF complicated with pulmonary hypertension, RHCE with high-frequency
transthoracic ultrasound showed the typical signs of pulmonary
arteriovenous fistula. We used this method for the first time to
diagnose pulmonary arteriovenous fistula.

Objectives: Pulmonary artery pressure measurement is key to verifying
the success of a rat model of pulmonary hypertension(PH). Herein, a
novel method for measuring pulmonary artery pressure through
high-frequency ultrasound-guided transthoracic puncture was demonstrated
in rats. The efficacy and time of this novel method were also discussed.
Methods: A single subcutaneous injection of monocrotaline was
used to establish a rat model of PH. The tip of that puncture cannula
was maintained at a certain angle after the needle core was removed
through heat shaping method. In the short-axis section of the
parasternal aorta, in-plane real-time guided trocar puncture of the
right ventricular outflow tract was performed. The external pressure
sensor was used to record the real-time waveform, right ventricular
systolic pressure, pulmonary artery systolic pressure, and diastolic
pressure. Results: The success rates of using this novel method
in the model group and the control group were 88.5% and 86.7%,
respectively, and the puncture pressure measurement times were 164 ± 31s
and 235 ± 50s, respectively. The model group’s right ventricular
systolic blood pressure, pulmonary systolic blood pressure, and
diastolic blood pressure were higher than those of the control group.
Conclusions: The modified method for trocar is helpful for
accurately positioning pulmonary artery manometry. The method described
in this paper has a high success rate and short operation time. It has a
broad application prospect in verifying rat PH model and pulmonary
artery pressure monitoring.

In this study, the low‑grade pineapple and lime key from Sob Prab Cooperative Limited, Lampang, Thailand were selected to investigate the anti‑ageing activities. The pineapple (PA‑J) and lime key juices (LM‑J) were squeezed and then the pineapple and lime key residues were extracted by maceration in 95% (v/v) ethanol (PA‑E and LM‑E) and boiled in distilled water (PA‑W and LM‑W). The extraction yields from all extracts ranged from 14.58 to 23.01, with the presence of terpenoids as a phytochemical. For anti-ageing activities of all extracts, it was found that the LM-J extract showed the highest antioxidant activity including free radical scavenging, metal chelation and lipid peroxidation activities, whereas the PA‑E extract exhibited the whitening effect including tyrosinase inhibition activity and anti-melanogenesis on B16F10 cells, and the stimulation of collagen biosynthesis on human dermal fibroblasts. In addition, all extracts did not show cytotoxicity on human dermal fibroblasts at 0.1 mg mL-1. This study suggested that the PA‑E and the LM extracts might be beneficial to be an active ingredient for anti-ageing cosmetics.
The Why and the How of Renewal in Philosophy of Religion
Authors: Draper Paul , Schellenberg John L. 
Published: March 2022

Recently, we co-edited a volume of essays (Draper & Schellenberg 2017) dedicated to the proposition that our field, the philosophy of religion, is not all that it could be. The new set of essays we’re joining here shows that this sentiment is, at the least, not going away. That’s encouraging, but how can we get beyond sentiment? In this our own essay we hope to do so by focusing very precisely and persuasively on problems and solutions: on why our field needs renewal and how to achieve it. More specifically, we hope to get every reader to recognize and accept at least one problem from the range of problems in the field as it exists today that we propose to identify, and to select for special thought and supportive effort at least one solution from the range of solutions we’ll be promoting. Let’s adjust that slightly: one extra problem and one extra solution – for we’re going to start by setting the right mood with some thoughts about a very basic problem/solution pair that we should all be able to recognize/support.

Effects of a single dose of orally administered gabapentin in dogs during a veterinary visit: a double-blinded, placebo-controlled study
Authors: Stollar Ori O. , Moore George E. , Mukhopadhyay Abhijit , Gwin Wilson , Ogata Niwako 
Published: March 2022

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effects of a single dose of orally administered gabapentin in alleviating stress at a veterinary visit in privately owned dogs.

Animals
22 healthy client-owned dogs (1.5 to 8.5 years old) were enrolled in this study.

PROCEDURES
Each dog received a 50-mg/kg oral dose of either gabapentin or placebo 2 hours before the beginning of each visit protocol. The dog’s behavioral responses were coded from recorded video clips during a 5-minute-long standardized physical examination and pre– and post–physical examination phases. The veterinary technician separately rated each greeting behavior at each visit. Physiological variables during veterinary visits (ie, eye surface temperature and salivary cortisol concentrations) were also compared between the pre– and post–physical examination phases. The owner was queried 24 hours after a visit to determine the incidence of adverse events.

