Purpose: Blood-derived biomarkers have been extensively considered as possible prognostic indicators in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) recently. In order to assess the value of circulating biomarkers in common IPF clinical practice, the study intends to draw conclusions regarding the link between disease severity, prognostic indicators, and serum matrix metalloproteinase in patients with stable idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Materials and Methods: The study comprised 22 people with an IPF diagnosis that had been verified by a multidisciplinary approach. The sociodemographic details, clinical and radiologic symptoms, pulmonary function tests and the Gender-Age-Physiology (GAP) score were noted. ELISA has been used to research serum MMP concentrations.
Results: There is no statistically significant correlation between the Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP) 2, MMP 7, MMP 9, and MMP13 and the GAP index and, pulmonary function tests, or disease severity. GAP score was found to be higher in stage 3 in patients with severe disease, in stage 2 in patients with moderate disease, and in stage 1 in patients with mild disease.
Conclusion: There are consistent findings in the literature, despite the fact that the association between MMP and IPF prognostic markers, pulmonary function tests, and disease severity could not be seen in this investigation. However, because they could open the door to a cutting-edge treatment strategy, these indicators should be investigated prospectively in larger series.
Behavior of Tidally Triggered Earthquakes Depends on Fluid Conditions
Authors: Delorey Andrew A. , Chen Ting 
Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT
Seismicity at The Geysers geothermal field and in Oklahoma is heavily influenced by industrial activities related to energy production, though the mechanism in which earthquakes are induced or triggered is different. At The Geysers, much of the seismicity is linked to thermoelastic stresses caused by injecting cold water into hot rocks, whereas in Oklahoma, the seismicity is linked to a reduction of confining stress on faults due to increasing pore pressure resulting from wastewater injections. Here, we show that these contrasting conditions are also evident in tidally triggered earthquakes. At The Geysers, earthquakes preferentially occur during maximum extensional stress, which does not occur at the same time as maximum shear stress on optimally oriented faults in the regional stress field. In Oklahoma, earthquakes preferentially occur during maximum shear stress on optimally oriented faults rather than maximum extensional stress. The magnitude of tidal extensional stress is naturally much greater than tidal shear stress. However, in a fluid-saturated environment, pore pressure responds to changes in volume, which can counteract or reduce the effect of the applied stress. The difference in behavior at these two sites is indicative of the level of coupling between applied stress and pore pressure, corresponding to unsaturated conditions at The Geysers and high pore pressure in Oklahoma.

W artykule omówiono politykę władz ZSRR wobec Kościoła katolickiego w okresie międzywojennym. Konsekwencją działań podjętych przez komunistów miała być całkowita likwidacja struktur kościelnych oraz wychowanie nowego, radzieckiego Polaka – ateisty.
W efekcie licznych kampanii prowadzonych przez służby specjalne, organy administracji państwowej, opartych głównie na terrorze i fizyczną eliminację duchowieństwa i wiernych, Kościół katolicki praktycznie przestał istnieć w ZSRR w 1938 r.
Jednocześnie w artykule pokazano na przykładzie polskojęzycznej gazety „Trybuny Radzieckiej”, jak za pomocą narzuconej odgórnie przez władze komunistyczne antyreligijnej propagandy dążono do kształtowania pożądanych, ateistycznych postaw wśród obywateli ZSRR.

Nanas (Ananas comosus) adalah salah satu komoditas buah unggulan di Indonesia. Namun, buah nanas termasuk sangat sensitif dan mudah mengalami penurunan kualitas. Salah satu cara untuk mencegah atau memperlambat fenomena tersebut adalah dengan melapisi nanas terolah minimal menggunakan edible coating. Pada penelitian ini, edible coating dibuat dari pati kulit singkong, kitosan, dan gliserol. Kitosan tidak dapat larut dalam air, sehingga harus menggunakan asam asetat dan asam sitrat untuk melarutkannya. Selain sebagai pelarut, asam asetat dan asam sitrat juga berperan sebagai antioksidan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah memperoleh komposisi edible coating terbaik untuk melindungi nanas terolah minimal dari pembusukan. Pembuatan edible coating dilakukan dengan variasikan konsentrasi pati, gliserol, serta jenis asam untuk melarutkan kitosan. Adapun hasil terbaik yang didapatkan pada variabel M yang terdiri dari pati 5% b/v, gliserol 0.6 mL/gr, kitosan 1% b/v dengan pelarut asam sitrat 2% b/v. Browning muncul pada hari ke-14 pada nanas terlapisi edible coating Variabel M yang disimpan pada suhu 12.4oC dengan persen penurunan kadar vitamin C adalah 1.11%. Hasil ini juga sesuai dengan data uji sensori, dimana nanas dengan pelapis Variabel M memperoleh nilai rata-rata kesukaan tertinggi untuk parameter aroma, tekstur, warna, rasa, dan total penerimaan.
O fenômeno das zungueiras, a segregação urbana e a consolidação dos musseques em Luanda, Angola
Authors: André Aurea Bianca Vasconcelos , Luz Vera Santana 
Published: September 2022

