Authors: Eshete Mersha Ashagre , Lulekal Molla Ermias 
Published: August 2022

The objectives of this research were to collect, identify, document, and analyze ethnoveterinary medicinal plants and their associated indigenous knowledge including their preparation and application by traditional healers, and the status of their conservation by Guji Semi-Pastoralist People of Suro Barguda District, West Guji Zone, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. Forty-six ethnoveterinary medicinal plant species representing 43 genera and 29 families were identified in the district (Additional file 1). About 26.1% of the families were represented by more than one species. The highest number of species was recorded for Asteraceae (5 species), followed by Euphorbiaceae (4 species) and most ethnoveterinary medicines were prepared from herbs and shrubs than other growth forms. Chopping the remedial parts and homogenizing them with cold water was found to be the major mode of remedy preparation. All documented ethnoveterinary plant species were harvested from the wild and observed as exposed to depletion. About 4.4% of the ethnoveterinary medicinal plants of Suro Barguda District were endemic to Ethiopia. This study indicated that the study area encompasses different species of ethnoveterinary medicinal plants which should be given conservation priority and the local community depends largely on these plants for the treatment of different livestock ailments although the healers had a very high intention to keep their traditional knowledge secrete. The indigenous knowledge of pastoralists about plants and breeding different species of livestock, as well as their environmental management systems (traditional forest, soil, and water conservation systems), should be incorporated in the planning and implementation of developmental interventions.

Authors: Swart Jeroen , Varekamp Charlene , Greyling Jantho 
Published: August 2022

Background: The incidence, pattern and severity of non-contact injuries in European football has been researched extensively. In South African football only two studies have been conducted to date and with disparate outcomes. Further research into injury rates in South African football is therefore warranted.
Objectives: To determine the incidence and pattern of non-contact injuries in a South African professional football team during the course of a single season (2016-2017) in relation to competition exposure, training load and playing position.
Methods: Thirty-four male professional football players belonging to a single team competing in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) in South Africa were studied. Non-contact time-loss injuries (total training and match injuries) were recorded. Injury incidence, location, severity, type, and playing position (defender, midfielder, attackers, goalkeepers) during either match play or training were recorded.
Results: The non-contact incidence was 52 injuries with an injury rate of 3.74 per 1 000 exposures (training and competition). Competitions resulted in an incidence of 26.4 injuries per 1 000 exposure and training incidence 2.08 injuries per 1 000 exposures. Hamstring, groin and quadriceps injuries were the most frequently injured locations and muscle-tendon injuries accounted for the majority of injuries. The majority of injuries (52%) occurred during match play while 48% occurred during training. The greatest absolute number of injuries were sustained by midfielders (50%), followed by defenders (33%) and attackers (17%). However, relative to player numbers, the greatest number of injuries during match play were for defenders (44%), attackers (32%) and midfielders (24%). During training attackers sustained the most injuries (39%), followed by defenders (31%) and midfielders (30%). Goalkeepers did not sustain any non-contact injuries during the duration of the study.
