OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to compare the radiographic and clinical outcomes in patients with degenerative scoliosis (DS) with type C coronal imbalance who underwent either a sequential correction technique or a traditional 2-rod technique with a minimum of 2 years of follow-up.

METHODS
DS patients with type C coronal imbalance undergoing posterior correction surgery from February 2014 to January 2018 were divided into groups by technique: the sequential correction technique (SC group) and the traditional 2-rod technique (TT group). Radiographic parameters, including Cobb angle, coronal balance distance (CBD), global kyphosis (GK), thoracic kyphosis (TK), lumbar lordosis (LL), sagittal vertical axis (SVA), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), and sacral slope, were assessed pre- and postoperatively. The SF-36 questionnaire was used to assess quality of life.

RESULTS
A total of 34 patients were included. Significant postoperative improvement in the Cobb angle of the main curve, CBD, GK, TK, LL, SVA, and PT was found in both groups (p < 0.05). Postoperatively, the coronal balance was type A in 13 patients (92.9%) in the SC group and in 16 patients (80.0%) in the TT group (p = 0.298). In the TT group, 1 patient had deteriorative coronal imbalance immediately postoperatively, and coronal imbalance deteriorated from type A to type C in 2 patients during follow-up. The scores of Physical Functioning, Role-Physical, Bodily Pain, Vitality, Social Functioning, Role-Emotional, and Mental Health were statistically improved postoperatively (p < 0.05) in both groups. Type C coronal imbalance at the last follow-up was associated with a relatively worse quality of life. There were no implant failures during follow-up in the SC group, whereas rod fracture was observed in 3 patients in the TT group.

CONCLUSIONS
Compared with the traditional 2-rod technique, the sequential correction technique can simplify rod installation procedure, enhance internal instrumentation, and reduce risk of implant failures. The sequential correction technique could be routinely recommended for DS patients with type C coronal imbalance.

Published: January 2022

In this study, we present a univariate probability distribution through application of the three Sub and Super Exponential heavier-longer and lighter-shorter tails fitting. This univariate family includes the Lognormal, Gamma and Weibull distribution, the adequacy of the distribution tails is obtained by adequate Fitting Tests and descriptive Criterion. It emphasizes on tail values and is independent of the number of intervals. In this regards the time series analysis for the last three centuries of the logarithm population data sets over to Karachi region (from1729 to1946 and from 1951 to 2018) is used, which contains irregular and regular length and peaks, That peaks /tails fitting is attained by methods for validation and normality tests and defined by stochastic depiction. In other hand, Weibull and Lognormal distribution tails are found as heavier distribution by two validation tests (Maximum Likelihood Estimation and probability of correct selection), In the final section, the univariate probability distributions are used to Monte Carlo simulation for generating the actual population data, it indicates that the heavy-tailed Lognormal and Weibull distributions are also fitted contract than the more commonly seen lighter tailed Gamma distribution. So, the Monte Carlo Simulation performs the appropriate Lognormal and Weibull distributions for irregular and regular data and generate data values (298 and 69) from duration of 1729 to 2020 and 1951 to 2020.

Casuarina equisetifolia, Australian Pine (FOR298/FR366)
Australian pine was originally planted in Florida in the late 1800′s as a windbreak and for shade. But soon thereafter it was spreading without help from humans. Today it is considered a category I invasive species in Florida, and the Division of Plant Industry strictly prohibits possessing, transporting, and cultivating this species. For those who find this tree in close proximity to their home, it’s a good idea to replace it since Australian pine is known to have a very low resistance to wind. Australian pine is commonly found growing on coastal shorelines since it thrives in salty, sandy environments. This 2-page fact sheet was written by Michael G. Andreu, Melissa H. Friedman, and Robert J. Northrop, and published by the UF Department of School of Forest Resources and Conservation, July 2012.

Relevance. Currently, there is a need to develop proposals for the creation of a vertically integrated system of procurement stations with modern slaughterhouses in the Arctic zone of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The methodology for determining the potential capacity of a primary processing point for animal products allows planning the rational placement of production facilities, their state regulation and financing.Methods. At the research we used such methods as monographic, economic and statistical, graphic, computational and constructive methods. The potential capacities are determined on the basis of the necessary equality between the monthly capacity according to the schedule of arrival of animals from agricultural producers and the monthly productivity of the point according to capacity.Results. The article provides a brief analysis of the development of agriculture in the Arctic regions, which are divided into the Anabarskaya, Prilenskaya, Yanskaya, Indigirskaya, Kolymskaya groups of uluses (districts) according to the basin principle of the main navigable rivers. The strategic directions of the development of branches of the agro-industrial complex in the north of Yakutia are considered. The methodology and results of calculating the potential capacity of primary processing points in each group of uluses based on the number of reindeer, horses and cattle (cattle) and seasonality of slaughter and daily capacity for initial planning are presented. According to the results of the study, it is proved that to ensure a relatively full load during the year (except for the summer period) the primary processing centers in the Arctic zone of RS (Ya) can be of small and medium capacity. The layout scheme of the centers for processing livestock products is proposed, taking into account the further optimal increase in performance with capacities: 25 heads per shift — in v. Saskylakh, Anabarsky ulus (district) and Deputatsky settlement, Ust-Yansky ulus; 10 heads per shift — in u.v. Tiksi, Bulunsky ulus and u.v. Chersky, Nizhnekolymsky ulus; 7 heads per shift — inv.

