title: The long-term outcomes of posterior nasal neurectomy with or without pharyngeal neurectomy in patients with allergic rhinitis: a randomized controlled trial

description: Abstract Introduction Allergic rhinitis is a form of IgE mediated inflammation of the nasal mucosa in response to specific allergens, resulting in typical symptoms. Objectives This study was designed with the primary goal of comparing the clinical efficacy of posterior nasal neurectomy with or without pharyngeal neurectomy for the treatment of moderate-to-severe perennial allergic rhinitis. Secondary study aims included a comparison of the severity of comorbidities, including chronic cough and asthma, between patients in these two surgical treatment groups. Methods A total of 52 patients were enrolled in this randomized controlled trial and were assigned to either the control group (posterior nasal neurectomy) or the experimental group (posterior nasal neurectomy + pharyngeal neurectomy). The visual analog scale and rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire were used to compare the differences in patient symptoms between baseline and 6-, 12-, and 24-months post-treatment. In addition, patient cough and asthma symptoms were monitored during follow-up via visual analog scale and asthma control test respectively. Results No significant differences in preoperative scores were evident between groups (p&gt; 0.05). At 6-months post-treatment, there were significant differences in visual analog scale, rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire, and asthma control test scores relative to baseline values in experimental group and control group patients (p&lt; 0.05), and this remained true upon 12- and 24-month follow-up. No significant differences in visual analog scale, rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire, or asthma control test scores were observed between the two treatment groups at any postoperative follow-up time point (p&gt; 0.05), while coughing severity was found to be significantly reduced in the experimental group relative to the control group (p&lt; 0.05). Conclusion posterior nasal neurectomy can be safely implemented with or without pharyngeal neurectomy in order to effectively treat allergic rhinitis. Combined posterior nasal neurectomy and pharyngeal neurectomy treatment may offer greater value than posterior nasal neurectomy alone for the treatment of allergic rhinitis patients with chronic cough.

title: SPORTS INJURIES IN PROFESSIONAL SOCCER PLAYERS

description: ABSTRACT Introduction Sports injuries in soccer are hardly avoided due to the characteristics of battles, such as intense conflict and high-level competitiveness related to soccer. Objective Investigate the most common sports injuries in professional soccer players. Methods A questionnaire survey was carried out with 365 valid returns, including 198 male and 177 female professional soccer players. Data were collected and distributed using Excel software. Results Among sports injuries in professional soccer athletes, minor injuries are more frequent, and the lower limbs are the most affected. The subjective cause of these injuries is mainly overwork. Among the objective causes, many injuries caused by the sports characteristics of soccer are inevitable, having a strong connection with the intrinsic factors of the sport. Treating injuries combines traditional Chinese medicine with the advantages of Western medicine. Conclusion It is recommended that athletes focus constantly on their injuries while playing the sport. Coaches should verify the safety of the athletes, taking precautions to reduce injuries as much as possible and improve the athlete’s competitive level, prolonging his professional activity. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

title: Getting "Beyond the Fence" (ATI reference 29)

description: In 2015, Correctional Service Canada launched a virtual tour promising a 'first-hand' and 'realistic' depiction of life and work inside a federal penitentiary titled Beyond the Fence. Based on an analysis of Access to Information disclosures, we examine the backstage activities that went into the production, marketing, and evaluation of the tour. Drawing on Goffman's (1959) notions of frontstage and backstage, as well as MacCannell's (1973) idea of staged authenticity, we reveal how representations of incarceration and punishment were sanitized to build legitimacy and consent for carceralism. We conclude by reflecting on the need to study the content and form of state representations of penality, and the challenges that representations pose to working toward a future without carceral institutions.

title: KP Tours (ATI records)

description: In October 2013, Correctional Service Canada (CSC) decommissioned Kingston Penitentiary (KP) in Kingston, Ontario. To commemorate KP’s closing, CSC organized facility tours for staff members and their families, journalists, and the public. Based on an analysis of Access to Information disclosures informed by Goffman’s (1959) conceptualization of impression management, we examine CSC’s backstage work integral to the organization of KP tours. Our analysis reveals how CSC sought to elevate positive stories of penitentiary staff, as well as the organization’s contribution to public safety and the local community as a means of neutralizing opposition to the closure of the facility expressed by stakeholders. We conclude by discussing the implications of carceral symbolism and the form it takes when punishment memorialization is driven by the imperatives of ‘correctional’ agencies.

title: Export-deficient monoubiquitinated PEX5 triggers peroxisome removal in SV40 large T antigen-transformed mouse embryonic fibroblasts

description: Peroxisomes are ubiquitous cell organelles essential for human health. To maintain a healthy cellular environment, dysfunctional and superfluous peroxisomes need to be selectively removed. Although emerging evidence suggests that peroxisomes are mainly degraded by pexophagy, little is known about the triggers and molecular mechanisms underlying this process in mammalian cells. In this study, we show that PEX5 proteins fused to a bulky C-terminal tag trigger peroxisome degradation in SV40 large T antigen-transformed mouse embryonic fibroblasts. In addition, we provide evidence that this process is autophagy-dependent and requires monoubiquitination of the N-terminal cysteine residue that marks PEX5 for recycling. As our findings also demonstrate that the addition of a bulky tag to the C terminus of PEX5 does not interfere with PEX5 monoubiquitination but strongly inhibits its export from the peroxisomal membrane, we hypothesize that such a tag mimics a cargo protein that cannot be released from PEX5, thus keeping monoubiquitinated PEX5 at the membrane for a sufficiently long time to be recognized by the autophagic machinery. This in turn suggests that monoubiquitination of the N-terminal cysteine of peroxisome-associated PEX5 not only functions to recycle the peroxin back to the cytosol, but also serves as a quality control mechanism to eliminate peroxisomes with a defective protein import machinery.