Conclusion: The non-contact injury incidence in South African professional football players is similar to European football players. Hamstrings and groin injuries are predominant and were sustained throughout the competitive season. Defenders sustained the most non-contact injuries within the team relative to exposure time compared to attackers and midfielders. To our knowledge, injuries relative to player position have not been reported previously.
The envelopes of acceleration time histories
Authors: Cocco Massimo , Boatwright John 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
We derive an analytical model for the envelope of the time history of the acceleration radiated by a dynamic rupture process. The critical element of the model is the stochastic assumption that the acceleration pulses radiated by different fault areas or by different sections of the rupture front arrive incoherently at any observer. The model for the resulting acceleration envelope depends on the square root of the line integral, evaluated over the isochrone, of the square of the product of the dynamic stress drop and a high-frequency radiation pattern that incorporates both directivity and diffraction. By evaluating the maximum of this envelope for simple rupture geometries, we predict the variation of peak acceleration with source size and recording bandwidth for earthquakes from ML ≈ −1 to 6. We also test the analytic model for the envelope using numerical sources that exhibit both smooth and rough rupture growth, fitting the acceleration envelopes of the rough rupture models slightly better than the envelopes of the smooth rupture models. Finally, we propose and test a deconvolutional technique that fits the squared acceleration envelope from a large earthquake as the sum of squared acceleration envelopes recorded from a small earthquake.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the association of carriage of rs9939609 polymorphism in the FTO gene with features of androgen status in men.Material and methods. The observational one-stage examination of 139 male patients aged 22 to 69 years, admitted to a therapeutic hospital in a planned manner has been carried out in the Clinic of the Federal Research Center for Fundamental and Translational Medicine in the period 2020–2021. All fasting men in the morning (8:00–8:30) were carried out of an anthropometric examination to determine physical development, sampling of venous blood from the cubital vein to assess the hormonal parameters of androgen status, and taking a sample of the buccal epithelium for molecular genetic research. Based on the carriage of the rs9939609 (T>A) polymorphism of the FTO gene, the following groups (G) of patients were distinguished: G1 – wild-type homozygotes (WT/WT), G2 – heterozygotes (WT/A), G3 – homozygotes for the mutant allele (A/A).Results and discussion. The statistically significant differences were found in the levels of total testosterone between G1 and G3 (11.6 vs 14.5 nmol/L, p = 0.010), as well as free testosterone in G1 compared to G2 (0.233 vs 0.287 nmol/L, p = 0.012) and G3 (0.233 vs 0.321 nmol/L, p = 0.002) when analyzing the clinical-anthropometric and hormonal features of the androgen status of the examined male patients in the selected groups. Assessment of the association revealed statistically significant positive correlations between the carriage of the mutant allele and the levels of total (r = 0.247; p = 0.013) and free (r = 0.296; p = 0.003) testosterone, and negative - with the frequency of androgen deficiency according to the free testosterone criteria (r = –0.240; p = 0.016).Conclusions. It has been shown that the carriage of the A/A genotype of rs9939609 polymorphism of the FTO gene is associated with an increase in the levels of total and free testosterone, that indicates a protective effect against the development of androgen deficiency in men. The obtained results suggest that this effect is due to the epigenetic effect of the FTO gene protein product on the expression of other genes involved in the synthesis of androgens in the gonads, but also in the adrenal cortex since no association of the carriage of the rs9939609 polymorphism of the FTO gene with the DHEA-C level was found.