Study of the resistance of cows with mastitis depending on the age of lactation
Authors: Dovydenkova M. V. 
Published: January 2022

Relevance.The breeding stock and young cattle in the conditions of industrial technology of animal husbandry experience an increased antigenic load, which leads to disturbances in the immune status and the development of inflammatory processes manifested by endometritis and mastitis, diarrheal and respiratory syndromes. It was relevant to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the immunological reactivity of the animal’s body according to the state of resistance in cattle with clinical and subclinical mastitis, depending on the age of lactation. As a result of complex studies, the specific and nonspecific reactivity of the body of cattle in different periods of lactation was studied.Methods.The object of the study were cows of a black-and-white Holstein breed (n = 450). Groups of animals were formed according to the age of lactation:1st lactation, 2–3rd lactation, 3–4th lactation and for health reasons: clinically healthy animals, with subclinical mastitis and clinical mastitis. Milk samples were taken from cows to count the number of somatic cells, and blood to determine the quantitative content of IgG immunoglobulin and indicators of nonspecific resistance.Results.It was found that with mastitis in cows of different lactation ages, almost identical changes in the immune status were observed. Quantitative determination of IgG levels in animal blood serum is the basis for assessing the immunity of cattle. The immune status in clinically healthy animals was characterized by a higher level of the total amount of IgG immunoglobulin in the blood serum (amounted to 22.25 ± 0.70 mg/ml), whereas in cows with a subclinical form of mastitis, the level of IgG immunoglobulin decreased by 12.3%, with a clinical form of mastitis — by 17.2%. The results also showed that in cows of different lactations with subclinical and clinical mastitis, the bactericidal activity (by 10.8%) and the lysozyme activity of the blood increased significantly (by 8.22%). In cows with clinical mastitis — by 8.6% and 9.7% respectively, compared with the indicators in groups of healthy animals. Thus, mastitis, occurring in acute and subacute form, leads to a decrease in the resistance of the cows’ organism.

Relevance. Biological features (morphometric indicators, viability and germinating power) of Poterium polygamum seeds found in natural communites of the Stavropol Territory have been studied. The conservation of wild-growing plant species in the natural population and the rational use of their potential are relevant.Methods. Years of study — 2013–2021. The subject of the study is Poterium polygamum seeds. Seeds were collected in 2013. Studies were carried out according to the methods of studying seed material. Freshly harvested seeds and seeds of different shelf life were germinated in petri dishes at a temperature of 18–20 °C.Results. The collected seeds of Poterium polygamum are quite large. The length of the seeds is 4–5 mm, the width is about 2.5 mm. The mass of 1000 pieces of seeds on average was 10.59 grams. Complete absence of viability of freshly harvested Poterium polygamum seeds was revealed. After three months, seed viability was 97%. This is a shallow physiological rest associated with the post-harvest maturation period. During the storage of seeds, their high germination was established — from 70 to 100%. The duration of seed storage is 8 years. The largest number of germinated seeds and their germinating power were noted in the third year of their storage (100%). Seeds germinated on the third or fourth day. The differences between the viability of seeds and their germinating power are not great. In the eighth year of storage of Poterium polygamum seeds, viability and germinating power were slightly reduced. The storage period of seeds, in which they retain the ability to germinate and the germinating power, is long. It has been found that the wild species Poterium polygamum belongs to plants with a high (70 to 100%) viability. This species is regularly resumed in the natural population. The revealed biological features of Poterium polygamum seeds can become the scientific basis during the reconstruction of degraded natural grass stand and in selection work.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: Anemia is a frequent complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children and it causes an increase in morbidity, mortality and accelerates the rate of progression of CKD. Inflammation and impaired kidney clearance increase plasma hepcidin, inhibiting duodenal iron absorption and sequestering iron in macrophages. However, the role of hepcidin in increasing the risk of anemia in children with CKD is still uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the association between hepcidin levels and anemia in children with pre-dialysis CKD. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Dr. Soetomo Academic Hospital from December 2018 to February 2019. Children with pre-dialysis CKD were enrolled in this study. The subject had no history of erythropoietin administration and blood transfusion 3 months before the blood sample were withdrawn. A complete blood count, ferritin serum, transferrin saturation (TSAT) and hepcidin serum were performed. The correlations between Hepcidin and ferritin level, between ferritin level and anemia, and between TSAT and anemia were analyzed using Spearman correlation and the Mann-Whitney test.
Results: A total of 47 children, 27 boys and 20 girls, ranged in age from 3 months to 18 years old. There was a significant correlation between hepcidin and ferritin levels (p=0.006) and the value of the Spearman correlation was r=0.392. While the correlation between ferritin level and anemia showed a significant result, p=0.001. However, TSAT did not show any significant correlation with anemia (p=0.230).
Conclusion: There was an indirect association between hepcidin level and anemia by increasing ferritin level that induces anemia in pre-dialysis CKD children.
