Characteristics and risk factors of infections in patients with HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure: a retrospective study
Authors: Zhang Qian , Shi Baoxian , Wu Liang 
Published: July 2022

Background
Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a syndrome characterized by acute decompensation, organ failures, and high short-term mortality whose main cause in China is the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). Moreover, one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in HBV-ACLF patients is bacterial infection. Therefore, we investigate the clinical features, risk factors, prophylaxis and management of infections in patients with HBV-ACLF.

Methods
We conducted a retrospective analysis of 539 patients with HBV-ACLF in Wuhan Tongji Hospital from October 2015 to May 2018. Differences among groups were compared with Student’s t test, Mann–Whitney U test, χ2 test, or Fisher exact test as appropriate. Univariate and Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used for modeling the relationship between infection and clinical characteristics of HBV-ACLF.

Results
In total 58.81% (317/539) of patients with HBV-ACLF became complicated with infections, and the most common types were spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, urinary tract infection and pulmonary infection. Additionally, 32.18% (102/317) of patients suffered multi-organ infections, and 95.73% (516/539) of patients received anti-infective therapy. We detected a total of 202 isolates in all infected patients, and Escherichia coli (36.14%, 73/202) was the most common causative organism. Moreover, antibiotic susceptibility test patterns showed that 52.97% (107/202) of pathogens were MDR bacteria and 4.95% (10/202) were XDR bacteria. Univariate analysis indicated that patients with infection had a higher proportion of females, taking alcohol, diuretics, hepatic encephalopathy (HE), hepatorenal syndrome (HS), cirrhosis, a long-time in bed and mechanical ventilation, lower prothrombin activity (PTA), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), albumin, total cholesterol (TC), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), hemoglobin (Hb) and platelet (PLT) and higher age, model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) scores and ACLF grade than patients without infection. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that taking alcohol, HE, HS, cirrhosis, albumin and eGFR were risk factors for the development of infection.

Conclusions
Bacterial infections were very common in patients with HBV-ACLF. Taking alcohol, the occurrence of complications (HE, HS and cirrhosis), hypoalbuminemia and poor renal function often predict the higher prevalence of infections in patients with HBV-ACLF. It is important to focus on exploring the early recognition of infection and early intervention of those risk factors in patients with HBV-ACLF.
Amino acids profiling and transcriptomic data integration demonstrates the dynamic regulation of amino acids synthesis in the leaves of Cyclocarya paliurus
Authors: Du Zhaokui , Lin Weida , Zhu Jinxing , Li Junmin 
Published: July 2022

Background
Cyclocarya paliurus is a tree well known for its edible and medicinal leaves. Amino acids are essential nutritional components that are present in foods and closely related to the flavor and quality of tea. However, the abundance of amino acids and the regulation of amino acid biosynthesis in the leaves of C. paliurus have not been investigated across different developmental stages.

Methods
A combined metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis was employed to investigate the changes in the amino acid profile over several developmental stages (S1, the smallest fully expanded leaf; S3, full leaf enlargement and full leaf thickness; and S2, an intermediate developmental stage between S1 and S3) and the molecular mechanism was elucidated.

Results
The results showed that leaves at the S1 stage had the highest content, while those at the S3 stage had the lowest content of amino acids; fourteen differentially expressed genes were involved in the glycolysis pathway, the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the pentose phosphate pathway, which indicated that the reduced abundance of amino acids in the leaves of C. paliurus (mature leaves) may be attributable to reduced gene expression related to carbohydrate metabolism. Four basic leucine zipper transcription factors might play important roles in the regulation of the biosynthesis of amino acids in the leaves of C. paliurus.

Conclusions
Leaves at the S1 stage are recommended for high quality tea production because of their high content of amino acids, while leaves at the S2 stage are recommended for generous tea production because of their high levels of sweet flavor amino acids (alanine) and essential amino acids (methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, and tryptophan).