title: Anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory bioactive hits from <i>Coriaria intermedia</i> Matsum. stem and <i>Dracontomelon dao</i> (Blanco) Merr. & Rolfe bark through bioassay-guided fractionation and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

description: Women have been found to be at a higher risk of morbidity and mortality from type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and asthma. α-Glucosidase inhibitors have been used to treat T2DM, and arachidonic acid 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15) inhibitors have been suggested to be used as treatments for asthma and T2DM. Compounds that inhibit both enzymes may be studied as potential treatments for people with both T2DM and asthma. This study aimed to determine potential anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory bioactive hits from<i> Coriaria intermedia</i> Matsum. stem and <i>Dracontomelon dao</i> (Blanco) Merr. & Rolfe bark. A bioassay-guided fractionation framework was used to generate bioactive fractions from <i>C. intermedia</i> stem and <i>D. dao</i> bark. Subsequently, dereplication through ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) and database searching was performed to putatively identify the components of one bioactive fraction from each plant. Seven compounds were putatively identified from the <i>C. intermedia</i> stem active fraction, and six of these compounds were putatively identified from this plant for the first time. Nine compounds were putatively identified from the <i>D. dao</i> bark active fraction, and seven of these compounds were putatively identified from this plant for the first time. One putative compound from the <i>C. intermedia</i> stem active fraction (corilagin) has been previously reported to have inhibitory activity against both α-glucosidase and 15-lipoxygenase-1. It is suggested that further studies on the potential of corilagin as an anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory treatment should be pursued based on its several beneficial pharmacological activities and its low reported toxicity.

title: REHABILITATION OF KNEE INJURIES IN BASKETBALL PLAYERS

description: ABSTRACT Introduction Basketball games are extremely combative, and the knee joint is severely impacted between runs and jumps inherent to the sport, and its injury is often inevitable. Objective Investigate the rehabilitation processes for knee joint injuries in basketball players. Methods In this paper, six athletes were questioned about the rehabilitation approach used for their injuries. In all, the centrifugal training system was used. The frequency of the exercises was three times a week, with one-day intervals. The overall training lasted nine weeks. Before and after the experiment, the athletes’ knee joint mobility and pain scores were measured, and the data were compared and analyzed. Results After nine weeks of training, the pain score by the visual analog scale was 2-4 points, corresponding to the score of mild pain without expressive impacts on activities of daily living. Conclusion The form of lower limb centrifugal training proposed in this study may help the recovery of functional status in the athletes’ knee joint, improve their joint mobility and reduce pain, presenting itself as an effective training method to be incorporated into rehabilitation. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

title: INFLUENCE OF ATHLETES’ ANXIETY ON COMPETITION RESULTS

description: ABSTRACT Introduction Athletes naturally feel anxiety and tension during competition, where mild worry and stress can further encourage athlete performance, but severe anxiety seriously interferes with athlete performance on the field. Objective Study the effects of anxiety on competition results. Methods This paper analyzes 40 athletes from various sports, use the relevant scoring methods on the competition situation anxiety scale, makes statistics on athletes’ psychological scores and athletes’ anxiety with different competition outcomes, and draws relevant charts aiming to better observe the psychological situation of athletes with different competition levels. Results Athletes have different types of anxiety in the competition process, and athletes with different competition outcomes also have different anxiety emphases. Among them, athletes with high sports levels often feel nervous and anxious about the results of competitions and the fiercest competition. The degree of anxiety about their actions is relatively low; athletes with lower performance are just the opposite. Conclusion Coaches should perform targeted psychological counseling to adjust the mentality of athletes to achieve a better competitive state. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

title: A review of the status of web-based African Plant-Pollinator Interaction data

description: A protocol was developed to collect and mine data from various web-based sources such as journals, web pages, handbooks, manuals and any other source that is web accessible and has information sought. The intention was to collect as much as possible all data with plant-pollinator interaction from studies carried out in Kenya and other parts of Africa. To assure technical support and homogeinity of thoughts, the activity was carried out in a write-shop set up whereby a team of data miners were brought together for 5 days to collect the data. They were trained on the meaning of plant pollinator interactions, key words that should look for, data coverage area, specific sites that are useful and the reporting. Further, monitoring and review of the data collection was continously done, to ensure the right data was collected appropriately. Various search engines were used to collect the data. The data was then prepared in a Globi data base to enhance its use base on the FAIR data principles. The results show that little data exists in Africa on plant-pollinator interaction based on the FAIR data principles. It further shows that Africa need to adopt FAIR principles to enhance utilization of generated data by scientists and expand the benefits of such data in Africa.
