Abstract
Background: Postoperative surgical site infections (SSIs) are a common complication of surgical procedures; however, the use of drain tip cultures to diagnose SSIs in patients is controversial. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of drain tip cultures for the prediction of postoperative SSIs in patients recovering from hip arthroplasty. Study design: The data was compiled from 1204 patients in 15 years and statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of drain tip culture in determining surgical site infection. We also used this data to evaluate whether preexisting conditions such as hypertension or diabetes affected the probability of a patient getting an SSI. Results: Drain tip cultures were positive in 12 of 1,112 cases of primary hip arthroplasty, but only one of these 12 patients were ultimately diagnosed with an SSI (Sensitivity, 12.5%; specificity, 99.0%; p = 0.0834). Results from postoperative drain tip cultures performed in patients undergoing revision arthroplasty included 2 false positives and 3 false negatives; interestingly, no true positives were detected in any of the revision arthroplasty cases we evaluated (sensitivity, 0％; specificity, 97.8％; p = 0.9355). Conclusion: Our results indicate that drain tip cultures have no statistically significant predictive value for the diagnosis of postoperative SSIs and thus should not be used as a primary diagnostic or predictive tool for SSIs. We recommend exploring other diagnostic tools for the postoperative diagnosis of SSIs. Standardized guidelines should therefore be established to improve the predictive value of the different methods.

Published: August 2022

Nanotechnology fertilizers are fertilizers associated with objects measuring 1 nm to 100 nm capable of controlling or manipulating at an atomic scale. Phosphorus is one of the essential nutrients needed by plants in large amounts. Maize is a strategic commodity requiring optimal nutrients. Inceptisol is soil that has relatively low fertility and chemical properties. The addition of P nutrients to the soil plays an important role in improving soil quality. This study aimed to compare the types of P fertilizers of nano guano, nano phosphate rock, and SP-36 with various doses of P2O5 and determine the most effective type. This research was arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors. The first factor is the type of fertilizer, consisting of nano guano, nano phosphate rock, and SP-36. The second factor is the dose of P2O5 with four treatment levels, namely 0 kg.ha-1, 50 kg.ha-1, 100 kg.ha-1, and 150 kg.ha-1. The results showed that nano phosphate rock was the most effective fertilizer for maize in Inceptisol. The optimum dose of P fertilizer was 100 kg.ha-1, which was able to produce the highest plant height (215.67 cm) and phosphorus uptake (0.4765 g/plant).

Background and objectives
Pain during cannulation for vascular access is a considerable problem for patients with kidney disease who are undergoing hemodialysis. We examined whether listening to music can reduce cannulation pain in these patients.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
We conducted a multicenter, single-blind, crossover, randomized trial of 121 patients who reported pain during cannulation for hemodialysis. We compared participants listening to “Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major, K.448” or white noise as control while undergoing the cannulation procedure. The cannulation operator was blinded to the intervention, and the hypothesized superiority of music over white noise was concealed during explanations to the participants. The primary end point was the visual analog scale score for cannulation pain independently evaluated by participants.

Results
The primary analysis was on the basis of the modified intention-to-treat principle. The median baseline visual analog scale pain score was 24.7 mm (interquartile range, 16.5–42.3). Median change of the visual analog scale pain score from the “no sound” to the music period was −2.7 mm (interquartile range, −9.2 to 3.6), whereas it was −0.3 mm (interquartile range, −5.8 to 4.5) from “no sound” to white noise. The visual analog scale pain score decreased when listening to music compared with white noise. (Adjusted difference of visual analog scale pain score: −12%; 95% confidence interval, −21 to −2; P=0.02.) There were no significant differences in the secondary outcomes of anxiety, BP, or stress assessed by salivary amylase (adjusted difference of visual analog scale anxiety score −8%, 95% confidence interval, −18 to 4; P=0.17). No intervention-related adverse events were reported.

Conclusions
Listening to music reduced cannulation pain in patients on hemodialysis, although there was no significant effect on anxiety, BP, or stress markers.

