Authors: Kanyukova Iryna , Sidorovska Evgeniya 
Published: October 2022

The purpose of the article is to identify the features of etiquette as a specific reflection of the inherent ethnicity of the worldview, worldview and ideas through the prism of the phenomenon of mentality. Research methodology. The systematic method and the concrete-historical method of research were applied, which helped to clarify the relationship between the national mentality, etiquette and culture of communication; historical and descriptive methods; structural-semantic method necessary to identify the structure of national etiquette; method of comparative analysis of mentality and national and cultural features of etiquette. Scientific novelty. The national and cultural features of verbal and nonverbal etiquette in the context of the specifics of the phenomenon of mentality are studied; national etiquette is considered through the prism of cultural background as a specific reflection of the worldview, worldview and ideas inherent in a particular ethnic group; the main characteristics of the mentality of Ukrainians, British and Chinese, which explain the specifics of etiquette, are analyzed. Conclusions. The study found that etiquette is an essential element of the national culture of the people, reflecting its national and cultural specifics and lifestyle features. By means of certain stereotypes, verbal and nonverbal elements, etiquette reflects the worldview of the people and their worldview, the surrounding reality and the value essence of the picture of the world. Etiquette from generation to generation reproduces the cultural and national specifics and customs of the people, is a unique tool for translating the mental background and reflects the uniqueness of national features of philosophical and ideological vision, ethnopsychology, material and spiritual culture of society. It is stated that etiquette is one of the main carriers of ethnocultural information and a means of expressing special features of ethnic mentality. Specific elements of etiquette forms with ethnocultural components reflect the national picture of the world, convey the image of society. National features of etiquette have been formed over the centuries under the influence of cultural and historical features of people's development and perform both ethnoconsolidating and ethnodifferentiating functions, acting as an important feature of the ethnos and distinguishing it from other ethnic groups. Analysis of the mentality and etiquette of representatives of different cultures, in particular, Ukrainians, British and Chinese, shows that etiquette, as a mirror of national character, is concentrated in the nation's worldview, mediated by a variety of extracultural factors. Cultural values of people, the specifics of their lives, of course, play an important role in the formation of etiquette and are reflected in the rules of etiquette of a nation.

Efeitos biopsicos sociais e psiconeuroimunológicos do câncer sobre o paciente e familiares
Authors: Deitas Terezinha Fátima Hassan , Gaspary João Francisco Pollo 
Published: October 2022

Durante as duas últimas décadas, têm sido ressaltados os problemas somáticos, psíquicos e sociais de pacientes com câncer, bem como têm sido focalizadas, no âmbito do estudo oncolágico, as teorias hiopsicossociais e psiconeuroimunológicas. O presente trabalho apresenta considerações clínicas sobre esses aspectos, ressaltando-se o impacto que o câncer provoca sobre os pacientes e seus familiares. O câncer e seus tratamentos constituem uma fonte de estresse, capaz de desencadear desordens de ajustamento nestes indivíduos. A mensuração da qualidade de vida deve ser incorporada aos estudos clínicos, porque a sua inclusão tende a melhorar as indicações terapêuticas. Os relatos de pacientes sobre sintomas somáticos são associados, principalmente, às suas preocupações emocionais e sociais mais do que ao seu estado geral de saúde. A equipe responsável pelos pacientes deve compreender a dinâmica envolvida no binômio família-paciente e conhecer a influência que os fatores psicossociais exercem sobre ele. A falha do reconhecimento dessa influência e, conseqüentemente, o prejuízo provocado no suporte psicossocial da família irão privar os pacientes do conforto, amor, suporte e companheirismo de que eles precisarão através do curso da sua doença. Os médicos devem ser capazes de identificar e estimular circunstâncias que facilitem o processo de adaptação de seus pacientes. O tratamento psicológico, em pelo menos alguma extensão, sempre é benéfico.