The questions concerning the terms of juvenile age body measurement as well as body composition variability remain relevance and academic novelty. Such studies results data are essential for systematic analysis on secular trend of young generation development.Material and methods. Longitudinal study of physical development (length, body weight, muscle and fat component) of boys and girls aged 18 and 19, studying at 1–2 courses of university and living in a dormitory has been applied.Results and discussion. In boys and girls aged 18–19, body length and body weight have increased for 1 year on average by 1.5 and 0.9 cm and by 1.3 and 1.2 kg, respectively. In 22.6 % of boys and 54.8 % of girls body length does not change. The annual changes in the fat component are not reliable, whereas the muscle component increases significantly by 3 % in boys and by 0.8 % in girls. Students living in a dormitory often experience a lack of night sleep, they do not have enough physical activity, consume not enough calories, valuable proteins and fats. Because of this, physical development may deteriorate.Conclusions. The annual variability of the indicators of physical development of students aged 18–19 years indicates the ongoing processes of growth and development, which are more pronounced in boys, in girls there is a tendency to stabilize the length of the body. Knowledge about the sensitivity of the body of first-year students mastering the requirements for studying at a university and independent living in a dormitory is necessary for the organization of work on pedagogical support during the adaptation of first-year students.

Authors: Balandina I. A. , Snigireva S. V. 
Published: August 2022

The lack of accurate information in the scientific literature highlighting the parameters of the fallopian tube funnel in the period from adolescence to old age was the reason for performing this work.The aim of the study was to conduct a comparative analysis of the parameters of the external diameter of the fallopian tube funnel in women who gave birth in the period from adolescence to old age using autopsy specimens.Material and methods. The work was based on the results of a morphometric study of both fallopian tubes in 126 women aged 16 to 88 years who had given birth and were divided into five groups (Group I comprised 24 women in their early teens, Group II comprised 26 women in their first adulthood, Group III comprised 23 women in their second adulthood, Group IV comprised 28 elderly women, Group V comprised 25 senile women.Results. The parameters of the external diameter of the fallopian tubes of women in the period from adolescence to old age have no statistically reliable differences; there is a tendency for the values to increase with age. Comparative analysis of values of the external diameter of the right and left fallopian tubes funnels showed statistically reliable predominance of the right fallopian tube funnel parameters in adolescence and old age. In the first and second periods of adulthood and old age, no statistically significant difference in the parameters of the external diameter of the funnel of the right fallopian tube was found; the tendency to the predominance of the funnel diameter values of the right fallopian tube in comparison with the left one was noted.Conclusions. The parameters of the external diameter of the fallopian tubes funnel in the period from adolescence to old age serve as reference values of the age morphological norm in women who have given birth, supplementing the currently available scientific data on the peculiarities of fallopian tube structure. These results can be applied to prospective basic and clinical research.

The aim of the studywas to compare the effect of glyproline peptides RGRGP (Arg-Gly-Arg-Gly-Pro), RGP (Arg-GlyPro), PRPGP (Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro) and PGPL (Pro-Gly-Pro-Leu) peptide substances at various concentrations on the free radical oxidation intensity of the brain tissues of Wistar males after intraperitoneal administration of peptide solutions after traumatic brain injury.Material and methods. The brain tissue of Wistar males aged 2–3 months (n= 126) were used in the experiment. RGRGP, RGP, PRPGP, and PGPL peptides were provided by Academician N.F. Myasoyedov. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) was modeled by free fall of a load. From the second to the fifth day of the experiment, the animals were injected intraperitoneally with peptides. On the sixth day, the animals were taken out of the experiment. The activity of free radical oxidation was determined in freshly prepared homogenates of sections of the cerebral cortex by chemiluminescence (CL).Results. TBI significantly enhance free-radical oxidation intensity of the neocortex in brain tissue of Wistar rats, and the studied peptides affect it in different ways - from a decrease in CL intensity (the minimum value in TBI + RGP 0.1 group) to its increase (the maximum value in TBI + RGPGP 0.1 group). The effect depends on the dose of glyproline.Conclusions. The results obtained, based on the analysis of the free radical oxidation intensity of tissues, mainly indicate a different degree of correction of tissue homeostasis indicators. It can be assumed that Arg-Pro-Gly peptide can be the basis for the development of new drugs for post-stress rehabilitation after injuries of various levels and genesis.

Introduction. The study of various aspects of the stress-reactivity of the body’s immune system, along with the search for correction tools characterized by immunoregulatory properties, is one of the most relevant areas of physiology and pharmacology. Currently, neuropeptides belonging to the group of glурrоlins (the registered drug “sеlаnk” and the new compounds Рro-Glу-Рro-Leu and Рro-Glу-Рro) are of particular interest in practical application as promising bioregulators, in particular their effects on the processes of free radical oxidation, as well as the ability to restore changes from the immune system, including those formed in response to stress.The aim of the study: was to study the effect of glурrоlins on the intensity of lipid peroxidation, catalase activity in the spleen and thymus of male rats under experimental information stress.Material and methods. The study was performed on white nonlinear male rats on which the model of information stress, based on the formation of behavior in animals in a multi-alternative food-producing maze, was reproduced for 20 days. The initial content of malondialdehyde, the rate of spontaneous and ascorbate-dependent lipid peroxidation were determined by standard spectrophotometric methods, and the activity of catalase in the homogenate of the thymus and spleen of experimental animals was evaluated.Results. Under the studied stress conditions, an increase in peroxidation processes was noted. Against the background of the introduction of sеlаnk, Рro-Glу-Рro and Рro-Glу-Рro-Leu, the suppression of the intensity of lipid peroxidation processes in the homogenates of the spleen and thymus tissue of male rats was established (a decrease in the initial level, the rate of spontaneous and ascorbate-dependent lipid peroxidation).Conclusions. Injection of neuropeptides belonging to the group of glyprolins (sеlаnk, Рro-Glу-Рro-Leu and Рro-Glу-Рro) under informational stress conditions contributes to the suppression of the intensity of lipid peroxidation processes, which indicates the stress-protective and immunocorrective effect of the studied substances.

