Authors: ALTAYLI Gökay , TUYGUN Abdullah Kemal 
Published: April 2022

Objective: In this study, we compared the Türkskor risk scoring system, which we have used for many years in our clinic, with other risk scoring systems.
Methods: A retrospective review of 267 patients we presented to the council before open heart surgery was performed in the Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic of Dr Siyami Ersek Training and Research Hospital in 2013-2014. The efficiency of Türkskor, standard EuroSCORE, logistics EuroSCORE and EuroSCORE II, calculated with the preoperative parameters of the patients, in predicting the actual mortality was compared with the ROC analysis.
Results: When the whole patient population was evaluated, the mean Türkscore value was 6.05±3.46, the mean standard EuroSCORE value was 6.09±2.85, the mean logistic EuroSCORE value was 7.72±7.81, and the mean EuroSCORE II value was 3.75±5.49. The total mortality was 44 (44/267 %16,5). The efficiencies of Türkskor, Standard, logistic EuroSCORE and EuroSCORE II in determining mortality in all patient groups were compared with the ROC curve. With these results, the area under the curve was AUC: 0.729 %95 CI: 0.640-0.817 for Türkskor, AUC: 0.710 %95 CI: 0.618-0.803 for Standard EuroSCORE , AUC: 0.715 %95 CI: 0.623-0.807 for Logistic EuroSCORE and AUC:0.730 95% CI: 0.639-0.822 for EuroSCORE 2 were calculated . When compared in all risk groups, Türkskor, Standard EuroSCORE, logistic Euroscore Euroscore II were found to be similar in predicting mortality (p>0.05).
Conclusions: Türkskor, Standard EuroSCORE, logistics EuroSCORE and EuroSCORE II are similarly successful in predicting mortality for all patient groups.

Published: April 2022

Osteocalcin is a product of osteoblasts that is considered a marker of bone formation. However, osteocalcin is also released from the bone matrix into the blood during bone resorption, suggesting that osteocalcin is also a marker of bone turnover. Studies on this marker have shown both favoring and contradicting reports about different levels of osteocalcin and Alkaline Phosphate (ALP) among postmenopausal women.
Aim and Objective: To determine the diagnostic use of Osteocalcin and ALP in post-menopausal women and to evaluate the association of osteocalcin in postmenopausal women.
Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with two groups of postmenopausal women. Group I of 10 subjects within first 5 yr after the onset of menopause and Group II of 8 subjects following 5yr or more after the onset of menopause. Serum uncarboxylated Osteocalcin, carboxylated Osteocalcin and ALP were estimated using the ELISA technique.
Results: The serum ALP, carboxylated Osteocalcin(C-OC), uncarboxylated Osteocalcin (Uc-OC) values were higher in post-menopausal < 5years than those in > 5 years. ALP values correlated positively with C-OC but negatively with PM more >5 years(r=0.159: r= -0.369)
Conclusion: Bone turnover gets higher as the years progress among the post-menopausal state which is reflected in ALP, Uc-OC and C-OC. More insight into this state is required to be studied with larger sample size.

Published: April 2022

Twenty five plus trees of dek were selected from agro-climatic regions of Haryana, Punjab and Uttrakhand. The plus trees were selected on the basis of the different characters of economic importance viz. straightness, clear bole height, self-pruning ability, acute branch angle etc. Among all the plus trees the maximum tree height was observed in MC21 (17.9 m) whereas, the minimum in MC3 (6.5 m). The girth at breast height (gbh) of the selected plus trees varied from 60.9 to 180.8 cm and clear bole height was recorded highest from MC-21 closely followed by MC-13. The correlation among morphological traits of selected plus trees exhibited that clear bole height had positive and highly significant association with the tree height (r = 0.941) closely followed by crown spread (N-S direction) (r = 0.910). At the age of six months, progeny from MC-18 showed maximum shoot length (98.59 cm) followed by MC-16 and MC- 17 progenies. However, the highest root length was observed in the progenies from MC12 (20.84 cm) closely followed by MC-22 (20.46 cm) and MC13 (20.06 cm) progenies. The highest collar diameter was observed in progeny MC17 (13.73 mm) and lowest in MC5 (4.89 mm). The significant variation in growth attributes of progenies of selected plus tees at juvenile stage may be exploited for subsequent breeding programme and establishment of seed orchard for production of quality planting material of this versatile tree species.