O tumor de Krukenberg (TK) é uma entidade rara, caracterizada por neoplasia ovariana secundária a um tumor do trato gastrointestinal, freqüentemente bilateral, volumoso e assintomático. Afeta geralmente mulheres na quarta década de vida, correspondendo a l%-5% de todos os tumores ovarianos. Histologicamente são caracterizados por células neoplásicas em anel de sinete, com proliferação estromal não neoplásica e reativa. Poucos casos de TK funcionante são relatados, sendo a associação com virilização durante a gravidez rara. Os autores relatam o caso de uma paciente do sexo feminino, 35 anos de idade, que no segundo trimestre de gestação iniciou com hirsutismo, acne, voz grave e hipertensão arterial sistêmica. A ecografia pré-natal evidenciou volumoso tumor em ovário esquerdo. Foi submetida a cesariana, com nascimento de recém-nato masculino normal. Na evolução, a laparotomia para excisão do tumor em ovário esquerdo revelou carcinomatose peritoneal, metástase hepática e lesão infiltrativa em pequena curvatura gástrica. Exame histológico do tumor ovariano demonstrou adenocarcinoma pouco diferenciado, tipo anel de sinete. A biópsia da lesão gástrica também revelou adenocarcinoma pouco diferenciado, tipo anel de sinete. Foi conduzida com quimioterapia e radioterapia, sem resposta. Evoluiu a óbito oito meses após o diagnóstico.

We are commenting recent discoveries on the presence of L-DOPA, dopamine, 5-hydroxytryptophan, tryptamine, serotonin, N-acetylserotonin, melatonin, 2-hydroxymelatonin, AFMK and AMK in honey. Serotonin and melatonin, products of the tryptophan metabolism, are widely produced in nature, serving as hormones, neurotransmitters, biological regulators, neurotransmitters and antioxidants, in a context dependent fashion. Dopamine and tryptamine are important neurotransmitters across different species. Honey is used as one of the most popular healthy food substances. Detection of above molecules in honey accompanied by detection of vitamin D3 and its hydroxyderivatives, is consistent with their detection in insects and plants. Their presence in honey enhances spectrum of its beneficial effects for human health and implicates that these molecules must play important role in social insects physiology, bees development and colony functions.

Abstract

Metarhizium acridum is an important microbial pesticide. Conidia (CO) and blastospores (BS) are two types of spores that occur in different patterns in the M. acridum life cycle and exhibit significant differences in cell morphology, structure, and activity. It may suggest that the fungus has a complex gene regulation mechanism. While previous studies on the differences between CO and BS have mainly focused on cell structure and application, little is known regarding the differences between CO and BS in fungi on the transcriptome levels. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs crucial to gene regulation and cell function. Understanding the miRNA-like RNAs (milRNA) and mRNA expression profiles related to cell growth and cellular morphological changes would elucidate the roles of miRNAs in spore morphological differences. In this study, 4,646 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified and mainly classified in the GO terms cell, cell part, biological process, and catalytic activity. The KEGG annotation suggested that they were enriched in amino acid biosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, ribosome, and oxidative phosphorylation and might be involved in cell activity and structure. There were 113 differentially expressed milRNAs (DEMs), targeting 493 DEGs. Target gene functional analysis revealed that the target genes were mainly enriched in RNA transport, purine metabolism, and the cell cycle. In addition, we identified essential genes from milRNA-mRNA pairs that might participate in cell budding growth and cell membrane and wall integrity, including adenosine deaminase, glycosyl hydrolase, and G-patch domain protein (dno-miR-328-3p), WD repeat-containing protein pop1 (age-miR-127), and GPI-anchored wall transfer protein (cgr-miR-598). MilRNAs might therefore play a crucial role in cell growth and cellular morphological changes as transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulators.