<p><strong>Objective:</strong> To explore the long-term association of survival benefit from early revascularization with the magnitude of ischemia in patients with diabetes compared to those without diabetes using a large observational cohort of patients undergoing single photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT-MPI).</p>
<p><strong>Research Design and Methods:</strong> Of 41,982 patients who underwent stress and rest SPECT-MPI from 1998 to 2017, 8,328 (19.8%) had diabetes. By using a propensity score, 8,046 patients with diabetes were matched to 8,046 patients without diabetes. Early revascularization was defined as occurring within 90 days after SPECT-MPI. Percent myocardial ischemia was assessed from the magnitude of reversible myocardial perfusion defect on SPECT-MPI. </p>
<p><strong>Results:</strong> Over a median 10.3-year follow-up, annualized mortality rate was higher for the patients with diabetes compared to those without diabetes (4.7 vs. 3.6%; p<0.001). There were significant interactions between early revascularization and percent myocardial ischemia in patients with and without diabetes (all interaction p-values <0.05). After adjusting for confounding variables, survival benefit from early revascularization was observed in patients with diabetes above a threshold of >8.6% ischemia and in patients without diabetes above a threshold of >12.1%. Patients with diabetes receiving insulin had higher mortality rate (6.2 vs. 4.1%; p<0.001), but there was no interaction between revascularization and insulin usage (interaction p-value=0.405). </p>
<p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Patients with diabetes, especially those on insulin treatment, had higher mortality rate compared to patients without diabetes.

Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian Remeshing in FE Simulations of Tire Forming
Authors: Zreid Imadeddin , Wei Yintao , Kaliske Michael 
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT
Tire forming simulation is challenging for Lagrangian finite element method codes due to large changes in the geometry of the tire in the course of molding. This Technical Note briefly describes the use of Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) adaptive remeshing in the context of tire molding and curing simulations. The ALE concept generalizes the pure Lagrangian formulation, where the solution within a time step is split into a mesh smoothing step, a history remapping step, and a Lagrangian step. Mesh distortion is reduced in the smoothing step by optimizing the node positions of spatial and material meshes without changing the data structure. The advantage of the ALE approach is demonstrated by a tire forming example.

Published: August 2022

The article discusses the need to analyze literary elements of children literature in teaching of native language in elementary classes: the level of perception and application of junior schoolchildren’s elementary literary knowledge in native language teaching process is studied and presented.
Teaching of literary elements in elementary school is mostly practical. When teaching any literary or folklore work, a lot of work and effort is required: a teacher must pay attention to basic literary knowledge based on standards defined by elementary school curriculum.
The comprehensive study and practical perception of elementary literary knowledge and its assimilation help schoolchildren understand the thematic-ideological basis of works, due to which educational, teaching and cognitive significance of a literary work increases. Literary knowledge effects on child's thinking, worldview, communicative skills, evaluation of phenomena. Literary characters’ actions, relationships, feelings, speech influence on pupils relating to their self-recognition, self-expression. During individual and group activities, friendly relationships are formed among classmates, which impacts on a person’s development and formation of values. The direct way to achieve goal is to use targeted and effective methods.