Актуальность. Лихеноиндикация широко применяется для оценки качества атмосферного воздуха. Для юго-западного Крыма оценка состояния атмосферного воздуха по данным лихеноиникации проводится впервые. Цель: проведение оценки качества атмосферного воздуха в юго-западном Крыму по данным лихеноиндикации. Объекты: эпифитные лишайники, эверния сливовая (Evernia prunastri), рамалина мучнистая (Ramalina farinacea), фисция (Physcia Sp.), пармелия бороздчатая (Parmelia sulcata). Методы. Для анализа в период с февраля по май 2018 г. отобрано 17 проб эпифитных кустистых лишайников в разных природно-ландшафтных условиях (предгорье, межгорные котловины, вершины гор) с учетом разного уровня антропогенной нагрузки. В пробах определено содержание семи элементов: Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Ni, Cr, Sr. Элементный состав лишайников определён методом атомно-абсорбционного спектрометрии. Результаты. Выявлено, что к наиболее активно накапливаемым элементам в лишайниках юго-западного Крыма относятся Zn, Sr и Pb; менее активно накапливаются Cu, Cd, Ni и Cr. Анализ показал, что антропогенные источники загрязнения в большей степени индуцируются по содержанию в лишайниках Cu, Zn, Pb. Высокое содержание Sr индицирует аэрозольное влияние моря (как современной морской акватории через поступающие атмосферные осадки, так и палеоморского бассейна, что обусловлено денудацией морских отложений, микрочастицы которых присутствуют в атмосферном воздухе). Отмеченный относительно высокий уровень загрязнения атмосферного воздуха в г. Инкерман (входит в состав Большого Севастополя) обусловлен выбросами Севастопольской теплоэлектроцентрали (ТЭЦ), возле автозаправочной станции на трассе «Ялта–Севастополь» – выбросами автотранспорта, в сельских населенных пунктах Байдарский долины – выбросами от сжигания угля при печном отоплении. Выявлено, что данные по содержанию тяжелых металлов в лишайниках, отобранных в Чернореченском каньоне, могут считаться эталонными для определения фоновых параметров и уровня загрязнения приземной атмосферы в других районах юго-западного Крыма. Лишайники могут быть использованы для дополнения системы мониторинга состояния приземного воздуха в юго-западном Крыму.

Актуальность. Слабая изученность и экономическая привлекательность формируют актуальность проблемы прогнозирования и поисков эпитермальных кислотно-сульфатных золото-серебряных месторождений в пределах вулканогенных поясов Российской Федерации. Основная цель исследования заключалась в разработке критериев прогноза и поисков эпитермального кислотно-сульфатного золотого оруденения в пределах Ульинского прогиба Охотско-Чукотского вулканического пояса. Методы: дешифрирование космоматериалов ASTER, Landsat ETM+, Sentinel и цифровой модели рельефа по данным Shuttle radar topographic mission, интерпретация аэрогеофизических данных магнитометрической и гаммаспектроскопической съемок с построением структурно-геологических схем; моделирование геохимических полей с применением методов многомерной статистики по литохимическим данным, включая ранговую корреляцию, факторный и кластерный анализ. В результате проведенного исследования получены следующие основные выводы. Рудное поле Светлое обладает типичными для эпитермальных месторождений кислотно-сульфатного золотого оруденения характеристиками: расположено в вулканическом поясе, приурочено к вулканическим аппаратам центрального типа, контролируемым разрывными нарушениями; золотое оруденение сопровождается рудоносными метасоматитами – вторичными кварцитами зонального строения. Характеристики структурного контроля и метасоматической зональности определяются при дешифрировании и интерпретации данных дистанционных съемок, аэромагниторазведки и гаммаспектрометрии. Распределение химических элементов во вторичном поле рассеяния позволило установить концентрически-зональную структуру, характерную для гидротермальных месторождений золота, с пространственно-временной сменой геохимических ассоциаций от центральной зоны рудообразования к периферии на локальном уровне генерализации: Au, Mo→Au, Ag, Pb→К, Na, Al→V, Zn, (Со, Ni, Cr, Mn, P). В пределах минерализованных зон устанавливается следующая последовательность формирования геохимических ассоциаций (от центральной части к периферии): Au-Ag→Ag, Pb, Sb→As, Mo, Ba→Со, Cr, Mn, V, Zn, P.