Abstract
The Beijing genotype is the most common type of tuberculosis in Jiangxi Province, China. The association of population characteristics and their prevalence in the development of recent transmission is still unclear. 1,433 isolates were subjected to drug-resistant tests and MIRU-VNTR analysis. We compared differences in demographic characteristics and drug resistance patterns between the Beijing and non-Beijing family strains. We also explored the association of the clustering rate with the Beijing genotype of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The Beijing genotype was dominant (78.16%). The results of MIRU-VNTR showed that 775 of 1,433 strains have unique patterns, and the remaining gather into 103 clusters. A recent transmission rate was 31.54% (452/1,433). The Beijing genotype strains were more likely to spread among the recurrent population (p = 0.004), people less than 50 years of age (p = 0.02 or 0.003), and the personnel in the northern regions (p = 0.03). Drug resistance patterns did not show significant differences between Beijing and non-Beijing genotype isolates. Furthermore, we found that HIV-positive cases had a lower clustering rate (p = 0.001). Our results indicated that the recurrent population and people under 50 years of age were more likely to be infected with the Beijing genotype of M. tuberculosis. The strains from the Beijing family were easier to cluster compared to strains isolated from the non-Beijing family. Social activity and AIDS substantially impacted the clustering rate of the Beijing genotype of M. tuberculosis. Multidrug resistant M. tuberculosis affected Beijing genotype transmission.

VoIP servers provide several types of codecs including iLBC and Speex codecs, each type of codec has a different capacity and quality- different. So that in the process of choosing a codec implementation, VoIP becomes one of the things that affect the quality of communication. The iLBC and Speex codecs are intended for high quality but bitrate . By comparing iLBC and Speex communication, VoIP hoped that the better performance between the two codecs would communicate VoIP based on Quality of Service (QoS) and analyze the audio results of VoIP for voice quality analysis using the voice comparison method using Matlab. Based on the results of the research between the iLBC and Speex parameter value QoS including delay codec speex is smaller than iLBC codec of 31.12 ms. The jitter value of the iLBC and speex is the same, namely 0.01. The packet loss value of the iLBC codec is smaller than the speex codec of 6.18%. The results of the sound quality test in matlab using the sound comparison method showed that the delta amplitude codec speex value was smaller than iLBC codec of 0.00004551 volts.

Lignin is the most abundant aromatic biopolymer with many promising features but also shortcomings as a filler in polymer blends. The main objective of this work was to improve the processability and compatibility of lignin with poly (lactic acid) (PLA) through etherification of lignin. Commercial kraft lignin (KL) and oxypropylated kraft lignin (OPKL) were blended with PLA at different weight percentages (1, 5, 10, 20, and 40%) followed by injection molding. Low lignin contents between 1 and 10% generally had a favorable impact on mechanical strength and moduli as well as functional properties of the PLA-based composites. Unmodified lignin with free phenolic hydroxyl groups rendered the composites with antioxidant activity, as measured by radical scavenging and lipid peroxidation tests. Incorporating 5–10% of KL or OPKL improved the thermal stability of the composites within the 300–350°C region. DSC analysis showed that the glass transition temperature values were systematically decreased upon addition of KL and OPKL into PLA polymer. However, low lignin contents of 1 and 5% decreased the cold crystallization temperature of PLA. The composites of KL and OPKL with PLA exhibited good stabilities in the migration test, with values of 17 mg kg−1 and 23 mg kg−1 even at higher lignin content 40%, i.e., well below the limit defined in a European standard (60 mg kg−1). These results suggest oxypropylated lignin as a functional filler in PLA for safe and functional food packaging and antioxidant applications.