Published: April 2022

An experiment was conducted to examine the influence of soil aggregate size on maize root growth and development. The loamy soil samples resulted from different number of passes of rotary tilling experimental runs under the controlled soil bin were selected. The soil texture chosen in this study was sandy loam. The soil samples were obtained after the interval of 10 passes of rotary tilling (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 passes) at moisture content of 10.28 % (w.b). Soil samples collected were kept for the pot experiment. The roots were analysed at 8DAE, 16DAE, and 24DAE for their early growth. Duncan’s multiple range tests for the effect of soil aggregate size on root growth showed the decrease in root growth in soil aggregates finer than 1.5 mm. The decline in root length considerable after 30 passes of rotary tilling (40 passes:74.32cm, 50passes:63.77cm, 60passes:46.63cm).The declined root growth in soil aggregates finer than 1.5mm was attributed to continuous rotary tilling deteriorated the soil structure and hindered the root growth. The soil structure starts degrading with excessive application of rotavator and which in turn develops compacted soil layers in 20-30cm sub soil depth.

AbstractPurposeCalibration of a radiotherapy electronic portal imaging device (EPID) using the pixel‐sensitivity‐map (PSM) in place of the flood field correction improves the utility of the EPID for quality assurance applications. Multiple methods are available for determining the PSM and this study provides an evaluation to inform on which is superior.MethodsThree different empirical methods (“Calvary Mater Newcastle” [CMN], “Varian,” and “WashU”) and a Monte Carlo‐based method of PSM determination were investigated on a single Varian TrueBeam STx linear accelerator (linac) with an aS1200 EPID panel. PSM measurements were performed for each empirical method three successive times using the 6 MV beam. The resulting PSM from each method was compared to the Monte Carlo method as a reference using 2D percentage deviation maps and histograms plus crossplane profiles. The repeatability of generated PSMs was also assessed via 2D standard deviation (SD) maps and histograms. Additionally, the Beam‐Response generated by removal of the PSM from a raw EPID image for each method was visually contrasted. Finally, the practicality of each method was assessed qualitatively and via the measured time required to acquire and export the required images.ResultsThe median pixel‐by‐pixel percentage deviation between each of the empirical PSM methods and the Monte Carlo PSM was ‐0.36%, 0.24%, and 0.74% for the CMN, Varian, and WashU methods, respectively. Ninety‐five percent of pixels were found to be repeatable to within ‐0.21%, 0.08%, 0.19%, and 0.35% (1 SD) for the CMN, Monte Carlo, Varian, and WashU methods, respectively. The WashU method was found to be quickest for data acquisition and export and the CMN the slowest.ConclusionFor the first time four methods of generating the EPID PSM have been compared in detail and strengths and weaknesses of each method have been identified. All methods are considered likely to be clinically acceptable and with similar practical requirements.

Published: April 2022

AbstractThe emergence of the first eukaryotic cell is preceded by evolutionary events, which are still highly debatable. Clues of the exact sequence of events are beginning to emerge. Recent metagenomics analyses has uncovered the Asgard super‐phylum as the closest yet known archaea host of eukaryotes. Some of these have been tested and confirmed experimentally. However, the bulk of eukaryotic signature proteins predicted to be encoded by the Asgard super‐phylum have not been studied, and their true functions, at least in the context of a eukaryotic cell, are still elusive. For example, there are several different variants of the profilin within each Asgardian Achaea, and there are some conflicting results of their actual roles. Here, the 3D structure of profilin from Thorarchaeota is determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and shows that this profilin has a eukaryotic‐like profilin with a rigid core and an extended N‐terminus previously implicated in polyproline binding. In addition, it is also shown that Thorarchaeota Profilin co‐localizes with eukaryotic actin in cultured HeLa cells. This finding reaffirms the notion that Asgardian encoded proteins possess eukaryotic‐like characteristics and strengthen the likely existence of a complex cytoskeleton already in a last eukaryotic common ancestor.