Background: Anaemia is a major public health concern worldwide, particularly in developing countries like Nigeria. In a previous study on determinants of prenatal anaemia, we found out that the majority of our respondents had dietary iron intake below the recommended value of 27mg∕day and all of them belonged to low socio-economic class. We opined that many of our respondents could have become pregnant with sub-optimal haemoglobin concentrations.
Aim: This study was carried out to evaluate the prevalence of anaemia and the socio-economic determinants of anaemia in non-pregnant women of reproductive age in our community.
Materials and Methods: The study which was descriptive and cross-sectional, involved two hundred consenting non-pregnant women of reproductive age in Ikenne Local Government Area of Ogun State, Nigeria. Interviewer-administered questionnaires were used to collect socio-demographic information and 24-hr dietary recall data which was used to determine the dietary diversity score (DDS) and daily dietary iron intake (DDI). Using a finger prick, the haemoglobin (Hb) concentration of each respondent was determined with a Haemoglobinometer DG-300HB. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.
Results: The mean age of respondents was 32.04±8.99 years while the age range was 18-43years. The mean and range of Hb concentrations were 11.77±1.02 g∕dL and 8-16.67 g∕dL respectively. The prevalence of anaemia obtained from this study was 54% (mean 11.77 SD1.02). The prevalence of anaemia was highest amongst respondents who were farmers. There was a statistically significant association between Hb concentration and body mass index (BMI) p=0.009. Of the 200 respondents, 193 (96.5%) had inadequate dietary iron intake (<18mg/day). There was statistically significant association between Hb groupings and daily dietary iron (DDI) intake. P=0.003. With a mean of 2.96±0.95 food groups and range of 1.0-5.0 food groups, 95 % of respondents had low DDS (< 5 food groups). Hb concentration was also significantly associated with DDS as only 1(20%) of 5 respondents that had adequate DDS had Hb concentration below cut-off value.
Conclusion: The prevalence of anaemia in non-pregnant women of reproductive age was high in the community studied making it possible for majority of them to enter pregnancy with sub-optimal Hb concentration. The prevalence was highest amongst respondents who were farmers. The majority of the respondents had inadequate DDS and daily DDI.
Leaf Morphometric Studies in Some Ipomoea Species of Convolvulaceae Family
Authors: Kale Balasaheb S. , Phadol Nikita S. 
Published: July 2022

Eight species of Ipomoea (Convolvulaceae) were morphometrically studied upon their leaf characters, with the help of taxonomical analysis to solve the relationship between these species. On the basis of taxonomical component analysis, among the studied species, it has been disclosed that the numerical characters such as leaf length, petiole length, leaf breadth and lamina length are positively correlated to resolved taxonomical relation of different species of the same genus. Contribute important role in bringing together the species within a genus using principal component analysis results of five quantitative characters based on similarity matrix reveals significantly the correlation between leaf length to leaf breadth, leaf base nerve number, and the ratio of leaf lamina length to petiole length significantly separates the species from each other. Morphometric characters provided justification for the existing classification of the Ipomoea genus. It also indicates the component matrix after extraction of the characters that contributed strongly in similarity between the selected Ipomoea species. Three characters which include Leaf length, leaf breadth, and the ratio of leaf length to leaf breadth contributed significantly to the delimitation of the species of Ipomoea studied. Morphometric analysis of eight species of Ipomoea quamoclit L.; Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.; Ipomoea cairica (L.) Sweet; Ipomoea hederacea Jacq.; Ipomoea obscura (L.) Ker Gawl.; Ipomoea cordatotriloba Dennst.; Ipomoea lacunosa L. and Ipomoea hederifolia L. Using five different quantitative characters provided justification for the existing classification of the Ipomoea genus. This characters which, contributed significantly to the delimitation of the species of Ipomoea studied. We recommend an application of this method in an elaborate taxonomic study of the genus Ipomoea in the future study.

Authors: Alharbi Mamdouh Raja , Kalevaru Chandra Sekhar 
Published: July 2022

Background: There was tremendous use of telemedicine since the inception of COVID - 19 pandemic everywhere to curb the social distancing and close contact. Information and technology given new dimension of delivery of health care to the public. Objectives: To find the telemedicine satisfaction, demographic factors and other factors association with telemedicine satisfaction among the Qassim population.
Methods: There was a cross sectional study conducted among the 385 sample during the period from January 2021 to December 2021. Data was collected through the google forms online questionnaire among aged 19 years and above people. Based on the variables, necessary statistical tests were applied.
Results: In the present study, 376 participated in the study. Among them 56.4% were males and mean age and standard deviation was 37.91 ± 11.22. About 40.4% were knew the telemedicine services from the government authorities. In the current study, about overall quality of telemedicine satisfaction mentioned from the patients was 77.7%. There was statistically significant association was observed between different levels of satisfaction from satisfied to not satisfied with male gender (male satisfaction 82.5% versus females satisfaction 71.3%, P<0.05).
Conclusions: Based on the study results, close to every four out of five patients were satisfied about Telemedicine services in the Qassim. Little low patient satisfaction was observed among the diabetes, lipid disorders patients and autoimmune diseases. In spite of available normal services in the Qassim hospitals to the patients, still there is need of telemedicine services to the people having chronic morbidity, living in rural areas and to saving money for transport of the patients.
Characterization and Quantification of Urban Expansion and Impact on Urban Planning Practice in Morogoro Municipality, Tanzania
Authors: Mshana Godwin D. , Mbilinyi B. , Msigula P. H. 
Published: July 2022