Breathing exposes lung cells to continual mechanical stimuli, which is part of the microenvironmental signals directing cellular functions together with the extracellular matrix (ECM). Therefore, developing systems that incorporate both stimuli is urgent to fully understand cell behavior. This study aims to introduce a novel in vitro culture methodology combining a cyclic stretch that simulates in vivo breathing with 3D cell culture platforms in the form of decellularized lung slices (DLS) and precision cut lung slices (PCLS). To this end, we have constructed a device that mimics the amplitudes and frequencies of distensions seen in the breathing human lung. For its validation, we cultured H441 lung epithelial cells in human DLS exposed to 16 stretch cycles per minute with a 10% stretch amplitude. Cell viability (resazurin reduction), proliferation (Ki-67) and YAP1 activation were evaluated at 24 and 96 h by immunohistochemistry, while the expression of SFTPB, COL3A1, COL4A3 and LAMA5 was evaluated by qPCR. Cyclic stretch induced an increase in SFTPB expression after 24 h without a concomitant increase in the stretch responsive gene YAP1. Moreover, the ECM milieu lowered the expression of the basement membrane protein genes COL4A3 and LAMA5 compared to tissue culture plastic control cultures, but no effect was observed by the mechanical stimuli. The device also confirmed good compatibility with PCLS culture, showing preserved morphology and metabolism in rat PCLS after 72 h of mechanical stretch. Thus, we present a novel device and methodology for the easy assembling and study of lung tissue slice cultures subjected to physiomimetic mechanical stimuli, which shows promise for future studies of cell and tissue function in a lung ECM milieu with physiological or pathological mechanical stimuli.

Published: October 2022

Background and objectives: Chronic nonspecific back pain is a common clinical disease typically treated by ultrasound-guided spinal injection. This minimally invasive treatment targets the posterior ramus of the spinal nerve (PRSN). The target of the medial branch is clear, but there is unclear target for the intermediate and lateral branches. This study attempted to observe the distribution of PRSN in the dorsal region of transverse process to provide a more detailed anatomical basis for treating spinal pain.Methods: The present study was conducted on 16 transverse processes of six adult male embalmed corpses. The dorsal area of the transverse process was divided into three equal zones, which are zone I, zone II and zone III from inside to outside. The origin, distribution, quantity, transverse diameter, and relationship with the bone structure of the PRSN on the transverse process were observed.Results: Sixty PRSNs were found in the lumbar of six cadavers, of which 48 were divided into three branches, and 12 PRSNs were divided into two branches. The intermediate branch is mainly distributed in zone I, and the lateral branch is mainly distributed in zone II. Twenty-nine communicating branches were found in 48 adjacent segments of six specimens, all of which originated from the intermediate branch of the previous segment and connected with the lateral branch of the next segment.Conclusion: This anatomical study describing the PRSN may have important clinical significance for spinal surgeons. Understanding the bony localization targets of the PRSN and the links between the PRSNs may benefit patients with low back pain who receive spinal injections.

Published: October 2022

Three-dimensional surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates usually provide more hot spots in the excitation light beam and higher sensitivity when compared with the two-dimensional counterpart. Here a simple approach is presented for the fabrication of arrays of Ag-nanoparticles decorated TiO2 nanotubes. Arrays of ZnO nanorods were fabricated in advance by a hydrothermal method. Then TiO2 nanotube arrays were achieved by immersing the arrays of ZnO nanorods in an aqueous solution of (NH4)2TiF6 for 1.5 h. Vertically aligned TiO2 nanotube arrays were modified with dense Ag nanoparticles by Ag mirror reaction. High density of Ag nanoparticles decorated on the fabricated TiO2 nanotubes provide plenty of hotspots for Raman enhancement. In addition, the fabricated array of Ag nanoparticles modified TiO2 nanotubes can serve as a reusable SERS substrate because of the photocatalytic activity of the TiO2 nanotubes. The SERS substrate adsorbed with analyte molecules can realize self-cleaning in deionized water after UV irradiation for 2.5 h. The sensitivity of the fabricated SERS substrate was investigated by the detection of organic dye molecules. The detectable concentration limits of rhodamine 6G (R6G), malachite green (MG) and methylene blue (MB) were found to be 10−12 M, 10−9 M and 10−8 M, respectively. The enhancement factor (EF) of the three-dimensional SERS substrate was estimated to be as high as ∼1.4×108. Therefore, the prepared Ag nanoparticles modified TiO2 nanotube arrays have promising potentials to be applied to rapid and trace SERS detection of organic chemicals.