AbstractMonoclinic α‐Ag2S is an intriguing member of transition metal sulfides with great potential for all‐inorganic flexible optoelectronics and thermoelectrics. Fabrication of large‐area, high‐quality α‐Ag2S thin films and understanding their charge transport properties are critical for device operations yet have remained largely unexplored. Here, a novel two‐step, the solution‐processed approach is reported to produce wafer‐sized, highly crystalline α‐Ag2S thin films. Ultrafast terahertz (THz) conductivity measurements reveal that photogenerated charge carriers undergo efficient band transport, with room‐temperature mobility of ≈150 cm2 V‐1 s‐1 and a diffusion length exceeding 500 nm. Furthermore, introducing poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as the rigid component into the aqueous silver thiolate precursor enables the synthesis of free‐standing α‐Ag2S thin films with a mobility of ≈35 cm2 V‐1 s‐1, demonstrating their potential for flexible optoelectronics. This study provides a facile synthesis route for high‐quality, large‐area α‐Ag2S thin films with good charge transport properties, relevant for their integration into optoelectronics and wearable electronics.

AbstractLaser‐induced forward transfer (LIFT) is a rapid laser‐patterning technique for high‐throughput combinatorial synthesis directly on glass slides. A lack of automation and precision limits LIFT applications to simple proof‐of‐concept syntheses of fewer than 100 compounds. Here, an automated synthesis instrument is reported that combines laser transfer and robotics for parallel synthesis in a microarray format with up to 10 000 individual reactions cm−2. An optimized pipeline for amide bond formation is the basis for preparing complex peptide microarrays with thousands of different sequences in high yield with high reproducibility. The resulting peptide arrays are of higher quality than commercial peptide arrays. More than 4800 15‐residue peptides resembling the entire Ebola virus proteome on a microarray are synthesized to study the antibody response of an Ebola virus infection survivor. Known and unknown epitopes that serve now as a basis for Ebola diagnostic development are identified. The versatility and precision of the synthesizer is demonstrated by in situ synthesis of fluorescent molecules via Schiff base reaction and multi‐step patterning of precisely definable amounts of fluorophores. This automated laser transfer synthesis approach opens new avenues for high‐throughput chemical synthesis and biological screening.

Published: April 2022

AbstractMultimode‐fused sensing in the somatosensory system helps people obtain comprehensive object properties and make accurate judgments. However, building such multisensory systems with conventional metal–oxide–semiconductor technology presents serious device integration and circuit complexity challenges. Here, a multimode‐fused spiking neuron (MFSN) with a compact structure to achieve human‐like multisensory perception is reported. The MFSN heterogeneously integrates a pressure sensor to process pressure and a NbOx‐based memristor to sense temperature. Using this MFSN, multisensory analog information can be fused into one spike train, showing excellent data compression and conversion capabilities. Moreover, both pressure and temperature information are distinguished from fused spikes by decoupling the output frequencies and amplitudes, supporting multimodal tactile perception. Then, a 3 × 3 MFSN array is fabricated, and the fused frequency patterns are fed into a spiking neural network for enhanced tactile pattern recognition. Finally, a larger MFSN array is simulated for classifying objects with different shapes, temperatures, and weights, validating the feasibility of the MFSNs for practical applications. The proof‐of‐concept MFSNs enable the building of multimodal sensory systems and contribute to the development of highly intelligent robotics.