Este artigo tem como escopo o fenômeno das vendedoras do comércio informal, conhecidas como zungueiras, e a consolidação de bairros informais no espaço urbano da cidade Luanda, Angola, como dois aspectos da segregação socioespacial. Busca-se entender as dinâmicas urbanas que resultaram no processo de constituição dos musseques e suas transformações territoriais ao longo do tempo e da segregação das zungueiras, ambos como supressão do direito à cidade, mediante aspectos da trajetória que o país percorreu desde o período colonial até a atualidade. Entendendo que a cidade é um campo de constantes disputas e conflitos socioterritoriais, recorre-se a referências sobre os conceitos de circuito inferior e das epistemologias do sul, no sentido de encontrar brechas para o entendimento de possibilidades de autonomia e emancipação.
Avoiding Glenoid Baseplate Fixation Failure by Altering Surgical Technique for Varying Bone Densities

Published: September 2022

Background:
Glenoid baseplate failure is one of the causes of revision and poor outcomes in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). The objective of this study was to determine whether alterations in surgical technique can improve time-zero fixation of the baseplate in varying bone densities. A secondary objective was to identify whether preoperative radiographic glenoid sclerosis width was associated with the implementation of these techniques.

Methods:
This study included a biomechanical analysis and a retrospective radiographic review. The biomechanical portion describes 2 alterations to the standard surgical technique (under-preparation [A1] or over-preparation [A2] of the central screw pilot hole) and determined their torque-compression relationship via bone-substitute blocks with varying densities. Patients who underwent the described technical alterations were identified from a registry database of primary RSAs performed between 2007 and 2020. These patients were matched to patients who underwent the standard surgical technique, and preoperative radiographs were compared. Interrater reliability testing was performed to determine reproducibility.

Results:
With respect to the biomechanical arm, the average compressive force of the baseplate in the low-density block model when using the standard technique was 112 N compared with 300 N for the A1 technique (p = 0.01). In the high-density bone model, the standard technique resulted in failure to seat the baseplate, or screw breakage. Performing the A2 technique, the baseplate was seated without failure, with an average compressive force of 450 N. In the clinical arm, retrospective intraoperative video review for use of the alternative techniques found 20 shoulders in the “low-density” cohort and 21 in the “high-density” cohort. There was a significant difference in the glenoid sclerosis thickness between the experimental and matched control groups in our “high-density” cohort (p = 0.0014). The interrater reliability coefficient was found to be 0.69 for the “low-density” glenoid sclerosis thickness measurement and 0.92 for the “high-density” measurement.

Conclusions:
In low- and high-density bone models, alterations in surgical technique significantly improved compression and improved the ability to successfully seat the glenoid baseplate. Preoperative radiographs can assist in indicating the alternative technique in the sclerotic glenoid.

Clinical Relevance:
Utilization of these techniques intraoperatively will improve time-zero fixation of the glenoid baseplate and potentially avoid failure of fixation.
Exploring the diversity of leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) on the islands of Vietnam: A survey of Phu Quoc Island, south of Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Dinh Thi 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Chrysomelidae on the islands of Vietnam has been poorly known. In this study, we investigated the diversity of Chrysomelidae on Phu Quoc Island in Kien Giang province, Southern Vietnam. Specimens were collected from Phu Quoc national park and the buffer zone forest. First, all specimens were ordered into a morph-species operational taxonomic unit (OTU). We collected 52 morphological OTUs of 31 genera and 5 subfamilies, 20 of which were identified as level species. Then, all morphological OTUs were extracted, amplified, and sequenced from the 658 bp fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. A total of 63 DNA barcode sequences of 13 species and 27 morphological OTUs were successfully sequenced and assigned to 32 Barcode Index Numbers (BIN) in Bold. In the comparison, between morphological OTUs and BINs, the number of OTUs was reduced to 20 species and 24 OTUs (a total of 44 OTUs). The number of species on Phu Quoc Island is estimated to be 1.38x –1. 96x greater. A total of 32 BINs were generated from this study, 30 of which were new to Vietnam and 28 of which were new to BOLD. The results of this study provide the first document of the leaf beetle fauna on Phu Quoc island and the first DNA Barcoding data for Chrysomelidae from this region in Vietnam, as well as additional documents of leaf beetles on islands from another world