Globally, there are extensive concerns about urban expansion. In response, urban expansion detection and assessing land use and land cover (LULC) changes have become significant methods to support decisions about suitable land resource use. The major concern with urban expansion aside from habitat destruction, is the distribution of human resources and basic needs especially to the community living in the newly settlement patches. This study applied a series of Landsat images to quantify the rate and characterise the pattern of urban expansion and assess its impact on urban planning practice over a 30 years period from (1990 to 2020). Change detection was supported by images and supervised classification method. Random Forest (RF) classification method was used to achieve imagery classification, and from classification results were validated by Kappa index of Agreement (KIA) and overall accuracy (OA) methods. To analyze these changes, we used Urban Expansion Intensity Index (UEII) landscape metrics to characterize the changes in the spatial patterns across Morogoro landscape and it’s impact of urban expansion on other types of land cover.
The findings indicated that from 1990 to 2010 built up areas have been experiencing an increase of 3.9% to 18.1% respectively, while non-built up areas have decreased from 96.1% to 81.9% respectively within 30 years period time .Urban planning practice in 1990 to 2020 increased of planned land where by plan before development on land increase from 0.8% to 6.6% while the plan after development increase from 0.2% to 10.8% of the total urban area in the same year.
In significant changes in urban expansion and urban planning practice experienced were highly correlated in 2010 to 2020. Based on the outcomes of this study, it is recommended that municipal authorities should consider initiatives in urban planning to reverse the existing trend of urban development in order to recover the sustainability and resilience of the urban situation. The conclusions clarified the spatial pattern of urban change and its influencing factors in Morogoro municipality over the past 30 years and could provide helpful reference for the future urban planning.

Abstract

Objectives
This study examined the association of presenteeism with experiences of poverty among Japanese workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods
A prospective cohort study of Japanese workers was conducted using an Internet monitoring survey. The baseline survey was conducted in December 2020, and a follow-up survey in December 2021. Of the 27 036 workers who participated, 18 560 (68.7%) completed the follow-up survey. The 11 081 who reported that they were not in financial difficulty in the baseline survey were included in the analysis. The degree of work functioning impairment was assessed at baseline using the Work Functioning Impairment Scale (WFun). Households' experience of not being able to pay for food and clothing was identified in the follow-up survey. The odds ratios (ORs) of presenteeism determined by WFun associated with poverty were estimated using a multilevel logistic model. The multivariate model included age, sex, marital status, job type, income, education, smoking, alcohol consumption, number of employees in the workplace, and the incidence rate of COVID-19 by prefecture at baseline.

Results
In the multivariate model, the odds ratio of experiencing food insecurity increased with high WFun score: compared with WFun scores of 13 or less, the OR was 1.87 (95% CI: 1.43–2.43, P &lt; .001) for WFun scores of 14 or more and 3.26 (95% CI: 2.58–4.12, P &lt; .001) for WFun scores of 21 or more.

Conclusions
In addition to labor productivity, the adverse effects of presenteeism on social security-related concerns such as poverty require further attention.
The clinical consequence of using less than four sensory perception examination methods in the Swedish surveillance system for Hand-Arm vibration syndrome
Authors: Antonson Carl , Thorsén Frida , Nordander Catarina 
Published: July 2022

Abstract

Objectives
The Swedish surveillance system aiming to reveal undetected Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) in workers exposed for vibrations is regulated by the provision AFS 2019:3. The goal for the surveillance system is to diagnose HAVS, as well as to find workers at risk for developing HAVS due to other conditions. The national guidelines stipulate examination using at least two out of four hand sensory examination methods (SEM); monofilament (touch), two-point discrimination (discriminative), tuning fork (vibrotactile), and Rolltemp (thermotactile). The aim of this study was to examine the clinical consequence of using less than four of these SEMs.

Methods
We collected data on SEMs from the medical records of all individuals that went through the specific surveillance medical check-up in a large occupational health service for 1 year. We then calculated the number of workers found with HAVS when using one, two, or three SEMs, and compared with the result from using all available SEMs.

Results
Out of 677 examined individuals, 199 had positive findings in at least one SEM. The detection rate for these findings was on average 47% when using one SEM, 71% using two SEMs, and 88% using three SEMs (out of 100% detection when all four SEMs were used).