Abstract
Recently, influence of bacteria colonization on development and maturation of gut wall is getting more into the focus of gastrointestinal research. For years, the main interest and research were aimed to the development and maturation of gut wall and its functional properties in normal conditions, less attention has been paid on the germ-free animals. Germ-free (GF) piglets have clear microbiological background and are reared in sterile environment. GF piglets are regarded as clinically relevant models for studying of human diseases, as these piglets’ manifest similar clinical symptoms to humans. In this study we briefly summarised the main characteristics in the distribution of goblet cells in the wall of jejunum and colon of GF piglets as healthy control (HC) group and piglets, which were experimentally infected by E. coli O149:K88 as ECK group. Neutral mucins were stained with periodic acid-Shiff (PAS) whereas acidic mucins are stained with Alcian blue. Numbers of goblet cells containing total acidic mucins in both, the jejunum and colon, differed significantly between HC and ECK piglets and in the colon, a similar trend was also observed. In the ECK piglets, jejunal goblet cells exhibited decrease in neutral mucins. This change in mucin profile in response to bacterial colonization suggests a potential role as a protective mechanism against pathogenic invasion of the intestinal mucosa during of gut mucosa development in piglets.
Simultaneous detection of purine metabolites by membrane modified electrochemical sensors
Authors: Blaškovičová Jana , Purdešová Andrea 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Purine metabolites are important for metabolic and cellular processes. Deregulation of purinergic signaling leads to pathological accumulation of purine degradation products in extracellular fluids and indicates various diseases. In clinical diagnosis at early stages of related diseases, accurate detection of Uric acid and Xanthine is of high importance. Electrochemical methods are fast, simple, sensitive, more convenient, and cost-effective compared to other analytical methods used in purine metabolites signaling. Electrochemical sensors are able to detect more compounds simultaneously. Modification of a glassy carbon electrode sensor with external protective membranes was used in this study to avoid unwanted signal interferences from analyte matrices. Polyvinyl alcohol, Chitosan, and Nafion membranes were selected for sensor modification to compare the electro-neutral, positive and negative charged setting of the Xanthine and Uric acid detection. All three membrane modified sensors showed adequate stability in the phosphate buffer solution after 5 min of incubation and are thus suitable for simultaneous detection of purine metabolites. The best results in anodic peak current response values were observed using the Nafion membrane modified glassy carbon electrode sensor. The approach reported here can be useful for the detection of purine metabolites from various matrices at early stages of clinical diagnosis.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Because civil engineering structures include stressed structural members and unstressed non-structural members, it isn’t easy to obtain the true parameters of the model when modeling. The article uses a virtual reality fuzzy random modeling to establish a steel bearing force model in civil engineering operations. We determined the relevant bearing capacity parameters based on the corrosion of steel bars in civil engineering. The research found that the numerical simulation method determined in this paper has grasped the essence of stress rate, concrete material properties, and dynamic load effect to a considerable extent.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
This study concerns a new ecological material, bio-sourced and with reduced environmental impact. The material in question is a composite made from date palm fibers and lime. For the development of this material, we were inspired by the techniques used for the manufacture of hemp concrete. The latter is widely used especially in France for the thermal insulation of buildings. The idea is to design an insulation material from the natural resources of the southern Algerian region. The material made is a lightweight concrete that could provide both thermal and acoustic insulation. By its porous morphology, it also has the ability to absorb water vapor when it is in an environment with high relative humidity and to release the vapor if the environment is dry. It could therefore play the role of a water regulator. Experimental investigations revealed interesting mechanical and hydrous properties. Measurements of the moisture buffer value (MBV) reveal that according to the current standard, the material is classified between good and excellent. As regards the mechanical strength, the material produced has an acceptable compressive strength.

Abstract
Black alder (Alnus glutinosa [L.] Gaertn.) is an important component of riparian and wetland ecosystems in Europe. However, data on the growth of this significant broadleaved tree species is very limited. Presently, black alder currently suffers from the pathogen Phytophthora and is particularly threatened by climate change. The objective of this study was to focus on the impact of climatic variables (precipitation, temperature, extreme climatic events) on the radial growth of alder across its geographic range during the period 1975–2015. The study of alder stands aged 46–108 years was conducted on 24 research plots in a wide altitude range (85–1015 m) in 12 countries of Europe and Asia. The most significant months affecting alder radial growth were February and March, where air temperatures are more significant than precipitation. Heavy frost and extreme weather fluctuations in the first quarter of the year were the main limiting factors for diameter increment. Within the geographical setting, latitude had a higher effect on radial growth compared to longitude. However, the most important variable concerning growth parameters was altitude. The temperature’s effect on the increment was negative in the lowlands and yet turned to positive with increasing altitude. Moreover, growth sensitivity to precipitation significantly decreased with the increasing age of alder stands. In conclusion, the growth variability of alder and the number of negative pointer years increased with time, which was caused by the ongoing climate change and also a possible drop in the groundwater level. Riparian alder stands well supplied with water are better adapted to climatic extremes compared to plateau and marshy sites.