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Purpose
Methotrexate is a treatment option for ectopic pregnancy. Women who have utilized Methotrexate could need repeated doses or undergo an operation during follow-up. We aimed to evaluate the parameters that could affect Methotrexate success and to determine patients who could benefit from early doses of Methotrexate.
Methods
This retrospective study was conducted with 439 patients diagnosed with tubal ectopic pregnancy. Women treated with Methotrexate successfully and patients need a second dose of Methotrexate or who underwent an operation were evaluated. Clinical, sonographic and laboratory findings were compared between groups.
Results
A total of 259 patients were urgently operated and 37 of them were operated on after Methotrexate. The number of patients treated successfully with single dose Methotrexate was 102, on days 1 and 7 administered Methotrexate was 22, and on days 1 and 4 administered was 19. The mean admission β-hCG level and day 4 to 1 β-hCG ratio were significantly different between operation and Methotrexate groups. The overall Methotrexate success was 79%. A β-hCG value of 2255 mIU/ml predicted the success with specificity of 68.5% and sensitivity of 70.3%. Comparison of groups with single-dose, additional dose, or operation exposed that day 4 to 1 β-hCG ratio was statistically different. A ratio of 95.5% predicted the success with a specificity of 72.5% and a sensitivity of 84.7%.
Conclusion
We suggest that the determination of the β-hCG level might help decide whether the patient should be hospitalized. Moreover, day 4 to 1 β-hCG ratio could be used for early intervention to increase treatment success.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Introduction:
The most prevalent oral condition is tooth decay. Prior research sometimes points to a connection between certain systemic disorders and dental health state. Nevertheless, it is still debatable whether metabolic syndrome (Mets) poses a danger? As a result, the present study was carried out to explore the connection between DMFT and the MetS and its components.
Method:
This cross-sectional study was done on 10606 people aged 40 to 70 who participated in phase I of the Persian Kharameh cohort study from 2014 to 2017. Mets was defined according to the IDF definition. Multiple logistic and Poisson regression were conducted to evaluate the relationship between DMFT and MetS (its components). Moreover, the Random Forest model was used to depict the importance of covariates on the relationship with MetS and its components.
Results:
The mean age of the participants was 51.94 ± 8.27 years. Of the 10663 participants in the Kharameh cohort study, 4719 cases were males (44.26%). After controlling of confounders, with increasing DMFT, the odds of hypertension, elevated fasting plasma glucose, and reduced HDL cholesterol increased. Additionally, the random forest model showed that DMFT was an effective factor for central obesity and high blood pressure.
Conclusion:
The findings of this research demonstrated a significant relationship between DMFT and hypertension, elevated fasting plasma glucose, and reduced HDL cholesterol. Additionally, DMFT is more effective on the main components of MetS: central obesity and blood pressure than on MetS.