Conclusions
If fewer than four sensory examination methods are used for surveillance of HAVS, many workers with incipient injuries may stay undetected. This may lead to further exposure resulting in aggravation of injury.
Coptic Language
Authors: Reintges Chris H. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractCoptic is the vernacular language of Late Antique Egypt, which shares historical and linguistic ties with the ancient Mediterranean world. The linguistic heritage from ancient Egyptian figures equally prominently. The Greco‐Egyptian hybridity of Coptic is the outcome of prolonged asymmetric bilingualism with the politically and culturally dominant language Greek. In replacing hieroglyphic writing and its cursive Hieratic and Demotic variants, the introduction of the Greco‐Coptic alphabet marks a turning point in Egypt's literary history. The Bible translations, which are datable to the late third and early fourth centuriesce, had a bearing on the proliferation of Coptic as a literary language, but the Manichean scholastic and literary traditions also played a role in the shaping of Coptic literature. Coptic emerged from late Roman Demotic in presumably less than three generations. The sudden appearance of a new Egyptian vernacular cannot directly be related to the vicissitudes of the Roman Egyptian religious marketplace and the advent of Christianity in Egypt. Out of the different Coptic dialects three gained supraregional importance: Sahidic, the dialect of Upper Egypt, Lycopolitan, the language of the Manichean literature, and Bohairic in the western Delta and Lower Egypt. In the Middle Ages, Coptic lost ground to Arabic in the course of a large‐scale language shift and was replaced by it in all public domains by the eleventh century. As part of its cultural legacy, the present‐day Coptic Orthodox Church retains a liturgy chanted in medieval Bohairic, while biblical lections are read in both Arabic and Coptic.

Alchon Huns
Authors: Kumar Ashish 
Published: July 2022

Abstract

The Alchon Huns began invading the Gupta kingdom from the mid‐fifth century
ce
onward and contributed to the withdrawal of Gupta authority from Gujarat and western Malwa in central India. In the early decades of the sixth century
ce
, the Alchon Huns under Toramāṇa (r. ca. 500–520
ce
) and his son Mihirakula (r. ca. 520–550
ce
) established a transregional monarchical kingdom with its base in the Punjab region, which marked the transition of a central Asian nomadic group into a monarchical kingdom that displayed several characteristics of the Gupta polity. Both Toramāṇa and Mihirakula issued coins based on the pattern of the Gupta coinage and assumed Gupta‐type titles and epithets. The Alchon Hun kingdom was relatively short‐lived and after defeats at the hands of Aulikara and Gupta kings, the Alchon Huns' authority was confined to Kashmir and Gandhāran regions of northwestern South Asia.
Aulikaras
Authors: Kumar Ashish 
Published: July 2022

Abstract

In the fourth to sixth century
ce
, several lineages of the Aulikara ruled Daśapura (identified with modern Mandasor in Madhya Pradesh) and fought their adversaries including the Alchon Huns. Having emerged from the background of Mālava
gaṇa‐sangha
, the Aulikaras first established a monarchical kingdom under Mahārāja Naravarman and his successors – Viśvavarman, Bandhuvarman, and Prabhākara – who accepted the Gupta sovereignty. As Gupta authority was eclipsed in Gujarat and western Malwa, another Aulikara lineage under Prakāśadharman and Yaśodharman (also known as Viṣṇuvardhana) came into power in the early decades of the sixth century
ce
and an autonomous Aulikara kingdom was established by Prakāśadharman after the defeat of the Alchon Hun ruler Toramāṇa in 515
ce
. Prakāśadharman's successor, Yaśodharman, retained the Aulikaras' authority over Daśapura and defeated the Alchon Hun king Mihirakula. Presence of other minor Aulikara lineages in northwest Malwa is also attested by the epigraphic evidence.
Divination, China
Authors: Kory Stephan N. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract

Divinatory practices featuring the provocation and interpretation of omens have been documented in China at least since the late Shang oracle bones of the late second millennium
bce
. Omens, however, were not only manually fabricated through solid media in ancient China, but were also calculated through algorithms or more passively observed in the macrocosmic environment or microcosmic bodies. As such, ancient Chinese divination essentially involved the interpretation of inherently ambiguous signs associated with culturally constructed notions of divine power. While many traditional Chinese forms of divination did not emerge until later periods of Chinese history, others, like astrology, calendrical astrology, meteoromancy, pyro‐osteomancy (divination with bone and fire), achilleamancy (divination with yarrow stalks), oneiromancy, portentology, and physiognomy are well attested in ancient Chinese texts and continued to develop and change long after the end of the Han.