RESULTS
The greeting test score, eye surface temperature, and cortisol concentrations did not differ substantially between the gabapentin and placebo treatment groups. Lip licking frequency during the physical examination phase was significantly lower in the gabapentin treatment group than in the placebo group (P = 0.001). Lip licking frequency during the pre– and post–physical examination phases was also significantly lower in the gabapentin treatment group than in the placebo treatment group (P = 0.004). No serious adverse events were reported by the owners following gabapentin treatment.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Results showed that the 50-mg/kg dose of gabapentin was well tolerated without serious adverse effects in healthy dogs. Further studies are recommended of dogs with documented stress in response to a veterinary visit.
Sealing peri-cuff leak of a small endotracheal tube passing through laryngeal web in five dogs (2015–2019)

Published: March 2022

Abstract

CASE DESCRIPTION
5 dogs with a history of ventriculocordectomy were anesthetized with isoflurane for ovariohysterectomy, dental prophylaxis, or intracapsular lens extraction.

CLINICAL FINDINGS
No remarkable, abnormal clinical signs such as exercise intolerance, respiratory distress, or stridor were found in 4 dogs. However, 1 dog had cough after drinking, which had started after the ventriculocordectomy. During intubation, laryngeal web, suspected to be a complication of ventriculocordectomy, was accidentally discovered.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME
Laryngeal web was observed during intubation, necessitating the use of a smaller-diameter endotracheal tube (ETT) for intubation. However, the smaller cuff volume of the smaller ETT did not prevent the air leak. Therefore, the ETT with the inflated cuff was pulled cranially until the narrowed laryngeal lumen was plugged with the cuff behind the vocal cords. The ETT was secured to prevent slippage. No air leakage around the ETT cuff or complications related to the ETT placement were observed in the peri-anesthetic period in any dog.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Laryngeal web can be found in patients with a history of larynx-related surgeries and may allow only a small-diameter ETT to pass through. The sealing technique used for peri-cuff air leak using a small ETT described here that can pass through a laryngeal web could be useful to seal an air leak around the cuff without complications.
Microclimatic factors in urban development: The setup of an environmental observatory at the FAD STU
Authors: Hubinský Tomáš , Legény Ján 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The presented research focuses on energy (im)balance on both global and local scale. The main emphasis is placed on microclimatic factors directly affecting public urban spaces and related physical processes regarding the city that are closely linked to energy flows and result in the formation of Urban Heat Islands (UHIs). As they are one of the main adverse effects of human activities, the paper introduces the classification of UHIs by types, describes the basic differences between the surface energy balance of rural and urban areas, and introduces climate-sensitive urban design as one of the possible ways of mitigating the undesirable anthropogenic impact on the climate change. The authors of the article present their own research, which predominantly focuses on the development of an environmental observatory situated on the rooftop of the building of the Faculty of Architecture and Design STU in Bratislava (hereafter referred to as the FAD STU). They interpret the experimental operation of sensing probe 1 and the first results and measurement data on Global Horizontal Solar Irradiation (GHSI) and their post-processing. In addition, they describe the construction of sensing probe 2, which will provide more data on the total atmospheric precipitation, wind speed and its direction, presence of dust particles and carbon dioxide in the air, or spectral characteristics of incident and reflected solar radiation. Finally, the experimental operation of a thermal and micro- camera with fisheye lenses is described. These cameras are essential for measuring the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as one of the parameters used for the assessment of vegetation vitality, which also plays a key role in the formation of the UHI effect.
Basalt fibre continuous reinforcement composite pavement reinforcement design based on finite element model
Authors: Luo Yuhu , Hasan Hafnida 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The thrust of basalt fibre (BFRP) tendons will result in narrower transverse crack spacing, decreased load transfer capacity of transverse cracks and voids at the bottom of the slab, which will lead to thrust failure. The thesis uses the finite element analysis method to analyse the material characteristics of BFRP tendons. At the same time, the article determines the critical load position corresponding to the tensile stress of concrete and BFRP tendons, and analyses the influence of voids, crack spacing and other factors on the load stress of concrete and BFRP tendons. The study results found that continuously reinforced concrete and asphalt overlay composite design can reduce cracks.