Abstract
Background: Food allergy (FA) is a serious condition that can lead to anaphylaxis and even death. It is on the increase among school-aged children. Since allergic reactions may happen at school, immediate intervention is required, which must be initiated by school personnel. This study investigates the knowledge, attitude, and practice toward FA among primary school teachers in Al-Kharj Governorate, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from February to April 2021. A validated 34-item questionnaire was distributed electronically among primary school teachers in Al-Kharj using a multistage random sampling method, covering four sections (socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge, practice, and attitude). SPSS version 22 was used to analyze the collected data.
Results: The study included 370 teachers: 54.3% were females, and 83.5% were Saudi. Overall knowledge and practice mean sores were low (6.2 ± 3.6 out of 22 and 2.1± 1.5 out of 8, respectively). The mean attitude score was high (18.0 ± 2.0 out of 20). Knowledge level was significantly higher among teachers with a family history of FA (p=0.001). Practice score was significantly higher among younger (p=0.008), non-Saudi, private school teachers, and newly working teachers (p=0.001). Female teachers had a significantly more positive attitude towards FA (p=0.03).
Conclusion: The competent health and legislative authorities should set the appropriate policies to ensure teachers are trained and re-trained in recognizing and managing acute FA-related anaphylactic events. An appropriate action plan for managing food-induced reactions should be in place at every school.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
The ocean occupies 70% of the world's surface area, and extreme changes in sea level can have an even greater impact on humans. Therefore, it is necessary to make an accurate advance prediction of extreme sea level. In this paper, a model with robustness, high accuracy and universal applicability has been constructed based on Nonlinear Auto-Regressive Exogenous (NARX) Neural Network. The data-set collected from several observation stations are selected as the input factors. Moreover, a neuron pruning strategy based on sensitivity analysis is also introduced. Because of this strategy, the model structure can be adjusted accordingly. Meanwhile, a modular prediction method is introduced based on the tide harmonic analysis data so as to make the model prediction results more accurate. At last, a hybrid extreme sea level prediction model, Pruned Modular (PM)-NARX, is constructed. In this paper, the model is trained by using historical data and used for extreme sea level prediction along the southern America in 2020. The simulations on MATLAB show that the correlation between the predicted data and the observed data is stable above 0.99 at 12h in advance. The prediction speed, accuracy, and stability are higher than those of conventional models. In addition, two sets of follow-up tests show that the prediction accuracy of the model can still maintain a high level. It can even be applied to other time-series prediction problems beyond extreme sea level prediction as well.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Background： ABC transporters are a special family of membrane proteins and fulfill a multitude of functions. In plants, a few research have found ABC transporters acting as virulence factors in oomycete-plant interactions. However, previous studies have only focused on phylogenetic analysis of ABC transporters in particular species, and a comprehensive analysis has not been carried out. In this study, we examined 21 species genomes of oomycetes for phylogenetic and functional analysis of ABC transporters. Aim to find potential virulence factors in the interaction of plants and oomycetes.
Result：We identified 29~151 ABC transporter proteins in 21 species of oomycetes, and 965 were filtered in a phylogenetic analysis. The number of ABC transporters in biotrophic oomycetes was significantly lower than in hemi-biotrophic and necrotrophic oomycetes, and the number in Phytophthorawas the largest. Our analysis demonstrated that most oomycete ABC transporters are highly conserved, while others show remarkable group-specific diversification. The ABCA group III and ABCB half-size II proteins clustered with bacteria, appearing to be derived from horizontal transfer events from bacterial genomes. The ABCG subfamily was the most expanded group in oomycetes. The number of ABCD subfamily members was the smallest and was highly conserved in oomycetes. The structural characteristics of ABC proteins indicate diverse structural types in each of the ABC subfamilies. A heatmap was used to analyze the expression of ABC transporters. ABC transporters were expressed in middle and late stages, which represent biotrophic and necrotrophic phases, with the exception of some ABCB transporters being highly expressed in early stage. This suggests that ABC proteins expressed in middle and late stages may participate in host disease and cause host cell death.
Conclusions: In this study, 965 proteinswere filtered in a phylogenetic analysis from 21 species of oomycete representing three different lifestyles. Meanwhile, we also analysis of oomycete ABC proteins provides insight into the diversity of the five subfamilies among the main oomycete lineages. This study presents the first comprehensive overview of the ABC transporter family, and provides an important platform for in-depth analysis of oomycete-plant interactions and a database for identifying pathogenic factors in oomycetes.

Abstract
One year after the outbreak of the COVID-19, medical staff are facing high anxiety due to multiple work stresses, while they are also receiving more social support than ever before. Social support has become a protective factor for health care workers' anxiety symptoms, but the exact mechanism of action is not yet known. Based on the buffering model, this study aims to explore the impact and mechanisms of action of health care workers' perception of social support (PSS) on anxiety symptoms in the context of the epidemic and to further explore how emotional sensation of risk(ESR) and resilience play their influence. To this end, this study measured 839 health care workers and 322 civil servants using an online questionnaire from 4 February to 1 March 2021. The results found that (1) PSS was significantly higher among healthcare workers than other civil servants; (2) PSS among healthcare workers negatively predicted anxiety symptoms; (3) ESR partially mediated the relationship between PSS and anxiety symptoms; (4) resilience moderated the first half of the pathway in the model of PSS through ESR on anxiety symptoms. The emotional perception of the epidemic in individuals with high resilience decreases significantly with the increase of PSS, while this change is not significant in individuals with low resilience.