Abstract
This study evaluated the chemical composition of two maize varieties at different levels of green manure application. The bucket experiment was laid in 2 × 3 factorial arrangement comprising two maize varieties (Oba super 2 and Suwan I) and three green manure application levels (0, 6.3 and 12.6 t/ha). The results showed that Oba super 2 had a lower (p < 0.05) Crude Protein (CP) (8.91 %) content, but had a higher (p < 0.05) ether extract (8.83 %) and ash (9.83 %) contents as compared to Suwan I. Maize fertilised with 6.3 t/ha of green manure had the highest CP (10.13 %) and ash (9.96 %) contents. Interaction effect of variety and level of green manure application showed that the least CP content (7.61 %) was recorded for unfertilised Oba Super 2 maize, whereas the highest CP content (10.21 %) was recorded for Suwan I maize fertilised with 12.6 t/ha of green manure. There were no significant (p > 0.05) differences in the Neutral Detergent Fibre (NDF), Acid Detergent Lignin (ADL), hemicellulose and cellulose contents of the two maize varieties evaluated. However, the Acid Detergent Fibre (ADF) content was significantly (p < 0.05) higher (32.33 %) in Oba Super 2 variety. The rising amounts of green manure applied significantly (p < 0.05) increased both the NDF and ADF. There was no consistent variation in the NDF content as influenced by interaction of both factors with the highest (60.67 %) NDF content recorded for unfertilised Oba Super 2 maize. Calcium, potassium and phosphorus contents declined with the increasing amount of green manure added. Our results show that the green manure application improved the nutritional qualities of the planted maize and should be used in practice.

Measuring Inflation under Pandemic Conditions
Authors: Diewert W. Erwin , Fox Kevin J. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
National statistical offices have faced unprecedented circumstances in the modern history of economic measurement. There were dramatically changing consumer expenditure patterns due to pandemic conditions, with lockdowns and fear of infection making many goods and services unavailable. We examine the implications of changing relative expenditures for the construction of Consumer Price Indexes, with special reference to the treatment of prices for unavailable products. We conclude that for many purposes, it would be useful for statistical agencies to establish a continuous consumer expenditure survey. We also examine various other practical pandemic induced CPI measurement problems.
Price Index Numbers under Large-Scale Demand Shocks–The Japanese Experience of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Abe Naohito , Inoue Toshikatsu , Sato Hideyasu 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
We investigate the prices and quantities of face masks when the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic was particularly serious to understand the impact of demand shocks on the cost of living index (COLI). Using a recently developed index number formula that is exact for the constant elasticity of substitution utility function with variable preferences, we quantified the degree of demand shock caused by the pandemic. Our empirical analysis revealed that shifts in preferences during the pandemic were so large that the COLI with variable tastes became very different from the standard superlative indexes. While the prices of face masks decreased in the Fisher index in May 2020 by 0.76% per week, the COLI increased by 1.92% per week.
Dysregulation of miR-144-5p/RNF187 axis contributes to the progression of colorectal cancer
Authors: Gao Zhuo , Jiang Junnan , Hou Lijian , Zhang Bin 
Published: March 2022

Abstract

Background and Objectives
RING finger protein 187 (RNF187) belongs to RING domain-containing E3 ligases family, which was recently reported to be involved in oncogenesis and development of several cancers. This research aims to clarify the role of RNF187 in colorectal cancer (CRC) development.

Methods
The expression of RNF187 and miR-144-4p were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The levels of RNF187 protein were assessed by western blot analysis. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assay, clonogenic assay, cell scratch test and transwell assay were used to determine the proliferation, migration and invasion of CRC cells in vitro. The binding of miR-144-5p and RNF197 mRNA was validated by luciferase reporter assays. Tumor-bearing nude mice were used to determine CRC cells growth in vivo.

Results
RNF187 expression significantly increased in CRC specimens and cell lines compared to normal colon tissues and normal colonic mucosa cell line, respectively. Upregulation of RNF187 expression was inversely correlated to poor prognosis in CRC patients. In addition, knockdown of RNF187 expression inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion but promoted the apoptosis of CRC lines Caco-2 and SW480 cells. Further studies validated that RNF187 was the direct target of miR-144-5p. The expression of miR-144-5p was downregulated in CRC tissues, which was negatively correlated to the expression of RNF187. Restoration of miR-144-5p significantly inhibited the progression of CRC cells and its anti-tumor effects could be abrogated by overexpression of RNF187.

Conclusion
Our findings demonstrate the deregulation of miR-144-5p/ RNF187 axis in CRC, as well as its role in regulation of the tumor progression, thus providing a novel therapeutic strategy for CRC treatment.
